Chapter 256 Lost(1/2)
Overnight, the world changed hands.
Guangyan killed his father and killed the throne, sought power and usurped the throne, and was arrested and convicted by the fourth prince Guangshuo and General Guide. Emperor Wenxuan had issued an edict to change the crown prince long before his death. After entering the imperial tomb, the ceremony of ascension to the throne was still held, but the person who ascended the throne changed from Guangyan to Guangshuo.
No one in the court dared to object.
Guangshuo's work was decisive and ruthless, which was completely different from his taciturn appearance. As early as last night, he captured Guangyan's several trusted confidants. Guangyan's soldiers were not strong at all. If it were said that because of Xu Jingfu's relationship, the He family still had the support. Since the attack on He and the military power of the Fuyue Army was taken back, it would not be used by the prince.
The actions of Guangshuo were terrified by the thunderous and decisive actions of the court officials. The court officials were talking about the emperor's aura in the fourth prince had already seen a clue.
As for the last emperor's will, the case was found to be fake. Concubine Lan and Concubine Ni, along with dozens of other women, were able to save their lives. When it came to the ears of the people outside, it was also said that the Fourth Prince was kind and wise.
The people never care who is sitting in that position. It doesn’t matter who the emperor is as long as they have clothes and food to eat.
The court officials would not object. Now in the royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty, the fifth prince Guangji is still young, and the only one who can support the situation is Guangshuo.
Emperor Wenxuan entered the imperial tomb. In the Qinglan Palace, Concubine Lan took off her heavy robe. As soon as she sat down, someone walked in from outside.
It's Ni Guiren.
"Congratulations to my sister for getting what I want now." Ni Guiren walked to the small table and sat down, smiling and said without a smile, "It won't take long, I will call my sister to "The Queen Mother."
Concubine Lan looked at her, her eyes still as gentle as before, "Ni Guiren Ni, aren't she still alive now?"
Guiren Ni was stunned.
That day, Wei Xuanzhang was killed in front of Chengle Palace, intensifying the conflict between the prince and the Great Wei. The prince was so violent and paranoid, and she would go into the dark tomb with Emperor Wenxuan tomorrow. At the last moment, Ni Guiren cooperated with Concubine Lan.
Guangji's words are false, and the edict to pass the throne may not be true. After all, Guangshuo only wants an excuse, a legitimate excuse.
In fact, at that time, Ni Guiren also had the determination to fight back and forth, thinking that it would be better to fight hard than to die. But deep down, he didn't think that Guangshuo would succeed.
But Guangshuo succeeded.
It sounds light and light. After just one night, Ni Guiren finally realized that if he had just made a temporary decision and if Guangshuo was fighting for his mother, he would probably not be able to win the followers of Lieutenant General Guide and General Feng Yun in such a short time.
I am afraid that the scene that happened in the Golden Palace last night was foreseeable by Concubine Lan many years ago.
Even if he thought a little deeper, perhaps Emperor Wenxuan died at Guangyan's hands, Concubine Lan may not be really ignorant of it.
Guangshuo's silence and gentleness, kindness and ignorance of court affairs, Concubine Lan's inconfrontation and gentleness, and Emperor Wenxuan's favor and sincerity were arranged by Concubine Lan a long time ago. From beginning to end, it was not that Guangshuo's acting skills were too good, but that Concubine Lan's thoughts were not even known by her son.
Queen Zhang may have guessed something right. Concubine Lan is not not fighting for anything, but she looks down on ordinary favors at all. If she wants to fight, she will compete for the most noble position in the world for her son.
Therefore, the prince is destined to lose, because he does not have a mother who can endure and hide for many years for himself without revealing any flaws.
Guangji is still young, and from today on, no one in the entire royal family of the Wei Dynasty is Guangshuo's opponent.
A chill slowly surged in Ni Guiren's heart. The woman in front of her was gentle and gentle. She had never seen her angry rebukes for so many years, but it turned out that she was the most terrifying one.
"I'm fine to live." Ni Guiren lowered his head, his voice unconsciously carrying a hint of humility and fear, "In the future, I will follow the Empress well. Guangji... I hope the Empress will take care of her more."
Concubine Lan didn't say anything, just looked out the window. After a long time, she turned around and seemed to have heard Guiren Ni clearly. She nodded slightly and closed her eyes and said, "Okay."
...
There was chaos in the prince's mansion.
The servants cried and were dragged by the officers and soldiers, and they were caught. The Crown Princess screamed and was taken away. Before leaving, her nails streaked across the wall, leaving a long trace.
Someone walked slowly and walked to the yard, the last room.
This is a dark room. The prince Guangyan is fierce and evil. If he offended him, he would kill him to vent his anger more easily. Some would be even more miserable. He would be tortured by the dark room where the prince's mansion and torture, and life would be worse than death.
Now that something happened to the Crown Prince's Mansion, the officers and soldiers are busy capturing their relatives, and no one pays attention to it.
The young man walked slowly, his clean boots stomped on the wet ground. The dark room was very dark, with dim lights. You could see traces of darkness, either dry or shining with light, as if human blood.
It is built here like a prison cell, with iron fences separated from each other and there are no guards. When people heard the movements of someone, the people in the room did not react. At most, they raised their heads slightly and put them down very quickly - the people here were already dying and did not think that anyone would come to save them.
Despair fills here.
He walked slowly. Every time he walked past a room, he stopped in front of the door and looked carefully, as if he was identifying the person inside. When he found out that he was not, he walked away again.
Walking through each room by room until you reach the last room.
A figure curled up on the ground, lying on his side like a child, holding his shoulders with his hands and burying his head in his chest. She was not dressed in order. As soon as she left, her body began to tremble slightly even though she had not moved.
