Thirty-seven, the emperor died

Since the king promised the emperor to be responsible for the security of this palace, if he does not do well, wouldn't he be ashamed of the emperor? What are you waiting for? He said as he spoke to the guards.

So those guards came forward one after another to besiege Jiang Shaoheng, Jiang Shaoheng was a martial arts master in the world, how could a few guards be in his eyes? Yes, when Zhu Jianchen gave the order, Jiang Shaoheng smiled coldly.

Immediately after that, those guards were about to come forward to make a move, those guards were all Zhu Jianchen's right-hand men trained by himself, their martial arts were very high, and it was easy to deal with ordinary people, but unfortunately today they met the famous Jiang Shaoheng.

Jiang Shaoheng's martial arts are unique in the world, and there are few people in the world who are his opponents, let alone a few guards? In addition, this is in Jian Huaizhen's dormitory, and the palace is not very big in the first place, so there are not many people coming in.

Zhu Jianchen ordered each guard's sword to be smeared with poison, so that he could deal with Jiang Shaoheng, but he didn't expect that Jiang Shaoheng was far from being as simple as he thought, those guards came forward one after another, and they were about to assassinate Jiang Shaoheng, who knew that Jiang Shaoheng was up and down, just a few simple rounds, and he beat those guards to the ground.

Zhu Jianchen was taken aback when he saw this situation, he hurriedly beckoned, preparing to let the guards guarding outside the palace rush in together, and who knew that at this time, Jiang Shaoheng suddenly rushed in front of him, raised his hand, lifted the clothes on his chest, and lifted him in front of Jian Huaizhen's bed.

Then he turned his face to the guards who were lying on the ground and groaning, and said to them, "Now that your prince is in my hands, if any of you dare to act rashly, I will kill him at once." ”

When those guards heard this, they immediately looked at each other, they didn't dare to let Zhu Jianchen have any danger, in case Zhu Jianchen was in any danger, they would definitely not be able to get rid of it, not to mention that they were all secretly trained by Zhu Jianchen, and they were loyal to Zhu Jianchen, so they were stunned for a moment.

Only then did Zhu Jianchen turn his face to look at Jiang Shaoheng, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames, and he asked him, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Don't you know what I want to do? Rajah. After finishing speaking, he glanced at Jian Huaizhen, who nodded.

Zhu Jianchen was stunned, and he said to Jian Huaizhen after a long time: "Princess Huang, it's me who is not good, I did wrong before, I shouldn't do something rebellious." But I'm always your grandson, and you're not going to kill me, are you? ”

"Yes, this palace will indeed not kill you, but why do you want to kill the emperor? If you are willing to hand over the emperor now, this palace guarantees that you will be fine, but if you are unwilling to hand over the emperor, as for what Taifu Jiang will do, it is not up to this palace to influence. After finishing speaking, she glanced at Zhu Jianchen coldly.

When Zhu Jianchen saw this situation, he knew that things had reached a very serious point, and he also understood what kind of person Jian Huaizhen was, although he did have a soft-hearted side, after all, it was involved in the affairs of the family and the country, and he would definitely not give up so easily.

He was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing, with a smug look in his laughter.

After hearing him laugh like this, Jian Huaizhen and Jiang Shaoheng were a little stunned.

"Princess, do you know why I'm smiling? I'm just laughing at you, yes, I'm laughing at you, you are indeed very intelligent, and Mrs. Jiang's martial arts are very high, you have subdued me, but what does it matter? Since I dare to come to see you, I am not afraid of being restrained by them, which means that I already have chips in my hands. At that, he burst out laughing.

"You've got the chips in your hand, so what? Do you say the emperor? Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said: "If the emperor really has something long, you will also accompany the emperor to the funeral." Even if the Zhu family only has you, the grandson in the future, this palace will definitely not be merciful. ”

"Of course I'm not talking about the emperor, the emperor is still useful to me, I won't watch the emperor die so easily. I'm talking about another person, I'm talking about Tang Shufei, you should know Tang Shufei, right? The eldest princess. With that, he grinned at Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen was slightly stunned when he heard him mention Tang Shufei's name, and then he remembered that Tang Jingran had been in the palace all along, by the way, usually Tang Jingran would come to heal his injuries at this time, why didn't he come today?

