Volume 5: Fire Phoenix Chapter 392 Victory and Defeat are Indistinguishable 1 For the diamond over 4200 plus more
Two years old, one dead, the other half dead. For a while, no one reacted, but fortunately, Mu Chengfeng touched the dead Nian Shizhong's face, and tore off a leather surface at that time.
That's right, it's Twilight.
At first, everyone thought that it was Twilight Cloud who was missing, but Nian Shizhong announced that Twilight Cloud was missing.
So in the current situation, it seems that it is Nian Shizhong who is missing, because he has long been locked in a water prison by Twilight. And the one who has been in charge of the General's Mansion and is in cahoots with the crown prince Xiao Dongming should be Duyun Qiren.
Mu Chengfeng and Shangguan Feng took both of them back to the palace, just waiting for the real Nian Shi to wake up and tell the truth at that time.
Nian Shizhong seemed to be badly injured, and his naked body was full of whip marks. And on his wrists and ankles, there are traces of being pricked by silver needles, which shows that he has been locked here, and it is not a day or two.
The water that soaked him was reddish with blood.
Presumably, he was tormented by Twilight.
As for why Twilight didn't kill Nian Shizhong, this is puzzling. If it is to replace, then killing people is undoubtedly the best means. But why did Twilight, who had replaced the old man, still have the life of the old man?
So, it's really puzzling.
All the mysteries can only be concluded when the years wake up again.
"Your Majesty?" Shangguan Feng stepped forward, "The Prince's Mansion has been raided, and the Prince's Mansion and the Emperor's eldest grandson have also been imprisoned, and now they are waiting for the emperor's decision." β
Xiao Sheng leaned on the chaise longue, and Yu Guifei, who knelt outside the door, was crying silently, pleading.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is still outside, look-" Liu Zhong bowed.
"The imperial study room is not allowed to make noise, let her take off her concubine clothes and go to the cold palace to stay!" Xiao Sheng waved his hand weakly, "You go down too!" β
Liu Zhong was stunned, but in the end he bowed and retreated.
Shangguan Feng swept Liu Zhong's back with the corner of his eye, and when he saw Liu Zhong going out, he said, "What else does the emperor command?" β
Xiao Sheng narrowed his eyes, "Sit." β
Hearing this, Shangguan Feng hesitated for a moment, "Weichen doesn't dare." β
"I asked you to sit, and you sat down, not for the first time." Xiao Sheng sighed lightly, closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them.
Shangguan Feng sat on the edge of the chaise longue, half-hanging his head.
Shangguan Feng when he was young grew like a jade tree in the wind. Imagine that Shangguan Jingyu is still beautiful, not only inherited from his mother's appearance, but also most of it comes from his father's inheritance.
Shangguan Feng was a leader back then. In the entire Eastern Capital, he can be regarded as a beautiful man second to none. How many women were eager to marry him back then, but they couldn't.
Even now, Shangguan Feng still looks very good compared to his peers.
It's a pity that I have been busy with government politics over the years, and my temples have gradually grown blooming, and the years are not forgiving in the end.
"The emperor was unwell, so Weichen retired first." Shangguan Feng bowed his head.
Xiao Sheng put his hand on the back of Shangguan Feng's hand, "After so many years, the people around me have changed batch after batch, but you, I have never been reluctant." Alasβit's a pity that the years are unforgiving, and you have gray hair as you get old. You said that when the time comes, how will you deal with yourself? β
"I turn a blind eye to all of your things, but the people below may not be like this. After all, paper can't contain the fire, and when that day comes, how can you make me feel at ease under the nine springs? β
Shangguan Feng got up and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, when these things are over, Weichen just wants to return to his hometown and retire." Weichen is also old, and he can no longer stand the turmoil of the imperial court. All these years of glory and wealth have been given by the emperor, and now it is time to let go. β
Xiao Sheng nodded, "It's all old." Find out about the matter of the emperor's eldest grandson, if the royal blood is confused, you should know what to do, right? β
"Wechen understands." Shangguan Feng bowed and exited the imperial study.
Liu Zhong entered the door with the medicine, "Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine." β
Xiao Sheng leaned on the soft cushion and glanced at Liu Zhong lazily with his eyes open, "Liu Zhong, how long have you been in the palace?" β
"The slave entered the palace at the age of eight and has been serving in the palace." Liu Zhong was respectful.
"Eight years old, that's decades old." Xiao Sheng sighed lightly, and his tone was low, "You must know all the rules in this palace, so I won't say more." Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not been in charge of the two masters, what do you say you - what should I do? β
Liu Zhong is not a fool, when the emperor said this, he quickly knelt on the ground, "The slave is frightened, and the emperor is gracious." β
"I'm just saying, what are you so afraid of? Get up, just put the medicine there. I'll drink it later, you go get some candied fruit, I feel bitter in my mouth, a little bloody, and I want to go. Xiao Sheng said weakly, "Go ahead!" β
These words teach people to scratch their heads.
Even Liu Zhong also expressed his incomprehension at the emperor's capriciousness.
But since it was the emperor's order, Liu Zhong could only salute and go out. As soon as he walked to the corner, a group of people suddenly rushed up and directly put the sack on Liu Zhong's head. The sharp short blade cut directly through the throat, and the blood poured out.
Liu Zhong didn't have time to struggle, he was already killed on the spot.
Mu Chengfeng walked into the imperial study from the outside, and saluted respectfully, "See the emperor for your humble position." β
Xiao Sheng closed his eyes, "How?" β
"It's clean." Mu Chengfeng glanced at the medicine on the case and slowly lowered his eyebrows.
Xiao Sheng sighed lightly and flicked his sleeves, "Such a dirty thing, I feel disgusting, and the corpse is broken into thousands of pieces." β
Mu Chengfeng took a deep breath, "Yes." β
After that, he turned around and went out.
"Ride the wind." Xiao Sheng shouted again.
Mu Chengfeng paused.
Xiao Sheng said, "Do you want to leave?" β
Mu Chengfeng did not speak.
"Stay for another year, and I'll give you the antidote." Xiao Sheng opened his eyes to look at him.
Mu Chengfeng didn't look back, strode out of the door, and didn't respond at all.
Xiao Sheng pulled through the soft and closed his eyes to rest in peace.
A public trial, and now the winner has been decided?
Xiao Dongli returned to the Three Princes' Mansion, and a group of people followed, including Hairun, Shangguan Zhiyuan, Xiao Yue, Su Yan and Zhu'er. Along the way, he didn't speak, everyone arrived, but Shangguan Jingyu didn't come back.
A celebration banquet, who will you talk to when the time comes?
But the moment you enter the door, the main hall is full of fragrant food, and there are no delicious delicacies on the table, but the most ordinary home-cooked food.
"Who prepared this?" Hairun was stunned for a moment, and at a glance he saw the good wine on the table, "This wine - good wine!" β
Shangguan Zhiyuan sniffed, "It seems that the taste is somewhat familiar." With his eyebrows slightly condensed, he glanced at Xiao Yue, "Why is it so similar to the wine in my family's wine cellar?" β
Xiao Yue shook his head, "No, this is the Three Kings' Mansion." Even if your father wants to congratulate his brother on his death, he won't just send a jar of wine. If your father comes, won't he have to make a big fuss? β
"But this taste is clearly the taste of my father's treasured good wine at the annual family banquet." Shangguan Zhiyuan sniffed again, "There will definitely be no mistake." β
Hairun suddenly smiled, but he also smiled without saying a word.
"Master, what are you laughing at?" Shangguan Zhiyuan asked.
There were footsteps, "Your master laughs at you for being a dog's nose, but your brain can't turn around." β
