As a king, it is all lonely.

Duanmu Qinghui is benevolent in government, respects his parents, and treats his brothers well. He is good at everything, but he is not suitable to be an emperor.

Because he has a kind heart, he acts like a spring breeze and drizzle, and he will not play tricks.

He has stood at the top of the mountain since he was born and has everything that others could only dream of. He saw everything as a mountain flower, and he had never experienced the taste of despair.

But there are too many unsatisfactory people and things in this world, and too many resentments are secretly bred. These hatreds that cannot be easily dissolved can only be vented by others.

All living beings are bitter, how can you be sweet. Duanmu Qinghe saw with his own eyes that the second brother who was like the sun once fell off the altar and was scolded by everyone.

He once went to visit Duanmu Qinghui secretly.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time had been deposed, he had a wife who would never leave him and accompany him. Even though the two were trapped in a small corner of the world, they never gave up on themselves.

They even took matters into their own hands and opened up a vegetable field.

The second brother told him that everything in the world begins with the heart and ends with the heart. If the heart is sunny, there is no point in sadness.

Duanmu Qinghui is a completely opposite person to his brother from his mother. Duanmu Qingjia is silent, and buried under the silence is hot magma.

He and his brother have always been unpopular. Because among the princes and princesses, only their pupils are amber, which is due to the fact that their mother, Ayu, is a woman of different races.

Emperor Yao personally conquered and successively conquered the Western Regions, Loulan and other countries along the way, and Ah Wu was presented as a tribute.

The lord of the Western Regions hopes to use her to exempt some taxes and servitude. But no matter how beautiful Ah Wu was born, Duanmu Zetang already had Zhao Rongruo.

Beixiang, and even the world know that Emperor Yao favored Empress Zhao. Most of the children in the palace were brought up from the clan, and Duanmu Zetang's real flesh and blood only had Duanmu Qingyin and Duanmu Qinghui.

Zhao Rongruo took pity on Ah Yu, perhaps it was the princess in front of her who made her think of herself. The Beixiang Zhao family, known as the canary family, has bewitched the lord with beauties for generations.

The daughter of the Zhao family is the most valuable to the family. The head of the family will sacrifice them to the powerful and seek wealth and glory.

But the daughter of the Zhao family looked at herself and felt that she was the least valuable. They are given away as gifts for profit, can they still be called human beings?

Zhao Rongruo also tried to fight, but she failed. Luckily, or maybe it's fate.

Because of Empress Zhao's kindness, she rescued Emperor Yao, who had lost his memory from a battle on the side of the road, and the two became a good story.

When Zhao Rongruo saw Ah Wu, she thought of the fate that she had been unable to make the decision, and felt pity. She even recognized Ah Yu as her sister.

Empress Zhao promised that there was no need for flattery, and His Majesty would reduce the levy taxes in the Western Regions. If Ah Wu has someone she likes, she can also be the master and secretly fulfill them.

Externally, he told the lord of the Western Regions that the princess was sick and died.

But no one expected that that night, after Ah Wu used a trick to break Zhao, he drunk Emperor Yao with wine. Therefore, they are not blessed from birth.

The palace people felt that Ayann would take revenge, and they didn't know what to do. But at that time, Ah Wu was already crazy, and he lived in seclusion in the dormitory all day long, and he didn't step out of the door.

The object of their anger has naturally become them. From the beginning of Duanmu Qinghe's memory, the clearest thing to remember is.

Every time the palace people saw him and his brother, they would roll their eyes and scold them with disdain, little mongrels and white-eyed wolves...... They will also be deducted from their diet.

Duanmu Qingjia would stare at those people coldly, and the young man's eyes could make people feel cold all over his body, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake that nourished his son.

Perhaps he was frightened, and the next day there was no one in the palace who chewed the root of his tongue the day before.

There are fewer gossips, and the roots of the ears are indeed pure. But there are fewer and fewer people around to serve him, and the meals delivered every day are all leftovers.

The two brothers are usually hungry and get used to it, and they don't think there's anything about it.

