It is said that when Xue Huaiyi came down from Wufeng Tower in disgrace after being kicked by Wu Zetian, several flower monks were already waiting there.
"Master, what did the old woman say?"
"Straight bitch, the Sa family has never suffered from this kind of arrogance."
Xue Huaiyi was no longer as flattering as he was upstairs before, and was gnashing his teeth in a very ferocious manner. "The old monk who hid in Jiangnan was the one who revealed the secrets of the Sa family to that slut Taiping. No wonder the lady named Shen Qiang has been extremely arrogant these days."
The angry Xue Huaiyi no longer looked like his usual eminent monk, and his words were extremely vulgar.
"Hey, monk, His Majesty asked you to wait in Yaoguang Hall after the ceremony is over."
A palace maid hurriedly ran down the stairs. When she saw Xue Huaiyi, she was not as polite as usual. She put one hand on her slender waist, pointed at him with a green-white finger in the distance, and announced quickly After obeying His Majesty's will, regardless of whether he heard it clearly or not, he just returned upstairs.
"Then what did the old woman say?"
Xue Huaiyi didn't hear clearly what the palace maid said. While he was whispering to several flower monks around him, a palace man who seemed to have difficulty with his left hand walked out from the side.
"Mr. E Guo, Your Majesty has decreed that you should wait in the Mingtang Hall. Your Majesty will arrive after the ceremony."
Although what I heard just now did not seem to be such words, the palace servant Xue Huaiyi, who was wearing a moon palace robe, felt a little familiar, and he should be someone close to His Majesty.
Xue Huaiyi relaxed a little, thinking that His Majesty still took care of the old relationship, and for a while he still couldn't let go of his old lover, and his expression started to become presumptuous again.
"Young boys, let's walk in the open air!"
"Here!"
The group of people followed the man in the White House noisily and headed towards the bright hall in front and behind which was still brightly lit.
However, when we arrived at the entrance of the Mingtang Hall, although the lights were still bright inside, there was no sound at all from the sound-playing group and the Buddhist monks singing. Compared with the noise behind us, it was unusually deserted.
"Your Majesty has a decree. Abbot Xue, please go in and wait for your arrival. Don't disturb others."
The palace man turned around and said coldly, and glanced at the flower monks following Xue Huaiyi, with a domineering look in his eyes that could not be refused.
This was not the first time for Xue Huaiyi to serve His Majesty. He relied on his extraordinary talent and had enjoyed a good few years. He was naturally familiar with this road, so he had no doubts. He winked and muttered dirty words to the flower monks, then waved his hand. Went in.
The golden pagoda in the hexagonal main hall of the Mingtang still stands there, standing against the blazing torches around it.
A large carved bed was placed in front of the phoenix chair facing south in the Ming Hall. There were several large boxes under the bed, and the mattress was slightly higher than usual.
"Since the Mingtang was built, His Majesty has never summoned the Sa family alone here."
Xue Huaiyi was very proud of this landmark building that he had contributed to. He gave the palace man a flirtatious look, but was ignored by the palace man.
"Please wait here, Duke E. His Majesty will arrive after the ceremony."
The palace man repeated His Majesty's decree without changing his expression, turned around and went out.
As the creaking sound of the door hinge stopped, Xue Huaiyi was the only one left in the huge hall.
He took an elixir from the sleeve of his robe and stuffed it into his mouth. Xue Huaiyi's originally fair cheeks were quickly dyed pink with a touch of blood.
While waiting for the medicine to take effect, Xue Huaiyi wandered around the empty hall for a while.
Several hollow copper pillars like golden dragon coiled pillars beside the south gate attracted his attention.
Several copper pillars are not placed symmetrically, but are uniformly facing the direction of heaven.
Xue Huaiyi moved it a little curiously. With his talent of being as strong as an ox and the stimulation of Dali Pill, he could only move it a little bit. It must have weighed a thousand catties.
"I still want to be the emperor, but these thousands of dollars are just displayed here as a decoration."
Because of the stimulating effect of the medicine, Xue Huaiyi was a little excited. While he was thinking endlessly, his eyes turned to the chair facing south in the middle of the hall.
"For so many years, the Sa family has never sat on this chair. Let's try this chair today to find out what's good about it."
Xue Huaiyi calmly sat down on the chair and waved his hands as if Wu Zetian was summoning him: "All the ministers are of equal status!"
Perhaps because he was too complacent, or perhaps he was talking too much to himself, Xue Huaiyi did not hear a soft "click" sound coming from underneath him.
