"Your Highness, cut the grass and eradicate the roots......" Marquis Changrong came to Dongfang Xu's side, his eyes were staring at the ground tightly, his eyes widened, but Concubine Mei was strangely silent, for fear that she would make a move.

Dongfang Xu's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly looked at the inner hall, which had been covered by countless corpses, and he couldn't see the direction of the figure.

"Take her to the harem of the mother, the main hall wants her, kneel in front of the queen mother!"

At this time, a gust of wind suddenly came, and a thick white smoke instantly diffused, and Changrong Hou was shocked, why, there are still dead people alive?! "Escort!"

Everyone raised their vigilance again, but when they cleared the fog, there was not a single figure in front of them, what was the matter with the smoke?

"Concubine Mei?"

Dongfang Xu was the first to notice the abnormality, and Concubine Mei, who was originally lifeless on the ground, also disappeared with the smoke.

Today's bloody battle in the court is afraid that it will become a nightmare for every minister in this life.

"Your Highness, a total of nine adults were killed and wounded, and the forbidden army and the guards of the East Palace suffered heavy casualties......" Dongfang Xu looked at the messy hall in front of him, but there was not much joy of victory in his heart, but he was afraid that his father would not want to see him kill on his True Dragon Palace, right?

"Did you find it?"

Dongfang Xu's gaze fell on the pile of corpses. I saw one of the guards look up, "Found it!" Find Your Highness the Two! ”

Everyone worked together, and finally dragged the charred body out and laid it flat in front of Dongfang Xu.

"Your Highness, don't look at it." Marquis Changrong grabbed Dongfang Xu's arm, he just felt that the matter had come to this point, and His Highness was just trying to add trouble.

Dongfang Xu raised his eyes, the deep gaze was accompanied by endless silence, Changrong Hou's hand gradually let go, he suddenly opened his clothes and knelt down, "Weichen made his own opinion, please surrender your highness!" ”

Dongfang Xu didn't speak, but walked straight to the corpse and slowly squatted down.

At this time, no one dared to step forward to disturb him, and everyone quietly stepped aside, looking at Dongfang Xu's expression that he couldn't tell what kind of love he was.

After a long time, he slowly reached out and took something out of his sleeve and placed it in the corpse's arms.

……

Inside the Phoenix Palace.

Queen Chen, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by a cold wind, she endured the severe pain and slowly sat up straight, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

"Someone ...... coming"

"Mother, the slave is here!" Immediately, a palace maid trotted in and stood nervously beside Queen Chen.

"What about the prince?" Empress Chen frowned slightly, she didn't know where the uneasiness in her heart came from.

"The slave doesn't know."

At this time, there was that silent figure outside, and Queen Chen restrained her expression, "Prince, what happened outside?" ”

Dongfang Xu slowly stepped in, and with a gesture of a look, the palace maid retreated.

He unhurriedly tightened the futon for the queen, and the expression on his face made Queen Chen more and more afraid, "What happened?" ”

Dongfang Xu just looked at the haggard face in front of him, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth, "Queen Mother, the emperor's brother is dead." ”

There was a silence all around, and Empress Chen opened her mouth slightly, but she couldn't say a word.

"Queen Mother, the royal brother is dead." He repeated it again.

I saw that Queen Chen's eyes were slowly red, she only felt as if something was blocking her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe, and Dongfang Rui's naughty appearance as a child immediately appeared in her mind. He ...... He's dead? ”

Dongfang Rui didn't answer, just lowered his eyes slightly, and couldn't see any expression.

"Hehe, die well, die well, die well...... Empress Chen kept repeating these three words, and tears had unconsciously crossed her cheeks, she slowly turned her head and stared at Dongfang Xu's face tightly, "Rui'er, it's not your fault...... Yes, it's the mother's fault...... If, at that time, he said that he wanted to come back, and the queen mother did not agree, this qiē...... It's not going to happen, it's not going to happen......"

Letting the queen hold his hand so tightly, Dongfang Xu slowly stood up, "Queen Mother, it's time to rest." ”

The queen raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her who seemed to have matured a lot in a day, "Well, the rest of the matter will be handed over to you......" She already understood that the wind and rain had finally passed, the dead were dead, and the living had to continue to live.

Marquis Changrong stayed outside, and after waiting for a long time, Dongfang Xu finally walked out silently.

"Your Highness, the minister has already arranged for the second highness to be buried." He understood the meaning of Dongfang Rui to the prince, and this time, he was also thinking about the overall situation.

Concubine Mei undoubtedly wants to manipulate the second prince as a puppet, so as long as she kills the second prince, she can simply calm down the turmoil in the court.

Dongfang Xu's eyes moved slightly, "Well, the scenery is great." ”

"Minister, let's do it."

"Wait."

Marquis Changrong immediately stopped, and Dongfang Xu slowly turned his face, "Let me, the imperial brother, put on a shroud for him." ”

“…… Chancellor understood. ”

In the uninhabited mourning hall, Dongfang Xu had already changed into a white dress, and he slowly approached the body placed in the center, his indifferent face made people dare not approach.