But there was a time when Duanmu Qinghe was growing his body. He was so hungry that he endured and endured, and couldn't help it. The young man saw that his brother was asleep, so he secretly got up in the middle of the night and went to the imperial dining room to get food.

It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, he met Duanmu Qinghui. Duanmu Qinghui summoned the subordinates who took care of and served them, personally reprimanded them, and sent some others to come.

Now, no one dares to gossip about them anymore. Therefore, he has always respected his second brother very much.

At the same time, his brother Duanmu Qingjia, although he is a complete opposite person to Duanmu Qinghui. But he is also using his own way to protect himself as a younger brother, maybe his way is a little extreme.

However, his is to protect the people around him.

One thing Duanmu Qinghe understands very well is that the original brother is different from the current majesty.

No matter what Duanmu Qingjia did at that time, it was to protect his younger brother and mother.

But now, he no longer understands what Emperor Yuan De is thinking. As for what he did, he couldn't catch a trace.

At the beginning, some people couldn't get used to Duanmu Qingjia's young age, and he was so cruel and vicious.

scolded him behind his back like a snake and scorpion, and also blamed him for some trumped-up charges, which made his reputation more and more disliked.

But at least Duanmu Qinghe knew that his brother was not what was rumored, and he was not so unbearable. Just because, he wants to protect the people he cares about.

But then, he gradually changed, and went farther and farther. Step by step, Duanmu Qingjia finally became the rumored.

Duanmu Qing and young people have a hard time, and experience is scarce. It was difficult for him to find any clues from these things, and to associate them with his brother.

For example, originally, Empress Zhao and Emperor Yao should have three children.

When Empress Zhao was pregnant for the second time, it was just in time for Duanmu Qinghui to be found to be evidence of treason with the enemy, that is, the case of the abolished prince. Empress Zhao was frightened, so she had a fetal gas, and she lost two lives.

This matter is really strange, Zhao Rongruo values this child, and he is usually very careful when he eats and rests.

In addition, the Imperial Physician has to come every day to ask for a return to the Ping An Pulse. The fetal medicine prescribed by the medical department, she drank all the bowls without falling.

Emperor Yao was afraid that she would be bored, so he often put aside the government to accompany her. Such a well-raised fetus, how can it not be said that it is gone, and it also hurts adults.

But the facts are in front of them, and the world can only sigh a few words, Xu is Empress Zhao's face is thin, and he is not blessed to accept Jun's grace.

Another example is the death of Empress Zhao, Emperor Yao was grief-stricken and ignored the government. The abolished prince was blocked from writing one after another, and the first person in the Wei family to stand up and support was his compatriot brother Duanmu Qingjia.

For another example, the night before the death of the emperor, he urgently summoned the deposed prince to the palace. The final outcome turned out to be that Duanmu Qinghui went crazy and killed many royal bloodlines.

The abolished prince was executed on the spot, and there was no evidence of his death. He didn't believe that the second brother would do such a thing.

But this matter was so clean that he couldn't find any clues.

After Duanmu Qingjia ascended the throne the next day, he did two things, one was to send Cui Deyin to fight in the battle of Jiangcheng, and the other was to issue an order to find the emperor's heir.

It is said that they only found the bones of the waste princess, but not their children. Duanmu Qingjia said that he would treat his nephew well, and also ordered Duanmu Qinghui and Lu Huanting to be buried together.

What happened after that was the death of the eldest princess of Suguang and the tragedy of the Xie family.

Duanmu Qinghe felt that this one thing happened one after another. It seems to be an accident, but there is a vague connection.

It's as if someone is lurking in the shadows, manipulating the development of everything. However, no matter how he investigated, it was only a kick in the door, and he couldn't do it.

He even went directly to his brother to confront him, but Duanmu Qingjia, who was already an emperor, was completely different from the gloomy little prince in the old days.

His mind grew deeper, more and more difficult to fathom.

"Will you betray me? We are brothers, the only people in the world who are connected to each other by blood. Qinghe, you shouldn't doubt me. ”

"Even if my brother has done something wrong, he doesn't have a little thought, and every means is used on you. I just want us to live a little better. ”

He just wanted to be able to live, to be like a human being.

