A heavy rain poured down, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
In the Nangong Palace, Yuan Qirui was awakened by the thunder. He lost his sleepiness and simply stood up and turned on the lamp. He picked up the letter he had hidden in the brocade box and read it again.
This letter was written by his mother. The letter said that he would be able to leave here soon, and by then he would be the king of a country in Beichen.
In the end, the world still belongs to him.
Yuan Qinrui was vaguely excited and expectant. He carefully put away the letter and closed the brocade box when he heard a bang and the door was blown open by the strong wind.
He was startled and hurriedly got up to close the door, only to see a man standing in the heavy rain.
Yuan Qirui was frightened and took a closer look. The man wearing a raincoat walked over slowly.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Seeing this person, Yuan Qirui asked curiously, this Nangong is heavily guarded and not everyone can come and go at will, unless...
He was overjoyed and asked, "Did the queen send you here? Has she come to pick me up?"
The man curled his lips and showed a disdainful smile: "Your Majesty, there is no need to wait any longer. Your queen mother and Xuan Ying have been executed. I have been ordered by Your Majesty to reunite your family of three."
"impossible."
Yuan Qirui blurted out that he had just received a letter today saying that his father had passed away. Now that the palace was controlled by Xuan Ying, he would be able to leave this ghost place soon.
"Ah."
The man sneered: "His Royal Highness, are you still dreaming about your Spring and Autumn Dream? Actually, I don't need to do it myself to kill you, but I still feel uneasy after all, and I think it would be better to end your life myself."
As he spoke, he pulled out a soft sword from his waist and pointed it at Yuan Qirui.
Yuan Qirui was shocked, frowned and asked: "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"
"What did you do to Yan Yan in the past life? I wanted to give you back bit by bit, but after thinking about it, it's not necessary. Keeping you will only remind her of those painful past events. Only when you die can she be completely free."
relief."
As he said that, the sword in Xiao Chengyi's hand was pressed against Yuan Chunrui's neck, and he said in a cold voice: "Is this how you threatened her back then?"
Yuan Qirui couldn't understand a word he said. He just thought this man was a lunatic. He asked with a sullen face: "Who are you?"
"Go and ask the Lord of Hell."
Xiao Chengyi stopped talking nonsense with him and sealed his throat with a sword, and blood spilled all over the floor.
Yuan Qirui fell to the ground, and even to his death he did not know who killed him and why. With these questions, he closed his eyes forever.
Xiao Chengyi glanced at him, then swung his sword to chop off his head, then turned around and disappeared into the heavy rain.
When Li Ke came with his people, he was startled by the scene in front of him. The deputy general who was following him stammered and asked: "Commander...commander, who did this? Do you want to tell His Majesty?"
Li Ke said: "One more thing is worse than one less thing. Since someone helped us chop off the head of this useless prince, we don't have to dirty our hands anymore and take his head back to life."
The men under him took a piece of cloth and wrapped the bloody head, and then the group went back to recover.
...
In the palace.
Mu Yun'an stood outside the palace and was walking back and forth. Although she was under the eaves, the strong wind blew the rainwater over and fell on her body.
Yuan Jiahe walked out of the hall and asked, "It's raining so heavily outside. If you don't go in, what are you doing here?"
What happened tonight really shocked her. She didn't expect that her father was not dead, and even her brother, the prince, was still alive. However, she heard that her father was angry and fainted.
