The sound of crying faintly came from the corner of the Fang Palace, and the eunuch in front of Yigui, whose eyes were slightly red, smiled very reluctantly and asked the eunuch to leave the palace. After a moment of silence, she held her hand in her sleeve tightly, clutched the handkerchief tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't believe it." ”

At this time, the palace was already in chaos, and the queen mother had several wills one after another, whether it was the queen of the East Palace or Ning Cairen, they had to move to Hanguang Hall to live immediately. And the Yigui concubine, who raised the youngest son of Emperor Qingguo, is no exception.

At that time, in the palace, Concubine Yi heard these wills clearly, and of course understood that the so-called moving to the Hanguang Hall to live was just to facilitate the monitoring of these people in the palace.

Her mind was a little dazed, and she didn't know what kind of situation she and her son were going to face...... The emperor is dead, the emperor is dead! Her sideburns were a little messy, and she shook her head vigorously, as if she wanted to drive this earth-shattering news out of her mind.

"How can the emperor die, how can he die?"

She bit her lower lip tightly, and her rosy lips were bitten with a blue and white mark. The rain outside the palace had stopped, and the cicadas had stopped, but the chill in the air had filled the air, enveloping her body and making her shiver.

Although His Majesty the Emperor has never had any special preference for women, and there are only more than 20 concubines in the harem, but Concubine Yi is the most favored one in recent years, if she wants to say that she has no feelings for the emperor, it is naturally false. However, at this time, her sadness, her fear, her uneasiness were not only because of the news of His Majesty's death.

The military, the Inspectorate, the prefecture and the county, sent a message to Kyoto, and conveyed the great news to the nobles in the capital - His Majesty has been assassinated!

However. The intelligence of the military and the state and county is that the assassination of His Majesty was the Supervisory Yuan's Ti Si Fan Xian!

Lord Xiao Fan colluded with Dongyi City to look around the sword, and on the occasion of the sacrifice of Dadong Mountain, he conspired against the heart and killed the king!

The information on the part of the Supervision Yuan only confirmed the news of His Majesty's death, and in the description of the specific process, it was extremely vague, but confirmed the authenticity of the first two pieces of information.

......

......

However, Yi Guifei didn't believe it!

It's not that she doesn't believe that His Majesty the Emperor has died. But he didn't believe that this matter was done by Lord Xiao Fan! This doesn't make sense at all, His Majesty the Emperor sacrificed to the heavens to abolish the crown prince, and Fan Xian's position will only be further stabilized after the sacrifice to the heavens, how could he suddenly choose such a ridiculous move at this juncture?

Concubine Yi was really scared. She felt that a net had been put on Fan Xian, and it was followed by Shufang Palace. She was born in the Liu family, and she was as prosperous as the Fan Mansion, and Fan Xian was appointed by His Majesty...... Master of the Three Princes!

If Fan Xian really became the first offender of the rebellion, the Fan Mansion would naturally be beheaded all over the house, and the Liu family would not be spared, and Concubine Yi might be pushed into the well. And the three princes ......

"Mother, mother!" The third prince, who had just received the news, ran into the hall, crying all the way. When he ran in front of Concubine Yigui, he stopped in a daze, and looked at his mother cautiously with those eyes that were more mature than his peers.

Concubine Yi nodded a little distractedly.

The third prince pursed his lips and forcibly endured it, but he still didn't hold back. Wow cried out loudly and threw herself into the arms of Yi Guifei.

After a while, Concubine Yi gritted her teeth, pulled her son out of her arms, looked at his eyes viciously, and said vigorously: "Don't cry, don't cry." Now is not the time to cry...... Your father is a king who stands tall in the sky. You can't cry. ”

The third prince, Li Chengping, sobbed. But he stood firmly in front of his mother and nodded heavily. Long years of court life. Following Fan Xian in Jiangnan for a year, the ruthless prince's temperament who dared to open a green building at the age of nine has already been tempered enough, and it is extremely important to know that his mother wants to explain at this time.

