Three days later, the imperial honor guard slowly walked out of the gate of Taihe Palace and appeared in front of the world's vision.

As the crown prince of the dynasty, Zhao Ling was controversial because of his decision to send Emperor Showa to the Luohe Palace to recuperate, both in the court and in private.

As Li Ze, the prince of Zhenguo, said, although Emperor Showa is in good health, he is still alive in the world after all, and at this time, he was sent to the palace to recuperate as a son of heaven, which is equivalent to being emptied of the power in his hands by the prince, but he is just holding an identity that seems to be majestic but has no real power.

Many royalists in the court immediately began to play one after another, condemning the prince's move as very inappropriate, and even vaguely implicated the usurpation of power.

It's just that after Zhao Ling has gone through so many things, especially after seeing Emperor Showa's methods, he no longer has doubts and hesitation, because he knows very well that if he softens his heart at this time, then what awaits the Jingbei Hou Mansion and himself next.

Emperor Showa's obsession with Chu Yi is too deep, since he wants to protect Chu Xingyue, he must protect the people she cares about together, so that the girl can stay by his side with peace of mind.

Moreover, with the decay of the body, Emperor Showa's temperament has also become cloudy, everything he does now is with his own temperament, just like a person who has been suppressed for many years, suddenly bursting out of himself, he doesn't care about how serious the consequences of his decision will be, he is only trying to be happy for a while, he can't listen to anyone's persuasion, and only thinks that his decision and cognition are correct.

Such a Showa Emperor is too dangerous; Therefore, sending him to the palace to recuperate was the most correct decision.

Therefore, no matter how serious the war of words in the court was because of his decision, Zhao Ling blocked the mouth of Youyou with an extremely strong posture in the end; No matter how disappointed the royalists were in their rejection of his decision, he was like a pillar in the undercurrent, standing still on his own always standing and not making the slightest concession.

Today, watching the Son of Heaven's honor guard walk out of the palace in a majestic manner, Zhao Lingcai, who was standing high on the tower of the imperial city, slowly exhaled a sigh; Since he was a child, he has always been very clear about what he wants most, so when he faced Chu Xingyue's safety being threatened, he knew very well what he should do.

He wanted to be with that woman without conscience for the rest of his life, and he wanted her to trust him completely, to be with him forever, so he had to make an example for her, so that she could believe that he had the absolute ability to give her everything she wanted, to give her the most missing sense of security.

Zhao Heng ran up from the city tower panting all the way, and saw the third brother standing in the middle of the city tower in a dark purple brocade suit, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva with difficulty, he gasped and trotted to his third brother's side.

Hunched over, holding his knees, he raised his head to look at the angular side face of the third brother, and said, "Third brother, I am looking for you everywhere, how did you come to this place?" The father's honor guard has walked out of the palace gate, and when he was seeing his father away just now, the father kept looking back, looking for you, third brother, what happened between you and your father? Why did you decide to send your father to the palace? ”

Zhao Ling said with an unmoved expression: "Naturally, it was for the sake of my father's body that I decided to send him away." ”

"You can lie to others for this bullshit reason, but you can't fool me." Zhao Heng looked left and right, then leaned closer to his third brother, lowered his voice, and said, "Third brother, outsiders don't know, won't we know?" In terms of my father's physical condition, it is remarkable that he can last for a year or two, and I still remember clearly what the imperial doctor in the hospital said to us; Even if you don't want to be subservient to one person now, for the sake of fame and good face, do you still try to put yourself up for a year or two? Look at you, I just want to send my father away at this time, in the court, how much effort did we have to suppress the voices of those old stubborns, but does it mean that no one said anything? Not at all, the big guy just doesn't dare to say it on the bright side, and he can't tell you how to poke your backbone behind his back and scold you for being unfilial. ”

Zhao Heng rarely showed a bitter look, and said: "Third brother, you have always been the most reliable and safest among our brothers, why did you leave such a big handle for others to catch at this time?" Anyway, I don't believe the rhetoric you said to others, you tell me the truth, what happened between you and your father? There is also the guy Lao Qi, who is also half-dead during this time, and he also gave his father a twist, and the people who united with Qin Tianjian postponed his marriage, and the reason he found was even more ridiculous, what for the health of his father, red and white should not be disturbed. This reason for not being careful, you can laugh and be generous when you say it, I always feel that you have something to hide from me, and it is a big deal. ”

Listening to Zhao Heng babbling so much, Zhao Ling rarely turned his head to look at Zhao Heng who was standing beside him and persuaded him, his youngest brother was the most unobtrusive one since he was a child, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling almost all of them, but who gave him such a big courage to dare to act so recklessly? It's not that his father gave him the courage to give him favor that his other brothers didn't have.