As soon as her mind moved, she already understood what Zhu Jianchen's idea was, so she said to him, "Could it be that you imprisoned Concubine Tang Shu?" ”

"Not bad." Zhu Jianchen was aggressive: "The eldest princess, you are indeed a smart person, you are a smart person, you are good." It's a pity that I'm not a stupid person, so I have long expected that there are many dangers in going against you, the eldest princess, so I have already put Concubine Tang Shu under house arrest early. As long as I am in any danger, Concubine Tang Shu will immediately follow me to the funeral. Princess, I advise you to think about it clearly. ”

Jian Huaizhen and Jiang Shaoheng glanced at each other, and both of them showed worry in their eyes.

Jian Huaizhen tried to calm down his emotions, and slowly thought for a while before he said, "Okay, since you said that Tang Jingran is already in your hands, do you have any evidence?" ”

"Yes, princess, of course I have proof." As he spoke, he took out a hairpin from his body and showed it to Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen recognized the hairpin, and she recognized at a glance that it was given to her by Tang Jingran's mother, and Tang Jingran had always regarded it as a treasure, and she had carried it with her, and she had never dropped one.

Now, this hairpin is actually in the hands of King Jing Zhu Jianchen, which means that Tang Jingran has probably encountered an accident, or is he really under house arrest, and he has not yet used any means to deal with her.

Jian Huaizhen was stunned for a long time, as if she was hesitating what to do next, but who knew that Zhu Jianchen was forced to look at her, and said word by word: "Imperial Princess, you should know that I, Zhu Jianchen, have never been a very patient person. I have been locked up in Nansan for so many years, and all my patience has been exhausted. ”

After saying this, he laughed, obviously threatening Jian Huaizhen in his tone.

Jian Huaizhen was very annoyed, but he was helpless, who let him kidnap Tang Jingran? Can you ignore Tang's shocked life?

"Princess, I know that you don't believe what I'm saying now, so I can't help it. In short, Concubine Tang is in my hands, if you don't believe it, you can do it to me. After finishing speaking, a strange smile appeared on Zhu Jianchen's face.

He was still flustered at the beginning, but now he suddenly became so calm that Jian Huaizhen had to be suspicious.

Although Jian Huaizhen wanted to end this matter as soon as possible, she couldn't ignore Tang Jingran's safety, so after listening to it, she also fell into a contradiction for a while.

And at this time, Fang Yu said coldly on the side: "How could the shocked dye be in his hands? Shocking was far more powerful than he and those under him. Princess, you don't have anything to worry about, I think he's exaggerating when he takes the opportunity. ”

When Zhu Jianchen heard Fang Yu say this, he just sneered and didn't say a word.

Jian Huaizhen has always been thoughtful, especially the scattered deaths before caused her deep stimulation, if she could carefully observe the scattered words and deeds at that time, maybe she would not have ended up where she is today.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Zhu Jianchen, with a hint of choked in her voice, and asked, "Did you kill Lingluo?" ”

Zhu Jianchen smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the eldest princess, Ling Luo did die in the hands of my grandson, and I sent someone to kill her." But you can't blame me for that, who let her know so many things? People who know more generally don't live long. I know what you're thinking now, you think that Tang is very good at martial arts, but there are many things in this world that are more powerful than martial arts, such as smoke, such as poison. After saying this, he couldn't help but sneer.

Jian Huaizhen frowned, and after thinking carefully for a long time, the other party said to Jiang Shaoheng: "In that case, I want to see what tricks he plays." Tell me where you put the shock. ”

"Shocked? Did you say Tang Shufei? She is in Jingren Palace, if the eldest princess doesn't believe it, just follow her grandson to Jingren Palace. I know that in your mind, the emperor's life is more important than anything else, but the grandson dares to gamble, and I don't believe that Tang Shufei's life has no weight in your mind. After he finished speaking, he just kept sneering.

