Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, envoys from Shikoku entered Kyoto.

The people of Kyoto welcomed them on both sides of the road, more out of curiosity, wanting to see the true face of the envoys of the four countries and see whether the prince of Kyoto of the Celestial Empire was chic and handsome, or the emperors and grandsons of the nobles from the four countries were better.

Kyoto Imperial Palace

The emperor was sick in bed for many days, and finally his spirit was a little better today, not only could he get out of bed and walk around, but also personally greeted the envoys of the four countries.

It's just that the Queen Mother can't rest assured.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family knows that you don't want the envoys of the four countries to talk about it, so you have to meet it in person, but your body, the mourning family, is really worried."

The Queen Mother said, glancing at Lin Jian and Lin Dongyao on the side.

"Father, what the imperial grandmother said is that your body is much more important than the envoys of the four countries, and the father is still-"

"Out of the way. My body knows it. It's rare that I feel very good today, okay, don't talk so much, Jian'er, you go outside to fight first, Dongyao, you stay. ”

The emperor interrupted Lin Jian's words softly, but this arrangement made the queen mother's heart chuckle.

What is the emperor doing? Isn't there any ulterior arrangement for Lin Dongyao to stay by his side?

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more wrong it became, but now she couldn't stay here, and the people around the Queen Mother made a look, so she left with a heavy heart.

Lin Jian was silent on the surface, and he also felt strange in his heart. What does the father want to say when he left the fifth child alone?

——

In the dormitory of Chengqian Palace, the emperor retreated left and right, leaving only Lin Dongyao alone.

"Two months ago, the queen committed suicide in prison, no one knows about this, but paper can't contain the fire after all, Lin Guogong took advantage of my illness to gather a lot of strength, if I don't come forward to deter me today, I'm afraid he will attack you. Dongyao—whoever it is—Jian'er, you, or Ran'er and Donghe, are all my sons after all—I don't want to be when Jian'er ascends the throne, and I lose even your son. ”

The emperor looked at Lin Dongyao solemnly, but found that a trace of bitterness flashed in Lin Dongyao's eyes.

"Dongyao, you were hit by an arrow that day, and the arrow was poisonous. You already know what a medicine quote is, right? As soon as the emperor spoke, Lin Dongyao's eyes that had always been calm were surging.

"Father! Erchen doesn't want to—"

Lin Dongyao actually knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Dongyao, my father's time is short. Even the current life was picked up on the same day, if it weren't for Nande to make the medicine, the father would have been a long time ago - you are still young, you will be a good helper for Jian'er, before the father leaves, I don't want to lose your son. ”

The emperor leaned over and helped Lin Dongyao, at this moment, the father and son looked at each other, just like all ordinary fathers and sons in the world, it was the most ordinary father-son relationship, not the king and his prince.

"Although Nande made my medicine that day, I know how my body has always been, and many times it is just a show for everyone, including you and Jian'er, including the Queen Mother. But since you are also poisoned now, you can't object to what your father arranges! ”

The emperor's words were like the tip of a needle piercing Lin Dongyao's heart.

He thought that he had been pretending to be very good, but he didn't expect his father to know about it a long time ago.

And the body of the father and emperor has been hidden from everyone for so many years.

They always thought that their father's recent physical discomfort was due to Lin Donghe's fall off the cliff, but they didn't expect that-

"Father, for so many years, the sons have not done their best to accompany their fathers, but with their own temperament, they are indifferent, and the sons really don't know their father's body-"

Lin Dongyao's eyes looked at the emperor fixedly.

At this moment, he suddenly woke up.

What he thought was a statement of truth turned out to be a lie that took the overall situation into account.

It turns out that they were all deceived by their father! For so many years, my father's body has always had problems!

The expression on the emperor's face at this moment was indescribably calm as water.

"So I can see at a glance that your situation is exactly the same as I did back then, but you don't have a chance to find a clan medicine guide, and you won't do that with your temperament, otherwise, you would have taken a side concubine a long time ago, and once you are pregnant with your flesh and blood, you can take the unformed fetus as a medicine guide, you won't do that - I can help you."

The emperor raised his hand and patted Lin Dongyao on the shoulder.

This moment is the only time between this high-flying father and son to face the depths of their hearts.

Lin Dongyao wanted to say something, but the emperor had already waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to say anything more.

"After you go out for a while, I will put on a play for people outside, so that they will think that I left you to persuade you to keep to help Jian'er, but you insist on sticking to the palace and ignoring Yiqiē, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the things, I have made up my mind."

