21. Don't trust anyone!

"Don't let Tuoba Liang wake up?" After hearing Mingjing's report, Jun Wuhuan, who was reading a book, raised his eyebrows with interest. Mingjing sat down and nodded and said, "That's what Baili Qinghong said."

Jun Wuhuan said lightly: "No." Mingjing was a little puzzled, "Young Master, why?" Jun Wuhuan sneered: "Do you think Baili Qinghong can't do this little thing himself?"

"..." Mingjing was speechless. This was not a trivial matter. After all, Tuoba Liang was the king of a country, and there were countless experts around him. If they were not as suspicious as Zhu Yaohong, they would probably not be able to do it easily. If it was so easy to attack an emperor, all the people in the royal family of Northern Jin would have been killed by them.

As if she understood what Mingjing was thinking, Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "Others can't do it, but don't forget that Baili Qinghong is Tuoba Liang's son-in-law. The most important thing is... his mother-in-law is the Empress of Northern Jin." Even if Empress Leye is not favored, she is still the Empress of the Central Palace, and her power in the palace is still quite good. Mingjing said, "The relationship between Baili Qinghong and Tuoba Mingzhu..."

"Do you think Tuoba Mingzhu will tell the queen that his relationship with Baili Qinghong has deteriorated to this point? What's more... For the Leye tribe, which is more important, a princess who is out of favor or a prince consort who is highly valued, is afraid it's hard to say."

Mingjing then suddenly realized, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Baili Qinghong wants to use us?"

Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "If you can let others do it, try not to do it yourself. Who is not like this?"

"If we don't agree..." Mingjing said, Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "Of course, Baili Qinghong can only find a way for himself. If we can wait, he may not be able to. Of course... the Tian family cannot wait."

Mingjing remembered the current situation of the Tian family, and couldn't help but laugh, "The princess's trick is so wonderful that it has forced the Tian family to this point. Tian Yixuan is known as the most outstanding back of the Tian family, and it seems that it is just that." Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "Do you really think Tian Yixuan didn't expect Ah Ling to go back on his word?"

Mingjing was stunned. Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "That was his only chance to survive, and he had already betrayed the Northern Jin Dynasty. He had to bear at least half of the responsibility if the entire army of the Clan was wiped out. Tuoba Liang could not spare him no matter what the conditions Ahhlu proposed. At that time, no matter what conditions Ah Ling proposed, he would actually agree. Pretending to have been deceived by Ah Ling, he might be more at ease."

"Then, princess..."

Jun Wuhuan said: "A Ling naturally knows it. What does it matter? As long as the purpose is achieved, it's fine."

Mingjing sighed helplessly. It seemed that he was far from the young master and the princess. He nodded and Mingjing said, "I understand. I will convey the young master's meaning to Baili Qinghong." Jun Wuhuan stood up and said, "You go and do it, I'll go out."

"Where are you going?"

Jun Wuhuan said, "It's time to go to see Nangong."

In the palace, Zhu Yaohong stood at the gate of the palace and looked at the person who blocked his way, slightly darkened, "What do you mean?"

The guard guarding the palace gate bowed respectfully and said, "Empress Yao, the queen is destined to be punished. Your Majesty is not awake yet, and no one is allowed to enter and exit at will." Zhu Yaohong sneered and said, "I don't know that there is this rule!" The guards still blocked in front of the door and did not give in, "Please forgive me, Empress."

Zhu Yaohong snorted coldly and said, "The Great Queen is so majestic."

"Concubine Yao has any objection to this palace?" The queen walked out with her people. After all, she was Tuoba Liang's original wife, and even if she had fallen out of favor, she was still the first person in the harem. Especially when Tuoba Liang was unconscious and unable to take charge of the affairs, it was natural for the empress to preside over the inner palace.

Zhu Yaohong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the eldest queen. Queen Leye has been living a difficult life in recent years. Even if she became a queen, she was not comfortable. Therefore, she looked a few years older than she was. Although she was wearing a queen's formal outfit, she could not hide the old twilight.

