"System? Isn't it you? ”

Jiang Tang whispered in his heart.

Unfortunately, there was no response.

Her fingertips moved slightly, but she didn't give up, and called a few more times: "System? ”

But as always, there was still no response.

She couldn't help but feel a little lost, and when she was in a trance, a strange little eunuch came behind her: "His Royal Highness King Rong, the emperor is invited." ”

Jiang Tang came back to his senses instantly, and saw that the man next to him had a cold face and a calm expression, as if he had expected it.

She was about to say something, but her right hand was gently held, and the man's dark eyes seemed to hide many emotions that she couldn't understand: "Wait for me to come back." ”

Leaving these words, Xiao Yinhan stood up, his arrogant back was resolute, like a soldier about to go to the battlefield.

Jiang Tang didn't know what he thought, and subconsciously stopped her: "Lord Wang! ”

The man's footsteps paused, and he looked back at her.

She smiled softly, "I'll wait for you." ”

Under the brilliant lights, the girl looked up and smiled affectionately at him, her eyes were shining, and the stars were falling. In an instant, the surrounding bustling background blurred into a vague phantom in his eyes, and she was the only bright color in the world.

Xiao Yinhan's heart trembled slightly, and thousands of words finally turned into a low "um" on the tip of his tongue.

Xiao Yinhan was called away, and Jiang Tang was the only one sitting there on the table, his weak and beautiful appearance made the hearts of the people around him move slightly.

"System, are you back?"

Jiang Tang tried to call the system again, but just like just now, there would be no response.

"Zilazi—"

This time her voice was clearer than before, and she looked up, her eyes brightened......

-

Xiao Yinhan was led by the little eunuch, away from the noisy banquet of silk and bamboo, and came to a palace.

Standing at the door was the emperor's personal eunuch: "Lord, the emperor is inside." ”

With these words, the well-trained guards guarding the door moved out of the way behind them.

Xiao Yinhan didn't speak, and walked in expressionlessly.

Surprisingly, there was no palm lamp in the palace, only the lanterns outside were shining, and the majestic palace in the day showed a somewhat eerie atmosphere at this moment.

A figure stood in the center of the hall with his back to him, and Xiao Yinhan walked over and saluted: "Participate in the emperor." ”

Then there was no sound.

As if deliberately punishing him, Emperor Huaiwen didn't tell him to get up for a long time.

Xiao Yinhan was not in a hurry, just knelt like that, without saying a word.

Time slipped away slowly in the confrontation, and neither father nor son spoke, as if whoever spoke first would lose.

I don't know how long it took like this, but it was Emperor Huaiwen who was defeated first: "Get up!" ”

It's just that the tone is not very good, and you can hear the anger in it.

Xiao Yinhan was not entangled: "Thank you, Father." Then he got up neatly.

The movements are crisp and neat, and his posture is tall and long, as if he was not kneeling just now.

"Do you know what I told you to do?" Emperor Huaiwen opened his mouth directly.

Xiao Yinhan raised his head, with a little rebelliousness: "Erchen doesn't know." ”

"I don't know!" Emperor Huaiwen was almost laughed at by him: "Then I ask you, what do you want to do when you bring that woman to the palace banquet today?" ”

Xiao Yinhan finally looked at his father and said eight words: "When the road is uneven, redress the grievances of the people." ”

This reason almost didn't choke Emperor Huaiwen.

He took two deep breaths: "You can redress the grievances of the people at any time, why do you have to do it today?" You think it was the fifth child who did it? ”

In Emperor Huaiwen's heart, although he loved Xiao Yinhan, he didn't think that his son could do something that destroyed people's humanity.

To put it simply, he didn't believe that the five princes did it.

Xiao Yinhan knew his good father so well that he was not surprised at all when he heard this.

"My father doesn't believe my evidence, so let's wait for the results of Dali Temple."

Xiao Yinhan said so, and Emperor Huaiwen didn't want to entangle, so he just wanted to say the next sentence, but was interrupted by him:

"The matter of the fifth child is just a convenient hand, and the son of the minister entered the palace today because he wanted to ask his godfather."

Emperor Huaiwen was dissatisfied with the word "handy" in Xiao Yinhan's mouth, and the next moment his attention was attracted by the second half of his sentence: "What's the matter?" ”

"I want to know," Xiao Yinhan looked at his father's eyes, "How did my mother die." ”

Emperor Huaiwen's face sank instantly, he was just angry just now, and his expression at this moment could be called angry: "Your mother's death was just an accident, how many times have you said it." ”

"I don't believe it!"

