In the 25th year of the Ming Dynasty, the eastern capital was eclipse, the dynasty was shocked, seven days later, the ground in Guanzhong moved, the earth fire rose to the sky, the fire in Yuzhou was not extinguished for three days, the pieces of tiles did not exist, and the mourning was all over the field.

Since Emperor Ming Yuan ascended the throne, three years of drought, five years of flooding, natural disasters continue, the market has been spreading, Emperor Ming Yuan is the Empress Dowager Zhao cheating, not the first emperor's bloodline, back then, the first five princes Teng Wang was deeply relied on by the first emperor, but suddenly it was rumored that King Teng was hiding a yellow robe in the army, intending to rebel, and this qiē was actually framed by Emperor Ming Yuan, Emperor Ming Yuan in order to hide from the sky and cross the sea, kill his brother and father, and usurp the throne.

Emperor Ming Yuan was furious, the second year of his accession to the throne, the blood flowed endlessly in the mouth of the Dongdu vegetable market for three months, and the rumors gradually disappeared.

Not a day, Si Tianjian Cao Yi risked death to play, saying that the sun and the moon are combined, the five stars are aligned, and the earth in Yuzhou is moving, all because there is a person who mixes yin and yang on the emperor's side, this person is the prince of Liang Cheng, the prince of a country, but he was born with the same body of yin and yang, and he rebelled against the chaos of the heavens, so that the heavens were angry, and the six poles were repeatedly descended.

The prince has been smart since childhood, talented and beautiful, won the emperor's heart, Emperor Ming Yuan has always placed high hopes, heard the words of natural disbelief, ordered the imperial doctor to investigate, the prince did not want to be humiliated, plus he was ashamed, drank poisonous wine, in order to thank the world......

In the lonely and empty prince's bedroom, the prince who should have been self-defeating, but at this time, he wore white clothes, knelt quietly on the soft couch by the screen window, his eyelashes were half drooping, and he looked out the window motionlessly.

There was a scroll of Buddhist scriptures lying on the sandalwood table, and the cold wind hit and raised the corners of a few pages.

A few days will be the birthday of Emperor Ming Yuan, Liang Cheng originally planned to transcribe a pile of "Dazheng Zang" for his father, but at present, I am afraid that there is no chance to present it to Emperor Ming Yuan.

It was the cold midwinter season, and a few pieces of snow leaked into the half-hidden window with the wind, hitting Liang Cheng's long eyelashes, but the person on the couch was like a finely carved cold jade carving, clear and clear, without any reaction, not like a living thing.

Suddenly, a black shadow fell silently behind Liang Cheng, bringing up a few strands of black hair, Liang Cheng smelled a wisp of familiar Du Hengxiang, his eyelashes trembled slightly, he got up and raised his hand, revealing a pale and thin wrist, slowly closed the window sash, and then sat back down.

The black shadow is the eldest princess's widow, Wuyang Hou Meng Liujun, who has always been full of spirits and has a lofty Wuyang Hou, but at this time he looked depressed, he stretched out his hand and was about to attach Liang Cheng's shoulder, but in the end he smiled bitterly, turned his back to his back, clenched into a fist, and said softly: "You hate me?" ”

Liang Cheng chuckled, "At this point, what do you hate or not, it's just blame, I don't know people clearly, and I believe the wrong person." ”

As soon as the words fell, Meng Liujun sat down in front of him, "Liberated slave, all kinds of things today are not what I want, I originally just wanted His Majesty to abolish your position as the crown prince, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, it will be a solar eclipse and the earth is moving, and Your Majesty will actually use you to block it...... The mouth of the world is ......"

The word "slave" is Liang Cheng's nickname, the great Qi worships the Buddha, always loves to invite some monks to pray for the children, when Liang Cheng's Zhou banquet coincided with the supreme meditation, if there is no return from the cloud tour, he also broke the oath of not accepting the mantle in this life, and brought back a small apprentice, Emperor Ming Yuan invited people into the palace, and the Wudu Zen master saw Liang Cheng, so he said, "This son has a life robbery, and he escaped into the empty door or can be solved."

