Chapter 352 The Tragedy Behind the Illusion

Although Yu Wenxin's enthronement ceremony was not as glorious and glorious as imagined, and thousands of people bowed down, but under the pressure of his power, fame and fortune and the "if you don't follow, you will die", some officials really re-entered the palace. Make him your lord.

After the Ministry of Rites went through one procedure after another, Yu Wenxin did not change the country name of the Great Zhou, but still proclaimed himself Emperor Meiji on the grounds of inheriting the blood of the Great Zhou royal family.

His reason is very good, because the empress is the granddaughter of Emperor Chonghua, and the people in the Ministry of Rituals traced back to the source to find similar historical examples to prove that this incident was in compliance with the rules, and it was not considered treason.

But I don't know where the roots are traced, and where the source is traced.

Fanyin was still in the empty palace listening to the maid talking about the enthronement ceremony, which was also specially ordered by Yu Wenxin, as if she had to know clearly.

"Finish?" Seeing that the maid stopped, Sanskrit said, "Drink your saliva to moisten your throat after you finish speaking. If you talk too much about this kind of thing, your throat will become callused."

Gong Nai froze, wanted to say something but quickly shut her mouth.

"Are you that scared? I'm going to be suffocated if I don't even want to say a word." Sanskrit's complaint made the palace maid sigh, "The old slave didn't dare to say too much. In the morning, a little eunuch asked me too much. Just one sentence and he was shot."

"Killed?" Sanskrit blinked in astonishment, "He has been executed, who will serve him?"

Gong Nai bit her lip and refused to speak again, Fan Yin could only sit alone.

She wanted to talk to someone because she always thought of the child and Zhong Xingyan in her heart. Waiting was suffering, and she was afraid that the longer she waited, the stronger the anxiety in her heart would be.

If she really has an emotional loophole, she will be easily grasped by Yu Wenxin.

She absolutely didn't want Zhong Xingyan to make concessions because of herself, because his concession was likely to risk her life.

If she wants to let him exchange her life, she might as well smash her head to death, but she always misses the child and him in her heart, Yu Wenxin doesn't have time to attack herself for the time being, why not wait a little longer?
I just wish them all the best...

At this time, Zhong Xingqi led the army and had already reached the gate of Jingzhong City.

Wang Gonggong was also very anxious, because there was no reply to the news that he sent him to the palace. First, he was afraid that he would really lose face. Second, if there was really no news, could it be that there was something in the capital? ambush?
Wouldn't it be too dangerous to attack the capital like this?
Thinking in this way, Wang Gonggong trotted a few steps and rushed to Zhong Xingqi's side, "Vice General Zhong, is there any news from Beijing?"

"No." Zhong Xingqi only waited to get in touch with Zhong Xingyan to make a plan to enter the palace, and had no intention of talking to him.

Wang Gonggong felt cold in his heart, he clicked his lips and said: "Then should we wait? There is no news from the capital, what if it is a trap?"

"It's a trap, if it's really a trap, the door would have been opened long ago to welcome you in, would you still shrink back like a thief?" Zhong Xingqi was full of impatience, "Go aside, don't make trouble here , you bloody eunuch didn't make enough trouble?"

"You..." Eunuch Wang raised his throat and almost fainted from anger. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "Our family is kind enough to treat you like a donkey's liver and lungs, never say it again, never say it again!"

"Report!"

A soldier in the front hurried over and delivered a letter, "It was sent by an old man who just left the city, and he said he was going to give it to the prince."

Zhong Xingqi was taken aback, then turned to look at Wang Gonggong who had already left, "Bring the old eunuch back and let him open it to see what it is."

Hearing what the soldiers said, Wang Gonggong immediately became happy. He looked at Zhong Xingqi from the corner of his eyes, and he walked back with the object, and said arrogantly: "Now Vice-General Zhong thinks our family is useful?"

"Stop talking nonsense, there's no time for you to waste your time, talk quickly." Zhong Xingqi scolded, Wang Gonggong was unwilling in his heart, but he didn't dare to waste time at this time, breaking open the thing that looked like a steamed bun Break it open, inside is a very small ball of wax, take off the hair pin on the top of the head and poke it, revealing the note inside.

The prince couldn't wait to open it, and his face turned completely green, "The prince is dead, the princess and everyone in the palace have been killed, even the king of Yue... Yu Wenxin, Yu Wenxin actually ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, He also said that he is the heir of the Great Zhou, this bastard, how could he be so shameless!"

"Mrs. Zhong was taken into the palace and locked up. She is fine for the time being." The prince said with a sigh of relief, "It is true that he is recruiting people to work in the palace. The palace...has lost even half of the servants."

Zhong Xingqi gritted his teeth and ordered: "Wait for Zhong Xingyan's order, and be ready to attack the city at any time!"

Zhong Xinglian is the most anxious person in the mansion at this time.

