After nightfall, the entire palace became quiet.

The Queen Mother hadn't fallen asleep yet. The palace maid who served her had gone out and had not returned for a long time. The Queen Mother called out a few times, but no one answered.

At this time, the Queen Mother heard footsteps.

"Axiang, is that you?"

The Queen Mother saw a black shadow outside the window and called out again, thinking it was one of her palace maids.

"A Xiang."

No one answered.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly and opened the door.

A pale face appeared before my eyes...

The queen mother was startled and took a step back. After seeing who was coming, she breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest, still frightened, and said with a hint of displeasure: "It's you."

The person outside the door walked into the house without saying a word and closed the door.

The Queen Mother thought it was a little strange: "Why are you here so late?"

The man remained silent, and the queen mother became a little annoyed. She turned around and saw a flash of cold light. She almost jumped. Just when she thought she was going to die, she heard the sound of weapons colliding.

Lin San appeared with his men, stopped the assassin, and quickly subdued him.

The Queen Mother was still in shock. She glanced at the person kneeling on the ground and found that it was Wang Decai's apprentice 付 Ji.

"Jiuji, you..." The Queen Mother pointed at Ji and couldn't finish her sentence.

Although she knew that Wang Decai might be lying to her, she still held on to a glimmer of hope.

So when the emperor asked her to spread the news that Wang Decai had left a list for her, she thought it would bring in other people, but she didn't expect it to be Ji Ji.

"I have treated you and your master very well, and you actually want to kill me." The Queen Mother could not accept it. She felt that she had become a joke.

Everyone around her betrayed her.

No one treats her well.

There was no expression on Ji's overly pale face, as if he had not heard the Queen Mother's words, or even seemed indifferent to them.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and laughed at herself.

That's all.

Some things really can't be forced.

Lin San sent the person to Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng looked at this person and frowned slightly: "Why is it him?"

Lin San asked back: "What's wrong?"

Who else could it be if not him?

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "These are small shrimps, where are the big fish?"

Big fish?

Lin San's brain capacity...

Jiang Sheng walked a few steps on the ground and suddenly thought of something.

"Let's go, let's go to Guanghua Palace."

If Ji is just a small shrimp, then the big fish must have gone somewhere else.

Before, 께九 said that the man had both love and hate for Concubine Chun.

How should he torture his cousin to make him suffer...

Of course...

Killed the person he loved most...

…

As night falls, Guanghua Hall becomes even quieter.

In the backyard, the palace servants and eunuchs had already fallen asleep.

“Squeak!”

The door of An Jiu's room was pushed open.

A dark shadow walked in lightly.

No one in the room?

No……

Her breathing had betrayed her...

The black shadow dodged the attack from the person in the room, knocked him unconscious with a palm strike, and put him into a sack that had been prepared in advance...

However, as soon as he went out, he found something wrong. There were many more people in the yard. The emperor stood at the gate and looked at him coldly...

He smiled at the emperor, dodged the attacking secret guards, jumped onto the roof, and ran away...

"Chase!"

The emperor gave an order and took the lead in chasing after him...

The footsteps echoed.

Several figures quickly passed by in the darkness, and finally, everyone arrived at Jinxiu Palace.

Lin San led his men to surround the Jinxiu Palace.

The emperor walked closer and closer, and he finally saw the man clearly.

He had a pale face painted on, which looked particularly weird and eerie in the dark, completely different from his usual flattering smile.

"Emperor 께, you are so smart." His voice was shrill and unpleasant, like fingernails scratching something, which made people feel sick.

The emperor looked at him and said, "You killed my mother...Qiao Dong!!!"

Qiao Dong smiled.

"I thought about it. This is a trap. It's not a very clever one. Just like you hiding in the bed, it's so clumsy that people can see through it at a glance."

The emperor's emotions were surging, as if something was about to tear open his body and crawl out.

This guy was indeed the one who took action.

"Why did you kill my mother?"

Qiao Dong exhaled, with a savoring smile on his face.

"Why..." He shook his head: "Sister Jiang Xiao is like a fairy in my eyes. That year, I came to the capital with no money. Like those short-lived ghosts in the outer city, I was about to starve to death or freeze to death..."

Qiao Dong exhaled: "At this time, Sister Jiang Xiao appeared. She was different from those high-ranking people in the inner city. She did not despise me, gave me food, and asked someone to treat me..."

Qiao Dong shook his head: "She is so gentle, so beautiful, and so fragrant..."

fragrant?

Jiang Sheng couldn't bear it anymore: "So, my aunt saved you, and then you killed her?"

Qiao Dong turned around and looked at Jiang Sheng fiercely: "I am helping her get rid of it."

"Bullshit, what relief? Just kill her." Jiang Sheng pointed at Qiao Dong and cursed.

However, Qiao Dong started laughing again.

"Sister Jiang Xiao is such a good woman, but she fell in love with that beast. He has loved so many women, but he took Sister Jiang Xiao for himself and even... even loved you, a bastard..."

Qiao Dong looked at the emperor fiercely, his eyes filled with endless hatred for him.

"He also banished her to the cold palace, making her sad and miserable, and letting her live in a place like this..."

Qiao Dong said with deep feeling: "So...so..."

Qiao Dong's condition was already very abnormal. He looked at a certain place in the void and seemed to see Sister Jiang Xiao.

"Sister Jiang, I set you free and made you feel at ease. You should thank me...thank me...right?"

"Mad man...mad man...Auntie won't thank you. She will only hate you. She will hate that she was blind in the first place. She should have let you freeze to death on the street and shouldn't have saved you." Jiang Sheng cursed angrily.

He couldn't understand the madman's logic.

Qiao Dong looked at the emperor, and time seemed to have gone back to more than ten years ago.

He just looked at the prince shivering on the bed.

At that time, he didn't have the ability to kill the late emperor, but he could destroy his son. Didn't the late emperor want an heir? Then he would destroy him, make him a madman, and be despised and cursed by everyone.

This is the best revenge on the late emperor.

Qiao Dong laughed again.

"I have another gift for your Majesty."

He was carrying a sack on his shoulders, and from the looks of it there was a person inside.

Qiao Dong smiled wildly: "This is the first time that Prince Xiao has fallen in love with someone, right?"

The emperor said nothing.

"Then let's relive it again. What does it feel like to watch the person you love most die in front of you?"

After Qiao Dong finished speaking, he slapped the sack with his palm, and the emperor also attacked him. Qiao Dong did not dodge, but just smiled at the emperor.

The two palms landed almost at the same time.

The man in the sack was motionless. Qiao Dong spat out a mouthful of blood and half-knelt on the ground.

He chuckled and looked into the void again, as if he saw Sister Jiang Xiao, who was smiling at him, just like that winter more than ten years ago.

What a cold winter.

He curled up in a corner and waited to die.

A voice called him back to his thoughts.

"Are you okay?"

He found it ridiculous. Did he look okay?

"Save him first."

Qiao Dong opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. It was a girl with a beautiful appearance. She was standing with a few people, talking about something, carrying a medicine box on her back. The sunlight shone on her, giving her a layer of cool and holy light.

She was so pretty and beautiful. Qiao Dong felt that there was nothing more beautiful in the world than the scenery before his eyes.

He heard them call her Sister Jiang Xiao.

Sister Jiang, it sounds so nice...
