Above the vast snowy fields, the wind is raging, and an army is advancing at full speed.

Bai Muzhi endured the bumps on the horse with difficulty, the biting ice and snow slapped on her face, making her almost unable to breathe, and her eyes were still stubbornly staring at the cold and upright figure at the front of the team.

She wanted to open her mouth countless times to ask Xiao Yinhan to slow down, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

It's not that I don't want to say it, but after saying it, I only got the man's ruthless sentence: "If you can't keep up, stay, no one will force you to go together." ”

When the woman was no longer on the same road, he gave a military order: hurry at full speed, there must be no mistakes!

I don't care that there are other weaklings in the team!

Bai Muzhi is stubborn, so she would rather hold her breath and grit her teeth and endure it than let Xiao Yinhan look down on her.

It's just that Xiao Yinhan doesn't know if he saw it, but it made the soldiers in the team who originally had a complicated perception of her more favorable.

But to her, it didn't seem that much of the favor outside of that person.

From the moment he left the Xueyi Clan, Xiao Yinhan hurried desperately, forcing himself not to think about what would happen after he left.

I don't dare to think about it.

Suddenly, his heart ached, as if a sharp knife had pierced his heart.

Xiao Yin reined in the cold snow, and the snowflakes splashed by the horse's hooves.

His whole body seemed to be frozen suddenly, and he froze in place and did not move.

An indescribable feeling spread through his heart, as if something more important to him than his life had suddenly disappeared from this world.

His heart was surrounded by a deep, suffocating panic, as if he had sunk into the abyss of despair in an instant.

I can barely hold the reins in my hands.

The soldiers looked at each other, looking at the prince who suddenly stopped, not knowing what was happening.

At this moment, Xiao Yinhan suddenly turned his horse's head and seemed to be about to run back in the direction he left.

He wanted to go back, he wanted to stop her from leaving.

Didn't she say that she would always be with him?

"Xiao Yinhan, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Muzhi squeezed up from the end of the line, and when he saw the statue-like man, he couldn't help frowning and calling him.

But Xiao Yinhan didn't seem to hear the outside world at all, her slender fingers pressed the position of her chest, and the empty and helpless expression on her handsome face was something she had never seen before.

It made her heart feel an indescribable sourness.

Looking at the flames burning in the man's dark eyes, she thought that he was going to rush back desperately in the next moment......

Xiao Yinhan turned the horse's head abruptly and said in a deep voice: "Continue to hurry, there must be no mistake!" ”

Then with a whip of his horse, the first one rushed forward, as if the person who had just lost his soul in the direction of departure was someone else.

Bai Muzhi, who was closest to him, was almost injured by the man's rude movements when he turned around, and when he sat down again, his figure had already turned into a black shadow and rushed into the distance.

She was left in place, but she didn't move for a long time, and her mind recalled the picture she had just seen at a glance over and over again—

Xiao Yinhan, the guy who was so unruly that even the Son of Heaven dared not to put it in his eyes, had red eyes.

Bai Muzhi unconsciously raised her hand and touched her heart, and in a trance, she seemed to hear the silent and desperate cry in the man's heart.

He did not return to Beijing, but tore one of his hearts to pieces with his own hands, drenched in blood and blurred flesh......

-

Ten days later, the thousand-mile team finally arrived in the capital.

On weekdays, the sky is still dark and gloomy, and only the torches on both sides of the city head illuminate the city gates.

Soldiers in heavy cotton robes yawned and slowly opened the city gates.

As soon as the door opened, a black figure burst out of the extremely narrow gap in the city gate like lightning, so fast that people could barely see his appearance, and the wind brought it made his face hurt.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to stop.

As soon as he raised his hand, a bronze token carved with a dragon pattern appeared in front of him: "The prince has an order, release it quickly!" ”

The soldier guarding the door was excited, and he instantly sobered up a lot.

