The heavy gates opened slowly.

The imperial city, which had only been separated for two months, seemed to be infected with a long-lost smell, and Chu Chen Lema stood outside the city, looking at the official road in the city with a depressed and serious atmosphere.

It's as quiet as a dead city.

Since Chu Huan's death, the imperial city has been under martial law, and there has been a lot of rumors, whether it is the Xiling courtiers or the ordinary people, almost all of them are closed.

There are only a few people in the middle and lower houses who come out to buy, or the wives of commoners.

Chu Chen frowned, his eyes turned thoughtfully to the defenders by the city gate, and he caught a glimpse of the nervous and uneasy expressions on their faces, and they all lowered their heads......

Da-da-da-da.

In the excessive silence, the sound of horses' hooves from far and near was like thunder, Chu Chen's original decision to ask was dismissed, and he raised his head and watched the four horses galloping towards him.

When his gaze touched the appearance of the four people and what they were wearing, Chu Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and a strong fear and uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart.

The generals in the black uniform were the four most successful under his father's command.

But at this time, they were wrapped in white silk on their heads and clothed in sackcloth......

At that moment, Chu Chen couldn't hold the reins anymore and almost fell off his horse.

"His Royal Highness!"

When the four horses approached, the four of them turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and performed the military etiquette: "Your Highness, you are finally ...... I'm finally back, and I've been waiting for you for three days......"

Chu Chen looked at them and wanted to speak, but his lips trembled, and his voice was hoarse: "What happened?" ”

"Lord Wang...... The prince and the princess...... Both are gone! ”

Bang.

Chu Chen's eyes darkened, his body shook, and he finally couldn't support it and planted it from his horse.

"His Royal Highness!"

The four of them got up and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

Chu Chen's eyes were blurry, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in the cold and biting snow water.

Worried about his father's safety, he hurried non-stop, barely slept well, and was already physically and mentally exhausted after seven or eight days.

At this time, I suddenly received bad news, and I was almost heartbroken.

He couldn't even believe what he was hearing.

"His Royal Highness."

Han Shuo pinched Chu Chen's middle and endured his grief: "His Royal Highness, the last generals are waiting for His Highness to return." ”

Chu Chen opened his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly: "My father is ...... king"

"The prince died of poisoning." The dignified seven-foot man held back his tears, and his tone was full of grief and indignation, "It has something to do with the Queen Mother, the prince was urgently recruited into the palace by the Queen Mother before the accident......"

The other three were also pale and gloomy.

Chu Chen stiffened for a moment, his mind was blank, and when his thoughts slowly became clear, he stood up strongly, his face as pale as paper: "Father...... Where is it? ”

"The Palace." Han Shuo then stood up and explained in a low voice: "The last general was about to send someone to inform His Highness a few days ago, but he received news that His Highness had rushed back from Tanglin...... The last general was worried that His Highness would encounter some accidents on the road when he knew the news, so he asked people to hide it for the time being, and wait for His Highness to come back...... I'll talk about it later. ”

Chu Chen bit his lip stubbornly, turned around and swept towards the Qingjun Palace.

The four people behind him hurriedly got on their horses and followed away in an instant.

The white flags outside the palace of Qingjun are hung high, and the people who come in and out are all dressed in vegetarian clothes, and they are all white, which makes the young man's eyes ache and his heart is like a knife.

"Your Highness!" The palace steward ran out, and the moment he saw Chu Chen, his eyes suddenly turned red, "Your Highness, you can come back!" The prince and the princess ......"