"It's been so many years, why do you bother with it anymore!"

"Because she's my mother."

Xiao Yinhan said this sentence word by word, which instantly made Emperor Huaiwen's throat seem to be blocked by cotton, and he couldn't speak.

Xiao Yinhan closed his eyes and looked away: "My mother sent a letter out of the palace before she died. But the people who came to answer her were stopped. ”

“…… Entering the palace was an accident, and the Jade Lady would leave the palace sooner or later. She is the master of the trading house, and if she wants to leave the palace, everyone must help her. ”

"On the day I received the letter, I actually went to Jingshui Tower, no matter what, I still have to do what I promised...... Before I could enter the building, I was caught. ”

"Who caught you?"

"I don't know, but ...... Those people are well-trained, very imposing, and they are not ordinary people at first glance. So I guess it's ......"

Xiao Yinhan opened his eyes again, his eyes were so cold that he didn't have a trace of emotion, he just told his guess directly: "If my guess is correct, it was the people in the palace who stopped them." ”

Emperor Huaiwen didn't react, Xiao Yinhan knew that he really knew about it!

"I also know that although the mother concubine has entered the palace, she never thought of giving birth to you."

"Where did you hear this nonsense!"

Emperor Huaiwen, who had just been gentle and elegant, had a great change in face at this moment, and finally revealed his hideous side, looking at his son in front of him with cold and terrifying eyes, and the emperor's majesty was revealed at this moment.

But Xiao Yinhan didn't seem to be aware of anything, or he wasn't afraid, so he looked at his father like this.

This time, it was Emperor Huaiwen who looked away first: "I don't know where you heard these rumors!" Your mother and I are in love, and your birth is in our anticipation......"

"The people of the Xueyi tribe will not intermarry with foreigners."

Xiao Yinhan said a word, and all the sophistries of Emperor Huaiwen came to an abrupt end.

He was like a lightning strike, his eyes staring at him were full of horror, and the gentle mask collapsed at this moment, and people could finally get a glimpse of the truth behind the mask.

"You, how did you know that your mother is, ...... is?"

Xiao Yinhan didn't answer this question, but Emperor Huaiwen himself seemed to slowly figure it out.

However, the rebel's words continued: "She obviously didn't want to marry you, but she still entered the palace; I didn't want to have children, but I still had me, so I ......"

Xiao Yinhan was stunned, and finally showed some real hatred in his eyes, and asked, "You knew from the beginning that she would not stay with you forever." So when she's leaving, you're going to kill you, right? ”

"Presumptuous!"

Emperor Huaiwen was furious: "Bastard, do you know who you are talking to?" ”

"I just want to know how my mother died!" Xiao Yinhan's eyes were red: "Is it, is it my father who killed her......"

"You, you ......"

Emperor Huaiwen was so angry that his eyes darkened, and his body staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, he finally stabilized, but his voice was extremely angry: "If I don't tell you, how will you stay?" ”

Xiao Yinhan pursed his lips: "I will continue to investigate until the truth is reached......"

"What if I don't let you look into it!"

Emperor Huaiwen was so angry that he even forgot to call me and interrupted the unfilial son fiercely.

Xiao Yinhan didn't speak, but that look in his eyes had already said his answer:

He will not be obedient.

"Okay, good, good, I really spoiled a good son!"

Emperor Huaiwen said six "good" in a row, and you can hear how angry he is at the moment.

Looking at his crumbling figure, Xiao Yinhan wanted to go over to help people, but in the end he just clenched his palms: "So, please tell me the truth." ”

Emperor Huaiwen did not answer him, but suddenly said something that was not related to him: "You should know that today, I originally planned to make you the crown prince, and the holy decree has been prepared and is just waiting to be promulgated. ”

This sentence, so to speak, is very explosive at any time.

Even Xiao Yinhan, who prides himself on being firm, was in a trance for a moment when he heard this.

Emperor Huaiwen's knife-like gaze fell on his son's face, and his tone was heavy: "As long as you promise not to pursue the death of your mother and concubine, then I will immediately announce that you will be made the crown prince!" After a hundred years, the throne of the Great Liang will only be inherited by you! Would you like to? ”

This can be said to be the most heartwarming promise in the whole world, as long as you are a person with a brain, you should know how to choose.

After Emperor Huaiwen finished speaking, he did not urge, waiting for Xiao Yinhan's choice.

Xiao Yinhan knew in his heart that his father would not joke about this matter, as long as he agreed, from now on, he would really be above ten thousand people under one person.

