After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"We have already reached this point. Does Your Majesty think there is anything else that I dare not do?" Xiao Jinzhi looked at Xiao Emperor quietly, his tone was as usual, but it made the hairs on his back stand up.

"How dare you!" Emperor Xiao subconsciously took two steps back, "Even if I did something wrong back then, after all, you have been raised under my knees for so many years, and now you suddenly tell the world that you are the son of the late emperor, you How many people would believe it! If you dare to attack me, it will be regicide and treason!"

As soon as the words "regicide and patricide" came out, Chu Huanyan's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

She couldn't help but think of the rumors she heard in her previous life after Xiao Jinzhi ascended the throne. Now, she finally understood why such rumors spread.

She instinctively held Xiao Jinzhi's hand and spoke secretly in her heart.

Fortunately, no matter whether such rumors would spread again in this life, I would always be by Xiao Jinzhi's side and face them together.

Feeling the warm touch from his palm, Xiao Jinzhi looked sideways at Chu Huanyan and curled his lips into a smile.

The moment their eyes met, although no one spoke, the firmness in each other's eyes could not be clearer.

"So what if you kill the king and kill your father." Xiao Jinzhi moved his eyes towards Xiao Emperor with ridicule and fearlessness, "Not to mention that Gu had no intention of being famous for generations. What's more, there are so many civil and military officials here today. With the late Emperor’s handwritten blood letter, the Emperor might as well worry about his own reputation first.”

After the words fell, Xiao Jinzhi suddenly laughed again and added playfully.

"Oh, that's right. Nowadays, reputation is nothing to the emperor. After all, he can't even save his life."

Emperor Xiao's face turned green and white. He looked at the men in black who were stopped by the imperial guards, and then at the courtiers who fell on the ground but still stared at him with eyes full of condemnation.

At this moment, he understood that he had no way forward.

"It seems that you have already made preparations. Today, Fengtian Palace will be the place where I will die."

"Yes." Xiao Jinzhi admitted frankly, "I think it has been too long for my old friend to wait for the emperor to come forward and redeem his sins for so many years."

The late emperor, Concubine Mei...

Although he couldn't immediately change his words and call them his father and mother, they were his blood relatives, and they had planned every possible way and sacrificed their lives to keep him alive.

And now, it's time for the person who killed them to go down and apologize to them!
  "Old friend, atone for your sins..." Emperor Xiao suddenly smiled, "I did lose today, but this does not mean that I did something wrong!"

"It seems that at this moment, the Emperor still has no intention of repenting." Chu Huanyan said in a deep voice.

"Why should you repent? Since you were born in the royal family, you will naturally have to fight for this position!"

Emperor Xiao straightened his back and spoke sharply.

"Back then, my father favored my brother. Even though my talents and abilities were not inferior to my brother's, just because he was born before me, my father passed the throne to him without hesitation, even regardless of his inherent talent. He is born with a weak body. Since he is unwilling to pass the throne to me, then I will grab it myself!"

After the emperor's brother ascended the throne, he had not thought about being a prince and assisting the emperor. However, watching the civil and military officials paying homage to him every day, and watching everyone surrender at the feet of the emperor, he also thought about the supreme position. Have to sit on it.

Even though everything has been exposed now, he has still been the emperor for so many years. Even if he could do it over again, he would still make the same choice.

As the last word fell, Emperor Xiao's eyes turned hard, he suddenly pressed the hook on his waist, drew out a soft sword, and stabbed Xiao Jinzhi.

Even if he died, he would kill Xiao Jinzhi!

Emperor Xiao was filled with hatred, but before the soft sword could touch Xiao Jinzhi, he was beaten back by Qin Li.

Although he has learned kung fu for many years, as an emperor these years, he has been protected by others at all times. In addition, as he is getting older, Emperor Xiao's martial arts have already deteriorated too much.

Xiao Jinzhi stood there and looked at Xiao Emperor, who was stumbling back and barely able to stand still, "Why is there such a desperate struggle?"

Thinking about it, the thing that Emperor Xiao regrets most now is probably not using all possible means to kill himself before.

After being beaten, he retreated in embarrassment and stood still. Emperor Xiao's whole body was full of desperate anger, just when he clenched his sword and planned to take action again. Concubine Xue spoke again, "Your Majesty, give up."

Emperor Xiao's hand holding the sword suddenly trembled. He turned to look at Concubine Xue, and said bitterly: "Zhi'er, you clearly said that you would stand by my side no matter what, and you even swore an oath."

Concubine Xue looked at Emperor Xiao. There was a deathly silence all over her body. She nodded slowly, "Yes, I have no intention of breaking my oath."

The next moment, he pulled out the phoenix hairpin on his head, and before everyone could recover, he stabbed the phoenix hairpin into his heart without hesitation.

"Zhi'er!"

"Your Majesty's Concubine!"

Emperor Xiao and Chu Huanyan spoke almost at the same time.

No one expected that Concubine Xue would suddenly commit suicide.

Qiu Shuang, who was originally guarding under the high platform, suddenly changed her expression when she saw this scene. She ran up to the high platform in a hurry without caring about her identity and etiquette.

"My lady..."

"Zhi'er, you..." Xiao Emperor looked at Concubine Xue in shock. After coming back to his senses, he immediately stepped forward to support her, "You, why did you..."

The phoenix robe on Concubine Xue's chest was wet with blood. She fell into Emperor Xiao's arms and looked at him intently.

"Since I have sworn an oath, I will not go back on it. Since the Emperor has no way out, I will give you this life as compensation. From now on... we will not owe each other anything."

Emperor Xiao was holding Concubine Xue in a daze. His heart was so complicated that he didn't even know what to say. He just looked at the person in his arms blankly.

Qiu Shuang knelt aside, tears falling down heavily, "Mother, why are you so stupid? What do you want me to do..."

"Leave the palace and live the rest of your life well."

Concubine Xue looked at Qiu Shuang and smiled, looking far away, as if she wanted to cross the high palace wall and look at the free wind outside.

It was only later that she figured out that what she wanted most in her life was not love, but freedom.

At the beginning, she was willing to elope and leave, not only because of love, but because she wanted to leave the palace wall that trapped people and become a free person.

But in the end, she was still trapped for a lifetime, and even hurt others...

"Empress..." Qiu Shuang held Concubine Xue's hand tightly and choked with sobs.

Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi looked at this situation with complicated eyes. They understood that Concubine Xue had probably already thought about this moment and was unwilling to continue living.

Concubine Xue's eyes gradually became blurry, but the smile on her lips continued to expand, and she spoke softly.

"Qiu Shuang, remember to take a look at the scenery outside for me, and I... am finally free."

As the words fell, Concubine Xue slowly closed her eyes, smiling and losing her breath.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!" Qiu Shuang cried bitterly.

Emperor Xiao looked at Concubine Xue, his eyes were red, but he did not shed tears after all.

"That's all, that's all..." Emperor Xiao closed his eyes, hiding the pain in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Zhi'er, you and I are done with each other!" (End of this chapter)
