Outside the city of Karju • Chain Moon Mountain

In March, the mountain is already beginning to come to life, the rain and snow moisten the parched ground, and the tender green grass sprouts out of the snow covering the land throughout the winter. However, at this moment, the sacrificial flags were scattered all over the ground, the maids and palace people were lying upside down, and the white filial piety clothes were stained with shocking blood.

When the elite of Prince Huan's Mansion pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus coffin of white marble, everyone present, including the palace curtains, was shocked - but they saw that Concubine Ying in the coffin was dressed in imperial concubine court clothes, her appearance was peaceful, and even the red coral beeswax pearl on her chest was neat and orderly, and it was not damaged by the riots in the outside world at all.

Gong Wei almost subconsciously looked to his side, but when he saw that Gong Hao, who was counting his swords in his body, was covered in blood, he was also struggling to raise his neck to look at himself, and his eyes were as unfathomable dark and cold as an ice abyss.

"Third brother, fourth brother won't die, and I won't die either." Miyahata's voice was so weak, but for some reason it sounded so harsh, "It's only you, third brother, the one who dies will only be you." ”

The palace curtain was cold, and before he came back to his senses, more than a dozen black-clothed people rushed out of Lianyue Mountain, standing between the elites of Prince Huan's Mansion who were at a loss.

"You want to frame me?" Gong Wei was furious, turned his head and shouted at his subordinates: "-Kill them all for me!" ”

The elites of Prince Huan's Mansion were shocked when they heard this, and they hurriedly drew their swords and slashed at the black-clothed man beside them. However, those black-clothed people are different from the palace guards, and they are all strong in martial arts, and no matter how the elites of Prince Huan's Mansion fight, they can't hurt a bit.

What's even more strange is that although their martial arts are much higher than those of the Prince Huan's Mansion, they try their best to give in to each other, only caring about defense, and have no killing moves.

"Third brother, don't be busy, they are the dead soldiers of the Tail Sect Gangfeng Banner, and they are the ones who serve your Prince Daxinhuan. Why do you invent iniquity? ”

"-You!" Gong Wei was already extremely angry, and regardless of anything else, he stabbed at Gong Wan with his sword, "I can't kill them, I will kill you villain first!" ”

The blade of the long sword was instantly bullied to the forehead, and when Gong Wan closed his eyes, he heard the sound of metal clashing, and when he opened his eyes again, only a golden dart was inserted into the ground, and the sword of Gong Wei had been bounced to the outside.

The palace curtain sword was out of his hand, and he was extremely surprised, but he had already killed his eyes, and ran towards the palace banner again with his bare hands. At the last moment, he saw a black-armored figure flying over, throwing the palace curtain to the ground and holding him dead.

"The Praetorian Guards are late for rescue, and they ask the five princes to surrender!"

Half of his face was pressed to the ground by the palace curtain, and he squinted at Wen Zhao, and became furious again: "Praetorian Guard... Lihou! Lihou! You treacherous man, you framed me—"

"-Rebel, don't stop talking!"

When Gong Wei heard this loud shout, he immediately lost his tongue. He raised his eyes in fear and looked up, and sure enough, he saw the emperor's face that was already white and trembling with anger.

"Father!"

"Don't call me my father, I don't have a son like you!"

"Father! Father, you have to listen to your son's explanation! Gong Wei frantically struggled with his body that was held by Wen Zhao, regardless of the mud that was stained all over his face and splashed in his mouth, "This is their trick, it is the Marquis of Li, and it is the fifth child who framed the minister!" ”

"You still want to quibble! I saw you raise your sword to kill your brother, but he couldn't provoke you to kill him! ”

Wen Zhao grabbed the palace curtain by the wrists with one hand, and grabbed his loose hair with the other hand and lifted it violently. Shaking off the mud that was sticky with his eyelids, Gong Wei saw that the palace banner was covered in blood and unconscious, and he had been protected by several Praetorian Guard regiments, and the imperial doctor Geng Yu squeezed out of the crowd, knelt on the side of the palace banner with a hasty face, and carefully picked up his hand to carefully check the pulse.