"Father, my son doesn't want to be like this-"

Lin Dongyao is more conflicted than ever at the moment.

His father was unwell, and he had already been mentally prepared, but his father himself said this, which made him unacceptable for a while.

Cining Palace

The Queen Mother listened to the report of the little eunuch beside the emperor with a suspicious expression.

"You said that the emperor had a good talk to King Rouhuai at the beginning, but in the end he got angry and threw things? He even beat King Rouhuai and told him to get out? ”

The Queen Mother always felt that with the emperor's current body, she would not be angry lightly.

Why are you so angry with the fifth child?

"Back to the Queen Mother, what the slave said is true. At first, the emperor spoke to the prince in a very small voice, and the servants couldn't really hear it, but later, the emperor was very excited, and it seemed that the anger that had been held back for a long time suddenly came out, and the prince kept bowing his head and was silent, letting the emperor scold. When the emperor saw that the prince didn't speak, he said that the prince refused to regain his strength for the sake of a woman, and asked the prince to get out! The prince - just left. ”

The little eunuch really told the queen mother everything he saw.

"Alright, you can go down." The Queen Mother waved her hand, but the expression on her face was more suspicious.

Ever since the queen committed suicide in prison for no reason, she felt weird.

Obviously, every qiē has been planned, as long as the fox full moon enters the palace, the one qiē is all in her control, but the fox full moon was kidnapped halfway.

It's been two months, and life and death are unknown!

The Qiē arranged behind the Queen Mother was all disrupted. I have to re-arrange!

But today, the emperor actually wants to personally receive the envoys of the four countries, which makes the queen mother feel even more wrong. It's just that now that the arrow is ready to be sent, she can't afford to think about it anymore.

——

At the same time, a procession of Shikoku envoys entered Kyoto.

The most powerful teams of the Four Kingdoms, the Western Regions and Northern Liao, were in front, followed by the Empress of Fengtuo and Muhua, the prince of Dongluo.

Lin Jian greeted him outside the palace, wearing a dark golden brocade robe, with gold threads embroidered with mandala flowers on the neckline and cuffs, which were similar to his previous warm and clear temperament, and his elegant temperament added to the noble atmosphere, and his gestures also had a majestic and cold aura.

Er Ruo and Zhang Xiuhui stood behind him on the left and right, also dressed in luxurious clothes, gorgeous and dazzling.

After being compared with Zhang Xiuhui on Xiang Road last time in the Prince's Mansion, this time it can be said that she is carefully dressed, but Zhang Xiuhui is wearing a quiet and hazy scarlet long skirt this time, and the skirt is embroidered with orchids, which is lifelike, as if a beautiful and pleasant orchid blooms on her skirt, and the neckline and cuffs are dark auspicious cloud patterns, which reflect each other with the pattern of Lin Jian's clothes.

On the contrary, on the other hand, in order to pursue grace and luxury, a dazzling Ai blue long skirt, layers of light yarn lingering, blown by the cold wind, even if the cloak is covered outside, the skirt of the light yarn is also turned up layer by layer, dancing and twisting around the waist, and the indescribable wolf bèi is embarrassed.

But Lin Jian stood in front, and the Queen Mother and a group of concubines were also standing there, she couldn't move, and the focus of the whole team was her light gauze skirt dancing in mid-air from time to time.

In this cold winter, everyone else is a brocade jacket, in order to leave a dusty image, but she smashed this good show planned by herself.

Even if the wind is cold, Erruo's cheeks are still burning hot.

Although the king of the Western Regions was in Kyoto, there were also ministers from the Western Regions who came, and the king of the Western Regions arrived early in the envoy team of the Western Regions.

The King of the Western Regions sighed helplessly.

At this time, Mu Hua, who was walking behind the King of the Western Regions, stared at Er Ruo on Lin Jian's side for a long time, and couldn't help muttering,

"What's that lump of green? Grass? ”

As soon as Mu Hua said this, the king of the Western Regions who walked in front of her turned even pale.

Ye Lu Hao, the fourth prince of Northern Liao, who was walking side by side with the king of the Western Regions, glanced listlessly ahead, and then couldn't help but yawn.

Now he just wants to sit down and rest and inhale his bliss, so he has no interest in seeing what is grass or not!

Yelu Hao really couldn't hold it back, he didn't have a chance to smoke Bliss when he got up this morning, and now he was uncomfortable.

