After Emperor Jingming left, Ye Ying took Shen Lian to Chengyi Hall.

When passing by the dark palace corridor, Shen Lian subconsciously grabbed Ye Ying's robe. Ye Ying held the lamp and turned to look at her: "Is there anything else you need to explain?"

She raised her hand to gesture, and finally used her hand as a knife to cross her neck. Ye Ying miraculously understood what Shen Lian meant.

She wanted to ask Ye Ying why Wang didn't kill the Zhou family. Since the Xie family was Wang's biggest rival, he wanted to use the Zhou family as a threat to force the Xie family.

Ye Ying is the only one who knows what Emperor Jingming is thinking.

He turned around and patiently explained to Shen Lian, "Whether Zhou is alive or not is not something you or I can control. It depends on fate."

Because soon, both Zhou and Shen Lian will die there.

Emperor Jingming asked her to take the Zhou family away from the secret passage in Chengyi Hall, not because he really wanted the Zhou family to leave the secret passage, but to arrange it for Xie Yujin and Shen Wan.

There is no way out in this game, there is no other way to choose, they have to enter.

Ye Ying turned around and said: "It's getting late, let's go quickly."

The night road was long and the lights were dim. For Shen Lian, this road was dark and cold.

Chengyi Hall is a palace in the East Palace. In the past, the East Palace was brightly lit, the masonry and jade tiles were dust-free, and the maids and eunuchs were busy.

Now, in just half a month, the East Palace is as dark and cold as a cold palace.

Fallen leaves were covered with green bricks, and there was no light anywhere. Only a ghost-like roar could be heard from Jiuhuaxuan.

Shen Lian was startled, hugged her body tightly, and made a sound of "Uh-huh" from her mouth.

Ye Ying looked back at her: "What are you afraid of? Our new emperor is kind and ordered people to move the deposed emperor from Qianzheng Palace back to Jiuhuaxuan."

Deposed emperor?

Mo Junli!

When Shen Lian heard this, her hands surrounding her body gradually dropped.

She turned her head and looked in the direction of Jiuhuaxuan.

In fact, besides darkness, there is still darkness ahead. Even Jiuhuaxuan has no light at all.

Shen Lian's heart was filled with sourness and pain, and it was like a saw in her heart was pulling at her flesh and blood.

It made her feel mixed emotions.

At this time, a voice came to her ear: "Let me go, where are you taking me?"

Shen Lian came to her senses.

Zhou was escorted to Chengyi Hall by two chamberlains.

Shen Lian looked at Zhou.

When Mrs. Zhou looked at her, she was shocked. She pushed away the waiter behind her and recognized Shen Lian at a glance: "Shen Lian."

Shen Lian gave her a cold look.

Zhou was summoned to the palace by the Queen Mother early in the morning, and then stayed in Cihui Palace on the grounds of being accompanied by the Queen Mother. Late at night, she was pulled out of bed again and brought back here.

In fact, she had known for a long time that there was something wrong inside the palace and that everyone was abnormal.

Ye Ying said to Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhenguo, please leave quickly. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave if it's too late."

"What do you mean? You..." Zhou didn't know who to believe now.

Ye Ying said: "I am the imperial guard beside the new emperor. The Liu clan wants to use his wife to force Duke Zhen Guo and Young Master Xie to hand over their military power. The emperor said that Duke Zhen Guo and Young Master Xie have made meritorious service in Jinzhou and should not be raped. Persecution, he didn’t want to see another Jiang family army again, so he ordered me to send my wife away through the secret passage of the palace.”

is that so? ——But the Queen Mother told her something else.

The Queen Mother told her that she was ordered to enter the palace today for the good of her husband and son.

The Xie family has great achievements, and the old master has long regarded the Xie family as a thorn in his side. Now that the new emperor has come to power, he will definitely not be able to tolerate him.

As long as she stays in Cihui Palace and doesn't step out of Cihui Palace, the new emperor can't do anything to her.

She must remember that no matter who told her or told her to go anywhere, she could not leave the Queen Mother's Palace.

