Princess Shunde left the arms of her father, who had been absent for a long time, and walked towards Daxi Xiunan in the distance. When he passed by Shi Zhiyi's side, he suddenly spoke: "Shi Shaocheng Lord, last time I gave you a gift, you and the third brother should owe me a favor;

More than half a year ago, the Three Princes and their faction accused the eldest prince of eight major crimes, but the eldest prince tried to get away with it on the grounds of lack of evidence. At the critical moment, a mysterious person gave Shi Zhiyi a bag to inform the eldest prince that the stolen goods and incriminating evidence were all in the space bracer of his left hand, and the three princes and their faction turned the situation around, and finally forced Emperor Jingchang to order the eldest prince to think about it behind closed doors.

Now that I think about it, that bag is naturally the handiwork of Princess Shunde.

Shi Zhiyi presented Yingyue with both hands: "How can it be worth the princess's favor in exchange for a small matter of borrowing a sword? If the princess is sent in the future, as long as Shi Zhiyi can do it, she will definitely not refuse!"

Princess Shunde nodded slightly, but did not reply. took the Moon Reflecting Sword from Shi Zhiyi's hand and walked straight to Da Xi Xiunan, who was still unconscious.

Standing in front of this culprit who had defiled his innocent body, buried his life's happiness, and wanted to kill him in his dreams, Princess Shunde's beautiful and quiet face could not completely hide the waves in her heart.

Eight years of hatred, three thousand days and nights of pain, it seems that in the next moment, it can be completely ended.

This sword went down, cutting off not only hatred, but also the apparent warmth established by the royal Yu family and the Daxi family due to the political marriage of Empress Daxi, as well as all the involvement between himself, his mother, and the Daxi family.

Princess Shunde closed her eyes.

The sword fell.

A splash of blood splashed between Da Xi Xiunan's legs, and the huge pain made him wake up from his coma, and then faint again.

Princess Shunde turned around, and her pace suddenly became brisk, as if she had unloaded a thousand catties of burden.

Lord Ning ran forward, wanting to comfort this half-sister who used to be very clingy to her when she was a child, but she began to grow estranged at some point, and the two sisters hugged each other tightly.

Shi Zhiyi walked up to Yu Zhongqian and asked, "Brother Zhongqian, are you okay?"

Yu Zhongqian wrapped the torn shirt on his chest tightly, blocking a mysterious pattern that was faintly exposed inside: "Don't worry, Xiaoyi, I'm fine." Thank you so much this time. ”

It turned out that what Yu Zhongqian was wearing under his shirt was a personal armor made of the scales of the giant dragon Baichen that Shi Zhiyi gave him in the Tianzhen Pavilion at the beginning.

At the beginning, the appraiser of Tianzhen Pavilion had said that the attack of the martial artists below the Saint Realm could not break through the defense of this dragon scale at all, and the moment Yu Zhongqian was hit, he was more caught off guard, and was a little shocked by the impact force carried by the true yuan.

Such a thing happened, and the lord of Ninging County also did not mention the marriage between Emperor Jingchang and Shi Zhiyi again, although the two never had any conversation in order to avoid suspicion, but the strong affection exuded between the two pairs of eyes had already made each other understand each other's intentions.

The eldest prince was taken away by two old eunuchs and ordered to continue to "think about it behind closed doors". It's just that this time he closed his door and thought about the location, but it was not the East Palace, but a secret room at the bottom of the Star Picking Tower in the northwest corner of the palace.

The chamber was nine feet in circumference, and the ceiling, floor, and surrounding walls were made entirely of six inches of stainless steel, and beyond the steel plates were more than four feet thick of Qinggang rock. In the entire secret room, there is only a small three-inch square window that can ventilate and deliver food to the outside world, and the key to the three-foot-thick stainless steel door is kept by Emperor Jingchang himself.

Even if a martial artist in the realm of Dengtang is locked up here, he can't even think of escaping, let alone Yu Zhongcheng, who is not able to cultivate in the late stage of the cold window and still wears the Zhenyuan lock.

The second prince has been demoted to a concubine for murdering the third prince, and if the eldest prince is also demoted for the same reason, Emperor Jingchang really can't afford to lose face, so he has to choose the "closed-door thinking" This kind of punishment sounds milder.

It's just that this time I thought about it behind closed doors, but I don't know how many years it has been.

In fact, in the emperor's house, fratricidal fighting for the throne is nothing new, although the four brothers of Emperor Jingchang are all there, but in addition to Prince Rui Yu Lizhi, who has long expressed his intention to be an idle prince, Emperor Jingchang and his other two younger brothers Yu Limeng and Yu Lizun were also very happy to fight, in addition to not assassinating, other means are also exhausted.

And the reason why Emperor Jingchang punished his two sons so much is actually for different reasons.

The second prince, Yu Zhongjing, is cowardly by nature, not to mention letting him plot to murder his third brother, even if he is asked to step on a worm, he may not dare. And Beigong Yan is ambitious, and Emperor Jingchang knows that a series of actions against the third child and Yi Ning must be from her handwriting. The second prince is at most a person who knows about it and doesn't report it.

Degrading the second prince to a commoner is actually more of a punishment for Beigong Yan, wanting to completely crush her ambition to let her son ascend the throne as the emperor. For Yu Zhongjing, anyway, with his identity, there will be no shortage of clothes, and being an ordinary person may be happier than being a prince.

The wrist and heart of the eldest prince are actually more in line with the requirements of an emperor, and he was originally the most optimistic heir of Emperor Jingchang. However, through a series of recent incidents, Emperor Jingchang angrily discovered that in the heart of the eldest prince, the interests of the Daxi family seem to be higher than the interests of the royal Yu family!

Take the big prince as a backer for those gangs before, the wealth offered by each gang was laundered through the Wynn gambling house of the Daxi family, and then entered the pocket of the big prince, among them, the share ratio between the big prince and the Daxi family was roughly seven to three. Although it seems that the eldest prince has taken the lion's share, this is based on the damage to the commerce and taxes of the four states of the royal family, while the Daxi family is completely empty gloves and white wolves, and almost does not need to pay anything.

If the eldest prince ascends to the throne one day, the power of the Daxi family will inevitably be further expanded. The Daxi family itself is already the strongest family power in addition to the royal family, and if it continues to develop, I am afraid that it will not be able to lose its tail, and one day, it will pose a threat to the royal status of the Yu family.

This is absolutely intolerable for Emperor Jingchang!

Emperor Jingchang, the Daxi family, and the Beigong family, the two marriages for the purpose of political marriage, ended up with chicken feathers one after another, but I don't know if it is inevitable or a coincidence.
