Moonlight Allure

Chapter 146 Closing
Seeing this scene, Luo Qingyan felt a little emotional.Although Yang Lanxu was cruel and greedy for profit, she still had some sincerity towards Xiao Mingjing.It is said that a couple of one night has a hundred days of grace, and a couple of one night is like the depths of the sea.But I don't know how deep the love between husband and wife in the imperial family... can be.

Glancing at Xiao Mingjing, he saw that his black pupils were as deep as ink, and his resolute and stylish cheeks were as cold as ice.She closed her eyes and lowered her eyes, sighing in her heart, as expected - the most ruthless emperor's family!What's more, it can be said that Xiao Mingjing has no love for this queen at all.The last time the Empress and Xiao Ningxuan controlled the palace, Xiao Mingjing had already become murderous towards these two.What happened tonight was just a reason for Xiao Mingjing to get rid of the Yang family in an open and honest manner.

Perhaps, what happened tonight was in his favor.She always felt that it was inconceivable that the queen's party could be captured so smoothly.In the early years, Xiao Mingjing was the imperial charioteer himself, and his martial arts skills were good, so how could it be so easy for people to sneak up and plot against him?What's more, based on her understanding of the queen mother, the queen mother is a very shrewd woman, how could she not guess the wolfish ambitions of Yang Lanxu and others?Furthermore, they cleaned up Xiao Ningxuan's people, and the imperial palace that was surrounded before seemed to be lifted as if the ban was lifted, and the imperial guards who originally guarded the imperial city immediately cleaned up the affairs.All of this is so fast that people feel unimaginable, but it is reasonable.

Xiao Ningxuan sent someone to transport gunpowder into the palace before, so it is naturally impossible for Xiao Mingjing not to notice.At that time, she and Xiao Ziqi found gunpowder and destroyed it in time, but how big is this palace?It is impossible for the two of them to destroy all the gunpowder in a short time.Then there is only one possibility, that someone is secretly helping them.Moreover, all parts of the palace were intact, only the Qingning Palace was blown up to ashes, it was obvious that this person hated Yao Sihan to the bone.

To be able to arrange all of this seamlessly without knowing it, how powerful must the person behind this... be?Originally, she suspected that this person was Xiao Mingjing or the Queen Mother, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was unlikely.At that time, he had no time to care about anything else.

Thinking about it carefully, when she first discovered the gunpowder, it was a man in black who caught her attention, and she followed the clues to find the clue.Now it seems that that person must have lured her past on purpose.

But who is this person?

When she frowned and thought, a light suddenly flashed across her mind.By the way, where is Xiao Moli?Why is he not here at this time?Or, the man in black was his.

That being the case, then the palace should be full of his talents, how could he easily put the Queen Mother in danger?
In fact, she knew very well that tonight, the queen mother was deliberately controlled by the queen and others to let them relax their guard.This was originally a trick set up by Xiao Mingjing, so that he could catch a turtle in one urn.Even if you use your own piano mother as a chess piece...

She lowered her eyes, with irony in her eyes.It seems that Xiao Mingjing's filial piety towards the Queen Mother is nothing more than that.However, judging from his attitude towards the queen and Yao Sihan today, he seems to have doubts about the truth of Concubine Yan's death.And Xiao Moli also...

Her heart skipped a beat, it turned out she wasn't the only one who thought so.In this deep palace, it is the place where people's hearts are devoured the most, and nothing is impossible.How could the Empress Dowager rush to the Imperial Study Room overnight after such an accident?As for Xiao Mingjing's attitude towards her just now, it seemed that he didn't want the Queen Mother to intervene too much in this matter.Or he doesn't want the Queen Mother to interrupt him to find out the truth about Concubine Yan's death...

His brows were furrowed, and his heart suddenly ached.If the facts are as she guessed, then...She lowered her head, and no one saw her. At this moment, her face was bloodless, and there was an unspeakable pain and sadness in her eyes...

He was immersed in his own thoughts, but Xiao Mingjing above finally spoke.

"Come on, the empress, as the head of the central palace, has lost her virtue in the harem, and even more in the world. It is a great treason to co-operate with courtiers and deceive traitors. Today, I have issued an imperial decree to abolish her as empress. In addition, I thought about being married to him for many years, so I couldn't bear the death penalty and let him commit suicide."

