When the crown prince was about to enter Xijing, he received the news of King Rui's disfigurement.

My heart is tight, and I am angry.

One was surprised, in the hinterland of Great Xia, first the crown princess, and this time it was the turn of the prince of the dynasty to be assassinated one after another, was it all the way or how many passers-by? What is the other party going to do? Is it really a remnant of the previous dynasty? If so, it is he Qi Zihao who should be assassinated!

Yiqi suddenly realized that when King Rui was assassinated, most of the dirty water was going to be poured on his head. King Rui's choice of concubine is imminent, the daughter of the gate valve has arrived in Xijing, if this matter is completed, King Rui is behind the family gate valve, in the eyes of the world, will become the strongest opponent of the prince. Now that Rui Jin is broken, most of the concubine selection has come to an end, and he Qi Zihao is the biggest beneficiary and the biggest suspect.

Originally, he had already set out to overthrow Li Mingde, but at this time, he had to rely on Li Mingde again and let him guide the Chinese courtiers to correct his name. It's really a twist and turn halfway.

Could it be that Li Mingde did it behind his back? However, why did Li Mingde assassinate the crown princess together? In the assassination of the crown princess, the people around her were really dead, and the crown princess was also in danger.

Qi Zihao was puzzled.

There were no clues in the news from He Cheng and the hidden guards, and Qi Zihao thought that it was unlikely that two groups of people would appear at once if they could raise the dead and do it neatly and leave no traces.

Therefore, the assassins of the crown princess and King Rui may be the same people.

But faintly, the prince was a little happy.

If King Rui is really disfigured, then Yan Chen, perhaps......

At this time, Deng Yanming came to report that the people sent by Taizu to greet him had arrived ten miles outside the city.

He had to put down the doubts in his heart for the time being, change his clothes and leave the tent, and go to Xijing.

The Queen Mother and Queen Wang also received the news from the original king. Upon learning of King Rui's disfigurement, the Queen Mother was furious.

She wore a phoenix crown, put out a full set of honor guards, and came to the Zichen Palace.

When Taizu heard the news, he hurriedly brought Li Mingde, the first assistant of the cabinet, who was deliberating, to greet him, saluted, and asked in shock: "Why is the queen mother like this?" ”

The Queen Mother sneered on the phoenix: "If the mourning family doesn't come to see the emperor in formal clothes, I'm afraid that the emperor has long forgotten that the mourning family is still the queen mother, or your biological mother!" ”

She bit the word "biological mother" very hard.

Taizu said in horror: "The queen mother has killed her son!" "Personally stepped forward and helped the Queen Mother to get down.

Li Mingde's hair was white, and he fell to the ground without saying a word.

The Queen Mother didn't glance at Li Mingde out of the corner of her eyes, and walked past him with her head held high, and her long skirt swept over Li Mingde's prostrate face.

Taizu made people help Li Mingde down.

The Queen Mother sat on the top, but Taizu didn't dare to sit and stood in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother stared straight at Taizu, her eyes were sharp, and she could faintly see the momentum of the Tusi princess of the Southern Clan.

Taizu said respectfully: "If the queen mother has something, just call her son, why bother to come in person?" ”

The Queen Mother mocked: "Son? The mourning family has raised a good son! ”

Huang Gonggong, the great eunuch of Zichen Palace, took everyone out of the hall and personally guarded the outside of the hall, and no one was allowed to approach ten steps in front of the hall.

Taizu's face turned pale, and he fell to the ground and cried: "The queen mother is angry! If the son does something wrong, even if he is punished, the queen mother must not be angry. ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "The emperor got up to speak, the mourning family has never liked the style of kneeling in the Central Plains, let alone the emperor's courtesy!" ”

Taizu had no choice but to get up.

The Queen Mother continued: "Actually, the mourning family is really not rare in this Central Plains Palace. Mo is not for the emperor's face, the mourning family has already taken the queen back to the southern tribe. Now, the emperor is becoming more and more powerful, and even his own son has to attack. You can't tolerate Yixiang like this? ”

Wang Yixiang, Queen Wang's maiden name. The daughter of Qi Xuan's long-time friend Wang Tianhan.

Taizu also received the news of King Rui's assassination. The crown prince was not in Xijing, Taizu had to go to the court, and the assassination of King Rui had set off an uproar, and the courtiers were all shocked in the court, except for those who went to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, shouting that they should strictly investigate the origin of the assassin and not take it lightly.

The implication of the words is faintly pointed to the prince. Taizu remained silent, and left Li Mingde behind to talk about the matter in detail.

Actually, this really wasn't done by him, and it won't be done by the prince. Moreover, judging from the degree of shock of Li Mingde, it was not Li Mingde who did it.

When Taizu heard the Queen Mother say this, his pale face turned blue again. He said helplessly: "The queen mother misunderstood her son." Yixiang is the queen of his son, Rui'er is his son's biological son, how can his son do something that is inferior to a beast? ”

Hearing that he even said that he was not as good as beasts, the Empress Dowager Nan knew that this matter was not done by Taizu, and faintly regretted her impulsiveness.