Duanmu Qingjia stretched out his hand to him, and he smiled, and his gloomy face gave birth to a bewitching beauty.

"Qinghe, come to me. Whatever you want, what your brother has, give it to you. ”

He thought of Xie Yunrong, and involuntarily stepped away and walked towards the people in the high hall. From that time on, he became the king of Nan'an.

Lu Weizhen came to him with Shang Fangjian, and the white-clothed emperor said a lot to him.

"Your Royal Highness King Yi, do you remember the crown prince, and do you remember your mother, Lady Afu?"

"Your Highness, how long has it been since you saw her? She's not crazy, she's always known everything. ”

"Your Highness, don't you want to know the truth. Why did Your Majesty become like this, and who did those things. Or is it something you're afraid to face. ”

"Your Highness, I believe. Someday, you'll make the right choice. Lady Amak, she is still in a familiar place for you, waiting for you. ”

"This time I parted with you, and the meeting was indefinite. Your Highness, take care. ”

“……”

In the study room of Nan'an Wangfu, Duanmu Qinghe took out Shang Fang's sword.

No one knows, after years of tempering and baptism, an unsheathed sword. Will it be rusty or sharper.

The sword is not a sharp weapon, but a gentleman's weapon.

If one day he must draw his sword and face each other, then he draws his sword. It must not be for killing, but for guarding.

Duanmu Qinghe even, if it is only on his own. The guards of the Wei Mansion would use Wei Sique, Wei Qiguang, and even Emperor Yuan De to suppress him.

What's more, they must be held accountable afterwards, and finally when the time comes, it is time for him to enter the palace to see his mother and royal brother.

The guards of the Wei Mansion who were waiting in the backyard of the palace saw the king of Nan'an coming with his attendants. They saluted him one after another, and the chief of the guard was slightly apprehensive and stepped forward to explain the situation.

"Lord Wang, we are waiting for Wu Anjun to track down the assassin here. It's not here to make trouble, if there is any offense, please forgive the prince. ”

When Duanmu Qinghe appeared in front of the world, he was always indifferent and did not ask about the world, which is almost everyone's definition of him.

He was mild-tempered, and no one had ever seen him angry or angry at anyone. At this moment, he was also speaking to them in a soft and slow voice.

He held his sword in one hand and restrained it in front of him.

"See this sword?"

The chief guard raised his head, and in the sunlight, the sword body was finely chiseled, and the pattern was clear. One side is engraved with a soaring dragon, the other side is engraved with a winged phoenix, and it is decorated with the Big Dipper, which is intended to meet the mandate of heaven.

His eyes widened, this is- Shang Fangjian? How could it be in the hands of King Nan'an. Before he had time to think about it, the guards behind him had already knelt down.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

He asked again.

"Have you seen it clearly?"

"Go back to the prince, you can see it clearly."

Duanmu Qinghe shook his head, pulled out the scabbard, and the snow-white and bright sword light flashed in front of him. He pointed his sword in the direction of the door and asked.

"See clearly?"

At this time, the guards avoided one after another, and they all withdrew from the backyard. He waved off his personal attendant, collected his sword, and went to Duanmu Yuhua's room.

"Come out, the carriage is ready at the side door, he is waiting for you."

The cabinet door moved, and a pale young man stepped out of it. The jade breath made Yue's body unstable, but she still forced herself to give him a blow.

"Thank you for the rescue."

Looking at the back of the young man, Duanmu Qinghe's tone was not as strict as that of Lu Weizhen just now, just like the elders' instructions to the juniors.

"Some mistakes are the limit if you make them once, Lu Xingyun is no longer there, and no one will help you clean up the mess anymore."

Jade breath made the moon pause and smile happily.

"Lord Wang, you may not know. Everything is under the control of Mr. today, and as he expected, you have made a move. ”

It is true that they joined forces to get the paperwork, but the other purpose is to force King Nan'an to make a choice.

From the time Lu Xingyun came to him with Shang Fang's sword more than ten years ago, he had already calculated today's situation.
