In a certain courtyard of a house in the capital, Zhu Lan drank to the moon, and the cold moonlight shone on him, which was quite free and proud.

He drank one bite at a time, and his face, which was old but still a little handsome, was full of loneliness, and there were infinite memories in his eyes.

In this situation, no one can associate such a person with a monk.

However, he was indeed a monk, and a monk who had been a monk for twenty or thirty years.

However, he is a monk who is different from others, other monks practice in temples, but he, most of the time he spends practicing, is actually in the palace and the palace.

He is accustomed to the struggle for power and profit, and he is also used to the intrigues of the royal family, and he is even a participant and planner in it. Now, he has finally become a victim of the battle, and has been kicked out of the center of power without hesitation, and even this city that he once thought he could conquer can only sneak in.

Suddenly hearing a slight sound outside the courtyard, the corners of his mouth moved, and he said lightly: "Zhu Lan has been waiting for a long time, please let His Highness come in for a while." ”

There was silence for a while, and then, the dilapidated backyards were pushed away by the "crunch", and two figures walked into the small courtyard.

When Zhu Lan saw the handsome man at the head, a look of concern flashed in her eyes, but she immediately lowered her head and drank.

Only by drinking alcohol can he paralyze his nerves and give him the courage to face this young man he has watched and grown up in his heart, and he is infinitely proud of him, but the other party regards him as an enemy.

The second prince calmly walked into the small courtyard and first glanced around. For the small courtyard that is so quiet that there is no more than one person, I am a little suspicious in my heart.

Is this person really coming to see him alone? How dare he......

"Now you, a lost dog, dare to come to see this king?"

The second prince stood still and said in a cold voice.

Loser......

Zhu Lan raised her head and looked at the second prince's eyes so deep. However, he didn't say anything in the end, just said: "Since His Highness is willing to take the risk to come to see the poor monk at this time, it means that His Highness cares about some things that Zhu Lan knows."

In that case, why should His Highness waste time talking so fast. ”

The second prince's face changed, and his heartbeat increased slightly, but he still asked in a deep voice: "You said that you know what Su Yucheng said before he died, tell this king what you know, and this king can make you die a happy death." ”

Zhu Lan smiled, and suddenly said: "Since you took the initiative to find Your Highness, you naturally want to tell Your Highness, but I don't know that Your Highness may appreciate the light and drink two cups with the poor monk?" ”

He raised his glass and invited.

The second prince looked at the table, a small stone table, a pot of wine, and two wine glasses, one of which was in Zhu Lan's hand, and the other was quietly placed opposite Zhu Lan.

"Lord Wang, beware of deceitful ......," Mr. Lu, who was beside the second prince, prompted.

The second prince stared at Zhu Lan, but the other party just looked at him sincerely, and he actually saw a trace of expectation.

Without saying anything, he walked forward.

Surrounded by his manpower, he didn't have much to worry about.

"Please."

Zhu Lan poured a glass of wine for the second prince and raised a glass to invite.

Seeing that the second prince did not move, he smiled and said, "Otherwise, how about the poor monk and His Royal Highness exchange a cup?" ”

With a cold snort, the second prince picked up his wine glass and sniffed slightly at the tip of his ear-

Good wine, it seems to be a high-quality Qingdiao wine.

Without much movement, he drank it all directly, and then said, "You should know that this king has limited time. ”

Zhu Lan smiled, drank the wine silently, and then finally spoke: "Your Highness is puzzled, why did Su Yucheng curse His Majesty the current Emperor like that before he died?" ”

"Diao slave is about to die, and he just slanders the lord with evil words."

"Hehe," ignoring the second prince's meaningless words, Zhu Lan continued: "That's because, what he said is true, His Majesty the current emperor is indeed extinct. ”

As soon as the words came out, the second prince felt that his heartbeat stopped instantly.

Even Mr. Lu, who was next to him, who was always shrouded in a brown robe, also moved.

The second prince stared at Zhu Lan deadly, and reason told him that he should refute Zhu Lan, but he didn't. He just stared into Zhu Lan's eyes, waiting for him to continue.

Zhu Lan saw that the second prince was calm, and there was a hint of appreciation in her eyes, and then she said leisurely: "Actually, before today, the poor monk would not tell His Highness no matter what, because it was too unfair to His Highness. But now, the eldest prince is dead, and the poor monk has to tell His Highness that otherwise, His Highness will be kept in the dark, and sooner or later he will be harmed by the tyrant......"

"Go on...... What this king wants to hear is tangible evidence, not that you are here to be alarmist and make unnecessary provocations. The second prince gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

The second prince's cold words made Zhu Lan realize his impression in the second prince's heart. He lowered his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, because of an accident in his early years, his lower body was injured, which made it inhumane. However, in order to seek the throne, he kept it a secret and killed everyone who knew about it.

Therefore, except for the eldest prince who was born in the early years, all the other princes and princesses are not his heirs. Therefore, what Su Yucheng said that the current emperor is no longer extinct, this is a fact, not a slander against the Lord! ”

"You lie!!"

The second prince suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and shouted angrily.

