Chapter 117: Catching Turtles in an Urn

The next day, in Chang'an Palace, the white marble steps shimmered in the sun, Hongyi retreated and climbed the steps backwards, and behind him, a man hurriedly chased after him.

"His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Hongyi turned around, and saw that the person who came was the staff of the East Palace, he paused, frowned, and said: "Xuancheng has something important to do to find this king?" ”

Xuan Cheng raised his eyes, looked straight at Hongyi, and shook his head and sighed frequently.

"Xuan Cheng, what do you mean by making Xuan Xuan, don't forget your identity."

"Your Highness, do you want to talk about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister?" Xuan Cheng bowed his hand and said lightly: "The lower official greets His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”

Hongyi's brows were tightly locked, and he was quite unhappy with Xuancheng's contempt.

"Your Highness is now dissatisfied with the attitude of the lower officials, don't forget, to win the hearts of the people in the world first, the throne obtained by killing the brother and rebelling, in addition to the coercion of force, how many people will be happy and convinced."

"Xuancheng, what do you say, this king led the troops back to the dynasty this time, sharing the worries of his father and brother, why did he kill his brother and conspire against him, this king respects your talent, but he doesn't want to recruit people!" Hongyi coldly reprimanded.

"Then dare to ask Your Highness, what does it mean that the assassin sent to infiltrate the room last night and poison the prince to plot against the prince?"

"How did this king do this, Xuan Cheng, don't be unbelievable!"

"The white jade cup has now been sent to Miyagi, and the imperial doctor has detected that it is stained with poison."

"But so what, why do you accuse this matter of being ordered by this king!" Hongyi clenched his palms, although he planned to return to Beijing to compete with the prince, he never thought of poisoning and plotting.

He and his brother have been in brotherhood for more than 20 years, and they have fought side by side on the battlefield, leaving their backs to the people they trust the most, how could he really kill the killer.

If the crown prince ascends the throne, he may be imprisoned, and his life will be in danger.

If he ascended the throne himself, he would demote the crown prince to a commoner, distribute it to the frontier, and his descendants would not be allowed to return to Beijing.

Therefore, instead of passively being deprived of military rights, it is better to swim against the current and take advantage of the situation to compete for the world.

The crown prince is just a few years older than him, in terms of strength, in terms of merit, he will never lose to the prince, in terms of character, he is not willing to live under others, and even died at the hands of his brother. Only when he ascends the throne himself can he avoid bloody killings and the world is peaceful.

If he relied on poisoning and plotting to win, he would have already started, why wait until the class teacher returns to the dynasty now, if his father is angry, he will inevitably take advantage of this to withdraw his military power.

Thinking of the half of the talisman in his hand, it was very strange that it was missing, could it be?

Hongyi turned to look at Xuan Cheng, could it be that this was a game they had set up, deliberately slandering themselves for poisoning the prince?

Now that the ministers in the court support the prince account for the majority, Hongyi also sent people to win over those officials in private, if the prince claims to the outside world that he assassinated and killed his relatives, he will undoubtedly fall into a situation of unkindness, injustice, disloyalty and filial piety.

No, he has to sneak into the East Palace tonight and find out.

"Yo, why hasn't the second brother returned to the house yet, it's been almost a month since you returned to Beijing this time, and you haven't gone to Haoxuan Mansion to sit down." Qi Wang Haoxuan suddenly stepped forward and broke Hongyi's contemplation.

"Xiaguan greets His Royal Highness King Qi!" Xuan Cheng bowed his head and bowed.

"Xuancheng, please get up quickly, you don't have to kneel when you see this king in the future."

"It turned out to be the third brother." Hongyi looked at the man behind him and said with a gentle smile, "I heard that you want to set up a side concubine recently, which girl did you fancy this time?" ”

"It's the one in the East Palace." Hao Xuan hinted tacitly.

"You have such a temperament, you know that your father and Emperor Long's body has been unsafe recently, not to mention that she is a singer of Qin Huaihe, and now she wants to be included in the mansion, it is difficult!"

"Then the second brother wants to posthumously crown the third lady of the Changsun Mansion as the princess of Qin, this kind of absurd thing has been agreed to by the father and the emperor, and it is impossible to interfere with the matter of wanting to set up a side concubine."

"The third brother should know that the concubine in your house is the daughter of a hussar general, and this concubine is only half a year old, how can he allow you to marry a new love now. Don't forget, the general guards the border, which is very important, don't make trouble for a woman. ”

"What about the second brother, who insists on making a dead woman a concubine, Haoxuan is beyond his reach. If the second brother really wants to get the support of the eldest grandson's mansion, why don't you just marry the eldest grandson Huairou and enter the mansion? Haoxuan heard that the Huairou girl was beautiful and dusty, and she was the first beauty in Luoyang, but unfortunately in the eyes of the second brother, she couldn't compare to a dead person! ”

"Haoxuan, you've said it!" Hongyi's cold eyes reprimanded, and his right fist slammed on the bridge railing, blood burst out, and the white marble was crimson dotted.

"You have changed" Hao Xuan looked at him in disbelief, Hongyi was like a god of war in his mind, holding a spear majestic, leading thousands of troops and horses to pacify the troubled times, killing and daring, but for the sake of a woman who was not outstanding, he was a gentle mess.

He always calmly solves the crisis, survives in the worst environment, has been on the battlefield for a long time, and is used to licking blood on the blade. In the face of others, he will always unconsciously show his defensiveness.

However, it was such a man who took off his guard for the sake of the woman and lost his mind.

As long as he hurts that woman, he will pay it back!