Now someone told her that the Liu family wanted to persecute the Xie family and asked her to leave the palace quickly. Who should she listen to?

Zhou glanced sharply at Ye Ying and asked: "You said that the emperor didn't want my Xie family to be persecuted by traitors, then why didn't he directly order the Xie family army back, or directly order me to leave the palace, and then release the military power, allow The Xie family guards entered the inner courtyard to protect me. Why did they leave here secretly in the middle of the night? My Xie family has done nothing wrong and has a high reputation in the court. Recently, I heard that the ministers of the court proposed to the new emperor to grant a title My husband, Xie Ling, is the king, and the emperor trusts me, Xie, so much that he can formulate an imperial edict to make him king, so that the Liu family’s traitors can recognize the reality.”

Since we don't want to see Xie Jiajun become another Jiang Jiajun, we should take this opportunity to support the old ministers when he first ascends the throne, quickly stabilize the hearts of the court ministers, let the people see the new emperor's ability to control people, and also let the bottom strive to win over the common people. The new emperor of the new dynasty is full of confidence, displays his ambitions, and serves the country.

Zhou's question made Ye Ying quite impatient, and he didn't want to talk nonsense to Zhou anymore: "Have you heard a sentence?"

Zhou sneered and saw something was wrong with the person in front of her: "The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch and will never leave anyone alive until the fifth watch. Do I have to take this path tonight?"

"As long as you know, go in." Ye Ying stretched out his hand to push open the palace door and ordered coldly.

Zhou knew that struggling was useless, she was alone, let alone resisting, she was afraid that someone would wipe her neck before she made a move, and this road would be a dead end.

Before entering Chengyi Hall, he looked deeply at Shen Lian and said to her, "Do you know what path you are taking?"

What way? ——Shen Lian widened her eyes, looked back at Ye Ying, and found that Ye Ying's face was filled with murderous intent...

King Jin wants to kill her! !

No.

She won't leave, she wants to go back to find King Jin.

Shen Lian, who was usually the most obedient, suddenly became frightened.

She took a few steps back.

Upon seeing this, Ye Ying directly grabbed Shen Lian's hair and dragged her into Chengyi Hall.

Shen Lian refused and kept struggling and fighting Ye Ying, but she had not eaten for several days and was as skinny as a stick. She was no match for Ye Ying who was covered in armor.

In Ye Ying's view, her struggle was nothing more than an ant fighting an elephant, overestimating one's own abilities.

"Woo...Woo..." She didn't want to go to the secret passage, she wanted to see Prince Jin.

His Highness the King of Jin, His Highness the King of Jin...

"Let's go." The chamberlain behind ordered Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou raised her feet and stepped across the threshold of the palace door. She looked back at the dark night sky, feeling that she still had a lot of nostalgia and reluctance for the world.

She has not yet said a proper farewell to her lover.

He has not properly explained his funeral affairs to A Ci.

Life is always so imperfect.

fine……

Before entering the palace, he left suicide notes for them all, which was not too regrettable.

Zhou withdrew his gaze, and as soon as he walked into Chengyi Palace, a group of people rushed in from outside the East Palace.

Ye Ying and the two chamberlains heard the movement behind them and quickly looked behind them.

A group of ministers and Yulin troops rushed into the East Palace and quickly surrounded Chengyi Palace.

"Stop." The people who led the troops into the East Palace were Gu Yuzhou and Shen Xunzhi, the eldest sons of Gu.

There was a group of ministers behind them.

For his own grand plan, Emperor Jingming, after he ascended the throne, used political matters as an excuse to keep all the ministers in the political hall and wait for the consequences!

Of course, the rabbit he was guarding was Xie Jiajun.

If he ascends the throne, the Xie family will rebel. Keeping the ministers in the palace is the best hostage.

Who knew that tonight, he would actually shoot himself in the foot.

"Someone in the palace came to report that there was a traitor who wanted to kill the Duke of Zhenguo's wife and fled the palace with the demon queen. It turned out to be you, a thief. It is unreasonable for my new emperor to use you so highly. Someone, come and capture Ye Ying and report to the emperor. Ye Ying defected!"
