Chapter 131: True and False Seventeen Kings
The long figure in the night was surrounded by red petals, guarding Yu Chi Jincheng beside him, Gu Ye Qiufeng and Ji Ruoshui had their eyes wide open, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Two identical faces appeared in front of them, and there were actually two lieutenants Chi Jincheng?!
The long figure moved, he waved his hand lightly, and the red flower flew towards Gu Ye Qiufeng and Ji Ruoshui like eyes, and the two of them couldn't even defend, so they were embedded in the body by the petals, covered in blood.
"Let's go!" The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, Gu Ye Qiufeng knew that the two of them were not the opponents of Yu Chi Jincheng in front of him, so he pulled Ji Ruoshui, and after a ***, he disappeared in place.
"You, you're still alive......" The double knives in his hands trembled slightly, and Yu Chi Jincheng looked at the person in front of him, his voice trembled, but with surprise.
"Big brother, I'm naturally still alive." Li Er hooked his lips and smiled, and helped the person with surprise in his eyes up, it turned out that the person was not Wei Chi Jincheng, but Li Yi who pretended to be him.
"Second brother, the prince and I both thought you had ...... Since you're still alive, why are you back in Kyoto now? Li Yi could not hide the surprise on his face, and held Li Er's hand and did not let go.
"It's hard to put into words, big brother, I'm still alive, thanks to Di'er." Li Er said, turning to look behind the tree.
Li Yi also followed his gaze to look there, only to see a pale cyan figure curling in the night, beautiful and refined, like a fairy.
Li Er walked over and carefully hugged her shoulders, the doting in his eyes was self-evident.
Li Yi was even more shocked, this woman was clearly one of the prince's side concubines, how could she be so close to Li Er, and looking at her appearance, it seemed that she knew Li Er's identity, in this case, why did she and Li Er be like lovers?
Wen Di raised his eyes and saw Li Yi, so he nodded at him: "Guard Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Side, side concubine." Li Yi bowed his head and saluted her, but the doubts in his heart became stronger and stronger.
As if he understood his thoughts, Li Er smiled faintly: "Big brother, now the prince must not be in the capital, and we, as his stand-in, naturally want to do everything well before the prince returns to Beijing." With Di'er by his side, he is the real Seventeenth Prince, doesn't the eldest brother think this statement is easier to believe? ”
When Li Yi heard this, he instantly understood Li Er's thoughts. No wonder for so many years, only Li Er's status in the heart of the Seventeenth Prince is different. The fact that he was able to come up with this solution at such a time shows his wisdom. And Concubine Wen had long heard that she was offering advice for the prince's plan, and thinking that this method was also the result of the discussion between the two.
"Guard Li, now that the seventeenth prince has returned to Beijing, everything will be slowly resolved, your mission as a stand-in has ended, now quickly restore your identity, and secretly protect is the right way. As for the rest, we've already done it before, so you don't have to worry about it. Wen Di opened his mouth lightly, his voice was not loud, but his tone did not allow others to question him.
When Li heard this, he bowed his head and fell to the ground: "My subordinates obey orders." ”
Li Ersi looked around: "In the past few days, you have worked hard to remove all the obstacles in front of the throne, and attracted the attention of those forces, so leave the rest to me." ”
Li Yi had already integrated into the role, bowed down and nodded: "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
Li Er held Wen Di in his arms, and disappeared into the dark night after a few ups and downs.
The next day, the Seventeen Kings' Mansion mysteriously drove out of a carriage and headed in the direction of the Forbidden City. When the Praetorian Guards of the Forbidden City saw the faces of the people who came, the whole person was stunned, no one dared to stop them at all, and some people hurried into the palace to report to Yu Chi Longcheng.
Above the court, Yu Chi Longcheng sat on the dragon chair and did not say a word in the face of the recital handed over by the Criminal Department. The Manchu ministers were solemn and didn't know what to say. In the capital overnight, all the flesh and blood of Yu Chi Longcheng were killed, and no one dared to bring it up first when he heard that there was no successor to the dynasty.
In the end, the old prime minister had no choice but to walk out of the class, coughed lightly twice and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister heard that there have been a series of bloody cases in the capital recently, and many children of the royal family have been slaughtered, and I am afraid that the royal family of the dynasty is only ......."
The latter words have not yet been spoken, only to hear a person outside the hall speak loudly: "I heard that there is not a single prince left in the dynasty, please rest assured that the old prime minister." ”
Hearing that familiar voice, all the courtiers turned their heads together, and when they saw the tall figure standing outside the hall, they all exhaled in a low voice, and even Yu Chi Longcheng was so excited that he got up from the dragon chair.
"Jin'er...... Old Seventeen! You're back! ”
Li Er pretended to be Yu Chi Jincheng, interlocked his fingers with Wen Di, strode up to the hall, and both knelt down to salute Yu Chi Longcheng.
"The son-in-law (daughter-in-law) knocks on the father, long live the father, long live the father!"
Seeing a pair of beautiful people in His Royal Highness, how could Yu Chi Longcheng bear to let them kneel, and hurriedly asked the eunuch to give them a seat.
The ministers on the side were naturally so shocked that they almost swallowed their tongues: Didn't Chi Jincheng, the seventeenth prince, die at the border pass, why did he suddenly appear again, and still carry the flute that was originally a side concubine? This concubine is also bold, but she is just a concubine, and she actually calls her daughter-in-law in front of the emperor, which is unreasonable, and the crime is one more degree!
