Ziqi looked up at the prince, neither humble nor overbearing, with a very calm expression.

"You heard me right, I want to bet you that you will be deposed within five days."

The prince looked at Xie Ziqi as if he were looking at a madman.

Ziqi glanced at the prince lightly, and said contemptuously: "The prince who has been the prince for 16 years, dare not bet with me, the abandoned son of the Xie family that you call, you are not mediocre."

"You! Bold!" The prince was furious, pointing at Xie Ziqi furiously.

He is a dignified prince, one person under one man and above ten thousand people, and he has never been treated like this.He was despised by an abandoned son, despised by someone the third prince liked, just like being despised naked by the third prince who had killed each other for many years.

"Good, good, good." The prince's eyes were red, and he called out three good words. "If you are still the prince after five days alone, you..."

Xie Ziqi interrupted him, and said directly, "If I lose the bet, I will do whatever you want. If you want to kill or cut me up, I will never resist."

"Okay, Xie Ziqi, remember that it's a five-day agreement, and if it's an extra hour, I'll kill you alone."

Ziqi remained calm and unmoved.He just replied indifferently: "Within five days, you can't touch a single hair of the three of us."

"Put them all together for me. After five days, I will let you try eighteen kinds of torture, each of which will be passed on you. I hope you will be as tough as you are now."

The prince was so angry that he walked away.

In the room, there were only three people, Xie Ziqi, Su Wushang, and Liu Jiyu.

As soon as the guard let go, Liu Jiyu immediately untied Ziqi, his eyes turned red, and he timidly dared not approach Ziqi.He just lowered his head and looked at Xie Ziqi's bloody wrist.

Ziqi comforted her, "It's okay, you've done a good job."

Liu Jiyu raised his head suddenly, looked at Ziqi, tears slipped silently from the corner of his eyes. "teacher……"

Ziqi patted her head lightly, "It's okay."

Liu Jiyu murmured, and tightly grabbed the corner of Xie Ziqi's clothes, refusing to let go.

Su Wushang, who was standing by the side, watched the interaction between Xie Ziqi and Liu Jiyu, feeling relief, self-pity, guilt, all kinds of emotions were intertwined, it was hard to tell what kind of psychology he was in.In the end, he was too embarrassed to look at Xie Ziqi carefully.

He came to Beijing with all his heart, maybe he just added to the chaos.

Liu Jiyu was aware of this heart-burning atmosphere.Although this man is a friend of the teacher, he was used to be threatened with her. Obviously this man is very important to the teacher, but this man has a cold expression towards the teacher. She is curious and wants to break the atmosphere , so she concealed her subtle jealousy and asked curiously, "Teacher, who is he?"

Hearing this, Su Wushang's hands trembled slightly uncontrollably, he seemed afraid to listen to Xie Ziqi's answer.

"A best friend who will live and die." Xie Ziqi said softly, with a look of confusion in his eyes, as if he saw the young man in white robe riding a horse and carrying a gun, following him thousands of miles away.

Su Wushang looked at Xie Ziqi steadily, after a while, Su Wushang closed his eyes to hide a tear that was about to fall, he sighed slightly in his heart, something was relieved.This trip to Beijing was not in vain.Even if I die now, I have no regrets.

Opening his eyes again, he walked up to Xie Ziqi, raised a smiling face, and said happily, "Ziqi, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

But Liu Jiyu felt an inexplicable sadness. Many years later, she gazed at Xiehu in the Xie Garden in the palace, and unexpectedly recalled and felt this emotion.

On the third day after Xie Ziqi made the five-day bet, it was the current emperor's birthday.Qin Tianjian said: Good luck.

Civil and military officials gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, interacted and saluted, said congratulations, and paid homage to His Majesty.

The emperor and the sixth prince walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony talking, and in the eyes of all civil and military officials, there was a lot of calculations and calculations in their hearts.

"Cheng'er, today is my birthday, I want to give you a present? What do you want?"

The sixth prince Li Sheng said without hesitation: "I want to choose my own teacher."

"Okay, I promise you. But what is Sheng'er's gift?"

"Keep it secret, I will deliver it myself." Li Sheng shook his head and refused to tell the emperor.

"Okay." The emperor looked at Li Sheng sitting on the side, but sitting high on the throne. After saying a few words, all the officials began to offer congratulatory gifts.From the ninth rank to the first rank, the congratulatory gift increases sequentially.From Wanlisu to Wanfutu, to all kinds of jewelry, jade, coral trees, etc., all officials were dazzled and amazed.However, the emperor just nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his face.

