sword from heaven

Chapter 379 Lightning Falling (Part [-])
As the imperial decree was passed down, the princes left the mansion one by one and came to the palace and outside the palace.

Su Qinghe came back to pay the order.

"Princess, there are two other princes who are not in the mansion. The slaves have already sent people to look for them. It will take a while."

"Where did they go?"

"The Eighth Prince secretly went to play outside the capital, and the Ninth Prince..."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Go to Qiongfei Tower..."

"Humph, Qiong Fei Lou!" Xie Ziying snorted, "Ninth Emperor Brother is really in a good mood!"

Su Qinghe lowered his head.

At this time, the Duanhe hall had been cleaned up, without a trace of bloody smell, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, which was refreshing.

Only Xie Sheng's body was still lying on the dragon case, with blood on his face, looking miserable.

At this time, a beautiful court lady opened the curtain and came in lightly, and said crisply: "Princess, the empress has arrived, Lord Jiang has also arrived, and Prince Rui has also arrived."

"Please come in," Xie Ziying said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The palace maid responded crisply.

After a while, the three of them walked slowly into the Duanhe Hall.

One old man was chubby, chubby, and smiling all over his face, while the other was thin and dry, with a complexion like iron.

There is also a beautiful woman who is so dazzling that people dare not look directly at her, she is so gorgeous, she is wearing a phoenix dress.

When she moved lightly with lotus steps, the golden threads on the phoenix dress flowed like a phoenix flying around her body.

As soon as they came in, they saw Xie Ziying standing beside the dragon case, and Xie Sheng was lying on the dragon case with his face covered with blood and his head shattered.

The expressions of the three of them suddenly changed.

"Your majesty..." The magnificent woman suddenly exclaimed, and hurried forward to help Xie Sheng.

Discovering that Xie Sheng's corpse was already stiff, she immediately burst into grief, tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Xie Ziying said: "My mother's condolences, my father's death has already passed!"

"Who did it?!" The queen raised her head, her beautiful face was covered with tears: "Who is so bold to kill the emperor?"

"Brother Big Emperor." Xie Ziying shook her head lightly: "I came a step too late, and Brother Big Emperor succeeded!"

"Xie Baixuan!" The queen gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "How dare he...how dare..."

The thin old man said in a deep voice: "The empress's condolences, since the emperor has already passed away, the most urgent thing is who will succeed us!... It's time for us to take out the imperial edict from the heavenly chamber!"

"Alas..." the chubby old man sighed.

He stroked his beard and shook his head, and sighed: "Brother Huang is so wise and powerful, but he couldn't guard against his son..."

The queen turned her head and glared at him: "Second brother!"

Prince Rui hurriedly said: "Alright, I'll shut up!"

Jiang Cheng said in a deep voice: "Empress, take out the will now, the princes have arrived, and it's time to announce the will."

"...Okay." The queen wiped her tears and said slowly: "Then declare the edict!"

"Yes!" Jiang Cheng took out a jade pendant from his bosom.

Prince Rui and the Queen each took out a jade pendant from their bosoms, and Xie Ziying also took out a piece.

The patterns and styles of the four jade pendants are all different.

"Let's go to Cheng Tian Kui." The four of them walked outside the Duanhe Hall, followed by Su Qinghe and Song Yunge.

The three queens glanced at Song Yunge.

Xie Ziying said: "Gu Xian, you are the commander of my guards, the palace is not peaceful."

"Then what about Xie Baixuan?" The queen asked through gritted teeth, her bright and deep eyes showing coldness.

Xie Ziying sighed: "I have already been killed by Gu Xian, I just hate that I came a step late."

The guards in the palace knew about Xie Baixuan's assassination, so there was no need for doubts, let alone the truth.

The queen's bright eyes flickered, and she took a few glances at Song Yunge.

Song Yunge bowed and did not speak.

"It's fine to follow." The queen said lightly.

The three stepped out of the gate of Duanhe Hall.

