Whatever she owed or owed, she would repay them one by one! She wanted to repay the debt of blood with blood! • New wedding night. " Take off your clothes. " This voice was very familiar to her. It was the voice of her greatest nemesis in the imperial court, Prince Yu! " She actually has the nerve to send someone like him over, hmph!

CHAPTER 201 - BUT HE LIKED IT A LOT

Yun Tianhong's face was sullen as he cut his fingertip. Seeing the dark red blood fall into the bowl, he couldn't help but feel a little obscure in his eyes.

Yun Qingrao didn't know what he was thinking, nor did she want to know.

Yun Tianhong threw his dagger to the side. Immediately, someone came forward to help him bandage it, while he sat on the Dragon Throne like a needlepoint.

Yun Qingrao took in all of his emotions and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Yun Luocheng also put the drop of blood in the water. Everyone silently looked at the bowl of water, not daring to take another breath.

However, Yun Qingrao didn't even look at it. She wasn't the least bit curious about the movements in the bowl of water.

Because she knew that from the moment Yun Tianhong compromised, it was Yun Luocheng's victory.

The result was obvious. The crowd of officials were shocked. They looked at Yun Tianhong in disbelief. Yun Tianhong sat on the seat with his fists clenched tightly and a knot was about to form between his eyebrows.

Heaven Decimating Tianchong, this … How could it be like this!

With a dark expression, he suddenly slapped the table and sneered lightly: How ridiculous, after rising to the throne for so many years, with just this handwritten letter and a bowl of water, you want to snatch my throne? You are trying to force my hand!

Yun Qingrao laughed inwardly when she heard the words driving the palace to revolt.

Yun Tianhong finally understood the real intention of these people; they were trying to force his hand!

Yun Luocheng saw that Yun Tianhong's words had hit the nail on the head. He revealed a slight sneer as he walked forward. Even though he was standing below, his momentum didn't weaken in the slightest.

Yun Tianhong, you should be clear about your identity. Even if you become the Emperor now, you still don't have the royal bloodline. How can a person like you be convinced by the masses?

You were able to convince the masses when you rebelled back then. It seems like you want to do it again!

Yun Tianhong sent the message back as he was unwilling to be outdone. The atmosphere between the two of them had reached the point where it could be stirred up at any time.

At this moment, Gong Liuyu had already walked to Yun Qingrao's side. He stretched out his hand from behind and grabbed her wrist.

Yao, let's stand far away!

Yun Qingrao nodded and followed Gong Liuyu to a corner of the hall to watch the show.

Seeing that Gong Liuyu did not interfere, a dark light flashed in Yun Luocheng's eyes. He walked step by step to a spot not far away from Yun Tianhong and stood with his hands behind his back, Liu Tie, issue the decree, don't let me waste any more time!

Yun Tianhong glanced at the faces of those ministers, many of them avoiding his gaze.

Needless to say, they were already on Yun Luocheng's side.

Yun Luocheng had obviously come prepared.

He slightly lowered his eyes as a somewhat familiar scene flashed across his eyes.

It was the same scene back then. He, Royal Father, was surrounded by Imperial Guard, who was brought by Yun Luocheng, and was about to set fire to the palace.

And he just so happened to be in the same hall as the late emperor at that time.

The thick smoke caused him to be unable to open his eyes, causing him to cry in Royal Father's arms out of fear. It was also because of that that Royal Father got closer and closer to him.

The situation was desperate, almost to the point of burning him to death.

However, just as he was about to lose consciousness, Yun Qingrao's voice suddenly came from outside, sounding like a heavenly music to his ears.

It wasn't easy for him to save Yun Luocheng. Yun Luocheng's crime of rebellion was proven. He was executed by a decree of Royal Father, and in an instant, he became the favorite of the Emperor.

He was grateful before, but Shen Ruxue told him later that the reason he was nearly burnt to death was entirely because of Yun Qingrao's intentional intention to let him become someone close to the Emperor.

Thinking about it this way, it was indeed as Shen Ruxue had said. He, who had survived a great disaster, finally had the chance to obtain the Imperial edict and ascend to the throne.

He frowned slightly, but he didn't know why he would think of Yun Qingrao at such a time. Yun Qingrao was already dead, and she would never be able to come back.

There was no such thing as medicine for regret in this world. He suddenly realized that in the past when he was in danger, there seemed to be a person standing by his side to help.

If Yun Qingrao was still here, she would definitely have a way to resolve this crisis.

Lowering his eyes, Yun Tianhong slightly sneered, Yun Luocheng, back then when you tried to force the palace to rebel, everyone knew about it. Now you have come up with such a casual excuse to usurp the throne, you really deserve to be killed!

Yun Luocheng was silent. He said lightly, Yun Tianhong, I don't have that much patience to give you time. Now, get off that chair and get off by yourself!

As they spoke, a series of orderly sounds could be heard from outside the door. Many archers had already drawn their bows and nocked their arrows, turning their gazes towards the throne room.

When the ministers saw Yun Luocheng suddenly make such a big deal and then saw Patriarch Shen walk in step by step, all of them lost their temper.

Shen Family covering the sky with one hand was truly too long, and this was all Yun Tianhong's own fault.

Shen Hao!

Seeing Shen Hao appear, the killing intent in Yun Tianhong's eyes became even stronger, Shen Hao, are you submitting to Former Crown Prince?

Shen Hao raised his head, his tone neither servile nor overbearing, as if he did not put Yun Tianhong in his eyes at all. The Emperor killed Xue'er, this Patriarch is here to seek justice for his daughter!

Shen Ruxue didn't die, she just went missing. Patriarch Shen should understand this!

In his heart, Shen Ruxue was of no importance to him. If not for the fact that she had become the empress in the palace, her Shen Family would not have circled around her at all.

Your majesty, no matter if she's missing or dead, the result is the same. Since you crippled Xue'er's successor, there's no difference between forcing her to her death and forcing her to do so. Now, as my father, even if I have to risk my life, I must avenge my daughter!

