The whole world thinks that I am trying to usurp the throne

In the prison cell of Dali Temple, there were only a few candles lingering on, therefore, the places Xiao Yuebai passed by were all in darkness, the lantern in his hand was emitting white light, and some of this white light hit his cheeks, making him The fair cheeks became whiter, extremely white, almost transparent, and lost popularity for a while, but gave birth to a ghostly aura.

Xiao Yuebai unhurriedly broke through the darkness and walked to the depths of the cell. The cell here was specially built for the death row inmates, so there was no skylight, and each cell seemed to be filled with a large cloud of black mist. It was not visible at all, only one of these cells was holding prisoners, and the rest were all vacant.

The prisoners in the cell heard Xiao Yuebai's footsteps and made some movements, even mixed with a woman's unfinished scream.

Xiao Yuebai shined a light on the lantern made of white paper, and said with a soft smile, "Do any of you want to confess?"

Everyone was silent, no one answered.

"In that case..." Xiao Yuebai murmured, "Master Han, why don't you talk about it first."

The elder Han who was named was Han Guifei's biological father, Han Shi's grandfather, and Yan Xun's maternal grandfather. He was called Han Zhiqing, and his name was Zhiqing, but he was not a clean and honest official at all. , the highest rank is no more than the fourth rank, but relying on the favor of Concubine Han Gui, he is doing the business of buying and selling official positions. Afterwards, even though his evil deeds are exposed, he is only stripped of his official position and demoted to a commoner.

Hearing Xiao Yuebai's words, Han Zhiqing shuddered all over, pretending to be stupid and said: "I don't know what Lord Xiao wants me to recruit."

Xiao Yuebai smiled and said: "Han Shiming is stubborn, I just whipped him a hundred lashes with my own hands, accidentally, I hit him a little harder, unexpectedly, after a hundred lashes, his life has already died..."

Before Xiao Yuebai could finish speaking, Han Shisheng's mother's low sobs interrupted him.

Xiao Yuebai glanced at the weeping woman, then stared at Han Zhiqing closely, her peach blossom eyes were clouded with blood, and then said: "Master Han, don't be so stubborn."

Because Xiao Yuebai was beautiful and looked extremely weak, Han Zhiqing used to despise him, but now that he was staring at him, Han Zhiqing felt a burst of cold air continuously coming out from the cracks in his bones, and it spread all over in the blink of an eye. whole body.

Xiao Yuebai stared at Han Zhiqing for a moment, then looked at Han Qin and said, "Master Han, your father doesn't want to talk to me, so you can tell me?"

Han Qin shook his head and said, "Xiao Min doesn't know what Lord Xiao wants Xiao Min to say."

"So you don't know?" Xiao Yuebai said in embarrassment, "Isn't it just a waste of time for me to keep you here?"

Hearing the words, Han Qin was surprised and delighted, thinking that Xiao Yuebai was going to let him go, stood up, rushed towards the prison door impatiently, snapped his fingers, but he heard Xiao Yuebai say: "Master Han, you are not as good as me!" Let me send you to accompany Second Young Master Han, and Second Young Master Han and I can be regarded as colleagues, I really can't bear him to be alone on the road to Huangquan."

Xiao Yuebai's words made Han Qin's legs go limp immediately, and he was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, a concubine Ji helped him up in time, so that Han Qin would not lose face.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuebai chuckled lightly, tapped the wall with his fingertips rhythmically, and stopped asking questions.

The crisp sound of hitting the wall with fingertips echoed in the dark and cramped cell, and entered the ears of everyone in the Han family neatly. It seemed that Xiao Yuebai was not hitting the wall, but hitting them Like a blood-red heart, the direct blow made their hearts beat out of order, their spirits were tense, and their limbs were cold.

After about a cup of tea, the grinding sound finally stopped.

Xiao Yuebai didn't want to waste any more time with them, and asked directly: "Where is the fire/powder hidden in the palace? Who is the person who ignited it?"

Xiao Yuebai had found out that the Han family had smuggled some fire/powder into the palace, but couldn't find out the exact location of the fire/powder for a while, and then sent all the Han family to prison.

After some beatings by him, he concluded that Han Shi should not know the inside story, so he ordered someone to disclose to Yan Xun that Han Shi had left Dali Temple, and used this to belittle Yan Xun, and then ordered Lu Zizhao to marry Han Shi and Yan Xun. Xun sent them back to the palace together.

