"You can't go!" Bei Gongminhao leaped forward and immediately began fighting with Yi Yunshangcheng!
The two immediately engaged in combat in the courtyard, each gaining an advantage! However, it was clear that Beigong Minhao was no match for Yiyun Shangcheng! Yiyun Shangcheng was ruthless, gathering immense power as she struck towards Beigong Minhao's chest, shouting, "Die! Coward! I'll send you to meet the King of Hell! You've spent your last twenty-seven years in agony, why shouldn't I end your suffering!"
"Delusion!" With a shout, a lightning-fast figure blocked Yiyun Shangcheng's palm strike, and both of them immediately took a few steps back.
Yi Yun Muchen immediately helped Bei Gong Minhao up, "Big brother!"
"Help your elder brother inside!" Bei Gong Jue Shi's heterochromatic eyes coldly looked at Yi Yun Shang Cheng, but he was giving orders to Yi Yun Muchen behind him.
Yi Yun Muchen gritted his teeth, then looked at Yi Yun Shangcheng and Bei Gong Jueshi.
"Please, please don't hit me!" Yi Yunmu cried out, tears immediately streaming down her face.
"What are you doing? Mu Chen, I told you to help your brother inside!" Bei Gong Jue Shi drew his long sword from his waist and glanced at Yi Yun Mu Chen.
Yi Yun Muchen supported Bei Gong Minhao, her cherry lips tightly pressed together, "Peerless..."
Yiyun Shangcheng looked at Yiyun Muchen and smiled, "Muchen, my dear sister, do you still remember your brother?"
"Brother, I beg you, please don't fight Jue Shi, I beg you, I beg you!" Yi Yun Muchen burst into tears, looking at Yi Yun Shangcheng, almost kneeling down.
"Let's go!" Bei Gong Jue Shi turned around angrily and immediately glared at Yi Yun Muchen!
Yi Yun Muchen, with tears in her eyes, remained silent before helping Bei Gong Minhao inside.
"Take my elder brother and Peng'er to Wudang Mountain! I will definitely follow you afterward!" Bei Gong Jue Shi took a step back and looked at Yi Yun Muchen's figure.
Yi Yun Muchen froze for a moment, then quickly helped Bei Gong Minhao into the house.
Bei Gong Jue Shi watched them leave before letting out a sigh of relief. With his longsword in hand, he immediately pointed it at Yi Yun Shang Cheng, shouting, "Why do you insist on harassing us!"
"Because Pengyan is my heir, the future King of the Western Regions!" Yiyun Shangcheng coldly said, "You should understand this relationship!"
"That's wishful thinking! Neither Mu Chen nor I will agree to it!" Bei Gong Jue Shi looked at him. "Haven't you harmed Mu Chen enough before? Haven't you harmed me enough before? I, Bei Gong Jue Shi, haven't avenged the loss of my arm, and I haven't avenged the way you bullied Mu Chen! Today, since that's the case, then let's fight to the death!"
"You are no match for me," Yiyun Shangcheng sneered. "But if you remain obstinate, I will have no choice but to send you to hell! To let you reincarnate as a ghost of hell!"
Bei Gong Jue Shi's eyes burned with endless flames. He had always suppressed the anger in his heart, but today, he came to Yun Shang Cheng himself!
"If it weren't for Mu Chen's constant concern for you, for remembering you as her own brother, I would never have let you die so easily!" After saying this, Bei Gong Jue Shi immediately stepped forward and thrust his long sword towards Yi Yun Shang Cheng!
Yi Yunshangcheng opened his palm, and instantly a black longsword shrouded in purple ink aura appeared in his hand! He gripped the longsword and immediately attacked Beigong Jueshi!
All I could sense were two figures, one black and one blue, moving in mid-air, one above and the other below, one to the left and the other to the right! Their swords were sharp and relentless! At times, the two forces would intertwine, their battles sometimes resulting in victory and sometimes defeat!
Suddenly, the sky darkened, dark clouds covered the sun, and a strong wind arose.
Yi Yun Shangcheng began to gather a powerful force in his hand. Bei Gong Jue Shi's expression became slightly uneasy, but he still used his profound inner strength to block, his movements agile and nimble! He unleashed the potential within his body, determined to kill Yi Yun Shangcheng with his sword!
Right now, both of them are fighting to the death!
Yi Yun Muchen was still worried about Bei Gong Jue Shi, so he immediately saw Bei Gong Min Hao and Bei Gong Peng Yan onto the carriage. When he saw that Bei Gong Min Hao had woken up, he asked Bei Gong Min Hao to take good care of Bei Gong Peng Yan and then urged the coachman to head towards Wudang Mountain.
He turned around and immediately ran into the courtyard.
How could she abandon them? One was her own brother, the other her husband! Yet, she was being forced to kill each other! Was this divine punishment? What had Yi Yun Muchen done wrong? Why was she being punished like this?
When she walked into the courtyard, she felt a strong wind blowing all around her! She immediately covered her face with her sleeve, but when she saw them fighting in mid-air and the light surrounding their bodies, Yi Yun Muchen felt a sense of fear!
