Shenhua Mountain. Huo Ranwen.
Qingxu Palace is quiet and ethereal, and Yu Rong, who is practicing, feels something in her heart.
Turning his head to look in the direction of Chang'an City, he clicked his fingers quickly. After a long time, Yu Rong, who sensed something, smiled and cast a spell to send a message to Chunyang Station in Chang'an City...
morning.
During the battle, Prince Li Zhang met his father and the current emperor again.
The father and son were face to face. Li Zhang, who was wearing armor and military uniform, looked at his crazy father and wondered whether he should take action. The old emperor was yelling and cursing. There was no one else in the palace except a few confidants of the prince. It was obvious that many people were suggesting that Li Zhang should do something quickly. If the old emperor were to be killed, the worst he could do would be to announce the old emperor's illness and death in accordance with the practice of the previous dynasty.
"You traitor! I wish I had drowned you to death!"
The words were hard to hear. It was obvious that although the old emperor was fatuous, he also knew that he would definitely die if the new emperor wanted to ascend to the throne. He would not be able to survive anyway, so he just had to be tough and it was rare for him to rise up.
After bowing his head in silence for a long time, Li Zhang raised his head, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Then he raised his sword and stabbed the old emperor in the chest...
"Father, I'm sorry..."
The old emperor looked at the sword on his chest in disbelief and felt the loss of strength. His legs became weak and he couldn't help but kneel down. Holding the sword in his hand, he watched as his once-loved son suddenly woke up and regained his consciousness from the past days of debauchery.
This sword pierced his aging body and broke the charm cast by the fox demon.
The old emperor regretted it, but it was too late.
"Zhang'er..."
A call made the numb Li Zhang collapse completely. The memories of the past welled up in his heart and he couldn't stop the tears. He knelt down tremblingly and supported the old emperor in an effort to prevent his father who had once lifted him high from falling.
"Father...the child is wrong..."
Prince Li Zhang cried loudly, but the old emperor just smiled and tried his best to reach out and touch the cheek of the child he had touched countless times many years ago. Now he has grown up.
"Your Majesty...be a good emperor...don't be as stupid as your father..."
"No! My father is a good emperor! He is a good emperor!"
The old emperor's palm caressing Li Zhang's cheek fell weakly...
Li Zhang, who was holding the old emperor in his arms, wailed and cried heartbreakingly. Patricide would leave an indelible regret in his heart for the rest of his life.
Bai Yu in the True Dragon Palace sensed the death of the Human Emperor, but looked up and showed no expression. In fact, a few days ago, Bai Yu sensed that the old emperor's dragon energy was weak and unstable. In order to prevent the fox demon from being alerted, he deliberately concealed his luck. .
Prince Li Zhang held the corpse of the old emperor with the sword inserted into his chest and cried loudly. He felt regret and hatred. He hated the witch who had deceived his father and caused the current tragedy. Several capable brothers were killed by his own hands. Even Ci Xiang His father was also killed by his own hands. No one is born cold-blooded and ruthless, there are just poor people who are forced to do so.
"Witch! I will kill you!"
Angry roars echoed over the Daming Palace. The fox demon was frightened when he heard the words and hurriedly escaped from the palace without choosing a way.
Li Zhang, who raised his sword and wanted to avenge the fox demon, was stopped by a group of people loyal to other princes before he could go too far. Li Zhang killed their master. They knew there would be no way to survive in the future, so they simply killed Li Zhang without stopping. Anyway, There are many young princes who are not short of this one.
One group is prepared warriors, and one side is a madman who has no support and no way out.
The two parties fought fiercely in Daming Palace.
In the True Dragon Palace, Bai Yu, whose legs turned into snake tails, half human and half snake, was sitting on the dragon chair and taking a nap, listening to the sound of fighting with a happy face...
The fighting lasted from morning to afternoon, and then after dinner time.
As the sun sets, the blood in the Daming Palace turns red into the fire clouds.
Covered in blood, Li Zhang dealt with all the opponents, then led his troops to search for the witch, and forced the witch into the imperial garden while searching for traces. The witch was difficult to kill because of her magic skills, but she also lost many soldiers, so she could only be forced slowly. Go to the True Dragon Palace.
Time came to the moment when Bai Yu looked at the full moon outside the sky window.
The imperial garden was full of soldiers holding torches, and they were constantly shrinking the encirclement and approaching the True Dragon Palace with murderous intent.
The demon fox relied on its magic to hide among the rockeries, trees, flowers and grass, and kept using its magic to confuse the searching soldiers to go elsewhere or lose sight of her. However, there were too many people and the magic was low to confuse them all.
I was running away, and suddenly I ran near Li Zhang who was guarded by the crowd in the middle. I immediately had a plan on my mind...
