In the ocean of screams and chaos, the carriage where Princess Xi was staying was still as quiet as before.

The other silent carriage belonged to Daiyu and Ying Miaoyang.

At the beginning of the change, Daiyu and Ying Miaoyang were the first to realize that something was wrong, they got out of the carriage quietly and hid in the woods beside the road.

They saw Meng Xi get on the imperial chariot, and some thieves flew on the horse and took the Luan chariot away.

Where the wall of fire rises, the iron thorns on the tripping ropes are cold and the cold light is dazzling, forming two heavens and earth, one in front and one in back.

The empress's carriage was at the front, so she was closest to the wall of fire and both sides of the battle were the first to be affected.

The horses and chariots were frightened, they raised their hooves and neighed, broke free from the shaft, and ran into the dark woods beside them.

The carriage tipped over, and the Empress almost fell out of it.

Exclaimed into pieces!

"Ping, ping, ping, pong" sounds of weapons clashing everywhere.

Ying Miaoyang and the empress have an unusual relationship, and she can't bear to see her get old and suffer such an accident. What if something happens... Without even thinking about it, Ying Miaoyang pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stuffed it into Daiyu's hand, He whispered: "Hide here, no matter what happens, don't go out." After saying that, he turned around and ran to the empress.

But Daiyu firmly grabbed her arm, and blurted out: "The princess can't go, let me go."

Because Daiyu used too much force, she actually tore Ying Miaoyang's sleeve, revealing a white and tender lotus root arm.

On the other side, seeing the dangers and disasters happening frequently, Ying Miaoyang said angrily, "You child, why are you so disobedient? I am your mother, why are you arguing with me at this moment!"

In desperation, Ying Miaoyang blurted out Nai Daiyu's mother's words.

After all, he didn't look back, but went forward.

Daiyu hugged her by the waist, and said like a cannonball: "Princess, you are wearing a palace dress with flying sleeves and a long skirt. How can you save someone if you can't walk fast? You will be accidentally injured again later!"

Ying Miaoyang was stunned, and turned her head to look at Daiyu.

Daiyu took the opportunity to put the dagger into her hand again, and said: "You hide here, I will go instead. Don't worry, what happened today is quite strange, and there will be no danger. Remember not to scare yourself .”

Time was running out, although Daiyu saw some clues, but she didn't have time to explain, she simply asked Ying Miaoyang a few words, and trotted to the empress's carriage.

At this time, the guards had also reacted and surrounded the empress in the center of the team.

The empress was still in shock, and was injured by a fall. She was supported by a group of court ladies and could hardly stand upright.

What's the point of those court ladies?All of them were so terrified that they could only cry and run around, rushing left and right, making the guards overwhelmed.Not to mention that he couldn't help, the dangers happened several times, all because of these maids dragging the empress to run around.

Daiyu squeezed into the crowd, held her waist to support the empress, she sank into her dantian, and sternly shouted: "Shut up!"

Although Daiyu is young, she has practiced sword dancing for a long time, and her voice is clear and clean. Now she held her breath and said something suddenly, which shocked all the court ladies and eunuchs.

Everyone went to see Daiyu one after another.Seeing that although she is still childish, she has a calm expression on her face, her eyes are firm, and she is dignified and majestic, so she shut up obediently.

"Even if you all escaped now, as long as the Queen Mother hurts a hair, you are also the crime of Zhu Jiu Clan!" Daiyu said in a deep voice.

Not only the maids and eunuchs, but even some guards did not hesitate when they heard Daiyu's words.

"Only if the empress is alive, can we survive!" Daiyu added.

This truth couldn't be more obvious, it's just a matter of life and death, and how many people can't see through it at once.After being reminded by Daiyu, those who waited for an opportunity to sneak away, screamed and cried, or even pretended to be dizzy and pretended to be dead all woke up, gathered together, surrounded the empress and Daiyu in the core, and followed the guards' instructions, and went to the back in an orderly manner evacuate.

At this point, the empress was quite frightened. Seeing Daiyu's order was determined, she listened to the guards and then turned her head to give orders. Yu but women have this ability, the emperor is already talented, and there are many capable people around him, so he will never be defenseless. Gradually, some courage is infected in his heart, and his legs and feet finally have some strength.

The empress stretched out her hand and held Daiyu's wrist instead, she opened her mouth to speak, but her lips were still trembling, unable to make a sound.

Seeing this, Daiyu knew that the Empress had calmed down a bit, so she hurriedly listened to her and said, "Your Majesty is a little more reassuring, and my servants are bold and nonsense. There is something wrong with this matter. The Emperor is far-sighted, and if he wants to deal with it, it should be okay. A good phoenix body is appropriate."

When the queen heard Daiyu speak, she looked down at her in surprise.

This is clearly forcing the palace to rebel and assassinate the king. What did this little girl say?

