There was a lantern hanging at the door of the Internal Affairs Office, and the two guards yawned sleepily, and the figure in front of them flashed, and they were knocked unconscious.

Luo Tian walked into the internal affairs house, and the palace people who were not bad had already rested.

Generally speaking, a palace person with the status of Gonggong Zhuo has a mansion in the palace, and his identity is not ordinary, so he will not live in the internal affairs mansion and mix with the young palace people, but at the moment, Gonggong Zhuo is afraid that he knows too much, and he does not dare to show up for fear of being targeted by Luo Tian, so he hid.

Externally, the sixth prince has arranged for someone to report to the emperor, saying that Gonggong Zhuo died in the melee, which made the old emperor sad for a while, after all, he is an old slave who has followed him for many years.

In the private room in the side room, Father-in-law Zhuo took a sip of tea, sighed and said: "After a while, the emperor abdicates, will the sixth prince give me a large sum of money as agreed, let me return to my hometown?"

In the days of the palace for decades, in the eyes of outsiders, he has always been the closest person to the emperor, and he is an example for the palace people, and even some concubines with low status and no children have to look at the face of Gonggong Zhuo.

However, only he knows that the struggle in the palace is fierce, and often a small thing can lead to a huge conspiracy, and many once dazzling pearls will flash like meteors, and then quickly die.

It seems to be splendid and prosperous here, but in fact it is like hell,

The six princes don't need him, but he provides a lot of help to the six princes, which can be exchanged for a happy life in old age, as long as he escapes the last three months, the old emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne,

Someone knocked on the door, and Zhuo Gonggong shouted dissatisfiedly: "Which little cub doesn't have long eyes, the Sprinkle family is asleep,"

There was no answer outside the door, but the knock on the door was hurried,

"Who, don't knock, knocking gives me a headache," Zhuo Gonggong walked to the door, opened the door and looked, the dissatisfied expression on his face turned into horror in an instant, and he hurriedly wanted to close the door, but was knocked to the ground by a palm from the person outside the door, and the door opened completely with a "bang",

Luo Tian stepped into Zhuo's room, his face was cold, he looked at Zhuo's grandfather indifferently and whispered, "You didn't die,"

Gonggong Zhuo retreated to the corner of the wall and hurriedly said, "Young Master Luo, let the old slave go,"

"What have you done to be sorry for me, to let me let you go," Luo Tian asked with a sneer,

Zhuo's father-in-law didn't say anything, and shrank back again,

Luo Tian walked over, approached Gonggong Zhuo and asked, "Is it you who poisoned the emperor?"

Father-in-law Zhuo was stunned, and then nodded slowly, this kind of old man is very smart, he knows that the situation in front of him is not honest to answer for fear that his life will be guaranteed.

"Who poisoned you," Luo Tian asked again,

Zhuo Gonggong hesitated a little, but did not say anything immediately,

"Don't force me to kill you," Luo Tian's fingers floated, and the frightened Gonggong Zhuo shrunk his neck,

"Yes...... It's His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince,"

Luo Tian finally heard the truth, even if it was something he was unwilling to accept.

"You didn't lie to me, dare to lie to me, I'll abolish you," Luo Tian shouted,

"How dare I lie to you, it was really His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince who asked me to poison, he knew from me that His Royal Highness the Third Prince purchased poison from a foreign country, so he planned it, used His Royal Highness the Third Prince as a cover, and in private, let me poison the emperor's food and tea, and the amount of poisoning was not large every time, and at the same time, I also controlled it from the side of the Tai Hospital, so that they did not dare to tell the truth, and I helped His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince in secret,"

"Why do you want to help Ji Yuan, what benefits does he give you, you have never lacked glory and wealth by the emperor's side, no one in the palace and outside the palace knows your father-in-law Zhuo's name, you want money and money, you want fame and fame, you are not satisfied," Luo Tian asked,

"Luo Gongzi doesn't know, according to my country's laws and regulations, after the emperor dies, the old slave will also be buried together, the so-called house slave when he is born, and the ghost servant after death, if the emperor dies, even if I am healthy, I will die together, but the six princes promised me, as long as I help him ascend the throne, I can be spared from death, and let me leave the palace and return to my hometown, and spend my old age in peace,"

"So you betrayed the emperor,"

"Hehe, it's not about betraying but thinking more about himself, in the eyes of the three princes, the fate of those of us who are slaves is not fate, he is the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, in contrast, I am more willing to cooperate with the six princes, he hides very deeply, and his scheming is enough for the city, only such a person can go to the end and become the emperor,"

Luo Tian didn't know what to say, Ji Yuan in his eyes seemed to be an illusion, and his friendship for more than ten years seemed to have been deceived.

