Concubine Xie looked at her with a headache, and said helplessly: "This matter is so delicate, what are you going to do?" ”

Yu Ruyan said in a firm tone: "Just now, I personally rejected Prince Yi's request in front of His Majesty, so the dust has settled on this matter, and there is nothing to say." ”

Looking at her stubborn appearance, Concubine Xie couldn't help but sneer: "If Your Majesty wants to completely end the grievances with Prince Yi, as long as he agrees not to covet the throne anymore and no longer think about seeking revenge against Your Majesty, do you think Your Majesty will care about your opinion and you don't agree?!" ”

In fact, Concubine Xie also has selfish intentions in her heart, as long as Prince Yi does not fight with Xiaodao for the prince, what if Prince Yi takes away a jade Ruyan, compared with Wanlijiang, a woman is not worth mentioning at all.

Moreover, Concubine Xie didn't want to let Mu Lingzhi fall out with King Liang because of this matter, so it was better to persuade Yu Ruyan to take the initiative to agree to go with Prince Yi, only in this way could the problem of her two sons be solved at once.

Without waiting for Yu Ruyan to speak, Concubine Xie looked at her fixedly, and said in a deep tone: "No matter what your plans are, this palace only hopes that you will understand the general situation, come out of the overall situation, and be able to stand in Ling Zhi's position for his sake."

"Moreover, you keep saying that the prince is your younger brother, and there is such a big thing in this sacrifice, if you let Yitai come out and make a fuss again, the prince's position will be even more unstable, so if you really think of him as a younger brother, at this time, do you want to do something for him!"

Concubine Xie Guifei's narrow and sharp phoenix eyes glanced at Yu Ruyan obliquely, took a sip of fragrant tea, and quietly waited for Yu Ruyan's reply.

After listening to Concubine Xie's words, Yu Ruyan's expression was as usual, but her eyes sank!

As smart as her, how could she not understand the meaning of Concubine Xie's words-

Didn't she take the initiative to agree to go with Prince Yi. In this way, sacrificing her not only stabilizes the status of the crown prince, but also avoids Mu Lingzhi from falling out with King Liang, Xie Guifei loves her son, she will think like this, Yu Ruyan is not surprised!

But the concubine didn't think about it, even if she agreed, would Mu Lingzhi agree? And Yu Ruyan no longer wants to be trapped in the general situation, and does senseless self-sacrifice from the overall situation, which was the case with the previous relatives, but later, what did her father do to her, it was not the same cold-blooded and ruthless to her.

With a cold smile in her heart, Yu Ruyan's voice said resolutely: "What the noble concubine said is wrong, this princess is the princess of Heshuo who was personally appointed by her father, and she is also the princess who is promised to be married to the third highness, and the national certificate of marriage between the two countries is clearly written." Therefore, this princess has two identities, not only the third princess of Daliang, but also the princess of Daqi. ”

"If Your Majesty were to be the third princess, there would be no reason for me to go with other men; If I am the princess of Daqi, then the matter of your Daliang will not be involved in this princess, and this princess has the right to be the master for herself and not to go with him! ”

Yu Ruyan's words were so loud that Concubine Xie was speechless to refute them, and she couldn't reply.

Of course, Concubine Xie also understood the truth she said, but in her heart, no matter how big the reason was, it couldn't compare to the well-being of her two sons and the crown prince of Xiaodao, so she was annoyed that Yu Ruyan didn't know the general situation, and she was also annoyed that she was so merciless against herself, and she was so angry that she slammed the teacup on the table, and when she was about to be angry, a person walked into the hall and said happily: "Sister is right, this is my sister's own business, no one can make decisions for you, as long as you don't agree, no one dares to force you to do anything!" ”

Xiaodao hurriedly walked in, just now he heard that Yu Ruyan was called into Yaohua Palace by his mother, with his understanding of his mother, he knew that his mother would definitely persuade Yu Ruyan to agree to go with Prince Yi for his crown prince.

Just thinking that Yu Ruyan was taken away as a tool for the Wing Prince to settle the enmity between Prince Yi and his father, Xiao Dao was already unbearable, and now he had to make Yu Ruyan sacrifice in order to protect his crown prince, Xiao Dao would not agree.

