Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 793 The Empress Is Dead
"Why?"

Yan Mu looked at Shangguanxu amusedly, "I have been by your side since I was a child, watching you kill Zhongliang, harm the common people, and watch you plot and plot. He enjoys pleasure, disregarding the country and society, I have his blood on my body, why should I be an upright person."

Shangguan Xu looked deeply at Yan Mu, "You are also a father now, Yan'er will learn from you, just like you learned from me, do you want him to struggle and suffer like you?"

Yan Mu froze for a moment, he thought of the two children and Liu Yunxiang.He can become a rotten person, he doesn't care, but he is a father and a husband, so it is his responsibility as a man not to let himself rotten.

He let out a long breath slowly, and tapped his forehead with his fist.

"You don't deserve to tell me these things, but I listened to what you said and took it to heart." After speaking, Yan Mu took a step forward.

Watching Yan Mu walk away, Shangguan Xu couldn't help coughing, took out the veil, but saw a lot of blood on the veil.He frowned, feeling dizzy for a while, so he leaned on the tree next to him to stand still.

In the middle of the night, Yan Mu heard movement outside the house, and subconsciously took out the short dagger that was placed under the pillow.At this time, the door was knocked, and several bangs and bangs broke the tranquility of the night.

"Your Highness, wake up, something has happened."

Yan Mu closed his clothes and sat up, "What happened?"

"The empress hanged herself in the punishment department, and the Fourth Highness was so frightened that she passed out. The emperor is in Rumengxuan, and ordered you to deal with this matter."

"understood."

Yan Mu sat on the edge of the bed and asked the guards to lock the queen and the fourth prince together, he had expected this result.The queen was so proud, she might be able to grit her teeth and endure the torture, but she couldn't bear to let her son see her in a mess.As for Qin Shengrui, he is a coward, he would be scared to death just by seeing the queen's miserable state.

The emperor imprisoned the empress to the punishment department because he didn't want the news to spread, in order to save the face of himself and the royal family.That being the case, Yan Mu released the news that the queen died of illness, and at the same time held a funeral for her according to the queen's specifications, which was a little simpler.

In the next few days, Yan Mu was busy with the queen's funeral, but the emperor didn't go to court or show up, and stayed with Meng Guiren in Rumeng Pavilion, which can be described as singing every night.

After the queen's funeral was over, news came out from the fourth prince's residence, saying that the fourth prince had gone crazy.

When Yan Mu heard this, he just smiled, "If he wants to go crazy, let him go crazy."

On Liu Yunxiang's side, they walked for half a month from the capital to Yanzhou, and they finally arrived outside Yanzhou.

"Sleep here tonight, and we will enter the city tomorrow morning." Li Zhu put down his words and went to the woods to collect firewood.

Zijin tied up the horse, and then patrolled around.

Liu Yunxiang helped Qu Moran settle down Qu Xing, then got out of the carriage, and they sat down around the fire with Qu Yi.

"Yun Xiang, you were delayed for several days on the road with us." Qu Moran said embarrassedly.

Halfway there, Qu Xing fell ill, and they had to stay in a nearby town, so they were delayed for a few days.

"No problem." Liu Yunxiang said while taking out dry food to share with Qu Moran's mother and son, "By the way, we will temporarily separate when we enter the city tomorrow. You go to Qu Xing's hometown, and Zijin and I go to the government office."

Qu Moran nodded, "Okay, although I don't know what you are doing in Yanzhou, but be careful in everything."

"Well, it's the same for you. We'll visit you after we've dealt with the matter here."

"it is good."

Li Zhu picked up a large bundle of firewood, and after adding a few more, he sat down next to Qu Yi, and first helped him bake dry food, and he ate a piece himself.Then he went to the carriage to get a blanket, gave Qu Moran one, and wrapped the remaining one around himself, then put Qu Yi in his arms, and the two of them lay down on their sides, ready to sleep.

"Brother Zhu, I'm going to town tomorrow, can I have a chicken leg?"

"I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

"Eating dry food for the past few days has made me lose weight."

"Obviously full of fat."

"Impossible, it's all bones if you touch it."

"What about here?"

"That's my ass, of course it has meat!"

The two chattered in a low voice, but gradually they fell silent.

Qu Moran leaned on the tree trunk with peace of mind, and didn't need to look after Qu Xing. If there was any movement in Qu Xing, Li Zhu would go there. Don't worry about Qu Yi, Li Zhu hugged him to sleep.She is not afraid of the cold at night, because Li Zhu will wrap her tightly in the blanket from time to time.

She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep too.

Liu Yunxiang was leaning on the other side, but she didn't feel sleepy at this moment. I don't know if it was because she was approaching Yanzhou City or because the road was going so smoothly. In short, she was very disturbed at the moment.

"Girl, our people sent a message just now, and we have found Daoist Hongxuan. Let us go to Wanchun Garden in the west of Yanzhou City tomorrow." Zijin actually went to meet with the person they sent out.

Qu Xing fell ill on the way, so in order not to delay the matter, Liu Yunxiang sent a few guards around him to go to Yanzhou first.

"Is there any news about Xue Changfeng?"

Zijin shook his head, "No."

"None is not bad news."

"The Daoist also said so."

Liu Yunxiang sighed, closed his eyes, "Go to sleep first."

At night, Liu Yunxiang was already in a deep sleep, and was suddenly awakened by the sound of fighting. She opened her eyes, and by the moonlight, she saw that Zijin was fighting with a man in black.

The moves of the two were extremely fierce, and Zijin was already injured.

"Yunxiang!"

Qu Moran dragged Qu Yi to run in front of Liu Yunxiang, Qu Yi was still asleep, rubbing his eyes and yawning.Liu Yunxiang glanced behind them, but did not see Li Zhu.

"Where's Li Zhu?"

Qu Moran shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't see him when I opened my eyes."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the man in black again, he seemed to be a little impatient, and moved towards Zijin's vitals, because he was too eager, revealing many flaws, Zijin seized the opportunity, first hurt his arm, and then kicked him in the chest kick.

The man in black staggered back two steps. At this moment, he caught sight of Liu Yunxiang, made a feint, and then went straight to stab Liu Yunxiang.

"Yunxiang! Be careful!"

Liu Yunxiang staggered two steps back, at this moment, a thin figure passed by, the man in black was hit hard, and retreated far away.Liu Yunxiang was still in shock, turned around and saw that it was Xiaosan.

The kid looked at her and hummed, then he and Zijin flanked the man in black from left to right.The man in black was very skilled in martial arts, and he didn't lose a fight against the two of them. He just wanted to hurt Liu Yunxiang, and he also had no chance.

After fighting for hundreds of moves, the man in black finally gave up and took the opportunity to escape.

Zijin breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his chin at Xiaosan, "I've been waiting for you all the way, and you're finally here."

Xiao San pouted, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to look for you."

"then you?"

"Yanzhou has my second home, can't I go home?"

"Uh, okay."

Liu Yunxiang ran over and asked if they were injured.

Zijin shook his head, "It's okay, it's a minor injury, but girl, this man in black is an old acquaintance of ours."
