Chapter 3119 The Emperor’s Terror
Xinhe Imperial City is divided into three layers of outer, middle and inner city walls. The imperial palace is located in the center of the inner city, and the city gate opens at Youguan every day.
Royal Mahayana and Huang Naijian hurriedly hurried forward and entered the city after the outer city gate was closed. When they hurried to the middle city, the city gate was already closed and they opened the city gate with their waist badges.
Because of their special waist cards, the two of them opened the gates of the middle city and the inner city one after another, and then opened the palace gate. They entered the inner courtyard of the palace and went straight to the emperor's bedroom.
Lord Xin went to court every three days to listen to the court officials' memorials. When he was not in court, he got up at noon every day to go to the director's hall to handle government affairs. He usually stayed for an hour. In special circumstances, it might take up to two hours to read the memorial. Book.
After handling the government affairs, he spent the rest of the time practicing, and then visited the harem at night to visit his concubines.
In recent months, state affairs have not been busy. Lord Xin has a lot of time to practice every day. In the evening, he went to the harem to have a meal with his beloved concubine. He was also preparing to rest in the harem. He received a message from the personal eunuch Huang saying that he had returned to the palace and had an urgent report. He left his beloved concubine and returned to the palace.
Huang Naijian and the royal family rushed to the monarch's palace, entered the main gate and the ceremonial gate, and went straight to the main hall of the main palace. They took off their curtains and hats outside the door, saluted, and after getting permission, they walked into the room where the formation protection was turned on. Main hall.
Hearing that there was something secret, King Xin dismissed all the people waiting in the palace and opened a defensive array that could isolate spiritual consciousness and prying eyes to ensure that the conversation was confidential.
When he saw the royal Mahayana elder entering the palace together with Huang Naijian, he was not surprised. Then he saw the royal Mahayana elder taking out a wishful house and letting all the royal guards out, and his face could not help but darken.
When the eunuch was saluting, King Xin immediately asked: "All the royal elders have returned to the imperial capital. Who will protect the prince and princess Shu?"
The royal family and Mahayana members had just stood in formation, but they did not receive any attention from the monarch. Instead, they were grilled and questioned, and a cold feeling came into their hearts. It was pitiful that in order to make their own lineage prosperous, they ignored the laws of their ancestors and did many things they knew they couldn't do. Of.
It was in vain that they had worked so hard to protect the inheritance of their own lineage, but in the eyes of this junior monarch, they were just the guardians of his children!
It was probably after they received a slap in the face in Ningcheng that the self-deceiving Mahayana people of the Xin family realized the subtlety of the monarch's attitude at this moment, and finally sobered up.
At the same time, my heart suddenly became cold.
The frustrated Xin family members ignored the monarch and walked directly to a row of armchairs on the west side and took their seats without saying a word.
The Mahayana elders of the royal family who were once kind to him and responsive to his requests actually ignored him. Lord Xin could not help but be slightly stunned, wondering if the royal elders were so tired from traveling for a long time that they were not clear-headed and slow to react, so they did not hear his words.
He looked at the slave who had been following him for many years, and saw that the eunuch Huang who had just stood up after kneeling down was actually a lot thinner than when he left. The clothes he wore on him looked empty, his face was haggard, and his face was sad. , clearly looking like he had suffered a major blow.
There are tens of thousands of servants in the palace. As a king, he has many loyal servants, but only the loyal servant Huang Naijian will never betray.
Huang Naijian had been with him for more than a thousand years. No matter what happened in the past, Huang Naijian could calmly deal with it. He had never looked so lifeless.
At this time, Xin Guojun also guessed that the prince must have encountered something big, or very serious, during his western tour. When he thought about the temperament of his beloved princess, his heart became heavy.
He was worried and asked hurriedly: "Old servant, are you doing this with a sad face? Are Princess Shu and the prince in trouble?
