Chapter 320: Three-legged Triangle (Part 1, Grand Finale)
Good background?
Xiao Wen's mother suddenly understood what Xiao Yun meant.
Before, Xiao Yun was an adopted son, and he looked down on Wang Duan because of his noble birth, so he tried his best to belittle Wang Duan in front of him.
Now that he has become a prince, he feels that Wang Duan has a good family background.
In fact, he just felt that the previous Wang Duan was difficult to control, but the current Wang Duan can be controlled.
He was just feeling low self-esteem from beginning to end.
Therefore, the person in his heart from the beginning to the end was Wang Duan, and he was just a chess piece used by him to hide his inferiority complex.
I was wrong.
I thought his love was love, so I loved him wholeheartedly and destroyed my father and my family.
Xiao Wenniang took two steps back, then suddenly rushed towards Wang Duan and took out a dagger from her sleeve.
The fifth brother wanted to help Wang Duan block it, but was rejected by Wang Duan with his body. Wang Duan raised his foot to take away Xiao Wenniang's dagger, and punched Wang Duan with his eyes as cold as ice.
After knocking Wang Duan to the ground, she picked up Wang Duan's dagger and rushed over, riding on Wang Duan, raised her hand and stabbed the dagger into Wang Duan's chest. Then she turned the dagger, hatred in her eyes.
Xiao Wen's mother opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
Wang Duan said, "I just hate brainless women. Xiao Yun has made it very clear, and you have heard it very clearly. He has been using you and belittling me. It is obviously his fault. Why do you want to kill me? What is your basis for wanting to kill me?"
She used to be a calm person, but now she really can't help it.
"You brainless person, why do you like to target me?"
"But, if I say, Xiao Yun, is wrong, then I am, then... wrong... ah!"
Xiao Wenniang used up her last bit of strength, looked at Wang Duan, and said these words in a soft voice, then she pounded her hands and closed her eyes.
Wang Duan frowned slightly, confusion in his eyes, and looked up at his fifth brother.
The fifth brother couldn't stand Xiao Yun's coveting of Wang Duan, so he took a bow and arrow and shot directly at one of Xiao Yun's eyes...

"The weather seems to have changed!" Li Jidao said that they could not enter the city, so they stood outside the city gate.
The weather was originally fine, but suddenly the southwest direction turned blood red.
When there are strange signs in the sky, something big will happen in the court.
Li Jidao has been keeping in touch with people in the city.
She thought Xiao Yun had been captured by King Heng. Logically, the city gates should have been wide open at this time, but they were still tightly closed.
Li Jidao looked at Song Jie who was speaking and said, "We should have changed the life direction of the Song family, but the feedback will not be so quick. The royal Song branch has been ungrateful since the time of Taizu. What do you think will happen to us even if King Heng opens the door?"
"Especially you."
Li Jidao added: "And me, if others know the secret between your family and the Song family, Brother Heng Wang will know it sooner or later."
Song Jie nodded: "I think so too."
He added: "How long do we have to wait for them to die? Someone from the Song family will have to step up and clean up the mess, but they won't choose me."
Because the nodes of fate have been changed, King Heng and others may be people who should not exist in this world, so they will eventually be wiped out by fate, but when will they be wiped out?
Before being wiped out, who can stop them from doing whatever they want?
And there is also the son left behind by the Crown Princess. The change in fate makes him the Crown Princess's heir. The world will be set right, and that branch of the Song family will rise.
Are the Song family members necessarily friendly to them?
Li Jidao said: "No matter who sits on this throne, it is better for me to sit on it."
"Now that the old emperor is dead, why do you say that Prince Heng is the one who brought order out of chaos? He could also be the murderer of his father and brother. So, the world is in need of someone who can clean up the emperor's entourage."
But Song Jie could no longer return to Luoyang, as Xiao Yun had sent people to intercept him in order to capture him.
Li Jidao thought of a place to go and said, "I once knew a man named Xiao. I helped him kill his competitor. Now he has taken over his father's territory and became a military governor. Let's go find him and join forces."
Song Jie nodded: "Okay."
Li Jidao couldn't leave by herself, she had to bring her family out, she said: "Wait a moment, I will think of a way to get my mother and brother out."
