The first thing Mei Bei thought about Chen Yuan's current state was that he was probably crazy.

Sure enough, this opening confirmed Meiberry's thoughts.

"Save no one, shoot them all!"

It's not that Mei Bei and the others couldn't hear Chen Yuan's order.

Previously they were still trying to catch everyone alive, but now they are leaving no one alive?

Mei Bei's eyes widened in disbelief. What kind of killer is this man?

"Quickly retreat!"

Wang Beigu ordered everyone to cross the bridge quickly.

However, he asked others to evacuate, but he never moved. Several of Wang Beigu's subordinates begged Wang Beigu one by one, hoping that he could evacuate quickly.

"Boss, the master will not allow you to do this!"

"Chief! I'll stay here for you, please leave quickly!"

However, this man did not follow the advice of his subordinates. He shouted softly, pushed everyone behind him, and stood at the bridge with a long knife, blocking the countless flying arrows.

"This is an order."

Wang Beigu looked directly into the eyes of Chen Yuan across from him and said an order that had nothing to do with him, "Escort the Mei family to evacuate!"

Some people obeyed the order and left, but some people refused to leave and stood beside him to help him block more arrows.

Mayberry didn't get on the bridge in time because of the mule kid. Instead, she let more people get on before urging the mule kid to go ahead of her.

"Go quickly."

Mayberry slapped the mule's butt and urged it to cross the bridge quickly.

Watching the mule kid get on the bridge, Mei Mei followed soon after. Standing at the end of the bridge, she turned around to call Mei You, but she saw that Mei You had taken the shield from the man who fell next to Wang Beigu at some point.

Then she helped block the fatal blow from Chen Yuan himself.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that Mei You had blocked the blow for him, Wang Beigu realized that Mei You hadn't left yet.

Countless people have fallen beside him, and it is the most dangerous time.

"You guys leave quickly!"

Mei You and Mei Bei were inseparable. Seeing Mei You beside him, Wang Beigu didn't even need to look back to know that Mei Bei was not far away either!

No matter what Wang Beigu shouted, Mei You was not Wang Beigu's subordinate.

She glanced at the empty arrow bag of the soldier opposite, and without saying a word, she forcefully carried Wang Beigu, who had suffered many injuries, on her shoulders.

She also used a shield with arrows inserted to protect the opponent's fatal points as a precaution, then jumped onto the bridge.

"Put me down quickly!"

Wang Beigu was shocked by Mei You's behavior.

Seeing this, Mei Berry breathed a sigh of relief. When Mei You looked over, she immediately signaled to turn around and run in the direction of the mule cub.

Chen Yuan's loud shouts came from behind them. It was probably because he finished shooting the arrow and the result was not satisfactory, right?

"Go quickly, go quickly!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the members were roaring, Meiberry and the others ran non-stop towards the other side of the suspension bridge.

While running, Mayberry cheered up Mayu who was following behind her.

"When we cross the bridge, we will cut it down! I will let them chase!"

Although the suspension bridge was very swaying, Meiberry and the others still walked very steadily. Meiberry had even thought about the possibility of being chased by the other party!

It's a pity, probably because they didn't read the almanac before running away today. Mayberry thought about cutting down the suspension bridge, and the other party also thought about it.

Even when Meiberry and the others were already waving cheerfully towards Shopkeeper Ma who was standing on the other side waiting anxiously for their return, she saw that the happy expression on Shopkeeper Ma's face suddenly turned into panic!

Mei Bei's heart suddenly tightened when she saw Shopkeeper Ma's sudden change in facial expression, and then she looked at the other person's mouth opening and closing.

Until Meiberry understood what it meant, Meiberry's mind went blank.

run quickly,

The bridge is broken.

that moment,

Meiberry didn't know what she was thinking. Although her feet were still striding forward, she couldn't help but turn her head and look back.

Chen Yuan was seen standing at the end of the bridge, with that wicked and arrogant smile on his face again, he raised his hand and struck at the suspension bridge.

A sound of "bang".

When the sound of the rope breaking on the bridge reached Meiberry's ears, Meiberry's scalp instantly became numb.

The next second, she felt that her feet had lost their point of strength, and her whole body began to fall backwards.

At the moment of falling, Meiberry felt that all the shots in front of her were in slow motion, until she fell into the cold underground river.

"Plop!"

Meiberry, who didn't know how big a splash she made, had two things flashing through her mind before she completely lost consciousness -

She can't swim!

If she dies, can the clock-in system continue for her parents?

***

Xie Changxun, who was far away in the imperial capital, felt his heart skip a beat for no apparent reason.

It seems like something bad happened.

Standing outside Ci'an Palace, Xie Changxuan stared at the ground, waiting for the eunuch's summons.

"Thank you, sir, the Queen Mother would like to invite you in."

Hearing the eunuch's announcement, Xie Changxu walked towards the palace.

Along the way, everything in Ci'an Palace was still the same as when the other party was in Fengxiang Palace, just as cold and unpopular.

After entering the room and bowing, Xie Changxu stood outside the beaded curtain and had already guessed what the Queen Mother wanted to say countless times.

"Are all the feudal lords ready to return to their fiefdoms?"

"Go back to the Queen Mother, everything is ready, all princes will leave Beijing soon."

"Including King Qi?"

Listening to the Queen Mother mentioning King Qi alone, Xie Changxun's heart moved, and he just said: "Yes, including King Qi."

"Is it?"

Xie Changzhen did not answer the Queen Mother's soft words that seemed to be a question, and waited quietly for the next sentence.

"The Queen Mother."

At this moment, the eunuch's voice came from outside the house.

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty just woke up from nap and is looking for you."

"The Ai family knows, please bring His Majesty over."

Upon hearing this, Xie Changxu knew that his conversation with the Queen Mother was about to end.

"Wei Chen resigns."

"Thank you, Qing."

Before Xie Changxuan left, the Queen Mother stopped him again, "Don't forget that your presence is a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor. Don't let down the expectations of the late emperor, the Ai family, and the present majesty."

"My lord, Xie Changxun will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."

When Xie Changxu left Ci'an Palace, the newly ascended little emperor happened to be running past him in a hurry.

Xie Changshu saluted, looked up at the child who was only six years old, and recalled the expressions of everyone present when Emperor Yan Qing sent someone to bring the child.

incredible.

Emperor Yan Qing actually raised one of his children in the house of a clan prince outside the palace since he was a child, without telling anyone.

The appearance of this child directly broke the psychological defenses of several other adult princes.

Because at the same time as the child appeared, there were also several civil servants and nobles standing behind him who had not lined up with any prince in the court.

These were the ministers that Emperor Yan Qing relied on very much, but none of them could win over them. But now that they were standing here, it was even more heart-wrenching.

Sure enough, an emperor's heir of unknown origin was remembered by the always unfavored Queen Yudie overnight, and he became a high-ranking legitimate prince.

Another day, after dealing with the palace coup initiated by a certain prince, Emperor Yan Qing, who was left with only one breath, finally passed the throne to the newly minted empress' legitimate son in front of several civil and military ministers.
