The paper on which the text was written was torn off, crumpled, rolled into a ball, and thrown on the ground.
Being trampled on by the girl's feet.
The bard looked up at the remaining mists in the sky.
The purple feathers swayed slowly, and she grinned, her face ferocious.
"It's really over like this. The story is too lacking in fun, right?"
——————————————————————————————
Within the royal family.
The evil beast was subdued, and the good news that the two Su Chans disappeared from the ground reached the Tai Hospital.
Sitting on the hospital bed, Long Wuyi closed his eyes and rested his mind, listening to his personal physician report the end of the farce, looking deeply at the ground.
"Although it's not the most ideal result...but it's not bad."
"My nephew and niece have become heroes, which broaden my choices."
"Next..."
Next, how to make full use of the eldest prince who failed to grasp the opportunity, pave the way for Fu Tianqing, or Hang Yanling, so that one of them can become the king of Dongzhou?
It's not complicated.
As long as he publicly declares that the one who assassinated him is the eldest prince, he can be saved forever... But he has to find a way to make this fact known to those two children.
There is a better candidate for Dongzhou's next emperor, which is really more joyful than killing a few Su Chan.
Thinking of this, His Majesty raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Not long ago, Long Wuyi, who had shown a fatherly expression in front of the eldest prince, now became the emperor in the past again.
The future emperor of Dongzhou is not necessarily his own heir.
As long as you have dragon blood, you can lead Dongzhou to a more distant future...
It doesn't matter if it's the child of that unworthy brother.
They have more popular support and strength, and they can also have a good relationship with the one from Nanzhou. It really couldn't be a better ending.
All for Dongzhou.
"Next——is your Majesty planning to change the heir to the throne again?"
The imperial physician who treated Long Wuyi asked slowly.
Long Wuyi frowned, he didn't like others to speculate on his thoughts, especially... a little imperial physician.
He rarely showed an expression of displeasure, and when he looked up carefully, he found that the imperial physician standing in front of him fell down in front of him with a plop.
The one who spoke just now was another veiled woman standing behind the imperial physician.
"Your Majesty, long time no see."
"You are……"
"My name is Chenlu."
The woman slowly took off the veil on her face, revealing the face that was criss-crossed with scars and so damaged that the original face could not be seen at all.
The ugly woman smiled gently: "I haven't seen you for about 15 years, haven't you—Father?"
"...you... are still alive?"
"Haha, hahahaha."
Chen Lu lowered her head and covered her face, sat on the shoulder of the imperial physician's corpse kneeling on the ground, and looked at Long Wuyi who was sitting on the hospital bed.
The unrecognizable face that was scratched by the knife showed a sarcastic expression.
"Will His Majesty, who is all-knowing and omnipotent, show such a surprised expression? Or—from the very beginning, you never considered the possibility that I, the second prince who was really replaced 15 years ago, is still alive?"
"...Luer..."
"Don't, the last big brother whom you affectionately called 'Chen'er' has been abandoned by you now. I have been dormant for so many years, not to follow in the footsteps of big brother."
morning dew...
Also 15 years ago.
The original second prince who was really "exchanged for the prince by the civet cat".
In front of his father, he opened those dark golden eyes.
"You have seen through all the plots of the Yaozu 15 years ago, and you also know that the real replacement of the Yaozu is the second prince... But the first thing you think about is not how to save me, but how to fully explain this situation. Taking advantage of this matter to completely eradicate the Yaozu from this land—it really deserves to be an emperor's plan."
"...Do you hate the emperor?"
"No, I don't hate you, on the contrary—I'm very, very grateful."
Chen Lu snapped her fingers lightly, and Xuan Ming, with a cold face, brought in a bloody head from outside the Tai Hospital.
That is the current second prince, Long Chaolu, who is also a real spy of the monster clan, who is behind the scenes who put those monster assassins into the city.
"Thanks to your plan, the eldest prince has already lost all face, the third prince is deliberately rebelling, and the fourth and fifth are not good... I, the second, have become the most prestigious person at this time. It's a pity that there is only one step away. My status as the second prince can be completely elevated."
