The guards really have a headache, they are in such a dangerous situation.
Your Highness, why are you doing this? Everyone in the East Palace knows that the Crown Princess is humble. All the maids around her have run away and died. The Crown Princess will not accept the money you burned even in the underground!
But there was really no other way, so I had to send someone to temporarily turn back and buy some paper money for incense candles.
After the people from the Ming Dynasty finished burying the coffin, turned around and walked away for half a quarter of an hour, a carriage rumbled over.
Shangguan Zhou got off the carriage and looked at the new soil on the tomb. The tombstone was just a simple stone. It only said the tomb of Mingshi Yueying, and there was nothing else.
His expression couldn't help but be a little sad, and he couldn't help but sneer——
"What will happen to you if you betray Gu? If you had obediently given birth to Gu's legitimate son, he would have taken you with him when he left. How could you end up with such a disastrous end, being buried in the wilderness, even in ancestral graves?
Enter?"
But there was a solitary grave under the barren mountain, and no one answered.
Shangguan Zhou signaled the guards to prepare to burn incense. Several guards looked around worriedly, always thinking of leaving the wilderness as soon as possible, which completely deviated from the escape route.
The situation of His Highness is not so much that he has been late and affectionate, but that he is saddened by the sad funeral of the Crown Princess, and remembers that his own situation is equally miserable.
But they could only follow Shangguan Zhou's instructions and light the incense candles.
Among the curls of green smoke, Shangguan Zhou seemed to still see Ming Yueying sitting on the wedding bed in a gorgeous phoenix red dress, putting down her fan and looking at him, looking uneasy and shy.
The other person they originally wanted was not the other person. He married Ming Lanruo for power. She left Mu Qingyu and entered the palace in order to support the Ming family and her mother.
She still became his wife and his crown princess.
"I have my mission, and you have your life. If I have ever wronged you, I will pay you back in the next life." He sighed softly and threw a bunch of paper money into the fire.
"Your Highness is really affectionate." A joking and smiling voice suddenly sounded.
The guards immediately drew their swords and pointed them in the direction of the sound.
But I saw an indigo figure slowly walking out of the woods on one side, waving a cattail leaf fan.
The young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a handsome face, and a silver crescent moon ornament hanging between his eyebrows. His long hair was braided at the temples and hung with silver ornaments. He did not appear to be girly, but rather showed an unruly youthful spirit.
If not Xiao Jingnan Wang Chu Yuanbai, who is it?
"Why are you here? Aren't you at the foot of Qingyun Mountain?" Shangguan Zhou frowned, looked at Chu Yuanbai coldly, and waved to signal the people around him to put down their weapons.
Chu Yuanbai smiled and swung over with a cattail leaf fan, but he complained rudely: "Your Highness, you came here to visit a dead man's grave. It took you most of the day. My people couldn't see anyone. Come and inform me quickly."
I know you came here!"
Shangguan Zhou paused and looked a little unhappy. Knowing that it was someone from the team, he went to notify Chu Yuanbai.
In fact, he was somewhat deliberately keeping Chu Yuanbai in the dark, but he didn't expect this kid to come running over.
Shangguan Zhou said calmly: "After all, we are a husband and wife. I don't know when I will come back when I am alone. I just give her a ride."
"Tsk, Your Highness, why is this necessary? Since you miss the Crown Princess so much, why not treat her better before?" Chu Yuanbai said with emotion on his face.
Shangguan Zhou's face turned gloomy. Which of the guards around him would dare to say this to him and poke his sore spot?
But now that he is the deposed prince, he still has to rely on Chu Yuanbai to make a comeback.
He said with a cold face: "What on earth does King Xiao Jingnan want to say? Gu Ai will visit the grave of whomever he wants to visit."
Chu Yuanbai smiled: "I want to say that since His Highness cares about the Crown Princess so much, why don't you go to hell to find her and keep her company?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present instantly changed. They all drew their swords and pointed them at Chu Yuanbai.
Shangguan Zhou felt a chill in his heart and looked at him coldly: "Chu Yuanbai, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense!"