But today, the eldest queen seems to have a little more than usual.

Zhu Yaohong lowered her eyes slightly and thought in her heart, but she did not neglect at all. "I dare not, the eldest queen is so serious. However... Your Majesty is unconscious now, but the Queen is guarding the palace gate and not allowing others to visit, which is worrying."

The Queen was not polite and sneered, "Worry? What qualifications do you have to worry? You are just a humble Apocalypse woman. If Your Majesty was not deceived by your beauty, where would you have a foothold in this harem? The ministers and clans of the previous dynasty could naturally come to visit Your Majesty, but you... I don't know what to say, who would dare to let you in?"

The palace suddenly became quiet, and this was indeed good. As long as Tuoba Liang did not wake up, the great queen in the palace had the final say. Even the people from the underworld might not be on Zhu Yaohong's side. After all, Zhu Yaohong had neither power nor family background, nor even children. The reason why he could survive was entirely dependent on Tuoba Liang's favor. Once Tuoba Liang had anything to do with Zhu Yaohong, it would not be good. The great queen might not be there. Behind her, there was the Leye tribe, the princess and the princess of Zhao Kingdom. She was also the queen of Tuoba Liang's palace. As long as she did not rebel against any unforgivable mistakes, Tuoba Liang could not kill her for Zhu Yaohong.

So, although Zhu Yaohong's holy favor is strong, she has no strength to compete with the Great Queen after leaving Tuoba Liang.

"She can't do it, can I do it?" Not far away, a flamboyant female voice sounded. Everyone looked up and saw Su and Jinlian wearing luxurious clothes and walking over with people. They walked to Zhu Yaohong and looked at her. Su and Jinlian looked up at the great queen standing on the steps of the palace and smiled: "Great Queen, can't I see Your Majesty?"

The eldest queen's expression changed slightly, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "No."

Su and Jinlian have always been used to being arrogant, so they would not pay attention to her. They sneered: "I want to meet you. You are the queen, and I am also the queen. Why should I listen to you?"

"you!"

Su and Jinlian smiled and said, "Is it possible that the Grand Queen did something that wanted to murder Your Majesty, so she refused to let us see Your Majesty? If something happened to Your Majesty, can the Grand Queen afford it?"

The queen's eyes changed slightly, and she stared at Su and Jinlian steadily. Su and Jinlian proudly raised their chins and looked at them without dodging. For a moment, no one was willing to give in.

After a long time, the Queen calmed down her expression and said coldly: "Since Queen Jinlian and Concubine Yao are all thinking about His Majesty, then go in and take a look."

When Su and Jinlian heard this, they immediately smiled, "This is almost the same." After that, they pulled Zhu Yaohong and walked inside.

"..." Zhu Yaohong was dragged into the room and felt helpless. Princess, you just walked in like this, aren't you afraid that the queen would ambush people inside and kill us? But no matter what Zhu Yaohong thought, she could only follow Su and Jinlian in at this time.

Tuoba Liang was still not awake yet, but the atmosphere in the bedroom was a little nervous. Although the Queen and the Underworld were in the same room, they did not seem to be harmonious. A guard from the Underworld stood in front of the window, and his eyes looked at the Queen with a little vigilant. He seemed to be worried that the Queen would take the opportunity to attack Tuoba Liang.

The eldest queen didn't seem to care. Although she was guarding the bedroom, she didn't mean to take care of Tuoba Liang himself. She just sat on the side with a cold face.

Zhu Yaohong walked to the bed and sat down, looked at Tuoba Liang who was sleeping and the great queen who was not far away frowned slightly. Su and Jinlian were the most relaxed and comfortable among them. Seeing Tuoba Liang unconscious, he didn't care, "It seems that Your Majesty is really sick this time."

Zhu Yaohong ignored her and looked up and asked the guard beside her, "What do you think of the imperial physician?"

"Qi and blood attack the heart." The guard whispered.

