Behind Chu Huainan, there was a faint figure shaking.

Song Rou, Chen Xiaoxue, Nanjing, Western Barbarian General...

Nan Baoyi suddenly sneered.

She wondered why there were so many Western barbarians in the imperial city. It turned out that it was Chu Huainan's work.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the people of South Vietnam lowered their vigilance and led the Western barbarians into Shengjing to cause chaos. They joined forces with Nanjing to rebel against the Imperial City Imperial Guards, and then through Chen Xiaoxue, her father, Deputy General Chen, led troops to attack the city...

Chu Huainan, this is to force the palace to usurp the throne.

All the people on the street were killed.

A woman screamed and fell to Nan Baoyi's carriage, and warm blood splattered on her white and tender cheeks.

Nan Baoyi picked up the handkerchief and slowly wiped it away the blood stains.

She was still staring at Chu Huainan, as if she was staring at someone else through him.

She remembered that when she first met, the man looked as gentle as a gentleman, and also remembered that on the hunting ground, it was snowing heavily in the middle of winter. The man knelt in the snow and begged for some dignity for the prisoners.

But tonight, for the sake of the throne, he actually instigated the Western barbarians to slaughter the people.

Benevolence is him, and cruelty is him...

Through the fire and snow curtain, Chu Huainan seemed to have not seen the complexity in the girl's eyes. He picked up the wine cup and calmly raised his glass to her.

Nan Baoyi didn't want to see him again.

She ordered Tingxin to drive and immediately return to Prince Jing's Mansion.

Chu Huainan's eyes always followed her.

Nan Jing had already helped him open the city gate, and Chen Meng's army had almost entered the city at this time.

He will be able to take the capital before dawn tomorrow.

He will ascend the throne to emperor.

He will welcome the little princess into the palace. He will not dislike her for marrying someone. He will enthrone her as his concubine. He will let her lie under him and be happy...

As the man was full of imagination, Song Rou hugged him from behind.

The girl's cheeks were pressed against his spine, and her eyes were full of attachment: "Will your highness forget Rou'er if you have a new love?"

Chu Huainan came to his senses and gently held her hand.

He held Song Rou into his arms and kissed her eyebrows and lips affectionately.

He was open and honest, and his voice was like water: "This world was planned by Rou'er. Gu met Nan Baoyi because he wanted to see the beauty, but he couldn't get it, so he never missed it. But he shared the hardships and supported each other. Beauties were easy to get, but Rou'er was unparalleled in the world."

"Your Highness..."

Song Rou smiled gently and shyly, leaning in his arms obediently.

But a faint dark light of jealousy flashed through my eyes.

Chen Xiaoxue looked at them intimately, and listened to them discussing Nan Baoyi, and her pretty face was very resentful: "What's there to remember when you've married someone to torn shoes..."

"Hahaha," General Aguado, the Western Barbarian, laughed heartily, "A beauty, even if she married someone, she is still a beauty. What's more, a beauty who has married someone is not as interesting as a yellow girl?"

Cheng Zaixi played with the round fan, looked at Aguado who was drinking, and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

She leaned over and whispered in his ear.

Aguado looked at her in surprise.

Cheng Zaixi just smiled and nodded.

By the window, Chu Huainan finally hugged Song Rou enough before letting go of her: "It's time for me to enter the palace."

Song Rou carefully tidied up his hair crown and clothes for him, took two steps back, and bent his knees solemnly at him: "Rou'er wishes His Highness a clear and peaceful journey."

The other women in the room were not idle either, so they hurriedly followed Song Rou to salute.

Chu Huainan smiled, bowed his head and kissed Song Rou's eyebrows before leaving.

...

Chen Meng's army has entered the city.

Nan Jing controlled the power to mobilize the Imperial Guards. Not only did he open the city gate without authorization, but he even opened the outer palace gate.

Chen Meng's army drove straight in, and while the people in the imperial city were immersed in the atmosphere of New Year's Eve, they were as if they had entered a state of no one.

Xiaoyao Palace.

In the inner hall, Wen Tong faced the table full of New Year’s Eve dinner.

There was a cradle beside her, and the baby in the cradle was sleeping soundly.

Wen Tong leaned over and gently closed the quilt for A Ruo.

