Aggrieved Fish Sprite

The prince soon found that there seemed to be something hard in the third prince's sleeve.

Not long, with a little curvature, tightly attached to the inside of the elbow.

This position is—a dagger?

The prince's expression changed slightly, he was not surprised that the third prince was hiding near the bedroom, and it was reasonable to carry a dagger as a self-defense, but the third prince instinctively crossed his arms, and his movements were very unnatural.

This kind of self-defense weapon usually sews a small pocket on the underwear, which is tightly tied with a belt, and it is absolutely impossible to hold the arm between the arms to prevent the dagger from falling out like the third prince.

Is the strap broken?

Still didn't stuff the dagger completely into the pocket?

The prince looked at his younger brother and said nothing.

The third prince was still puzzled at first, but then he slowly came to his senses, his face flushed instantly, and he stabbed with his left hand in panic.Went into the right sleeve, held the dagger tremblingly and said: "No, Big Brother!"

With a sharp weapon in his body, he rushed over and hugged the prince's leg. Didn't he intend to assassinate him with malicious intentions?

"Really, in fact, my younger brother is..."

"Kingkiller?"

The prince's voice was so low that only the third prince could hear it.The latter's face turned from red to white. He wanted to defend himself, but because of his clumsy tongue, he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Confused." The prince said with downcast eyes.

The third prince's stiff body shook slightly.

"Lu Xi! You want to kill the emperor for Gu, and bear the name of regicide yourself?"

The third prince said with difficulty: "No, brother...just want to kill people."

"What about after the killing? You came alone to force the palace, but your father was assassinated to death. Do you know what it looks like when it spreads?" The prince sighed, rubbed his forehead and said to his younger brother, "You put this matter in your head Go through it once, and then tell Gu."

The emperor was seriously ill, and the officials tried to support the third prince to ascend the throne. The prince suddenly launched an attack and bombarded the Forbidden Palace, broke into the Wanhe Hall, and captured the ministers and ministers from the Wenyuan Pavilion.Immediately after the third prince assassinated the emperor, the emperor died, and the prince ascended the throne with a kind heart. He forgave the younger brother who had committed a serious crime, and took good care of the younger brother who was imprisoned.

This - really is a very standard rhetoric for coercing the palace, and others will know it is false as soon as they hear it.

The emperor must have been killed by the crown prince. The unlucky third prince was charged with regicide, and he has no chance of being on the throne ever since.It is even hard to say whether the sinner Lu Xi who was put under house arrest is the third prince himself, maybe the third prince died as early as the night when he was forced into the palace... The prince is really cruel, this is killing his father and younger brother!

The more the third prince thought about it, the more frightened he became, his body was on the verge of falling.

"My brother is wrong, I dare not." The third prince finally understood that if he went to kill Lu Zhang, it would be tantamount to pouring dirty water on his elder brother, or the kind that would not be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River. crime!

He hurriedly put away the dagger.

"Chen brother, let's go!"

The third prince quickly got up from the ground, wishing he could leave the bedroom immediately and return the prince's innocence.

"Stand still." The prince stopped immediately.

At present, the imperial guards in the palace have not been completely eliminated, and all the ministers have their own thoughts.

The third child is the most troublesome one among the younger brothers. Although the second child likes to cause trouble, he dares to take responsibility. The sixth child has a weird temper, but has a flexible mind.

The third prince, Lu Xun, belongs to the kind of person who wants nothing but has shortcomings everywhere.

Lu Xun's only advantage is his cowardly and incompetent appearance, which is extremely deceptive.

But during the palace change, the unlucky ones might be killed by the rebels in a daze. Although the prince felt that he had completely controlled the power, he still didn't dare to let the third child take this risk.

"Where are you going?"

"I... my brother saw Meng Guoshi before. Brother Da Huang praised him a lot on weekdays. He also came to the palace before, and he was with the second child." Lu Xun's eyes flickered, and he looked like he was asking for credit.

The prince frowned slightly, and corrected: "He is your second brother."

"Yes, the second brother looks very familiar with them."

"They?" The prince thought of the doctor.

"Yes, there is another friend who is said to be Meng Qi." The third prince hesitated to speak, and said in a low voice, "I think the relationship between them is very unusual. His friend started it."

"..."

