And Imperial Physician Xue's words confirmed his conjecture, "It was His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince who gave the old minister a pack of medicine, and asked the old minister to put it in the health decoction that the emperor takes every day, this medicine is not highly poisonous, but after accumulation, it can gradually hollow out his body and make his whole body weak......

Dongfang Yi suddenly coughed violently, his eyes widened, he stared at Dongfang Rui unwillingly, blood flowed out of his mouth, more and more, and finally he stopped, and a generation of emperors left like this, his eyes were staring, and there was unwillingness and despair in his eyes.

Dongfang Shuo glanced at it with a sneer and turned to leave, "Lanyue, lock up Dongfang Rui, as for Dongfang Yi's body, dispose of it!" ”

Even without them, Dongfang Yi wouldn't have lived long, but Dongfang Shuo wouldn't let him leave so easily, letting him know that he had been poisoned by his own son before he died, which was already the smallest punishment for him.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the fire in the distance, his vision began to blur, more than twenty years ago, it seemed that it was also such a night, he was sent away in such a firelight, and his mother finally died in the fire......

It's been more than 20 years, he has endured humiliation for more than 20 years, and finally came back, father, mother, those who hurt you, I will not let go of any of them.

This night, the lights in the palace have never been extinguished, the emperor's death knell has been slightly bright, and the original highest voice of the heir to the throne, the seventh prince Dongfang Rui, was thrown into the prison, accused of poisoning the emperor, Imperial Physician Xue as a witness, how the seventh prince ordered him to poison the emperor clearly.

At this time, everyone was most surprised that Dongfang Shuo appeared in the court, and an elderly minister was shocked when he saw his appearance, and immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.

Dongfang Shuo nodded to Zhang Zhengbai on the side, he immediately stepped forward and took out a "holy decree" from his arms: "The first emperor left an edict before leaving: I am close to the mandate of heaven, and I am very pleased to find the former crown prince Dongfang Shuo, and I am very pleased to leave this edict to return the country to Zhao and admire it." ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and the old ministers took the lead in kneeling on the ground and shouted at Dongfang Shuo: "Long live my emperor, long live!"

Everyone was stunned, and then immediately knelt down, and shouted Long live, even if they had doubts in their hearts, no one dared to ask questions, didn't the former crown prince say that he had died in the fire with the former queen?

The first emperor was obviously plotting to usurp the throne, but under the banner of being ordered in danger, he even told the world that the first emperor died on the battlefield, and the queen was deeply in love, and he was martyred with the five-year-old prince.

Who doesn't know the truth? But who would dare to object? Just like now, Dongfang Shuo has returned to the throne, even if there are many doubts, who dares to raise objections?

The "remains" of the former emperor were sent to the imperial tomb after seven days, and all the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were sent to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb and never leave.

Three days later, the new emperor ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Changyun.

Dongfang Shuo is not a great evil person, except for the palace maids in the palace who were all sent to the imperial tomb, none of the ministers in the court moved, and after a few days of trembling, they found that the new emperor did not seem to have the intention of attacking the old ministers, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Xiaoran was under house arrest in this isolated mountain, and she didn't know anything about the changes in the outside world, although she had a guess in her heart, she didn't expect that at this time, the Great Shang Kingdom had changed hands, and now it was the first year of Changyun.

After being locked up in the mountains for a month, on this day, someone finally came, it was Lanyue, and now he is already the imperial guard, and he was ordered by the new emperor to pick up Meng Xiaoran back to the palace, and by the way, he also took Wei Xue away, and all the people in the mountain courtyard were withdrawn.

Meng Xiaoran saw such a battle, in fact, she already had a guess in her heart, Wei Xue was also a little excited in her heart, she had always thought that Dongfang Shuo was the son of the prince's family, she had never seen a person in the royal family, and she had some faint expectations in her heart.

In the end, the carriage stopped outside the south gate of the palace, this is not the main gate, it will not attract too much attention, Meng Xiaoran got out of the carriage, saw the palace gate in front of him, and instantly understood that Dongfang Shuo had achieved a big thing, in fact, he was happy for him, but at the same time, he was worried about himself.

And Wei Xue was already stupid when she saw this majestic palace gate, she didn't expect that person to be from the palace, who was that? The Seven Princes?

Her brain was in a mess, she was surprised and delighted, and she trembled with excitement, and Chunyue stepped forward to hold her arm and whispered in her ear, "Be calm, don't let people see it." Wei Xue was stunned when she heard this, tried her best to pretend to be calm, followed Meng Xiao, and entered the palace together.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo was discussing with the minister in the imperial study, Ye Chunqiu was appointed as the general of the hussars, and Dongfang Shuo also gave him back the general's mansion of the year.

Meng Xiaoran was taken to Zhengyang Palace, which is now Dongfang Shuo's bedroom, it stands to reason that she can't enter and leave the emperor's bedroom casually, but the emperor has ordered so, and Lanyue can't say much, now that the monarch and the minister are different, he can no longer be as casual as before.

