The more Murong Xuancheng spoke, the more excited he became, and after he finished speaking, he coughed non-stop, Jiang Hai hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his back for him and gave him relief, and said: "Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon body!" ”

Fang Qingzhou and Murong Fu both had decadent faces, and their bodies fell to the ground. Murong Fu smiled bitterly, it turned out that his father had seen everything he had done over the years, so even though he knew that he had not done anything about the private possession of weapons, he did not investigate again, because he was already extremely disappointed in himself.

Fang Qingzhou looked stunned, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, the laughter was extremely sad, and there were tears in his eyes.

Is it to say that he is at fault? It's hard to tell. As the head of the Fang family, he hopes that the Fang family can always be glorious and prosperous, and those juniors of the Fang family are indeed a little more condescending on weekdays, but he just ordered them not to do too much, and the others will be left to their own devices. As for the court, he wanted to be a good official too much, and he was too conceited, he always felt that what he said was the most correct and the most conducive to Donglin, so he acted arbitrarily, but if you think about it carefully, there are indeed many times when he even refutes His Majesty's opinion.

Even so, Fang Qingzhou still didn't feel that he was at fault, he looked up at Murong Xuancheng: "I am dedicated to Donglin, and I have a clear conscience." ”

"A clear conscience? Then what do you mean by telling me that you are secretly training the army? ”

Fang Qingzhou didn't answer, just looked at Murong Xuancheng calmly.

Murong Xuancheng laughed angrily: "Okay! Since you say that you have a clear conscience, then I will not say more, and go to the prison to reflect. ”

After speaking, the two Praetorian Guards came in and carried Fang Qingzhou out, Fang Qingzhou did not resist and let the Praetorian Guards take him out.

In Yikun Palace, Fang Qingling was wearing a queen's formal dress, a red phoenix robe, and a phoenix crown, dignified and luxurious. She sat in the main hall of Yikun Palace, smiling and waiting for his son to pick her up. Her personal palace maid Xi'er was sent to inquire about the news, and after waiting for a long time, the shouting and killing outside disappeared, and Fang Qingling stood up excitedly, succeeded?!

Just as she was about to leave her seat, Xi'er stumbled in, "Niangniang, it's not good!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Fang have all been arrested and sent to the Heart Cultivation Palace! ”

"What?!" Fang Qingling's legs went limp, and he fell on the seat. Doesn't it say foolproof?

"What's going on? Why is this happening? ”

Xi'er looked panicked, "It's General Chu, General Chu has already gotten the news, and he is waiting for Lord Fang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the gate of the palace." ”

"It's over!" Fang Qingling's face turned pale, this is really the end!

Fang Qingling's head was blank, and she sat in place for a long time without reacting, Xi'er stepped forward worriedly, helped her and asked, "Niangniang?" Empress? What's next? ”

Fang Qingling raised his head again, and said with a straight face: "Help the palace to get up, the palace is going to the Heart Cultivation Palace!" ”

Walking all the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace, Fang Qingling happened to see Fang Qingzhou being carried out, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "Big brother!" ”

Fang Qingzhou looked at Fang Qingling in front of him, smiled at her, and said, "Little sister, don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Fang Qingling burst into tears, "Big brother, it's all because I'm useless, I can't help you!" ”

Fang Qingzhou stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Fang Qingling's face, "You can't cry, you are the daughter of the Fang family, you are the queen of Donglin, you can't lose your manners." ”

Fang Qingling cried more and more when he heard this, "It's all my fault, it's me who hurt you!" ”

Fang Qingzhou chuckled and said: "You are not wrong, Your Majesty is sorry for you, don't blame yourself, eldest brother does not regret everything he did today." ”

"You wait for me, I'll go and beg Your Majesty, I'll go and beg Your Majesty!" Fang Qingling took a few steps back and said to Fang Qingzhou.

Fang Qingzhou wanted to stop her, but he didn't, he just shook his head, "Little sister, why are you doing this?" ”

Fang Qingzhou knew that it was useless for her to intercede, but he understood the little sister's temperament, so he could only let her go.