Rebellion must have an excuse to speak righteously, and this is Patriarch Shen's name.

Yun Tianhong's men barely occupied a corner of the hall. Compared to the group of soldiers outside, they were not even worth looking at.

Gong Liuyu and Yun Qingrao sat on the side with no intention of interfering in their fight.

When she saw Yun Tianhong's face turn red and green, his fingers trembling as he was forced to take out the imperial edict and the Imperial Jade Seal, she was no longer touched.

She was already dead. The current her was only here for revenge.

Yun Tianhong was also the one who indirectly killed his sister, she definitely wouldn't let him go.

Yun Tianhong's finger, which was holding the pen, trembled slightly. However, the tip of the pen couldn't fall off no matter what.

Yun Luocheng, even if I die, this throne will not be given to you!

He suddenly struggled free from the two people restraining him, searching everywhere for the figure of the Dark Guard, but didn't see anything.

The Dark Guard that had been protecting him all year round, had already mysteriously disappeared.

When he saw the faint confident smile on Yun Luocheng's lips, he suddenly understood everything. He suddenly laughed out loud and smashed the pen on the ground.

Yun Qingrao frowned slightly when she saw how crazy he looked.

All of you are forcing me. Don't tell me that I haven't treated you well enough, or do you think that you're underestimating me now that Grand Princess has died?

Hearing Yun Tianhong mention her, Yun Qingrao looked up in surprise.

He leaned against the chair behind him and retreated step by step. The robe he wore was messy.

I have misjudged you and wrongly believed you, but I can't believe that I would end up like this! Hahaha!

The laughter was forlorn, but no one spoke.

Only Patriarch Shen sneered and expressed his attitude, Yun Tianhong, you are still in your weaker years today. Do you think you can suppress the officials and officials? Do you know what Grand Princess relied on to suppress them to pay homage to you? Alright, you don't know!"

Yun Qingrao's heart tightened slightly, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say anything.

That's right, he didn't know anything. When she went all out to do those things, Yun Tianhong was even enjoying the joy of being someone above all else.

Yun Tianhong was slightly stunned: She is just a woman, what can she do?

Patriarch Shen looked at Yun Tianhong's crazy appearance and slightly raised the corner of his mouth: You really don't know, she didn't tell you anything. It's no wonder she was killed by her brother when she raised you into such a state!

When these words left his mouth, it was as if his shocking words had stunned all the ministers present.

Even Yun Luocheng frowned. He could not help but set his gaze on Yun Tianhong. Yun Qingrao's death was your doing?

Yun Tianhong knew that it didn't matter whether he admitted it or not. He immediately laughed: All of you listen to her, all of you listen to her. Don't tell me this Emperor of Tianchong is her?

Yun Qingrao, who was sitting in the corner, slightly shook her head when she heard Yun Tianhong's excited words.

She could hear a strong sense of jealousy within his words, which made her suddenly clear her mind.

Seeing her complex expression, Gong Liuyu slightly grabbed her hand, Don't think too much about it, it's all his fault!

Sometimes, there was only one thing that mattered. If he were to think back on everything, it would be completely different.

If his heart was good, he would be grateful to Yun Qingrao.

If his heart was in the dark, no matter what Yun Qingrao did, Yun Tianhong would still see it as a purpose.

Therefore, it wasn't Yun Qingrao's fault.

Hearing Gong Liuyu's comforting words, Yun Qingrao gently rolled her eyes. I didn't think too much about it. I'm just a little curious about who taught him to be like this!

Isn't it you?

Gong Liuyu instantly took over her words, causing Yun Qingrao to choke on her words.

Gong Liuyu …

She lowered her voice and ground her teeth in his ear, as if the tension around them would never infect them.

He and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. If you say something like that again, I'll …

Gong Liuyu looked at her with a bit of curiosity.

Yun Qingrao really liked to use this kind of tone to threaten him, but … He did like it.

CHAPTER 202 - I SAW HER DIE WITH MY OWN EYES

Yun Qingrao stretched out her hand and squeezed his arm.

A proud look flashed across her eyes. Although she knew that Gong Liuyu definitely didn't hurt, she still felt comfortable.

Seeing her expression, Gong Liuyu pretended to frown in pain, as if he was in great pain.

Alright, This King will tell you what you like!

Gong Liuyu lowered his voice and turned his head slightly. Although there was no expression on his face, Yun Qingrao could still see the smile on his face.

However, no one else had the time to pay attention to them. Everyone's eyes were already on Yun Tianhong.

It was indeed the first time someone who had been the emperor for several years had been forced to abdicate.

However, what Yun Tianhong didn't know was that without Yun Qingrao's secret restraint, how could those old officials, who already had ambitions, submit to a teenage kid?

When he ascended the throne, Yun Tianhong was only 16 or 17 years old. Even though the late emperor had died, the empress dowager and a group of envious imperial concubines were still within the imperial harem.

Yun Qingrao had been the one to settle all the conflicts in the beginning.

He, who was protected in a flowerbed, had never seen the dark side of things.

At this time, Yun Tianhong had been forced to retreat. He said coldly, This is my family's matter, you have no right to judge me!

How could Yun Qingrao not know that Patriarch Shen did not have any good intentions when he mentioned her and did not want to seek justice for her.

He was just telling everyone that Yun Tianhong was an ungrateful and merciless ingrate. Such a person wasn't suitable for becoming an emperor.

Not only would this win over the hearts of the people, it would also allow those ministers who were still hesitating to see his true appearance.

What a good method.

Yun Qingrao judged in secret but did not interfere since the beginning. She wanted to see if Yun Tianhong still knew what was wrong.

In the past, she could forgo pursuing the matters she had done for him. She only wanted to ask if he had the slightest bit of conscience. If she wasn't here, he would have died a long time ago.

When she closed her eyes, those difficult times from back then were like a deep imprint that was carved into her memories. The moment she touched them, she couldn't help but feel her heart tremble.

Shen Hao coldly snorted: Family? The imperial family's matter is the matter of the entire Tianchong nation's people. The death of Grand Princess by the Emperor really makes one's heart tremble!

