After the fall, the pleasure of settling accounts, beheading rebellious ministers, and revenge was followed by a deep sense of emptiness and loneliness. The originally busy body and mind became exhausted after all the dust settled on the imperial power.In the empty palace, in the lonely and cold heart, Ouyang Yuling suddenly felt desolate with no one to rely on. "Bai Yu, have you really left?"

Although they all moved out of the inn, Bai Yu would still leave messages of her concern at the inn every day before, but since that night, she had no news of Bai Yu.She couldn't wait, but her self-esteem was haunted, and she was stubborn and unwilling to take the initiative to find it, so her heart was tormented.

"Baiyu, tomorrow is my enthronement ceremony, do you know?" Tomorrow's enthronement ceremony is undoubtedly a very important moment in my life, but if Baiyu is not present at this moment... "Baiyu, are you really so cruel?"

The two people who were originally good, why did they become like this?Shouldn't it be like this?Ouyang Yuling, who was about to become emperor, lost the right to cry. The pain and unwillingness made her tremble all over.

The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is located at the innermost side of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is specially used to detain the royal family. Since the family of Wei Wang Ouyang Tingzhang was imprisoned last time, this prison has been vacant for nearly 20 years. Now he has imprisoned the once all-powerful King Jin family.Ouyang Tingyi, King of Jin, was imprisoned alone in Room [-] of Xuanzi. His wife, concubine, and children were locked in Room [-] and Room [-] respectively. They used to be at the top of power, but now they are imprisoned. This gap in power and status, The blow to Prince Jin's family was not small. Princess Jin Jiang Yarou learned that her father had been arrested and executed in prison. Knowing that everything was hopeless, she was disheartened and wanted to hang herself. She became demented, and Jin Wang's side concubine was already weak, and she was frightened when she was arrested and imprisoned, and the cell was dark and damp, so she fell ill shortly after entering the prison, and she was always in a daze, reversible No one would care about her physical condition.King Jin's two sons, Ouyang Dongtao and Ouyang Dongze, who had always been pampered, couldn't bear the life in the cell. They roared angrily for a while and begged for mercy, but no one paid any attention to them.

Compared with the panic of his wife and children, Ouyang Tingyi, king of Jin, seemed much calmer. He used to wear a royal robe and was eager to ascend the throne, but now he was shackled by iron chains, but he just leaned against the prison wall quietly, without saying a word for several days. hair.

But today, when Shen Lian, the servant of the Criminal Ministry, was inspecting the cell, the King of Jin stopped him, "Master Shen, I have something to say to the princess." No one would be willing to help him deliver the news. Ouyang Tingyi saw Shen Lian's thoughts, and slowly uttered two sentences, "It is related to the former emperor. After today, this king will not be able to say anything." , Your Excellency should think about it clearly."

Shen Lian was hesitant when he heard the words, the princess will be enthroned tomorrow, would she be willing to come to the prison and listen to the nonsense of the traitor?But Jin Wang, he mentioned the first emperor, not being able to accompany his father to the last moment is the pain in the hearts of the children. The princess should also want to know what the first emperor said before he died, right?Shen Lian thought carefully for a while, and decided to report this matter to Princess Yu Ling, so he left quickly.

Looking at Shen Lian's leaving figure, King Jin's eyes were cold, and he said leisurely: "I admit to being the king and the loser, but since I lost, I won't make it easier for you!"

Ouyang Yuling was still worried about her and Bai Yu's affairs, but after hearing Shen Lian's report, she suddenly found the root cause, the culprit of everything was Prince Jin in the prison.It was he who killed his father, so that he could not see his father in the end; it was his wolfish ambition that forced him to do those dark things; it was he who caused his pain, He caused a rift between Bai Yu and himself.

Ouyang Yuling's fists were clenched, "Did he say anything?"

"No, he just said that it was related to the late emperor, and he won't say it after today." Shen Lian reported cautiously, the fierceness of Ouyang Yuling's body made him terrified.

"Okay!" Ouyang Yuling shouted to the outside of the palace gate: "Come here, prepare the horse, I'm leaving the palace!"

Although Ouyang Yuling will hold the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, it is not suitable to go out now, but the servant did not dare to resist the majesty of the future empress, and immediately answered "Yes", and immediately ran out to inform people to prepare.

Cao Haiguang was appointed by Ouyang Yuling as the commander of the imperial guards because of his meritorious service and loyalty. At this moment, he heard that the princess was leaving the palace, so he immediately arranged a brigade of elite imperial guards to protect Ouyang Yuling when he left. However, Ouyang Yuling rushed out after only grabbing a horse, and the brigade of imperial guards was stopped by her. Cao Haiguang had no choice but to choose a few imperial guards to protect secretly.

Ouyang Yuling's red-clothed and white horse roared out, and the silver ornaments that symbolized the supreme status collided in the wind, making a tinkling sound.

