Chapter 728 The Emperor Dies
Xue Chengcheng slowly broke away from his hand.

She was indifferent and vicious, "It was not my wish to enter the palace and come to you. These days, every time I see you, I can't wait to tear you apart! Now that I hear what happened back then from you, it's even more so. It makes me sick! Yuan Xiao, I entered the palace to send you to hell, you have occupied his things for so many years, you should pay them back!"

She took a few steps back, staring at Yuan Xiao's Jianshuiqiu eyes with scarlet hatred.

That kind of hatred can't dissipate with the passage of time, on the contrary, they are like thorns growing in the dark, spreading and growing silently, never stopping for a moment!
She cursed Yuan Xiao to die for 22 years!
Now that her wish was about to be fulfilled, she felt a sense of lightness spontaneously emanating from her limbs.

She likes the feeling of revenge!

Yuan Xiao stared at her in a daze.

After a long time, he lowered his eyelashes and began to cough violently.

Gradually he coughed up a lot of blood, and the dark red blood stains spilled on the brand-new bright yellow satin surface, dyeing the golden Yingchun embroidery pattern into deep red.

He looked at the bloody winter jasmine, his vision gradually blurred.

He still remembered that when he first met Xue Chengcheng, it was in the early spring when the flowers were in full bloom.

She is the youngest girl in the Xue family. She entered the palace with her mother for the first time to attend a banquet, but accidentally got lost in the imperial garden.

The few princes were sitting in the building playing chess, she broke in unexpectedly, her panicked eyes were like a frightened deer in the woods, purer and cleaner than crystal, instantly lighting up the whole building.

She was wearing a jacket skirt with a stand-up collar embroidered with winter jasmine flowers, and her small hands were twisted nervously on her chest. She was so delicate and beautiful that it was outrageous.

Before that, he didn't believe in love at first sight.

It can be seen that after seeing her, he was tempted instantly.

The little girl said softly, "I, I, I, I...I want to find my mother..."

Facing several strange young men, she blushed and her dark eyelashes trembled violently.

When he was young, he was the most mean-spirited, and couldn't help laughing: "You, you, you, you... who is your mother?"

The brothers suddenly burst into laughter.

The little girl's face was so red that it was almost bleeding, she lowered her head deeply and dared not speak.

"Is it a girl from the Xue family?" The crown prince put down the white jade chess piece and got up with a smile, "It looks a bit like Mrs. Xue. The female relatives are all gathered in the Penglai Pavilion, so I will take you there."

He watched helplessly as the prince and brother took the little girl away.

The little girl was petite and tender, following behind the prince and brother carefully, like a soft and cute little tail.

After the palace banquet was over, the prince and brother asked his father to marry him and the little girl.

It wasn't until that time that he realized that the girl's name was Xue Chengcheng.

Unfortunately, at that time he had lost her.

The little girl's jacket and skirt embroidered with winter jasmine flowers vaguely appeared in front of her eyes.

Yuan Xiao raised his sleeve to wipe away the blood stains on his lips, and looked at Xue Chengcheng silently.

Just as he was no longer the dandy and indulgent prince, she was no longer that fresh and innocent little girl.

She is still beautiful, but her clear eyes are full of vicissitudes and resentment.

They finally parted ways...

Yuan Xiao suddenly spit out a big mouthful of dirty blood, and fell on the bed in a daze!
The dormitory was silent.

Su Jiu looked at Xue Chengcheng.

The woman's vermilion lips slowly curled into a smile.

That smile gradually grew larger, like a demon, arrogant and willful.

She started laughing, but tears rolled down her cheeks.

It seems to be weeping with joy.

"Brother Prince...he is dead...he finally died..."

She confided in a low voice to the void, covered her mouth while crying and stepped out of the bedroom.

From beginning to end, he refused to take another look at Yuan Xiao.

The summer wind passed through the flower window, blowing the beaded curtains to rattle.

Su Jiu stood there blankly, a little at a loss.

Since entering Chang'an, she has experienced many storms and waves, and even experienced being forced into the palace.

But alone, he has never experienced the death of the emperor...

The girl frowned, and slowly took off the pearl hairpins in her hair, leaving only a plain silver hairpin.

She stepped out of the bedroom slowly.

Standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back, Rong Zheng heard her footsteps and turned his head to look over, "Sister Su's face is so pale, but what happened inside? I just saw that Concubine Xue left with a smile and tears."

Su Jiu lowered his eyelashes.

"Sister Su?"

"The emperor..." Su Jiu's throat was so dry and hoarse, "He passed away..."

Rong Zheng's eyebrows twitched suddenly!
He had calculated that the emperor would die, but not now!

According to the properties of the poison Xue Chengcheng used, at least it would take another three to five days!
And three to five days later, the Empress Dowager will return with her aunt and the Ninth Prince. The princes in the palace have already been killed by him, and the Ninth Prince can logically ascend the throne as the emperor!

The man's face was cold, he was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Come here."

Several confidant ladies came over immediately and respectfully saluted him.

"Put more ice cubes in the Qianhe Palace, the more the better." He ordered in a cold voice.

The maids went to do it immediately, Su Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to keep it secret?"

Now it is the hottest summer, she understands that filling the bedroom with ice cubes can delay the decay of the emperor's corpse.

Rong Zheng stretched out his hand to smooth out Su Jiu's slightly messy hair, "Sister Su is very smart and can always understand my purpose. After three to five days, when the Ninth Prince returns to the palace, everything will be over perfectly."

Su Jiu avoided his hand.

There was a bit of coolness in Lu's eyes, and she looked at Rong Zheng with more sympathy.

She knew Xiao Tingchen, and she knew Rong Zheng even better.

Just as she can think of Rong Zheng's purpose, she can also think that Xiao Tingchen will never let it go, it is impossible for him to give up the throne that he is about to get.

That man may commit a foolish plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but he will not be stupid for two days.

She looked into the distance.

Sunset rays of light spread across the sky, luxuriant and gorgeous.

In the depths of the glow, there are dark clouds rolling faintly, as if there are thousands of troops and the power of thunder.

She tugged at the tie, feeling a sense of peace for some reason.

She believed that that man would come back soon!

……

dozens of miles away.

It was getting late, and the army set up camp at the foot of the mountain.

The big tent in the middle was already lit, and Xiao Tingchen was wearing ivory silk pajamas, sitting lazily on a pear wood rocking chair, fanning himself slowly with a cattail fan in one hand.

He squinted his peach blossom eyes, probably because of the heat before the rainstorm, he couldn't help reaching out to unbutton a few buttons of his pajamas.

The mountain wind rolled up the curtains and blew out several lights.

The light and shadow were dim, and the man clicked his lips, always feeling that something was wrong.

When he went out yesterday, Su Xiaojiu abandoned Tianshu and ran away for a whole day before coming back. Who did she go to see?
Although Xie Rongjing's cronies were badly injured and disgraced, but now that I think about it carefully, the words they used to report the situation on the frontier battlefield were more like memorized by rote than what they saw with their own eyes.

Were those guys really sent back from the frontier by Xie Rongjing?
Xie Rongjing was stubborn as hell, and he was extremely hostile to him, would he send his cronies all the way back to ask for help? !