When I saw the word "Rong" engraved in the middle of the token, my heart almost jumped out: didn't it mean that this prince did not obey the decree, and even the emperor did not come back when he was sick? Why did you come back all of a sudden......

Not to mention the surprise of a soldier guarding the city when he saw King Rong return.

When the news reached the ears of the noble minister, the expressions of those people became even more ugly.

As reminded by the system, Emperor Huaiwen was seriously ill, but King Rong resisted the decree and did not return, which made the emperor's already seriously ill body worse, which became an important point for the government and the opposition to criticize Xiao Yinhan.

During the days when he went to find the "truth", the situation in the court was changing and the undercurrent was surging.

The princes who were originally discouraged in the court, because of his "death", couldn't help but be ready to move.

As soon as the firewood was burning, he came back again, and caught the group of red-faced guys by surprise, as if it were very deliberate.

But the benefits are obvious: let some people have the ambition to stop fighting together, and instead watch him on the spot.

Xiao Yinhan was about to enter the palace to meet his father, and then was stopped at the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall without accident.

It's just that the person who stopped him still made Xiao Yinhan's already silent and serious face ripple a little.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just ...... Astonished.

"Fourth, fourth brother, you are back, father ......"

Before the six princes' nonsense was finished, they were interrupted by Xiao Yinhan's two words: "Get out of the way." ”

"You can't enter the palace without an edict, is the fourth brother going to break in?"

Seeing the second prince standing up from behind the sixth grass on the wall, Xiao Yinhan's expression did not change, he was not surprised or angry, but he repeated again with an expressionless face: "I'll say it again, get out of the way!" ”

The man's momentum was too strong, as if he still had the blood of an assassin along the way, which made people's hearts beat wildly, and they subconsciously didn't dare to look at him.

The second prince didn't speak with a straight face, but the sixth prince who wanted to pretend to be dead and fish was stabbed in the waist, and he almost didn't scream.

Thinking of the handle he was held by others, he no longer wanted to and could only bite the bullet: "It's not that the fourth brother is not allowed to enter, but before he fell into a coma, his father made a holy decree, saying that since the fourth brother will not come back, then never go back, we ...... There is no way. ”

It seemed to be bitter, but the forbidden army behind him didn't give in half a step.

"No way?"

Xiao Yinhan gently repeated the words of the sixth child, and suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, overflowing with anger, and made people's hearts beat wildly.

Seeing that he actually reached out and touched his waist, the sixth brother panicked: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, this, this is the palace!" Those who use weapons in the palace are punished as treason, don't be impulsive! ”

The volume that suddenly rose was said to persuade him, and it was not impossible to beg him instead.

Xiao Yinhan ignored it, and his hand had already fallen on his waist.

The six princes' breathing stopped, ahhhhh

Just when the tension on both sides was about to start, the gate of the solemn and magnificent Heart Nourishing Hall slowly opened.

A palace beauty walked out from behind the door, and said in a calm tone: "The emperor is awake, and King Xuanrong will meet you." ”

It was Lin Zhaoyi who came out, no, it's time to call Concubine Shuniang.

Since the emperor was seriously ill, she was the only one left to serve by his side, and even his position has risen.

As soon as she said this, the second prince, who was originally quite imposing, instantly seemed to be strangled by something, and his face was gray; On the contrary, it was the sixth prince, who seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in an instant, and there was still indescribable happiness in his eyes.

is worthy of his fourth brother, always so "lucky"......

-

"The emperor just woke up and fell asleep again, calling His Highness's name all the time."

Xiao Yinhan paused, half looked at the old eunuch beside him, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Gonggong Zhao." ”

Zhao Gonggong hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, the slave is just telling the truth." Your Highness, go quickly, the emperor is waiting for you. ”

Xiao Yinhan nodded silently and walked towards the dragon couch.

When he saw Emperor Huaiwen who was so thin and old on the bed with his own eyes, many indescribable feelings suddenly surged in his heart.

He had hated and resented countless times, but he never thought that his father would grow old one day. It will be like an ordinary sick old man lying in bed, resigned to fate.

