For the next two days, nothing happened. Old Rock King became colder as he continued to investigate. These years, because he believed in the emperor, he believed that if the emperor had no evidence, how could he convict the Bai family?Because of this, and when the incident happened, he was guarding the border and did not clearly face the situation in Beijing that year, so that he really believed that the Bai family had rebelled. The prince, I always thought that the fifth prince came back with some purpose after recognizing his ancestors and returning to his clan.

Looking at these things now, he doubted the emperor he was loyal to for the first time. It has been more than [-] years since he could easily find out the matter with these evidences. If the emperor really went to investigate immediately, it would really be Can't find it?

Realizing something, when the old rock king entered the palace again for a routine daily report, he looked at the fifth prince, his eyes softened quite a bit, and led the elders to look at the younger generation's connection, but he didn't say anything, just took a picture Pat Nie Baichang on the shoulder and entered the inner hall.

The eldest prince glanced at it calmly, and pursed his lips. I'm afraid that the old King Yan made good progress and found out the things above. Is this because he felt pity for the fifth child about the Bai family's affairs?

This is not very good, although he is sure to persuade the son to stand with him with the matter of the fifth son's succession to the harem, but on the side of the old rock king, he will really abandon the old man who has already passed away because of his adopted son. Five and choose him?

The most difficult thing to figure out at this time is the word love, whether it is pity or guilt, as long as it is involved, the situation is out of his control.

But in a hurry, at this juncture, he didn't dare to do anything.

The old rock king entered the inner hall and reported the matter to the old emperor. The old emperor was a little better than before, but his body was still weak, and he looked like he would faint again at any time. He has experienced ups and downs, and he has aged more than ten years. He was not much different from the old rock king, but looking at him now, he seems to be 20 years older than the old rock king, and he feels like he has entered his twilight years.

"Your Majesty, I found this out today. Most of what is written on it has been confirmed. I'm afraid it's..." Old Rock King didn't finish his words, but the meaning behind his words was very clear.

The old emperor put a pillow behind him, gasping for breath, pinching the incriminations with trembling hands, watching how those old officials he trusted conspired with the Ning family to frame the Bai family, the Bai family he was most afraid of back then, but Now it seems that even though the Bai family really holds a heavy army, they have never had a different heart. Even the gentle and docile Bai Concubine was sincere to him, but all of this was ruined by him personally, because of the suspicion in his heart .

"Cough cough, cough cough..." The old emperor coughed violently again, Eunuch Liu hurried forward to help him beat his back, and when the old emperor finally calmed down, he suddenly heard urgent footsteps and noise outside, When he got close, the commander of the imperial guards was kneeling on the ground outside, and the voice of the armor could even be heard clearly. The voice of the commander of the imperial guards was full of anxiety, "The emperor, something happened to the emperor, the second prince...is gone!"

The old emperor's already stopped coughing became violent again. He stared outside with scarlet eyes, and waved his hands vigorously to let the commander of the imperial guards come in.

The old Yan Wang had a bad feeling, obviously these princes were trapped in the side hall and let special people guard them, how could they disappear?It is still missing in the palace, what does this mean? The old rock king is very clear, that is, someone in the palace helped the second prince escape, and even so silently, there are at least a lot of insiders in the palace.

Sure enough, when the commander of the imperial guard came in, he finished talking about the situation before the second prince disappeared. As the old rock king expected, the second prince had an internal response in the palace, and he disappeared so suddenly without arousing anyone's suspicion. The old emperor was so angry that he couldn't hold back and vomited blood again, "Nizi...Nizi..." Before anything happened, he ran away, and there was an internal response in the palace. Who helped the second son run away?Is it easy for the emperor if the second child wants to assassinate him?Why does the second child have so many people of his own in the palace?This meaning is simply too obvious!

With his last breath, the old emperor asked the commander of the imperial guards to immediately investigate the whereabouts of the second prince, who was wanted throughout the city, searched the entire palace, and brought Concubine Ning to him as a special guard.

