Chapter 619 Chapter 619(1/2)
"The jade seal is indeed not on the empress dowager.?? "
When I heard this cold and familiar voice, it seemed like a chilling wind blew across the grassland that was scorching hot by the sun, and also blew through everyone's heart. Everyone couldn't help but shudder.
The place where the sound came was the king's tent. The bright yellow tent that was almost dazzling in the sun was gently lifted by one hand, and a tall and sturdy figure appeared in front of everyone.
He was also wearing the white underwear he wore when he was recuperating. His slightly dispersed collar revealed his firm chest. His honey-colored skin looked like a rock in the sun. He could still vaguely see the wound extending from his shoulders, which had a ferocious meaning. And his eyes, in the dark and deep, seemed to be a bottomless cold pool, flashed a trace of light when he walked into the sun.
Pei Yuanhao!
My heart pounded suddenly - he, he woke up?!
When did he wake up?
Before I could react, he had already lifted the tent and walked out. When he appeared, everyone around him held their breath, as if they couldn't believe their eyes widened. Several of them looked foolishly, and knelt down with a thud, saying, "Master!"
Shin Gongyi was also shocked for a moment, as if he had never expected him to appear at this time. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the incredible scene. The generals and officials who followed him changed their faces and seemed very frightened and at a loss.
At this time, the familiar figure had slowly walked out of the tent and walked step by step to the center of everyone.
I also completely lost my reaction and only looked at the man in front of me.
He woke up?
When did he wake up?
How much did he know about what he had just had, and how much could he control?
How will this situation change?
Countless questions and doubts were surging in my mind, but there was no answer. I could only watch him slowly walk over. The deep eyes seemed to look at this side. My heart trembled when he saw it, and then I saw Nangong Lizhu turning her face to the side, with a somewhat dull face.
Pei Yuanhao seemed to want to say something, but he still didn't come. It was not at this moment that he would droop his eyelids, then turned his head and faced Shen Gongyi.
At this time, Shin Gongyi seemed to suddenly come back to his senses: "You—you—"
Pei Yuanhao sneered, with a bit of sinisterness: "Why, Master Shen doesn't want to see me awake? Or did he not expect that I would wake up?"
“…”
"But..." He glanced at Shin Gongyi coldly and said, "Fortunately, I didn't wake up so quickly."
“…”
"If I had woken up a few days earlier, I wouldn't have seen this good show."
Shin Gongyi's face suddenly changed: "You--"
Looking at Pei Yuanhao's cold smile, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and his face turned pale: "You, you have been--"
“…”
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. Shin Gongyi lowered his head. After a long time of silence, he slowly raised his head, and a hint of relief appeared on his face: "It's me, I miscalculated."
I looked at Pei Yuanhao in shock. What did he mean just now? Could it be that he had woken up long ago and was just waiting. Until now, Shin Gongyi completely revealed his true face?
At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in front of me, and I suddenly understood.
No wonder I have been wondering. This time the protection of spring hunting is so tight, how could a tiger suddenly emerge from the woods? And so many people appear in the forest, the tiger did not hurt it, but was going to attack Pei Yuanhao by the river.
Because, the tiger was arranged in advance!
At that time, I saw that there was flesh and blood in the tiger's mouth. Someone must have been fed it long ago, so that the tiger would not hurt people wildly; and when Pei Yuanhao saw the tiger, he immediately asked Nangong Lizhu to jump into the water. I guess the tiger had undergone some training and was afraid of water, so at that time the tiger jumped to the river. It was obviously so close to Nangong Lizhu, but it did not hurt her, but instead rushed towards Pei Yuanhao.
If I guess correctly, he should have even made arrangements for fighting the tiger. As long as he makes a gimmick and gets hurt, he can just lie down and pretend to be sick, luring Shin Gongyi into his trap. However, the accident that day was me!
I appeared there and fought with him, which probably disrupted his arrangements, so his injury should be heavier than expected. But that's true, he could just pretend to be unconscious for the past few days, making Shin Gongyi think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it and reveal his fangs!
Originally, it was extremely difficult to deal with such old ministers of the three dynasties, especially his forces in the court were mixed and he could move his whole body. But now, the rebellion that Shin Gongyi had already understood gave Pei Yuanhao a chance to kill him!
Thinking of this, I somehow thought about it, when I thought back to that day, I was biting the tiger's flesh in my mouth, and the bloody and trembling feeling couldn't help but shudder.
However, now the situation-
I raised my head with some difficulty and looked in front of me.
Although he woke up, Shen Gongyi had made sufficient preparations for this day. All the soldiers of the Imperial Camp had been bribed by him. Now the entire Juma Valley is under his control. Even if Pei Yuanhao wakes up, will he have any help?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at him nervously, and saw Pei Yuanhao walking over step by step. Although the soldiers in front of him were holding swords, they were still facing the emperor after all. They all seemed a little hesitant and retreated one after another.
At this time, Shin Gongyi said in a deep voice: "What are you afraid of?!"
The generals and soldiers looked at him in horror.