At this moment, Yun Tianhong's eyes were bloodshot. He stared fiercely at Patriarch Shen's face and Yun Luocheng, who was standing not far away indifferently.

It's Shen Ruxue, she's the one who did all of this, your Shen Family has definitely contributed greatly in this matter!

Many people's gazes unknowingly swept over Patriarch Shen. Patriarch Shen's face stiffened and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Your majesty, that child Xue'er has already gone missing. The truth is still not in your hands?

Patriarch Shen's words made everyone doubt him. They all believed that Yun Tianhong was secretly dealing with Shen Ruxue and wanted to silence her.

Yun Qingrao had never expected that such a simple rebellion would rise to such a level. Everyone seemed very interested in her death. If you were to say that the one who had the most say here was her, it would be her.

Although Shen Ruxue was the culprit behind her death, the culprit was really Yun Tianhong. If it weren't for Yun Tianhong's signal, Shen Ruxue wouldn't have dared to touch a single hair on Shen Ruxue's head, even if she had ten guts.

She lowered her eyes slightly. Her heart had already been hurt by someone once. No matter how miserable Yun Tianhong was, he would not touch her this time.

Just when she wanted to ask Gong Liuyu when he would leave, she saw Gong Liuyu reach out his hand to press on her shoulder and then make a gesture of silence.

Yun Qingrao followed his gaze and saw Yun Tianhong standing beside the Dragon Throne. She laughed coldly and said, I have never done anything to silence you. I will not write about this even if it means my death. If you want to be the gang that assassinated the King, then do as you wish!

Now without the Dark Guard's protection, the Imperial Guards in Yun Tianhong's hands were out of control. For a moment, Yun Tianhong was truly alone.

Yun Qingrao frowned slightly. Upon seeing the resolute look in his eyes, she seemed to be filled with deep hatred.

Her heart slightly trembled, as she vaguely had a bad premonition.

Gong Liuyu, it's going to be dangerous later, let's run first!

Hmm?

Gong Liuyu looked at Yun Qingrao with a puzzled expression. However, he saw the grave expression on Yun Qingrao's face.

Although I don't know what happened that caused him to become like this, I can still guess at some of his thoughts. I'm afraid …

Before she could finish, Yun Tianhong opened his mouth, Hehe, don't think that I have no preparations today.

Yun Qingrao slightly frowned. Indeed, it was just as she had expected.

She looked up and saw Yun Tianhong suddenly walk to the side and took out a token.

Yun Qingrao also recognized the order badge, she was the one who left behind to order the Dark Guard around.

Gong Liuyu, are you sure Yun Tianhong's Dark Guard have been captured?

Gong Liuyu lowered his gaze and nodded: Sure!

After the list of names Yun Qingrao gave him that day, there was also information about the Dark Guard s. With these weaknesses, it was easy to take them down, and it did not waste too much energy.

Yun Qingrao naturally trusted Gong Liuyu's efficiency, but she still felt something was wrong.

She suddenly grabbed Gong Liuyu's hand, Why don't we go first? This is none of my business!

Gong Liuyu stood up and nodded. Ok!

While speaking, he had already pulled Yun Qingrao out of the hall. However, Yun Tianhong's voice came faintly, Today, all of us are here. If anyone dares to take a step out of the palace, I will directly blow this place to the ground!

Yun Qingrao's heart quivered and her pupils contracted slightly.

She pursed her lips and looked up at Yun Tianhong, who was standing on the stage. Although he had the token in his hand, it was clear that he was giving orders to the person hiding in the dark.

Although Yun Qingrao knew a lot, it was hard to ensure that when Yun Tianhong was on her guard for such a long time, he didn't prepare in advance to form his own confidant.

She stood still, turned her head to Gong Liuyu and shook her head, You know, there is really explosives in this palace.

Gong Liuyu frowned slightly: You're not afraid. When did you accidentally blow yourself up?

Seeing that he was still teasing at this time, Yun Qingrao immediately got angry, No kidding, this explosive was here a long time ago. Although I repaired the foundation above, I was the only one who knew about it before. I don't know how Yun Tianhong found out!

He probably doesn't know!

Yun Qingrao frowned slightly as a hint of understanding flashed across her eyes. This should have been prepared by Yun Tianhong himself.

But he did not know how dangerous his words were. If the throne room exploded, then all the explosives buried under the ground might be ignited.

At that time, everyone would have to go and meet the King of Hell together.

However, when Yun Qingrao thought about it again, she felt that it was actually quite fun. She had thought about it when she was just a newborn. At that time, she really wanted to take revenge and run to the royal palace to destroy everything.

But now it was different. She was no longer the carefree person from before. After finally finding someone she truly cared about, she really didn't want to die.

Sometimes, people's thoughts would change so easily. Previously, she didn't really care about death at all. She felt that as long as she took revenge, her life and the lives of others wouldn't matter at all.

Once he had something he cared about and a goal he wanted to accomplish, he would completely change his mind.

Then what should we do now? He's not joking!

Yun Qingrao raised her head and innocently blinked her eyes.

Gong Liuyu saw that although she looked to be in a panic, she didn't seem to be scared at all. He only felt his heart skip a beat.

You have obviously come up with a solution. Why are you asking This King?

Yun Qingrao looked around at the stunned crowd. Having made up her mind, she suddenly walked towards Yun Tianhong's position from the door.

Yun Luocheng brushed past her, but she didn't even look at Yun Luocheng, as if they really didn't know each other.

Yun Luocheng's eyes flashed and began to have a whole new level of respect for Yun Qingrao.

Your majesty, Grand Princess's death has nothing to do with you?

Yun Tianhong saw that it was her. Furthermore, her question was so extreme that he didn't want to answer it. His gaze turned dark and cold: Does it have anything to do with me? Is it that important?

Since you don't answer, then the emperor will acquiesce. But do you know how you obtained this title of emperor?

Yun Tianhong's face revealed a hint of impatience, as if he didn't want to hear anything about Yun Qingrao at all.

