"King Ji, don't accept the order yet!"

Murong Jun saw that Murong Ning was still flustered, and hurriedly shouted at him.

"Father."

Murong Ning looked at his eldest brother with some embarrassment, and saw that Murong An's face had turned the color of pig liver, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, quickly accept the order."

The chief eunuch hurriedly walked down the steps and said respectfully to Murong Ning.

Seeing this scene, Murong Ning had no choice but to raise his hands to accept the holy decree, but his heart was like falling into an ice cave.

He knew how much his brother wanted to be the prince, but now that he was the prince, such a gap would surely drive him crazy.

Sure enough, as soon as he received the holy decree, he heard Murong An's sneer next to him, which sounded extremely harsh.

Murong Ning stood up stubbornly, and his brain kept buzzing after that, and he didn't hear what the people in the court said afterwards.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Murong Ning originally wanted to chase after Murong Jun, but was stopped by the chief eunuch.

"The prince knows the price of resisting the decree, not to mention that this is a joint decision between the emperor and the queen."

Hum......

Murong An on the side snorted coldly and walked away.

Murong Ning hurriedly chased out with the holy decree, but Murong An walked quickly, and when he caught up with Murong An, both of them were about to run to the palace gate.

"Big brother, I don't want to be a prince, let's go to the Qinzheng Palace to find my father now, and pass on the position of the prince to you."

Murong Ning grabbed Murong An's sleeve and said heavily.

"Don't be coy, even if I go with you now, I will be humiliated, why should I go? Go and congratulate you? Prince! ”

After speaking, he shook off Murong Ning's sleeves and hurriedly walked out of the palace.

Murong Ning stood alone at the gate of the palace, looking at Murong An's distant back, and panicked for no reason.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the will has reached your mansion, and someone will send the things in your mansion in the near future, you just need to stay in the palace and wait."

At this time, his personal attendant ran over and said with a look of ecstasy.

Now that they have ascended to heaven as one of them, he is naturally happy, and at the same time he knows why his master is so sad, so he avoids the important and takes it lightly, and after explaining the matter clearly, he helps his master to leave.

"Qiu Chang, why did my father and mother bypass my eldest brother and pass the throne to me?"

The East Palace had been cleaned up a long time ago, or Murong Hui had arranged it personally, and he could move in directly, so the chamberlain directly helped Murong Ning to the door of the East Palace.

"Your Highness knows it in your heart, but you don't want to admit it, although each is its own master, but the little one still thinks that you are more suitable to be the prince than King Jin."

The chamberlain hesitated, then helped Murong Ning into the East Palace, took out two auspicious clothes from the dark compartment, and handed them to Murong Ning.

The two auspicious robes are of the same fabric and style, but one is blue, and the other green is painted with a five-clawed golden dragon.

"What's going on?"

Murong Ning looked at these two auspicious clothes and asked suspiciously.

The little chamberlain told him what had happened, and Murong Ning's expression revealed a bit of shock, he had always felt that although Murong An regarded him as an opponent, he never thought that Murong An would think of him to death.

"Burn both of these clothes so that no one can see them."

After a moment of silence, Murong Ning said in a low voice.

"Only you don't know about this in the palace, why do you think the queen mother vomited blood yesterday?"

The little chamberlain hung his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and said.

Murong Ning looked surprised, he walked around the main hall, only to feel chills, he was not a fool, he naturally knew that Murong An wanted his life.

The emperor and queen did this just to save his life, he would not kill Murong An, so when he ascended the throne in the future, both of them could continue to live.

After thinking of this, even if he was not happy to be the prince, he could only continue to do it.

However, in two hours, the people in the palace moved everything in King Ji's mansion to the East Palace.

Shen Jing and Tang Molan naturally moved into the East Palace.

The two of them are both side concubines, so they naturally live in the side hall, and the two live in the opposite door, and the main hall is naturally empty.

Tang Molan didn't have any thoughts in her heart before, she wasn't sure that her husband would become the crown prince.

So even if she is a side concubine, she won't think too much, but now it's different.

If she loses this time, she will lose the last position, this is a major matter related to the entire family, and she can't be as calm as before.

Therefore, when she learned that the eldest sister was going to visit her in the palace, she immediately agreed.

"Father asked me to inform you, and the Tan family broke off contact, the king is not willing to just say that he is an idle prince, and he will definitely fight for the throne, but our family is tied to the prince."

