March 22.

When Emperor Yi woke up, the inner hall was still dark and chaotic, and Li Defu pulled the curtains of the pane tightly, worried that the bright light would stimulate the master's sleep. Emperor Yi rubbed his eyes and asked Li Defu to open the curtain, but he felt that it was no different from pulling it open or not, the sky outside the window, the lower the cloud feet were pressing, and he felt that the next second he could hear the loud sound of spring thunder tearing the sky, and then asked the time, only to know that it was already two o'clock, and Emperor Yi couldn't help frowning.

I slept for so long...... I haven't slept so deeply for a long time, Emperor Yi stretched his waist, feeling in good spirits, and then saw the half-burned sleeping incense on the couch, then he remembered that Concubine Chen was staying here last night, and hurriedly asked Li Defu where Concubine Chen went. Li Defu was about to open his mouth, when he saw Concubine Chen leading a palace maid towards them, and the palace maid was holding a color plate in her hand, and there were several exquisite breakfast items on the plate.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer, just let the minions do these things. Emperor Yi took Concubine Chen's hand and sat down on the dragon case filled with gold, and gently blamed her.

"With Your Majesty by your side, the concubines will sleep soundly, if it weren't for the dreams in the morning, the concubines would have to wake up Your Majesty. Concubine Chen smiled.

"Are you dreaming again?" Emperor Yi asked, clasping her hand.

"The concubine dreamed of Yi'er, and Yi'er said, the prince is fine, and the prince is fine......"

"This is an auspicious omen!" Emperor Yi held Concubine Chen's hand and kept shaking it vigorously, his dim and dull eyes rejuvenated, and the mood that was a little unhappy just now due to the weather seemed to have improved.

When people are tormented by fear, any good news can alleviate the anxiety and pain of waiting, so that sometimes they don't care too much about whether the source of the news is so true and reliable......

It's just a dream that can't be true, Emperor Yi turned out to be a lot more settled, and waited quietly for Nie Bei's report ...... while eating with Concubine Chen.

They didn't wait too long, the messenger sent back by Nie Bei arrived at the Yangyuan Hall at noon, and sure enough, the urgent report was similar to Concubine Chen's dream. Because of the timely rescue of Bai Guang, the king of Dingbei is still alive, in the fierce battle Bai Guang left arm of the sword, Wu Yi in order to save Bai Guang, in a hurry for Bai Guang to block a sword, Concubine Chen heard on the side, although she deliberately concealed her worried emotions, but her instant pale face Emperor Yi did not know, so he hurriedly asked for details, the guard who sent the message replied truthfully, saying that the injury was not critical, and the prince said that there was no big problem after inspecting it, and the two of them put their minds at ease.

This time, Wanhualin intercepted and killed Bai Qi, with a total of 148 casualties, of which 35 were killed, more than 80 were seriously injured, the prince was injured, and the seventh prince was hit by a sword in his left chest...... This is an unprecedented assassination incident since the founding of Dayi, like a sharp sword stabbing the heart of the dynasty, giving the current Dayi monarch a resounding slap in the face, the government and the opposition were shocked for a while, no one knows what will happen next, but one thing is certain, the emperor will never be like sixteen years ago when nothing happened, he will definitely have thunder next. At this time, Xihao was covered with clouds, as if it was not the sky that was heavy, but the hearts of people.

March 23

Evening.

The car of the king of Dingbei finally passed the long pavilion. As if to match this atmosphere, the spring rain that would fall at any time only began to fall at this time, and Emperor Yi pulled his cloak and stretched his neck to look forward. He refused Li Defu's bitter plea to greet him in the city tower, and stood on the blue brick floor in front of the city gate. Several eunuchs held a huge coiled dragon yellow palace umbrella to shield him from the wind and rain. In the dim twilight, the spring rain blocked his vision like a beaded curtain, and the light of the glass palace lamp could only illuminate a few inches in front of him, and the surroundings were silent.

The sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground had already been heard, Emperor Yi pricked up his ears and moved forward rapidly, and the eunuchs, palace maids, and guards hurriedly followed .......

A fast horse galloped quickly, turned over and dismounted a few feet away from Emperor Yi, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Welcome to the Holy Lord!" The neat voice behind him sounded, "Welcome to the Holy Lord!"

Emperor Yi glanced at Nie Bei, who was kneeling in the rain to greet him, raised his hand and continued to walk towards the largest carriage, Nie Bei hurriedly got up and led the way, when Nie Bei's hand opened the curtain of the green cloth, Emperor Yi actually stepped on the footstool and stuck his head into the ...... without any grace.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" The white light with a cloth belt wrapped around his left shoulder knelt on the carriage, the candle flame lit in the car reflected the slightest blood stains on the belt, his face was a little pale, "Weichen is rude, he has not gotten out of the car to meet him, please forgive your Majesty!"