Jian Huaizhen was speechless for a while, yes, he made a lot of sense, Zhu Jianshen's life was indeed very important in Jian Huaizhen's mind, but how could Tang Jingran's life not be important?

Jian Huaizhen lowered his head, thought about the whole thing carefully, and finally nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's go." ”

So, everyone walked towards Jingren Palace together, Fang Xiao still looked suspicious, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Sister princess, I can finally see this person, he is too thoughtful and scheming, let's not be deceived by him." ”

Jian Huaizhen calmed down, and she said: "True or false, no matter what, you must not let anything happen to the shock." We originally wanted to save the emperor, but if we took the life of shock because we wanted to save the emperor, it wouldn't be worth it. ”

After hearing her say this, Fang Yu stopped talking, so the group escorted Zhu Jianchen to Jingren Palace in a hurry.

When they arrived at Jingren Palace, there was no mechanism, which was very unexpected by Fang Yu and the others, but when they walked to the main hall, they found that Zhu Jianchen was not alarmist.

I don't know when, Xia Liao really caught Tang Jingran, there was a man next to her, eight feet tall, who looked very majestic, and he was holding an arrow in his hand, and he was holding the arrow on Tang Jingran's neck.

Tang was shocked to look like she had been poisoned or drugged, the whole person was very tired, and the expression on her face was a little painful, she was now held hostage by the big man, and she couldn't move.

Suddenly, when he saw Jian Huaizhen and the others coming, he was slightly stunned, and immediately shouted: "Aunt Princess, Master, why are you here?" ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "It's a long story, thanks to you for coming up with ideas to send a message to your master, they came as soon as they received the letter." ”

After finishing speaking, she raised her head and glanced at Zhu Jianchen, and slowly said to Zhu Jianchen: "In this way, this palace will negotiate a deal with you, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Jianchen was really nervous when he saw Jian Huaizhen, and he suddenly said with a slight smile as if he had a chance to win: "If the eldest princess has anything to talk to me, just say it, don't be polite." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, you let her go, and this palace also promised not to hurt your life." ”

"What?" Zhu Jianchen looked like he had been struck by lightning, his expression suddenly became a little surprised, he looked at Jian Huaizhen for a long time, and then said slowly: "Is this the deal you negotiated with me?" ”

"Yes, what do you think?"

"Nope." He didn't think about it, and immediately rejected Jian Huaizhen: "You want me to let Tang Jingran go, and then you let me go with my life, from now on, I can't come to the court, I can't come to the court, and I can't even control anything in this court." In the future, I want to be a common man and live like an ordinary person, which is absolutely impossible. What have I endured for so many years? It's nothing more than to get ahead, it's nothing more than to regain the throne, and now you actually told me that you want me to leave and stop worrying about things here. Princess, didn't you say you know me very well? My grandson thinks you don't know me at all. ”

After hearing him say this, Jian Huaizhen let out a long sigh and said: "There is a saying that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, you have no other way now, you only have a dead end." Now that this palace is willing to spare your life, what are you not satisfied with? If that's the case, this palace won't be able to satisfy you. ”

"The eldest princess, what you said is out of sight. Yes, I am indeed a snake swallowing elephant without a heart, so what? But don't forget, there are two people in my hands now, one is the emperor, and the other is Tang Jingran, even if you can rescue the emperor, but what about Tang Jingran? Do you want to watch Concubine Tang Shu die like this? This is not your character, the eldest princess, I won't believe it anyway. He laughed as he spoke.

Jian Huaizhen couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart, Jian Huaizhen felt that he was really hopeless, and it was obvious that he had captured Jian Huaizhen's psychology, so he was like this.

Jian Huaizhen lowered her head, thinking carefully about what should happen to this matter, she knew that if she continued to be humble, he might still have an inch. But if he didn't continue to be humble, maybe he would really die in the net, and then Tang Jingran would really be in danger.

Jian Huaizhen thought about it, but she didn't know what to do, she raised her head and glanced at Jiang Shaoheng and Fang Liao, Jiang Shaoheng frowned, and Fang Xiao looked angry.

