All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 121 The Secret History of the Cold Palace, The Yuan Family's Decline
The old monster changed from his previous muddleheaded state, put away his sharp nails, and walked forward.

Lu Youjin obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to open the door.

"Your Majesty, you go first!"

Although the voice was low, the old monster had practiced martial arts after all, and his ears were sharp.

"Little girl, there's no need to waste your efforts. If I want you to go out, you can of course go out. If I don't want you to, if one or two people disappear in the entire palace, they won't suspect coming here."

Ling Xiao's eyes followed the old monster closely, and he touched the half plaque that fell on the ground, his eyes full of nostalgia.

The plaque was covered with soil, and weeds grew on it, making it difficult to distinguish.

That palace, because it has been unoccupied for too long, is already crumbling.

This person didn't want to hurt them, and in that case, he couldn't get away, so Ling Xiao took a bold step to keep up with the old monster.

"Senior, there are so many vacant palaces in the palace, why did you choose the cold palace?"

I remember that when the first emperor passed away, those concubines who were in the cold palace had already been buried with them.

"Because the Leng Palace is quiet, even if there is a bloody storm in the palace, it will never affect the Leng Palace."

As he spoke, the old monster pressed the withered grass-like hair in front of him and revealed his face.

Seeing that the old monster couldn't speak, Lu Youjin stopped moving his hands and stood next to Ling Xiao.

"You are the current emperor, right?"

The old monster said to himself, "I don't know which lady will come in this cold palace. Speaking of which, after coming in, it will be deserted."

The old monster was used to being alone, talking to himself, Ling Xiao asked a few times in the middle, but the other party didn't notice.

Ling Xiao could only find it by himself, but this cold palace was much bigger than the ordinary palace.

The reason why it is so big is that the large and small rooms here are all used to imprison the concubines who made mistakes, and the inside is dilapidated.

There is a wing room on the left, the doors and windows have been removed, and even half of the house has been tilted.

Ling Xiao just opened the door, only to see the door creak, lying on the ground.

Afterwards, a ball of women's hair was blown to the feet with the wind, Ling Xiao was startled and sweated, and quickly kicked it away.

"What's all this?"

"Concubine Ling of the first dynasty was imprisoned here. She became insane and beat the maid beside her to death. She cut off the maid's hair from the scalp with a knife and wore it every day."

"The late emperor is gone, even the concubines in the cold palace are guilty, but they have to be buried with him, so the hair ends up here."

At some point, the old monster stood behind Ling Xiao and suddenly made a sound. Ling Xiao was startled.

Swallowing, looking into the distance, her hair was blown by the wind, as if she could imagine that scene.

Going further inside, you can still see the blood on the stake.

Ling Xiao didn't need to speak, the old monster just said it on his own.

"The blood on this wooden stake is left by Concubine Ling who was tied up here by other abandoned concubines and tortured in every possible way."

Lu Youjin only felt trembling all over. They were also women who had been thrown into limbo, so why did they fight?
"What on earth are they doing? Entering the cold palace is the only way to die. Getting out of the cold palace is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

The little girl was too childish, and the old monster laughed. With his wanton laughter, dust fell.

Ling Xiao had a bad premonition, and quickly pulled Lu Youjin back a step.

Fortunately, they left early, otherwise the house would fall on them.

The house shattered in response, raising flying dust all over the sky, leaving only ruins. Everything here was extremely fragile and could be shattered even if it was loud.

Ling Xiao became more energetic. If there was a tunnel here, but the house was shattered, it would be even more difficult to find it.

But the seniors around me have lived here for a certain number of years, maybe they have discovered something?
"Lu Youjin, go back!"

The two of them are just a cooperative relationship. It was just an accident that the two of them came to the cold palace together, but it's better not to let her know about the next thing.

Lu Youjin looked at the old monster and was quite worried, but the emperor had already made up his mind, so he could only turn around, open the door and go back.

"You deliberately pushed that little girl away. What exactly do you want to ask?"

Being seen at a glance, Ling Xiao was not embarrassed.

"Senior has lived here for many years. Can I ask my senior's last name?"

As soon as I heard about this kid, I just wanted to find out his name.

"Yuan Yang, the foster brother of the former empress!"

Since Ling Xiao came to the throne, he knew that the former emperor had two empresses in total. The first one was promoted from princess concubine to empress. However, after only enjoying the glory of empress for half a year, he went to the cold palace for some reason.

As for the future, no one talks about it.

However, Yuan Yang, according to legend, was the adoptive younger brother of the former empress, and later became a general. After the empress was thrown into the cold palace, a battle was said to have disappeared. Many people thought that he had already died in the battlefield. it's here.

Doesn't that mean that Yuan Yang will take revenge on the first emperor who bullied his elder sister?
This joke is not funny at all.

"Ever since I found out that Aluan was thrown into limbo, when I rushed back, Aluan was already insane and didn't remember who I was."

"However, Yuan has been in love with the eldest sister for a long time. In this cold palace, he respects her, takes care of her, and stays with her forever!"

The happiness on the corner of his mouth could no longer be suppressed. Ling Xiao was in a complicated mood. After all, the late emperor was his uncle, and he was obviously being cuckolded.

"Then why don't you take her with you?"

Not long after the former emperor abolished the queen, he established another Li family. He had long forgotten about the queen who was deposed in the cold palace.

After Yuan Yang heard it, he just sighed softly, "You are not as good as your uncle. When the first emperor was here, the Daqi Dynasty was peaceful. The world is so big. Could it be that the king's land is still under his nose? The security of life."

"It's a pity that Aluan's concubine died so early!"

Ling Xiao was a little embarrassed when Yuan Yang revealed to his face that his achievements were not as good as those of the late emperor, but the other party had no intention of holding him accountable.

Simply pull a bunch of weeds and sit side by side.

Yuan Yang glanced at him, didn't he say that the current emperor is the most precious?How could this cold palace sit so peacefully?
"Then the empress has left, why are you still guarding the cold palace?"

If you leave here, there must be a great scenery.

"Look!" Yuan Yang pointed to a palace behind him, "This is where she lived, and we spent the best time here, sitting here, as if she was still there."

Ling Xiao sighed softly, but it's a pity that lovers can't get married in the end. The first emperor got it, but he didn't know how to cherish it.

The Yuan family was also framed by the Li family, convicted of treason, and all the families were executed.

I thought he had been wiped out long ago, but I didn't expect that there was another one hidden in Leng Gong. Although he was a adopted son, he was once the most dazzling one among the younger generation of the Yuan family. Now he is lonely, which is really embarrassing.
