Dai Ziling

Chapter 209

His eyes were closed tightly, his face was as white as paper, and his seven orifices were bleeding. King Nandan lay paralyzed on his seat, motionless.

Looking at the broken teacup on the ground, Zixi's first thought was that the cup of tea she poured for him just now was poisonous.

Zhu Lan stepped forward to check Nandan King's breath, her heart sank, she felt his pulse again, and said in shock, "How could this happen?"

Teng Xuanyi said: "It's not poisoning, right?"

Zhu Lan nodded and said: "The meridians are all broken, and the body explodes and dies."

This...isn't it the same as the death method of Nandan spy after being discovered!

It's the Mozu!They can really kill people invisible!What about the others... Queen, Concubine Jin, will they also...

Thinking of this, Zixi's feet softened and her scalp went numb. Teng Xuanyi hugged her shoulders and said, "Calm down, the queen mother won't be like this!"

Hearing what Teng Xuanyi said, Zixi's heart calmed down a little. Yes, if the queen can be killed in such a simple way, then why bother to burn Xiangkun Palace!It should be that the demon clansman cast a spell on King Nandan long ago, but why, why did he let him die at this time...

There was a burst of noisy footsteps outside, Teng Xuanyi turned his head, and saw Teng Xuanxiao and Mu Yan running in with a group of guards.

When seeing the scene in front of him, Teng Xuanxiao was also dumbfounded, and he pointed to Pill King Guidance: "This... this... you..."

Only then did Teng Xuanyun and Teng Xuanchun come back to their senses. With red eyes, they helped each other, and moved step by step in front of King Nandan's body. They knelt down on the ground with a thump, and wept softly, "Father..."

Teng Xuanyi showed sadness, but he was not as moved as they were. He turned his head slightly and said, "Third Brother, Heng Cang!"

Teng Xuanxiao was startled first: "Heng Cang?"

Teng Xuanyi blinked, and Teng Xuanxiao immediately understood what was happening. He turned around and said loudly to the guards behind him: "Give me an order, and the whole palace and city will immediately search for it. The crown prince assassinated my Nandan monarch. forgive!"

"Yes!" After a loud reply, the guards hurried out, and Teng Xuanxiao said again: "The four fainted in the yard..."

At this time, Zixi had completely recovered her composure. She understood the intention of Teng Xuanyi's move, but the four guards in the yard were innocent. If they killed people to silence them, how would they be different from those whom she hated...

She grabbed Teng Xuanyi's arm and shook her head firmly, at this moment Zhu Lan said, "Leave those four people to me!"

After saying that, he walked out, Zixi heaved a sigh of relief, secretly thankful that there are these gods who can ascend to heaven and earth beside her, but she thought about it, what if it is a mortal who is facing this situation today?Obviously he is innocent, but there is no evidence to prove his innocence. If he wants to protect himself, he can only kill the guards outside the gate and die with injustice?Or wash away sin with sin?

Suddenly, Zixi felt that she was still too simple. Those who appeared to be evil on the surface may not know the sufferings and difficulties they experienced behind the scenes. What is good and what is evil?She secretly swore that from now on, if she didn't know the whole truth about a matter, she would never draw conclusions about anyone again.

The sudden death of King Nandan and the succession of the third prince, everything was so straightforward, many problems were solved easily, and the cruelty of the demons helped these people to a certain extent, is it a coincidence?

Looking at the two people kneeling in front of King Nandan crying bitterly, Zixi felt very sad. She slowly turned her head to look at Teng Xuanyi. His eyes were full of tears, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he gently stroked his arm twice. , Zixi didn't know what to say, in front of him, useless consolation such as life is not worth living, and mourning and resignation.

Teng Xuanxiao lowered her head and sighed, saying:

"Mu Yan..."

Mu Yan said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this subordinate knows what to do, but the battle with Yan You is probably inevitable."

Teng Xuanyi said: "Don't worry too much about the border issue, let's deal with the immediate matter first!"

Mu Yan nodded and exited the imperial study room.

Patting Teng Xuanyi on the shoulder, Teng Xuanxiao said: "Xuanyi, I am the throne..."

"Third brother, it should be so, so don't think about anything else. After dealing with... the funeral of the father and the crisis at the border, I... I want to leave."

"Leave? Where are you going?"

Hearing these words, Teng Xuanyun and Teng Xuanchun staggered over while wiping away tears, and said in unison: "We want to be with fourth brother."

Teng Xuanxiao was at a loss, and her instinctive reaction was that these brothers were afraid of being supercilious, so they ran away: "Don't you believe me?"