Emperor Ming Yuan respected Wudu Zen Master again, and he didn't like it when he heard the words, but when he turned around, he saw Liang Cheng dragging a string of Buddha beads in the hands of the little apprentice next to the Zen master, and there was a lotus-shaped red stone in the middle of the Buddha beads. ”

As a result, "Shi Nu" became his nickname, and when Zen Master Wudu left, he took out a red stone that was exactly the same as the wrist of his little apprentice and gave it to Liang Cheng, saying: "This is the blood relics of the Zen patriarch in the next life, and the prince wears it every day to support the Dharma, and there may be a turning point in the future." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan was overjoyed, and ordered someone to forge a Xuanjin pendant, and put the blood relics in the meantime, so that water and fire would not invade, and Liang Cheng wore it.

Meng Liujun often called him small characters in private, Liang Cheng didn't think it was wrong, but felt close and warm, after all, as a prince, he could let him unload the prince's demeanor, treat him normally, and there were very few people who fell in love with him, but after the other party betrayed him, he called him "free slave", which only made him feel sarcastic.

Liang Cheng didn't react to what Meng Liujun said, closed his eyes, and looked calm, as if he was in stagnant water, and there was no trace of waves.

Meng Liujun gritted his teeth and said: "Now, the edict has been issued, the East Palace has a normal back, a sense of rebellion against yin and yang, and frequent mutations. ”

The two rows of crow-like eyelashes trembled slightly, Liang Cheng still closed his eyes, but a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat, which was suppressed by him.

"In the eyes of the world, you are already a dead person," Meng Liujun stuffed a small cyan medicine bottle into Liang Cheng's hand, and said: "Your Majesty will never let you live, I am afraid that someone has been sent over to give wine, this is a fake death medicine, you can drink it with poisonous wine, and I will definitely save you." ”

Liang Cheng only felt funny when he heard it, he took out the hand that was being held, let go of the medicine bottle, and looked at Meng Liujun with a pair of clear eyes, "How can the fourth prince let me live?" ”

"I'm not a member of the Four Princes."

"Oh?" The corners of Liang Cheng's mouth twitched, "I ask myself if I am not thin on you, treat him sincerely, even if you break the secret of your body, I have never thought of killing people, not only because you have saved my life, but also because I believe in the love between you and me since childhood, I really can't understand, if it wasn't because you took refuge in the four princes, what would it be?" ”

After Liang Cheng finished speaking, he looked at the other party coldly, Meng Liujun's originally anxious and worried expression gradually turned cold, and turned into a very complex eye, "Do you still remember the limerick that circulated in the Xiangguo Temple case?" ”

Liang Cheng's face changed, the □□ of this dynasty had been ordered by Huijue Zen Master, and avoided three life and death disasters, so the royal family of Daqi has always respected the Shamen, up and down, Daqi Zen Buddhism prevails, every year on the Buddha's birthday, the royal family will pray for the Buddha in the Daxiangguo Temple.

I don't want to, on the birthday of the Buddha last year, the Empress Dowager Zhao was stabbed to death by a poisonous needle hidden in the futon, and two lines of blood-red poems appeared on the Buddha statue.

Emperor Xi is old and mourning, but poor Zhao Nu is not pregnant.

The ancient Buddha of the green lantern is unbearable, stealing rain and dew.

What's worse is that the golden treasure bottle on the Yongning Pagoda suddenly burst, and the white silk with the blood characters written on it scattered like snowflakes and was picked up by many believers.

This limerick poem is vulgar and plain, bluntly saying that the Empress Dowager Zhao is lewd. Random communication. Treacherous, Emperor Ming Yuan is not the heir of the first emperor, I don't know where it came from.

Liang Cheng as the crown prince, although he knows that there is no wind and no waves, there is no wind, but he has never suspected his father, when King Teng was slaughtered, but there are still some remnants of the rivers and lakes, since Emperor Ming Yuan ascended the throne, such rumors have never been broken, I think it is the handiwork of these remnants.