Can you not attack your heart with blood? Just as I killed Ahulu's entire family, Ahulu's head was sent back. It was clear that they told everyone that the Northern Jin Emperor was fooled and killed Zhongliang in vain.

Although the wind direction in the court is making mistakes in using troops to Ahulu, and the whole family is killed without unjustly leading them, but who doesn't know the truth of the facts? This time the troops are clearly what Tuoba Liang himself means, and Ahulu can only be considered a culprit at most.

Sighing lightly, Zhu Yaohong asked, "It doesn't matter, right?"

The guard whispered: "Don't worry, Empress, Your Majesty is in good health and should wake up soon."

"That's good." Zhu Yaohong said softly.

The queen snorted coldly not far away, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

Tuoba Liang did not wake up quickly as the guard said, and there was still no movement the next day. However, the imperial physician in the palace could not find out any abnormalities. He could only think that Tuoba Liang was a sequelae of previous poisoning, and the qi and blood attacking the heart were too weak, so he fell asleep and was not awake for a long time.

Late at night, the palace was still silent.

Zhu Yaohong leaned against the head of the bed and had already fallen asleep. Tuoba Liang was still asleep quietly on the bed beside her. A faint fragrance was burning in the bedroom, and there was silence.

Suddenly, a noise came faintly from afar. The originally empty bedroom hall immediately became brighter, and there were a few more people at the door and in the hall. Zhu Yaohong suddenly woke up, frowned and said in a daze: "What's wrong? What's wrong?" The black-clad guard guarding the hall said: "Don't worry, Empress, it seems that something happened to the outer court, maybe it was because of the water. Someone had been sent to see it."

"That's good." Zhu Yaohong nodded and looked back at Tuoba Liang, who was pale on the bed, "You guys go out and guard, I'll take care of Your Majesty."

Concubine Yao took care of His Majesty and others in the past two days, and the guard couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty will not wake up for a while, so why don't you go to the side hall to rest?" Zhu Yaohong smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Forget it, I can't sleep either. What's more, the Grand Empress..." Yesterday, Su and Jinlian brought Zhu Yaohong in and took a look and left, but the Grand Empress really stayed in the bedroom and did not leave. Although she did not take care of Tuoba Liang with her own hands, others could not drive her away due to her identity. Even if she was domineering and tormenting others, others could not do anything to her. Even the people in the Underworld could not help but hope that Tuoba Liang would wake up quickly and drive the Grand Empress out.

"My lady, don't worry, it's good to wait for Your Majesty to wake up." Zhu Yaohong nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's good to wait for Your Majesty to wake up..."

The noise in the distance did not subside, but on the contrary, it was becoming more and more intense.

The White Tower is right next to the palace. Because of the height of the tower, standing on the top floor of the White Tower, you can just look down at the entire palace.

When the lights were on in the palace, which had already sunk into the night, the white tower was also brightly lit. At the lower floor, men and women wearing white clothes and weapons stood quietly, as if waiting for some order. These people looked outstanding in their eyes, but they seemed to have no feelings in their eyes like puppets. If there were outsiders here, they would find that the number of these people was actually much more than the outside world's estimate of the White Tower guards. And most of them... were Apocalypse people.

The National Master of Nangong likes beautiful men and women, so most of the guards of the White Tower are the Apocalypse men and women who are demoted to slaves. Originally, the people of the Clan were a little worried. After all, the White Tower is also one of the extremely important places in the Northern Jin Dynasty. However, after seeing the deaths in the White Tower for three days and the cruelty and cruelty of Nangong Yuyue, no one said anything more. After all, although serving the National Master is a kind of honor, it is still exempted if you go in and die. Every Clan man and woman are very precious. Moreover, since Nangong Yuyue took the position of the National Master, the sacredness of the original identity of the National Master has long disappeared.

Now in the Northern Jin Dynasty, the national teacher is simply synonymous with a madman.

On the top floor, Nangong Yuyue stood at the window and looked in the direction of the palace. She closed her eyes slightly as if she was enjoying the air cleaned at night.

