Chapter 126 : Assassinating the King
On the other side,
In the depths of the Imperial Palace, within the Hall of Mental Cultivation,
The emperor on the dragon couch suddenly opened his eyes, his turbid pupils reflecting the flickering candlelight.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
An unknown wind suddenly blew, and the candle flames in the great hall swayed with the wind.
Е ńumà . іd̆
The flames leaped, as if they were there and not there.
Gradually, one was extinguished, then two, three, four...

In just a few breaths, all the candles were extinguished.
In the darkness, Xiao Yu slowly raised his head, his brows tightly furrowed.
Little by little, his calm face began to turn manic and ferocious.
Visibly, his black hair began to turn gray from the roots, and his face seemed to gradually become more gaunt.

'What's going on?!'
Xiao Yu felt his body as heavy as if it were filled with lead, even lifting a finger felt laborious.
He shot up, found a brocade box in a cabinet behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and walked out quickly.
In the Hall of Nurturing the Heart,

Xiao Yu sat in his seat, quietly looking at the medicinal pill in the brocade box, seemingly hesitant.
The brocade box opened, and a crystal-clear pill lay quietly in the middle, the fragrance of green bamboo rushing to his face.

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that the smell seemed a little fainter.
'Something's wrong.'
'Something must have happened to the Crown Prince!'
'The National Preceptor died too early!'
When he had cursed the Crown Prince, the National Preceptor had been seriously ill for a month, his magical power growing weaker.
Xiao Yu had tried to sound him out, asking if the National Preceptor could cast a second curse for him, but the National Preceptor always dodged the question, beating around the bush with him.

That's why he had simply given up on this person, but he hadn't expected a problem to arise now.
The pill in his hand was given to him by Ming Chen. He wouldn't fully trust Ming Chen, so he hadn't taken it.
He was prepared to take this medicine only when he had no other way out.
Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, then finally picked up the medicine and put it in his mouth.
His life was already short. Now that something had gone wrong, he was afraid he wouldn't last until he got the elixir of immortality.
In an instant, the fragrance spread in his mouth, and a little strength emerged from his heart, flowing to his limbs.

Xiao Yu's complexion also became a little ruddier.
This pill even had a wine flavor.

'Fortunately... Ming Chen didn't lie to him.'
"Is there any news from Li Shuang?"
A guard walked in briskly. Before the other party could speak, Xiao Yu leaned forward and asked anxiously.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is seriously ill. His hair has turned completely white, and the five signs of heavenly decay are all showing. He is bedridden, his life is in danger, and medicine is useless."

Xiao Yu's pupils suddenly dilated upon hearing this.
Although he had his suspicions, when the news reached his ears, he was still greatly shaken.
The monarch, who was usually expressionless and good at disguising himself, was now stunned on the spot, his thoughts racing.
Anxiety and helplessness seemed to be written all over his face.

'How could this be?'
'The National Preceptor had calculated that the Crown Prince could live for at least another three years.'

'How could it be so fast?'
'If the Crown Prince dies at this time, what will he do?'
'The process of making the elixir of immortality must be accelerated!'
'Dying so suddenly, who else can he find to handle political affairs? Ming Chen? Xiao Xinyue? Or Dong Zhenghong?'
In a short period of time, all kinds of thoughts swirled in Xiao Yu's mind.
After a long silence, he stood up and said, "Immediately prepare the carriage for the Eastern Palace!"

No matter what, he had to go to the Crown Prince's residence to see what was going on!
The guard below's eyes flashed upon hearing this. "Yes!"
...
The weather was bad today. There was no sun in the sky, the clouds were dark, the wind was strong, and it was drizzling.
Xiao Yu usually stayed in the palace and rarely left. He actually quite liked this kind of weather; it was very comfortable for resting.
But once he went out, it was different.

The gloomy sky was like his mood at this moment.
The dragon carriage traveled at the fastest speed on the deserted official road. This was a sudden trip for Xiao Yu, without much fanfare.

Xiao Yu sat in the dragon carriage, his face uncertain.
He didn't know if it was because of the rain or his imagination, but he always felt a little uneasy.
He thought about and summarized everything that had happened today in his mind. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
The Crown Prince's residence was very close to the palace, and they arrived quickly.
Ẇ ẽ b̀ n̆о v_еl̀ Еn uṁа̄
The dragon carriage stopped at the entrance of the Crown Prince's residence. The guards were arranged on both sides, holding umbrellas, wanting to welcome the emperor.
Just at this moment,
A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, and a flash of light illuminated a few faces hiding in the shadows.
The curtain was slowly drawn open by a guard.

"Boom, boom, boom!"
The sound of thunder was deafening. The lightning split the clouds, like the Heavenly Duke brandishing his sword and striking down on the mortal world.

Xiao Yu, however, seemed to have sensed something, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
He had always been deep in his schemes and extremely good at controlling his expression. But at this moment, his face collapsed, and he couldn't help but shrink back, his face full of panic.
"No... I'm not going!"
"Back to the palace!"
The ominous premonition grew stronger. He didn't want to stay here any longer.
'If the Crown Prince is dead, he's dead. We'll discuss what to do next later.'

It was just...
The guard did not lower the curtain and obey the imperial edict.
His eyes flashed, and he suddenly erupted, his body shooting forward, the sleeve sword in his hand accurately stabbing towards Xiao Yu's heart.
All of this happened too quickly. The other guards didn't react at all.
Xiao Yu was not Qin Lou. He was just an old emperor who had lived in luxury. He had been cooped up in dark places for years. Let alone being proficient in martial arts, he was even somewhat sub-healthy.
How could he be a match for a well-trained guard?
Е́ n̂u m.â
"Puchi!"
The sound of a sword tip entering flesh was heard.

