Just when Yang Wei led the army to slaughter like locusts crossing the grassland, a huge storm was brewing in the palace. When Emperor Wen saw the corpses of his own son and grandson, he fainted again, and in two days, Emperor Wen seemed to have experienced twenty years, and he was much older.

The queen sat on the soft couch in the dormitory, her son who was going to be the emperor died, her son who was very filial to her died, and where she would go in the second half of her life was now in a fog. is not only the grief of losing her son, but also the unknown of her fate, her tears have flowed in these days, and now she is in a trance and is on the verge of collapse.

Emperor Wen sat on the side, everything that should have been said had been said, and the words of comfort had been said, the grief in his heart was not much less than that of the queen, but he couldn't fall, he could only suppress the grief. The funeral continued, he did not summon King Lu, he still had illusions in his heart, hoping that Jin Yiwei would be able to find out the evidence that was not instructed by King Lu in the past few days, and he could not bear the truth of cannibalism.

At this moment, Wan Shun entered the Fengyi Palace and whispered beside Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty, Wang Yue asks to see him, just wait outside, can the emperor see him?" Wang Yue was standing outside the hall at this time, waiting respectfully.

Ji Chang was also outside the palace at this time, and was probing his brain to see the situation in the palace, when he saw Emperor Wen coming out, he hurriedly said: "Father!" Emperor Wen nodded expressionlessly, and then said to Wang Yue: "Follow me." He walked to the location of the imperial study, he did not dare to ask here, for fear of irritating the queen again.

Ji Chang saw Emperor Wen walking away, and then walked into Fengyi Palace quickly, these days, he came over every day to accompany his mother, he and the prince were born to the queen, and the queen's state also made him anxious.

Emperor Wen entered the study, and before he could sit down, he couldn't wait to ask Wang Yuedao: "Did you find out anything?"

Wang Yue said: "I found out a piece of news, when I assassinated the emperor, I was caught by Gonggong Wan, and then one of the people who committed suicide in fear of crime had been in King Lu's mansion for a month, and I had also seen King Lu once, and what he said specifically, because there were only two of them present at the time, and there was no way to find out." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Emperor Wen's breath become heavy, his face turned red, and it could be seen from his eyes that Emperor Wen was on the verge of breaking out. With a "bang", Emperor Wen's hand slapped heavily on the bookcase, and instructed Wan Shun: "Bring me this rebel Ji Rui." ”

After speaking, he sat heavily on the chair, waved his hand at Wang Yue, and said weakly: "Go down." Wang Yue hurriedly retreated, and walked backwards out of the imperial study. Emperor Wen stroked his forehead with his hand, his brows furrowed, looking at Emperor Wen, Wang Yue had the illusion of looking at a volcano that was about to erupt.

Ji Rui followed Wan Shun on the way to the palace, a little apprehensive in his heart, but more excited. The prince's family is all dead, and he, the second prince, will become the first heir in line, and the prince's position is already in his pocket, and there is no controversy at all.

It's just that the timing is not right now, the prince's funeral has not been completed, and the emperor summoned him to the palace, which is definitely not for the prince's position. Thinking of this, Ji Rui asked Wan Shundao: "Father-in-law Wan, what is the reason why my father is looking for this king?"

Wan Shun glanced at Ji Rui with some pity, and said in an official tone: "How do the miscellaneous families know? The emperor must have something big going to King Lu to go." Otherwise, how could the emperor summon His Royal Highness King Lu at this juncture?" Wan Shun looked at him pitiful, and said a few more words, but he didn't understand it, it depended on his Wu surname.

Ji Rui is still confused, and one of the major events now is the war in the north, which has nothing to do with him. In addition to the war, there are only two things: the assassination of the prince and the assassination of the emperor. Thinking of this, his heart was even more worried, I wonder if his father had found some evidence against him? To say that the biggest beneficiary of these two things is his Ji Rui.

Ji Rui asked Wan Shun again: "How was my father's mood just now?" This time, Wan Shun ignored him. Tell him this, it is already benevolent and righteous, and if you say more, Emperor Wen will not be able to explain it.

The two of them continued on their way without saying a word. When the two entered the imperial study, Emperor Wen was sitting on the chair frowning, his eyes closed, I don't know what he was thinking, and there was a lot of evidence written on the table with Wang Yue's previous recitals.

Emperor Wen felt that someone was coming in, opened his eyes, and saw that Ji Rui was looking at him with a worried face, and he couldn't help but feel angry. However, he immediately forcibly suppressed it and said to Ji Rui: "Rui'er, your eldest brother's family was killed, and he didn't even leave a son. Speaking of this, there was a pause, Emperor Wen was trying to suppress his sadness and anger and adjust his emotions.

Ji Rui didn't know this, thinking that the emperor wanted to hear his opinion, and hurriedly continued: "Yes, after Erchen knew the news, he was also extremely sad and angry, and he investigated it as soon as possible, because there was no evidence, so he did not report it to his father, and everything seemed to be related to Taoism." ”

Emperor Wen's anger finally couldn't be suppressed anymore, he stood up "Teng", bypassed the bookcase, came to Ji Rui, kicked Ji Rui to the ground with one kick, picked up the fold placed on the bookcase and smashed it in Ji Rui's face. He said angrily: "What Taoism? Trace, Check yourself?!"

Ji Rui's complexion changed greatly, and when he picked up the fold and took a cursory look, his face became more and more pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Emperor Wen saw it in his eyes, and he was even more convinced that Ji Rui thought that the East Window incident had such a performance, and he was even more angry. Ji Rui got up, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said sharply: "Father, the child is wronged! The child has never had the intention of murdering his father and eldest brother!"

Emperor Wen was so angry that his whole body was trembling, he pointed at Ji Rui with trembling fingers, and said loudly: "Come on, escort this rebel son back to his palace, no holy decree, never take a step out of the palace!"

Immediately, Zhang Chang rushed in from outside the hall with a group of guards, and separated two guards to pick up Xi Rui and leave, ignoring Xi Rui's crying, they knew that Xi Rui was over from this moment on.

Emperor Wen pointed at Ji Rui's hand and slowly withdrew it, and once again tightly grasped the placket on his chest, his heart ached! Wan Shun's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Emperor Wen and shouted, "Imperial Doctor!"

The imperial doctor hurriedly ran in from outside the palace, and in the past few days, there was an imperial doctor following Emperor Wen at any time, and Emperor Wen's heart disease was getting worse and worse, and no one dared to take it lightly.