After complaining that the phoenix chair was not as comfortable as he imagined, Xue Huaiyi moved off the phoenix chair angrily and lay down on the large carved bed.
After striking a random pose, Xue Huaiyi thought for a while and felt something was wrong. He climbed down from the bed again and imitated Wu Zetian's height. When he was thinking of a more alluring pose from her point of view, Xue Huaiyi suddenly smelled something.
The smell of sulfur.
Thinking of the rumor from Jiangnan, I heard that when the gang of people in Jiangnan went crazy and threw thunderbolts at each other, they seemed to be accompanied by a strong smell of sulfur.
The cheeks that were originally red due to the effect of the medicine turned pale instantly, and a cold sweat on the back of his head instantly wet Xue Huaiyi's clothes.
"Is this old woman planning to murder her husband?"
Without caring about respect and etiquette, Xue Huaiyi hurriedly ran towards the back door of the Mingtang, cursing.
It was too late, but it was faster than that. Just after running two steps, Xue Huaiyi heard several loud noises, and a dark object seemed to fly past him. Although he could not see clearly what it was, the thing brought
Under the strong wind, although he did not touch himself, his chest and abdomen felt as if someone had hit him with a hot iron, causing unbearable pain.
Several large holes were suddenly poked out of the originally splendid side door of the Mingtang. Among the gaps where the scattered bricks and tiles fell, Xue Huaiyi saw that there were several boring holes suddenly appearing on the base of the heaven that was also brightly lit.
The huge hole, the heaven dozens of feet high, has already begun to make a tooth-piercing tearing sound, and it looks like it will collapse at any time.
Looking at the side door of the Mingtang that had been collapsing and the heaven that could turn upside down at any time, Xue Huaiyi understood that the side door could not be left. Driven by fear, he seemed to have bypassed the golden pagoda in a few steps. Xue Huaiyi saw that the main door had arrived in front of him.
At that moment, a louder noise came from behind.
Feeling as if he was pushed from the back by a giant, Xue Huaiyi broke through the gold-lacquered main door carved from thick nanmu and flew out of the hall.
Xue Huaiyi, who was flying in the air, saw the beauty in palace clothes who brought him to the Mingtang on the ground. She didn't know when she had a long knife in her hand, and she had cut several of her followers into several pieces. Her eyesight went dark and she fainted.
passed.
"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me."
When Xue Huaiyi woke up in a daze, he felt excruciating pain all over his body, and his limbs and bones seemed to have left him. He reluctantly opened his eyes, and the whole world was dyed blood red.
Hearing that Princess Taiping was actually falsely accusing him of insulting the royal innocence, Xue Huaiyi was extremely angry and wanted to sneer a few words. Unexpectedly, he just opened his mouth, but he could only spit out blood in vain, but his tongue had been cut off at some point.
.
"This man set fire to the Mingtang. He deserves to die. Why should you pretend to be innocent?"
Wu Zetian's faint voice came from behind Xue Huaiyi. Xue Huaiyi wanted to turn around and beg for mercy, but he couldn't use up even a thousand pounds of strength. After trying for a long time, he just made himself squirm on the ground like an insect.
Xue Huaiyi only saw an embroidered official boot kicking his shoulder. He turned around like a rag doll and lay down flat with his eyes facing the sky.
Three of the most powerful women in the dynasty surrounded him, and he felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. This feeling of powerlessness made him extremely desperate.
"Taiping is much more decisive in doing things this time than before. Although there are many loopholes, it has made some progress. I appreciate it very much."
Wu Zetian looked at Princess Taiping, who was pretending to be pitiful. Although her words revealed that she had seen through her plan, she still gave her a rare compliment, but added: "You really want him to go."
Take my place?"
"Mother, we are all our own people here, so my daughter can speak more frankly. Since ancient times, only sons worship their mothers. How can outsiders be trusted?"
"Since even you said so, let's do it." Wu Zetian looked at Xue Huaiyi lying on the ground. The past affection was not reflected in her eyes at all. Instead, she seemed to be looking at a corpse: "You built this Mingtang."
It was also destroyed by your hands, but it was also cause and effect. For the sake of our friendship over the years, just go with Mingtang."
Xue Huaiyi leaned helplessly on Shangguan Wan'er and touched a fragrant knife from the table. He walked towards him with a strange smile on his face. In shock, he opened his mouth to shout, but his crotch hurt.
, I just felt that life seemed to be gradually draining out of my body from between those legs.
Xue Huaiyi, who had been in charge of the court for several years, died quietly on the ground of Yaoguang Hall.