Tang Moxue handed a jade plate to Tang Molan, lowered her voice and continued: "This brand is used to contact our informants in the palace, don't use these people easily if you don't have to." ”

After Tang Molan handed down the jade card, she hesitated for a moment, and said to the palace maid next to her, "You go out and watch." ”

She now lives across the door from Shen Jing, so she naturally speaks much more carefully than before, so she immediately let people go out to let the wind out.

After the palace maid went out, she lowered her voice and said, "Now that my husband has become the prince, I will ...... in the future If I don't fight, I'm afraid I can only be a concubine. ”

Tang Molan was a little unwilling, these thoughts had been lingering in her heart for a long time, and now she is not unhappy.

"The prince's position is unstable, if you can share her worries, you can also try to take the throne in the future, if you are bent on doing some crooked ways, you will only be disgusted by her."

Tang Moxue sighed, and knew that this sister looked at her fate, but in fact, the depression in her heart was not at all understandable to ordinary people.

"Now that the overall situation has been decided, does King Jin still want to usurp the throne?"

Tang Molan's face was shocked, and she felt that there were two emperors and queens, and Murong An didn't have the courage to do so.

"King Ji is not a person who is willing to be subordinate, not to mention that he has his uncle behind him, even if he doesn't want to fight, those people will not stop, so sooner or later they will have a fight."

Tang Moxue sighed, finally knowing her father's thoughts, and his father had made a plan since the morning.

If the king wins, they can continue to maintain their position in the court with the help of their uncle's family.

If King Ji wins, they will become real royal relatives, and it is indeed a profitable business without losing money, and I think my uncle will think the same way.

"I get it."

Tang Molan sighed, knowing that the family now hopes that Murong Ning can inherit the throne, and whether she can become the queen or not is a matter of later words.

After Tang Moxue left, Murong Ning asked people to repeat what the Tang family sisters said just now.

"Although the Tang family is a little more ambitious, they are still sober in the end, if they don't become demons in the future, they don't have to touch them."

After being silent for a moment, Murong Ning felt that the family was quite acquainted, and said to the attendant next to him: "Go to the Qinzheng Palace." ”

After listening to this, the chamberlain hurriedly responded, and then got up and went to prepare the sedan chair.

Since the canonization of the prince, the atmosphere in the palace has been different from before.

At this point, Murong Hui, who was in charge of the palace things, was the first to find out that after she disposed of a few palace people who liked to chew the root of the tongue, the others finally settled down.

It's just that she doesn't have the energy to deal with these things, the emperor and queen have always been resolute, and since they said that they were going to move to the palace, they immediately asked people to pack up their things.

picked a sunny day on September 15, and moved to the palace, and only Murong Ying was the master.

In the past, the huge palace was much deserted due to the departure of the emperor and queen.

Murong Ning also completely took over the government affairs of the DPRK and China, after all, he has studied government affairs for many years, and he has the help of auxiliary ministers, so he is quite stable.

Murong An also deposited, but he never went to court, and some ministers impeached him, and Murong Ning always suppressed such a setback.

Now he only wants Murong An to stay in peace, and he can naturally keep Murong An rich and safe for the rest of his life.

When Murong Hui saw this scene, she only felt that something was wrong, if Murong An made a fuss, she would be a little more stable in her heart.

Now that Murong An is so abnormal, she feels uneasy, and after hesitating for a while, she finally decided to talk to Murong Ning.

She deliberately intercepted her on the way to Murong Ning's next court, and beckoned to the Xie Yi Palace: "King Jin still has an official position in his hands, you need to be careful, since he has not done anything, he simply removed the official position." ”

"Withdrawing like this, it really doesn't give face to the eldest brother, I can't say when he will figure it out, and he wants to be this official again, so it doesn't hurt to keep it for him."

Murong Ning shook his head, he still wanted to give Murong An some dignity.

"Prince, King Jin is not a good-tempered person, you and the good student are wary of him, but I heard that he borrowed 200,000 taels of silver from the household yesterday, what do you say he wants to do with the silver?"

Murong Hui often sent silver to the household department, and she was familiar with the household officials, so she naturally knew something.

200,000 taels of silver can do too many things, such as raising food and grass, such as recruiting troops and horses.

Murong Ning is not a fool, he naturally knows it, but he can't bear to be ruthless to his brother.

"Sister Hui and the good student are preparing a dowry, and you will get married in the spring of next year."

He diverted the subject, got up and took his leave.

