As soon as Chu Yu stepped into the carriage, he smelled a fresh fragrance of bamboo leaves in the air, which smelled very good. Chu Yu liked the taste.

She glanced at the Seventh Prince, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, and a hint of inquiry flashed in her eyes, this was the first time she had smelled such a strong and fragrant smell on him.

"Let's go." , Chu Yu sat down firmly and whispered in the direction of the car door.

The Seventh Prince opened his eyes at the right time, looked at Chu Yu, and said lightly, "Did you sleep well?" ”

"Very good." , Chu Yu replied.

"Hmm."

Silence returned to the carriage.

The carriage moved slowly, and in a quarter of an hour it came to the palace gate.

In view of the assassination last night, a new order was issued in the palace, and all carriages were not allowed to enter the palace gates, and weapons could not be carried on their bodies.

Chu Yu's short knife was temporarily accepted by the eunuch at the palace gate, and the eunuch also wanted to give the silver needle that intercepted her, but fortunately, the seventh prince explained that this was a silver needle for the emperor's diagnosis and treatment, and the eunuch let them go.

Crossing the palace gate, the two went straight to the emperor's bedroom.

There were already quite a few people standing in the dormitory.

The queen, the crown prince, and the second prince are all there.

The queen is dressed very elegantly today, and she is not as glamorous as before.

Chu Yu and the Seventh Prince stepped into the palace gate softly, and at a glance, they saw that the emperor was lying on the dragon bed, his face pale. His shirt was half-open, and a white strap-on was wrapped from his chest to his back.

A physician dressed in imperial doctor costume was half-squatting and half-kneeling on the edge of the dragon's bed, concentrating on checking the emperor's pulse.

Chu Yu and the Seventh Prince tacitly stood aside and did not disturb silently.

The imperial doctor seemed to be beginning to treat the emperor, he put his hands on the emperor's wrist half-folded, his brows were tightly locked, and the situation seemed not optimistic.

"Your Majesty, although your arrow wound did not hurt your liver, I am afraid that it will leave the root of the disease." , the imperial doctor took a step back and arched his hand.

The emperor opened his tired eyes and sighed, "It's okay, I'm lucky to be alive." ”

"Your Majesty." , the queen mother stepped forward, sat on the edge of the dragon bed, and shook the emperor's hand.

"Ahem." , The emperor coughed lightly, but found that his chest hurt as soon as he coughed, and he couldn't even speak loudly, "The affairs of the court will be handled by the prince for the time being, and the seventh prince and the second prince will assist." ”

"Yes." , the three named nodded.

Thinking that he still had to explain his poisoning, the prince stepped forward and said, "Father, in fact, Erchen cleared the residual poison a few days ago, but he thought of Xiliangguo's recent series of strange actions, so he kept an eye on it, Erchen just wanted to see if Xiliangguo really wanted to negotiate peace, but I didn't expect that Xiliang really didn't want to negotiate peace." ”

"You're doing a great job." , The emperor's voice is not loud, but it is still powerful.

"Actually, Erchen is not an unknown prophet, Erchen received an anonymous letter a few days ago." Between the words, the prince took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the emperor lying on the bed.

The emperor took the yellowed letterhead, spread it out and looked at it carefully, his face was expressionless, and he said for a long time, "Where did this letterhead come from?" ”

"The retainers don't know, and there is no way to find out."

"Since this person knows the news and reports to you, it must be not an enemy but a friend." , The emperor sighed, and then returned the letterhead to the prince, and said, "Okay, I am tired today, you can retreat." ”

"Yes."

......

This year is destined to be an extraordinary one.

Because the emperor has been bedridden for a long time and the second prince was injured in marriage, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve has less lively and relaxed atmosphere than in previous years.

Although the gongs and drums sounded in the capital and the artillery battles were endless, Chu Yu didn't feel much relaxed and happy. Maybe I thought it was the cautious expressions of the people on the street.

After so many assassinations and assassinations, even the emperor was stabbed on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, and now everyone in the capital is in danger.

Chu Yu and the Seven Princes walked on the streets of the capital, looking at the starlight and fireworks in the sky, looking a little trance-like.

Glancing at the distant starry sky, "Wen Jin, you know that Xiliang's matter is not so simple. ”

"Yes, but it's time for Xiliang to except." , the Seventh Prince nodded. He believed that his father was also waiting for this opportunity to eradicate Xiliang in the name of righteousness.

Chu Yu was stunned, this was something she didn't expect, all along, Xiliang had paid tribute to Beize, although Xiliang occasionally offended the border, but for Beize, it was all innocuous and could not constitute a threat. Kitazawa repelled them and tolerated them.

Now, the second prince and the third princess of Xiliang have openly assassinated King Beize, which Beize can't bear. Xiliang will definitely be destroyed.

Xiliang is small and lacks troops, so it is not enough to risk the loss of the country to assassinate Emperor Beize.

"How can the emperor of Xiliang Kingdom sit idly by?" , Chu Yu was puzzled, she didn't believe that the emperor of Xiliang could still calm down after receiving the news.

The Seventh Prince said meaningfully, "Of course he won't sit idly by, but the matter is out of his control." ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, the royal capital of Xiliang Kingdom has changed greatly now." , The Seven Princes looked to the west, with a distant vision.