"You are injured, and you still have to take care of your father, I don't blame you, your injuries are not in the way, right?" Emperor Yi waved his hand absentmindedly, and after asking Bai Guang, his eyes immediately turned to the person on the "couch", and he was about to raise his legs to get into the car .......

"Your Majesty......" Bai Qi's voice was very weak, and with the support of Bai Guang, he raised his upper body, leaned his neck weakly on his son's shoulder, and his chest rose and fell slightly, "Weichen didn't, didn't ...... thing, not ...... here Inconvenience, let's go back to the palace first......"

"Brother Wang......" The emperor choked in his throat, looked at the crowded carriage with red eyes, and thought that he could not fit it up again, not to mention that Brother Wang did not look very good, the sooner he was diagnosed and treated, the better, and his outstretched foot had to be retracted.

After Nie Bei lowered the curtain, he led Emperor Yi to another carriage, and before Nie Bei stretched out his hand, the door of the carriage curtain had been lifted, and Wu Yi was straight in the arms of the forbidden army guards, and a wide robe covered the wound on ......his chest tightly.

"Erchen has seen his father!"

"Lie down, good boy. Emperor Yi hurriedly motioned to the guards to help him lie down.

"You did a good job this time! I heard that you hurt your chest, I know that your mother is worried about you, but she doesn't want to break the palace rules and come with me, are you really okay......?

"The son is really fine, he will be raised for a few days, and he will be able to enter the palace to ask his father, the emperor and the concubine for peace. Wu Yi straightened his upper body and grinned at Emperor Yi.

"You are my good boy," Emperor Yi's eyes were full of relief, he patted Wu Yi's hand and said softly, "When I go back, I will send you the best imperial doctor to treat external injuries." After finishing speaking, he got off the footstool with the support of Nie Bei, and got on the dragon chariot that had been waiting beside him for a long time, and in Li Defu's sharp sound of "driving back to the palace", a team of hundreds of people surrounded the dragon chariot in the center and the wide carriage quickly entered the city and went to the Dingbei Palace.......

When Emperor Yi returned to the palace from the palace, his face was unusually ugly, and after entering the inner hall of Yangyuan Palace, he first asked people to send a message to Huayu Palace to report safety, and then ordered the inner court to dictate a will, and then sealed the prepared holy decree and handed it to Nie Bei, who immediately prepared a horse and left the palace.

Sixteen years ago, Bai Qi sent the princess's coffin back to Jingzhou's homeland for burial, although he was very angry when he was ambushed in the middle of the rocky mountain, but Bai Qi was only in his thirties at that time, and it was the time when his energy and blood were at his peak, and in the end, there was no danger, unscathed, and Emperor Yi was not too worried at that time. And this time it is obviously different, this time someone dared to pretend to be an internal supervisor and falsely preach the holy decree, luring Bai Guang to Hutouling to set up an ambush to control him to death. What's more, on the way back to Beijing, the assassination of Bai Qi in the Wanhua Forest, escorted him back to Beijing There are more than 200 elites of the Bai family's army, all of whom are experienced in a hundred battles, which is obviously not something that ordinary assassins can do, openly assassinating the most honored prince of the court, the power behind it makes Emperor Yi frightened, if it is not for Bai Guang to detect it in time and bring people to rescue, his own royal brother ...... I'm afraid I can't really escape this catastrophe.

This is the first time he has issued such a decree since he ascended the throne, and there will be no such decree unless absolutely necessary...... Gong Yu's order has been issued - I'd rather kill by mistake than let it go!

March 24th.

The Inner Court decreed that the names of the thirty-five soldiers and guards who had been buried and sacrificed were recorded in the War Department, and generous compensaries were distributed to their families, while the wounded were carefully treated by medical personnel arranged by the royal family, and the others were also rewarded and promoted according to their merits or positions.

After Bai Qi returned home, he was unconscious, Liu Wen diagnosed his pulse and explained his condition to Bai Guang, who had been waiting in front of the sickbed, and he described the symptoms of the prince in a very heavy tone, saying that from the pulse image, the lungs are hot and stasis, the hands and feet are cold, the heart and kidney are lost, the old symptoms have recurred and aggravated for many years, and the suffering from wind and dew for days of bumps and dew, so he needs to go back to study the formula before he dares to try to use the medicine. In fact, long before Liu Wen arrived, Bai Guang had already diagnosed his father's pulse, he naturally knew how serious his father's condition was, Liu Wen didn't know that he was proficient in medical skills, and Bai Guang was not ready to let him know that if decoction and acupuncture could regulate his father's condition, he didn't want to risk trying other methods, so he just nodded heavily to Liu Wen's explanation, and sent him out of the house in person.