He never thought that Yu Wenxin would kill the King of Yue and proclaim himself emperor alone!
Then the fact that he defected to the King of Yue before became a joke?He entangled Zhong Xingyan and asked Yu Wenxin to surround Yang Huailiu. Wouldn't it be Yu Wenxin who finally helped instead of King Yue?
Zhong Xinglian only felt that his mind was in a mess, he couldn't tell what he had become, let alone what would happen to him in the future.

Yu Wenxin sent soldiers to various mansions to invite court officials to attend the enthronement ceremony, but no one came to Zhong's house, let alone him.

Did he forget his own existence?

Or maybe...he planned to deny it?
Zhong Xinglian's heart was on fire, and he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, Fang rushed in from the outside in a hurry, saw Zhong Xinglian was there, and immediately said: "Why did the third daughter-in-law and the child suddenly leave? Do you know why?"

"Gone? Where did they go?" Zhong Xinglian was stunned, Fang jumped up and said, "How do I know where they went, otherwise I would come to ask you."

Zhong Xinglian's eyes flickered, and he asked anxiously, "Did they leave by themselves, or were they picked up?"

"I don't know." Fang spread his hands and asked what he didn't know, Zhong Xinglian was furious, "I don't know, I don't know, what do you know? If you don't know, you won't ask? You are a fool!"

"I...I'm an idiot?" Fang pointed to her nose, "Zhong Xinglian, don't you know how to think about it? What's going on outside now, why don't you think about your family? Zhong Xingyan's whereabouts are unknown. Zhong Xingqi didn't write a letter to you at all, and now that Mrs. Tian suddenly left with her family without a sound, isn't that just leaving us here to die?"

"Didn't you have a relationship with Yu Wenxin? If he doesn't send someone to find you, you won't go to him?" Fang grabbed Zhong Xinglian's arm and shook it, "What are you still thinking about, first, keep your family Let's talk about your life!"

"Don't instigate me here, what do you know? The Zhong family's name is here, who else can Yu Wenxin turn to besides me to help Liwei?" Zhong Xinglian threw Fang's hand away, "Stop making trouble here, get out!"

"I'm going, I'm going to take the child and go!"

After Fang said that, he left in a huff, Zhong Xinglian sat down on the chair feeling uneasy, and comforted himself hypnotically: "Yu Wenxin will definitely value me, otherwise he will not be able to achieve great things, he will definitely not be able to achieve..."

Fanyin was eating food and drinking warm tea in the palace at this time.

Although Yu Wenxin ordered the palace maid to guard her and not allow her to wander around at will, but there was no shortage of food and drink, and Sanskrit was not tortured inhumanly.

This is not a good thing.

Persecution will cause resistance and resistance in people's hearts, and generous treatment will gradually eliminate the guard in people's hearts and make them more numb.

This kind of method is more terrible than torture, Sanskrit is secretly admonishing himself in his heart, to sit silently after eating, so that there is nothing in his heart to calm down.

All she needed now was to wait, to wait for them to come.

While reciting silently in the mouth, suddenly there was a burst of noise outside, followed by a burst of wild laughter, floating in the empty palace was particularly ear-piercing, making one's heart tremble involuntarily.

The sound got closer and closer, and the door was knocked open with a "boom"!

Sanskrit looked over there, but it was Xiaoya who came in... She looked like a lunatic, although she was smiling, but her smile was so hysterical, like a hungry wolf.

"Yang Huailiu, what do you think of Bengong's court dress as a queen? Hahaha, Bengong, I never thought that I would call myself like this one day. Should I be happy? Should I be laughing?"

Xiaoya laughed a few times and stopped suddenly, "Why don't you speak? Are you laughing at me?"

"Why should I laugh at you?" Sanskrit was still immersed in the scriptures just now, but her soft words and plain expression made Princess Xiaoya very displeased, "You are just laughing at me, and I actually killed you The enemy of my whole family is the queen, and they laugh at me for disregarding my shame and acknowledgment of family ties, and I want to see him ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and recognize his identity..."

"Yang Huailiu, today I really understand that I am a loser, but I don't understand why I treat him so caringly, but still can't compare to your position in his heart?" Wipe it clean, "I'm just a tool to be used, he just wants to use me!"

"You really overestimated me."

There was no expression on Fanyin's face, "He came to me because of Zhong Xingyan. He wanted to compare with everyone and compete with everyone. He felt that this would prove that he is strong."

"I didn't laugh at you at all. I'm still a person imprisoned who doesn't know how to live or die. I laugh at your maternity world? Unless I'm crazy."

"I can't do this, I absolutely can't do this."

Xiaoya suddenly ran around the room like crazy, "If I continue like this, how will I explain to my father and mother when I go underground? How will I treat my aunt and grandmother? I can't do this, I absolutely can't do this!"

After finishing speaking, she ran out the door like crazy.

A group of court ladies and eunuchs followed closely behind, and in an instant, the original calm was restored in the house.

Seeing Xiaoya's current appearance, Fanyin suddenly felt that she was in no mood at all. Shouldn't she be happy to see the suffering of these people?
But why do I feel nothing in my heart?
Before she could think about it, Yu Wenxin hurried in from outside, looked at Sanskrit and asked, "Xiaoya just came? What did she say to you?"
