When everyone saw that Tiehou had killed his son with a palm, they were frightened. Bai Zhuo sighed: "The Marquis Tie's righteousness in destroying relatives is a lesson in loyalty. Then who do you think will be the culprit behind the scenes?"
"My king is wise and has naturally made a decision. I don't dare to speak nonsense!"
Jin Yu, the audience member, was also very impressed, "This guy acts decisively, plays hard to get, and gets away with it beautifully. He is really an old fox!"
Sure enough, Bai Zhuo ordered, "Go and bring Anle Hou Yuji over!"
Next to him, Yu Qi yelled, "I am the only one to do the work, and my master has nothing to do with it!"
At this time, Jin Yu stepped forward to report, "Commander Tie has been a close friend of Yu for seven hundred years, and is still ambiguous with Yu Feng. He will be involved in it. Please punish him for his crimes."
As soon as this statement came out, someone immediately echoed, "These two people sneaking into the palace easily must have something to do with him." These surrendered ministers had long had a grudge against him, but now that they had the opportunity, they pushed the wall down.
Tie Shisan was kidnapped and was accused of injustice. At this time, Bai Zhuo's military advisor Qing Zhe hurriedly stopped him, "My king, these people are still thinking about the previous dynasty and hate Commander Tie deeply, and they want to take this opportunity to get rid of them. You must not be fooled."
The two factions couldn't argue with each other, and Bai Zhuo couldn't make up his mind. At this time, Yuji came in. When he saw the situation in the palace, and when he saw that Yufeng and Yuqi were both captured, he already understood what was going on.
He pretended to be stunned and remained silent, but in reality he was thinking quickly. Bai Zhuo asked: "Marquis Anle, your bodyguards and your sister tried to assassinate me. What do you have to say?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ji quickly knelt down and said, "My king Mingjian, they must have been bewitched by traitors and committed a serious crime. Please show mercy to my king and spare their lives."
Bai Zhuo smiled and said: "You pushed it all!"
Yu Ji kowtowed repeatedly, like a chicken pounding rice, "They were confused for a moment, please forgive me!"
Yu Qi shouted loudly: "This matter has nothing to do with my Lord. Come at me if you want to kill or chop him."
Yufeng also hissed: "You weakling, your father has a spirit in heaven, and he will never die with his eyes in peace!"
Yu Ji turned a deaf ear and just kowtowed, blood dripping down his forehead. When His Highness's former ministers saw such a tragic situation, some sighed softly, while others hid their faces and couldn't bear to look directly. Seeing this, Bai Zhuo asked someone to help him up, and also ordered Jin Cheng to come forward and serve him.
With light hands and tearful eyes, the beauty wiped the blood from his forehead.
"Marquis Anle's words are conclusive. It seems that they really have nothing to do with this matter." He looked at Tie Shisan and said, "You are a meritorious minister, but it is really difficult to justify this time. I will give you a chance!"
He pointed at Yufeng and Yuqi with his finger, "These two have committed regicide, which is a capital crime. If you execute one of them yourself, you will prove your loyalty."
Thirteen was untied and someone handed him a knife. Yu Qi yelled, "You traitor, give me a good time if you dare!"
Facing brothers of life and death, Thirteen's heart felt like a knife piercing his heart. How could he succeed? He turned to Yufeng, his steps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Yufeng's eyes were sharp and unruly, "That's right. Let me put an end to this princess quickly so that I won't suffer further humiliation."
Thirteen was so close to her that the hand holding the knife was trembling. Yufeng sneered and said: "I might as well tell you that this princess has been using you and toying with you. You are still so passionate and daydreaming. What a pathetic thing!"
Tie Shisan roared in his heart and pierced the princess's chest with a knife. The two of them did not separate. The princess rested her head on his shoulder and her voice became smaller and smaller, "You finally did something right!"
Thirteen's heart was like a knife, and he burst into tears. He whispered in Yufeng's ear and asked: "Did there ever be a moment when you really wanted to be with me?"
"I don't know... take care of my brother..."
Yufeng died in his arms, and Shisan was covered in blood, as if he was in a daze, and let others drag him away.
Over there, Yu Ji also cried uncontrollably, with heart-breaking pain. Bai Zhuo waved his hands and said: "No more deaths, it's so bloody, it has wiped out the elegance of all the ministers, let's stop here!"
Bai Zhuo returned to the palace, and only military advisor Qing Zhe was left with him.
"My king, why did you let Tie Zheng and Yu Ji go so easily?"
"Tie Zheng is a cunning man who only wants to protect himself. If I push him hard, the Iron-Blooded Ninth Academy he controls will rebel, and we will have to pay the price. And with his precedent, the Jin family will also be in danger. Undoubtedly, it will create more powerful enemies for us, and the gains outweigh the losses."
Qing Zhe nodded, "My king is very concerned about this. We need to take long-term measures to weaken their power."
"As for Yuji, although he has lost his soul, he is still the prince of the previous dynasty. If I convict him hastily, the ministers will be coldhearted and the people will be frightened, which will be detrimental to the overall situation."
"My king is still too far-sighted and the minister is short-sighted. Then why don't you pursue Tie Shisan?"
"His great loyalty is still there, but he is trapped by his petty feelings. We just need to be careful."
"But Wei Chen believes that Yu Qi must be eliminated, and Yu Ji's wings must be cut off. When the situation is stable, we can take the opportunity to destroy him and eliminate future troubles forever."
"But I have already said that no more people will die, which is equivalent to pardoning Yu Qi's death penalty. You have no words to say. How can I justify myself?"
"As for Yu Qi, there is a more suitable way to deal with it..."
