The palace lamp pulled a long row of red, and the queen returned to the palace, but her mood was not as relaxed as when she went. She still had some expectations for the emperor, she felt that he would believe her words, but now, she asked her to go back to the palace to reflect.

She smiled wryly. The candle flame flickered a few times in front of her eyes, and suddenly there was an additional figure in front of her, "Queen Mother!" Jing Huiyan half-knelt in front of her.

"Yan'er," she raised her head without a little energy, her eyes flashed with sadness, and she raised her hand to touch his face, "Your father, he doesn't believe me." ”

Jing Huiyan's heart moved, his brows furrowed tightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Did the queen mother tell her father about the matter?" ”

The queen nodded, her eyes a little lost. Jing Huiyan was dumbfounded, his original plan was for the queen mother to secretly send someone to keep an eye on Concubine Mei, and secretly replace his father's food and medicinal food, so as not to poison them.

But I didn't expect the queen mother to speak out in front of her father. In this palace, I am cheating, but the queen mother was exposed early, even if she told her father, if he didn't believe it, it would be a dead end.

For so many years, when he was in the palace, the queen mother was often alienated by his father and was framed by Concubine Mei, saying that the mother is more expensive than the son, and he has been the prince for a few years, and the situation of the queen mother is better.

But he also knew that since his death, the life of the queen mother has been getting worse day by day, and now there is nothing else except the false name of the queen.

He stepped forward to hold her thin hand, a little distressed, knowing that he was not doing well, so he said: "It's the child's fault, knowing that this thing is difficult to do, and letting the queen mother take risks!" It is the child who is not filial, and he is always unable to protect the queen mother. ”

The queen raised her head, looked at him with a kind face, and said, "Yan'er, you are the son of the queen mother, and you are also the pride of the queen mother, you have done a good job." It's just that the queen mother doesn't understand something, why don't you go to the main palace and tell your father what happened? ”

Jing Huiyan shook his head, the candlelight sprinkled on his face, it was clearly extinguished, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, so he only heard him say in a deep voice: "Now, this palace is no longer my father's palace, there are Jing Hancong and Concubine Mei's eyeliner everywhere, and now I rush to find my father, I will definitely startle the snake!" ”

He paused as he spoke, looking up at the queen, there were too many things in her eyes that she couldn't understand, "Queen Mother, this time the child is going to make a earth-shaking change in Dongli, maybe it will succeed, maybe it will fail." This matter will shake the entire palace, and I will send two secret guards to you to protect you, and the queen mother will not have to worry about the rest of the things! ”

After that, he looked at the sky outside the window, and before the queen could speak, he said, "Okay, queen mother, it's time for the palace guards to change the guard, and the child will retire first!" ”

The queen tried to grab the corner of his coat, but in a trance she didn't, and the corner of his coat swiped past her fingertips. Her heart suddenly hurt, as if something was going to happen, she looked at the back of her son leaving in a daze, as if she had been dreaming these days, and when she woke up, she was still the old woman who had no son.

Outside the palace gate, someone has already answered. Jing Hui said that a few ups and downs landed in front of the man, the man was breezy and light, and two eyes of different colors were like a cunning cat in this darkness.

"How's it going?" He asked.

"My mother has spoken out to my father, and I'm not sure if my father will believe it. How's it going over there? Jing Huiyan frowned and asked him instead.

Su Jin put his hands behind his back, with an expression of bamboo in his chest, and said, "Seven, seven, eight, eight, give me two more days." ”

"Okay." He stood in the cold wind, the wind blew his clothes and flew away, making a rustling sound, "Jing Han has been preparing for the past few days, and the time is fast." After all, the nineteenth soldiers and horses were almost at the border. ”

Su Jin nodded and smiled weirdly, "Jing Han is a good plan from here, but it's a pity that the person he met is you." ”

……

Time flies, a few days have passed in a blink of an eye, the emperor's illness has become more serious, seeing that the emperor is already bedridden, the palace is depressed, and the whispered discussion of the little palace maid and little eunuch can be heard everywhere.

In the past few days, the queen has not slept well, and it can even be said that she can't sleep all night. On the one hand, the emperor's illness is getting worse day by day, and on the other hand, since she said goodbye that night, she has never seen Jing Huiyan again.

