Two months have passed, Yishan's body has fully recovered under careful recuperation, Cheng Zheng quietly shush the cold every day, meticulous, he persuaded himself to stay Yishan in order to find out the person behind the scenes, but he couldn't help but miss the time with Yishan, he hated deception the most, but he didn't seem to hate Yishan anyway.

In the past two months, Jinfeng has quietly sent people to keep an eye on Yishan's every move, and has never found any flaws. Cheng Zheng has always been at a loss as to how she is connected to the people behind the scenes, he hopes to find out as much as possible, and at the same time, there seems to be another voice in his heart that does not expect to have clues, he actually began to worry about Yishan involuntarily, worried about what will happen to her when the truth is revealed?

He often tosses and turns at night, the people around him have left him one by one, he is suddenly afraid of losing Yishan, he finds that he likes Yishan's flower tea, likes Yishan's dim sum, and likes to wait for a smile every time he goes home.

I'm right, and I've changed.

But the time has finally come. Cheng Zheng was sent out to Beijing for a few days due to military affairs, Yishan tried to take the opportunity to meet the man in black, and one night, Yishan quietly left Duanhou Mansion and went to an inn, while Cheng Zheng was following from a distance.

In the dead of night, the man in black was waiting in the room, and when he saw that no one pushed the door, he flashed in.

The man in black sat at the table dragging his head, as if he had fallen asleep, and when he heard Yishan come in, he opened his eyes lazily, "I thought you weren't coming." ”

Yishan made lukewarm apologies and said, "My lord has been waiting for a long time. ”

The man in black was displeased, "It's really hard to see you recently, I have waited twice in vain." ”

"My lord, forgive me, I was unwell some time ago, and Cheng Zheng was with me when he was free, I didn't find a chance to see you."

The man in black interjected, "Oh? Is it? Don't even have a chance for the girl to go out? ”

Yishan apologized impatiently, "Your Excellency, forgive me." ”

"I enjoy this process very much, right, I am held in the palm of my hand by Cheng Zheng every day, and I am tempted."

"I didn't." Yishan decisively denied it.

The man in black put a medicine bottle on the table, "Since you don't care about him, that's fine, when he returns to Beijing, put this medicine in his tea." ”

Yishan refused, "What if I say no?" ”

"Yo, you have a long ability, and you dare to refuse me? Or are you in a quandary? Do you dare to say that you have no personal feelings for him? ”

"I just don't know why, he is the only one left among the three major generals of the Yun Clan in the past, wouldn't it be a self-cutting arm for the adults to get rid of him?"

The man in black smiled slyly, "Tempting you, look at the nervousness that makes you nervous." As you said, it won't do me any good for me to get rid of Cheng Zheng, and besides, Xijiang is all his grandfather and father's old subordinates, and he still needs to be in charge of the overall situation. ”

Yishan breathed a sigh of relief, but the man in black sternly stood up, "Why did you frame the eldest princess?" Divide their relationship? Borrow a child to transfer Cheng Zheng's feelings to you? ”

Yishan was a little surprised at first, then turned her head away, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

The man in black looked fierce, "A chess piece, if it has its own thoughts, is not suitable for the battlefield." ”

Yishan was not afraid, "Do you want to kill me?" I am now the second princess, if you dare to touch me, Cheng Zheng will definitely investigate to the end. ”

The man in black waved his sleeves and slapped a palm, "Whether you are the second princess or not, you know it yourself." ”

Yishan fell to the ground and struggled to get up, his tone was still tough, "At least Cheng Zheng thinks it is, the courtiers think it is, and all the people in the world think it is, that's enough." Do you dare to kill me? You killed me, how can you explain it to the world? You sue the world that I'm a fake princess? This year, it's a wedding, a New Year's festival and a festival, it's all a farce? ”