"Miss Meng, the emperor asked you to wait here, and he will come back to see you after he finishes his deliberations." After Lan Yue finished speaking, she left, leaving the palace maids of Zhengyang Palace to stay here and serve.

Meng Xiaoran wanted to shout to Lan Yue, but in the end she held back, she looked around, the magnificent palace, it turned out that this was the legendary palace, but she didn't expect that she would be able to enter the palace one day.

Wei Xue was taken to the Wenqing Palace, which has always been a palace used to receive outsiders from the palace, which is relatively remote and secluded, but for Wei Xue, this is already a heavenly existence.

She sat at the table in a daze, and couldn't believe that she had entered the palace, so the prince was the emperor that day?

That's not right, the emperor is not seriously ill in bed, but let the Seven Princes govern, is that the Seven Princes, they have been in the mountains for so many days, and the Seven Princes have already ascended the throne?

She looked around, the two palace maids stood by the door, bowed their heads and didn't speak, she coughed lightly, and said to one of them: "This sister, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne?"

The palace maid glanced up at her and nodded, "The new emperor ascended the throne ten days ago, and now the country is prosperous." ”

"Is the new emperor the former Seventh Prince?"

The palace maid was horrified when she heard this, "The girl said carefully, the seventh prince has been sent to the prison for poisoning the former emperor with the intention of rebelling, the new emperor is the prince who was lost in the Holy Ancestor Emperor, and the girl will still be cautious in the palace in the future, don't mention the seventh prince." ”

Wei Xue's face turned pale with fright, and she nodded immediately, and she didn't dare to speak anymore, nor did she dare to ask who the Holy Ancestor Emperor was, and what was the situation with the lost prince.

Dongfang Shuo hurried back to Zhengyang Palace after finishing his discussion with everyone, Meng Xiaoran heard the palace maids in the house kneeling down and saluting, "See the emperor." ”

She looked up and saw Dongfang Shuo walking in with a smile, he was different from the past at this time, without the warmth of "Lu Ziqing", and without the murderous aura of the blood feud at the beginning, now he is surrounded by a noble aura, wearing a black dragon pattern robe, wearing a crown on his head, and his innate nobility is undoubtedly revealed.

"Yes." Dongfang Shuo's voice pulled Meng Xiaoran back from her trance, and she immediately saluted him, "I've seen the emperor." ”

Dongfang Shuo immediately stepped forward to support her, stopped her from squatting, and waved her hand to the palace maid who was kneeling, "You all stand down." ”

"Yes." The palace ladies answered softly, and the fish rushed out, and there were only two people left in the hall.

Meng Xiaoran gently broke away from his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted." She is a blessing from the bottom of her heart, Dongfang Shuo has carried too much, and now she has finally regained the country that belongs to her, which is naturally worth congratulating.

Dongfang Shuo looked at her with a smile, "Thank you, Ran'er, you can be happy for me to show that you still have me in your heart...... I am very happy. ”

Meng Xiaoran glanced at him, "Your Majesty, I have already said what I should say before, and it is over between us, I don't understand why you are still doing this?" ”

What she asked was why Dongfang Shuo teamed up with Wei Xue to design herself, brought her back, and put her under house arrest in the mountains for nearly a month, Dongfang Shuo put away the smile on his face, and he looked at Meng Xiaoran with a frown.

"Ran'er, do you really want to leave me?"

"Now that you are the king of a country, the world is in your hands, you have a lot to do, and I am just a passerby in your life, we are destined to be impossible, you let me go."

Dongfang Shuo was a little injured, he looked at Meng Xiaoran like that, and after a long time, he suddenly chuckled, "I understand, you don't love me anymore, right?" That's why you're so determined, even if I've become an emperor, I can't keep your heart, right? ”

"Dongfang Shuo, what do you want me to say to you to understand? The problem between us is not love or not love at all, our feelings have long been exhausted in your deception and use again and again, if you still want to say that you love me deeply, then I can only say that I can't afford your love, I have already said, we are good to get together and disperse, you also promised to let me go that day, why did you go back on your word? At this time, Meng Xiaoran did have no love in her heart, looking at Dongfang Shuo, she only had helplessness and trouble, and even some fear.

Dongfang Shuo smiled, his smile was full of bitterness and unwillingness, "Ran'er, when Shen Qian came to save you, I knew that there was no relationship between you and me, and even from the way you looked at me, I could feel it, you don't love me anymore, I know I should let go, but since you left, I have not been at peace every day, I regret it, I regret that I let you go on impulse, then I realized that I can't let go of you, I can't live without you, I want to share this country with you the most." ”

Meng Xiaoran looked at his sworn appearance, and suddenly wanted to believe him for a moment, but thinking of the words he heard at the beginning, his heart gradually cooled again, "You said you wanted to share it with me, but do you know what I want?" I also asked you when I left that day, and to my disappointment, you still don't know what I think in my heart, and now that you have the world, do you think you can give me whatever I want? ”

Dongfang Shuo nodded, "You tell me, I will definitely give it to you." ”

Meng Xiaoran couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "Okay, I'll tell you today, all I want is a couple for a lifetime, can you give it to me?" ”
