The snowflakes are falling.

The tea is warm and cool.

After sending off Gongsun Yue, the prince stood up alone and walked towards the courtyard wall, and the two maidservants standing outside the heavy snow held umbrellas for him, and the three of them crossed the long corridor.

Today, the palace is very lonely.

The huge palace was tortuous, and he waved his hand to dismiss the maidservant.

Walking alone without an umbrella.

The prince passed by the attic where he often went in for the night, and the attic with the portrait of red dew hung in it, and also passed by the east wing, which was now empty, and he walked all the way east.

During the reign of my father, there were four speakers in the palace.

The third brother died in Changling, and the one on the west side of the palace also went with the swallowing of medicine, and the struggle for imperial power was the moment when the dust settled...... A lot of people will die.

Fierce sword battles, fierce tide burning.

And the moment when death comes is often silent.

Fate makes people, his mother did not wait for the day of "raising her eyebrows", she has been ill for a long time, and she has not lived a good life.

Now there are only two left in the palace.

Suhua Niangniang has always been quiet, never cause trouble, the prince is not a murderer, after completing a certain transaction, he gave Suhua Palace purity and freedom, the Niangniang did not leave the palace, returned to southern Xinjiang, and still lived a life no different from the previous twenty years.

Now the prince is going somewhere else.

It is "East Palace".

Somewhat ironic, this East Palace, not the East Palace.

It's the second brother's East Palace.

......

......

The three dragons seized the heir, the east and the west wrestled, the prince, as a wreck in the eyes of the world, was despised by the two younger brothers, and the queen mother in the palace naturally did not have the slightest right to speak.

Li Baijing once had monstrous power, holding two realms of bull's ears, and pressed the three princes to the point of breathing.

And that time.

It was also the time when Qi Yu, the "Niangniang of the East Palace", was at his strongest, and everyone thought that it was a sure fact that His Majesty would abolish the reserve and establish a new monarch.

And after the galostics.

Everything passed...... "East Palace" became the biggest joke.

But surprisingly, Li Baijiao did not retaliate, he did not cut off any of the henchmen in the temple in the east, nor did he embarrass Qi Yu Niangniang, on the contrary, he occasionally came here.

The prince didn't knock on the door, and walked in directly.

Deep in the Pavilion.

The door was locked.

Qi Yu locked himself in the deep palace alone, not coming out all day long, every time the prince came to the "East Palace", he would eat closed-door soup, this lady has been strong all her life, and she still maintains stubbornness until now, before she met with the prince, her words were provocative, just to provoke Li Baijiao.

But the prince was not angry, and even a little indifferent, looking at Qi Yu like a clown jumping off the beam.

Three years later.

The Spring Breeze Pavilion is scattered, and the Great Sui is back on track.

Qi Yu saw the prince's "terrifying city" and knew that his son had lost unjustly, so he no longer played those small tricks that were not on the table, but he no longer met with the prince.

"Your Highness, Qi Yu hasn't eaten for two days. ”

The servant girl who served outside the pavilion bowed, but she didn't even call the word "Niangniang".

The prince glanced at Neili through the wooden window, expressionless, and then frowned and glanced at the maidservant.

He slowly left the East Palace without saying a word.

A dark shadow followed from the courtyard wall.

The prince commanded softly: "Let your people feed Qi Yu something, don't let her starve to death." You're looking for that handmaiden?"

The dark shadow held up an umbrella.

His face is quite handsome, and he is even three points similar to Li Baijiao, but his height is more upright, and he doesn't look sick.

The young man smiled: "I heard that Qi Yu is used to being domineering in the palace, so I found a lowly little girl in the Taoist temple to treat her, but I didn't expect her to be a little angry, so she stopped eating." ”

The prince stopped.

Some snippets come to mind.

Temples...... Bewilders...... The newlyweds in the palace......

The prince said expressionlessly: "Ah Shou, since it's not from the palace, let's throw it back." I don't like people like that. ”

The young man who was called "Ah Shou" by the prince looked a little ugly, and he whispered, "Just let Qi Yu go like this? ”

Li Baijiao looked meaningfully at the young man holding an umbrella for himself.

He said softly: "There are some accounts, but they can be counted or not, so there is no need to calculate them." Ah Shou, look farther. ”

The man holding the umbrella was stunned.

"What I want you to do? The crown prince spoke, "The 'shadows' left in the palace by Gongsun Yue must be cleared, and this matter can only be done by you, so I can rest assured." ”

"That's it. ”

Ah Shou said softly: "I brought the dead from Xiling, you can rest assured...... When will you do it?"

"Get the list first, don't rush to move him. ”

The prince shook his head lightly, "Gongsun Yue's hand is stretched too long, you can give me a warning, don't hurt him." ”

Ah Shou watched the prince go away in silence.

"Ning Yi—"

He suddenly reported a person's name, quickly followed the prince, and asked irritably: "Ning Yi has come to Tiandu, what do you want to do?"

The prince paused slightly, and said expressionlessly: "You don't need to ask me about this matter again." You come into contact with him, what to do, do it. ”

......

......

"Bang bang—"

"Mr. Ning—I want to meet you!"

The voices outside the door are not unfamiliar.

On the contrary, very familiar.

Chen Yi!