Entering the Heart Nourishing Palace, Fang Qingling looked at Murong Fu, who was kneeling on the ground without any of his previous spirits, and the pain in his heart was unbearable.

"Fu'er!"

When Murong Fu heard Fang Qingling's voice, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes immediately turned red, "Queen Mother, my son has disappointed you." ”

Fang Qingling knelt down to brush the hair from his face for him, and said with tears in his eyes: "The queen mother doesn't blame you, it's because the queen mother didn't take care of you." ”

Murong Fu suddenly grabbed her hand and said excitedly, "Go back quickly!" You shouldn't be here! ”

"It's okay, don't be afraid, the queen mother won't go anywhere, I'll be here with you." Fang Qingling grabbed Murong Fu's hands, held them tightly, and showed him a comforting smile.

Murong Fu's expression was a little broken, he turned his head and kowtowed to Murong Xuancheng, "Father, the son knows his mistakes, and the son is willing to be punished, but please let go of the queen mother, she doesn't know anything, she hasn't done anything, please let her go!" ”

Murong Xuancheng endured the sadness in his heart, and said to Murong Fu: "You have done such a rebellious thing, but you still know that you are thinking of your mother, but can you think of me in your heart?" Have you ever wondered what would happen to me? ”

Fang Qingling sobbed and kowtowed to Murong Xuancheng, "Your Majesty, Fu'er just did something wrong for a while, but he didn't hurt you, Your Majesty." And my eldest brother, he is also dedicated to the east! The concubine is willing to apologize for her sins with death, and I only ask Your Majesty to spare Fu'er and eldest brother for the sake of our husband and wife! ”

Murong Fu shook his head, "No, father, the son knows that he is guilty, the son is willing to confess his guilt and bow to the law, please let go of the queen mother, the uncle is also forced by the son, he has always been loyal to his father in his heart, please let the father and emperor let go of the uncle, all the sins are willing to be borne by the son!" ”

Murong Xuancheng intuitively felt unbearable pain in his chest, and a mouthful of fishy sweetness came up, he swallowed it forcibly, covered his chest, and asked, "Bear?" Do you know how to take on it at this time? ”

Murong Fu fell to the ground, "Erchen is willing to apologize with death!" ”

"Good! I've got you covered! Jiang Hai! Give poisoned wine! Murong Xuancheng didn't want to say more, only shouted about the poisonous wine on the river and the sea.

Jiang Hai sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he knew that His Majesty would definitely not let His Highness go, so he silently brought the poisonous wine and stood in front of Murong Fu, full of sadness.

He still remembered that when Murong Fu was a child, he liked to stick to him the most, and he always pestered him at that time, asking his father what he liked, and he went to find it for his father; will ask him if his father has praised him, whether he has said that he has done something wrong, and he will definitely correct it; He said that he was the crown prince, and he wanted to study hard and share his father's worries when he grew up.

The past is vivid, but now Murong Fu has not become the person he once wanted to be. Jiang Hai handed over the poisoned wine and said to Murong Fu: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there will be no pain when you drink this wine, you can go with peace of mind." ”

Murong Fu took the wine glass and smiled at Jiang Hai: "Thank you Gonggong Jiang." ”

Jiang Hai looked at his smile and turned his head unbearably.

Murong Fu looked sideways at Fang Qingling and smiled lightly at her, "Queen Mother, my son is not filial, and I will repay you for your nurturing in the next life." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and drank the cup of poisonous wine, and his face was relieved.

Fang Qingling seemed to be frozen, looking straight at him, his mouth slightly open, but he couldn't make any sound. It wasn't until Murong Fu fell to the ground and bled that she crawled over, hugged Murong Fu's body, and cried loudly: "Fu'er! ”

Murong Xuancheng closed his eyes, unwilling to look at them again.