Through the bead curtain and curtain, Chu Huaixiu was dressed in a delicate and noble manner. He sat on a ring chair and ate flower cakes, praising him: "The cakes made by the Crown Princess sister are more delicious than those made by the imperial chef."

Wen Tong chuckled: "Jiaojiao also likes the cakes I make."

As the two were talking, a commotion came from outside the hall.

The little eunuch rushed in anxiously: "The big thing is not good! Your Majesty, the eldest son-in-law has rebelled! Deputy General Chen Meng led the army into Shengjing, and he was about to enter the palace!"

Chu Huaixiu was slightly stunned.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "It must be Chu Huainan's instructor behind his back. Sure enough, he shouldn't have let him go after so many royal relatives and nobles."

The little eunuch fell to the ground and cried: "Most of the Imperial Guards have rebelled. Please leave the palace to take refuge!"

Chu Huaixiu didn't care.

He called a secret guard in his heart: "Take Ah Ruo to the Northern Wei Dynasty to find Xiao Yi, and be sure to send this child safely to him."

Shengjing City was broken, and the Jing Palace and the Imperial Palace were not safe.

Ah Ruo is the life of the Crown Princess. Protecting him is more important than anything else.

He and the Crown Princess are on the target of public criticism. They fled separately from Aruo, which is safer for the children.

Wen Tong is not a drag.

She kissed Aruo's face deeply, and handed the sleeping child to the secret guard with tears and decisiveness.

There are less than a hundred confidants left.

Chu Huaixiu held Wen Tong's wide sleeves, held her hand, held a long knife in the other hand, and fought and ran towards the palace secret passage.

Chen Meng's army, the imperial guards, the Western barbarians, and the three forces came together, and flames ignited everywhere in the palace, like a city that never sleeps.

An army of 100 people attacked and dispersed Wen Tong and Chu Huaixiu.

Wen Tong was breathing violently, and through the fire and blood, Chu Huaixiu was fighting with others.

In a trance, she seemed to see her high prince Gao Guan's gorgeous clothes holding a long sword in her hand, fighting with Jinwu Guards on the banks of the Huai River...

Tears surged.

"Your Highness..."

She was hoarse.

Chu Huaixiu finally solved the team, and all his confidants were killed in battle.

He was hit by several arrows on his back, but he seemed to be unable to feel the pain. He carefully held Wen Tong's hand and hurried into the secret passage. The secret passage door slowly closed behind them, isolating all the noise and fighting.

The two of them ran forward speechlessly and tirelessly. After a long time, a little light finally appeared in front of them.

"You can go out in front - Your Majesty?!"

Wen Tong was shocked to realize that the man who always protected her was sweating all over and his face was pale.

She hurriedly supported Chu Huaixiu.

Chu Huaixiu fell to the ground weakly.

The blood spread along his laces, dyeing the dragon robe dark. He smiled, raised his blood-stained hands, and carefully stroked the woman's cheek.

I can't hold on any longer.

When you enter the secret passage, you can no longer hold on.

Wen Tong frowned and looked at the man in confusion, and finally asked the question that had been bothering her for months: "Why does Your Majesty love me?"

Chu Huaixiu stared at her calmly.

In a trance, it seemed like I was back when I was a boy traveling to study. Qushui Liushang in the garden. He lost a bet with a group of playboys and was forced to tell three love words to the girl's house.

That spring, the noble lady asked him three questions with her fingers.

In the secret passage, Chu Huaixiu curled his lips and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes as before: "The doves are singing in the river island. A beautiful lady is a good match for gentlemen."

Wen Tong showed a sense of familiarity.

Tears rolled down, and she said hoarsely: "Have you known your Majesty?"

Chu Huaixiu slowly wiped away her tears: "There is a beauty who will never forget her when she sees her. If she doesn't see her for a day, she will think of her like crazy..."

Wen Tong suddenly woke up.

Chu Huaixiu was the boy who loved her several years ago!

Wen Tong burst into tears: "It turned out to be you..."

Men's consciousness gradually blurred.

His voice intermittently, saying the third love sentence that he had never said back then: "I wish to be a bird with wings in the sky, and I wish to be a branch on the ground. The world is eternal and sometimes ends, and this hatred is endless, and there is no end to it..."

The scroll in his arms rolled quietly to the ground.

The girl in the painting, wearing a flower god mask, raised her sleeves, and was dancing a white dance in the lanterns.