If even one person falls, they will surely suffer a fatal injury!
Yi Yun Muchen was terrified, but she didn't know what to do!
Bei Gong Jue Shi was gradually losing ground to Yi Yun Shang Cheng. Yi Yun Shang Cheng's poison was extremely potent, seeping into his longsword. When the longsword clashed with Bei Gong Jue Shi, the sword's edge and sword energy would seep into Bei Gong Jue Shi's body to some extent!
Gradually, Bei Gong Jue Shi lost his balance and fell to the ground!
Yi Yun Shangcheng's crimson eyes darkened, and he immediately struck out with his palm towards Bei Gong Jue Shi, who was falling down!
"No!" Yi Yunmu Chen was shocked and quickly ran up to her. He immediately pulled out the life lock from her sleeve and threw it at Yi Yun Shangcheng!
Yi Yun Shangcheng was startled. By the time she saw who it was, it was too late to stop! Her life lock was swept away by Yi Yun Shangcheng's longsword. Yi Yun Muchen had no intention of stopping her. Instead, he held Bei Gong Jueshi tightly in his arms.
In an instant, the powerful force from Yiyun Shangcheng struck Yiyun Muchen in the back!
"Pfft!" Yi Yun Muchen suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, which covered Bei Gong Jue Shi's body! The blood stained his blue robe red!
"Mu Chen!" Bei Gong Jue Shi shouted, immediately turning her body over and tightly embracing Yi Yun Mu Chen in her arms!
Yiyun Shangcheng stood there stunned, exclaiming, "Sister!"
Blood kept gushing from Yi Yun Muchen's mouth. Her hand groped, trying to grasp Bei Gong Jue Shi's hand, but Bei Gong Jue Shi grabbed her. "Mu Chen, Muchen! Why, why did you do this? Why, why did you take a blow for me! Awooo!" Bei Gong Jue Shi couldn't help but cry out.
"I...I'm sorry...Jue...Jue Shi, meeting...meeting you is...the happiest thing in my life...I...I'm sorry...No, I can't...stay with you...I'm leaving..."
Yi Yun Muchen's left hand was held by his right, while her right hand reached out and rose to caress Bei Gong Jue Shi's face. "No, don't hate...hate my brother, don't...don't avenge me, my brother, he...he's suffering so much..."
Peerless, peerless... I, I... love you...
Bei Gong Jue Shi was already in tears, unable to speak. "Mu Chen, Mu Chen! I love you so much too, Mu Chen! Don't leave me, Mu Chen!"
"Peerless..." Yi Yun Muchen's hand did not touch Bei Gong Jue Shi's face, but it had already fallen down, with a faint smile on his face and his head tilted to one side.
"Mu Chen!" Bei Gong Jue Shi roared to the sky!
Yiyun Shangcheng was stunned. He had killed his only sister! He had actually killed her!
Yiyun Shangcheng retreated, somewhat incredulous, "No, I, the King, will not let you die! Mu Chen, Mu Chen..."
"Don't come any closer!" Bei Gong Jue Shi looked at Yi Yun Shang Cheng, tightly embracing Yi Yun Muchen's lifeless body, his eyes filled with tears as he gazed at Yi Yun Shang Cheng. "King of the Western Regions! Are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied now!"
"No, no!" Yi Yun stepped forward, her face somewhat panicked. She didn't want Yi Yun Muchen to die! It was Bei Gong Jue Shi who should die, not her own sister!
"You, how cruel you are! You are utterly wicked! What did Mu Chen do to deserve such a cruel act!" Bei Gong Jue Shi glared at Yi Yun Shang Cheng, his eyes burning with rage. "You will die alone! I cannot kill you, but there will always be someone who will!"
Yiyun Upper Town remained silent.
Bei Gong Jue Shi lowered her head and looked at Yi Yun Muchen. Her body was getting colder and colder, and the blood at the corner of her mouth was slowly beginning to congeal.
Bei Gong Jue Shi gently and carefully wiped his face with his sleeve. "Mu Chen, wait for me. Hehe, Mu Chen, I love you too, so much."
He looked at her; the blood on her face had already been wiped clean. He smiled, holding Yi Yun Muchen in one arm, while with the other hand he picked up the longsword beside him and instantly plunged it into his own abdomen!
"You!" Yiyun Shangcheng exclaimed in astonishment.
He, Bei Gong Jue Shi, actually committed suicide to die for love!
"The loneliest person is the most pitiful. Sure enough, Mu Chen was right. You are suffering and pitiful! Haha, haha!" Bei Gong Jueshi pulled the long sword out of his body, and blood spurted out immediately. With a clang, the long sword was thrown to the ground!
Blood gushed from Bei Gong Jue Shi's mouth and from his lower abdomen. He held Yi Yun Muchen tightly, his hands clenched tightly around her, and whispered in her ear, "Mu Chen, wait for me. In the next life, let's be a divine couple again..."
A gust of wind blew by, carrying with it the smell of blood.
