After the two of them developed murderous intentions, Puyang immediately sent someone to send a secret letter to the empress of Kyoto. It contained a bottle of poison prepared in advance and how to use it on the prince.

Puyang seems to have reached some kind of deal with the queen, and in short, soon the two of them heard the news from Beijing that the crown prince suddenly fell ill and was unconscious all day. The emperor was taken aback, and he sought famous doctors everywhere but failed to cure him.

At this time, Lu Shangshu and Puyang Haokun had no opponents to obstruct, so they operated in the shadows, quietly taking back part of the forcibly dispatched troops.

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, you are really far-reaching, the old slave admires and admires." Lu Shangshu saluted Pu Yang, as if he really admired the other party, Pu Yang's handling of this matter was as good as the prince's secret trick against them.

"Shang Shu said that he laughed, the younger generation just made a fool of himself in front of you, and he never dared to take the word admiration." Pu Yang narrowed a pair of narrow phoenix eyes and smiled slightly, but his smile was always stained with some gloomy feeling for some reason.

In fact, the relationship between Lu Shangshu and Puyang Haokun is also quite delicate, and the opportunity for them to join forces is because they have a common difficult enemy. In fact, these two people usually pretend to be humble and polite, respect the old and love the young, but in fact, what they say is not the same as what they sit in their hearts. Pu Yang's personality is cold, sinister, disgusting, and deep, I don't know how many people have suffered because of their contempt for him; The other is an old fox who seems to be a loyal minister on the surface, but in fact he has been crawling in the officialdom for many years, and he never knows what he is thinking.

These two people joined forces, but they were wary of each other, for example, this incident of poisoning the prince, although Lu Shangshu proposed it first, he didn't interfere at all when it was actually implemented, which reflects his old scheming, and the four princes dare to calculate.

Pu Yang stared at Lu Shangshu's kind smiling face for a long time, and said with a cold smile: "Lord Shangshu, we are allies, grasshoppers tied to a boat." So Shangshu nodded hurriedly, only nodding vaguely in line with his opinion, seeing that Puyang was sneering in his heart.

Seeing that the blade between the two was gradually revealed, although they were both drinking, they drank in a very depressing atmosphere. At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the army, and Pu Yang was taken aback when he heard the sound, and stood up from the chair and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Shangshu was also shocked, and when the two of them came out of the house, they saw that many officers and soldiers were suddenly surrounded outside, and they were still holding knives and guns in their hands. The army of Lu Shangshu and others almost fought with the uninvited guests, but Lu Shangshu suddenly shouted: "Stop me!" ”

Only the Lu family's army stopped, and the soldiers on Puyang's side were still on guard, but Puyang's face changed slightly after noticing the clothing of the strange army, and he waved his hand and his army unwillingly put down his ordnance.

They all recognized who it was, and at this time, the elite army in the capital was generally only commanded by members of the royal family, and the current leader of this army was the current saint.

Puyang was originally a member of the royal family, so he would not recognize which force this was, and Lu Shangshu, as an old fox, of course had heard of this army. The reason why the two made the soldiers give up resistance was because they were afraid of the authority behind these soldiers.

"Lu Shangshu, the fourth prince, forgive me for offending a lot." The man at the head of the army said with a cold face, and his unkind expression made both of them jump slightly in their hearts. What's going on?

The man didn't care what the reaction of the two was, he just said coldly: "The last general is now on the order of the saint, come to bring the four princes to reply = Jing, and other unrelated people must not be stopped, otherwise don't blame the end of the general is not welcome." ”

As soon as these words came out, the first to be stunned was Puyang Haokun, whose handsome and cold face showed a stunned look for the first time, which looked extremely rare. Originally, Lu Shangshu was still kneeling on the ground and sweating, and he seemed to be stunned when he heard that he didn't care about him, and then his face showed great joy.

Although Puyang seemed to have thousands of doubts in his heart, he still did not choose to resist in the face of the army's escort, or rather, at this time, resistance was simply beyond his strength.

So he was escorted back to Kyoto with the army, and as soon as he returned to the palace, he immediately received a summoning order from the emperor. Seeing that the other party was his father and queen, he finally became nervous, and his face began to sweat, thinking that it was the previous incident?

The emperor seemed very angry when he saw him, and without saying a word, he took him to a certain dormitory, pointed to the sleeping man in the curtain, and said with a gloomy face: "Go and say hello to your imperial brother." ”

Seeing that the sleeping prince Puyang's face finally changed greatly, it turned out that this matter was found out. He didn't dare to say much, just puffed and knelt on the ground.

The emperor seemed to be really angry this time, looking at Pu Yang who was kneeling on the ground expressionless, and slowly began to tell the reason for the matter.

"I always wanted you brothers to live in harmony, but have you lived up to my expectations? The crown prince is your brother, why did you poison him?! The emperor pointed at Pu Yang and shouted, Pu Yang didn't dare to talk back, he was covered in cold sweat, but he was desperately thinking about why it was leaked.

