Lan family.
Everyone looked at the bright yellow imperial edict placed on the table with solemn expressions.
The high priest was shot in the head by Qu Li, and his body is now hanging at the city gate. Lan Yuqiao has admired the high priest for so many years, and he has been depressed these two days.
When the high priest was alive, the Lan family was the most loyal supporter. Later, because of Qu Li, the relationship became somewhat distant.
Zhuona thought that with the death of the high priest, the Lan family would probably be in even greater precarious situation.
And just at this moment, the little emperor's edict arrived.
Not only was the Lan family not convicted because of the high priest, but the imperial edict even praised the Lan family as loyal and righteous people, almost praising the Lan family to the point of being the best in the world.
Zhuona couldn't figure out what the little emperor's intention was, and she didn't dare to take it lightly.
Lan Yuqiao said in a bad tone: "Mother, what exactly does the emperor mean?"
"Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall!" Zhuona frowned and reminded in a stern voice.
Lan Yuqiao pursed her lips and said nothing.
Because of Lan Yufeng, a rift arose between her and Zhuona, and the relationship between mother and daughter was not as good as before.
Zhuona raised her hand and pressed hard between her eyebrows before picking up the imperial edict again.
Lan Yuqiao said sarcastically, "Mom, no matter how you look at it, there are only a few words on the imperial edict. How can you make out something?"
"What do you know?"
"I know nothing, let alone understand! You figure it out on your own!"
It is obvious that the little emperor is using the Lan family as a pawn.
Those who followed the high priests would hate them for this, feeling that they were inextricably linked to the high priests' death.
Those who hate the high priest to the core will not regard the Lan family as loyal ministers just because of this imperial decree.
It can be said that this imperial edict made the Lan family completely like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, neither being a human being nor a villain!
She asked again and again, not because she really didn't understand, but because she wanted to see what Zhuona thought.
It's a pity that Zhuona has finally broken up with her and doesn't say anything.
She curled her lips in mockery and left the front hall.
It's sunny today, a rare good day in winter.
Just thinking of the high priest's body hanging at the city gate made her heart suffocate with pain.
We must find a way to take the high priest's body away so that he can rest in peace!
The sky gradually darkened, and she quietly left the Lan Mansion under the cover of night.
She found a few people she had known before, and paid them money to create chaos at the city gate. She took the opportunity to take the high priest's body away.
When they saw so much silver, they agreed without thinking.
There was still half an hour left before curfew when a few drunks suddenly staggered in at the city gate, along with a team carrying a coffin out of the city.
When the two groups met, a conflict broke out and chaos broke out at the city gate.
Seeing this, several guards guarding the city gate immediately became alert and stepped forward to stop it.
Lan Yuqiao, wearing a mask, flew over and took the high priest's body away.
After the chaos subsided, the guards discovered that the high priest's body was missing, and their faces changed immediately.
They immediately went to the palace to report. The little emperor was not surprised at all and only asked Zhao Yidao to find Qu Li.
Qu Li asked Goudan to lead the way and found Lan Yuqiao who was preparing to bury the high priest.
When enemies meet, they are always jealous of each other.
Lan Yuqiao gritted his teeth and said, "The high priest is sincere to you, how can you be so vicious?"
Qu Liyun raised his eyebrows calmly, "The High Priest is full of evil. How many things have he done to harm loyal people for his own selfish interests? He deserves this fate now. It's all his own fault!"
"Shut up!" Lan Yuqiao was very emotional, and his facial features became hideous and distorted because of anger.
"Didn't your brother die at the hands of the high priest?"
"Qu Li, shut up! If you hadn't come to Xiling, so many things wouldn't have happened!"
Qu Li sneered: "Don't forget, it was the high priest who brought me to Xiling!"
Lan Yuqiao stared at her, his eyes like sharp swords.
"I don't care who brought you here, he died because of you!"
"First, he didn't die at my hands, but from his own greed! Secondly, those who do evil will eventually perish. He deserved his death!"
"Shut up!"
Lan Yuqiao stepped forward with the sword in hand. The sharp blade reflected the cold moonlight, which was very dazzling.
Zhao Yidao said to Qu Li, "Miss Qu, please step back!"
"good."
Qu Li had indeed consumed too much internal energy in the past two days and was very tired. At this moment, if someone was willing to help her, she would naturally not refuse.
Qu Li stepped back, Zhao Yidao rushed forward with sword in hand, and fought with Lan Yuqiao.
Whether in terms of internal strength or sword-drawing speed, Lan Yuqiao was no match for Zhao Yidao.
Soon, several wounds appeared on his body, and the air was filled with a fishy and sweet smell.
She was panting heavily, and her face was as pale as gold paper due to blood loss.
Qu Li leaned against the tree trunk, watching the scene leisurely.
Such a Qu Li stimulated Lan Yuqiao. She took a breath, made a feint, and stabbed the tip of the sword towards her.
Qu Li looked normal, but Lan Yuqiao felt a great sense of unease in his heart.
But now, the distance between the two is very close, and no matter whether she retracts her attack or continues to attack, she will end up in trouble.
Lan Yuqiao's eyes darkened, and he made up his mind that this time he must send Qu Li to heaven.
She risked almost everything and stabbed at her again with the sword in her hand.
A silver shadow flew towards her and bit her wrist.
"ah!!"
The piercing pain made Lan Yuqiao's facial features look ferocious.
At the same time, Qu Li shot a poisoned silver needle at her.
"Bang--"
Lan Yuqiao fell heavily to the ground.
She could clearly feel her body temperature rapidly draining away. Not caring about her bleeding wrist, she dragged her weak body and struggled to crawl towards the high priest's corpse.
“Tsk—”
Qu Li couldn't help but shake his head and fed Goudan with the jerky.
Lan Yuqiao's love for the high priest is truly deep.
Lan Yuqiao finally crawled to the high priest's body. Her blood-stained hands gently traced the high priest's facial features with a gentle look, as if she was looking at her lover.
When he was alive, she could only watch him from afar.
She didn't even dare to go forward, for fear that he would see through her thoughts and push her away.
Now, he was dead, and she was dying too.
For her, it was a pleasant thing to be able to stay with him like this before she died and die with him.
Qu Li walked slowly to Lan Yuqiao and looked down at her condescendingly.
Lan Yuqiao raised his head and glared at her with hatred in his eyes.
"Miss Lan, it's quite sad that you fell in love with such a heinous person! Do you think you can die together?"
"Qu Li, what do you want to do?"
"It's a bit cruel to say this, but I have to say it." She stared at him with angry eyes without blinking, and curled her lips.
