Chapter 165 Forcing the Palace
After being startled, Xia Zhi's face immediately turned pale.

Han Poli seemed to sense Xia Zhi's abnormal mood, and immediately turned his back away, holding Xia Zhi with his blood-free left hand.

"This injury is fine, it will heal tomorrow." In Han Poli's dark eyes, there was more worry than Xia Zhi's.But after being worried, there was another wave of relief, "Ah Zhi, have you forgotten, my injuries can all be healed by myself."

Han Poli's reminder immediately woke Xia Zhi up.Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, and the blood on her face gradually recovered.

Seeing that Xia Zhi had returned to normal, Han Poli let go of Xia Zhi's hand that had been tightly grasped before.Looking down at the men in black lying on the ground, Han Poli's eyes suddenly darkened a little.

……

Emperor Dong Ling woke up leisurely from his dream.

The first scene when he opened his eyes was Xiao Yu sitting by the bed.Emperor Dong Ling felt that he could see Xiao Yu the first moment he opened his eyes, and he was slightly comforted in his heart.After the initial relief, Emperor Dong Ling frowned tightly, "I have been lying in bed for how many days, what is the situation outside the city now."

Xiao Yu heard that the first thing Emperor Dongling said after waking up was to ask about the situation outside, so he smiled at Emperor Dongling reassuringly, "Father, don't worry about the things outside, and my ministers are still making arrangements." The imperial doctor said that you need to rest."

Maybe he was worrying about those troubles as soon as he woke up, so Dong Lingdi only felt the suffocation in his chest, and it surged up again.

After gasping for several breaths, Emperor Dong Ling waved his hand at Xiao Yu, "I know my body well." Even with Xiao Yu's words of reassurance, Emperor Dong Ling felt that something was wrong.

Reluctantly propped up, Emperor Dong Ling changed from lying down to a more comfortable sitting position, "What's going on outside now, you tell me the real situation."

This posture of Emperor Dong Ling gave Xiao Yu the feeling that Emperor Dong Ling did not believe him.

After listening to Emperor Dongling's words, Xiao Yu immediately moved away from Emperor Dongling a little.Slightly lowering his eyelids, Xiao Yu lowered his chin a little bit, and said respectfully, "The soldiers who were outside before have been dispersed. A Li also entered the palace this morning."

Xiao Yu asked people to open the city gate, and those soldiers would definitely enter the city as a whole group, so it is not wrong to say that the whole group of soldiers has dispersed.As for Han Poli in the palace, as long as Xiao Yu didn't tell Emperor Dongling how he entered the palace, then Han Poli would appear in the palace at this time, and Emperor Dongling would only think that Han Poli had shown weakness.

Sure enough, Emperor Dong Ling nodded immediately after hearing Xiao Yu's words. What he was thinking in his heart was exactly the same as Xiao Yu's misleading.Although there are still some doubts about the details, "Since he is already in the palace, let's call him here now."

Although he heard a good result, when Han Poli's name was mentioned, Emperor Dongling's face became dark and gloomy.

After Xiao Yu heard Emperor Dongling's order, he still stood there with his head down and did not move.

Emperor Dong Ling looked at Xiao Yu suspiciously, "Are there any unresolved matters?" Han Poli has already been arrested and entered the palace, so there will be any unresolved matters.

Xiao Yu's eyes darkened slightly, but he still didn't answer Emperor Dong Ling's words.

Seeing Xiao Yu's state, Emperor Dong Ling's heart skipped a beat immediately, and an ominous premonition flashed across him.

After all, before he fainted this time, Xiao Yu still obeyed him in everything. As long as Emperor Dongling gave an order, Xiao Yu would do it immediately. Unlike now, Emperor Dongling has already said a few words Xiao Yu still stood there.

Emperor Dong Ling impatiently lifted the quilt covering him, and then called out, "Come here." Regardless of what Xiao Yu meant, Emperor Dong Ling gradually felt that things were getting out of his control.

That kind of feeling not only caused Xiao Yu to escape from his control, but also caused a deep sense of uneasiness in Dongling, Emperor Dongling's heart.

Immediately after Emperor Dongling yelled, a servant guarding the door walked in.

Emperor Dong Ling was only wearing a thin coat, and he frowned. Emperor Dong Ling said in a deep voice, "Where is Han Poli now, go and call him here."

Hope it turns out not as bad as he thought.

The servant felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right before he entered the door. Sure enough, after Emperor Dongling gave his orders, the servant felt a touch of cold sweat on his forehead.Taking a sneak peek at Xiao Yu from the corner of his eye, the servant saw that he did not do anything because of the order given by Emperor Dong Ling, so the servant answered bravely.

"General Han, he should be in the palace of Empress Defei now."

Sure enough, upon hearing that after entering the palace, Han Poli went directly to Xia Zhi without the consent of Emperor Dong Ling, and Emperor Dong Ling felt more and more uneasy.

