Chapter 119 The Dark Emperor's Seduction of the Oiran (48)
There was heavy snow in Beixiao Country today, and the snow was even knee-deep.
The cold wind is biting and chilly.
Inside the Regent's Palace.
Wei Yuanzhuo sat alone in the inner room, looking down at the chess game in front of him.
I don’t know how long I sat there, but my legs gradually became numb.
But his back was still straight, as if nothing or anyone in the world could bend his pride.
He directly took the jug of wine beside him, raised his chin slightly, and took a sip.
"It's really fierce..." The corners of his lips curled up slightly, but his expression was bitter.
It was so intense that his throat ached.
Suddenly, an unusual gust of wind blew by.
Wei Yuanzhuo frowned slightly and quickly drew the sword from his waist.
The secret guards who had been waiting in the dark immediately rushed out and formed a complete circle with him as the center.
With the sound of the door being forcefully broken open, the atmosphere became tense for a moment.
When I looked up, I saw a team of elite guards who had broken in at some point. They were all wearing helmets and armor, and their momentum should not be underestimated.
"How dare you trespass into the Regent's Palace!" Wei Yuanzhuo looked at them coldly, with the sword in his hand ready to strike.
The air was stagnant for a few seconds.
The next moment, two tall men walked out of the crowd and stood side by side.
The man on the left is taller and wears a dark-colored robe with dancing golden dragon carvings on it.
He was wearing a thick silver fox fur coat, his black hair was loose, and he wore a jade crown on his head, with a stern look on his face.
The person next to him was wearing a pure white fox fur coat, with silver hair falling like a waterfall, and he looked cool and extraordinary.
Both of them were covered in a little snow, but they did not look embarrassed.
Qin Ji looked around and quickly focused his attention on one of the masked men.
The secret guard was standing closest to Wei Yuanzhuo, so he must be very protective of him and must be his confidant.
There was also a conspicuous black mole on the hand holding the sword.
Noticing his gaze, the man belatedly covered his hands with a somewhat flustered expression.
"Regicide is a capital crime." Qin Ji's lips curled up into a cold-blooded smile, and the aura around him changed instantly.
Quan Si, who was standing next to him, felt it most clearly and couldn't help but glance at him sideways.
The usual gentleness was gone, only the ruthlessness and decisiveness of an emperor remained.
The imperial family is the most ruthless. This statement is indeed true.
"I didn't have any guards with me that day, which gave some people with ulterior motives the opportunity." Qin Ji sighed lightly.
It seems like he is feeling sorry for the lives that are about to be lost.
The next moment, he suddenly drew out the sword from his waist, and the secret guard standing on the outermost edge fell to the ground.
In just a few seconds, the head was separated.
Because the accident happened too quickly, he died with his eyes slightly wide open.
The enchanting blood dyed the floor of the Regent's Palace red, which looked shocking.
Quan Si's pupils shrank slightly, and then quickly returned to calm.
He has seen too many death scenes like this.
I don't feel scared or anything.
It's just that everyone has his own destiny. If you do bad things, someone will naturally come to take your life.
Karma is a cycle, good and evil will be rewarded, it has always been like this.
The head rolled on the ground several times and finally came to Wei Yuanzhuo's feet.
He looked down and frowned.
"Your Majesty, where is the substantive evidence that can prove my suspicion?"
Wei Yuanzhuo raised the corner of his lips, with a hint of sarcasm.
"Oh?" Qin Ji raised his eyebrows, and then winked at a guard behind him.
The latter immediately understood and took something out of his arms.
Wei Yuanzhuo was a little disdainful, but when his eyes fell on that thing, the corners of his mouth suddenly froze.
"How do I explain what my men found in the prince's mansion?" the man sneered.
Everyone looked over at once.
I saw that it was a jade pendant, covered in dirt, and it was obviously very old.
But if you look closely, you can find something unusual - the four corners of the jade pendant are stained with something black and red.
It looks very much like the precipitate formed after blood coagulation.
In addition, there are some strange talisman papers next to it, which are covered with strange spells.
"After my father passed away, I have always wondered where the jade pendant went." Qin Ji took the jade pendant and shook it in his hand.
Wei Yuanzhuo gritted his teeth and said, "What can you tell from just one jade pendant?"
"The jade pendant alone is indeed not enough to constitute evidence." Quan Si spoke suddenly, his voice as calm as water, as calm as ever.
He took the talisman paper, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, showing a stunning arc, "But this talisman is very interesting."
Others might not understand, but he is different.
He had come across these runes by chance in his previous world.
Many people, after doing something wrong, are afraid that ghosts will come to claim their lives, and they live in fear every day.
In order to seek psychological comfort, people would seek help from some old Taoist priests, and at this time they would use talisman paper.
"Dear brother, please forgive me. Ambition and strategy are what I pursue in my life..."
Quan Si lowered his eyes and gently read out the meaning of the transformation of the opening rune.
Wei Yuanzhuo didn't expect that Quan Si actually knew all this. He had calculated everything, but he still missed something.
The look in Qin Ji's eyes when he looked at Quan Si was filled with not only admiration but also love.
If the atmosphere had not allowed it, he would probably have pulled the girl into his arms and kissed her for a while.
As Quan Si finished speaking, the truth of that year also came to light.
"Brother-killing is unforgivable. Regicide is an even more serious crime."
Qin Ji's tone was extremely cold, and he pronounced Wei Yuanzhuo's fate word by word.
"Prince Regent, you are so evil and wicked that you deserve to die by suicide!"
A cup of poisoned wine was placed in front of him, and Wei Yuanzhuo was a little dazed.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never made a mistake.
Now, it’s completely ruined.
The secret guard with the mole on his hand fell to his knees and kowtowed several times.
He didn't stop until his forehead was bleeding. "Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with the prince. It was all my idea!"
"No need to plead for me." Wei Yuanzhuo chuckled, which seemed a little abrupt.
He took the poisoned wine and poured a glass on his own initiative.
It is said that people will have a premonition before death. No wonder he always feels uneasy today.
Several years of strategies and ambitions have been completely destroyed today.
He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
"Uncle, have a safe journey to the underworld." Qin Ji glanced at him and then looked away.
Wei Yuanzhuo glanced around and looked at everyone.
Finally, his sights fell on the silver-haired man.
Wei Yuanzhuo lowered his eyes to look at the poisoned wine in his hand, made up his mind, and finally raised his head to drink it all.
The next moment, he took the initiative to push away the secret guards around him and walked towards Quan Si.
Qin Ji frowned and took the initiative to stand in front of the person next to him.
Wei Yuanzhuo's eyes were bright, and he smiled, "I wonder if my death can stir up any ripples in the heart of the State Master?"
Quan Si frowned slightly and took two steps back.