Xiaodao walked to Yu Ruyan's side and stopped, stood side by side with her in front of Concubine Xie, and said in a firm tone: "Mother, if my crown prince needs to be obtained by sacrificing my sister, I would rather not." If you insist on letting her go with Prince Yi, then please forgive your son's unfilial piety, and your son will leave with her sister! ”

"Bang", there was a loud bang, and when she heard the words of the knife, Concubine Xie couldn't hold back the anger in her heart anymore, and with a wave of her wide sleeves, she brushed the teacup on the table to the ground, the cup shattered, and the tea was spilled on the ground.

The palace people in the first hall were so frightened by the concubine's anger that they hurriedly knelt down and shouted, 'Guifei is angry', but Xiaodao stood there stubbornly and refused to bow his head.

Concubine Xie laughed angrily, trembling with anger, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, now that you have grown up one by one, your wings have hardened, and you all come to threaten the palace...... Over the years, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't worry about you two brothers, why would I have to endure the poison once a month, why would I have to suffer such inhuman torture...... I've already reached Bliss with a white silk......"

Xie Guifei was trembling with anger, and Aunt Qin beside her hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Niangniang to calm her anger, and then turned her head to Xiaodao and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, these two days have come to the day of Niangniang's poison again, the imperial doctor specially told Niangniang to calm down and recuperate and not get angry, Your Highness must not make Niangniang sad again, let alone say such things that hurt Niangniang's heart." ”

Xiaodao was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of shame flashed on his face, but he stubbornly refused to admit his mistake to the concubine.

He glanced back at Yu Ruyan, took her hand and walked out, and said, "Sister, I'll send you back to rest!" ”

Yu Ruyan didn't want to stay in the palace anymore, everyone and everything here, even these majestic and gorgeous palaces made her feel depressed.

Watching Yu Ruyan leave with the knife, Concubine Xie stopped talking in the back, afraid that she would escape quietly because of Prince Yi's affairs, and wanted to put her under house arrest in the palace, but as soon as she saw the knife protecting her like that, if she saw that she was going to put her under house arrest, she was afraid that she would be anxious with her again.

She quietly asked Aunt Qin to send people to guard around the palace, and also asked people to bring a message to An Lirong, so that they all carefully monitored Yu Ruyan's every move, and once she showed signs of escape, they would immediately arrest her.

Because, if she leaves, the conditions proposed by Prince Yi to King Liang will not be met, and Prince Yi is holding the Dragon Xiao Sword of the first emperor in his hand, and it is easy to take the crown prince of Xiaodao.

Therefore, no matter what, Concubine Xie Guifei had to help King Liang and Prince Yi make a deal, and when Prince Yi woke up, let him take Yu Ruyan away, so as to completely end the matter.

As soon as Yu Ruyan and Xiaodao stepped out of the gate of Yaohua Palace, they saw Xiao Fushou, the eunuch beside Xiaodao, kneeling over anxiously. ”

Xiao Fushou shrunk his neck and said with a bitter face: "Back to Your Highness, on the contrary, the prince has not woken up, and listening to the imperial doctor, the situation seems to be ...... It doesn't seem to be very good......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Dao's expression had changed greatly, and he turned back to Yu Ruyan and said, "Sister, I won't send you back, I'm going to Chaoyang Palace to take a look at Brother Yi's situation!" ”

Hearing Xiao Fushou say that Prince Yi is not very good, Yu Ruyan's heart is also tight, although in her heart, she is very unhappy about him asking King Liang for herself today, but when she thinks that if he didn't sacrifice his life to save himself today, he would have already returned to Huangquan at this time, and he is now critically ill, which is also caused by saving himself from injury, no matter what, he can't just leave.

Thinking of this, she called out the knife and said, "I'll go with you to have a look!" ”

In Chaoyang Palace, Mu Lingzhi strictly ordered everyone in the Tai Hospital to make every effort to rescue the dying Prince Yi, and he also sent copper coins out of the palace to pick up Dr. Wu into the palace.

Mu Yizhi's face was gray and he was stunned, his breath was like nothing, blood couldn't stop overflowing from his mouth, and the whole person was lying on the bed, like a lifeless puppet, if it wasn't for a few violent coughs from time to time, it would make people think that there was a dead person lying on the bed. Even King Liang saw him like this, and he had a few unbearable hearts.