The prince was angry and funny, even though he knew more than the third prince, but the other side eagerly handed over the news, he still didn't have the heart to say that the doctor was more important than Meng Qi, after all, he could save lives.

"What you said, Gu knows it well." The prince patted his younger brother on the shoulder, motioning him to step aside.

The third prince was satisfied when he heard the words, and he didn't care about Mr. Chen's disgusting gaze.

Director Chen felt that none of the master's younger brothers could worry, let alone share the prince's worries.

What the crown prince and the third prince said was only heard by Mr. Chen who was the closest, while all the ministers had unbelievable expressions on their faces, almost suspecting that the crown prince had given Lu Xun some ecstasy.

This is a battle for the throne!

After being treated by the imperial physicians, Lu Zhang barely recovered his breath, but he couldn't walk and his hands were trembling uncontrollably. His eyes were wide open, and he stared at the third prince.

"Your Majesty, don't get angry anymore, or you will hurt your internal organs and lose your temper..."

The imperial physician reminded tremblingly, while speaking, he couldn't help looking at the prince.

Meng Qi, who jumped onto the beam while he was in a hurry, couldn't help shaking his head when he heard these words.Although Lu Zhang's aura was messy, the situation was not serious. If a master insider took action, even if he couldn't get rid of the chaotic spirit, at least he could make Lu Zhang's activities go on as usual.

Death is an exaggeration.

The Imperial Physician Association said this, in fact, to give the prince a reason for the emperor's death.

——The second prince colluded with the gangsters in the rivers and lakes to raise troops to rebel, the emperor fell ill in anger, and the third prince was useless. Taijing was sealed off for several days and the situation was still chaotic, so the prince went to the palace to eliminate the rebels. Unexpectedly, the emperor was too sick to be cured , the prince was ordered to inherit the great line when he was in danger, how justifiable!

"Envoy Li, don't be fooled by your cleverness." Chen Cai narrowed his eyes and threatened sinisterly.

The envoys of the Imperial Hospital did not dare to answer, but some of the courtiers said angrily, "How presumptuous is the vertical eunuch?"

Director Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a smirk: "Could it be that Jiang Zhengshi didn't hear the meaning behind Li Yuanshi's words?"

As soon as the words came out, the people who hadn't reacted just now thought about it carefully, and their expressions changed abruptly.

Lu Zhang couldn't wait to kill the imperial doctor with his eyes.

Doctor Li's face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty knows clearly that I have been wronged, and I am really worried about your majesty's dragon body. This pulse is very clear, it is indeed..."

Before he finished speaking, he was frightened by Lu Zhang's red eyes.

"Let Gu see Father Emperor." The prince said calmly.

"Your Highness!"

"Brother Emperor!"

Many people blocked it with one voice.

Although Lu Zhang is old and sick, but Yu Wei is still there. The third prince Chen Zongguan and all the Jinyi guards are not in favor of the prince approaching the risk.Who knows if there are any servants around Lu Zhang who will suddenly become violent?

Mr. Chen doesn't care about his family, others can't tell.

The prince was very calm, which made Meng Qi's evaluation of him a little higher.

Because not only the anxious third prince and others were held down by the prince's eyes, even the raccoon slave who was struggling to escape before lay down lazily and surrendered to the prince's hands.

Meng Qi: "..."

That's great!

The prince stood up slowly, then coughed twice, his face turned pale.

Although it looks a little bad, compared to an emperor who is suspected of having a stroke, the crown prince is nothing like this.

But those imperial physicians looked at each other in blank dismay, because pulse records were often fabricated, so not every imperial physician knew the whole story of the prince's illness, but some of them had been to the East Palace to treat the prince, and according to the prince's condition at that time, he could live to this day It's very surprising, but now he can stand in front of everyone alive?

Doctor Li's expression changed back and forth, and finally he seemed to have made up his mind, jumped up and said loudly: "He is not His Royal Highness, His Highness has long been terminally ill, and it is difficult to even speak. This person is a fake!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked, and at this moment, a thunder flashed outside, "Boom!"

The thunder made the palace people tremble, their eyes frightened.

The courtiers looked puzzled and looked at the prince.

Chen Cai and Jin Yiwei next to him were taken aback for a moment, and then showed angry expressions, but neither of them was as quick.

"nonsense!"

The third prince burst into rage, and in front of everyone's shocked eyes, he swooped like a leopard, grabbed Li Taiyi's lapel, and shook it ferociously.

