Chapter 103 The next night, Song Shiwei received an accurate reply from the noble family. Only one word...
The next night, Song Shiwei received an accurate reply from the family.
There is only one word: do it!
The flickering flames licked black teeth marks on the letter that had just been delivered. Song Shiwei pinched the corner and stared blankly at the ink words curling up into gray butterflies in the flames. The heat waves climbed up along the paper, burning his fingertips.
Song Shi withdrew his fingertips with a slight twitch. His bony fingers had unknowingly turned red hot and blood was seeping out under his skin which was as thin as a cicada's wing.
I'm afraid His Majesty has also received the news.
She...is probably going to be sad.
Song Shiwei pursed his lips, and his shoulders suddenly rose and fell violently, as if an invisible hand had grasped his throat. The coughs that escaped from his throat were broken and sharp, like dead branches breaking in the cold wind, and each cough was accompanied by a violent tremor in his chest.
The bloody sputum splashed onto the handkerchief, soaking up the enchanting red plum blossoms, forming a glaring contrast with her pale face.
"Host! Host, you are coughing up blood!" The little blue ball in Song Shiwei's mind jumped up worriedly and gave her a full body examination.
"It's okay. You've been overworked recently and you'll be fine after resting for a while." She burned the handkerchief with the blood from the cough and comforted him softly.
"Recover well. How can the host recover well after doing this? Who knows how the villain will torture the host and even cut the host into pieces."
Song Shiwei smiled faintly.
"That is destiny."
Seeing tears welling up in its eyes, it looked like it was about to cry. Song Shiwei seemed to remember something and asked softly, "How much of the mission has been completed?"
"It was already 100% when the host attempted to abdicate." The little blue ball wiped the tears on his face and reported diligently.
"If the situation becomes urgent, you can send me back to my original world. That way I will be safe." With calm eyebrows, Song Shiwei gently wiped away the tears that overflowed from Little Blue Ball.
In her impression, there are not many people who are so kind to her, so she cherishes every one of them.
Although she had no intention of returning to her original world to see the child who tortured her to death, at this moment, she was willing to coax this silly and cute creature from another world.
No matter what her reasons were, the charges of treason and forcing the emperor to abdicate were valid. If Wu Qining really wanted to kill her, she would admit it.
All of this was the path she chose, no one forced her. But, I hope she can show some mercy to her, give her a cup of poisoned wine or a piece of white silk to let her die quickly. Don't be like that kid, who cut her with hundreds of knives before she died.
She will feel pain too.
Holding the secret report, Wu Qining's hand trembled, like a child who was just beginning to learn, he read each word one by one, fearing that he might have made a mistake in identifying one of them. His fingertips sank deeply into the secret report, poking countless holes in it.
The scarlet eyes were fixed on a certain shocking fragment, as if they wanted to burn it out. Wu Qining froze in place, even her breathing froze. She carefully took back the letter, closed her eyes and tried to let herself rest, and tried to slow down her burning breath. She said to herself:
All of this was a dream, a nightmare she had before. When she woke up, the master was still by her side, looking at her tenderly or sternly.
This is all a dream! Dream!
She raised her bloodshot eyes and suddenly threw everything on the desk to the ground. She collapsed on the table with a loud bang, gasping for breath. She smoothed out the secret letter that she had crumpled into a ball. Her trembling fingertips mechanically stroked the words on it, as if this could overturn the bloody truth.
Wu Qining read it over and over again, like a self-torture. The last time, she finally understood it.
The tears she had been holding back finally fell like a river bursting its banks, covering her face, unable to be stopped any longer. She covered her eyes with her hands, her whole body trembling, sobbing in pain.
"Your Majesty, you..." Xuan Jian cautiously poked his head out from outside the hall.
"Get out." The hoarse roar was accompanied by a broken cry. The lower half of her face was twisted and hideous. Her white teeth bit her lips fiercely, tearing them apart. The overflowing blood almost covered her chin, which was particularly creepy.
Seeing Wu Qining like this, Xuan Jian trembled and did not dare to leave, for fear that she might encounter an accident.
"Get out! Don't make me say it again." Tears fell on the documents through her fingers, and the crown on her head jingled as she trembled. Her voice became particularly flat. Xuan Jian was chilled, and she immediately retreated in silence.
Why, hasn't she been obedient enough these days? Whoever she wants to get rid of, she will help her behind her back. As long as she doesn't cause trouble to the government and murder loyal people, she will rely on her. Even if she offends her from time to time, she can accept it as long as she is always by her side.
She had even thought about it. After getting rid of those evil families, if the Grand Tutor was really keen on power, she could hold on to it and make her second to none, or even rule the world with her.
Wasn't she good enough for her!
She actually wanted to kill her, and even wanted to unite with the family she hated the most to kill her together!
She had asked her to stay in the mansion for a while before, just to let her calm down and avoid the turmoil in the court. She did not have complete control over her subordinates.
Because of this, she wanted to kill her! She wanted to usurp her power! She wanted to establish a new emperor!
Those eyes seemed to be drenched in boiling iron, and the scarlet blood coiled on the whites of the eyes like a spider web, dyeing the pupils into burning charcoal.
Wu Qining wiped the tears from his face fiercely and cleaned himself up.
