"You're Begonia? The former princess Cheng, the current Miss Huo? The man wore a crown of white jade hair and a purple and gold robe, and his temperament was noble, and although he spoke in a low voice, he was very powerful.

She took a few defensive steps back, and looked to both sides.

"You don't have to be so protective of me, I'm not a bad person." The man laughed twice, "Are you looking for Yin Ze?" ”

Begonia frowned, "Who are you?" ”

"The second prince of Dongyuan, Yin Shen."

Haitang's eyes were suffocated, "You are the Second Highness?" ”

Yin Shen bowed, "I am." ”

She opened her mouth and looked him up and down several times, wondering how it was not burly men who could lead troops to fight now, but people who looked white and clean.

Xiahou Xunmu is like this, and so is His Royal Highness Dongyuan......

If it goes on like this, her Yin Ze is too much to handle.

Begonia was shocked by her own thoughts, and her family ...... When did she be so cheeky enough to say such a thing?

"Why is the Second Highness here?" As soon as I finished asking this sentence, Haitang remembered that the second prince borrowed Yin Ze's identity to live in Chengwang's Mansion, he was ordered to guard the border passes, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without the emperor's order. "I have something to do with the old prince."

"They went into the palace this morning."

"Into the palace?" Thinking of what Yixiu said, Huo Starling also went out in a hurry early in the morning, could it be that he also entered the palace? A flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and Begonia's complexion changed again, "Something happened to the emperor?" ”

Yin Shen nodded, his expression unchanged. "Suddenly unconscious this morning."

"But he still ...... the palace banquet of the Chinese New Year's Eve"

"It's just holding on." Yin Shen sneered, "Even if he doesn't die, those people will let him hold on." ”

Begonia doesn't understand, doesn't understand at all.

Knowing the doubts in her heart, Yin Shen explained to her again: "There are not all people in the court who are the five emperors' brothers, and there are also some people who can distinguish between right and wrong. His father and emperor are desperate because he wants to stabilize the court and the country. Now that so many envoys are here, and Xiahou Xunmu is also here, if he can't hold on, then Dongyuan may have to change the sky now. They wanted to let my father die, because they were not fully prepared, and because they thought I was still at the border. If they knew that I was back, my father would have to ...... today. Things in the court, the battle for the dragon chair, are more complicated than you think. ”

Begonia's hands and feet were cold, "So now they won't be ...... for the time being ...... to the emperor"

"Hmm." Yin Shen chuckled, "History changes, this is the norm, you don't need to be nervous." ”

This sentence shocked Haitang's whole body, isn't it his Lao Tzu who is unconscious now? Why is he like an outsider, who doesn't care at all?

Thinking so in her heart, she did ask that.

"He was suspicious by nature, and he was jealous of me when he listened to slander, and drove me to the border. For so many years, I have been defending the country and killing the enemy for him at the border pass, but I have not received any merit, let alone a single concern. Thousands of soldiers and horses were killed and wounded on every battlefield, and although he was a high emperor, in my eyes, his life was not worth the preciousness of every soldier under my command. You should be able to understand when I say that, right? ”

Begonia was stunned and couldn't close her lips. "Your rebellious words...... You're not afraid that I'll turn around and sell you? ”

Yin Shen smiled, "You won't." The second master on Yufeng Mountain, who is righteous and clear, and is Yin Ze's princess, this identity alone is someone I can trust. ”

He said it so firmly, he didn't have any suspicions at all, and this trust made Begonia a little embarrassed.

"When will they come back?"

Yin Shen suddenly showed two points of solemnity, and something seemed to be hiding from her in her heavy eyes.

"It shouldn't stay long, you either wait here for a while, or wait for Yin Ze to come back, and I'll let him go find you."

She shook her head, "No, I'm just...... It's just a New Year's greeting. Since they have entered the palace, they will also go back. ”

Turning and taking a few steps, she turned back again. "Second Highness, what are our chances of winning this game?"

"Fifty percent. After all, my soldiers and horses are all at the border, and the Praetorian Guards in the hands of others are 20,000, plus the people who Xiahou Xunmu is hiding in various places inside and outside the capital, we can be fifty percent sure that it is already okay. ”

She hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke, "If it is...... If they lose, what will happen to them? ”

"What do you want to ask...... Huo Guoxiang? ”

was pierced by someone's heart, but she suddenly didn't want to admit it. "It's nothing, I'll go back."

Hurriedly dropping these words, Haitang quickly left here again, and went back along the way he came, avoiding the eyes and ears of others.

Not long after he went back, he heard that Huo Starling had returned. She asked Yixiu to go to the front to inquire, knowing that after Huo Xing came back, she went to the study, and was about to go over to eavesdrop on the corner of the wall, but she heard that the back window was blown without wind, she was overjoyed, and as soon as she turned around, she was really hugged into Yin Ze's arms.

