Chang Xuewei was also quite confused. If the Eighth Prince was in front of her, she would definitely knock open his brain to see what was inside.

"The whereabouts of the emperor was revealed by the eighth prince, and the eighth prince wanted the emperor dead, so Tu Zhizhi was ready to lend a helping hand."

Taking a look at the shocked Jiang Xuan and the other man, Yang Qingzhao felt as refreshed as if she had drunk sour plum soup in June.

"In two days at the latest, we will receive news of the emperor's death."

"Are you sure?" Chang Xuewei asked anxiously.

She wanted to get rid of the emperor herself to vent her hatred.

But if someone were to do this for her, and that person was the emperor's son, she would wish that person success.

"It's absolutely true." Yang Qingzhao smiled proudly, "Once the emperor dies, Luoyang City will become a ruin. Let's speed up and rush to Qingzhou. Maybe we can catch up with Tu Zhizhi."

"How can you be sure that Tu Zhizhi will listen to you?" Chang Xuewei only felt that Tu Zhizhi was eloquent and good at bewitching people.

Yang Qingzhao had an overly high opinion of himself, and perhaps he deliberately revealed his attitude during the negotiations, allowing Tu Zhizhi to seize the opportunity.

"I have put a Gu on her. If she doesn't behave, the Gu will make her a new person." Yang Qingzhao was not stupid and had made arrangements long ago.

Tu Zhizhi just wanted to survive. As for other things, she felt that as long as she stayed alive she could find a way to solve them, so the two of them hit it off.

After hearing Yang Qingzhao's explanation, Chang Xuewei felt much better: "So that's how it is. It seems I was overthinking."

She thought for a moment and began to wonder how much benefit the emperor's death would bring to her.

However, the emperor was as cunning as a fox, and the queen had faked her own death and was hiding in the dark. If she was careless, she would most likely be overthrown and suppressed by the couple.

"Which direction did they go?" Just in case, Chang Xuewei decided to chase after them to see what was going on.

Yang Qingzhao was waiting for her to say this. She quickly pointed her in a direction and then pulled Jiang Xuan to ask about Chen Changli and his wife.

Chang Xuewei ignored the two of them and directly sent people to chase in the direction Yang Qingzhao pointed.

Half a day later, she found traces left by the Eighth Prince and others.

"This direction..." Chang Xuewei frowned, as if she was recalling something.

"Further ahead is the official road to Jiazhou." The person behind her had a good memory and quickly figured out where this road led to. "Elder, the Eighth Prince must have taken his men to Jiazhou."

"Jiazhou is a barren place and close to the sea. The Eighth Prince was favored by Concubine De and the Emperor after all. How could he go to this place?" Chang Xuewei didn't think that the Eighth Prince would go to Jiazhou.

She thought carefully about Dajing's map, and pondered the Eighth Prince's temperament, her eyes were unusually cold, "The Eighth Prince wants to go to Yongzhou, which is close to Bashu."

"Bashu is strategically located and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If he occupies Yongzhou, Bashu will be his. By then, he will use Bashu as his base. I'm afraid that after defending it for a few years, the whole world will be taken away by him."

"The Eighth Prince wouldn't have thought of this." The young man was shocked when he heard Chang Xuewei's words.

"Maybe this is a backup plan that Concubine De left for him." Chang Xuewei's face suddenly turned ugly when she said this. "Bashu is not so easy to occupy."

"Because there are many foreign races there, and it is surrounded by miasma, poison masters and doctors have to be cautious when going there. The Eighth Prince doesn't have any capable people under his command, so how dare he set his sights on Bashu?"

"There must be some secret in this. We must quickly capture the Eighth Prince and prevent him from going to Yongzhou."

At Chang Xuewei's command, a group of well-trained people quickly caught up.

At this time, the eighth prince, with the dying Tu Zhizhi, met the emperor and his entourage head-on.

The eighth prince looked at the embarrassed emperor and felt neither surprise nor pain. Instead, he felt only the malice of wanting to get rid of the emperor as soon as possible.

"Whoever kills him will be rewarded handsomely." He pointed at the emperor and said murderously.

The people behind him looked at each other, and finally rushed towards the emperor for wealth and glory.

"Eighth Prince, you have such a cruel heart!" The emperor finally escaped from Luoyang City and secretly contacted the queen. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. He did not expect that the Eighth Prince would catch up with him at this time.

The moment he saw the Eighth Prince, the emperor felt relieved. He didn't want the Eighth Prince to kill him.

"All this is your fault. If you weren't so biased, how could I hate you?" Listening to the emperor's questioning, the eighth prince had a blank expression on his face.

"My mother died because of you. You killed my mother and you want to use me to the end. In this case, how can I still regard you as my father?"

"No, you never treated me as your son from the beginning. My attitude is because of you. If you want to blame someone, you have to blame yourself."

When the Eighth Prince thought of Concubine De, his hatred quickly grew, and the next thing he did was to turn it into murderous intent against the Emperor.

He took the bow and arrow from the person next to him and shot it at the emperor without mercy.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Su Dequan had been following the emperor. The eighth prince's murderous intent was so obvious that he had no way of ignoring it.

He rushed directly towards the emperor and blocked the arrow for him.

However, the emperor did not appreciate it and cruelly pushed him away, leaving him to die in front of him.

When the Eighth Prince noticed this scene, a scene flashed through his mind where the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince were competing against each other, and then several of the Emperor's concubines died for the princes.

His eyes suddenly turned red. Concubine De was not there at that time, but the Queen's knife was already pointed at her.

He followed Concubine De's instructions and quietly left with Princess An Qing, without even seeing Concubine De for the last time.

"Father, I finally understand why you have been able to be so arbitrary for so many years. For a selfish person like you, the only person in the world who is most suitable for you is the Queen. What are my mother and other concubines to you and your wife?"

"No, it should be said that you and your wife have never set your sights on them. You only want to scheme against others, and you are even on guard against your own flesh and blood."

The eighth prince said this with tears in his eyes and shot the arrow again.

He was filled with hatred and was younger than the emperor. No matter how the emperor tried to dodge, he could not escape the arrows he shot.

"Protect His Majesty." Seeing the emperor being shot by an arrow, the Eighth Prince's hands trembled unconsciously, his face turned pale, and soon tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Mother, your son will avenge you."

Wiping away his tears, the Eighth Prince drew his arrow and shot at the emperor again. This time the arrow hit the emperor right in the chest. The emperor covered his wound, fell to the ground, and soon became motionless.

The eighth prince noticed this scene and suddenly felt an indescribable calm in his heart.

He slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, then waved his hand and said, "Kill them all, leave no one alive."