Concubine Ning was in a state of distress when she came over, crying and begging, "Your Majesty, the emperor must not have done it on purpose, how could he leave his concubine and run away, the concubine is his mother concubine, how could he Run away? Why did this concubine give birth to such a rebellious son... Wuwuwu, Your Majesty, this concubine has no face to see you, and this concubine doesn't want to live anymore..." As she said this, she really wanted to bump her head, but she was hurriedly told by the nanny. He stopped, and begged the old emperor, "Your majesty, since your empress was locked up, she has never seen the second prince except for coming to accompany the empress and empress every day to take care of your illness. The empress really doesn't know about the second prince... …emperor!"

The old emperor looked at Concubine Ning's pear-blossoming rainy face, probably Concubine Ning was crying too badly, the old emperor had never seen Concubine Ning so sad and disappointed, his old and muddy eyes fell on her, and he gritted his teeth, " Making trouble, making trouble...what trouble? Zhen...zhen..." Before finishing speaking, she became short of breath and passed out again.

Because it was not confirmed that Concubine Ning was involved, and there was even no evidence that Concubine Ning was involved in the Ning family's affairs, and the old emperor did not say anything other than to control Concubine Ning before he fell into a coma, Concubine Ning was imprisoned in this way. The old emperor has not been punished in any way, and the commander of the imperial guards can no longer take care of Concubine Ning. He has to send more people in the palace to start investigating who let the second prince go, and even contact various ministries to search inside and outside the palace. The whereabouts of the second prince.

Not only that, but the Ning family also had to increase their manpower to start guarding, which made everyone inside and outside the court hall into a mess.

But the second prince disappeared just like that, and even closed the city gate to prevent anyone from going out, but he couldn't catch him. As the days progressed, finally on New Year's Eve, the old emperor was still sick on the dragon couch and couldn't get up at all. The queen looked at such an old emperor, and guessed that it would not be possible to do it this year, so she just kept it simple, and with so many princes, grandchildren and granddaughters trapped in the palace, it saved people from entering the palace.

Although it can't be a big deal, it is the last day of this year's reunion dinner. Empress Qi asked someone to set up a large table. Because she was concerned about the old emperor's body, she simply placed it in the old emperor's palace. Empress Qi personally brought someone to replace it. The old emperor put on the dragon robe and looked refreshed, probably because he was finally a little happy. The old emperor felt that his cough was not so severe at the moment, and he was even in good spirits.

He was supported by Empress Qi to stand up in front of him, and Eunuch Liu quickly supported the other side, which made the old emperor stand still. The old emperor turned his head to look at Empress Qi who was red-eyed and worried, and patted her The back of his hand, "Queen, I... have treated you badly all these years."

Unexpectedly, the Ning family was the real wolf ambition, but in the end it was Empress Qi, the first wife, who was by his side.

Empress Qi's eyes became even redder, she was overjoyed in her heart, her face was dignified and virtuous, "I only want you to be well, Your Majesty..."

The old emperor also felt that during this time lying on the dragon couch, Empress Qi was the one who devoted herself the most. Besides, Concubine Ning Guifei, but thinking of the second prince, the old emperor held his breath again. He stopped thinking about it and was supported Go to the main hall.

After walking out of the dormitory, I saw Concubine Ning and other concubines whose eyes were red from crying. Concubine Ning's eyes were swollen from crying a long time ago. The pear blossoms were raining, and her plain clothes were not as gorgeous as before. Concubine Tianning did her best, especially when she heard the movement, Concubine Ning didn't dare to look up, so she cried out cautiously with her eyes hoarse, "Your Majesty..."

