Chapter 317 Li Jidao's Cause of Death
Li Jidao said, "I know the map of the palace tunnels. I will use my divine consciousness to share it with your uncle. When the time comes, you can lead people out along the tunnels. After you get out, contact the individual candidates who are taking the exams. Don't contact the people from the Eight Great Families. They will help you when the time comes."
Nowadays, any examinations mentioned are obviously fake.
Those people were probably either bribed by Xiao Yun or were in danger, so they should be united.
Speaking of this, Li Jidao is still worried about her Feng Ying. Feng Ying can be promoted directly without being in the tribute courtyard, but she doesn't know whether Xiao Yun will target Feng Ying and specifically capture Feng Ying.
After the two of them shared, Song Jie used a red dot to command King Heng.
Prince Heng looked back at the crowded tunnel, but he was not alarmed. He said, "Mother, it's Uncle Thirteen. We can go out now."
Concubine Gao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes became fierce and calm, and she said, "Go out and find your grandmother. We will be back soon."
Xiao Yun, along with the masters of the Changsun family and a group of imperial city guards, killed any palace servants they saw, without giving them any chance to explain or catch their breath.
But even after killing so many people, they still couldn't find Prince Heng's brothers and Concubine Gao.
Xiao Yun turned around and looked at the leader of the Changsun family angrily: "How could they get away? Is there a traitor among us?"
The leader of the Changsun family said: "I'm afraid that he was rescued by the King of Luoyang. Only the King of Luoyang and the Li family could rescue people silently in the palace."
"He's not dead yet? What on earth does Cui Chengfeng do for a living?"
The Changsun family lit the lamps of life for Li Jidao and others. None of the lamps went out, and the lamp of King Luoyang was brighter than before. It was estimated that he had some adventure.
The leader of the Changsun clan said, "Cui Chengfeng's life lamp just became stronger. He should be in the city, but it is obvious that he alone is no match for the King of Luoyang and his men."
As for Chang Sun Zhan, the light was not very strong, but it was not extinguished either. No one knew what had happened to him or where he was.
"Waste, all waste!" Xiao Yun looked very impatient.
He originally wanted to kill Prince Heng's brothers, so that he would be the emperor's only adult prince, and then the emperor would give the throne to him with perfect legitimacy.
But I couldn't find anyone.
Xiao Yun said: "Then let's go directly to Weiyang Palace."
That's where the emperor lives.
Everyone was stunned, but soon they adjusted their expressions. Everyone looked solemn and followed Xiao Yun forward.
When Xiao Yun rushed into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, his biological mother Huo Nanfeng, Xiao Wenniang and the Queen were there.
Xiao Wenniang saw Xiao Yun coming in, and rushed over excitedly and said, "Brother, you are finally here. If you don't come, the imperial concubine will let this old thing go."
She has always been the emperor and Huo Nanfeng.
Huo Nanfeng was afraid of his son and explained hastily, "Yun'er, your father loves you. He originally wanted to leave the throne to you."
"Then why haven't you appointed a crown prince yet?" Xiao Yun said, "It was originally left to me, but when something went wrong, you distanced yourself from it. Mother, how can you still trust this old thing?"
"As a woman, you can only enjoy your life if your power is in your own hands and in the hands of your son. If you rely on a man, he will only make you bow down to him. If he gets unhappy, he might take back everything he has given you. At this point, how can you still trust him?"
Huo Nanfeng was stunned by what he said.
Huo Nanfeng thought about it and slowly walked to his son's side, which meant that he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and the emperor.
The old emperor looked at Huo Nanfeng and Xiao Yun in shock.
She coughed repeatedly in anger, and then said: "Nanfeng, am I not good enough to you? For you, I risked the world's disapproval, and have always protected and loved you. I treat you better than my own mother. For you, I threw away the princess and drove the queen crazy. But now you still doubt that I am not sincere enough to you. You, you, cough, cough, are you really worthy of me?"
Huo Nanfeng was very hesitant.
Xiao Yun walked up to the emperor with her hands behind her back and sneered, "You are selfish. You only treat yourself well. You protected your mother and attacked the empress because you were afraid of the empress's family power. You killed the empress's maternal family and abandoned the empress's children. You know that no matter what you do, the empress will not forgive you."
"If you really loved my mother, why would you separate us even though you knew I was wandering outside?"
"What protection? You are the emperor. Who dares to hurt me? So what if I take him to my side? As an emperor, don't you dare to tell others who you like?"
"As for Concubine Gao, you didn't like her, but you gave birth to two sons with her. You found two competitors for me, but you didn't eliminate them for me in advance. After all, these people are all your sons, so you just distinguish between distant and close ones, but you don't want to kill any of them."
"What kind of love is this? You are showing off your power and authority to everyone. You just move your fingers and we are like puppets, with our love, hate and vengeance all controlled by you!"
Huo Nanfeng felt her mind becoming clearer and clearer. She pointed at the emperor and said, "Yes, you love yourself. If you really loved me, you wouldn't have let me be inferior to others for more than ten years. What kind of emperor are you if you don't even dare to express your love?"
"You are clearly using your balancing act on us."
The old emperor was accused by his two most beloved people and he coughed in anger.
Xiao Yun didn't feel the slightest bit of pity. At this moment, he took out his sword and pointed it at the old emperor, saying, "Father, write an edict to pass the throne to me. Then you can still be your emperor. Otherwise, don't blame your son for being cold-blooded and heartless."
"It's not that I don't want to write it, it's just that it's useless even if I write it." The old emperor said with a dark face: "How do you think our family got the throne? It was based on the name in the heavenly book."
Xiao Yun was stunned: "Heavenly Book?"
The old emperor coughed twice, sat up straight and said, "Yes, the emperor has no right to write an edict of appointment or dismissal. This is why I have not appointed you as the crown prince yet. There is a wordless heavenly book in the middle of Taiye Lake. It needs the blood of the son of destiny born by the Li and Song families to open it. It has been more than a hundred years since the last time the heavenly book was opened. Originally, there was hope that Song Jie and Li Jidao could get married this time. Maybe the blood of their child could open the heavenly book. The direction of the country's development in the next hundred years and who the future emperor will be are all written in it, but Li Jidao died suddenly."
The old emperor looked at the void in front of him and thought of something. He said, "I suspect that the Li family knew some secret, so Secretary Li ordered someone to kill the girl. Otherwise, why did Li Hongxin's eldest son run away? How could he kill Li Jidao?"
"The Li family is willing to exterminate their own descendants in order to cause internal turmoil in our Song family!"
