"Rong'er, why are you here?" Jing Yu was shocked, he wanted to hide the matter first, but who knew that she suddenly appeared here at this time.

Mu Yurong blessed her body and said: "Yi'er doesn't know what's wrong today, she keeps making trouble, clamoring to see the emperor, and Xi'er is too, so the concubines will take them to Longhuan Hall to see you." But who knew that there was a white cloth up and down the Longhuan Palace, and the concubines were scared half to death, and they couldn't find you, and the palace people told the concubines that the emperor had woken up and came to the Jinluan Palace. The concubine was overjoyed and couldn't afford a moment's delay, so she followed. ”

"Fortunately, the emperor is safe, and the concubines are also at ease." Mu Yurong walked in and stared at Mu Zhaolin, there was indescribable pain in her eyes, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and her throat was choked but suppressed.

Mu Zhaolin didn't expect her to appear at this time, and when he touched Mu Yurong's eyes, he unconsciously turned them away. At the moment, he really didn't know how to face her.

With a roll of her eyes, Mu Yurong stared at Jing Yu sadly, "Why does the emperor hide it from his concubines?" Have we been married for many years, and you still don't trust your concubines? Her voice was long, her body was still healed, and she covered her mouth and coughed.

"No, of course I trust you." Jing Yu hurriedly got down from the dragon chair, pulled her up, stroked her back, he glanced at Mu Zhaolin sideways, and hesitated: "It's just that your body is not good, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it for a while, and I want to wait until your body is better to talk to you." ”

Jing Yi saw his father wake up, and couldn't hold back his tears, during this time he lived with the queen mother, without his father and mother, only his brother was by his side. He is also a sensible child, he doesn't cry or make trouble, and later when he returns to his mother, the queen mother is sick again, and his brother tells him not to shed tears around his mother, and he has been suppressing it. Now that he has seen his father, the emotions he has been holding in his heart have finally been released.

He buried himself in Jing Yu's arms, sobbing and crying, "Father, your illness is cured, isn't it?" I won't sleep again, will I? The royal grandmother locked up the queen mother and forbade us to visit her, nor did she allow us to come to see you. Yi'er is so scared. ”

Although Jing Yu woke up, his body was still very weak, and it was a little difficult to hold him, "Father is already well, and I will not let anyone bully you in the future." ”

They have already heard what Mu Zhaolin said just now, Jing Xi is older, and he can understand everything. He looked at Mu Zhaolin with strange eyes, and his hand tightly grasped Mu Yurong's clothes. His heart is complicated, his grandfather, who has always loved him, actually harmed his mother, him and his younger brother in danger, and murdered his father. At this moment, the kind and kind grandfather in the past was unusually strange in his eyes.

Mu Yurong lowered her head and touched his head and smiled softly at him. He smiled at Mu Zhaolin and said, "Father, do you know that if the emperor has a case, I won't live alone." Dowager? I never wanted to be the queen mother, because if there was no emperor, my life would have no meaning. ”

Mu Zhaolin stared back at her, his voice was calm, containing irony, and he turned his eyes to look at Mu Xuefu, "You women are all the same, you only care about love, but you don't know that the best thing in this world is power!" With power, you can control the fate of others, and with power, you can get anything you want. ”

"That's what you want, but it's not what everyone wants, and it's not what I want." Mu Yurong burst into tears, her watery eyes were full of sadness, "Father, you quickly kneel down and confess to the emperor and ask for the emperor's forgiveness." ”

Mu Zhaolin looked up to the sky and laughed, "Kneel down and confess? Ask him for forgiveness? His gaze was grim and terrifying, "Who said I lost?" Until the last minute, everything is still unknown. ”

Before the words fell, Mu Zhaolin swept past Mu Yurong like a black shadow, grabbed Jingxi with one hand, and strangled his palm around his neck.

Mu Zhaolin's sudden action shocked everyone, but who could be more excited than Mu Yurong? Mu Yurong almost knelt on the ground, "Father, what are you going to do?" What are you doing? Xi'er, he's your own grandson, let him go! ”

"Let him go, do I still have the life to get out?" Mu Zhaolin's hand on Jing Xi's neck tightened again, and he retreated step by step.

Mu Yurong grabbed the corner of Jing Yu's clothes, "Your Majesty—"

Jing Yu clenched her hand, helped her up, and said to Mu Zhaolin: "Mu Zhaolin, do you still want to be wrong again and again?" Okay, I promise you, as long as you let the eldest prince go, I will spare your life. ”

Mu Zhaolin smiled disdainfully and said, "Spare my life?" Haha······" As if hearing some joke, Mu Zhaolin laughed. After laughing, he raised his voice and said: "For me, power is life, without power, what is the difference between my life and death!" ”

Once a person falls into the whirlpool of power, he will be swallowed up by power. It is an invisible force that, unconsciously, will wipe out all the conscience of those who have been eroded by him.

Mu Xuefu looked at him, and suddenly felt so far away, as if he was from a different world, and it was as if he knew him for the first time in so many years.

How much charm power is, it can distort a person's personality, it can devour a person's soul, and it can make the gentle person in memory crazy and hideous.

Mu Xuefu couldn't help but look at Jing Rong, Jing Rong was once a person who was obsessed with power struggle, so why wasn't he as crazy as Mu Zhaolin? Why could he even break free from the whirlpool of power struggle without getting lost?