At this time, Chu Yuntian and Murong Qian had already captured all the Fang family's rebels. The weapons were all handed in, Chu Yuntian looked at these sophisticated weapons and said, "I have to say, Fang Qingzhou really made a bloody investment, and none of my soldiers have such good weapons!" ”

Chu Yichuan said: "The Fang family has a big business, so they are naturally willing to spend money. ”

Murong Qian didn't have the leisure to chat, he looked in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he couldn't tell what emotions were in his eyes.

Chu Yuntian looked at Murong Qian, and also knew the complexity of his heart at the moment, and said to him: "Your Highness, we have already counted it, you go to the palace, Your Majesty should need your company at this moment." ”

Murong Qian was silent for a long time before he nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

When Murong Qian entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, Murong Fu and Fang Qingling were no longer in the hall. He looked at the empty wine glass on the ground, his pupils narrowed, and he had already guessed what was happening. Suppressing his mood, he looked up at Murong Xuancheng, only to see that his face was tired, and there were red threads in his eyes, and he felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought about it.

"Erchen has seen his father."

"Well, has it all been taken care of?" Murong Xuancheng's voice was a little hoarse.

"Well, it's all dealt with, but General Chu is still settling the rebels."

"Okay, you've all worked hard."

“……”

After a period of silence, Murong Xuancheng leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes and did not speak again.

Murong Qian stood in place and looked at him, then walked over to him, stood behind Murong Xuancheng, and rubbed his temples for him.

"Eighth brother, he ...... Father, please mourn. Murong Qian didn't know how to comfort Murong Xuancheng.

"You say, is it because my father is too much of a failure?" Murong Xuancheng's tone was a little depressed.

Murong Qian shook his head: "No, it's because the eighth brother doesn't understand his father's good intentions and has gone astray, and this matter has nothing to do with his father." ”

Murong Xuancheng sighed, "I still remember that when he was eight years old, he was naughty and playful, and he escaped the national policy class that day, and I punished him for the board, but he didn't say a word when he was beaten. Afterwards, I asked him why he didn't cry, and he said that I had told him that as a prince, he should know his responsibilities and not act willfully, because he was wrong for skipping the textbook and deserved to be punished. It was then that I truly recognized him as the crown prince, but now, he has completely forgotten what he had said. ”

Murong Qian just quietly pressed for Murong Xuancheng, he knew that his father just needed a listener at this time.

"Alas, now, only you and the sixth child are by my side, and I only hope that you brothers will not follow in his footsteps."

Murong Qian replied respectfully: "Father, rest assured, the sons will definitely be filial to their father." ”

Murong Xuancheng was in a better mood, he stretched out his hand and asked Jiang Hai to help him up, and after standing up, he said to Murong Qian: "Okay, you are also tired tonight, it is still early from the early dynasty, you go back to rest first, and when the early dynasty enters the palace, I will reward you for your meritorious deeds." ”

Murong Qian stepped back and knelt down, saluted respectfully, and said to Murong Xuancheng: "The son respects his father." ”

Back at King An's Mansion, Murong Qian first bathed and changed clothes, and after washing off the blood stains on his body, he did not go back to his room to rest, but went to the study again, tonight was too thrilling, he couldn't sleep at all.

The eighth child has gone, he is also very sad in his heart, after all, he is a brother, but he ended up like this, he remembered many things when he was a child, there was no intrigue at that time, only simple brotherhood, he still remembered that when he was ten years old, the eighth was only seven years old. When playing with the eighth in Yikun Palace, he accidentally broke a vase that the queen loved, and the eighth was afraid that he would be scolded by the queen, and finally he would have to implicate Concubine Xian, because the queen was at odds with Concubine Xian at that time, and often troubled her. Murong Fu didn't want to see such a good person as Concubine Xian being punished for no reason, so he told him that the vase of the queen mother was broken by him, after all, it was his own son, and the queen just said a few words to him and the matter was over.

Thinking of a lot of things, Murong Qian suddenly didn't want to fight anymore, and the fight finally turned into a sword confrontation between brothers, either you die or I live.

can't enjoy the warm family affection of ordinary people, only indifferent intrigue, this is the sadness of being in the royal family.