The old emperor was still angry with the second prince, but seeing Concubine Ning's appearance at this moment, and the fact that Concubine Ning was not found to be involved in the news reported by the old King Yan, he finally softened his heart and raised his hand to Concubine Ning, so Ning Gui The imperial concubine was overjoyed and stepped forward immediately, taking over the position of Eunuch Liu. With red eyes, she approached and hugged the old emperor tightly, as if she was afraid of being let go again. This feeling of being cared about gave the old emperor great psychological comfort.

Although Empress Qi was smiling dignifiedly at the side, the smile on the corners of her mouth was frozen. She lowered her eyes to cover up the sarcasm. It was up to Concubine Ning Gui how long she could be proud. The second prince ran away. Being executed, Concubine Ning Gui may have to follow the old path of Concubine Bai.

The old emperor brought his two beloved concubines and a group of concubines to the main hall. Several princes and princesses and their heirs had already sat down. Seeing the old emperor standing up together, the old emperor looked at the crowd and was greeted by the two beloved concubines. With the support of the concubine, she sat on the first seat, while Empress Qi and Concubine Ning were on one side. In the past, the two would have sat in the lower position, but now the old emperor is not feeling well, so when Empress Qi arranged the seat, it was Let them sit with the old emperor directly, for fear that the old emperor will not be able to sit still.

The old emperor also knew his physical condition, so he didn't pay much attention to it, so the New Year's Eve banquet began.

During the banquet, Empress Qi and Concubine Ning seemed to be trying their best to treat the old emperor with food. The old emperor's old appearance was being scrambled for by these two delicate concubines, and he got the greatest psychological satisfaction. I couldn't eat it, but I still ate a lot, but in the middle of the banquet, an accident happened.

The commander of the imperial guards hurried into the palace and his face changed, "The emperor, the emperor is not good! There are soldiers rebelling outside the city gate, and they brought five thousand soldiers to force the palace to enter the imperial city!"

"What?" The silver chopsticks in the old emperor's hand fell directly to the ground, and he wanted to get up, but found that his current body was not strong at all.

The commander of the Imperial Guard hurried over when he got the news, his face turned pale, "Your Majesty, don't worry, King Yan has already led people there, and he should be able to resist."

It's a pity that the Commander of the Imperial Guard had just finished speaking, when suddenly there was another sound of fighting outside, this time the Commander of the Imperial Guard's face changed, a guard hurried in and knelt down on one knee, "My lord, it's not good! The second prince came out of nowhere with [-] private soldiers and has already surrounded the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

"What?" Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded this time, standing up and looking at the guard in disbelief, but as soon as the words fell, they heard a scream, everyone looked reflexively, and saw At this moment, Concubine Ning Guifei, who was sitting beside the old emperor, was holding a dagger that was cut like clay across the old emperor's neck in her hand. The crowd below, and the scream just now came from Queen Qi's mouth.

She was the closest, but she was sitting in another place of the old emperor, and when she found out, it was too late, not to mention, she didn't dare to go forward.

"How are you, Your Majesty? Concubine Ning Gui, what are you doing?" Empress Qi reacted and yelled again sharply. She didn't dare to step forward, but she didn't dare to step back. The old emperor is here. If she The old emperor ran away after the time was up, fearing that she would be very displeased if the emperor relieved the danger.

No one expected to see this scene. The old emperor's face was not good-looking, but when he found out, he found that he was too scared to make a sound. Not only that, but for some reason, his hands and feet were even more immobile, even worse than before. Seriously, he was trembling with anger when he thought of the food that Empress Qi and Concubine Ning were scrambling to feed over just now.

Concubine Ning swept her low-down appearance before, looked around and sneered, and finally landed on Empress Qi, "What does this Palace want to do? Queen, don't you know? Could it be that your Qi family did a good thing to make our Ning family What drove me to this point? But it's a pity, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, even if our Ning family did what happened to the Bai family back then, so what? Could it be that your Qi family didn't contribute to the flames? If it weren't for you The Qi family will fall into trouble, and the Bai family will not die so quickly, nor will those framing be so easily succeeded by us.