"Am I changing?" Hongyi muttered to himself, the short time he had been with Yinyin was the happiest time of his life.

At that time, how much he longed that he was just the son of an ordinary family, who could grow old with his beloved, and his life was plain and carefree. Until Otoin's death pulls him back to a nightmarish reality.

Why did the battle for the throne involve her?

It was he who was wrong, wrong in the first place. He shouldn't have proposed to the eldest grandson's mansion at this time, pushing Yinyin to the storm of killing.

I can't imagine that the prince would use such a despicable method to deal with himself, very good, you are now using poisoning to deceive the world, this king wants to see what tricks you are playing!

"Third brother, there are still important matters to discuss in my brother's mansion, take the first step and leave!" After Hongyi finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

"Eh, why did you leave?"

"His Royal Highness King Qi, the prince is invited, I want His Royal Highness to gather in the East Palace tonight, and a good show will be staged." Xuan Cheng lowered his eyes and smiled.

"It's interesting, it's so mysterious, and the eldest brother also has a heart."

Hyun Sung looked at Hongyi's back as he left, smiling without saying a word.

At night, Tanluo, Nanfeng, and Linyuan sit under the tree to enjoy the coolness, and the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the moment is a beautiful day.

Since Tan Luo left the world of cultivating immortals, she has gradually adapted to life in the East Palace, and compared with her previous academic career, she is now simply leisurely and degenerate.

At the beginning, in order to become an introductory disciple of the Shengtian Sect, he worked hard every day to practice. Now as the porter of the bath water of the masters, she was shocked to find that there was fat around her waist.

Maybe it's because of the high labor intensity and pressure in the past, but now after the load is reduced, the little meat will begin to rebound, no, she has to start dieting!

After swallowing the tenth piece of pastry, a certain woman thought hatefully.

The so-called food is full of lust, and after Tan Luo kept destroying the plate of osmanthus cake, he suddenly felt that his skin was about to jump.

She clapped her little hands, got up and said cautiously: "Ladies and gentlemen, I still have a pastime tonight, so I will not accompany you anymore." ”

"Wait!" Nan Feng tugged at the hem of her clothes, raised her eyes and sneered, "I have heard that the cats in the palace will sneak out every night to beg for fun, is Brother Tan a cat?" ”

Lin Yuanxu lowered his eyebrows seriously and pondered: "When Nan Feng said this, it is indeed so godlike. ”

"Go, don't take me to open the brush, you just have something to do tonight and need to go out for a walk, you two keep your mouth shut, especially you, Linyuan!"

Tan Luo rolled up her sleeves and was about to turn over the tile, just at this moment, a figure flashed away in the dark night, so fast that it was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

Assassins? She frowned, could it be that the assassin who poisoned him last night had infiltrated the East Palace again?

"Brother Tan, why are you so serious?" Nanfeng then got up and looked at the dark night sky.

"Nannan, do you want to be rewarded with real money by the prince?" Tan Luo suddenly asked rhetorically.

Seeing that the two people next to her were obviously not in a state, she hooked her fingers and whispered: "I just saw an assassin break in, go, my lord will take you to reward you for meritorious deeds and capture the assassin alive!" ”

"It's better to report to the Praetorian Guard for this kind of thing." Nan Feng retreated, if he could catch the assassin, would he squat in the palace as a handyman.

"I also agree, this matter is extraordinary, and it is not good to startle the snake." Lin Yuan spoke solemnly.

"You stupid!" Tan Luo hated that iron could not become steel, "This is the beauty of silver falling from the sky, don't worry, follow the uncle, you two only have a few shares of silver, and then you stand by and watch." ”

Nan Feng and Lin Yuan looked at each other, although they had seen this Brother Tan's innate divine power, they didn't know that he was in thin hands.

Under the shroud of darkness, Tan Luo grabbed Nanfeng with one hand and Lin Yuan with the other, and was about to jump onto the red wall.

"Brother Tan let go of me, I still don't have a problem with light work!" Lin Yuan made a fuss, and his posture at this time was very strange.

"Get in the way!" Tan Luo grabbed the two of them, and immediately flew up into the air, flying against the wind, and drifted to Jingren Palace, where the prince lived, in the night.

At the same time, King Haoxuan of Qi, King Anyan of Teng and Princess Yi Yao were introduced by Gonggong Liu to Jingren Palace to "watch the play".

"I said Gonggong Liu, isn't the eldest brother rumored to be poisoned and in a coma, is he in danger, what kind of trouble are you making here?" Hao Xuan heard that the East Palace had infiltrated the assassins and secretly poisoned the prince.

"If you want me to see, the emperor's trick is called luring the snake out of the hole, first let the words to confuse the other party, these nights, they will definitely send someone to investigate the truth, and then, come to catch the turtle in the urn." Yi Yao's face was full of determination.

"The eldest brother's fox is cunning and cunning, but this king wants to see who can't help but attack him." The fifth prince, An Yan, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

In the woods, Tan Luo dragged Lin Yuan and Nan Feng, quietly waiting near Jingren Palace, and from here, you can clearly see the wind and grass below.

"You guys stay here for a long time, if the assassin appears, I will rush down to capture it first, Lin Yuan will take Nanfeng to follow, and remember to ask for credit when you see the prince appear!"

"Good brother, it's up to you to do this." Nan Feng was moved.

Tan Luo made a silent gesture and opened her pupils to look around.

At this moment, a black shadow swept rapidly and landed gently on the roof tiles opposite.

Tan Luo flew over, took advantage of his unpreparedness to clasp the other party's right shoulder, and clenched his palm, the man only felt that his arm was sore, and he had no power to fight back!
