The host of the quick-wear salted fish is the boss's favorite

"You really underestimated Chu Moyan~" he said in a surprised tone.

"Host, it's all because of you that these families have united to help Chu Mo Ran take the throne." Maomao said dissatisfiedly.

"If my guess is correct, Chu Moyan is trying to win over these people in the name of protecting me."

"Only he himself knows what he wants to do. This accident really makes us feel a little troublesome...ah~" There was a hint of coldness in the young man's understated tone.

He originally wanted to kill the male and female protagonists, then kill the emperor, and take the throne himself.

Now look what has happened to me.

Maomao felt a chill down her spine for no reason, and hurriedly spoke up for Chu Mo Ran, explaining, "Host, you have no conscience. He was almost beaten to death by the emperor for you, and now he's even trying to usurp the throne to protect you. You've turned a good male No. 3 into a villain boss. In the original plot, he could have been an idle prince."

"You actually want to kill him now."

The boy looked at the cat in silence and said with regret: "It's not me who wants to kill him, it's him who forces me to kill him."

"If he doesn't step down, how can I take over? Will I not be able to complete my mission?" the young man asked calmly.

Maomao was speechless for a moment, unable to refute.

He then argued: "You can get promoted, but why do you have to kill him? He is sincere to you."

The boy's forehead twitched, and he warned coldly: "Shut up, do you do the task or do I do the task?"

The cat was so scared that its hair trembled and it lay on the ground without saying a word.

The boy closed his eyes in annoyance, stopped thinking about these troublesome things, and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was almost dark.

He looked out the window. The sky was dark and it looked like it was going to rain.

The clouds were dark and oppressive.

The boy felt uncomfortable for some reason.

Maomao's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped in front of him: "Host, you're awake."

"Why? What good news is there?"

"Oh, I just want to report to you about the Regent's schedule today. The secret guards found out that it was Xiao Yan'er and Chu Yunche who conspired to make you take Chinese medicine."

"He actually destroyed the entire An Ning Palace to avenge you. What a manly man he is~"

"I also moved all of the original owner's dowry out without leaving a single cent behind and put it in the storeroom of the Prince Regent's Palace for you."

"There was not a single person left alive in the entire An Ning Palace. They died miserably. In the end, he ordered people to burn down the An Ning Palace."

"Your man is so cruel~" The cat said with relish. It felt relieved. These people wanted the original owner to die.

A hint of approval flashed across the boy's indifferent eyes.

This man really understood him. He was someone who could please him and get things done.

Most people are dead now, now it's the emperor's turn.

At this moment, a loud bell sound that resounded through the sky came from far away.

The dull and long sound of the bells echoed continuously throughout the entire Yong'an City.

One sound, two sounds, three sounds... eight sounds... until the ninth sound, it slowly stopped.

The entire Yong'an fell into deathly silence. All the people knelt on the ground with solemn expressions and heavy faces, bowing towards the direction of the imperial palace.

"The Dragon Bell of Sang! The emperor is dead." The young man curled his lips. The man was quite quick.

"Host, the emperor is dead, what should we do?" Maomao asked anxiously.

"It looks like the regent will probably go with the flow and let the current crown prince Chu Mo Ran become the emperor."

"So, this guy is a troublemaker."

"If he hadn't done these things, I could have just found a reason to cry and the throne would have been mine."

Now Chu Shiyu only felt a headache and lay helplessly on the bed.

Inside the palace, the emperor passed away, and the entire palace was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.

There were constant wailing sounds coming from the palace.

The palace maids, eunuchs, and concubines all had expressions of grief and heartbreak on their faces.

The emperor lay silently on the dragon bed, with important ministers kneeling around him.

The Regent stood aside condescendingly with a cold expression and made a gesture to the secret guards.

The secret guard took the order and opened the decree: "I and Imperial Noble Consort Xiao Liu'er will remain together through life and death. I hereby allow Xiao Liu'er to accompany me forever in the imperial mausoleum. I decree this."

Imperial Consort Xiao Liuer is the mother of the second prince and also the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

When she heard such an imperial decree, she was shocked and her face turned pale in an instant.

His eyes widened, tears welled up uncontrollably, and his body shook violently.

She couldn't accept this fact, her eyes went dark and she fainted.

Duke Xiao Lianfeng was instantly furious, staring at the arrogant Regent with red eyes.

He roared unwillingly: "Prince Regent, what hatred do you have with my mansion that you must force us to death!"

Xiao Lianfeng's voice was filled with grief and indignation, and his eyes revealed despair and indomitable spirit.

He knew that they had been forced into a desperate situation, and the Regent did not seem to intend to let them go.

The entire palace fell into deathly silence, with only Xiao Lianfeng's roar echoing in the palace.

"You are a violent and incompetent regent. You burned my youngest daughter and grandson to death, and killed my granddaughter. Now you are trying to pass on a false imperial decree to bury my eldest daughter with you!!!"

"Oh my God, how can there be someone as vicious as you? Why don't you send a thunderbolt to kill you?"

Little did they know that at this moment, a flash of lightning rumbled across the dark sky.

It actually went straight through the roof and struck down on the old duke's head unexpectedly.

In an instant, the old Duke was struck with lightning and black smoke came out of his body. He fell straight to the ground and died.

Everyone was so frightened that they forgot to cry.

Everyone opened their eyes wide in horror as they watched this strange and terrifying scene.

They were all secretly panicking in their hearts: This old Duke had done so many immoral things that even God would not let him off.

This Duke's Mansion is completely finished, almost everyone is dead, only the young master and his wife are left.

As thunder rumbled, bean-sized raindrops slowly fell.

In an instant, heavy rain fell outside the brightly lit palace.

At this time, the eunuch Xu beside the regent loudly announced: "The late emperor has been put into a coffin and will be sent to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow."

Then six Jinyiwei put the unconscious Concubine Xiao and the emperor's body into the coffin.

During the whole process, the princes, princesses and concubines cried loudly to show their awe!

The Regent narrowed his black eyes slightly and glanced coldly at Chu Moyan who was kneeling on the ground crying.

I really underestimated you!

-------

Regent's Palace.

The man braved the pouring rain and rushed back, exhausted and slightly damp.

He quickly took a hot bath to wash away the bad luck.

He changed into a dry, white, double-breasted, narrow-sleeved long gown. The drape of the clothes was excellent, making him look lazy and cool.

He returned to Chu Shiyu with anxious steps.

"Yu Yu, I'm back." The man quickly opened the door and called out with great affection.

Chu Shiyu thought that the palace was busy tonight and there was a thunderstorm outside, so the man would not come back.

Seeing him coming back, I felt happy for a while, but then I felt depressed. Is this man made of iron? ! !