"One last question, I'...... Isn't it a prince,"

Outside the emperor's bedroom, the six princes walked out with a medicine bowl, these days he personally took care of the emperor, and the ministers inside and outside the palace felt that he was a filial prince, and there was no doubt that he would be the future emperor of Yunshan.

The night was very late, and Ji Yuan was a little sleepy, but he saw Luo Tian standing at the bottom of the stone steps, looking at himself,

"Why haven't you rested yet, your injuries haven't healed yet, you have to pay more attention to your body," Ji Yuan stood at the top of the stone steps with a kind smile on his face,

Luo Tian opened his mouth and said, "Do you have time, I want to talk to you, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince,"

The two of them walked side by side in the palace, and the palace people they saw along the way knelt down and saluted, Luo Tian looked sideways, and Ji Yuan seemed to have become the master of this palace.

"What's wrong with you, you said you wanted to talk to me, but why didn't you speak," the sixth prince asked,

Luo Tian smiled and asked, "How many years have we known each other?"

"It's been more than ten years, I want to think about it, you know the moon spirit first, and then you know me, almost eleven years, I can't remember the specifics, by the way, do you remember the place in front of you, we once played hide and seek there, and then the seventh sister looked for a long time and couldn't find us, and we all cried urgently, haha,"

Luo Tian smiled, the good memories of those young days made him smile,

He still remembers the feeling when he first met Ji Yuan, a courteous prince, he has had a more mature feeling than his peers since he was a child,

Leaning against the wall, it was close to the end of the year, and the temperature in the palace was also dropping, Luo Tian exhaled a white breath, and heard Ji Yuan ask: "Luo Tian, when I become the emperor, will you stay and help me?"

Luo Tian looked up at the stars in the dark night, and said with a smile: "My ambition is not in the Yunshan Country, I want to go to the mainland to break through and climb to the peak of martial arts,"

"But what if I want you to stay," Ji Yuan asked again,

"When I make a name for myself on the mainland, wouldn't it be better to come back and help you, after ten years, maybe I'm already a Didan-level master,"

"Just you, Didan, haha......" Ji Yuan laughed kindly,

"Why, you don't believe me, what are you laughing at, don't laugh anymore......" Luo Tian muttered embarrassedly,

The two older boys fought, as if they had abandoned their respective identities and turned back into children playing in the palace, and after chasing and fighting for a while, the two sat on the stone steps panting,

"It's not early, tomorrow I have to review the chapter on behalf of my father, so I'll go back and rest first," Ji Yuan stood up and walked towards his palace,

Luo Tian lowered his head, pondered for a moment and finally asked, "Yuan, have you ever deceived me, or are you going to lie to me?"

Ji Yuan stopped, but did not turn around, and said, "Why do you ask that?"

"Nothing, you just say that you have lied to me, or...... Took advantage of me,"

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, Ji Yuan turned around slowly, the cold wind blew, blowing the golden python robe on his body, and his face appeared as high as only the superior has been,

"Even though we have known each other for more than ten years, Luo Tian, you have to understand that in three months I will be the emperor of Yunshan Kingdom, and you are my courtier, I am not using you, but ordering you, you understand,"

The style of this moment is cold, as if it can blow into Luo Tian's heart,

Luo Tian nodded and said: "Then for the sake of more than ten years of friendship, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, Luo Tian is here to ask you for one thing, even if you deprive our Luo family of military power, don't do it too much, at least our Luo family has made great contributions for you,"

Ji Yuan turned his head and walked forward in the cold wind, he didn't answer, Luo Tian lowered his head and didn't recognize the back in front of him,

"Since ancient times, the emperor will cross the river and tear down the bridge......"

He remembered what the third prince had said, as if it had been verified, the Luo family was a high master and had a heavy army, which was a threat to any emperor.

Luo Tian raised his head, as if he could already see the future fate of the Luo family, but he only hoped that the Luo family would not perish because of this.
