Everyone stared straight at the eye-catching scarlet letter, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Dare to ask Master Xie, is Your Majesty already awake?" Someone said with a fluke, "If Your Majesty is awake, why didn't you summon me?"

Xie Anlan stood on the high steps with her hands behind her back, "Your Majesty is not awake."

"Then this government affairs..."

Xie Anlan said, "I approved it."

"You are presumptuous!"

Everyone's complexion changed suddenly, and they almost poked holes in him back and forth with their eyes. Some older civil servants even trembled with anger, and almost pointed at him and scolded him as a "rebellious minister and thief".

Xie Ruyuan took a step forward, with a sullen face, and reprimanded: "You son of a bitch! Who gave you the right to review memorials on behalf of the emperor?"

"The rights given by His Majesty," Xie Anlan said coldly, "If you don't believe me, you can go and ask when Your Majesty wakes up!"

Ji An lowered his head. He is the closest person to the emperor, and he has seen more things than others these days, so he knows best that even if His Majesty wakes up, he won't blame Young Master Xie, and even I will help the young master cover up the past.

Trying to figure out the Sacred Heart, this is also the reason why he chose to help Xie Xiao Hou Ye.

Baiguan was speechless.

If His Majesty wakes up, do they still need to fight here?

Xie Anlan's words were too extreme.

After a while, the Xian Wang who had been silent all this time suddenly narrowed his eyes, "An Lan, are you planning to rebel?"

"I should be the one to ask the virtuous king about this." Xie Anlan's eyes were cold, especially with a hint of boredom. "On weekdays, the virtuous king never asks about political affairs. Why are you so impatient to bring people around when your majesty falls this time?" Came to force the palace?"

"This king can't bear such a big crime!" The kind smile on Xian Wang's face slowly receded, "I heard that An Lan stayed in the palace recently, why didn't I see you on the day of prayer? Wait until His Majesty is stabbed and seriously injured , you suddenly appeared to handle political affairs on behalf of His Majesty! Your Majesty is not yet awake, even if you say that black is white, we have no way to verify it! Don't say that the king doesn't believe it, you go ask, who can believe that His Majesty will put government affairs The memorial will be handed over to you as a young master? Let everyone judge, who is this person who forced the palace to seize power?"

"This king is now worried about His Majesty's safety!"

After talking for a long time, the virtuous king finally revealed his purpose: "If you have a clear conscience, get out of the way. This king wants to go in with all your lords to visit your majesty!"

"Yes! We want to see His Majesty!"

"You get out of the way!"

Many people began to join in.

Seeing that Xie Anlan didn't move, someone pointed at him and shouted: "Rebellious officials and traitors! I will help His Majesty Qingjun to stabilize the court!"

"Side of Lord Qing! Side of Lord Qing!"

Everywhere in the palace gates, there were hidden sounds of fighting.

Seeing this, Xie Anlan sneered, and raised his hand suddenly, the long sword in the hall buzzed and landed on his hand from the air.

Standing above, he was dressed in red, his eyes were full of elegance, and the tip of his sword was pointing directly at the people below, overflowing with evil spirit, "I will kill anyone who dares to step forward!"

"Moving the sword in front of the emperor, you really are a traitor!" The Xian Wang lowered his face, "Xie Hou, this is your son!"

Xie Ruyuan struggled, then pulled out his sword and pointed at Xie Anlan: "Come here!"

In the past, father and son were in harmony with each other, but now they can only face each other with swords.

Up to now, Xie Anlan no longer concealed it, and said coldly: "Father, do you think that helping the virtuous king to seek power and usurp the throne, and overthrow the former emperor's country, can resolve the hatred in your heart? Can you be worthy of my dead mother?"

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"You helped the late emperor conquer the country and held most of the military power. Apart from you, who else can help the virtuous king control the imperial army? You yelled for a long time in the Ningxin Hall, but no one came to stop it. Do you really think I am confused?" Xie Anlan said slowly: "Your Majesty was assassinated. I didn't want to doubt you, but now it seems that it has nothing to do with you."

