Seeing the top of the White Tower, chaos began to arise. Zhu Persimmon and Xue Cha hurriedly urged, "Your Highness, let's leave first." I'm afraid that it won't be long before the people around His Majesty will search here. ”

Lu Bingzhen also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately asked the two of them to take her to the wall and leave the stargazing platform together.

It's just that before returning to Xiao Min's side, Lu Bingzhen changed his mind and went to another place.

Xiao Min, who was still guarding the main hall, suddenly heard the death knell coming, and it rang nine times in a row, which was the voice of His Majesty Bintian. There was a moment of astonishment and sadness in his expression, but it was fleeting, and even Wen Cheng, who was closest to him, didn't notice it.

Of course, the Yuwang Party on the opposite side also heard the sound of the death knell, and for a moment, everyone's movements stiffened for a moment. But in the next moment, they once again brandished their weapons and fought to the death with the person in front of them.

"You are a traitor, and you don't surrender quickly. Gu Concubine and Queen Yu's mother and son poisoned His Majesty, the crime is not punishable, do you still want to rebel with them? Those who surrender today will only punish the evil, not kill the rest of the party, and the grace of heaven will be mighty, and you will not surrender quickly. ”

At this moment, many low-grade sergeants began to hesitate. They didn't really want to rebel, but their immediate boss defected to His Royal Highness King Yu, and they could only be forced to take up arms and have a bright future.

But now that His Majesty is dead, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the rightful prince of the country, and it is a justifiable thing to ascend the throne. Do these people really want to lose their own lives or even their families for the sake of the power of the superiors?

The sergeants looked around blankly, and stopped in shock when they saw that the crossbowmen had quietly left.

This time, instead of taking up their weapons again after a brief pause as before, they took up their arms and fought to the death against the enemy in front of them, but stopped their movements little by little, until finally the clatter of weapons being thrown on the ground became loud.

His Royal Highness King Yu still refuses to admit defeat, he still wants to boost morale and do the last game, "Even if you surrender today, you won't be let go, it's better to follow this Wang Bo." After tonight, gold and silver, groups of wives and concubines, and high-ranking officials will be rewarded! Reward! ”

He spoke hoarsely, but few responded. They all know that His Royal Highness King Yu is just the last immortal. Previously, the soldiers under the command of His Royal Highness King Yu were able to gain the upper hand, not by these people, but by those assassins and crossbowmen who helped them openly and secretly.

Now these people have disappeared without realizing it, and they may even turn around and attack them. Where does His Royal Highness King Yu still have a chance of winning?

Soon after the crossbowmen disappeared silently, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushed out of the main hall with a group of people and gave the last blow to the Yuwang Party in front of him.

When he was escorted by two guards and knelt in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Yu sneered, "King Cheng is defeated, since you have won, I have nothing to say." If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at King Yu, who was still unrepentant when he died, his eyes were full of indifference and disgust, "You are stupid in this life, but you understand one thing when you die." You and Concubine Gu poisoned your father, naturally it is a crime that cannot be punished. However, if you are lonely and careless of human life, your guilt will naturally be determined by Zongzheng Temple. ”

After saying this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not give His Royal Highness King Yu a chance to speak, and raised his head and motioned for the guards to escort His Royal Highness King Yu down. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is most worried about Ah Rui now.

Tonight, it is really helpless to let Ah Rui assassinate His Majesty. In that case, if you don't break the situation by assassinating Your Majesty, I'm afraid that everyone in the East Palace will die in this palace change. The subsequent reckoning will be extremely tragic, and the people involved are afraid that they will not be able to count.

The Wen family and the Lu family are naturally the first to bear the brunt, but the Qi family and the rest of the families who have taken refuge in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to escape the end of liquidation. The worst is to exterminate the nine clans and shed a river of blood, and the light is to be exiled and demoted to lose office.

However, no matter how much he persuaded himself that he had to go on this trip, Xiao Min couldn't forgive himself for letting A Rui, a noble lady who had not yet reached the end of the line, kill someone. A Rui is such a noble and generous person, after marrying into the palace, she is either sick or affected by the palace changes.

Thinking of the situation when Ah Rui was sick that day, Xiao Min was even more worried, lest she fall ill again because of tonight's incident. "Wen Cheng, hasn't Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess come back yet?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the minister deduced that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess should go to the stargazing platform first, and then go to the death knell. That place is some distance from here, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will have to hide it when he comes back, and I'm afraid it will take some time. Or perhaps, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess believes that you are enough to solve this matter, and has already returned to the East Palace first. ”

Xiao Min didn't know this truth, but he was really worried, and he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't see Ah Rui. "Pear branches, durian calyxes, citrus fruits, and pine knots, the four of you are going to pick up Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

The four of them took the order and left, and met the guards of the East Palace who were sent back and forth by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess on the way.

