Above the palace gate tower.

Princess Yu was dressed in palace attire, holding a drumstick in her hand and beating a huge war drum on the city gate tower as loud as thunder.

The commotion here quickly attracted all the civil and military officials, students and common people in Kyoto.

Under the hunting autumn wind, Concubine Yu put down her drumsticks and held a bright yellow imperial edict in her hand.

"The prince's house was buried in a sea of ​​fire. I was devastated and ordered people to investigate. I really didn't expect that the culprit who burned down the prince's house was actually my fourth son. This son disobeyed the prince, murdered his brothers and sisters, and colluded with the enemy. His crime is unpardonable.

The evidence is conclusive, declare my decree and grant death with grace!

I am the adoptive mother of the late Crown Prince. That day, the late Crown Prince was brutally murdered. Your Majesty was sad and angry. After finding out the reason, he immediately wrote this death edict.

Unexpectedly, before the edict was sent out, His Majesty poisoned the late Emperor's food and killed him.

After he ascended the throne, he executed all the courtiers in the East Palace vigorously and resolutely, and even executed all the courtiers related to the former crown prince.

I hold this imperial edict in fear every day, lest I lose my life after the imperial edict is leaked. It is a small thing, but it is a big thing if I can't make the truth known to the public.

I have lived an ignoble existence for more than twenty years, and finally I have been waiting for today.

Killing the king and killing the father is unacceptable!"

By the time the emperor got the news and hurriedly led his people to the city gate downstairs, Concubine Yu had already said these words no less than ten times.

The gate tower where she was located was the outermost gate of the palace gate, facing the streets of Kyoto.

Concubine Yu spoke at the top of her lungs, and the streets were deserted due to the war. This voice carried into countless mansions.

As her roaring voice fell, Concubine Yu suddenly bent down and grabbed a handful of rice paper from the sack at her feet.

"For more than twenty years, I have reminded myself every day not to forget how the late emperor died. I dare not forget it for a day, so I copy this imperial edict several times every day.

take it!

take it!"

As if she was going crazy, she grabbed a handful of the rice paper with the imperial edict written on it and swung it downstairs at the city gate. The autumn wind made the thin rice paper rolls fly all over the sky.

The emperor was so furious that he stood under the city gate and roared, "How outrageous! How did she get up there? Who asked her to get up there! Are they all dead? Go and get her down quickly!"

Even before the emperor came, the imperial army had already dispatched a wave of troops, trying to rush up to the city gate tower and drag Concubine Yu down.

But the maid in front of Concubine Yu was very good at martial arts. She took advantage of the location of the city gate tower and held a crossbow. Anyone who went upstairs to stop Concubine Yu would definitely be shot to death by the maid.

The emperor hasn't come yet, who is willing to risk his life like this?

Therefore, after attacking once or twice, the imperial army gave up and waited for the emperor to come up. At this time, after receiving the order, the imperial army immediately swarmed forward.

"Does the Dog Emperor want to kill people and silence them? It's a pity that God doesn't give you this chance! You poisoned the prince and the late emperor, and God allowed you to live on earth for more than twenty years.

It's not that the time has not come yet, King Duankang is of the blood of the late emperor. He is now full-fledged and comes to take your dog's head!

Late Emperor, I have finally fulfilled my mission, and I am here to accompany you."

Concubine Yu gave a shrill cry, climbed up the city wall, and jumped down under the horrified gaze of everyone.

The rice paper flying all over the sky was like snowflakes in winter. Princess Yu's ginger-red palace dress drew a line from top to bottom, passing through the flying white, and fell to the ground.

On the bluestone covered with rice paper, blood splattered in all directions.

Princess Yu is dead.

Before he died, he gave the emperor a hard blow.

The emperor looked at Concubine Yu in shock.

Over the years, although he respected the Queen Mother, he had always treated Concubine Yu very well. He even built a secret passage between the Cuju Courtyard and Concubine Yu's palace to facilitate his visit to Concubine Yu from time to time.

For no other reason than to be able to get close to Princess Yu in private without being known by the Queen Mother.

Just because...he thought that Concubine Yu was his biological mother.

Until the moment before Concubine Yu's death, the emperor thought that Concubine Yu was his biological mother.

How......

How could this be his biological mother?

If Concubine Yu was his biological mother, how could she risk her life to fulfill King Duankang?

The anger that had been building up for several days reached its peak at this moment, and the emperor shouted with almost all his strength, "Ah!!! Why!"

He stood in embarrassment and anger among the palace and the imperial guards. After roaring, there was blood on the corner of his mouth. His red eyes stared at the body of Princess Yu lying in a pool of blood on the ground.

"Why are you treating me like this! Isn't I treating you badly? I gave you everything the Queen Mother has, except for the title. Why are you still not satisfied? You have to do this to the point of death! Why?

!Why are you!"

Since the last time the emperor asked Princess Xinrou to deliver a message to Nanzhao, the empress dowager and Xinrou's confinement was also lifted.

Xinrou supported the Queen Mother and hurried over. Before she could stop Princess Yu from slandering the emperor's reputation, she only saw Princess Yu jumping down from the city wall.

If she were alive, it could be said that she was bewitched.

Now that she is dead, there is no evidence to prove her death. Besides, she was bewitched, so how convincing is she?

Concubine Yu sacrificed her life to completely pave the way for King Duankang's rebellion.

The chief chamberlain looked shocked for a long time.

No wonder King Duankang was so confident in his conspiracy. Yu Yan and Xiao Jiayuan had guessed countless times about the motivation behind King Duankang. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Concubine Yu.

That means that the person who helped King Duankang escape from the palace before was also Princess Yu.

Concubine Yu actually used this method to help King Duankang.

Who would do this except biological parents.

Can......

The head chamberlain was stunned.

Whose child is King Duankang?

Madam Dingyuanhou recognizes him as her son, Princess Yunyang has raised him for so many years, and now there is Concubine Yu who will die for him?

Those who compile novels wouldn’t dare to compile it like this, as they would be scolded to death by readers.

Princess Yu's death added another layer of color to the already panic-stricken Kyoto, making the turbulent court situation even more disintegrated.

However, just when everything had almost hit rock bottom, good news came from Jinnan.

King Duankang, who had not encountered any resistance along the way, was intercepted by Qin Mo in Jinnan.

Qin Mo sent a request for help to Kyoto. He could only defend Jinnan for three days at most and hoped that His Majesty would send reinforcements quickly.

Without waiting for the support from Nanzhao or the arrival of the southern Xinjiang army, the emperor had already prepared for the worst and was preparing to let the soldiers and horses of the Xishan Camp fight against King Duankang under the walls of Kyoto. However, he never expected that King Duankang would actually

Qin Mo stopped him.

The emperor, who had just received a heavy blow, was filled with emotions for a moment, as if he had grasped the last life-saving straw in his life.
