The prince was imprisoned, and the queen was also thrown into the cold palace.In the blink of an eye, the entire capital city has changed, and the little people struggling to survive in the gaps have all minimized their sense of existence to avoid suffering unreasonable disasters.

Li Di still lives in □□, in addition to attending to the funeral ceremony of Emperor Yun, discussing with some important government officials and ministers, and dealing with the case of the crown prince, he is much busier than before, and he can only accompany Shen Chu every night, so he can't help but feel that He was very distressed, and thought that being an emperor is not as comfortable as being an idle prince, if being a prince does not have the risk of losing his head.

Shen Chu's childbirth period is coming soon, and now she is detained at home and can't go anywhere.King Yun put all his heart into taking care of Shen Chu, as if the vicissitudes of the government and the wild had nothing to do with him.

Only when I occasionally thought that it will be the end of the year again in a blink of an eye, I couldn't help but sigh again.

On this day, the Empress Dowager summoned Li Di to the Longevity Palace, and after a few words of concern about Shen Chu's body and the child in her stomach, she still couldn't help asking, "Xiao Wu, what are you going to do with the crown prince?"

Li Di lowered his brows and eyes, not showing his likes or dislikes, and said in a low voice, "If I were in the position of the prince, he might not spare me."

Queen Mother: "Sure enough, Aijia still can't understand you, why do you always make trouble so that either you die or I die?"

"Probably getting older, it's always easy to soften your heart. Looking at Zai Zai recently, I can't help but think of you when you were young, you were all small and soft balls, and you grew up so much in a blink of an eye, and you are already married and have children. But you, They are not as cute as Zai Zai, nor are they as sweet-mouthed as Zai Zai, all of them either pretend to be serious all day long, or have a stern face."

"Hey, Aijia really can't bear it—"

Li Di couldn't help but feel a little moved.If there is anyone in the palace who treats him better, there is no one else except the Queen Mother.He couldn't ignore the empress dowager's obvious pleading for the prince.

In the past few days, Shen Chu also hinted at him that he wanted him to save the prince's life, but he probably felt that his thinking was too naive, and finally let him make up his own mind.

Empress Dowager: "Chang Le and the Crown Princess have been kneeling in front of the Ai Family Hall for a long time, and even brought the second child's child to the Ai Family's house to have a look. They are carved in pink and jade, so cute."

"At Aijia's age, living one more day is a gift from God. I only want to chant scriptures in front of the Buddha, so I don't want to take care of your affairs."

Li Di: "It's the grandson's unfilial piety that made the imperial grandmother worry."

The queen mother waved her hand wearily, "Forget it, you go back, I hope you can still save the prince's life."

Sitting in the carriage leaving the palace, Li Di recalled what Shen Chu had said softly to him while leaning in his arms, "At the beginning, Emperor Yun wanted to kill all of them because he was afraid of the power of Duke Ning's mansion."

"Are you afraid?"

"It doesn't matter if you say I'm a woman, or I'm naive, but if you are pregnant with a child, you have to be soft-hearted. Probably only mothers know how difficult it is for a little life to come into this world, and how difficult it is to be born into this world. It’s not easy to grow so big.”

"The little grandson is so innocent, when he grows up, do you want to plant the seeds of hatred?"

At that time, he looked puzzled, "If Father knew that you were still alive, he would definitely not keep you."

As a result, the man immediately became angry, pushed him aside, and did not speak to him for a long time.

After a long time, he said to the green bamboo outside the carriage, "Go to prison."

When we arrived at the door, snow fell in the night sky again, and the air became bitter.

The cell of the edict prison is located underground, the passage is long and dark, and there are oil lamps hanging on the wall, flickering yellowish lights.

Li Di brought a jug of wine and two wine glasses, asked the jailer to open the cell door, sat on the floor opposite the prince, and poured a glass of wine with the two of them.

The prince raised his eyelids, and gave him a look of neither joy nor sadness, "Did the King of Qin come here specially to see the jokes in this palace? Oh, no, probably we shouldn't be called King Qin now, should we be called Your Majesty?"

Li Di didn't mind too much, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine first, stared into the Prince's eyes and said, "If I were in your position now, Brother Huang would not spare me, would he?"

The prince snorted coldly, "What is there to say about success and defeat? It's all here. Whether it's killing or cutting, it's up to you."

Li Di said with a half-smile, "Oh?! Brother Huang doesn't even care about the safety of his wife and nephew?"

The prince's eyes flickered for a moment, and his expression returned to calmness in an instant, "Since you have entered the imperial gate, life and death are not up to you, and this is their fate."

Li Di couldn't help sighing in his heart, thinking that his imperial brother is really cruel, if it was Shen Chu and Zai Zai, he would definitely not be able to part with him.

"What about Mr. Shen?"

There was a crack in the prince's expression, and he didn't hold back for a long time. A sinister light flashed in his eyes, "What does this matter have to do with Xiaozhuang? King Qin shouldn't do too much."