"National Teacher, if you don't give me a blissful powder that you don't need to suck first, I'm itchy and uncomfortable now! I can't stand it anymore. ”

Ye Lu Hao couldn't help but whisper to the national teacher beside him.

The national teacher's face was a little embarrassed, and he lowered his voice and said,

"The fourth prince, the minister said that if you smoke this blission, it will not have any burden and impact on the body the next day, but if the pill is taken for seven hundred and forty-nine days, it will take seven hundred and forty-nine days to be completely discharged in the body, so the four princes should bear with it."

Although the national teacher said this, a trace of gloomy and hideous murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

Yeluhao yawned impatiently, raised his hand and scratched his neck, and looked at him uncomfortably,

"You don't care so much, it's not long, forty-nine days will pass quickly, hurry up and give me one, it's almost there." I can't hold on—"

As soon as Yelu Hao's words came out, the national teacher Hanqi sighed helplessly, with an expression of being persecuted by Ye Lu Hao,

"That's it, the fourth prince takes it, don't let anyone else see it."

Han Qi said and took out a pill, quickly stuffed it into Yelu Hao's hand, and looked around vigilantly.

The King of the Western Regions will be staring at the front with a dishful face, and he can't care about this side at all, and the Empress Feng Tuoguo behind her has always covered her face, only revealing a pair of eyes, and that look looks preoccupied.

And Mu Hua is the one with the richest facial expressions, looking around, a bird in the sky can attract her curiosity and attention.

Han Qi gritted his teeth and sneered silently.

This great prince of Dongluo is the most useless! It is destined that Dongluo will be the first of the four countries to be annexed by him!

Han Qi was about to take his eyes off Mu Hua's face, but suddenly noticed that a figure behind Mu Hua seemed familiar, but when he looked closely, he was blocked by Mu Hua's moving body.

Mu Hua also glared fiercely at him.

Inevitably, Han Qi hurriedly looked away, but once the doubt in his heart was formed, it was difficult to let go.

When the envoys of the four countries saw it, a gust of wind blew, and it directly blew up Erruo's light gauze skirt and pasted it on his face, revealing the petticoat inside.

Standing behind her was the newly selected show girl of the emperor and the queen mother, after all, she was still young, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and eat and smile.

Because it was such an important occasion, the nurse couldn't move too much to help her press it, and even the queen mother was angry and green.

"Sister, sister help you."

At this time, Zhang Xiuhui spoke out clearly, and immediately took off a bead flower in his hair, and gently wrapped it around Er Ruo's skirt a few times, and one end of the bead flower suddenly pierced the skirt.

Er Ruo was about to have a seizure, but saw that Zhang Xiuhui hid the puncture inside, but pulled out a good-looking orchid in the skirt with beads, and folded the overly flowing skirt, which looked like a specially designed general, the skirt was like a playful orchid, but it did not lose the overall luxury and elegance of the skirt.

"Wow! The crown princess is so powerful! It's ingenious! ”

"Yes, no wonder every time I see the crown princess, I know how to dress up so well, it turns out that I know so much."

"But it's not, if it weren't for the prince's side concubine, the crown princess today-"

The words that followed came to an abrupt end, and a few talkative little masters realized that the Queen Mother was also present, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to say more.

But these words were heard by a real person.

She wants to tear the hem of her skirt open now!

She doesn't want to owe Zhang Xiuhui a favor in front of so many people! It's obvious that she is pretending to be a good person, not really for her good at all!

At this time, the procession of the envoys of the four countries had also arrived.

Lin Jian greeted everyone according to the rules of Kyoto to greet the envoys.

The king of the Western Regions was the first to step forward, it seemed that his daughter was the crown princess, and he was most familiar with Lin Jian's relationship, but his face and heart did not match.

Lin Jian's politeness with the King of the Western Regions was only superficial, and the King of the Western Regions knew that the prince didn't like Er Ruo at all.

The King of the Western Regions' gaze flashed over the dazzling Zhang Xiuhui, and his eyes were obviously full of murderous aura.

Just disappeared for a full moon of Linghu, and now there is another Zhang Xiuhui!

But any woman who steals the limelight from his daughter can't stay in the Prince's Mansion!

The king of the Western Regions stood aside, and the second one to step forward was Yelu Hao, who had just eaten Bliss.

Yelu Hao was still in the chaos of half-dreaming and half-awake, barely mustering up his spirit to face Lin Jian.

Lin Jian's eyes quickly swept at Zhang Xiuhui beside him, silently, and sneered silently.

BTW: Finale volume, full sprint.