Before Liu Wen's prescription was confirmed, what Bai Guang needed to do was to ensure that his father's condition could not be aggravated, but fortunately, the injury to his left arm did not affect his application, and after the injection, Bai Guang sat on the edge of the couch and massaged his father's limbs .......

The bedroom in the main courtyard of the palace has long been sprinkled and cleaned, and the room is also through the wind, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers and plants...... Bai Susu stood next to him with red and swollen eyes, but he couldn't help much.

Her movements are so natural, as if the person on the couch is her dearest relative. After Bai Guang finished massaging, he glanced at the figure who was still busy beside him, took the decoction handed by the child and drank it dry, and said a few words to Bai Susu, then got up and went to the side yard to visit the seriously injured housekeeper Lao Ji .......

The door of the side courtyard was gently pushed open, and Bai Guang came to a sickbed, where the thin old Ji lay flat on a thin quilt.

"Giber, how are you feeling now?"

"Shizi's stitching, I really don't have to say it, thank you for the old slave here!"

Bai Guang bowed down, tucked the corners of the quilt for him, and shook his head gently. The little boy came in with a bowl of medicinal soup, knelt on the edge of the couch and fed him, and Bai Guang immediately brought a low stool and sat down next to him.

After about half a burnt of incense, Bai Guangcai said, "Jiber is fortunate that the internal injuries are not too serious, otherwise my nephew will not be able to do it." This recipe can only be taken after acupuncture to invigorate the blood, which makes Jiberdo suffer a little. ”

"Although the old slave doesn't know medical skills, he also knows a little bit about the rough truth of practicing medicine, to be honest, just after a while, the old slave felt its effect. Where did Shizi find this recipe? Medicine must be very rare and hard to find, right?" Lao Ji has been following Bai Qi, no one in the palace has regarded him as a subordinate, Bai Guang has always respected him very much, and they are called master servants and family members.

"This is a prescription recorded in the classical medical books, and my nephew used it to try to heal the seriously injured and dying when he was in Zhongnan Mountain, but he didn't expect it but received miraculous results, so he prepared a few and brought it back. ”

He said it lightly, in fact, the medicinal materials in the prescription are extremely difficult to find, but it took him three full years to travel to all corners of Zhongnan Mountain to prepare the only ten payouts.

"This kind of medicine is paid for one less, the son of the world should not waste it on the old slave, the old slave is hard, and he can survive the ......"

"Jiber!" Bai Guang interrupted him, his tone a little displeased and a little sentimental, "If my father is here at this moment, he will definitely be very angry to hear you say such things...... My nephew is glad that there is such a recipe around me that can help you, but it's a pity...... This recipe is not suitable for the father......"

When Lao Ji heard this, his eyes immediately turned red, and after half a ring, he choked up and asked Bai Guang, "Lord Wang...... He, he...... Is it okay? What did Doctor Liu say?"

He went back to the pharmacy to write a prescription, and the old illness had worsened, so Giber didn't have to worry too much. Bai Guang said very easily, in order for him not to worry about it needlessly, he turned to ask another thing, "Jiber, you are seriously injured and unconscious, and your nephew has never had a chance to ask you along the way, ...... that person"

"The prince has also fought with him," Lao Ji interrupted him lightly, "If it weren't for the prince coming in time, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness King Kang who desperately blocked that sword...... I'm afraid you and I won't even have the opportunity to speak here today......"

"That's why my nephew wondered, who does Jiber think has such swordsmanship in this world......?" Although the opponent has more strong players, even if he is fighting alone, how much chance does he have of winning?

"Before the old man followed the prince, he fought with people in Diannan...... That was twenty-eight years ago, at that time, I went from Nanshan to Yongzhou to do things for the head of the family, and I was stopped when I passed through the moon stream in Diannan, and then I was forced to have an inexplicable sword game...... There was some resemblance to the Assassin's swordsmanship......"

Diannan again...... Bai Guang's eyebrows jumped, and then he asked a little confused, "Is it the Falling Moon Floating Light Sword that Jiber is ......talking about?"

