Coral held the ground with both hands, and before Yunhua and Tong Ning'er could react, she suddenly jumped up and threw herself in the direction of Su Mengtang. Everything happened too fast, Yunhua wanted to pull her backhand, but it was too late, so he only grabbed the corner of her skirt and ripped off a dirty cloth. Seeing the coral running towards Su Mengtang, Tong Ning'er didn't have time to think about it, so she turned around and threw the dagger in her hand at the coral.

"No!" Yunhua jumped to his feet and knocked the dagger down from the air. At this time, Su Mengtang's expression did not move, Ziruo behind her had already moved to the front in a few steps, and with a neat palm, she overturned the coral and fell to the ground in front of the guest.

Coral had just rushed with all her strength, but she was suddenly pushed halfway, and she fell so hard that she couldn't get up for a while, so she let Ziruo twist her arm and restrain her. "Girl, look at you like this, you must be a person who can uphold justice, please listen to my defense." Coral burst into tears and begged. Tong Ning'er ran forward to check whether there was a hidden weapon hidden in Sango's hand - it was empty, and she was relieved, and she couldn't help but be afraid of her recklessness just now.

Su Mengtang looked at her really pitiful: rushing towards herself just now didn't seem like she wanted to hurt herself, but more like she wanted to avoid Yunhua and Tong Ning'er's pressing step by step, and came here to beg.

"Ziruo." Su Mengtang gestured, and Zi Ruo let go of the hand that was tightly holding Sango, but held Sango's wrist again, in case she played any more tricks.

Coral sat up, wiped the tears on his face with the sleeve of his other arm, which was still moving, and suddenly saw Yunhua coming from behind without saying a word, holding Tong Ning'er's dagger in his hand. She subconsciously shrank to the side, broke down and cried again, shouting: "Why do you have to kill me, even when you go to Dali Temple, you have to listen to someone to argue three times before you can decide the case!" ”

Yunhua didn't look at the coral, but walked straight to Tong Ning'er, handed her the handle of the dagger, and explained: Put it away. Ning'er stuck out her tongue and hurriedly pinned the dagger to her waist. Yunhua bypassed the coral and sat on his chair, and Fang opened his mouth and said to her: You colluded with the courtiers and murdered the former crown prince, this case is already clear, and there is no need to retry it.

Hearing this, Coral held back her tears and said to Su Mengtang: Girl, I know that you are coming to me for this matter, but I sit upright and walk straight, and I have never done anything before, and I have not done anything before, I have not done it either, please listen to my explanation. ”

Tong Ning'er almost laughed when she heard her righteous and awe-inspiring confession: these words made people who didn't know the details hear it, and they really thought that she was a decent person. Su Mengtang glanced at her, Tong Ning'er couldn't help laughing, and resumed her serious face.

Su Mengtang looked at Yunhua, Yunhua was also looking at her, and motioned to her wordlessly: You can ask. Su Mengtang said: Then you can tell me how innocent you are. Coral wanted to escape from death, and without waiting for Su Mengtang's words to fall, he told the past in detail.

It turned out that eleven years ago, when Ning Zong was in power, Coral was the singer of Wanfang Pavilion in Yongjia County. She was seventeen or eighteen years old at the time, her appearance was as weak and moving as a clear lotus after the rain, and she played the pipa well. One day, Shi Miyuan and his subordinate Xia Zhen came to Yongjia to do business, and went to Wanfang Pavilion to drink, and she was called to play the piano to help the fun. Shi Mi saw that she played the pipa well and looked beautiful, so he asked her about her life and life. She replied truthfully, saying that she had a hard life, had no father and no mother, and was sold here by her aunt. Shi Miyuan comforted her and said: Life encounters are unpredictable. After Shi Mi left, the old bustard of Wanfang Pavilion came to her, saying that Master Shi had redeemed her and that someone would come to pick her up and go to Lin'an in a few days. She was overjoyed in her heart, and asked the old bustard Shi Miyuan's origin, and learned that he was an important minister in the court.