Soon the emperor's words gave the answer: "If it weren't for Gong Mu Shen's several subordinates who accompanied the prince in the past, and discovered the abnormality this time, would I still have been kept in the dark by you?!" ”

Gong Mu Shen, hearing this name again, Pu Yang gritted his teeth, a cloud rolled in his eyes, but he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, now the emperor was in a rage, he didn't want to kill himself.

But then the emperor's words made him like five thunderbolts, as if he had been sent to hell: "The transaction between us is completely canceled!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Pu Yang's face became pale as it had never been, and he fell to the ground trembling as if he had lost his spiritual support, and the angry emperor no longer looked at him, and turned to leave the palace.

At the same time, when a farce was taking place in the palace, a man and a woman on the outskirts of Beijing were negotiating something. Among them, the man had a cold face, and he was the one that Lu Shangshu and Puyang hated very much, Gong Mu Shen.

"I need to run errands in Kyoto, and it's not convenient to be too far away, so I can only stay here for the time being." Gong Mu looked at the petite girl and said.

The girl nodded rather old-fashionedly: "So, I'm equivalent to one of your identities used to confuse others, right?" I see, it's no problem to leave it to me. ”

So Gong Mushen also nodded, and his cold eyes wandered on the girl for a while, perhaps worried about whether she would be able to handle such a task. But the girl showed a playful smile at him, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Don't worry, it must be right to leave it to me." ”

Before leaving, Chen Xiyuan turned his head and glanced at Gong Mushen deeply.

After getting ready, she held Gong Mushen's hand and said softly: "You go and send someone to find Erya, maybe at this time, the prince needs her." ”

As soon as he thought of the prince and Xie Wanjun, the hard-working mandarin ducks, Chen Xiyuan sighed.

Gong Mu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was the same, so he wrote down these words.

"Be careful yourself, if something happens, I'll send someone to pick you up. It's just that you need to be on guard yourself. Gong Mushen explained a lot, and what he was afraid of was that something happened to Chen Xiyuan.

After all, if it wasn't a last resort, he would definitely not let Chen Xiyuan take the risk.

Chen Xiyuan nodded again and again, told him a word, and went on the road.

After Chen Xiyuan, Gong Mu Shen summoned the secret guard to come up, and a dark-colored man in black knelt down in front of him and called, "Master." ”

Gong Mushen's face was hidden in the dark, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly, but his voice was cold and low: "Send someone to follow Xi Yuan, contact the prince's side, and report to me at any time if there is any change." ”

The guard nodded, "Yes." ”

Gong Mushen stood there for a long time, as if he had figured out something, and his indifferent voice sounded again: "Send someone to take Xie Wanjun over." ”

With that, he raised his hand slightly,

The dark guard saw the gesture, understood, and rolled over and jumped out with a dodge.

At this time, after Chen Xiyuan went on the road, he specially appeared in the line of sight of Puyang Haokun's eyeliner, and his eyeliner brought Puyang Haokun, but he saw Chen Xiyuan hiding in a small ruined temple, which looked very bad.

"Xi Yuan? Xi Yuan? ”

Seeing this, Puyang Haokun hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Chen Xiyuan, who was lying on the haystack, and held him in his arms.

This dilapidated temple does not block the wind, and the cold wind pours in from outside several broken holes, making it even more gloomy and cold, freezing Chen Xiyuan's lips purple and his whole body cold.

Chen Xiyuan slowly opened his eyes at this time, saw Puyang Haokun in a daze, and called weakly: "The fourth prince ......"

Between the words, there is a little more alienation.

Puyang Haokun was stunned, but he still hugged the person in his arms tighter, and said in a low voice: "I'm here." ”

Chen Xiyuan, who was nestled in Puyang Haokun's arms, inadvertently revealed a sly smile, and then, there was a black look in front of him, and he didn't know anything.

When she woke up again, she was already in a room, and the fragrance of soothing incense was faintly wafting in the air, she frowned, but she heard an old voice say, "Lord Wang, she's fine." According to this prescription, take a few more patches of medicine, and you will be able to see a good result in a few days. ”

Puyang Haokun relieved his mind at this time, originally thought that Chen Xiyuan was a poison in the suburbs of Beijing, but after diagnosis, he found that it was just an ordinary wind and cold, and his body was weak, so he was seriously ill.

So he followed the chin and said, "I'm tired." ”

The doctor nodded, handed the prescription to the maid on the side, turned around and carried the medicine box, and followed the next person out to receive the reward.

And Puyang Haokun turned around, but just saw Chen Xiyuan wake up, with a happy face: "Are you awake?" ”

Chen Xiyuan nodded, but his face was still a little pale and bloodless.

"Look at you." Puyang Haokun said helplessly, a little accusatory, but more spoiled.

At first, it was Chen Xiyuan who walked away from him, but he went around in circles, and finally could only return to his side in embarrassment, in his eyes, Chen Xiyuan was just holding his palm in his hand.