Xie Ruyuan shouted sharply: "Xie Anlan!"

"I'm not like you guys. I have to find all kinds of excuses for rebellion," Xie Anlan said sarcastically, "The King of Virtue is indeed powerful. After 20 years of planning, I'm afraid today will be the day!"

King Xian's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Xie Anlan didn't look at him anymore, but turned to Xie Ruyuan and said, "Father, I went to the imperial tomb a few days ago and found a few things there, I should let you see them."

When Xie Ruyuan heard "Imperial Tomb", his hands trembled unconsciously.

"Ji An, go and get the things out."

Ji An took the order to go in, and after a while, he came out holding a tray.

I saw three things on the tray.

When Xie Ruyuan saw it, he couldn't move his eyes away, and gradually, his whole body trembled.

Xie Anlan picked up the first one. It was a dilapidated incense burner. It was quite old, but it had been re-plated, "Father, this is the incense burner you used when you swore worship with the late emperor 20 years ago. The late emperor secretly let me People repaired it again, and placed it neatly in the imperial mausoleum."

Xie Ruyuan suddenly remembered the scene of two young men worshiping in the wilderness, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

At that time when Qi Lin ascended the throne, there were countless luxurious incense burners. He always thought that this was broken just like his sworn friendship with the late emperor.

Xie Anlan picked up the second one, which was an unopened letter, "Father, this is a letter that was pressed under the incense burner. I think the late emperor wanted to leave it to you before he died, but he didn't leave it in the end."

"My younger brother, Ruyuan personally—" Xie Anlan opened the letter and read word by word: "I feel that the end is approaching, and I suddenly recalled the situation when I was a young boy, and I was sworn in with my younger brother..."

"Give it to me!" Xie Ruyuan interrupted him suddenly, rushed forward, hissed: "Give me the letter! I want to see with my own eyes what he wrote!"

Xie Anlan's expression remained unchanged, he raised his hand and threw the letter over.

On the side, the virtuous king kept looking at the third object, his gaze uncertain - it was a scroll of imperial decree.

This reminded him of the imperial decree that he had burned.

Xie Ruyuan took the letter, looked at the writing on it almost hastily, looked, looked, tears came to his eyes suddenly, it was an expression of extreme resentment, ferocious and terrifying, "Impossible! Impossible! It was clearly him Harm to Wanwan! How could he turn black and white? Is the three-year confinement protecting me? A joke! A big joke!"

"No, it's you who can't see clearly," the Empress Dowager came slowly with the help of the maid, "Xie Hou, the Ai family didn't know that there was such a deep misunderstanding between you and the late emperor."

"Misunderstanding?" Xie Ruyuan, a big man, heard this, shook the letter in his hand, and almost wanted to cry, "Is it a misunderstanding to kill Wanwan? Is it a misunderstanding to accuse me of colluding with the barbarians? Is it a misunderstanding to imprison me for three years? The truth is out." In front of you, you dare to say that it was a misunderstanding!"

"The first emperor didn't kill your wife. She threw herself into a well to save you! You made a scene in the palace and committed a heinous crime. Everyone said you should be punished for your crime! The first emperor only imprisoned you for three years. What?" The queen mother closed her eyes, told Xie Ruyuan again what she had said to Gu Mingzheng before, and then shook her head and said: "The Ai family only now understands that someone obstructed it back then, so that the friendship between you young people disappeared overnight. !"

"You said someone was behind it?" Xie Ruyuan shook his head and sneered, and said in a hoarse voice: "Then before he died, what did he tell Qi Zhao to 'get rid of the Marquis of Pingguo'? He was afraid that I would overthrow his world, and he wanted me dead !"

The queen mother sighed.

