The birthday of the Son of Heaven is celebrated by the whole world.

It also coincides with the whole ten years of the new dynasty, and Emperor Renshou cares about this celebration quite highly, just looking at the brick of the Ministry of Rites - the degree to which Lord Xiao Lu has been rotating in the past few months, you can get a glimpse of one or two.

The palace has set up a number of banquet halls, and the main hall is full of royal relatives, first-class officials, and envoys from various countries, Rong Tang did not go to join in the fun, and Mu Jingxu and Su Huaijing's official positions were not high enough, so they sat down in the side hall, which was considered to be leisurely.

At the banquet, there were eunuchs staring at every word and deed, some people smiled sincerely, and some wore masks.

Rong Tang looked at the white clothes that Mu Jingxu had changed into before getting out of the car, and the cloak that Ke Hongxue brought into the palace, and felt that he couldn't eat a bite of this meal.

But I still have to work with the ministers to make a look of thanking the emperor and thanking the prosperous world, which is somewhat irritable.

The crowd attending the meeting was divided into three, six, nine and so on, Rong Tang sat on the seat, put a bowl of soup in front of him, pretended to drink two sips and put it down, his eyes scanned around the hall at will, saw a figure, paused slightly, and handed Su Huaijing an inquiring look.

Su Huaijing glanced at it and saw that Qin Pengxuan was getting up, as if he was about to leave the table.

He stared intently for a few seconds, looked away, and nodded at Rong Tang.

Sheng Chengming's decree on the throne was lowered two days ago, and he was going to leave for the fiefdom after the Wanshou Festival.

I heard that for this reason, Concubine Yi Gui Niang and Zhang Ge Lao, who have been promoted, have had a violent quarrel with Sheng Chengming in private.

But a prince has made up his mind, determined not to stay in the capital to mix in this muddy water, His Majesty is grateful for his pure filial piety, and he is specially given the title of Rui, showing the importance of the Son of Heaven.

Rong Tang watched Qin Pengxuan leave from the side hall, and for the first time in his three lives, he looked at this straw bag prince for the first time.

In the original book, Wu Kangbo started in this autumn, but it was not on the occasion of the Halloween celebration.

But under the influence of various factors in this life, Su Huaijing received a letter the day before yesterday, saying that Wu Kangbo had buried a secret line in the palace and planned to assassinate Sheng Xuyan after the banquet.

It can't be said that it will be done, but he did it at this time, and Rong Tang actually wanted to go up and make up for it. Whether it's for Su Huaijing, for Mu Jingxu, or for the resentment that has nowhere to vent for himself.

Even for the sake of those innocent and tragic deaths in the previous dynasty, who should have been alive......

The palace banquet lasted from dawn to dark, and Rong Tang glanced back before leaving the palace, and saw a city that never sleeps.

The princes stepped out of the Shaohua Palace, and Sheng Chengming walked in the front, with a slight flush on his face, and it looked like he had been poured a lot of wine.

Surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, some people walked slowly at the end of the procession, their steps were slightly chaotic, and they were soon left behind by their brothers.

Rong Tang retracted his gaze indifferently, side by side with Su Huaijing, followed the flow of people out of the palace, and left the towering palace city in a high-crowned court dress, which had nothing to do with the five princes in the Dayu Palace.

Su Huaijing glanced in that direction, held Rong Tang's hand, and squeezed it gently.

Rong Tang understood, raised his eyes and smiled at him.

The Wu Kangbo incident is a very important turning point in the original work, and the focus gradually shifts from the early palace fight to the backward option, which is a God-given opportunity for the male protagonist Sheng Chengli.

But it happened in this life, in fact, for Rong Tang

It's more like having fun.

He is quite happy to see the capital become a muddy water, and he does not need to mediate from it like in the previous two lives, and try his best to seek some benefits for Sheng Chengli.

Wu Kangbo is destined to die, and Sheng Chengli came back from the imperial tomb before the Wanshou Festival, so he must have his plans and plans.