"Little man! Talking nonsense! If you find that you can't please the eldest brother, change your slander!"

Doctor Li struggled desperately, their cries startled Ahu the civet cat, who let out an annoyed cry.

After all, the prince was physically weak and his arms were weak, so he was thrown out by Ah Hu.

"Meow!"

The raccoon slave scratched Li Taiyi's skirt with one paw, and the third prince was stepped on by it, and instinctively let go.

Doctor Li crawled closer to the bed. In fact, he wanted to find the chief ministers, but the imperial guards separated these people, and the doctor was placed on the other side of the palace, so he couldn't get close at all.

"It's impossible for a real prince to..."

"Envoy Li Yuan, that's not what you said when you came to the East Palace that day." The crown prince took a breather and said kindly, "You said that Gu is just a minor illness, a cough caused by the cold winter, as long as you take good care of it, spring will It will get better after getting warmer. The same is true of the pulse case, why is it now an incurable disease?"

Doctor Li hesitated, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty ordered us not to tell the prince's illness and make the prince worry. That's not how the pulse case was written. The words of Zhang Xiang and Jiang Xiang are true. If you don't believe me, you can go to the empress doc Hospital check."

Mr. Chen also reacted, and he immediately questioned: "Illnesses have their ins and outs. Since last autumn, His Highness has been sick. The pulse cases given by the Imperial Hospital are nothing serious. His Majesty is worried about those who dare to ask before, so Order you to fake it?"

Doctor Li was tongue-tied.

Because all the pulse cases were faked, when it was discovered that the prince was critically ill, in order to cover up the previous mistakes in diagnosis and treatment, it was necessary to modify it.If you check carefully, you will find that the prince's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse, and he became critically ill without warning. However, the archives of the Tai Hospital are mostly vague and cannot convince people at all.

"This, unless the prince is willing to let the minister take his pulse... The prince is weak and sick, and the minister has been ordered to the East Palace for treatment for many years. This pulse cannot be faked."

The prince didn't answer, just looked at him coldly.

The third prince's hands were tucked into his sleeves, and he was staring at Doctor Li with murderous intent, but he knew that this person could not be killed, otherwise he would be suspected of murdering to silence his mouth and making guesses.

At this time, Lu Zhang made a vague sound in his throat. He looked at the two sons, as if he was laughing at them for trying their best, but an imperial doctor disrupted the good situation.

The prince closed his eyes, and with the support of Mr. Chen, he walked up to the third prince. He said to the courtiers in a deep voice, "A few days ago, the lonely second brother tried to assassinate His Majesty, and today he raised his troops to occupy the imperial city. All the ministers must be puzzled in their hearts, why did the father and son of the Tian family come to this."

Prime Minister Zhang sneered, and some people disagreed.

For the sake of the throne, the father and son of the Tian family are not like father and son!

"After Gu ascended the throne, historians don't need to use the spring and autumn style of writing, but can directly write about my crimes - usurping the throne and killing the king!"

The last four words were spoken extremely coldly, everyone was stunned, the third prince took a step forward but looked confused and at a loss.

Lu Zhang struggled violently, but he could only make a little noise from the bed board.

"Killing the king and killing the father is a serious crime that cannot be forgiven." The prince continued calmly, "Mr. Jiang, a husband killed his own son and caused his wife to die in depression. What should a son of man do?"

Prime Minister Jiang was shocked, and other courtiers also showed doubts.

Everyone knows that Empress Ning died early.

The four princes, five princes, and two princesses in the palace died early, which seemed to be after the death of Empress Ning.The prince's words were out of his mind, completely wrong.

"Brother Emperor..." Lu Xun cried out anxiously.

It is very common for a child to die early these days, and the archives of the imperial hospital are not reliable at all. The crown prince's words are groundless and will be bitten back by the imperial physician Li. How can the third prince not be in a hurry?

Only Lu Zhang's expression changed suddenly.

"About 20 years ago, the orphaned empress... no, at that time she was only Madam Lu, the first wife of a general who was deeply trusted by Emperor Chu Ling. She already had an eldest son, and she was going to give birth to her second in that autumn My child, I stayed in the jade gauze cupboard behind the main room, and fell asleep while waiting. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden commotion outside. I rushed into the wing room where my mother was waiting to give birth, and just in time I saw a person picking up the swaddling clothes and throwing them hard. on the ground."