"Yes, it's a little different," Lao Ji knew what Bai Guang wanted to say, "The Falling Moon Floating Light Sword is light and fluttering, while the man's sword is as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it is vicious and vicious, but his body moves like a ghost, coming and going without a trace...... There are traces of the Falling Moon Floating Light Sword everywhere. ”

"It's always good to have clues, when my father's condition improves, I want to go to Diannan in person......" Bai Guang's eyes gradually turned cold.

Lao Ji looked at him and didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully.

At the same time as Bai Guang visited Lao Ji, an uninvited guest came to Linwangfu, and when the person sent the sticker to Wu Ye, he saw the line of words on the plain white rice paper, and Wu Ye's heartbeat almost missed a beat.

"You want to kill the light, save Bai Qi" eight fine small block fonts, the pen is sharp, the gesture is dripping, and the signature below is "Tiger Falls Wanlin".

Wu Ye stared at the plain white rice paper in his hand, he understood the meaning of the first four words, but he couldn't figure out how to "save Bai Qi", but with the four words he understood, Wu Ye had to see this person. King Lin, who was in shock, stabilized his emotions a little, called his personal guard Zhu Shui to make careful arrangements, and then slowly walked out of the study, and walked towards the flower hall with a murderous face to .......

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Lin. The person who came stood in front of a blooming spring flower tree, obviously saluting, but his back was straight, and his expression was extremely arrogant and rude.

"Now that you see this king, why don't you kneel?" Wu Ye said coldly, but the nerves in his whole body were tense, because he felt the oppression brought by the person in front of him.

"Haha......" The person who came looked up to the sky and laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, the laughter passed through the flower hall and hit the wall with a buzzing echo, "Chang" After laughing for a while, he stopped, walked a few steps in the direction of Wu Yi, changed his cold expression and said, "Kneel to you? Is it because you are His Royal Highness Linwang? That's someone else's, not mine!"

Wu Ye was startled by his laughter, and seeing that his next words were so rebellious, he couldn't help but press the hilt of his sword with his hand, just about to attack. The person who came leaned down at this time, pressed his left hand on the hard rosewood long case, and pressed it gently, and the smooth surface of the entire long case was slowly covered with ice cracks like the tea cup in Wu Ye's hand.

"What? Does His Royal Highness want to kill people and kill people?" the person who came looked at Wu Ye's bruised hands, and there was a hint of mockery in his cold words, "I know...... You have already arranged these four weeks, and I also know that His Royal Highness Linwang is good, but I still came, does His Highness Linwang want to know why?"

"I think you're looking for death!" Wu Ye glanced at the rosewood case in front of him, and the murderous intent in his chest became even stronger.

"Your Highness, you'd better not act rashly," the visitor saw his thoughts, his hands clasped to his chest, and there was no expression on his rigid face, "because it's not good for you, don't think that you can kill me." And also...... Aren't you worried at all? Worried about once you do it...... One accidentally poked you to death...... But how?"

"What a big breath!" Wu Ye sneered, he was very angry, but more suspicious, the strength that this person deliberately showed just now, he had never seen it in his life, he couldn't imagine that there was such a profound internal strength in the world. So although the words are rude and ugly, they are not unreasonable. There are also the four words "you want to kill the light" show that he knows his secrets, so what does he still know? What is the purpose of his coming to see him? Before knowing this, Wu Ye can only endure, "You can fight again, do you think you can get out of the palace alive?"

"Of course not, and I believe Your Highness will not. The visitor turned around and reached out to pick the flowers that bloomed just right on the spring tree, he was tall, he didn't need to tiptoe, as long as he stretched out his arms, he picked a small yellow six-petal flower and played with it in his hand for a while, and then said, "When is Your Highness going to take me to see the concubine?"

Seeing that Wu Ye was silent, he said again, "His Royal Highness is a smart person, presumably His Highness has already seen it, this time is not as good as before, the emperor's secret envoys have been dispatched, a little bit worse, I am afraid that those old things will be turned out, if this is the case, how can His Royal Highness talk about the grand cause in the future, I am afraid that you and the concubine Niangniang...... At that time, even survival is just a luxury. ”

"Don't look like a savior!" Wu Ye said coldly, "It's not a joke to bring people into the palace, this king doesn't know anything about you, how can he trust you, and how can he ensure that my mother is thorough?"

"That's a problem, because I can't prove my sincerity to Your Highness," said the man after a moment's silence, "and it might as well be like this...... Her Royal Highness will report to the concubine Niangniang in the palace, and it is up to her to decide whether she sees it or not. ”

Before the words fell, the yellow petals in the hands of the person flew towards several cases, and the flowers were inserted into the gaps of several cases in six petals, and the fine pear blossom wood was concave from the middle, and a few splinters fell on the marble floor tiles, making a slight sound.......

