The Nine Emperor Princes slowly woke up, he was about to get up, but found himself tied up on the bed by the five flowers, he struggled for a while, and the tingling pain on his forehead made him fall back onto the pillow, he touched the fabric that was obviously a grade up, and then slowly remembered what happened before he lost consciousness.

I don't know what happened to the girl named Wen Ying?

"That woman is a disaster when she lives!" A voice roared.

"The evidence is in our hands, what can she do as an orphan girl? Killing her now, apart from making Cang Xuelan stare at us even closer, what good is it? ”

"Since Master Hou is already planning to establish himself as the king, sooner or later he will face Cang Xuelan, but he just kills one more woman, what? You see that she is beautiful, and you are reluctant to start? ”

Just as the two parties were arguing, a familiar voice sighed and said, "Don't argue. Bo Yan, I didn't do it yesterday because Cang Xuelan was outside the door, I don't know how long Senior Sister Ye can resist, this is just to stun her, in order not to cause more trouble. If you want her to die, we'll find another chance to do it. ”

The Nine Emperors listened to the corner for a long time, and breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Miss Wen is fine.

His sigh made the three people outside stop their voices, and a sound of footsteps came, the curtain of the bedroom was lifted, and the man in the lead sneered: "It seems that His Highness has woken up." ”

"Lu Daxia, I've admired my name for a long time." The Nine Emperor Princes turned his head sideways, and Lu Boyan, who was hanging on his lips every day, had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but there was a depression between his eyebrows, and the whole person looked extremely gloomy.

He was followed by Chen Ling, and when he saw Governor Chen before, he was old and rickety, and his steps were faltering, but today, he raised his head and walked steadily, and all the previous behaviors were obviously pretended.

Luo Qiheng held the knife and leaned aside, with a coffin face that had not changed for thousands of years, and when he saw this person, the Nine Emperor Princes were angry.

Lu Boyan personally untied the Nine Emperor Princes and helped him up.

The Nine Emperor Princes shook off his hand and moved his limbs, and one accidentally touched the wound on his forehead, so painful that he hurriedly covered it. He sat down at the table and said angrily: "Heroes, you have to go against Cang Xuelan, you don't have anything to do with me, why can't you get along with me." ”

"In fact, it was because we had something to ask for, so we specially invited Your Highness."

"Something?" The Nine Emperors said with a smile: "I am a good person, I am self-aware, everyone in the Great Zhou knows that I am a straw bag, you look for me if you want money and beauty, I have it." You are all the pride of the sky, and you can't look down on such vulgar things as money, and you are not uncommon for beauties to pass by. This makes me wonder, what else can I give you? ”

Lu Boyan said: "No matter how bad you are, you are also the Nine Emperors of the Dynasty, the emperor's favorite son." ”

The Nine Emperors waved their hands, "Where is it, my father has sixteen princes, and if you want me to say that his favorite ones are fifteen and sixteen." Don't you know, those two boys are chicken thieves, they are twins, they are young, and when they see their father, they will be coquettish and flattering, and when their father sees them, he will smile and smile. As for me, he was angry when he saw it, wishing I wasn't his own son, this most favored person really can't be talked about. ”

"Your Royal Highness is too humble, every year and festival, your reward will always be the first among the princes and princesses. If you have something you like, even if it's the emperor's beloved, he will give it to you. is the favorite concubine in the harem, Concubine Ying, because of your words, she was demoted, and her grace is no longer there. It can be seen that in the emperor's mind, your status is transcendent. Lu Boyan's words changed, "Do you know why?" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes put on an appearance of humbly asking for advice, "Why? ”

"Naturally, it's because of Concubine Chen."

Hearing the name of the concubine, the inappropriateness on the face of the Nine Emperor Princes was restrained in two.

"Concubine Chen unfortunately passed away when she was in full bloom, leaving only one son for you, so the emperor loves the house and Wu, and is obedient to you, I am afraid you think so too."

The Nine Emperor Princes lowered their heads slightly, and the candle flame shone on his face, and the shadows were so dense that people couldn't see his expression clearly.