Mu Lingzhi was already sad and sad when he saw Prince Wing's current appearance, but now when he saw that the Imperial Doctor kept shaking his head, he was even more anxious, and asked in a trembling voice: "How is Prince Wing?" Is there a way to wake him up? ”

The court judged the people: "Your Majesty, let's help His Highness stop the bleeding first!" ”

After that, the court judge made the face solemn and let the prince take off the clothes on the winged prince, and tried to seal the acupuncture points on his chest with silver needles to stop the bleeding.

But when Mu Yiyi's clothes were taken off, everyone in the room couldn't help but gasp-

I saw that his entire back was full of crimson scars left by burns, and he couldn't find a piece of intact skin on his entire back, and although there was no scar left by burns on his chest, there was a deep sword scar on his chest, although the sword scar was only a red one, but it was shocking in the eyes of everyone.

Mu Lingzhi's whole body froze, and his expression swelled with sadness.

Don't think about it, this sword wound was left by the wound I stabbed him ten years ago.

And Prince Mu Yi's body is so vulnerable now, it is also because of this sword.

I think that at the beginning, Prince Yi was young, healthy and healthy, and full of vigor and spirit, and he would be dying like now.

The judge carefully pierced a silver needle around his chest to temporarily seal the bleeding, but the person remained unconscious.

Wiping the cold sweat on his head, the court judge let out a long sigh and told King Liang and Mu Ling the way.

"Prince Wing almost died because of the sword ten years ago, although he was lucky to leave a life, but his body is already weak, if he rests well, he can still leave a life to live, but Prince Wing has been worried and depressed for the past ten years, and his body is even more broken......

"Today, in order to save people, I was hit by the collapsed wooden pillar, and I was even more injured in my internal organs, and my life was on the verge of death!" After that, the judge couldn't help but sigh a few times, looking very sorry.

Listening to the words of the court judgment, King Liang's face was heavy, and Mu Lingzhi was even more deeply shocked, he anxiously asked the court judge: "The adult doctor is very skilled, is there a way to make him wake up?" Is there a cure for his old physical ailments? ”

The court judge said helplessly: "The bleeding has stopped, but whether he wakes up or not depends on his own creation, if he can wake up tonight, there is still a rescue, or he has not woken up, I am afraid that it will ......."

"Decades have passed since the old disease in Prince Yi's body, it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, there is no cure for it, and there is no medicine to remove its roots! Your Highness, please forgive your incompetence! ”

The helpless words of the court judge made Mu Lingzhi's heart sink into the ice cave, and it was cold.

After seeing the consultation, the doctors all retreated.

Mu Lingzhi had been standing at the head of the bed in a daze, staring blankly at the person with weak breath on the bed, and the guilt in his heart turned over and over wave after wave-

If it weren't for the sword he had been ten years ago, he wouldn't be what he is now;

If it hadn't happened today, he wouldn't have been injured and unconscious.

His hands trembled and clenched, seeing that the palace people stepped forward to help Prince Yi put on his clothes again, Mu Lingzhi involuntarily stepped forward, waved away the palace people, and stepped forward to help Mu Yizhi put on his coat with his own hands.

Looking at the shocking scars on the body of the person on the bed up close, and then looking at his pale and bloodless face and closed eyes, Mu Lingzhi's tears could no longer hold back, and a drop fell on his body on the bed, on those scars with hatred and pain......

Looking at Mu Yizhi's description on the bed, King Liang's mood was also heavy, he rubbed his forehead tiredly, and said softly: "You take good care of him, I will go back to the palace first." ”

"Father, do you regret it?"

Mu Lingzhi's abrupt voice sounded faintly behind King Liang, he helped Mu Yizhi tidy up his clothes, looked back at King Liang who was sluggish, resentment welled up in his heart, and couldn't help but approach King Liang, looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "Father, looking at all this now, have you ever regretted it?!" ”

King Liang's heart was shocked, but his face remained calm, and he said coldly: "I never regret becoming a king or defeating a king!" ”

"Father, over the years, Erchen has not been able to understand one thing, ten years ago, you obviously had such a harmonious relationship with the former emperor, brothers, friends and brothers, why did you suddenly ......"

"Shut up!" Before Mu Lingzhi could speak, King Liang had already stopped him with a loud drink, his eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Bold rebel, are you questioning your father now?" How much do you know about the events of those days? I am also the prince of my father's emperor, who stipulates that my brother must be allowed to sit in this world, I can't! ”

"Today, I don't care about you because you are a first-time offender, but next time I hear such wild words, don't blame me for ignoring the relationship between father and son!"

