Empress Ning's hoarse voice was exhausted, Emperor Jianwen's heart softened for a moment, and then hardened again, and said lightly: "It is a fact that your Ning family has monopolized the court all these years, your Empress Ning is scheming, and it is a fact that she murdered the concubine, ** has a soft personality and is unbearable, it is a fact that you killed Li'er back then, and it is also a fact that you want to bully Yi'er, how do you want me to remember your good?" ”

Empress Ning's face turned pale suddenly, and she trembled: "It turns out that you all know." ”

She always thought that the incident was well concealed back then, but it turned out that everything was her self-deception.

Emperor Jianwen sneered: "Yi'er is the only child of me and Li'er, how can I not know about him?" ”

Empress Ning laughed wildly and laughed at herself: "It turns out that you know everything, but you seem to be lying beside the palace without knowing it all these years, Chu Yutian, you are really calculating." ”

Emperor Jianwen said coldly: "It's not too late for you to know now. ”

Empress Ning looked at him, there was no tenderness in her eyes, and she said coldly: "Chu Yutian, in the half a month with your son, although the palace was terrified, it was undeniable that his tenderness made the palace obsessed. ”

Emperor Jianwen shouted angrily: "**! Shameless! ”

Empress Ning said with an indifferent face: "Didn't the emperor let this palace die?" Do it. After saying that, he closed his eyes.

Emperor Jianwen sneered: "In addition to telling you this, I also want you to draw a bet today. ”

Empress Ning opened her eyes and said mockingly: "What if this palace doesn't work? ”

Emperor Jianwen smiled cruelly and said, "Now that the Dongkou rebellion has not stopped, I may be able to send Xiao'er to quell the chaos." ”

Empress Ning glared at him angrily and said angrily: "Chu Yutian, tiger poison does not eat children!" "Xiao'er will only spend all day drinking, if you go to quell the rebellion, you will be sent to death, this man is really ruthless.

Emperor Jianwen said with an indifferent face: "Really? But I have so many sons, it's nothing to miss one or two. ”

Empress Ning gritted her teeth and said, "I'll paint." ”

Emperor Jianwen said lightly outside the door: "Come in." ”

After the words fell, Gonggong Li walked in with the paper and ink that signed and drawn, accompanied by three eunuchs holding a piece of white silk, a glass of wine, and a pair of scissors.

Empress Ning didn't have any struggle, she didn't even look at it, and drew it directly.

Emperor Jianwen was satisfied with the confession of Empress Ning and muttered, "Li'er, I can finally return your innocence." ”

When Queen Ning heard this, she only felt that her heart was like a knife.

After a while, Emperor Jianwen put away the confession and said indifferently: "Ning, I think of you and my husband and wife, I can give you the whole corpse, you can choose a way to die." ”

Saying that, the three eunuchs walked in front of Queen Ning, their eyes were full of pride, the emperor found them in this matter, which shows that the emperor still trusts them, and the day when they will soar is just around the corner.

Empress Ning naturally did not ignore the smugness and ridicule in their eyes, and there was a burst of anger in her heart but she was helpless, and finally picked up the glass of wine, despair flashed in her eyes, and said coldly: "Chu Yutian, don't forget what you promised to this palace." ”

Emperor Jianwen said lightly: "You can rest assured, Shuo'er and Xiao'er are my sons." ”

Empress Ning seemed to be relieved, drank the wine in one gulp, and the blood immediately left from the corner of her mouth, looked at Chu Yutian and said seriously: "Your Majesty, have you ever loved your concubines for a moment?" ”

Emperor Jianwen said coldly: "No." "Maybe there were, but she squandered it.

The light in Empress Ning's eyes completely dimmed, and in a moment, she lay on the ground and did not move.

Emperor Jianwen couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, as if he was relieved, and as if he could never be redeemed, he turned around numbly, and said lightly: "Queen Ning's framing of concubines and poisoning the prince is an unforgivable crime. ”

When the news of Empress Ning's death spread throughout the harem, and even the entire court, everyone was only surprised, and after thinking about it, they felt that it was excusable, no matter what happened in the harem, the army finally started.

Outside the capital, Chu Tianyi was dressed in a white robe, standing straight and majestic, and behind him was Jiang Lige, dressed in a red robe, dazzling and flamboyant.

Emperor Jianwen looked at Chu Tianyi and said with relief: "Yi'er has finally grown up." Then he instructed: "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, you pay more attention, your father is waiting for you to return victoriously." ”

Chu Tianyi said lightly: "The son is leaving, take care of your father." ”

Emperor Jianwen sighed and said: "You kid, you are always so stubborn, okay, go ahead, my father believes that you can." ”

Chu Tianyi stopped talking, turned around directly, and turned over on the horse.

Jiang Lige said respectfully: "The last general will retire." ”

Emperor Jianwen nodded.

At the sound of the trumpet, the army marched.

The army is like a long dragon, stretching endlessly, until he can't see the shadow of the army, Emperor Jianwen came back to his senses and was stunned.

Chu Tianjue's heart tightened, but his face was like a good son: "Father, the third emperor brother will be back soon, you don't have to worry." "It's going to come back soon, but it's just the corpse coming back.