At this time, Lu Bingzhen had already returned to the East Palace, the night wind was cold on the stargazing platform, and she was concentrating on archery, and she had already unconsciously broken out in a cold sweat. She was so upset by the night wind that she just wanted to lie down and rest.

Zhu Persimmon was smarter and proposed, "Your Highness, you might as well ask for a doctor." The wind is blowing and you are frightened, and the physician may treat you so that you may be removed from the events of this night. ”

Lu Bingzhen nodded, and Zhu Persimmon asked people to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for a doctor. Probably because of the chaos in the palace tonight, the imperial doctor came very slowly, and after a full two quarters of an hour, the imperial doctor was late.

It was Imperial Physician Liu, an old acquaintance of the East Palace, who came, and I don't know if it was specially invited by the person who sent it. The disheveled Imperial Physician Liu came to confess, "The minister is late, please atone for your sins." ”

A weak female voice came from the tent, "Ahem, it's okay, it's even deeper tonight, there is Dr. Lao Liu." As he spoke, a slender hand stretched out from the tent. Imperial Physician Liu hurriedly said that he didn't dare to check his pulse.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, this is a sign that the wind evil has entered the body, the pulse is weak and weak, the pulse is tight and tight, and there is a feeling of fullness from time to time. The tongue is light and thin, accompanied by palpitations and shortness of breath, which may be an imbalance of cardiopulmonary function, it is advisable to reconcile the heart and lungs, balance qi and blood, in order to maintain heart and lung health, when the liver is relieved of depression, the liver is soothed, and the veins can be smooth. ”

Imperial Physician Liu twisted his beard and said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, there may be a high fever tonight, so those who are waiting for you should be careful." The minister prescribes a dose of good medicine to soothe the liver and relieve depression, or it can be suppressed. However, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess had an illness a few days ago, and she still has some spleen and stomach disorders. ”

"This is natural, and there is Dr. Lao Liu's concern. Zhu persimmon, go and send Imperial Doctor Liu. After saying this, Lu Bingzhen thought of the low pressure around Xiao Min when he was sick last time, and then thought of the current chaotic situation. Lu Bingzhen convened Xuecha and ordered, "Xuecha, you go to find a guard to pass a message to His Royal Highness the Prince, just say that the situation in the palace has been chaotic these days, and I will pretend to be sick in the East Palace to avoid the limelight for a few days." ”

Xuecha's face is difficult, she knows how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cherishes His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Princess's condition is only afraid that the consequences will be more serious, and there seems to be no other better way at the moment. I can only pray that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess will be healed before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows.

Lu Bingzhen's guard said that this statement was too reasonable. Therefore, Xiao Min has been kept in the dark, knowing that it is customary to look through Ah Rui's pulse case once a month before he discovers Ah Rui's fragility that night.

In the second half of the night, Lu Bingzhen really launched a high fever as expected by Imperial Doctor Liu. At present, the situation is still tense, lest there be a villain with ill intentions towards Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, so tonight there are only eight people to take care of Lu Bingzhen.

Xiao Min returned to the East Palace half a month later, and after the palace change, there were a lot of chaotic things, and he had to deal with them one by one, His Royal Highness the Prince. Especially in the matter of His Majesty's Bin Tianhou, as the heir of his father, of course, he can't throw everything to the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple after losing his father, and he has to do everything himself.

Concubine Gu and King Yu were still imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple by His Royal Highness the Prince, but unlike last time, they were in the prison of Zongzheng Temple this time.

A group of people in Zongzheng Temple have long been old fritters, how can the person who is responsible for handling royal affairs not know how to figure out the thoughts of the superiors.

The fact that Gu Concubine and King Yu poisoned His Majesty with the elixir was already an ironclad fact under the inspection of the head of the Imperial Hospital, so it was not a strange thing for them to send someone to assassinate His Majesty in a hurry when the palace could not change. No one would pay attention to the arrow that was obviously coming from parallel angles, and even after the conviction of Gu Concubine and King Yu, someone quietly erased all traces.

The matter passed quietly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince resolutely refused to ascend the throne under the advice of the ministers several times. The ministers were very puzzled, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was like this and refused to change.

In the East Palace, Xiao Min sat quietly beside A Rui's bed and asked in a low voice, "A Rui, these days, I have also neglected you a little, you are okay in the East Palace." But who is hurting you in this situation? ”

A Rui's reaction was very ordinary, and there was even a little joy in her tone, "It's okay, Qingyan." The order in the East Palace was forbidden, and no one offended me. What's more, I've been married into the East Palace for so long, where would anyone dare to bully me. Qingyan, are you underestimating me too much, I am the daughter of the Fan Yang Lu family. ”

Of course, Xiao Min knew that the East Palace had long been rectified by him, and it was impossible for anyone to dare to pretend to be His Royal Highness the Crown Princess. But for some reason, Xiao Min has been a little worried these days. Always feel like something is going on?