At that time, Coral thought that he was going to be a singer in the mansion for Shi Miyuan, or he could become his concubine, no matter what, it would be hundreds of times better than the Qinlou Song House in this remote place.

But when she arrived at Shifu, she better understood what it meant to be "unpredictable", Shi Miyuan ransomed her body for her, wanting to dedicate her to Zhao Hong, the crown prince of the dynasty, and be the singer of the East Palace! The little sparrow from a small place actually had the opportunity to fly on the branch of the East Palace, and Coral was grateful to Shi Miyuan in his heart.

From the day she arrived at Shifu, Shi Miyuan arranged for her to live in a secluded courtyard called Zangchun Pavilion, and invited two grandmothers who had stayed in the palace to take care of her daily life, teach her the rules of the palace, and teach her how to serve men. After a few days, I invited a good pianist to help her improve her skills. Coral lives in Shifu and only knows that he is going to be sacrificed to the prince, but he has never met the prince.

After living like this for almost a year, without hearing a single movement, Coral had to wonder if he had not met Shi Miyuan's requirements and was not sent away. In the past year, Shi Miyuan often took Xia Zhen to see her, but only said something "don't be too tired, rest more", and left for an excuse, leaving her alone with Xia Zhen.

Xia Zhen is the most powerful general under Shi Miyuan except Qin Guoxi, and under the protection of Shi Miyuan over the years, he has been promoted all the way from Zhengliupin to the position of Zhongwu general, so he is obedient to Shi Miyuan and is very loyal. He looks strong and mighty, but he has an amorous heart, and over time, he has a love for coral. Coral was sold to Wanfang Pavilion since he was a child, and most of the people he has seen are wanderers and mediocre people, how can he have seen such a brave hero, and he also admires Xia Zhen in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of the spring of the second year, Shi Miyuan took Xia Zhen to see the coral again, and hurriedly explained a few words, and was called away by the little girl at home. At this moment, only Coral and Xia Zhen were left in the Tibetan Spring Pavilion, and the two of them were in love with each other, and they naturally came together, but they didn't want to be broken by Shi Miyuan, who turned back, and they were very angry.

The two of them hurriedly knelt in front of Shi Miyuan and confessed: Xia Zhen confessed his heart to the coral and begged Shi Miyuan to fulfill it; Coral felt that he had failed Shi Miyuan's painstaking cultivation, and cried bitterly. Shi Miyuan helped the two of them up and comforted: "How can I not see the affection of the two of you, but now that the emperor is in poor health and the situation is turbulent, we have to put our own people in the East Palace, and if the prince ascends the throne one day, he can also seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and know the new emperor's movements." The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, I did this because I wanted to seek a peace for our old ministers. You are all good boys, and you are faithful to me, and when this move is over, I will make decisions for you. Xia Zhen said anxiously: If Coral enters the East Palace, how can he come out to meet me again in this life?" Shi Miyuan said: "This matter has its own fate, I will definitely plan for the two of you, and I will not let you suffer this grievance in vain." Xia Zhen and Coral felt even more ashamed when they saw that Shi Miyuan was so considerate, and they said this heartfelt word to the two of them, and immediately expressed their willingness to repay their kindness.

A few days later, under Xia Zhen's personal escort, Coral entered the East Palace, the mansion of Prince Zhao Hong. In order to repay Shi Miyuan and obtain useful information as soon as possible, she did her best with a face like a clear water hibiscus, won Zhao Hong's pity, and became the hot favorite concubine of the prince's mansion.

After dinner one day, Zhao Hong was idle in the warm pavilion, and let people unfold the map to see. Coral was in Zhao Hong's arms, and he heard Zhao Hong say that one day, he planned to unite with Jin to defeat Mongolia. She pretended to ask casually: Then the rivers and mountains of the Southern Song Dynasty are too big, who will guard them? Zhao Hong said with a smile: "When do you care about the government and politics, if you can really get your wish, you should select well-educated people and generals from the lower-class scholars." This sentence was originally a harem joke, but Coral firmly remembered it and ordered someone to send a message to Shi Miyuan.

