Chapter 1062 1063 [If Heaven is sentimental, Heaven will also grow old] (End)

The huge explosion sound was like the roaring waves of an angry sea, or like the violent thunder deep in the sky. The deafening and continuous sound impacted everyone's eardrums.

The elegant carved beams and painted buildings in Nanxun Palace shook and tilted, and the dust that swarmed up almost covered the sky and the sun.

The collapse is imminent, and the crisis does not stop there. The rubble triggered by the explosives is more terrifying than the spear fired by the Eight Bull Crossbow.

At this moment, Chen Xizhi let go of the hand holding Empress Chen, and followed the Kaiping Emperor who was being held by Li Zi as he ran wildly. He looked at the two imperial guards who helped the emperor block the falling tree at the cost of their own lives, and looked at the man named Chen An's deputy commander Luan Yiwei fought against the collapsing wall regardless of his own safety.

A relieved and calm smile appeared on her face.

After Pei Yue left Kyoto to go to the Southern Zhou Dynasty to welcome his bride, Silent Cloud began to contact her, and she had only one request from the beginning to the end, that is, she must be there to witness this scene in person.

Silent Cloud's plan, Gu Liang's city, Wang Pingzhang's ruthlessness, and Empress Chen's determination. Only the cooperation of these four figures, either openly or secretly, can complete the regicide. Their stories may be passed down in history. , but without her providing the vital gunpowder technique, who could have allowed a powerful king surrounded by loyal guards to fall into such a dead end?

During the Battle of Qishan in the Western Region, she used gunpowder to blow up the entrance to the canyon, forcing Pei Yue and the Zangfeng Guards into a desperate situation. If Ye Qi hadn't arrived in time, the final outcome would have been hard to predict.

When her martial arts training was abolished and she was locked up in the small courtyard of Ruixiangfang in the west of the city, she told Ye Qi that Pei Yue could research briquettes and she could also improve the gunpowder for making firecrackers with the help of craftsmen. , turning it into a more gorgeous and moving firework.

Just like today.

When the explosion hit, even though he reacted quickly in advance, he still could not completely protect Emperor Kaiping. As a result, a lot of gravel hit Emperor Kaiping's body, and two of them hit Emperor Kaiping's chest hard. forward.

Mo Haoli looked at Emperor Kaiping who was lying down and saw bloody gauze wrapped around his chest and ribs. Several experienced imperial doctors with excellent medical skills were working hard to treat him.

Everyone gathered around the chariot, but no one dared to speak first.

But even after escaping, his condition still made Li Zi feel guilty.

Emperor Kaiping's face was pale and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. He was not in the mood nor had the energy to scold Li Zi. Instead, he raised his hand with difficulty and pointed somewhere outside the palace.

The great hall collapsed into ruins, and everything turned into dust.

Until he saw countless rubbles being thrown towards the emperor by explosives. Even though Li Zi's martial arts skills were extremely advanced, he still couldn't block them all, and some of them hit the emperor's body.

When Emperor Kaiping boarded the imperial chariot, the imperial physician accompanying him followed him, covered in sweat.

Wu Cunren, who was standing next to him, had already prepared a draft in a matter of seconds, and would be able to write an undisputed imperial edict later.

At this point, he suddenly stopped, with a complex emotion appearing in his eyes. When everyone held their breath and concentrated, Fang continued: "Pei Yue and the other six people are all auxiliary ministers and work together on state affairs."

But today——

As soon as they walked into the curtain, a strong smell of blood rushed into everyone's noses. Concubine Wu immediately felt weak and almost fainted.

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Wu's tears rolled down her face, but she did not dare to cry loudly so as not to scare the crowd outside the imperial carriage. She took a few steps forward and knelt beside Emperor Kaiping, holding his right hand, and stared at Emperor Kaiping's face.

, although he was sobbing without saying a word, his eyes already had the will to die.

A broken beam hit her shoulder. Chen Xizhi, who had long since lost his martial arts skills and became a normal person, groaned and fell forward. She endured the pain of broken bones and raised her head. Her vision had begun to change.

It was blurry, but still looking straight ahead.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in life. From the day he watched Ning Rou'er die on his behalf, Chen Xizhi knew that he was already crazy.

Scenes of the past flashed before my eyes as fast as lightning.

If it weren't for the sacrifice of these two masters to protect him, and without the devoted guards' desperate protection, perhaps Emperor Kaiping would have been buried together as Empress Chen had imagined.