Did he offend the genius of a large-scale immortal sect passing through the Xinhe Empire, or offend the direct bloodline of a tribe in the Orc Empire? ”
Huang, who had just stood up after saluting, was about to report the death of Princess Shu. When he heard that the monarch had guessed some of the truth, he knelt down again and cried loudly: "My good majesty, Princess Shu and Tai Chuang A huge disaster has occurred..."
The prisoner burst into tears, and Lord Xin jumped up from his throne in shock, his face changed drastically: "Old servant, tell me quickly, what trouble did Princess Shu and the Crown Prince cause? Where are they?"
"Your Majesty, Princess Shu and the Crown Prince are here."
Huang Naijian swallowed his cry, took out the Ruyi Room, and moved the already dead Prince Xin and Princess Shu out of the Ruyi Room and placed them on the floor in the palace.
The royal family cleaned up the prince's body and removed the blood stains, but they did not sew up the body. When it was placed on the ground, the body was still with its head missing and its eyes glaring.
Princess Xin Shu still maintains her miserable appearance with messy hair and bloody body.
The Xin brothers and sisters died with their eyes open.
Xin Hunjun saw his precious princess at a glance and became furious: "Who, who harmed the lonely princess?
Tell me quickly who harmed Xin He’s lucky star? ! The Xinhe Empire will not be at odds with the princess who dares to kill Gu! ”
The monarch's violent appearance made the Xin family's Mahayana couldn't help but recall the behavior of Prince Xin when they were in Ningcheng. They couldn't help but be disappointed. They were so blind before that they never realized that the monarch and the prince were clearly a tyrant.
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say! Your Majesty, be careful what you say!" Huang Eunuch crawled to the steps under the throne and urged with a pale face: "Your Majesty, the one who killed Princess Shu and the Crown Prince is the one who must be scolded." No! ”
"Gu Gui is the leader of the empire. Even if he is a large-scale immortal sect or the leader of an orc empire, he still has to give face. He killed Gu's princess and prince, and he clearly didn't take the Xinhe Empire seriously. Gu Gu can't scold him? He Does it have three heads and six arms, or is it a god descending to earth?”
Xin Guojun's eyes were as fierce as if he wanted to eat people, and he wished he could order thousands of troops to kill the person who killed his daughter thousands of times to satisfy the hatred in his heart.
Xin Shu has a noble destiny and is most likely to be promoted to an immortal. This is the hope for him and the Xinhe Empire! During a tour to the west, his precious daughter died outside. That man killed Xin Shu, which effectively cut off the Xinhe Empire's path to becoming a super empire and cut off his ambitions.
His dream was cut short, and Xin Guojun became arrogant and murderous.
"Your Majesty, that one is even better than a god descending to earth!"
Huang Naijian judged from the monarch's aura that the country was on the verge of going berserk, and hurriedly explained: "The person who killed Princess Shu and the prince was none other than the newly born guardian of the longevity tree!"
"What did you say?"
The frantic King Xin's pupils shrank suddenly, his face changed drastically, and his breathing was disordered: "Who did you kill Xin Shu? Who...who?"
"Your Majesty, it is the guardian of the new eternal tree! It is the guardian of the new eternal tree who killed Princess Shu."
Huang Neijian replied with a trembling voice: "The guardian of the new longevity tree came to Ning County. It was the guardian of the sacred tree who killed Princess Shu and the prince.
It was precisely because it was the guardian of the sacred tree who ordered the killing of Princess Shu and the prince that the old slave and the Mahayana princes of the royal family were unable to save the young master. ”
"..." There was a loud "buzzing" in Xin Guojun's head, and he could not stand upright. He staggered back a few steps and held onto the armrest of the throne chair with one hand to steady himself.
Huang Naijian flew up to Lord Dan, supported the monarch, helped him into the throne, and said with trembling concern: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Shu and the prince have passed away. You regard your body as the most important thing. Take care of yourself." Ah..."