Once, he was really confused by the appearance shown by this stinky boy, naively thinking that he was really a waste, but in the slow contact, he knew that the stinky boy was too good at hiding himself, and the reason why he disguised himself as the demon king of the world was completely a way for him to survive.

Looking at his clever appearance at the moment, the corners of Zhao Ling's mouth hooked a faint smile, and he reprimanded him as a brother: "Your physical fitness is really getting worse and worse, how far have you run to be able to breathe like this?" When you were young, you liked to cheat and play tricks the most, and now that you are an adult, you have a fief, and you have established a palace, you should also control yourself well; If you like to play flowers, you should also be a little more restrained, and be careful to overdraw your body early, and there will be a time when you will suffer in the future. ”

Zhao Heng was trying to ask the third brother what had happened recently that he didn't know, but he didn't expect the third brother to talk about him left and right, and he didn't answer him at all; The more the third brother was like this, the more suspicious he felt.

Zhao Heng continued to lean towards Zhao Ling's side, and looked at him with a mysterious look in his eyes: "Third brother, just tell me the truth, don't worry, this mouth of mine is still quite reliable at a critical moment, and I will definitely not talk nonsense." ”

Zhao Ling said: "Lao Jiu, didn't you still shout last time that you were tired of being in the capital and wanted to go back to the fiefdom?" When are you going back? ”

Get! This is a direct dislike of him as an eyesore, and you want to drive him away, right?

Zhao Heng looked at his well-guarded third brother stupidly, and did not accept his fate at all, and said: "Okay, third brother, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask anymore, it's just that you have no reason to stop me from investigating by myself; Anyway, I can see it, everyone of you is doing things from me now, it's better to rely on others than on yourself, I will check it myself, I don't believe it, I can't find out with my ability. ”

After speaking, Zhao Heng glared angrily at his third brother who was soft and hard like a stone and did not eat, then clapped his hands with a hum, and then ran towards the city tower without looking back.

Looking at Zhao Heng's humming back, Zhao Ling smiled helplessly.

It's not that he doesn't want to tell Zhao Heng the truth, it's just that the less people know about this matter, the better, and he doesn't want Zhao Heng to be tired because of these things; It's just that this stinky boy doesn't seem to understand his mind at all, and continues to rush forward regardless of it.

When Yunxiao was looking for Zhao Ling in the upper city tower, he happened to pass by Zhao Heng who was angry, Zhao Heng glanced at Yunxiao, and his anger did not come out in one place, the third brother had no way to take him, could it be that the third brother raised this subordinate by his side, he still had no way?

So, Zhao Heng didn't give up and shot towards Yunxiao, stretched out his hand to stop it, and blocked Yunxiao's way: "Are you going to find the third brother?" ”

Yunxiao knew very well what kind of temperament the ancestor in front of him was, so he didn't hide it, and replied after saluting in a proper manner: "My subordinates have important matters to report to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhao Heng was waiting for important things about the third brother.

He crossed his arms around his chest and looked up and down at the sky, revealing a sinister smile: "Oh? The third brother's important matter? Can the king listen to it? ”

Yunxiao is a person who has been raised by Zhao Ling's side since he was a child, in Zhao Xi's original words: The third brother is a person with an arrogant personality, and even the minions raised around him are some guys with eyes above the top.

Therefore, in the face of Zhao Heng's posture of wanting to inquire about the news, Yunxiao didn't even hesitate, and directly refused: "The prince has an order, and the things that his subordinates want to report must be reported to him directly, if others want to inquire about it, please ask that person to ask him directly, if his subordinates dare to reveal half a point, let his subordinates come to see him." ”

"I'll see you there! Yunxiao, you kid dare to look down on this king, don't you? "Zhao Heng is really going to be completely angry, the third brother is hiding from him, the seventh brother is hiding from him, and now even the slaves raised by the third brother dare to hide it from him.

Obviously he sensed that something big was happening, but he didn't know what was going on, what was this not torturing him?

Facing Zhao Heng, whose face was red with anger, Yunxiao bowed his head and saluted again: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Zhao Heng's fingers trembled and pointed angrily at Yunxiao, "Why don't you dare?" In Lao Tzu's opinion, you are even more daring than the third brother! ”

After speaking, Zhao Heng walked down the stairs a few steps, then turned back and glared at the clouds, and said: "The more you want to hide it from this king, the more this king has to investigate it, and this king will not believe in this evil." ”