Ning Yi and Xu Qingyan glanced at each other, and they both heard the voice of the comer, but there was anxiety in these words...... What happened?

Ning Yi opened the door, a young man in a linen robe sat down quickly, Chen Yi glanced around the room, and found that the wine jar was crooked, and both of them had a little crimson...... His eyes were surprised, but he suppressed his curiosity, now was not the time for small talk.

Chen Yi looked at Ning Yi and said straight to the point: "I have been staying in Taiqing Pavilion during this time, Su Mu patrolled, and told me that you had entered the heavenly capital, so I sneaked out." ”

Ning Yi handed Chen Yi a glass of water and signaled him not to be in a hurry and drink it slowly.

He had never seen the Pope in such a hurry, and he still looked embarrassed.

"Sneaking out?" Ning Yi frowned and asked, "You are the Pope, why do you have to do this?"

The three of them sat in the house.

Chen Yi was alone with tea, drinking water slowly, his face was not good-looking, and he seemed to be thinking about how to explain to Ning Yi.

Qing Yan sat on the side with Ning Yi, she looked at the side face of the person next to her, and sighed softly.

Xu Qingyan explained: "Mr. Chen Yi has been in seclusion in Tiandu for half a year. ”

Ning Yi was stunned.

"A new round of reform has taken place in the Xiling Pope, although the Pope has not been abolished, but the elders in the Sanqing Pavilion have changed their forces, and the prince has supported a young man named 'Li Changshou' to take office. Xu Qingyan said slowly, "He is a descendant of a certain prince in the Red Breeze River, and he also has imperial blood in his body." ”

"Li Changshou was ordered to be the elder of the small pavilion of the Sanqing Pavilion, suppressed the old party, and collected several mountains including the Zixiao Palace of the Taoist Sect, and the day of the incident was the day when Chen Yi went to Tiandu. Xu Qingyan's beautiful eyes had a complicated expression, and he said: "The Great Wall in the north has changed drastically, the prince has drawn troops to support, Xiling Flying Sword has gone away, Li Changshou has led the order to Zixiao Palace to complete the takeover of Sanqing Pavilion, and since that day, Chen Yi has not returned to Xiling." ”

Ning Yi frowned.

This kind of information is obviously beyond the reach of Shushan...... Only the close attendants beside the prince could know that the upheaval in Xiling was so calm, and from the outside world, not even a single wave was felt.

The senior sister lives in the west, and there is only a Great Wall separated from Xiling.

Three-two-seven, with a keen sense of smell, didn't even catch the sound of the wind.

The crown prince sitting in the imperial city of Tiandu...... It's really like a chess player with a wisdom pearl in his hand, falling one chess piece after another in the world of the Great Sui, the "Spring Breeze Pavilion" under his command is still intangible, I don't know how many characters will emerge overnight, and where he will be thrown.

This is a ruler who has a different style from Taizong.

The prince has been "cultivating and recuperating" in Tiandu for three years, and under the calm on the surface, the turbulent waves of the inner power have been calmed down several times, and the dangers are up and down.

After this unloading-

Chen Yi naturally can't go anywhere, he can only stay in Tiandu, according to the severity of the liquidation, he is also the old party, if he returns to Xiling, it will be to let Li Changshou fish and meat.

"I stayed in Tiandu to survive. ”

Chen Yi, who was holding the teacup with both hands, stared at Ning Yi and said, "Li Changshou is an extremely militant who likes force...... The reason why the crown prince will use him is because the situation between Tiandu and the eastern border is becoming more and more tense, and if there is real friction, the solution of not using the forces in the territory is the best way. ”

Ning Yi groaned, remembering the prince's layout several times.

Lingshan.

Taoism.

These two major sects are indeed the best means to attack the eastern border...... If it weren't for the negotiation between himself and the prince in Dongtu, it was confirmed that Buddhism would not be the backing of the second prince, then if you want to start a war, you must go all out of Taoism.

This is the reason why the prince fell half a year ago-

"Mr. Ning, now I have lost power. The Taoist Sect didn't touch me, just because he hadn't found a suitable replacement yet. Chen Yi shook his hair, took off the back hat of the hemp robe, and said with a solemn face: "Li Changshou is not a tolerant person, and now that I have lost power, it is likely that you will be involved." ”

Ning Yi narrowed his eyes.

He is an excellent friend of Chen Yi.

When he was weak, Chen Yi helped him several times.

Xiaoyu Lane was relieved, it was Chen Yi.

The lotus dojo interceded, it was Chen Yi.

In the battle of Tianhailou, it was also Chen Yi who persuaded the prince to break the barrier in the Lizheng Palace.

This loss of power, many people around Chen Yi will be implicated......

Ning Yi suddenly understood what Jiuquanzi meant by what he said to himself in Shushan.

I am afraid it will not be easy to meet the prince this time.

And the new magnate named Li Changshou is the prince's pawn, and it is also a knife that the prince wants to try to see if he is sharp enough.

If you hadn't talked to yourself about the "Taiping Solution" in Lingshan.

Then Xiling Daozong is the prince's knife that stabbed to the east.

Li Changshou and himself are both pawns in a sense.

Ning Yi took a sip of tea lightly and said softly: "It's okay, you just need to recuperate." Don't worry about anything else, I'll take care of it. ”
