Chapter 282: Palace Change, Disposal
Just when the atmosphere in Zhengyang Palace was strange and the conflict was about to explode, outside the Anwu Gate on the outermost part of the palace, a large group of people were ready to go, and the momentum was soaring.
Instead of stopping the reporting of such an abnormal situation, the generals who were supposed to guard the Anwu Gate opened the city gates, which became an important means to ensure that the news would not be exposed in the slightest.
"Second prince, it's time to do it!"
Among the few people standing in the front row, someone stepped forward and suggested to the second prince Li Yu, who was looking into the palace through the Anwu Gate.
They don't know what Li Yu is still hesitating about at the moment, the arrow has to be sent on the string, even if it is too late to regret it at the moment.
After all, with so many people making such a big noise and making such a gathering and move, even if they retreat now, it won't be long before the emperor will know, and no matter whether the second prince directly does something to force the palace, it is impossible to let it go.
This is especially true of these people, whose wealth and family life and family safety are all tied together, where there may be room for retreat.
"What's going on in the palace?" Li Yu did not give the order to do it immediately, only he knew what he was hesitating at the moment.
"Second prince, the informant reported just now that the crown prince has been shaken and is no longer as firm as before to defend Ye Nianchen. If it goes on like this, under the coercion of the emperor, the prince will definitely make the right choice that the emperor wants, after all, it is absolutely impossible for a person like him to smash the storage position for a woman! ”
The man replied: "Moreover, the informant said, when the emperor was angry and impulsive before. Indeed, he said in public that if the prince still wants to protect Ye Nianchen, then now he will abolish the position of the prince and let the East Palace change hands! However, the emperor didn't say a word about making you the prince, but said that it was a big deal to spend more effort and choose another prince. It can be seen that the emperor never thought of making you the crown prince in his heart, so we don't have any need to hesitate now! ”
"That's right, the second prince, and I heard that before, the emperor intended to pull the Jiang family into the water, and said in public that the pot of poisonous wine for Ye Nianchen was given by our Concubine Jiang. This is obviously an attempt to forcibly detain the Jiang family for poisoning Ye Nianchen. I want to take the opportunity to get rid of my Jiang family together! ”
It was the Jiang family who echoed it, and most of the preparations for forcing the palace this time were wholeheartedly promoted by the Jiang family.
For the Jiang family, now they have become a thorn in the emperor's side, and there is no chance of reversal. It won't be long before the Jiang family will disappear into the long history of the Great Wei Dynasty.
And because of that. Therefore, even if the Jiang family gambles on the Nine Clans, they must help the second prince to ascend to the throne. Only when the second prince becomes the emperor in the future, can the Jiang family completely resolve this crisis and let the glory of the Jiang family continue to last forever!
"You think. Will the crown prince really use Ye Nianchen's life as a compromise to keep his position as crown prince in front of his father? ”
Li Yu finally squeaked, ignoring the things about the Jiang family, but lightly asked about the choice of the crown prince Li Zhi.
A few people on the side didn't know why the second prince still made such a question that he had already answered, but when he was about to answer, he saw a palace man dressed up and hurriedly ran out.
"Second prince, tell me, just now the slave overheard that the prince and the prince promised the emperor that they were willing, willing to deal with Ye Nianchen personally to keep his position as the crown prince!"
Hearing this, Li Yu's hands tightened again, and his whole person changed color.
But he didn't hesitate any longer, and ordered the generals with a wave of his big hand: "The crown prince wants to harm the emperor in order to protect the position of the prince. The soldiers are immediately killed in the palace with the prince to rescue the driver and stop the prince's conspiracy! ”
"Let's help! Qingjun side! Let's save it! Qingjun side! Everyone responded loudly, and for a while, the cry shook the sky, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
The second prince gave an order, and everyone spoke out in unison, rushing all the way from Anwumen to the Forbidden Palace!
And in Zhengyang Palace, there is nothing to know at this time.
"Father...... Please, please think again. I don't know how long it took, but the crown prince Li Zhi finally had to bow his head to the people on the throne and say such a sentence.