Seeing this, Zhu Jianchen continued to smile and said, "There is one more thing I haven't told you, the eldest princess, that is, there is one thing that you must not know." Now that my people have surrounded Jingren Palace, you can't escape at all now, and there is no other way than to accept my advice. Yes, you are indeed strong in martial arts, but so what? If Fang Daxia and Jiang Daxia want to rescue the princess and aunt, it must be easy, but if you want to save another Tang Shufei who has been poisoned, and another emperor who has been poisoned, I believe it must not be so easy. After all, your abilities are limited, aren't they? At this, he burst out laughing, and there was obviously a bit of smugness in his smile.

Jian Huaizhen finally understood why he insisted on coming to Jingren Palace, that is, because he had already set up an ambush in Jingren Palace for a long time, and once something went wrong, as long as he came to Jingren Palace, he might still be able to flee for his life.

This Jingren Palace looks plain on the surface, but in fact it is solid, no wonder Zhu Jianchen is so unscrupulous.

The palace was originally controlled by Zhu Jianchen's people, but now that everyone is trapped in it, it is indeed difficult to escape, and it is also difficult to save all the people, so there will be trade-offs.

Thinking of this, Jian Huaizhen felt a chill.

Jian Huaizhen looked at Zhu Jianchen solemnly, and said to him word by word: "Chen'er, you are not bad, and this palace does not think that you are not good, so you are not suitable to be the emperor." The only difference between you and Shen'er is that he always has a trace of kindness in his heart, while you do everything for yourself. If a selfish and narrow-minded person is allowed to run the world, how can I rest assured? How can I rest assured that a man full of intrigue and intrigue will run the world? ”

"The eldest princess, it's not right for you to say that. In your mind, I am such a person, but have you ever seen that I am also a very talented person? Can you ignore my talent because of the way I do things? Do you think I'm not as good as Zhu Jianshen just because I don't do things like Zhu Jianshen? If I had been the emperor from the beginning to the present, how could I have done anything to plot against the dynasty and usurp the throne? In short, I was forced by you to do all these things. When he said that, the more he spoke, the more indignant he became.

In this situation, Jian Huaizhen was also difficult to choose for a while.

After all, in this case, she didn't know what to do, so she was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Princess, I don't think I can give you a lot of time to choose. If you are given a lot of time to choose, when Luo Kailing brings someone here, won't I be able to escape? Zhu Jianchen laughed out loud when he said this.

After Jian Huaizhen listened, he was shocked in his heart, this person was really a smart person, and he could even guess Jian Huaizhen's layout clearly.

After hearing him say this, Jian Huaizhen didn't know how to answer him for a while.

Seeing that Jian Huaizhen was silent, he smiled slightly, and said more confidently: "Aunt Princess, I think if you can't give me a reasonable solution to this matter, then it's a big deal that everyone will die together." Anyway, I'm just a down-and-out prince, and the emperor is different, as for Concubine Tang Shu......" Speaking of this, he stopped talking.

And at this time, Tang Jingran took two steps forward, and the big man who was holding her said to her coldly: "Don't move, if you move again, I don't guarantee that I can still keep you alive." ”

Jian Huaizhen glanced at Tang and said to her, "Don't worry, Aunt Princess will definitely rescue you." ”

Tang shook his head, tears in his eyes, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Aunt Princess, Aunt Shocking accidentally fell into the hands of others today, and she was tired of Aunt Princess, isn't it shocking?" Shocking Ran didn't have any worries in this world, and being able to get the care of the princess's aunt and the master and uncle for so many years made Shocking Ran already satisfied. Master, Aunt Princess, Uncle Jiang, I can only see you again in the next life. After saying that, there was a look of despair and sadness in her eyes.

Seeing this, Jian Huaizhen's heart moved, and she already understood what she wanted to do, so she said to her: "Shocked, don't mess around, don't worry, I will definitely not let you have anything." ”

But before she finished speaking, Tang Jingran had already taken two steps forward, and she wiped her neck on the knife in the big man's hand, and suddenly red blood flowed out of her snow-white neck, like layers of rouge smeared on white jade, which looked shocking, and people couldn't help but cry when they saw it.