The emperor still didn't believe her after all. She felt a little bitter in her heart, obviously he was still a little better a few days ago, and he ordered with confidence that she was not allowed to step out of his palace for half a step, and now he was lying in bed and couldn't take care of himself.

And her son, there has been no news of him for the past few days, and she remembered the back of his departure that night, and there was a faint pain in her heart, is there something big going on?

In the emperor's bedroom, Concubine Mei was waiting, the emperor couldn't get out of bed at this time, he looked at Concubine Mei, couldn't say a word, and his eyes were a little sad.

Concubine Mei delivered the medicine to him, and in a slender voice, she said, "Your Majesty, get up and take the medicine!" She stepped forward and handed over a few points of the medicine in her hand, and when she fed it to the emperor, she sprinkled more than she drank.

She frowned, her eyes flashing with disgust, if she hadn't waited here for him to die, so that he could write the decree, would she have been here to take care of him day and night?

The effect of this medicine brought back by Jing Han is too poor, it is said to be chronic, but it is really so slow! Annoyedly, she withdrew a handkerchief and wiped off the medicine he had flowed from.

The emperor was already a little difficult to speak, his eyes were shining, and his eyes were red with eye lines, "It hurts...... Hurt...... No...... Eat...... Not ......"

Before the next "eat" was said, Concubine Mei looked disgusted, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, if you don't take medicine well, how can you cure this disease well!" This Jiangshan Sheji, without you, it's over! If you die, there will be no one to succeed you! ”

The emperor looked at her, his eyes were full of disappointment, this is Concubine Mei who he has loved for so many years, and now that he is dying, all she thinks about is the throne?

Concubine Mei pinched his mouth with her hand, poured the bowl of medicine straight down, and the viciousness in her eyes was not concealed, "Your Majesty, you still drank this medicine, ascend to heaven as soon as possible, and give up the throne to our son!" ”

There were only two of them in this hall, and her voice was not high, but it was enough for the emperor to hear. He choked on the medicine and coughed violently, and his whole face was red, as if he was about to breathe.

The little eunuch outside the door heard such a big movement, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

Concubine Mei hurriedly replied: "It's okay, the emperor just has a cough!" ”

When the people outside the door heard her words, they said nothing more. Concubine Mei lowered her voice and looked at the emperor again, and said, "Your Majesty, now that your body can't last too long, it's better to make a will early." The concubine has served you for so many years, and you have Han'er, a sensible and obedient child, now in this palace, except for Han'er, who can afford this throne! ”

After that, he said close to the emperor's ear: "Whoever prevents my son from ascending to the throne will not end well." For example, didn't your beautiful prince also die at the hands of Han'er? ”

The words were heart-wrenching, so that the emperor didn't come up in one breath, his fingers trembled and pointed at her, his face was full of anger, he "poofed" a mouthful of blood, his eyes were white, and he didn't say a word until he died.

The blood was splashed everywhere, and even Concubine Mei's body was sprayed a lot, this person said that she was also happy, she was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, what happened, so she lay on the side of the dragon bed, pretending to cry loudly!

"The emperor has died! The emperor is dead! Concubine Mei's voice resounded throughout the palace. The bell struck by the death knell bell resounded throughout Dongli.

In the queen's palace, Mama got the news and hurriedly told the queen. The queen was depressed and went to her brain, and her eyes were dark, but fortunately, the grandmother next to her was quick and helped her.

The queen held her forehead, fainted, tears flowed from her eyes, and her voice trembled, "Mama, take me, take me to see him for the last time......"

The voice was full of remorse and reluctance, wasn't it, if he had listened to Yan'er's words and secretly helped him change the poison, he wouldn't be like this.

She staggered, completely losing her usual majesty and indifference, but she was really like a widowed woman, showing a little embarrassment.

They rushed to the main palace, and a group of concubines were already depressed in front of the dragon bed, and the mournful sound made her ears ring, and she staggered to the front and pulled away the people around her.

The person in front of him was no longer as full of energy as before, his face was gray, his mouth was full of blood, and he looked like a corpse thrown in the wild.

She trembled and wiped the blood from his mouth with a handkerchief, touching his cold face, and she couldn't help it, and cried bitterly.

