When Murong Mian came out of the palace, he happened to see King Jin hurriedly dismounting, King Jin is a well-bred person, if there is no urgency, or deliberately fresh clothes and angry horses to show coquettishness, he is easy not to ride a horse, especially in this cold winter wax moon.

The moment he saw Murong Mian, he was obviously relieved, "I heard that the imperial brother was in a hurry to recruit you into the palace, so scared that I came here without changing my clothes." ”

"What's the panic?" Murong Mian glanced at him, "I'm afraid that the imperial brother will correct me on the spot?" He snorted, "You think too highly of the imperial brother, if he has that courage, I will probably be dead for a long time." ”

King Jin saw that he didn't care, and he didn't know what to say about him, so he sighed, "Let's go, go have a drink, and be shocked by the third brother." ”

Murong Mian smiled: "I also have this intention. ”

King Jin had nowhere else to drink, and went straight to the moonlight in the lotus pond. In the middle of the day, the girls have not yet gotten up, and at night the place that looks magnificent and red looks a little quiet in the daytime, but the king of Jin came to this quiet.

He likes to stay in the lotus hall, with one side of the corridor and three sides facing the water, plus Ning Jiu and Jia Tong standing outside, so he doesn't have to worry about someone eavesdropping on them.

There are thick curtains on all sides, there is a large brazier in the house, a few bottles of plum blossoms are blooming, the faint and dark fragrance floats in the air, the king of Jin and the king of Chu are sitting cross-legged on the side of the low table, and the green jade bone china bottle contains plum wine, which is slowly poured into the cup by the king of Jin.

"Third brother, taste this freshly brewed plum wine and see how it tastes?"

The king of Chu took a sip of the small cup, the wine was fragrant and crisp, the entrance was smooth, warm and moist like a gentleman, which was the style of the king of Jin.

He smiled and drank the wine in one gulp, "A little more spicy is better." ”

King Jin shook his head, "The third brother is a prince, can you also learn some elegance, acting too recklessly will not please women." ”

Murong Mian lowered his eyes, it is not easy to please a woman, please this, offend that, a dilemma......

When King Jin saw that he was silent, he thought he was thinking about King Yu, so he said, "In the opinion of the third brother, who is the most suspicious?" ”

Murong Mian snorted, "Understand, don't you?" ”

"White Guifei?"

"Bai Ruyu also has a share, one is inside, one is outside, and the inside and outside should be combined to make a trap."

King Jin sighed, "It's a pity that there is no conclusive evidence, otherwise I would have gone to the imperial brother to visit their father and daughter." ”

"Do you think the royal brother doesn't know?" Murong Mian poured himself wine: "I only mentioned it slightly, and the imperial brother knew it, otherwise, with such a good opportunity, how could he let me go easily." ”

King Jin asked, "Is the case going to be closed?" ”

"Well, if you really want to investigate, it's not that there are no flaws, it's just that there are too many involved, and your face is not good-looking, not to mention anything else, just the matter of King Yu staying in Ruifu Palace can't get by."

"I really don't understand the royal brother, he was cuckolded, why do you have to swallow your anger?"

"Because he can't kill Bai Ruyu and Bai Guifei, he still has to use them to contain me."

King Jin muttered, "It's also very sad that the emperor has done this. It's better to be an idle person, eat, drink, and have a good life. ”

Murong Mian was silent for a while, and said: "Although the imperial brother is sometimes extreme, he has the world in his heart, he wants to create a prosperous world and be a good emperor, but his ability is limited, he is struggling between ideals and reality, and under strong pressure, his concept of right and wrong will inevitably deviate, but I believe that he will wake up one day." What I'm really worried about is not the imperial brother, nor the Bai family's father and daughter, but ......"

"Who is it?"

"Huangfu Zhu'er."

"Huangfu Zhu'er?" King Jin was surprised: "What is the third brother worried about her?" ”

"She was just around the clock."

"But she's just a weak woman, what kind of storm can she set off?"

Murong Mian looked at the wine glass in his hand and suddenly smiled, "I don't know, I just have a bad intuition." ”

King Jin also smiled, "I think she caused the third brother's mansion to be unpeaceful, the younger brother is a person who has come over, and he knows the consequences of having more women in the mansion." If the third brother is annoyed, it is better to come here and have some fun. The girls here are not annoying, they just make people happy. ”

Murong Mian didn't answer, picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, "Come, drink." ”

——

At the same time, in the innermost private room of a restaurant in the east of the city, Bai Ruyu and Huang Zhongyuan were also drinking.

Huang Zhongyuan sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't pull King Chu off the horse this time." I didn't expect that Zhang Jisheng's old guy to defect on the spot, which ruined our good deeds. ”

Bai Ruyu looked indifferent, and slowly took the dish and sent it to his mouth, "The king of Chu is so easy to deal with, the old man has already taken him down." Zhang Jisheng is an upright person, principled in his work, and has a good reputation in the court, and the emperor still believes in him. ”

"The emperor means to close the case quickly and let King Yu rest in peace sooner, you see......"

"The emperor let the knot, then let's knot." Bai Ruyu said: "It's better to close the case earlier, after all, it's almost the New Year." Everyone saves trouble. ”

"But it was not easy for the mother to ......"

Bai Ruyu's face sank, and his gloomy gaze swept over him, "Lord Huang must remember that disaster comes from the mouth." ”

"Yes, yes, the lower officials are reckless for a while, please forgive me." Huang Zhongyuan pulled his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

The dark clouds only stopped for a moment, and Bai Ruyu had an indifferent look on his face, "Don't worry, although I didn't pull the king of Chu off the horse this time, the old man still has a secret weapon in his hand, as long as it is presented to the emperor, the emperor will be furious, and when the time comes, the king of Chu will have to shed his skin if he does not die." ”

"This is very good, this is very good," Huang Zhongyuan nodded and laughed, "I don't know what kind of secret weapon Xiang Ye said?" ”

Bai Ruyu glanced at him, "Since it's a secret, naturally you can't say it, and you'll know it then." ”

Huang Zhongyuan was a little sneering: "Can't the prime minister even believe the lower officials?" ”

"It's not that I can't believe you, the stakes are very high, it's better to be cautious," Bai Ruyin smiled, "This time, the old man must make the King of Chu unable to turn over!" ”

Huang Zhongyuan looked at that smiling face and couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

——

In the palace, the emperor retreated left and right, and slowly walked in the direction of Fengming Palace alone.

Seeing the palace gate from afar, he stood and looked at each other from afar, but he did not have the courage to take another step forward.

The truth of the matter has always been in his heart, and he knows it, but he lets it develop, because he needs an excuse, an excuse to deal with the King of Chu. His anger is not pretended, it comes from the bottom of his heart for so many years of unwilling accumulation, he is already an emperor, why is his heart still in turmoil? Why didn't he have the same determined eyes as King Chu?

It was a pain that was deeply rooted in his heart, untouchable, but always knew that it existed, and this pain had plagued him for many years, accumulated too much strength, and made him make a wrong decision that he regretted incomparably but could not be reversed.

He may lose the most important person in his life......
