The blood gradually dissipated. When the execution was carried out, it was difficult to hear his loud shouting and reciting Zhou Lu in the prison room, but Yang Xiushen's tone was still there. Although he was dying, he had more breathing and less breathing. He was as angry as a fucking spring, his bones were still hard, and his ribs had already been broken by more than a dozen.

Yang Xiushen had never participated in the Grand Court Examination. He entered the court through an ordinary imperial examination and worked diligently for many years to gain appreciation from the Holy Empress, and directly made him a civil servant in the palace. In everyone's eyes, he should be grateful to the Holy Empress for his kindness. However, he still did his own duties quietly and recorded everything that happened in the palace as before.

It was not until the fall of the fourth year after the National Education College massacre that he suddenly submitted a memorial.

This memorial was written by Zhou Tong, and finally criticized the Holy Empress.

The Holy Empress was very unhappy and put him in Zhou Prison. He suffered countless tortures in prison, but in the end he survived and came alive. Finally, he was pardoned, released, and transferred to the Ministry of Rites.

That was about ten years ago.

Ten years later, he was imprisoned in Zhou Prison again. This time, no colleagues in the court shouted for him again. The Holy Queen Mother seemed to have forgotten his existence.

Zhou Tong looked at the bloody body lying on the grass through the fence. He squinted his eyes and looked for a long time before he confirmed that he was his biggest enemy back then.

"Mr. Yang is indeed a loyal man. After so many punishments, he still refuses to say a word."

Zhou Tong said: "But you are not the only one who knows what happened back then."

Hearing his voice, Yang Xiushen moved hard on the hay.

"Doctor Sun spoke." Zhou Tong stood up and walked out of prison with his hands on his back: "I'm here today, just saying goodbye to you."

Hearing this sentence, Yang Xiushen's body collapsed and then suddenly relaxed.

He has been persisting until now, and finally has a reason not to persist. Of course, this does not mean that he will say something, it just means that he can rest.

In the gloomy and dark prison room, the sound of carrying heavy objects was heard. More than ten sacks filled with sand were moved in by officials of the Qing Office and then pressed on Yang Xiushen.

At the beginning, Yang Xiushen's body would move a few times, making a vague sound. Finally, his voice became lower and lower until it stopped.

The dirty, almost coagulated blood overflowed from his eyes and nostrils, unable to breathe anymore, but he was still open.

Even if he dies, he will still keep his eyes open and tightly, as if he wants to see if there is any way of heaven and justice in this world.

The autumn sun sets in the courtyard, and there are no flowers on the crabapple trees, and they are still beautiful.

Zhou Tong stood under the crabapple tree, his face looked slightly pale, probably because he hadn't seen much sunshine for many years.

An official from the Qing Office stood behind him, feeling that his body and mind were both cold, and even the sun could not warm him up.

An imperial official died in Zhou prison like this.

Logically speaking, this is a very normal thing. Similar things have happened many times, but this Qing Lishu official is Zhou Tong's most trusted subordinate. He has been following him for decades. He knows that this time is different from before. In the past, the court officials who died in Zhou prison have not been judged normally. Logically speaking, it is seriously violated Zhou's law, but it does not violate the will of the Queen of the Holy See.

The Holy Queen Mother didn't want to see those officials again, so those officials would die silently.

But this time it was different. He knew very well what Lord Zhou Tong was investigating privately. The Holy Queen Mother was not aware of it, nor did he know about Yang Xiushen's death.

He looked at Zhou Tong, his eyes fell on the bright red official robe. He did not see the endless sea of ​​blood, and the surging evil intentions, but he vaguely felt an uneasy or even fear.

Why did Lord Zhou Tong do this? He risked the empress's anger and secretly torture so many people. What did he want to know? What was he afraid of?

...

...

If the black robe is the person with the most secrets in this world, then Zhou Tong can be said to be the person with the most secrets in this world.

To him, the secret seems to be like gold, silver and treasures, or power and status. The more the better, the more he can feel the safer he can feel.