At this time, Xie Anlan picked up the third thing, with a lingering sadness on his brows, "Father, do you know that the late emperor left a will before his death? He gave it to his most trusted younger brother—the King Xian, but unfortunately he didn’t know that the person who made things difficult for him and colluded with the barbarians and made you go wrong was his good brother King Xian!”

"Impossible!" Pointing at the imperial decree, the wise king said sharply, "How dare you forge the last emperor's decree? It's simply presumptuous!"

He personally burned the will, how could it appear again?

Xie Ruyuan could no longer hear the words of the virtuous king, he was shattered by the shock of one truth after another, and muttered: "What is written on it?"

Xie Anlan said softly: "No matter what the Marquis of Pingguo committed, he will not die."

Xie Ruyuan's knees softened, he knelt down on the ground, and suddenly laughed out loud, punching the ground with his fists until blood spattered from his fists, "The first emperor! Qi Lin! 16 years! 16 years!"

"Yeah, 20 years of brotherhood, 16 years of errands, and now life and death are separated, and there is no chance to explain each other." The queen mother's eyes were wet, and she couldn't help but shed tears. Your Majesty, I, Qi Lin, would like to become brothers of different surnames with Xie Ruyuan. From now on, we will share the blessings and hardships together, treat each other with sincerity, and never turn our backs. We don’t want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day. Xie Hou, in fact, the late emperor never You have broken the vows you made when you were young, but you trust the villain credulously, have prejudices, and never trust him."

"You know that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, but is your heart still the same as before?"

Xie Ruyuan froze there, like a madman, unable to speak a word.

King Xian clenched his fists tightly, but managed to maintain his composure: "This is just your one-sided opinion! Frame this king!"

Xie Anlan walked down the steps and put a sword on his neck, "King Xian, when you stand here, you have already lost everything."

"Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet! How dare you kill the current emperor's uncle? Who gave you the right?" The sage king had nowhere to hide and could only hope that the assassinated emperor would never wake up.

Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.

"The right I give.

Gu Mingzheng's voice came from the hall, although it was a little weak, it seemed to be able to calm people's hearts.

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Anlan lowered her eyes, her expression unchanged.

"The virtuous king colluded with the barbarians, committed chaos, and tried to force the palace to usurp the throne when I was unconscious, pass on my will, and put him in the prison to await trial!"

"You don't have evidence, why should you deal with me?"

"Evidence? The prime minister has handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment." Gu Mingzheng said calmly, "As for the rebels under your and Xie Hou's command, they will be dealt with by General Meng. Uncle Huang can stay in prison with peace of mind."

Before the Qi'an Festival, he received a letter from Meng Ting, and he had already started to deploy. The assassination on the Qi'an Festival was done on purpose. Du Bocheng and Meng Lingqiu were also pawns that he had already arranged.As long as King Xian or Xie Hou makes a move, one will take advantage of the chaos and enter the mansion to collect evidence, and the other will gather the troops of Chang'an City with a soldier talisman to fight against the rebels.

The virtuous king led the people to make a fuss in Ning Xin Hall.

The gunpowder outside the palace should almost stop.

Sure enough, Meng Lingqiu led the way on a horse and barged in in military uniform: "I am late to save you, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"You! You! What a new emperor who has just ascended the throne, but this king has underestimated you! Do you really think you can do everything? You put down the chaos today with iron and blood, reduce your troops, and the barbarians will send troops to Chang'an in the future. Look at you! How to sit firmly on the throne!"

Seeing that the general situation was over, King Xian bumped his head on the stone pillar beside him, blood spattered on the spot!

Beads of blood splashed onto Xie Ruyuan's face, Xie Ruyuan seemed to wake up suddenly, jumped up and snatched a horse, and quickly left the palace.

"Sister Lingqiu, lend me the horse!" Seeing this, Xie Anlan immediately ran after her.

"An Lan!" Gu Mingzheng walked to the door forcefully, frowning, since he woke up, he hadn't spoken a word to Xie Anlan, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and quickly ordered: "Come on, prepare the horse! "

He was going to chase An Lan.