"Now it's all rumored that it's your master, Master Fan, who is driving it. Yi Guifei stared at her son's eyes.

After the third prince's eyes were a little flustered, he immediately calmed down, and said hatefully: "I don't believe it......! He had no reason. ”

Concubine Yi smiled reluctantly, patted her son's head and said, "Yes, although there are reports from the military and the state and county, few people will believe your master, and it will be detrimental to Your Majesty...... You know, he's your father's most important courtier. ”

"It's not just that we don't believe it. Concubine Yi gritted her teeth and said: "The Queen Mother doesn't believe it, otherwise the Fan Mansion would have been copied at this time, and the crazy woman would not have been buried in the soil by the Queen Mother." ”

The third prince nodded.

Concubine Yi lowered her voice and said, "But the Queen Mother will not believe it completely, although I don't know why...... Your uncle is about to enter the palace, Sister Chen and Sisi's girl are also going to enter the palace, if the Queen Mother really believes that the matter of Dadongshan is your master's work, I am afraid that immediately, the Fan Liu family will be in a desperate situation. ”

"What can the child do?" The third prince clenched his fists, knowing that his future had been completely pressed on his master Fan Xiandi, and if the master was really beaten into a villain, he would no longer have the strength to turn over.

"Don't do anything, just cry, be sad, and accompany the Queen Mother ......" Yi Guifei suddenly sighed, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, and she took the third prince into her arms again, "The matter of Dadongshan has not been clarified for a day, and if your master has not returned to Kyoto for a day, the Queen Mother will not do anything to the Fan family immediately." We need this time to influence the Queen Mother, and then ...... Waiting for your master to come back. ”

The third prince was silent for a moment and nodded, he, like his mother, had always had great confidence in Fan Xian, in their hearts, as long as the master returned to Kyoto, he would definitely be able to solve the whole thing.

The eunuch was urging outside.

Yi Gui Concubine has some six

The ground began to prepare to move to the Hall of Light.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the third prince, and he took out a quenched dagger given to him by Fan Xian from under the table, and carefully hid it in his cute little boots.

He didn't agree with his mother's previous words, and there wasn't necessarily how safe it was in the Hanguang Palace, and the two elder brothers couldn't do anything crazy about the chair they left for their father?

――――――――――――――――――――

Prince Li Chengqian slowly sorted out his clothes. There was no trace of crazy joy on his face, and the news of the emperor's death reached the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was like all the princes and ministers of the land. Crying on the ground. The sadness is hard to hide.

It's just that his ground is a little more pale than sad. Walking to the door of the East Palace, facing the twilight in the far east, he bowed deeply, and two strings of tears fell from his eyes.

After a long time. Only then did he straighten up, straighten his body, and thought sadly in his heart: "Father, it's not that the son is unfilial. It's just that you've cornered me to the point where there is no way out. ”

Hong Zhu led the guards at the gate of the East Palace, waiting to ask the queen and the prince to move to Hanguang Palace.

The crown prince glanced outside the palace gate, turned around and glanced at the queen, frowning slightly. forcibly hide the helplessness in his eyes. Holding her mother's hand, she whispered in her ear, "Queen Mother, please mourn." ”

The queen mother, who has always had a noble eyebrow, has been trapped in the East Palace for half a year, and she has long since lost her original glory. However, today I suddenly heard the news of His Majesty's assassination in Dadong Mountain. The woman who embroidered the horse with the emperor's childhood plum still collapsed, and the whole person listened to the news from the palaces like a walking corpse, while she could only sit on the couch and cry.

"Your father is dead...... the queen looked at the crown prince with blank eyes.

The prince bowed his head slowly. said: "The child knows, it's just ...... Everyone is going to die. ”

There was still a sadness on his face, but he said it very indifferently.

The queen seemed to regain her senses in an instant, understood the words, and looked at her son with a look of incredulity. I opened my mouth wide and didn't say anything for a long time!

