Chapter 8: The Edge (4)
Shi Shiran stood in the middle of the room, his clear eyes glanced at everything in the room casually, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his slender figure would not make people feel thin at all.
It was a handsome face as if it had been carefully carved, with sword eyebrows like flying noses, a tall nose and a resolute mouth, especially those eyes, which were as clear and dazzling as obsidian, exuding an awe-inspiring aura, and the momentum around them was compelling, just standing there gave people a sense of oppression.
Seeing the face of the person who came, Yuan Yuheng took a step back in horror, "You, why are you here?" Aren't you supposed to be guarding the border? ”
Yuan Yongyan found a complete one in the broken chair, sat down leisurely, and said lazily, "How can I see such a wonderful scene when I won't come?" Tut-tuk shook his head, "Killing the king and killing the father, the eldest brother is so brave, and the royal brother sighs to himself." ”
Needless to say, Yuan Yongyan saw everything that had just happened in the house, Yuan Yuheng's face instantly turned pale like a ghost, and suddenly he laughed loudly, "Second brother, your smart big brother is admired." ”
"You gave us the illusion that you were still outside the gate, but in fact you had already returned to the palace, secretly observing everything in the palace, and you saw everything that had just happened from beginning to end. As the so-called river mussels compete for the benefit of fishermen, my father dies and I am the eternal sinner who killed the king and killed my father, and if I die, you are the only prince left, and no one will compete with you for the throne, you are a good calculation. ”
Yuan Yongyan looked leisurely and did not deny it.
"Actually, you've wanted the old man to die just like me, haven't you? I've saved you a lot of effort, right? The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and the second brother is worthy of being the one who leads the troops to fight, and the thirty-six uses it perfectly. The violent anger on Yuan Yuheng's face disappeared, and he was replaced with a smug look, "It's a pity, now that my father has returned to the West, who can prove that I killed him?" I'm the one who came late to save the car. Yuan Yuheng's sword pointed at Yuan Yongyan, the sword slashed, and the sound of breaking the air sounded, "The second prince Yuan Yongyan's crime of killing the king and seizing the throne is unforgivable, I can capture you now, the second brother should understand the truth of winning the king and defeating the king, right?" ”
Yuan Yongyan put down the teacup he had been playing with, got up and stepped forward until the sword was against his chest, he smiled and said, "Big brother won't think that I came back alone, since I am the successor, I am naturally fully prepared." ”
Yuan Yuheng was furious, he raised his hand and slashed, and the raised wrist was caught by Yuan Yongyan on his back, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free of half a point.
Yuan Yongyan leaned into his ear and whispered, "With your three-legged cat skills, you won't think you can beat me." ”
Yuan Yuheng was angry and humiliated, and gathered together, but there was nothing to be done. Yuan Yongyan has led troops all year round, and his own kung fu is naturally not weak, he has seen him besieged by more than 20 people in the royal training ground, and those people were knocked down without even touching his clothes, if they were on the battlefield, those people would have already died, and seeing his leisurely expression, he obviously did not do his best.
"Someone." Yuan Yongyan put away leisurely.
Yuan Yuheng couldn't help but take two steps back, staring nervously at the entrance.
A person walked in from the outside, tall, bronzed, resolute and deep contours, it was Lin Jikuo, who had been by Yuan Yongyan's side all the year round.
"The eldest prince Yuan Yuheng's crime of killing the monarch and killing his father is not punishable, and he is pressed to the heavenly prison, waiting for his fate, and no one is allowed to visit without my order."
Yuan Yuheng resisted, but although he was pampered, although he had kung fu, he was the opponent of Lin Jikuo, who fought with his life on the battlefield all the year round, and he was quickly subdued.
"Yuan Yongyan, if you dare to do this to me, I will not let you go, now you are not the emperor, you have no right to treat me like this......"
Yuan Yongyan stopped his wild scream with a look, and smiled contemptuously, "You see if I dare." ”
"Hongu would like to see it too." With a clear and elegant voice, Su Xueyao walked in, and the guards behind her rushed in and surrounded the people inside.
"Mother save me."
Su Xueyao glanced at Yuan Yuheng and confirmed that he was not injured before turning to Yuan Yongyan unhurriedly, "I don't know what crime the eldest prince has committed, the second prince wants to arrest him." ”
The mother and son sang a play together, and Yuan Yongyan sneered in her heart, "The eldest prince killed the king and seized the throne, the crime cannot be punished, and now it is the scene of the murder." ”
Su Xueyao glanced contemptuously at the corpse on the ground, and chuckled, "Ning Yuanlie's heart can be punished, intending to murder the emperor and usurp the throne, the eldest prince came to the rescue when he learned the news, but unfortunately he failed to save the emperor's life, although he was useless, he couldn't put the charge of killing the monarch and killing his father on his head, and the second prince had to talk about evidence." ”
Yuan Yongyan glanced casually, and Chu Junxi, who was paralyzed in a corner, chuckled, "Evidence? "What more evidence do you need to see with your own eyes?
"There is no evidence, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, and the second prince should be very clear about the crime of slandering the prince, so there is no need for this palace to say it, right?"
"What proof do you have that I killed my father? Did I say you killed you? Yuan Yuheng shouted at Yuan Yongyan, he would be fine with his mother, "It was Ning Yuanlie who had bad intentions and wanted to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, I came to stop him, but unfortunately it was too late and failed to prevent the tragedy from happening, what reason do you have to put me in prison?" ”
The situation changed instantly, Yuan Yongyan didn't seem to care, although the eldest prince was incompetent, the relationship behind him was intertwined, and his execution now would inevitably lead to the crazy revenge of the forces behind him, and he must be uprooted.
Thinking of this, Yuan Yongyan said lightly, "I really don't have any evidence. ”
"Since there is no evidence, I will not let the eldest prince go." Su Xueyao pressed forward step by step.
Yuan Yongyan waved his hand, and Lin Jikuo let Yuan Yuheng go. Yuan Yuheng, who was freed, quickly hid behind Su Xueyao.
Su Xueyao finally set her eyes on the person on the dragon bed, "Come on, Ning Yuanlie killed the emperor, the crime cannot be punished, and he will be pressed to the heavenly prison to be dealt with." ”
The guards all withdrew, and the inner room, which had just been densely packed with people, instantly became empty.
The night was thick and dark, but Chu Junxi's heart was empty. The emperor returned to the west, as a princess of the relatives she was going to be martyred, and now the guards are leading her to the Guining Palace, and she will live there in the future until the day the emperor enters the mausoleum.
Su Xueyao hurriedly walked back with Yuan Yuheng, and suddenly her body froze in place, her face pale.
"Mother?" Yuan Yuheng didn't know why.
After a long time, Su Xueyao said, "Let's go." "The emperor didn't write down the edict, and even that thing couldn't make any articles in his hands.
The candle flame shone softly orange through the veil, and there was a faint smell of blood floating in the air. Layers of veils dragged the ground, and the warm corpse on the dragon bed made of pure gold gradually turned cold in the cold night.
Yuan Yongyan opened the curtain, ignoring Yuan Qingduo's corpse and directly opened his left hand, wearing a round ring with a green and round shape on his shriveled finger.
Yuan Yongyan frowned slightly, she was not there, Su Xueyao never approached her father's corpse, could it be that she was taken away by Yuan Yuheng when she didn't notice?
With a chuckle, Yuan Yongyan's brows stretched, if they didn't care, even if that thing was in their hands, they would make it useless.