The moonlight tonight is as bright as snow. Yu Qi was in the dungeon, feeling dejected. He learned that he was sentenced to exile in the "Soul-Destroying Valley". This was the last time he saw the moonlight. He was not afraid of death, but when he thought about His Highness's even more worrying situation, he couldn't let go.
At this moment, the jailer came slowly with a dinner plate, four side dishes and a jug of wine. Yu Qi was not polite, feasting and drinking freely.
The man carefully lifted the veil and said softly: "Brother Qi, it's me!"
Yu Qi knew who it was without turning around, "So it's the Commander-in-Chief. Are you here to see my joke? I, Yu Qi, have seen through life and death. I smiled innocently. It seems I have disappointed you."
"What did you say? I tried my best to sneak into the cell and come here to rescue you." He carefully handed over a key, "Open the iron shackles and unlock the seal. With your magic power , it shouldn’t be difficult to escape.”
Yu Qi did not accept it, "What will happen to His Highness if I escape? Bai Zhuo will definitely be angry with him. My death is a small matter and I must not harm His Highness again."
"But Brother Qi, the Soul-Destroying Valley is better than hell. It's even harder to die and you will never be reincarnated. How can I just watch you suffer like this?"
Yu Qi swallowed the last sip of wine and turned to him, "Don't waste any words, I won't run away! If you still cherish the old friendship and take good care of His Highness, Yu Qi will still have a smile even if his soul is gone."
Tie Shisan left, and silence returned to the prison. As time passed, Yu Qi's mood gradually returned to calm. A series of tiny footsteps broke the tranquility again, and Yu Qi's heart suddenly tightened.
Golden oranges come and bring an exquisite food box. When I saw Yu Qi, I burst into tears without saying a word. "Why? Why is it like this? You are a good person and you do not deserve such evil retribution!"
Yu Qi endured the sadness in her heart and responded coldly: "You are the fox king's concubine, and you are toying with us. I am a dying person, so you don't have to show off here."
Jin Cheng was heartbroken: "I know you hate me, but I have my own reasons. God can tell you, and my love for you is not false at all."
"When you plotted to kill my king, we broke all ties with each other. There was only hatred and no love."
Jin Cheng stopped crying and sighed: "It turns out that some mistakes are really unforgivable!"
She took out a tips bag and handed it to Yu Qi, "This is my most precious thing. Maybe it won't be of any help to you, so please accept it!"
Yu Qi didn't even look at it, raised his hand and threw it out, "I, Yu Qi, take life and death lightly and will never accept charity from the enemy. You can leave!" His expression was decisive, and Jin Cheng cried sadly, so he could only leave sadly.
The next day, the situation was bleak, everything was bleak, and there was continuous heavy snow. Yu Qi was sunk into the "Soul-Destroying Valley" and never seen again.
Yuji was imprisoned in the palace and could not leave even an inch. He observed the abnormal phenomena in the sky and the sudden changes in the situation. Knowing that Yuqi had been poisoned, he couldn't help but break his heart and shed tears on his clothes.
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Yuji was placed under house arrest in the palace, like a bird in a cage, unable to move even an inch. Sometimes when I'm depressed, I want to give it a try and save the day, but there's always concern in my heart that's hard to let go of. That smart gaze could always illuminate the dim dreams and bring him hope.
When the flowers bloom, things take a turn for the better. The demon world was peaceful and there were no more disputes. Bai Zhuo returned to Qingqiu, Jin Yu was in charge of Yushui, and Tie Shisan led the guards to set up defenses in the city. It's a peaceful time again, quiet and peaceful.
Yuji has also been lifted from the ban and can move around the city as he pleases. Over the past few years, people have forgotten too many things, and even the once glorious prince has become nothing more than a passerby.
Go to Rouge Lane again, the scenery is beautiful, the willows are everywhere, the prosperity is still the same, but the things and people have changed. Yuji sighed and looked up from the habit. The storefront of Hairpin Pavilion was still the same as it was a few years ago.
Yuji hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help being curious and pushed open the store door. The doorbell rang loudly, the bead curtain in the inner room was raised, the two people's eyes collided, and they stood there frozen. Jin Cheng is dressed in plain white, and the hairpins in her bun are particularly conspicuous. Yuji's heart was beating wildly and he didn't know how to respond.
Jin Cheng squeezed out a wry smile between his brows, "It's you! It seems that you have regained your freedom. Congratulations!"
Yu Ji could only respond bitterly, and then asked: "Young lady is of noble character, why didn't you return to Qingqiu with my king?"
"He has a bunch of concubines, so how can he care about me? I'm bored and just want to get back to the past feeling."
"It's a pity that we can't go back to the past!" The two of them thought of Yu Qi at the same time, and Jin Cheng burst into tears.
Time stands still, and the breath of sadness flows. At this time, the doorbell rang and someone pushed in. Tie Shisan was dressed in plain armor and looked directly at Jin Cheng, "My king once said, you can hang around in the market, but don't do anything excessive."
Jin Cheng wiped away her tears and looked at her coldly, "It turns out to be the Commander-in-Chief! You have been monitoring me. Why go to all the trouble to arrest the little girl in the cell? Wouldn't it be over once and for all?"
"As long as you behave yourself, I won't interfere with you."
On the side, Yu Ji interjected coldly, "The commander-in-chief is so powerful, why should he embarrass a weak woman?"
Tie Shisan ignored him at all and continued to look at Jin Cheng, "Don't cause trouble for yourself, and don't cause trouble for others."
He slammed the door and left, Jin Cheng's tears couldn't stop flowing, "He was right, I was a big trouble. If I had died of thirst by the Tianchi, I wouldn't have caused so much trouble!"