Knowing the thoughts of the ministers, the old prime minister was well versed in the way of getting along with the monarchs and ministers, and hurriedly took the lead in kneeling: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the seventeenth prince can return safely, but God bless me in vain!" ”
When the others saw that the prime minister was like this, they all woke up and knelt down one after another: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
"Hahahaha......" Yu Chi Longcheng was happy in his heart, and naturally exempted the courtesy of the ministers, "Everyone, Aiqing, my son Yu Chi Jincheng is not so easy to die, my son, I know best!" ”
Only then did everyone understand why the emperor was disgusted with their decision to set up another crown prince at the beginning, and dared to love the emperor to strategize, and he had long known that his favorite youngest son was still alive, but he just didn't want others to know. Those who made a fuss at the beginning have been punished by the emperor, and some of them have followed the shouting, but now they are in a cold sweat, for fear that the emperor will suddenly remember this matter and even do it himself.
However, Yu Chi Longcheng was in a very good mood, and he just announced to the ministers with a smile: "Everyone, Aiqing, today my son Yu Chi Jincheng returns, and I have news to announce. ”
When the ministers heard this, they immediately stood with their heads bowed and listened carefully to what the emperor said.
"As you say, my sons and grandsons have almost all lost in this open and secret battle for succession, but I have heard of the dynasty in vain, and the tradition of the remnant being the king will not change! Today, I announced in front of all the secretaries that I would appoint the seventeenth prince as the crown prince and Wendi as the crown prince and concubine, and the Ministry of Rites would quickly choose a good day and an auspicious day to handle this matter, and there must be no mistake!"
When Li Er heard this, his body shook, and he glanced at Wen Di, immediately took her hand, and both knelt down to thank him: "Son-in-law (daughter-in-law) thank your father for your grace!" ”
"Hehehe...... Get up, not only do I have to hold a ceremony to crown the prince, but I also want to hold a beautiful wedding for you! Wen Di girl, you are the crown princess I personally selected, and I want to give you a beautiful wedding ceremony! Yu Chi Longcheng was in a very good mood, smiling, and his face was so kind, like a loving father who loves his children.
"My daughter-in-law thanked my father!" Wen Di smiled, bowed deeply, and Li Er next to her supported her, and also thanked her, seeing that Yu Chi Longcheng nodded frequently, overjoyed.
Above the court, the haze of many days was washed away by the joy of Yu Chi Jincheng's return, Yu Chi Longcheng got down early, took the hands of the two, and came to the imperial garden.
"Hehehehe...... I knew that my son would not die so easily! Yu Chi Longcheng looked at Li Er's face, and the smile was full of happiness, relief and satisfaction.
Li Er also smiled faintly, his eyes also showed respect and love for Yu Chi Longcheng, and the father and son looked at each other like that.
Wen Di watched from the side, his eyes down and he was silent.
In her opinion, Li Er's step is dangerous and dangerous, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor didn't have much contact with Wei Chi Jincheng, and Li Er knew Wei Chi Jincheng's habits well, he was afraid that he would be exposed, it would be a big crime of bullying the king. But he was able to treat himself as the seventeenth prince without changing his face, and he talked about the relationship between father and son with the emperor, which really made Wen Di admire. As the crown princess appointed by the emperor, all she can do is cooperate.
That night, the two were arranged to rest in the East Palace. The East Palace of the Prince has not been inhabited for many years, but it is cleaned every day and is spotless. Li Er pulled Wendi in, only to feel a wave of vicissitudes of time spreading.
The emperors of every generation of vain dynasties were baptized by this blood before they were able to enter the East Palace, and some even directly killed all their brothers and directly ascended the throne as emperor. The tips of his fingers lightly touched everything here, and the bloody wind of the past seemed to appear in front of him.
"Xianggong, what's wrong?" Wen Di saw that Li Er didn't answer, so he turned his head and asked.
Li Er shook his head and smiled: "Di'er thinks too much, but she has never entered the East Palace, so she just sighs." ”
Wen Di nodded, but was picked up by Li Er: "After chatting with my father for a day, playing chess with him and talking to him, isn't Di'er tired?" ”
Poof, he laughed, and Wen Di gently poked his cheek: "I dare to be in love with my father-in-law because I feel that I am talking to my father-in-law and snub you." ”
Li Er smiled evilly and whispered in her ear: "When you are tired, just say it, and you will sleep for your husband." ”
After speaking, despite the fact that the person in his arms had long been ashamed, his ears were red, and he carried her into the apse in three or two steps.
The palace maids have already prepared the water for bathing, the East Palace is extremely gorgeous, and the bathing pool is also very large, although it is not as good as the hot springs in the mountains, but it is enough for the two to play and frolic.
dismissed all the palace maids who were waiting, Li Ersan removed the little woman's clothes twice, took off himself cleanly, wrapped around her from behind, and gently gnawed her earlobes.
He was so embarrassed that he wanted to turn his head to speak, but he was caught by his long-awaited lips, and he couldn't say half a word shyly.
The two were entangled, slowly entering the water, and under the mist, only two entangled and overlapping figures could be dimly seen, accompanied by embarrassing voices from time to time.
Opening her eyes full of mist, Wen Di's chest rose and fell violently, and she looked at the beautiful man opposite her: "Xianggong, aren't you afraid?" ”
The softness of the little woman tugged at his heartstrings little by little, and Li Er dotingly looked at her with those good-looking phoenix eyes, his palms moving up and down her body, saying that he was helping her take a bath, but he was enjoying her tenderness.
"Afraid of what?"
"This is too a**, you're just ...... after all"
"Shhhhh......h
"Di'er, remember, here, I am the seventeenth prince, the crown prince. And you are my concubine. ”
