"Zhao Ling, come here!"

He only heard Xiaoyu's crisp laughter, but it was dark all around, and he couldn't see her figure, he only felt very close to Xiaoyu in a hazy way, and he could feel that she was around him, but he couldn't touch her anyway.

"Xiaoyu, where are you?" Zhao Ling shouted, "Don't hide, are you okay when you come out?" ”

"Xianggong, I'm here, you come here, I'm here!" Another crisp laugh came.

"Xiaoyu, don't play, are you okay when you come out?" Zhao Ling tried hard to open his eyes, but it was still dark in front of him, he couldn't see anything, and naturally he couldn't find Xiaoyu's figure, he was a little flustered and a little angry, "Xiaoyu, if you don't come out again, I'm going to be angry, I'm leaving!" ”

"You're leaving? Where are you going? Are you leaving me? Xiao Yu's voice seemed so helpless and sad.

Zhao Ling's heart softened, and he said softly: "I'm not leaving, I'll accompany you, can you come out?" You come out, I'll take you to eat something delicious, okay? Small fish? Small fish? ”

He called Jiang Xiaoyu's name, but in this darkness, there was no sound.

Without Xiaoyu's voice, Zhao Ling only felt that he was in chaos at the moment, and the surroundings were so dark, so cold, and so silent.

He was flustered, he was afraid, he was lonely, he was desperate, and he was desperate to find Jiang Xiaoyu's figure.

But no matter how he ran, he was still in this boundless darkness, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn't find Jiang Xiaoyu's figure.

He knelt helplessly on the ground, letting chaos and despair drown him, and in a daze, he saw a faint light coming, he opened his eyes slightly, a little dazzling, he stretched out his hand to block it.

"Ling'er! Ling'er, are you awake? ”

It was the voice of the Father.

Hurt...... My whole body hurts, every muscle hurts, every bone hurts, and when I breathe, it's like inhaling a handful of sand, a coarse pain.

Zhao Ling's eyelashes shook slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes slightly, the sunlight was a little dazzling, he closed his eyes to get used to it, and then slowly opened his eyes, and what came into his eyes was the worried face of the King of Chu.

"Father......" Zhao Ling shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Ling'er, you've finally woken up!" King Chu smiled with relief, "The doctor said that your injuries are too serious, if you can't wake up in the past two days, you may not be able to wake up!" ”

"Where's the little fish?" Zhao Ling was silent for a moment and asked.

She ...... Small Fish ...... She ......"

Looking at the look of King Chu who wanted to speak and stopped, Zhao Ling slowly recalled the figure of Xiaoyu falling off the cliff, and he asked expressionlessly, "She's dead, right?" ”

"Not necessarily!" The king of Chu said, "Changsun Chi and the people from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are looking for her body, but they haven't found it yet, and she may not be dead yet!" ”

"I watched the arrow shot by Eldest Sun Chi pierce her chest, and I watched her fall off the bottomless cliff, can she really survive?" Zhao Ling asked calmly, "Is it really possible?" ”

"Bai Siyuan can survive in that environment, she may be able to, in short, she can't make a conclusion until she sees her corpse, so Ling'er, you also have to live well!" The king of Chu persuaded.

Zhao Ling looked at the ceiling, was silent for a moment and said, "Father, don't worry, I won't look for a short-term meeting!" I will live! I want to avenge them! Father, go back to the capital, I want to avenge Xiaoyu with my own hands! ”

"This capital will definitely go back!" King Chu sighed and calmly analyzed the current situation with Zhao Ling, "Although my father came to pick you up at the behest of my mother, and the eldest grandson did not dare to be presumptuous, even if Your Majesty did not kill you, he would definitely let you stay under his nose!" Don't worry, after returning to Beijing, I will definitely save your life! ”

"My son is not filial, and he has never been filial to his father for half a day, but today he still wants his father to worry about me and work for me!" Zhao Ling closed his eyes and said, "In the past, I never understood why my father, as a child of the royal family, had a lot of talent, but he didn't serve in the court, he was only a rich idler...... Father, you have already seen through Your Majesty's heart, but unfortunately I am not as free and easy as my father, and I have finally come to this point! ”

"Regret it?"

"Xiao Yu also said that I will definitely regret it!" Zhao Ling was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know if I should regret it, because I have never been worthy of my conscience in what I do, I have no regrets and am loyal to Da Zhou, but I regret being loyal to Your Majesty, Father, I really regret it, he is not worthy!" ”

King Chu sighed, patted Zhao Ling's shoulder and said, "Your injuries are very serious, and during your recuperation, you have time to think about it!" If you don't talk anymore, your majesty will be suspicious, and we can't stay here longer, so we will continue to go back to Beijing tomorrow! ”

"How is the second prince?" Zhao Ling asked again.

