This year's Halloween Festival is celebrated by the whole country. People are telling about the feats and achievements of Emperor Jingrun, the imperial drive to conquer Dali and Bodu, and the ashes of the canopy were annihilated while talking and laughing, so as to realize the unification of the Central Plains. Internally, water conservancy was built, and agriculture, industry and commerce were developed. Although the war continued, the lives of the people were like one day at a time.

The people of Li are nothing more than living and working in peace and contentment, with good land at home and money to spare at the end of the year. As for the treacherous situation in the court, they are just talking about it after dinner.

On this day, there were many people inside and outside the palace, and there was an endless stream of people who came to celebrate their birthdays. Chen Yin was responsible for receiving the female dependents, and Yin Jingchen was very leisurely, staying with Shangguan Ying, Chu Yunxi, Li Yunni and others.

The children also got acquainted with each other. Among them, Feng'er was the most popular, and they all pestered him to ask him for swordsmanship. Feng'er doesn't dislike them, it's rare to have so many younger brothers and sisters to play with him. At home, no one plays in one place, most of them are alone.

Shangguan Jun invited the ministers, Shangguan Han, and Guan Liren sat with him. Dong Yulin sat in the seat of 100 officials, bored, and there was no one to talk to. Some people also wanted to befriend him, and they were also quite curious about his deeds, but he was the only person who could compete with the emperor of the current dynasty, and even now, he is also the person the emperor has to watch out for everywhere. But because Dong Yulin looked like he was not approaching, he was discouraged.

On the Wanshou Festival three years ago, Shangguan Ying came back alone, and it was at his behest. He didn't come back, but everything that happened here, and even how she confronted Shangguan Jun was clear to him. Now that he thinks about it, he realizes that Shangguan Ying's difficulty is not easy. Thinking of her, Dong Yulin smiled unconsciously, and became more and more childlike.

In fact, thinking about it, he really regretted what he did to her at the beginning, he thought that he couldn't get into her heart, and he thought that her kindness to him was all out of use. Dong Yulin picked up the wine glass and drank it all. It's a bit unpleasant. It was indeed him who lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Fortunately, it was still too late. He will spend his life making up for the mistakes he has made.

He saw Chen Mao's extreme flattery. Guan Liren's indifference, Shangguan Han's smile hid a knife. He went to see Shangguan Jun again, and he found that he was also watching him. The moment the four looked at each other, Dong Yulin raised his wine glass to signal, and Shangguan Jun also raised his glass. Both of them drank it all.

He figured that this position was indeed suitable for him to sit in. He also always believed that he would be a good emperor, but unfortunately the two could not become friends.

Just when the chips are staggered and the bell is ringing. Listen to each other, there is an urgent recital outside. All the ministers were shocked, and the folds handed over at such a time must be a big deal.

Everyone whispered and held their breath. I saw Shangguan Jun holding the fold handed by the eunuch and frowning, and then it was obviously more and more serious.

Even Shangguan Han and Guan Liren did not ask out loud. At this moment, the hall was extremely quiet. Everyone is at risk, and intuition is not a good thing. Dong Yulin looked like he didn't care about himself. Lazily drinking.

Shangguan Jun looked around at everyone, not angry, he cleared his throat, "I have received the news from General Li from Dali. ”

The people below whispered, didn't they catch the murderer?

"General Li has found out the murderer who designed the murder of General Fang and his wife, and he has not reported it because he has not found the person in charge behind the scenes. Now, the emperor has lived up to his wishes, and General Li has finally found evidence. ”

At this moment, even Shangguan Han and Guan Liren were stunned, didn't they say Lu Ming at the beginning, could it be someone else?

Shangguan Jun said slowly: "It is true that the person who designed to provoke the war between Nanzhao and my Central Plains was Lu Ming, but the main messenger behind it is in this Chengqian Hall today. ”

The ministers were discussing, who ate the ambition leopard gall, this is a hurtful thing.

Shangguan Jun didn't give anyone time to prepare, and shouted: "Dong Yulin, I ask you, when did Lu Ming leave Bodu and where did he go?" ”

The ministers were shocked, Dong Yulin? At the beginning, it was rumored that Lu Ming went to Bodu, but now it seems that it is true. Everyone sweated for him.

Dong Yulin was not in a hurry, got up and accosted: "Your Majesty, Lu Ming used to be in Bo, but then he left, as for where he went, the minister really doesn't know." After he left, we stopped contacting each other. ”

Shangguan Jun took the case: "When he was in Bodu, why didn't he report it?" ”

Dong Yulin didn't answer, why didn't he report it at the beginning, he knew it. Do you want to involve Jing Chen?

Who can convince you alone?"

"What does the emperor mean?" Dong Yulin is neither humble nor arrogant. He was frank, he didn't do anything wrong, and he was fearless.

Shangguan Jun was furious, he didn't expect him to be so calm, "You colluded with Lu Ming with the intention of subverting the royal power." Do you admit it? ”

Dong Yulin smiled, "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." Although Chen and Lu Ming are like brothers, we have been strangers since Bodu surrendered. I don't know where the emperor got the evidence? ”

"Do you think I'm wronging you?" Shangguan Jun drank vigorously. Murderous intent in his eyes.