Chu Yu looked at the direction of the Seven Princes' gaze, his mind was complicated, that was the direction of the Xiliang Kingdom.

The Xiliang in the mouth of the two is falling into a stalemate situation at the moment.

The royal capital of Xiliang Kingdom is brightly lit at the moment, and the fire is bright and extinguished, dazzling as the day.

It's just that this light is not because of Chinese New Year's Eve, but because of the palace change.

Inside the red door, a middle-aged man in a python robe was sitting at the desk at the moment, his expression indifferent and desolate.

"Huan'er, why did you become the way you are?" , The man in the python robe looked mournful, as if he wanted to use words to influence the murderous young man in front of him.

If Chu Yu was here, he would definitely find out that the Huan'er in the mouth of this python-robed man was the child she saved before.

Bai Lihuan sneered, "Dog Emperor! You have half the credit for what I have become. If he hadn't sat back and watched him and his mother being hunted down, why did his mother die tragically? How did he get to where he is today?

"Don't talk nonsense, let's get the idea!" , Bai Lihuan pointed at the long sword in his hand and pointed straight at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

"Rebel! What a rebel! Bai Liming looked at the gloomy Bai Lihuan in front of him, and his heart was depressed.

"Shut up, I don't have a father like you!" , Bai Lihuan became impatient when he heard the word rebel.

Father, he is not worthy.

"If I don't go out again in a quarter of an hour, you don't want to get out alive." , Baili Huan said cruelly, "Don't think that your nest of princes can come to save you." ”

"What happened to Han'er?" , Bai Liming's eyes widened angrily, and he couldn't help but take a step forward excitedly, and immediately a man in black put a cold knife on his neck.

Bai Lihuan sneered in his heart and said indifferently, "It turns out that you will also care about your son." I thought you were so cold-blooded and ruthless, but it turns out that you are only cold-blooded and ruthless to me. ”

Bai Liming's face changed, and he said embarrassedly, "Huan'er, it's actually ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to say that you treat me well, then it's better to be free, you wrote the holy decree of the automatic meditation position is your compensation for the debt you have owed to our mother and son over the years." , Bailihuan said indifferently.

Bai Liming looked at the thin son in front of him, and had mixed feelings in his heart. He finally failed them. Either way, no matter what!

With a sigh, Bai Liming turned around and wrote a holy decree, and then printed the jade seal under Bai Lihuan's gaze.

Bai Lihuan motioned to the man in black beside him to hand over the holy decree, and after taking a look at it, he let the man in black carry Bai Liming down.

Before leaving, Bai Liming glanced at Bai Lihuan with a sad expression, and then sighed lightly.

Bai Lihuan snorted coldly, he only acted as Bai Liming on the spot.

The night was slightly thick, and the lights reflected half of the sky in the Xiliang Palace.

The red door was opened with a clang, and Baili Huan walked in front of the soldiers with an expressionless face, holding the holy decree in his hand to the air, and said sharply, "The first emperor has a will, the first emperor admits that he has no virtue, and he is ashamed of Concubine Liang, so he specially ordered me to give up the throne and ordered me to take the position of the Son of Heaven immediately." ”

After hearing this, the soldiers hurriedly knelt down and received the order.

A sound of long live the emperor resounded throughout the palace.

Overnight, the situation in Xiliang changed abruptly.

A man in a dark coat hidden in the shadows looked thoughtfully in Bai Lihuan's direction. A man dressed in gray beside him said softly, "Master, Bailihuan is now the emperor, and he will definitely not be able to tolerate you." ”

"Not necessarily. I admit that I have never done anything to shame him. The corners of the man's mouth hooked up with a cold smile.

After hearing this, the gray-clothed man behind him looked at the face that looked red in the light of the lights from a distance, and a little thought flashed in his heart.

He knew why Bai Lihuan would do this? But if their master hasn't done anything to be sorry for them, will Baili Ming let them go? After all, when their mother and son were bullied, they did not lend a hand, but just stood by.

In another sense, they are also persecutors.

And the master, the master's previous plan was to usurp the position of the prince, but now Bai Lihuan's sudden appearance broke all the plans of the master, and the master he .....

"Master, now that the crown prince has lost power, and the second prince and the third princess have been captured, the best choice is to take refuge in Bailihuan." , the man in gray said his thoughts.

Bai Li Zhan smiled merryly, "Don't worry, I'll be a merry prince for a while." Bai Lihuan seems to have gotten the entire Xiliang, but it's not. Now that the assassination attempt of the second prince has failed, Bei Ze will definitely send troops to attack Xiliang, if Baili Huan can't bear Bei Ze, it will be a loss of popular support. ”

"When the time comes, the master will lead 100,000 elite soldiers to take over."

"Well, there's growth." , Bai Li Zhan said with a smile, and the feather fan in his hand shook gently.

"Let's go, don't look at it, if the cold wind blows too much, it will catch a cold." , Bai Li Zhan turned around, leaving a fluttering sentence.

The gray-clothed man behind him glanced meaningfully in Bailihuan's direction, and then followed the man in Xuanyi.

It was supposed to be a festive Chinese New Year's Eve, but it wasn't festive at all.
