The sky was slightly bright, and the dragons, who had slept all night, began to wake up.

Amid the sound of Dada's horses' hooves, a procession set off from the post house and headed for the city gate.

In the procession, the luxurious and low-key carriage was displayed in it, as if it had come, full of a sense of tranquility.

Situ Lie was sitting in the carriage, dressed in a black python robe flamboyant and luxurious, his handsome cheeks had no expression, only a pair of eyes that didn't know where to look, and he was slightly distracted.

The walking carriage stopped suddenly, perhaps too quickly, and the body swayed a little.

"Master, it's the fifth prince!" The sound of the remnant wind came through the window.

Situ Lie seemed to have expected it, and as soon as his eyes flashed, the curtain of the car was opened by the attendants on the side.

I saw Ling Yi sitting on a tall horse, followed by a few guards, cold and solemn.

"Lord Lie, this palace is ordered by the emperor to come here to give the prince a ride." After speaking, Ling Yi's eyes had a hint of pride that he hadn't seen before.

Originally, Ling Yan was responsible for receiving the envoys, but now that Ling Yan was punished, Ling Yi was reused, and he took over all the matters of Ling Yan.

Looking at Ling Yi's smug appearance, Situ Lie's eyes were a little more disdainful, "There is the fifth prince of Lao, please tell your father and thank him for his hospitality." ”

"That's natural, Lord Lie came to make friends with my royal brother quickly, but this time the royal brother had something to do, so I had to let my brother see him off temporarily, and I asked Lord Lie not to blame."

Situ Lie listened, his eyes lit up, "The five princes are brilliant and intelligent, and they are deeply favored by the emperor, and it is inevitable that they will be reused." ”

Ling Yi listened, the smile on his face deepened, and he felt that Situ Lie was a very knowledgeable person, "With Lord Lie's words, Yi naturally works harder, please take care of Lord Lie all the way"

Situ Lie nodded as a sign of politeness, and the curtain was lowered.

Seeing that the envoy's car had already left Longdu, Ling Yi stepped on his horse and galloped away.

The Xiao Mansion was brightly lit overnight.

When the first rays of sunlight shone out of the sky, a man rushed in outside the door.

"My lord, Lord Lie and Prince Yu have all left the Dragon Capital."

Hearing the guard's report, Xiao Chong finally stood up from the stool, and looked at the three sons standing on the side with blazing eyes, "Today, our Xiao family will help Yan'er win the world of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!" ”

The voice was impassioned and uplifting, and the sons on one side were already ready to go.

Half of the world in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was taken down by the Xiao family, and in their opinion, this time it was just to get back their own things, not only to help Ling Yan sit in the position of emperor, but also to stabilize the Xiao family's century-old foundation.

Ling Yan looked at several uncles, and the yearning for the imperial throne in his heart had reached the extreme, instead of living carefully, why not let himself become the one who held the power of life and death.

At this time, Ling Yan had long lost any father-son affection in his heart, and even family affection was worthless in his eyes.

Seeing that there were soldiers and horses moving in the city, he knew that there must be something important, and then he saw that the one walking at the front of the team seemed to be the concubine of the Xiao family, so he guessed most of the whole thing.

So I hurriedly changed my clothes and went out.

At this time, Ling Yi was playing chess with the staff around him at home. His expression was focused, his brows were furrowed, but the chess pieces in his hand did not fall for a long time, thinking and thinking.

Suddenly, a flying knife flew in from the paper window and stuck it in the pillar of the room, with a clean and neat technique.

When the staff member saw the flying knife, he was shocked and exclaimed, "There are assassins, there are assassins." As he spoke, he pushed Ling Yi behind him, looking like a loyal protector.

The guards outside heard the shouts and hurriedly rushed in, but they only saw Ling Yi and the staff, and there was no one else in the room.

Ling Yi was still calm, pushed the opener, walked to the pillar, and pulled out the flying knife hard. I saw a piece of paper inserted under the flying knife, on which it was only written, "There is a change in the East Palace, bring people quickly and enter the palace." ”

Ling Yi reacted immediately, and hurriedly sent a group of ministers led by Master Zong into the mansion.

In the palace of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, everything is normal,

Ling Xiong bowed his head to the table, carefully looked at the folds in his hand, and from time to time raised his pen to read carefully.

The door of the imperial study was gently pushed open, and I saw Concubine Li, dressed in plain clothes and carrying a tray, slowly walking in.

Hearing the footsteps, Ling Xiong slowly raised his head, and saw Concubine Li's delicate dress and beautiful shadow, which was a little pleasing to the eye, "Why is Concubine Ai here?" ”

Concubine Li walked to Ling Xiong's side lightly, put the tray in her hand aside, and picked up a bowl of soup inside, "Your Majesty, you have been reviewing the folds, you are tired, come and drink a bowl of ginseng soup to replenish it, and rest for a while by the way, this is specially made for you by the concubine." ”

Seeing Concubine Li's empathetic appearance, Ling Xiong put down the fold in his hand, took the soup handed over by Concubine Li, and drank it in one gulp without looking at it.

"In the future, it's good to let your subordinates do this kind of thing, so why should you bother? It's just that the taste of this soup is a little different from the past? ”

Concubine Li retracted her gaze, walked two steps away, looked at Ling Xiong with a smile, and said, "Because ······"

Before he finished speaking, the originally closed study door was opened, and the eunuch at the door was kicked in and lay next to Ling Xiong's feet.

The eunuch fell at Ling Xiong's feet, his face pale, and he fainted after spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.

Ling Xiong was taken aback, stood up from his seat in an instant, and looked out angrily, "Who is so bold?" ”

The sound of heavy footsteps became clearer and clearer, and I saw Ling Yan walking in in a strong suit, the chill on his body was too strong, and a cold wind was aroused.

Seeing Ling Yan walk in, Ling Xiong didn't seem surprised, "Yan'er, what do you want to do?" ”

Ling Yan didn't speak, looking at Ling Xiong's eyes with a rampant that he had never seen before, he raised his hand and overturned the table full of concertos.

This action undoubtedly annoyed Ling Xiong. Although Ling Xiong was very suspicious, he attached great importance to state affairs, and now that so many twists and turns had been smashed to the ground, the anger in his heart could be imagined.

"Presumptuous, what the hell do you want to do?" Ling Xiong looked at the folds all over the ground and yelled at Ling Yan.

On weekdays, when he heard Ling Xiong's anger, Ling Yan would have already knelt on the ground, trembling all over, begging for mercy, but now, Ling Xiong's anger could no longer have any deterrent effect.

I saw Ling Yan turn around and overturn the table on the side and the books on the bookshelf to the ground, moving quickly and with full strength.

In an instant, the entire imperial study became a mess.

After Ling Yan finished everything, he paced in front of Ling Xiong again and threw a scroll of holy decrees over, "Stamp, you can rest!" ”

Ling Xiong opened the holy decree and browsed the contents inside, his eyes widened and his anger became more and more vigorous, "What a big boldness, you dare to force the palace!" Someone, someone'······"

"Don't scream, there's no one outside, they've all been evacuated." Ling Yan said coldly.

Ling Xiong didn't expect Ling Yan to be so bold, and shouted at the secret guard hiding in the shadows, "Take down this unfilial son for me." ”

Before the words fell, several corpses fell from the beams of the main hall, smashed into blood, and their faces were pale, and it seemed that they had already lost their breath.

"I've told you everything, there's no one!" Ling Yan's cold voice came out again, and there was a little impatience in his eyes.