For so many years, she had complained, she hated, she even really cursed him to die, but when he was really dead, she was the saddest one, as if someone had dug out her heart that had been beating for more than fifty years out of her body.

This is her emperor, her old man! She lay in his ear and wept bitterly, regardless of the image.

On the other side of the palace, the ministers rushed to mourn when they heard the sound, but they were all stopped by Concubine Mei to the court, she was dressed in white, with a haggard face, as if she was overly sad.

Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics, and now that the emperor has died, they have been brought here by this Concubine Mei, and they want to know what it is for.

Sure enough, this Concubine Mei first covered her face and cried bitterly, completely ignoring the image of the concubine, and said while crying: "When the emperor died, it was the palace that was waiting on the side, and the emperor couldn't even lift the pen, and finally still held his breath and verbally told the palace the will." All the ministers know that in this palace, except for the second prince, no one has the ability to assume the throne, and now that the emperor has died, he told the palace to give up the throne to the second prince to inherit! ”

The ministers were silent after hearing this, after all, it was only a matter of words, and they could not distinguish between truth and falsehood, and no one dared to respond. Seeing that no one responded, Concubine Mei said again: "The palace knows that the palace says so, and no one believes the palace, but now the emperor has handed over the military power of the palace to the palace, and the palace is naturally ......."

"How are you? You killed your father and tried to usurp the throne, and now you are still forcing everyone to join you in the traitor! A calm, somewhat calm voice interrupted her.

The voice of the words was not high, but it was enough for everyone to hear it, and they all turned their heads to look out the door. A slender figure at the door, before he stepped in, gave people a kind of pressure.

It wasn't until he walked in front of everyone that everyone was shocked, this person, this person was not the crown prince they died three years ago! How can this dead man be resurrected?

Concubine Mei didn't expect someone to stop her, there was a hint of fierceness in the corners of her eyes, and she was about to kill without mercy, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Jing Huiyan standing in the middle of everyone, looking at her coldly.

"Ahh She took a step back in surprise, sat down in her chair in fright, and looked like she had seen a ghost, and in a moment she came back to her senses and shouted viciously, "Who are you so bold to pretend to be a dead prince!" Someone's coming! Pull this pretending ghost out and behead him! ”

After a while, the main hall was full of guards with knives, surrounding Jing Huiyan and several ministers. Draw the knife and reply to the scene.

Concubine Mei sneered, and before she could give an order, a eunuch hurriedly came in from outside the door, sweating on his forehead, and ran in and hurriedly said, "Oh no, someone has hit the palace gate!" I don't know who brought 3,000 people and fought with the palace guards! ”

Concubine Mei's eyes were cold, and she immediately pointed at Jing Hui and said: "Bold, you dare to be so presumptuous in the palace, you actually want to take advantage of the emperor's death to seek power and usurp the throne!" ”

After that, he waved his hand, "Arrest Jing Huiyan to the palace!" ”

"Wait!" I don't know who stopped the minister, "The crown prince was originally the heir recognized by the emperor, but now that the emperor has died, the prince has returned to the palace, and the crown prince should have succeeded to the throne, how can he seek power and usurp the throne!" ”

When the minister said this, all the people echoed him. Compared with the vicious second prince, it is still their Dongli's crown prince who is capable and cautious. For the sake of Dongli's future, they must be on the side of the prince!

Concubine Mei saw that the minister's opinions were biased towards Jing Huiyan, and her eyes flashed with cold light, the guards in this palace listened to her words! "Someone! Arrest these rebels and thieves for me! ”

After not seeing any time for a long time, she slapped the table, "Presumptuous, I didn't even listen to the orders of this palace!" Don't you want your heads? ”

Jing Huiyan only felt that she was ridiculous, he opened his mouth lightly, and said: "The first emperor died, Concubine Mei was crazy, and she was disrespectful, pressed into the cold palace, and strictly guarded!" ”

"Yes!" The guards who had pointed their swords at everyone just now were aimed at Concubine Mei at this time. Scared her to sit on the ground, what's going on? Why did these guards listen to Jing Hancong's orders?

