Prince Xia Yijing must be a bright monarch in the future.

Whether it is the subordinates in the palace, or the concubines in the harem, or the civil and military officials in the court, they all think so.

Xia Yijing has been gifted and intelligent since he was a child, both civil and military, and has a pure nature, and he is the eldest son of Empress Chen, and he is the only one who will be on the throne in the future.

In the hearts of Xia Yichen and Xia Yiyuan, the eldest brother Xia Yijing has always been a god-like existence, and it is also a difficult thing for both of them to reach in their lives.

The three brothers have had a very good relationship since childhood.

We read books together, ride horses together, eat together, and even sleep in the same bed at night.

Such brotherhood is rare in the intriguing royal family.

It's a pity that this kind of happy days can't last a lifetime.

As he grew older, the emperor's health gradually deteriorated, and he began to superstitious about various methods of immortality, favored traitors in the court, and the whole person became suspicious by nature, and always felt that the people around him hoped that he would die early.

During that time, the prince's status in the court became higher and higher, and he was deeply loved by the courtiers.

So the emperor felt even more that the country was about to change hands, and no one cared about him, an old man who was about to die.

At this time, the Taoist priest who had been alchemy to the emperor said that he calculated that the emperor's dragon body was weakening because he was cursed, and someone was secretly practicing witchcraft, wanting the emperor's life, trying to usurp the throne, and this person was the prince.

The emperor believed it to be true, so he ordered someone to go to the East Palace to search.

If you want to add sin, there is no excuse.

The people who went to search really found the props used by the witch Gu in the East Palace.

The crown prince thought that he was not afraid of shadows, so he went to the emperor to explain the matter in person.

But the searchers did everything possible to prevent the prince from seeing the emperor.

Seeing his obstruction, the prince was suspicious, worried that the emperor might have been victimized by traitors, so he led his own soldiers to break into the emperor's palace and rescue the emperor.

When the traitorous ministers in the court saw the prince breaking into the palace, they hurriedly reported to the emperor that the prince had committed a rebellion and wanted to force the palace.

When the emperor heard this, he ordered all the forbidden troops in the imperial city to arrest the prince and kill him.

A tragedy ensued.

That night, dark clouds covered the moon and blood stained the imperial city.

The earth-shattering shouts of killing, the fierce metal sound of weapons colliding, the light of swords and swords, the muddy blood meandered into a river along the brick cracks on the ground, and one by one the fresh lives fell to the ground into stiff corpses.

The prince resisted with all his might, but the number of his own soldiers was only a few hundred, how could he defeat the tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the city.

The soldiers were killed and wounded, the prince was cornered, looked up to the sky and roared, leaving a sentence of "the son is wronged", and tearfully killed himself at the palace gate.

The crown prince's biological mother, Empress Chen, also hanged herself on the beam in the palace that night.

This was the only and most tragic palace change in the history of Great Xia.

After the death of the crown prince, the emperor ordered people to escort the top and bottom of the East Palace to the execution ground to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

Even the courtiers who had close ties with the crown prince were not spared.

During those days, everyone in the government and the opposition was in danger, and "prince" became the two most taboo words for everyone.

Only Xia Yichen and Xia Yiyuan, who did everything possible and worked hard, found someone to replace the pregnant prince's concubine under the emperor's nose and saved her from the execution ground.

Three months later, Concubine Fang gave birth to a boy, who was Xia Xingran.

gave birth to a child, and the side concubine snatched her head to death in the corner of the table to martyr the prince's spirit in the sky.

In order not to be known by outsiders, Xia Yichen and Xia Yiyuan have hidden it in every possible way for several years, which has kept a trace of blood left by the eldest brother.

Until the death of the first emperor and the new emperor ascended the throne, Xia Yichen raised Xia Xingran in the palace in the name of the prince.

Only in this way can Xia Xingran's true identity be concealed.