Xiao Yinhan stood in place, his palms clenched into fists, and he didn't know how much force it took to force himself to calm down.

He half-knelt beside the bed, his eyes unconsciously red: "Father, the son is back." If the son is not filial, please punish him. ”

At this moment, all the past has vanished, leaving only a son who longs for God to spare his father's heart.

As if hearing his plea, the emperor's eyelids moved, and he slowly opened his eyes with great difficulty: "Cold, cold, ......"

Hearing this long-lost title from the mouth of the old man with cloudy eyes on the bed, Xiao Yinhan's nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears.

"Father, I'm here."

He reached out and grabbed the old emperor's hand, suppressed his emotions and replied, "I'm back." ”

"It's good to be ...... back"

Emperor Huaiwen had already struggled to speak, but he didn't blame him at all, his eyes couldn't see clearly, but he was still talking:

"I thought I would never see you again......"

"Father!" Xiao Yinhan couldn't afford to trespass, and interrupted him stiffly: "Father Emperor Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely recover!" ”

After he finished speaking, he said: "Father-in-law Zhao, my father said that he was thirsty, so he took a bowl of water." ”

Zhao Gonggong was stunned for a moment, feeling that the prince's statement was a little strange.

But on second thought, the imperial doctor did tell not to drink tea, so it is okay to drink water.

What's more, this is King Rong, the most unlikely prince in the world to be unfavorable to the emperor.

He nodded hurriedly: "Yes!" ”

As soon as the others left, the prince, who was "recognized" by Gonggong Zhao, frowned, and quietly stroked the small gourd-like bottle on his waist with one hand.

Then with a finger, the lid was opened, and a faint fragrance spread, and the smell made the Lingtai clear.

"Lord Wang, the water is coming."

"Give it to me."

Xiao Yinhan raised his hand, took the clear bowl filled with water, put it one after another, and poured the gourd medicine bottle hidden in his hand, and instantly the elixir entered the clear water, turning into shallow ripples.

Zhao Gonggong was about to retreat, but it was a meal, he seemed to smell something?

Just when he was puzzled, Xiao Yinhan was already expressionless and helped Emperor Huaiwen to drink water.

It is also strange to say that the emperor, who has refused to eat well in the past few days, drank very neatly this time.

The sound of "coo-dong-coo-dong" was like drinking some kind of qiongzhi jade liquid, and he was very anxious.

Zhao Gonggong thought, this is probably the most favored son, with His Royal Highness King Rong to take care of him, the emperor is to save face.

Xiao Yinhan didn't know that Gonggong Zhao blamed all this on his "favor", but even if he knew, he couldn't explain it.

This elixir was given by the priest of the Xueyi clan before leaving.

She said that she did not stop Yukana and Ah Yanmiao from leaving, which gradually led to the tragedy of their two generations. As compensation, she sent the elixir that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Xueyi clan, which should be regarded as reparation.

"When my father is tired, take a good rest, and my son will come to see you tomorrow."

Xiao Yinhan carefully wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth for Emperor Huaiwen, and then tidied up the pillow for him and gathered the corners of the quilt.

Every move was inappropriate and careful, but Zhao Gonggong on the side was quite shocked.

Is this still the King Rong he knows?

Xiao Yinhan didn't notice the old eunuch on the side with a look of "the sky is falling", these days, he has long been handy in taking care of Tangtang, so it can only be regarded as easy to do at this moment.

"My father will trouble my father-in-law to take care of it, and this king will come back tomorrow."

"Don't dare, don't dare. The prince walked slowly. ”

Gonggong Zhao bowed down to see Xiao Yinhan away, and couldn't help frowning when he looked back at the emperor on the sickbed.

I don't know if it's his delusion, the emperor's sleeping appearance at the moment seems to be more stable than before.

-

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, you came out, fourth brother, listen to my explanation, it was really not my intention to stop you just now!"

