The remnant sun sets, dusk rises, a few stars are sparse, and the bright moon rises.

Just as Lin Qingzhi turned the corner and walked into the courtyard of the main house where Yeluhong arranged for her to live, a familiar figure flashed in front of her, and the back was so familiar that she couldn't help but think about it and followed the trot, but after turning a few corners of the corridor, the figure just now disappeared as if out of thin air, and was never seen again.

Maybe you're dazzled? Maybe you've been hallucinating after not sleeping for days? Lin Qingzhi shook her head self-deprecatingly, and walked back to the house in a lonely manner, not seeing the sad expression of Yeluhong standing in the distance.

Since returning to the palace with Yeluhong, Lin Qingzhi has locked herself in the house, and on weekdays, she is only dressed up by the maid Xianglan, who arranged for her, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is spent in a daze.

Yeluhong also seemed to have forgotten her, and a month after returning from the palace, Lin Qingzhi never saw him again.

However, Yeluhong seemed to be busy, because he received a very unexpected letter, which was from Xiao Mufeng, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom who was imprisoned in the palace.

Yeluhong couldn't help laughing, it turned out that Xiao Mufeng, who was high up, also asked him one day, but he still went to see him secretly, because he was curious about what Xiao Mufeng would say to him and what to trade with him.

Unexpectedly, when Xiao Mufeng saw him, he only asked, "I am willing to help the eldest prince eradicate dissidents and ascend to the Khitan throne, I wonder if the eldest prince is willing to believe me?" ”

Yeluhong thought for a moment and said, "Why do you want to help me?" ”

Xiao Mufeng said: "Because only in this way can I have the opportunity to return to the Jin Kingdom." ”

Yeluhong sneered: "Then what if I regret it afterwards?" ”

Xiao Mufeng always said lightly: "Then I can't help it, after all, if you don't do it, you can only stay here, and if you do it, there will be at least a chance of life, right?" ”

"Does she know your plans?"

"I don't know."

"So you decided to abandon her?"

"It's hard to have both worlds, and everyone has to learn to make trade-offs." Xiao Mufeng said with a wry smile.

"It's a good one to learn to make trade-offs, the world knows that kings are ruthless, and sure enough, you can't escape the fate of being blinded by power. You have chosen to abandon her and return to the south to sit on your dragon throne and enjoy the glory of being admired by all people. Since you are going to give up on her, then you don't deserve her love anymore. ”

"Are you worthy? You and your master have been used everywhere since she was a child, and now that you have made her your princess, do you dare to say that you have no intention of using her, using her to tarnish the reputation of the mother of the southern kingdom, and using her to enhance your own prestige. Xiao Mufeng's voice was as cold as ice.

"Enough! In any case, now that she is my princess and my wife, I will treat her well. ”

"Treat her well? Have you ever thought that this is what she wants, now the people of the Jin Kingdom think that she is greedy for life and afraid of death, watery Yanghua, and insulted the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, and she can't go back to the mother country that she is most concerned about, but in Khitan, isn't it still a group of people who don't look down on her and only think about jokes? What else does she have? It's all because of you, and now she's safe with you because I'm here, and if I'm gone, will she be alive and well? So, let her go, she has always liked landscapes and freedom, maybe letting her go is the best fulfillment. Xiao Mufeng's voice was shallow, like spring water, flowing in Yeluhong's ears.

"I won't let her go, I've done so much, in addition to that throne, there is another very important thing, that is, I want to get her, how can I let go easily now that I have it." Yeluhong looked at the hazy moonlight and said calmly.

"But she doesn't love you." Xiao Mufeng said lightly.

"She will love me one day, just like my mother, she didn't love my father at first, but in the end she was not in love, and even swallowed everything in order to fulfill him, and would rather die than interfere with his throne." Yeluhong looked a little flustered, and said as if he was desperately trying to convince himself.

"She doesn't want to be a caged bird, the palace is not where she wants, not all the time." Xiao Mufeng sighed and said lightly.

"Sometimes I envy you, no, I am jealous of you, you have a good brother, even if you are in an enemy country, you still do not take away your throne, but only support your young children to ascend to the throne of God, and are willing to retire from the position of a courtier. Why do you have a good brother who helps you in everything, and a friend like Lin Qingji helps you, and Ah Zhi, she loves you so much, she is willing to give up everything for you, and she would rather go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire without hesitation, so sometimes I hate it. ”

Yeluhong's eyes were blood-red, and his expression was sad and intense.

Xiao Mufeng raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky that was obscured by dark clouds for a long time, and stood silently all night.

Five days later, the Jin Emperor Xiao Mufeng lived in the Yuming Palace, there were a large number of southern martial arts masters, in order to rescue the Jin Emperor, the shot was ruthless, injured more than 50 master guards in the palace, if it were not for the eldest prince Yeluhong led the army to calm the situation, I am afraid that the Jin Emperor would be rescued in the heavily guarded Khitan palace, the king Yelu Deguang was furious, and strictly interrogated and captured the master who came to the rescue, and finally the two leaders could not stand the torture and recruited out, it turned out that Xiao Mulin, the king of Jin Guo, secretly colluded with the second prince Yelujing, and promised that if the Jin Emperor Xiao Mufeng was rescued, the Jin State would support Yelujing to ascend the Khitan throne and become the next Khitan king.

Hearing the confession, the Khitan king Yelu Deguang was furious, and summoned the second prince Yelu Jing into the palace overnight to confront him, although Ye Lu Jing denied it, but all the evidence showed that Ye Lu Jing did collude with the Jin State, and Ye Lu Deguang also summoned the Jin Emperor Xiao Mufeng, but Xiao Mufeng looked at Ye Lu Jing with emotion and guilt, although he did not admit that it was Ye Lu Jing who did it, but according to the palace people who guarded the Yuming Hall of the Jin Emperor, a few days ago I did see Ye Lu Jing entering and leaving the Yuming Hall in the dark.

It's just that these palace people don't know that what they see is just someone doing it on purpose, because it is Yeluhong's fake, not only dressing according to Yelujing's usual preferences, but even the voice is deliberately imitating Yelujing, these are not difficult for Yeluhong, after all, he has lived in the south for so many years, and the most important thing in the south is strange people with various skills, and with Yeluhong's wisdom and wisdom, these skills are nothing.

Therefore, under the wrath of Yelu Deguang, Yelujing was ordered to hand over the prince's seal and was not allowed to participate in the court.

However, Yeluhong was deeply praised by the emperor, rewarded countless gold, silver and wealth, and was even more loved by the emperor.

Limei and Yelujing didn't expect that they had been in the south since they were children, and they thought that they were just supported by the power of the Jade Concubine, but they didn't expect that this prince who was not too old would be so clever and ruthless, and he could unite with himself to frame Emperor Jin, who should have hated him, to stab him, and he was also injured in the most important place, making it difficult for them to turn over.

Since Emperor Jin was almost rescued, Yelu Deguang, the Khitan king, handed over all the duties of caretaker to the eldest prince Yeluhong, and after more than a month of blood exchange in the court, he is basically already supporting the voice of the eldest prince.

Originally, Yeluhong relied on the power and protection of the Jade Concubine, and now he has the trust of the king, and the natural forces cannot be compared with the past.

However, two months later, Emperor Jin mysteriously disappeared from this heavily guarded palace, and the Khitan King suddenly realized, and finally realized that everything was Yeluhong's trick, and framed Yelujing that day to regain the military power in the palace, and then secretly rescued Emperor Jin.

However, there are some things that are too late to regret.