When Jian Huaizhen saw this situation, the whole person was stunned, and after being stunned, he didn't say anything for a long time.

And Fang Yu has always had a deep relationship with Tang Shocking Master and Apprentice, after seeing this situation, he couldn't control his emotions for a while, and shouted: "Shocked." Then he rushed forward, kicked the men to the ground, and threw the man to the ground.

He wanted to step forward to help Tang Jingran up, but it was too late at this time, and Tang Jingran was bleeding from his neck, obviously there was no way to cure it.

Tang was lying quietly on the ground, like a fallen kite, which made people feel infinite pity and sadness in their hearts.

Why? Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Tang Jingran's death obviously brought a great shock to everyone, Jian Huaizhen stood up and approached Zhu Jianchen step by step.

Zhu Jianchen's eyes showed a look of despair, he knew that in this situation, Jian Huaizhen would not let himself go no matter what, because all he relied on in his hands was nothing more than the emperor and Tang Jingran, and what Jian Huaizhen really cared about was Tang Jingran, because he would not let the emperor hurt him no matter what, and the only thing he could use to blackmail Jian Huaizhen was nothing more than Tang Jingran.

Now he never dreamed that Tang Jingran would not hesitate to fight to the death in order to fulfill Jian Huaizhen and fulfill everyone, which made them feel so uncomfortable, naturally they didn't have to think about it.

Everyone didn't say a word for a while, Jian Huaizhen pointed at Zhu Jianchen and said to him: "King Jing, I thought you were a person who was dedicated to Buddha, even if I later found out that you had a conspiracy to do everything, but I never thought that you would even do such a thing. Now, not only did you use the emperor to threaten me, but you also used the shock to threaten me, and now, you even killed the shock, how can you bear it? After saying this, she couldn't help but have a look of disgust in her eyes.

At this time, there was a lot of noise outside, and it was obvious that a lot of people had rushed over, and it was obvious that Luo Kailing had already brought someone to arrive.

Jian Huaizhen's expression became more and more calm, and she said, "King Jing, yes, now there are all your people outside Jingren Palace, but so what? Brother Fang Yu and Brother Shaoheng want to arrest you, and you have done so many bad things, if this palace does not punish you today, this palace is really in vain for the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, there was a look of despair in her eyes, obviously she was deciding what to do with King Jing Zhu Jianchen.

Fang Xiao glanced at King Jing hatefully, and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Princess, what else is there to say about this kind of person?" Even if such a person dies a thousand times, ten thousand times, it is not enough to resist the sins he has committed, why are you still so polite to him? Just let me kill him with a knife. ”

When he said these words, Fang Xiao gritted his teeth, after all, Tang Jingran's death was really too big a blow to him.

Hearing Fang Xiao's words, Jian Huaizhen's heart also trembled slightly, it is true that she still has some ancestral affection for Zhu Jianchen, after all, Zhu Jianchen is a member of the Zhu family, and the blood in her blood is also the blood of the Zhu family. But even so, he can't act recklessly, and he can't do such a rebellious thing, otherwise it will be really outrageous.

When she was hesitating, Xia Zhi knelt on the ground with a thud, she bowed and bowed to Jian Huaizhen, and said while bowing: "Princess, in fact, all this has nothing to do with King Jing, it was Xia who instigated King Jing to do it." In fact, King Jing was originally a person who was dedicated to Buddhism, and he had no ambition at all, so he kept instigating King Jing in order to be the queen, so he kept instigating King Jing, which made King Jing become what he is now. The reason why he became so greedy was all his fault, and he begged the eldest princess to punish him and let King Jing go. She said as she kowtowed vigorously.

Jian Huaizhen didn't expect that Xia would suddenly jump out to intercede with Zhu Jianchen, but she was slightly stunned, feeling that she had lost her eyes to Xia.

Xia Li, as Zhu Jianshen's concubine, was obviously arranged by Zhu Jianchen to Zhu Jianshen's side, and she was able to be so loyal and infatuated with Zhu Jianchen, which is also commendable.