Xiao Yinhan was not surprised to meet a stupid brother who licked a dog at the door.

"It's the second brother, it's all the second brother, he forced me to come with my handle! Fourth brother, you believe me, I don't dare to do it against you! Fourth Brother ......"

"Shut up."

Xiao Yinhan glanced at him, and the cold eyes made the heart of the six princes, who were trying to defend themselves, skip a beat, and subconsciously quieted down.

Xiao Yinhan's cold gaze swept over the sixth child of the waste dim sum, and turned to the second child with a black face on the side.

The second prince was in a very bad mood, his expression was quite stable, and even when he looked at Xiao Yinhan's eyes, he only panicked...... Right?

No, in fact, the moment the fourth child was called in, he already regretted it.

The longer he stayed inside, the more panicked he became!

You must know that since my father was recuperating from his illness, he has never summoned other brothers alone!

It's only him, it's only him, Xiao Yinhan, and he will ...... as soon as he comes back

The second prince unconsciously thought too much, and when he came back to his senses, he only heard the man's words: "You, very good." ”

The second prince stiffened, and in a trance, the leg that had been healed seemed to start hurting again......

-

Soon, with the return of Xiao Yinhan, the news that he trespassed into the palace without a summon and almost used weapons in the palace was quickly spread.

Many people think that this is a handle to send to the door, and it is a waste if they don't use it well, and they think about how to make things bigger.

Xiao Yinhan, who is the central figure of the incident, doesn't know at all at the moment, maybe even if he knows, he won't care.

Xiao Yinhan returned to the palace and slept on the bed. It's a dark posture to sleep.

Just when Gonggong Liu thought that the prince would sleep for at least three days and three nights, the next morning, he saw the person who was supposed to continue to rest standing in front of him.

The man in front of him was dyed blue and black under his eyes, his handsome face became more and more gloomy and cold, and the low pressure around his body was terrifying.

"King, lord, why are you up?" Gonggong Liu glared at the man in front of him, a little incoherent:

"The guard said that in order to rush back to the capital, you ran all the way and killed several horses, and you didn't have a good rest at all, why did you get up, or rest again......"

"Not necessarily."

Xiao Yinhan's voice interrupted him hoarsely: "This king and others will enter the palace to serve and ask people to prepare horses." ”

While speaking, the maidservant had already filled the pear blossom wooden round table with breakfast, and no matter how much Father-in-law Liu said, he couldn't speak.

Looking at the man at the table who was eating perfectly, Gonggong Liu stood in place, and all kinds of unspeakable emotions surged in his chest for no reason.

Lord Wang, he has changed a lot unconsciously, matured, and introverted a lot.

However, this change is distressing to watch.

Just when Gonggong Liu was immersed in the "so pitiful" mood of the prince, he suddenly felt a chill in his neck.

As soon as he looked up, he met a pair of cold and sneering inky eyes, as well as a strange and familiar sentence:

"Liu Degui, do you want to die?"

Liu Gonggong was excited, and in an instant, all the "distressed" and "pitiful" messy emotions were gone.

There is only one thought in my heart: What grade are you, the prince is pitiful to you? Let's have pity on you minion for now!

"Lord Wang, the slave is going to prepare the horse, let's go!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, as fast as if there was a ghost chasing behind him, and even so, he could still hear the demon's whispering threat: "If you don't want your eyes, you can gouge them out!" ”

He shook, almost didn't fall to the ground, didn't dare to turn back, and ran faster.

-

Before the ministers with other ideas could figure out how to target them, they got the news first-after King Rong's audience yesterday, the emperor's condition miraculously improved.

I was even able to get up today.

The ministers were shocked at first, and then unspeakably glad: fortunately, they haven't come to take it yet, otherwise......

The same news reached the ears of the rest of the princes, and it was even more sour:

"He is worthy of being his father's most beloved son, the fourth brother came back yesterday, and his father is cured of his illness today, he is really cured without medicine!"