Zhu Lan was unmoved, but said lightly: "Why should Your Highness deceive yourself, if it weren't for the doubts in your Highness's heart, why would Your Highness be willing to risk being suspicious of the emperor to see the poor monk with a soft word?"

And the poor monk, if it is not for His Highness, why would he risk his death to enter the city and inform His Highness of the truth?

Poor monk, there is really no reason to deceive His Highness. ”

The second prince looked at Zhu Lan with cannibalistic eyes, whoever it was, suddenly being told that the father he had called for nearly twenty years was not his own father, he would be manic. What's more, he is still in the royal family, and with one wrong step, he has changed from a noble nobleman to a lowly wild seed!

How can a haughty man accept this?

At this moment, he really wanted to kill the person in front of him with a single sword, which he seemed to hate and resent.

Seeing that the second prince didn't speak, Mr. Lu suddenly asked, "You said that Your Majesty is inhumane, how many years has it been, and what kind of accident is it?" Since all those who know have been disposed of by His Majesty, how do you know? ”

The second prince also rolled his eyes.

Zhu Lan's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, "I can't remember exactly what year it is, it seems to be the thirty-seventh year of the Yongli calendar, and it seems to be the thirty-eighth year of the Yongli calendar.

However, no matter how invincible the Emperor Taishang is, he will not be able to escape the fate of the emperor after all, and the disaster of Xiao Wall will break out again under the prosperity of that prosperous world.

However, this time is different from the previous ones, this time, it is the only remaining son of the Emperor Taishang, the two best are fighting in secret......

In the end, it was His Majesty who won, but no one knew that His Majesty had already lost once. That time, His Royal Highness thought that he let him live out of brotherly love, but in fact, how could there still be brotherly love between their brothers?

The ridiculous Third Highness didn't know what kind of humiliation he had inflicted on the Fourth Highness, and thought that His Majesty was really willing to withdraw from the battle for the throne today? It's a pity that until he died, he didn't know why his fourth brother hated him so much, hehe......"

When Zhu Lan said this, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes, and he didn't know if it was for the Third Highness in his mouth or for the current emperor.

Mr. Lu was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "So, you mean that the current emperor is inhumane, and it was caused by the third prince back then, His Royal Highness Prince Yizhong?" Therefore, the current emperor hates it so much, and until he dies, he will not let go of the wife and child of the Yizhong Palace. ”

Zhu Lan nodded, and suddenly glanced at Mr. Lu. It's a pity that Mr. Lu is wearing a brown robe with his back to the moonlight, so he can't see his appearance clearly.

"Why did you tell this king, and if you really knew this, why did your father keep you by his side...... And if it's the king's...... Your Majesty, if he had been in the 378th year of the Yong calendar...... So whose son is this king? ”

The second prince stared at Zhu Lan deadly.

Zhu Lan tilted her head, "The reason why Your Majesty keeps the poor monk is because the poor monk is the sharpest knife in His Majesty's hand, and it is the sharp blade that clears all obstacles for him......

As for your life experience, if the poor monk says that you are the son of a poor monk, is Your Highness credible? ”

"You're looking for death!"

The second prince suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and rested it on Zhu Lan's shoulder.

Zhu Lan smiled and didn't dodge, "Your Highness's forgiveness is just a joke made by the poor monk, Your Highness's life experience, forgive the poor monk can't tell him for the time being." ”

"In short, Your Highness remembers one thing. With the heart of His Majesty today, if the eldest prince is here, His Majesty may be able to spare His Royal Highness's life, but once the eldest prince dies, His Majesty will never spare His Highness.

How to do it, please make a plan in advance. ”

The second prince retracted his sword in despair. What should he do, what can he do?

Originally, he thought that even if the emperor doubted him, as long as he kept a low profile, one day the truth would come to light and return his innocence. But suddenly someone told him that innocence was not important at all, and that as soon as the eldest prince died, he would definitely die......

He didn't doubt this, as long as what Zhu Lan said earlier was true, as long as he was not Emperor Jingtai's son, in this case, Emperor Jingtai really had no reason to spare his life.

Disappearing silently is the best destination for him......

What a ridiculous answer.

But he knew that maybe this was the truth, because this answer could confirm everything that had happened to him before.

"You still haven't answered Your Highness, why did you risk your life to take the initiative to tell Your Highness this!" Mr. Lu said coldly.

"If I say that His Royal Highness's biological parents are the deceased of the poor monk, and before she died, she entrusted the poor monk to protect His Highness, I don't know if His Highness may believe it?"

Zhu Lan said inexplicably sadly.

The second prince just treated indifferently.

"I knew that His Highness wouldn't believe it, hehe, it didn't matter, in fact, the poor monk told His Highness all this because he wanted to cooperate with His Highness.

The poor monk has hatred in his heart.

The poor monk has been loyal to His Majesty for more than 30 years, and he is willing to become a monk for him, and kills countless people for him, but in the end, what he gets is that the poor monk and his brothers were ordered to be hanged by him......

Now His Royal Highness is the same as the poor monk, desperate, it is better to cooperate with the poor monk and kill the tyrant, and the poor monk is willing to help His Highness reign in the world! ”

Zhu Lan ignored the sword on his shoulder, and stood up to worship.