"The sacrifice to heaven is not completed. The crown prince said in a low voice: "The son will rightfully become the next emperor of Qingguo, and you will be the queen mother." ”

The queen didn't know how many complicated emotions surged in her heart for a while, her lips trembled, and it wasn't until a long time later that she ate Ai Ai and said, "It's the ground." Yes, yes...... Fan Xian, damn it, I'm ...... I said a long time ago, that's a demon star...... Our old Li family...... It will always be ruined at the hands of their mother and son...... Stay for a while and go to Hanguang Palace, and immediately ask the Queen Mother to issue an order to behead the Fan family! No, the Fan and Liu families will be beheaded. I'm going to kill Chen Pingping's old dog!"

The crown prince held the queen's hand and suddenly became a little heavier. The queen suffered. Shut your mouth.

The prince attached himself to her ear and whispered word by word: "Don't say this. Remember, don't say a word...... If you still want me to sit on that dragon chair, don't say anything. Nowadays, no one will believe Fan Xian killing the king, and if you want to say that, no one will believe it...... So we have to wait in the Hanguang Palace, in another four or five days, the human and material evidence will come back, and if you don't say it then, the Queen Mother will know what to do. ”

The queen trembled, as if she had never known her son.

The prince finally whispered in her ear: "Qin Heng is going to enter the palace in a while...... On the old man's side, you speak, and the queen mother is good at talking. ”

―――――――――――――――――

In the second prince's mansion not far from the palace, the second prince is like his brother, tidying up his clothes on the one hand, simulating sadness on the other, as a member of the Son of Heaven's family, what he is best at is acting, so when he thinks about many things in his heart, the expression on his face is still in place.

Princess Ye Ling'er looked at him indifferently from the side, and did not step forward to help, and asked softly for a moment, "Do you believe it?"

The second prince's hand paused, and he replied calmly: "I don't believe it, I appreciate Fan Xian, he has no reason to do this." ”

Ye Ling'er frowned and asked, "Then why...... That's what the rumors are saying?"

"Rumors are just rumors, and they stop at the wise. The second prince bowed his head slightly, rolled up his snow-white sleeves, he was wearing a light-colored single coat today, and he looked extremely low-key and silent, "Before there is evidence, I won't believe that Fan Xian would be so bold." ”

Ye Ling'er's heart softened, and she said softly: "Be careful when entering the palace." ”

The second prince smiled reluctantly, patted his wife's face, and said: "What should I be careful about? Father and emperor are in great action, but now there is no mourning, and when the affairs of Dongshan are clear, it will be the whole country to mourn, and then the crown prince will ascend the throne, and I will still be the inconspicuous second prince." ”

"Are you willing?" Ye Ling'er looked at him in surprise.

After the second prince was silent for a moment, he suddenly spoke: "I won't hide it from you, I suspect that the matter of Dongshan was done by the prince......"

Ye Ling'er was taken aback and covered her mouth tightly.

The second prince smiled bitterly. said: "It's just a guess. ”

After saying this, he walked towards the gate of the mansion and summoned his entourage in the corner. Whispered: "Inform my father-in-law." Always be ready to enter Beijing. ”

Yes, the father died, and the second prince stood at the door of the mansion, and suddenly felt that the sky above his head had begun to shine with a beautiful blue light, and no one could stand in his way. He had a very clear view of the affairs in the Dadong Mountains. Because Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has never hidden it from him.

The crown prince will ascend the throne when he ascends the throne, but no matter whether Fan Xian is dead or alive, how can the old guys standing behind Fan Xian be captured?

A sneer appeared on the corner of the second prince's lips. I will help the prince, let him sit on that chair for the time being, let him face the strong backlash of the Supervision Yuan and the Fan family, he only needs to be indifferent.

and see what he will do!

―――――――――――――――――

Too late to grieve.

All those who knew the news of His Majesty's assassination had no time to grieve, and after a moment of shock, they began to arrange the follow-up calmly, and even somewhat indifferently, began to prepare. The person who was qualified to decide who the chair belonged to, began to ventilate in secret.

Although the Queen Mother asked the relevant personnel to enter the palace as soon as possible, she still gave those people enough time to communicate.

