The news that the crown prince was thrown into prison due to disrespectful servants was blown into the homes of high officials and nobles with the night wind that night, like a stone stirring up thousands of waves, shaking the entire imperial city.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor forced his sick body to come to the Zichen Hall, and watched the courtiers and demons dancing in the hall with cold eyes.

Concubine Shun's eldest brother, Minister of Rites, He Lianjie, took the lead in launching the attack, and went up to prove that the prince is lenient, benevolent, virtuous and unparalleled, and then Concubine Shun's father, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, He Lianying, followed closely behind, and even the stern and selfless Taifu Chen After leaving the stage for his beloved disciple, all the ministers responded with a shout.

The power behind the prince shocked the emperor even.

Fortunately, after listening to Xiao Mingxuan's dissuasion, he did not directly issue an edict to abolish the reserve.

"The crown prince is powerful, so the emperor should plan it slowly."

The emperor looked at the civil and military ministers who interceded for the prince. They were once his right-hand men to bring down King Kang. Now these eagle dogs have fattened up their courage and ambition and started to turn against his master?

The prince is young and handsome, with a gentle temperament. Compared with the emperor in his prime, the old officials with evil intentions want such an immature young master who is easy to manipulate.

Especially the members of Helian's family, who have high meritorious deeds and can't lose their tails, relying on the merits of helping and protecting them, I'm afraid they never put themselves as the emperor in their eyes.

Even Concubine Shun, a womanizer, dared to have an affair with King Kang's scoundrel behind his back, reproducing that little scoundrel of Xiao Mingyue.

When he remembered that he cared and loved Xiao Mingyue like his own son, entrusted him with important responsibilities, and even almost handed over the imperial power that he had worked so hard to regain from King Kang to him, the emperor's chest was full of blood, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The emperor occasionally quarreled with his courtiers in the court hall, but this was the first time he was so angry that he vomited blood. Everyone was silent for a while, and then exploded in the Zichen Hall.

"Pass the imperial physician!"

"Where's Eunuch Lu?!"

"Hurry up and support the emperor!"

……

The emperor vomited blood, which seemed to confirm the crown prince's crime of being disrespectful. When Eunuch Lu and a group of eunuchs hurriedly carried the emperor back to the palace, the officials lowered their eyebrows and slowly exited the Zichen Palace. Their eyes flew wildly at each other, and they were all curious about what kind of disaster a pure and kind gentleman like the crown prince had caused to make the emperor so angry.

The wind and waves are blowing in the front, and the harem is also undercurrent.

As soon as Concubine Shun heard the news that the prince was in prison, she knew it was over.

Unlike Xiao Mingxuan, who was a daily routine, the emperor rarely even reprimanded the crown prince, and the heaviest punishment was copying books. This time, he sent him to the Imperial Prison for no reason, except for the incident.

Compared with Liushen Wuzhu when she was in Dongxian Mountain, she is calm now.

The emperor would not make this scandal public. If he wanted to abolish the crown prince, "serving the sick and disrespectful" is not a reason that can stand scrutiny, and other charges must be made.

The prince's imprisonment is just the beginning, and the emperor will not let it go.

The female family members of Helian's family handed over the signs early in the morning, and they were no longer as arrogant as before, and all of them turned into shrunken quails.

Xiao Mingyue was tied to the warship of this huge tribe since she was born, conspired to live together, and shared weal and woe.

Now that the crown prince was thrown into that disgraceful jail by an imperial decree, how could the Helian family be left alone?

Perhaps not only the Helian family, but the entire tribe will suffer accordingly.

So they had no choice but to go into the palace tremblingly to find Concubine Shun to inquire about the news and ask for an idea by the way.

Concubine Shun has any idea?A few words of reassurance told them to go back and restrain their families. Don't jump too high and anger the emperor, but the loss outweighs the gain.

After sending her natal family away, she didn't even care about breakfast, so she hurried to ask her daughter-in-law for advice.

Back then, when he swore to save the prince's life, he couldn't just talk in plain language.

The crown prince was imprisoned, and the East Palace was filled with terror. People were in panic, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

Xia Yunze simply gave everyone a holiday, leaving only a few confidants to serve.

Eunuch He was quite calm, so he went to give money to the warden overnight. Although he didn't see the crown prince, at least he got a hint that no one was embarrassing his master, and he really took a reassurance.

The Crown Princess visited Duanwang Mansion at night and did not come back until dawn. The clouds were scattered and the temples were full of spring. Her face was full of dewy pear blossoms, which made Eunuch He feel that the entire Eastern Palace was covered under a green cloud.

He didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare to ask. He shed a tear for the prince in his heart, and he was glad that his six sense organs were clean and he didn't have any troubles in this regard.

Xia Yunze changed his clothes, and before the chair warmed up, Concubine Shun rushed over in a hurry.

"The prince is fine." He suffered from severe sleep deprivation, yawned one after another, his eyes were filled with tears, and he still had to cheer up to deal with his mother-in-law, "The most urgent thing is to find Xiao Zhen as soon as possible, it would be a disaster to leave him outside."

According to the news from the secret guard who followed Lian Ziyu, he parted ways with Xiao Yu as soon as he left Xiao Town in Dongxian Mountain, and fled towards the capital with a few confidants.

Now Xiao Yu and the emperor are secretly searching for this person, Xiao Yu wants to use him to cause trouble for the government, the emperor wished to kill him soon, and he would not be able to please anyone who fell into his hands.

Concubine Shun has been inseparable from him for so many years, so naturally there are many unknown contact methods.

She was deceived by the lard before, but now her feelings are exhausted and her hatred is overflowing, so she volunteered to go out of the palace in disguise to fish Xiao Zhen out.

Xia Yunze rubbed his forehead, Xiao Mingxuan entered the palace early in the morning, there was really no one to discuss, thinking that it would be too late to arrest him, so he asked Eunuch He to send a letter to Prince Duan, and he took Caiwei and disguised himself as Concubine Shun The maid beside her took some care and went out of the palace with her.

The emperor vomited blood this time, and his condition became more serious. However, the troubled times did not allow him to take care of him carefully.

The prince in the imperial prison has become a hot potato.

Keeping him will make the Helian family be cautious and not dare to act rashly, but they are afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry and force the palace to usurp the throne to welcome the new emperor.

Kneeling in front of the dragon couch, Xiao Mingxuan urged the emperor not to go too far. Xiaoyu and Xiaozhen have not yet been brought to justice, and the execution of Xiao Mingyue may cause turmoil in the current situation, allowing the two kings to take the opportunity to stir up trouble.

After all, the royal family wants face, so it is absolutely impossible to disclose Xiao Mingyue's life experience, so they can only use some trumped-up charges to cover up people's eyes and ears, how can they convince the public?

Not to mention the courtiers, even the common people would be outraged. If ordinary people were bewitched by traitors to cause civil disorder, the imperial court would be passive and even more out of control.

There is a bit of selfishness under the righteous and awe-inspiring words, and only he himself knows it best.

In the past, he tried everything to destroy Xiao Mingyue, but that person was invulnerable. Now he tried every means to keep Xiao Mingyue, but that guy was full of loopholes. The people from his mother's clan continued to add fuel to the flames, as if they were afraid of the emperor's mercy.

Good fortune tricks people, and the pale yellow is overturned.

He also heard about the early court affairs. He Lian's family has been treated too much by you all these years, and they have grown arrogant. In the past, the emperor still cared that they were the prince's ancestral family, and he didn't want to hurt the relationship between father and son. Now Since Xiao Mingyue and Xiao Mingyue are not father and son, how can there be any affection?

The emperor was moved by his words, and his expression was thoughtful.

Xiao Mingyue is still useful to keep, whether it's the crown prince's status or his life.

If Xiao Mingyue could use Xiao Mingyue to deal with the Helian family without bloodshed, he wouldn't mind being lenient and giving that little villain a way out.

A fluffy phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, Xiao Mingyue loses his status as a prince, what kind of troubles can he cause?

Xiao Mingxuan served the emperor with decoction, got up and left, and took the emperor's message to the prison to visit Xiao Mingyue.

After spending the night in prison, although no one made it difficult for him, but hearing the intermittent screams coming from the torture room in the distance, Xiao Mingyue's scalp was numb, and she couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned under the quilt until dawn. I couldn't help but fell asleep.

When Xiao Mingxuan came over, he was sleeping soundly, and he didn't wake up when he heard the sound of knocking on the railing, and even chuckled lightly, wondering what a sweet dream it was.

Xiao Mingxuan pondered for a moment, beckoned the warden to come and open the cell door, bent slightly, stepped into the cramped cell lightly, and sat down next to Xiao Mingyue.

He couldn't bear to interrupt, and could only wait for the other party to wake up from the dream.

I only hope that God will take pity on him and make his dream longer and more beautiful.

Xiao Mingyue dreamed about their childhood.

