Before Lu Zhan got married, everything went smoothly in his seventeen years of life, and it can even be said that the stars held the moon.

But from the moment he made a mistake on the night of marriage, his life was in turmoil. Over the years, there have been ups and downs, and it has long been uncertain whether those people around me who used to be gentle are really gentle.

In addition to his father and mother, even the emperor who beat Xiao Du and loved his grandson, he couldn't help but retain a three-point attitude.

After being demoted, the mother concubine has been trying to save herself, a royal grandson who has been demoted to a concubine, and she cannot enter Beijing without a holy decree. In this year, the concubine's secret letter also told him not to think about going out of the city secretly and not to break the rules.

She is such a cautious person, but now she sent her henchmen out to pick him up, and also set a return date, if the imperial grandfather knew—no, no matter who knew, the mother's behavior was a blatant disobedience, and it was a huge risk!

When the time comes, it will be troublesome to the court, not to mention that she is just the princess when the crown prince was not established, even if she still has her father, who is a scholar, it is useless!

But he complied.

Because the concubine must understand the consequences, if she dares to do this, something more serious than resisting the decree must have happened, and such a thing, in addition to the emperor, what else can it be?

In the paddock, only his father and mother may believe him, but it is useless for them to believe it, and the emperor has to believe it!

His only chance to turn over is with the emperor, and before he avenges himself, the emperor must not have an accident!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up again.

"Drive!"

The sound of galloping horses resounded through the post road.

Even if I haven't ridden a fast horse for more than a year, I don't feel any rustiness. It's just because he's always ready to turn over and counterattack.

"Where's the front?" He turned his head and asked Zhou Yi, the guard sent by Princess Jin.

Zhou Yi caught up with him and wiped the rain on his face: "It's the boundary of Hanzhou, and there are mountains in front, and it's easy to slide in rainy days, so be more careful!" ”

Lu Zhan looked at it, nodded, and jumped into the mountain pass.

Five days are destined to be day and night, and under this torrential rain, the narrow pass is like the mouth of a giant beast, waiting to devour everything.

"Grab all your weapons!"

Although the world has already achieved prosperity in the decades since the emperor was in office, and he has not heard of the green forests and grass in the way for a long time, this atmosphere still reminds Lu Zhan that it is better to be careful.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, the sky is full of lightning.

But after this moment of bright light stimulation, the vision inevitably fell into unprecedented darkness.

"Qiang—"

In this short period of darkness, in the sound of rain like scattering beans and the aftermath of the thunder, a dragon's groan suddenly sounded in the air! Lu Zhan's gaze had just adjusted, and then the lightning rose again, and an imminent "lightning" also pointed at his chest accurately!

"Childe!"

Zhou Yi exclaimed, jumped up from the horse and killed him!

Lu Zhan acted first, took this move first, and then counterattacked with the assistance of Zhou Yi and stabbed at the other party with a sword!

The killer landed, but the sound of rain followed by a large rustling sound, the reflection of weapons in the dark, the sound of hurried footsteps, like another heavy rain, the situation has been extremely clear!

"Childe!" Zhou Yi's face turned pale, and he immediately let the rest of the people surround him into a circle.

This is definitely not a straw coward, and it will never be accidental!

Lu Zhan stared at the approaching enemy, and turned to Zhou Yi suddenly: "What happened in the capital!" ”

In such a wilderness, it is definitely premeditated to be able to make accurate shots. Someone was premeditating his murder!

He knew that Pifu was not guilty, and he was born with a special identity, with the current situation in the court, the only reason for ambushing him here is because of his identity!

It must be that the news that the princess is sending someone to pick him up in Beijing has leaked, but with the princess's cautious actions, how can the news be easily leaked?

Even if someone receives the news and wants to harm them, they only need to report it directly once and for all, why do they send someone to assassinate here?

"If you don't say it at this time, are you trying to force me to be suspicious of you?!" Lu Zhan drew his sword in a deep voice, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

At the moment of life and death, he can't trust anyone completely!

If it wasn't for something in the capital, then it could only be that he fell into a trap, right?

Zhou Yi is the princess's person, and the princess has indeed treated him as her own over the years, but there is one thing, she is not his biological mother!

Originally, he was extremely reluctant to suspect that mother-in-law who had devoted all his energy to cultivating and caring for him, but in the current situation, he couldn't help but think so!

She was the one who came to pick him up on her orders, and the one who led him into this mountain pass was also hers, and the one who was struggling at this juncture was also hers!

Lu Zhan's eyes were red, and without blinking, the rain poured directly into his eyes and flowed out of his eyes.

"Childe, don't be in a hurry to be sad!" Zhou Yi stomped his feet, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not the princess, it's the palace that has an accident!" Two months ago, the emperor went to the summer resort and came back, and suddenly an old injury attacked, triggering a heart attack.

"Last month, the princess entered the palace to ask for peace, and when she saw that the emperor was still wearing clothes, she thought it was good, so she didn't write to tell her son.

"Who knew that half a month ago, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill - now that the crown prince has not been established, the emperor's critical illness will not be spread around, and the princess is worried that it will be too late to ask for orders to rehabilitate the son, so she rushed to Tanzhou overnight to pick up the son, and instructed the little ones to act in concealment! The purpose is to let the prince arrive in Beijing before the emperor's big trip, and ask the emperor to pardon him!

"The reason why I didn't tell you is that the princess has other concerns—have you forgotten about the paddock?!"

Lu Zhan's sword hilt was clenched tightly, still staring at him in the rain.

Of course he hadn't forgotten what had happened in the paddock, and he knew it when he shot his arrow!

The emperor devoted himself to government affairs, and there were not many people in the harem, so he only gave birth to five princes in total, and the queen alone gave birth to three.

The eldest son of the emperor was established as the crown prince, but he fell ill before the wedding, and the second son was the king of Jin, Lu Zhan's father. The third son, King Ning, was involved in a case of collusion with foreign officials because of the crown prince's death and died in prison.

The crown prince and King Ning died one after another, and the emperor was hit, and there was no crown prince for many years. Only the only remaining son-in-law stayed in Beijing as a companion, and the two princes who came out were divided according to the law.

The emperor's illness was unexpected, and the first thing that affected the situation was of course the court, and the Jin Palace, as the most likely candidate to succeed the new emperor, would inevitably attract attention from all sides.

If the King of Jin can get the holy decree of the prince, then it is naturally a good thing for him Lu Zhan, the King of Jin succeeded to the throne and became the new emperor, not to mention the relationship between father and son, only to talk about interests, the top priority of the new emperor is also to stabilize the imperial power, it is the time to employ people, he naturally will not let his carefully cultivated son still be in the debasement.

But I'm afraid not!

In the past, the relationship between the royal palaces was also good, but when it came to taking his life, who knows if the goodwill of his imperial uncles was out of appearance?