She sat on the ground and muttered, lacking confidence: "Presumptuous! This palace is the concubine of the palace, who dares to be disrespectful to the palace, in this world, except for the emperor, no one dares to do anything about this palace! Presumptuous, presumptuous! ”

"Really?" A heart-filled voice came, and a person walked in surrounded by everyone, and everyone saw it, as if they had been immobilized.

The eunuch next to the man shouted: "Don't kneel down when you see the emperor!" ”

Only then did the ministers react, and they all knelt on the ground, but their eyes were full of horror, what is going on, didn't the emperor die!

But now, isn't this the emperor standing in front of them! The queen supported the emperor and stood in front of them, and everyone was glad that they didn't follow Concubine Mei to seek power just now, otherwise even ten heads would not be enough!

It's just that this day has really changed, and now the painting style of resurrection from the dead is prevalent? Or are they in a nightmare? Ministers sweat on their foreheads.

Jing Huiyan was also a little surprised, but when he saw that there was a purple-robed young man beside the emperor, with a pair of different eyes with a smile, he understood a little in his heart. He must have done something in secret.

Concubine Mei saw the person in front of her clearly, her eyes glared at the boss, as if she had seen a ghost, she was so frightened that she took a few steps back, her face was frightened, "You, you ......"

She stretched out her hand and pointed at him tremblingly, she saw with her own eyes the medicine he drank, and she saw him die with her own eyes. How could he be here again.

The emperor looked at her, and the anger in his eyes was obvious. On that day, the queen went to his palace and said that Concubine Mei wanted to harm him, but he didn't believe it and grounded the queen.

Later, when he calmed down, he sent someone out of the palace secretly and took out the decoction he drank to test, and sure enough, it was a chronic poison, so he planned it and accompanied Concubine Mei to perform this play.

Concubine Mei looked at him with fear in her eyes, "No, no, this is not the emperor, the emperor is dead now...... No......"

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Someone! Crush this witch into the prison! In addition, send someone to expedite and let the nineteen princes arrest the second prince back to the court, remove the royal family, and behead him on a certain day! ”

Concubine Mei was stunned after hearing this, her face was stunned, and after a while, she reacted to what he said, and hurriedly climbed to his feet: "Your Majesty, the emperor is all concubines and concubines, it's not about Han'er, your Majesty, please spare Han'er, it's the concubines who are confused, please ask the emperor!" ”

Her face was full of tears, pitiful, just like she begged him before, if she hadn't gone through today, he would have believed her, and he would have pitied her, and spared Jing Hancong, but now, he snorted coldly: "My words don't work!" Don't hurry up and pull this demon concubine down! ”

This time, the guards finally dragged her down, and the ministers all returned to the ground in fear, and Jing Huiyan stood aside. The emperor finally had time to look at his son, who had returned from the dead.

"Reply...... "His voice called him as it had been a long time ago."

Jing Huiyan also responded to him as he did a long time ago, "Erchen is here!" ”

The emperor's eyes were slightly red, and a thousand words finally turned into one sentence: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" He reached out and patted Jing Huiyan on the shoulder.

The people of Dongli have not yet recovered from the emperor's death, and the news that the emperor is not dead has already spread.

The news that "Concubine Mei poisoned and brutalized the emperor, intending to seek power and usurp the throne, the emperor cheated to death, and Concubine Mei was beheaded on a certain day" spread all over the streets.

Jing Huiyan walked side by side with Su Jin, listening to the discussion on the streets and alleys, his heart was also in a trance, and he asked out loud: "How did you get in touch with my father?" ”

Su Jin looked ahead without squinting, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It's inconvenient for you to enter the palace, so I sneaked in, then this token of yours, well, your token, told your father what happened, but speaking of which, in fact, your father is already secretly guarding against Concubine Mei, it seems that your mother's words have played a role." ”

Su Jin looked at him from afar, and said: "Later, I looked for a medicine to fake my death, which can make a living person like a dead person within half an hour, and the person will come back to life after the effect of the medicine, how about it, is my idea wonderful?" ”

Jing Huiyan raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, "Why didn't you talk to me before?" ”

Su Jin smiled faintly, "I'm afraid of failure!" ”

"......" Jing Hui was speechless, this Wing King of South Vietnam really thought it was a game, but speaking of which, if he hadn't mediated it, his father would not have seen Concubine Mei and Jing Hancong so clearly.