The long gift list was boring and uninteresting, which made Li Sheng yawn.Suddenly, someone grabbed him by the corner of his clothes, and Li Sheng looked back, that person was his personal eunuch. "What's wrong?"

The little eunuch looked anxious, and he whispered in Li Sheng's ear, "The mysterious gift from Xie Ziqi..."

Before the little eunuch finished speaking, Li Sheng ran out of the palace with a face full of surprise.The little eunuch also hurriedly chased and ran out.

A tall man in a blue shirt stood under a tree.Li Sheng ran over when he saw it.

"It's you?" Li Sheng couldn't hide his disappointment.

It turned out that the person was none other than Yang Zhi.

"Hello sixth prince." Yang Zhi saluted.Then he took out a small package and handed it to Li Sheng.

"This is a mysterious gift from Ziqi to you."

Li Sheng instantly became happy, took the small package, opened it and asked, "Where's the teacher?"

Yang Zhi couldn't help thinking that Ziqi disappeared after the hand-talk that day, and no one was allowed to enter Zifang.Yang Zhi obeyed Ziqi's words, never asked about Ziqi and never set foot in Ziqi's room.Ten days later, it was the day agreed by Yang Zhi and Ziqi, Yang Zhi opened the kit.According to the brochure bag, let him go to the window of the study in Zifang to take out a package, and then follow the Prime Minister to the palace when the emperor's birthday is celebrated, and give the package to the sixth prince.

"Ziqi is no longer in the prime minister's residence."

Li Sheng was extremely disappointed, he took the package and left embarrassingly.

But Yang Zhi stopped him, handed him a book, and said: "This is a congratulatory gift from me, a poor man, to His Majesty, please help the Sixth Prince to present it."

Li Sheng nodded, took it away, and when he returned to his seat, he heard a eunuch read: "The next congratulatory gift, Xie Xizhi's "Sacrificial Son and Nephew Died in the Night Rain"..."

The emperor on the throne showed an uncontrollable ecstatic expression on his face, the third prince and the prince standing in front of the officials glanced at each other, the prince was proud, while the third prince smiled meaningfully at the prince.

The crown prince glanced at the third prince in surprise, and then heard the eunuch continue to read: "The third prince presents."

The prince stared at the eunuch, unbelievable.

But the emperor shouted eagerly: "Bring me that calligraphy and painting."

The eunuch respectfully presented the calligraphy and painting.

The emperor left the throne with half his ass, stared at the eunuch and said, "Slow down."

The eunuch's footsteps became more cautious, carefully presenting it to His Majesty.

Everyone was staring at this calligraphy and painting that moved His Majesty's heart.However, when the emperor took it and looked at it like a treasure, the prince suddenly said, "Father, this painting is fake."

Everyone was shocked, and the emperor's face instantly became ugly.Everyone looked at the third prince.But seeing that the third prince was neither in a hurry nor panic, he said to the prince, "Why did you say that, Brother Emperor? Could it be..."

The third prince cast meaningful eyes on the prince, and the prince immediately jumped up and said: "I have a certificate, and what I present here is also Xie Xizhi's "Sacrificial Son and Nephew Died in the Night Rain". The only one in my hand is the authentic one."

The third prince raised his voice again, and the prince immediately pointed to the eunuch who read the congratulatory gift, "You continue to read for Gu."

Under everyone's gaze, the eunuch read tremblingly: "Next... the next congratulatory gift, Xie Xizhi's "Sacrificial Son and Nephew Died in the Night Rain"...presented by the prince."

Everyone was staring at the calligraphy and painting, which was obviously different from the single painting and calligraphy presented by the third prince. This is the preface, painting and calligraphy.

One on the left and one on the right, respectively placed on the imperial case.The emperor looked at the calligraphy and paintings presented by the three princes on the left, touched the three paintings on the right, and couldn't help tasting them again.In the two pictures, the words are both shocking and indistinguishable.

Except for Liu Wuji, who had a pale face and lowered his head, the other courtiers stretched their necks and looked up.

Liu Wuji broke out in cold sweat, and couldn't help but think in his heart that the third prince is crazy, and he actually gave the fake paintings to the prince and even presented them, what a scandal it is.What exactly does the third prince want to do.

While everyone was staring at Xie Xizhi's true and false painting, Li Sheng only focused on the package.He opened the package, and there were a pair of words, a pen, an ink, and a few grains of soil inside. He placed it on the table and looked at it blankly, not knowing what it meant.

At this time, the emperor finally stopped appreciating the real and fake Xie Xi's calligraphy and painting, and according to his eyesight, he didn't see it.

He first looked at the prince and the third prince, "How did you get this painting?"