-

Emperor Huaiwen has indeed recovered a lot, and his mental state has improved a lot when he says goodbye.

Seeing Xiao Yinhan enter the palace to face the saint, his first words were: "Where did your medicine come from?" ”

Xiao Yinhan was slightly surprised in his heart, and his face was still expressionless like an ice cube: "What medicine?" You misremember. ”

Emperor Huaiwen's face sank: "Nonsense! I clearly saw you feeding me medicine! ”

Xiao Yinhan's heart fell instantly, and he was sure that the old man was cheating on himself.

He was very sure that when he was drugged, he couldn't see it from Emperor Huaiwen's point of view.

"There really is no medicine, my father is mistaken."

His face became more and more calm and calm, and it made Emperor Huaiwen seem to be making trouble unreasonably.

Seeing that Xiao Yinhan refused to admit it, Emperor Huaiwen looked at Gonggong Zhao on the side: "You come!" ”

Zhao Gonggong was stunned, he? He doesn't know!

Facing two pairs of similar eyes, Zhao Gonggong instantly Alexander, if it weren't for the tray in his hand, it would be like wiping the non-existent sweat with his sleeve:

"Back to the emperor, the servant thought, without being examined by the imperial doctor, the prince should not dare to mess with the emperor...... Take it, take your medicine. ”

Although it was said euphemistically, it did express what he meant: I haven't seen it, I don't know!

Emperor:......

Xiao Yinhan lowered his eyes, knowing in his heart that if the concubine was still alive, he wouldn't want him to know.

Soon Zhao's father-in-law was dismissed.

Just when Xiao Yinhan thought that this matter was over, Emperor Huaiwen suddenly spoke:

"A medicine with such a miraculous effect, I have only seen it from your mother for so many years."

Xiao Yinhan was stunned, but he didn't expect this reason......

He maintained the same position, did not look up, and did not speak.

"It's okay if you don't admit it, but I know you've found it."

The old man's gaze was long and longing, as if he had thought of something very good and good......

-

After another half a month, Emperor Huaiwen's body has fully recovered, even better than before he fell ill.

And the ministers of the previous dynasty finally knew that it was not intentional for King Rong to resist the decree and not return to the capital, but to be filial piety, looking for elixir for the emperor among the people!

As for how effective it is...... Hey, are you blind?

In fact, even Xiao Yinhan didn't expect the "effect" of this medicine to be so good, but fortunately, the emperor didn't ask questions.

-

"I have sent many people to secretly search for her hometown. If there is any other place in this world that can save her, there is only that. But it's a pity ......"

After many years, Emperor Huaiwen's eyes were still gloomy when he mentioned this matter again: "I don't have as good luck as you." ”

Xiao Yinhan didn't answer with an expressionless face, and he knew better than anyone else that with the special situation of the Xueyi clan, even if the people sent by his father found it, they couldn't get in, and they would only think that they had found it wrong.

"As for Concubine Fang, I know you blame me, but she is the only one who gives me hope."

Hearing Concubine Fang's name, Xiao Yinhan finally lifted his eyes: "So you believe it?" ”

Emperor Huaiwen did not speak.

In exchange, Xiao Yinhan let out a cold snort.

Emperor Huaiwen's expression was so embarrassed that he distorted, and said angrily: "What are you! You don't understand my relationship with your mother! ”

Xiao Yinhan didn't want to speak with a straight face, it's your father, you don't understand, in the mother's concubine, he is the most important.

However, looking at the old man who was seriously ill and had lost a lot of weight, Xiao Yinhan didn't want to stimulate him anymore, so he closed his mouth directly.

The father and son walked a few steps along the white marble palace road in the imperial garden, and the palace people accompanying them silently fell into the distance, and Emperor Huaiwen suddenly spoke:

"This time you have a meritorious service in sending medicine, and I canonize you as the prince, you have no opinion, right?"

If other princes hear this, I don't know what it will look like.