The three brothers said: "Of course not!"

Zixi blurted out: "If they don't believe you, will they hand over Nandan to you? Can your brain be competent for the king of a country?"

Teng Xuanxiao said: "I..."

As if feeling that something was wrong with what she said, Zixi pursed her lips in embarrassment: "Well, what I mean is, well, Nandan has you, they are all at ease, and there are still some things that will happen sooner or later." The explanation is not clear, anyway, if we leave here, it will be much safer here, by the way! You must take good care of the queen and concubine Jin, otherwise I will not spare you!"

Glancing at King Nandan, Teng Xuanxiao said in a startling way: "Girl, tell the truth, is Father King mad at you!"

Zixi's eyes widened: "What kind of talk is this! Don't blame me!"

The three Yiyunchun brothers focused their eyes on Teng Xuanxiao: "Third brother, you..."

After waving his hand, Teng Xuanxiao signaled them to shut up. He looked at Zixi carefully and said, "I know you are not simple, and you have hidden secrets in many things. You want to leave because you are afraid of giving Yujing and Nandan a lot of money." Bringing more trouble, right? How do you want to do it, it's up to you, but I promise you will do my best to take care of the people you want me to take care of, then you..."

Turning her eyes to the three younger brothers, Teng Xuanxiao's expression became a little heavy: "You also have to do your best to help me take care of them, can you?"

Zixi felt a little embarrassed when her eyeballs were bulging. Most of the time, she entrusted women to men to take care of her, so why did she do the opposite?One more time to entrust three...

At this time, Zhu Lan walked in, with a half-smile and said: "Leave such a difficult task to me! Those guards will still be in a coma for a while, and they probably won't remember what happened after waking up, Nan Dan The king was killed, and they cannot escape their responsibility as guards, so a small punishment is enough, and life is still to be saved!"

Teng Xuanxiao nodded and said: "Of course, they are innocent! In this way, you go to the next room to rest for a while, these few days... I am afraid that some are tired!"

Zixi said: "It will take some time for those concubines and officials to arrive after receiving the news. We... I, me! Can I leave first? I'll be back soon."

Teng Xuanxiao said: "Are you asking for my opinion? It's really rare. I don't care where you go to play wild, but at this time, the three of them can't mess around anymore."

Teng Xuanyun and Teng Xuanchun approached Zixi: "I'm going too!"

Teng Xuanxiao frowned, looked at Teng Xuanyi, only to hear Teng Xuanyi say slowly: "Of course we want to go together!"

Teng Xuanxiao said helplessly: "Go, go! Hurry up and come back!"

Glancing at King Nandan, Zixi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said, "Zhulan, lead the way!"

Qin Rao, who had been silently by the side, curled up her fingers. She knew that Zixi was going to Yuxuanfang to investigate. Those who can use the magic of Nether Ember in the Demon Race must not be ordinary people. Lan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect these people well, just in case...

"Hey! What are you thinking! Let's go!"

Teng Xuanyun's voice made Qin Rao's heart tremble. The purpose of the demons coming to the mortal world is self-evident. After so many years, they have been lurking in the imperial palace, and they only acted after Zixi appeared. Qin Rao hoped that it was her She thought too much, but for some reason, she felt more and more uneasy. If it was what she guessed, then in the days to come...

Seeing that Qin Rao's complexion was not good, Zixi asked concerned: "What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Qin Rao forced a smile: "No, let's go!"

Teng Xuanchun looked at her and didn't speak. After all, Qin Rao came from the demon world and knew a lot about some things about the demon clan. I'm afraid she already knew Lian Shi's identity. No wonder she was timid, but she didn't know something about the demon clan. The previous lord was standing in front of her at this moment.I'm worried that the demons will hurt Zixi, oh, I'm thinking too much... I'm afraid that when the time comes, the most difficult thing to deal with is the so-called righteous way that claims to be upright and upright!

Regarding this point, Zixi knew it well. When she walked out of the imperial study, she looked up at the sky. The gray color made her feel very depressed, as if the thing on top of her head was about to fall down in the next moment.

Teng Xuanchun said, "What are you looking at?"

Zixi said without turning her eyes: "At dawn, most people like to keep their eyes open, but after dark, most of them are used to closing their eyes and going to sleep! Although the light of a candle is insignificant, as long as it is burning, as long as we are willing to hold a candle Lamp, you should still be able to move forward in the dark, right?"

Several people raised their heads one after another, as if they were all lost in thought. Only Teng Xuanyi looked ahead and said leisurely:
"If you want to go, even if there is no light, I will walk with you..."