But all this has nothing to do with Rong Tang or Su Huaijing, what he wants to see more is actually the diagnosis and treatment certificate issued by the Tai Hospital after tonight.

It's not enough to let Sheng Xuyan finish this birthday unscathed, right?

Rong Tang thought like this, all the way out of the palace without a word, the imperial city is still lively, there is no curfew during the Wanshou Festival, the lights are full of lights everywhere, fireworks are lit on the city wall, and the night sky is blown up with a little starry.

Rong Tang sat in the carriage and asked Su Huaijing: "When do you think the news will come out?" ”

Su Huaijing said: "Three days later, when the Wanshou Festival is over, the missions of various countries have not left Beijing. ”

Rong Tang asked casually: "Why?" ”

Su Huaijing put out a plate of candied fruit and asked Rong Tang to fill the uneaten stomach at the banquet, while saying: "The murder of the Son of Heaven on his birthday is a bad omen, and there is a suspicion that he is not in the right position, Sheng Xuyan is absolutely impossible to leave a handle for himself on such an important day." ”

Rong Tang took a candied fruit in his mouth: "Then why do you want to leave Beijing before the missions of various countries have left?" ”

Su Huaijing: "On the birthday of the Son of Heaven, the minister plotted rebellion, which is a serious crime of the Nine Clans, and it will also cause national criticism." However, if Your Majesty is kind-hearted and invites princes, princesses, and envoys from all over the world to our banquet, but is assassinated by unscrupulous people at the banquet, he is suspected of undermining the peace between the two countries and provoking disputes. ”

The carriage suddenly slowed down, Su Huaijing paused as he spoke, and said: "After all, Wu Kangbo is alone, it is difficult to avoid the heavy search in the palace, and it is normal to attack the emperor at the banquet and have the assistance of others." ”

Rong Tang hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Did you do anything?" ”

Su Huaijing hooked his lips shallowly, and finally showed the only smile that could be called sincere in the past three days, and got straight to the point: "Tang Tang wants to ask me if I have helped Wu Kangbo?" ”

Rong Tang nodded.

>

Su Huaijing said: "Anything you do on the surface is easy to find out, and I have never taken this risk." ”

At most, he only ordered someone to hand over some half-truths and half-truths to Wu Kangbo, making him mistakenly think that today was a good time, there were many people coming and going in the palace, and the guards could not check them all, which was suitable for him to attack Emperor Renshou.

No other contact was gone.

Rong Tang felt that with Su Huaijing's temperament, it was impossible for him to really bear it and not add a fire to it.

The scars on Mu Jingxu's back are vivid, the red white robes are washed and dried one by one and hung in the yard, Rong Tang saw Su Huaijing more than once looking at the blood-stained white cloth in a daze.

How could he really not do it?

Seeing his concerns, Su Huaijing smiled, squeezed Rong Tang's hand, his tone was gentle and peaceful, his mood was stable and indifferent, and he said softly: "Tang Tang, you know that some wounds, if they are not handled properly, they may be no different from ordinary at first, and they will heal soon." But as time goes by, the inside festers little by little, until it hurts into the bone marrow, and one day it erupts, and it can no longer heal, and it will die within a few days? ”

Rong Tang was slightly stunned, and almost wanted to blurt out: tetanus.

Su Huaijing: "Wu Kangbo's rebellion has nothing to do with me, and His Majesty's treatment of injuries has nothing to do with me. Today, one day in his year, His Majesty should always be mourned, but I always think that if he is allowed to be killed by someone who rebels and usurps the throne, is killed by his son who seizes the throne, and is betrayed and killed by his concubines......"

The villain smiled lightly, his expression was a little innocent, and said softly: "I always feel that it is not enough." ”

He has to experience all of them completely, let him fall off the dragon chair, experience the betrayal of relatives, experience the betrayal of the pillow, experience the separation of parents and children, and experience the rebellion of the courtiers...... And then little by little the pain is inflicted on the flesh-body.

flogging, finger clamping, veneering, tendon picking, limb amputation, eye gouging, and sharpening into a stick......

