Qiao Yi

At this time, the doors and windows of several rooms upstairs in the inn were closed tightly, and no one was seen coming out of the room.

In the dimly lit room, the occupants did not light the oil lamp on the table.Sitting on a chair in the shadows was a young man in black clothes. The young man's back was straight and he was sitting upright. One hand was placed on the armrest of the chair, and his fingertips were lightly touching the armrest. There was no expression on his stern face.

On the left and right sides of him stood two of his capable subordinates, and there were several people standing in the room, all of whom were his personal guards.

"Master, someone lives in the room next door to us."

"Is it one of them?"

"The subordinate doesn't look like it, it should be a passerby passing by."

"Oh."

The young man sitting in the room was none other than the eldest prince Xie Yin, who was born of the late former empress, but these years he was not in the capital, but went to the border.Until not long ago, the current emperor, that is, his father, ordered him to return to Beijing. The emperor's order must not be violated. If he disobeyed, it would be a rebellion. Xie Yin had no choice but to bring his people back from the border , but there were no fewer than ten assassinations along the way.

Shortly after his mother gave birth to him, he died of illness.After the death of his mother, the eldest prince had a difficult life in the palace. He was surrounded by only a few loyal maids and eunuchs left by his mother to take care of him.However, the palace is a place where people eat people. It is very difficult for a prince without his mother to survive in the deep palace. If he dies accidentally, no one will know.

In the previous life, Xie Yin died before reaching adulthood. It was his father's favorite woman—Concubine Xiao Gui, and the two sons born to Concubine Xiao Gui, who were also his half-brothers. To kill.

It's just that Xie Yin himself didn't expect that after he died, he would return to the year when he was six years old.

Living again, Xie Yin chose to go to the border with the people sent by his grandfather when he was six years old, instead of staying in the capital.

Originally, he was the queen's son and the emperor's eldest son, so he should be the No. 1 choice for the crown prince.It's a pity that his father didn't love his mother's queen. When his father married his mother, he just wanted to get the support of General Dugu and successfully sit on the throne.So after his mother died, his father no longer concealed his dislike for his son and his love for his beloved woman.

After the death of his mother, his father wanted to make Xiao Guifei, who was only Zhaoyi at that time, the queen.It's just that this proposal was blocked by the ministers in the court, who believed that Xiao Zhaoyi's background was too low to be named the mother of a country.But even so, his father still promoted Xiao Zhaoyi as a noble concubine, especially after Concubine Xiao gave birth to two princes in a row, the ranking went from noble concubine to imperial concubine, second only to queen.

Over the years, the harem has been controlled by Concubine Xiao, and even the two princes born to Concubine Xiao have been favored by the Emperor, and the Emperor has even raised Concubine Xiao's eldest son, Xie An, as a candidate for the crown prince.

And he, the legitimate son born of the late former empress, seems to have been forgotten by everyone.

In the past ten years, his father has never let him go back to the capital. Xie Yin naturally knows that his father does not want to see his son, and there may be a concubine Xiao Gui who has made a lot of efforts to stop him. Go back to the capital.

Even his original title of "King of Ming" was honored by Concubine Xiao's two sons, Xie An and Xie Ning.Historically, a prince can be crowned king because he has made contributions to the country to be eligible for this qualification. However, his father was coaxed by the woman Xiao Guifei, and he ignored the protests of the court officials and tried his best to reject all opinions , established the second prince Xie An as "An King" and the third prince Xie Ning as "Ning King".

At that time, some ministers asked, since your majesty appointed the second and third princes as King An and King Ning, do you also want to give the eldest prince a title?

So it was under pressure that his father issued an imperial decree, casually granting him the title of King Ming.

For more than ten years, their father and son have never met each other, and his father, the emperor, in order not to see his son, has people send an imperial decree to him for anything.Anyway, what this means is that everything that needs to be said has been said, you can just thank me, and you don't need to come to see me.

Ah!

After a new life, Xie Yin will no longer naively think that as long as he works hard to be a good prince and performs well, his father will take a look at his son.A person likes another person, not just because the other person is good; and a person hates another person, and there is no need for any reason.

In the last life until his death, Xie Yin never left the capital, and never got out of the shadow of Concubine Xiao, mother and son.He remembered that his grandfather had actually sent someone to pick him up from the palace, but he himself didn't want to follow him to the border and insisted on staying in the capital.

After reliving a new life, Xie Yin chose to go to the border to avoid Concubine Xiao's edge and his brother's conspiracy.

After leaving the capital, to a wider place, with a wider world, Xie Yin realized how big a mistake he had made in insisting on staying in the palace and in the capital. The mother and son teamed up to kill them.

His grandfather was General Dugu of the Grand Marshal of the West, and he held the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Northwest, which was why his father and emperor could not touch his grandfather.It's just that in the last life, his grandson was in the capital, and his grandfather was guarding the gate far away. Even if his grandfather wanted to protect his grandson, he couldn't help him in everything and protect him all the time. he.

But after he went to the border, the situation was completely different. The border was completely his grandfather's stronghold, and no one could touch him at all.And after going to the border, he successfully escaped from Concubine Xiao's control and plot, and left the conspiracies and tricks of the harem. There were many people around his grandfather who taught him to read, practice martial arts, and learn various conspiracy strategies instead of The set of intrigues played by the harem women.

That's why after Xie Yin lived again, he really realized that a man should have a man's way of life, and he shouldn't be like those women in the harem, who have shallow eyes and think about calculations all day long, so that he will never see I don't know how big the world is and how vast the mountains and rivers are.

But even so, that woman, Concubine Xiao Gui, still didn't intend to let him go. She was afraid that as long as he was alive, that woman, Concubine Xiao Gui, would have trouble sleeping and eating, because as long as he, the eldest prince from the former empress, was around, she would become The stumbling block for her own son to sit on the crown prince, that woman probably wanted to kill him even in her dreams.

In the past ten years, although Xie Yinren is not in the capital, he has spread a lot of eyeliner in the capital, so he is well aware of some things in the palace and the news of the court.

He has been at the border for so many years, and his father never ordered him to go back to the capital. Unexpectedly, this time he directly ordered him to go back to the capital. Although Xie Yin was a little surprised, he knew that it must be Xiao Xiao. The concubine, that woman did something wrong.

But he has been away from the capital for so many years, it is time to go back.

So after receiving the imperial decree, Xie Yin had no intention of resisting the decree, and took his own guards on the way back to the capital.

From the moment they left the border and set foot on the road back to the capital, they encountered no fewer than ten assassinations, large and small, and the number of assassins chasing them increased every time. Xie Yin knew that woman He wanted to leave his life on the road so that he could return to the capital without a life.If he, the eldest prince, was killed by someone on the way back to Beijing, then it was really his own bad luck, and it didn't matter to anyone else.

The woman in the palace had a good plan, I don't know if the people she sent had the ability to save his life, Xie Yin smiled coldly in his heart.
