When Lin Qingzhi heard that the emperor was seriously ill and bedridden, and the prince had been by his side, he vaguely felt that things were not good, so he said that he was sick and made an excuse and secretly sent Chengche to the Lin Mansion.

Because Lin Qingzhi knew that she and Chengqing were Xiao Mufeng's biggest weakness, if Master Elder Xuanji and Murong Qing made a move at this time, they would definitely take their mother and son hostage, so she had to send Chengqing far away to ensure that he was safe before she could give it a go, and Lin Mansion was undoubtedly the safest place at the moment.

And he can't escape together, and he won't hide and let Xiao Mufeng fight alone. Therefore, Lin Qingzhi ordered Ah Er to inform Elder Xiao Mufeng that Elder Xuanji had arrived in the capital, and also informed Murong Qing's identity.

Lin Qingzhi's purpose in staying is to contain Murong Qing, if there is no Murong Qing, then the master's strength will be greatly weakened, and Xiao Mufeng will have a greater chance of winning.

Xiao Muheng heard the news that the emperor was critically ill and flew to the palace, but he was still a step too late, and when he threw himself next to the emperor who had lost his breath on the dragon bed, tears fell on the smooth gold bricks.

There is hatred in his heart, he hates his father's affection and distrust of his mother who has always loved him, he hates his father for not helping his mother get justice, and letting her be forced to die, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and seeing the loving father and emperor lying on the dragon bed without a trace of anger, his heart is as uncomfortable as suffocation.

After a long time, he calmed the grief in his heart, his eyes gradually became cold as iron, since he knew that his mother died at the hands of the second brother in front of him, he had decided to give it a go, and today, is the time to see the victory.

I saw Xiao Muheng, the king of letters, suddenly stood up, pointed at Xiao Mufeng, who was lost and depressed, gritted his teeth and said: "Second brother, I know that you don't like your mother and forced her to death, but your father is also your father, why do you want to poison him together?" Are you so eager to sit on this throne? Don't you feel sorry for your conscience? ”

Xiao Mufeng slowly raised his head, his sloppy eyes gradually became sad, and he laughed at himself: "Could it be that in the eyes of the fourth brother, your second brother is such a person?" The man who poisoned his own father? You know that my father has been in poor health, do you know how sad it is for the second brother to say this? ”

Xiao Muheng turned his face away from Xiao Mufeng's eager and sad eyes, Sun Fuyu beside him reported that all the ministers were waiting outside the palace, Xiao Mufeng raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in a dumb voice: "It turns out that the fourth brother came prepared today, I'm afraid these ministers were also called by you, right?" ”

Xiao Muheng's expression was firm and did not deny it, and then said: "Yes, they were invited by me, I want them to see clearly that you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can disregard people and murder the monarch for the sake of the throne!" ”

Xiao Muheng took out a silver needle and put it into the emperor's residual medicine, the moment the silver needle touched the remaining medicinal juice, it became black and blue, Xiao Muheng's face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "It's really poisonous, His Royal Highness the Prince, I have long felt that my father's illness is strange, but I didn't expect you to dare to blatantly murder your father!" ”

Xiao Muheng immediately lifted the curtain and held the black and blue silver needle in his hand in front of him, and the officials kneeling on the ground were all stunned and stunned.

Xiao Mufeng got up suddenly, staring at Xiao Muheng in disbelief, it turned out that his fourth brother had already planned all this today, and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of him, but it turned out that he had finally gone to the opposite side of himself.

"Come on, take down this rebel thief!" Xiao Muheng's voice was cold and powerful.

Right Prime Minister Wen Zongshen also made up the knife in a timely manner: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, why are you doing this, if the emperor returns to the Nine Heavens in the future, this throne is still yours, why do you bother to do this?" ”

"Why should I do anything more? Presumably today's scene is also indispensable to you, right? Xiao Mufeng looked at Wen Zongshen coldly.

"What are you still doing? Do you still protect this person who cares about humanity and kills the king and kills his father? Come! Take! Xiao Muheng said sharply.

The old king of Qi came out and said loudly: "Slow, this king feels that there are still many suspicious things in this matter, and he can't conclude that it was the crown prince so quickly, and this king requests a thorough investigation before making a conclusion!" ”

But King Qi's words did not stop Xiao Muheng and the forbidden army, Xiao Mufeng's newly replaced forbidden army commander Qin Kang walked to Xiao Mufeng's side with two guards with knives, clamped Xiao Mufeng's arm, and Xiao Mufeng did not resist.

