Chapter 135 You said you would make me the queen
"Why are there so many whys?" Xiao Mingzhe carried her horizontally as they walked out of the Yangxin Palace, with Qilin following behind them.
Emperor Ming knew that Xiao Mingzhe would not live long, so he was too lazy to stop him and ordered the imperial guards to make way.
"stop!"
Just as Xiao Mingzhe helped her onto Qilin's back, he saw a thin and tall figure walking out from the corner of the corridor.
"Don't be afraid, you and Qilin go first." Xiao Mingzhe saw who was coming and said coldly, "Lord Lu, long time no see. Are you tired of living today and are you looking for death?"
"You are the one who is about to die!" Lu Changqing spat on the ground, "Pah! So what if you are the God of War of Mobei? If you take the Heartbreak Powder, even a god would have a hard time surviving!"
Fang Qianxue pushed away Xiao Mingzhe's hand, and a hateful sneer appeared on her lips: "Leave this man to me to kill."
"Hahaha..." Lu Changqing laughed, "Fang Qianxue, do you still think you are a Phoenix Girl? You want to kill me, what gives you the right?"
Then he stopped smiling, raised his hand, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Shoot this unfaithful woman to death with arrows!"
Arrows rained down all around. Fang Qianxue grabbed Xiao Mingzhe, and the two of them lay on the back of the Qilin. There seemed to be a dazzling white halo around them that blocked all the arrows.
"Hurry! Don't let her run away!" Lu Changqing shouted.
Qilin easily leaped out of the rain of arrows and jumped onto the roof.
"Kill him." Fang Qianxue whispered.
Although she could no longer understand Qilin's words, Qilin still listened to her.
A ball of light sprayed from the Qilin's mouth towards the man on the ground, swallowing him up in an instant.
"Help! Help!" A gorgeously dressed woman rushed out from the Yangxin Palace and tried to throw herself into the fireball but was stopped by a palace servant. "Lu Lang! Lu Lang!"
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. Lord Lu has been burned to death." The eunuch said expressionlessly.
Fang Qianxue looked back and heard the sound of a man struggling in the fire behind her. Until he turned into black ash, she felt no wave of emotion in her heart.
Xu Miaoyan threw herself into a pile of black charcoal and cried like a tearful person.
The Qilin landed at the Shili Pavilion outside the city, and thousands of soldiers knelt down to greet him: "Prince! Princess!"
"Qianxue!" Xiao Mingzhe called twice and found that Fang Qianxue had fallen asleep.
The ghost needle technique consumes too much energy, it is a miracle that she can hold on until now.
Xiao Mingzhe carried Fang Qianxue down from Qilin, and immediately a middle-aged woman in cloth came up to him: "Qianxue! Qianxue, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Highness," Xuelang hurriedly reported, "This is the old lady of the Fang family, Mrs. Li. Lord Fang and his men just brought her here from Luzhou."
"Go get a military doctor!" Xiao Mingzhe still held Fang Qianxue in his arms. He laid her on the flat grass and explained to everyone in the Fang family, "She was just given a ghost needle by the demon. She is weak now."
"Sister!" Fang Jue held Fang Qianxue's hand distressedly, "Why did they use some kind of ghost needle technique on Sister?"
Xiao Mingzhe glanced at the old lady of the Fang family: "In order to let Qianxue and the Imperial Concubine exchange their fates."
A gray-haired military doctor examined Fang Qianxue's pulse and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The princess is just weak and will wake up after a few days of rest."
“Your Highness!” Qingcong walked through the crowd, holding a war report in his hand. “Urgent news from Mobei, the Huoluo Nation’s rebellion has spread to the border of Luzhou, and Luzhou City has been besieged. The leader of the rebellion specifically wants you, Your Highness, to fight, otherwise… he will massacre everyone in Luzhou City!”
The veins on Xiao Mingzhe's forehead were throbbing. He looked down at the person lying on the ground and bowed to Li, saying, "Madam, I still have to go to Mobei to fight the enemy. Please take Qianxue to the southern border to find Liaoyuan Hou. I have an appointment with him first, and he will protect you."
"Don't worry, Prince Beining. I will take good care of Qianxue." Li returned the greeting and glanced at her unconscious daughter. "Take care, Prince. If we are destined to be together in the future, you and Qianxue will still be able to..."
"Your Highness and sister will see each other again!" Fang Jue interrupted.
Xiao Mingzhe nodded slightly, then turned back and asked the golden lantern eyes: "Are you following Qianxue, or me?"
Qilin rubbed his chin against Fang Qianxue's forehead.
"I'll feel more at ease with you following her. I'll be leaving now." Xiao Mingzhe patted its head, stood up and walked towards the thousands of soldiers.

Shangjing City, Beining Palace.
The whole house was empty, with only a small house in the backyard where the light was still on.
"Miss, why are you still here?" A little maid pulled Yang Yunwan's sleeve and said, "Let's escape back to the Yang family! The emperor is seriously ill, and the world will soon belong to the tenth prince. When the tenth prince takes over the world, the master can find you a good family and let you marry in glory!"
Ever since Xiao Mingzhe and Fang Qianxue left, Emperor Ming suddenly fell ill. The Weiyang Palace was kept strictly under control and no news could get out.
"Didn't they say Xu Miaoyan is a Phoenix Girl?" Yang Yunwan rolled his eyes. "How could the emperor be seriously ill if he got a Phoenix Girl? What kind of luck is this?"
Before the situation became clear, she dared not go anywhere, for fear that her grand remarriage would turn into a grand funeral.
"Hush!" said the little maid, "I just heard the young master say by chance that the emperor was poisoned. As for who poisoned him, no one knows."
"Ah?!" Yang Yunwan was frightened and huddled in the corner, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt. "Could it be that my sister..."
There are not many people who can poison the emperor.
"I don't know, anyway, the world will soon belong to the Yang family," the little maid said happily, "The Queen has been preparing to become the Queen Mother these days, and the Master and the Young Master have also been preparing to be promoted these days."
"What a bunch of idiots..." Yang Yunwan muttered softly.
"What did you say, young lady?"
"Nothing, go back and tell them that I am very comfortable here and will not return to the Yang family for the time being." Yang Yunwan pushed the little maid out, "You can also persuade father and elder brother that the emperor is not dead yet, so don't be too ostentatious."
***
In the Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Beining has defeated the rebellious army of the Western Regions in Mobei," a eunuch said with a smile while holding a military report, "According to the date, the poison of the Broken Heart Powder should take effect."
"Really? Ahem... I'm so happy today!" Emperor Ming supported Xu Miaoyan and coughed while laughing. He couldn't stop feeling happy when he thought of Xiao Mingzhe's death.
After Xiao Mingzhe dies, no one in this world can compete with him anymore. Sure enough, destiny is on his side!
"When does your majesty plan to make me the queen?" Xu Miaoyan asked, "I heard that the Yang family has been jumping up and down these days. Prime Minister Yang has also spread the news that you are seriously ill and difficult to recover, as if the world has already belonged to their Yang family."
The old emperor frowned and said, "How dare you!"
The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"I...I want to depose the queen," Emperor Ming panted, "Miao Yan, you have worked hard these past few days. I want to make you the queen. Come, draft the decree!"
But before the imperial edict was written, Xiao Mingdao suddenly lost his breath, covered his heart with his hands and rolled his eyes.
“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!” In the Yangxin Palace, Xu Miaoyan cried loudly as she looked at the emperor who had just died. “You said you would make me the queen. You can’t just abandon me like this!”