I don't want to hear about her from you. Besides, she's already dead!

Hearing that, Yun Qingrao suddenly laughed, Is he dead? What if he doesn't die?"

When she said that, Yun Tianhong's hand that was holding the token trembled a little. His eyes were wide open and filled with disbelief.

He didn't die? Impossible, I saw her with my own eyes …

Yun Tianhong went silent when he saw Yun Qingrao raise her head and look over.

Because of the thrill from earlier, in addition to the bullying from the officials, his mind was already in chaos. He could not understand the hidden meaning behind Yun Qingrao's words.

Yun Qingrao pursed her lips, but there was no trace of happiness in her eyes. You'll only be at ease if you see her dead with your own eyes. Right? Just because you're afraid that Yun Qingrao won't let you ascend to the throne after knowing your background, right?

After exposing all of his sinister thoughts in front of everyone, Yun Tianhong felt his face burning, but he looked pale.

CHAPTER 203 - ARE YOU HUMAN

With just a few short sentences, Yun Tianhong had already revealed the truth that he knew.

Of course, this also meant that he was one of them.

Yun Qingrao closed her eyes as she felt a sharp pain in her eye sockets. A chill that seemed to carry a sharp blade pierced her heart.

He felt a sharp pain in his heart.

So she thought she didn't care anymore, but she just realized that it wasn't the case when she arrived. She was still having a beautiful dream and hoped that Yun Tianhong really didn't know that Yun Tianhong didn't participate in this matter.

However, those were all her beautiful thoughts. In reality, all her guesses were true. He had watched her death and Xin'er's death from the side.

What kind of strong heart did she have? When she saw her sister being bullied to death, she could still remain indifferent. In the end, she did not even reveal it.

She seemed to be able to recall the scene of Xin'er's small body being submerged in the darkness of the secret room, as well as the smell of blood that permeated her chest.

Yun Tianhong, are you human?

Yun Tianhong couldn't help but squint his eyes as she said, What exactly do you want to say? I don't have the time to talk to you!

Hmph, since you've seen everything, how could you remain indifferent? Watching Shen Ruxue kill your sisters and even tear them to shreds, don't you have any feelings for her at all?

How did you get here?

Yun Tianhong's heart chilled slightly upon hearing Yun Qingrao's words. Doubt filled his eyes.

Yun Qingrao chuckled. Of course, someone told me!

Shen Ruxue?

Yun Tianhong instantly cast his suspicion on Shen Ruxue. Yun Qingrao snickered and helped Shen Ruxue burn more incense for Shen Ruxue.

She was the one who came to take the blame, and she was never tired of listening to it.

No matter who it is, based on the Emperor's reaction, these should all be true, right?

Yun Tianhong was silent for a moment and then sneered: So what if it is true?

Seeing Yun Tianhong's appearance, she had completely given up hope. She had hoped that she brought this person over from a young age and still had some conscience, but she didn't expect such a result.

Yun Tianhong's performance really sent chills down her spine.

I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person!

Yun Qingrao's tone carried a bit of a sigh, and the surrounding officials' eyes were filled with fear. Even if Yun Tianhong relied on these to get past this hurdle today, he would probably lose all of his prestige in the future.

If he couldn't get the hearts of the people of the emperor, sooner or later, he would become a speck of dust. Even without Yun Luocheng's interference, Yun Tianhong would still seek his own death.

All of this is Yun Qingrao's fault. She made me fall to where I am today …

Yun Qingrao interrupted Yun Tianhong impatiently. She had completely lost her patience to persuade him. Don't push the blame onto others. I just want to ask you, with your current status and identity, who gave it to you?

Yun Tianhong didn't answer the question.

Yun Qingrao knew he would do this. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he wouldn't dare to say that he did it himself.

What does all this have to do with you? You traitors, I will not let any of you go today. Men! Arrest them all!

He shouted loudly, but no one came in. Other than the dozens of personal guards that he had left behind, the rest were all Gong Liuyu's and Yun Luocheng's men.

The dozens of personal guards immediately took action, wanting to take Yun Luocheng down. Yun Luocheng's men drew their swords, as if they were going to fight at any moment.

Who dares to make a move, this is the place where you will be buried. There are already a lot of explosives buried here. As long as I give the order, you all will be smashed to pieces!

His gaze was filled with madness and seriousness, as if he wasn't joking.

Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot! Your Majesty, if you really do this, then your Tianchong will be completely destroyed!

Yun Luocheng stood below and watched the crazy Yun Tianhong coldly.

He stood in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back and did not show any signs of panic.

It was as if even if Yun Tianhong really blew up his palace and everyone died together, he wouldn't care at all: I've already had enough days of hiding, can it be that you're willing to give up this throne in your hands and turn it into nothing?

When Yun Tianhong heard Yun Luocheng's words, there was a bit of calmness in his eyes. He firmly gripped the command medallion in his hand and said, But even if I don't do this today, you will still force me. If you want me to really withdraw from the throne, then why don't all of you die together and get it over with?

Yun Qingrao narrowed her eyes and looked at Yun Tianhong as if she was looking at a stranger.

Yun Tianhong, you can't do anything by doing this. Even if everyone dies, so what? In the end, you still gave it to an outsider for free!

It goes without saying that the outsider Yun Qingrao was referring to was someone that was eyeing Tianchong covetously, regardless of whether it was Linyuan or Bei Yi.

Although the Tianchong of the nation had been slightly weakened in the past few years, ever since the late emperor died, it had been getting weaker and weaker every year.

However, every year, many of those corrupt officials would die because of Yun Qingrao taking care of these trivial matters. However, since Shen Family was the rule, Yun Qingrao gradually lost all of her strength.

As for Yun Tianhong, he just collected the imperial report every morning and sent it directly to Yun Qingrao after he came back.

In the beginning, it was due to him being too young and being too lazy to watch all of this.

However, she was then provoked in the middle by Shen Ruxue. It was as if Yun Qingrao was the one who took the imperial report to read it from the very beginning.