Xiao Mufeng just looked at Xiao Muheng quietly, with disappointment and sadness in his eyes, and then said slowly: "Fourth brother, do you want to ascend to this throne so much?" Is it worth it? ”

Xiao Muheng sneered and said: "Becoming a king and defeating a king, the second brother should think about how to save your life, since you decided to use my princess Zhiyi's life to play on the topic, so that our husband and wife cannot be reunited, and I was laughed at by the whole capital, framed my mother into the cold palace, and forced her to death, I know that you are no longer the second brother before, and you still ask me if it is worth it?" ”

"Would you believe me if I said none of this was my intention? Your mother was originally a Khitan spy in the northern kingdom, and her death has nothing to do with me. Xiao Mufeng's voice sounded softly and sadly in Xiao Muheng's ears.

"Enough! Don't try to delay time to turn the situation around, and don't think that I will let you go when I look back on my brotherhood, what I do is what I do, a manly man must dare to be bold, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not admit what he has done now, I really despise it! Xiao Muheng interrupted impatiently.

"His Royal Highness King Xin, time is pressing, let's hurry up and do it." A familiar voice sounded, and then a man in court clothes in the hall who had been keeping his head down raised his head and reminded.

This person is the person who has always wanted to win over King Shin's cooperation, and King Shin first met him when he was seven years old, and the person who taught him kung fu on the orders of Concubine Feng's mother taught him kung fu.

Xiao Mufeng looked at the person who spoke, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, and said, "It turns out that the son of the Murong family has reached a deal with the fourth brother of this palace, but the fourth brother doesn't know, you are just a chess piece in his hand, right?" When you get rid of me, this Khitan spy in the northern kingdom will get rid of you, fourth brother, don't you understand the truth that the praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches? ”

"Your Royal Highness the King of Letters, don't listen to his demagogic words, do it!" Just when King Xin made a gesture of killing without mercy, a group of guards holding long knives quickly walked into the hall from outside the hall and pulled out long knives one after another, but the blades were not aimed at Xiao Mufeng, but on the necks of Xiao Muheng and Wen Zongshen.

Qin Kang, the commander of the forbidden army who clamped Xiao Mufeng, also withdrew his knife and arched his hand to Xiao Mufeng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I have offended!" ”

Xiao Muheng, Wen Zongshen, Murong Qing and everyone in the hall were stunned by the situation in front of them, Xiao Muheng glared at Qin Kang even more angrily, and said angrily: "Commander Qin, what does this mean?" ”

"Haven't you seen it yet, Your Royal Highness King Xin has already been defeated, Qin has always been a person of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if you don't pretend to be bought, how can you see your wolf ambitions today?" Qin Kang's swarthy face did not have a trace of smile, and he didn't even look at Xiao Muheng, but his tone was full of contempt.

It turned out that Lin Qingzhi and Xiao Mufeng had long expected that Xiao Muheng would take advantage of the emperor's death to rebel, after all, this time was the best opportunity, and it was reasonable for Elder Xuanji to rush into Beijing at this juncture.

and Murong Qing, since he is a spy of the Khitan, he will definitely not let go of this excellent opportunity, Lin Qingzhi has long had a bold guess, that is, these three people have reached some kind of agreement.

And the purpose, without exception, is to overthrow Xiao Mufeng's newly established regime, Xiao Muheng's mind is simple and easy to control, and he has no military power and no deep city government, so it is naturally easier to control, but Xiao Mufeng is different.

"Fourth brother, if you can be your king of faith in peace, you and my brother will not have today's day at all, my father asked me to treat you well before he died, but we still haven't avoided swords against each other!" Xiao Mufeng said with a heavy face and pain.

"Don't be coy there, it's disgusting, others can't recognize it, I still recognize it, fall into your hands, hurry up, kill or chop you wherever you want!"

"Put King Shin and the right minister into the heavenly prison and wait for disposal! and this Khitan spy who was put into prison together! Xiao Mufeng's face was solemn.

"Do you really think you've won so easily? Everything must have a backup plan, His Royal Highness the Prince, even if there are 20,000 forbidden troops, you go out and see the situation outside. Murong Qing said with a calm expression.