Originally, he brought Xia Zhi to the palace to contain Han Poli, but now it looks like Xia Zhi can give Han Poli a foothold in the palace.

Emperor Dong Ling's face darkened even more, and he continued to ask the servant in a trembling voice, "Tell me, why did the army outside disperse?!"

After Xiao Yu listened to Emperor Dong Ling's words, he still lowered his head.It's just that he took two steps back, which widened the distance between him and Emperor Dong Ling.

Emperor Dong Ling didn't notice Xiao Yu's actions.Because he was staring at the servant closely at this time.

Being watched by Emperor Dongling with such a stressful gaze, the servant swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then sneaked a second glance in Xiao Yu's direction.

"What are you looking at? Is there something I'm hiding from you?" Emperor Dongling saw the servant's movement, and following the direction of his gaze, Emperor Dongling knew that the servant was looking at Xiao Yu without turning his head.

The feeling of suffocation in the chest is getting stronger and stronger.Emperor Dong Ling stood up from the bed with great difficulty, and when the suffocation came, Emperor Dong Ling felt that his eyes went dark, and he might faint again at any time.

Because Emperor Dongling spoke again, the servant could only swallow hard before opening cautiously, "General Han, he entered the palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Huh?" Emperor Dong Ling responded with some surprise.Then he turned his head and looked in Xiao Yu's direction.

Xiao Yu finally raised his head.

Different from the admiration he had shown towards Emperor Dongling before, Xiao Yu's face was full of chills at this time, "This morning, it was my servant who ordered them to open the city gate and let people in. "

After a pause, the chill in Xiao Yu's mouth disappeared, and there was only a strong desire for power in his words, "Besides, I just found out that the second younger brother didn't hang himself to death, but A Li moved his hand. "

"Presumptuous!" Sure enough, Emperor Dongling reprimanded Xiao Yu angrily.It was also because of his emotional agitation that Emperor Dong Ling could no longer maintain his standing body, and after getting annoyed, he fell straight towards the bed behind him.

Sitting on the bed, Emperor Dong Ling tightly grasped the pain in his chest with his hands, his face was flushed red from anger, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat from the pain.

After reprimanding, Emperor Dongling's voice was full of exhaustion in an instant, "Go, Imperial Physician Xuan..."

"Father, the second brother is dead. There are not many princes left under your knees who can take charge. Why don't you just hand over the throne to your son?"

Xiao Yu had been silent before, just thinking about Xia Zhi's promise, which required him to pay a heavy price.

But at least Xia Zhi reminded him, Xiao Yu realized that there was a great opportunity in front of him.

Opening the city gate to Han Poli is considered to be Xiao Yu's reward for Xia Zhi's reminder.

Because Xiao Yu felt that as long as he seized the opportunity right now, he could still reach that position without Xia Zhi's help.

Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Yu's words, Emperor Dongling immediately felt his eyes go dark.

Still clutching his chest with one hand, Emperor Dong Ling couldn't even finish his sentence now. "You, you, you..." Trembling, Emperor Dongling stretched out his other hand, pointing directly at Xiao Yu.

"Father, I hope you can agree to this. After all, your health doesn't look very good now." Xiao Yu seemed to think that the previous words were not strong enough, and added another sentence.

After Emperor Dong Ling's eyes went dark, before a new burst of suffocation in his chest came, he finally passed out directly as Xiao Yu wished.

Not fainting on the bed, but with his forehead touching the ground, Emperor Dong Ling fell to the ground.

Without any support, when Emperor Dongling's forehead touched the ground, there was a loud noise immediately.What was even more unexpected was that immediately after Emperor Dong Ling fell, a pool of blood flowed from Emperor Dong Ling's forehead.

The servant who was sent by Emperor Dongling to call the imperial physician before did not leave.

He just stood there, listening to Xiao Yu forcing the palace in a daze, and then watching Emperor Dong Ling fall off the bed in a daze.

However, a puddle of blood spread out on the ground in an extremely strange way.

"His Royal Highness..." After being absent-minded for a long time, the servant finally recovered from the panic.The first thing after regaining consciousness was to call Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's face was indifferent, if he could ignore his slightly trembling body and his clenched fists.

Closing his eyelids, Xiao Yu was silent for a long time before ordering to his servant, "Father, you are dead."

After listening to Xiao Yu's words, the servant's body suddenly turned cold.

He also trembled, and only shouted in a shrill and terrified voice, "Your Majesty, you're dead—"

The news inside spread quickly in the palace.

Then there is the whole of Kyoto.

Finally, the entire Dongling.

"Dang—" The funeral bell rang from the tall building, and everyone could hear it.

The sky gradually became dark.

At this moment, Han Poli was standing in front of the window with Xia Zhi in his arms, looking at the dark sky and listening to the funeral bells.

"Finally, it can be over." The muttered words were quickly blown away by the wind.
