The palace maid put down the clothes in her hands, took out the white silk from underneath, and slowly approached the dragon bed. Seeing her slow look, the queen panicked in her heart, so she urged her a few more times.

The maid's footsteps quickened, her figure was blocked by the veil, and she could only vaguely see a little movement, or because of the approach of a living person, the emperor struggled a little harder, and the iron chains jingled, and the imperial guards guarding the door heard the movement, and one after another He stepped forward, but was stopped by soldiers.

"Your Majesty is changing clothes for the Holy One, and some movement is unavoidable. If you break in like this, it will break the rules."

"According to the rules, it is supposed to place the holy dragon's body on the Taiji Hall. Isn't it ridiculous that you have broken the rules a long time ago and still come to talk to me about the rules?" The commander waved his hand, and the guards behind him moved It is surrounded.

The soldier sneered and said, "It's the empress who wants to put the dragon's body here so that everyone won't disturb the holy dragon's body. What does it have to do with us!" The commander frowned when he heard this.

Suddenly, there was a scream from inside the room, and the commander pushed the soldiers away and rushed in, regardless of other matters.There was an unpleasant smell in the room, a little bit like a rotting corpse, the queen stood blankly beside the dragon bed, and the palace lady crawled to the commander's side.

"Empress...the empress lied to everyone. The majesty was only seriously ill and did not die. In order for the prince to inherit the emperor as soon as possible, the empress actually wanted to strangle the majesty with white silk. I was afraid and yelled, but it was half too late. step……"

"You..." The queen's complexion changed. She had been standing at the door from the beginning to the end, and suddenly heard a shout, and she went over to take a look. Unexpectedly, the maid did not use the white silk to break the emperor's neck, but directly used it to break the emperor's neck. The dagger pierced his eye socket, not only that, the emperor's face was scratched by the dagger so that he could not see the original appearance clearly.

The emperor's emaciated body lay motionless on the bed, but his clothes were clean, as if someone often washed his body, the conductor looked at the queen in shock.

The queen said: "This matter has nothing to do with this Palace."

"But the Holy Majesty doesn't look like he's been dead for seven days. How can the empress explain this?" the commander finally asked.

"It's He Shi..."

Before the Queen could say anything, the soldiers at the door knelt on the ground, crying and calling out to the Holy Majesty: "Your Majesty... Didn't you say that the Majesty is dead? No one is allowed in to disturb the Majesty, not even the crown prince. It turns out that you have been deceiving us all along!"

"He Shikun don't want to put the crime on me alone." The queen took out a key and handed it to the commander, "Even if I am guilty, He Shikun is also an accomplice, please go to the pharmacy with me to find out .”

Even if she loses power, He Shikun must be dragged into the water.

The pharmacy is also called Danqingfang, which is also the place where He Shikun used to study Hell Flower. It is said that this medicine was brought back from the border, but the research for several years has not yielded any results. Imperial blockade.

But behind the scenes, the emperor still ordered He Shikun to continue researching. The specific reason was that the empress thought it strange that something happened to Concubine Liu, but He Shikun was not punished. So safe and sound, he is developing the revival medicine for the emperor.

It is true that the emperor is in poor health. He has swollen feet due to staying up late all year round. It hurts to walk, he is tired and dizzy, and his memory is impaired. The imperial physicians privately said that the emperor will not live long, but no one dares to say so.

The queen sneered, the emperor did love Concubine Liu, but not as much as himself, when he came to the door of Qingdan room, the commander unlocked the iron lock and opened the door to enter.

The place has been cleaned up, only some long tables and iron cages, the surrounding air smells like mold, the queen asked the guards to remove the table, there is a hollow brick under it, the queen hides the evidence here, no one can think of it The things were hidden by her in an unguarded place.

But when the guards removed the blue brick, she was stunned, the inside was empty, there was no evidence of crime, the queen exclaimed: "This is impossible, I clearly..."

The queen thought of the maid who betrayed her, she turned her head suddenly: "You took it, right?"

The palace maid hid behind the guards: "This servant doesn't know what the empress is talking about, and this servant knows that this place is a forbidden place, so I dare not come here."

The imperial guards and soldiers all looked at the queen with weird eyes. The queen leaned against the table, looking weak as if she had lost her last hope. The sky outside gradually brightened, and the commander could only report the matter here to the prince and the prince. Tai Fu.

Early in the morning, the emperor's body was carried to the Taiji Hall, and the empress was temporarily locked up in her own palace, waiting for everyone to come to a conclusion after the morning court. From the beginning to the end, He Shikun did not show up.

The crown prince was dressed in white and interrogated the eldest maid next to the empress. She killed Cai just now. The Taifu knew that this was also a good opportunity to bring down He Shikun, so he proposed to bring the family of the eldest maid to the palace to see if they were killed. people blackmail.

The crown prince understood what the grand master meant, that he wanted the grand maid to be a scapegoat, but it was a pity that the grand maid's family members had long since died. Some court ministers said they wanted to kill the empress, some said they wanted to abolish the empress, and some said they wanted to kill the empress. Zhulian Jiuzu.

