The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and the atmosphere in the hall is tense. If it continues, it will only be detrimental to him. He must sit on the throne before others find out that something is wrong.
He pointed his sword at the emperor and said decisively, "Since your majesty is ignorant, don't blame me for being cruel."
The emperor held his chin indifferently and said, "You have not paid enough to sit in this position."
He pulled the bell on the side, and with the sound of "ding bell", a group of people came out of the dark night and surrounded them.
The Yulin Army was shocked, "It's the Fish Dragon Guard."
Once upon a time, Yulongwei and Dongchang were two sharp swords in the hands of the emperor, capable of hitting wherever they pointed.
Later, the Fish Dragon Guards suffered heavy losses due to the battle with Shen Xingwan. The most elite group was almost completely wiped out. In addition, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the once feared Fish Dragon Guards fell into silence. In recent years, almost all of them have been destroyed.
People forget that they exist.
The emperor hummed a little tune and beat time in his hand, as if he was watching a show and said, "I am right here, and the throne is right here. If you have the ability, come and get it!"
The Fish Dragon Guard raised his sword and rushed towards them first. Yan Chu raised his sword to fight, "Charge!"
At this point, both sides have no way out. Either you die or I live.
The blood soon stained the hall red, and everyone's eyes turned red. The emperor said to the beauty, "Pour me a glass of wine."
The beauty poured him wine with a flask, and the wine spilled all over him, but the emperor didn't care. He admired the fighting scene in front of him, took out two elixirs on the side, and drank two pills. His whole body felt like a fairy.
Yan Chu was numb until the end of the fight, and blood kept splattering on his body and face. Later, he couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or someone else's.
Sure enough, you have to step on the corpses of countless people before you can sit in that position.
The news finally spread, and some ministers rushed to the palace late at night.
The Longhu Camp stationed outside the capital immediately mobilized its troops and entered the palace to rescue him.
I don't know how long it took, but most of the people fell in a pool of blood, with only some people from Yan Chu and Yu Lin's army still alive.
"Young master, we don't have much time left, please fight quickly."
Yan Chu's face was covered with blood. He held his sword and approached the emperor step by step. "I will help you to sit firmly in Da Qi's kingdom."
The emperor looked at him calmly and showed a bewildered smile.
The moment he approached, the table was suddenly overturned. A man holding two swords came out, and the incident happened in an instant.
After the battle, Chu Yan was already exhausted. The man slashed at him with his sword, but Yan Chu took it hard and the sword in his hand was knocked off.
"Master!"
The remaining Yulin Army surrounded him, but unfortunately it was too late. Yan Chu was pierced by the man's sword, and the man slowly pulled out the blood-red sword from his body and rushed towards the Yulin Army.
Yan Chu clutched his wound and slowly fell down, his eyes filled with reluctance. He was only one step away from that position.
The emperor sat at the top and looked at him, "Even if I don't take this position, it won't be your turn."
He is not a good emperor, but he does not want to give up the world to people like Yan Chu.
Yan Chu said unwillingly, "You already knew that, right?"
Otherwise, why would there be a Fish Dragon Guard hiding people under the table?
The emperor drank the last sip of wine from the flask, "Do you really think I am a fool?"
In the beginning, he did break the rules and was addicted to immortality. But slowly, something became more and more wrong with him, and he became more and more dependent on the so-called elixir. He could feel it when he was awake.
It's just that it's too late, there are some things that you can't turn back after you touch them.
So the emperor kept waiting, waiting for when he would take action.
Rather than being attacked by Fu Jingchao's troops, the emperor chose another ending for himself, making his death less miserable.
"Don't worry, I will issue an order to punish the nine clans of the Yan family. The winner and loser will be the king and the loser. You should have realized it the moment you take action."
"Pfft..." Yan Chu spat out a large mouthful of blood and used his last strength to turn his head and look outside the hall.
"Rui'er...brother can't take you home..."
They can't go back, and they can never go back. Fortunately, they are no longer afraid of being lonely on the road to Huangquan, and can walk together.
Yan Chu just slowly closed his eyes, amidst the corpses and blood on the ground.
The still alive eunuch crawled out shivering, and the emperor said, "Go and invite the queen."
He clutched his chest and sat down on the chair in despair, falling into memories.
Tao Mingran was surprised when he received the news, but he didn't dare to be vague and immediately took the people there.
Her face turned white from the smell of blood, and the emperor waved to her, "Come and change clothes with me."
Tao Mingran went over, helped her into the inner room, and helped her change her clothes. The emperor looked at her and said softly, "You are a good queen, but I am not a good emperor."
Tao Mingran knelt down in fear, unable to guess what he was thinking.
When the ministers arrived, Lin Zheng was directing the palace staff to carry the body out and lead people to clean up the hall.
A minister grabbed him anxiously and asked, "How is Your Majesty, Eunuch Lin?"
Lin Zheng said, "Your Majesty, everything is fine."
Gradually the rain outside stopped and the wind stopped.
After the emperor redressed, he summoned the ministers in the imperial study.
The queen returned to the harem and dealt with other matters. She was busy until dawn, and then she had time to sit down and drink tea.
"What should we do next, Madam?" the female officer asked worriedly.
The emperor is not dead. It's hard to tell whether it's good news or bad news for them.
Tao Mingran took a sip of hot tea to calm down his shock, and said in a low voice, "Just wait and see what happens, and just do what I should do."
When she was changing the emperor's clothes just now, the emperor actually vomited blood.
She had a premonition that even if nothing happened tonight, the emperor's end was approaching.
At dawn, there were soldiers on the streets, and the people closed their homes tightly and there was a roar of wind.
The news of the palace change last night also spread quickly.
One after another imperial edicts were issued from the palace, and officials who had a close relationship with Yan Chu were almost either arrested or killed.
Fu Siye stood on a high place and looked down at Shengjing, the most prosperous and cruel place here.
Xie Zhuohua stood side by side with her, "The sun is coming out soon, everything will be over soon."
The emperor, who had finished handling matters in the palace, stood at the highest point and looked down at the entire imperial city, with the queen standing beside him.
The emperor said, "This is our first time to watch the sunrise together."
Tao Mingran said gently, "Yes."
At this moment, she was in a complicated mood. The emperor was not a good emperor, and there was no affection between them, but he still respected her and was kind to her.
The emperor chuckled lightly, "You were a famous and talented woman before you got married. If you hadn't met me, your life would have been more interesting."
This sentence was difficult to answer, so Tao Mingran simply said nothing.
The emperor didn't need her to answer, but said, "When I die, you can leave the palace."
Tao Mingran looked at him in surprise.
The emperor said word for word, "Promise me, don't forget me."
He hopes that someone can remember him and simply remember him as a person without hatred.
At this moment, Tao Mingran actually understood his eyes.
