"It's really outrageous the more you talk about it..."The emperor laughed angrily, "It's the Wei'er who learned that you left the other garden, and begged me to let the whole city look for you!" I learned that you trespassed into the Forbidden Mountain, and it was I who asked Hu'er to take someone to Lianyue Mountain to arrest you! You sang this good show, but you just wanted to use the epidemic to tear down all the obstacles on the way to the throne! ”

"Father, isn't it—"

"-If it weren't for the epidemic poison you made, how would you know how to make an antidote!"

When the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back - indeed, as Duan Ming said, saying that the poison prescription is in my hands at this time will undoubtedly make the emperor disbelieve my words even more. As for the origin of the muscles, bones, and grass, I can't mention a word.

"Your Majesty, I know that I am speechless, and you don't want to admit me as a daughter-in-law anymore." I said sadly, "But now, my life and death, His Royal Highness the Prince's innocence, are not the first important matter." Nowadays, the epidemic is rampant in Kazhou, and countless innocent people die every moment of delay! We need to come up with an antidote as soon as possible to put an end to this unwarranted disaster! ”

The emperor looked down at me fixedly, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be extinguished by my tears.

I am not exaggerating. This epidemic poison is made by the poisonous immortal Zhu Yutang, one to ten, ten to hundred, if not contained as soon as possible, at least half of the people will be lost in Kazhou. And now that the south is in turmoil, once the two countries go to war, if the national capital collapses from the inside, it will be a catastrophe for the end of the world.

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, this is really an existential crisis, not the time to argue about right and wrong!" I wiped away my tears and straightened up my body, which had been low for a long time, "Erchen is willing to ask for his life to quell the epidemic in Kazhou, if he is not successful, he will be rewarded with his life!" ”

For the first time, the emperor showed a surprised look, and he looked at my determined eyes hesitantly: "You are serious..."

"Not bad! Erchen is willing to let go of his own personal grievances first and solve the urgent need of the heart! I said earnestly, "It's just that now that the whereabouts of the muscles and bones are unknown, the retainers need the emperor to temporarily pardon the retainers as innocent, and give the retainers the right to order the imperial doctor and the household department!" ”

"You dare to negotiate terms with me?"

Not only that, but the father also promised his son. If Erchen really quells the epidemic in Karanzhou, you can no longer hold Erchen accountable for the crimes committed by these days, and pardon Erchen's friends who accidentally hurt the palace guards. ”

"Even the return of Hotaru... You're crazy, you know who you're talking to? ”

"Erchen knows that since the palace banquet on Wanshou Day, the emperor has doubts about the identity of Erchen. So that when many things happened later, you didn't want to believe a word of your son. But just like Erchen Shicai said, once Kazhou survives now, if Erchen can dispel the epidemic, he will have made a miraculous contribution to the great intention. For this credit, the sons do not ask for rewards, but only want to be able to offset the merits and regain the trust of the emperor, so that you are willing to allow the sons to call you the emperor again, and you will be satisfied! ”

"Don't rejoice too soon." The emperor's voice was hoarse and low, "I agree to your request, from today onwards, no one in Karzhou will oppose you." As long as you make a deployment, even Wei'er will obey orders. ”

I couldn't believe the emperor's words for a while, and I was overjoyed; "Your Majesty...?"

"Three days." The emperor turned his back and didn't look at me anymore, "You only have three days." Three days later, if there are still people dying of the epidemic in Karzhou, I will tie you and your friends to the old market and burn you at the stake! ”

There was a tingling pain all over his body as if he had been pierced by thousands of steel needles, followed by a weak paralysis.

Three-day ......

"Okay, after three days, if the retainer can't control the epidemic, he will be at the disposal of the emperor."

When I came out of the palace, my consciousness was still a little trance. The red sun is about to set, and it is already dusk.

"How?"

The voice in front of me was not as clear and soft as Duan Ming, and I raised my head a little dazed, and met the gaze of Miyahata head-on.

"Why are you here..."

Before the words fell, tears fell like broken beads for some reason. My vision was blurred, but I stared at his silhouette intently, refusing to look away for a long time.

"I've heard it all."

Xu is an illusion, Xu is really embarrassed and depressed, and I seem to have tears of distress when I see Miyahata. He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes filled with endless regret and helplessness. His white fox fur fists were clenched white, trembling and refusing to move forward, as if he was struggling with the desire to hold me.

"It's me who is useless."

Before I could say something, I crossed the shoulders of the palace flag, and I saw two figures, one red and one purple, hurrying over from the long street.

It is the palace curtain and the palace drapery.

"Lian'er!"

When the palace lady saw me, he hurried over. I wiped the tears on my face with some weakness, and didn't look at the strange gaze that the palace curtain threw at me.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, do you still want to protect this slut now?" Gong Wei didn't know where a vicious anger came from, "The fourth brother is now lying in the mansion with serious injuries from her, as the eldest brother, doesn't such an attitude chill the hearts of brothers!" ”

"Don't be noisy!" The palace curtain held me in his arms and glared at the palace curtain angrily. "The matter has not been clarified, how can I talk to your sister-in-law like this?"

