Chapter 217 The vicissitudes of life
Ji Keran was still very unconvinced at the beginning, but Xiao Xilin only had a face, maybe a clever mouth, and a bit of ink in his stomach, and coaxed the emperor to be happy. Location.

He just didn't bother to take the imperial examination like a commoner, but was recommended by An Guohou to directly enter the court as an official.It's a pity that everyone compares themselves with Xiao Xilin, and they all say how young and promising this Taifu is, he can be regarded as a great talent!

Ji Keran doesn't like Xiao Xilin, but she never admits that she is jealous of him!

In addition, the woman he liked was taken away by Xiao Xilin, and Ji Keran was full of anger. After entering the palace, he sent someone to Xiao's mansion to capture Gu Yunxiao alive, and took Mrs. Zhen Guohou here by the way.

These are the two most important women in Xiao Xilin's life. If they are sent to the Tai Tuo and he can only choose one and keep one, what will happen in the end?

Ji Keran couldn't help feeling a little regretful that he couldn't catch him, and put the blade across the neck of Gu Yunxiao or Mrs. Zhenguohou in front of Xiao Xilin, seeing this man who was always superior Painful and struggling.

He held the last Thunderbolt in his sleeve, which Ji Keran left for himself.

Ji Keran had his pride, and he could never bear to be captured alive by the emperor, tortured for life, decapitated, and died uselessly.

If you want to die, you have to die in a grand manner, at least by your own hands, which is better than anything else.

But at this moment, Ji Keran suddenly changed his mind.It is not difficult for him to drag Xiao Xilin to die together, but what if Gu Yunxiao dies?

In front of Xiao Xilin, let him watch Gu Yunxiao being blown to pieces with a "bang", what kind of expression will he show?

Ji Keran couldn't help looking forward to it, it would be cheaper for him to let Xiao Xilin die like this, it would be better to make his life worse than death!
He squeezed Jing Tianlei tightly, and when Xiao Xilin was not paying attention, he threw it out viciously.

Xiao Xilin was startled, he didn't expect Ji Keran to hide a thunderbolt in his hand, and the thunderbolt thrown out was aimed at Gu Yunxiao who was resting in front of the rockery!

He wanted to turn around and rush over to save Gu Yunxiao, but it was too late!
There was a loud "bang", accompanied by Ji Keran's insolent laughter: "Master Taifu, it seems that the third girl is going to accompany me on Huangquan Road, so let's take a step first."

White smoke was billowing, the rockery was blown to pieces, Xiao Xilin's eyes were red, he didn't know if he was fascinated by the smoke, or because of his carelessness, he hurt Gu Yunxiao and his heart ached.

He held the long sword tightly and killed the man in black standing in front of him.Different from the calmness just now, Xiao Xilin's whole body now seems to tear everyone apart.

Ji Keran smiled and pierced his chest with a long sword. He looked down at Xiao Xilin's expressionless face and at his blood-stained robe. The curve of his mouth still couldn't be smoothed: " Master Taifu, I will take the third girl to take a step ahead, and I will wait for you below..."

He took two steps back, pulled the blade out of his body, staggered and fell to the ground, smiling and closing his eyes.

This ending was not beyond his expectations, but he was able to kill Gu Yunxiao. Seeing Xiao Xilin's expression of losing control, Ji Keran felt like he had finally pulled back a round.

He finally defeated Xiao Xilin, even if he paid his own life in the end!

"Ahem, husband, I'm here..." Gu Yunxiao's voice was right next to his ears, Ji Keran's slack eyes couldn't see clearly, and he thought he was already walking on the road to the underworld, otherwise how could he hear Miss Gu San's voice?
Xiao Xilin was stunned, the men in black around were in chaos because of Ji Keran's death, most of them were beheaded by Xiao Jiawei, and the rest retreated steadily.

He quickly turned around and walked towards the rockery, but not far away, he saw Gu Yunxiao leaning against a tree with a pale face and waving to him.

Hai Dongqing spread his wings and landed on Xiao Xilin's shoulders, as if he hadn't recovered yet.

Gu Yunxiao was obviously still next to the rockery just now, why did he suddenly hide behind the big tree again, looking safe and sound?

Xiao Xilin stretched out her hand and hugged her in her arms, as if in this way she could be sure that Gu Yunxiao was still alive and by her side.

Gu Yunxiao felt that the fingertips of this man who had always been calm in dealing with things were trembling slightly. Obviously, the explosion just now had frightened him a lot, so he grabbed Xiao Xilin's big hand and put it on his neck: "Husband, I am still here. .”

The pulse under the fingertips was clear, and a warmth spread from the fingertips to the heart, Xiao Xilin hugged her even tighter, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

"Qui'er was suddenly restless. I thought it was more sensitive than humans, so it must have noticed danger, so I took off my coat and put it next to the rockery. Looking at me from a distance, I seemed to be still here. While the people around me were not paying attention, Let Xiao Er take me and Qiu Hong to hide here." Gu Yunxiao stretched out his hand to caress Hai Dongqing's feathers, and said with a smile: "There are so many Kui'er, otherwise I will die now..."

Who would have thought that Ji Keran still had a hand in the end, the shocking thunder exploded on the rockery, and the huge rockery turned into a piece of rubble and powder. If Gu Yunxiao hadn't hid elsewhere as soon as possible, he would have been blown to pieces.

"Ma'am, as long as you're fine." Xiao Xilin whispered in her ear, her worries and rare fragility could be seen clearly.

