Sending off politely and distantly—or leaving in anger—the ex-boyfriend, Xiao Mingyue led his personal guards to wipe out a wave of mobs in the Black Cloud Swamp, ensuring that all the people buried in Xiao Yu were wiped out, and then A lot of thunderbolts were pulled out from the poisonous marsh, and the lead wires were still connected together. As long as one place was ignited, the entire black cloud marsh would bloom everywhere.

This batch of Thunder Fire Bombs was dismantled by personal guards who were skilled in this art. Xiao Mingyue flicked his sleeves and rushed back to his brother. Xia Yunze was changing Xiao Mingxuan's dressing. The wound stopped bleeding and the color returned to normal.

Ashamed to say, just when he and Hu Yanlin were at war with each other, Miss Caiwei had prepared the antidote soup without turning her eyes. After pouring down a bowl of medicine, Xiao Mingxuan's complexion was rosy, the swelling in his arm disappeared completely, and he was alive and well again. A hero.

Xiao Mingyue put her hanging heart back to its original position, and the inspectors first withdrew from the Black Cloud Swamp. If they stayed in this place for a long time, even if they took the detoxification pills in advance, it would still have an impact on the body.

For the rest, go back to camp and make plans.

Xia Yunze remembered that he had sent someone back to the camp to report to everyone to leave the camp as soon as possible, and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his head.

Previously, I was afraid that the poisonous gas would spread after the explosion of the thunder and fire bomb in Heiyun Marsh, but now the false alarm happened and nothing happened, and the emperor was still sick. The reason is muddled.

As a result, when he went to the camp, he didn't need to make up the reason, and Xiao Yu saved him trouble.

Lord Tai had been planning for a long time, and it was certain to win. He fought directly on two fronts. He not only ambushed a large number of people in Dongxian Mountain to intercept and kill Xiao Mingxuan, but also arranged assassins in the camp, and sneaked into the tent to assassinate the emperor while the guards were changing shifts!

That night happened to be Concubine Chen's sickness. The assassin was so skilled that he injured more than a dozen palace people. He rushed straight to the emperor's bed and was about to commit murder. Eight feet to subdue the assassin.

The assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide immediately. Concubine Chen suffered some flesh wounds and was so frightened that she fell ill when she returned to her tent. , tremblingly presented it to the emperor, but when the emperor saw the writing on it, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

That's the prince's handwriting!

He just reminded the crown prince not to be merciful, but his good son actually turned against him as a gentleman father? !

The Emperor Lei Ting was furious, and with a verbal order, Xiao Mingyue was imprisoned as soon as he returned to the camp, making the whole group confused, and they didn't even know what they were complaining about.

Fortunately, Eunuch He was well-informed, and Xia Yunze knew that someone had attempted to kill the king, and the prince's letter was also found on him.

Another letter from the prince!Knowing how to write is miserable, it is better to chop hands to keep safe!

Xiao Mingxuan was the one who had experienced this kind of lesson. He took a look at Concubine Chen, and then without even bothering to change his clothes, he pleaded with his father and emperor, trying his best to prove that the prince was innocent, and the letters were framed by gangsters.

He just asked his mother, with the assassin's skill, she is definitely not a weak woman who can stop him, if he is really determined to assassinate, he will not wait for the guards to come to rescue him.

It seems that the assassination is false, but the involvement of the prince is true.

Xiao Mingxuan experienced so many intrigues and calculations, and finally he was no longer an impulsive and irritable reckless man. He calmed down in the shortest possible time, knelt down on the emperor's couch and explained his reasons——

"The people behind the scenes thought that my brother and I were at odds, so they tried their best to provoke us to fight against each other, but the emperor only has two princes under his knees, even if one of us got his hands and killed the other, the emperor would not be able to really avenge the crime." If we come down, we still want to protect us, this doesn’t mean that our father doesn’t love our brothers, but it’s just a helpless act of not being able to let the emperor’s heir be cut off.”

He raised his head, his eyes were piercing, and his tone was firm: "The only thing that my father can't cover up is the heinous crime of treason, which is heinous. That man decided to set up an ambush to kill me in Dongxian Mountain. The crime of killing the king is pinned on the elder brother, if the scheme succeeds, the father will not only lose the youngest son, but also personally depose the eldest son, and the father is sick at this time, how can he survive?"