"Your Highness Mingjian, I did see the Fourth Highness on Lianyue Mountain, but I definitely didn't hurt him!"

"You still dare to be foxy!"

"—presumptuous!" The palace was furious, "Third child, where have you learned your usual etiquette, righteousness and morality, and since you entered the palace, you have been paying attention to the rights and wrongs of Lian'er all the way, are you going to be disrespectful to the future queen?" ”

"Brother don't dare..."

I hid in the arms of the palace curtain, squinted at the palace curtain and gritted my teeth and hung my head, while the palace banner on the side wiped away the tears when the two brothers came, and only stood quietly aside, eager to turn into air.

"Don't worry, Lian'er, I won't believe a word of the third child's words." The palace curtain glanced at the palace curtain that was standing with a bow, turned his head and whispered softly to me, "I will plead with my father and the emperor, and I will not let you be framed by some ill-intentioned people......"

"Your Highness believes in me, and I have nothing more to ask for." I broke out of the palace curtain's arms, looked directly at the palace curtain and said, "It's just that the third highness came down to complain, and it was really late." My father has promised not to pursue me for many crimes, and I will be fully responsible for the epidemic in Beijing. ”

Gong Wei's face seemed to be covered with a thick cloudy mist, and he looked at me with resentment without fear.

"Lian, you are really good." Gong Wei suddenly opened a malicious smile, "I just don't know, such a flood of epidemics, you are alone, who do you want to help you control?" ”

"Since I promised the emperor, I only have my plan. Why did the Third Highness become so kind and care about my affairs? ”

"It's not that I'm kind, it's just that it's a matter of luck, and my brother has to worry about my eldest brother." Gong Wei's gaze suddenly turned to the palace curtain with a confused face, and bowed down again, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the younger brother and the Lian family have no grudges, so there is no need to target them everywhere. Even if His Royal Highness thinks that his younger brother has bad intentions, then why should he go to the prince's mansion again to tell his father that the fourth brother was injured? ”

Gong Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he understood or not, but he was noncommittal. Gong Wei saw that the palace curtain did not scold, and hurriedly continued: "It's really my brother who is worried, this woman's identity is a mystery, I am afraid that she has a background in the rivers and lakes, she painstakingly sneaked into the prince's mansion to get close to His Royal Highness, no one knows her true purpose!" ”

"Don't sow discord! As the crown princess, I naturally do everything for the prince! ”

"Really? If you do everything for the prince, have you told the prince anything beforehand? The palace curtain is pressing step by step, "Have you ever contacted the prince after you were sent to the other garden by your father?" Who helped you escape back to Kazhou, and who was with you to go to the Moon Mountain and break into the Xuangong Palace? Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lian's various plans these days, and her request to her father to be in charge of the epidemic in Beijing, has she said a word to you? If it was for you, the younger brother naturally had nothing to say. But if there is another purpose, the younger brother asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be careful! ”

"Your Highness, don't listen to the palace curtains, I-"

"—Those comrades of yours have their own unique skills and ruthless hearts, and they are no ordinary swordsmen! The prince might as well think about it, Lian actually knows a strange person who can kill more than a dozen guards with one move and break into the Great Inner Forbidden Palace with one sword, her identity is really suspicious! ”

"Of course my sister-in-law doesn't know those martial arts masters, they are all found by me."

Everyone's surprised eyes fell on Miyahata, who had been standing by and silent, almost forgetting his existence.

"Old Five, what did you say?"

"The sister-in-law does have the heart to guard against the third brother, that's because the third brother has a high reputation and has long been famous." Miyahata frowned, his eyes were clear helpless and innocent, "It's just that my sister-in-law is married for the first time, and I know that my eldest brother loves my brother." I was afraid that the words of the third brother would make the eldest brother unhappy, so I turned to me for help. After all, I have been in the folk for a long time and know many martial arts masters. Thanks to them helping the sister-in-law, otherwise the eldest brother wouldn't know if he could see the sister-in-law now! ”

"Old Five, what nonsense are you talking about!" Gong Wei's eyes were about to split, "I haven't even said a few words to you, how can I ask for help in vain?" It's asking for help, with your little ability, how can I ask you for help! ”

"I am the only prince of Daxin except for the third brother and the fourth brother, and the only brother that the eldest brother can trust, why won't my sister-in-law turn to me for help." Gong Wan looked at Gong Wei sadly, "Third brother, you have performed many miraculous feats over the years, as a younger brother, I shouldn't have said these things to you." It's just that you are in the position of a prince, isn't it good to be a virtuous minister who assists the eldest brother in the future? Do you have to provoke your father to hate your eldest brother so that you are happy? ”

"The fifth... You're crazy, how can you say such a thing! Who taught you that! ”

"In the past, it was just a matter of our palace family, but now that the eldest brother has married a wife, is the third brother even willing to involve outsiders in order to compete for the throne?"

"Old Five, you are presumptuous-"

"—you're presumptuous!"

The palace curtain shouted violently, shocking everyone, where did the palace curtain dare to argue again, and they all held their breath for a while, and fell down one after another.
