Chu Luoyi walked alone on the way back to the palace, but there were waves in her heart, if what Xiang Yu said was true, then it also meant that she and Qingxue were just a chess piece on someone else's chessboard, each wielding a sword, but it was just for the love and hate of others.

Chu Luoyi was in turmoil for a while, she had never thought that Qingxue had betrayed her, and there was no reason for this betrayal, but today's words of Xiang Yu made her wake up suddenly, if the destruction of the Yu Mansion that she thought of was from the hands of Ouyang Qiancheng and Qingxue? So who did what happened to the light snow?

Ouyang Qiancheng?

Chu Luoyi murmured softly in her heart, could it be that Ouyang Qiancheng single-handedly designed her and Qingxue to use the power of the Chen Mansion to get rid of the Chu family?

Chu Luoyi's heart was very chaotic, and the truth was peeled back and surfaced little by little. It's just that she suddenly found that behind these loves and hates she was for, it didn't seem to be what she thought.

Returning to the Linglong Palace, after tossing and turning for a long time, Chu Luoyi gradually fell asleep.

When Xiao Xiangyu returned to the dormitory, he was very frightened, Ouyang Qiancheng was teasing the child in the courtyard.

"Why hasn't Xianggong rested yet?" Xiang Yu hid the panic in his eyes.

Ouyang Qiancheng didn't look up and just said: "Bao'er has been shouting for his mother, the nurse can't coax him, and you're not here, so I'll come over to play with him." ”

Xiang Yu saw that he didn't ask, so he breathed a sigh of relief, sat next to the round case, and quietly watched Ouyang Qiancheng running and playing with the child.

The cheeks that have always been peaceful are full of smiles, and the eyes that look at the child are also with rare gentleness.

Xiang Yu poured himself a cup of tea and quietly watched the scene in front of him.

"Daddy.. Father.. Riding a big horse.. Bao'er wants to ride a big horse..."The soft child blinked his smart eyes and stretched out his hands to Ouyang Qiancheng.

Ouyang Qiancheng chuckled, held the child's armpits with both hands, and directly put him on his shoulders and straddled his neck: "Okay, let's ride a big horse." ”

"I can't do it... Your Highness.. You're the Prince... How can .." Seeing this, Xiang Yu was in a hurry.

"Bao'er, come down quickly, don't mess around." Xiang Yu hurriedly set his eyes on the naughty child.

'Cluck..' The little child just grinned, not knowing what he was afraid of.

"It doesn't matter, he is my son, I am his father, what His Highness is not His Highness." Ouyang Qiancheng opened his mouth unconcernedly.

"Drive! Drive! The naughty child's little hand slapped Ouyang Qiancheng's shoulder, and he couldn't close his mouth happily.

Xiang Yu saw that he was persuaded not to move, so he sat down again.

Looking at this scene of harmony, Xiang Yu's hand holding the handkerchief tightened slightly, did he really want to kill Ouyang Qiancheng? If you kill him, Bao'er won't have a father...

Looking at the child's bright eyes, Xiang Yu's heart sank a little.

Thinking about it carefully, although he didn't understand the affairs of the court, he rarely heard of Ouyang Qiancheng's murderous and brutal nature, could it really be because he had an indelible hatred with the Chu family?

Xiang Yu's heart was a little shaken, she thought, now that Luo Yi is still alive, can she not have to avenge her anymore...

Regardless of love or hate, just like that, with Ouyang Qiancheng, I watched Bao'er grow up healthier and happier day by day, becoming a handsome son, and Yushu was in the wind.

After a long time, the child was a little tired, Ouyang Qiancheng hugged the child, put him to sleep and handed him to the nurse, looked at Xiang Yu and said, "It's late at night, you should rest early." ”

Xiang Yu nodded, didn't speak again, sent Ouyang Qiancheng away, and sat alone for a long time.

Early the next morning, when Chu Luoyi got up to comb his hair, Xiao Liuzi hurriedly ran in: "Master, Your Majesty Tanglin... Died...."

Chu Luoyi's hand combing his hair paused, and the white jade comb slowly fell.

After all, I went.

He lowered his eyes and said softly, "It's a good thing that you die and die on the same day." ”

Xiao Liuzi was now on the side, hanging his head and not speaking.

Chu Luoyi's heart was inexplicably a little melancholy, there were too many things that had happened in the past few days.

Looking at the bronze mirror in front of him, Chu Luoyi remembered the words of the old emperor that day, it turned out that it was indeed as he said, it was not a threat, but just a request from a dying person.

I think it's because Beiliuhai has benevolence and righteousness, and the old emperor is afraid that he will be a mermaid, so he hopes that she can stay by Beiliuhai's side.

She knew that the old emperor's time was numbered, but she didn't expect this day to come so suddenly, so quickly, that people were caught off guard, but when she thought about it, everything had a precursor.

"How's the situation in the main hall?" Chu Luoyi sped up her movements, and the palace maid on the side quickly put on a long black dress for her and combed her simple hair in a bun.

"The crown prince is presiding over the funeral, and King Wujun has been kneeling in front of the old emperor's bed and refusing to leave."

With a few plain white silver hairpins inserted, Chu Luoyi walked quickly to the old emperor's bedroom.

When he arrived at the old emperor's dormitory, there were heavy guards outside the Yonghe Palace, and the number of patrolling guards had also increased significantly, and the original red silk was now white, and the sky above the palace was filled with inexplicable tension and sadness.

"The prince is in the main hall?" Chu Luoyi stood behind the bushes outside the dormitory and said in a cold voice.

