I really didn't take the emperor of the enemy country as a stand-in

The palace has been very heavily guarded these days.

A carriage that provided wood for the palace to repair the palace drove to the small gate and was stopped immediately.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted immediately, revealing a plain face: "It's me."

Qiangzi is specialized in transporting wood, and has delivered many times to the palace. He is an acquaintance.

Only then did the guard feel relieved: "Qiangzi, is there anyone in the carriage?"

"It's my boss." Qiangzi scratched his head, "Today there are a lot of goods, and there is no vacant helper, so he came by himself."

"Okay, but we still have to check, otherwise it's against the rules."

"Well! All the officials, please."

The guards searched the truck, but found nothing unusual.It's just that the size of the wood today is a bit strange, cut to the size of a door panel, but this is not something the guards can ask, and they don't care.

After searching, their eyes fell on the thin young man in the carriage.

Noticing their gazes, the young man coughed twice: "Excuse me."

Sure enough, it is the boss. This small body is so weak that it doesn't look like he can work. If we come with Qiangzi today, Qiangzi must be working alone.

"Okay, you go in. Remember, there is something going on in the palace these days, so don't run around and look around."

"Hey! I remember it all."

The carriage transporting the timber walked tremblingly along the remote palace road overgrown with weeds, and arrived at the yard where the goods were unloaded.The eunuchs were already waiting there.They will unload all the goods in this small courtyard, and the eunuchs will carry them to a deeper place in the palace.

"Hey, why did you bring so much this time?" the leading father-in-law complained.

Qiangzi and the boss said while moving: "How would this grassroots know? They are all acting according to the list."

The father-in-law clicked his tongue and waved his hand, telling the little eunuchs to run a few more times.

"Elder-in-law, can I ask for a bowl of water?"

The leading father-in-law glanced at him sideways, clicked his tongue, and waved his hand in disgust.Qiangzi immediately beamed with joy, and dragged the boss around to the courtyard room.

This piece of yard used as a goods yard is all abandoned servants' rooms, and next to it is the Leng Palace, which is the most unlucky place in the entire palace. It has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are not many valuable things, so no one cares about it.After Qiangzi and the boss walked around the yard, their movements became extremely agile, and they turned over in a few strokes.

They walked swiftly through the cargo yard, and suddenly, guards appeared in front of them.

"It's here." The boss who had been silent all this time suddenly said, his voice was a little thin.

Qiangzi nodded, with a fierce look in his eyes.

There are guards here, but they are not strong.With three or two clicks, they were knocked down before they could make a sound.

They walked into the house and saw the coffin placed on the dilapidated high platform.Qiangzi waved immediately.

They carried the "corpse" to the intersection of the abandoned yard, only one turn away from the small gate.Then back to the yard.

"You two have taken so long to drink water," the leading father-in-law was a little displeased, "Also, you are really careless. Why did my family just checked the list, and although they asked for more wood this time, they didn't ask for more wood?" There are so many, you brought so many here, is it because you want to extort more money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"No, no, it's just a mistake."

"The family didn't move much, the rest of the wood is still in the car, you take it back by yourself." The father-in-law said angrily, "The corruption investigation in the palace has been very strict recently, if you don't account for it, you will lose a layer Pi, don't bring bad luck to the family, otherwise, I will sue you next time and make you lose your royal job."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Qiangzi bowed down and apologized non-stop, and respectfully sent the eunuchs out, then got into the car with the team leader, turned a few turns and left the palace.They made a simple small box from the extra boards, hid the person inside and took them out together.

Wen Yao opened his eyes, and the bottom of his throat was almost dry.He braced himself up, trembling and trying to get up, when suddenly the door opened wide, and many people poured in.

"Don't move. The doctor said that you were lucky to save your life this time. If the arrow misses by an inch, you will die." Sheng Yun was the first to rush to the bedside, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, "It's a good thing they went to save the arrow. You are in time, otherwise you will suffocate to death in this coffin."

Just as Wen Yao was about to speak, he suddenly coughed violently. He supported the bed frame with one hand, and his jaw line was stretched straight in pain.

After a long time, he said hoarsely, "What about him?"

Sheng Yun was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about Zhong Lan, and his eyes immediately turned red again: "Your Majesty, you are still thinking about him. Even if he couldn't help himself, this arrow was shot too simply. This friendship , Is it true or not, it is worth it for you..."

Wen Yao shook his head, asked a few more questions, and was relieved to make sure that Sheng Yun had withdrawn the troops safely.

After a long time, Wen Yao seemed to be unable to hold back, and asked again: "What about him?"

"He's fine. I heard that Zhou Yi provided food and drink for him." Sheng Yun was annoyed, "He never tried to save you. If it wasn't for Yun Cheng, how could His Majesty come out?"

"Without him, Luo Guojun would really be dead." A clear female voice sounded from behind.They turned to find a figure in male attire leaning against the door frame.

"Princess Yuncheng?" Wen Yao frowned in surprise, "How did you get the information?"

"My caravan has been expanding on the mainland, but I haven't dared to return to the country of Yan these years. After Zhong Lan arrived in the country of Yan, he used his authority to get in touch with me. Since it was all a small business of the caravan, no one cared. So he helped me bring the business line back to Yan Kingdom, and even used his power to give me two or three deals to do business with the imperial palace."

Wen Yao frowned.

Yun Cheng took off all the disguise: "Of course I know, how can you be so kind and selfless to help me? Zhong Lang is so eager to help me rebuild the trade route of Yan Kingdom, isn't it just to let the gods not know it? Is Xia Jiufeng's Xiajiu popular to be his secret helper?"

"So?" Sheng Yun was curious.