"I'm right, Xiao Wang. Didn't I just see that Your Highness misses the Crown Princess, so I came here to give you a ride?" Chu Yuanbai said lazily.
He shook his cattail leaf fan, and in an instant, many archers appeared in the wild woods around him, aiming their long arrows at Shangguan Zhou and his party!
"Chu Yuanbai, are you crazy? You just rescued Gu from the palace!" Shangguan Zhou tensed up and looked at Chu Yuanbai in disbelief and anger.
The young man's handsome little face looked innocent: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I rescued you just because it was convenient to kill you in the wilderness, I'm sorry!"
Shangguan Zhou's face changed drastically: "You...why, didn't you read the letter your grandpa gave you? We are obviously the best allies!"
"Oh, you are very annoying. My grandpa is old and he is deceived by you, but I will not do it!"
"Just because I took the letter from my grandfather to you and said that I colluded with you and controlled the Central Plains together to help you get the throne, and used it as a bargaining chip to threaten me to rescue you from the palace, I knew you had to die!"
Chu Yuanbai lazily leaned against the tree, shaking the fan in his hand.
Shangguan Zhou heard this and said calmly: "Why, are you not afraid of Gu handing your grandfather's letter to your father now? Gu is not a prince but also a prince. Father can understand my desire to get the throne, otherwise Gu's original
Even if he kills the queen, he won’t want to protect me anymore!”
He paused and sneered: "But you, a king with a different surname from the three southwestern provinces, dare to covet the Central Plains, you will never be able to leave the capital alive!"
"The people in Dongchang who are lurking in Miao territory will also take your father's head."
Chu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Really?"
Shangguan Zhou said contemptuously: "You Miaojiang barbarian, do you think that Gu can't rule you? Those letters are not on Gu's body, but are carried by Gu's close followers. Once you kill Gu, the letters will be placed on your father's behalf."
On the emperor’s desk!”
This idiot doesn't think he never guards against him, does he?
If I were such a careless person, I don't know how many times I would have died at the hands of Shangguan Hongye and the Zhou family!
Chu Yuanbai's smiling eyes were as crescent as the moon——
The sickle moon is murderous.
"Really? But what if the people in Dongchang ask me to kill you? Do you think there is still a chance that your letter will be placed on His Majesty's desk?"
Shangguan Zhou's face changed drastically and he looked at him in disbelief: "You betrayed the orphan and colluded with those dog eunuchs in Dongchang!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, don't say it so harshly. Xiao Wang is just very aware of current affairs. Instead of working for a narrow-minded guy like you, why don't I change my partner?"
Chu Yuanbai shook his fan.
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Oh, it's getting late, let's send His Royal Highness on his way!"
Then, he threw the cattail leaf fan in his hand towards the ground casually, and heard a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Countless long arrows quenched with poison were shot directly towards Shangguan Zhou, making it clear that they would never leave him a chance to survive!
"Protect His Highness!" The dead guards around him tried their best to protect Shangguan Zhou, using their swords to chop down arrowheads!
Shangguan Zhou climbed into the car and tried to escape, but the horse was also hit by the poisonous arrow. After neighing crazily, it ran around and threw Shangguan Zhou violently out.
Shangguan Zhou directly hit Ming Yueying's stone tablet, breaking the stone tablet into two pieces, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood in pain: "Ugh!"
At this time, the guards around Shangguan Zhou were also hit by arrows and fell to the ground!
"Your Highness!" No one can come to save him.
"Boo-boo-boo!!!"
Shangguan Zhou fell on the tomb and watched countless sharp arrows not far away shooting towards him with strong murderous intent.
He clutched his chest and opened his eyes in despair. For some reason, it seemed as if he had seen... such a scene a long time ago.
Who came to the city with troops, firing thousands of arrows, but the person who was pierced by the arrows was not him, but Ming Lanruo who was hung by him in front of the city gate.
"Chi! Chi! Chi!"
Blood splattered everywhere, and Shangguan Zhou screamed. His chest was pierced by many sharp arrows, and his thighs were nailed to the grave.
