Chapter 384: Three Glasses of Wine
Outside the palace, there was a loud cry.
The palace was deserted.
Especially the East Palace.
Prince Ning Zhiyi sat in his study, his chubby face had become pale as paper, and his eyes, which were still full of hope, had also faded at the moment.
Grandpa's hard work for so many years was actually wiped out by hundreds of Li Chen'an's people in the gathering field!
Grandpa is confused!
In fact, Ning Zhiyi has figured it out now, even if his grandfather wins in the gathering of other fields, it will be difficult to protect his position in the East Palace.
Because the people of Kyoto will not agree.
They will break through the walls of the palace.
will rush into this prince's mansion.
Will hang himself up, or unload eight pieces.
This is the water that can overturn the boat, but the boat cannot do anything.
He looked up at this palace, which was originally extremely familiar, and only then did he realize that the so-called power was completely vulnerable under this turbulent tide.
At this moment, Huo Baiyang, the young man of Zhan Shifu, hurriedly walked in.
He stood in front of Ning Zhiyi, bowed, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the soldiers of Nanping City and Fenglai City...... Three miles outside the city, he was stopped by the Red Flame Army and the Shenwu Army respectively. ”
"The war has been lost, and I am afraid that the promise made by Huai Guogong has been difficult to fulfill."
Ning Zhiyi lowered his head dejectedly, laughed at himself after a while, raised his head to look at Huo Baiyang, and asked:
"Has Li Chenan entered the palace?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, Li Chenan has entered the palace and said something to the people surrounding the palace on the palace wall, at this moment those people are retreating, and the danger of the palace has been lifted."
"Li Chen'an has even let the Shenwu Army withdraw from the palace, and the defense of the palace has been handed over to General Cheng Zhecheng, the general of the left guard of Qianniuwei."
Ning Zhiyi pondered for a moment, "Li Chen'an can come to the East Palace?" ”
Huo Baiyang shook his head, "He went to the prison of the Criminal Department. ”
"Oh, it seems that he is going to release the minister who was arrested by the former Imperial City Division...... By the way, how is Concubine Ji over there? ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, Concubine Ji has committed suicide by hanging herself!"
Ning Zhiyi was stunned, Ji Taimanmen was destroyed, the second prince Ning Zhixing followed Li Chen'an to Shuangjiao Mountain to suppress bandits, Li Chen'an had entered the palace, but the second brother Ning Zhixing had no news...... In this way, Ning Zhixing is afraid that he is already more than lucky in Shuangjiao Mountain.
Now that his father has died, the contradiction between Ji Guifei and Li Chenan is irreconcilable, and now Li Chenan is about to enter the palace, and Ji Guifei has no choice but to commit suicide.
And what about yourself?
Thinking of the past, will Li Chenan let himself go?
took the initiative to give up this East Palace, and showed Li Chenan that he had no ambition to be the emperor, and he could save his life.
Just when Ning Zhiyi was thinking like this, he suddenly saw Huo Baiyang clapping his hands, and then he saw a palace maid walking outside the door.
This palace maid is holding a white silk in her hand!
Huo Baiyang took this white silk and looked at Ning Zhiyi, who was surprised.
"Your Highness, it has been more than five years since the minister was by your side."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust in your ministers over the years."
"Your Highness, you are a good person!"
"The minister can't bear to do anything to His Highness, it's just ...... If His Highness does not die, the task of the minister cannot be completed. ”
"Actually, it's not too important whether the minister's task is completed or not, but Mr. said that it is better to solve this kind of thing as soon as possible!"
"Li Chenan said that sparks can start a prairie fire, so Mr. thinks that all those sparks should be extinguished."
"Today, Li Chenan has entered the palace, Your Highness, please go on the road!"
Huo Baiyang hung the white silk on the beam, tied the knot, and brought a stool, but Ning Zhiyi did not move.
He looked at Huo Baiyang, looked at it for a long time, and asked:
"So, you're also a person who is Xi Wei?"
