Seeing that it was a palace maid pretending to be the Queen Mother, Guan Jing immediately stepped forward with a knife, put the knife on the palace maid's neck, and asked, "Where is the Queen Mother?"
The palace maid was so frightened that she trembled and hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
Gu Xiaotian looked at a corner and said calmly: "Queen Mother, since we have been let in, why do you need to play such a little trick?"
Over in the corner, there was a faint laugh.
A figure slowly walked out from the corner, came to Guan Jing's side, and said with a smile: "General Guan, my maid is a little immature. I hope General Guan will not forget the villain's fault and spare her life."
Guan Jing slowly put down the knife, and the palace maid immediately moved away and hid behind the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother sat down slowly, not looking at Guan Jing. Instead, she looked at Gu Xiaotian and said: "He is a good seedling. He needs to cooperate well with Gu Sheng in the future."
Gu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I don't need to worry about this matter for the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother still needs to worry more about herself."
The Queen Mother said "Oh?" and asked with a smile: "Tell me, what things does the Ai family need to worry about?"
Gu Xiaotian's expression changed and became serious.
He directly took out the secret letter found in Lang Ping's mansion, unfolded it and said: "I heard before that the Queen Mother never interferes in government affairs. This is indeed the case. The Queen Mother has extended her hands to other places."
"Based on these alone, do you think it was the Ai family who did it?"
Looking at the secret letter, the Queen Mother's expression did not change, she just said calmly: "Gu Xiaotian, you are still too young. If someone imitates Ai Jia's handwriting and writes such a secret letter, then Aren’t you just wronging my family?
? "
Seeing the Queen Mother still being arrogant, Gu Xiaotian smiled slightly.
Judging from this secret letter alone, the possibility mentioned by the Queen Mother is indeed possible.
But if he hadn't come prepared, how could he have laid out the evidence so easily.
Gu Xiaotian slowly walked towards the Queen Mother and said calmly: "It is indeed as the Queen Mother said, but if Lang Ping appears at this time, what should you do, Queen Mother?"
A subtle look flashed across the Queen Mother's calm face, but she quickly returned to her original state and asked: "Which Lang Ping?"
"Queen Mother, you are really a noble person who forgets things. Lang Ping is so loyal to you, but you have forgotten him."
Gu Xiaotian said with sharp eyes: "If I remember correctly, you should have given Lang Ping a token back then."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly.
This expression was noticed by Guan Jing on the side.
He silently held the knife hanging on his waist.
The Queen Mother's tone gradually changed, and she said with a hint of threat: "It seems that you must punish the Ai family today?"
Gu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "Of course I don't dare to punish the Queen Mother. I just want to tell the truth to the Queen Mother and let the world hear it by the way."
The Queen Mother sighed and stood up slowly.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the palace.
All the guards of Cining Palace came to the entrance of the palace and surrounded the entire Cining Palace on three floors inside and three floors outside.
Guan Jing looked back and looked at the person walking into the palace.
"I really didn't expect it to be you."
These people were the eldest prince's subordinates, the soldiers who lived and died with the eldest prince on the border.
Since the death of the eldest prince in the battle, these people have dispersed.
Some returned to the military camp, and because they were subordinates of the eldest prince, they were treated unfairly.
Wrong treatment, at least I don't have to worry about it every day like before. I can be peaceful and peaceful in Kyoto, doing some less important errands, which can be regarded as leisurely and comfortable.
Some people simply left the military camp and became commoners.
But today, they all gathered back.
Guan Jing had visited these eldest prince's subordinates many times and thought that these soldiers were all tough men and very suitable for his border army, so he wanted to win over them.
Every time, Guan Jing ended in failure.
But Guan Jing still had high respect for them.
But today, they appeared here, and there is no need to explain what their meaning is.
Guan Jing was a little disappointed and said: "I originally thought you were all real soldiers, but now it seems that I was wrong."
The leader was a former lieutenant of the eldest prince named Xiang Sheng. There was a long scar on his left eye. He said calmly: "The eldest prince asked us to take care of his mother before he died. We can only take care of his mother." I just keep doing things according to the orders of the eldest prince."
Guan Jing asked: "So it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong?"
Xiang Sheng took a deep breath.
He knew what the Queen Mother was doing, and had visited the Queen Mother many times, making various insinuations, hoping that the Queen Mother would not do anything stupid. He also struggled with whether he should take good care of the Queen Mother as entrusted by the eldest prince if the Queen Mother really did something stupid like that.
In the end, it was his loyalty that convinced him.
He is only loyal to the eldest prince, and what the eldest prince says is an order.
So no matter whether they are right or wrong, as long as they complete the orders of the eldest prince, the spirit of the eldest prince in heaven will definitely not blame them.
Xiang Sheng shook his head,
Looking at Guan Jing, he said apologetically: "You have offended General Guan, and you will not survive knowing this."
"For the sake of the eldest prince, please let General Guan die!"
He gave the order, and many soldiers rushed into the palace, drew their long swords, and pointed them at Guan Jing.
Guan Jing also held the long knife, and the energy in his body was already roaming freely in his internal organs, ready to rush out of the body at any time.
The two sides are at war with each other.
Gu Xiaotian suddenly laughed.
He slowly turned his head, looked at the former subordinates of the eldest prince, and said with a smile: "The eldest prince has made numerous military exploits throughout his life. He is a hero who wants to leave a mark in the annals of history. But in the end, because of his last words, , maybe he will become a sinner in this world."