Xiao Yu's eyes widened as he looked in disbelief at the calm-faced guard before him.
He looked down in a daze. His hand was tightly gripping another wrist. At some point, a poisoned sleeve sword had pierced the five-clawed golden dragon, right in the center of the dragon's eye.
The short sword had already pierced his heart, and blood was gushing out uncontrollably.
A human king was also a human. When injured, he would bleed and would also die.

'What was this feeling?'
Xiao Yu had never had such a feeling before.
Intense pain struck, blood gushed out, dyeing his dragon robe. His life force dissipated bit by bit, and the world before his eyes grew increasingly hazy.
He swayed, struggling, his eyes fixed on the person before him, with a hint of pleading.

At this moment, he was not a noble emperor of a dynasty, but just an ordinary old man struggling to survive.
"Swish!"
Ė n ům а
At the same time,
The sound of arrows breaking through the air came from outside the dragon carriage. Before the few guards could protect the emperor, they grunted and fell to the ground.
"You..."
Xiao Yu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a complete sentence. A few tears squeezed out from the corners of his wrinkled eyes.
The guard's hand in front of him was very steady.
To do such a thing as assassinating the king, he could still maintain a calm expression.

'How could this be?'
'How could this be?'
'Wasn't I'm the immortal king, the ruler of the eternal dynasty?'
Time seemed to stand still in the last few seconds.
Xiao Yu's brain was spinning rapidly. He seemed a little unwilling to believe what was happening before his eyes.
'This must be a dream!'
W е̇ b̌n ȯ v́ е l̀ Ё n̄ um à
'When I woke up from the dream, everything would be back to normal!'
'Ming Chen had told me that he was born with the mandate of heaven, destined to establish an incorruptible dynasty.'

'A human king who does not die... is a god!'
'Why... why...'
'Ming Chen! You lied to me!!!'
The young face that had spoken so eloquently in the great hall appeared before his eyes, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but roar in his heart.
Е̇n̄ ŭ m̃ а
His life force gradually dissipated, and his consciousness gradually faded.
'It's a dream! It's a dream!'
'After a sleep, I would wake up in that magnificent palace.'
Thinking like this, the old dragon who had brought disaster to the country slowly closed his eyes.

The person who had sought longevity his whole life finally met his end at the door of his son, whose lifespan he had been absorbing for half his life.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
W е̃ b́n̈ō v̇e l Е n̈um а̄
The moment Xiao Yu closed his eyes, the world seemed to change.
The sky was gloomy and impenetrable. Countless bolts of lightning flashed, and thunder roared.
The drizzle suddenly turned into a downpour, pouring down.
The ministers and common people in the prosperous city of Yueyang did not know that a world-changing event had just occurred on this thundering, rainy day.
In front of the Crown Prince's residence, the dragon carriage was parked quietly.
The corpses, pierced with crossbow bolts and their life extinguished, also lay there quietly.

Blood mixed with the rainwater, and the vermilion bloodline fell into the cracks of the stone bricks, disappearing bit by bit.
Before long, a few figures slowly walked out of the Crown Prince's residence.
In front of the main gate, the continuous rain fell on the oil-paper umbrellas, making a series of fine sounds.
Under the umbrella, the Crown Prince wore a thick fur coat, his face bloodless, as pale as paper. His posture was swaying, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
"Your Highness, be careful..."
Beside him, the woman who had accompanied him for more than ten years held an umbrella and carefully supported him.

Her expression was a little complicated, with both panic and worry.
The dragon carriage was parked at the door, and the person who should be dead was dead.

She knew very well what her husband had done today.
She also knew very well what she had done.
The feeling of forcibly breaking the curse was not good. Xiao Zhengyang felt as if all the blood in his body had been drained. It hurt everywhere, his consciousness was hazy, and he could barely stand.
But in this pouring rain, he still struggled to go out.
Wéb ñ ȯvеl̆ Е̇ňu m̌ä
There were some things he had to confirm personally to be at ease.
"Xiao San, you've worked hard."
He nodded slightly at the guard who had assassinated the emperor.
That person lowered his head with a respectful face. "This subject is willing to share Your Highness's worries."

The curtain of the dragon carriage was slowly lifted. The lifeless monarch was leaning against the chair, his eyes tightly closed.
The most noble person in this country had died so simply.
Е n ůma.іd
Xiao Zhengyang's body swayed as he looked at this scene.
He had planned this matter for a long time, and he had imagined the outcome many times.
But when it really happened, he still couldn't control his emotions.
"Father Emperor... why did it have to come to this?"
He was the victor, but he hadn't won anything.
The strong wind blew his clothes, and he looked at his father, murmuring softly.

He didn't know if what he had done was right or wrong, but he had no choice.
'Let future generations judge the rights and wrongs...'
"Boom, boom, boom~"
Thunder continued to rumble in the sky. Everyone present was an ordinary person, but they could also feel something unusual.
It seemed as if something had shattered, and the world seemed to have changed a little.
Xiao Zhengyang raised his head and looked in another direction. "Ming Chen... I have already come this far. I hope you will not fail my trust..."
Ѐ n̊ uṁ а̊
Now that things had come to this, the world had changed, and he could no longer turn back.