Meng Liujun's mother, Princess Yuehe, was the seventh daughter of the first emperor, and the mother concubine was the first beauty in the world that year. Does this have anything to do with who you are? ”

Meng Liujun stretched out his hand to stroke his cheeks, Liang Cheng frowned and avoided, in the past, they had a close relationship, in private he never called himself "lonely", the two did not call themselves the lord and minister, Meng Liujun was uninhibited, often pretended to laugh at him frivolously, and he never had a grudge because of his indignity and inferiority. Now that the other party is acting like this, Liang Cheng can no longer be calm.

Meng Liujun was not angry when he was avoided, "What the poem says, but it is not fabricated, the Empress Dowager Zhao used a snake to fill the dragon, Liang Zhaochang slaughtered all the princes and grandsons after ascending the throne, and even the princess did not let go, my mother and King Teng have a deep love for brothers and sisters, do you know why he let my mother go alone, and he was honored and favored, and often bowed to visit him?" ”

The eldest princess Yuehe has completely inherited the demeanor of her mother's first beauty in the world, although she is now over forty years old, she looks like a flower letter in her youth, coupled with the luxurious and graceful bearing, the famous and heroic heroes who are willing to be the guests of the eldest princess in the world are only afraid of being as many as the carp crossing the river.

Thinking of his father's gentle and indulgent look at his aunt, Liang Cheng's heart sank, and sure enough, Meng Liujun smiled sarcastically and continued: "Liang thief coveted my mother's beauty, but he couldn't make a move because of his identity, do you know how my father died?" ”

Seeing that Liang Cheng was silent, Meng Liujun's expression was hideous for a moment, "He killed him!" In order to protect me, my mother pretended not to know the truth and committed herself to perfection, you say, how can I not hate? ”

"As soon as the crown prince is abolished, the rest of the princes are competing for each other, I want Liang Zhaochang to betray his relatives and leave, his reputation will be ruined, and there will be no place to bury him!"

Liang Cheng was shocked, and knocked over the inkstone on the case, and before he could say anything, he was grabbed by Meng Liujun's wrist, pulled to his eyes, pinched his chin, and said quietly: "The Nine Emperor Princes and your mother, after you die, he will be the concubine of the Middle Palace, without your protection, he is the same as you, trust me so much, Brother Jun, Shi Nu, you say, how long can he live?" ”

"Meng Liujun!" Liang Cheng said in a low voice, if he wasn't afraid of alarming the guards outside the palace, he would have scolded him loudly, "I have nothing to say about what my father did, but Ji'er is only ten years old, and he is close to you and admires you, and he has never harmed you in the slightest, how can you?!" ”

"Release slave, release slave," Meng Liujun pressed the corner of Liang Cheng's mouth affectionately with his thumb, and exhaled softly: "Only you believe that he is innocent and lovely, the huge palace, where did you come from with pure kindness, pure heart, and your mother who is kind to the Buddha, has ever been sincere to you?" I'm afraid that she has been waiting for the Nine Emperor Princes to grow up, and then let you die violently, and you are the only one, who was taught stupid by the old lady, who abides by benevolence, righteousness and morality, the instrument of a gentleman, and delusions about what brothers, friends, and brothers, and filial piety of fathers and sons, it is ridiculous. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that your mother's foreign family, the Li family, was powerful and left you to cover up for the Nine Emperor Princes, the East Palace would have changed hands long ago. This time your secret is indeed my secret trick, let Liang Zhaochang find out by himself, I originally calculated, Liang Zhaochang will only abolish your crown prince, I don't want him to love you on weekdays, this time I don't miss the love of father and son at all, take you as a fight, and quell the rumors, how about it, do you still believe that the heavenly family has family affection? ”

Liang Cheng did not show sadness on his face, but in fact, his heart was already like ashes, although he did not believe Meng Liujun's provocative words, but he knew very well that what the other party said was not random speculation, Li Houzi was not close to him, did not like him to contact the Li family, and all kinds of pasts were not without traces to follow.