He kept on stepping, and anger appeared on his face again.

Daiyu was keenly aware that the queen had misunderstood her, and hurriedly said, "Look, ma'am. I'm waiting under the protection of the guards, fighting and retreating, and now I'm so far away, but those masked assassins don't even chase, just wave The weapons are clamoring. How can this be an act against the party?"

The implication is that since these people dared to rebel, they must have made perfect preparations, and they were bound to catch the queen and all the high-ranking officials and women's family members, and use them as bargaining chips to threaten them.How could it be possible to let them retreat safely without chasing them?

The empress was reminded by Daiyu, she looked closely and found that the masked assassins were acting very strangely.Not only did they not act secretly in their assassinations, but they also fought openly, waving their weapons and yelling all the time, as if they wanted to attract all the officers and soldiers to escort them. Isn't this a bit bold?

Looking at the crowd of guards fighting and fleeing in all directions, except for the guards who were injured, no one died!

Moreover, when she first found out that Meng Xi had suddenly stepped onto the imperial chariot, she also felt chills in her heart.When the assassin came out, the horses were frightened, she fell out of the carriage, and immediately went to see where Princess Xi was driving.A group of assassins with knives surrounded Princess Xi's car.

At that time, she didn't think much about it, but now she turned her head and saw that no matter how embarrassed or not, everyone escaped from the circle of fire, only Princess Xi and her party were still trapped in the carriage and never came out.

Those assassins who seemed to be protecting Princess Xi had turned their knives inside at some point.

The empress stopped and ran away.

The fighting on this side also slowly stopped.

…………

On a dark high slope at the southern end of the paddock.The imperial chariot stops here.

In the night sky in the southeast and northwest, double-petaled golden chrysanthemums bloom one after another in the night sky.Meng Xi was sitting by the shaft of the car, with the embers of fireworks falling on her head, looking at the smoke and flames rolling down the slope, her eyes were full of murderous intent on her delicate and handsome face.

Behind the heavy gauze, there were two muffled coughs.

Meng Xi turned her head, looked at the emperor trapped inside through the gauze curtain, for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

"Fourth Uncle, didn't you expect it? I've come this far." Meng Xi's voice was as gentle as jade, making everyone who heard it feel like a spring breeze.

The imperial chariot was parked on a high slope, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was no light around at the moment, even the original lamps and candles on the carriage had already been extinguished during the gallop, only starlight and afterglow, barely illuminated.

Sitting behind the heavy shadows, the emperor said slowly, "I really didn't expect that."

"There must be a hundred secrets. You are guarding against your brothers, but you don't know that brothers have sons, and you will grow old one day. In this world, the capable live, and the virtuous and the virtuous, but the first The one who pushed was still the eldest son. My father, the king, took all the virtuous virtues of the eldest son, and at the end of the day, he was defeated by his father's suspicion and the frame-up of his brothers... Now, I will never follow his path." Meng Xiyue The more excited he was talking, the more he finally stood up, with his hands wide open, pointing to the sky and the earth, as if shouting at the sky and drinking the moon, swallowing the sky and spitting out the earth!

"This world is finally mine, Meng Xi's!"

The night wind blew, but it scattered his rhetoric, turning it into a fragmented country, an ambiguous world, and a lonely Meng Xi.

"You just took me captive. Even if you kill me immediately, the throne should belong to my princes. It's not your turn. Why are you so sure that Jiangshan is in your hands?" The emperor said unwillingly asked.

Meng Xi replied disdainfully: "Which one of your sons is promising? You can safely hand over the country to them? The virtuous king, the virtuous king, is not just for others to call? Besides, the fourth uncle just joked, How could my nephew kill my uncle? It was clearly those assassins who were so bold that they wanted to shoot you with one arrow! My nephew was eager to save you, and even got stabbed for you! It’s a pity that my nephew was helpless and unable to recover. In the end, you still died in the hands of the assassins. Under the knife. The nephew fought the assassin desperately until he was left with his last breath, and was rescued by the guards who came to escort him. After that, the ministers jointly signed a letter, declaring that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the new king should be established. Virtue establishes the lineage and establishes the head."

As Meng Xi spoke, she seemed to have seen the scene of the ministers presenting the second proposal, and continued passionately, "Fourth Uncle, don't worry, just look at it for a while, when your favorite nephew and grandson come with soldiers and horses, it will be your nephew escorting the bloody battle!" , when the blood stained this high slope red. Everyone in the paddock today will see how touching your nephew's righteous deeds are! Such a person should be elected as the new king. Adding a yellow robe is nothing more than that."

"It seems that your plan is very thorough? You are not afraid. When everyone is watching later, if you don't kill me..."

