Taking the Tianxiang Pill means completely giving up all hope.

Emperor Yan closed his eyes and said in a daze: "My greatest wish is to choose the most suitable person from several children to inherit the country, but look at what they have become." ”

"If the country is handed over to them, how long can the Yan Kingdom stand in the troubled times?"

"If the ancestors knew that I was such a failure as a father, and that I didn't teach a good child, so that the entire Yan Kingdom fell into a crisis, how would I have the face to meet my ancestors?"

Emperor Yan knew it in his heart.

At present, Yan Guo has always been struggling for support, and once he kicks his legs away, Yan Guo will be in chaos.

"But Your Majesty, you can't, you can't, you can't, you can't abandon innocent people......"

The words of the waiter exploded gently in his ears.

After hearing this, Emperor Yan's mind suddenly sobered up.

Before, he seemed to have fallen into a fog, but now, he finally found a glimmer of light in the fog.

After a while, Emperor Yan said, "Tianxiang Pill...... That's it. ”

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was a little relieved.

However, at this time, Emperor Yan beckoned again, and said to the chief eunuch: "You come, I have something to command." ”

Hearing this, the chamberlain who was originally kneeling at Emperor Yan's feet hurriedly climbed up, half-bowed, and carefully put his ears close.

……

In the middle of the night, the back door of the Lu Guogong Mansion.

The dark alley where you couldn't see your fingers suddenly sounded with the sound of horses' hooves.

The long alley seems to be out of sight and endless, and just one glance makes people feel intimidated.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves stopped, and the carriage that came out of the palace gradually stopped here.

The chief eunuch jumped out of the car, he put on a black cloak, stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the back door of the Lu Guogong Mansion, and then stood by the door and waited.

The knock on the door was first three long and one short, then one long and three short.

It wasn't long before the sound of hurried footsteps came from inside the back door.

The manager raised his foot and raised his eyes slightly, and took a step back without hurrying, and heard the deadbolt being taken from the inside, and the back door 'creaked' open.

After taking a closer look, I saw Lu Guogong who came in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to put on his clothes.

The chief eunuch bowed slightly, and said with a respectful expression: "The slave has seen the grandfather of the country." ”

"Father-in-law is exempt." Lu Guogong gave a hand, his eyes did not hide his worry, and asked in a deep voice: "Father-in-law came late at night, did something happen to His Majesty?" ”

"The slave came on the emperor's orders, just to convey a word to the grandfather of the country."

Came late at night, just to pass on a word?

One can imagine how important the content of these words is.

One after another, he didn't dare to slack off, and his expression was tense.

After a while, he only heard the chief eunuch say: "Your Majesty asked the slave to tell the grandfather of the country, the second son of the mansion seems to be deeply involved with the envoys of the Liang country. ”

Hearing this, my heart jumped one after another, and I subconsciously wanted to refute and clarify.

However, after finishing speaking, before he could speak one after another, the chief eunuch spoke slowly: "But...... Your Majesty is generous, he can ignore the past things, but the next things can't help but ask. ”

Since the envoy of the Liang Kingdom had already set off for China a few days ago, the second prince should not be obsessed with him...... It is better that those correspondence should be cut off early, so as not to spoil the sincerity of the Lu Guogong Mansion to the royal family for several generations. ”

The chief eunuch looked at the increasingly ugly face one after another, and asked, "Grandpa Guo, can you understand what Your Majesty means?" ”

The words have been said very clearly, if he still doesn't understand one after another, he will be blind in the court for decades.

It turned out that when he didn't know it, Lu Yun was actually involved with the people of Liangguo, and even deeply involved, otherwise he would not have alarmed Emperor Yan.

Thinking of this, one after another's complexion was like smeared with ink, and it was extremely black.

The rebel!

It was he who miscalculated, originally thought that as long as he was optimistic about his younger son, he would not make a mistake.

So he ignored the rest of the house.

He never thought that the youngest son, who had always been the most out-of-the-box, didn't cause trouble, and in the end, it would be the second son who had a problem.

Shock and suspicion gradually took over his thoughts, so much so that he could not answer the question of the chief eunuch in the first place.

In his impression, the second son has always been stable and never needs him to bother, but what is going on now?

Secretly contact the envoys of the Liang Kingdom?

Doesn't he know how dire the situation is?

Without waiting for the reason to come to his senses, the chief eunuch spoke impatiently again: "Grandpa Guo, Your Majesty is still waiting for the reply of the slave in the palace. ”

Hearing this, his face turned solemn one after another, and he hurriedly said: "I hope that my father-in-law will bring a word to Your Majesty for me, and I will definitely find out this matter and give Your Majesty an explanation." ”

When the words fell, the chief eunuch's face looked better.

It's getting late now, and although it won't attract attention, the carriage of the palace shouldn't stay out for long.

Soon, the chief eunuch left quietly, as he had done when he came.

It wasn't until the carriage disappeared into the long back alley that he slowly came back to his senses, gathered the cloak on his shoulders, and crossed his eyebrows with coldness, and his voice was colder than the night wind:

"Invite the second son to the dark room, I have something to ask him."