Yang Lanxu's mouth twitched into a smile, not surprised by such an ending.On the other hand, those people behind her were sweating profusely, especially Mr. Yang just now.Now the whole body is shaking, and the underwear is already soaked.

However, Xiao Ningxuan's imperial decree is not over yet.

"Prince..." His voice was steep, a look of pain flashed across his black eyes, and his hands on the table tightened slightly.

The "Emperor" Empress Dowager glanced sideways at him, and there was a meaningful light in her wise eyes.

Luo Qingyan raised her head just in time, and just caught the flickering dark light in the Empress Dowager's eyes.It was a determination, a cruel, warning look.

Sure enough, upon seeing the empress dowager's expression, the pain and contradiction in Xiao Mingjing's eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by a touch of helpless coldness and bloodlust.

"As a human being, the prince poisoned his biological father, which is unfilial; coerced the emperor, secretly communicated with the courtiers, and formed a party for personal gain, which was disloyal; framed Zhongliang, led troops into the country, and plunged the people into misery, which was inhumane; massacred people, which was unrighteous. This time all kinds of crimes are really heinous. You must not be the prince of a country, let alone the prince of a country. I hereby announce to the world that I will abolish the position of prince, and the prince and his family will be put to death." His black eyes were deep, and his tone was cold: "People who are close to the crown prince in the court have been punished by traitors, and their homes have been ransacked and executed. In addition... people from the sidelines have been exiled and will never be hired."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the imperial study room.Next, there was constant wailing and begging.

"My majesty, please spare my life. I dare not dare...never again." The ministers who had been brought into the palace by Yang Lan all cried and wailed. Today, they finally saw the emperor's ruthlessness.

No matter how much they begged for mercy, it was useless, and the guards still ruthlessly pulled them down.

After that Master Yang came back to his senses, he slammed his head on the marble floor hard, and a large piece of the floor was smeared with blood.

"The emperor is merciful, I have been wronged..." However, his cries will never be able to withstand the guard's cold steel knife.Soon, those howling sounds gradually disappeared in the dark night, without a sound...

Luo Qingyan stood there in a daze, her eyes a little confused and dull.Such an ending was in her expectation, and she did not sympathize with these people at all.

It's just that the wind at night was so cold, it made her feel cold.She felt that, together with her blood and bones, had been frozen into ice cubes...

"Sister-in-law four, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Yuche beside her noticed her strangeness, and asked softly.

Luo Qingyan's eyes moved slightly, her slack eyes slowly returned to clarity, and she shook her head slightly.

"fine"

Xiao Yuche was a little worried, and said lightly: "The battles in the imperial palace have always been like this. You have witnessed all this with your own eyes, so it is no wonder that you are afraid." He thought that Luo Qingyan was disturbed because of this.

Luo Qingyan just smiled lightly and did not deny it.She is naturally aware of royal battles. She has seen crueler ones on TV or in books. The scene in front of her is nothing, so why should she be afraid?
His gaze fell on Xiao Mingjing above him, and he flicked across the bright yellow dragon card on his body, and the golden dragon on the dragon robe that symbolizes power... Maybe it's not that the emperor is ruthless, but... the person who wears this dragon robe must bear the burden of the world. Incomprehensible ruthlessness and helplessness?

His gaze passed over him and fell on the Queen Mother who was sitting quietly beside her.I saw her face was calm, her pupils were as dark as ancient pools.Those wrinkles drawn by the years hide calmness and calmness, wisdom and cold-bloodedness...

I could only hear Xiao Mingjing's sighing voice from above: "Queen, I have been married to you for many years. As you said, your Yang family has been loyal for generations. I can't bear to implicate the entire Yang family because of you alone." He pondered for a while, his voice Slightly light: "Decree, all the Yang family, the queen's close relatives will be executed, and the Yang family will confiscate the house. Foreign relatives will be exiled, and they will not be officials for generations."

Such a treatment is considered extrajudicial grace.Those who conspired in the past dynasties were all guilty of exterminating the nine races.And Xiao Mingjing just beheaded Yang Lanxu's biological parents and collateral clan, for example, relatives from afar were not executed, but exiled.

Yang Lanxu was shocked, and there were tears in his eyes.Although the Yang family is gone,... the emperor did not kill them all.Even if all those who bear the Yang surname will never be officials again, at least the Yang family has not lost their incense.

So, what else can she say?I have to thank you.

"The guilty concubine thanks the emperor for his kindness." She kowtowed heavily to Xiao Mingjing, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
