Chu Guannan briefly explained the whole story to Xie Yuening. Xie Yuening nodded, and the guards behind her immediately stepped forward and surrounded her in a circle with their backs to her.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Xie Yuening withdrew after a while. "This is indeed a barbarian topographic map. Previously, our dynasty only had a rough map. General Shen has filled in all the blanks this time. This is truly a great achievement."
Xie Yuening saluted respectfully towards Shen Lan.
Even those who had never fought in a war knew the importance of maps to marching, but now their attitudes had changed.
"This matter was also ordered by His Majesty..." Xie Yuening said again.
"No, it's impossible!" Zhao Ruyun suddenly collapsed. "It's clearly in there that the prince asked me to..."
Her words stopped abruptly and she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Everyone looked at her.
Zhao Ruyun shook her head in panic.
Xie Yuening raised her hand, "You are slandering an important official of the imperial court. Arrest him!"
"Why don't you bring the prince back to the palace?" Xie Yuening looked coldly at the unconscious person on the ground and at the guards surrounding the prince.
Everyone looked at the unconscious prince with mixed feelings.
"Damn it, damn it!" Suddenly a thin figure pushed away the people who were trying to lift the prince, and the prince fell heavily to the ground.
Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
"It's Su Zhiyao!" Someone recognized the woman who was so thin that she almost lost her human form.
Only Shen Qingwu could see that Su Zhiyao was surrounded by a thick black aura.
It was that ghost baby. He could already control Su Zhiyao's body, and both mother and son were resentful.
"His life belongs to me!" Su Zhiyao turned around and gave Xie Yuening a fierce look.
The ghost baby originally thought that his life was already in his pocket, but he suddenly felt that someone was trying to snatch it from him, so he rushed out quickly.
Xie Yuening was very brave and ambitious, but Su Zhiyao's look made her hair stand on end.
"Brother Prince, how can you be so cruel that you can even kill our child? I love you so much, but you are so heartless." Su Zhiyao cried and laughed, and forcibly held the prince in her arms, letting the black blood slide from the corner of his mouth, but she kept exerting force in her hands.
"Ms. Shen." Su Zeyan looked at the shocking scene and looked at Shen Qingwu for help.
He already had the answers to some things in his heart, but when he heard his sister say it herself, he still felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
"Why don't you pull him away!" Xie Yuening said coldly.
"Get out of here!" A knife suddenly appeared in Su Zhiyao's hand and was pressed against the prince's neck.
Shen Qingwu watched this scene calmly, then looked at Su Zeyan, "Perhaps, he doesn't need my help."
Su Zeyan raised his hands to cover his face and slowly turned his back.
He heard Su Zhiyao's low laugh.
I also heard everyone gasping.
"Su Zhiyao, calm down, he is the prince!" Xie Yuening reminded.
But it was just a reminder, and she and her people did not move.
Su Zhiyao giggled, "He wouldn't marry me while he's alive. He'll only belong to me when he's dead. Then the three of us will be reunited."
Several guards were afraid to step forward rashly.
Then, as soon as she finished speaking, Su Zhiyao exerted force with her hand, and her dagger directly cut the prince's throat, and blood splattered.
The crowd was in chaos again, and finally a guard came forward and pushed Su Zhiyao away.
Su Zhiyao giggled and fell to the ground, looking straight at the prince, and suddenly looked at Su Zeyan who turned slowly, "Second brother, I want to be buried with him, and my child with him."
Su Zeyan saw black blood flowing out of his sister's mouth, and she slowly fell to the side.
"Yaoyao——" Su Zeyan was shocked.
…
"It was such a nice coming-of-age ceremony, but it turned into such a mess." When the excitement was over, it was already 3 p.m., and only the Shen family members were left.
Shen Lan sighed and clumsily inserted the hairpin into Shen Qingwu's head.
Originally, Shen Yan was the one who was scheduled to take charge of this matter, but when the crowd dispersed, Shen Lan came in person.
"No destruction, no construction." Shen Qingwu said with a smile.
All this chaos should end.
She, too, is about to leave.
…
The imperial palace.
Chu Guannan looked down at the emperor who was lying powerlessly on the couch, breathing weakly.
This was his first time to the underground palace, and he finally walked into this place.
This place is simply hell on earth.
Skeletons everywhere.
Even Concubine Liu was not spared.
Concubine Liu fell to the ground with her eyes open. There was a bloody hole in her heart, but the blood had dried up.
The emperor looked at Zheng Hong who was standing next to Chu Guannan with hatred, "You betrayed me!"
Zheng Hong nodded, but did not argue.
Concubine Liu died at the hands of the emperor. Before Chu Guannan came, he and Gu Ying teamed up to eliminate the secret guards around the emperor, and the red fox killed the Taoist priest here.
"Why?" The emperor made a hoarse sound in his throat.
"Your Majesty, you have cut off the only root of the Zheng family." Zheng Hong bent down, still respectful.
The emperor, however, could not remember the reason or when.
Zheng Hong laughed mockingly and didn't remind him again.
"The crown prince and the second son are both dead. Your plan to borrow their lives has been shattered. If you don't want to be infamous for eternity, then make a will and pass the throne to me. In this way, you and I can still remain father and son in name only." Chu Guannan spread out the blank imperial edict in front of the emperor.
The emperor looked at Chu Guannan in horror.
Chu Guannan smiled and nodded, "Aren't you just attracted by the emperor's destiny in my horoscope and want to take away my luck?"
Emperor, "When did you know?"
"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to die miserably, just keep some dignity." Chu Guannan stuffed the brush into the emperor's hand.
"I am inviting a wolf into the house." The emperor laughed out loud and vomited more blood.
"It's fate. You're afraid I'll rebel, but in the end, you still have to hand the world over to me." Chu Guannan said with a smile, "Write it. When you're done, give me the diagram of the imperial mausoleum. That way, I can send you there. You're the last emperor of the Chu family. You don't want to be a wandering ghost after death, do you?"
The emperor kept rolling his eyes and almost fainted.
He knew that Chu Guannan had some ulterior motives, but he didn't know that Chu Guannan had actually planned so many things behind his back, catching him off guard.
"Since you know that your mother's soul is in my hands, how dare you?" the emperor gritted his teeth.
"There's no need to threaten me with a dead person. As long as you die, everything under your control will be free. If you still want to retain your final dignity, just do as I say. If you don't want to keep it..." Chu Guannan raised his hand, and the secret guard handed a blood-stained sword to him.
The yellow charm on the hilt made the emperor's pupils shrink. "Who gave it to you?"
"Shen Qingwu." Chu Guannan slowly tore the talisman off the hilt of the sword and stuck it on the emperor's forehead.
"She is my woman. I have already calculated everything that will happen today. No one who deserves to die will escape, including your soul." Chu Guannan approached the emperor and said with a smile in a low voice.