Xiao Yinhan thought about it, should I "remind" again, there is no elixir, no, elixir!

But in the end, he didn't say anything, just lowered his head slightly: "Everything is decided by my father." ”

"Hmm."

Emperor Huaiwen finally showed a smile on his face: "Let's go, I'm tired, go back and rest." ”

-

Two days later, just when the harem of the previous dynasty was quietly guessing what kind of "reward" the emperor would give to King Yu Rong on this day, I heard the emperor personally write a holy decree:

Canonized King Rong Xiao Yinhan as the crown prince, and moved into the East Palace three days later!

At the same time as this holy decree, there are two punishments for the second prince and the sixth prince!

One was punished to the imperial mausoleum for two years, and the other was fined half a year to set an example.

Although one is light and the other is heavy, the meaning conveyed in it is enough to deter those who are ready to move.

For a time, the people in the court were panicked, but no one dared to raise objections to the canonization of King Rong as the crown prince.

This time, Xiao Yinhan was promoted from the prince to the prince, and it became very smooth.

And on the day that Xiao Yinhan held the canonization ceremony, in the Xueyi village.

Under the thick shade of the trees, a beautiful woman in a loose dress was watching the young men and girls in the river catching fish and shrimp on the deck chair, and what she had in her hand was the freshly squeezed juice of the spirit fruit, which was said to be very good for the pregnant woman and the fetus.

Jiang Tang raised his slender hand to block the fine sunlight that penetrated through the gaps in the leaves, his eyes narrowed slightly, but his gaze was a little distant, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At the moment when she left, it was as if she knew that her mother didn't want her, and her stomach, which had been quiet and well-behaved for several months, suddenly hurt fiercely.

The system made one last deal with Jiang Tang, at the cost of its last energy: if Jiang Tang is willing to stay and continue to appease the male protagonist and maintain the normal operation of this world, then in exchange, the system will send a special gift in return after she returns.

In order to keep Jiang Tang, the system even gave the green light: if Xiao Yinhan angered her one day, or she really didn't want to stay here anymore, then as long as she said a word, the system would immediately send her back.

At the end of the memory, Jiang Tang touched his lower abdomen, which had become obvious, his long eyelashes drooped lightly, and his soft side face had a particularly gentle charm.

Only that time, the one in her stomach gave her a reaction, and then it changed back to her previous appearance, as if it was just her delusion.

Really......

"Wow~Caught~"

The girl's surprise cheer came from the river: "Tang Tang, look, the fish I caught, you can drink fish soup tonight!" ”

Jiang Tang raised his eyes, and his smile was indescribably beautiful.

-

“…… His Royal Highness has just been canonized for two months and is about to leave, but I'm afraid that those ministers won't agree! "If it weren't for the fear of being kicked to death, the subordinate officials of the East Palace would have wanted to pounce on him and hug His Royal Highness the Prince's thigh.

Xiao Yin is as cold as frost, and he can choke people to death when he opens his mouth: "If you don't agree, you will die, and it is not their turn to put their beaks in the lonely matter!" ”

He came back for his father, seeing that his body was completely recovered, more than two months of time was already his limit, and if he stayed, he should be the crazy person!

Thinking like crazy in his mind, thinking about the woman who haunted him, before another group of officials who got the news chased after him to stop him, Xiao Yinhan turned over his horse neatly and chicly, and galloped away in the direction of the palace gate.

"The palace and the palace gallop on horseback, and the rod is a hundred!"

Behind him, there was the sound of the prince washing his horse, but His Royal Highness the prince on the horse did not react, and his heart had already flown to the snowy mountains thousands of miles away......

Tang Tang, will you still be there?

-

The carriage was bumped, the coachman hurriedly reined in the horse's head, and the servant girl scolded him dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter?" ”

The coachman said, "It seems that it is, the prince rode over." ”

The curtain of the car was raised, revealing half of the woman's beautiful side face: "His Royal Highness the Prince? (End of chapter)
