The first male queen [crossing]

The morning sun is slightly dew, the mist dissipates, and the sky is gradually brightened by the rays of light that shine clear and clear between the sky and the earth.

The street that entered the palace was empty and deserted, and the sound of galloping horses also echoed in the street because of the early morning, clear and long.

The palace gate was majestic and solemn, and the guards guarding the palace gate, as usual, registered in front of the palace gate and took off the swords of the generals entering the palace.

"It's really hard work for His Highness the Second Highness and the Dukes to enter the palace so early." The officials guarding the city bowed to Xiao Yuan and said with a smile on their faces.

Xiao Yuan said: "Originally, I wanted to go back to Lanling, but I didn't expect the emperor to return with an imperial edict. I came back late last night, so I came to pay my respects to the emperor early this morning. Last night, the princes of the state also received the imperial edict to let them enter the palace early in the morning." palace."

The officials guarding the city smiled, and then saw the heavy palace gate slowly open, the Minghua Gate was in front of it, and only after passing through the Minghua Gate could one enter the palace.

Xiao Yuan glanced at the city guard officer who saluted him farewell, and then walked into the palace with Yan Huai and the others.

Unexpectedly, they had just passed through the palace gate and reached the center when they heard the heavy sound of the city gate behind them. Wu Yaoqin hurriedly turned around, but saw that the palace gate was closed, even the Minghua Gate was tightly closed at this moment.

"Your Highness." Yu Shiyao called out in panic, and quickly stepped forward, protecting Xiao Yuan behind him.

Yan Huai, Xu Yanqing and the others also protected Xiao Yuan, so that he should not be the first to be in danger.

Suddenly, in front of the building of Minghuamen, Prince Xiao Yan led a group of imperial guards to stand around the wall, holding bows and arrows tightly in his hands, facing Xiao Yuan and his group standing downstairs of Minghuamen, and standing behind Xiao Yan The only one is Xiao Jue who has been demoted to the rank of a commoner.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Ah Yuan, long time no see, what do you want to say when you come to see Father so early?"

Xiao Yuan raised his head and looked at the complacent Xiao Yan, with a solemn expression: "Xiao Yan, you are here to ambush, and the emperor will never forgive you if you know about it."

Xiao Yan laughed very loudly and wildly, and he said: "So what, then you will have returned to the underworld, and what happens to the father is not up to him. Xiao Yuan, you can only blame yourself for being ambitious and getting the will Then come back to Chang'an, if you go back to Lanling directly, what disaster will happen to you today?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Jue: "Even you are here?"

Xiao Jue said with a smile: "Thanks to the good means of the second brother, there is no reason not to come to send the second brother off today."

Seeing his despicable appearance, Xiao Yuan suddenly asked seriously: "Ah Jue, for so many years, I have always wanted to ask you how Ayu died."

Xiao Jue nodded and thought for a while, then tentatively glanced at Xiao Yan beside him, and then said: "Anyway, you are going to accompany that trash, so it's okay for me to tell you, Ayu, he was naturally drowned by my own hands , who told him to help Gu Junci that outsider! He deserves it! Gu Junci died as soon as he died, who told him to be brave enough to grab the medicine, so I knocked him unconscious with a stone while he didn't have a backup, and pressed him in the pond .”

Xiao Yuan stared at him calmly. He should have been furious, but he was not angry at this moment, and just looked at him calmly.

Very well, Xiao Jue admitted his crime in front of everyone, so there is nothing to soften his heart.

Xiao Yan glanced sideways at Xiao Jue beside him, and now he understands why Xiao Jue was so calm when he proposed poisoning Xiao Yuan before the Young Highness's Mid-Moon Banquet. First time doing it.

Now listening to him talking about the process of killing without any waves, he only felt that this man was more cruel than himself.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yuan and the others downstairs, and quickly ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army who received the order fired their arrows together, and the rain of arrows flew towards Xiao Yuan and his group.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yu Shiyao and Yan Huai immediately took off their robes and waved them high, fending off the incoming arrows, protecting Xiao Yuan and the others to retreat step by step.

Xiao Yuan, who was protected by Yu Shiyao and the others, looked stern, and untied the fireworks from his waist, and saw the red fireball flying to the sky, exploding a flower, and then, the tower of Minghua Gate stopped Shooting arrows, and then there were bursts of fighting sounds.

Xiao Jue and Xiao Yan turned their heads in panic, only to see Gu Junci in black clothes. He looked terrified, and when he looked at Xiao Jue, he clenched the Bai Ze sword in his hand. Behind him, he rushed down from the tower. The soldiers of the Forbidden Army who came up had taken down all Xiao Yan's men.

Xiao Yan looked at Gu Junci, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered: "Gu Junci! Why...why are you here."

Gu Junci drew an evil smile on his lips, and he said: "The prince said, where should I be?"

"Don't come here! I'm still the crown prince after all! If you take another step forward, don't blame me for taking your life." Xiao Yan said angrily.

Gu Junci didn't take it seriously: "Okay, I don't have to kill you, but Xiao Jue will surely die today."

Xiao Jue was terrified, and quickly grabbed Xiao Yan's arm and said: "Big brother, big brother, I am all for you, big brother, save me." Xiao Yan glanced at him sideways, and suddenly, he grabbed him. Xiao Jue pushed his arm towards Gu Junci to block Gu Junci's pursuit, turned around and ran down the tower.

And Xiao Yuan, who was under the palace gate, took off the pistol from his waist, pointed it at the fleeing Xiao Yan, let go, and shot the arrow on the crossbow, hitting Xiao Yan's head.

Before he had time to react, the panic and happiness in his eyes were condensed in his eyes. He stood there in a daze, and wanted to turn around, but he couldn't do so after all. After falling down, he rolled down the steps of the tower.