"...The last step you missed was the fact that I was stabbed to death by the third prince, right?"
"Of course. I have to thank you for directing this 15-year conspiracy. You did not hesitate to be stabbed by your eldest son, and your vitality was greatly injured. Otherwise, even if I have a descendant of Xuanwu, I would not be able to complete the replacement of identity so smoothly."
Chen Lu stretched out her hand and patted her palm lightly.
"Okay, Father——everything will go according to your original plan, and use your body, which is running out of time, to pave the way for the future of your children."
"Do you really think...you can kill me? Just rely on a Xuanwu Empress?"
Long Wuyi looked at Xuanming sarcastically, mobilizing the power of the earth veins.
Chen Lu chuckled.
"Look at you, you are really old and confused. You have been telling lies for a long time, and you have forgotten the truth? Where is there such a thing as Zhuque, Xuanwu, White Tiger in the world...? We didn't pull out the gentle image of Xuanwu, use it To distort its original ferocity?"
"..."
"Remember? The prototype of Xuanwu...isn't related to the gentle tortoise...the original name is the monster called 'Teng Snake', its characteristics?"
Chapter 70 Has the dust settled?
From daytime to early morning, and then the next day when the sun illuminated the earth again, everything that happened in the imperial capital seemed to be in a dream. Many people saw their lost relatives and friends, and the night of shock was like a group nightmare. After coming, there is nothing left.
The number of casualties in Eastern State, the last is "1".
This is a very normal number. The number of natural deaths in the Dongzhou emperor's capital is far greater than it every day. The troublesome thing is that this "1" represents one of the most outstanding emperors in the history of Dongzhou. , the death of Long Wuyi.
There was no time to prepare for the state funeral, and everything happened without warning.
The army found Long Chaohua, who had passed out and was unconscious, in the pothole that used to be the Ming Temple, among the ruins left by the evil beasts.
The girl who should have died last night still had a breath left.
According to the eldest prince's report, this wicked girl who assassinated her own father should be charged with treason and quartered.But until now, no one wanted to take advantage of her weakness to kill this sad girl.
Even the most ordinary soldiers knew that there was something else hidden about the chaos that happened yesterday.
The leaders of the Daoist faction and the generals of the Dragon Guards gathered together to discuss how to deal with the poisonous princess. In the end, He Kui suggested that she should be temporarily placed under house arrest until she wakes up to investigate everything clearly.
Of course, this decision aroused strong opposition from the First Prince, but from generals to soldiers, from humans to monster races, no one paid any attention to this future prince.
Although not everyone in Dongzhou has dragon blood, the arrogance of the people of the dragon has always made them look down on cowards.
With the beast in front, no one flinched, except this man who had completely humiliated the royal family in front of the outsiders, saints, and brothers and sisters of the same clan.
However, before Long Chaohua could be taken to the dungeon in the future, a frantic eunuch in the palace brought new news—the real assassin of the emperor had been caught.
It's not a monster race, but a human being.
She... called herself Zhou Qingying.
————————————————————————
In the gloomy and dark prison, Zhou Qingying sat on the bench with a pale face, looking at the morning sun outside the window.
The faint light shone on the shackles on her hands, and the jailer outside the door was as tired as her.
After the horror of last night, no one can cheer up to face a brand new day.
No scolding, no torture.
Zhou Qingying surrendered herself, and the dragon guards put her in shackles and imprisoned her, waiting to be punished, that's all.
His Majesty's body was put into the coffin, and his death was extremely tragic.
His Majesty the wise and mighty has never shown such a ferocious and terrified expression. No one knows what he saw before he died.
Apart from the non-fatal knife wound on his abdomen which had already been bandaged, there were no other injuries on his body. The imperial physician could not diagnose the cause of death, but His Majesty's breathing had indeed stopped.
Asked about Zhou Qingying who surrendered herself, but Zhou Qingying refused to answer for a long time.
She has been asking to see someone, she wants to see the saint who just saved Dongzhou last night.
