"Your Majesty is angry. Xiao Mingxu was shocked, and when he heard the tone, he seemed to be a little angry, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Well, get up. Emperor Jing waved his hand, sighed, and said, "You can step aside for the time being, and I will talk to the emperor." ”

The eunuchs and maids in the hall retreated one by one, and Xiao Mingxu didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to sit quietly and wait for the emperor to speak.

"Listen to Your Majesty's teachings. After waiting for a long time and not seeing the emperor speak, Xiao Mingxu took the initiative to break the silence.

"Xu'er, you are the most important of all the princes. Emperor Jing was still leaning on the bed, but the letter in his hand was always tapping lightly on the table.

The retainers were terrified. When Xiao Mingxu heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground. He said, "Please reprimand your majesty." ”

"There are no kings and ministers in the temple today, only fathers and sons. Emperor Jing suddenly got down from the bed, walked slowly in front of him, gently lifted the person on the ground, and said, "You don't have to stick to the emperor's gift today, I am your father, and you are my son." Oh, by the way, it's like our father and son talking. ”

"Wow. Emperor Jing's unconventional approach vaguely made Xiao Mingxu twitch, and for many years, he didn't think about it.

"By the way, how is your illness? I heard from the imperial doctor that I committed it again not long ago?"

"Thank you father for your concern, the child's illness is afraid that it cannot be cured, and I have been used to it for so many years, so let it be fate. Xiao Mingxu's eyes flashed with a gloomy color, and he had seen countless famous doctors, but he couldn't even find the root cause, how to treat it.

"Don't worry, my father will definitely let them find out the source of your illness, I'm old. Regarding his son's illness, he naturally knows in his heart that for more than ten years, countless imperial doctors have been helpless, and he can only be relieved now.

"My father is in the prime of life, and as the son of heaven, he will surely live with heaven and earth. ”

", is it still a human being who lives with heaven and earth, that's a goblin. Emperor Jing walked around the palace and said: "Long live, everything is bullshit, and it is Wang Ba who can live for 10,000 years." ”

"Father, why are you so pessimistic?"

Emperor Jing took out a piece of silk cloth from his bosom and said, "Come, look at this." ”

"What is this?" Xiao Mingxu took it suspiciously, unfolded it gently, and was shocked when he saw the content on it, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done." ”

"Hmm, why?" Emperor Jing was somewhat surprised, knowing that this represented supreme power.

"My father was upright, and I can only grow stronger and stronger under my father's leadership. Xiao Mingxu's heart was shocked, but he didn't dare to accept what was written above.

"You are the most favored of many princes, don't you want to inherit the emperor? Emperor Jing grabbed the edict in his hand and said, "I have already used the seal, and from now on you will be my Prince Chen." ”

"Your Majesty, my sons are terrified. Thank you for your majesty's love. Xiao Mingxu knelt on his knees and bowed: "I also hope that Your Majesty will take back your life, and the sons will be embarrassed by this great responsibility, but I am afraid that in the end, the century-old foundation of Dachen will be ruined." ”

"You know, that's something that many people dream of. Emperor Jing seemed to grit his teeth when he said this, his eyes glared at him angrily, and said, "I let you make this choice by yourself today." ”

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for the rechen to obey his fate. The third prince, Xiao Mingxu, slowly stood up, held the edict in his hand, and slowly walked to the charcoal stove. The hand holding the edict was held tightly and opened it easily, allowing it to slide down the fingers.

"Do you know what you burned?" Emperor Jing slapped his hand on the table, watching the edict, a symbol of supreme power, turn to ashes.

"Father, please choose another virtuous one, and your son has no regrets. Xiao Mingxu knelt on the ground very calmly, his face relieved.

"Oh, you, you. Emperor Jing trembled and pointed at Xiao Mingxu, but finally landed on his shoulder, patted it gently, and said, "If you are too merciful and forbearing, you will harm yourself." ”

"Erchen knows that he is unable to take on this important responsibility, so he doesn't want Chen Qianqiu's foundation to be destroyed in the hands of Erchen. Xiao Mingxu knew in his heart that he was indeed not suitable to be an emperor, not to mention that he was sick, and he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the flattery of the yang and the yin.

