Chapter 53 Emperor's Funeral

"Lord, this is the tribute of the Southern Kingdom. How can it be with you?" Yueye looked at the white jade in Qin Si's hand and asked.

Qin Si smiled dumbly. Maybe it's really God's will.

"This is given by the emperor. If you take this to see him, he will definitely listen to you. Qin Si doesn't want to mix too much in it. Just remind him to express his feelings.

The moon night answered, looked at the guards patrolling around, and inadvertently said, "The guard of the emperor's bedroom does not seem to be strict."

With that, the moon night looked up at the moon. When the moonlight was in the sky, she took the opportunity of the rotation of the guards and jumped into the Zhaoming Palace several times.

......

The mottled tree shadow described Qin Si's body. She breathed and waited, looking in the direction of the moonlit night from time to time.

It's just a word, but after half a cup of tea, the moonlight still hasn't come back, which makes her a little uneasy. When I was anxious, all the lights around Zhaoming Palace suddenly lit up.

The rapid shouts are particularly amazing at night.

"Come on, there is an assassin. The emperor has been assassinated." The sharp voice shattered the last trace of clarity in Qin Si's mind, and she subconsciously stood up.

No, moon night...

As soon as he stood up straight, his shoulder was heavily pressed, and Qin Si squatted down again.

"Ali."

Qin Si's struggling shoulder paused, and when she heard the sound, she looked back. Looking at the person coming, her body softened a little.

"Why are you here..." There was some uneasiness in her words.

"The prince issued an edict to let my father go to Beijing. When I learned the news, I went out of the mountain to accompany my father."

Ye Yun smiled, but his eyes were looking around. He saw the guards of Zhaoming Palace go to the palace one after another, shouting "catch assassins" in his mouth. Listening attentively, the sound of sword collision soon sounded in the palace.

"On the moon night..."

Ye Yun patted Qin Si's back with comfort: "These people can't hurt her. If you go out, she will be distracted."

"Come on, the emperor passed away. Catch this assassin..."

Ye Yun's gentle words had not yet fallen, and came with a panicked sentence "the death of the emperor".

deed???

This word made Qin Si frown, his pupils contracted violently, and Qin Si's thoughts turned faster and faster.

Something was wrong. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Everything was too coincidental. Why didn't Qi Zhongjing and Wan Ming go somewhere else to negotiate, but they came to the cold palace. And the news that Qi Zhongjing was going to kill the emperor happened to be heard by them. Zhaoming Palace is the emperor's bedroom. It is said that the guard is strict, but how can it suddenly become loose...

One circle goes around one circle, and one puzzle is sandwiched with one riddle. Such a fog made Qin Si's uneasiness spread to the extreme, as if every step she is doing now is under someone's control.

Hearing the emperor's death, Ye Yunyi's heart inexplicably tightened, and an indescribable sense of blockage rushed away.

The two have their own thoughts, but their eyes are inseparable from the firelight on the Zhaoming Palace.

......

Suddenly, the moon night in black came out of the Zhaoming Palace and landed on the platform in front of the palace gate. The guards around gathered up, and the close body was like an iron barrel, forcing the moon night to death.

The imperial army used killing moves one after another, and Yueye didn't even have a space to escape with light kung fu.

"Moon night..." Qin Si muttered and was about to struggle to get up.

This time, Ye Yun didn't stop her. It's just a death. There is no regret to have her on her side.

Qin Si's skirt moved, but a figure penetrated into the afterglow of the corners of his eyes and stared at it. The man's movements were flustered and his appearance always felt a little familiar.

The moonlight came down from the side of the carved railing and cast a bright shadow on the wall.

That jaw...

By the way, Wan Ming, this is Wan Ming, the eunuch who talked to Qi Zhongjing in the cold palace.

With his finger and the figure sneaking out of Zhaoming Palace, Qin Si hurriedly said, "Yiyi, stop him quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Yun raised her breath and rushed over. The two bodyguards came out of nowhere and were dragging Wan Ming, as if to feed him something.

"Stay alive."

Hearing Qin Si's words, Ye Yun casually took out something from his arms and hit him out. A bodyguard was in pain, his wrist loosened, and Wan Ming fell to the ground.

Ye Yun slapped in the air again, and another bodyguard was also beaten out.

Wan Ming saw that someone saved him and didn't care about anything else, so he tried his best to run to Ye Yun. Ye Yun looked at it coldly and threw it at Qin Si with his clothes.

Looking at Wan Ming's trembling appearance, Qin Si's eyes were full of resentment. Sure enough, the emperor's death was their hand, and Yueye's entry happened to fall into their trap.

There is hatred in my heart, and the strength to restrain Wan Ming in my hand becomes stronger and stronger.

......

A noise was heard here, and the imperial army immediately separated a line of people around them.

Ye Yun snorted coldly at first sight, and his fierce murderous spirit flew between his wrists.

Yueye, who was back to deal with the imperial army, saw that Qin Si was in trouble. He was distracted and was hit with a knife on his back, and the bright red blood was sucked clean by the black clothes. This knife broke the stalemate just now, and the injured moonlight was outnumbered, and the black clothes were covered with knife marks.