This body has been cleaned, but it is still so wolf that it can't see its original appearance. The Grand Duke's face was solemn and he held up a gorgeous shroud, "Your Highness, this is Your Highness's favorite color." ”

Dongfang Xu's eyes didn't move, he stretched out his hand to take the shroud, and motioned for him to step back.

There was some hesitation in the father-in-law's eyes, and then he sighed silently and quietly retreated.

Slowly walking to the body, Dongfang Xu looked at the white wooden horse that was placed aside, and opened his mouth lightly, "Brother Huang, can you blame him for being a brother?" ”

There was only his voice in the mourning hall, and the man smiled helplessly, "Presumably, under the Nine Springs, you will not forgive the imperial brother." "This is a life-and-death battle, but he never thought that he would witness such a picture with his own eyes.

It turns out that this feeling is called life and death.

He was an incompetent royal brother, and at the end of the day, they were all arguing.

"This is the last thing the royal brother can do for you." Dongfang Xu's fingers moved, he slowly lifted the body, and when his hand touched the rough skin, his brows furrowed instantly.

Then, he turned the whole body over in confusion and looked at the black back for a long time.

His eyes flickered slightly, and then as if nothing had happened, he quietly dressed the body.

……

The next day, the second prince was buried with a great ceremony, and the people outside the palace did not know that just yesterday, an earth-shattering event happened in the court.

There was a solemn atmosphere on the streets, and there were countless coins floating above the funeral procession.

The crowd shook, and no one noticed the two sneaky figures.

"How does it feel to look at your beautiful funeral procession?"

"Besides, this prince killed you!"

The man smiled faintly, pulled off his cloak and sank into the alley.

It was no one else who followed, it was Dongfang Rui, who was funeral today.

"The second prince doesn't want revenge?" And the person in front of him was Lan Sangliang, who was supposed to be on standby in the palace.

The two quickly walked into a deserted forest, and Lan Xiangliang gradually fell behind Dongfang Rui. His hand slowly reached into his sleeve and grasped the sharp dagger.

"If you move again, believe it or not, the prince will immediately abolish you?!"

"Tut-tut, the Second Highness is dead, this temper should be changed, right?" Lan Sangara smiled, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

The man in front of him finally stopped and turned around, "You haven't said anything about the purpose of saving this prince." ”

Dongfang Rui vigilantly watched the man's every move in front of him, "Could it be that Emperor Xiao sent you?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Lie!"

“…… Since His Royal Highness doesn't believe it, why should he ask him? In the next is to do what is ordered. ”

"The answer is so direct, what is it that is not lying? Besides, Emperor Xiao was not so kind. Dongfang Rui raised his head proudly, very confident in his guess.

"It's been a waste of His Majesty's kindness, if His Royal Highness doesn't believe it, why don't you go with me to see Your Majesty, maybe, Your Majesty is willing to avenge Concubine Mei's mother?" Lan Xiangliang's eyes shone with fine light, and Dongfang Rui suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist and attacked him without warning.

Hearing only a buzzing sound, the silver light flashed, and Lan Xiangliang dangerously resisted the opponent's attack with a dagger, and smiled coldly, "Your Highness, is this going to cross the river and demolish the bridge?" ”

"This prince has never begged you to come to your rescue!" He quickly put away the long sword and sank into the scabbard, then turned around, "Don't follow the main hall again, otherwise, don't blame the subordinates of the main hall for being ruthless!" ”

"......" has to say that if he is tough, he may not be this person's opponent. Lan Xiangliang snorted coldly in his heart, what a waste of effort!

He originally wanted to use this person to blackmail Concubine Mei after saving Dongfang Rui, Lan Xiangliang had confidence in himself and would definitely be able to persuade Concubine Mei to deal with Emperor Xiao together, but he didn't expect that woman to fail! Can he still ask for the cooperation of a dead man?

Now that Concubine Mei is dead, Dongfang Rui has no use value, and now he can only return to the Chenguo Palace again, wait for the news of Emperor Xiao, and find a way to win over his allies again.

I don't know what happened to the woman in the Yiguo Palace, could it be, she has been killed by Emperor Xiao, right?

Lan Xiangliang smiled, he didn't expect that at this moment, he would still be worried about the life and death of that person.

Perhaps, compared to this Concubine Mei, the county lord of Yongji is much more reliable.

……

Outside the mausoleum.

Dongfang Xu looked at the white tombstone, the cold wind blew the corners of his clothes, and after a long time, he slowly turned around, "Go back to the palace." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Marquis Changrong noticed that under the tombstone, a white wooden horse was quietly placed. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, could it be that His Highness risked leaving the palace for this thing?

It wasn't until the team left the hill that a tall figure slowly appeared, Dongfang Rui looked at the tombstone engraved with his name, and only felt a little ridiculous.

Did the royal brother really think he was dead?

He turned away, and from here he could clearly see the departing procession.

Silently took the quiet wooden horse into his arms, Dongfang Rui's eyes were a little nostalgic, from now on, there will be no two princes in this world. It turned out that this was what he wanted, this world of freedom......