The night is still very deep.

But many people are destined to have no sleep.

One after another is one of them.

If you don't dig out the relationship between your second son and the envoys of Liangguo.

I'm afraid he'll be sleepless for days and nights.

When the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion heard this, no one dared to disobey the intention of the succession at this time, and hurriedly went to the courtyard on the other side to invite someone.

……

Being woken up from his sleep, Lu Yun's expression was a little confused, and just when he was about to lose his temper and scold, he only heard someone outside the window:

"Second son, Grandpa Guo's dark room is invited."

Suddenly, the displeasure of being awakened immediately dissipated.

In every noble house, dark rooms and cellars are indispensable in the home.

And these places either hide things that are not visible, or talk about secrets that cannot be heard.

Whenever it comes to the darkroom, it's never easy.

Lu Yun jumped up from the bed, grabbed the clothes next to him and put them on his body, and asked with a headache: "It's so late, what is my father looking for me?" ”

"I don't know." The servant in the palace tried his best to lower his voice and said, "However, someone came to the palace tonight." ”

Lu Yun's action of dressing couldn't help but be stunned.

In the darkness, no one could see the expression on his face.

However, the pause was only for a moment, and soon he continued to dress as usual.

The door was opened from the inside, and Lu Yun's slender figure appeared in the doorway.

Outside the door, the little guy with the lantern led the way in front of him, and urged in a low voice: "Second son, hurry up, if you go late, Grandpa Guo should be angry." ”

Walking on the cobblestone road, Lu Yun asked casually, "Father is in a bad mood?" ”

"It doesn't sound right." The little guy didn't doubt him, and said: "When I meet the grandfather of the country, the second son should be careful when he speaks." ”

The little guy who was assigned didn't know what was going on at the back door, and only vaguely saw Lu Guogong's gloomy expression.

Although it was just a blink of an eye, he knew very well in his heart that Grandpa Guo would only show such a demeanor when he was angry.

didn't speak, but it was a scene of stormy weather, and no one dared to provoke it easily.

Hearing this, Lu Yun was silent.

His right eyelid kept beating, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

But he really couldn't think of it...... How did my father find out about that?

Obviously, he made his tail very clean.

The entire Guogong Mansion may not know what he did.

Wrong...... And the Imperial Palace, why does the Imperial Palace send people late at night?

What did the people in the palace say to my father?

Many questions hovered in Lu Yun's heart, but these questions could only be asked one by one when he really met Lu Guogong.

The light of a lantern was faint, illuminating only a short distance ahead.

Due to the reason of hurrying, the little girl was suddenly in the wind, and the time was shortened by half.

When he sent the person to the door of the dark room, the little servant reminded in a low voice: "Second son, Grandpa Guo is in a bad mood, no matter what he says later, you must not contradict it, don't add fuel to the fire." ”

"Bear with it and it's over."

Hearing this, Lu Yun could only smile bitterly.

It's not a question of whether he can't bear it anymore.

Even if he wants to endure it, I'm afraid that his father won't let him go easily.

The person quickly left.

Lu Yun was now in front of the dark room, and he only felt sad in his heart, and he didn't dare to reach out and push the door in.

The entrance to the darkroom is next to a century-old tree in the depths of the courtyard.

As for what he will face next, Lu Yun already has a guess in his heart.

He took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't avoid it, so he had to push the door in, close the courtyard door with his hand, and walk inside stiffly with his own lantern left by the little servant.

This distance is enough for him to do a good job of psychological construction, at least when facing Lu Guogong, he will not immediately disarm and surrender-

That's what land transport thinks.

However, the reality is even more terrifying.

After entering the dark room, he was greeted by an angry shout: "Rebel, kneel down for me!" ”

'Poof', Lu Yun knelt down without any hesitation.

He lowered his eyes, trying not to show anything out of the ordinary.

However, he underestimated Lu Guogong's ability to spy on people's hearts, and almost instantly, Lu Guogong saw the weakness of Lu Yun's heart hidden in his heart, and couldn't help but be even more angry.

"Replace it with something! What the hell have you done behind my back? ”

Lu Yun clenched his fists and said as calmly as possible: "Father's words make it difficult for me to answer, I have done a lot of things behind my father's back, I don't know which one my father is talking about......"

"Land transport!"

Seeing the real impatience in Lu Guogong's eyes, Lu Yun suddenly fell silent.

He did do a lot of things behind Lu Guogong's back, but those things were harmless, and they would not cause consequences that the Guogong Mansion could not bear at all.

But......

One of the most recent things......

It's true that he's too impulsive.

Seeing that he didn't speak, he continued to have a 'grunt' in his heart, and suddenly understood why His Majesty would send someone from the palace to warn him.

It turned out that the bastard boy in the family had really done a great thing.

The most terrible thing is that if His Majesty hadn't sent someone to remind him, he would still be kept in the dark and ignorant of his second son's rebellious behavior.
