Chapter 242

Ye Jingyue returned to her own courtyard.

9527 just sent a message.

Six days ago, those who entered and exited the emperor's bedroom were always those who served the emperor.

However, a maid entered for the first time.

The maid who usually cleaned the bedroom fell seriously ill that day.

So someone was found to replace her.

The maid who replaced her went in to clean.

However, she accidentally fell into the river in the Yu Garden that night and drowned.

At this point, what else did Ye Jingyue not understand

?

Was it an accident? I'm afraid it was man

-made. The letter must have reached the designated person.

Ye Jingyue replied to 9527.

[Check the maid's surroundings, check her interpersonal relationships, and why the sick maid fell ill. Tell me when you find out. 0

9527: [Yes, boss.]

After 9527 replied to Ye Jingyue, he saw the figure of Emperor Xiao Ci walking over. He

immediately entrusted his body.

"Yan'er."

As soon as Xiao Ci came in, he looked at Xia Muyan with a loving look.

9527, who had been entrusted, was now Xia Muyan's soul.

Xia Muyan looked at Xiao Ci with disgust in her eyes.

Having died once, she certainly understood that Xiao Ci's eyes were not affectionate at all.

He looked at dogs with affection.

Xia Muyan looked at him coldly, with no sadness or joy in her eyes.

She only had disgust for him.

Xiao Ci felt a pain in his heart.

He spoke carefully.

"Yan'er, you're still blaming me, right?"

Xiao Ci has been in control of the government these years, and he has dominated with iron-blooded and brutal means. No one in the whole Daqian Kingdom disobeys him.

When he talks and laughs, people's clans are exterminated. He

is a complete tyrant.

In these years, he has been majestic and high above. He

has never been as humble as he is now

. The only one who can make him like this is the goddess Xia Muyan.

Xia Muyan sneered.

She sat on the chair with a lazy posture.

The haggard face in the past became radiant because of the soul of the goddess, with an innate deity temperament.

"Xiao Ci, you have been acting affectionate for a long time, you don't think I will be fooled for the second time, right?"

Xiao Ci's figure froze.

The affection in his eyes was broken.

"Yan'er, I regret it. I thought you had extraordinary abilities, I thought you could protect yourself, I didn't expect that I would kill you."

Xia Muyan couldn't help laughing.

"It was you who gave me the power-dissolving powder to drink, and you also killed Zhaoxia and Caiyun, my two guardians. You left me, a useless person, in the palace, and successively married four concubines who were my mortal enemies. And now you tell me that you think I can protect myself."

If her martial arts were just destroyed.

If she still had Zhaoxia and Caiyun by her side, or even any one of them.

She would not die.

But Xiao Ci, destroyed her martial arts that could protect herself, destroyed her body, and turned her into a waste. He

also cut off her left and right arms.

And pulled all her enemies around her.

Then he told her painfully that he thought she could save herself .

Don't you think it's ridiculous?

Xiao Ci hugged his head painfully.

"I killed Zhaoxia and Caiyun because they were corrupted by you. I am an emperor, but they treated me with no regard. Moreover, they even killed the baby in Guifei's belly. As an emperor, how could I tolerate them?"

Zhaoxia and Caiyun never looked down on Xiao Ci.

In the palace, they never took him, the emperor, seriously.

They only cared about Xia Muyan, their master.

Xiao Ci was already very unhappy with them.

It happened that they joined forces to kill Guifei's child. Xiao Ci simply went all out and killed them directly on the charge of murdering the royal family.

They were beheaded on the spot.

Chaoxia and Caiyun were Xia Muyan's right-hand men and were trained by Xia Muyan. They were both

highly skilled in martial arts.

It took all 300 imperial guards to kill them.

The scene was extremely bloody and brutal.

When Xia Muyan rushed over, there were only the bodies of Chaoxia and Caiyun chopped into pieces on the ground.

Xia Muyan couldn't bear it and fainted.

Xia Muyan was pregnant at the time.

Xiao Ci knew how important Chaoxia and Caiyun were to her, and she would not stop after she woke up.

And her martial arts were even more outstanding.

No one could stop her then.

So he gave Xia Muyan some power-dissolving powder.

But it's not a lifelong power-dissolving powder.

She will recover in a month.

Xiao Ci thought that he would let her calm down for a month and then she would be fine.

But he didn't expect that the power powder was replaced by someone with ulterior motives.

It was replaced with permanent power powder.

After Xia Muyan woke up, she was very disappointed with him and never opened the gate for him again.

Unfortunately, there was a war on the border at that time.

He had no one to use. He

could only lead the troops to the battlefield himself.

He left a trusted person to Xia Muyan at that time.

But... that trusted person had already become the prime minister's man.

The one who changed the dressing was also that trusted person.

That's why Xia Muyan died tragically later.

He was indeed the culprit.

But he was also kept in the dark.

Xia Muyan sneered at the news.

"You are an emperor, why do they look down on you, Xiao Ci? You don't want me to recall the things you did for you. If you want others to respect you, you should do things that will make people respect you."

"Also, you said that Zhaoxia and Caiyun killed the concubine's child. You know what happened. In fact, you have long wanted to get rid of Zhaoxia and Caiyun."

Otherwise, how come the three hundred guards were all in Yu Garden

and had already set up their formation.

Obviously, the death of the concubine's child was a trap.

Xiao Ci wanted to get rid of the baby in Concubine Gui's belly.

Because Concubine Gui was the daughter of the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister was powerful and ambitious at that time.

If the baby in Concubine Gui's belly was born, if it was a prince, with the Prime Minister's means, he would definitely get rid of Xiao Ci as the emperor and support Concubine Gui's child to the throne.

By then, the whole country would belong to the Prime Minister's family.

Therefore, Concubine Gui's child must die.

As for why Zhaoxia and Caiyun were set up.

First, Xiao Ci had been resentful of them for a long time.

Second, they were Xia Muyan's people.

Xia Muyan and the Prime Minister were mortal enemies.

It was reasonable for her people to kill Concubine Gui's daughter.

Xiao Ci also spent so much effort to kill Zhaoxia and Caiyun, and the Prime Minister gave an explanation.

In addition, this incident caused a civil war between the emperor and the empress.

It was also an explanation to the Prime Minister.

By the way, the flames were transferred to Xia Muyan. Killing

two birds with one stone!

Her heart was cold at that time, and she had seen through Xiao Ci's disguise and cold-bloodedness.

Death is also a kind of relief.

She was originally a goddess in the upper plane, and came to the lower world because of the tribulation.

It is undeniable that Xiao Ci was her tribulation.

It made her heartbroken and enlightened.

She returned to the upper world and her cultivation level increased greatly.

But many years later, her cultivation level stagnated again.

The damage she suffered during the tribulation was too great, and her seeds were left in the lower world.

She has cause and effect here.