"You are terminally ill. You can hide the truth from the Queen and Prince Xian, but you can't hide it from me. I'm still sure about dealing with an old man in his dying years. I knew you were going to die, so I didn't have to take such risks. It's a pity that there is also an apex among your sons It's useful, and it's so rare to catch up with such a good opportunity, if I give up, wouldn't I become a fool again to make wedding clothes for others?" Meng Xi said triumphantly.

There was no more sound in the gauze tent.

Meng Xi, on the other hand, grew impatient.Why haven't the rescue soldiers and horses arrived at this time?If no one is watching, how can he continue to sing this play?

"Are you sure you have won?" said the Emperor suddenly.

A warning sign suddenly appeared in Meng Xi's heart.No, why is he so calm!He is so calm!Could it be that he had expected this move from me and prepared himself in advance?

impossible!Meng Xi just thought of this, but immediately vetoed it.Acting rashly was my impromptu idea, not only taking advantage of his illness, but also borrowing the idea of ​​that boy Yongyu to compete. It was all a whim, he couldn't have predicted it in advance, guessed it all, unless...

"Hmph, this world is mine in the first place. Now it's just returned to the original owner. You want to scare me when you are about to die?" Meng Xi's voice suddenly became a little hoarse.

"Return things to their original owners? Your father and king didn't even dare to say that. It's really too early for you to say it now." The emperor's voice came, not from inside the imperial chariot behind Meng Xi, but from behind him. on the hill.

Suddenly, torches lit up all around, like sparks starting a prairie fire, illuminating this square inch of land almost like daylight.

Meng Xi was used to the darkness, and when she saw the light for the first time, she couldn't bear to raise her hand to cover her eyes, it took her a while to get used to it, and when she opened her eyes again, there were arrows, knives and guns in front of her and behind her, up and down slopes.

But in an instant, victory or defeat is life and death, and heaven and man are separated.

But the imperial chariot was still in place, and Yongyu came to help the emperor himself out of it.

Bright yellow dragon robes, hanging pearls and jade crowns, the same body shape, but only [-]% similar faces.

"Father, are you alright?" Yongyu asked while holding the hand of the "Emperor".

"No problem." Prince Xian replied.

It turned out that from the beginning to the end, the person sitting in the imperial chariot was not the emperor, but the virtuous prince.

On the top of the opposite mountain, the emperor stood under the bright yellow umbrella with his hands behind his back, looking down at him.

"Meng Xi, you still followed your father's old path after all. It's just a pity that you are far inferior to him." The emperor threw down these words, flicked his sleeves, turned around and was about to leave.

"Don't go! Who said I lost? Who said I lost? Your queen, you don't want it anymore? You, you, and you—" Meng Xi spun around like crazy, ignoring her spear and the point of her spear. He almost scratched his cheek, pointing at the civil servants and military generals standing everywhere on the mountain and down the mountain, and shouted madly.

"Your wives and daughters are in my hands. If you run away, they are all dead. Thanks to your self-proclaimed benevolent emperor, do you dare to abandon the queen? You, all of you, dare to give up your wives and children for the sake of glory and wealth." Old mother?" Meng Xi said in a dying struggle.

"My lord..." Youyou called from behind.

Meng Xi turned around in astonishment.He saw Princess Xi being escorted up the mountain with knives around her neck by assassins masked in black scarves under his hands.

Behind them were the sons and daughters who were also tied around the neck with a knife, weeping and shaking like chaff.

In stark contrast to this, the queen empress, who was supposed to be a prisoner, was doing her best under the stars.

The queen empress accompanied Daiyu and Ying Miaoyang walked slowly.All the family members and children of the officials who participated in the siege followed, except for a little disheveled, but all of them were unscathed.

On the other side, several princes and noble sons who were as attractive as Meng Xi were also escorted up by the guards.There are also many faces he is familiar with, people who always meet at his house, drink and have fun with him, and practice military training in the field.

They once had a big spring and autumn dream together. In that dream, he was the emperor, and they were his civil and military officials.

"My lord, we have lost." Princess Xi said tragically.

And defeat is death.

Thinking of the appearance of my father after being imprisoned, the place as big as a palm, the door that is always dusty, the windows that are not allowed to be opened, and the little light that only penetrates in the middle of the night when the moon is full...

The years are long and the years are flowing, but it has nothing to do with him anymore.

The color of the sky, the smell of flowers, the touch of the rain on the body, the bending of the branches when the snow falls, and the dust and smoke everywhere when the wind passes by...

But in the blink of an eye, only black, black, black, bottomless darkness, endless darkness...

The panic that would never see the light of day took away all of Meng Xi's will in an instant.

He drew out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and stabbed it into his chest until it reached the hilt.

"If I lose, I will die. My family members can be killed or exiled, but not captured." Meng Xi turned around slowly, with a dagger stuck in his chest, and said to the emperor whose back was turned.

"I'm ready."

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to describe Meng Xi seriously, but the ending is doomed, I can't bear it, so let's end it like this!