Her face turned slightly pale, and she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this way, maybe it is really the mourning family who wronged the emperor." Emperor, the prince's backyard plans to collect all the courtiers, the dignified General Rui Wei of Great Xia, the younger brother of the prince, a prince has not accepted a concubine so far, so he can't marry a woman from an ordinary family, right? Speaking of which, doesn't it mean to say that the emperor is partial and the prince is immoral? ”

She paid attention to Taizu's expression, seemed to think so, and continued: "The mourning family believes that Rui'er has no heart, and the mourning family agrees that the queen will marry the daughter of the gate valve for him, which is also to win the hearts of the people in the world and keep the source for Daxia." ”

Taizu bowed deeply and thanked respectfully: "The queen mother is far-sighted and has worked hard for the building, and the son has thanked the queen mother!" Rui'er is also a prince, and whoever inherits the unification in the future, his son will be willing. It's just that Zihao is the eldest son, and he made great contributions back then, and his son can't be untrustworthy, so he was made the prince. The queen mother is too worried! ”

The Queen Mother didn't say anything, but asked, "According to the emperor, who sent the assassins?" ”

Taizu bowed his head and said carefully: "On the surface, the prince benefits the most. But the prince won't do this, firstly, he is kind-hearted and the most generous, and secondly, he is not so stupid for such an obvious thing. ”

The Queen Mother smiled inexplicably, but there was mockery in her eyes.

Taizu still lowered his head, as if thinking.

"In addition, if the gate valve does not want to marry, it is also possible to send an assassin to ruin Rui'er's face. In this way, the royal family did not insist on the marriage of the gate valve and Rui'er. ”

"What about the Li family?" The Queen Mother stared at Taizu.

Taizu sighed and said, "The Li family is also possible. In this way, they can ensure that the crown princess will be the mother of the world in the future, so that the Li family will still dominate the court. However, Li Shoufu would not do this, because," Taizu said with a slight mockery, "Li Shoufu is afraid that he will not deal with Rui'er now." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, too, the matter of the prince's choice of a side concubine is a major event that the Li family urgently needs to counteract at present.

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and looked at Taizu: "The emperor has finally freed his hands to deal with the Li family?" ”

Taizu pushed: "My son is not in good health, and the prince is almost asking about the major affairs of the court." As for the Li family, it depends on how the prince uses it. ”

The Queen Mother snorted, not wanting to play Tai Chi with Taizu, so she threw down a sentence stiffly: "The mourning family does not interfere in the court affairs of the emperor's two fathers and sons, but the assassination of Rui Kill cannot be good." The mourning family is waiting for news from the emperor! ”

He held his head high and walked out of the Zichen Palace.

Taizu respectfully sent it outside the hall before turning back to the hall. His face had turned completely cold.

This assassination is really inexplicable and foggy.

King Rui is here, Yan Chen is "healing" him.

After that night, Yan Chen was already in Shuangli's daughter's house, and he also went to shame.

There were a lot of bottles and cans on the table, pressing Rui Wang on the chair, and she wanted to "heal" a wound for him.

After returning to Beijing, the imperial doctor will definitely treat King Rui's injuries, if he has a "complete face", will he not be exposed.

King Rui let her wipe and paint on his face with a pair of small hands, and his nose was full of the fragrance of his daughter's home, and his heart was ape. couldn't help but reach out and wrap around Yan Chen's slender waist.

Yan Chen glanced at him and said, "Don't make trouble." I can't figure it out. ”

King Rui whispered in her ear, "Go back to Beijing and follow me into the palace, right?" ”

Yan Chen said impatiently: "What are you doing in the palace?" I've got to open a medical clinic. The pills I have been dispensed along the way are enough for me to sell for a while! ”

King Rui was displeased: "Hmph! That's all Qi Zihao's medicine! ”

"After entering Beijing, I will return the silver in full, how can it be his?"

"Haven't you paid it back yet?"

"Then, I'll catch up with the prince today, and I'll pay it back today?"

"You dare!"

Yan Chen seemed to be smiling, and looked at him with his eyes: "What? Who wouldn't dare, you say? ”

Rui Wang Qisui: "It's me who doesn't dare, I don't dare to let you go." ”

Yan Chen got it done, took a mirror and stuffed it into King Rui's hand, King Rui took a picture casually, his hand shook, and he held the mirror calmly.

In the mirror, a big opening on the left side of his face was turned out from the bottom of his face to the corner of his mouth, as if a large mouth of blood was lying on his face, so realistic that even King Rui suspected that Yan Chen had really slashed him in the face.

Yan Chen smiled and asked, "How is it?" Can you scare off thousands of troops, right? ”

King Rui couldn't cry or laugh: "Chen'er, how big is this?" Make this king like this? ”

Yan Chen was serious: "I'm in place this time!" lest the wound be small, and some people covet the beauty of King Rui. ”

King Rui put down the mirror, dragged Yan Chen into his arms, and asked jokingly: "In Chen'er's opinion, is this king's beauty worth Chen'er's coveting?" ”

Yan Chen struggled to push him away, and said with a smile: "The current Highness has no beauty to covet - unless he is blind. ”

"Blind?"

"Yes, the blind can't see, a touch, oh, the shoulders are wide and the waist is narrow, well, it's okay." As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, and his face instantly turned red. Hurriedly turned around to run.

King Rui's heart swayed, and she was allowed to escape. With a stretch of his long arm, he caught Yan Chen back, held it in his arms, and never let go.

Yan Chen was ashamed and annoyed, buried his face tightly in King Rui's arms, and vowed not to raise his head.

King Rui chuckled lowly, and intuitively felt that the little head in his arms was really cute. didn't force her, let her stay motionless in her arms.