Then let him and the snakes, insects, rats and ants, in the dark dungeon, at the entrance of the vegetable market, on the city wall where the flag hangs, day after day, feel despair, can hear but cannot see the eyes and discussions of the people, like the lowest livestock, died in the light of the day.

Otherwise, how can he avenge the death of his father and brother? Otherwise, how should he repay the broken bones of his third brother's body and the blood marks on his back?

Su Huaijing smiled softly and warmly, and there was no gloomy shadow in sight.

He just wants justice for his family, and he's not some heinous bad guy.

No one in this world can sanction Sheng Xuyan, and there is no law that can be used on the Son of Heaven, so it is very reasonable and natural for him to come by himself, and no one is qualified to put a beak.

Rong Tang looked at his eyes, and after a long time, he added in a low voice: "I also want to make what he has done public." ”

Su Huaijing was slightly stunned, looked at him with some surprise, and Rong Tang said: "We must correct the misunderstood and forged history." ”

The prince is weak and pale, and his complexion is much worse than that of ordinary people after two years, but in such a busy night, when people come and go, and the cars walking on the long street are on horseback, Rong Tang's eyes are clear to the point of confusion.

Su Huaijing's heart moved, and he wanted to kiss it as soon as he lowered his head slightly, but the carriage, which was moving slowly, suddenly stopped suddenly, the horse neighed, and Shuangfu pulled the reins and said a long "huh-" sound, there was a commotion in the crowd, Rong Tang sat in the carriage, because the inertia was not controlled, he went straight forward, and crashed into Su Huaijing's chest before he could stop.

It didn't hurt, but at that moment, the villain's emotion when he mentioned that he had not changed his father's enemy suddenly sank, and his face was quite cold.

The curtain of the car was lifted from the outside, and someone jumped unruly and jumped into the carriage, and immediately said pitifully: "Little brother help, hurry up and drive farther, those black-hearted uncles in my family want me to marry at the age of ten to exchange benefits for the family, please, take me away, otherwise I will be sold to a sixty-year-old big sister to be a little princess." ”

Shuangfu, who was driving the car, was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, immediately turned the horse's head, and quickly drove away from the street.

Su Huaijing's cold expression suddenly became even colder.

Rong Tang's head was buried in his arms, and he was embarrassed to get up for a while.

Su Huaijing said: "Shuangshou will not be deceived. ”

Rong Tang: "......"

Su Huaijing: "Shuangshou is still a younger brother." ”

Rong Tang stopped in a small voice: "...... Stop it. ”

Loyal servants follow the master, the villain is saying that he is stupid.

It's too much......

Rong Tang slowed down for a while, rubbed his head that was hurt, straightened up, and sat in the carriage looking at someone who suddenly jumped into his car.

The teenage boy, looking at the thin body, the face is white and beautiful, the eyes are very standard and beautiful phoenix eyes, and now he has not yet grown, and he already has a faint demonic appearance that turns all beings upside down, and it is estimated that it will be a scourge when he grows up.

Wearing a very ordinary and ordinary Dayu folk costume, but as if it was the first time to wear it, the right placket was tucked to the left, and the left sleeve was shortened and twisted into the underwear. There are no accessories on his head, and his long black hair is scattered, with some indistinguishable beauty for a while.

Diyo had a pair of eyes that wanted to cry, looking at the people in the car timidly, sitting cross-legged on the floor of the carriage obediently, with his hands on his knees, looking up at people, how pitiful he looked, how familiar he looked.

- It is clear that there is no place like Su Huaijing on the whole body except for the eyes.

But Rong Tang looked at him stunned for a while, turned his head, and repeated faintly: "...... black-hearted uncle?" ”

Su Huaijing: "......"!