Everyone knows that the will of the Holy Mind cannot be violated, and Li Zhi knows even more how ruthless and ruthless his father is, even if it is his own son, there can be no exception for anyone who goes against his will.
After a fierce ideological struggle, his face was no longer as firm as before, and in the face of reality, Li Zhi's insistence became fragile and somewhat ridiculous.
Without absolute power, even you can't protect yourself, so how can you have extra strength to protect others?
Such contradictions and conflicts are difficult to reveal in the body of the prince, who has always been cold and omnipotent, and for a while his whole person looks a little sympathetic.
Ye Nianchen looked at everything in front of her lightly, her eyes became colder and colder, but she didn't say a word, which was completely different from the tough posture she had confronted the emperor before.
The atmosphere was even more strange, and the emperor didn't let people do it immediately at the moment, acquiescing to the prince's words, giving him a little time to think again.
In comparison, of course, he hoped that the prince could solve Ye Nianchen by himself.
In this way, no matter what happens in the future, even if his son regrets it, he can't blame anyone. At the same time, this is equivalent to carving the deepest imprint in Li Zhi's heart, so that he will always remember that no one can go against the will of the emperor in the future, not even the crown prince!
"Nianchen, the proposal I said last time, are you reconsidering it?"
After a while, when the emperor was about to lose his patience, the prince finally opened his mouth to Ye Nianchen again.
His expression carried a kind of goodbye expectation, as if Ye Nianchen's answer could completely affect his final decision.
No one knew what he meant by "that proposal", but it was obvious that it must be about the emotional entanglement between the prince and Ye Nianchen.
Sure enough, hearing this, Ye Nianchen sneered at the moment: "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really changed his mind!" I thought His Highness was different from everyone else, but it was just my own delusion. How to choose in the face of rights, I am afraid that there will be no exceptions in this world! ”
She didn't even mention "that proposal" that the prince had said. Not to mention answering positively, but reprimanding like a gamble.,For the first time, he showed a heart and temper that didn't match the usual.。
All this is normal in the eyes of anyone, after all, in the face of life and death, especially when the original trust is so great that I should not try to change the person who is already in the place of death, it is not normal not to be angry.
"Nianchen......" Prince Li Zhi showed guilt and distress, turned his head to look at Ye Nianchen, and at this moment it was indescribable sadness.
"Alright, Your Highness doesn't have to say anything more. Now that you've made up your mind. So do whatever you want. Anyway, it seems that I will not escape death today, and it makes no difference who dies in whose hands, so why do I have to do anything here to fake my soft heart and kindness? ”
Ye Nianchen didn't look away at the moment, and he didn't even look at the prince anymore. The original proud and calm complexion changed with the prince's attitude. Inevitably, there will be more emotional impulsiveness and loss of control.
"Nian Chen. Why don't you understand my mind until now? Is it true that in your heart, my kindness to you has always been just a hypocrisy? ”
Looked at. The prince is even more painful, whether he loves or hates, there is no need to deliberately hide it at this moment, and there is no need to hold back the words in his heart.
The prince's face was gloomy, and he asked again: "I will ask you one last time, would you like to change your mind and marry me?" ”
These words suddenly made everyone in Zhengyang Palace stunned, they didn't expect the prince to be so affectionate to Ye Nianchen, but it seemed that Ye Nianchen never seemed to appreciate it.
No wonder the prince blindly wants to maintain Ye Nianchen, even when it comes to such a time, he is still willing to give Ye Nianchen another chance to choose under pressure.
The emperor's complexion also changed, and he also understood the situation in front of him, his uncompetitive son not only missed Ye Nianchen in his heart, but what was even more ridiculous was that he had been rejected by others before, but now he still has no heart.
It seems that if Ye Nianchen really nodded his head, I am afraid that even if the prince does not want the position of prince in public today, he will go out to protect Ye Nianchen.
This is the prince's temperament, if it weren't for this, this woman would not be so attractive.
Thinking of his son, both of them were fascinated by Ye Nianchen's daughter, and the emperor's anger was not in one place, but he still forcibly endured it for the time being, because he also knew that if Ye Nianchen didn't nod his head, this woman's life would naturally not need him to take action in person!
