Wujia Village.

At the moment when Xiaoxue disappeared into this world, the man lying on the bed moved his fingers, and then opened his eyes unconsciously.

He looked at the familiar and unfamiliar furnishings in the room, and was a little stunned for a moment.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Yun Shu suddenly saw Ye Xiu who was sitting up, and the basin in his hand fell to the ground.

She didn't care, staring blankly at Ye Xiu's eyes, and even thought she was hallucinating.

The moment Ye Xiu saw Yun Shu, surprise crossed his intact eye, and after realizing that this was not a dream, he hurriedly reached for the mask on the table.

Yun Shu finally came to her senses, rushed to the bed and grabbed his wrist, she held it so hard, as if she was trying to determine something? It's like trying to carve the other party into the blood and bones.

Night Xiu only meekly let her move. Seeing Yun Shu staring at his face tightly, he instinctively turned his face away, and his voice was hoarse: "Don't look at the princess...... It's not pretty! ”

Yun Shu's eyes were sour, she gently pulled his face, and bent her lips and smiled: "Who said that, my Ah Xiu is the number one warrior in Gaochang, so he is naturally good-looking." ”

With that, he raised his hand and wrapped his arms around the man's waist. Ye Xiu was afraid that she would fall, so he skillfully lowered his body so that she could lean more comfortably.

Yun Shu said softly: "When you are healed, we will get married, okay?" ”

If it hadn't been for those changes, they would have been married at the age of sixteen and would have been together for the rest of their lives. Now that God has mercy on the two of them again, she will not miss it again.

Ye Xiu felt the soaking heat on her chest, raised her hand like when she was a child, and gently rubbed the top of her hair: "Okay." ”

The two were childhood sweethearts, and he knew at a very young age that the princess would marry him when she grew up, and he would protect the princess for the rest of his life. He was never reluctant to refuse the princess's request, let alone such a request.

……

Shen Mingjiao and the others returned to Wujiazhai, and after resting for a night, they packed their bags, waved goodbye to Xiuxiu and other people in Wujiazhai, and quickly embarked on the journey back to Beijing.

On the way, Feng Lisheng passed by the underworld who was riding a horse and ran in front, and thanked him lightly: "The hard-working Hades Pavilion Lord has been running around with us all this time. ”

Silently clamped the horse's belly: "It's good to say, let's run the rivers and lakes, and the one who gives the money is the uncle." ”

Feng Lisheng couldn't see the emotion, and asked casually: "I don't know what the Lord of the Underworld Pavilion plans to do next?" ”

Glancing at him: "Of course I will continue to follow you, I will do my best along the way, you are a dignified prince, you will not be so stingy, you will not even invite a decent meal!" ”

After saying that, he ignored him, raised his horsewhip and ran away.

Feng Lisheng lightly withdrew his gaze, his face was not very good.

……

Capital.

The officials of the yamen felt that the court was not very smooth this year. First of all, His Majesty fell ill at the beginning of the year, and it took several months to finally recover, but he suddenly said that he wanted to go to the Xiyuan Palace to recuperate for a while. Many sensitive courtiers have already smelled the unusual, and the next day may be that the court may be about to change.

Those who are wise enough to protect themselves are low-key and low-key, but there are also many people who have floating thoughts.

The East Palace looks no different from the usual, the prince still insists on entering the palace every day to greet the emperor and queen, and the name of filial piety can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, if you pay close attention, you will find that the internal guards of the East Palace have been strengthened several times, and the study in the front yard is full of fresh faces coming in and out all day long.

The great eunuch Wu Ming pushed open the door of the study with tea, and the prince sat behind the bookcase, his face tired, but the look in his eyes became more and more fierce day by day.

Wu Mingchang sighed and gently put the teacup in the prince's hand: "Master, rest for a while!" You haven't closed your eyes in days. ”

The prince took a sip of strong tea, his mind was a lot more energetic, and when he heard Wu Ming's words, he sneered: "Now is the critical moment, success or failure is in this move, how dare you rest!" ”

Wu Ming also no longer persuaded him, since a few days ago the prince received the news that Feng Lisheng was still alive and about to return to Beijing, he had always been patient and restrained, and he fell in the study for an afternoon.

After that, he began to secretly summon many people, and the light in the study was almost not extinguished all night. Wu Ming knew what he was going to do? After so many years of dormancy, the master finally embarked on this road.