Xiao Jue looked at the situation in front of him, and then at Gu Junci with killing intent in front of him, he knelt down in front of Gu Junci, and kowtowed:

"Gu Junci... no... Lord Protector, Lord Protector, I am Ayu's third elder brother, he treats you so well, you can't kill me, you can't kill me, the prince is dead now, I can testify, The testimony is that the prince intends to kill the second brother, he planned and arranged it, and he wants to kill the second brother, I can tell my father, please, please don't kill me."

"Then did you let Ayu go?" Gu Junci said, "He is your younger brother, and also my younger brother. When you killed him, did you ever think that you were his third brother?"

Xiao Jue kowtowed repeatedly to beg for mercy, but he didn't want to freeze his humble begging eyes when he kowtowed and raised his head. The tip of Bai Zejian was still dripping with blood, and Xiao Jue's clothes were already soaked by the hot blood spurting from his neck.

He fell heavily in front of Gu Junci, and Gu Junci's eyes turned red when he saw it.

For this sword, he waited a full eight years.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. In order to kill the person who tortured Xiao Yu justifiably, every time Gu Junci sees him, he suppresses the anger in his heart.

Now that it's all over, he can take revenge for Ayu with his own hands.

The Minghua Gate was surrounded by the Forbidden Army who came later, and the rioters brought by Xiao Yan had already been captured by Gu Junci's men. At this time, the Minghua Gate was already under Xiao Yuan's control.

Gu Jun resigned from the tower, looking at Xiao Yan who was lying down on the steps with a silent expression, recalling the appearance of Qingxuan when he was killed by an arrow, the tears that he had held back for a long time now all fell down.

The gate of Minghuamen has been opened, and Xiao Yuan and the others still came over under the escort of the commander of the imperial army. When they saw Xiao Yan's body, Xiao Yuan quickly took a step forward and hugged Gu Junci into his arms:

"It's all over."

"Finally I have my revenge, I... I have avenged Ayu, and I have also avenged Qingxuan." Gu Junci said in Xiao Yuan's ear.

Xiao Yuan responded softly, and then said: "You rest first, General Yu and I will go to the palace to meet my father first, here, leave it to General Yan and the others to clean up."

Gu Junci wiped away his tears: "I'll go with you too, I'm worried about the two of you."

Xiao Yuan thought about it for a while, then nodded solemnly, took the forbidden army with him, together with Gu Junci and Yu Shiyao, they headed towards the Ganlu Hall where Xiao Boxu lived at the moment.

Hearing the fighting outside the Minghua gate, Xiao Boxu, who received the news, was already fully dressed and left the palace gate, but unexpectedly saw Xiao Yuan and his party leading soldiers coming, Xiao Boxu stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yuan's arm, Busy to ask:

"Ah Yuan, what happened!"

Xiao Yuan stared at him, did not answer directly, but said: "The dew is heavy in the morning, help Your Majesty go back to the Palace of Manna."

The servants still looked at each other, while Yu Shiyao and Gu Junci stepped forward, bowed to Xiao Boxu, and then helped him back to the Ganlu Palace.

"What happened!" As soon as he returned to the atrium, Xiao Boxu broke free and glared at Xiao Yuan, "What are you bringing your troops here for? Xiao Yuan, what do you want to do!"

Xiao Yuan stared sideways at the servants serving in the Palace of Ganlu, and then said: "Prince Xiao Yan occupies the Minghua Gate, and intends to murder the emperor to usurp power and seize the throne, and the son is here to rescue him!"

Xiao Boxu couldn't believe it: "Conspiracy? What about others! Bring Xiao Yan to me!"

"He has been killed by the minister." Gu Junci said quietly, Xiao Boxu was furious immediately, and pushed Gu Junci away:

"You are so brave, you dare to kill the prince, what should you do!"

"Your Majesty, it was the crown prince who conspired against him. He is a guilty minister. The Lord Protector deserves a reward for his meritorious service in rescuing him. How can he still be convicted?" Yu Shiyao also said hastily.

Xiao Boxu took a few steps back and stared straight at the group of people in front of him. In addition to anger, there was disbelief in his eyes. He pointed at Xiao Yuan for a while, unable to speak, then pointed at Gu Junci and Yu Shiyao, and then said:

"It's...it's you, it's you who conspired to seize the throne, Xiao Yuan! Aren't you afraid of lightning strikes!"

Xiao Yuan looked calm, unmoved in the slightest, the silence in his eyes was resignation, even more disappointment.

They used to be close father and son, but because of the father's eccentricity and the sudden acquisition of supreme power, the affection between father and son disappeared, and there was no longer any affection between father and son.

Xiao Yuandao: "The crown prince murdered me. This is a fact that everyone can testify to. However, my father will definitely not believe it. In my father's heart, my eldest brother is always more important than me. Even my mother's death can be easily exposed. "Father, didn't you cause everything today? If you hadn't been biased, if you had more trust in me, if you hadn't had so much suspicion, if you had been fair to my mother's death, there would have been no Today's disaster."

"Then what do you want me to do? Announce to the world that the crown prince seduced the concubine and poisoned your mother!" Xiao Boxu said angrily.

All of a sudden, the entire Ganlu Palace was completely silent, extremely quiet.

Xiao Boxu said: "Your mother never revealed the truth until her death, don't you understand her intentions?"

"Of course I understand my mother's intentions, so I am willing to be confined in the palace by your father, but what about the crown prince! He is not worthy of being in the East Palace for a single crime of killing his mother!" Xiao Yuan's originally calm expression was finally referring to the empress. gradually collapsed.

"In Royal Father's heart, isn't your mother's death worthy of your anger for her?"
