She sighed and stayed in front of the bed, waiting until he was completely asleep before leaving.

When the Five Poison Array was opened, she cast a spell in the room where Yao'er lived, and I don't know if he saw the miserable situation of the others.

When Emperor Yan left, he didn't tell himself anything, and now that Yao'er was sent back safe and sound, it seems that he still thinks about her in his heart.

Furen had already left, and before leaving, he sent her a lot of supplements for the fetus according to Emperor Yan's instructions. In addition, there is a crystal clear jade pendant.

As soon as Su Zixu touched the jade pendant, a warm current instantly poured into his heart, and he was so comfortable.

She wondered, "What's in here?" She only felt that this jade pendant was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it, so she couldn't put it down in her hand.

"Niangniang, this is a warm jade, which was crushed and remade with the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant. Furen replied with a smile, "The servant heard that when the emperor passed through Moxiang Town, he met a master and cast a spell on the jade pendant, saying that this warm jade can protect the fetus in the womb of the mother, and when the emperor met the assassin, this jade pendant fell to the ground, and it was stabbed by a poisonous arrow for it." ”

What Furen said was true, when Emperor Yan met the Taoist priest on the way back to Beijing, he didn't care about it, but he recognized that the Taoist priest was the person who was in the teahouse that day, and he said the matter of Su Zixu. At that time, I thought that the Taoist priest was talking about the child that Su Zixu was pregnant with, but I believed it to be true, so I took the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant to the Taoist priest regardless of the obstruction.

A day later, the Taoist priest really arrived as scheduled and returned the warm jade that had cast the spell to him.

If it was before, Emperor Yan would not have believed these things, and would have punished those people for the crime of bewitching the public with evil words. But three years ago, he began to believe.

Su Zixu was stunned, not long before Emperor Yan left the palace, the harem concubines sent him a lot of talismans, she gave him a Nine Dragons jade pendant, which can be regarded as the return of the object to the original owner, but I didn't expect Emperor Yan to be injured because of it, and now this thing is back in his hands.

She thanked her a few times, saw that Furen had left the palace, raised her eyes and asked, "How is the Liu family?"

"Queen Liu is sick, and the emperor has been handling political affairs in the Yangxin Palace, and asked Gonggong Fu to send a lot of things to Kunning Palace, which can be regarded as comfort. ”

"Sick. Su Zixu muttered, Liu's illness is really strange. I don't know how Emperor Yan will deal with the affairs of the harem when the affairs of the previous dynasty are dealt with.

As soon as Emperor Yan returned to the palace, he cleared the harem and replaced them with his own people, and the original hundreds of guards all disappeared silently overnight, and no one noticed.

The harem returned to its former appearance, it was peaceful, Su Zixu accompanied the three princes to frolic in the house for two days in a row, and the people in the nine gates all withdrew, and only Liuli was left with one available person, and he didn't know much about the things outside.

She didn't care, and devoted herself to taking care of the third prince and the fetus in her womb. That night, not long after dark, Su Zixu's sleepiness struck and he rested early.

At night, she was awakened by a noise, and through the half-open window, she saw the fire not far away, and she shouted a few times, but no one answered. casually took a coat and draped it on his body, and saw that all the palace maids who were serving him gathered at the door of the hall, looking at the strange appearance in the distance.

She hurriedly walked to the side hall with her feet up, but she didn't see the figure of the third prince, and she shouted a few times but didn't respond, and she was immediately panicked.

Seeing a little palace maid walking towards her, she asked loudly, "What's going on outside, Yao'er? Did you see him?"

The little palace maid was frightened, and then she found out that the third prince was missing, and said tremblingly: "The slave doesn't know, she was still here just now." ”

Su Zixu was sullen, scolded a few words, and then gave an order, and all the palace maids scattered, carrying lanterns to search for the three princes in the surviving palace.

After a while, a palace maid ran to her panting, her chest trembling: "Niangniang, it's not good, Prime Minister Yuan Cheng forced the palace to rebel, and the three princes are now in their hands." ”

Su Zixu's face was frightened, and he was uneasy in his heart, and after asking where Prime Minister Qingyuan was, he hurriedly ran to the palace gate despite the obstruction of the palace guards.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, a group of elite soldiers of the imperial city stood in an orderly manner, and Prime Minister Yuan and his party were surrounded in a small circle.

A military general beside him grabbed the neck of the third prince with his left hand, raised his sword against it with his right hand, and held hostages to prevent them from approaching.

Emperor Yan turned his back to her, she couldn't see the appearance on his face clearly, and took a few steps forward, and Emperor Yan's cold voice came into everyone's ears: "Aiqing, I think I treat you well, why do you want to force the palace to rebel?

The emperor's tone was as cold as ice in winter, and his eyes like an eagle swept past him, and the high-spirited Prime Minister Yuan looked depressed, and after a while, he looked at each other unexpectedly.

He smiled disapprovingly: "Your Majesty, if you become a king or lose a king, it is useless to talk more, since the old minister has committed a heinous crime, he wants to kill or chop, and he will listen to it." ”

The matter of today's ** palace is a gamble, betting on the luck of his Yuan family for a hundred years. If it is done, it will remain in the name of the eternal and be admired, and if it is defeated, it will be pointed out by thousands of people, leaving behind the accusations of eternal crimes.

He eventually lost the bet, but he didn't regret it. Even if he didn't take this step today, he still couldn't keep the head on his neck, instead of panicking all day long and waiting for the emperor to surrender, it was better to fight back and die.

So far, he has nothing to say.

Emperor Yan evoked a sneer, glanced at the third prince, and said, "Aiqing has been planning for a long time, and I can't keep you if I commit the following crimes." If you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I can open the net and let it fall lightly. ”

Prime Minister Yuan sneered, snatched the third prince from the general's hand, pinched his neck, and looked at Emperor Yan vigilantly.

Seeing this, the surrounding guards slowly stepped forward and took a few steps closer to them.

He strangled the neck of the third prince, and said as he stepped back: "Your Majesty, if you force Weichen again, Weichen will not be polite." ”

If he hadn't caught the third prince over, the emperor probably wouldn't have spoken to him so calmly. This hostage, right to go.

"Aiqing, why are you so troubled? I don't want to embarrass you. Emperor Yan's words showed helplessness, although Prime Minister Yuan made a mistake, but he did not make up his mind how to deal with him, he didn't expect that he himself had come to this point, and he still did not repent, and the love of the monarch and the minister had disappeared at this moment.

Prime Minister Yuan laughed a few times: "Your Majesty, Weichen has served by your side for many years, don't you still know you? If you let go now, there will be no way to live." ”

The bloody lesson of the Su family is in front of him, how can he be stupid to believe the emperor's words in its entirety.

He has been an official in the court since the first emperor was still alive, and he watched the emperor in front of him control the court situation step by step and play politics, but he has never been able to understand his mind. But one thing is certain, as long as he threatens the imperial power, he is left with only a dead end.

The emperor is far-sighted and will not let him and the Yuan family go. At this point, there was no turning back.

Fortunately, he had already prepared for the third prince to be secretly brought out of the palace as a life-saving straw for himself. Otherwise, he would have been guillotined now.

The third prince's face was flushed, tears were pouring down, he was about to lose his breath, fluttering his legs, and shouted weakly: "Father... Father......