After a round of hard fighting, Yueye knelt down on one knee, and his shoulders, back and chest were constantly bleeding. There is a cold blade between his neck, which is very cold.

"Moon night."

Qin Si shouted and wanted to save people. Ye Yun also protected her step by step and calmly dealt with the royal forest army that had caught up with her.

"Let's all stop."

A sound came around a corner, weak with irrespeakable prestige. Hearing the sound, the imperial army stopped the offensive, but did not retreat. Qin Si walked to the steps in front of Zhaoming Palace and coughed softly. She clearly looked at a blood stain on Yueye's neck.

"What, do you still have to move forward?"

Qi Zhongjing spoke softly and forced Qin Si's footsteps back. Qin Si followed the voice, and it was Qi Zhongjing who came not far away with the Wenwu of the Man Dynasty.

Qin Si had a sneer on his lips, and you came just in time.

Qi Zhongjing was dressed in an apricot yellow three-clawed golden dragon robe and a white jade crown, walking first. The courtiers behind him were mostly inexplicable or panicked. It must have been summoned in a hurry. Oh, is he so anxious?

Ye Yun's first-hand * Qin Si pulled back and looked directly at Qi Zhongjing without any dodge.

"Miss Qin, this is a murderous assassin. It's better to stay away."

This claim made Qin think. The charge of the Qin Dynasty has been cleared, and now she is still in the name of the daughter of the general.

But Qin Si was puzzled by Qi Zhongjing's second sentence. Isn't he going to dispose of her? He clearly knows his relationship with the moon night, and why does he play this now?

"Oh, Your Highness, who is the real assassin still needs to be verified. It's about my heavenly prestige, so it's better not to jump to conclusions..."

Qin Si suppressed his doubts and said with a smile. The coldness in his eyes was like substance, and his skirt flew under his feet and slowly went down the jade steps.

"This is natural."

"The real murderer of the emperor may be someone else..." Qin Si with an imperceptible smile and a soft voice started a burst of discussion.

Qi Zhongjing looked behind Qin Si without a trace and casually said, "Then Miss Qin said, who will it be?"

Qin Si turned his head with a smile, and Wan Ming was the best witness. But at the moment when Qin Si turned around, Wan Ming's pupils burst out, and blood gushed out from the corners of his lips. Ye Yun, who was beside him, hurried forward, put his fingers between Wan Ming's neck and slowly shook his head.

"You..." Qin Si staggered under his feet, his red lips trembled, and the gauze sleeves in his hand were pinched and could not say a word.

Wan Ming died, who will wash away the charges of that moon night?

The tight silence was broken by one person, and the official in a purple court uniform stepped out of the queue and cried, "Your Highness, the assassination of the emperor naturally needs to be strictly investigated, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. As the crown prince, His Highness should shoulder the heavy burden of the heavenly dynasty and ascend the throne to sacrifice to the sky to ensure the prosperity of our heavenly dynasty."

"Yes, I beg Your Highness to ascend the throne."

"Your Highness, please ascend the throne."

With one word, the harmony should be endless.

The person who said this was Dong Caiwei's father, Dong Da, the secretary of the Ministry of Household.

When Qi Zhongjing heard the words, he squeezed his lips, as if he was hesitating and hesitant.

"Your Highness..."

Dong Da called again, and Qi Zhongjing nodded slightly and agreed. His thin cheeks are faintly **. This throne is what he dreamed of, but now it is close at hand. How can he not like it?

"Weichen has a play."

Just as everyone was about to kneel down and shout ten thousand years old, another voice came. Yu Shaocheng quickly walked to Qi Zhongjing and worshipped him: "Your Highness, I think that filial piety is the first, and the emperor was assassinated and died. If it can't be found out, there will be an insult to the national prestige of my dynasty. Please investigate it thoroughly."

With that, Yu Shaocheng raised his front swing and knelt down.

Many ministers belonging to Qi Zhongtian behind him also knelt down one after another: "Your Highness, please investigate thoroughly."

There is no smoke in the battle between the two factions at this moment, but it is full of fire.

One side supported Qi Zhongjing's accession to the throne, and the other side delayed the time, one by one, which made Qi Zhongjing's eyes a little murderous.

"My father was stabbed, and I naturally investigated it thoroughly. Let's all love you." Qi Zhongjing's words were heavy, coughing and frowned from time to time.

Yu Shaocheng was more anxious than anyone else. The emperor suddenly died, and the prince's succession to the throne was inevitable. Qi Zhongtian was still at Yanmen. In this way, he lost all the opportunity.

Now the only way to delay time is to take advantage of the emperor's death.

"Your Highness, the guard of Zhaoming Palace is strict. Why are Miss Qin and the prince here? Why did the internal prisoner sacrifice himself for no reason? If you can't find the assassin, how can the emperor close his eyes..."

"The son and Miss Qin were invited to the palace alone. As for the internal prisoner's suicide, I thought there was indeed some doubt. Come on, keep his body for the time being and find out his identity.

"As for this assassin, he was pressed into the prison for strict care, reviewed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then convicted and executed. As for the accession to the throne, the Ministry of Ceremonies arranged to sacrifice to heaven three days later." Qi Zhongjing said word by word, and his eyes were inseparable from Qin Si.