Li Zhang's eyes flashed, and then he saw himself appearing on the dragon chair in the court hall. All the ministers shouted long live, and the palace maids and eunuchs saluted him. Li Zhang, who had just ascended the throne, did not dare to neglect government affairs and listened carefully to the opinions of ministers from all over the country. He made comments and instructions, and finally took out the jade seal and stamped it with a big seal to issue an imperial edict.
Feeling very tired after all the busy work, I waved my hand to indicate that this was the end of the day.
Now the chief eunuch himself came forward with the young eunuch who had served him back then.
"Retreat from the court~!"
The ministers once again shouted long live the mountain, and the tired Li Zhang got up and left.
Li Zhang, who had already ascended the throne, suddenly remembered that he had not yet visited the harem. He walked somewhere with nothing to do and saw an enchanting beauty on the bed in a luxurious room. Uncontrollable heat suddenly rose in his tired body.
Thinking that he was the emperor and everything in the harem belonged to him, he laughed loudly and pushed open the door and walked in. The charming beauty refused but still greeted him, which made Li Zhang furious. He pushed back everyone and pounced on the beauty...
From then on, Li Zhang no longer went to court and was obsessed with the harem every day.
When I woke up one morning and held the enchanting beauty in my arms, I suddenly realized that she looked familiar. When I took a closer look, she turned out to be my father's concubine Hu!
"Your Majesty~ How can you let me go~ As long as Your Majesty is willing to accept my concubine, I will definitely serve His Majesty for the rest of her life~"
A charming voice sounded in his ears, but Li Zhang's face turned ugly. He thought of his mother, his father, and that he was hunting down the witch!
"Bold monster! How dare you confuse me with illusions! Wake up!"
The scene flashed, and Li Zhang was still standing in the imperial garden, with soldiers around him searching for the witch. He felt embarrassed when he recalled that he had actually been tricked into doing such a shameful thing in his dream, and became even more angry at the witch.
Suddenly, some soldiers discovered the figure of the enchantress.
"Here! Ah..."
"Careful! Don't spread out!"
A group of soldiers narrowed their range among the rockery flowers in the imperial garden. The panicked fox demon approached the True Dragon Palace inadvertently, and Li Zhang also arrived outside the True Dragon Palace.
The desperate fox demon looked at the True Dragon Palace and without hesitation opened the door and got in.
Prince Li Zhang was overjoyed.
In the hall, Bai Yu looked at the fox demon who ran in but was surprised by the room full of flowers and green plants. The fox demon's charming face was panicked and looked around blankly, but at the last glance he saw Bai Yu on the dragon chair.
"Little fox, you are very good."
With an inexplicable word, the fox demon suddenly felt a huge threat...
"squeak……"
Bai Yu held a puppy, a big white fox, in his hand.
Put the fox down.
"You have helped me a lot. I won't kill you today. There is a hole in the corner that leads directly to the underground passage. Let's go."
The fox bowed three times with his paws clasped into fists and turned to leave.
Bai Yu pretended to be tired and sat on the dragon chair. Li Zhang opened the door again and came in. He looked around and did not find the figure of the enchantress.
"She was eaten by me."
"died?"
"died."
After learning about the death of his enemy, Li Zhang suddenly felt at a loss. Only the True Dragon Hall in the Daming Palace could allow him to think quietly, so he simply sat on the stone where he usually sat and stared at the full moon outside the window in a daze.
The queen mother died, the father died, and his brother was also killed by his own hands. I felt lonely for no reason...
I recall that my ancestor, Emperor Li Chongqian, kept mumbling the words "lonely family and widower" before his death...
Now that the enemy witch is dead, he will ascend to the throne of God...
Pain, confusion, loneliness...
Only the full moon in the sky reminded him that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion. Where is home? Alone?
"What day is today?" Bai Yu asked.
"August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Is the moon round outside?"
"Very round."
"I miss home very much."
Bai Yu's tone was lonely, and his snake-pupil eyes seemed to see the full moon through the roof.
"…………"
Li Zhang was silent.
"It's hard to have a home and not be able to go back. Can you... help me pick a lotus?"
"Can."
Li Zhang, who was exhausted physically and mentally after a hard day's work and felt guilty about Bai Yu, stood up and took a look. There were only a few lotus buds in the water tank, and only a green lotus bloomed in the Yin and Yang pool.
Bend down, reach out, grab Qinglian and gently pull the flower off.
Green lotus is very fragrant...
suddenly! The green lotus suddenly caught fire! Frightened, Li Zhang casually threw away the flaming lotus, but strangely, the lotus leaves in the entire Tai Chi Yin and Yang Pond burned. At the same time, the fire jumped outside and ignited the green lotuses in the Bagua Pond surrounding the True Dragon Palace!
Li Zhang had a bad feeling...
Sitting on the dragon chair, her pretty face is hidden in the shadows and her expression cannot be seen clearly. Baiyu Snake's pupils are glowing red!