Unavoidably, he made a mistake in his judgment, so he ordered another person to monitor the movements of Yan Xun and Han Shi.

The reason why Yan Xun and Han Shi were sent to Guiyuxuan instead of Qiyun Palace was because he suspected that the fire/powder was hidden in Qiyun Palace. It's important, if the fire/powder is in the Qiyun Palace, if it can kill him and Yan Xun in one fell swoop, the Han family can replace them and change the dynasty. Even if the fire/powder is not in the Qiyun Palace, Guiyuxuan is far away from other palaces It should be the safest place in the palace.

Yan Xun...

Xiao Yue Baisi and Yan Xun's whole heart softened, as if it was about to turn into a feather, and floated to Gui Yuxuan by the night wind, and the precious weight touched Yan Xun's bright red lips.

Xiao Yuebai put away her thoughts and looked at the members of the Han family carefully.

Therefore, only one lantern illuminated the ground, and the faces of the members of the Han family were not very clear, but their body movements could not be deceived.

Xiao Yuebai said in her heart: It seems that only Han Zhiqing and Han Qin know the location of fire/powder.

He clapped his hands together and called out, "Zizhao."

"Young master." Lu Zizhao responded, and came in with something.

When Lu Zizhao walked to the side, Xiao Yuebai pointed to the thing that Lu Zizhao had mentioned, and said indifferently: "Zizhao, raise her head up, let Mr. Han and Mr. Han take a closer look."

Lu Zizhao got the order, grabbed the unconscious woman's jaw and forced her to the fence of the cell, so that the people inside could watch carefully.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the woman's face clearly.

Han Qin slapped the ground and said angrily: "Xiao Yuebai, you are bullying me and committing the felony of beheading!"

But it turned out that this woman was last year's Concubine Han, and now Empress Dowager Han, the biological mother of His Majesty Yan Xun!The most noble woman in the world.Right now, she is being carried by Lu Zizhao like a useless cargo.

Xiao Yuebai smiled and said: "Did Young Master Han know that I am a bully? Why are you so angry? You must not forget that tomorrow even His Majesty will marry me."

When the voice fell to the ground, Xiao Yuebai said coldly: "Master Han, where are the fire/powder hidden by Mr. Han? Who is the person who ignited it?"

Xiao Yuebai was still smiling for a moment, with a gentle and deceitful appearance, but the smile was completely suppressed in the next moment, and his voice was like icicles, it was really frightening.

Han Qin was so frightened that she was about to confess, but Han Zhiqing suddenly tore off her sleeves, and then barely swallowed the confession that rose to her throat.

Xiao Yuebai walked around the crowd, and at the end, his eyes fell on Han Qin's face, and he said: "Young Master Han, I know you know the current affairs, why don't you let me talk about it."

Han Qin didn't answer, and Xiao Yuebai didn't rush. After a long time, Xiao Yuebai walked away, took two steps, and said disgustedly: "These people are really an eyesore, Zizhao, kill them all, use some Unusual method, don't let them die too happily."

Lu Zizhao agreed, pointed at Han Qin and said, "My lord, how about I dismember this young master Han?"

Xiao Yuebai had already walked ten steps, and said impatiently: "It's up to you."

Han Qin was so frightened that his face paled, his genitals became hot, and urine overflowed. He pinched the rusty fence with both hands, and said repeatedly: "I'll trick, I'll trick, the fire/powder is hidden in Qiyun Under the Qiyun Pool in front of the palace! The person who ignited the fire is the Queen of the Palace of Qiyun."

The fire/powder is actually hidden under the Qiyun Pool, no wonder it can't be found everywhere.

Xiao Yuebai summoned Lu Zizhao, and whispered: "Take care of them, don't hurt their lives for the time being."

Xiao Yuebai went out of Dali Temple, rode straight to the palace, escorted Wang Shu, and called a servant who was very capable to go into the water for inspection.

After half a cup of tea, the waiter came ashore, dripping wet, and reported: "There is indeed a foreign object under the water, but due to the poor vision at night, I can't determine what it is."

Since the fire/powder is in the water, and Wang Shu who ignited the fire/powder has been detained, it should be fine for the time being, so just wait until dawn.

Xiao Yuebai glanced at the sky, and said to the servant: "Wait until dawn, you can go down and have a look."

Four hours later, the sky was bright, and the servant went into the water again. It was confirmed that eight out of ten of the thing was fire/powder. Xiao Yuebai ordered the servant to bring the fire/powder up, and the servant went down for the third time. The water went away, and after a while, I carefully carried the gunpowder to the shore and placed it on the ground.

