Chapter 441: Confrontation
The auspicious voice is clearly familiar, but this moment fell on Yan Huai's ears, but it seemed extremely unfamiliar.
He could hear every word clearly and understand, but those words seemed to be far away from him, so far away that they could never be reached. knew what he wanted to know, what he wanted, but his heart suddenly became empty, more empty than any other moment.
The wind desperately drilled through the cracks in the window lattice, blowing through his heart, and there was not the slightest echo in it, except for emptiness and emptiness, nothingness.
Yan Huai's hand on the edge of the table was loose and tight, tight and loose, and finally hung down completely, hanging weakly by his side.
After the auspicious words, he did not make another sound, but just waited aside. The atmosphere was cold and silent for a while, and Ji Xiang quietly looked at him twice, as if he intended to persuade him, but he didn't know how to speak, he just opened his mouth and didn't speak.
After a long time, Yan Huai finally opened his mouth and said lightly: "I know." ”
In just three words, it seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
Ji Xiang responded and quietly retreated. Suddenly, Yan Huai was the only one left in the study, a half-open window, and a few pieces of paper spread out on the bookcase, which were full of things about King Jing. Hesitating, Yan Huai's slender fingers were still on one of the sheets. But after a long time, he didn't pick it up.
His mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, all of which made him feel at a loss.
His gaze fell on the window, the autumn sky was gradually not as bright and dazzling as it was in the middle of summer, and as the time became cooler, there was a faint sense of gloom, and even the blue in the sky seemed to be darker. He suddenly remembered the sky above the desert. It's always blue, like a glazed tile, clean and dusty.
Senior Brother Seven will not talk to him next time. The only thing that makes people happy on this day is probably only the light and shadow of this day.
Thinking of this, Yan Huai's eyebrows couldn't help but bend.
However, the next moment, his face sank again. He also remembered that someone once joked that he was quite similar to Senior Brother Seven. At that time, they were also very happy because of this, believing that it was fate. But the one who said those words in the first place. Who would have thought that they might really be brothers and sisters who are related by blood?
They don't know, and neither does he.
But King Jing doesn't know. Does Senior Brother Seventh know?
He couldn't be sure.
The leaky sand sounded in his ears, and Yan Huai sat alone in the study for a long time.
At the same time, in the hands of Ji Jun, who was also in the corner of Dongcheng, he also got some news he wanted to know. When Mr. Yun Zhan saw him that day. A strange look flashed. can't escape Yan Huai's eyes, and naturally can't escape him.
Therefore, after leaving, he immediately sent someone to secretly check on Mr. Yun Zhan.
But what really made him have to check was because of Mr. Yun Zhan's name. Ji Jun had a deep friendship with Chen Shu, a staff member around King Jing, and he also heard about the early years from Chen Shu one after another. Yun Zhan and his person, he obviously hadn't seen it, but after knowing the name, he inexplicably felt a little familiar. Think about it. Thinking of Mr. Yun Zhan's age, he couldn't help but think of Chen Shulai.
If he had ever heard of the name. It should be from Chen Shu's mouth. So he personally repaired a letter to Chen Shu to find out, and at the same time sent another person in Beijing to listen to Mr. Yun Zhan. By the way, he also carefully investigated Xie Shuning.
Mr. Yun Zhan has always been low-key and inconspicuous, and before he lived in Beicheng due to illness, he had always lived in the Song family's grange in the suburbs of Ping, and there was nothing unusual.
Ji Jun got the news about Mr. Yun Zhan in Beijing, and only knew that he was Xie Shuning's Xixi.
Such a small thing is not at all to see and even more useless. He only listened to Xu for a moment, and then asked: "But there is anything else?" The subordinate lowered his head and said no, so he skipped the matter and stopped listening, and only asked people to reply to Xie Shuning's matter in detail.
From the Song family in Yanling, to the Xie family in the north city of Kyoto, and now their friendship with Wang Ren, her relationship with Yan Huai, he listened carefully to all of them. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "If it's really the eleventh person who will fall in love......
After smiling, he waved his hand and told people to retreat.
Because he was waiting for Chen Shu's reply, the matter at hand, and the more important things he needed to resettle, so soon, Ji Jun didn't spend his mind on these things anymore. He is still walking in the dark in Kyoto, and the cobweb, which was originally only a rudimentary form, has gradually become a huge and meticulous web, which encompasses everyone and is controlled by him.
He enjoyed it.
The palace is also changing.
Wang Ren sent Shaman and Shu Yan mother and son into the palace to meet the imperial concubine with the front foot, and the back foot told Xiao Runzi, although he looked careless on his face, but his tone was heavy when he spoke. Xiao Runzi grew up with him, and he respected him as a father, so he naturally listened solemnly.
The autumn wind swept the flowers in front of the hall, and there was silence all around, only Wang Ren's voice, in the wind sentence was deeper than the other.
