Emperor's Red Makeup: The Duke is too black

Chapter 88 The Ascension Ceremony ([-])

Looking at the heavy imperial guards surrounding Jingrui Hall in the distance, Taba Rui closed his eyes, raised his head, and looked at the sky.

If the sky is dyed bloody, what kind of coquettish and weird will it be?

After today, maybe her hands will be covered with blood, but she can't stop, for the sake of more people's lives, she can only let some people die!
A faint wind blows over and blows on Taba Rui's face, she seems to smell the strange fragrance in the wind, which is exactly the same as the fragrance of the woman sleeping in the mausoleum of the first emperor.

"I won't let you down." She slowly raised the corners of her mouth, opened her eyes, and her eyes were clear and determined.

In the other courtyard outside the imperial capital, the virtuous king was still taking a bath and changing clothes without haste, his face was pale and sickly, but his eyes were filled with ruthless hatred and killing intent.

In the Duke's Mansion, everything is so normal and natural, as if tomorrow's greeting ceremony has nothing to do with anyone in the Duke's Mansion, but the Dragon Soul Guards who usually hide around the Duke's Mansion and are responsible for protecting Huangfu Yao have quietly disappeared. , while their master, at this moment, is sitting calmly and calmly playing chess in the gazebo in the garden.

Play against yourself!
Huangfu Yao dropped the sunspots on the chessboard, his eyes flickered slightly, as if sensing something, he suddenly looked in the direction of the palace, and the corners of his mouth curled up in anticipation.

Little fox, I'm waiting for your amazing talent to shine in the world, don't let me down.

On this day, there are also many people who are very uneasy, some are afraid, some are expecting, some are hesitating, and some are desperate...

Empress Dowager Shengde did not move abnormally today, just stayed in Qianxiang Palace, accompanied by Xiao Lingzi, and sat like this for a long time, until a mysterious person came, making her eyes full of strange emotions. Surprised, but also a touch of disgust.

"You're finally here." She looked at her bright nails with an indifferent tone.

The mysterious man was dressed in red and wore a red scarf, covering his entire face, except for a pair of vicious eyes, he could no longer see any of her expressions clearly.

"Tomorrow is your aunt's great joy. Of course, my niece must come to congratulate me in person. Besides, my father came to beg my niece in person. My niece can only help my aunt reluctantly."

This woman's voice is very sharp, which is very inconsistent with her petite figure, and her voice is always mixed with a trace of death, or in other words, it is resentment or evil spirit.

Empress Dowager Shengde's complexion changed slightly, and she slowly raised her eyes, her eyes shot at the red-clothed woman in front of her like an arrow, and said coldly: "You actually asked your father to beg you?"

There was a hint of reproach in this voice.

The woman laughed softly, "Why, can't you? If he doesn't come to beg me, Auntie, do you think I will appear here?"

"You—" Empress Dowager Shengde was speechless, looking at her coldly.

"Auntie, you don't have to look at me that way. If there is really something that my niece can't handle tomorrow, my niece will not die with my aunt in this cold and ruthless palace. At that time, please don't think my niece is unfilial." The woman in red said lightly, her eyes were indifferent.

"The Ai family doesn't expect you to do anything, just help the Ai family stop the people around the emperor."

"That's good. If my aunt loses tomorrow, I'm afraid my Lu family will be expelled here in Dayan. My niece hopes that my aunt will not ruin the glory of the Lu family for generations. Otherwise, the ancestors of the Lu family may also die." I won't rest in peace." The woman in red looked at the Empress Dowager Shengde strangely, as if she didn't care about what happened tomorrow, but every word she said was digging into the Empress Dowager Shengde's heart.

Blood dripping, but also full of reminders and warnings.

The Empress Dowager Shengde didn't know what would happen to the Lu family if she failed, but after so many years of planning, she was unwilling to give up, and she had no way to turn back.

"Go down and have a good rest. If the Lu family is wiped out, the Ai family thinks, you will not be able to escape this fate." The Empress Dowager Shengde seemed a little tired, and waved her hand, signaling the woman in red to go down.

The woman in red stood up, looked deeply at the Empress Dowager Shengde, and then said: "No, I have nothing to do with the Lu family."

"Blood is thicker than water. No matter what you do, you will be a member of the Lu family all your life. Even if you die, you must be a ghost of my Lu family." The Empress Dowager Shengde looked back at her with a gloomy gaze, and said word by word.

"Really?" After she finished speaking, she stopped looking into the Empress Dowager Shengde's eyes and strode out of the hall.

Looking at her back, the Empress Dowager Shengde narrowed her eyes, and suddenly sighed softly, and the whole Qianxiang Palace fell into a quiet and solemn atmosphere again.

In a hidden corner of the palace, the first-class female officer next to the Empress Dowager Shengde, Hong Yan, was solemnly waiting for someone.

"Tomorrow, Empress Dowager Shengde will take the opportunity to lure King Ning to besiege the palace, and His Majesty will be killed at that time. The murderer is King Ning who intends to rebel. The Empress Dowager will take advantage of His Majesty's death to control the palace and the officials. Support the Fourth Highness to ascend the throne." Hong Yan whispered to the outside of the palace wall.

There was no sound from that side. If it wasn't for her strong martial arts and deep internal energy, she could detect the slight breathing sound over there, and she would definitely think that the man had left.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, a hoarse voice finally came from the other side. Although he couldn't tell who it was, he could guess that it was a man's voice.

He said: "Ambassadors from several countries will definitely appear tomorrow, you must take this opportunity to get rid of Shi Yuan, the special envoy of Dashi Kingdom."

Hong Yan paused, then nodded, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Under the clear sky, the gloomy and treacherous imperial palace is gradually full of eerie and weird smells of calculation and conspiracy, and all storms are coming...

In Dayan's court celebration ceremony this year, envoys from three big countries and many small countries came to congratulate them. Among the big countries, Princess Fu Yezhao of the Jin Kingdom was the leader, followed by Wang Yuanlei, the ceremonial lord of the Jin Kingdom, and Yue Lan, the small princess of the Yue Kingdom. Son, among the many affiliated small countries and the affiliated countries of other countries, only Shiyuan of the Dashi Kingdom caught Tatba Rui's eyes.

In the early hours of the morning, the imperial palace was already full of excitement. The maids and eunuchs began to prepare for the food and entertainment programs for the upcoming court ceremony under the orders of the master. However, in Fengyi Palace, Concubine Shu looked very serious. Her personal maid, Qiu Lan, stood by carefully, not daring to disturb her.

Concubine Shu lowered her eyebrows, and after a while, she slowly asked: "Qiulan, tell me, can the emperor succeed today?"

She is looking forward to his success, but she is also afraid that he will fail. Even though she knows that the man she fell in love with is not someone in the pool, she still worries and is afraid!