No one has ever dared to be so rude to himself, Wu Ye was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and entered the palace of Prince Weiwei unarmed, looking like he had no fear and nothing to know, but the kung fu he revealed was really shocking to the point that Wu Ye was jealous.

Although no matter how skilled he is, it is not uncertain that he will be surrounded and killed in this great prince's mansion. But Wu Ye didn't dare to take the risk, because even if he succeeded in killing him in the end, he couldn't do it. Wu Ye believed that he must still have his comrades, and there must be people in his party who know their secrets. He didn't dare to gamble, because "assassinating the prince", "falsely passing on the holy decree", and "booby-trapping the prince" could knock himself and his mother into the abyss of no return......

"Your Highness will be in charge of the people of the world in the future, how can you be so indecisive in your planning?" Seeing that he had kept his head down and remained silent, the visitor stabbed him coldly.

"Okay!" Wu Ye stood up from his chair and said in a cold voice, "There is a peach tree by the patio of Chunlan Pavilion, if the tree is hung with a red lantern at the time of the year, you come over again." After that, Wu Ye made a "please" action.

"Why bother," the person who came slowly paced by the spring blossom tree, and actually grabbed a chair and sat down next to the broken rosewood case, "It's a waste of time to come and go, and it is inevitable that His Highness will come often in this mansion in the future, I think it is most appropriate to wait here, Your Highness thinks it is okay?"

Wu Ye snorted, ignored him, and walked away.

Linwangfu is near the south gate, not too far from the palace, through a neighborhood you can enter the main street of Yuhe, and then walk about five miles to Chonghua Gate. In less than two hours, Wu Ye returned to the mansion and went straight to the flower hall, probably because he had been sitting for too long, and at this time the person was standing in front of the dwarf cypress at the foot of the flower hall steps, stretching his limbs .......

"Your Highness's efficiency is really high!" This person turned his tall body to face Wu Ye, "I just drank a few cups of tea and took a nap, the air is greasy in spring, and there are many fragrant flowers in this hall of Your Highness, which is easy to make people lazy......"

Wu Ye ignored his words, just silently threw a set of personal guard clothes on the broken rosewood case, and warned in a cold voice, "The king must leave the palace before the key to the palace gate, and finally go in, don't come out without doing anything!"

The visitor smiled, quickly took off the cyan robe on his body, threw it on the ground, and neatly changed into the clothes prepared for him by King Lin......

There is a clear rule in the Dayi Dynasty that the prince can enter the palace without asking for it, but he must leave the palace before the palace gate is closed, and he is not allowed to stay in the palace unless he has obtained the emperor's permission in advance. When entering the palace, you are not allowed to carry weapons, and you can bring no more than two entourage.

In order to be in a hurry, Wu Ye also took the original white light road, entered the palace from Tai'an Gate, and on the steps of Lanxingyuntai, he unexpectedly ran into the crown prince Wu Jiu and his personal retinue Mu Jiu.

The crown prince Wu Yu slowly paced down the marble steps, looking down at his younger brother Wu Ye condescendingly, the smile on his face was gentle and distant.......

"The younger brother has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. Wu Ye waited until he was standing on the same step as the crown prince to greet him.

"Brother Ye, are you going to see your father or the concubine?" asked the prince with a smile, his eyes kept looking at the entourage behind him.

"It was rumored in the palace that the concubine was dizzy and anorexic, and the younger brother was really worried, so he wanted to go and see it before the ban. Wu Ye saw the prince's eyes glancing straight behind him, and he panicked in his heart. Originally, he was in the position of the prince and went to visit his mother, the concubine Niangniang of Dayi today, and there was no need to use the excuse of visiting the sick at all, but at this time, Wu Ye subconsciously lied, fortunately, dizziness and anorexia This disease, even if the divine doctor Liu Wen can't see the truth or falsehood, he won't show any flaws.

"Oh? That's going to have to be visited. The prince smiled faintly, and then asked a sentence that made the always calm Wu Ye's heart beat wildly, "Brother Ye's face is very good, what about Zhu Shui, why don't you see him coming with him?"

Zhu Shui is Wu Ye's personal entourage, and when he usually enters the palace, Wu Ye either enters the palace alone, or takes him with him, and never brings anyone else, and the prince naturally knows him.

"It's just a minion, where is it worth worrying about His Royal Highness the Prince. The courtier's brother arranged for him to be busy with other things. Although Wu Ye was flustered, he was still able to hold on, and then hurriedly changed the topic, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going out of the palace?"

