Guogong Mansion, large study.

The early winter night is as cold as water, and the shadows of the trees outside the window are reflected in the room, which makes the study even more lonely.

Lu Yi finally couldn't stand this strange silence full of oppression, gritted his teeth and asked, "He, is he really Prince Zhaode?" ”

Prince Zhaode is Xiao Tingchen's nickname for Yuan Hui.

"Yes." Sikong Chen was very calm, "Twenty-two years ago, Grandpa Guo failed to save Prince Zhaode, and the blood of serving his family and country at the beginning, I don't know if it is still there?" ”

Twenty-two years ago, Lu Yi was also loyal to Yuan Hui.

Or rather, he was loyal to the Order.

Yuan Hui is the eldest son, and it is justifiable to inherit the throne, and it is not Yuan Xiao's turn to inherit it anyway.

But when Yuanxiao launched the palace change, Lu Yi was fighting on the frontier, so he missed the palace change.

Lu Yi's beard was hanging down, and he could see the look of hesitation.

After a long time, he said seriously: "What can you prove?" ”

"The Queen Mother." Sikong Chen's eyebrows were like mountains, "At that time, Grandpa Guo was fighting on the frontier, and he didn't know anything about the complicated situation in Chang'an City. The Empress Dowager was pregnant with Prince Zhaode's flesh and blood, but she was afraid of being victimized by a traitor, so she did not tell anyone, but secretly gave birth to the child and sent her to a farm house for refuge before the catastrophe came. After that, she was kidnapped by Yuan Xiao and became pregnant with twins. The older brother of the twins died after birth, while the younger brother lived well and even inherited the throne many years later. ”

Lu Yi's expression was complicated.

He didn't doubt the truth of Sikong Chen's words.

Because Sikong Chen is a famous emperor, assisting many emperors, he is brave and loyal, and it is impossible to do anything that is sorry for Daqi.

If there is anyone other than the imperial family who can represent Great Qi, then it can only be this famous emperor!

It is a matter of orthodoxy, and the emperor must have investigated it clearly early on.

Wax tears rolled down and gradually piled up on the silver cup into a hill.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Yi suddenly squeezed his old fist, "I regret the mistakes of the year!" So much so that all these years in Yuan Xiao's court, I have never been able to let go. Now that the emperor is taking the lead, I naturally follow in the footsteps of the emperor! If the emperor has any instructions, just say it! ”

Sikong Chen twisted his beard and smiled, "Xiao Tingchen is naturally sensitive, if we delay for too long, he must be aware of it." In my opinion, why don't you force the palace tonight and catch him off guard. With 200,000 soldiers and horses in charge of the Shenwu Battalion, Grandpa Guo can control the entire Chang'an City as soon as possible, strictly guard all city gates, and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving. As the so-called hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, we must cut off all possibilities for his comeback and wipe out all his cronies! ”

Lu Yi got up and solemnly bowed his hand to Sikong Chen: "But it's up to the emperor to decide!" ”

Sikong Chen gave a hand.

The old man's eyes were bloody, and he glanced quietly out the window.

There was a dark shadow hiding under the window.

Lu Cun trembled slightly, and covered his mouth tightly to suppress the urge to shout.

He had heard of the great name of the emperor, and Daqi was originally only a small country, and it was under the auspices of the emperor that it gradually expanded and became powerful.

The prestige of the emperor in Daqi is very, very high, and he is an existence admired by everyone.

Although it is said that the emperor will never do anything wrong, but ......

However, although Xiao Tingchen's succession to the throne may not be justified, he is kind to him after all.

He once fished him out of the quagmire, how could his father betray the emperor for the sake of the so-called "justification"?

What's more, the emperor is still his brother-in-law!

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Cun's forehead, and he ran to the stable with his hands and feet.

He must report to the emperor!

He didn't care about etiquette, and forced the Praetorian Guards to open the palace gate with the identity of the prince, and quickly rode through the long palace alley on a fast horse, heading straight to the Qianhe Palace.

Who knew that when he arrived at the Qianhe Palace, he saw no trace of Xiao Tingchen.

Wu Song stood under the eaves, listening to him panting and saying what he meant, and his feminine and fair face was indistinguishable.

Lu Cun was so anxious that he couldn't do it, "Lord Wu, where did the emperor go, you have something to say!" ”

Wu Song was silent and looked at the night dome.

The clouds converge and the stars fall.

The moonlight was dim, and the cold style was biting.

"Lord Wu," Lu Cun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "I thought, it's better to quickly notify the emperor to take refuge in the city, and stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood, saving life is more important than anything else!" ”

"Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?" Wu Song leisurely, "Today's fruits are all his own fault." The queen mother persuaded him, and our family also persuaded him, but he didn't listen, who can blame him? ”

Lu Cun was slightly stunned, "Lord Wu?!" ”

He couldn't believe that a scheming person like Wu Song didn't even want to parry, and directly chose to give up!

Wu Song walked down the steps, "Our family doesn't have the ability to save him...... No one could save him. When disaster comes, it is better to save your life first. ”

Lu Cunwei watched him walk away in the vast night.

He was angry and anxious, so he had to ask the little palace maids to inquire about Xiao Tingchen's whereabouts.

The man he remembered was building a lotus fragrance in the Lotus Heart Lake in the Imperial Garden.

The elegant wood carving is carved into a two-storey small building, and the palace lamp is swaying lightly under the eaves.

Xiao Tingchen wore a dark embroidered gold plate dragon pattern regular clothes, squinted peach blossom eyes and sat on the rocking chair by the window, slowly threw a peanut into the air, and then used his mouth. Catch.

Behind the bead curtain, Kazuki gently stroked the kite.

She was born beautiful and moving, with a carmine light leno skirt swaying to the ground, and her long blue hair was pulled up at will, lining her skin white and snowy, and she was captivating the country and the city.

The sound of the zither is in the ears, not slow or slow, and it can be seen that the people who play the piano are in an indifferent mood.

Xiao Tingchen chewed peanuts and glanced at her.

I had never seen this woman when I was young, but I also admired it when I was far away in Jinling City.

Now that he has a high position at his fingertips, he is not interested, but misses the stupid Su Xiaojiu.

I don't know what the little girl is doing, does she miss him......

He tasted the sound of Hua Yueji's zither for a while, and his thin lips hooked lightly, "I thought that on such a cold night, there was only one lovesick person, but now that I hear it, it seems that you also have a lover in your heart." ”

Kazukihime's expression was still nonchalant.

The slender jade fingers brushed the strings, and her voice was like water: "Marriage is like a lively scene, but in the end, the song is over...... Compared with that kind of ethereal thing, the flower family cares more about practical interests. ”

"Actual benefits?"

Xiao Tingchen tasted the word.

At this time, the palace goddess of Weiyang Palace hurriedly broke in, and saluted Xiao Tingchen with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, she ...... She...... She suddenly vomited blood, and the imperial doctor said that the situation was not good! ”

Xiao Tingchen paused as he threw peanuts.

After a few moments, he got up.

Just as he was about to walk out, a particularly harsh zither sound popped out from Hanazuki's fingertips.

He looked sideways, and the girl smiled, "I'm going to die." ”

A sentence without a beginning or an end.

Xiao Tingchen left without care.

The cold wind blew out a few palace lights, and the lotus root incense Xiaozhu was dim.

Hua Yueji got up, picked up a few peanut shells that Xiao Tingchen threw on the ground, and threw them casually like a child.

The peanut shell fell to the ground, and it was a strange pattern outlined in the girl's eyes.
