Night.

"Sir. You're back." The woman who still had the charm stepped forward. For his tired husband and gentleman's clothes.

"Hey. yes." Lord Fang's tone was full of helplessness. Look at his worried expression." But what happened in the court? My lord has always been so late these days."

"Lord Hetian, Lord Lin, has been sitting at the Marquis of Changqing for a long time." Hou Ye's anger is difficult to appease. If Your Highness is stubborn. I'm afraid that there will be an undercurrent surging in the DPRK again.

Marquis of Changqing. The woman immediately understood something." But for the sake of the future."

"Madame, how do you know?"

The woman put her garment aside." Recent. The concubine and several ladies often went to Mrs. Changqinghou as a guest. are all talking about the things that come after the establishment. Now the crown princess is about to give birth. This posterior position naturally belongs to the side concubine." So they thought about going over in advance to congratulate them. So as to leave a good impression on Mrs. Hou. There are also many people who propose to several young ladies in the Hou Mansion for their sons.

Master Fang frowned. In the future. Let's go to the Changqing Marquis Mansion less."

"How. Is it possible that things have changed since then?"

“…… Well. The crown prince wants to make the imperial physician the queen. Today, the DPRK and China are arguing over this matter."

The woman's eyes widened. The news was too unexpected." Isn't the Imperial Imperial Physician in the Kingdom of Yi?"

"That's it. Say no more." Lord Fang only felt very troubled. With a wave of his hand, he walked straight to the couch. Soon after lying down, a cry came.

The candlelight in the house dimmed. A few dark shadows quickly crossed the roof. Ended up in the yard. Hidden in the shadows.

There was a muffled thunderclap. There was an atmosphere of crisis in the air. The raindrops of beans fell on Kyoto in Tatsu Province.

The night is deep. Three dark shadows fall on the roof. Remove a few tiles. Looking at the two people who were sleeping deeply. Then it fell silently. Slowly approaching the unaware Lord Fang.

I saw a flash of silver light. A stream of warmth sprayed on the sleeping woman's face. The woman just wiped it with her hand in confusion. He turned his back to the man in black.

In the blink of an eye. There was no third figure in the room. It's raining outside. It seems to wash away this unquiet night.

Thundered......

A heavy muffled thunder. Woke up the woman on the couch. She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up. Look at the sky outside.

"How did the window open. It's raining heavily......" she muttered. I got off the bed lightly. Go over and close the window door. However between the haze. She saw a dark red patch in her palm. Momentarily surprised." What kind of old man is this...... Lord......"

I was trying to ask the man on the couch for help. She turned, and her shadow fell in the mirror in front of her. This second. Her body stiffened instantly.

Was it her delusion. Just that look. She saw the face of the man in the mirror with the blood on it. Slowly moving his eyes. At last the woman saw clearly. Half of his face actually has a large amount of blood. The appearance is terrifying.

"Ahh

Earth-shattering screams. It attracted the people who got up in the morning. The crowd pushed open the door and chased after them." Madam. What happened. Ahh

The maids saw the woman's face. Frightened and forgot to react.

"There's a lot of blood. This. It's ......"

Soon. The family members rushed in, too." Yes. Madame ...... "Everyone realizes that something is wrong. Eyes fall on the couch. I saw a shocking column of blood on the man in the white obscene clothes and pants." My lord. Fast. Someone's coming."

They rushed over to take a look. Lord Fang's face had turned purple. There is a deep wound on the neck. The blood has clotted.

……

Above the early dynasty.

Quite a few ministers got wet in their official uniforms. Stand in the hall and wait for the prince to come.

"Huh. Why haven't Lord Lin and Lord Fang come here today?"

The Marquis of Changqing in front turned around suspiciously. Really. Originally, the place where the two adults were located was empty. They went back very late yesterday. Could it be that something unexpected.

Soon. The prince has come out of the inner sanctum. A cold gaze looked around. There was a shallow smile on his lips.

"Your Highness, Hail Jin'an."

"Imperial Doctor Hu."

"Wechen is here." Imperial Doctor Hu stood up again. His heart sank. Your Highness is really persevering.

"Since Imperial Doctor Hu is old. As. It's up to you to choose a suitable person in the Imperial Hospital and set off for the Kingdom of Yi." As soon as this remark came out. It was so quiet in the middle of the court. There wasn't as much opposition as yesterday.

Everyone looked at each other. Lord Fang and Lord Lin, who dared to speak the most, were not there. No one came forward.

Imperial Doctor Hu saw that there was no one to speak for him at this time. I had no choice but to bow at the moment." Wechen obeyed."

The hand in the sleeve of the Marquis of Changqing couldn't help but shake it. He turned his head slightly sideways and glanced at the Marquis of Changrong opposite. This gaze seems to carry endless protest.

"His Royal Highness ...... Qiqi" finally. There are still ministers who can't help but stand up. Don't want to be at this time. But a father-in-law hurried in from outside. He knelt down in front of everyone with a thud.