Murong Hui couldn't help but sigh, knowing that Murong Ning still couldn't bear it, she said that no matter how much she said, it would be useless.

After Murong Ning left the Xiyi Palace, his mind was in turmoil, and he hurriedly walked towards the East Palace, and just halfway through, he saw Murong An walking towards him.

"Prince, if you are not busy today, why don't you go to my house and have two drinks?"

Murong An blocked his way and said with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has a lot of work to approve today, and he is really busy."

The attendant on the side was shocked and hurriedly said.

"Since the prince is so busy, then I won't bother."

A trace of coldness flashed in Murong An's eyes, and he turned around to leave.

"Big brother, I've been really busy lately, why don't we go to your Zhaoyang Hall for dinner?"

Thinking of the matter of those two auspicious clothes, Murong Ning was not completely wary of Murong An, and he was really busy, so he said softly.

"In that case, then I'll wait for you in Zhaoyang Palace."

Murong An left without looking back this time, and looked at the direction of leaving, which was to Zhaoyang Palace.

Murong Ning breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his eldest brother was finally going to compromise.

There was a hint of vigilance flashing in the eyes of the little chamberlain, and he immediately glanced at the person next to him, who nodded hurriedly, quietly retreated, and ran towards the Xie Yi Palace.

After approving the folds in the evening, Murong Ning rushed to Zhaoyang Hall in a sedan chair, the candle flame in the main hall was very bright, and Murong An was alone, sitting at the table drinking tea.

Seeing Murong Ning come in, he personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Murong Ning, and said with a faint smile: "I remember that you didn't like to drink light tea when you were young, but liked to drink some fruit syrup." ”

Murong Ning breathed a sigh of relief, saw that his brother was in a stable mood, and hurriedly took the fruit tea and said with a smile: "Thank you, eldest brother, for remembering my preferences, how about tasting this wine." ”

Halfway through the two of them, Murong An suddenly said lightly: "It's true that I haven't done enough since I was a child, and I didn't let you much in the past, but this time, I can't let you, and I hope you don't blame me." ”

Murong Ning couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and suddenly looked to his side, and saw that his two attendants had been knocked unconscious.

He stood up and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Murong An pull out a dagger sword from under the table, and stabbed it towards his heart without hesitation.

Murong Ning panicked in his heart, and hurriedly dodged sideways, this time piercing his shoulder and picking off his cloak.

Murong Ning couldn't help but scream and shouted, "Someone! ”

"No one will come to your rescue tonight."

Murong An laughed wildly and stabbed at Murong Ning again: "Ning'er, only if you die, I will have a chance, and you will treat it as me!" ”

Murong Ning dodged quickly, a trace of despair swelled in his heart, he didn't expect Murong An to be so eager to take his life.

"Big brother, do you really care about brotherhood?"

Murong Ning has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his body is very flexible, even if he is injured, he can still easily avoid it, and asked angrily.

"I really want to estimate the brotherhood, but it also depends on what you rob, whoever grabs the throne with me will have to die."

admire

Rong An laughed, threw down the sword in his hand impatiently, and yelled at the people around him: "Why are you still stunned, quickly solve him!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, behind the pillar on the side, more than a dozen people dressed as eunuchs quickly rushed out and attacked Murong Ning.

Murong Ning quickly took a few steps back, and was forced into a corner, he covered the wound on his shoulder, barely resisted a few times, and there were several more wounds on his body.

Just when he thought that he was going to die here this time, he suddenly heard a fighting sound outside.

When the people in the room heard this sound, they couldn't help but be stunned, and Murong Ning took advantage of their stunned efforts to grit his teeth and slam open the window and jump out.

Seeing this, several killers followed and ran out, but as soon as they rushed out, they were surrounded.

Murong Ning fell to the ground and couldn't get up after crawling a few times.

After Murong Hui ran over to help him up, he hurriedly stuffed a ginseng pill into his mouth, and let the imperial doctor and the chamberlain who came later carry him away.

"King Jin has been arrested, what should I do?"

At this time, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army came over and asked Murong Hui.

"Lock him up in the Zongren Mansion first, let people take good care of him, and when the prince wakes up, he will hand him over to the prince to decide."

Murong Hui sighed, she knew that Murong An would not be reconciled, but she didn't expect him to use such an extreme way.

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army answered, and escorted people away, Murong Hui hurried to the East Palace to visit Murong Ning, despite being covered in blood.

Murong Ning was seriously injured, and he didn't know if he could survive it.