A black-clothed shadow guard appeared silently, and the prince put down the teacup and raised his eyes lightly: "Where is Feng Lisheng now?" ”

"I have left Yuecheng, according to the speed of King Su and others, I will be able to reach the capital in about half a month."

The prince tapped the tea bowl with the lid of the tea, his eyes drooping and groaning. The staff member on the side proposed: "Why don't you find someone on the way...... and he made a gesture to wipe his neck.

The crown prince glanced at him and asked him: "Do you know why the news of Feng Lisheng's life was transmitted back to the East Palace in the first place?" Is it because the people below him are cautious, or is it because Feng Lisheng is too careless? No, that's what he deliberately revealed to Lone, why do you say? ”

He sneered: "Naturally, he wants to force us to mess up and force Gu to take the initiative to raise the anti-flag, and at that time, Feng Lisheng will bring people back to rehabilitate, so that he can justifiably get rid of Gu."

Scold! What a last resort! ”

has already missed once, and if you want someone to murder Feng Lisheng, it will be self-defeating.

The staff is silent, he can be the confidant and adviser next to the prince, he can naturally understand this, but he has come to this point, they have to rebel if they don't rebel, this is a conspiracy!

……

The next day, the crown prince entered the palace as usual, and since Da Jing and the emperor recovered from his illness, he insisted on moving to the west courtyard despite the minister's persuasion.

His Majesty's illness was indeed cured, but that day for some reason he suddenly fell and suffered a stroke.

The crown prince hid the news from the outside world, saying that the border line had just been stabilized, and if the news of His Majesty's stroke came out at this time, it would inevitably shake the hearts of the people, and he quietly moved people to the west courtyard.

As soon as the prince entered the main hall, he saw the queen walking out with a basin and a haggard face. The prince hurriedly stepped forward to take the basin with one hand, and gently held the queen's arm with the other: "These things are done by the people below, why do you work so hard Queen Mother!" ”

The queen was helped to sit on the chair by him, and sighed tiredly: "It's okay, I'm busy to be more steady, besides, your father is suddenly like this...... Ay! I really don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others. ”

After speaking, he pressed the corner of his forehead with a handkerchief, sighed and said: "You said that Your Majesty's body has always been healthy, how can you be so dignified!" ”

The crown prince also lowered his head sadly: "Father is just too tired, maybe he can slowly get better after lying in bed for a few months." ”

The queen has heard too many similar words in the past few days, she waved her hand and said: "Forget it, don't talk about this, didn't you say that Xiao Sixteen has news, when will he come back?" And your uncle, I had someone deliver the letter a few days earlier, and I was really uneasy when they weren't there! ”

Obviously, compared with him, the crown prince, at this time, the queen believes that Feng Lisheng, who has made great achievements, can calm the current situation.

The crown prince lowered his eyes, and his tone was as gentle as ever: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the son just received the news that the little emperor uncle has left Moon City, and he will be able to return to Beijing in half a month, as for the uncle...... The retainers didn't know. ”

The queen took a sip of strong tea: "That's it, your uncle has been bitter all these years, he could have been idle for a lifetime, but if something like that happened to your cousin, your aunt and uncle ...... He's been looking for that kid out there for so many years, and he doesn't know when he's going to be a head! ”

The prince casually comforted a few words, and he thought sarcastically in his heart, I was afraid that he was going to disappoint the queen mother!

Two months ago, Ying Wei had found Xingqi's body on the outskirts of the city, and Wei Che would never find a result in his life.

"Mother and son" chatted a few more words, and the queen waved his hand to let him go to the apse, and was helped by the palace maid to the apse.

The prince stood there staring at her departing back, the gentleness and harmlessness of the deliberate camouflage faded, and his eyes were very complicated.

Half a month later, this only one who is truly true to him will also disappear.

If...... How nice it would be for the queen to be his real mother!

……

The prince walked into the inner hall, and the great eunuch Gonggong Li bowed respectfully, and then exchanged a look with him, and then waved his hand to let everyone in the room go down, and then guarded the door.

The idle people waited for them to leave, and the prince dragged the chair on the side and sat down without pretending, looking at the man lying on the dragon couch with wide eyes with a faint expression:

"Surprised, isn't it? Erchen thought that with his father's wisdom, he should have guessed it a long time ago! That's right, Li Decai has always been the son of the minister, thanks to him, the son can successfully take care of his father's dragon body. ”

This meant something, Jing and Emperor who were lying on the bed glared fiercely, and he wanted to speak. Only a low hoarse sound came from his throat, like a broken bellows. The mouth is crooked, leaving saliva physiologically. How can there be a little bit of the majestic and calm emperor in the past?