"Not impossible." The man in black was not moved by her, he slapped Yishan, Yishan made a move to resist, but he was vulnerable in front of the man in black, he was caught as soon as he made a move, and fell to the ground with another palm, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood and fainting. The man in black walked towards her, "It's stupid, you dare to fight me if you think you're in a strong position, and if you can't use it today, you can only kill me." ”

As soon as the man in black raised his hand, Cheng Zheng broke in, stabbed at the man in black with a sword, the man in black had a good kung fu, dodged sideways and spun in front of Cheng Zheng, Cheng Zheng had not had time to collect the sword and was grabbed by the man in black, the man in black held it hard, crunched, Cheng Zheng's right hand was already injured, and now he felt that the bones were broken and could no longer be used, so he let go and lost the sword.

The man in black said, "Do you still want this hand?" ”

Cheng Zheng blinked painfully, "If King Xiang wants it, can I say no?" ”

The man in black smiled easily and let go of his hand, lifted the veil, revealing a kind face, it was Xu Qingsong, the king of Xiang, who still looked gentle and tolerant, "Accident?" ”

"Not unexpected." Cheng Zheng replied calmly, he walked towards Yishan, tested that she was still breathing, pulled Yishan up from the ground with difficulty, placed it on the chair, held the painful wrist that was about to be broken, and walked towards Xu Qingsong, "I guess the person behind King Xiang is the emperor, right." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. Xu Qingsong sat leisurely, waiting to speak.

"Pretending to be the princess of a country and hiding from the world, you are the only one who can lead this matter in the court. But I can't think of any reason for you to do this, you are loyal to the emperor, and you will never deceive the emperor, especially when it comes to something as big as the royal bloodline. You have the power of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Yun Clan, do you still need to ask for merit and reward? As the king of Xiang, even if he wants to invite merit, he must fight bravely on the battlefield to kill the enemy, instead of stirring up conspiracies in the court. ”

King Xiang nodded with satisfaction, "You are right, this is my plan and that of the emperor, and it has started since you received the edict and returned to Beijing." Yishan is fake, the eldest princess mentioned yì that you go to pick her up, it is expected, and your assassination in Jiangnan was arranged by me, one is to test your ability, and the other is to promote the relationship between you and Yishan. ”

"Why?" Cheng Zheng was puzzled, what could be more chilling and helpless than now, why did the emperor I served faithfully and my respected King Xiang jointly calculate me? One report and one report, I am deliberately designing others, and I am also being carefully designed by others.

Xu Qingsong told the truth and said calmly, "In order to separate you from the eldest princess." You and the eldest princess are childhood sweethearts, the eldest princess is more and more important, and the power in her hands is getting bigger and bigger, no matter whether you will ascend the throne in the future, your marriage with her is no longer possible. But at this time, if you choose another person to marry you, you must not be willing, if you want you and the princess to be unable to refuse, isn't it a brilliant idea? ”

"Why can't I and I?"

Xu Qingsong replied sternly, "As a member of the Yun Clan, your wife can be anyone, but it must not be a prince!" ”

"What's wrong with the Yun people? The Yun people are loyal to defend the country and are famous all over the world, why can't they? ”

Seeing the way Cheng Zhengyi was speaking, Xu Qingsong shook his head secretly and patiently analyzed, "The Yun clan is dominant, haven't you thought about the consequences?" Could it be that when the old prince was alive, he never taught you to rein in your edge? Do you know why the old prince insisted on going to the western frontier? Because he knows that it is taboo to be a master of high merit. His loyalty to the country can be seen from the sun and the moon, but there were already rumors spread in the city when he was an auxiliary government, saying that the old prince coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, trying to rebel against the king, and it was not easy for him to retreat.