Looking around again, the few elites of Prince Huan's Mansion and the few black-clothed dead soldiers of the Tail Sect had already been held by the Janissary with knives around their necks, kneeling on the ground one by one, and no one dared to look up.

"Father! It's the fifth, it's really the fifth! ”

"Father's ......"

On the side, the palace banner was pinched by Imperial Doctor Geng, and he was already awake at this moment. When the emperor saw that his young son woke up, he hurriedly shook off He Quan, who was supporting, and walked over weakly and staggeringly: "Banner! You're all right, my father is here! ”

"Father..."The palace banner opened his eyes in a daze, and the moment he saw the emperor's concerned face, tears fell from his eyes, "Father, you are finally here, the concubine's Azusa Palace... Father, the son is incompetent, and he can't stop the third brother, he broke the concubine's Zigong ......"

"It's okay, don't worry!" The emperor was so anxious that he coughed again and again when he saw the palace flag, and his mind was dizzy with distress, "Concubine Ying is fine, Concubine Ying is fine, I have already seen it, no one offended your mother's body!" ”

Gong Wan heard the emperor's comfort, and his mood seemed to calm down a little, but the tears still flowed from the waves: "Father... Erchen didn't understand, why the third brother ... The mother has passed away, why is the third brother still unwilling to give his son a way to live? ”

"Miyahata! You despicable villain, you shameless! Hearing Gong Wei whimpering like this, Gong Wei became more and more angry, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, "Father, he is lying!" It's him... It was he who teamed up with the Marquis of Li, and tricked his ministers into coming here to intercept the coffin——"

"—How dare you say it!"

No one expected that the emperor would turn around and slap the palace curtain on the muddy face. This slap is too powerful, the emperor is already ill, and he is angry and angry, this palm, even if a mouthful of blood vomits out, he coughs all over his body.

"Father!"

Seeing that the Praetorian Guards came up to talk to Wen Zhao, he rushed to the emperor's side with an arrow. However, Wen Zhao was so vigorous, before the palace curtain jumped out of half a zhang, he once again put him on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the last general's person has already asked clearly. The origin of the traitors is divided into two batches, but they are all driven by the three princes. One group is the elite family army secretly raised by Prince Huan's mansion, and the other group is... It is the rebel thief of the tail sect to clear the water flag. ”

As soon as Wen Zhao's words came out, everyone was shocked. But seeing that the emperor's chest rose and fell violently, he immediately vomited a mouthful of blood again.

"Father! I don't—"

According to the confession of Prince Huan's family army, the third prince ordered the fourth prince to secretly correct the people in the sect early in the morning. The purpose is... It is for the emperor to control the funeral of the queen of heaven, if there is no clear decree to pass on to the prince of Huan, they will rely on the blessing of the forces of the rivers and lakes to force the palace to seize the throne......"

The emperor's face was already pale, only his eyes were crawling with a terrifying bloodshot. His eyes bulged slightly, his lips trembled, and for a long time, he just stared at his son under him, and he could not say a complete sentence.

"Your Majesty, no wonder even the girl is scared like that." He Quan, who was holding the emperor, said with a bitter face, "Last night, even the girl went into the palace to mourn Concubine Yingniang, but she happened to bump into the four princes who were conspiring with the rebels of the Tail Sect in the imperial garden. The poor girl's previous injuries were caused by breaking through the plot of the four princes and being almost killed, and now she is in danger again... Fortunately, General Wen accompanied him into the palace and desperately protected his life! ”

"It turned out that the Hou Ye couldn't bear to meet Concubine Yingniang, so he sent Miss Lian to visit Huangqi Palace last night. In order to avoid the gossip of the palace people, the Hou Ye also ordered to follow Miss Lian into the palace at the end. Wen Zhao replied, "The last general can testify against his father-in-law's words, last night even the girl saw the four princes secretly meeting with the rebels in the imperial garden, and she was really frightened... The Admiral had never seen her look so frightened. ”

