"My royal brother's plan has finally ended with me. As his elder sister, I have fulfilled his last wish. However, if there is a next life, I don't want to be his royal sister anymore." Long Qingyi smiled, took out the poison from her sleeve, and swallowed it.
Ze'er always thought that she was planning to leave, and was unwilling to be schemed against by her own brother. In fact, what Ze'er thought was right and wrong.
She was indeed unwilling to do so, because she had always protected her younger brother since she was young, and later she was willing to sacrifice her own innocence to eliminate the enemy leader for the stability of the country, but her emperor plotted against her in this way.
This made her feel betrayed, angry and regretful.
But she never thought of leaving, because she was the eldest princess of Gan Kingdom, so she accepted her brother's request, sat on the throne and became a foolish empress.
Long Qingyi is the eldest princess, Long Qingyi, a princess of the country of Gan, so as long as the country of Gan needs her, she can directly sacrifice her life, even if it leaves her with eternal infamy in the end.
"This old servant thanks the princess on behalf of the late emperor—" Quan De shouted and knelt down.
He knew that whatever he said at this point would be empty talk, so he could only bow to Long Qingyi to express Long Qingyi's righteousness and at the same time ease his inner guilt.
"Then come with me on this last journey." Long Qingyi pushed open the door with a smile.
But she didn't notice that Quan De didn't stand up at all, and was still kneeling on the ground, but he was no longer facing the door, but facing the gate.
“Squeak—”
"you······"
“Bang—”
Long Mujiang stood outside the door, looking at the fallen princess with a cold expression. He had originally planned to send Long Qingyi to the Qianqing Palace first, and then wait until the fight between the crown prince and Long Musi was almost over, and then reap the benefits.
However, Rick had been dishonest in the past half month and had been making frequent unusual moves. He actually found an unknown secret passage. It was only because he had been sending people to keep an eye on it everywhere that he found out about it.
Otherwise, no matter who it is, they will always know about this secret passage from Long Qingyi, and it will be disadvantageous to him if they run away, so he will kill Long Qingyi now.
Fortunately, whether it is the prince, Long Musi, or Xu Tianze, they have all arrived at the palace, so it doesn't matter if they are killed now.
"You're still alive?" Long Qingyi's eyes were filled with disbelief and confusion. "Why...why did you kill me?"
Secretly, Long Qingyi also hoped that Long Mujiang was alive, because as long as Long Mujiang was alive, Xu Tianze would not be helpless, at least there would be someone who would always stand behind him.
But now Long Mujiang is not only alive, but also wants to kill her as soon as they meet, which makes her suspicious. If Long Mujiang's death is not simple, then his appearance in the palace now means something.
"My dear aunt, you have guessed it, right?" Long Mujiang squatted down with a smile, his eyes full of desire.
"The person that the emperor really chose is me, and what you need to do is to clear all obstacles for me, so that I can ascend to the throne in the end." There was madness and ridicule on Long Musi's face.
These people were self-righteous and calculating, but in the end, they were all just to help him. Now that Long Qingyi was no longer useful, he naturally didn't mind revealing some information.
In this way, Long Qingyi can die with peace of mind. In the underworld, if the emperor knew the current situation, I believe he would be very happy there.
"Quan... De... uh..." Long Qingyi turned her head with great effort to look at Quan De who was still kneeling, but before she could say anything, she felt a huge pain in her right hand.
"Aunt, have you ever thought about why I can appear at the door without being noticed?" Long Mujiang smiled and crushed Long Qingyi's hand with his foot. "Because he is my man, hahahaha."
"Ah - cough cough." Long Qingyi wanted to say something, but then she curled up on the ground and rolled over and over because of the severe pain all over her body.
Long Mujiang took a half step back and just watched Long Qingyi rolling on the ground. As early as last night, he ordered people to change Long Qingyi's poison, and the delayed onset was turned into an immediate onset.
It's just the time for the poison to take effect, so it's not surprising that Long Qingyi is like this.
But his good aunt had to walk slowly. After all, she had two nephews who were about to go to the underworld. If they walked together, they would probably not be too lonely.
"Your Highness, the late emperor said that..." Quan De felt a little reluctant as he watched Long Qingyi rolling on the ground in pain.
"The late emperor is the late emperor, I am the king, and now your master is me!!" Long Mujiang's eyes narrowed and he scolded.
He was not only trying to kill Long Qingyi, but was also testing Quan De's obedience to him. At the beginning of the plan, Quan De was conscientious, but as it got closer to the end, Quan De obviously had his own little thoughts.
So he wanted to test whether Quan De was still on his side. If he was, he had to recognize his identity and be careful in what he said and did from then on.
If they didn't stand by him, he would let Quan De go to hell with his good aunt. After all, he didn't just send someone to replace his good aunt's poison yesterday.
Quan De felt Long Mujiang's murderous intent and thought of the poisonous insect in his body. Quan De knew that if he made the wrong choice, the final result would not be much better than Long Qingyi.
So Quan De lowered his head again, lowering his eyebrows to show his obedience.
Seeing this, Long Mujiang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Quan De to take Long Qingyi, who was in so much pain, to follow him. It was time for them to reap the final fruits.
Imperial Palace, Hall of Heavenly Purity
"Why isn't my aunt here?" After Xu Tianze came in, he looked around and found that Long Qingyi was nowhere to be found, and frowned.
But his question went unanswered. All the palace maids and eunuchs were waiting outside. Apart from Xu Tianze, the only ones who came in were Long Musi, the prince, and the silent Monkie.
Xu Tianze didn't get annoyed when he saw that no one answered him. He just found a place to sit down and played with the small incense burner in his hand over and over again. As the incense burner shook, it continuously emitted a fragrance that could calm the mind.
"I didn't expect Brother Xu to be living a leisurely life as usual." The prince smelled the fragrant aroma and felt his mind at peace. He quietly practiced his skills and found that there was nothing wrong with his body, then he smiled and joked.
Xu Tianze saw his behavior and said nothing, but just responded with a meaningful smile.
The prince felt a little embarrassed when he saw this. He knew that his previous actions had not been hidden from Xu Tianze. Now that he was being looked at like this by the person involved, he still felt a little guilty.
"Hmph, if it weren't for Qiaoqiao using his internal energy to test it, I'm afraid everyone present would have believed your joke." Long Musi said with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
There is nothing wrong with being cautious in this situation, but the prince still underestimated Xu Tianze. If Xu Tianze really wanted to poison him, even if he did it openly, others would not be able to tell.