Yun Tianhong secretly held a grudge about this matter, but the other party did not reveal it. The dark side of his heart was slowly being pulled further and further by Shen Ruxue.

Perhaps Shen Ruxue knew something about the future and had already figured out Yun Tianhong's authenticity. Otherwise, how could she be able to hook Yun Tianhong's heart so accurately?

Although there was an opportunity between the two of them, Yun Tianhong wasn't completely fake towards Shen Ruxue.

None of your business. If you're afraid of death, then be obediently captured by me today. Reflect properly on yourself in the Celestial Prison!

Tutor Zhou could no longer hold it in. He raised his head and stroked his grizzled beard: You are trying to force the government to rebel!

Rebel? Alright, I shall sit here and see how you all rebel!"

He suddenly let out a mad laugh. Because the hall was too quiet, it felt strange to hear the whispers.

Yun Qingrao narrowed her eyes as a cold smile flashed across her lips.

At that moment, an explosion could be heard from the side as a loud, deafening sound of something collapsing could be heard.

Everyone widened their eyes as they looked in the direction of the voice with fear. They felt the ground tremble for a moment.

It really exploded.

A wave of sand flew towards those people. Many of them scrambled to escape from the ground. Yun Tianhong looked at the token in his hand in confusion. It seemed like he didn't give out any orders at all.

However, it was too late to think about this now.

Along with the initial explosion, the entire hall started to shake continuously. The firelight blinded the eyes of the crowd for a moment. Yun Qingrao was pulled tightly into a man's embrace amidst the chaos.

Yao, follow me!

Gong Liuyu pulled Yun Qingrao and ran outside. However, the explosion happened too quickly because the explosives were hidden underground. As one part of the explosives burned, the other parts of the explosives were quickly connected together.

Bang Bang Bang...

A series of explosions caused Yun Qingrao's vision to go blurry, and her ears to ring.

One of her hands was being pulled by Gong Liuyu, while the other was covering her ears. The rocks that were blown into the air by the explosion landed on her face, leaving behind a faint trail of blood.

However, who would care about that at this time. Even Yun Luocheng, who was always calm, did not expect such an unexpected turn of events. He hurriedly walked outside under the escort of his personal guard.

When Yun Qingrao passed by the entrance of the main hall, she suddenly turned around and saw Yun Tianhong still sitting at his seat, staring blankly at the plate in his hands.

It was as if he was in the middle of a chaotic explosion and couldn't recover from it. For a moment, he had no intention of escaping.

Seeing this scene, Yun Qingrao did not stop and turned her head silently.

Since all of this was done by Yun Tianhong, he had to repay it with his life.

Bloody light filled both of their eyes, and the corpses of several ministers appeared on the broken ground. Those who had escaped ran far away in fear. Those high-ranking officials were no longer in their usual postures, and were now in a very sorry state.

Yun Qingrao wanted to sneer at the end, but when she turned around, she felt a change in the ground beside her.

That wave of air came very fast. Even Gong Liuyu, who was a martial arts master, couldn't react in time.

What he didn't expect was that the moment the explosion sounded, the woman beside him would actually force him to retreat.

That instant of shock made everyone open their eyes wide. Gong Liuyu quickly turned around and looked behind him, but all he saw was a collapsed hall door.

The people inside, even if they were alive, they would still be trapped inside.

Due to the huge fire caused by the explosion, the thick smoke covered every inch of the surrounding area of the main hall. With the last explosion, the noise also gradually calmed down.

However, Gong Liuyu no longer had any thoughts of noticing them.

Without the slightest hesitation, he forcefully opened up a layer of something that looked like a door. The broken remnants of the ruins still had a scorching heat to them.

The safer officials saw Gong Liuyu was doing all this and immediately tried to dissuade him: Your Royal Highness, I don't know if there are any explosives inside. If there is another explosion, it will be very dangerous!

Gong Liuyu continued to do his own thing as if he didn't hear those people's words. It didn't matter if his palm was burned or not, he couldn't feel any pain.

CHAPTER 204 - SHE IS DEAD?

His bloody hands were quickly covered in wounds.

There were still many blood blisters on the wound. Due to the lacerations, it was blurry.

Even though the crowd felt great pain, and some ministers wanted to speak up to stop them, none of them had the guts to do so.

The dust had settled. The large throne room, which had existed for decades, had been razed to the ground just like that. The palace was built with fine wood and bricks, and once it collapsed, the people inside would definitely not be able to survive.

Soon, Gong Liuyu found a lot of bodies buried inside.

There were palace maids, eunuchs, and even the guards who had been stationed there.

Seeing that the corpses weren't Yun Qingrao's, he quickly moved them to the side and continued his search.

However, there were no traces at all.

Your highness, the explosion earlier was too powerful. You should stop looking for it. When we attack together, we will definitely find the wangfei! Corpses or not.

At this time, only Gong Cheng still had the guts to step forward to say more. Seeing Gong Liuyu's snow-white robe that was stained with dust, the prince, who liked to clean himself, walked towards the dust without a care in the world.

Even Gong Cheng didn't think that his master would have such a deep grudge against his wife.

It was obvious that even Gong Cheng was shocked. There were not many people who sacrificed themselves to protect others, and he did not expect that the princess, who usually looked like a vase, would do this for the prince.

Gong Liuyu's eyes finally lit up a little: Gong Cheng, find it for this king. If you are alive, see him! If you die, see his corpse!

Gong Cheng immediately accepted the order. In an instant, all the Imperial Guard in the city surrounded them. The ruins and bricks were moved away and the corpses were all found and put together.

Gong Liuyu stared coldly at the thick smoke in front of him. He didn't move at all, he was like a pine tree that had been standing still for tens of thousands of years.

He did not care about the wound on his hand at all, letting the blood drop drop drop drop onto the ground. The corner of his mouth was slightly pale as he suddenly turned his head to look at the crowd beside him.

The ministers did not dare to leave. Now that Yun Tianhong could no longer live, the kingdom could not live without a ruler. Yun Tianhong's death could naturally be blamed on the assassins.