It was actually very cold at night in November, but Nangong Yuyue seemed to feel the coldness at all.

He raised his hand and stretched out the window, and a little coolness fell on his fingertips.

"It's snowing." Nangong Yuyue sighed softly.

"You're happy that my wish for so many years is about to be fulfilled?" Not far behind him, Jun Wuhuan sat on the soft couch holding a glass of wine in his hand and asked. The charcoal fire in the tower was very strong, and after drinking the strong wine, Jun Wuhuan's pale face was also blushed.

Nangong Yuyue looked back at him, raised her eyebrows and said, "Shouldn't I be happy?"

Jun Wuhuan asked, "Nangong, don't you regret it?"

Nangong Yuyue seemed to hear something funny and couldn't help laughing. When he finally laughed enough, he finally stood up and looked at Jun Wuhuan, "Didn't you... like me, have you been waiting for the death of the Tuoba family? Why did you ask me if I regret it? So what if I regret it? Could you still give up your plan?"

Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said, "If you give up, I will naturally do the next thing."

Nangong Yuyue was stunned. His strength and Jun Wuhuan were not much different. He even reluctantly admitted that Jun Wuhuan might be slightly higher than him. Jun Wuhuan could naturally take over him and do what he wanted to do. But... Nangong Yuyue's handsome face suddenly had a twist, "Jun Wuhuan, if you dare to touch my prey, I will kill you."

Jun Wuhuan said: "The Northern Jin Emperor has long been dead."

Nangong Yuyue smiled cruelly, "Diet? How enough? I said that sooner or later, everyone named Tuoba will die. Speaking of which, I regretted that Shengsheng killed that old guy so easily. If he kept him until now and tonight... it would have been very interesting."

Speaking of this, Jun Wuhuan's expression was a bit ugly.

Nangong Yuyue had a sudden whim and almost killed A Ling.

Seeing his cold gaze, Nangong Yuyue sneered and said, "What are you doing when I look at me like this? Want to fight? Unfortunately, I don't want to fight you tonight." Nangong Yuyue's eyes seemed to be lit, bright and terrifying. Jun Wuhuan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "You can't kill all the people named Tuoba."

Now there are people working with Nangong Yuyue, because they don’t know Nangong Yuyue’s real purpose. Once they know...

Nangong Yuyue smiled and said, "So, senior brother...we are the real allies, aren't we?"

"You have said this to Baili Qinghong, have you?" Jun Wuhuan said coldly.

Nangong Yuyue sneered and said, "To be honest, you young generals of the Apocalypse are also very interesting. He actually had the idea of ​​being able to control the Clan. Who gave him the confidence?" With Baili Qinghong's identity and bloodline, he would never be able to control the Clan. No one can do it, even if Jun Wuhuan came in person, "I have always looked hypocritical all these years. I have always thought about what he wanted to do? Now I know... Could it be that he was driven crazy by Tuoba Mingzhu in those years?"

A Apocalypse man who doesn’t want to destroy the Clan actually wants to control the Clan? It’s inexplicable!

"Are you qualified to talk to others?" Jun Wuhuan said lightly, "Baili Qinghong's chance of winning is indeed not great, but at least it is better than you."

"What do you mean!" Nangong Yuyue said coldly.

Jun Wuhuan said: "What other serious things have you done in the past few years besides making trouble? Baili Qinghong can control the Southern Army silently under Tuoba Liang's nose. With this point... he is much better than you."

Nangong Yuyue snorted and said, "I am not interested in those."

"Is it impossible?" Jun Wuhuan exposed him without hesitation.

Whoosh!

Finally, he couldn't help it. Nangong Yuyue's cold light flashed in his hand and shot at Jun Wuhuan. Jun Wuhuan raised his hand, and he rolled his hidden weapon into his sleeve without falling. He waved it gently, and all the hidden weapons were thrown on the ground. Jun Wuhuan stood up and said in a deep voice: "Nangong, tonight... it's better not to trust anyone." After that, Jun Wuhuan turned around and walked out.
