Chapter 207: The Weak Palace Maid VS the Eunuch Brother (16)

"I am the master of this world, and everything I do is for the people of the world." The emperor gritted his teeth and picked up the imperial edict with his mouth and put it on the ground.

He would rather die than write an abdication edict. It's a pity that he had found the elixir of immortality and had kept it well waiting for the right time to enjoy it. Now it seems that there is no chance.

"You really think too highly of yourself." General Yan supported the table with both hands and stared into his eyes, his eyes were cloudy, "If it weren't for us to protect this country for you, you would be nothing."

His decisiveness in killing and fighting during his military career finally showed at this moment.

"Don't forget that I am the king and you are the minister. It is natural for a minister to die for the king." The emperor was still defending himself. "

What a minister to die for the king." General Yan's face was full of sarcasm, "But there is no king in this world who forces loyal ministers to die."

"You..." The emperor wanted to say something, but he pinched his mouth and stuffed a ball of paper into it.

"I'll leave this to you." General Yan said to General Xiao Chen.

It would be great if he had the abdication edict, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't have it.

The only relative in the world was gone, and the world's evaluation of him was no longer important.

General Xiao Chen looked at the lonely figure of General Yan as he left, knowing that he was really hurt by the emperor.

General Yan had only one daughter in his life, but she died in the harem, and was sentenced to death by the emperor himself. How could he let it go?

Xixiu Palace.

"Come on, surround this place and bring Concubine Hui out to me." General Yan stared at the palace door.

The women in the harem would do anything to win favor. Concubine Hui and her daughter have always been mortal enemies, and Concubine Hui has made a lot of efforts to kill her daughter.

When she heard the noisy sound outside, Concubine Hui already had a bad premonition. She opened the door and saw the gray-haired General Yan, and she chuckled suddenly.

She should have known that General Yan, who loved his daughter as much as his life, would definitely not let her go or the Bu family go. But she took the risk to do those things for the empty promise of the emperor to become the queen, and then she was lucky enough to think that General Yan would not be able to return safely from the battlefield.

"For the sake of our friendship with Lord Bu, I will give you a decent death." General Yan waved his hand and walked over with Ju Heng holding a tray.

Concubine Hui stared at the poisoned wine and white silk on the tray in Ju Heng's hand, and suddenly felt that the scene was so similar.

Wasn't it the same on the day when Concubine Yan died? It seemed to be a choice between two options, but in fact there was no choice at all.

"This white silk is so beautiful." Her fingers brushed across it lightly.

"I want to see her body." General Yan led most of the soldiers to the Qianqing Palace.

"Have you ever thought about today, your majesty?" Ju Heng, expressionless, spoke in a light tone.

"I have always underestimated you." Concubine Hui touched the golden wine pot filled with poisoned wine, and regret was clearly flowing on her face.

She always felt that the eunuchs and maids in the harem were lowly. Although they looked kind on the surface, they were never treated as human beings. Now she was taught a lesson by the young eunuch.

"Your Majesty, please make your choice quickly. I have a task to report to you later." Ju Heng took a step forward and approached her even closer.

He had sworn long ago that no one could bully his sister. Concubine Hui sent her sister to the dragon bed in order to win favor. He would never forgive her.

"Poison wine, die decently." Concubine Hui took the golden cup and poured it into her mouth. With full of attachment and regret for the world, she closed her eyes.

Qianqing Palace.

"Who are you? This is the imperial palace!" Ying'er was very impatient when she saw the gray-haired old man who suddenly broke in with people.

"I thought the emperor had found some fairy-like figure. He also claimed to have lived from the time of Emperor Gaozu to the present." General Yan sneered.

The emperor was so incompetent that he even believed this lie full of loopholes.

"Who are you? Someone come out and tell me clearly." Ying'er screamed hysterically.

"Tell her." General Yan pointed at the eunuchs and palace maids huddled in the corner.

"My queen, this is General Yan." The palace maid standing in the corner tremblingly whispered.

Although she had never experienced a mutiny before, General Yan's current posture was obviously to force the emperor to abdicate. The smart ones knew which side to stand on.

"Your Majesty, where is your Majesty?" Ying'er approached General Yan step by step with her belly.

"You are really looking for death." General Yan turned her wrist and said, "Lock her in the side hall."

For the sake of Ying'er's unborn child, the emperor finally wrote an abdication edict, and the grand abdication ended.

The Bu family learned about Concubine Hui's death during the morning court session of the second day, and Lord Bu fainted on the spot in the court. Bu Qi looked at the new emperor sitting on the high throne, but he couldn't tell the taste.

The new emperor came to the court and dismissed all the concubines in the harem, but did not change any layout of the previous dynasty. The originally panicked people in the court settled down.

For the common people, as long as their lives were not really changed, it didn't matter who sat in the palace. So this mutiny had basically no impact.

Only Shi Yi, who lived in the inn, was always worried. Soon, on a sunny afternoon, she waited for the person she wanted to wait for.

"Brother." She saw the young man in a blue and white brocade robe and could hardly recognize him. The moment she saw his face clearly, she ran over like a bird returning home.

"You are still so reckless." Ju Heng hugged her, hugging the only relative in the world.

"Do you know that I am worried sick." Shi Yi hugged tightly and didn't want to let go.

"I am worried about you too." Ju Heng touched her hair familiarly and breathed in the free air.

"Do you still count what you said that day?" Shi Yi looked up at him, her watery eyes blinking, very afraid that he would change his mind.

"Of course... not." Ju Heng teased her deliberately.

"No, I still think it's dangerous to stay here." Shi Yi held his arm tightly.

Needless to say, she also knew how much effort he had spent to escape from this harem.

"Let's go to the desert." Ju Heng gently held her hand in his palm, "When you were a child, you longed for the place."

"Okay." Shi Yi smiled sweetly.

"The sun is shining now, let's go." Ju Heng looked at the bustling crowd in front of him, feeling the warmth on his hands, and was full of expectations for the future life.

The sun shone from their heads, and they walked hand in hand into the distance.

They were about to leave this familiar place and go to the distant desert, listening to the camel bells and being free.