As for Yun Luocheng, he was the person who benefited the most from this crisis because he was the only person who had the Imperial Bloodline in that place.

Yun Luocheng sat on the chair peacefully. The servant beside him was still serving him tea. In the entire scene, the only person who was relaxed was Yun Luocheng.

He had only lost a few men, and the people who died inside had nothing to do with him.

And once Yun Tianhong died, he would immediately successfully ascend to the throne. This was what he wanted to do the most right now.

Prince Yu, now that the wangfei is dead, it'll be fine to marry another one. Once I've ascended to the throne, you can have any kind of woman you want.

When Gong Liuyu heard this, his gaze suddenly fell on Yun Luocheng. He squinted his eyes and walked towards Yun Luocheng step by step.

Yun Luocheng put down the teacup in his hand with a relaxed expression. He didn't feel nervous at all.

However, at this moment, Gong Liuyu suddenly opened his mouth, Men, seize the traitor who killed the Emperor, Yun Luocheng!

His words were instantly answered by countless soldiers. Imperial Guard, who was originally standing still on the spot, instantly moved and surrounded Yun Luocheng.

When Yun Luocheng saw this scene, he raised his head and squinted his eyes: Prince Yu, what are you doing? Don't tell me you're also interested in the throne?

Gong Liuyu didn't answer Yun Luocheng at all, and the Imperial Guards didn't hesitate either. They held their long swords in their hands and rushed up to Yun Luocheng.

In the blink of an eye, the swords and sabers clashed. Yun Luocheng's face also turned from a leisurely one to a livid one.

He had always thought that Gong Liuyu wanted to stand on his side because Yun Tianhong couldn't tolerate him. Now, it seemed that he was completely wrong.

Gong Liuyu, it's useless even if you kill me. You are not a member of the Yun Family after all.

Gong Liuyu lowered his eyes and hid all of his emotions. His noble and cold appearance hid his thoughts so that no one could guess what he was thinking.

Gong Cheng walked to the back of Gong Liuyu and took out a box.

Who said that the prince is not qualified to inherit the throne?

After he said that, everyone widened their eyes in shock. Even some of the old officials couldn't help but cast their curious gazes at Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng stretched out his hand and opened the box, revealing an ancient imperial edict.

The imperial edict depicted the lines used by the previous Emperor, golden and blue, outlining a dragon soaring in the clouds.

Whether it was the material of the imperial edict or the embroidery work on it, they were both difficult to imitate.

When they saw the edict left behind by the late emperor, all the ministers kneeled on the floor. Even if Gong Cheng read it aloud, there would still be people checking if the edict was real or fake.

The possession of the late emperor was not to be faked at all, because it was a great crime of exterminating an entire clan.

However, Gong Liuyu, who was the main character of the matter, seemed to be indifferent to all of this. He turned his head and stared at the direction of the ruins.

Gong Cheng recited, Prince Yu and Gong Zhe have done countless meritorious deeds and have fought side by side with me to achieve greatness. I have decided that if I abdicate the throne in the future, his son will be able to inherit the throne just like other princes!

After hearing such an imperial edict, everyone was stupefied, and no one said anything for a long time.

The battle on the other side also stopped.

Yun Luocheng slightly pursed his lips, coldly looked at Gong Liuyu, and said: That's impossible, how can Gong Liuyu have the qualifications to inherit the throne, how can Royal Father let an outsider occupy the mountain of Tianchong!

Just as he finished speaking, someone from the group of ministers spoke up.

That year, this Jiang Shan was fought by Prince Yu and the emperor at the same time. In the beginning, Prince Yu was bestowed the title of King by the side, you can see how great the achievement was. If Prince Yu did not have a son under his wing for many years, it would be hard to tell whether this throne belongs to the Yun Family.

Yun Luocheng raised his head and looked at Tutor Zhou in disbelief.

Gong Cheng put the imperial edict into a box on the side, then sent it down for the ministers to check if it was real or fake.

These ministers were all knowledgeable people, and many of them were aware of the profoundness of the imperial edict. They only needed a single glance to be able to tell what was going on.

When the imperial edict circled in front of everyone, even Yun Luocheng, he couldn't help but take a step back.

It was because the decree was indeed real, and even Gong Liuyu would not dare to forge something like that.

That meant, Gong Liuyu had the right to inherit the throne openly, and this edict was written by the late emperor.

But how was that possible?

Where did this imperial edict come from? Why didn't Gong Liuyu take it out before? Or could it be that Gong Liuyu only found out about it recently?

Otherwise, according to his thoughts, he wouldn't have waited until now to expose it.

Gong Cheng lowered his head, but when he heard that the ministers agreed with his words, he couldn't help but shrink his gaze when he thought of the name list that Yun Qingrao gave to him.

As expected, all the ministers on the list started talking to Gong Liuyu.

The imperial edict is real, which means that the late emperor did say something like that. Former Crown Prince is a man who rebelled before, and now that he has caused the death of the emperor, it is truly a heinous crime!

Yun Luocheng squinted his eyes and looked around the ministers' faces.

Many people avoided his gaze, lowering their heads in silence.

Yun Luocheng completely understood that all the people who had promised him their help were actually all arranged by Gong Liuyu. However, he was a little unclear on where Gong Liuyu had gotten such a powerful skill from. In the past few years, Gong Liuyu had always been at the North Mountain Pass, rarely interacting with the ministers of the imperial court.

Although he was suspicious, it was clear that the current situation was disadvantageous to him.

Let's go!

Protect Crown Prince!

After a round of fighting, both sides were injured, but it was obvious that Gong Liuyu had more men under his command.

There were still thirty thousand soldiers of the Imperial Guard outside the city under his command. Now, Yun Luocheng was like a fish in a net, it was extremely difficult for him to escape.

As for chasing him, Gong Liuyu only needed to arrange some people to do it. Right now, all of Gong Liuyu's attention was on the ruins in front of him.

The scene from before echoed in his mind for a long time. Gong Liuyu narrowed his eyes, with a gaze as deep as the abyss.

