Seeing Ouyang Shaochen's handsome face like a picture scroll close in front of her eyes, and the faint scent of black bamboo lingering around her body, Murong Xue's high-hanging heart was instantly relieved: "My lord, why are you here?"
"You are alone in the palace, I don't worry..." Ouyang Shaochen looked down at her, his dark eyes flashed with light.
"Then how did you get in?" Murong Xue's eyes were dark.
The queen, the second princess ordered her to be killed, and she would never let Ouyang Shaochen enter the palace. Ouyang Shaochen came in quietly by himself, but it is daytime, the palace gate is extremely guarded, and no one with high martial arts skills will be allowed to enter the palace. Maybe God didn't know it, and flew in without anyone noticing...
"Come in from here." Ouyang Shaochen said lightly, he didn't know where he pressed his hand, the flat ground suddenly split to two sides, and Murong Xue fell straight down...
When her feet landed on the ground, Murong Xue staggered a few times before she stood still. Looking up, she saw that she was standing in a long stone path. The stone path was made of piled stones. It was high on both sides and three meters wide. side…
Murong Xue's cold eyes narrowed slightly: "This is... the secret way..."
Ouyang Shaochen hummed lightly.
"Who built it?" Murong Xue asked softly: the stones in the secret passage are dark in color and have rounded edges and corners. It can be seen that this secret passage has been built for at least several years.
"Guess?" The corners of Ouyang Shaochen's mouth curled up slightly, mysteriously.
Murong Xue's bright face darkened in an instant, and she was asked to guess again, what she was least interested in was guessing, but it was not difficult to guess the owner of this secret path: "It's Dongfangli."
"How do you know?" Ouyang Shaochen looked at her lightly, a little bit of surprise flashed in his dark eyes.
"Guess?" Murong Xue smiled slightly, her eyes full of provocation.
Slowly turned around, walked along the secret path, gracefully forward: When Dongfang Mo led the civil and military ministers into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Dongfang Li once said, "Everything is arranged", the arrangement he said should be It means to take the emperor out of the secret passage.
After all, the secret passage is built underground, safe and hidden. Even if the empress orders people to search the palace, they may not be able to find the entrance to the secret passage...
Looking at her haughty figure, Ouyang Shaochen's eyes flashed a clear smile, and he followed quickly: "Xue'er, do you know what your father talked with the Xiliang Emperor back then?"
Murong Xue shook her head: "When I entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Dongfang Li was sitting beside the emperor's bed. Dongfang Mo messed up the Hall of Mental Cultivation in order to catch Dongfang Li. I didn't even have time to talk to the emperor..."
Ouyang Shaochen nodded: "I heard that the Emperor Xiliang is very ill?"
Murong Xue curled her lips into a smile: "The emperor of Xiliang is not sick, he was poisoned."
"Poisoned? What kind of poison?" Ouyang Shaochen looked indifferently.
Murong Xue shook her head: "I haven't been close to the emperor, so I can't tell what kind of poison he has been poisoned by. However, he must have been poisoned chronically. The poison is hidden in his body, eroding his health little by little. A middle-aged person in his teens is weaker than a 60-year-old..."
Ouyang Shaochen's eyes narrowed slightly: "The person who poisoned..."
"Empress, she poisoned all six sons of the Xiliang Emperor to death. She probably poisoned the weeping blood poison in Dongfang Li's prison. The emperor's poison is poisoned. She is not the second choice..." Murong Xue was careless. As he spoke, Shi Shiran walked into the half-opened stone door, and in an instant, the bright sunshine shone on his body.
Murong Xue closed her eyes and opened them again, and found that she was standing in a luxurious reception room. Dongfang Li was wearing a snow blue brocade robe, her face was slightly pale, sitting at the sandalwood table in the center of the living room, holding a glass of Light tea.
Seeing Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue, he said lightly: "You guys have come out."
"En!" Murong Xue nodded, "Where is this?"
"The courtyard next to the imperial palace." Dongfang Li said softly.
Murong Xue looked sideways out of the window, only to see the high palace wall, just tens of meters away...
The queen, the second princess sent a large number of imperial guards to search Dongfangli throughout the city. He actually lives outside the palace, separated from the palace by a wall. He is really courageous: "You have been living here since you returned to Xiliang?"
"Yeah." Dongfangli nodded: the more dangerous the place, the safer. He lived here for many days, but the queen never found out, so he deliberately found the time when the queen was least likely to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet my father, but unexpectedly, the queen, Dongfang Mo found out...
"How did your Xiliang Kingdom become like this?" Murong Xue asked in a deep voice: The Emperor of Xiliang is a brave warrior and a wise ruler who can distinguish right from wrong. How could he be plotted by the queen and poisoned? Let go of power
"Because the queen wanted to be the queen, she quietly murdered her father, and killed all the princes who stood in her way..." Dongfang Li said in a low voice, and the day when the queen was in the imperial garden appeared in front of her eyes. Here, the seven brothers were entertained with kind eyes.
A long table, the queen sits at the top seat, and seven of their brothers are lined up on both sides. The fragrant and mellow wine is poured into the wine glass, and the aroma is overflowing. The six royal brothers tried it carefully and confirmed that it was not poisonous. They all drank it down. .
He didn't find anything unusual, but he could smell something wrong with the aroma of the wine wafting from the wine glass. He wanted to remind the emperor brothers that it was too late. One by one, the emperor brothers fell to the ground bleeding from seven holes, their bodies shrunk. In a ball, very painful...
He was shocked in his heart, and was about to call the imperial physician and the guards, but the queen took the lead and scolded him with eyes full of anger for being cruel and merciless, and poisoned the princes...
Deputy Commander Wen of the Imperial Guard arrived with thousands of Imperial Guards, and without listening to his explanation, he drew his sword and killed him mercilessly...
At that time, the empress was planning to poison him to death together. He didn't drink the glass of poisoned wine, so the empress used the strategy of killing two birds with one stone, and blamed the deaths of the six imperial brothers on him...
Murong Xue blinked: "You queen, you are so ambitious, you actually want to be a queen..."
"If the empress really has the ability to rule the world, it is not impossible to make Xiliang grow stronger, and let her be the queen, but the fact is that she is narrow-minded and has no ability to rule the world. Dissidents, she vigorously supports her mother's family, and the current officials in the court, who hold important positions, are basically members of her mother's family, and the officials of the Wen family account for more than half of Xiliang Kingdom..." Dongfang Li said lightly, dark There was a chill in his pupils.
"Then what about those people who were in official positions before?" Murong Xue asked softly: Xiliang has only been established for ten years, and the ministers in the court are not yet ready for a complete replacement.
Dongfangli said softly: "Those who submit to her will be assigned official positions, and those who do not submit to her will basically be killed..."