"What if I told you that the only reason he was so good to you was because of guilt?"

The Nine Emperor Princes smiled slightly, "For so many years, I have heard all the rumors, and some people say that my mother's sudden death was because of the queen's assassination, and even more, it was said that my father wanted to refine some elixir of immortality, and he wanted to use the flesh and blood of the person he loved the most as medicine...... Your story can't be more outrageous than theirs. ”

Lu Boyan took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over with both hands, "This is written by Marquis Zeng Wu himself, and he was also at the scene during the spring hunt that year." ”

The Nine Emperor Princes sneered, "He knows the so-called truth, and he has been silent for so many years, why did he suddenly remember to write to me today?" ”

"Master Hou said that he wrote it twenty years ago, and it was only today that he had the opportunity to hand it to you."

"I also recognize Marquis Zengwu, when his own brother was convicted, he still stood by and watched, watching his younger brother being beheaded by his house, his nephews and nieces dying, and the distribution of his hair, he never even opened his mouth to intercede in front of his father, I have no friendship with him, why should he tell me the truth?"

Lu Boyan was obviously unwilling to answer the Nine Emperor Princes head-on, and he never spoke, so Luo Qiheng opened his mouth: "It's not a secret, what Marquis Zeng Wu is planning still needs the support of His Royal Highness." ”

The Nine Emperors smiled and said, "I said, you were waiting for me here." Everyone, don't hide it, I have more than enough heart and not enough strength, I can't do this human being, although I live a nourishing life, but I don't have any real power, it's good not to drag Hou Ye back. What's more, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, rebellion is to be killed. ”

"His Royal Highness's words are wrong, the emperor is still there, so it is called rebellion. Now the emperor has not set up a crown prince, if he dies suddenly, then some of the princes will not be able to hold back, raise troops to fight for the throne, when you have the million army of Marquis Zengwu, you will be able to easily set things right, and then inherit the name of the canon. ”

"Sounds good, but once it fails, it will be a catastrophe, no matter how much my father loves me, he will not leave the life of a rebel, I am a good prince, even if I am not the emperor, I will be a lifetime of glory and wealth, why take this risk?"

Lu Boyan held the envelope in front of the Nine Emperor Princes and said, "This letter will give you the answer." ”

The Nine Emperors reluctantly glanced at the envelope, and then, his impatient expression froze, and the handwriting on the envelope was familiar with it, it was his mother's handwriting.

His mother actually left a suicide note for him.

The Nine Emperor Prince took the envelope, his hand trembled slightly unconsciously, and he stroked the word Junmo on the envelope.

His mother, Concubine Chen, is beautiful and talented, and her good handwriting is praised by everyone. When he was young, he was held in the arms of his mother, holding the pen with his little hands, and learning words stroke by stroke. After so many years, he can't remember the voice and smile of his mother clearly, but he has recorded this handwriting in his blood and bones.

The Nine Emperor Princes put the envelope in their hands, and his fingertips stopped at the sealing place, just when Lu Boyan and the others thought that he was going to tear open the seal, the Nine Emperor Princes suddenly turned around and put the envelope on the candle flame, and half of the letter was burned in an instant.

He let go of his hand and watched as the flame swayed to the ground, burning to ashes.

At this time, even Luo Qiheng couldn't help but be surprised, "You really didn't read a word?" This is the truth about your mother's death! ”

"The truth?" The Nine Emperor Princes chewed these two words carefully, and he sneered: "It's a cliché. ”

Luo Qiheng frowned, and held the hilt of the knife with his right hand. When he was in the capital, the Nine Emperor Princes were well-known for being gentlemen, and he had little intersection with Luo Qiheng, and when he heard news from him, it was just some ugly thing like fighting for wind and jealousy in Fireworks Willow Lane, picking quarrels and provoking troubles in the public. So he has never looked down on this pampered prince.

But now, the sensation emanating from this Nine Emperor Prince's body made him feel strangely dangerous.

It's like a wolf who has been kept in captivity for a long time, everyone thinks he has become a dog, despises him and belittles him, and this wolf has always been unmoved, even wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue like a real dog.