"There is no news from the capital yet!" King Chu said, "No news is good news, the second child should be fine now!" ”

There were three ministers in a row who pleaded with Zhao Yan and asked Emperor Zhou to scold him fiercely, but what made him feel most angry was that the border pass also sent a few letters of plea.

He looked at this unsealing chapter and said with a sneer: "Joke! My Great Zhou is like a cloud, is it possible that you won't even fight without the second prince? ”

After solving the problem of Changsun Hu, Emperor Zhou had already messed up the original army formation, just to prevent people like Changsun Hu from having too much influence on the army, but he didn't expect that there would be people who thought of Zhao Yan!

However, the old fox of Prime Minister Bai was calm, even though the second child almost became his son-in-law, but until now he has not opened his mouth to say a word for the second child.

Even though Emperor Zhou was furious at the second prince's behavior of challenging his authority, he still did not make up his mind to kill him, although he still had two heirs, but after all, he was young, and it took a lot of time and energy to re-cultivate, and there may not be Zhao Yan to convince the public, although Zhao Yan's talent has not yet reached the point of being amazing, but it is more than enough to be a king of success, and there are too many things to face in choosing an heir again, and he killed three sons in a row, how should he be evaluated in the history books?

It's just that now that the father-son knot has been formed, if he is allowed to continue to be the prince, there will really be no resentment in his heart? If one day the power is in power, will there really be no revenge? If he is allowed to be an ordinary person, he has influence in the army, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no rebellion......

Emperor Zhou was thinking about what to do with this son, and he had never really made any decisions, and when he really made up his mind, something happened in Subei. There was a general with his subordinates who prepared to enter the capital to rescue Zhao Yan, thousands of people, but they were wiped out in half a day's effort, but this planted a thorn in Emperor Zhou's heart. This rebellious general is Zhao Yan's former subordinate, and there is no guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen in the future.

Emperor Zhou, who was suspicious and had gone deep into his bones, made a decision, if this son stayed, he would become a troublesome in the future, he was afraid that the Queen Mother would be forced to die, so late at night that day, when most people were still asleep, after the Queen Mother of Fengxi Palace slept peacefully after taking medicine, his cup of poisoned wine was given to Zhao Yan.

Inside the prison.

"The slave is here to send the second prince on the road!" The eunuch bent down with the tray of poisoned wine in his hand and said.

"I see!" Zhao Yan opened his eyes and said calmly, as if he had expected everything, he got up without hurry, walked in front of the eunuch, picked up the wine glass, and said calmly, "Thank you for your grace!" ”

"What else does Your Highness have to say?" The eunuch asked.

"Go back and tell my father that I am worthy of heaven and earth, can he still sleep peacefully at night?" Zhao Yan said lightly.

If there are still regrets, I don't know if Zhao Ling and Xiaoyu are safe now, I don't know if my mother is affected by herself, I don't know what Jingyun's situation is now, and I don't know if my child is a boy or a girl.

I'm going to go first, please take care!

Zhao Yan calmly drank the poisonous wine, looked at the eunuch who passed the decree and said, "You go!" ”

"The minions are gone!" The eunuch withdrew from the cell, glanced at Zhao Yan's back with admiration, and instructed the jailer, "After His Highness is poisoned, change into this set of clothes, so that His Highness has a decent appearance!" ”

"Yes!"

On the outskirts of the capital, in a mountain villa, Yang Xing hid Princess Jingyun here.

It's just that today, he had to pass on two bad news to her at the same time, not that he didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but he just felt that the princess had the right to know the truth.

"What's wrong? Didn't you go out to find out? Why is your face so heavy? What the hell is going on? Hurry up! Jing Yun saw that Yang Xing's face was a little wrong, and hurriedly urged.

"There are two news, princess, you have to be mentally prepared!" Yang Xing was silent for a moment and said, "The first news is that the eldest grandson Chi led people to ambush the prince and the princess, the princess fell off the cliff, the prince was rescued by the prince, and he is now on his way back to Beijing!" ”

"What did you say?" Jing Yun's face changed, "Xiaoyu? What's wrong with her? ”

"There's a second news!" Yang Xing glanced at Jing Yun with pity, and then said, "Last night, the second prince was given to death by His Majesty in the Heavenly Prison!" ”

"What!" Like a thunderbolt from the sky, Princess Jingyun could barely stand, she couldn't believe what she heard, "Impossible, this can't be, it must be wrong, it must be wrong there!" Yang Xing, you must be mistaken, if you inquire again, how could Xianggong die? That's impossible! ”