The prince said angrily: "You want to kill this prince?"

"I dare not wait!"

"The prince is about to succeed to the throne. After all, the queen is the prince's biological mother. You can't tell the prince to behead his own mother. That would be unfilial." Good day!"

Imprisoning him is the best way.

All the crimes are borne by the grand lady.

After the crown prince agreed, the emperor's body was just buried, and the people of the city knelt down, followed by the succession hall. It was originally a grand and prosperous event, but at this moment, everyone's hearts were shrouded in clouds, as if it foreshadowed some kind of ominous.

It is well known that the crown prince is incompetent. In fact, the ministers looked down on him in their hearts. What's more, He Shikun was there, but he didn't show up in the succession hall. tolerant attitude.

"General He is not in good health, so don't come if you don't want to come!"

Afterwards, the Holy Majesty went to visit the Empress Dowager.

I don't know what the two said in it, the queen mother was so angry that she drove him out of the Qianning hall, and the holy majesty left with a wave of his sleeves, saying: "You feel lonely and incompetent, and you can't keep this country."

"What are you holding?"

"I have a lonely royal sister!"

He knew how much he weighed, but he actually had other plans in his heart, no matter what the queen mother said, he would not be moved.Today's crown princess is naturally becoming a queen, and when she returned to the dormitory, seeing her growing belly, the Holy Majesty was very angry.

He muttered, "You bastard."

The empress ordered someone to bring soothing soup, the majesty didn't even look at it, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep, the empress looked slightly cold, she shunned the maid to sleep with him, the two had different dreams in the same bed, they rested back to back.

……

Si Qinglian and Xia Ningle came to the foot of Lanshan Mountain. They brought nearly a thousand people with them. In order to facilitate their actions in the mountains, they didn't bring much equipment. One group of people brought a long knife and a dagger. A little food and ropes, a group of people brought bows and arrows, short knives, and some daily-needed grease and blood sacs.

The weather in the mountains is colder than that in the border towns. Using fire to deal with corpse puppets may not have any effect. Everyone searched for the cliff trails in Lanshan. Everyone tried to stay as far away from the destroyed village as possible, not daring to get too close. .

The Kelan Mountain is so big that it is really difficult to find a trail. Everyone searched for two days but found nothing, and they didn't bring much food. They could only try to find wild fruits in the mountains or hunt to subsidize their daily food consumption.

On the third day, a moderate rain in the mountains made the ground difficult to walk on. Some people even accidentally slipped their feet and rolled down the hillside. After stumbling, they hit their heads on stones and died.

"Everyone be careful."

Si Qinglian kept holding Xia Ningle, fearing that she would be as slippery as the soldier, but soon everyone could no longer walk carefully. The blood on the soldier's head made the nearby corpse growl, and then more The golem answered the roar.

"Quick, find a high ground for defense!"

"That's too late."

Corpse puppets emerged from all directions, their steps were crazy, like sprinters, even if their companions slipped and fell, they would still be able to trample them over.

"kill!"

The archers took the lead in killing a wave, and the crowd quickly mingled with the corpse puppet. They all agreed that whoever was bitten to death would cut off the other's head, and they had to kill to the end as long as they had one breath left.

More and more corpse puppets rushed over.

They retreated while killing, using blood bags to open the way, but they were not as fast as the corpse puppet licking blood. The corpse puppet crawled on the ground, swallowed the blood, and then continued to chase the team.

Some people voluntarily stayed behind, and this was the only best way to save most of them. Si Qinglian said take care, and took most of them with him to evacuate. The rest of them could only fight to the death with their own bodies.

But this evacuation was forced to the place where everyone least wanted to come. In the village where countless corpses were buried, none of the houses in the entire village were intact, and because of the rain, the soil was a little soft. will come out of the ground.

"Everyone, take your steps lightly."

Some corpse puppets were trapped under the bricks and were stabbed to death through the gaps, but they would be slowed down if they were so careful, and the voices of the corpse puppets behind them became louder and louder.

"The corpse puppet is about to catch up." Someone shouted.

A hand suddenly stretched out from under the mud, tightly grabbing a person's ankle, the person hurriedly stabbed several times in the ground, but he still couldn't let go of his hand, Si Qinglian chopped off his hand, and the person's foot There was a severed hand hanging on the top like this, and it couldn't be pulled off.

More golems crawled out of the mud.

Some people got too close and were bitten by surprise, so Si Qinglian didn't care about anything else: "Run."

As soon as he uttered these words, the corpse puppet hugged his boss Qinglian's thigh fiercely. Fortunately, Xia Ningle who was at the side reacted quickly, stuck a knife on the corpse puppet's mouth, and Si Qinglian cut off his head with a backhand knife.

"Roar!" The corpse puppet rushed forward.

The two retreated one after another.

Behind them, those corpse puppets trapped under the bricks and tiles were so powerful that they forced a gap from the inside, got half of their bodies, and entangled Si Qinglian again. When Xia Ningle turned around, Si Qinglian The foot was bitten.

Xia Ningle's face was extremely pale.