This was the first time he'd experienced such a feeling.

When he first found out that Yun Qingrao had really died, although his heart felt a little uncomfortable, it was not to such an extent. Although the two of them might have known each other back then, Yun Qingrao clearly did not have any memories of him.

Since he didn't have that memory, then the person he was looking for wasn't her. That person's shadow could only live in his memory forever.

However, things were different now. The shadow from the past and Yun Qingrao from the past no longer existed. In his heart, his wangfei was only his Yao, nothing more.

The current Yun Qingrao was also Lin Qingyao. Regardless of the past, his only thought now was to have a future in the future.

However, this thought was interrupted by a sudden accident.

Those ministers couldn't stand the coldness that was radiating from Gong Liuyu, but they didn't dare to leave, and could only stand nearby to accompany him.

This time, it was from day to night.

The night was dark, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open. It seemed like it could devour the world at any time.

No one dared to make a sound. Their legs were weak. Some of the officials even wanted to find a chair and sit down.

However, these people did not have the guts to rest while Gong Liuyu was standing. Even if they were tired, they could only stay with him.

Most of the ruins had already been cleared away, and more than half of the corpses had also been salvaged out. Just when everyone thought they wouldn't be able to find Yun Qingrao's corpse, someone suddenly made a discovery.

Your Royal Highness, there is a corpse!

CHAPTER 205 - THIS KING WILL NEVER ALLOW IT

Hearing this, all the ministers' hearts couldn't help but tighten.

This person's life and death was still uncertain. The future emperor's face had already become so gloomy. If this person were to truly die, who knew what kind of storm would break out?

All of a sudden, these ministers were full of regret. They looked at Gong Liuyu's direction in fear that he might go crazy and vent their anger on him.

When Gong Liuyu heard the commotion, he quickly jumped over and saw a woman in a imperial concubine uniform.

It was a pity that the woman's hands and head had been smashed so hard that they were completely unrecognizable. The flesh on her body was indistinct as well. If it wasn't for her noble imperial concubine attire, no one would have recognized her.

The moment Gong Liuyu saw this scene, his chest felt like it had been viciously hammered by something. He suddenly shrunk in pain.

It had been a long time since he felt pain, but this pain was not from his body, but from the tip of his heart.

He pursed his lips and didn't say anything. He silently stood beside the corpse and looked at it for a long time. Then, he slightly raised his head: Gong Cheng, put the corpse on the ground. This King needs to examine it carefully!

Yes sir!

Gong Cheng made a prompt decision and immediately wanted to carry the corpse out. However, he heard Gong Liuyu suddenly say: Wait!

Gong Cheng stopped.

I'll do it!

Gong Liuyu spat out two words and walked to the side of the corpse. He stretched out his hand and personally carried the corpse out, regardless of the blood and filth.

Many people widened their eyes as they saw Gong Liuyu, who was wearing a dirty and messy white robe, slowly walk out from the ruins while carrying an unrecognizable woman.

There was no expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking. However, everyone felt a dense sadness and coldness in their hearts.

The officials quickly kneeled to the ground and lowered their heads without saying a word. They were all silent.

Gong Liuyu walked in front of these people and didn't even glance at them: Get up, the ministers are tired too. Let's go back and rest!

Yes, Your Highness!

Tutor Zhou's lips twitched. He wanted to say something, but ended up sighing.

Gong Liuyu put the corpse on the high platform beside him. Then, he lifted up the blood stained hair on the corpse's face, revealing a face that made it hard to see and made him want to puke.

Yun Qingrao, is this the huge gift that you've given to this king? To let a group of subjects assist this king in ascending to the throne, to gift this king this great river of Tianchong, and then have you leave?

Impossible!

This King will not allow it!

He mumbled to himself. His broken fingers that could not be seen slid over the similarly broken corpse, revealing the neck that did not have any good flesh underneath.

He carefully examined the marks on the corpse bit by bit.

Finally, he used a dagger to cut open the clothes on the corpse's arm.

The arm of the corpse was still clean. Although it had been broken, its flesh hadn't suffered much damage.

A similar cyan blood vein appeared on her forearm. When Gong Liuyu saw this, his pupils suddenly contracted.

It's real. This really is Yun Qingrao's corpse.

Gong Liuyu couldn't help but retract his hand as he stared at the corpse with a gaze as dark as water. The expression in his eyes changed slightly.

Then, he turned around, his eyes glimmering as he looked at Gong Cheng: Prepare the coffin!

Yes sir!

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Gong Liuyu and it seemed to be the same as usual, Gong Cheng was relieved. He immediately got someone to prepare the items Gong Liuyu wanted and they all used high quality wood coffins.

Since the wangfei had already been found, these people arranged the other corpses. The throne room couldn't be used as a residence for the time being, but the other palaces weren't affected too much.

Gong Liuyu's gaze was cold, and the expression in his eyes was dark. It was hard to tell if he was sad or not.

Prince, are you alright?

Gong Cheng had never been someone who would comfort others. Seeing Yun Qingrao die just like that, he felt a bit sad.

Gong Liuyu's gaze was cold and without any emotions. Gong Cheng, go investigate. Seal off all major roads in the Imperial City. Do not let anyone suspicious slip out!

Your Highness, you …

Gong Cheng looked at Gong Liuyu in confusion. This time, he finally understood that Gong Liuyu was not referring to Yun Luocheng.

After all, the news about Yun Luocheng being hunted had already spread out. There was no need for stupid orders anymore.

Then... The prince's meaning was that the princess was not dead.

However, how was that possible …

Such a huge explosion was something that even those with powerful martial arts might not be able to avoid, not to mention the unarmed would-be princess.

Yun Qingrao looked like a weak girl, and it was impossible for her to dodge.

Prince, wangfei, she …

Mm, she's not dead!

Gong Liuyu was very sure and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

That gaze caused Gong Cheng to feel a little scared. He even had the feeling that Gong Liuyu was just a demon.

The princess was dead, and even her corpse was lying there. How could she not be dead all of a sudden? Could it be that the corpse was fake?