He pointed to the direction of the Taihe Hall and showed it to Xiao Runzi, and said casually: "The matter has come to this, and you can just take a look at the rest of the rest, and you don't have to interfere anymore." Whether you succeed or not, it is not as important as your own life. As he spoke, he sneered, "No matter how much effort you have, it will not be your turn to sit on that chair, so why bother to ask for hardship." It's done, and the inner court is still this inner court; The matter was defeated, and the inner court was still in the palm of his hand. It's fun to be idle and wade into troubled waters, but now it's a fool to plant in troubled waters. ”
In the end, he took his gaze back from the distance without hesitation, smiled, and said softly, "Let's wait." ”
When the time comes, you will see it.
When he stood in front of the palace and said these words to Xiao Runzi, the imperial concubine was meeting with Shaman.
No one knows what they talked about that day. Even Shu Yan and Princess Huihe were also kept in the dark.
However, two days later, in the night, Emperor Su Fang, who was obviously in good health, suddenly fell ill again.
As soon as the news came out, not only the Bai family panicked, Ji Jun frowned, and even Wang Ren was bluffed. But when the people received the news, it was already after dawn the next day. Rao is Xiao Runzi, and this time the news was also sent a step slower. Not to mention others.
As for Emperor Su Fang's illness, the rhetoric of the Tai Hospital, of course, is still the same. tremblingly prescribe a decoction to cure the disease, but it can be seen that the effect is very small, and it is not effective.
Anyone who knows that he is in the game certainly understands the trick. But Wang Ren couldn't figure it out, a few days ago, the imperial concubine was still forbearing, and she still hadn't completely dispelled the idea of letting the crown prince ascend the throne. She's going to have a sudden attack. Isn't it self-defeating and dying?
But the imperial concubine who had dealt with Wang Ren was not a stupid person, knowing that doing this would only mess up those who were eyeing him. After all, it can't cure the root cause, but will mistake the prince's life, how could she do such a thing that is almost nonsense?
Wang Ren couldn't help but think of Shaman, the only one who had met alone with the imperial concubine recently.
"Could it be her?" He was suspicious, and set off directly to Beicheng.
Sharman asked when he saw him. An innocent face: "I don't know." ”
Wang Renyan will believe her......
Sharman deliberately pulled Song out. Wang Ren couldn't continue to chase her for interrogation.
Wang Ren's usual good patience also made her so angry that she almost jumped to her feet, and she didn't speak with a cold face. Song still saw that something was wrong, pulled Shaman back to the room, frowned and asked, and Shaman said, "She's probably ruined." ”
Song didn't understand. had to be relayed to Wang Ren as it was. But he understood as soon as he heard it, and was ready to leave. walked a few steps, but couldn't help but turn around, and said a few words to the Song family, remembering that it was getting colder and colder, and seeing her respond softly, he went away with peace of mind.
However, the situation in Kyoto has undergone tremendous changes in just a few days.
Emperor Su Fang fell ill again, and his condition was menacing, even better than the last time, but he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for the day when Ji Jun was ready to force the palace.
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and the Bai family must make the wisest choice between the Jingwang Mansion and the crown prince, and must also ensure that the prince will not become a worry. If you want to support Ji Jun, it is inevitable to take the imperial concubine and the prince as outcasts. First, the Bai family came to show sincerity; Second, we will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and we will not be caught in the middle in the future. Third, if the Bai family does not move, it is difficult to guarantee that Ji Jun will not do it in the future.
After all, the imperial concubine is the daughter raised by the Bai family, and the Bai family knows best what kind of means and character. For the sake of her son, I'm afraid that as long as she still has a glimmer of life, she won't give up lightly.
Therefore, no matter what, some people will not be able to stay after all.
borrowed the hand of the imperial concubine, first made Emperor Su Fang better, and then made his temper more irritable. At that time, when rumors spread and people's minds became more and more panicked, they did not even need to use too many troops, and they did not need to go to great lengths to fight. As long as Ji Jun first got the support of Liang Siqi, and then led a group of elite soldiers into the imperial city at night, drew his sword to force the palace, and punished the prince, declaring to the outside world that this was done by Emperor Su Fang, tyrannical, and killing his relatives.
Ji Jun and his entourage entered the imperial city at night, originally received the news of the imperial concubine, in order to protect the prince, who knew that it was still a step too late after all.
Emperor Su Fang also killed himself on the dragon chair after the killing.
Without the crown prince, and without a testament, and because of his madness and tyranny, who can be sure that his son will not inherit such madness?
The people of the world are willing to support King Jing's accession to the throne as emperor, but it is inevitable.
However, these plans, at this point, had to be changed.
Ji Jun paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, frowning for a long time.
These things are actually not enough to make him chaotic, what really makes him chaotic is his father Jing Wangye. To this day, his father has never given him a word of approval on this matter, whether he supports or opposes him, whether he appreciates his ambition or does not care......
But if I didn't oppose it, I probably agreed.
He had never thought that he had not contacted his father for a while, and that he was already in Kyoto at this time.
When I received Mr. Yun Zhan's letter, King Jing's people were already approaching Kyoto.
After reading the letter, he gave a few instructions, left everyone behind, changed into ordinary clothes, and entered Beijing alone.
After entering Beijing, he went straight to Dongcheng.
At the door of Ji's house, King Jing raised his hand and knocked on the door, faced the small man in the door, led the horse and smiled: "I'm looking for my son." (To be continued......)