She walked towards the jungle. Fang Heming watched her walk away and said to Song Jie, "Master, the young lady's old friend is not your old friend. If you go there, will you make a wedding dress for her or sew clothes for yourself?"
"The young lady only said that she would sit on the throne herself, but she didn't say it had to be you."
"Although there has never been a female emperor in the dynasty, it is precisely because of this that we have to be on guard."
Song Jie frowned and looked at him.
Fang Heming said, "We have all been back, and we all know what happened to the Li family's ancestor. He sowed seeds and left behind a son, but the Crown Princess was afraid that he would interfere in government affairs, so she wanted to kill him. This couldn't be controlled by Emperor Taizu, right?"
"Your Majesty, women are also ambitious and will do anything to gain power. Don't be fooled by their gentle and beautiful appearance."
"You are meant to be an emperor, not an emperor's husband. If the world must be divided into protagonists and supporting roles, you should be the protagonist, because we, the followers, don't want to be followers of the supporting roles."
So this is why the Crown Princess killed her lover.
Even if the ancestor of the Li family had no intention of rebelling, what about those people following him?
If you don't rebel, you will die.
This is when you have to rebel.
"Learn from the past, your men have seen the end of you and the young lady. Your Majesty, if we move forward in three or four days, we will still be able to return to Luoyang." Fang Heming said in a low voice.
Gu Changqing felt that what his brother said made sense, so he knelt down and said, "My Lord, women are not that important. You should think twice."
Song Jie looked in the distance, his brows furrowed, his eyes hesitant...

In the palace, Concubine Gao asked Prince Heng why he hadn't opened the city gates and released those disciples.
"Your uncle Wang and Miss Li are both outside. They have served as the Dragon's followers. If you don't open the city gates now, how can you calm people's hearts?"
"The city gates must be opened, but they can't be opened like this. Mother, Prince Luoyang and Miss Li are so capable. Who will sit on the throne after the gates are opened?"
"I have already sent people to capture the Li family. The city gates can be opened, but these people from the Li family must become my hostages."
"Without something in hand, how can you let so many powerful people enter the city?"
Concubine Gao disagreed and said, "The Li family is our benefactor..."
"Mother, you are now the Queen Mother! What benefactor are you still thinking about? Do you know your own identity?"
Concubine Gao wanted to say something, but when she looked at her son's young but serious face, she was choked.
But at this moment, a palace maid came to report that Feng Ying and his men had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Prince Heng was shocked. He looked at his mother anxiously and then scolded, "Search for it, you rubbish! Even if you have to dig three feet underground, you must find it."
The palace gates were placed under martial law in waves, then opened, then placed under martial law again, then opened again.
The sounds from the bell and drum tower also rose and fell, and anyone with a discerning eye would know that something had happened in the palace.
But these anomalies seem to have little impact on ordinary people.
Oh, it cannot be said that there is no impact at all. They stay indoors, and have countless assumptions in their minds. Their spirits are pulled to the limit, for they are afraid that the overlap of rights will affect their lives.
Weak people cannot withstand the slightest disturbance.
Fortunately, when the moon set as usual, the door of the room was closed as usual, and the Wu Hou in black costume came out to guard the royal city again. They climbed up the watchtower and signaled with flags, as if they were going to catch someone.
But this has nothing to do with ordinary people.
The common people used to hate Wu Hou's brutality, but at this moment, they had never felt this way before. It was a frightening thing that the disgust that they were accustomed to every day suddenly disappeared.
It is possible that no one feels happy.
The nights when Wu Hou appears are so reassuring.
At this time, there may be only one person in the city who does not like the restoration of order in the imperial city.
The man was wearing a colored quilted cape, straw sandals, and a large black hat that covered most of his face. However, if Li Xuanji and the others saw him, they would still be able to recognize that this man's face was the young face of Qianlang.
Although this 'hidden man' hated the night and the appearance of the Marquises, at this moment, his face was full of excitement. He stood on the wall of the mansion of a prince who was imprisoned by the previous emperor in Pingkangfang, looking at the bright lights of the Daming Palace, with the corners of his mouth curled up, and his eyes emitting a long-awaited light.