The heart that Haitang was carrying fell instantly, and the whole person was greedy in his arms.

Yin Ze didn't speak for a long time, let alone move his hands and feet unruly, just hugged her silently. Her newly fallen heart was raised high again, "What's wrong?" ”

He still didn't say a word, but the strength in his hand increased a little, and he tightened her into his arms.

"Yin Ze, what's wrong?"

It was a long time before he finally had a voice. "It's fine."

Begonia broke free of his arms and looked up at him. There was no emotion on his face, but there was clearly something hidden in his eyes. She grabbed Yin Ze's clothes and asked repeatedly: "Obviously there is something!" Is the emperor's illness serious? Or is something wrong with the old princess? Or did something go wrong? ”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Haitang was even more anxious. "You're talking!"

"It's an old thing."

Haitang was stunned, "Old prince? ”

"The emperor's unconscious illness is just a pretense to lure us into the palace. I was afraid that it would be too annoying, so I got an amnesty and was released, while the old thing was left in the palace. ”

Begonia eased the color, "I thought it was ......"

Yin Ze seemed to smile, "Do you think he's dead, or did something happen to me?" He took Begonia into his arms again, "Don't worry, before the big thing happens, none of us will die." ”

He said it lightly, but Begonia heard it heavy.

The situation is probably much more serious than she imagined.

"They already have an old princess in their hands, why do they have to imprison the old princess in the palace?"

"Although the Chengwang Mansion has been suppressed, the old thing is still the person they are most afraid of. Not only because of his identity and authority to speak, but also because the emperor had seen him privately before he was poisoned and gave him something. The fifth prince only found out about this matter last night, and released fake news this morning. They've been planning for so long, and now is the perfect time for them to let their father ruin their big things. After saying this, Yin Ze softened his tone again and patted her on the back gently, "Have you been to King Cheng's Mansion and have you already seen His Royal Highness?" ”

Seeing her nodding, Yin Ze asked again, "What do you think of Your Second Highness?" ”

Haitang looked at him and said word by word: "It will be a Mingjun." ”

Yin Ze smiled, "Then do you know what the emperor gave him?" ”

Her heart was lifted again. "What is it?"

"The emperor gave his father two things, one is a handwritten letter to summon His Royal Highness to return to Beijing. The second is to pass on the throne. ”

Haitang gasped, "Pass the throne, to whom?" ”

Yin Ze pursed his lips and was silent, just looking at her silently. Haitang moved her lips, "Is it Second Highness?" ”

He bowed his head and replied in a deep voice, "Hmm." ”

"Second Highness doesn't know?"

"I don't know."

I heard too many terrible things this day, and Begonia's mind was already in chaos. "Why? Since he gave the old prince a letter before he was poisoned, and His Royal Highness came to the capital early, why didn't the old prince hand over the letter and edict to His Royal Highness? ”

"The letter is sent to the hands of the Second Highness, and the old thing has his own considerations. As for the edict, now is not the time. ”

Haitang shook his head, "His Royal Highness told me that it was the emperor who drove him to the border and ignored him, knowing that the emperor was unconscious, but he was only indifferent...... If he had known that the position was for him, their father and son would not have ......"

Yin Ze clasped her chin and stopped the words from her mouth. "It's not that the emperor doesn't ignore it, but he can't ask."

Begonia didn't understand.

"His Royal Highness has been smart since he was a child, and he learns everything quickly. He is both civil and military, and at a young age, he can figure out how to crack various military formations, and even dared to ask for orders to go to the battlefield at the age of seventeen. He has many abilities, but he has no ambition, but he must be ambitious to become a king. The emperor asked him to go to the border pass, but he ignored it for so many years, first, to let him learn to be ruthless, and second, to let him avoid the battles of the princes. The crown prince was assassinated by the Assassins several times a year from his young age until he rebelled, and the same was true of the five princes. There is only the Second Highness, and no one thinks of him at all......"

Haitang suddenly realized, "The emperor has already chosen the throne!" ”

Yin Ze pinched her face, "The old thing is imprisoned in the palace, they won't worry that I'm outside, and they will definitely keep a strict watch on the Chengwang Mansion." Begonia, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to you often in the future. If they knew that His Royal Highness was in King Cheng's Mansion, it would be unimaginable. ”

She was suffocated, and she didn't care about what he said, so she only heard the words in front of her. "Are you in danger?"

"No, it won't." He dropped a deep kiss on Begonia's forehead, "Take good care of yourself, don't be wronged." ”

Covetousness is only for a moment. Before leaving, Yin Ze specially explained to her: "Don't lose the blood jade you gave you last time, remember?" ”

"Hmm."