Fortunately, when she dared to go over, the imperial doctor had already helped Murong Ning treat the wounds, he had a total of seven knife wounds on his body, the most serious was the abdomen, if it wasn't for the best medicine for the imperial doctor, I am afraid that he would no longer be alive now.

"When will the prince wake up?"

Seeing that Murong Ning was no longer in trouble, Murong Hui asked the imperial doctor.

"It's going to take at least three days, and the injuries are too serious."

The imperial doctor wiped his cold sweat and said respectfully, they all knew that Murong Hui was the only one left in charge of the palace now.

"Qiu Chang, immediately send a message to the palace and truthfully inform the emperor and queen of this matter."

Murong Hui sighed, and knew that the future was not something she could handle, after all, the country could not be without a king for a day, and the top priority was to find someone to deal with the government.

After the news reached the palace, Murong Jun immediately issued an order to kill all those who assisted Murong An in assassinating the crown prince, and Murong An handed it over to Murong Ning for disposal.

He asked the government to move to the palace, and all affairs were temporarily handled by him.

Murong Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, at least the situation stabilized temporarily.

It's just that Murong Ning's situation is not good, he has been bedridden for three months, and he can barely walk around on the ground, even so, he still has no intention of dealing with the government.

It wasn't until the end of the New Year that Murong Ning finally recovered, but Murong Hui looked at it, and his eyebrows were no longer as warm as before, as if he had changed a person.

After recovering, Murong Ning went to the palace, and after two days of round-trip, when he came back again, he asked Murong An to send him back to the palace of King Jin.

In the future, all the expenses in the palace will still be according to the prince's configuration, but the king can not leave the palace for half a step.

Such a punishment was light enough for Murong An.

But the people who assisted him in killing the crown prince were not so lucky, and the first to bear the brunt was the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion, who was stripped of his title, including the newly born Princess Jin and exiled to the northwest.

Murong An's wings were completely cut off and he became a loner.

After Murong Hui learned of this, she couldn't help but sigh and said lightly: "When you see the prince again in the future, you must be respectful, and you must not be as sloppy as before." ”

Several people hurriedly responded, and now looking at what the prince did, who would dare to underestimate him.

"Others need to be respectful, Sister Hui is very unnecessary, it's good to be like now."

At this time, Murong Ning walked in, his expression was calm, and the bearing on his body was more and more similar to Murong Jun.

"I have something to tell you, this is the princess's seal and treasure book, you can let people take it, and by the way, remove me from the royal family."

Murong Hui hurriedly saluted him and said with a smile.

"Sister Hui, what do you mean?"

Murong Ning was a little surprised, and asked excitedly.

"There's no reason, I just don't want to be a princess anymore, I think it's not bad to be an ordinary person, not to mention that I don't want to hinder Zhao Yu's future."

According to the tradition of the Rong Kingdom, the horse is not to be reused.

Murong Ning was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "If Sister Hui decides, I will no longer force it, but the princess mansion will be given to you, you just treat it as if it is a private house I gave you." ”

Murong Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and after seeing Murong Ning leave, she set out to prepare her dowry.

On June 13 of the following year, there was a grand scene in Beijing, and one hundred and eight dowries were brought out of the palace and sent to the Zhao University Scholar's Mansion.

It is said that Princess Linghui was married in the past, and it was really ten miles of red makeup, and it was still praised after many years.

Murong Hui didn't know how much dowry Murong Ning had given her, so when others were envious of her, she was busy making some small snacks, and on the day of her wedding, she put them in a sedan chair, and looked at the bustling street scene on the street with great interest through the crack in the window while eating.

It wasn't until the sedan chair stopped that she hurriedly covered her hijab, got off the sedan chair led by someone, and walked into the Zhao University Scholar's Mansion from the main entrance.

It was all like a dream, and when she came to her senses, she saw Zhao Yu sitting next to her, staring at her with good eyes, and her face was red as if she had drunk a lot of wine.

Murong Hui stretched out her hand and pinched his face, asking, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It hurts, why did Hui'er pinch me?"

Zhao Yu obviously drank too much, leaning on the bed with a somewhat misty look in his eyes.

"I thought I was dreaming."

Murong Hui only felt that her eyes were a little hot and muttered.

"Then let's live in this dream and never wake up again."

Zhao Yu laughed loudly, pulled out the hairpin on Murong Hui's head casually, and watched the waterfall-like green silk blow down, his heart itched, and he said softly.
