A tyrant develops a daily life

Chapter 139 The Dust Settles
God, what did she do?
She killed someone!

Lin Miaomiao covered her mouth and pressed the scream into her throat, unable to believe that she really did such a terrible thing.

She didn't even have the guts to trample a small earthworm to death, but now...

Before she could be freed from the horror, the front door lit up torches one after another, and walked slowly towards her.

It was cold and windy, and in the corridor, the emperor was sitting on an official hat chair covered with tiger skin, his face was slightly illuminated by the firelight, his lips were still bloodless, but his eyes were almost sharp.

He glanced at Lin Miaomiao and Murong Jing who were "brought" back. Lin Miaomiao was bound and knelt on the ground, and Murong Jing was lying on the side, unconscious, both of them were covered with mottled blood.

The emperor gestured to An Xishou, and An Xishou brought two cloaks, one to cover Murong Jing and the other to Lin Miaomiao's shoulders.

"What's the matter with the blood on your body?" the emperor asked.

Lin Miaomiao turned her face away and said nothing.

An Xishou looked at her condescendingly and said: "If you don't want to suffer, the old slave advises Miss Lin to answer the emperor well. Miss Lin has a strong body, but Second Young Master can't stand any punishment."

Lin Miaomiao looked at An Xishou coldly: "I am talking to the emperor, when will it be your turn to intervene? Don't force me to settle the account of you arresting my family right now!"

An Xishou fell silent.

The emperor smiled kindly: "It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I just care about you, and I'm afraid what happened to you..."

"I met Pei Lang." Lin Miaomiao said.

The emperor was obviously taken aback: "He returned to the capital again? Where is he?"

Lin Miaomiao lowered her eyes and said, "Run away. When I saw the fire, I thought it was Jingxi's person, so I ran away in fright."

The emperor raised his eyebrows indifferently. Pei Lang was already an abandoned child, so there was no need to bother to find him, and then he turned his eyes to Lin Miaomiao's face: "You are brave enough, I remember the first time I saw you It was in the imperial palace, at that time you were still like a frightened little rabbit, you dared to go against me after not seeing you for a few months."

Lin Miaomiao didn't answer.

The emperor touched the jade ring on his thumb: "Lin Miaomiao, I will give you a chance, a chance to survive."

"Conditions?" Lin Miaomiao asked, trying to calm herself down, and met his sharp and domineering eyes.

The emperor is the king of a country, and few people dare to look at him so boldly. He could feel a trace of fear from the pretended stubborn eyes of the other party, smiled and said: "I remember right, you seem to be almost fourteen Now, it's time to talk about marriage, do you think the status of the princess is worthy of you?"

"The prince already has a concubine, and the emperor wants to depose the concubine and make me his successor?" Lin Miaomiao paused, "The emperor wants to abolish the prince?"

The emperor neither admitted nor denied it: "It seems that you don't know about the jade seal yet. The empress stole my jade seal and quietly gave it to Jingxi. What do you think it means?"

Lin Miaomiao said expressionlessly: "It means that your wife doesn't trust you anymore, and you have betrayed your relatives, and the retribution has arrived."

A cold light flashed across the emperor's eyes, and after a while, his gentle expression returned: "I have many sons, you just need to say whether you want to be a princess or not? Do you want to be a future queen?"

"Think." Lin Miaomiao said without hesitation.

The emperor's eyes lit up, and soon Lin Miaomiao said, "But it's not your son's queen, it's Jingxi's queen."

An Xishou kicked Lin Miaomiao over: "Bold!"

The emperor was so angry that his face turned purple, he kept coughing, and coughed up blood: "Put her... lock her up for me!"

It was night, Jingxi received a letter, and then left the palace alone.

Lin Miaomiao was woken up by the pain in her wrist. When she opened her eyes, she found that her hands were tied and hung above her head. There was a big rock under her feet, which was tied to her feet with an iron chain. The weight of her whole body rested on the rope on her wrist. Hanging, she tried to stand still, moved her sore feet, and suddenly heard a voice saying: "Don't make a fuss, be careful that the person opposite you is dead."

It is the voice of the emperor.

Lin Miaomiao looked towards the opposite side, and saw about ten meters away from her, Murong Jing was also hanging by his hands, standing on a rock like her, and the stone was also tied to his feet with iron chains.Under the stone, there is a very strange box.

She looked down at her feet, there was also a box.