Since a year ago, he began to try to discover the secrets of Chen Changsheng, but unfortunately he has not made much progress. The only progress was forced to stop because he was connected to the palace and was very likely to discover the secret of the Holy Queen. But no one knew that he had been secretly investigating.

He was the one who initially suspected that Chen Changsheng was Prince Zhaoming. The rumor that suddenly became popular in Kyoto last year was originally deliberately released by him.

This is the secret he wanted to know the most.

He had just had this kind of conjecture at the beginning, but could not be sure because there were many difficult things to understand.

If Chen Changsheng was really the Prince of Zhaoming, why did Shang Xingzhou send him to Kyoto and to the Empress?

The most dangerous place is the safest place?

Moreover, Chen Changsheng and Prince Zhaoming's age are not as good as the ones, on the contrary, the little guy named Yu Ren can match it.

When it is true, it is true and false?

Everyone who has seen Chen Changsheng said that he is precocious, calm and calm, unlike a teenager.

Before Meilisha died, she was still watching the time scroll.

Many clues were summarized in this courtyard where crabapple flowers bloomed, and countless details gradually intertwined and formed in his mind.

Finally, these all point to an incredible inference - Chen Changsheng is Prince Zhaoming, and his age was forcibly changed by the Time Scroll.

This conjecture was too wild and incredible, and he still couldn't believe it, so he continued to investigate secretly.

But he checked through the secret files in the palace but found nothing. He secretly detained many people involved in this matter back then, including the Wenpo, who delivered the baby, and the old people from the Imperial Medical Office who had already retired and returned home. It was not until today that he finally confirmed that when Prince Zhaoming was born, the sun wheel in his body had collapsed.

If it were just this discovery, he would not move him, because he knew that the Holy Queen Mother had made an extremely vicious vow when she was against the will of heaven and changed her fate and sacrificed to the starry sky. She was destined to die alone, so she naturally could not leave any rebirth. Before the faint but irreversible way of heaven, Prince Zhaoming would of course die.

But a few days ago, he saw the secret letter between Tianji Pavilion and the Imperial Palace and learned another secret.

Chen Changsheng is a member of the royal family, and he is sick. His illness originated from the sun wheel in his body when he was still in the womb.

Just like Prince Zhaoming.

Zhou Tong began to feel uneasy and even fear.

If Chen Changsheng is really Prince Zhaoming and he is still alive, what does that mean?

This shows that the Holy Queen Mother’s destiny and change her fate did not completely succeed!

As long as Chen Chang lives, the Holy Queen Mother may be backfired by the way of heaven!

If this matter is exploited by opponents hidden in the dark, can the Holy Queen Mother continue to sit on the throne?

Zhou Tong knew very well what kind of miserable ending she would face if the Empress lost power.

He is also loyal to the Empress, but he is different from the divine generals such as Xue Xingchuan. Those divine generals have their own troops. If the Chen royal family regained the throne, in order to stabilize the situation, as long as the divine generals are willing to change their ranks, they will never be attacked, at least for several years, there will be no problems.

But no one will allow him to live.

Everyone knows that he is the most loyal and craziest dog of the Holy Queen.

He had bitten too many people to death for the Empress and carried too much blood debt.

He doesn't want to die.

Even a dog has the desire to survive.

How to solve this problem? It seems very simple, just as many people think, the Holy Queen Mother only needs to kill Chen Changsheng.

In the eyes of everyone in the world, the Holy Queen Mother is extremely cruel and doesn't care about these things at all.

But Zhou Tong followed the Empress for many years and knew that the legends among the people were not completely true.

The Empress does not have a bloodline. Princess Pingguo was adopted, but how could she ever suffocate her son to death with her own hands?

After all, the Empress is a woman. What if she really finds that Chen Changsheng is her biological son, what should she do if she feels soft-hearted?

You cannot be soft-hearted, you cannot ignore the way of heaven, and you cannot take risks!

Zhou Tong's face became paler and paler, and his red official robe trembled slightly, causing bloody waves in the early autumn sun.

"Let me share the worries for the Empress."