"Do you know that what you just did saved your life? Emperor Jing took out the secret letter from his arms, slowly handed it to him, and said, "Take a look, take a good look." ”

"Your Majesty, this ......" Xiao Mingxu only frowned slightly after reading the secret letter, and said, "Such a rebellious thing, Erchen will definitely not do it." ”

"I believe in you. Emperor Jing dragged the letter in his hand, threw it into the charcoal furnace, and said, "The battle for the storage position is the thing I am most worried about, but it has happened. ”

"Your Majesty can choose a wise man to enter the East Palace, so as to calm the hidden crisis as soon as possible. ”

"What I'm afraid of is the battle for the throne, the gap between the monarchs and the ministers, and the struggle between the princes and the princes, which is the biggest hidden danger of Da Chen Guozuo. ”

"What does Your Majesty want to do?"

"What will be counted. When Emperor Jing said this, his eyes swept over Xiao Mingxu's cheeks and said, "I'm going to wronged you." ”

"For the sake of the great Chen foundation for thousands of generations, the sons are willing to obey the dispatch of His Majesty. ”

When Chen Yichen and the others arrived at Cuiling Mountain, it was already late, and there was still a day's journey from Luancheng in Kyoto.

"Phew. Commander Wu parked the carriage in the courtyard of the Cuiling Post Station, lifted the curtain, and said, "Get off." ”

"Cuiling Station. Xiao Zichen got out of the car, stretched slowly, and said, "I'm finally about to arrive in Kyoto, and I'm going to die all the way." ”

"How far is it from Kyoto?" Chen Yichen jumped out of the carriage, turned around and gently helped Li Wanwan down, his eyes looking around at Cuiling Station.

There are two soldiers at the door of Cuiling Station, the whole yard is not too big, except for a few tall horses, there is only this carriage left, it seems that there are not many officials in the past.

"This is the last post station from Kyoto, and by this time tomorrow we will be standing on the streets of Kyoto. "The injuries on Xiao Zichen's back have improved a lot, and basically there is no big impact.

"The last stop?" Chen Yichen listened to him, and took a closer look at the layout of Cuiling Station again, and the illusion in his heart was completely shattered.

In the past few days from Mocheng to Kyoto, he has been trying to escape, and all the places chosen by Commander Wu along the way are post stations. If you want to escape at the post station, how can it be so easy. Now I really regret that I didn't learn some light skills of flying eaves and walking on walls. Before arriving at Cuiling Station, there were still some fantasies, but I hoped that I would not live in the post station today, and the result was ......

"Brother Chen, let's go. Li Wanwan looked at his thief's eyebrows, saw through his thoughts at a glance, and said in a low voice: "I think it's better to forget it, and I'll talk about it when I get to Mocheng tomorrow." ”

Commander Wu didn't know when he had already completed the formalities, and asked the guys at the pavilion to deliver the food to the room.

"Three, sit down. Commander Wu picked up the wine jug, poured two glasses, and said to Chen Yichen, "Do you want to fight with me tonight." ”

Chen Yichen took the wine glass and drank it all, giving him a blank look. Along the way, I also thought about pouring Commander Wu too much, tried a few times, and found that this person was simply a wine leaker, and it was okay to drink as much as he wanted, but several times he made himself drunk.

"Hehe, since you don't drink, let's eat quickly, rest early after eating, and I'll have to hurry early tomorrow morning." Commander Wu drank to himself.

"Drink, drink, the more you drink, the better. Chen Yichen secretly cursed Commander Wu, although he knew that he would not get drunk.

"General Wu, the juniors will give you a drink. Li Wanwan poured a glass of wine, slowly picked it up, and said: "Thank you for the care of the general like a father and brother these days, I will go to Kyoto tomorrow, I am afraid that we will have to separate, and there will be no chance." ”

"It's really a good amount of wine, and women don't let their eyebrows go. ”

Commander Wu's praise was also sincere, but he didn't know that children born in the mountains since childhood relied on home-brewed wine to keep out the cold in winter. Compared with the wine in the inn, it is much stronger.