The eldest prince's subordinates all looked at Gu Xiaotian fiercely.
In their hearts, the eldest prince is a hero!
You can insult us, but you will never be allowed to say anything bad about the eldest prince!
Xiang Sheng said fiercely: "The eldest prince is a great hero in the world. If he hadn't died in the border battle, how could the good-for-nothing Sun Gusheng take the throne now?"
Gu Xiaotian said oh and asked a question.
"With the eldest prince's strength, if he is not willing to die, how many people in this world can kill him?"
Everyone present was stunned.
This was a very novel angle that they had never thought of.
Gu Xiaotian continued to ask: "Have you ever thought that the eldest prince was not interested in the throne from the beginning? The reason why he wanted to die was to pave the way for his younger brother. In his eyes, his younger brother was more important than him. More suitable for sitting on the throne."
For a time, the eldest prince's subordinates, who were still in a bit of a mess, suddenly settled down.
It got quiet.
Gu Xiaotian turned to look at the Queen Mother, "Your son is a hero, but it is really sad that he has a mother like you."
Gu Xiaotian took out a jade talisman with the word "Lin" engraved on it.
Lin is the original surname of the Queen Mother.
"I also got this jade talisman from Lang Ping. Lang Ping is just a fifth-grade official. He is not related to the Lin family. How did I get this jade talisman? I think the answer goes without saying, Queen Mother? "
Looking at the jade talisman, the Queen Mother suddenly chuckled.
She sighed and said, "It's the Ai family's negligence. I didn't count you, despite all the calculations."
"The Ai family only has one son. If he cannot take the throne, the Ai family will take the throne for him."
The Queen Mother slowly turned around, sat on the chair, looked at Xiang Sheng, and said calmly: "Xiang Sheng, please do it."
However, the Queen Mother issued an order.
However, Xiang Sheng did not take action as agreed before.
Instead, he stood there, silently in a daze.
The Queen Mother frowned and urged: "Xiang Sheng, what are you thinking!"
Xiang Sheng looked up at the Queen Mother and said softly: "Queen Mother...for the sake of the eldest prince, please stop."
"Xiang Sheng, do you know what you are talking about!"
"Is there anyone in this world who is more suitable to be an emperor than my son? Do it!"
"Don't make me say it a second time!"
The Queen Mother was a little angry.
She was not worried when her identity was exposed by Gu Xiaotian at the beginning, but now she is worried.
It seems that all this has gradually deviated from what she thought.
She never expected that these most loyal subordinates of the eldest prince would fall apart at the most critical juncture.
Not only Xiang Sheng, those
The eldest prince's subordinates were all stunned on the spot at this moment.
Gradually, there were voices in the crowd.
"Queen Mother, stop it."
"Queen Mother..."
There are more and more voices.
Guan Jing slowly released his hand holding the knife.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly. Sure enough, these eldest prince's subordinates had not changed, they were still as fierce and fierce as ever.
It is true that they are loyal to the eldest prince, but they still have justice in their hearts.
People can go the wrong way, but as long as they turn around in time, it's actually not a big deal.
Gu Xiaotian looked at the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, your situation is over."
The Queen Mother was silent.
Guan Jing walked towards the Queen Mother step by step. He wanted to take the Queen Mother back and deal with her later.
However, when Guan Jing walked in front of the Queen Mother, he suddenly felt a demonic aura.
Because he had dealt with demons too much, Gu Xiaotian’s perception of demons was more sensitive than anyone present, and he immediately warned: "General Guan, be careful!"
Guan Jing had been relaxing his vigilance towards the Queen Mother, because the Queen Mother was not a warrior, and he was not holding the sword at the moment. However, when he saw the demonic aura in front of him and tried to cut it off with his sword, it was already too late. .
The Queen Mother quickly stood up and slapped Guan Jing on the head.
Guan Jing had no choice but to raise his arm to block the attack and was forced to take two steps back.
The Queen Mother did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory. More evil spirits rose in the palace and enveloped the Queen Mother.
Gu Xiaotian quickly extended his sword towards the demonic aura, and cut away the demonic aura with one sword, but it missed the target.
The Queen Mother is no longer here.
He was just about to chase him out of the palace, but found that Guan Jing's face was pale at this time, and Guan Jing just glanced at Gu Xiaotian. He was about to speak, but lost all his strength in an instant.
He fell directly to the ground.
Gu Xiaotian hurriedly ran to Guan Jing to check. At this moment, his entire arm was completely purple.
It's poisonous gas!
Gu Xiaotian wanted to fight Guan Jing up, but as soon as he touched Guan Jing, his fingers instantly turned purple. He quickly let go and started to run the qi machine to expel the poisonous gas from his body.
At this moment, the poisonous gas had spread, and even Guan Jing, who was already at the Martial Master Realm, was poisoned. Gu Xiaotian quickly tore off Guan Jing's clothes, and the lower half of his body was turned purple by the poison.
This poisonous gas is extraordinary. Gu Xiaotian already knew it when he turned on the qi machine to detoxify. This poison is probably even worse than Leng Weidong's poisonous gas.
If it weren't for his naturally dominant body, I'm afraid there would be more of him lying on the ground now.
I really didn't expect that even a woman like the Queen Mother without any martial arts qualifications could master such a poison.
What a terrifying existence the Ten Thousand Demons Society is.
He frowned, turned to look at Xiang Sheng and said, "Get me a stretcher. I want to detoxify General Guan."