Li Di didn't speak, and handed the wine glass to the prince.

The prince's eyes trembled violently, as if he thought it was poisoned wine, but he hesitated for a moment, took the glass and drank it straight away.

Li Di laughed lightly, shook his head without saying a word, and poured another glass with the two of them.

The two of them didn't say any more, the window near the top of the wall revealed a faint blue night, and the howling wind outside the window made the room even more quiet.

When the jug of wine was finished, Li Di got up and brushed his clothes, smashed the jug into the passage, and left in the dark.

The prince turned his back to the prison gate, and did not look at him again.

Soon, the prince fell to the ground with calm eyes.

······

The next day, the news of the prince's sudden death in prison shocked the government and the public, but those who felt dissatisfied could not protect themselves, and no one dared to speak out.

Soon, everyone related to the prince was dealt with.Queen Wang was imprisoned in the cold palace. Princess Changle was deprived of her title of princess, but her mansion and monthly salary were still kept. The royal family and the Duke of Anguo were also deprived of their title.

All of a sudden, the Wang family fell apart, and even the Ningyuan Hou Mansion couldn't please. The Yang family, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had already withdrawn their daughter's marriage with Shen Zhuang.

When everyone in the Ningyuan Hou Mansion was in danger, there was news that Shen Zhuang had become a monk. The people in the capital thought of the love affair between the crown prince and Shen Zhuang in the past, and couldn't help being quite emotional for a moment. It is normal to have disillusioned thoughts after being divorced again.

In fact, the people are quite sympathetic to the prince's experience. After all, most people's thoughts are very simple, and in their view, there is no big mistake. It is just because of the struggle for imperial power that such a handsome person just disappeared. It is easy to let people live Out of emotion.

Of course, this is also because the court did not make it public that the first emperor was poisoned to death by the crown prince and the queen. Although there are rumors, there are believers and unbelievers. It is also true that those who are willing to believe will believe it, and those who do not want to believe will not believe it.

For most people, it is unacceptable for the prince who has always been respectful and modest to do such a rebellious thing, which really hurts their simple feelings, and no one will put the evidence in front of them, so they choose not to believe it.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve, and Emperor Yun was also buried in the mausoleum he had built before his death.Li Di didn't hold the funeral very grandly. Firstly, he didn't die at the end of his life. Then he dealt with the prince's lineage.

Of course, because Emperor Yun had dealt with Duke Ning's mansion back then, both King Yun and Shen Chu had complicated perceptions of him.

Even with the New Year's Eve, it was much more deserted than usual. After the New Year's Eve, a group of officials were called to have a banquet, and then they went back to their respective homes.

This year, there is no preparation for a grand exorcism ceremony like in previous years.

There are only a few people in the family banquet in the palace, not much more than ordinary people's homes, and even less than some noble families with relatively large families.

Only children like Zai Zai, who don't understand anything, are still as happy as in previous years, growing another year amidst the sound of firecrackers.

······

In the meditation room at the back of Xishan Temple, a monk with delicate features is chanting sutras softly to the niche on the wall.

On a simple bed against the wall, lay a comatose man.

Soon, there was movement on the bed, the monk paused, as if disturbing the Buddha's heart, he couldn't help looking at the person on the bed.

The man on the bed woke up, struggled to get up, rubbed his forehead, and felt a splitting headache. When he saw the appearance of the monk who was chanting sutras, he couldn't help being surprised, "Xiao Zhuang?! You, why are you here?!"

"You, how did you become a monk?"

The monk bowed his head slightly, and said softly, "The poor monk's name is no mirror, and there is no Shen Zhuang that the benefactor mentioned here."

The man on the bed got out of bed excitedly, knelt in front of him and supported his shoulders, "What's going on?!"

He looked around and said in a trance. "Obviously I was in prison and drank the poisonous wine Li Di sent me, so how could I appear here?"

The monk had no desire to explain, but said indifferently, "The benefactor is just a dumb slave next to the poor monk, and the others are just reversed dreams."

After speaking, he ignored him and began to chant scriptures softly.

The man or Li Jing sat beside him, in a daze for a long time, and couldn't help covering his face with his hands and laughing like crazy, "Reversing the dream? Ha, haha, I didn't expect Li Di, an unfamiliar wolf, to be soft-hearted— —”

"It's not bad to be a dumb slave by Xiaozhuang's side for the rest of my life."

At dawn, the monk woke up the sleeping Li Jing, and said coldly, "The capital is a place of right and wrong. The poor monk has bid farewell to Master, and today he will leave the temple to travel around the world."

As he spoke, he only brought a string of Buddhist beads, a bowl, and a bamboo hat, leaving only one figure behind.

Li Jing hurriedly followed, even more carefree.

In the vastness of the world, there were only two figures left.

The monk couldn't help but think of what his master said to him, that his destiny in the world is not over, and the world of mortals is hard to break.But so what.

······

Not long after, there were rumors in the world that he had seen a good-looking monk with a dumb slave who looked like a prince.

However, the world is just a joke.
