At the banquet, Cang Junming could always feel the emperor's eyes on him.
The vague feeling of oppression made his whole body feel like he was walking on the tip of a knife.
Once there is any mistake, you will fall into an irreversible situation.
However, in this tense atmosphere, a palace official stepped forward quickly to explain a few words to the emperor. The expression on the emperor's face changed instantly.
"Hahaha... I just got a piece of good news, that is, those bandits who caused trouble in the world were all wiped out by the King of Zhen! Okay! Okay! This is really great news!" The emperor was very excited and immediately He drank three glasses of wine.
Others at the scene also echoed and expressed their joy.
A place like Jianghu can be said to be quite chaotic.
The imperial court used military force several times to bring order to the chaos, but with little success.
Those Jianghu people were always beating and killing, ignoring the laws of imperial power.
Moreover, they have high martial arts skills and high mobility, so ordinary control methods will not have much effect at all.
Therefore, these disasters have always been a headache for the imperial court.
Now that Cang Liyuan has gotten rid of these scattered Jianghu people without formal sects, it is naturally good news!
The atmosphere of the banquet became lively again, and at this time, some people began to ask about the relevant details.
The emperor was happy and immediately told them.
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Gu Jiuqing. The king used her as bait to attract the gangsters to come and kill Gu Jiuqing."
In this way, it would be a good time to take advantage of it and wipe it out in one fell swoop.
"It seems that Gu Jiuqing has accomplished meritorious deeds!" Someone said casually.
Hearing this, the wine glass in the emperor's hand fell onto the table with a "snap".
This soft sound immediately frightened the entire hall into silence.
Just when everyone was panicking, they heard the emperor laughing loudly: "You're right, she did meritorious deeds for her crime! However, after all, she committed a serious crime, and the king did not give her a chance to change her ways, so he ended her with a sword. She! It’s really gratifying! Hahaha..."
Hearing this, Cang Junming's face instantly darkened.
Gu Jiuqing... is dead? !
At that moment, he only felt his brain roaring, and he didn't have any consciousness for a long time.
The echoing laughter and flattering faces around him seemed to form a strange and bizarre scene in front of him.
He clenched his fists subconsciously, and the blood on his face immediately drained away.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!" At this time, someone on the side gently pushed his arm, which finally made him regain some consciousness.
Cang Junming suddenly came to his senses and realized that everyone was looking at him without speaking.
His brain was still in a state of chaos, but for a while, he couldn't figure it out.
"My lord, your hand is injured, but do you need Dr. Xuan to take care of it?" the palace man said.
Only then did Cang Junming notice that at some point, he crushed the wine glass in his hand.
And the fragments of the cup pierced the palm of his hand.
The bright red blood suddenly dripped all over the ground along the fingers.
"No need." He didn't feel any pain.
"Let's deal with it!" At this time, the emperor said, "Come, Dr. Xuan."
The imperial doctor came quickly and picked out the broken porcelain fragments in his palm, then applied medicine and bandaged them.
Cang Junming looked dumb throughout the whole process, as if someone had taken away his soul.
Above the main hall, the quiet sound of falling needles can be heard.
Everyone looked at each other and secretly exchanged glances, but no one spoke first.
At this time, I heard the emperor say: "Why is King Moyang uncomfortable? Why don't you go down and rest first!"
As he said this, the emperor expressed concern again, "Your face doesn't look good."
Not only was it not very good, it was as pale as a ghost.
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Cang Junming mechanically stood up and saluted, then turned around and walked out of the palace.
But for some reason, he stumbled as he walked, almost tripping his left foot over his right foot and falling flat on the ground.
"Your Majesty!" The palace attendant on the side helped him in time and said with concern and compassion, "You... be careful."
"Thank you." Cang Junming said expressionlessly, and then continued to walk out of the hall.
The entire hall was still silent, and everyone stared at his leaving figure.
It wasn't until he walked out of the hall and the cold wind hit him that Cang Junming felt a chill on his face.
Very cold, bitingly cold.
He raised his hand to wipe his face, but he felt water stains on his hand.
He looked at the water in his hand in a daze, and for a moment he couldn't figure out where it came from?
At this time, the palace man on the side sighed: "My lord, my condolences."
Condolences? What's the point of mourning?
The next moment, Cang Junming suddenly remembered that it was Gu Jiuqing!
Gu Jiuqing died in Cang Liyuan's hands and was killed by her sword!
Why! Why is this happening!
At that moment, the endless sadness turned into overwhelming anger.
"Cang Liyuan!" Cang Junming said the name through gritted teeth, as if he wanted to chew it into pieces.
The next moment, he turned around and stalked away.
"Your Majesty, that is not your residence." The palace man shouted in vain, but did not stop him at all.
It wasn't until Cang Junming's menacing back completely disappeared from his sight that the palace maid hurried back to report back to the emperor.
Just as the emperor expected, Cang Jun Minggu left the palace and went straight into the palace of the King of Zhen.
It was already dark at this time, but every household was busy watching the New Year's Eve and no one fell asleep.
From time to time, there will be the sound of firecrackers.
It was a lively New Year's Eve, but Gu Jiuqing died alone on such a lively night.
Thinking of this, Cang Junming's heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife. The pain was so painful that he could hardly stand.
Why didn't you keep her in the first place?
If she was not allowed to enter Beijing, wouldn't this happen?
In the midst of his self-blame, regret and anger, he finally arrived at the King's Mansion.
However, when facing the vermilion door, he suddenly calmed down.
There are so many masters inside, and he can't break through on his own.
Cang Junming gathered his emotions, forced a smile, and then knocked on the door of the Prince's Mansion.
Soon, the door opened, and Cang Junming was invited in in the name of paying New Year's greetings to the emperor's uncle.
He walked in unimpeded until he reached the front hall, when he saw Cang Liyuan.
Beside him, Feng Ruoyu stood, and the two seemed to be talking about something.
At that moment, Cang Junming's anger reached its peak.
He killed Gu Jiuqing with his front foot, but he was so close to this woman with his back foot!
Why!
The next moment, Cang Junming couldn't bear it anymore. He held the long sword and stabbed Cang Liyuan.
"Cang Liyuan! Go to hell!"