Shin Gongyi said coldly: "Now, the Juma Valley is under my control. Do you think I am really afraid of you?" As he said that, he said to the soldiers behind him: "At this time, no one can retreat. Do you think he will spare you?"
When the soldiers heard this, their faces immediately became even more frightened.
Pei Yuanhao's methods are so cruel that it is well known that only from the battle to fight for the throne, the imperial city was killed in a corpse everywhere. The battle they followed Shen Gongyi was a rebellion and a serious crime to kill the nine clans. Everyone knew very well that if they failed, none of them could survive in Pei Yuanhao's hands.
When they thought of this, the people simply took the initiative and took the sword in their hands and pointed it at Pei Yuanhao.
Shen Gongyi sneered, turned his head and said loudly: "Please hand over the jade seal!"
Pei Yuanhao's face turned cold and saw that the empress dowager had been caught by those people and was taken to Shen Gongyi. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shen---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Empress Dowager was still cold and calm, as if the sword was put on her, and she looked at Shen Gongyi indifferently: "Didn't you hear the emperor's words just now?"
Pei Yuanhao immediately said: "Shen Gongyi, I have just said that the jade seal is not on the Empress Dowager."
Shen Gongyi sneered, "You still want to lie to me? The entire Juma Valley has been turned over. The Empress Du has no jade seal around him. It is not on the Empress Dowager, where is it? If you don't say it again - Empress Dowager, don't blame me for not remembering the grace of the Emperor of the past."
He said, turning a wink, and someone next to him immediately put a knife on the empress dowager's neck.
When I saw this scene, I was so scared that I couldn't help but want to rush over. Chang Qing hurriedly pulled me hard, lowered her voice and said, "Don't move!"
"But--"
I turned around in panic, and saw that her eyes were red, and she stared at the Empress Dowager: "I think the Empress Dowager has made a decision."
"……What?"
I was stunned and turned my head and was placed on my neck with a sharp blade. It seemed that with a gentle movement, her head would be cut off. But the Queen Mother was still safe and even calmer than usual, kneeling in front of the cushion and chanting the Buddha's name. However, Pei Yuanhao grinded his teeth and sneered: "Shen Gongyi, don't forget, I'm awake now. What's the use of your abdication edict?"
When Shin Gongyi heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh... That's right."
“…”
"Since you are awake, that edict of abdication is of course useless."
“…”
"However, when the Supreme Emperor wakes up, you will be useless."
Pei Yuanhao's face darkened: "What did you say?!"
Shin Gongyi sneered, looked at the panicked court officials around him, and suddenly shouted: "I did this today, not to commit the superiors, nor to bully the monarch, but to not allow the country of the Celestial Empire to fall into the hands of a person of unknown origin and not of the royal bloodline!"
"What?!"
"What did you say?!"
When the people around him heard this, they were all shocked. Some of them had already said in a lost voice: "Not the royal bloodline?"
At this moment, everyone turned to look at Pei Yuanhao.
At this time, his face turned pale.
My heart suddenly sank, and I felt that all the anxiety and fear before were confirmed at this moment. Everyone around me had a blank expression on their faces. Even Chang Qing, who had been holding my hand, unconsciously let go of it at this moment. She opened her eyes in surprise and murmured: "What... is not the royal bloodline? What does he mean?"
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Shin Gongyi's mouth. He slowly walked to the empress dowager and said leisurely: "Empress dowager, I'm not wrong with this?"
“…”
"Or, do you want me to make it clearer?"
“…!”
The Empress Dowager had originally lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, like a silent Bodhisattva. At this time, she opened her eyes suddenly. A ray of light suddenly burst out from her blue-gray pupils, looking at Shen Gongyi. He seemed to be frightened for a moment and took two steps back.
After pausing for a moment, Shin Gongyi laughed again, but the smile seemed a little uncertain, and said, "Empress Dowager, why bother to be so stubborn?"
“…”
"Where is no parent who doesn't care about his children?"
“…”
"If you help him like this, do you know how your child is-"
Before he finished speaking, the queen mother suddenly said, "Enough!"
Shin Gongyi was stunned and stopped talking in a daze.
For a moment, the entire Juma River Valley seemed to be shocked by these two words. The originally chaotic situation suddenly became quiet at this time. No one dared to speak again. Everyone held their breath and opened their eyes wide to look at the old lady who had always been isolated from the world, as if she was outside the threshold.
She had a gloomy face and stretched out her hand. The knife that was originally placed on her neck was swung away. The soldiers were also startled and hurriedly wanted to come up and take action, but Shin Gongyi winked and blocked it.
The Empress Dowager stood there, slowly raised her head and looked at Pei Yuanhao.
Pei Yuanhao seemed a little uncertain at this time. His deep and dark eyes kept flashing, and he was still standing there motionless, but the empress dowager walked towards him step by step.
This time, even Shen Gongyi did not stop him anymore. Everyone watched her slowly and slowly walked over and walked to Pei Yuanhao.
The surroundings are so quiet that it makes people feel anxious.