All the people seem to have forgotten that the one who died was the most powerful king since the founding of Qingguo, the supreme who ruled this land for more than 20 years, and the spiritual symbol of all Qingguo people.

They were disturbed by the dividends in front of them, the scent of the tip of their noses. I only have time to be excited and panic, pretending to be sad, but I don't have time to really grieve in my heart.

Except for one person.

......

......

The eldest princess slowly pushed open the gate of the royal courtyard, which had been nominally closed for several months, and stood calmly on the stone steps, looking at the carriages and eunuchs that came to welcome her into the palace below, her beautiful and delicate facial features did not tremble at all. She was dressed in a thin white dress, and she was very pretty. Suji. Grief to the extreme.

She didn't look back at the courtyard. Slowly raised his head and looked at the blue sky after the clouds and rain dispersed. The sadness on her face became heavier and heavier, thicker and thicker, so thick that it was light, so light that there was no emotion, and the jade-like skin seemed to be transparent, so that all the people in the world could see the true emotions in her heart.

The pain and the calm.

Li Yunrui smiled slightly, the clear light scattered, and whispered to a certain wisp of emperor soul on the distant mountain in his heart: "Brother, let's go." ”

Then she got into the carriage and drove towards the palace where the ownership of Qingguo was about to be decided.

Unlike the crown prince and the second prince, she didn't bother to guard against the Supervision Yuan and the Fan Mansion at all. Because she stands taller and sees farther. The crux of the whole thing has been confirmed with the three tired horses who have traveled thousands of miles back to Beijing, and the rest of the things are just very simple.

As long as His Majesty is dead, the whole thing is over.

Regardless of whether the Queen Mother will believe Fan Xian killing the monarch, but after all, she is the Queen Mother of Qingguo, she must believe it, and the eldest princess also has a way to make her believe it.

As for whether the crown prince or the second prince succeeded to the throne, the eldest princess Li Yunrui didn't care much, all she cared about was the death of that person.

I can help you, and I can destroy you when you forsake me.

The woman in the carriage laughed, then cried.

――――――――――――――――――――

The rain was slowly dripping from the branches at the city gate, and it had been several days since the three horsemen entered Beijing to report the news. There are no impermeable walls in the world, the changes between Miyagi and the Castle Gate Division, the Kyoto Prefecture officials doing their best to maintain law and order, and the unusual silence of the Inspectorate made the people of Kyoto faintly guess the truth of the facts.

The truth they couldn't believe.

The reaction of the Li people is always different from that of the magnates, they look at things more directly, and sometimes more accurately, they only know that His Majesty Qingguo is a good emperor, at least from the perspective of the life of the people of Qingguo, Qingdi is a rare good emperor.

So the people were sad and weeping, and they didn't know what the future of this kingdom would become. They also had doubts in their hearts, and they didn't believe that Lord Xiao Fan would be ...... no matter what That traitor who deserves a thousand cuts!

The officials didn't believe it at first, but the five hundred black horses of Fan Xian's relatives have not returned so far, and the official ship parked in Lanzhou has disappeared without a trace. The testimony of Dadongshan's surviving "living mouth" pointed directly at Fan Xian, and countless evidence began to gather in the palace, although it was not enough to prove anything, but it could convince some people who were willing to be persuaded.

The Fan Mansion has been brought under control.

The Guogong Mansion was also controlled.

Maybe what is coming is bloodshed.

I heard that the palace began to prepare for the crown prince to succeed to the throne.

The soon-to-be-deposed crown prince succeeded to the throne...... History and reality are always so absurd.

At this time, a merchant selling soybean oil, wearing a hat, used the documents of the Miyabo Division to enter the east gate of the city, which had been changed from fully enclosed to semi-closed, walked to a corner of the southern city, and stayed in an inn.

Through the window of the inn, you can vaguely see the front and back houses of the Fan Mansion surrounded by heavy troops. The merchant took off his hat and looked at the mansion in the distance, clutching his chest and coughing twice, a hint of mixed emotions flashing in his eyes.

......

......
