Shangguan Wanning sneered inwardly, he couldn't ask for anything.
When Shangguan Yue learned that Shangguan Wanning had fallen into Xiao Beiming's hands, he immediately came to the Ming Palace and wanted to take Shangguan Wanning back.
"Prince, Ning'er is young and ignorant, or..."
"I know what you are thinking." Xiao Beiming interrupted Shangguan Yue, "You can rest assured that as long as I succeed in the big thing and can successfully ascend the throne, your daughter will definitely not be in trouble."
"You have worked for me over the years, both for me and for hard work. Even if she refuses to marry me, I will not kill her. Now you just need to be at ease to do things for me, don't think too much about everything else."
Shangguan Yue sighed helplessly, and began to wonder in his heart how to bring Shangguan Wanning back to him.
He knows his daughter's personality very well.
They have a deep affection between mother and daughter, so she will definitely not let her mother die so depressed.
"Prince, it's not good."
The guard hurriedly walked in, sweating profusely and looked extremely panicked.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Beiming asked with a frown.
"I just received a report that those people who were infected with serious illness were all stable and some people have recovered. Now it is said that the streets and alleys are spreading, and the emperor has received God's permission. He is
The true emperor.”
Xiao Beiming's face changed suddenly.
This is the most important part he used to win over the people's hearts, but it was cracked by Xiao Yujue.
He immediately thought of Shangguan Wanning, and his angrily eyes turned to Shangguan Yue.
Shangguan Yue was shocked.
He noticed that Xiao Beiming had already moved his murderous aura.
"Prince, I heard from the palace that the emperor has issued an order to hold a ceremony for worshiping the heavens and pray for the people."
At this time, if such a major sacrificial ceremony was held, wasn’t he afraid of something wrong?
Xiao Beiming winked at Shangguan Yue.
"Prince, please rest assured. I will go to the Imperial Heaven Supervision to inquire about the news immediately. It's just..." Z.br
"Hmph, you don't have to worry. Now that things have come to this, as long as you stand on my side, Shangguan Wanning will be fine."
"Thank you, Prince."
Shangguan Yue withdrew, but he still couldn't feel completely relieved.
He thought about it over and over again, and took the opportunity to go to the palace to report the matter and quietly went to Concubine Wu's bedroom.
"Why are you here?"
When Concubine Wu saw Shangguan Yue's haggard look, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
She sent off all the eunuchs and palace maids and came forward to help Shangguan Yue sit down. "Have you had a meal? I'll let someone prepare some for you?"
"No need. Where is Ning'er?"
"She is resting in the west wing."
Shangguan Yue was full of thoughts, held Concubine Wu's hand, and said, "I have done my best for you, mother and son over the years. I am so old and have nothing to ask for. Please be sure to keep my daughter.
Don't let someone hurt her life."
Concubine Wu looked at Shangguan Yue, and scenes of past events came to her heart.
She suddenly found out...
They really can't go back.
Even if Xiao Beiming ascended the throne, they would not be together openly. In the end, there was more other people's existence in this man's heart.
"Okay. I will do my best to protect her."
"Thanks."
Shangguan Yue patted the back of Concubine Wu's hand, got up and walked out.
He walked back with great worries. When he looked up, he saw a thin figure standing at the end of the corridor.
The moment the two of them looked at each other, they were all filled with emotion.
"Ninger..."
"Dad, there is a saying, I want to ask you for my mother."
Shangguan Wanning walked to her father step by step. The man who held her in her hand and loved her made her feel so strange.
"You ask." Shangguan Yue was in the mood when he saw his daughter.
Instantly, I calmed down.
"Mom has been with you for more than 20 years. Have you... ever really loved her?"
Shangguan Yue lowered his head, took a deep breath, and said, "I respect her and pity her, but... I have never loved her. Ning'er, one day you will understand that when there is someone in your heart, other things
People... can't pretend..."
"So, you can forgive me even though you know she forced my mother to death? You turn a blind eye?"
Shangguan Wanning turned around angrily before tears fell.
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is scheduled to be held ten days later.
Xiao Beiming received the news that the local defenders who supported Xiao Yujue were ready to move, and some of them had even set off to the capital, which was obviously going to go to Beijing to protect their troops.
The forces of both sides have turned secret struggles into open struggles, and everyone knows that this is a life-and-death battle.
Within these ten days, officials from all over the country took sides and bet on their entire lives.
The ceremony of worshiping the sky was held as scheduled. Xiao Yujue wore a dragon robe and walked towards the platform step by step.
Just after he held up the incense and worshipped, he wanted to insert the incense into the incense burner, the table where the offerings were placed in front of him suddenly collapsed.
"Protect the car!"
The eunuch general shouted in panic, and the imperial guard immediately drew out the steel knife and protected Xiao Yujue in the middle.
"Your Majesty, it seems that God is unwilling to accept your worship. Should you...be reflect on it?"
"Uncle, I'm afraid someone did it on purpose?"
Xiao Beiming smiled coldly. He stopped disguising himself and walked up to the platform surrounded by his confidant guards.
"You say yes, that's it. The emperor, the Xiao family's country should have someone who can do it. If you think about the people, you should abdicate and give way to the wise."
"Which the emperor is talking about is not what he means to himself, right?"
Xiao Beiming walked to Xiao Yujue and whispered: "If you order to abdicate now, I can still save your life and spend the rest of your life in a corner. But if... you are obsessed with it, don't blame me for not reciting it.
Flesh and bloody love.”
"Uncle is so confident, will he win?"
"Or what do you think?"
Xiao Beiming waved his arm, and a large group of imperial guards surrounded Xiao Yujue, and dozens of archers put their bows on the strings, ready to go.
"As long as I give you a command, you will be shot out of the hedgehog."
"I'm afraid it may not be."
As soon as Xiao Yujue finished speaking, a few loud "boom" sounds came from afar.
Xiao Beiming frowned slightly, and his face changed slightly.
"Do you think you will be foolproof when you guard the gate of the capital? Now, the King of Zhennan has led his troops to open the gate and will soon attack the palace. Those people you arranged... are now waiting on the Huangquan Road
You are here."
"Do you think I will believe it?" Xiao Beiming scolded, "Shoot the arrow and kill him."
"I want to see, who dares?"
Xiao Yujue has Mu Jingrui as his backing and is full of confidence.
His sharp eyes glanced around and scolded, "Think clearly, I am the king of a country. Now, the King of Zhennan has controlled the capital. After killing me, not only will you lose your life, but your family will also
