The eight days passed very quickly, and soon it was the emperor's birthday, but the night before the birthday, the heavy rain poured all night, a bit like the opening of the heavenly river, and endless rain poured down from the sky.

In the depths of the palace, the palace was originally full of excitement because of the universal celebration of the emperor's birthday tomorrow, but now the thunder, lightning and rain have taken three steps, and the atmosphere that was originally happy has been extinguished in an instant.

Every palace lady shrunk in his room and didn't come out, in the Buddhist hall of Yanxi Palace, Gong Xuan was kneeling behind his mother, he listened to his mother reciting those scriptures devoutly, but listening to his ears, it was like a magic sound piercing his ears, this so-called Buddhist scripture, in his eyes, was just to arouse the evil fire in his heart.

"Zheng'er, why is your Taoist concubine chanting sutras and chanting Buddha?"

Gong Xuanzheng was thinking about things next to him, but he didn't think that his mother would suddenly ask, and at this moment Gong Xuanzheng shook his head honestly: "I don't know,"

"The mother is atoning for your sins."

When Gong Xuanzheng heard this, shock flashed in his heart, but it was only for a moment, how could this Shu Guifei not know what her son was doing, all the princes had accidents one after another in just two years, and only he was still safe and sound.

She knew that her son's ambition was big, but she couldn't give him what he wanted, she knew that Gong Xuan was being bullied and not treated well since he was a child, and she often felt guilty that she couldn't help him.

But now she feels that her son's path is getting more and more crooked, and it is impossible for the emperor to be completely unaware.

The emperor has been sitting on the throne for more than 30 years, so many siblings have not succeeded in usurping, how can her son succeed now.

She didn't believe it, so after dinner today, she ordered someone to go out of the palace to the palace and called Gong Xuanzheng over.

Gong Xuanzheng thinks that he has never mentioned these things to his mother, and he thought about asking his mother to help him before, but after thinking about it, his mother has been used to it all her life, if she knew that she was doing such a thing, it was estimated that it was more likely that she would tie herself up to intercede with her father.

Concubine Shu looked at Gong Xuanzheng, who was silent behind her, got up and touched his face, stared at him seriously, and said after a long time: "Although you are the fifth son of the emperor, but what you are doing now, I really don't know who you are like, you are not like your father, you are not like me,"

In fact, if you want to say like, in fact, he is still more like the emperor, and the emperor's hands are actually not clean, but the emperor's authority is not allowed to be questioned, and no one is allowed to make irresponsible remarks.

Gong Xuanzheng really knew this, so he riveted his strength to do such a thing, saying that he was carried away by power, he always knew what he wanted, so he worked hard for it, never gave up,

And now that the arrow is on the string, how can such a few words persuade him to turn back.

So at this moment, Gong Xuanzheng got up and retreated: "The mother concubine rested earlier, and the son retired."

Concubine Shu looked at his back and sighed, Gong Xuanzheng went out with the sandalwood in the small Buddha hall, and at this moment the wind was still raging outside, the showers were non-stop, and Gong Xuanzheng did not hold an umbrella, and the whole person walked directly into the storm.

His back soon disappeared into the endless darkness of the night.

His determination to be unhindered, how could Concubine Shu not understand when she watched him act like this....

The incense in the small Buddha hall is still burning, the smoke is filled, Shu Guifei is still kneeling at the feet of the Bodhisattva religiously, but for some reason, she suddenly shed two lines of tears, and then seemed to be unable to hold it anymore.

It rained all night last night, but it was a sunny weather in the morning, dawn was like a sharp sword, splitting the heavy night of last night, the lark who got up early sang tactfully in the air that was half light and half dark and not yet fully lit, like a sorrowful scream, like a whimper, so that this cold street that was still sleeping added a trace of loneliness....

In the distant sky, there are still a few half-bright and half-extinguished remnant stars, and the sun seems to be soaked in blood, and it is like a lonely eye coldly looking down on the thousands of ants in this world......

The sunlight slanted into Ning Zimo's room, and at this moment she got up from the bed slowly, followed by Gong Xuanli, who was already dressed neatly, at this moment he was wearing a pure black mask, standing behind Ning Zimo, taking the glass comb in Ning Zimo's hand, and while combing Ning Zimo's hair, he said gossipily: "You should be more careful today." ”

Ning Zimo nodded, hummed softly, and then turned around the chair for half a circle, wrapping his waist: "You have to be more careful." ”

"It's okay, don't worry,"

Ning Zimo's heart was pounding, in fact, she was also very scared, the jade slave disappeared early in the morning, Ning Zimo also felt that it didn't matter, today's highlights were all in the palace, she had to recuperate her spirit to deal with it,

"If you encounter any danger, you can run, but I have arranged for someone to protect you."