Jian Huaizhen was silent.

And at this time, Zhu Jianchen said to Xia Li: "It's okay, you don't have to help this king intercede." In short, this king has fallen to this point, and this king is also to blame, and it has nothing to do with other people. When he had said that, he went to Laxia.

And at this time, Xia glanced at King Jing, the two of them seemed to have a good heart, and they seemed to have been ready for a long time, and they took two steps back together, and at this time, the floor suddenly turned over, and the two of them fell down together.

And at this time, the floor was closed again, as if nothing had happened just now, but Xia Lili and King Jing Zhu Jianchen were gone.

Seeing this situation, Jian Huaizhen was taken aback, her face changed miserably, she knew that she had fallen for Xia and Zhu Jianchen's tricks.

Presumably, Zhu Jianchen had already sent someone to make a mechanism here, which was used when he was fleeing for his life, so he deliberately knelt down and begged himself just now, so that Zhu Jianchen could also come here, and the two of them would easily fall off the floor and escape together.

Presumably there must be a tunnel leading to the outside of the palace, Jian Huaizhen thought about it, and when he was deciding what to do, Ji Qihan had already walked in with Luo Kailing.

When Luo Kailing saw Jian Huaizhen, he hurriedly saluted her, bowed and said, "The eldest princess, all the traitors outside have been caught. ”

Jian Huaizhen thought for a while and said to him: "King Jing Zhu Jianchen has escaped through the tunnel just now, and he is the tunnel from here. If the palace is not mistaken, this tunnel must lead to the outside of the palace, you should immediately send someone to investigate, no matter what, you must arrest King Jing Zhu Jianchen. ”

"Yes, Princess." After Luo Kailing finished speaking, he hurriedly led his troops to chase after him.

Jian Huaizhen walked in front of Fang Yu at this time, and she saw Fang Yu squatting on the ground full of sadness, looking at Tang Xuanran.

Tang Jingran's face had already turned as white as blood, and her body was also a little stiff, Jian Huaizhen also felt a pain in her heart, during this time, she had lost Ling Luo and Tang Jingran, two people who were not relatives but were better than relatives, and the pain in her heart was really difficult to suppress.

Despite this, she still had to comfort Fang Liao, because she knew that at this time, it was not her who was the saddest in her heart, and Fang Liao, she said softly to Fang Xiao: "Brother Fang, things have come to this point, you can mourn by the way." ”

Fang Xiao didn't say a word, just looked at the startled dye quietly, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, she is still young, I didn't expect it, but she left before us." Let us send white-haired people to black-haired people, how can we be embarrassed? ”

Jian Huaizhen's face showed a hint of guilt and said, "If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, if it wasn't for me, I wouldn't have chosen this road of no return." All in all, in a word, I hurt her. At this, she had a sad look on her face.

Fang Yu turned his face away, looked at her, shook his head, then hugged Tang Jingran and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Sister Princess, I'll go first, I'm going to take Jingran to her mother's grave to be buried together." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "Okay." So she quietly watched Fang Yu leave with Tang in her arms.

An invisible pain gradually spread in her heart, this matter is all her fault in the final analysis, if she hadn't believed Zhu Jianchen from the beginning, maybe it wouldn't have been to get to this point, and now, although a storm has disappeared invisibly, the loss is still unpredictable.

She stood there in a daze, thinking in her heart, and when she was thinking about something, Jiang Shaoheng walked up to her and said to her softly: "Princess sister, you should mourn by the way, let's go and see the emperor." ”

Hearing Jiang Shaoheng's reminder, Jian Huaizhen suddenly remembered someone, the emperor, yes, how is the emperor now?

Jian Huaizhen nodded hurriedly, and went to see the emperor with Jiang Shaoheng and others, they came to the Qianqing Palace, and when they arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, Gu Leng's opinion was that Jian Huaizhen, Jiang Shaoheng and others hurriedly knelt down and asked Jian Huaizhen for peace.

Jian Huaizhen shook his head and asked him, "How is the emperor?" ”