"The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative, but if someone wants to die tonight, the minister will not survive tomorrow morning. But if you haven't done it, you haven't done it. ”

"Dong Yulin, you are so bold..... Come on, take Dong Yulin down to me. Shangguan Jun was furious. The guards responded and entered, and Dong Yulin did not resist. The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, he is not guilty, and what will Shangguan Jun use to convict him.

Guan Liren left the table and knelt down: "Your Majesty, think twice." This matter needs to be considered in the long term. ”

Shangguan Han also seconded it, and the rest of the people, including those who admired Dong Yulin's personality, also seconded it, but Shangguan Jun didn't give them a chance.

"This matter has been decided, and the intercessor is regarded as a colleague." No one dared to speak again.

Dong Yulin smiled, and before leaving, he threw away such a sentence: "If I had listened to Lu Ming's words, it would not have been like this." It seems that I still think that you are too simple. ”

Shangguan Jun was furious, Dong Yulin didn't take him seriously from beginning to end, he clenched his fists, and the humiliation of being trapped at the beginning was like a punch in his face. It's hot and uncomfortable.

The hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and he still did not feel at ease after receiving Dong Yulin's military power. Dong Yulin is *, even if his wings are broken, he will still have the day when he spreads his wings and flies high. He can't allow that to happen again. The path of kingship does not allow for the benevolence of his woman.

Jing Chen and the others were eating in the Queen's Palace, and a few children were also there, which seemed very lively. But I don't know who accidentally touched Shangguan Ying at the table, she was not careful and dropped the cup. She frowned slightly. I feel a little uncomfortable.

Chu Yunxi gently patted her hand and was not in the way, it was broken. Shangguan Ying smiled reluctantly.

When a few people were chatting, Dong Yulin's entourage hurriedly came and was stopped by the guards of the queen's palace. Hearing the commotion outside, Jing Chen told Mama Li to go out and have a look, but before he could go out, he broke in.

plopped down and knelt down: "Princess, something happened to the prince." ”

Shangguan Ying was shocked, and he didn't hold the cup that was shaking in his hand, and fell to the ground and shattered. "What's going on?" The voices were all trembling.

Chu Yunxi helped her, and she almost fell. Jing Chen also came over and asked, "What's wrong?" “

"The emperor ordered the prince to be locked up, and the specific things are not clear."

"What?" Jing Chen couldn't help frowning. As he spoke, he was about to go to the Chengqian Palace, but was stopped by Li Yuni.

"It's too late tomorrow, and now that there are so many people, isn't this even more difficult to ride a tiger?"

What Li Yuni said was not unreasonable, and Chu Yunxi also nodded in agreement.

"The second brother must know the inside story, I'm going to ask the second brother." Shangguan Ying's six gods have no owner. The little persimmon beside him looked at his mother in a panic, and he also became uncomfortable, but he was still too young to do anything.

"Xiaoyu, you go to the Chengqian Palace, and when you see the second prince, you must bring him here anyway, and say that the princess is waiting for her here." Jing Chen instructed the little girl beside him.

Xiao Yu nodded and left in a hurry. This sudden event swept away everyone's interest. Shangguan Ying thought that Dong Yulin had said something unpleasant that made Shangguan Jun unhappy, and he couldn't get off the stage in front of everyone, so he had to punish him.

But when Shangguan Han came, she knew that things were not as simple as she imagined.

Shangguan Ying was in tears, looking incredulous. "Second brother, he won't, what he wants has always been captured by Zhengda Guangming, if he had that heart, he wouldn't accompany me back to the capital. If he coveted the imperial power, he would not have given you a chance to negotiate peace in Bodu in the first place. ”

Dong Yulin's leeway, Yin Jingchen is very clear, although her heart is inevitably sad the moment she hears that Lu Ming is the murderer of Wutong, but from the bottom of her heart, she still doesn't want to be any of them, even if it is Lu Ming, she can't accept it.

She was just stunned, immersed in the sadness of Wutong's death, Li Yuni supported her and comforted her gently. And Shangguan Ying obviously didn't believe it.

"I want to see the third brother, I don't believe it, is this his plan again, at the beginning, he ....." Shangguan Ying choked up, speechless, she thought that the past would pass without mentioning it, but now when she mentions it again, it is like hurting her muscles and bones, and it hurts her like a needle prick.

"Three years ago, I went back to the capital, and the third brother didn't agree with me to go back to Bodu, and then I thought about it, I thought it was because of the child in the womb, he couldn't bear to have a father, I thought he was considerate of my sister..... Which into thought. ”

Everyone listened to her with bated breath, and Shangguan Ying said that tears fell from her heart. Once the scabbed wound is torn open, it hurts the heart. Originally, she wanted to keep this secret under her cover, but now she has to muster up the courage to face it again.

"The day before I returned to Bodu, everyone knew that the third brother called me to the Chengqian Palace, and outsiders thought it was my brother's concern for my sister, but in fact, he didn't say anything, just asked me to take good care of myself, and then asked me to help bring a letter to Chen Mao for Concubine Yinshu."

The little persimmon ran to her side and stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, but I don't know if his hands were too small, or she shed too many tears, before he could finish wiping, her tears flowed out again, this is the last time Dong Xiao saw his mother cry in his memory.