But he didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere, which had already changed somewhat, became tense again with his silence.

Emperor Huaiwen snorted heavily, and asked again, "Are you willing?" ”

Xiao Yinhan gritted his teeth heavily, as if he had tasted blood in his mouth.

Then, under the shocked gaze of Emperor Huaiwen, he knelt down: "Ask my father to tell my son the truth about my mother's death!" ”

"Boom-"

A thunderclap exploded in the air, followed by torrential rain, and the originally lively banquet scene instantly panicked.

"What are you doing? Does Qin Tianjian eat dry rice? ”

The sixth prince scolded angrily, and then had to go to hide from the rain with the palace people with umbrellas.

At this moment, his gaze accidentally swept to the slender and beautiful figure not far away.

The beauty sat there alone, and the fourth brother didn't come back, this ......

The sixth prince moved: "I'll go and talk to my sister-in-law......

Jiang Tang sat on the seat, his delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Since the beginning of this summer, she has a lot of dislike for thunderstorms.

Because every time this weather comes to her, it will bring her a bad experience, making her suspect that every rainy day is the original consciousness is finding fault.

Tonight too, I was in a bad mood, because the arrival of this heavy rain made it even worse.

She looked at the rain curtain outside the hall, her fingers clenched unconsciously, and for some reason, she began to worry that Xiao Yinhan, who had been gone for a long time, was coming.

At this moment, an unfamiliar male voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Concubine Niangniang, the nobleman is invited, please come with the slave."

Jiang Tang's heart jumped suddenly, and that uneasiness deepened again......

-

“…… If you don't listen to good words, you don't want the position of prince, Xiao Yinhan, do you really think that I only have you a choice? ”

Jiang Tang had just walked into the hall when she heard such a sentence, her heart was beating wildly, and she always felt that her ominous premonition had been fulfilled again.

But the long sword around her neck made her unable to speak, so she could only stand quietly in place, listening to the confrontation outside the curtain continue.

"Erchen doesn't dare."

Where Xiao Yinhan knelt, his back was straight.

Jiang Tang had never seen him look so embarrassed, and he looked at him in a daze, a little distracted for a while.

The people outside didn't seem to know about her arrival, and Emperor Huaiwen breathed angrily for a while, before he looked at the unfilial son on the ground again, and his tone was extremely heavy:

"I'll give you one last chance: do you want the truth, or the crown prince?"

Jiang Tang didn't react yet, and kept looking at the man on the ground.

The little eunuch who kidnapped her next to her was a little shocked, after all, who would have thought that it would be such a trouble, and the emperor still wanted to make King Rong the crown prince?

Who isn't shocked by this!

Xiao Yinhan's throat moved up and down, but he still said the same sentence when he spoke again: "Erchen wants to ...... The truth! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a feeling that the dust had settled.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Huaiwen was no longer as angry as Fang Cai, and even a little sarcastic: "You mean, you don't even want that woman, do you?" ”

Xiao Yinhan frowned slightly, and before he could ask anything, he heard the sound of a gauze curtain not far away.

Then a palace maid rushed in, and the candle in her hand quickly lit up the hall.

The lights were like day, and behind the curtains, the girl stood there in a light red palace skirt, the lights softened her delicate facial features, and she looked more and more beautiful like jade.

She just stood there, staring at him quietly.

A flash of surprise flashed in Xiao Yinhan's eyes, and then he looked away ruthlessly, and his voice was extremely indifferent:

"Don't. The father doesn't think that just a woman can make his son give up, right? Erchen can't even be the crown prince, what is she? ”

Emperor Huaiwen looked at Jiang Tang, and the girl's pale and panicked face made his eyes flash with satisfaction.

"In that case," he said, he raised his hand, "give me wine." ”

As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch in palace clothes walked in front of Jiang Tang with a glass of wine.

Jiang Tang looked down at the thin jade wine glass in front of him, slightly distracted, and the next moment the emperor's bewitching voice sounded in the hall: "I will also give you a chance, as long as you can persuade King Rong to give up, then you don't have to drink this cup of poisonous wine." The position of the crown princess is also yours! ”

It is said that there is no joke in the king, not to mention that there are so many "witnesses" in the temple at this moment.

Jiang Tang subconsciously looked at the man on the ground, but he lowered his head and didn't look at her, as if he wanted to teach her to make all the decisions herself.

Jiang Tang couldn't wait for Xiao Yinhan's answer, so he had to return his gaze to the wine glass in front of him.

Let's go to bed first, and there are two more, so it's going to be late......
