After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Although the situation was already under control by the imperial guards, they immediately escorted the emperor and officials to the Banyan Garden to avoid further trouble.

Yan Mu was left behind by the large army because of his weak legs. He walked through the alley alone, the moonlight stretching his shadow very long.

There was a slight movement behind him, Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth and continued walking leisurely.

When he reached a fork in the road, he disappeared at a very fast speed. The people following him hurriedly followed him. When they reached the fork in the road, before they could see clearly, the next moment a knife was already pressed against the person's neck.

Yan Mu's overly cold face appeared behind the visitor, "His Royal Highness, you followed me all the way. Did you find anything?"

This person is none other than King Leng Yuxie of England!

A look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he sneered, "Should I call you His Highness the Seventh Highness, Commander Yan, or King Zhenbei?"

"up to you."

"If not, still..."

The next moment, Leng Yuxie suddenly separated Yan Mu's hand. At the same time, he turned the long sword in his hand and stabbed Yan Mu with the sharp blade. Yan Mu moved faster and almost didn't notice that his figure had avoided the sword, and the sword in his hand slit Leng Yuxie's neck.

The two of them trembled in close proximity for dozens of rounds, unable to injure each other even a single bit, and then slowly distanced themselves a few steps apart.

But it was the King of England's men who were chasing them. There were more than a dozen soldiers in armor, each with a fierce momentum, and they looked like masters at first glance.

A ruthless look flashed in the King of England's eyes, and he twitched the corner of his mouth. Then, for a moment, black shadows moved in the darkness. He looked in one direction and saw only arrows with cold light pointing at him.

He is the one who was caught!

"As expected of the King of Zhenbei, I underestimate you." Leng Yuxie snorted coldly.

Yan Mu raised his hand, and the next moment, the man in black in the dark quickly erased the traces like a receding tide.

Leng Yuxie was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to make his subordinates retreat.

"Do you know why I'm following you?"

Yan Mu turned around and continued walking slowly out of the alley, "His Royal Highness King Xu Ying must have seen something."

Leng Yuxie looked at the person walking in front. He was obviously a prisoner and a cripple, but he could stir up violent winds and rain, which made him tremble with fear.

"I saw you approaching the prince."

"Only see this?

"You have an arrow in your hand."

"so what?"

"The arrow stuck into the prince's chest."

Yan Mu glanced sideways at Leng Yuxie, "I guarantee you will never see this scene."

Leng Yuxie narrowed his eyes, "You want to say it's not you?"

"I think I did it very secretly and no one could see it."

Leng Yuxie's pupils shrank suddenly, "It's really you!"

"I told you so."|

"Why did you tell me that you weren't afraid that I would report you?"

Yan Mu stopped and laughed softly, "His Royal Highness the King of England robbed [-] stones of grain from Yuzhou. To put it at a small scale, this is just because His Highness showed sympathy for the soldiers and went a little too far. But in a big way, , Your Highness is grabbing food in vain, without regard for military discipline, whatever the intention is, let’s just follow the opinions of those who want to bring down His Highness.”

"so what?"

"The prince was assassinated, and the fight for the heir began. Some people will go crazy and bite his highness to death. It is better to prey on others than to prey on others, what do you think?"

"Is the purpose of killing the prince..."

"Help His Royal Highness win the throne!"

In the banyan garden, after Yan Mu entered, he stood behind the civil and military officials, but saw that everyone had their heads lowered, as if they were sad for the death of the prince, but in fact they were beating Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

The prince is dead, who killed him? What is the purpose? The prince is gone, who can become the new prince? What is the emperor thinking? Among the princes and princes, who can regain the position of prince? Which prince has the strongest power behind him?

The prince's death was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and the undercurrent of the Northern Jin Dynasty began to surge.

Yan Mu lowered his eyes. If he wanted to escape from Beijin, the water was too clear. Only muddy water could hide his eyesight.

The emperor has nine sons. Excluding the deceased, there are currently five sons: the fourth prince, Prince Rui, the fifth prince, Prince Qing, the sixth prince, the eighth prince, King Ying, and the ninth prince.

The principle is that if you are crowned king, you lose the qualification to fight for the heir, but now that the prince is dead, everything can be restarted.

Several of them were in the Banyan Garden, and their hearts were probably bubbling.

At this time, the emperor came. He had just lost his eldest son. He seemed to have aged a lot, and his eye circles were still red.

"Brother, you died so miserably! Can my brother never see you again? God, you are so cruel!"

Before the emperor could sit down, the Ninth Prince standing at the end suddenly howled, looking grief-stricken. Fortunately, the boy next to him was holding him up, otherwise he would have collapsed to the ground.

"Brother, how can you bear to ask your father to give away the white-haired man to the black-haired man? My younger brother has always been taught by you. The scenes here come to mind. I feel that the sky and the earth are pale, and all things are sad. I really want to go with you. …”

"Then let's go together!" The emperor said.

The Ninth Prince cried so selflessly that he didn't hear the Emperor's words, "Huh?"

The emperor looked at his ninth son and sneered: "Aren't you going to go with your eldest brother?"

"My son is really sad..."

"Then let's go together, so that your elder brother won't be alone."

The Ninth Prince was dumbfounded. Seeing that his father didn't seem to be joking, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but burp, "My son...my son has lost his temper!"

At that moment, he quickly retreated.

With the Ninth Prince setting an example, others no longer dare to perform the act of brotherly love. The scene suddenly became quiet, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.

After a while, the leader of the Imperial Guard came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, the assassin has been caught!"

The emperor's pupils shrank: "Bring the people up!"

Caught it?

Leng Yuxie frowned, and couldn't help but glance at Yan Mu behind him, and saw that he lowered his eyes and looked calm, without even the slightest trace of panic.

Could it be that he has other plans?

He was soon brought down, but to everyone's surprise, he was a thin and frail scholar. He was pushed forward by the guards and could not walk very steadily.

When the emperor saw the scholar, his face sank.

"Is this the murderer you caught?"

Zhao An, the commander of the Imperial Guard, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, when we found him, he still had a bow and arrow in his hand, and he confessed to shooting the prince."

The scholar was pushed to his knees on the ground, and the emperor looked at him.

"Did you really shoot the prince?"

The scholar lowered his head and shivered without speaking.

"Do you want to have your tongue cut out if you don't speak?" the emperor shouted angrily.

This sound made the scholar shiver, and then he slowly raised his head, swallowed first, and then nodded, "Yes, I shot him."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials below gasped.

He is really this scholar!

But the murderer was caught just like that?

Why do you think it's too simple?

"Why?" the emperor asked again.

The scholar took a deep breath and said, "I shot at random, and whoever I shot was the one I shot. I can only say that the prince is unlucky."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "He's such a random shooter, here comes..."

"Your Majesty, I want to avenge the prince!"

"what?"

Since the murderer avenges the person he killed?

This...is the most ridiculous thing in the world!

The scholar kowtowed to the emperor and said, "We are students who were supposed to attend the Qiu Wei this year. However, because the Yuzhou garrison ate empty pay and occupied our student status, we were unable to participate in the Qiu Wei. I am waiting for twelve students to come to Beijing. I filed a complaint, but I didn’t want to be hunted by them. Now I’m the only one left. I hate the court and the officials who protect each other, so I went to this extreme!”

"Students are wronged! Students' classmates are wronged! Countless young people in Yuzhou are wronged by having their heads taken over! The prince is also wronged!"
