Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Storm Rises Again—The Return of the Prince

Ruochen trembled, stretched out his hand, just touched the purple mang, and retracted it as if electrocuted. How can he still have the face to take revenge, his father turned out to be a traitor, betraying his brother and his country. How could he do that!

Tears slowly filled his eyes.

Looking at the child in front of him who shrunk into a ball and suppressed his crying, Ruoxi only felt distressed. Squatting down, the man took him into his arms. "It's all right, it's all over, it's all over."

"Ruochen, do you remember what that person looked like?" Ruoxi knew that there must be something strange about this matter. Sure enough, Ruochen said that someone secretly told him about these old things, and secretly took him to see Ji Wuchen.

Ruochen recalled for a long time and shook his head, "That person has been wearing a mask all the time, and he can't see his appearance clearly. ”

"Okay, I know, rest early!"

"Sister!" Ruochen called Ruoxi, who was about to go out, "That, that ....."

"What's wrong?" Ruoxi looked at Ruochen, who wanted to speak and stopped, and her heart was clear, "Do you want me to protect Ji Wuchen?" ”

Mmmm, Ruochen nodded vigorously. When he was born, his father had passed away, and Uncle Ji told him a lot of his father's deeds that day, which was his only memory of his father, and he hoped to keep it, and Uncle Ji was so .....

"Don't worry, sister do your best."

Three days later, the prison caught fire, and the only prisoner in prison, Ji Wuchen, was buried in the fire.

On a suburban trail.

"The old things have passed, how do you plan for the days to come?" It was Ruoxi's voice, followed by Ruochen.

And standing opposite her turned out to be Ji Wuchen, who had been "buried in the fire".

"General Ling, thank you! Little master, I'll leave it to you. "Little master, take care!"

Riding horses and whipping up dust all the way.

Ruoxi designed a fire in the prison, found a death row prisoner with a similar body shape to Ji Wuchen as a substitute for the dead ghost, and used a trick to steal the sky and change the day to replace Ji Wuchen. Ruochen originally wanted to keep Ji Wuchen in Kyoto, but Ji Wuchen's identity as a rebel general was too sensitive, and staying by his side would inevitably endanger Ruochen. Ruoxi didn't agree to leave the hidden danger by his side anyway, so he simply let him go and let him gallop.

"Waste, what do I want you for!" The merciless whip slammed down, as if lying on the ground was not a person, but an inanimate object. In order to endure the pain, the ten fingers clasped tightly on the ground, leaving blood marks one after another.

A middle-aged man sat in the courtyard and watched coldly as the servant smoked the man on the ground. "You swear that you will definitely take Ling Ruoxi's life this time, what is the result?!"

"The subordinates are incompetent, and the lord is angry." Lihan Qi is like a gossamer, and it takes all the strength of the whole body to maintain a crooked kneeling posture. "My subordinates still have a plan......

Ruoxi's study.

"Can you find out who he is?" The person who can unconsciously avoid her eyeliner and lead Ruochen into the prison must be in a high position, Ruoxi suspects that this person is the same person as the mastermind behind the previous series of incidents in Yuzhou, so he has been ordering Mo Ze to investigate in secret.

"Nope. No clues were left. After Ruochen went to the prison, the cell boss said that he was sick and went home. I sent someone to check, but the cell boss didn't come home at all, and his subordinates speculated that he had been killed. ”

"Who is it?" This mysterious person in a high position has been secretly controlling this game of chess, and if he can't find it out as soon as possible, sooner or later it will become a big problem in his heart.

"Miss, someone from the palace has arrived." Before Ruoxi could come up with a reason, Qingyue's voice came from outside the door.

Ruoxi changed into court clothes and hurriedly entered the palace. Before entering the Tianli Palace, I heard Nangong Chen's hearty laughter from a distance. "Hahaha, Ruoxi, come in, come in."

"Come on, come on, Aiqing, let me introduce to you, this is Nangong Ling, my eldest brother's parent. Fortunately, the right minister, after many years of hard searching, found the bloodline of my Nangong clan. ”

The first time Ruoxi saw this person, he felt familiar.

It's him!

The person who intercepted and killed them outside the Guanyin Temple in Yuzhou, as well as the person on Luoxia Peak, were all led by him.

Nangong Chen summoned all the ministers into the palace today, which was to specially announce Nangong Ling's identity and hold a feast. Even Qin Huaizhi, who was stationed at the border, was recalled.

After three rounds of drinking, Ruoxi found a gap and pulled Grandpa Liu, "Grandpa Liu, please tell you something." ”

"General Ling, don't dare, don't dare, just ask if you have something."

"The identity of this prince?" Gonggong Liu has been in the palace for so many years, and he is transparent and white, and he is asking about it when he guesses. pursed his lips and smiled, "General Ling, don't worry, the identity of this prince is definitely right." ”

At that time in Yuzhou, they dropped the jade pendant in Luo Shuihua's black box. This jade pendant was a token of love given to Lin Feixue by Nangong Yu at that time, and it was a rare thing offered by foreign countries, and it was the only one in the world. Lin Feixue handed it over to Luo Shuihua before she died, and Luo Shuihua has not found out so far, and the contents of the box have been dropped.