Two hours passed.
The gate of the dungeon was knocked.
A slender figure appeared behind the door, and the saint, wrapped in the rotten atmosphere of the prison, walked slowly to the prison.
The jailers glanced at each other. Who would have thought that Dongzhou's first reception for this kind person who saved the world was to send her to visit the prison?
"You go out."
The saint ordered wearily.
The jailer nodded and left together without saying much.
Only Hang Yanling and Zhou Qingying were left in the dull dark room. The two looked at each other for a while, and Hang Yanling gently tapped the fence: "What's going on?"
"Man, I didn't kill him. When I went, he was already dead. I didn't move the body."
"Then why did you turn yourself in... for Hei Hua?"
"Yes."
Zhou Qingying replied briefly, and she looked up at Hang Yanling with a wry smile: "You are Xiao Xiaoling, right? You don't have to pretend to be her in front of me."
Anyway, the all-knowing and omnipotent master of the earth veins has fallen, and the conversations here don’t have to worry about being heard by anyone. Hang Yanling also nodded, looked at the senior sister who he didn’t like, and shook his head: “I’m not good at getting along with you ... You are a person who can't rub the sand in your eyes, so straightforward, why would you do such a thing?"
"Since you pretended to be her, then Hang Yanling must have completely trusted you, and you should have a way to contact her."
Zhou Qingying stood up and walked to the cage: "Listen to me, everything is a trap."
"I'm listening."
"Before, I couldn't figure out one thing, why the organization had to let Hei Hua go for the assassination. I was always entangled in why the organization had to carry out an assassination that was bound to fail - but now I know, I have always been obsessed with 'assassination' would fail' without considering the possibility that 'the organization knew the assassination would succeed and they needed a scapegoat'."
"Ever since I brought Fu Tianqing and the others back, I have been following Hei Hua secretly. She is a person with the same personality as me, and she will definitely complete the tasks she receives. She sneaked into the palace—without any effort. Because at that time most of the troops in the imperial palace were dispatched to fight the evil beast, so the guards around the emperor were very weak."
"Hei Hua was about to strike, and I stopped her. She didn't notice it because of her anger, but I felt something was wrong—the emperor was already out of breath at that time. If her sword really stabbed down, then her crime must be done. Reality."
"She is a monster, and it is normal for the monster to assassinate the emperor. If she really acts according to the order of the organization, then the real murderer will be exonerated because of her identity... I think this is why the organization must entrust someone to do it." The reason for the assassination of the emperor."
"The situation at that time did not allow me to think too much. I was still checking the emperor's body, and someone in the palace shouted that the emperor had been assassinated, and blocked us in the imperial hospital."
"There is no doubt that there are real murderers in the palace. They colluded with the organization in order to push the crime of assassinating the emperor to others."
"So I let Hei Hua leave secretly, and took the charge myself."
Zhou Qingying clenched her fists and looked at Xiao Xiaoling: "At that time, there were really not many choices left for me. I didn't have the extra energy to think about the cause and effect. I only know that a monster race must not be allowed to bear this crime, otherwise There will never be peace in the chaos of Dongzhou—nor will the hatred between the demon race and humans be resolved."
"I'm a human being, and I'm from Nanzhou. I have Lianhua Palace behind me to back me up. The real murderer doesn't dare to take advantage of the chaos to kill me. I can delay for a while if I bear this crime."
"That was the case."
Zhou Qingying closed her eyes, let out a breath, and looked away: "I don't know how Hang Yanling views the humans and monsters in Dongzhou, but I guess if it's the person I know, she definitely doesn't want to hate forever Keep getting entangled... Anyway, I don't like Dongzhou today, that's all."
"..."
Xiao Xiaoling was silent for a while
, she looked at Zhou Qingying firmly, and shook her head: "You are indeed stubborn, and I will probably never get along with you."
"I'm sorry... I have caused you trouble."
"There's no need to apologize. If she was here, her choice would be about the same as yours... After all, she is most used to sacrificing herself."