"Father, I beg you, don't hurt Xi'er, he is your own grandson, he is innocent." Mu Yurong's voice dragged her back, and the voice seemed to be burned by a thousand holes.

Jing Xi is usually steady, but he is just a child. He was afraid in his heart, but he didn't dare to cry, he wanted to hold back, and the tears kept falling.

"The Queen Mother······ Father's ······"

Listening to the child's call, Mu Yurong's heart felt as if she had been pierced by thousands of needles, "Father, I beg you, you let Xi'er go." You want hostages, don't you? I'll take you hostage. She walked in the direction of Mu Zhaolin step by step, hoping to exchange with Jingxi.

But Mu Zhaolin threatened: "Don't come over!" One step further and I'll pinch him to death! ”

Mu Yurong immediately stopped, "Okay, I won't move, I won't move, you must not hurt Xi'er." ”

Jing Yu's face was covered by the gloom before the storm came, and he said angrily: "Mu Zhaolin, what do you want?" As long as you let go of Xi'er, I can be free from the past. This is already his biggest concession.

Mu Zhaolin sneered and said, "What else?" You think I'm going to take your word for it? Once I let go of Xi'er, then I will die too! ”

Jing Yu said loudly: "Mu Zhaolin, what do you want!" ”

Mu Zhaolin looked crazy, his eyes were full of blood, "You all betrayed me, you all betrayed me, okay, then we will die together!" ”

Up to now, he has no way out, and the road ahead is also blocked, and in such a situation, he can only fish and die.

He took Jing Xi back step by step, no one dared to relax, and followed step by step, but he didn't dare to cross the pool half a step, for fear of annoying him and making him hurt Jing Xi.

"Juncao!" Under the pressure of step by step, Mu Zhaolin shouted outside. Sure enough, Mu Junwei entered the Jinluan Hall with a team of archers and surrounded everyone. Looking at the minister's panicked appearance, Mu Zhaolin laughed proudly, "I said I won't lose!" Now whoever wants to take refuge in the prime minister will stand up! ”

Many people led by Qu Changfu didn't have to think much to stand beside Mu Zhaolin, and a few people hesitated for a moment before leaning over.

Fan Zheng almost fainted in anger, pointed at those ministers, and said angrily: "You people eat things inside and out, usually show off your loyalty and patriotism, but now you are greedy for life and afraid of death to take refuge in this thief, you, you are guilty of not punishable!" ”

Qu Changfu took a sip on the ground, "Old man Fan, don't always rely on the old man and sell the old there, let me tell you, I have put up with you for a long time." You old thing, relying on yourself as an official of the three dynasties, you think you are amazing, and you always take the opportunity to teach us a lesson. Now this official will also teach you a lesson. ”

He raised his face and was arrogant, "Do you know what it means to be a good bird to choose a tree to perch, the emperor is exhausted, and if you still follow him, you are looking for death!" ”

"Anti-thief! Anti-thief! "Fan Zheng is over 70 years old, and it is really unbearable to be taught a lesson in front of the public. blushed, blew his beard and glared, and stretched his arms to teach Qu Changfu a lesson, but was pushed to the ground by Qu Changfu with a palm.

With a wave of his sleeves, Qu Changfu looked at him condescendingly, "You are really dead!" Okay, then I'll take you under the knife first! After speaking, he raised a foot to kick Fan Zheng, but before the foot fell, Mu Xuefu's fingertips flicked, and a golden hairpin "swished" into his leg, and suddenly blood poured into him, and he knelt on the ground and screamed in pain.

Mu Zhaolin's expression changed instantly, he tightened Jingxi's neck, and threatened: "If you make another move, I will kill him!" ”

"Father, don't, I beg you, you must not hurt Xi'er, kill me if you want to, don't hurt him. I beg you, father······" Mu Yurong knelt on the ground, tears like a surging river, soaking her clothes.

Mu Zhaolin didn't listen to his cry at all, squinted his eyes at Mu Junxuan, and ordered: "Junjiao, there is no one left in the main hall!" ”

He rekindled hope in his heart, as long as all the people in the court were killed today, he would still be the left minister, still in power and in favor of the government and the opposition, and he could still coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and even he could be the emperor.

But the bow and arrow aimed at the opposite side turned the arrow and pointed at him in the next moment.

Mu Zhaolin's terrifying blood-devouring gaze shot at Mu Junwei like a bow and arrow, and roared, "What are you doing here? Rebellious son, will you also rebel against your father? Order to shoot them, quick! ”

Mu Junwei's face was gloomy, like a dark cloud covering a sunny day, and a pair of eyes full of hatred looked at his father.

His voice seemed to pop out between his teeth, and every word was as cold as broken ice on a winter ice pool, "If you kill my mother, are you still worthy of being my father?" ”

"Y-how do you know?" Mu Zhaolin's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his hand unconsciously loosened slightly. He shook his head, "I didn't mean to, it was her, she knew my secret, and I killed her as a last resort." ”

Mu Xuefu saw that he was in a trance, and the hand that was holding Jingxi's neck also loosened. With a flash of light in his eyes, he took advantage of Mu Junxuan's distraction to distract him, swept by like a light cloud, and snatched Jing Xi back from his hand.