Ning Zimo nodded, indicating that he knew, breakfast was just finished, Ning Guodong came over, holding the previous greeting post in the palace in his hand, although the Ning family was married and withdrawn by the emperor before, but Ning Guodong still had authority in the previous dynasty, and at this moment he and Ning Zimo were both invited.

So this Ning Guodong came to ask Ning Zimo to pack up and prepare, and prepare to enter the palace at noon, but when he came over, he saw that there was a person sitting in front of the dining table, and this person was still wearing a mask, and Ning Guodong's face immediately looked bad.

Of course, Gong Xuanli also knew this, so he hurriedly got up and respectfully called General Ning.

This voice was very familiar, Ning Guodong looked at it for a long time with half-squinted eyes, and then said, "Mo'er, this can't be it?" ”

"Daddy, what do you think, this is the ink in your barracks, not Gong Xuanli."

Ning Guodong also knew that that Luo Mo was very similar to Gong Xuanli, and his body shape was also very similar, but it was only two months, how could he even have such a similar voice, Ning Guodong looked at them together, and felt that it was very eye-catching, how could his daughter be in the room with a soldier in a military camp all day long, this is not good.

So Ning Guodong immediately kicked this person out of the room, and it happened that Gong Xuanli was about to leave, so he took the opportunity to leave.

The secret guard of the palace Xuanzheng saw that this person did not follow when he left the general's mansion, anyway, it was just a small man, today's Miss Ning is going to enter the palace, where is he going, but it is not within the scope of his surveillance, the main thing he and his brother did today is to look at the two fathers and daughters of Ning Guodong and Ning Zimo, if these two fathers and daughters did not lead troops to attack the imperial city, then the situation would not be good.

Early in the morning, Qu Jiang went to the barracks, and Gong Xuanzheng also planted along the line in the barracks.

Ning Guodong and Ning Zimo went relatively late, and when they arrived in the palace, it was almost noon, and since their father and daughter, they soon had eunuchs and palace e's leading the two of them.

Originally, those men and women were separated, the emperor and queen, and some uncles and princes were eating together, and at this moment, the two people who led Ning Guodong and Ning Zimo took them directly to the emperor.

The people sitting in this palace are all related to the emperor, and the court officials brought their daughters, and only the Ning family is the only one.

Although the princes expressed curiosity, no one asked, it must have been arranged by the emperor like this, what qualifications do they have to ask.

And the one that has already arrived at the banquet, in addition to the Four Emperor Palaces Xuanming and the Five Emperors Palace Xuanzheng, there are also the Six Emperors Palaces Xuanli.

Everyone thought that Gong Xuanli had repeatedly reported bad news this month, and he would not participate in such a birthday banquet, but he never thought that Gong Xuanli was still here, but he still had a vegetable color, ugly and tight, and others looked at the bad color of the dead man on his face, and they didn't like to sit with him.

At this moment, Gong Xuanli was supported by Xiao Ba Xiaojiu and sat in his place, and Gong Xuanli's position was specially made, saying that it was to prevent a strong wind from blowing on him, and a screen was set up next to his seat to separate him, so that to a large extent, the princes and county lords who didn't like to be with him would stand away from him for more reason, for fear that his illness would spread to him.

Gong Xuanli's coughing was that Gong Xuanming, who was also a medicine jar, was more concerned about Gong Xuanli, and saw that this Gong Xuanming walked up to Gong Xuanli at this moment, and said with concern: "Sixth brother, if you are not feeling well, why don't you tell your father, how about you go down to rest earlier?" ”

The emperor's position is far away from here, the emperor is drinking tea and talking with those older generations of princes at the moment, Gong Xuanli heard someone come to talk to him, and he was ready to reply, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he took a breath of cool breeze, which was fine, but after taking a cool breeze, he coughed violently.

No, before I could say a word, I coughed for a long time.

Gong Xuanming was very worried, he knew that he was going to provoke him to cough like this, so it was better not to talk to him.

"Many.... What a ....."

Gong Xuanli, who was coughing, wanted to say something more concerned about the fourth brother, but Gong Xuanming heard that he seemed to be about to cough up his heart and lungs, so he hurriedly relieved: "Don't talk, stop talking, drink saliva to moisten your throat." ”

While speaking, Gong Xuanming also poured a glass of water for Gong Xuanli and put it on his hand, Gong Xuanming remembered that after the last time he had a cold wind, when he coughed, his wife also took care of him like this.

Gong Xuanming is a person who has been sick since he was a child, so he naturally knows how sad it is to be sick, and this cough doesn't sound like a fake at all.

Speaking of this, Ning Zimo is also ruthless enough, he has raised a little man for two months, and he directly used a pill to really toss this person sick, and Ning Zimo tortured people enough, and the sick look on the face of the tortured Mo was still half dead, and he was sent to the palace to replace the real Gong Xuanli.

However, when Gong Xuanming kindly handed him water, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Gong Xuanli's appearance under the felt hat and silk scarf.....
