"The host is relieved, Xiao Lingyan also thought of this. Therefore, the clues he released will not be easily found by the emperor, and it will take at least three or four days to find out. By then the second coup had already taken place. ”

Zhao Ruxi wanted to ask again, but heard the sound of someone knocking on the window.

When she looked up, she saw Xiao Lingyan standing there.

She was startled, turned around and instructed Qingfeng, "I'm going to sleep, you all go out." You stand guard at the door so that people don't come and disturb me. ”

Qing Feng immediately knew that it was King Qi who came.

She sent everyone else back familiarly, and she and Lu Yun stayed under the corridor.

Zhao Ruxi let Xiao Lingyan in.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come? Zhao Ruxi frowned and said angrily.

The darkness before dawn was the most terrifying, and she repeatedly told Xiao Lingyan not to run around in the past two days, lest the third prince be assassinated.

"I suspect that the king of Ming intends to attack me, and is ready to do a trick and deceive the disease. I'm afraid that you will be worried when the news comes out, so I will tell you. Xiao Lingyan said.

Zhao Ruxi's heart tightened and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Originally, I found out that there were people ambushed by the three princes around me, but I didn't deal with it, but I just guarded against it and didn't let him get close. Now I'm going to transfer him to my side, so that he can get his hands on it, so that he can take the initiative. Otherwise, a thousand days of thieves may fall into someone else's way. ”

Zhao Ruxi was shocked and asked, "When did you find out?" "Why didn't she find out?

Since Xiao Lingyan decided to take the heir, she often asked the system to check the people around him, and found nothing unusual.

Could it be that there is a bug in the system?

"When you told me I was cannon fodder, I went back and checked, and I found out. But keep him all the time, and now it's time to come in handy. ”

Zhao Ruxi breathed a sigh of relief.

At that time, she had saved up points for a long time to check her life experience. The two were not a couple at the time, and Xiao Lingyan didn't think about participating in the succession. She naturally couldn't take care of Xiao Lingyan.

"That's fine." She agrees with Xiao Lingyan's approach.

Now the crown prince is imprisoned, the fourth prince is dead, and the second prince is deposed. Among the adult princes, there are still three princes and Xiao Lingyan. Since the third prince played such a cruel game of chess, he naturally would not let Xiao Lingyan go.

That being the case, it is better to change from passive to proactive.

Knowing that Xiao Lingyan must have a careful plan, in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, Zhao Ruxi did not ask him what he was going to do.

She asked instead, "How is the palace now?" ”

"Because King Ming and the crown prince have always been at odds with each other, the emperor has suspected King Ming. He didn't let people interfere, and he arranged people everywhere to find out the king thoroughly, and also to prevent King Ming from making the next move. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ruxi also understood why in the original work, even if the second and fifth princes died early and killed the crown prince and the fourth prince, the third prince still let the prince escape from the prison palace and kill the emperor, instead of ascending to the throne of the prince and waiting for the emperor to descend on him.

Because the emperor was suspicious of him. Even if he does it secretly, no matter how much the emperor favors the concubine and him, the emperor will not pass the throne to him after suspecting him of mutilating his siblings.

In addition to these adult princes, the emperor also has a young sixth prince. The emperor is only in his forties, and he can still have children, not because of the third prince. The three princes have no second way to go except to kill the emperor and seize the throne.

But in this life, this is a dead end.

Because Xiao Lingyan couldn't let him kill the emperor again.

"How is King An?" She asked again.

"Fortunately, there is no fear for my life. However, the finger was cut off directly, and there was no way to connect it again. Xiao Lingyan said.

In modern times, if a broken finger is broken, as long as it is taken to the hospital in time, it can still be connected. But don't think about it in ancient times.

Speaking of this, Xiao Lingyan's face was not very good: "Although this result is what we want, but it really happened, I still feel uncomfortable." ”

He sighed, smiled wryly and shook his head: "We always say that the emperor is too merciful and ruthless to his sons, so today's situation has been caused." Now it's my turn, and I feel like I'm pretty much the same. Maybe it's a bit hypocritical to say this, but when I first arrived in this time and space, my second brother was really very kind and loving to me, and even more so in the memory of the original owner. Looking at his lifeless face today, not only did I not have the joy of the victor in my heart, but I also felt very uncomfortable. ”

"I miss our time." His face was full of melancholy.

"Who isn't?" Zhao Ruxi snuggled into his arms.

The two hugged each other and did not speak for a long time.

Now is a special period, Xiao Lingyan should not stay here longer. After saying that, he was going to leave.

Before leaving, he said, "I won't be here for a while." Don't go out, stay at home. I have people around Bofu to guard it closely, don't worry about safety. ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded: "Okay." ”

She also advised: "You must be good, and always put your own safety first." If there is anything, I will send someone to tell me immediately. ”

"I'll do it, don't worry." Xiao Lingyan said.

He has been preparing for so long, and he is naturally ninety percent sure that he has calculated by heart or not.

After Xiao Lingyan left, Zhao Ruxi kept hanging his heart, worried that Xiao Lingheng was not drugged, but asked someone to assassinate Xiao Lingyan halfway.

Although Xiao Lingyan came to her, he must have brought enough guards to protect him. But what if?

It wasn't until the system told her that Xiao Lingyan arrived at the Qi Palace's mansion safely that she was relieved.

Then the capital was calm, as silent as death.

The emperor did not go to court for two days, and the courtiers were silent one by one, lest they be angered by the emperor.

Usually the children of the freshly dressed and angry horses are locked up at home by their families, and they dare not let them out to cause trouble.

Except for the people who didn't know anything about these things, they still lived as usual, and the nobles and officials were as quiet as chickens. Kang Shilin was called into the palace by Xiao Qi every day to drink.

Zhao Ruxi knew the news from the system, and he was both worried and helpless.

When such a thing happened, Xiao Qi felt the most uncomfortable. At this time, only Kang Shilin could accompany him to drink, and listen to him confide in his boredom, Zhao Ruxi couldn't stop the master from going, and he couldn't stop it. She can only carry one heart.

What worries her is Xiao Lingyan is also.

However, until the sixth day of the new year, Xiao Lingyan was still fine, and nothing happened.

A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day. No matter how depressed Xiao Qi was, he couldn't ignore state affairs for a long time, so the morning court on the sixth day of the new year was held as scheduled.

After the early dynasty, Xiao Qi summoned the cabinet ministers to deal with the few major matters accumulated in the past few days, and then let them go home, and he stayed in the main hall to correct the folds.

At dinner time, he was about to call the eunuch to invite Kang Shilin into the palace to accompany him to dinner, when he saw a man wearing the clothes of a royal guard break into the palace and slash at him with a sword.