The princess should be in a hurry to find someone, Cao Haiguang thought, but to his surprise, Ouyang Yuling went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The future empress, who was about to ascend the throne, approached the prison of the Ministry of Justice in a menacing manner, which really shocked all the officials in the prison. The jailer hurriedly led a group of guards, jailers, and knelt outside the prison door to greet her.

Ouyang Yuling jumped off the horse and casually threw the reins to Shen Lian who was accompanying him, "Where is King Jin?"

"In cell No. [-] in Xuanzi." Shen Lian replied, and hurriedly ran to Ouyang Yuling to lead the way.

After a period of cleansing, the once overcrowded Prison of the Ministry of Justice has become much deserted. Shen Lian bowed his body and led Ouyang Yuling to the Prison of Xuan Zihao tremblingly.

Ouyang Yuling slowly walked down the stone steps of the Xuanzi Prison, and with each step down, the anger in her heart became more intense. The Prince Jin who was imprisoned in the Xuanzi Prison was the person she hated the most.Her fists were clenched and her nails turned white. She stepped down the last stone step and walked towards the aisle where King Jin's family was imprisoned.

King Jin's wife and concubine had lost their vitality, and they were sitting numbly against the wall, while the two sons of King Jin saw Ouyang Yuling coming, as if they had caught a glimmer of life, they immediately cried and begged for mercy: "Yu Ling, please Let me go, I did not seek rebellion, I did not seek rebellion."

"Please, let me go, as long as you let me go, I can do anything!"

"Yu Ling, it's all my father's treason, it's none of our business, we are innocent!" Jin Wang's son Ouyang Dongtao cried, Ouyang Yuling walked in front of her, just sneered, Jin Wang knew He tried his best to get the throne, but his son was so promising.

"Yu Ling, please let me go, I don't want to die yet!" Ouyang Dongze also cried.

Death, who would want to die?Ouyang Yuling laughed for a while. She had never had a good impression of these two cousins ​​in Prince Jin's Mansion. They were extravagant and lustful, committing all sorts of crimes, and they were simply a shame to the royal family. It's just that the two of them did not pose a threat to Ouyang Yuling's road to imperial power. Ouyang Yuling hadn't been bothered to spend his mind on them in the past few years, but at the moment when he saw them, he was really disgusted, and said to Shen Lian: "You don't care about the dogs barking in prison, but I am annoyed by the noise."

"I'll be damned, I'll deal with it now." Shen Lian hurriedly confessed his guilt, and hurriedly winked at the Prisoner behind him. The Prisoner understood, brought a few guards with him, and opened the cell where Ouyang Dongtao and Ouyang Dongze were being held. Not long after, there was a howl of ghosts and wolves, and then there was no sound.

When Shen Lian heard nothing, his heart tightened. Seeing Prison Cheng coming out of the cell, he hurriedly asked, "Aren't they dead?" He knew very well that the future Empress didn't want them to die so soon.

"No, just passed out."

Shen Lian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and quickly walked a few steps to catch up with Ouyang Yuling.

In front of Xuanzi No. [-] cell, Ouyang Yuling retreated to the left and right, and walked into the person who made him gnash his teeth with hatred.

King Jin sat with his head up and his eyes closed. He opened his eyes slightly after hearing Ouyang Yuling walk to his cell, and said, "You are willing to come!"

"What did the late emperor say?"

"Niece of the emperor, don't worry, do you want to know what the late emperor was like before he died?" Jin Wang said, looking at Ouyang Yuling, seeing that her face was ashen, he smiled in his heart, no matter whether Ouyang Yuling was willing or not, he opened his mouth Said, "The first emperor was really miserable before he died! He had been the emperor for so many years, but at the last moment of his life, there was not even a servant around him. He couldn't move or talk, he couldn't drink when he was thirsty, and he couldn't drink when he was hungry. He is the most useless emperor I know."

"Boom!" Ouyang Yuling punched the prison door, his chest heaved and his breath was heavy.

"Why, the imperial niece doesn't want to hear it? It's not over yet." King Jin laughed a few times, and then said, "Physical pain is not counted. What's worse is his daily and nightly mental torture. Those who were persecuted to death by him At night, the dead soul would sneak into his dream and claim his life, just like this, 'Ouyang Tingjun, give me back my life, give me back my life!'" King Jin said, and also cooperated with imitating the ghost's death. The eyes moved, the eyes hooked, and he stretched out his hand to pinch Ouyang Yuling's neck. King Jin was so involved in his performance, Ouyang Yuling couldn't help but was scared and took a few steps back.

"Are you afraid? The imperial niece also has ghosts in her heart, right?"

"To shut up!"

"I just demonstrated that the emperor's niece is so scared, not to mention that old man Ouyang Tingjun who hangs down the curtain. Every night, countless dead souls are dying. How scared should he be?"

"To shut up!"

King Jin didn't take Ouyang Yuling's awe-inspiring commandment seriously, and he continued: "The imperial niece is very prestigious now, but where were you before Ouyang Tingjun died? This king still remembers the voice of the emperor's brother." , the heart-piercing call, 'Linger, Linger...' But Brother Huang is so pitiful, he couldn't call you back until he died."