As far back as she can remember, Concubine Shun has always told him to stay away from that mischievous ghost in Concubine Chen's palace, lest he be taken away from his temperament and become a gentle and modest gentleman.

He doesn't think there is anything good about being a gentleman, he just thinks that this is not allowed and that is not allowed, he is extremely restrained, watching Xiao Mingxuan mischievous like a monkey, envious, at the same time, some suppressed things in his heart seem to be vented at the same time, carefree happy.

He has never been a conformist, but he is locked in a grid and not free, and he is used to putting on airs.

He couldn't resist Concubine Shun, and he couldn't run around wildly with Xiao Mingxuan. He could only treat him wholeheartedly when he came looking for him, and keep all the good things for him as silent support and encouragement.

Every time Xiao Mingxuan called his brother to open the door and come in, it brought him the freedom and happiness that he could feel.

Xiao Mingyue opened her eyes, she was not fully awake yet, she seemed to see that energetic young man breaking into his study again in a haze——

"Second brother..." He murmured, smiling happily.

Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, hesitated to speak, and turned his face away uncomfortably.

Only then did Xiao Mingyue recall where she was, and she got up quickly with a shiver, her face blushed, and she said in a low voice: "I don't know that the prince is here, the guilty minister is rude."

Xiao Mingxuan's chest became irritable again, and he imagined throwing a chestnut on Xiao Mingyue's forehead as he did when he was a child, to see if he dared to play like this.

He endured the itching of his hands and said in a muffled voice: "Father pointed out three ways for you, let you choose yourself."

"Oh? I would like to hear more about it." Xiao Mingyue straightened out his long, disheveled hair. The warden was afraid that he would commit suicide, so he even took away the hairpin. His thick black hair was scattered behind him, and he looked pale and weak. pity.

Xiao Mingxuan threw a silk rope over to let him tie his hair, and tried to convey the meaning of the emperor as impersonally as possible——

"One is to give poisoned wine and report to the outside world that he died of a sudden illness."

"The second is to abolish the storage circle ban, and if there is no pardon."

"Third, he was born as the heir to King Rong, and returned to Xinzhou to be the heir, and the matter was wiped out without anyone noticing."

Compared with the first two options, the third option can be said to be a cornerstone, but Xiao Mingyue looked normal, sighed, and replied: "It's better to die than to live, I choose the second option."

Xiao Mingxuan was dumbfounded, stared at him ferociously, and said angrily: "Why are you crazy? Isn't succession a hundred times better than confinement?"

God knows how much saliva, how much thought, and how many detours he has spent before inducing his father to think of succession, and he can't be too obvious to make people suspicious.

I haven't used my brain like this in 20 years, and my head still hurts now!

Xiao Mingyue didn't appreciate it?Does he really want to be imprisoned in a small courtyard to waste his life?

Xiao Mingyue cupped his hands towards him, and said softly: "My lord has put in so much effort for me, Mingyue is very grateful, but I can't just walk away."

Xiao Mingxuan sneered, and asked: "Is there anything else worth remembering in this capital?"

Xiao Mingyue looked towards the empty corridor outside the prison cell, and said: "My grandfather and uncle are very powerful, if I am succeeded, the Helian family may have a different heart."

What's even worse is that it fell into the hands of a foreigner and was coerced into being a pawn to overthrow the imperial power.

Xiao Mingxuan's eyes became warmer, and he smiled wryly, "Why are you always like this..."

They have all been reduced to such a situation, and they even ignore life and death?Think carefully about everything, who wants to keep you safe?

Xiao Mingyue tied up her hair, smiled at him, and said, "It's an unexpected joy to be able to save my life. Unfortunately, there is no alcohol in the prison, otherwise I should drink a glass."

Xiao Mingxuan really wanted to reply that if he hadn't tried his best to deal with it, the poisoned wine would have been sent in, okay?

Why did his elder brother enter the imperial prison, not as hypocritical as before, but as if he had been enlightened, his whole person was much more open-minded?

Xiao Mingyue saw his dissatisfaction, raised her hand, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to persuade, even if it is not to restrain Helian, I will not go to Xinzhou."

"why?"

Xiao Mingyue stood up, straightened her shoulders, and spoke sonorously: "Prince Rong has a heart of disobedience. Mingyue was supported by the court since childhood. Although she has no talent or virtue, she also knows propriety, righteousness and shame. How can she recognize a thief as her father?"

Xiao Mingxuan stared at him for a long time, stood up and bowed back, sighed: "Then it will be as Guangzhi wishes."