The tightly closed palace door opened again, and Wu Qining walked out step by step against the light. The jade beads hanging from the crown tassels swayed lightly in front of her forehead, but they could not hide the cold light bursting out of her phoenix eyes. The tail of her eyes was slightly raised like a scimitar drawn from its sheath, and her dark pupils were like a deep pool of poison. The murderous intent condensed in her eyes was like a frozen river in December, which could tear apart the prey that dared to offend the majesty of heaven in just a moment.
The emperor's majestic aura was fully displayed without any flaws.
"Send the message to the commander and deputy commander of the Imperial Guards."
The Grand Tutor probably didn't expect that Lin Sheng, the current commander of the Imperial Guards who had always been loyal to her, would actually turn against her. Although she doesn't have much trust in her at present, she can still make use of her to some extent.
After discussing in secret for a long time, Wu Qining rubbed her eyes tiredly. She looked coldly at Xuan Jian who was serving beside her for a long time, and then said coldly: "If...Teacher wants to see me, summon him immediately, without any delay."
Grand Master, I can give you another chance. As long as you walk into the Yongning Palace, kneel down and confess your sins, I can forgive you a little.
Perhaps that group of noble families had found something against the Grand Tutor to threaten her, or perhaps the Grand Tutor was gathering information for her. Wu Qining lay on the couch, watching the dark sky change from day to night, and she found one reason after another for her Grand Tutor.
Taifu, if you just give in a little and hug me, I will forgive you for what you have done.
Grand Master...
As long as you step into this Yongning Palace, you don't have to do anything, just look at me, I...
Her bottom line was lowered lower and lower. She kept her eyes open all night long, staring at the beams of Yongning Palace, fearing that she would fall asleep accidentally.
The inky sky was torn apart by the first rays of dawn. The morning mist wrapped in dew dripped on the beams, and Wu Qining suddenly laughed. The laughter was like a rusty gear spinning idly, squeezed out of her throat without any warmth. She hunched her back, her shoulders twitched, and her laughter became louder and louder, almost shrill in the end, as if she wanted to vomit out the last bit of life in her chest.
Her tears had long since dried up in the endless waiting, and what filled her again was only the surging hatred.
The magnificent palace was shrouded in an extremely oppressive atmosphere, and dark clouds were pressing heavily on the palace. The young emperor, wearing heavy black iron armor and holding the national treasure sword, stood in front of the Yongning Palace, overlooking the imperial guards who were ready to go below.
The pair of phoenix eyes were as sharp as an eagle, sweeping across every corner. The imperial guards below were wearing armor, holding sharp blades, staring at their monarch with burning eyes, waiting for the emperor's order.
"Report, the rebels are approaching the palace gate and are trying to attack us from inside and outside." A general hurried forward and reported loudly.
Wu Qining narrowed his eyes and drew out the national treasure sword. Wherever the sword pointed, cold light flashed.
"All officers and men, listen to my orders and act according to the plan. Capture the main culprit alive, and kill the rest without mercy. If any traitor dares to step out of the palace gate, he will be executed immediately, regardless of his identity."
After luring the rebels into the palace as planned, the one-sided battle situation was reversed in an instant.
Where the sword flashed, blood splattered, limbs were broken, the young man from the aristocratic family widened his eyes, and his head slammed into the pool of blood. Scarlet blood flowed down the white jade steps, and unrecognizable corpses lay scattered on the road.
The sounds of shouting, screaming, and the clashing of weapons intertwined together, turning the nine-story palace into a purgatory on earth.
A royal guard waved his sword to block the attack directed at Song Shiwei, grabbed her arm and led her out of the battlefield.
"I am a subordinate of General Lin Sheng, and I have been ordered to guard the South Gate. I ask you to leave now, or it will be too late for His Majesty to arrive."
Walking along the path to the heavily guarded South Gate, Lin Sheng briefly described the current situation and led the white horse that had been prepared long ago to her side.
"Grandmaster, go to Jingzhou before His Majesty arrives. Never show up again in the future."
She obeyed the order of the late emperor and was loyal to the Grand Tutor, so she naturally knew her identity. But now that His Majesty was like this, she was not sure whether he would let her go if she knew the truth.
The most urgent task is to save her life first.
"Then you..." As Song Shiwei walked towards the palace gate with his shoulders clamped, he looked at Lin Sheng.
"Walk……"
The scorching force hit her back hard, and Song Shiwei staggered a few steps. With a crisp "clang" sound, the arrow pierced her shoulder with a sharp whistle, pinning Song Shiwei to the ground.
She raised her eyes with difficulty, and the last thing she remembered was Wu Qining drawing his bow and shooting an arrow.
Wu Qining sat steadily on his tall horse, his left hand steady as a rock holding up the longbow. The cold arrow shone coldly in the twilight.
She narrowed her sinister almond-shaped eyes and looked at Song Shiwei who was lying unconscious in a pool of blood.
He waved his hand and said in a deep voice:
"Take it!"
The imperial guards around them raised their swords and pointed them at Lin Sheng and Song Shiwei.
Wu Qining lowered her eyes to look at the imperial physician who was helping her stop the bleeding, and murmured in a low voice:
"Master, where are you going to escape to?"