He wants to see what kind of choice Ye Nianchen will make with his temperament!
"Your Highness, is this trying to blackmail you?" Soon, Ye Nianchen choked again, and his sneer became more disdainful than before: "Forget it, Your Highness knows that the person I like is Gu Mingyi, so why do you have to force anything at this time?" ”
"It's not a threat, I'm here to save you! Why don't you understand yet? The prince roared in a lost voice: "What's so good about Gu Mingyi, what's wrong with me, why is it worth it for you to lose your life and insist on those useless things?" And you are indifferent to you like this? In fact, as long as you nod your head and agree to marry me, even if I don't become the prince, even if I hand over the seal of the East Palace now, I will definitely protect your safety and not let anyone touch a finger of you! You are more important to me than anything else, why don't you understand my feelings for you? Can't you cherish it at all? Why, why? ”
At this moment, Li Zhi was really out of shape, and the painful despair was much stronger than when he faced the emperor's will before.
Ye Nianchen was slightly stunned, and the madness in the prince's eyes at that moment made her feel unprecedented panic, and she almost panicked.
"I like him, it has nothing to do with whether His Highness is good or not." Soon, she came back to her senses and sighed subconsciously: "I also know His Highness's intentions for me, but feelings are no more than others, love is love, and if you don't love it, you don't love it. ”
After that, Ye Nianchen paused slightly, and finally said: "Many things can be traded, but feelings can't." Therefore, even if I lose my life, I can only say sorry to His Highness. In this life, Nianchen can only live up to His Royal Highness's affection! ”
"You...... You ......" The prince's eyes were red, his hands had already been clenched tightly, and after forcibly enduring the pain and sourness in his heart, he said word by word expressionlessly: "Since this is the case, then I would rather let you be separated from him by yin and yang, than watch you together!" ”
After saying that, Li Zhi suddenly rushed towards Ye Nianchen with an arrow step, raised his hand and slashed at the back of his neck.
This time it was fast and accurate, completely unexpected by everyone, and Ye Nianchen instantly fainted and lost consciousness, and fell directly into Li Zhi's arms.
"Father, don't you want to see your son deal with her personally? Good! Today's retainers will be as you wish! The prince hugged Ye Nianchen tightly, and his tone was frighteningly stiff.
Seeing this, the emperor did not feel the slightest displeasure because of the prince's rudeness, nor did he say a word, but waved his hand to the people below, signaling that the prince was up.
Soon, Li Zhi hugged Ye Nianchen to the seat on the side in public and sat down, as if he was caring for his most beloved treasure, and carefully arranged his slightly messy hair and clothes with his own hands, and every movement was extremely gentle.
"Nianchen, don't blame me, I can't help it." He muttered, half-squatting in front of Ye Nianchen and looking at that face over and over again, as if he wanted to engrave it into his heart: "Don't worry, I won't let you have a little more pain, and I won't be disturbed by anyone from now on!" ”
After speaking, Li Zhi took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a small pill, put it directly into Ye Nianchen's mouth, and fed him some water to take it.
After doing everything, Li Zhi tidied up for Ye Nianchen again, then stood up, put away all the tenderness before, and said to the emperor with an expressionless face again: "Erchen has fed her medicine, and from now on, although she will not die, she will never wake up again!" This is already the limit that Erchen can do, she will no longer bring any trouble to her father, I don't know if my father is satisfied! ”
These words really made the emperor re-examine himself, the emperor.
Soon, the emperor gestured to the chief eunuch and asked the imperial doctor to find out whether Ye Nianchen's physical condition was really as the prince said.
If it is true, then there is naturally no need for him to force Li Zhi to kill a living dead, and besides, such a result is better than expected, and it is estimated that it will be better explained and appeased to the southern Xinjiang side.
Seeing this, the prince did not stop the imperial doctor's examination of Ye Nianchen, he didn't pay attention to anyone, just stood there motionless and looked at Ye Nianchen, full of pity and distress. (To be continued.) )