"Shut up, shut up!" Ouyang Yuling roared angrily. Although she knew that King Jin intended to provoke her and provoke her, she still fell into the trick of King Jin. Every word in King Jin's mouth was like a knife. Ouyang Yuling's heart ached to the extreme, "Shut up, shut up, I'm going to kill you!"

"Hahaha, kill me? If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me a long time ago." King Jin got up and walked towards Ouyang Yuling, staring at her, as if he was afraid that she would see through, "You didn't kill me. You want to gain fame, and you don’t want to be accused of murdering your uncle. Even if I am guilty of treason, you don’t want people in the world to regard you as a violent person who kills your flesh and blood, because you have always been afraid. Also, you don’t want me to die , you think I live to experience the pain of having nothing and living a life worse than death. Niece, am I right?" King Jin paused and said, "It is said that this king is cruel, but niece, you and I are not the same. And Ouyang Ting Jun, he is not a good guy either. Don't think that others don't know how he got the throne. Niece of the emperor, although you don't want to admit it, in fact, we are all like dogs, and we can all be cruel for the sake of imperial power. Kill your own flesh and blood, don't you?"

"I'm not!" Ouyang Yuling denied it flatly, and King Jin's words hurt her old scars.

"Niece of the emperor, do you dare to do it or not? Do you think that if you don't think about it, no one will know? It was the prince who indulged in lust and died. Who offered the beauty to his east palace? When the emperor's seventh son drowned in Yuchi, And who asked him to pick lotus in advance. Niece of the emperor, you have done no less dark things than me!"

"Shut up, what do these things have to do with me? I donate the medical girl to the East Palace to take care of the prince's brother's long-sick body. It is his own licentiousness. The seventh brother picked lotus because he was naughty." Ouyang Yuling said , I lost confidence in my heart, and my voice gradually weakened.The death of the crown prince and the seventh prince had always been a pain he didn't want to face.

"Really? Why does a medical girl have so many tricks? Isn't it the emperor's niece? And..." King Jin deliberately elongated his voice, and continued, "That morning, when I entered the palace, I met Dong Chi Zheng was wandering alone in front of the imperial pond, and he told the king that he wanted to pick the two most beautiful lotus flowers in Hexin, one for his father who loved him so much, and one for his beloved emperor, because the emperor Tell him that they all like the lotus that just blooms in the morning. Alas, it's a pity that such an innocent and lovely child, he didn't know until his death that he was killed by his beloved Huangjie."

"Shut up, that's not the case, no, I didn't think so." Ouyang Yuling held her head in pain, "I have thought about it... I thought about stopping it."

"But in the end you didn't stop them, you let them go to the demise you designed. Niece, when you saw Dong Chi lying motionless on the ground with the newly bloomed lotus tightly gathered in your hands, how did you feel? "

"Shut up, don't say it, don't say it."

"No, I just want to say it!" King Jin looked at Ouyang Yuling, who was holding his head in pain, with a treacherous smile on his face. This is what he wanted. If Ouyang Yuling ruined his emperor's dream, he also wanted to let him Ouyang Yuling couldn't sit still on the throne for a moment, and he continued, "Do you think that Ouyang Tingjun doesn't know about these deeds you did in secret? Wrong, he already knew about it, but you are the only thing he has left." Bloodline, what can he do to you, do you think he really wanted to love you so much? No, he wants you to feel guilty, and wants you to suffer for the sin of killing your own brother and brother for the rest of your life."

"No, father wouldn't treat me like this, otherwise he wouldn't pass on the throne to me."

"Hahaha, how can he really want to pass on the throne to you, but if he has any other blood, wouldn't he give the throne to an enemy who killed his crown prince and his most beloved son? He gave it to you because He has no choice, and the important point is that he wants to anger me. He would rather give the throne to a woman or an enemy than to me. He wants to take revenge on me, and you are his revenge on me. A chess piece, a chess piece! Did you know that? My clever imperial niece."

"No! It won't be like this!"

"And that's what it is!"

"No! No!" Ouyang Yuling rushed out of the door in horror. The scars she had been afraid to face all these years were suddenly uncovered by King Jin, and the blood was dripping in front of her. She suddenly wanted to vomit. , because of loathing the dark and ugly self and the unbearable truth.

"Brother killing, younger brother killing, pawns? Hahaha!" Ouyang Yuling grabbed the horse and ran wildly, impatient to the detriment of Cao Haiguang and others who were following behind.

"What did you say to the princess?" Seeing this, Shen Lian asked King Jin anxiously. He was the one who reported the news to the princess. If something happened to the princess, his crime would be serious.

"The truth! The truth she dare not face!" Jin Wang Youyou said, and sat back in the corner again. After Shen Lian left with a helpless sleeve, he slowly said, "Hmph, niece of the emperor, your father The emperor is so stupid, how could he know this." He paused for a moment, with a fierce look on his face, "But he did use you as a tool to take revenge on me, hahahaha!" King Jin's wild laughter resounded throughout the Xuanzi prison .