"—Nonsense! How did he enter the palace and have a secret meeting with the demon of the Tail Sect! Father, you think, even if the sons and daughters intend to let the fourth hook end the teaching, how can they be stupid enough to meet in the palace! The palace curtain swelled and reddened with a red face, and argued excitedly, "Yesterday's whereabouts of Hu'er are unknown, it must be the demon girl of the Lian family, together with Lihou and Gong Wan, intending to frame the minister!" ”

"The three princes don't have to reverse black and white!" Wen Zhao's words were fierce, "Your Majesty, the last general saw with his own eyes last night that the four princes conspired with several rebels of the Tail Sect dressed in palace costumes. They were originally placed in the palace, and how to go out of the palace to meet the four princes! Even the girl made a noise out of fear and was discovered by them, and the four princes killed the killer again. If it weren't for the last general's fists and kicks to protect Miss Lian, I'm afraid that the girl's fate would be even worse than the last time! ”

"Your Majesty, when the fight in the Imperial Garden last night alarmed the guards, although the fourth prince was not injured, he was indeed sober!" He Quan frowned and said, "When the old slave arrived, he had already been escorted to the room. It's just that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has a confused look, no matter how the old slave asks, he always doesn't say a word! ”

"Father... Father, you hear me! Hu'er's state is different, he was drugged! The palace curtain stared at the emperor's eyes and almost bleed, "Erchen understood... Everything is understood! It's Lian's, she's the demon girl of the Tail Sect! It was she who secretly assisted the palace banner with the power of the Tail Sect, as well as the Lifu and the Praetorian Guard, none of them were clean! Father, you don't know, it was the old man of Lihou who told his son, saying that the palace flag had locked the hoo in Concubine Ying's coffin! ”

"The three princes are cautious! My marquis entered the palace with hundreds of officials early this morning to send funeral mourning, but you were absent for no reason, which is a well-known thing. Dare to ask when and where the Hou Ye told you that the five princes imprisoned the four princes in the Yingfei Niangzi Palace! ”

Wen Zhao's arm holding the palace curtain became more and more powerful, and his face flushed as if he was wronged and angry: "Even if you are at odds with the five princes, it is useless to wronged the last general and the girl Lian - the elder of the three dynasties of the Hou Ye, who is dedicated to assisting the palace family; The Praetorian Guard has been established for many years, and how much work has been made to build the Great Heart! Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you have slandered them so much, and you dare to ask where your conscience is! ”

The old slave remembered that the Third Highness secretly made a statement to His Majesty early in the morning, saying that the imperial doctor Geng Yu was bribed by the Fifth Highness. The Third Highness said it vividly, and the old slave was skeptical at first. Now it seems that there is something suspicious! ”

Father-in-law He Quan's eyes were filled with tears for some reason, and his voice was full of trembling grievances: "According to the words of the Third Highness, the old slave was also bought by the Fifth Highness, and he calculated His Majesty together!" The old slave doesn't know what skills the Fifth Highness has to make the Lifu, the Praetorian Guard, the Tai Hospital, His Majesty's chamberlain and the Tail Sect demon all work for him! If he was so powerful, how could he be lying here now, with you lifting the coffin of Concubine Ying, and almost killing him with your sword——"

"-He Quan!"

The emperor shouted violently, and immediately overpowered all the voices. Under the fury of the Son of Heaven, everyone held their breath - suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, illuminating the dark clouds that had gathered over this Lianyue Mountain since the right time. The emperor was already unconscious, but he was lying on top of He's whole body and supporting his body. He looked slowly into the sky, a cold rain dripping onto his closed eyelids.

"Spread my will, the third son of the emperor, the palace curtain of the prince of Daxinhuan, coveting the imperial power, perverse and perverse, demagoguery, and countless murders. Such a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person is not worthy of being the prince of my country. He abolished all the officials and was sentenced to beheading on the same day. ”

"Father......?"

"The fourth son of the emperor, the palace of the great heart, has no social merit outside, no virtue of courtiers inside, does not distinguish between good and evil, and acts as a tiger. He was removed from the title of county king, abolished as a concubine, and imprisoned in a ghost prison for life, never to be released. ”

Heavy rain poured down on the blood-stained earth. Gong Wei was numb all over, slowly tilting his head to the sky, letting the cold rain slap his bloodshot eyeballs, which were almost blind.