Huo Baiyang bowed: "The minister doesn't dare to deceive His Highness, the minister is not Xi Lao's person, because the minister's identity is not enough, but the minister obeys Xi Lao's orders, and he is one of his old man's hands...... Pawn! ”
"Isn't your Huo family having a grudge against Li Chen'an?"
Huo Baiyang smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Compared with this world matter, I am afraid that that little thing has already been left out of the clouds. ”
Ning Zhiyi's already small eyes narrowed slightly, "So at this time, you used the life of this palace to ask Li Chen'an for glory?" ”
Huo Baiyang shook his head, "Your Highness is wrong!" ”
"His Royal Highness committed suicide, and the minister will also leave the country."
"Gongzi Li will not know that His Royal Highness's suicide was committed by the minister, and the minister only carried out Xi Lao's order to help Gongzi Li extinguish a spark."
"Your Highness, the hour is almost up, it's time for you to hit the road!"
"If the minister returns to Ningguo and comes to Kyoto in the future, the minister will definitely go to the tomb of His Royal Highness to put a stick of incense!"
Ning Zhiyi closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them again, "Since Bengong is going to die, can you tell Bengong who Xi Wei is?" ”
Huo Baiyang shook his head again: "I'm sorry, Xi Lao is also dead." ”
Ning Zhiyi was stunned: "When?" ”
"Just last night!"
“…… Where are you going? ”
"The minister will go to the country of Wu."
"Why did you go to Wu Kingdom?"
"Old Xi's last words said that Li Gongzi is very likely to go to Wu State. The minister is a pawn, and he should go to the front station first. ”
"What if I don't want to kill myself?"
"This ......"
Huo Baiyang didn't say anything more, he took off the white silk, and then walked behind Ning Zhiyi.
Ning Zhiyi suddenly turned around, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Your Highness, your spark must be extinguished, or ......"
He put the white silk on Ning Zhiyi's neck and strangled it!
"Otherwise, it will be difficult to settle down!"
"Your death is actually heavier than Mount Tai!"
Ning Zhiyi struggled, kicked his legs, his face gradually turned purple, and then stopped moving.
Huo Baiyang sighed slightly, hung this white silk on the beam of the room, and then picked up Ning Zhiyi's heavy body and hung it on the white silk.
He looked at Ning Zhiyi, who was already angry, and suddenly whispered:
"You are really a good person, but you were born in the emperor's family!"
He turned away and closed the door with his hand.
He took the palace maid out of a defensive void in the harem and left the palace without going to Kyoto's Huo Mansion.
He is the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, although the official residence is of the fourth grade, but in the huge temple, he is insignificant.
No one cares that the court is missing a Shao Zhan thing.
Except for Li Chen'an, no one even doubted the death of the crown prince.
When Li Chenan released the officials who were locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, when he came to the Prince's East Palace, what he saw was a fat man hanging on the beam in the study!
He narrowed his eyes.
He circled around Ning Zhiyi's corpse twice, and his feet were not sagging, they were flat!
Murder!
He didn't expose it, but just sighed: "Why can't you think about it?" ”
Ning Chuchu had already lost his voice and cried.
Wail!
When Xiao Wu and the others put down Ning Zhiyi's body, Ning Chuchu threw himself on Ning Zhiyi's chest and cried.
Li Chenan didn't say anything more.
Just sighed in my heart.
Xi Wei has done this thing too much!
The fat man, who is harmless to humans and animals, is a good man, but he has become a victim of this struggle!
……
The evening breeze is coming slowly, and it is a little cool.
Hua Manting sat in the small cabin, with a few dishes and a pot of wine on the table.
He picked up his glass and slowly spilled it on the ground.
"This glass of wine, toast the past!"
Su Muxin poured another glass of wine for him.
He spilled on the ground again.
"This glass of wine, to those who deserve to die and those who don't deserve to die!"
Su Muxin poured him a third glass of wine.
He raised his glass and drank.
"This cup, toast!"