The emperor said patiently: "There is a mechanism in the box. Once there is no heavy object to press it, the lid of the box will pop open by itself, and the ten poisonous arrows inside will shoot the person opposite into a hedgehog." The emperor said with a light smile.

Lin Miaomiao's scalp was numb, and she looked around, only to find that it was a large, shady stone room, with oil lamps on the walls, and the firelight cast the shadows of the three of them on the ground, like ghosts climbing up from purgatory, saying Unbelievably eerie.

She and Murong Jing are on a big gossip in the stone chamber, and they each occupy a hexagram eye. From the place where the emperor sits, to the big gossip needs to pass a small ten-meter cable bridge. Unfortunately, the bridge has been cut off Yes, there are several fierce crocodiles in the pool below.

It was already impossible to walk back there, so the only way to pull her there was through the rope on the wrist, but in this case, there would be a problem.As soon as she flies into the air, the box under her will open, and the poisonous arrow will shoot Murong Jing to death, otherwise, if Murong Jing is rescued first, she will be shot to death.Like saving at the same time, then two boxes are opened at the same time, and both of them will be shot to death.

"What a vicious trick." Lin Miaomiao murmured.

The emperor smiled with satisfaction: "You said that when Jingxi comes, who will you choose to save?"

Lin Miaomiao stared at him coldly.

The emperor showed a doting smile: "It's too late to regret it now, I will save you up here."

"What are you doing here? Help you deal with Jingxi?"

"It is to eliminate the chaotic party."

"So we still have to deal with Jingxi." Lin Miaomiao sneered, looked at him again and said, "Where's Murong Jing?"

The emperor spread his hands: "Then there is no way."

Lin Miaomiao looked away: "You are dreaming."

"Your Majesty, Prince Jing is here to see you." A young eunuch reported, the voice sounded strange, but at this time, the emperor was no longer here, and asked the little eunuch to let Jing Xi in.

Jing Xi glanced at Lin Miaomiao, who was tied up on the other side, and his eyes sank: "What is the emperor trying to do? What is the matter between men, what are you doing by involving women and innocent relatives?"

The emperor said meaningfully: "You finally can't pretend anymore."

"There's no need to pretend." Jing Xi said lightly.

"Really?" The emperor smiled.

Jing Xi said: "Stop talking nonsense, what exactly do you want?"

The emperor: "It's very simple. You choose to save your sweetheart and your brother, but I have to remind you that the price of saving one is to lose the life of the other. You have to be careful. Think carefully. In your heart, Who is more important?"

Jingxi's eyes scanned the box under the two of them: "Poison arrow?"

The emperor smiled and said, "That's right, no matter how fast you can hide."

Jingxi looked at the large pond more than ten meters away, and the emperor followed his gaze, and said calmly, "Don't think about it, you won't be able to get through." After a pause, he seemed to think of something, and said, " There seems to be a way to make the box fall, but the box is in the pool, you have to find it yourself, after you activate the mechanism, the pool will collapse together with the gossip table, the two of them are hanging by ropes, it’s okay, you will be miserable, You can't come up anymore.

If you can't come up, do you know what I will do?I will kill them both.

Do you want to take a gamble on whether you can make it? "

Jing Xi looked at him coldly: "Why do you insist on doing this?"

The emperor said: "Saving one sacrificed the other, you can't do it if you think about it, after all, you are not your father, then take a gamble, go to the agency, and deal with those things that I haven't fed for a long time, remember, speed It must be fast, it will only take a moment to collapse."

Lin Miaomiao's eyes were red with anger: "There are no less than ten crocodiles in the pool. After killing them, how can Jingxi have the strength to come up? You clearly did it on purpose! You are a lunatic!"

The emperor smiled irrefutably: "Make a decision, good nephew."

Jing Xi changed the subject: "Did you do it on purpose?"

The emperor thought for a while: "You mean that your mother concubine and I were captured by Beiliang assassins? Don't you already know the answer?"

Jing Xi said coldly: "I just ask why. My father respects you like a father, why do you plan on him like this? Don't you know how uncomfortable my father will be if something happens to my concubine? You know, but You just want to torture my royal father, you are jealous that you got the throne you dreamed of, but you are not as happy as a prince like him, and you are also jealous that you are only worthy of marrying a down-and-out lady who is "well-matched", but he has climbed to the top of the first family Qianjin. He and my mother and concubine are singing in harmony, but you don’t even have a person who speaks confidantly. Even the sons born, you add up to a dozen, are not as good as one of his! Jealousy is going crazy, emperor."

