Xu Lizhen has been uneasy since the Rong family had an accident, he just wants to use the Rong family to control the second prince, just wants to find a way out for himself, so as not to be crossed by the second prince in the future, tear down the bridge and unload the mill and kill the donkey, but he never expected that Rong Dai's matter would be exposed in this way, let alone that Rong Dai would provoke the word "rebellion" and alarm His Majesty.

He never thought of betraying them, nor did he want to put the Rong family and the second prince to death.

Xu Lizhen wanted to ask to see the second prince to ask for guilt, only to learn that the second prince was brought back to the Rong family because he knelt down and injured his leg for entering the palace to ask for guilt, but when he rushed to the Rong family, he was blocked out, and the Rong family told him that the second prince didn't see anyone, and he was even more disgusted with him between words.

Xu Lizhen's heart immediately cooled down.

At that moment, he even had the idea of fleeing the capital, but when he hurried back to the mansion, he broke off this thought.

He knew that he couldn't go, even if he was arrested at this time, it was only to frame the Rong family, maybe there was room for maneuver, he had the handle of the Rong family in his hand, and he also had His Majesty's, maybe he could save his life and the Xu family, but once he left, it was really a dead end.

Without any scruples, whether it is the Rong family, the second prince or His Majesty, they will directly kill him!

Xu Lizhen didn't dare to leave the capital at all, and waited in the mansion in a panic, waiting until nightfall, and when he looked at the forbidden troops who rushed in from outside, Xu Lizhen, who was standing under the lantern in the corridor, felt so sad.

……

Cheng Amber House.

Cheng Anbo has been drowsy since he took the medicine in the afternoon, and the king of the county pushed all the visitors under the pretext that he was unwell, and the Zheng family was also used by him to find an excuse to take people away, so that the Zheng family successfully missed Xu Lizhen, who wanted to discuss countermeasures, and when Cheng Anbo woke up from his sleep, the sky outside had completely darkened.

He leaned on the head of the bed in a dizzy state, looked at the lamps and candles lit in the room, and turned his head to see a figure standing outside the screen.

King Jun seemed to be talking to someone, but he only faintly heard a few words because he lowered his voice.

Cheng Amber made some noise.

The king of the county who was standing outside suddenly stiffened, and hurriedly waved his hand to let the person in front of him out, and then adjusted his face and walked in.

"Grandfather, are you awake?" King Jun hurriedly stepped forward to help Cheng Anbo sit up, "Are you hungry, I'll let someone bring some food?" ”

Cheng Amber's appetite has not been good since he took the medicine, he has lost a lot of weight, and his voice is hoarse when he speaks: "I'm not hungry yet, but I'm a little thirsty." ”

When the king heard this, he hurriedly walked to the side, poured a glass of water for him, brought it over, and helped him drink some more.

After wiping the water stains on his mouth with the handkerchief handed over by the king of the county, Cheng Amber looked at the person in front of him and said gently: "You have been guarding here all along?" ”

King Jun said: "You are not in good health, I want to accompany you." ”

Cheng Anbo only felt soft in his heart when he heard this.

The king of the county is his grandson, even if there are some family interests mixed with helping him seize power over the years, but he treats this child with sincere love.

Over the years, he has tried his best to plan for him, and took the entire Zheng family to help him seize the throne, although in the end the whole process was empty, but the filial piety of the king of the county made him feel that all these years of hard work were not in vain.

Cheng Anbo said mildly: "That's it for my old bones, although it is extremely difficult to think about it, but for His Highness, he can last for a few more years, His Highness doesn't have to guard me every day, I should do something else, don't waste time on my old man." ”

The king of the county looked at him a little weakly, lowered his eyes and whispered: "Anyway, I don't have any future, rather than being laughed at outside, it is better to stay here and accompany my grandfather." ”

"What nonsense."

Cheng Amber only thought he was depressed when he saw him, so he couldn't help but scolding him and said, "It's just that you lost some face and were reprimanded by Your Majesty, what are you doing so frustrated?" What I've taught you over the years, can't you forget? ”

"Those who become big things are not informal, there is no definite number of things in this world, although you have no chance to be on the throne at the moment, but you don't necessarily have to get the throne if you want power, not to mention that some things are not until the end, who can know the victory or defeat? If you even feel that you have no future, who else can help you? ”

The king pursed his lips.

Cheng Anbo said earnestly: "Hao'er, you should know better than me about the royal affairs, success or failure for a while does not mean anything, so you can hold on to it when you have the opportunity in the future." ”

"Don't wear out your will because of a temporary hardship, you also have to understand the true meaning of the four words "success and defeat", now these gossips and jokes are nothing, and when the power changes in the future, as long as you have enough ability to deter everyone, no one will dare to joke about today's things at that time."

The king of the county listened to Cheng Anbo's words for his sake, as if everything was planned for him, and he lowered his eyes to cover the mockery,

If he is really so optimistic about him, and thinks that he still has a chance to be in power, and even has the opportunity to sit in that position in the future, how could he take the Zheng family to the second prince, and how could he take him as a "gift" to honor the new master?! It's just duplicity to fool him!

The corners of the king's mouth pulled into a smile: "That's what my grandfather said." ”

Seeing his obedient appearance, Cheng Anbo said slowly: "I just heard you talk to people outside about Zhan Changdong, what's wrong with him?" ”

King Junjun's expression was slightly paused: "It's nothing, it's just that something is wrong." ”

Cheng Anbo didn't think much about it when he heard this, he just thought it was really a trivial matter, and said to the king of the county: "Zhan Changdong is cunning, obviously he has already favored the prince, but he can make His Majesty believe in him, and he acts ruthlessly and has many means, don't provoke him if you have nothing to do." ”

The king said, "What do I provoke him to do?" ”

Cheng Anbo smiled, too, with their current situation, the prince probably wouldn't spend any more effort to deal with them alone, let alone risk letting Zhan Changdong expose his faction, as long as he was careful not to be caught, even if Zhan Changdong got the favor again?

After relieving himself, Cheng Amber couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

His body is getting worse and worse, and in the past, he could still support his spirit for most of the day by relying on the power of medicine, but now he is getting more and more drowsy after taking the medicine, but now he has just thought about something, and the pain in his brain is terrible, as if someone is holding a knife.

Cheng Anbo was about to ask the king of the county to ask the doctor who stayed in the house to come and take a look for him, when he suddenly heard a "bang" in front of the door.

When the door was slammed open, it slammed into the wall, startling the two people in the room.