Gu Yunxiao reached out and hugged him, as if silently comforting Xiao Xilin, and also telling the man beside her that she was always there.

When someone coughed, Gu Yunxiao raised his head and saw Zhen Guohou in military uniform, he couldn't help being surprised: "Uncle?"

Xiao Xilin raised his head, the remaining remnants of the Ji family were suppressed by Xiao Jiawei, and Zhen Guohou led his troops, they had been completely wiped out, leaving no one alive.

He supported Madam Zhen Guohou, patted her hand and smiled at Xiao Xilin: "When I saw the fire in the palace, I knew you were in danger, so I asked the emperor to invite half of the Imperial Forest Army over."

Zhen Guohou looked at Anguohou's mansion being engulfed by raging fire, and said: "Mrs. Hou has already sent someone to invite her out. After being fed with the medicine, she is unwilling to leave. Miss Ji left the Buddhist hall quietly, and she has not been found yet. , I don’t know if he broke in unintentionally and was trapped by the fire.”

If Ji Qingrou was really trapped, there would be no possibility of surviving.

As for Mrs. Hou, who was unwilling to leave, she probably wanted to return to ashes and ashes with this house.

An Guohou is no longer here, and Ji Keran is dead. The huge An Guohou's mansion is no longer what it used to be, and Mrs. Hou is also disheartened.After all, Lord Hou committed the crime of treason. Although he died, his family members could only bear the consequences.

In this way, it would be better for her to die cleanly in the sea of ​​fire. It would be better if the glory and wealth of the first half of her life would set off the desolation of the second half of her life, and she would die in some gutter-like place.

Zhen Guohou admired Mrs. Hou's calmness, since she didn't want to leave, he didn't force her.An Guohou's second son, wife and daughter were all captured alive and sent directly to the prison, waiting to be released.

Although they didn't know, or knew a little bit, they didn't participate in it.

It's a pity that An Guohou and Ji Keran who planned the crime of forcing the palace are already dead, and the second master of the Hou's mansion, as a child of the Ji family, can't get away with it.

"Let's go, go to the palace." The Yulin Army was seriously injured, Zhen Guohou took away half of the people, it was the emperor's grace, now that Xiao Xilin is out of danger, naturally he wants to send the Yulin Army back, and then return to his life.

Fearing that there might be fish slipping through the net in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, it would be better for the group of them to stay in the palace.In addition to Gu Yunxiao's current appearance, the imperial doctor needs to be by his side for inspection. Instead of inviting the imperial doctor to Xiao's residence for a day or two, it is better to live directly in the palace.

The emperor's face was haggard and vicissitudes. Seeing Xiao Xilin come back safely, he showed a rare smile: "It's good that Aiqing is fine. The imperial doctor is already waiting. Send Mrs. Xiao to Haitang Palace first."

Hearing that Ji Keran was already dead, and almost buried Gu Yunxiao with him before he died, the emperor mocked: "As expected of the Ji family, they are cruel to themselves, and even more cruel to others."

Hearing that Ji Qingrou was missing again, he sighed softly.The emperor had heard a little about this great-granddaughter who had never been masked, but it was not a good thing.Ji Jiaqian dotes on this daughter too much, causing Ji Qingrou to disregard right from wrong and do many wrong things.

Now it is very likely to be trapped in the sea of ​​fire and burn to death, the emperor inevitably sighed: "Maybe this is fate..."

The royal bloodline has always been weak, firstly because of internal strife, and secondly because of the thinness of heirs, he only has two sons under his knees, the eldest son committed suicide, the youngest son is an old man, nothing else.

Zhen Guohou looked at the old face of the emperor, the once high-spirited lord of a country has shown his old age.Since the death of the eldest prince, he has aged day by day. It is a lie to say that he is not sad. The emperor devoted all his efforts to cultivating this eldest son, but he did not expect such an end.

"The chief culprit is dead, and someone has to take the blame. According to my order, the second son of the Ji family will be late at the Meridian Gate, and all the female relatives will act as official prostitutes."

Hearing this, Zhen Guohou retreated, but saw the chief eunuch walking quickly. He deliberately avoided suspicion, but after not walking for a long time, he could vaguely hear a report from the hall behind him: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Gu begs to see..."

Madam Gu?Ji Jiaqian actually escaped from An Guohou's mansion, is she safe and sound?

Zhen Guohou didn't dare to sigh, and quickly put the matter behind him.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Then see and let her in."

At this time, the emperor can guess what Ji Jiaqian wants to say.

Ji Jiaqian came in a hurry, her skirt was scorched black, apparently she had just escaped from the sea of ​​fire, and rushed to the palace to ask for an interview, she was about to open her mouth, but the emperor waved his hand, stopping her words.

"You don't have to speak, I won't change my mind."

Hearing this, she couldn't help becoming anxious, knelt on the ground, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, An Guohou is wrong, and Ran Lang is also guilty, but the second brother is so innocent."

Ji Jiaqian never imagined that after escaping from birth, what she heard was that her second elder brother was escorted to the palace by the Imperial Forest Army.Obviously the second brother didn't know about it all the time, why did the emperor treat him like this?

"Innocent? As a son of the Ji family, An Guohou's mistakes, as a son of man, he should bear it all." The emperor thought that the second son of the Ji family might not really know anything about it, but just turned a blind eye. Just eyes.

If An Guohou succeeds, then he can also be rewarded.If it fails, it has nothing to do with him, and he escaped by pretending to be innocent.