Emperor Jianwen nodded and said with relief: "I am very happy that you have this heart." ”

As for where the four princes were, the four princes heard that Empress Ning had died violently, and asked Emperor Jianwen why he didn't let Empress Ning enter the imperial mausoleum, and Emperor Jianwen told Empress Ning what she had done, and the four princes rushed and yelled, saying that Emperor Jianwen had the intention to frame him, and Emperor Jianwen was furious and directly locked him up for three months.

With Chu Tianyi's departure, the pattern in the court began to change slowly, and many officials who wanted to be wall grass fell to the second prince Chu Tianjue, but Prime Minister Lin Wensheng did not indicate which side he supported, and returned directly to the house after the court, not to make friends with the prince, nor to interact with officials.

Besides, in the East Palace, ** heard that Lin Wensheng became the prime minister, the depression in his heart for many days was dissipated, and he couldn't help but guess that the emperor actually still valued him, regardless of rushing out of the East Palace and drenching in a heavy rain, he finally got his wish and got a severe cold, and his face was pale as if he was about to die soon.

**Concubine has already asked people to send a letter to Li Shangshu, but unfortunately a letter asking for help from the family has sunk into the sea, and there is no news, it is because ** has been sick for more than a month, **Concubine finally succeeded in passing the news to the Empress Dowager Li, Empress Dowager Li is the most distressed** This grandson, when she heard the news, she immediately met Emperor Jianwen, one cried, two troubles and three hanged, and Emperor Jianwen stepped into the East Palace.

Seeing that the door of the East Palace was full of birds, and the servants were lazy, Emperor Jianwen was depressed in his heart, and his face was pale, and he looked like he was not going to die soon, and his heart was distressed, after all, he was the child he loved, no matter how vicious and ridiculous his mother was, he was always his blood and bones, and said angrily: "What about the imperial doctor?" ”

**The group woke up and saluted one after another: "The son (daughter-in-law) sees the father." ”

Emperor Jianwen hurriedly walked over, pressed the ** to lie down, and said in a voice that was unconsciously gentle: "Good and dignified, why did you become like this?" ”

**Wiping his tears: "The Ning family made such a big mistake, but the sons did not think about their fathers for half a point, they only cared about embarrassment with their fathers, and the sons felt guilty every time they thought about it, how could this be good?" Father, don't ignore your sons. ”

Emperor Jianwen saw that he was sincerely repentant, and he had many calculations of his own in this matter, and he was also a little guilty, and said gently: "You grew up beside your father since you were a child, where is your father angry with you?" It's just that the Ning family is unbearable, and the Ning family is vicious, but you think that if you maintain it, how can your father not be chilled? Now that you know that you are wrong, your father will not blame you, you can recuperate well, and you can share your father's worries as soon as possible. ”

**Choked up: "Father, the son is ridiculously wrong......"

Emperor Jianwen sighed and said: "There is no need to mention the past, take care of your body, don't worry about your father." ”

** sad said: "The son has no virtue, and he also asked his father to abolish the position of the son **." ”

Emperor Jianwen was a little surprised, but he didn't expect ** to have such an understanding, and frowned: "Did you hear any rumors?" "After all, there are rumors outside that ** is about to be abolished, and he also has this plan.

** Sadly said: "Erchen stays in the house all day, where will you hear any rumors?" It's just ** thinking, the son of the minister is not big, he really doesn't have to occupy the ** position, he should abdicate early and make way for the virtuous. ”

Emperor Jianwen said distressedly: "I have taught carefully over the years, although you are mediocre, but you have a benevolent heart, it is more than enough to become a generation of Ming Jun, I know that I have been too serious these years, but I am also for your good, so you can't say it again in the future." ”

** Mocking in his heart, his father obviously has the intention of abolishing **, and he does not hesitate to stabilize himself like this for the sake of his face, so what do you expect? His face was still moved, and he choked up and said: "Thank you for your father's trust, my son will definitely work harder in the future to be worthy of my father." ”

Emperor Jianwen concealed the strangeness in his heart, smiled softly and said: "You have this heart, I am very satisfied, I will go to the court in a few days, you have to take care of your body." ”

** Moved: "The depression in Erchen's heart has dissipated, and no illness is a problem." ”

Emperor Jianwen smiled: "You, you are still the same as when you were a child, you like to keep everything in your heart." ”

Smiled a little embarrassedly.

Emperor Jianwen looked at Zhang Qianqian next to him again, and said gently: "How many months?" ”

Zhang Qianqian said generously: "Back to the emperor, it's been six months." ”

Emperor Jianwen said happily: "It seems that I am about to hold my grandson, so very good, very good." Looking at the ** concubine majestically said: "** concubine, you have to take good care of the side concubine." ”

**The concubine complained bitterly in her heart, and the emperor was probably angry that she was looking for the Empress Dowager Li without authorization, and said with a dignified face: "Father, rest assured, the concubine will definitely take care of her." ”

Emperor Jianwen was pleased: "I really didn't look at the wrong person, I am generous." ”

**The concubine was not arrogant or impatient: "Thank you for your praise." But I was puzzled in my heart, did the emperor care?

Emperor Jianwen looked at ** again, and said lovingly: "You take good care of your body, and I will come to see you in a few days." With that, he got up and prepared to leave.

Everyone saluted.

After Emperor Jianwen left, **Concubine stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, looked at ** and said gently: "Your Highness needs some water?" ”