"What about Jing Han from over there?" Jing Huiyan asked.

"Someone has already been sent to pass the news," Su Jin squinted his eyes and said, a little coldness appeared on his face, "I'm afraid I'm starting to rush back to Dongli at this time!" ”

Jing Huiyan nodded, looked at Su Jin for a long time and was silent, he knew the grievances and hatred between Su Jin and Jing Huiyan, sighed, and didn't say anything more.

I only heard Su Jin say: "Since the matter of the palace has been resolved, then Su Jin should also leave." ”

Jing Huiyan knew that he was going to take revenge, so he didn't stop it, and said, "Then I won't keep you either." There are still a few things to deal with in the palace! ”

Jing Han made a good calculation from this time, obviously attacking South Vietnam to gain the throne, but in fact, he asked his mother to poison the emperor in the palace and seek the throne. And the 19th prince who was the most capable of obtaining the throne in the imperial palace had already been sent to the border of South Vietnam. Jing Han was able to give up attacking South Vietnam halfway and return to Dongli Palace to inherit the throne.

Therefore, at this time, the Dongli Palace not only had to clear the remnants of Jing Hancong, but also to prevent the nineteenth prince from bringing troops back to launch a mutiny.

The two said goodbye to each other.

……

Su Lu and Jing Han on the border of South Vietnam got the news from both sides. Both of them are happy, Su Lu is happy that the opportunity has finally come, and Jing Han is happy that this Dongli is finally his!

He ordered that he would leave for the palace tomorrow.

Jin Chenkang got the news, hurriedly went to Su Lu's barracks, and saw that Su Lu was a little excited on his face, he understood a little in his heart, and said, "It seems that the time is ripe!" ”

Su Lu said, "Yes, did Jing Hancong make any moves?" ”

Jin Chenkang was also much more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow we will leave for the palace." ”

Su Lu nodded, "Then we'll catch him off guard tonight!" ”

It was slightly cool at night, Su Jin finally arrived at the camp on horseback, at this time Su Lu was arranging and distributing troops, and when he saw him coming back, he raised his head, and went to work on something else, he knew that he would not let go of such a good opportunity.

Kill Jing Hancong and have a chance to avenge the second lady of Pingliang Houfu.

When the generals saw the Wing King, they wanted to get up and salute, but they were interrupted by him, "Don't be polite, what are your plans, this king will also listen." ”

Su Lu didn't look up, and said: "Tonight to raid Jing Hancong's military camp, first send three thousand elite armor to pretend to raid at the city gate, attract their troops to the city gate, and then send two hundred secret guards to the enemy's rear camp to burn the grain and grass, take advantage of their internal chaos, and then Jin Chenkang will open the city gate for us, and the inside and outside should work together to wipe Jing Han out of the net!" ”

After he finished speaking, a few traces of happiness flashed on Su Jin's face, this day has finally arrived, and he can finally avenge Xue'er! He smiled coldly and said, "I will bring three thousand fine armor to fight Jing Hancong in front of the front door!" ”

When the night passed, there was a group of patrolling soldiers on the city wall, Su Jin under the city was wearing silver armor, holding a spear, and the soldiers behind him were also wearing strong and sharp, and the cluster of firelight made the soldiers on the city gate startled, and hurriedly ran to tell them.

Jing Han was in the camp tent and Yang Yuyan Yunyu, when he heard someone coming, his clothes were open and he didn't have time to put them on, so he put them on his body indiscriminately, so he went up to the city wall with the soldiers.

When he saw Su Jin alone, he smiled contemptuously, stood on the city wall, and said disdainfully: "Su Jin, are you underestimating that I have no one in Dongli, with three or five thousand soldiers, you dare to come to me and shout!" ”

Su Jin sneered, his voice was not loud or small, and the faint wind came into Jing Hancong's ears, "Jing Hancong, tonight is your death date." The king will sacrifice my dead wife with your blood. ”

That voice, like a Shura from hell, could claim Jing Hancong's life at all times, and sure enough, he shuddered, and the scene of the death of the Nine Emperor Princes was vivid.