The emperor was stabbed in the sore foot, and his face became very ugly: "Yes, what you said is right, but so what? In the end, didn't I win? His beloved woman died! Soon, he most attracted The proud son is also going underground to report to Lord Yama! What can he do? Ah? What can he do, other than end his life in endless pain? Tell me!"

King Jing slowly walked out of the aisle, and looked incredulously at the emperor brother whom he had trusted for most of his life. Disappointment, grief, anger, and complex emotions intertwined into flames, and his eyes were reddened bit by bit: " I didn't expect it to be like this..."

The emperor opened his mouth wide: "Eighth brother..."

King Jing's tears of remorse and grief filled his eyes: "Qingluan told me that what happened that time was a bitter trick you set up. I don't believe it! I said it was the sixth brother who raised me, and he betrayed the whole world." , and it is absolutely impossible to betray me! She is the person I love the most, Sixth Brother! For you, I caused her to be pushed off the cliff, and the child disappeared...I killed her and my own flesh and blood. In order to keep you, it turns out they are all fake!

Xi'er got smallpox when she was five years old, no one made me doubt you, but I don't believe it!

I'm such a fool, a complete fool..."

The matter has come to this point, the emperor has no need to continue to pretend: "Originally, because of the love we grew up together, I wanted you to spend your old age peacefully, but if you insist on breaking through so many secrets, don't blame the sixth brother for being ruthless." Come on, someone, take them down for me! Those who disobey will be killed!"

A group of imperial guards rushed in.

King Jing rushed to the emperor madly, pushed him down, rode on him, and strangled his neck tightly: "You still don't know how to repent now, and you still want to hurt my son!"

As he said that, he punched the emperor in the face: "You killed Qingluan! You killed my daughter! You made Jing'er live among the people! You made Xi'er pretend to be crazy! You bastard! Why have I been lied to by you for so many years? Why haven't you seen your filth?"

Every time King Jing said a word, he would punch him. Although King Jing had lost his martial arts, the emperor's body was extremely weak.He looked at the Imperial Forest Army standing beside him, and scolded, "Why don't you come and rescue me soon?"

Jing Xi sneered: "Help me?" He gestured.

A Royal Forest Army turned and entered the passage, and dragged An Xishou, who was tied up and stuffed with cotton cloth, out.

"Drop it."

Jing Xi gave an order, and An Xishou was thrown into the crocodile pond.The crocodile went crazy, and quickly surrounded it. Soon, An Xishou's moaning sounded in the pool, but it didn't take long for the crocodile to be drowned out by the sound of gnawing bones.

The emperor couldn't believe that his own people were replaced by Jingxi without anyone noticing. No wonder it was not An Xishou who came to pass the news earlier, but the little eunuch Ersheng. He was immersed in the excitement of victory, completely This doubt was ignored.

A chill ran down his spine: "You... don't be complacent, Lin Miaomiao and your brother, you can only save one! There is no mechanism in the pool to stop the box! Even if it collapses, the poisonous arrow will still Will shoot!"

If Jingxi had really chosen to jump off the pond to find a mechanism, then the result of activating the mechanism would be that the three of them would be buried here together.

He smiled triumphantly: "No matter who you save, you will live in guilt for the rest of your life."

Jing Xi raised his eyebrows: "Really?" After walking a few steps, he grabbed Lin Miaomiao's rope.

The emperor was shocked: "You don't even want your own brother for a woman?"

Jingxi smiled playfully: "Brother? Are you sure?"

Lin Miaomiao raised her head slowly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember who I met on the way?"

The emperor's expression changed: "Pei Lang?"

Jing Xi threw a dagger with a wave of his hand, the dagger scratched the face of "Murong Jing", blood flowed out, and the human skin mask on his face fell off, who was it not Pei Lang who had those clear and handsome features?

The emperor was dumbfounded: "This...how is it possible?"

Jing Xi said arrogantly: "Your people are a step behind, this is possible."

After stabbing Pei Lang, the fire that Lin Miaomiao saw was Jingxi's. Jingxi found her before the emperor, and before finding her, he had already figured out the emperor's plan, even the stone chamber was investigated clearly. In order for King Jing to hear the emperor tell the truth, Li Daitao came up with this bitter trick.It is not an easy task to transform Pei Lang into Murong Jing, not to mention there is such an obvious wound on Pei Lang's neck, but with Lin Changan around, these are not problems.

Jing Xi curled his lips into a smile: "The poisonous arrow is Pei Lang's home. As for you, Uncle Huang, feed the crocodile you raise yourself."