"Well, go see Uncle Wang. As he spoke, the prince stepped down and walked ...... without looking back.

When the figures of Wu Ye and the others disappeared in Lanxingyuntai, the prince suddenly stopped, stood motionless at the foot of the palace wall with frowns, and after a long time, he whispered a few words to Mu Jiu, and continued to walk forward, but Mu Jiu turned around and went in the direction ......of the East Palace.

Encountering the prince halfway made Wu Ye's heart more and more uneasy, turning the covered bridge of Yuntai, he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and the man's cold sneer came from behind him, "Your Highness's steps are vain, others don't see anything, Your Highness himself is in a mess first!"

"Shut up!" Wu Ye shook off his words, and his steps ...... faster than just now.

Concubine Yue "met" the two in the side hall of Zhaochun Palace, and after listening to Wu Yelu's encounter with the prince, Concubine Yue stood in front of the pane and thought for a moment before saying, "You don't have to worry about this, the prince is not a reckless person, and he won't do anything he is not absolutely sure of." ”

After that, he slowly turned around and looked coldly at this unknown person, and went straight to the tunnel, "Your Excellency wants to see this palace, and now this palace is in front of you, what do you want to say to this palace?"

"Niangniang is really simple!" the person laughed loudly, "I came here, naturally to talk about cooperation with Niangniang." ”

"Cooperation?" Yue Guifei laughed loudly, "You want to cooperate with this palace?" haha...... What kind of work do you have, and what qualifications do you have to talk about cooperation with this palace?"

"Do you think it's funny?" waited for Concubine Yue to laugh enough, and then asked unhurriedly, "Why am I not qualified?"

"A person whose origin is unknown and who does not dare to show his true face, why should this palace cooperate with you? Why should this palace cooperate with you if he does not lack anything? Isn't this ridiculous?"

"Isn't there anything missing from Niangniang?" the person sneered, "Why did Niangniang trap Baiguang? It's because she has a vendetta against the prince?......"

"Stop!" Concubine Yue interrupted him sharply, "You are so bold, do you know what a felony it is to frame this palace?

The reason why Concubine Yue agreed to Wu Ye to take him into the palace was that she was not sure if there was really evidence of booby trapping Bai Guang in his hands, she needed to talk to this person in person to confirm, and now that he was talking nonsense, Concubine Yue would never let him walk out of Zhaochun Palace alive.

"Framed?" the man smiled contemptuously and took two steps in the direction of Concubine Yue, Wu Ye hurriedly took a few steps back with his mother in his arms, keeping a distance from him far enough to prevent him from hurting people.

"If it weren't for your recklessness, I'd have succeeded by now!

In the whole world, except for the current Dayi Emperor, no one dares to talk to her like this, and neither can the queen, but the person of unknown origin in front of him did not take her ...... in his eyes at all.

"You...... What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" the person sneered, "If it weren't for Niangniang, King Dingbei would be a dead man now, what do you mean by me?"

"Bengong doesn't know what you're talking about!" Yue Guifei snorted coldly, "I said, this has nothing to do with Bengong!"

"Relevant? So...... Sixteen years ago, the rocky mountain sandwich road...... The assassination...... Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

"What do you say, what...... Hearing this, Concubine Yue's delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help but take a step back, "What kind of rocky mountain...... What assassination...... Hongu doesn't know what you're talking about!"

"How dare I come here if I don't have anything to do? Sixteen years ago, when Commander Mao arranged for people to assassinate the king of Dingbei, you went there a total of sixty people, right?"

Concubine Yue didn't speak, because what he said was right.

"But when the corpses were counted, there was one body missing, Mao Shouren didn't know, right? This is not to blame him, because there were other people participating, and the faces of the dead were all ruined, and it was impossible to justify the seriousness at all, so there was one less person, and I didn't know which party it was...... No one cares too much about ......"

Concubine Yue involuntarily slowly clenched her fists. Like Mao Shouren, she knew afterwards that another party had joined the assassination team, and both of them thought that all the people on their side had been killed, and they did not stay alive to .......

"The more people who participate in the operation, the more likely it is that the secret will be leaked, because no one can guarantee that everyone will keep it for you. Mao Shouren was very cautious, those sixty people were all hard bones, but unfortunately their skills were really unbearable, and we found out that something was wrong after we joined the battle, so we took one of the ......"

Concubine Yue still didn't speak, but Wu Ye couldn't help but ask, "Who did you take away?"