That night, Lihan proposed this method, and Situ Ao also thought it was a good idea, but the difficulty was who would be the fake prince. To be able to fool the past, this is naturally what they expect, to hold the imperial power firmly in their own hands, this person must be a trusted and controllable person; If you can't fool the past, it will be a great sin for the nine clans.

Situ Ao is suspicious by nature, he can't trust others, and he has the intention to let his son Situ Shaoyun be this fake prince. However, although Situ Shaoyun is weak and can't practice martial arts, he has outstanding literary talents, and is known as the first talent in Beijing.

Li Han barely maintained a kneeling posture, seeing Situ Ao's concerns, "Lord, subordinates are willing to give it a try." ”

"You want to take the opportunity to escape?" Situ Ao's first reaction was that Lihan wanted to leave him, pinched the person's jaw fiercely, and threw the person out.

"Lord" coughed and coughed, as if he was about to vomit all the blood in his body, raised his head and swallowed a mouthful, before he reluctantly spoke, "Lord, subordinates, subordinates have no intention of defecting, if the lord does not believe, he can use poison to control his subordinates." ”

The instinctive fear of pain in his body wanted to escape from the person who gave him pain, but his will did not allow him to do so, and honestly sent his trembling body to Situ Ao's reach again.

Situ Ao looked at the person in front of him, damn it, why did he feel distressed. No, he can't think like that. Xinzhu died tragically in his arms back then, and Shaoyun's body, how can these be forgotten!

"Come on, take the bones."

The corner of Lihan's mouth pulled up a wry smile that seemed to be nothing, and it dissipated into the air before the master could notice it. There may be a trace of sadness and desolation that the owner does not perceive.

The bones were drained, and blood trickled down the corners of his mouth.

Father, don't you have the slightest pity for Lihan?

A special mark on the royal family - a three-petal peony. Li Han felt the cold knife against the back of his heart, and forged a peony mark little by little.

"King Ling, if you are respected, a cup." Just now, Nangong Chen canonized "Nangong Ling" as King Ling. Lihan, who is now King Lingling of Nangong, smiled and drank a drink with Ruoxi, "General Ling is polite, please take care of me in the future." ”

"General Ling, please stay." After the banquet was dispersed, Ruoxi was stopped by someone shouting as soon as he left the palace gate, "Old General Qin," Ruoxi turned over and dismounted, "What advice does the old general have?" "When Ruoxi first joined the army, he was under the command of Qin Huaizhi, this old general, for Ruoxi, was an old boss, and he was also a teacher and a friend.

"Stinky girl" Qin Huaizhi scolded with a smile. "To be serious, I've been at the border all year round, and I don't know what happened in Kyoto, this King Ling, what's going on?"

Ruoxi invited people back to the house, and repeated what he heard from Gonggong Liu.

Qin Huaizhi thought for a moment, "So, this King Ling was found by Prime Minister Situ Cheng?" ”

"That's right, the Holy Lord did ask him to find out the whereabouts of Princess Yu back then. Unexpectedly, this princess Yu was not found, but she found the widow of the feather king. ”

"Ruoxi, tell me the truth, this King Ling, can you trust it?"

Ruoxi looked at Qin Huai deeply, and smiled lightly.

"Hahaha, you ghost girl. Okay, I'm going back to the northwest border in three days, and I'll leave this Kyoto matter to you young people. But you still have to keep an eye on it. ”

Sending people out of the house, Ruoxi fell into deep thought again. She could conclude that this King Ling was the two groups of people who assassinated her, could it be that he did this deliberately because he knew his identity and angered Nangong Chen? Ruoxi always felt that something was wrong.

"Mo Ze, if you go to Yuzhou overnight, you will say that your old friend misses you, and let Luo Shuihua come to Kyoto." To be honest, Ruoxi didn't know why, but her intuition told her that this matter might be related to Luo Shuihua.

"Remember, go secretly and don't let anyone know."

What Ruoxi didn't expect was that in addition to Luo Shuihua, there was also an old man.

"Miss Luwan?"

"After you left, I was worried that the gang would trouble Miss Luwan, so I left her in the Luoxue Pavilion, which happened to be a medical skill and could help in the Pavilion. No, Mo Ze went to look for me, and I brought him with me when I thought about it. Luo Shuihua glanced at Mo Ze intentionally or unintentionally. Ruoxi also found that this kid was not quite right, why was he still blushing.

But think about it, too, it's normal to have this idea when you are in your twenties. If you are thinking about it, you have to check the details of this green grace, if there is no problem, it is okay to match the two of them.

"Alright, let's go inside."

Mo Ze took Lu Wan out for a stroll, and only Ruoxi and Luo Shuihua were left in the house.

"Why, General Ling specially sent someone to invite us here, wouldn't it be just to drink wine and eat meat." Luo Shuihua didn't forget to tease while eating.

"Of course! The prince returns, the saint is in a good mood, and those of us who are subordinates will naturally have an easy life. ”

Luo Shuihua's hand shaking while serving the soup was, "Prince? Is there still a prince left behind in the saints? ”

Ruoxi has been observing Luo Shuihua's every move, "Of course not, it is said that he is the son of King Xianyu." This can be regarded as a palace secret. After Princess Yu left, the saint has been sending people to search for her, no, Princess Yu did not find it, but she found the prince. ”