Li Wanwan poured another glass of wine, drank it all, looked at Commander Wu with a smile, and said, "General Wu, I don't know how to settle us after we arrive in Mocheng?"

Not only is the amount of alcohol good, but the person is also very smart. Of course, Commander Wu knew that the girl in front of him was beating around the bush and tricking herself, so he drank all the wine in the cup and said, "Since you regard me as your father and brother, then I won't hide it from you." ”

Commander Wu poured another glass of wine and drank it all. Glancing at Chen Yichen, he said, "Do some business first, and then you can go anywhere." ”

Chen Yichen's heart tightened, and he guessed that eighty percent of it was related to his own whistleblowing. Although he regretted it at this time, he had no choice, after all, someone in the inn that night claimed to be the third prince, and I am afraid that this matter has been reported to the emperor. The more I think about it, the more scared I become, when it comes to royal affairs, I'm afraid I can't even get rid of myself.

"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Zichen patted him gently.

"Oh, it's fine. Finding that he was stunned, the dish caught in the chopsticks had already fallen, and he disguised: "I was just thinking, Kyoto is so big, where should I take Wan'er to play." ”

"Haha, you don't have to worry about it, Brother Chen, just relax when you get to Kyoto, and I'll be your guide." Xiao Zichen patted him on the shoulder and said, "It will definitely make you happy." ”

Along the way, Commander Wu only opened two rooms. One room for three men, and one room for Li Wanwan. Today, I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if there is a providence in the dark. In the room of Cuiling Station, there are only two rooms left. Chen Yichen and Li Wanwan originally had a marriage contract, so they should live in the same room.

Seeing that there was no one outside the door, Li Wanwan closed the door, lowered her voice, and said, "Brother Yichen, are you hiding something from Wan'er?"

"This ......" Chen Yichen is indeed not good at lying, let alone disguise. Facing Li Wanwan's questioning, like a child who has done something wrong, he can only nod.

"Juan'er saw that you were restless all the way. Li Wanwan looked into his eyes, like a loving mother. said: "Brother Yichen, tell me, okay?"

"Say it, you're in danger. Chen Yi Chen squeaked and whined for a long time before he said such a sentence.

"If you don't tell me, you're in danger. Li Wanwan gently took his hand and said, "There are always more ways for two people than one person." ”

"Okay. Chen Yichen sighed and told Li Wanwan everything that had happened.

Li Wanwan was silent for a long time after listening, and only when Chen Yichen was at a loss did she hear her say: "So that's the case, Brother Yichen, I know that you are all for Wan'er's good, but this is too risky." ”

"I know, but I can't just watch the danger come close to you. Chen Yichen was telling the truth, not to mention that this was also his original intention.

"The Emperor's House, we can't afford to mess with it. "Li Wanwan has heard General Li say more than once that the rights of the emperor are unimaginable to ordinary people, whether you are guilty or not, whether you should die or not, as long as the emperor wants you to die, you will die.

"At that time, I didn't think about it so much, I just thought about how to prevent the Yan army from capturing Mocheng. Chen Yichen's face was full of helplessness, and he said, "I didn't expect that they would let us come to Mocheng." If I had known this, I wouldn't have done it. ”

"Brother Chen, you did the right thing. Li Wanwan comforted him and said, "The world is sinister, I'm afraid it's beyond our imagination." ”

"What should we do now?" Chen Yichen had long since lost his mind, and he held this matter in his heart for several days, and finally said it.

"Run. Li Wanwan looked out of the door vigilantly, lowered her voice, and said, "If you really arrive in Kyoto, I don't know what they will do to you." Now that Mocheng is defending, if the emperor wants to keep the three princes, he will definitely say that you are framing. ”

"Will this be the case?" Chen Yichen had to admire the girl in front of her, what she analyzed, she had never thought of it.