Then one day, the wolf flashed his claws, bared his teeth, and his eyes were green and fierce.

Only then did the others discover that the dog had always been a wolf, and it turned out that its wildness had never been tamed, but was only carefully hidden.

"What is the truth? The truth is the biggest lie, and many times it doesn't matter what the truth is, what matters is what you want to achieve with the so-called truth. The truth about Marquis Zeng Wu is to make me willing to be his puppet and help him kill the king and usurp the throne; The truth of the queen is that she wants me to be a waste straw bag for the rest of my life, and not to block the road of his own son; The truth about my father...... Hehe, don't mention it. And my mother, she only wants me to live a safe life, I am her son, naturally I have to listen to her, I understand her expectations of me, so what difference does it make if I read this letter or not? ”

Lu Boyan lost control and said: "Won't you be unwilling at all?" ”

"Unwilling?" The Nine Emperor Princes looked at him with a sneer, "What can you do if you are unwilling?" Is it the same as you? Kill those who shouldn't be killed, help those who shouldn't be helped, and drag their friends, brothers, and teachers into the water. ”

Lu Boyan seemed to have been stepped on by the tail, and said without choosing words: "There are so many excuses, to put it bluntly, it's just because you are a bad seed, you don't dare to avenge your mother, so you don't even look at the truth and don't think about it, Concubine Chen was a strange woman back then, how could she give birth to a son like you!?" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes turned a deaf ear to Lu Boyan's provocation, he shook his head and muttered to himself: "I said, even if you want to disperse Cang Xuelan's forces, you won't chase me like this, it turns out that Zeng Wuhou actually had such an idea." I don't want to be dragged into the water by that idiot, and in that case, you can't keep any of you, so let's kill them all. ”

This passage seemed to be an understatement, but the murderous aura suddenly spread out, making the three of them tingle and their hairs upside down, and they clenched their weapons tightly and cheered up their spirits.

It is said that the royal people are not simple, who knows what life-saving things are hidden in this Nine Emperor Princes.

Suddenly, the murderous aura that seemed to be grabbing their necks suddenly disappeared, and the Nine Emperor Princes reverted to the appearance of the noble and delicate straw bales they had before, and he showed a harmless smile, "Of course, it is not my turn to make a move today." ”

Lu Boyan couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean!" ”

"Father said that Cang Xuelan is an evil person, I have been here for the past two days, and I feel more and more that what my father said is really right, this person looks decent, but in fact he has a bad stomach, every time you think you have deceived him, but the next moment, you find that in fact, you have been jumping in the palm of his hand."

The Nine Emperor Princes said as he sat back on the bed, "I couldn't figure it out before, why did Cang Xuelan let me, Miss Wen and Chen Ling live in a small dilapidated house, and put a lot of effort into arranging people around, he is a general, he shouldn't fail to understand the truth that no matter what the strategy, as long as the more steps, the easier it is to make mistakes, now it seems that he is specially arranged for you." ”

The Nine Emperor Prince touched the quilt and felt that it was thick enough, so he draped it on his body and wrapped himself, "He knows that we will definitely not be able to hide from you about changing our hiding place, and he also knows that you are hiding quite deeply in Changzhou City, and looking for you is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." So he changed his way, tried his best to find a densely populated residential area, first let his people infiltrate it, and then brought Chen Ling and us with him, and also lived in it. In this way, in order to get in touch with Chen Ling, you will definitely set up a base nearby. As you come and go, your stronghold will be exposed under the eyes of his surroundings, and then he will be able to use this stronghold to find your final stronghold, which is here. I guess that as far as we are talking, he and the group of cangmarching troops under him should have arrived. ”

Speaking of this, the Nine Emperor Princes couldn't help but smile and said, "You know, I usually don't bother to say so much, and it's really not easy to delay time." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the doors, windows, and roofs were broken, and in an instant the tiles cracked and dust flew up.

The Nine Emperor Princes buried themselves in the futon, sighed and said, "Singing is really not done by people!" ”
