The window flowers are heavy, the shade is low, the morning light is weak, and it does not shine according to the sun.

The jade inkstone is shallow, the rice paper is pity, the ten buckets of literature and thought, and it is difficult to leave the sad song.

The company of green lanterns is not lonely, how can you die as a companion for half your life?

After the funeral news came, Ran Jingru sealed the main residence, and no one was allowed to come in. For two days in a row, she never left the study, which was the place where Xia Muchao stayed most often during his lifetime.

The elders say that when a person dies, the ghost returns to the place where he used to go. Ran Jingru's eyes were bloodshot, her tears had dried, and she couldn't sleep. She was already sleepy, but she didn't dare to sleep, for fear that she would fall asleep and not know her beloved's ghost to find her.

However, after waiting for two days in the bedroom and study, there was still no trace of her husband's soul.

"Lord, why didn't you come to me? Don't you want me? Why don't you want me? Can't you find your way home? You and I have been here for 20 years, how can you not find your way home? Could it be that you were killed by thieves and didn't even leave your soul?" Ran Jingru hated more and more when she thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more she resented it, and finally she couldn't resist it anymore, and fainted to the ground with a "bang".

... ...

Difficult. Xia Chengxuan only felt that there was nothing more difficult in the world than this.

"I must not fall, nor can I let the jaw palace fall!" Looking at his mother who was sick in bed and his sister who was guarding in front of the bed, Xia Chengxuan gritted his teeth and swore secretly.

Anyone can see this embarrassment in his eyes and face, a painful and desolate embarrassment.

"Shizi, the old lady and the old lady are here. Ah Lai came to Xia Chengxuan's side and reported softly.

Ran Jingru is the daughter of Xuanguo Gong Ran Jieting, and for hundreds of years, the Ran family has always been a prominent family in the capital, which is not much worse than the Hu family. After the news of Xia Muchao's death reached the Xuanguo Mansion, Ran Jieting and his wife immediately rushed to the Jaw Palace, but they didn't want to be blocked out of the main residence by Ran Jingru, and they had never seen their daughter yet.

In addition to Xia Muchao, who were killed in Tianmen City, there were also the five masters of Han Zhu and Qi Zhi, Lu Jianting and Zhou Xukuan, two personal soldiers and three hundred soldiers of the palace, which was almost half of the force of the jaw palace.

In addition to this little person in the house, Xia Chengxuan only has Baiweitang in his hands, which is the income of Xia Muchao's secret business for many years, and it was left to him before leaving the capital. Relying on this person, how can he deal with Xia Muyan?

King Yun's Mansion has not been competing for the prince all these years, but no one will go to find out the details of Xia Muyan. However, he was able to trap and kill the three kings of Ren, Zhi, and Wu one after another within a month, and the power in the dark must be extremely powerful.

In order to stabilize the situation, Emperor Yonghua and King Duan are very likely to make King Yun the crown prince, or even give way to him, although he is one of the biggest suspects in the murder of the three kings.

This is the case in politics, where the situation is greater than justice, and interests are higher than right and wrong. Obviously, Xia Muyan has always been underestimated by everyone, he is brave and strategic, can bend and stretch, dare to be what others dare not do, and it is the most suitable to be this Dahua Emperor.

"Time is running out!" Ha Seung-hyun reminded himself over and over again, "I can only get revenge before he ascends the throne, and there is not much time left for me." ”

Not long after Ah Lai finished reporting, a white-haired couple in fancy clothes walked in.

"Grandpa, grandma. Xia Chengxuan greeted him and called softly.

The old woman sat straight beside Xia Chengyi and held Ran Jingru's hand on the hospital bed.

"Grandma. Xia Chengyi screamed.

Old Madam Ran freed up a hand to caress Xia Chengyi's face, and sighed tremblingly: "Alas, hard-working children!

"Cheng Xuan, what's wrong with your mother?" Ran Jieting sighed and asked helplessly.

"Grandpa, your second elder is relaxed. The imperial doctor and the doctor in the house have seen it, and the mother is just weak and sick, and there will be no major problems after a few days of conditioning. Xia Chengxuan replied softly.

In the past four days, Ran Jingru has not eaten, eaten, or sleepless, her body has long been tired to the extreme, and it is naturally difficult to continue for a long time under the sadness.

Ran Jieting glanced at the bed, and knew that his daughter was fine, so he was relieved, but Xia Chengxuan said, "Chengxuan, let's come out and talk." ”

Xia Chengxuan also happened to have something to find his grandfather, so he immediately walked forward and led Ran Jieting to the side hall.

... ...

After Mei Yuanchen followed the group of black horsemen to the foothold, he drove all the way to the Jaw Palace, but he was not familiar with the boundary of the capital, although the horses traveled fast, they traveled a lot of crooked roads, and the distance of less than eighty miles took more than an hour.

"Young Master Yuanchen, didn't you just leave, why did you come back again?" Seeing Mei Yuanchen riding over, the steward of the stable hurriedly went up to collect the reins for him.

"Do you know that the prince is there?" Mei Yuanchen didn't answer him, and asked directly.

The steward of the stable did not think about it for a moment, and responded: "Well, the lady is sick, and the old lady has just arrived, so I want to come to them in the lady's room at this time." ”

After getting this report, Mei Yuanchen didn't go out to look for it, used light exercises, and went straight to the main residence.

... ...

"Cheng Xuan, although your father is gone, you are still the king of the county, what are your plans for the future?" The two of them had no intention of drinking tea, so they sat down, and Ran Jieting opened his mouth and asked.

Xia Mu Dynasty is the prince, according to the system, the prince descends to inherit the title of the county king. Soon after, the Shangshu Mansion will issue an edict to Xia Chengxuan to serve the title of county king, and the plaque at the gate of "The Mansion of the Prince of the Jaw" will also be replaced with "The Mansion of the Emperor of the Prince's Mansion".

"Grandpa, I must avenge my father's revenge!" Xia Chengxuan replied categorically.

President Ran Jie sighed, shook his head and said, "Cheng Xuan, it's naturally good that you have this thought. It's just that Zhao Qianming has already surrendered Shatuo, and this revenge is not easy to revenge!"

Not to mention that Dahua and Shatuo just fought in Anxian, and now the two countries are hostile to each other for a while, that is, Zhao Qianming has 50,000 soldiers, and he is already the prince of Shatuo's side, so he will cut off the way of Dahua dignitaries.

"No matter how difficult it is, I must report!" Xia Chengxuan said coldly, "I have asked Du Chong to check the roster of soldiers stationed in the northern camp, and I also asked King Duan to arrest Zhao Qianming and the relatives of the military attache in the northern military camp." Hmph, I don't believe that they escaped so fast that they were able to bring all their families with them. Bring those dependents to arrest, I will ask someone to bring them a message, if they still want to follow Zhao Qianming, I will destroy their nine clans!"

Ran Jieting was a little stunned.

In his eyes, this grandson is still a child who is not very sensible, who knew that he had made such detailed arrangements.

"Zhao Qianming is just a pawn for the murder, and I will never let go of the people behind the scenes!" Xia Chengxuan ignored his grandfather's surprise and continued.

"The people behind the scenes?" Ran Jieting frowned and asked, "Who do you think there is still a person behind the scenes?"

Could a Quartet General from the first rank be someone else's pawn? Ran Jieting didn't expect him to think so deeply.

"Xia Muyan is undoubted!" Xia Chengxuan said hatefully.
