Su Miao: !!! Cool!!

I have tolerated her for a long time!

He looked at Lu Jiuzhou calmly, thinking that Lu Jiuzhou now knew his true face.

No one will love him anymore after knowing his true face.

Lu Jiuzhou opened his mouth, obviously not expecting that Su Miao would suddenly kill the Queen Mother.

He was not a fool, so of course he could feel that Su Miao was different from before.

Lu Jiuzhou suddenly took a few steps forward. Su Miao's hand holding the knife unconsciously became thinner, and conspiracy theories began to arise in his mind again.

When he sees my true face, will he get so angry that he kills me?

Lu Jiuzhou just held his hand carefully and pressed the tendon of Su Miao's hand, and he felt a pain in his hand.

The dagger was released by Su Miao and fell into Lu Jiuzhou's hand. He rubbed Su Miao's wrist, and Su Miao only felt a tingling pain there.

"Not only will you not be able to kill people if you hold a dagger like this, you will also get hurt by the opponent."

"The Queen Mother is a weak person. If you throw it to a martial artist, he will be able to snatch your dagger away in an instant."

Su Miao pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to look at the blood on the ruby.

There was not only the blood of the Queen Mother, but also the blood of Helian Chuan, who was known as the King of Mobei.

What about Helian Chuan? Why didn't he snatch the dagger?

As if he knew what Su Miao wanted to ask, Lu Jiuzhou showed a bright and pure smile.

"Everyone has a dark side, so why worry about it?"

He scratched his head and said, "Of course I have some too, Miaomiao, don't be scared."

Su Miao's brows twitched slightly, and he thought to himself that Lu Jiuzhou was really a fool.

Lu Jiuzhou lives a rich and happy life. He has no idea what a person like him can do to climb up the social ladder. He still has illusions about him and thinks he is forced to do so.

He thought sneerfully in his heart, if Lu Jiuzhou knew how vicious I was, he would definitely feel that he had trusted the wrong person.

Su Miao would not believe that someone would still love him after knowing how vicious, cruel and petty he was.

But he is still useful now, the Regent must not be dead, and Su Miao is not stupid enough to think that the Regent will let him go.

The only option now is to work together with Lu Jiuzhou.

Lu Jiuzhou took Su Miao and fled out of the palace. In just a quarter of an hour, the entire palace was occupied by the rebels.

They were fighting in the name of clearing the court of evil officials, so they were determined to catch the Nine Thousand Year Old Man who was committing crimes and persecuting loyal officials.

Several teams of iron pagodas blocked the palace gate, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Even after the rebels were eliminated, no one could leave the palace.

At first, the officials thought that the regent was here to suppress the rebels, but after the complacent rebels were all killed by the Iron Pagoda, the palace gates were still not opened.

It seemed as if something major had happened inside, and the courtiers still in the palace could only accept repeated questioning by the regent's men.

The Regent made such a big fuss, it seemed as if he was looking for someone.

The emperor is dead, and most of the ministers will not be loyal to a traitor like him.

Now Helian Chuan does not kill the chicken to scare the monkey and force the ministers to establish the orthodox status, but is still looking for someone. Could it be that he is waiting for the princes in various places to become dissatisfied and raise troops to support the king?

The only explanation is that the Regent is not in a position to show up right now, and the person he is looking for is extremely important to him.

When the news left the palace, the Xiao family, whose doors and windows were locked and guarded everywhere by servants, were discussing the matter.

Xiao Ziming thought that perhaps the person the Regent had found had taken the imperial seal, while the Imperial Censor Xiong Liangping thought that the Regent might have been injured.

No matter what, the Regent is a rebel, and the loyal followers of the Xiao family will never go along with him.

When the regent's decree to appoint Left Prime Minister Xiao Yaoguang as chief minister was passed on to the Xiao Mansion, everyone had different expressions, but they all thought that Xiao Yaoguang was just pretending to be nice to the regent.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yaoguang actually allied with the Regent and even visited several important officials several times to persuade them to surrender to the Regent!

Loyal ministers cursed him and scholars were also outraged, regarding Xiao Yaoguang as a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Su Miao's ears twitched slightly. After leaving the palace, he disguised himself and pretended to go out of the capital to find his relatives. However, all the gates of the capital were guarded by people, and they came to arrest people with a portrait every day.

It seems that Helian Chuan is not really dead. Su Miao lowered his eyes. If he was caught by him, he would really be dead.

As for the fact that Xiao Yaoguang became the Prime Minister, it was beyond Su Miao's expectations that a scholar-official like Xiao Yaoguang would actually collude with the Regent.

It turns out that he doesn't know Xiao Yaoguang...

Su Miao laughed at himself, just as Xiao Yaoguang didn't understand him, they had no feelings for each other at all, and if they met again in the future, they might only meet in battle.

Lu Jiuzhou looked out the window vigilantly. They must find a chance to go out in the next few days. Otherwise, Helian Chuan would search every house and find them sooner or later.

"Jiuzhou, the Jinyiwei has news that the Regent has summoned the nobles to the palace. Are you going too?"

Lu Jiuzhou nodded, his hawk-like eyes concealing deep fear.

Helian Chuan's subordinates came to each family's house to convey the emperor's order for them to enter the palace to discuss matters. Some sensitive family heads wanted to stay indoors.

But anyone who did so would be beheaded by Helian Chuan's Iron Pagoda as a protest.

He no longer cared about his own reputation, and even the top families with three generations of officials were treated like pigs and dogs.

Seeing that Helian Chuan showed the character of a tyrant before he even ascended the throne, his actions of promoting nobles and heads of aristocratic families became even more intriguing.

Lu Jiuzhou must go. On that day, the defenses at the city gate will be the least, and that will be the best opportunity for Su Miao to escape.

Lu Jiuzhou comforted him, "You go first. As long as you can leave the city smoothly, I will definitely find a chance to get out."

Su Miao grasped his sleeves tightly, curling her slender white fingers together.

Ever since they left the palace, Su Miao had been wearing only plain linen clothes, which made her look even paler and thinner.

He seemed to be wearing mourning clothes for the late emperor, and looked as fragile and haggard as a widow who had just lost her husband.

Lu Jiuzhou dispelled this association unhappily, and his originally calm voice became extremely gentle.

Afraid of irritating Su Miao, Lu Jiuzhou had been so gentle these days that it was unlike himself. Little did he know that this made him seem more like a neighbor who had ulterior motives towards a widow after her husband died.

Now he is preparing to take the position of power by being gentle and kind while the widow is at her most vulnerable moment.

Lu Jiuzhou tried hard not to act like a pervert, but when Su Miao leaned softly on his shoulder, he couldn't help but think:

Perhaps it is best that the late emperor is no longer with us...

Su Miao would not be so tired, nor would he sacrifice himself wholeheartedly for the late emperor. This was contrary to his thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and also caused Lu Jiuzhou pain for a long time.

All these problems were solved because the late emperor was really gone.

This is the darkest side of Lu Jiuzhou. He is grief-stricken because of the death of the late emperor and the impending war in Dazhao, but he is also shamelessly delighted at the death of the late emperor in the dark night.

I am a despicable person, Lu Jiuzhou thought as he hugged Su Miao’s thin shoulders.