The third prince and the prince said in unison: "From a monk." After finishing speaking, the prince was stunned and looked at the third prince fixedly.

The emperor nodded, "Yes, this calligraphy and painting was taken by the royal family of the previous dynasty. After the defeat of the previous dynasty, it was brought to the people by a prince of the royal family. It is said that the prince was ordained ordained as a monk. Only I know about this. "

The emperor turned his eyes to the officials again, and said, "Ai Qing, who can check the truth for me?"

Knowing the truth and falsehood, Liu Wuji glanced at the third prince uncontrollably, but saw the sneer on the corner of the third prince's mouth.Then, the head lowered even more.

At this time, on Jinghua Suzaku Street, officers and soldiers stationed in the outskirts suddenly broke in and went straight to the palace.

But in the palace, there are still singing and dancing.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the emperor glanced at the ministers, but no one stepped forward.Everyone knows that His Majesty likes Xie Xizhi's calligraphy and painting. If you ask about Xie Xizhi's calligraphy and painting appreciation and anecdotes, no one would dare to fight in front of the emperor.

The emperor was a little disappointed.

The sixth prince Li Sheng stood up suddenly and said, "Father, my son knows."

The emperor was a little surprised: "Cheng'er, how do you know?"

Li Sheng said unhurriedly: "I heard from a descendant of Xie Xi that Xie Xizhi's calligraphy and paintings are made of different materials, and they will not be destroyed by fire, while other fake paintings will be turned into ashes."

The emperor glanced at the real and fake calligraphy and paintings, hesitated, and asked again, "Cheng'er, are you sure?"

Li Sheng's eyes flashed the scene of Xie Ziqi's calligraphy and painting being burned in the Zifang study of Xiangfu that day. After the calligraphy and painting were burned, it was still the same as before.At that time, the teacher told him that Xie Xizhi's calligraphy and paintings were like this, and these calligraphy and paintings included this one.

Li Sheng glanced at the words, a pen, an ink, and a few grains of soil on the bank again, and nodded seriously.

The emperor laughed loudly: "Okay, my son has courage."

A calligraphy and painting by Xie Xizhi is hard to compare with a Jiaer.

The two candles were placed under the calligraphy and painting presented by the third prince and the crown prince respectively. When the fire met the paper, it would burn instantly. Everyone stared at it without daring to blink, even the crown prince was holding his breath.Only the third prince glanced outside the main hall door.

In an instant, the calligraphy and painting presented by the third prince turned into ashes, while the calligraphy and painting presented by the prince remained intact.Everyone was stunned.

The prince immediately became arrogant, and after a look of gloating, he pointed at the third prince angrily and said: "You actually dare to dedicate the fake painting to the father, you are insulting the father, you should be sentenced to never enter the capital. "

The third prince immediately knelt down on the ground: "My father made atonement, but my child didn't notice. On my father's birthday, such a scandal happened, and my child is willing to accept all punishments."

Everyone looked at the crown prince and shook their heads. They didn't have the demeanor of a prince of a country at all.He looked at the third prince who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help feeling sorry.The third prince was successful in martial arts, but he has since lost his qualifications.

Only Liu Wuji looked at the third prince kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely as if facing an enemy.What did the third prince think? The single calligraphy and painting in his hand was obviously real, but it had already been reduced to ashes, while the three calligraphy and painting presented by the prince were clearly drawn by Xie Ziqi himself, and they were obviously fake calligraphy and paintings, but they were not afraid of fire , What exactly does the third prince want to do?Liu Wuji almost drove these thoughts crazy.

The emperor stroked the calligraphy and painting presented by the prince, and glanced at the third prince kneeling on the ground, who was not as close as usual, and gave a cold look, full of warning: "It's okay, get up, and have a snack later."

Then he looked at the sixth prince and summoned him to his side. "Cheng'er, do you want any reward?"

Li Sheng shook his head, and took out a volume of books from his sleeve, "Father, this is a congratulatory gift from a poor man who entrusted me to Father."

The emperor took it and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help being surprised.The congratulatory gift was a book, which contained three national policies. The emperor just read the beginning and asked, "Cheng'er, where is that poor scholar now?"

Li Sheng replied, "It's just outside the hall."

The emperor quickly said, "Quickly declare."

When Yang Zhi entered the Hall of Peaceful Harmony, the emperor immediately gave him the title of Chief Minister, seated him next to the sixth prince, and praised him a few more words.The emperor couldn't help picking up Xie Xizhi's calligraphy and painting to admire.

Suddenly, the emperor felt a palpitation, and his heart was like a convulsion.The emperor was busy supporting the case, and saw that his fingernails had all turned black, and then he was powerless and collapsed on the ground.