He knows very well that all because he is neither male nor female, confusing yin and yang......

During this period of house arrest by his father, he didn't expect his father to come over to see him, and he could release him from the palace on a trace of bloodline......

That's it.

This body was created by the blood of his father and mother, and now his father wants to take it back and use his life to stabilize the throne, and he should return this grace of life.

Liang Cheng waved away Meng Liujun's hand, got up calmly, turned his back, and said lightly: "As you said, since the queen mother and the Li family can protect me so far, they can naturally protect Ji'er, I advise you to say a word, my father's means are thunderous, sooner or later I will find out about you, stop it as soon as possible, so as not to burden my aunt." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Meng Liujun to react, he shouted loudly: "Someone!" ”

Meng Liujun came secretly this time, naturally he didn't dare to alarm others, and when he saw a sound outside the hall, he could only fly away.

Liang Cheng put the medicine bottle that Meng Liujun left on the desk into his sleeve, and in an instant, the guards of the forbidden army who were ordered to guard Liang Cheng came in, these are all the henchmen of Emperor Ming Yuan, and he is also a first-class master when he goes to the rivers and lakes.

"What does Your Highness command?"

Liang Cheng gestured and asked, "I want to see my father." ”

The guard's face was expressionless, and his tone did not rise or fall without a trace of ups and downs: "Forgive me for being humble, and it is difficult to obey my fate." ”

"Get out!" Liang Cheng shook his sleeves and said angrily: "Get out!" ”

A hint of doubt flashed in the guard's eyes, and he bowed and retreated.

Liang Cheng waited until there was a sound of the door closing outside the hall, then he sat down on the desk, and the medicine bottle in his sleeve rolled out, Liang Cheng looked at it in a daze for a long time, and finally poured it into the blue rack on the side.

After pouring, I caught a glimpse of a line on the Buddhist scriptures.

If I hear it, all the ordinary will be gone, the higher will fall, the union will be separated, and the living will die.

Liang Cheng closed his eyes, in his life, noble and extraordinary, enjoying the honor in front of people, but he lived tremblingly, helpless, like facing the abyss, one wrong step will be doomed, in order not to disappoint the godfather, not to worry about the mother, diligently, on the king's heart, under the subject, benevolence and respect, caution and caution, dare not make a wrong step, there has never been a chic and unbridled moment, in the end...... After all, it was empty.

Liang Cheng's mind gradually drifted away, and there was a sound of "the holy decree has arrived" in a trance, and soon a pair of silver soap boots appeared in front of the bed, and someone said something, but Liang Cheng did not listen to it, and a white jade pot and wine cup were placed on the case, and someone poured a cup of wine for him, which was crystal clear, but he saw blood sealing his throat.

"Your Highness, please."

Liang Cheng stretched out his hand, and there was a gold chain wrapped around his pale and craggy wrist, Liang Cheng was stunned and asked, "Father...... Do you have anything else to say to your father-in-law? ”

"Back to Your Highness, no." The person who came was a little eunuch, and when he saw that Liang Cheng did not move, he was a little contemptuous, and said: "Your Highness still takes advantage of the morning to make the yin and yang of heaven and earth harmonize, if Your Highness does not dare, the slave is willing to serve His Highness." ”

Liang Cheng glanced lightly at this little eunuch who looked like a villain, but he was afraid that out of this East Palace, his father would not let him live again.

This is the palace, human life is like a mustard, even if it is noble, under the throne, there is still only one ant.

The last trace of infatuation in his heart was extinguished, and Liang Cheng raised his head and drank the poisoned wine.

The white jade cup rolled off the soft couch, a touch of blood splashed on the Xuanjin hollow on Liang Cheng's wrist, a red light flashed, the little eunuch didn't have time to take a closer look, the screen window was suddenly blown open by a biting cold wind, goose feathers and heavy snow rushed into the shore, sandwiched with red plums, raised Liang Cheng's black hair, revealing a red lip stained with blood underneath......