"Later, I found out that he placed wood orders with me in a regular way. He would order one piece of linden wood every day, one piece for the first time, two pieces for the second time, and three pieces for the third time. A cycle of three days. In the palace There was no Bodhi wood in the order received after the shocking change. However, yesterday, there were two Bodhi wood in the order, calculated according to the order, which happened to be connected with the previous rule. So I realized that this was the news from Zhong Lan Forced me to repay the favor." Yun Cheng said, "And when we moved you out, we found that there was a hole under the coffin. It seems that he deliberately found an opportunity to break it when he was watching the corpse, otherwise you would have held back. died."

Sheng Yun frowned: "Hasn't he thought about the situation where you don't plan to make a move?"

Princess Yuncheng smiled without saying a word, folded her arms and shook her head.

"Zhou Yi is in the same line as the old Yan Guojun. If Zhou Yi takes power and unifies the world, as long as we find her traces, we must kill the grass and root out the roots." Wen Yao said softly, "An enemy of an enemy is a friend. There is no one in this world who is more powerful than Yun Cheng." A suitable ally. Even if Zhou Yi was not expected to have a change at the time, and the world's caravan is controlled by Yun Cheng, it can still restrain the remnants of the caravan controlled by the royal family of Yan Kingdom."

"They will soon find out that the coffin is empty. There must be another change in the palace." Yun Cheng put away his smile and looked serious.

Wen Yao said softly, "What should he do this time?"

Zhong Lan stood under the moonlight, looking at Zhou Yi's face.In the hand behind his back was a small silver spoon.

"Sir, you said yesterday that you had a headache and wanted a linden wood hairpin and a linden wood pillow. It takes time to make it, and it may take some time for the craftsman to deliver it."

Zhong Lan didn't speak, just stared into Zhou Yi's eyes quietly.

Maybe it was because his killing intent was too obvious, or maybe it was because his allergies faded too quickly, Zhou Yi showed a bit of helplessness and fragility, and finally let go of that fox-like and cynical disguise in front of Zhong Lang.

"Why do you look at me like this, Mister?" he asked slowly and sincerely, "Sir, you want to be enshrined and enjoyed by the Lord of the World, so I offer it to you. Mister is not happy about this, so I am trying to win your favor, even the imperial power You have to offer it, but you don’t want it.”

Zhong Lan was expressionless.Those words could not even cause him the slightest disturbance.

"So, what should I do to make my husband like me?" Zhou Yi's voice became softer and softer.

"Zhou Yi, do you know?" Zhong Lang finally said, "You have betrayed too many times. No one would trust such a person."

Zhou Yi's eyes were full of dilapidated embarrassment.

Zhong Lan continued: "A person like you is so selfish, you only love yourself."

"Sure enough. I was really wrong, but what's wrong with loving myself?" Zhou Yi murmured, "I only love two, one is myself and the other is you."

"It's useless. No one will believe it."

Suddenly, the moonlight split on Zhou Yi's face.His expression was extremely ferocious, wrinkled into a ball, and the gully divided the moonlight into pieces, like a desperate heart.

His throat was almost stuck because of the tension: "You know what? At that time, I was swinging between you and Li Weisong. It seemed that I could easily choose anyone. But from the beginning to the end, I will only choose you."

There was despair in his eyes: "It's you from the beginning."

Zhong Lan's killing intent remained undiminished, covering Zhou Yi's body.His determination and distrust pierced Zhou Yi's heart fiercely, almost piercing his heart with thousands of arrows.

"You still don't believe it."

Zhou Yi suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"Let me tell you a story at the end," Zhou Yi said while laughing crazily, "At that time, Li Weisong showed me the story he told. The person in the story was so obsessed when I saw you, and was fascinated by you." You played with it in the palm of your hand. I didn't believe it at the time."

His laughter startled Xia Chan, and the singing of the cicadas stopped abruptly.The courtyard was as quiet as a winter night in ice and snow, chilling to the bone.

"However, when I saw you for the first time, I realized that it was fate." Zhou Yi suddenly became extremely desperate, "Can you believe it? It seems that it is written that there is no cure, the meaning of my life From the throne, it became you."

"Why, why did it become like this. I don't want to love you, but I can't—" he roared heart-piercingly.

Suddenly a group of people knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Don't come in!"

Zhou Yi stopped them sharply, turned his head and looked at Zhong Lan who had already raised his hand that wanted to grab his neck.

"I lost, but fortunately, Wen Yao is also dead. Since I can't get your heart, there is no point in living, and I won't let anyone take advantage of it." Zhou Yi looked at him almost greedily, "Do you understand? It's like the only meaning written has been torn apart."

Zhong Lan's hand was placed on his neck, as long as he exerted force, he would die.For some reason, when he heard the "written meaning", his hands paused slightly.

Be set by this world to love him.

"You don't need to go to such lengths," Zhou Yi smiled, and feebly pushed his hands away from his neck, "It's hard to explain to them that you killed me. I helped you kill yourself, but there is a condition for this."

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his sleeve.

This is the imperial order.

"You're right, I love you, but I also love myself. So, I want revenge, and I want to satisfy my hatred!" His voice suddenly amplified, "But how can I take revenge? The only way!"

Zhong Lan's pupils tightened: "You are crazy."

"Yes, I'm crazy!" Zhou Yi said loudly, "Wen Yao died, and I died too. Sir, you have to ascend the throne."

"You have to be the emperor for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to break free!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly opened his eyes and bit his tongue.

Blood spurted out and spilled on the ground.The scroll dripped and rolled on the ground.Rows of dense small characters and the national seal are printed on it, solemn and solemn.

That is the throne that everyone longs for, and it is also the curse that avenges Zhonglan.