Xiao Liuzi nodded and said, "The prince has been busy in the main hall, and he has never come to the Yonghe Hall to see the old emperor. ”

A touch of coldness flashed in Chu Luoyi's eyes: "? I think I'm afraid that someone will rob him of the throne! ”

Xiao Liuzi didn't speak, followed Chu Luoyi's gaze, looked at the ministers and concubines who were constantly entering the Yonghe Palace, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes: "Do the princes and the king of Yangshan have soldiers and horses stationed nearby?" ”

Xiao Liuzi immediately replied: "General Kangshu has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, stationed at the north gate of the imperial city, Captain Ma Rong is in charge of 10,000 patrol soldiers in Gyeonggi, and Zuo Yi is in charge..."

Xiao Liuzi reported quickly, Chu Luoyi also quickly calculated in his heart, and when Xiao Liuzi's voice fell, he immediately made an order: "Immediately mobilize 5,000 soldiers from Gyeonggi to enter the palace, and 5,000 strictly guard the gates of the imperial city, until Beiliuhai ascends the throne, no one is allowed to leave the city." ”

"Minions understand."

"Let Kangshu's 30,000 soldiers and horses be on standby at any time, and if the prince and the king of Yangshan have any changes, they will report at any time." Chu Luoyi said in a deep voice.

Xiao Liuzi nodded, and Chu Luoyi looked at him sideways: "Do everything carefully, without the holy decree and the prince's dictation, it is very difficult to blockade the imperial city, if necessary, you can use all your strength." ”

"Don't worry, master, the slave understands."

"The gates of the city must be guarded so that not even a pigeon can be released!" Chu Luoyi instructed again.

Xiao Liuzi nodded with a serious expression.

Chu Luoyi paused for a moment, looked at the sky, and said softly, "What if you use fireworks to send a message?" ”

Xiao Liuzi was silent, Chu Luoyi said lightly in his heart, he could only compete with the prince for time, if he won, everything will be calm, and if he loses, he will be ruined, and a big war will break out in Tanglin! Even a war will break out on an entire continent!

The little sixth son left in a hurry, Chu Luoyi looked at the overcrowded Yonghe Palace, and a touch of coldness rose in his heart, since this poison was caused by the prince, presumably the prince must have a good idea of the death of the old emperor, and most of the people who came to worship were people who were heartfelt to the old emperor, if the expectation was good, the prince would not let these people who entered the Yonghe Hall come out again!

According to Beiliuhai's temperament, she must be in great grief at this moment, and she is afraid that she will not have time to take care of the changes in the situation, so she can only temporarily dispatch troops and horses to sneak into the palace, so that these people in the Yonghe Palace will not be trapped here all the time.

Once the soldiers and horses are mobilized, the prince will inevitably notice something, and once the prince finds out that something is wrong, he will inevitably send someone to notify the army stationed outside the city and deploy troops, so that the imperial city is in danger.

Therefore, we must strictly guard the imperial city, and resolutely not let the prince's men and horses get in touch with the soldiers and horses outside the city, only in this way can Beiliuhai restrain the prince before the arrival of the army.

Once the killing of the crown prince and the king of Yangshan is successful, the wood has been completed, and the army outside the city will naturally return to the Beiliuhai.

After calculating the time, Chu Luoyi also entered the Yonghe Palace.

There was a lot of sorrow in the Yonghe Palace, many of the ministers of the humerus cried bitterly, and several concubines were also lonely, with a death-like silence in their eyes.

Beiliuhai knelt beside the bed, holding the old emperor's hand tightly with one hand, his face was constantly washed by tears, and his eyes were red and swollen like walnuts: "Grandpa.. Grandpa.."

Chu Luoyi looked at this scene and stood quietly aside.

The old emperor was lying quietly on the golden dragon bed, and it was hard to think that he was still sitting high on the dragon chair yesterday, watching a song and dance.

The old emperor's face is very serene, with a touch of relief, the corners of his mouth are shallow smiles, there is no resentment, no hatred, some are just pity and tolerance for the world, accept all tribulations, forgive all betrayal, leniency and benevolence, wisdom and indifference, perhaps the best portrayal of his life.

He did not make great achievements for Tanglin, nor did he carry forward the foundation of his ancestors, but no one would deny that he was a good emperor, a loving and benevolent emperor.

The old man's thin hand was tightly held in Beiliuhai's hand, he never thought that last night's meeting would be the last meeting, if he knew.. If you know... He will not leave him half a step...

The old man's muttering advice is still vivid, and the thin hand caresses his hair just yesterday, but it is only one night, but it is separated by yin and yang, how can he not feel heartache!

The father-in-law, who had served the old emperor for half his life, stood aside, sighed softly, saw Chu Luoyi's figure, and slowly walked to her side and said softly: "The first emperor called me to his side last night, knowing that his life is short, and he also knows that King Wujun must be heartbroken, and he hopes that the princess can comfort the prince more." ”

Chu Luoyi bowed: "I will." ”

The father-in-law said again: "The first emperor said that fate is reluctant, although he hopes that you can always stay by the prince's side, but if you want to leave, you don't have to worry about the prince, the prince will not be a burden to you at any time." ”

Chu Luoyi's gaze fell on the man beside the bed, and he said, "I understand." ”

The father-in-law then took the dust back to the old emperor's bedside.

Your Majesty, the servants have done everything you asked, and I believe that the prince and the princess will definitely get rid of the crown prince and the king of Yangshan and avenge you.

You have been sympathetic to the people all your life, and you have been lenient to your people, how could you die at the hands of your own son...