"It doesn't matter who it is, but it's not a soft bone, we locked him up for three years and used all kinds of means to pry his mouth open. ”

"There is no evidence! Do you think this palace will believe it?"

"Do you want to see the evidence? Although the paper is yellowed, every word is still clear. I have always kept his confession, and I certainly won't carry something so important with me at all times. In fact, he doesn't know much, he only knows that he was ordered by Mao Shouren, but this is enough, what does Niangniang think?"

Yes, he was right, it was indeed enough to find out Mao Shouren's layer. His assassination of Bai Qi back then was all arranged by Mao Shouren, and the people he was looking for were all trustworthy diehards, but who could guarantee that everyone was iron-clad and copper-toothed? As long as Bai Qi was stained, Emperor Yi would definitely investigate to the end, and once Mao Shouren had an accident, could he clear up the real ....... It's just that this person is not very old, and he shouldn't have participated in the incident sixteen years ago, but there must be a strong organization behind him, supporting them to kill the king and kill the king, and the events they did were all great crimes to exterminate the nine clans...... Who the hell are they and what do they want to do? There are many mysteries in Yue Guifei's heart that have not been solved. She originally thought that after the death of the person in the Yangyuan Palace, everything would be over, but sixteen years later, someone came to her Zhaochun Palace, and she came prepared with evidence. Then, she had to figure out ...... the whole thing.

Thinking of this, Concubine Yue invited someone to sit down on the long case of red sandalwood, and took a deep breath before saying, "Let's not mention the past for the time being, since Your Excellency is here, you must have come with sincerity, this palace has a few questions for you, I hope you can answer truthfully." Concubine Yue put away her condescending posture, and her tone became softened.

"Okay, let's ask!"

"Who are you, what's your name?"

"Jinghua's floating dream is shattered, and the lonely soul of Qingshan is crying...... Mother, you can call me a floating soul. ”

"This palace is asking for your real name!"

"There are so many bad pasts in my real name that I can't tell you...... As long as Niangniang is convinced of the sincerity of my trip, why force it?"

Concubine Yue stared at him for a long time, and finally had to give up the question.

"So...... Sixteen years ago...... The man who died in the Yangyuan Hall is your accomplice?"

"Yes. ”

"He wasn't caught, he deliberately stayed behind on his own...... Right?"

"That's right!"

"How do you know that General Mao will set up an ambush to assassinate Bai Qi there?"

"They don't know, it's just a coincidence. ”

"Your ultimate goal is not to rise in vain, but to be holy today?"

"I originally wanted to kill Bai Qi first, and then kill him. ”

"Then why did you change your mind again?"

"Bai Qi himself has experienced a hundred battles, there is a ruthless character around him, and the guards he brings are all fierce and not afraid of death, since he knows that he can't be killed after fighting, why don't you change your mind?"

"You could have escaped, but you deliberately stayed to find death, why?"

"Looking for death, one life for another! Can you kill Wu Xiu...... What is death? We almost succeeded, and it was the damn Bai Qi again!" the Floating Soul's eyes were blood-red, like a red-hot soldering iron, and steaming.

"With such disregard for life and death, what is the deep hatred of the Holy Lord with you and others today?"

"He's damned!" the floating soul spelled out three words between its clenched teeth.

"Shut up!" Wu Ye couldn't help but say loudly, "If you dare to hurt your father, this king will fight with you endlessly!"

Concubine Yue waved her hand, signaling Wu Ye not to get excited, she looked at the person opposite with her eyes, and asked, "The Holy Lord is the husband of this palace and the father of Ye'er, what kind of hatred does he have with you?"

The floating soul's eyes became hotter and hotter, he put down the teacup, clasped the red sandalwood desk tightly with both hands, and said sharply, "Don't share the sky!

"Very good!" Concubine Yue stood up from her chair and pointed at the floating soul in a sharper voice than him, "If Your Excellency is still like that madman sixteen years ago, intending to kill the king and bring disaster to the country, this palace will never conspire with you! Even if your reputation is ruined! Even if ten thousand arrows pierce your heart! This palace and the king will never trade with the emperor to deal with you! This is the bottom line of this palace!"

The floating soul looked up at her, and after a long time, the red in his eyes gradually receded, his hands slowly let go of the rosewood desk, and his body fell heavily to the back of the circle chair, and closed his eyes a little painfully.

After a while, he muttered in a tone of helplessness and regret, "No...... There will never be a ...... again Heaven will not give such an opportunity a second time, and Wu Xiu will not give it a second time. That's why we're going to kill Bai Qi, firstly, Bai Qi deserves to die, and secondly, if we kill Bai Qi, Wu Xiu will definitely be very sad and painful, which will definitely make him more uncomfortable than killing him...... Don't you think?" At the end, the floating soul actually laughed lowly, and the laughter made people's scalps tingle.