Concubine Wu took Liu Xian's arm, while Luo Ting supported Mo Haoli, and the four of them boarded the imperial chariot together.

Emperor Kaiping said again: "Tell Pei Yue that I want to see Wang Pingzhang's head before I die."

There was no trace of blood on the face of the second prince Liu Yun. After realizing that his mother, who loved his sixth brother even more, might do something extreme, he rushed to the palace without stopping. He was first blocked from the palace gate which was already under martial law, and then was blocked by

The imperial guards were sent to the Dongfu government office under the name of protection but actually under surveillance. He finally found a chance to rush over, but he could only watch the two people he respected the most being exposed to the horrific explosion.

Tears welled up in Chen Xizhi's eyes, and he shouted silently with sadness and relief: "Mother——"

Mo Haoli, who had experienced countless storms and waves, was in tears at this moment and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..."

…

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." Li Zi had tears in his eyes and his hands were trembling.

At the moment when Nanxun Palace completely collapsed, Li Zi held Emperor Kaiping in his arms and shot out, followed by Chen An, who was also seriously injured.

Emperor Kaiping coughed twice in pain, raised his hand to signal the imperial physician to pause, and said with great difficulty: "Password..."

Counting from the time when Liu Zheng was still the prince, Li Zi has been determined to follow him for twenty-eight years, and his official position and title have been rising all the way. Whether it was when he was in charge of the Kyoto garrison, he was ordered by Emperor Kaiping to create favorable conditions for Wang Pingzhang's bloodbath of the Chen family mansion.

The condition is that when the fourth prince conspires to bring disaster to Kyoto, he must sit in the imperial army to protect the palace without worries. He has never let the emperor down.

Outside the flustered and nervous crowd, a figure stood blankly beside the royal road, staring blankly at the Nanxun Palace shrouded in smoke and dust.

Luo Ting said in a deep voice: "I obey your order!"

"Bang!"

At this moment, Li Zi's voice rang in everyone's ears: "Your Majesty has spoken, the imperial concubine Wu, the prince Liu Xian, the governor Mo Haoli on the left, the governor Luoting on the right, and the concubine Wu Cunren on the left board the chariot."

The family was exterminated, relatives were bereaved, fled, hunkered down, committed suicide, faked death, went to death, this life was full of wanderings, the most stable and peaceful life was the two years of being imprisoned by Pei Yue, Chen Xizhi didn't know whether he should feel warm or ironic.

Even if you are crazy, you don't want to live.

Li Zi followed the pointing and looked over, and immediately understood. He endured the pain everywhere in his body, tried his best to walk steadily to the side of the imperial chariot, and then walked up with Emperor Kaiping in his arms.

Looking back on this life, the sky and the earth have been covered by hatred, and many killings have been caused directly or indirectly. I never expected that the person who could make me feel at ease would be Pei Yue, my undoubted enemy, let alone the one who could see through my heart.

People are also Pei Yue.

Liu Xian quickly supported her wrist and choked with sobs: "Mother and concubine, nothing will happen to my father!"

Luo Ting immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please issue an order."

She finally laughed hard but crazily, but she couldn't make any sound, and a large amount of blood overflowed from her mouth.

In a trance, a woman with a face very similar to hers and a gentle and charming temperament appeared in the void in front of her.

The guards gathered around him, and the palace guards trembled and knelt on the ground.

Emperor Kaiping breathed hard and said slowly: "The prince supervises the country on my behalf, and appoints Mo Haoli, the governor of the left, as the chief assistant minister. He also appoints Luo Ting, Han Gongduan, Xiao Jin, Gu Liang, and Li Zi——"

A series of hurried footsteps sounded behind her. Concubine Wu, whose face was stained with tears, brought her concubines from the harem, Mo Haoli, who had just laid down and was awakened, and the important ministers of the court. More imperial guards and internal prisoners rushed over.

Prince Liu Xian, who was seriously injured on the altar and had difficulty moving, also limped over with the support of the two men.

Everyone else looked sad and knelt on the ground.

Emperor Kaiping looked at the tears on Concubine Wu's face and the look of determination in her eyes, and shook his head with difficulty.

Although there are old wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, although he no longer stands proudly between heaven and earth as before, even though he suffered a serious life-threatening injury today.

But he still just tried his best to hold Concubine Wu's hand gently and said softly: "Don't cry."