After King Liang shook off this sentence, he walked away without looking back, and just walked to the door, just happened to meet the knife and Yu Ruyan who came over, but King Liang was in a depressed mood, and he didn't stop for a moment, so he hurried away from the two of them.

Yu Ruyan and the knife entered the hall, Mu Lingzhi suddenly saw them come in, his expression was stunned, put away the low sadness in his heart, stepped forward to take Yu Ruyan's hand, and said with concern: "Why don't you go back to the house to rest here?" ”

Yu Ruyan listened to his thick nasal voice and moist eyelashes, and then looked at the unconscious Prince Yi on the bed, and her mood was equally sad, "Your Highness...... After all, he was injured because he saved me, and I deserved to come and see it. Your Highness, don't be too sad, Prince Wing ...... It's going to get better. ”

Mu Lingzhi was physically and mentally exhausted, and couldn't help but take Yu Ruyan into his arms, and said sadly: "Yan Yan, don't blame him, he ...... But a poor man! ”

Yu Ruyan knew that Mu Lingzhi had always had the greatest guilt towards Prince Yi, they had the best friendship since childhood, but she didn't expect that when she grew up, she had to turn against each other, and the closest brother became the enemy of life and death.

Now hearing him apologize to himself for Prince Yi, Yu Ruyan was also sad in her heart, she knew that since she was involved in the entanglement between their brothers for no reason, it was difficult to get out again.

She said to Mu Ling in a gentle tone: "Your Highness, rest assured, I can also understand the suffering of Prince Yi." I don't know why he wanted to take me away, but since I have rejected him, I will no longer blame him, not to mention that he gave his life to save me today, as I said before, the grievances between me and him have been settled, so I will not blame him anymore. ”

Listening to her words, Mu Lingzhi was very moved and thanked her for her thoughtful understanding.

Because he was not worried about Mu Lingzhi, Yu Ruyan no longer had the intention of going back to the house to rest, and took the initiative to stay in Chaoyang Palace to accompany him.

At sunset, Mu Yizhi never woke up, and Mu Lingzhi didn't dare to leave his room for a single step, seeing that Yu Ruyan looked tired, he led her to the side hall to rest.

Yu Ruyan wanted to stay with her, but in order not to worry him, she obediently listened to him and went to the side hall.

As soon as she left, the copper coin led Dr. Wu into the palace and came to Chaoyang Palace, followed by a person who looked like a small maid, Mu Lingzhi thought it was Dr. Wu's new apprentice, but he didn't expect that as soon as the person who looked like a little guy entered the room and saw Mu Lingzhi on the bed, his face was already pale, and he couldn't care about the other people in the room, so he threw himself to Mu Yizhi's side and cried: "Master, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare the minions! ”

Mu Lingzhi couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and the doctor Wu on the side explained to him softly: "Your Highness, when the copper coin led me into the palace, I was stopped by this little guy at the gate of the palace, he didn't know where he heard that I was ordered by His Royal Highness to enter the palace to see Prince Yi, and he desperately stopped the carriage, saying that he was a servant serving by Prince Yi's side, and also said that he had medicine to save Prince Yi, please take him into the palace together." The old slave saw that he didn't look like a lie, and he also said word for word when the copper coin asked him about Prince Yi, thinking that maybe he was really the person next to Prince Yi, and maybe there was medicine to cure him. So he brought him in, and asked His Highness for forgiveness! ”

When Mu Lingyi heard that he had medicine to save Mu Yizhi, he was overjoyed, and he didn't care about anything else, he rushed to the little guy and said excitedly: "Do you really have medicine to save him?" ”

The little servant had already cried into tears, trembling and carefully took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and said: "The master's medicine has been collected by the slave, and the master is ...... If you don't take medicine, you won't be able to get through tonight. ”

Mu Lingzhi took the medicine bottle from his hand and handed it to Doctor Wu, and ordered, "You check it!" ”

Doctor Wu leaned into the lamplight, carefully poured out a small light red pill, looked at it carefully, put it between his nose and smelled it, and still felt at ease pinched a small piece and put it in his mouth to try, it was indeed non-toxic and was a medicine for treating injuries before returning it to Mu Lingzhi.