Xin Guojun's legs were so weak that he almost couldn't stand when he was helped to move. When he was helped to sit down, his legs could not calm down and kept shaking.
His pupils trembled with fear, and the words squeezed out of his throat also had a trembling tone: "God...the guardian of the sacred tree...why did he kill Xin Shu?"
"Your Majesty, this is a long story, let me report it to you." Huang Naiyuan helped the monarch to sit up, then stood in front of the throne and talked about Ningcheng.
He did not hide it. Princess Shu deliberately provoked Shang Miaoyin and Lord Shang in the magistrate's mansion and killed the maid who delivered the fruit. She also ordered the royal guards to destroy the courtyard guard formation in the magistrate's mansion.
Princess Shu deliberately fought Shang Miaoyin from the ground to the air in order to stimulate Lord Shang.
If Lord Shang wants to punish her, for the sake of the majesty of the royal family, the royal family Mahayana and the prince will not agree, so that Lord Shang can be roasted on the fire.
If Lord Shang cannot punish Princess Shu, it means that Ning County's laws are no longer as powerful as the royal family, and the laws are in vain. Lord Shang's previous impartial law enforcement will also become a joke, and the prestige of the county will be greatly lost.
Princess Shu provoked Ningjun's laws in order to undermine Lord Shangjun's prestige. Who would have thought that the guardian of the sacred tree would disguise herself and enter Ningcheng, where she would encounter Princess Xin Shu who was killing civilians indiscriminately, and the prince and the royal family would be shameless in shielding the princess. Behavior.
Knowing the reason why the guardian of the sacred tree killed Xin Shu with his staff in anger, Xin Guojun's legs shook even more violently, and the hand holding the throne also shook. His voice was dry: "He didn't let Xin Shu go after he killed her." Why did you kill the prince again?”
"The reason why the guardian of the sacred tree ordered the prince to be beheaded is related to the taxes and military rations levied by your majesty on Ningcheng."
Huang Naijian then reported to Da Tian how he and the royal guards packed their bags and prepared to leave Ningcheng, but were suddenly summoned by the guardians of the sacred tree to the main hall of the county governor's mansion for questioning.
The reason why the prince was beheaded was because the monarch imposed unreasonable taxes on Ningcheng and because the prince, Princess Shu, privately increased taxes on Ningcheng.
The monarch and the crown prince, Princess Shu, exploited Ningjun in secret ways, which was the main reason for angering the guardian of the sacred tree.
Knowing that the guardian of the Immortal Tree knew his secret against Ningjun, Xin Guojun collapsed in fear, his face turned pale: "It's over, it's over..."
"Your Majesty, that's not all. The guardian of the sacred tree did not kill the old slave and the royal family in Ningcheng. Instead, he asked me to come back and send a message, asking the old slave and others to supervise that your majesty will pay back the grain and silver owed to Ningcheng within five days. Return.”
Huang Naijian knelt down sadly: "The guardian of the sacred tree still has an order, ordering your majesty and all the courtiers who conspired to frame Ningjun to commit suicide years ago to apologize..."
"No...no...Gu cannot die...Gu is the king of a country, how could he do this..."
Xin Guojun shrank inward toward the throne in horror, curled up into a ball, and shook his head desperately in rejection.
The royal Mahayana people also looked defeated.
"Your Majesty, who dares to disobey the order of the guardian of the Everlasting Tree?"
Huang's face was bleak: "The guardian of the sacred tree left the old slave alone and said a few words. He knows how your majesty's previous queens and families disappeared. Those blood debts will have to be paid with the lives of your descendants. Also.
That person said that he was sitting in Ningcheng. If the old slave and the royal guardian return to the city, and there are more innocent souls in the imperial city, all of them will be blamed on His Majesty... He also said..."
Mentioning the deaths of the previous queens, King Xin was frightened and sweatdropped on his back. He asked in horror: "He...what else did he say?"