The emperor was lying on his side on the couch, short of breath, he had to pat his back from time to time to get over his breath, he half-closed his eyes, and after listening to his youngest son's sincere words, he remained silent for a while, letting Xiao Mingxuan kneel until his knees went numb, Then he sighed in a low voice: "Shen Zhi, you have grown up."

Xiao Mingxuan lowered his head, and said in shame: "It's because Meng Lang was ignorant before, and he almost failed his father's painstaking efforts."

The emperor coughed twice, with a hoarse phlegm, and said: "Since you firmly believe that the prince is innocent, think, ask, and investigate to find the real culprit and help him out of trouble."

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes lit up, and he tentatively asked, "Then my brother..."

"He hasn't cleared his suspicions, so he should stay in the tent and don't run around." The emperor sighed again when he thought of his gentle and refined eldest son.

There was nothing like him in that son, he was soft and weak, and he was taught by the Taifu to be pedantic and ignorant.

Over the years, the pressure of inheriting the throne has often kept him awake at night, and the officials were dissatisfied with not appointing a crown prince, but he really regretted the appointment of a crown prince.

If the youngest son, who has always been absurd, could change his face and show his talents, he wouldn't be so helpless.

"Then my brother is too pitiful..." Xiao Mingxuan instinctively wanted to complain to his brother, but the emperor shook his head and waved him back.

How can a prince who always makes people feel pitiful bear the responsibility of governing the country?The power is in Xiao Mingyue's hands, can he really hold it?Over the years, Concubine Shun and her family have worked tirelessly to build momentum for the crown prince, and what they are trying to achieve is not just the achievements of the dragon, right?

He really couldn't bear to dethrone the crown prince, but if he really let such a weak child ascend the throne, would he love him or harm him?

He was disturbed and had another heart-piercing dry cough.

As soon as Xiao Mingxuan left the tent, he gave orders to the Prince's tent to be heavily guarded, no one except his close relatives was allowed to trespass, the clothes and food he sent had to be inspected one by one, the people around him were still old people from the Eastern Palace, no one was allowed to make things difficult.

Not only to guard but also to protect, the young Prince Duan showed unshakable dominance towards his elder brother, even faintly showing the posture of overpowering the prince.

Concubine Chen frowned and drank a few bowls of bitter medicine soup. Hearing this, she regained her spirits, called her son into the tent, and whispered: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it."

"What chance?" Xiao Mingxuan couldn't sit still, and wanted to run out with all his heart, Concubine Chen glared at him, and said angrily, "I thought you were more stable, why are you still so edgy? Who said that it would be better to die than to let others betray their relatives? of?"

"Ah?" Xiao Mingxuan looked dumbfounded like a duck Tinglei, Concubine Jing Chen reminded him that he was framed and whipped by his brother last winter, and at that time he really had the idea of ​​letting his brother fall from the clouds into the dust.

"It's only been less than a year, and you've forgotten all about it?" Concubine Chen poked his forehead fiercely, her tone resentful, "Your father has always been dissatisfied with him, this time it doesn't matter whether he is wronged or not, as long as you Let your royal father see by showing your talents, Xiao Mingyue's crown prince can still be so secure?"

Xiao Mingxuan couldn't help laughing, thinking about the diametrically opposite state of mind at the time, it felt like a world away.

"The matter of abolishing the establishment, the mother must not speak indiscriminately." He stopped the concubine Chen's words, and said seriously: "Everything is up to the father, I just need to do my best."

"Oh, my silly son." Concubine Chen stomped her feet angrily, "You are an honest gentleman, how do you know there will be no suspicion?"

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes darkened, and he felt that what his mother said made sense. Although the crown prince was sincere to him, he was soft-hearted. He always obeyed Concubine Shun's words, and Concubine Shun and her natal brothers were not easy-going.

He hastily bid farewell to Concubine Chen, went out and gave another order: Concubine Shun and everyone in the palace are not allowed to enter the prince's tent.

In the eyes of others, the prince is completely isolated. Fortunately, the princess's status is aloof, and she can be comforted.

Xiao Mingyue's sudden change caused her to be dazed and in a trance, she just sat silently, and did not move her chopsticks when the food brought in was cold.