"Your Highness. A letter came from outside the palace. Lord Fang and Lord Lin, they ......"

"There is something to say slowly. Make it clear. What's wrong with them." Dongfang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly. His voice was crystal clear. All eyes were immediately focused on this father-in-law.

The father-in-law took a deep breath. Lord Fang and Lord Lin. This morning, he was found assassinated in his house."

"What this. How could this be ......"

The crowd was horrified. Lord Fang and Lord Lin are dead.

"Oh. Yes." Who knows. There was not the slightest surprise in Dongfang Xu's tone. He understated it. Everyone looked up in surprise. I saw that His Highness's handsome face actually had a strange smile. This laugh made them shiver. Something immediately understood in my heart.

Assassination...... Yesterday. They are all people who stand up against His Highness. Outcome......

Soon. The prince's last words yesterday immediately came to everyone's minds." The main temple has made up its mind. If a few adults still object. Then after tomorrow. Counsel again."

No wonder His Highness wants to say that we will discuss it after yesterday. It turns out that His Royal Highness actually ......

Many ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to look at this handsome young face again. Dongfang Xu's gaze leisurely fell on Changqinghou's unbelievable expression. But there was no dodging in the slightest.

He is not afraid that others will know what he has done. He's just making an example of the monkeys. Doing what an emperor would do.

If these courtiers are faithful. So back on. Naturally, no one dared to dispute his decision.

Ji Jin frowned tightly. He looked at the father-in-law on the ground. Look at the Marquis of Changqing again. Finally, let's take a look at the prince. He didn't expect His Highness to do it for Yun Shu. To the point of this.

"Lord Fang and Lord Lin have made meritorious contributions to the imperial court for many years. Now he has been assassinated. Come people. and gave his family a hundred taels of gold. Don't stay in this sad place in Kyoto anymore." Dongfang Xu waved his hand. The crowd trembled. Your Highness is going to send the families of the two adults out of Beijing.

"Lord Tian. I have something to say." Dongfang Xu smiled lightly. looked at Lord Tian, who had already forgotten his reaction in the hall.

"Ahh The other party raised his head in a daze. Obviously, I haven't digested the shocking news yet." This...... Xia Guan is trying to say. There are many talents in the Royal Hospital. Lord Hu should choose a young and promising imperial doctor to go to the Yi Kingdom."

Quite a few ministers buried their heads lower. Especially the ministers who said a word or two of dissent yesterday. I didn't dare to say a word at the moment.

The Marquis of Changqing's chest rose and fell violently. Reason, however, told him not to be impulsive. For the sake of their daughter. There can be no head-on conflict with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Your Highness today. It's frighteningly strange. If you hit the prince on the spur of the moment. I don't know what kind of means he will use to deal with the Changqing Marquis Mansion.

This world is the most terrible thing about the true heart. When the prince still needs their mansion. It's so pious and humble. But now...... own daughter. After the crown prince ascends the throne. was demoted from a side concubine to a concubine. But it is still a chess piece in the hands of the prince. They can't help it.

It's him. It was he who harmed Lord Fang and Lord Lin. They died because of him.

"Hmm. Tian is right. Do you have any opinions?"

"No, no, no, no......"

Everyone shook their heads.

Dongfang Xu's mouth had an irrepressible smile on his lips. He thoroughly tried the joy of victory today. This is the authority of a king over all men. He's definitely not going to let anyone again. hindering his decision.

Under the early dynasty. The palace road in the rain looks extremely cold.

"Master Hou, slow down."

The carriage of the Marquis of Changrong stopped quietly. The man in the carriage lifts the curtain. Then he saw the prime minister's carriage chasing after him.

"Master Hou. Today's Things. But Hou Ye's idea." Yesterday. Ji Jin happened to capture Dongfang Xu's eyes looking at Chang Ronghou.

Marquis Changrong pretended to be surprised." What do you mean, sir?"

Ji Jin just looked at the other party's expression. Seems to want to see something out of it. Subsequently. But it was a word with a deep meaning." Hou Ye. Sure enough, it's exactly the same as it was back then."

"......." Marquis Changrong raised his eyebrows slightly. He knows. Cheng is interested in Yun Shu. Therefore, they just regard the other party as a table of loss and disappointment.

Ji Jin lowered the curtain." Let's go." Soon. He left the carriage of the Hou Mansion behind.

He knew it hadn't been for someone pushing him in the back. The crown prince would not have necessarily used such cruel means to force the ministers to obey. He couldn't help but start worrying about the future of Tatsukoku. He couldn't help but start to doubt his original opinion.

Prince. Will it really be a Mingjun.

……

"Hiss"

The palace maid next to "Niangniang" stepped forward nervously. Du Yuanxiu looked at his pierced fingertips. There's already oozing a little scarlet.

"The slave maid is bandaging the ...... for the mother."

"You don't have to. A little bit of a bruise." Du Yuanxiu put down the half-sewn child's belly pocket in his hand. Slightly caressing his high bulging abdomen. What is this uneasy feeling in my heart?