Xiao Yuebai peeled off the waterproof oil paper with her own hands until she reached the No.15th layer, and then the slightly pungent smell of fire/powder spread out, and after peeling off another five layers, the smell of fire/powder became stronger.

Xiao Yuebai ordered someone to bring Wang Shu, and soon, Wang Shu was brought in front of him, he glanced at Wang Shu, and said: "When does the Han family want you to light this fire/drug?"

As soon as Wang Shu saw the fire/powder, she knew that the matter had been revealed, and she definitely couldn't survive, she was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground.

Xiao Yuebai asked again: "When does the Han family want you to light this fire/drug?"

Not only did Wang Shu not answer, but blood dripped from the corner of Wang Shu's lips, and the blood beads hit the ground, making a "tick-tick-tick" sound.

A waiter said in shock: "My lord, Wang Shu killed herself by biting her tongue."

Xiao Yuebai waved his hands and said: "Bury it, and then deal with the fire/medicine."

Now that the fire/powder has been found, the big stone in his heart has fallen. As for how to deal with the members of the Han family, it is up to Yan Xun to decide. After all, the Han family is Yan Xun's mother's family.

As he walked, he thought joyfully: I have to try my wedding robe to see if it fits, and if it doesn't fit, I should change it sooner.

All of a sudden, an arrow flew from a distance, and the tip of the arrow held flames, and it was directly embedded in the fuse of the fire/powder.

Everyone was caught off guard, and no one stopped them. The gunpowder exploded instantly, and the light emitted was a bit brighter than the scorching sun in the sky.

Before losing consciousness, Xiao Yuebai murmured: "Why don't you go and see Ah Xun first, I wonder if Ah Xun can have breakfast?"

In that room, Yan Xun saw the fiery red wedding dress in Lu Zizhao's arms, turned his head and said, "Put it aside first."

Lu Zizhao insisted: "Try it, Your Majesty, lest it doesn't fit."

It doesn't matter if it doesn't fit, it is a humiliation for him to control this wedding.

Yan Xun ignored Lu Zizhao and sat back in front of Han Shi's bed.

He barely sat down, but a female voice shouted outside: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The female voice sounded quite familiar, like someone serving her mother, so Yan Xun stood up immediately, and opened the door regardless of Lu Zizhao's obstruction.

As soon as the door was opened, it was indeed a familiar palace maid who caught her eyes. The palace maid was stopped by the guards, she couldn't get close to Yan Xun's body, so she knelt down on the spot and cried: "Last night, Prime Minister Xiao ordered the Queen Mother to be taken away... We are by the Queen Mother's side. The servants were also guarded, and the servants escaped with great difficulty."

Yan Xun was startled, turned his head and asked Lu Zizhao: "Why did Xiao Yuebai take away his mother?"

At this time, the court lady saw Lu Zizhao's face clearly through her teary eyes, and she pointed out: "It's him, he's the one who took away the Queen Mother!"

Last night, Lu Zizhao took his mother away after leaving Gui Yuxuan!I don't know if my mother is well now, Yan Xun's hatred towards Xiao Yuebai involuntarily intensifies.

Just as Lu Zizhao was about to speak, there was a loud noise in his ear. Looking far away, there was thick smoke billowing in the distance, covering the sky and the sun.

With a bad heart, he performed lightness kung fu and quickly went to the place where the thick smoke came out.

Yan Xun stood on the spot and said to the guard: "Both of you go to see what's going on there, and the other will pass on your legend."

Before the two guards responded, one of the servants rushed towards Yan Xun. After a while, he stood in front of Yan Xun and gasped, "The Palace of Qiyun exploded, and Prime Minister Xiao is still there." inside..."

Yan Xun interrupted: "Is he still alive?"

The servant replied in a respectful voice: "The Hall of Qiyun is on fire, you can't get close to it, Xiang Xiang is afraid that it will be more or less ominous."

"That's really great." After Yan Xun said, he turned and went back to the room. When he stepped into the room, the fiery red wedding dress stuck into his eyes. It was originally Xiao Yuebai who forced him to marry tomorrow. It was also his 17th birthday, but today suddenly became Xiao Yuebai's memorial day.

He walked slowly to Han Shi's bed and sat down, staring blankly at Han Shi who was still unconscious. After a long time, he covered his chest and said, "It's okay, my heart hurts for some reason."