Xia Yunze stuffed the chopsticks into his hand and said, "No matter what, you must eat well."

Xiao Mingyue looked up at him like a child who suddenly woke up from a nightmare, and whispered, "It's not me."

"I know." Xia Yunze patted him on the shoulder, "Let's eat first, so that the green mountains are still there, and I'm not afraid that there will be no firewood."

The prince lowered his head and gobbled it up for a while, and without chewing, he stuck his neck down and swallowed. He mechanically filled his stomach, and was stared at by him and poured a bowl of ginseng soup. Then he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and opened a pair of eyes that were as clear as water. , looked at him expectantly.

"It's not me." Xiao Mingyue emphasized again, aggrieved and sad, Xia Yunze nodded solemnly, and comforted him: "Shen Zhi also believes that it wasn't you, so don't worry, we will investigate thoroughly and return your innocence."

If the charge of treason and regicide is proven, not to mention the crown prince's life will be lost, the family of concubines Shun will be punished. Xiao Mingyue's reputation is very high, and his younger brother has made it clear that he will not fight with him. As long as he does not commit suicide, The Ninth Five-Year position is just around the corner, and he will seek power and usurp the throne only if he is crazy.

What's more, even if you want to kill the king, how many chances did you have to do it when you were sick? As for sending an assassin with a letter to perform a bad show of throwing himself into the net?

"Besides, Shen Zhi sent heavy troops to guard, because he is afraid that someone will take the opportunity to harm you." He also had to say something to his brother-in-law to prevent the brothers from being divorced, "There are many people with ulterior motives standing behind your brothers. It's going to be unmanageable."

To put it bluntly, he was afraid that Xiao Mingyue would "suicide" while awaiting trial, and that would really be death without proof.

Xiao Mingyue nodded, feeling a little at ease, in such a situation that everyone avoids and fears, and having brothers and wives running for him, isn't it a blessing in life?

"He has sent someone to urgently summon the Grand Tutor. You have been masters and apprentices for many years, and he will be able to recognize that the letter was not from you." Xia Yunze gave the prince another reassurance. Unexpectedly, the prince not only did not feel relieved, but his expression became more dignified. , hesitated for a long time, and asked in a low voice: "Yunze, do you think... father really can't recognize my handwriting?"

This idea was like a poisonous seed, which took root and grew in his heart, and it survived like weeds. He hated himself for having such a rebellious guess, and tried to persuade himself not to have delusional thoughts in a masochistic manner.

Is it true that the father can't recognize his handwriting, or after seeing Xiao Mingxuan's ability, does he want to change the prince smoothly?

He was tormented by this thought for a whole day, he didn't think about food and drink, he didn't think about it, and he had no one to talk to, besieged on all sides, isolated and helpless, his body and mind were as cold as ice and snow.

"Yunze, if father wants Shenzhi, I'm willing to let you be worthy!" Xiao Mingyue's eyes were flushed, and she tried not to let the tears roll down, "I'm not someone who loves power and power, but I can't help myself, as long as Shenzhi treats me kindly." Mother's clan, I am willing to hand over the position of crown prince."

He knew that he was not expected to be an emperor, but the Concubine Shun clan had high hopes for him, not only paving the way for him, but also relying on his protection, so he bit the bullet and climbed up, even giving up his body to cling to Hu Yanlin.

In the past, he always thought that the only way out was to ascend to the high position, but now he is no longer the Xiao Mingyue who has nothing and can only treat power as driftwood. Brother and confidant who talks about everything, his life has changed from thin and boring to thick and rich, why bother to tie himself to that cold throne with all his heart?

If he can get rid of the position of prince that has already made him overwhelmed, will he be able to gallop freely on the grassland, under the sun, in the moonlight, be at ease with the situation, be his home everywhere, and not be bound by the dust net , chasing everything he yearned for like a bird?

Looking at Xiao Mingyue like this, Xia Yunze not only showed deep-seated despair, but also burst out with vigorous hope. The contradictions were clear, like a phoenix in nirvana, like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"You don't have to be so pessimistic." He could only comfort himself by talking like this, anyway, when he imitated his father's handwriting, his grandfather didn't see it.

Otherwise, it would be men's doubles, and it's hard to say whether he can live to time travel.
