Dijun's black moonlight is back

After leaving the reed swamp, Suiyuan and Hedifeng left in two directions.

There was no one in the street that was quite busy just now.

Sui Yuan walked alone in a dark alley, feeling an indescribable feeling of fear in her heart.

She was afraid of the dark, always had been.

I don't know if it was brought from my mother's womb, or if it was cultivated by me when I stayed alone in the darkness for a long time in Honglin Garden.

As she walked, she seemed to hear something whimpering.

Sui Yuan carefully followed the direction of the sound and hid in the darkness to look at the source.

Qingruo was kneeling in the middle of the street, with two soldiers holding knives to her neck. Her body was shaking like a sieve.

It was obvious that they were not in a hurry to kill her, but just wanted to scare her and make her cry on the street.

The surrounding residents all went back to their houses, closing their doors and windows tightly and not daring to make any sound.

There were many corpses on the streets, all of which were fleet guards that Sui Yuan had seen once or twice.

This group of people were elites selected from the Imperial Guards and would not be easily killed by two people unless there were more enemy troops nearby.

But who are they trying to intimidate by holding a little palace maid hostage?
Qingruo lost strength as she cried, and her voice gradually became weaker.

The man behind her kicked her in the lower back: "Cry, keep crying. If the person the eldest prince wants doesn't come out, you will keep crying."

Sui Yuan thought for a moment and finally came to his senses.

Ever since the old nanny died, Qingruo has been helpless in the imperial city, and it is impossible for anyone to take risks for her in this situation.

unless……

"Are you looking for me?" Sui Yuan walked out of the darkness and looked at the two soldiers holding knives.

The two of them looked at each other, as if asking each other with their eyes.

"Are you a princess?" one of them asked her.

Sui Yuan was confused: "Don't you know who you are looking for?"

However, she had no intention of saying anything at the moment. She pointed at Qing Ruo and ordered them: "I'll let her go right here."

The moment the knife was taken away from his neck, Qingruo rushed over and hugged Sui Yuan's thigh.

There were two shallow blood marks on her neck, which were caused by the knife accidentally cutting the flesh.

Sui Yuan pulled her up and wiped her blood with a handkerchief: "What's going on?"

Qing Ruo cried and shook her head: "I don't know, suddenly a lot of people opened fire, rushed into the magistrate's house and arrested all the women."

"Why are you here?" Sui Yuan asked.

"I don't know," Qingruo still shook his head, "There was a very young man who said he was looking for a princess, but he didn't say which princess he was."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Two soldiers not far away scolded them: "Follow us quickly!"

Sui Yuan looked at the bloody long knives in the hands of the two men and followed them knowingly.

They took the two of them straight to the emperor's ship, but before entering the attic, they turned into the tea room on the side.

This tea room is connected to the attic lobby next to it. Previously, the palace maids and eunuchs were waiting here. If the emperor in the lobby has orders, they can pass through the hidden side door.

Sui Yuan was brought here, and the two men detained Qingruo again, put a knife on her neck and made a silent gesture to Sui Yuan.

Before she could realize what was going on, she heard a familiar voice.

"What do you think, His Majesty the Emperor?" the man in the high position asked lazily.

Suiyuan walked over, approached the gap in the side door, and looked out at the lobby through a gauze curtain.Her father-in-law and mother-in-law were actually standing in a high position, and many accompanying ministers were kneeling behind them.

There were many corpses lying around in the hall, all of them were top-notch guards from the Imperial Guard.

Suihe knelt in front of the man, trembling like a timid quail just out of the cage.

And the person who spoke was Mu Yi, the musical instrument player who had just pushed her into the water not long ago.

She turned around to say something, but the two soldiers pressed their knives a little closer and stared at Sui Yuan to threaten her.

Sui Yuan put her hand on her mouth to indicate that she would not make a sound.

"You want to marry my direct princess," the emperor laughed angrily, "and you want to marry her as your concubine?"

Hedimu Ciyi gently flicked the scimitar in his hand to the ground, and pierced the floor of the ship very easily.

He touched the gem on the handle of the knife and showed an apologetic smile: "Well, I also want my younger brother, Hedi Assassin."

Sui Yuan was stunned, brother?

Hedifeng is his brother?Then why did he say that he was Mu Yi?
"Do you know what the hostages should do when war breaks out again in a country that has made peace?" the emperor asked him.

Hedimu Ciyi stood up and stepped on the emperor's throne: "I said you'd better stop showing off to me. Your lives are all in my hands now. What rules should you tell me?"

He waved to the outside: "Bring it up."

Several assassins in black clothes were escorted up, accompanied by Hedifeng.

"Is this the person you sent to kill him?" Hedimu Ciyi asked.

Hedifeng passed by the emperor, stopped in front of Hedimu Ciyi, and turned to face the emperor and queen.

"You..." The emperor was a little surprised.

A woman covered in blood was also brought in, and was thrown to the ground by Hedimu Ciyi's men like a dead fish.

Although her face was covered with blood, Sui Yuan could vaguely tell that it was Lady Qing.

"My incompetent sister," Hedim Ciyi said, "would actually collude with your incompetent emperor."

Hedifeng stood there, looking down at this woman who was so glamorous not long ago.

She raised her head stubbornly and spat at Hedimu Ciyi: "Where can you go?"

Hedimu Ciyi came over and knelt down in front of her: "Hedi Xiliqing, you even want to kill your own brother, can you sit on this throne?"

After saying that, he raised his head and stared at the emperor sinisterly: "Princess, please sign the book again, otherwise none of you will live today."

Suihe rushed over, hugged his father's ankle, raised his head and looked at him with a tear-stained face: "Father..."

The Queen also took a rare opportunity to grab his hand, knelt down beside him, and begged him silently.

Seeing that his plea to his father was in vain, Suihe simply turned around and pointed at Hedimu Ciyi's nose: "You barbarian, I will never marry you even if I die!"

"Really or not?" Hedimu Ciyi was not angry. Instead, he went back, pulled out his knife and threw it in front of Suihe.

He looked at Sui He condescendingly: "Then go ahead."

Suffering from this humiliation, the kneeling ministers kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Hedimu Jiyi touched his chin and looked like he was enlightened: "Do you only have such a legitimate princess?"

"How did I hear that the queen has two daughters?"

He looked at Sui He and said, "This princess is indeed not to my liking. Why don't you show me another one?"