Mu Lingzhi was relieved, personally fed the pill to Mu Yizhi to eat, and still asked the little guy uneasily: "Can this medicine really save his life?" ”

The little guy just looked at Mu Yizhi's expression intently, wiped his tears and nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, as long as the master takes this medicine, he will wake up in two hours, Your Highness can rest assured, it's good that the slaves will guard here." ”

Hearing his words, Mu Lingzhi's hanging heart let go of half a minute, and he ordered the copper coin to guard it with him, while he himself went to the side hall to see Yu Ruyan.

Yu Ruyan recognized the bed, and he was worried that she would not be able to sleep well.

In the side hall, Yu Ruyan fell asleep on the bed, Mu Lingzhi quietly walked over, looked at her in the sleeping face, couldn't help but kiss her lightly on the forehead, and suddenly her neck was hanged, and Yu Ruyan, who was obviously asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, and pulled one of the stunned Mu Ling down on the bed.

"You ......" Mu Lingzhi was caught off guard and pulled into the quilt by her, looking at her hand firmly wrapped around her neck with a smile, describing not letting him go, and laughing: "It's been a long time since I've seen you take the initiative so much, and today is really rare." ”

Yu Ruyan was not shy at all, but said with a serious face: "I heard what Brother An said just now, that Wing Prince's entourage sent life-saving medicine, so His Highness doesn't have to worry anymore." Didn't it mean that he still had two hours to wake up after taking the medicine? Your Highness, rest for two hours! ”

After letting go of the worry about Mu Yizhi in his heart, the tense string in Mu Lingzhi's mind finally relaxed for a moment, and suddenly he felt sleepy, and couldn't help but hug Yu Ruyan tightly in his arms and murmured: "Lady, Rong Weifu went to bed today without bathing and washing, don't dislike me, let me sleep first, and then call me ...... in two hours."

Before the words fell, Mu Lingzhi fell asleep extremely tired, Yu Ruyan looked at his tired face, her heart was very pity, she couldn't help but kiss his face, and said softly: "I won't dislike you, no matter what you become, I won't dislike you!" ”

Yu Ruyan recognized the bed, but as long as Mu Lingzhi was by her side, she was very relieved, and she fell asleep in his arms after a while.

But in the room on the other side, Mu Yizhi woke up before two hours after taking the medicine, and the little guy who was guarding him next to the bed saw him wake up and said happily: "Your Highness has finally woken up!" ”

Although Mu Yizhi's face was pale, his spirit was much better than before, he sat up with difficulty, looked at the unfamiliar environment around him and the little guy who was born, his heart was at a loss, he felt like he had a strange dream, and it took a while to recall that after hearing Yu Ruyan's words of refusal, he fell into a coma in despair and despair, and it seemed that he stayed in the palace to recuperate.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly touched his face in a panic, and only when there was nothing unusual before he sighed secretly.

Looking at the little guy in front of him, he understood something in his heart, and said quietly: "I'm fine, you can accompany me out of the palace and go home." ”

As soon as the little guy heard his words, he helped him get up and go out without saying a word, and the copper coin who was guarding his bedside was about to happily tell Mu Lingzhi the good news that he woke up, it can be seen that he was in a hurry to leave, and he couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, you just woke up, it's better to lie down for a while, and the slave will go to inform the Third Highness and let him come to see you." ”

Mu Yizhi sat up and looked at the surrounding environment, and asked suspiciously: "This is Chaoyang Palace?" ”

Tong Qian hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Highness, it is the Chaoyang Palace where the Third Highness once lived, after His Highness fell into a coma, he was brought here for treatment, and asked His Highness to have a good rest, and the slave went to invite the Third Highness to come over." ”

"No need, you tell him, I'm leaving!"

Mu Yizhi didn't have the slightest nostalgia, and motioned to the little guy next to him to help him get up and walk out.

When Mu Lingzhi was woken up and rushed to the front hall, there was a light at the gate of the palace, and Prince Yi insisted on going out with the support of the little guy, and the guards guarding the outside did not dare to let him go without the permission of King Liang.

Looking at Yu Ruyan who came with Mu Lingzhi, Prince Yi's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help coughing violently, looking at his coughing, a bright light suddenly flashed in Yu Ruyan's mind......