"He wants to suffer for others, and this palace can't control it. A fake brother who has no blood relatives! If he wants to be sad, he will also do it himself! It's a pity that Wanhualin let him run away again......" Of course, Concubine Yue felt that she could even anticipate the grief-stricken appearance of Emperor Yi after Bai Qi's death...... The weight of herself in his heart is far inferior to that of a brother with a different surname who has no blood relatives, for so many years, every time she thinks of this, she crushes her silver teeth, and cuts her heart like someone holding a sharp blade.

"Do you know how difficult it is for us to do this time? Do you know how much we have lost in the Ten Thousand Flowers Forest? Obviously, we are going to succeed, but in the end, it will be broken in your hands!"

"What's wrong with us? Hongu doesn't understand what you're talking about!"

"Well, I'm sure I don't know the details. The floating soul continued, "Our people intercepted Bai Qi in the Wanhua Forest, and after a fight, they saw that they were about to succeed, but they didn't want Bai Guang to rush to the scene, and there were a hundred elite guards behind him, and even King Kang Wuyi also came......" The floating soul stopped and took a sip of tea, and immediately continued, "How did Bai Guang know that his father was in trouble? The people who returned to Beijing to report the news all died on the way, could he really be more able to pinch than the Heavenly Machine Dao people? At that time, I couldn't figure it out, so I had to pack up the remnants and escape from the Wanhua Forest...... Only later did I know that it was precisely because you failed to trap Bai Guang that he saw the flaw and got the information that his father Wanhualin was in danger...... Can you tell me how the hell he knows?"

"How does this palace know. Concubine Yue replied angrily, remembering that she had repeatedly dealt with Bai Guang in vain, Concubine Yue was full of hatred in her heart.

"After this time, Niangniang should know," Floating Soul's expression became solemn, "This is a very difficult opponent. People say they are concerned and confused, but he has a natural keen sense of danger, and his failure to enter your ambush circle just shows that. And then from the flaws and clues he was able to find out where he was lured and then deduce that his father was in danger, although you and I don't know how he knew about it now, but at least it shows how terrible his reckoning is...... It wasn't until I fought him in Wanhualin that I realized that he was also very good......"

"How good?" Wu Ye couldn't help but interject and asked.

"Very good!" Seeing the unconvinced look on Wu Ye's face, the floating soul said lightly, "If Your Highness wants to know how good it is, you might as well find a chance to try it." ”

Wu Ye snorted and didn't speak.

"The old one is not dead, and a new one has come out!" Yue Guifei gritted her teeth and said hatefully.

"I'm afraid that this new one will be much more difficult to deal with than the old one. The floating soul reminded Concubine Yue, "If Niangniang wants to seek hegemony for His Royal Highness Linwang, this obstacle must be removed." ”

Seeing that Concubine Yue was silent, the floating soul continued, "Niangniang has worked hard for so many years, and now looking back, what did you get? Has the prince fallen? Has the harem changed hands? Or have you already grabbed Wu Xiu's heart? Obviously nothing, does Niangniang know why?"

The words of the floating soul were like a sharp blade, stabbing at the heart of Concubine Yue one after another. After so many years of exhaustion, it seems that there is not much effect, although the power is getting stronger, but it is not strong enough to change these key things, and even the co-optation or eradication of a single white light has ......been returned again and again.

Seeing that Concubine Yue was silent with a blue face, the floating soul said again, "Niangniang has already started, don't think that you can turn back, there is no way back behind Niangniang, you can only keep moving forward." Can Niangniang know that this situation is all because Niangniang's heart is not ruthless enough, with such a smart person as Bai Guang, he will not be able to guess that Niangniang did it? It's just that the time has not yet come, and when he can fight back, does Niangniang think he will still show mercy to you and His Royal Highness?"

Concubine Yue was shocked by what he said, the pores of her body contracted, and a chill came out ...... her heart. She had thought of all of what the floating soul said before, but what she thought of was completely different from what others said in front of you.

"This palace won't give him this kind of opportunity!" muttered to Concubine Yue.

"Therefore, recognizing the strength of Bai Guang, and in order to avoid a failure like Wanhualin this time, I want to cooperate with Niangniang, which is the purpose of my visit this time. You and I are different, but the goal is the same, what do you think?"

Concubine Yue looked at the floating soul...... After a long time, he nodded slowly.