There was a dead silence in the bedroom.

The prince looked at Lu Zhang, and slowly said under the latter's frightened and angry eyes: "Your Majesty probably doesn't remember, after all, he was just a child who cried out in fright, and was soon hugged by his servants. He is less than three years old. What to know? But I will always remember it!"

Mrs. Lu was ill for several years, and although she finally became a queen, she died early.

And the person who becomes the prince will subconsciously keep a close eye on his younger brother.

When Lu Min was born, Lu Zhang hadn't ascended the throne yet. Even if he was a child from a concubine's room, every time Lu Jie saw his infant brother, he would dream of the blood-stained infant at night.

"My mother gave birth to a stillborn baby. My mother injured her body. My father married many concubines, all of whom were daughters of the courtiers." The prince deliberately turned the matter around. He looked at Lu Zhang and asked expressionlessly, "Since then After that, did the father ever enter my mother's house? Did he ever enter the queen's palace? She was not buried in the imperial tomb at all. If the father didn't pay attention to face, the mother would not even have a posthumous title. "

The more furious Lu Zhang was, the more unable to speak.

He wanted to say that Ning's birth was a monster!

Who wants to look more at a woman who gave birth to an evildoer?Being able to make her a queen is already giving the Ning family a lot of face!He is benevolent and righteous, so what should he do?

However, when Lu Zhang saw the different expressions of the courtiers, he suddenly came to his senses.

——How can you say something about a monster?His son is a monster?What is he then?

It can only be that the Ning family does not abide by women's morals.Rape!

Lu Zhang didn't care about wearing a cuckold anymore, he trembled his hands, and trembling his lips desperately, Doctor Li immediately moved closer to the bed, and heard Lu Zhang say a few words vaguely.

Doctor Li was speechless, Empress Ning stole someone?If he said this, would he really be courting death?

Imperial Physician Li pulled one of the servants over, and shouted: "Listen to what Your Majesty said?"

There are no fools in the palace servants who served the emperor. Seeing the reaction of Li Taiyi, and listening carefully, his hands and feet immediately went numb, and hurriedly kowtowed: "I really can't hear clearly!"

Doctor Li stared, and grabbed another servant.

So Lu Zhang said desperately, but the palace people shook their heads, crying and saying they couldn't understand.

Prime Minister Zhang wanted to go forward, but Jin Yiwei stopped him mercilessly.

Prime Minister Jiang collected himself, and asked loudly, "Does His Royal Highness have evidence?"

The crown prince nodded, and said firmly: "The queen mother was born in the Ning family in northern Xinjiang. After the Chu Dynasty, she was transferred to the southwestern border to guard. Back then, there were loyal servants of the Ning family in the Lu family. They took the baby with all their might. In fact, the baby was big It's hard to die, and since then has been fostered by the Ning family in a temple near the border town, and has disappeared since becoming an adult. Gu finally found that temple four years ago, but it was a step too late."

When Prime Minister Zhang heard the word Ning's family, his expression suddenly changed.

The third prince looked blankly at the prince, then at Lu Zhang, and said dumbly: "So... I am not the third prince, I should be number four, and the elder brother also has a brother with the same father and mother?"

"These are all His Highness's one-sided remarks. Even if the Ning family testifies, it can't explain anything." Prime Minister Zhang said sharply.

After talking so much, the crown prince almost couldn't bear it any longer. He lowered his eyes tiredly and said: "Mr. Zhang misunderstood."

Manager Chen helped the prince into the sedan chair, turned his head and went to catch the cat again.

Maybe it was because he caught a lot in the East Palace in the past, so he easily drove Ah Hu into the sedan chair.

At this moment, the crown prince breathed a sigh of relief, coughed twice and then said in a deep voice: "These words are for the father to listen to alone, come here...do it!"

Those Jin Yiwei standing next to the sedan chair suddenly drew their swords, and pushed the palace servants and the imperial physician aside in two or three strokes. Under Lu Zhang's terrified and furious eyes, they slashed at random.

Blood splattered.

While the sedan chair curtain was falling slowly, the prince's eyes were neither happy nor sad, and he ordered everyone without any emotion: "Purify the inner city, take the lonely hand order, and invite Liu Dan, the general of the bandits, to enter the palace."