Later, according to Xia Zhen, Shi Miyuan received this secret report, was shocked and angry, fell ill directly, and did not go to the court for three days. After recovering from his illness, Shi Miyuan sent Qin Guoxi and Xia Zhen to find Zhao and Ju from the people, which is now Li Zong. At that time, Zhao Heju was just a down-and-out son of the Zong family, and the court was in decline, although he had the false name of the descendants of Taizu, but he had no way to serve the country.

Later, Coral didn't know what happened, she only remembered that one day, Shi Miyuan sent a book to her, telling her to get drunk on August 17, and Coral faintly felt that something big was going to happen. On this day, Prince Zhao Hong came back from the palace, went to the coral room, hid his face and cried: My father's face is dull today, I'm afraid it's not a good omen, I want to stay in the palace to serve the sick, but I was persuaded by the queen mother to come back. Coral comforted Zhao Hong a few words, and brought wine to pour his sorrow and drink with him, Zhao Hong soon got drunk and fell asleep.

When Coral woke up the next day, he learned that something big happened in the palace last night, Ning Zongxu, Shi Miyuan united with the powerful people in the court, coerced Empress Yang, took out the edict that had already been prepared, and supported Zhao and Ju to ascend to the throne.

Overnight, things changed.

It was already afternoon when Zhao Hong woke up, he was shocked when he heard this, and sent someone to find General Han Qingzhi and entered the palace.

Later, Coral also listened to what Xia Zhen said: Waiting for Zhao Hong on the top of the main hall were Shi Miyuan's group of cronies, several elders of the Central Court and Zhao Heju of Song Lizong who were in dragon robes. Zhao and Ju were not mentally prepared, so they became the emperor overnight, and everything was based on Shi Miyuan, at this time he saw Zhao Hong coming violently, and he was so frightened that he was silent. Shi Miyuan seemed to have expected that Zhao Hong would come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and he immediately asked the puppet-like Song Lizong to send someone to read out the so-called edict of the emperor to Zhao Hong: grant Zhao Hong as the three divisions of the opening of the palace, seal the king, and order him to live in Huzhou.

Zhao Hong's strength was weak, he looked at the faces of this group of courtiers who had already colluded, and his seven-foot body was so angry that he spat blood and couldn't speak.

Shi Miyuan said: King Ji, you don't kneel when you see the new emperor, but it's a big crime of disrespect, and you can be removed from the temple with this article to suppress the law of the country. Xia Zhen stepped forward when he heard the sound, suppressed Zhao Hong and kowtowed to Song Lizong three times! Zhao Hong couldn't speak, struggled hard, and even Li Zong couldn't bear to look at him, and covered his face with his sleeves. Is it tolerable or intolerable? Han Qingzhi is the most heartfelt cadre under Zhao Hong, he saw that Zhao Hong was bullied like this, he immediately shouted, raised his sword and stepped forward to fight with Xia Zhen, but was called out by Shi Miyuan to ambush the sword and axeman, and slashed and killed in the court.

Then Zhao Hong was carried out of the palace gate and sent to the palace to recuperate. Li Zong felt really guilty in his heart, and couldn't bear to see the nobles of the clan being tortured so far, so he begged Shi Miyuan, wanting Zhao Hong to recover from his illness and go to Huzhou to take up his post. Shi Miyuan was full of promises, and then sent someone to deliver a letter to Sango, asking her to stand on the last shift and be ready to come back at any time.

Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the Art of War Hall was already solemn to the extreme, Su Mengtang and Tong Ning'er couldn't help wiping their tears, and Yunhua also felt that everything was burning. Although they have long known the outline of this political drama of "Establishing the King" back then, they still feel shocked, angry and sad when they hear the bloody truth come out of the mouths of the parties concerned. Coral was a little tired, she cleared her throat, and said: Later, I was taken out of the Prince's Mansion by Shi Miyuan, and Prince Zhao Hong's family went to Huzhou, and I don't know what happened after that.

Zhang Yunhua raised his eyes to look at her and said, "No, you still have two things to explain.