"Beast!" Suddenly, a furious roar was heard. Yi Yun Shangcheng looked and saw that it was Bei Gong Minhao who was about to stab him with a long sword! Yi Yun Shangcheng waved his sleeve, and Bei Gong Minhao was sent flying like a bird with broken wings, crashing heavily to the ground!
Yi Yun Shangcheng turned his gaze back to Yi Yun Muchen and Bei Gong Jueshi, only to see the two of them tightly embracing each other, inseparable even in the face of death.
It was only a quarter past noon.
Two hours earlier, Tuoba Heyan had gone to court very early. Ji Wushang and Huangfu Jun'an did not get up. Tuoba Heyan waited until the palace maids called Hongfei and Cuiwu to come to Xiuxun Palace to serve and take care of him and his child before leaving. Of course, there were also the events of last night.
The guards and secret agents from last night were all Tuoba Heyan's own men, so naturally they wouldn't reveal what happened without Tuoba Heyan's orders.
Tuoba Heyan slowly walked towards the main hall, but stopped after only a few steps. "Long Yu."
"Your Majesty." Long Yu, who was following behind, immediately stepped forward and bowed.
Tuoba Heyan beckoned, and Long Yu immediately stepped forward. He listened to Tuoba Heyan whisper a few words in his ear, and then watched him make a few hand gestures.
Long Yu immediately nodded and bowed again, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it immediately!"
"We must be quick," Tuoba Heyan said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Long Yu quickly walked outside.
Tuoba Heyan immediately walked towards the main hall.
As expected, many ministers were standing in the main hall, including Grand Chancellor Baili Su, whom Tuoba Heyan had been hoping to see. Tuoba Heyan glanced coldly at everyone; all of them knelt down except for the Grand Chancellor, who remained standing.
Tuoba Heyan walked up to the high seat, then sat down and waved to the eunuch beside him.
"Attend court!" the eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice as soon as he received the instruction.
"Long live the King! Long live the King! Long live the King!" All the ministers knelt down in obeisance.
"No need for formalities." Tuoba Heyan waved for the others to rise, then turned his gaze to Grand Chancellor Baili Su, "Has Grand Chancellor emerged from seclusion to see me?"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The Grand Chancellor simply bowed to Tuoba Heyan.
Tuoba Heyan waved his hand.
At that moment, the eunuch in charge of rolling up the curtain shouted, "Empress Dowager Wang, Consort Ansu has arrived!"
Tuoba Heyan seemed quite surprised to see the arrival of the Empress Dowager and Consort Ansu, but he did not object. Instead, he said, "Offer the Empress Dowager a seat."
The crowd didn't quite understand, but they knew better than to just wait and see.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager glanced at Tuoba Heyan, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes. She immediately sat down in the secondary seat next to the dragon throne, while Consort Ansu stood to the left of the Empress Dowager.
Tuoba Heyan glanced at the officials below the stage, then at the Grand Chancellor, the Empress Dowager, and Consort Ansu, before turning his head and waving to the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch immediately said, "If you have something to say, speak now; otherwise, the court may adjourn!"
"Your Majesty, the Queen was conferred last night, why did she not appear?" a minister stepped forward and bowed.
"The Queen is unwell," Tuoba Heyan said coldly.
"But I heard that last night, the King of the Western Regions broke into Xiu Xun Palace and almost took the Queen away. He said that the Queen was originally the Queen of the Western Regions and should not be the Queen of Qingzhao. Your Majesty, is this true?" Another minister stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I have also heard that Princess Wushang married into the Marquis of Jinnan's household, and her husband later became the Fourth Prince, making her the Fourth Princess Consort. However, three years ago, she suddenly disappeared and became the Queen of the Western Regions. Later, for some unknown reason, she returned to the Prince's residence, still as the Fourth Princess Consort. This matter is very strange, and I urge Your Majesty to investigate it thoroughly." Another minister stepped forward.
"You all know how to say it's hearsay, but how come I haven't heard anything about it?" Tuoba Heyan looked at them coldly. "Don't think that one or two hearsay rumors can force me to submit!"
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true!" At this moment, Grand Chancellor Baili Su finally stepped forward. "Your Majesty, that woman is impure and should not be made queen!"
"Grand Chancellor, how dare you insult my Queen!" Tuoba Heyan stood up, his eyes filled with a fierce and cold glint as he stared at Baili Su. "You will suffer endless punishment!"
"Your Majesty is truly bewitched by that vixen!" This voice belonged to the Queen Mother!
Tuoba Heyan immediately turned to look at the Empress Dowager, "Empress Dowager, you'd better watch your words!"
"Bring the evidence!" Empress Dowager Wang immediately waved her hand.
Tuoba Heyan looked at the newcomer, who was carrying what appeared to be some memorials and documents.
Hurry up, a eunuch brought them over, and Tuoba Heyan opened the memorials and documents to read them.
Inside the Xiu Xun Palace, Ji Wushang felt as if he had slept for quite some time, but he was filled with a thousand worries. Therefore, he woke up immediately not long after Tuoba Heyan left.