"The soldiers and horses of the Yun clan account for half of the big picture, how many pairs of eyes are staring at us, not letting go of any opportunity that can give us the charge of supporting the army and trying to rebel, we are cautious like walking on thin ice, any mistake will cause trouble, provoke the world's condemnation. The eldest princess is on the throne of the prince, you marry her, if the emperor is okay in the future, if the emperor does not have the intention of easy storage, or if he has not had time to change the world, the eldest princess ascends the throne, and the descendants of the Yun clan will inherit the throne in the future, and the Yun clan will take the royal family and replace it, what does the world say about us? The wolf's ambition is obvious. You said that you are in love, have you ever thought that how many people in the world will think that the Yun Clan's heavy military coercion caused the royal family to have to submit? Then, rumors spread, leaving a reputation for eternity, and the Yun Clan's fierce loyalty was ruined, can you bear to cause such consequences? ”

Xu Qingsong made an impassioned statement, Cheng Zheng listened and sat on the stool, which was obviously beyond his capacity, why did I never think about this, I thought I knew strategy and understood the city government, why did I suddenly feel that I didn't understand anything? I was deliberately pulling the second prince down the throne, pushing Yilin into the court, trying to enjoy the country with her, but it turned out to be wrong from the beginning.

If Yilin is not a prince, but just an ordinary princess, can she marry me like Yishan? It turns out that it is I who has contributed to today's situation! It turns out that the origin of this big conspiracy is actually me! It turns out that I am the one who changed the fate of those of us!

I'm desperately trying to get it, but I've been begging for fish, I'm listening to a joke, is there anything more ironic than that? Is it because I'm from the Yun Clan? If I don't have the blood of the Yun Clan, can I boldly make contributions and gallop on the battlefield without scruples? And then come back with honor, and get married? Yun Clan, an identity I've always been proud of, I've never hated it so much as I do now.

Cheng Zheng was in a trance for a long time, and finally accepted this fact and asked, "The purpose of Yishan is not to prevent Yilin from marrying me. ”

"You think it's that simple." Xu Qingsong didn't hide it, "Anyway, I'm not going to use her anymore, her mission ends here." ”

Cheng Zheng was taken aback, "What do you mean by not being ready to use her?" Are you going to get rid of her? ”

"She already thinks that she has no fear to resist me, and if she stays with her, I'm afraid that she will compete with the eldest princess for the position of prince. Why, you can't like her too, do you? ”

Different from Yishan's veto, Cheng Zheng said firmly, "Yes, I like her, even if she is not a princess, even if she has other plans by my side, but she is my wife, I can't give up on her, beg King Xiang to spare her life." ”

"She is your wife, but she is my pawn, you should know that the pawn that betrays the master cannot be kept, you should be able to understand, your subordinates betrayed you, will you still stay?"

"King Xiang!" Cheng Zheng knelt down in front of him and pleaded, "Just save her life, I don't ask for anything else, is it okay?" This is the last thing I can do for her as a husband. ”

"Go back to the doctor and take a good look at your hands."

Cheng Zheng was noncommittal, gloomy, "This hand can't do what I want to do, can't protect the people I like, and it's useless." ”

Xu Qingsong sighed and said, "I will abolish her martial arts and confine her on the platform, whether you can rescue her in the future depends on your ability." ”

Cheng Zheng kowtowed, "Thank you King Xiang!" "At least there is hope, as long as I can sit on the throne of King Xiang, I can still save her.

Xu Qingsong said earnestly, "This can be regarded as repaying the old prince for his support to me back then." is also a member of the Yun Clan, and you are the main candidate for the next King Xiang, today I have told you everything I can say, how you will act in the future, weigh it carefully. ”

"Thank you King Xiang for your advice!"

Xu Qingsong picked up Yishan and left, "In the past few days, I have found an opportunity to play Princess Yishan's illness. ”

"Yes." Cheng Zheng watched Yishan being taken away, he seemed to understand Yuanxin's feelings of begging him to let go of Menghan and Yingxun, it turned out that his beloved was manipulated by others to live and die, but he couldn't do anything, it was such a helplessness.

Zhenxi Wangfu has been empty, Duanhou Mansion is empty, Cheng Zheng has been alone for days, his eyes are full of injuries, he asked the emperor to defend the western frontier, after handing over the affairs of the capital, he rode a fast horse to the west.
