After saying that, Cang Qiao glanced at the eunuch beside him: "Go and prepare a meal for your majesty. It must be easy to digest. Your majesty has been fasting for three or four days and has not eaten. His stomach cannot handle heavy oil and salt."
Emperor Ming held the box of pills with his hands trembling.
God knows that he was cut off from this special elixir before, and it was so painful that he wanted to die.
Emperor Ming looked at Cang Qiao, with tears and snot falling from his nose: "I know you can't bear to part with me!"
Although he knew that Cang Qiao's behavior was treasonous and unethical, and he should be punished for his crime.
But when she heard that he cared about her, she was instantly touched, and instantly recalled the benefits of Cang Qiao in the past.
"Your Majesty just needs to remember the good things about me. As long as your Majesty only values me in your heart, I will naturally be willing to do anything for you." Cang Qiao's slender phoenix eyes curved into a dark and unpredictable smile.
…
At this time, Shangguan Hongye was being led by his father-in-law to the Qingyun Palace.
"Chitose Master said, you can wait in Qingyun Hall for a while and then you can see His Majesty." He and his father-in-law led him into Qingyun Hall with a smile.
Shangguan Hongye looked at him coldly: "When can Mr. Qiansui see this king?"
He and his father-in-law were obviously Cang Qiao's people and had been completely bribed by Cang Qiao, so he had to guard against it.
He and the father-in-law said with a smile: "Soon, Master Qiantose is preparing to deliver elixirs to His Majesty. You can wait aside and see Master Qiantose and Your Majesty."
After saying that, he withdrew and Shangguan Hongye was the only one left in the room.
When Shangguan Hongye saw that he and his father-in-law had left, leaving only a young eunuch standing outside the room door, he got up and looked around vigilantly.
At this time, I suddenly heard the clear conversation between two people coming from next door.
One person is Cang Qiao's cold and unpredictable voice, and the other person is his father!
He paused for a moment, holding his breath and listening carefully.
Cang Qiao could only be heard saying lazily: "Your Majesty is living a comfortable and relaxed life here, but His Highness the King of Qin is already thinking about killing me!"
Then, the father's voice was filled with guilt and anger: "Then...how dare that traitor!"
Cang Qiao seemed to be silent for a while and sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has always disliked me, doesn't His Majesty know best?"
Emperor Ming laughed dryly: "Ah...really?"
Cang Qiao said calmly: "I see that your Majesty now distrusts me more and more, and only trusts the Zhou family. If one day your Majesty is absent and King Qin ascends the throne, I will surely die."
Emperor Ming suddenly felt as if he had been stabbed in the foot: "Bah, he is worthy of being on the throne!"
Cang Qiao seemed a little strange: "Your Majesty has already appointed King Qin as the crown prince. If you are gone, of course King Qin will be the lord of the world!"
"No, absolutely, I am the lord of the world. How can I be worthy of a traitor like him who colludes with the Forbidden Army and the Beida Camp and hides his rebellious intentions!" Emperor Ming said angrily with a ferocious face.
Shangguan Hongye was separated by a wall, and his heart felt like it was pinched in an instant.
Father actually knows!
Cang Qiao said with a smile: "Well, since Your Majesty wants to depose the King of Qin, it is better to appoint the young princes in the palace as princes, so that I can rest assured."
Emperor Ming suddenly stared at him: "You have imprisoned me again and again, probably for this reason. You want me to abolish Hongye and establish a little prince instead, so that you can continue to be your nine thousand years old and control the government."
!”
Cang Qiao did not deny it, just rubbed the beads in his hand and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I just want to live, not to let you use it to sacrifice to King Qin."
Emperor Ming's expression suddenly changed, and Shangguan Hongye's expression also changed unpredictably across the wall.
It turns out that Cang Qiao already knew!
Emperor Ming reluctantly said: "I just said it casually. How can I be willing to love you?"
It turns out that this is the reason why Cang Qiao suddenly changed his attitude towards him, so as long as he convinces Cang Qiao, he will naturally not have to suffer!
"Your Majesty, how can I trust you?" Cang Qiao suddenly sighed and shook his head.
Emperor Ming hesitated for a moment and then said immediately: "I immediately wrote a handwritten edict, stamped it with a jade seal and gave it to Aiqing. Taking this handwritten edict, Aiqing led his troops to surround the palace of the King of Qin and put the King of Qin under house arrest!"
Cang Qiao glanced at the wall behind Emperor Ming slowly and smiled: "Does your Majesty really mean what he said?"
Emperor Ming's thin body stood straight, as if he had become the strategizing emperor again: "Of course, how could I give up the country to that traitor!"
Hearing this, Cang Qiao suddenly couldn't help but laugh lowly: "Hahahahaha... Your Majesty, it is indeed something you can do. As long as it is beneficial to you, no matter who it is, you will give it up without hesitation!
"
Emperor Ming looked at him and smiled strangely. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
At this time, Cang Qiao suddenly clapped his hands: "Come here, please bring His Highness King Qin in."
Shangguan Hongye suddenly turned his head, only to see that at some point, he and his father-in-law were standing quietly behind him!
Shangguan Hongye's muscles were tense all over, but he saw Eunuch He showing him a cold and strange smile: "Your Highness, please?"
While talking, the wall that originally separated the two rooms suddenly had a door.
Looking at Emperor Ming's shocked and confused eyes, Shangguan Hongye's gloomy handsome face twitched, and then he walked through the door.
"Hong...ye...you...why are you here!?" Emperor Ming looked at the tall son in front of him in disbelief.
Shangguan Hongye closed his eyes and said expressionlessly: "My son, I will see my father."
Cang Qiao rubbed the bead string in her hand and said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, of course His Highness King Qin is here to rescue you. He is really a kind father and a filial son."
Emperor Ming looked at his son's face and suddenly felt guilty: "Ye'er... you... you... I... I... just now..."
Cang Qiao nodded: "Since His Highness and His Majesty are here, it is not convenient for me, an outsider, to be here."
With that said, he walked out.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head towards Shangguan Hongye and said slowly -
"Your Highness, you have a choice now. If you want to save His Majesty, take Him out of this Qingyun Palace."
He paused and then said with a smile: "Of course, if you don't want to be rescued, just come out alone, and I will naturally let you go, but Your Majesty will practice fasting in the Qingyun Palace until the corpse is dissolved!"
At this moment, Emperor Ming and Shangguan Hongye suddenly understood what Cang Qiao was going to do!
He made a cruel killing plan, leaving the father and son in the most sober and desperate situation - father and son killed each other!
The first ending of this killing situation: Emperor Ming is taken away by Shangguan Hongye, then sooner or later he will want Shangguan Hongye to die!
The second ending: Shangguan Hongye chooses to let Emperor Ming die or be slowly tortured to death. From then on, he will bear the pain and crime of patricide in his heart.
Shangguan Hongye stared at Cang Qiao with scarlet eyes: "Cang Qiao, aren't you afraid that if you let me leave this palace, I will turn around and bring people back to Qingjun's side to save my father and kill you, a treacherous minister!"
He knew that he shouldn't say this at this time, but his heart was about to explode with pain at this moment, and he wished he could tear the person in front of him into pieces!
Cang Qiao smiled, her features were picturesque, but she was very cruel: "Your Highness, didn't you realize that your choice has returned to the first ending? Then why don't you just take His Majesty and leave?"
Shangguan Hongye was stunned, and suddenly his tall body began to tremble.
Yes, there is no third option!
Cang Qiao, this cruel lunatic, did not give the father and son a third choice at all!
Either the father kills the son, or the son kills the father!