The prince took the handkerchief and wiped it for him casually, and sighed lightly: "Why can't my father keep pretending to be stupid?" ”

The crown prince never dared to despise him, the father who looked honest and easy-going.

Emperor Jinghe didn't know it at first, but as his throat disease did not improve, the southwest border was unstable, until Feng Lisheng had an accident, it was impossible for Emperor Jinghe not to notice it, but he chose not to move.

The prince knew that he was planning to plan and force out the people behind him little by little.

After getting what he wanted, he directly used poison to make people have a stroke. Before he takes full power, Emperor Jing and Emperor can't die yet!

Emperor Jing He is in the prime of life, if he dies suddenly, what will those who have a heart think? Feng Lisheng is not here, those kings will not live in peace! At that time, Daxia will inevitably be chaotic for a while, and it is enough for him to deal with one Feng Lisheng, and he really doesn't want to add trouble to himself!

And he has always liked to keep his hands behind, if he loses in the end, Jing and Emperor can become his bargaining chips to get out.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he walked out of the main hall and returned to the East Palace slowly as usual. When some of the officials I met on the road saw it, they all praised the prince in their hearts for his filial piety.

The prince returned to the study of the East Palace and handed the letter written in advance to the shadow guard: "Hurry up and send it to Xianyang County, tell Mr. Qin that you can start acting,"

The staff on the side felt that it was inappropriate, and carefully persuaded: "Master, that is an army of nearly 50,000 people, and we have spent countless manpower and material resources to cultivate it for many years, so should it really be wasted like this?" ”

The prince squeezed the paperweight's hand for a moment, and said lightly: "As long as you can get rid of Feng Lisheng, it will be worth the price." ”

If he hadn't been forced to this point, he would be reluctant to use the hard-trained elite soldiers as cannon fodder.

"Feng Lisheng must have returned to Beijing this time with the southwest army, no matter how many killers he sent, it would be useless. So since you can't kill him, let the world kill him. ”

His plan was very simple, let the 50,000 private soldiers raised in Qin land dress up as the Northwest Army,

Feng Lisheng was in charge of most of the soldiers and horses in Great Xia. Especially the Northwest. And where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the Northwest Army is nearly 200,000, and it is impossible for everyone among these people to be loyal to Feng Lisheng. He bribed several high-ranking generals.

Let them take these 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack the imperial court in the name of Feng Lisheng, and they must rush ahead of Feng Lisheng and others on the road to Beijing, and the means must be cruel, or directly slaughter the city.

As the saying goes, if the whip doesn't hit you, you never know how much it hurts. No matter how strong the rumors about Feng Lisheng were before, people would only listen to them as stories, and at most they would sigh a few words. But if it is a cruel slaughter of the city by direct means, then the court of the world can still sit still?

At that time, Feng Lisheng passed by with a large number of soldiers and horses, which was equivalent to being convicted of the crime, and no matter what Feng Lisheng said at that time, the world would no longer believe it.

At that time, he can justifiably arrest Feng Lisheng in the name of the imperial court.

Although a lot of people are going to die, he doesn't care anymore.

The staff knew that he had made up his mind, pursed his lips, and couldn't help but ask the doubts he had always had in his heart:

"Why is the master so persistent in getting rid of King Su? Your Majesty takes the liberty of saying that you are the only prince of the current emperor, even if you have done something wrong, you are a rightful prince. And King Su has foreign blood. It is destined not to inherit the unification. Even if you are on the throne now, there is no reason for King Su to pull you down when he returns to Beijing. ”

Although the prince didn't say it, he could roughly guess that the death of the first prince must have something to do with his master. He thought that the crown prince was afraid that King Su would tell the matter after returning to Beijing.

But the road to the emperor has always been accompanied by blades, and from ancient times to the present, there are almost few emperors who have not been touched with the blood of their brothers and relatives before ascending to the throne, such as today's saints. Everyone knows this kind of thing.

The first prince has been dead for nearly seven years, as long as the master becomes the emperor, even if this matter is revealed, as long as he does not recognize it, he will only be talked about a few words.

He really didn't understand what the master was afraid of?

Wu Ming, who was standing silently in the corner, sighed lightly in his heart, if it was just like this, of course it was nothing? But the crown prince is not royal blood at all!