Now you are fine, you want to clean up your Qi family and step on our Ning family, yes, your strategy is good, but you don't think about it, your Qi family has been against the Ning family for more than [-] years, we Will you hold back?Speaking of which, it is now so smooth, I have to thank the emperor. "

Concubine Ning started giggling while laughing. She lowered her head and glanced at the old face of the old emperor. An expression of disgust appeared on Bao Yang Deyi's face. Thank you? Of course I have to thank you. If you hadn’t wiped out the entire Bai family back then, how could the concubine know a secret in the hands of the Bai family? You probably don’t know the emperor. The former emperor was afraid that one day, You can't keep this Great Chang Kingdom, so you handed over a copy of the secret road map of the palace to the loyal Bai family, thinking that if something happens to the emperor one day, the Bai family will take people into the palace to take risks and protect the emperor no matter what. your life.

It's a pity that a hundred years of loyalty can't be exchanged for your trust, the emperor. You listened to the slander of our two families and felt suspicious of the master of the Bai family. So how could the trap set up by our two families succeed so easily if it wasn't for the emperor? up?You almost slaughtered the entire Bai family. It's a pity that you exiled General Bai because of Concubine Bai. But it's a pity that he died in the end.

There are still some things that you don't know. After all, the Bai family has such a big family business and has experienced the first emperor, so there must be some secrets in their hands. So, when we were in prison, our Ning family replaced a few people and suppressed them privately. .In a dark place, torture and extort confessions all day long, but those Bai family members are really loyal, so they don’t say anything, but when we tell how their wives and children died tragically, how they died without dignity, how they died How did the dead body die? When the exposed corpse was eaten by vultures in the wilderness, and what did their loyal monarch do to them, someone finally spoke out about the secret road map with hatred.

So look, Your Majesty, we haven't been idle for the past twenty years, we have raised so many private soldiers, and now the Emperor has brought people over from the secret road, isn't this useful?Your Majesty, are you still waiting for someone to save you?But far away water can't solve near fire, don't you think? "

Concubine Ning's shrill laughter made everyone in the hall dare not move. They never thought that the Ning family would take the risk and turn against it.

Empress Qi was blushing at the side, and at this moment she was still thinking about clearing up the Qi family, "Your Majesty, don't believe her words, she is slandering our Qi family, we did not participate in what happened back then...ah!"

It's just that she couldn't finish her sentence at all. Since Ning Guifei dared to hold the emperor hostage, she would either become king or lose the bandit this time. She directly raised her hand and raised the knife to stab Empress Qi who was close at hand and didn't hide away. , and then pulled it up quickly, and the blood of Queen Qi splashed all over the head, face and body of the nearest old emperor. He opened his eyes wide in fear and trembled all over his body. Death was so close, he could only yell in a daze. "Don't come...don't come..."

Concubine Ning killed someone as if nothing happened, she put the dagger across the old emperor's neck again, and looked at the commander of the imperial guard who was planning to secretly attack from behind, "If I can't survive, then I will drag the emperor Going to hell with me, it’s not bad to have the emperor, the real dragon emperor, as your back when you die, right? If you have the ability, let’s see if your movements are faster or my sword is faster?"

Everyone didn't dare to move anymore, they just looked at Ning Guifei standing there with a stiff face, while Empress Qi was lying there beside her, blood was spreading continuously but no one dared to step forward.

The old emperor was frightened out of his wits.

But at this moment, because he didn't expect that there would be so many private soldiers in the palace, there were not many guards outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the [-] private soldiers brought by the second prince soon broke through and directly killed them.

The second prince swept away the previous decadence, dressed in armor vigorously, looked at the quail-like crowd in the hall, and then at his mother and concubine, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you also have today, father, emperor Er has long wanted to say, you are getting old, this position should have changed hands long ago."

The second prince was too proud, and everyone's eyes were on the old emperor and Concubine Ning, so that no one noticed that at the moment when the second prince led troops into chaos, there was one missing in the hall. people.