Chu Zhao paused.
He looked at the figure inside, and after a moment, the door opened.
The people inside still had no movement, and they didn't even look at him. Chu Zhao walked up to the person and slowly knelt down half-kneel, as if he wanted to comfort the other party, but he didn't know where to start. After a while, he spoke "Yingxiang."
The person in front of him trembled violently.
"Yingxiang," said Chu Zhao, "The prince is dead, I'll take you back."
He reached out and wanted to help Yingxiang up, but was blocked by Yingxiang, but she seemed to have no strength. This blocking was useless. Chu Zhao helped her to the stone wall and sat down, and pushed away the messy hair in front of her, then was stunned, "You..."
"...Don't look..." Ying Xiang said weakly.
It turned out that the charming and beautiful face was covered with terrible knife marks. Because they had not been properly treated, the knife marks had not yet been scabbed and were dripping blood. When I took a look, I looked like a female ghost who came to seek her life, which was both shocking and horrifying.
Chu Zhao was shocked.
The night before Guangshuo went to Chengle Palace, Chu Zhao went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
He had already seen clearly that Guangyan could not beat Guangshuo at all, and Empress Zhang was not a match for Concubine Lan. He really had no other way to go. Even if he followed Guangshuo now, Guangshuo would never be used more. But following Guangyan, he would just die together.
When Xu Jingfu was alive, he told him to learn to make choices in everything.
He chose to do his last business with Guangshuo.
He told the prince's troops and arrangements to sell him and Yingxiang to find a condition for survival. He no longer wanted to make any progress in his career, because it was impossible. Although he would not know whether he could succeed in his bargaining chips in the end, he had already done so, at least he could survive now.
At that time, Guangshuo looked at him and seemed to have never expected Chu Zhao to propose this condition, and asked, "Since Mr. Chu attaches so much importance to your maid, why did he take the initiative to send your maid to Guangyan?"
"Since you sent her as a spy, you should have no other affection. Now that you have nothing to ask for except this girl, it makes people unable to understand."
Chu Zhao said quietly, "I don't understand."
For him, there is nothing that cannot be used in the world, and there is no one who cannot be used. But every time, at some point, there will be some weaknesses that should not exist.
This is true for He Yan and so is Ying Xiang.
He looked at Ying Xiang in front of him, but he didn't know how to react for a moment.
Ying Xiang just glanced at him and quickly buried her head, as if she was afraid that she would dirty Chu Zhao's sleeves and stopped talking.
There was a vague sound of officers and soldiers scolding and crying with their servants. Ying Xiang listened carefully for a while and said, "...Is the prince dead?"
Chu Zhao came back to his senses and whispered, "Yes. You can leave the Prince's Mansion."
Ying Xiang did not show a happy expression when she heard this. Instead, she seemed to have stepped back a little and said, "No..."
"Don't you want to go back with me?" Chu Zhao asked.
"Fourth Young Master," her voice was soft like the most fragile silk. As long as you pull it gently, it would shatter. Ying Xiang said, "I can't leave."
Chu Zhao was stunned, "Why?"
As if after a huge struggle, Ying Xiang slowly stretched out her hand and lifted her sleeves. Chu Zhao suddenly opened her eyes wide. The skin on her sleeves, which was originally flawless, was already unrecognizable. It seemed to be burned by fire, or it seemed to be crushed, causing traces of ulceration.
"The prince feeds me and takes no antidote," Ying Xiang said, "I am waiting to die.
(This chapter is not finished)
The man.”
Guangyan hated her betrayal and infidelity, and there were countless ways to torture the unfaithful people. Ying Xiang's appearance was so beautiful that he destroyed her appearance. He also wanted to let her die in the most devastating and cruel way - watching her last inch of her intact skin ulcerate, and even her death was disgusting.
Killing someone to kill his heart, but that's it.
In an instant, Chu Zhao felt extremely confused. He had not had such an emotion for many years. He looked at Ying Xiang at a loss and said, "It's okay, when I go out, I will ask a doctor to treat you."
"It's useless." Ying Xiang smiled bitterly, "I know it myself, I can't save it anymore."
The burning torches on the wall swayed quietly, making half of her blood-stained face look particularly terrifying, and there was no longer the stunning appearance of smiling Qianxi in the past.
Chu Zhao looked at her in a daze. He knew that Ying Xiang would definitely not have a good ending when she fell into Guangyan's hands, but he never expected that this was the situation now.
It's better to die than to die.
"I... I have something to ask for."
"You said." He said.
"I have nothing in my life, but my appearance is acceptable." Ying Xiang stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to caress her face, but her hand stopped in the air. "Now that her appearance is completely destroyed, and she has taken the poison without any detoxification. I don't want to die, so terrifying and ferocious. The fourth young master... can I give me a happy time?"
"You want me to kill you?" Chu Zhao looked at her in shock.
"The life of my servant was saved by the fourth son. Now that I die at the hands of the fourth son, it is perfect. Besides, the woman's voice was soft, "The fourth son is not harming me, but helping me."
Chu Zhao said, "I won't kill you."
"Then please let the fourth young master leave." The maid who was used to look down at him showed a tough look to him for the first time, "I am here and I will not go anywhere."
"Yingxiang," Chu Zhao was helpless with her for the first time. He whispered softly, "Your injuries are not without room for recovery. There are many doctors in Shuojing, and you can cure you."
"What if it's cured?" Ying Xiang smiled softly, "I have no appearance now and can't even take care of myself. Staying with the young master and being unable to drive the young master is also a burden."
When Chu Zhao heard this, his expression moved slightly, and he said, "Are you just driving me?"
"There are no useless people around the young master." Ying Xiang replied.