No way. Who could change their clothes for another person in such a short period of time after the explosion? Who could even make the exchange so flawless?

No matter how smart Gong Cheng was, he still couldn't figure out how Ye Zichen did it.

However, Gong Liuyu had to listen to him: Rest well Prince, there are more things to do tomorrow!

Gong Liuyu slightly raised his head: Okay, you go!

Gong Cheng turned around to do something. Gong Liuyu looked at the corpse and instantly turned his head away. No matter how similar the marks were, it was still fake.

He wasn't an idiot, he couldn't even recognize his own woman. Even if the corpse was completely unrecognizable and there wasn't even the slightest bit of good meat in it, he would still be able to identify it.

With Gong Liuyu's order, the entire Imperial City began to quietly go into an uproar.

The news of the Emperor's death instantly spread throughout the Imperial City.

That imperial edict was hung at the gates of the entire Royal Capital for all the citizens to spectate. But for ordinary commoners, who would care about who became the Emperor?

It was just because Gong Liuyu was famous outside and was also the War God King who was protecting his country. Now that they heard that he was about to become the new ruler of Tianchong, all of the citizens had smiles on their faces.

Gong Liuyu had been famous outside for a long time, and he had also followed the hearts of the people. This made the matter of him claiming the title of emperor seem to be extremely smooth.

However, Gong Cheng had been searching for suspicious people for two days straight without any signs of clues.

At the beginning, Gong Liuyu was quiet, but later, he felt uneasy. He suddenly thought of something and stood up from the table.

Gong Cheng had just finished reporting his day's findings. Seeing Gong Liuyu's bad complexion, he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything else.

Gong Cheng, the person who brought Yao away must be someone very familiar with this palace!

Prince … Gong Cheng didn't know what to say. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes: Prince, are you sure that it wasn't the wangfei who died, or are these just your guesses?

When Gong Liuyu heard this, his gaze suddenly turned cold: When was this king's decision wrong?

Gong Cheng's firm and unwavering words blocked all of his thoughts. Right now, the only thing he had to do was to follow the orders of the Prince and search for traces of the wangfei, secretly.

Your Highness … The emperor's inauguration ceremony is going to start the day after tomorrow. Is there anything else the emperor needs to prepare? "

Gong Cheng felt a bit uncomfortable after the sudden change in address. He raised his head and looked at the man, who was still dressed in white, and sighed.

Yun Qingrao's methods were truly amazing. It was really hard to know where she found that imperial edict.

She secretly had someone hand over the edict to him, but he still reported this matter to Gong Liuyu in advance.

Gong Liuyu pretended that he didn't know anything. He only wanted Yun Qingrao to be happy with him, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen.

As for the list of names Yun Qingrao had given him, it was filled with the weaknesses and weaknesses of all the ministers. Knowing all of this, it would be extremely easy for them to tame and tame them.

No need to prepare anything!

Gong Liuyu wasn't very interested in this matter. He stood at the window of the main hall and looked at the golden throne room, which had not been cleaned up completely in the dark, with a dark look in his eyes.

Yun Qingrao, where are you?

...

Yun Qingrao's whole body was sore, and her head was in so much pain that it was hard to bear. This was the only feeling she had after she woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a dark room.

The faint reflection of the candle flame was reflected in her eyes. Because this room had no windows, she was unable to see anything outside.

Is she still alive? Where is she now?

The final scene in her mind was the huge explosion, followed by a faint darkness.

Rubbing her aching head, she realized that her face was wrapped in layers of cloth. She was slightly stunned. She looked for the mirror in the room and saw herself wrapped like a ghost in the bronze mirror.

Could it be that she was disfigured?

It wasn't impossible. After all, how could she not be injured by such a powerful explosion and the rocks flying everywhere?

Although she felt a little regretful over her beautiful face from before, she did not take this matter to heart.

Although the room was too dark, the atmosphere inside was fresh and quiet. She didn't know where she was nor did she see Gong Liuyu. She couldn't help but feel enlightened.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the door. Yun Qingrao quickly hid herself on the bed after hearing it.

Yun Qingrao closed her eyes after covering herself with her blanket once again. She had always used such a skillful method, so even if the owner of the footsteps entered the room, he wouldn't notice anything amiss.

The man did not say a word. Instead, he walked over to her side and probed her forehead.

Suddenly, Little maidservant's shrill voice could be heard.

Li mama, is this person still alive or not? Mistress has spent so much effort to bring her over from the Tianchong, I don't know what she's doing. She's been sick all the way, it's really a burden!

CHAPTER 206 - WHERE IS SHE

Yun Qingrao listened attentively when she heard maidservant call out 'Master'. It seemed that she was no longer in the Imperial City.

However, she didn't know what happened after that. Did Gong Liuyu successfully escape from the explosion?

Although she was a little worried, she still believed in Gong Liuyu's strength.

However, how did she manage to survive? She could only watch helplessly as the tall pillar next to her smashed down. She was only slightly injured. She was truly blessed with great fortune.

Don't speak nonsense about master, go back to work!

Yun Qingrao could feel that little maidservant was wiping her face impatiently with a handkerchief. She immediately suppressed all the doubts in her heart and deliberately moved her eyelids, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

Faintly opening her eyes, Yun Qingrao's eyes were filled with astonishment. She looked around and rolled her eyes.

When her sight landed on the elderly woman and the beautiful maidservant, she spoke with a hoarse voice as if she had just woken up, Who are you? Where am I?

Madam, please eat something first!

When the old woman saw that she had woken up, her eyes narrowed and she quickly got maidservant to bring the food over.

Yun Qingrao sniffed with her nose and immediately smelled the peculiar scent in the food.

She should have woken up a long time ago. It was only because someone had drugged her during the meal that she had been in a coma for such a long time.

She wondered how long it had been since that day, did Gong Liuyu know where she was?

But now that she knew what these people were thinking, she naturally couldn't be tricked. However, she couldn't even protect herself right now, so fighting back was even more difficult.

She obediently held the bowl and chopsticks in her