The queen waved lightly, and waved away a group of women in colorful clothes who had surrounded her, and walked towards the Altar of Prayer with Xie Ziying and the others.

The Temple of Prayer for Heaven is located in the east of Duanhe Hall, a hundred meters away.

Not far away, a group of princes were blocked by a group of guards, unable to get close. When they saw Xie Ziying and the others coming out, they all raised their voices and asked.

"Sister Six, what's the matter?"

"Mother, what's going on? Where's the father?"

"Second Emperor Uncle, how is Father?"

"Where's Xie Baixuan, that rebellious guy? Killing the king and father, the real crime deserves death!"

……

Xie Ziying suddenly turned her head to look over.

The queen took a deep breath and said lightly, "Stop making noise!"

All the princes shut up and stared at her.

The empress looked sad, and said slowly: "The emperor has passed away from the dragon, so we will take out the emperor's edict to see which prince will succeed to the throne. You must not make noise or move around!"

She said lightly: "Guards, none of the princes are allowed to leave, and those who dare to leave by force will be captured immediately!"

"Yes!" All the guards clasped their fists and shouted, the sound was like a bell.

They couldn't stop the emperor from being assassinated, and their fate was worrisome.

The Queen turned and left.

All the princes immediately talked about it.

"Brother Dahuang actually succeeded, what about him?"

"The sixth imperial sister is there."

"Sister Six can beat Big Brother? Just kidding!"

"The Sixth Sister is in charge of the Martial Arts Hall, and there must be strange people under her command, so she may not be able to kill the eldest brother."

"Father, he..."

"I don't know who the father will pass on to!"

"If it's the big brother, the second brother or even the third brother, that's a joke!"

"That's a lot of fun!"

……

Although they are princes, they are still whispering as usual at this time, worrying about gains and losses.

The most relaxed ones are those who have no hope of the throne and have no ambitions for the throne, with a mentality of watching a good show.

As for Xie Sheng's assassination and death, they didn't feel anything. Although they were father and son, they were actually very estranged.

Xie Ziying is the one who has the deepest relationship with the emperor, and the rest of the people don't see each other a few times throughout the year.

Xie Ziying walked slowly and glanced at Song Yunge.

Song Yunge gave her a reassuring look.

The four of them came to an empty round altar, which was exactly the altar of praying for heaven and where Xie Sheng performed the thaumaturgy of praying for heaven.

In the center of the Altar of Prayer for Heaven is a disc facing the sun, on which are painted twelve lifelike animals.

The six people came to the altar of praying for heaven and bowed to the sky.

Song Yunge's face changed slightly.

Suddenly, a giant golden palm appeared above his head, shining brightly.

The four queens could only close their eyes.

"What is this for?!" Jiang Cheng stopped drinking, staring at Song Yunge, not caring about the dazzling golden light.

Song Yunge said in a deep voice: "Empress Empress, Lord Rui, Lord Jiang, please retreat quickly!"

"Gu Xian, what's going on?" Xie Ziying asked hurriedly.

"The Thunder of Yuxiao God is about to fall!" Song Yunge said in a deep voice, "I will be punished for killing the son of Yuxiao God!"

Xie Ziying's complexion changed slightly, she hurriedly picked up the Queen and Lord Jiang, and fluttered back ten meters.

The queen hurriedly said, "Xiao Liu, what's going on?"

Three giant golden palms appeared above Song Yunge's head, one after another arranged up and down, forming a step shape.

Xie Ziying hurriedly said: "Brother Dahuang is the god son of Yu Xiao, if Gu Xian kills him, he will be punished by Yu Xiaotian!"

"God Son Yuxiao?" The queen was even more confused.

Xie Ziying said: "Father used the thaumaturgy of praying to the sky before, originally to turn the world around, but he did not expect to attract the soul of God Son Yuxiao and take away the house of the big emperor, that's why the elder brother killed the father so frantically .”

"Boom!" A purple lightning bolt fell straight down.
