Let's abandon the speech to paralyze Lou Chen for the time being. As a decision, it was made very quickly, but its implementation was far from simple.

When the ridiculous pile of letters was presented to him, he knew Chao Ci was looking at him.

Chao Ci is a stubborn person, but that doesn't mean he is stupid. He also knows that the so-called evidence is ridiculous, but he also knows that no matter how ridiculous the evidence is, it is not his decision.

So Chao Ci looked at him with hope and trust.

But with his own hands, he shattered his trust and hope bit by bit.

In the past, he knew that Chaohua was stupid and narrow-minded, but there had never been a moment when he felt that she was so disgusting.

He listened to Chao Ci's voice getting colder and colder, and his eyes grew darker and darker when he looked at him.

Finally, he knelt in front of him and said "I don't recognize it."

It was very peaceful, without any sadness or fear of impending disaster.

It's so calm that it's scary.

Lou Yue's fingers hidden in his sleeves bent twitchingly.

It was as if something very important had been lost from his hands.

…

Some days later, the entire Chao family was imprisoned.

Chao Ci broke into Qinzheng Hall and knelt in front of the hall all night.

In fact, even if Chao Ci doesn't come, he will secretly replace Chao Ci's family members. But he can't tell Chao Ci about this, and he can't let Chao Ci go back just like that.

When you're acting, you have to do it perfectly.

Reason told him this.

But the collision of heads and the ground outside the hall struck Lou Yue's heart every time, like a dull knife cutting his heart again and again.

He cannot be soft-hearted, otherwise he will fail in his efforts.

The langhao pen in his hand was broken into pieces.

He wished Chao Ci could give up earlier, not to mention knelt outside all night, even if he just knelt all night, his body would not be able to bear it.

But Chao Ci was able to persist far better than he thought. Even in the middle of the night, Lin Cheng told him that Chao Ci couldn't straighten up and was almost unconscious, but Chao Ci insisted on kneeling down again.

That was the longest night Lou Yue had ever experienced.

The sound between each sound seemed to be torn apart by life, which seemed extremely long.

Another half hour passed.

The sound outside the hall stopped.

Lou Yue was also pushed to the limit by this torture. He looked at Lin Cheng with almost red eyes.

"Let him go back and sentence the entire Chao family to exile."

The imperial family raised private soldiers with the intention of treason. It would not be an exaggeration to punish the Nine Tribes for such a crime. It is completely unreasonable to just sentence them to exile.

Lou Yue's original plan was to exile the Yi tribe and the rest of his family members, and then secretly replace Chao Mingzhi and others.

But he couldn't tell Chao Ci about this, and if Chao Ci didn't know about it, Chao Ci would never go back.

Anyway, although the exile of the nine tribes is too lenient, it is not unjustifiable.

Lou Yue stayed up all night. The next morning, he walked out of the Qinzheng Hall and saw an extremely obvious dark blood stain in the middle of the steps.

He forced himself to look straight ahead, without looking or thinking.

…

Chao Ci had a hard time in Qionghua Palace. There was nothing in the cold palace, and there was only one person to serve him. He was such a pampered person, and he didn't know if he could bear it.

Since the Chao family was sentenced to exile for the whole family, Chao Ci's life in Qionghua Palace has become even more difficult. Not to mention that he has been bedridden for several days since he knelt in front of Qinzheng Palace all night.

When I got up, my body was not as good as before.

Those lowly slaves were used to looking down on others and making things difficult for them even when they were given the most basic food, clothing and medicines. Lou Yue wished he could kill all these dog slaves, but at this moment he could only endure it and could not act rashly.

We’re all here, we can’t fall short.

he kept telling himself.

But he didn't expect that the speech meeting would disappear.

The day when the Qionghua Palace caught fire was the most panicked time in his life.

Even if he suffered a defeat and almost died in a pool of blood, he had never been so scared.

If Chao Ci really... died inside, what should he do?

This question just stuck in his mind, but he couldn't think of an answer at all.

Fortunately, Chao Ci is not in it.

He escaped.

Escape...it's better to escape.

At least still alive.

In this way, there is no need to suffer such a waste in the palace. After he has finished cleaning up Lou Chen and all his gang members, he can take his queen back.

…

One day one month after Chao Ci left.

Lou Yue had a dream.

He dreamed that after he had settled all Lou Chen's matters, he began to search for Chao Ci's whereabouts.

It didn't take him long to find it.

After posting imperial notices across the country and investing countless manpower and material resources in the search, news of the imperial resignation soon came to light.

He is in Yucheng.

After learning the news, Lou Yue was almost ecstatic. He immediately sent people to continue searching to find the specific location of Chao Ci, and went to Yucheng himself.

After seven months of separation, he missed and worried almost every day.

But before he could reach Yucheng, the people sent out had already sent back the news.

The queen was not found, only a tomb was found.

Lou Yue froze.

died……?

How, how could...

impossible!

His mind went blank and he didn't believe the news, so he rushed towards Yucheng like crazy.

Yucheng is not far from the capital, and it only takes four days by horseback.

But it only took Lou Yueshengsheng two days to arrive, and he traveled all night without eating or drinking.

As soon as he arrived in Yucheng, the people originally arranged in Yucheng were already waiting for him. He listened to those people and went to the suburbs of the city.

There were many people standing there.

Most of them were Lou Yue's subordinates. They gathered around and stood upright, waiting for Lou Yue.

There was another one, a young man dressed in white and looking like a knight.

His back was to Lou Yue, and in front of him was a raised mound of earth, with a stone tablet standing in front of it.

The young man was squatting half-crouching, burning paper in a brazier. Even though he was surrounded by armored soldiers, there was nothing strange about him.

Lou Yue's five senses were so good that he could read the words on the stone tablet clearly even from a distance.

The tomb of a friend’s tribute.

At that moment, there seemed to be an extremely harsh scream exploding in Lou Yue's ears.

There was a roar in my head, and my whole body felt terribly cold.

Lou Yue strode towards that direction, but his steps stumbled several times.

It seemed that he heard Lou Yue's footsteps.

The young man turned his head and looked at him.

He recognized Lou Yue, lowered his head slightly, and said lightly: "The common people respectfully welcome Your Majesty."

He didn't even kneel down, and there was no hint of respect in his voice.

But Lou Yue obviously wasn't in any mood to care about this at this time.

He walked to the grave and stretched out his hand, tremblingly wanting to touch the monument.

His hands have cut off countless heads. Once on the battlefield, he was hit by an arrow and his weapon was broken. He could also use his hands to break the enemy's neck with the force of his fingers.
