Since ancient times, the Tian family has no father and son, and brothers are less close.

It's just that even if you don't care about family affairs, once people in ordinary people's families get involved with power and money, it's hard to guarantee that they won't fight for each other.

The Eighth Prince was in the royal family of the Great Xiao, his mother was Concubine Li and Princess Daliao; his father was Emperor Yunhong, the master of the Great Xiao; He is a nobleman in the sky, with inexhaustible glory and wealth.

So did he.

It's just that most of the time, he would rather have an ordinary life, don't be a prince, just be an ordinary person is enough.

However, no one can refuse the identity arranged by Yun.

The Eighth Prince also comforted himself from time to time, his father didn't like him, but his mother and concubine loved him very much; there were many brothers who wanted to kill him, but he also had brothers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

How can everything go well in life?

So every year, he will pray, not asking for a better future, just wishing that it will never be worse than the present is enough.

And accompanying each other for so many years, the Eighth Prince firmly believed that neither he nor the Seventh Prince would ever hurt Xiao Jining for the sake of the throne.

Even when he got to the Hall of Picking Stars and saw the Seventh Prince injured and kneeling on the ground, he still didn't change his belief, but he just stood far behind the imperial guards and didn't step forward.

The person who stepped forward was Jing Yuan.

His face was expressionless, and the blood around him was strong and gloomy, which could be smelled from a distance and made people shy away.

But after he walked in front of Xiao Jining, he bent his right knee and knelt directly in front of Xiao Jining, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "This minister has lived up to the entrustment of the Holy One, and has taken down the rebellious minister Jingyue, and has now sent someone to escort him back to the capital , Waiting for His Majesty's order."

Jingyuan's return proved that the Jingyue mutiny failed. Although the four, five or six princes didn't like Jingyuan, they didn't want Jingyue to attack Li Xinggong and kill all of them.

It's just that before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Concubine Zhen's next words made their hearts hang again.

Concubine Zhen said to Jing Yuan: "Jing Yuan, you promised me."

On Yugui Island, even Xiao Jining was kneeling, but the slender Concubine Zhen stood upright, refusing to bend down her arrogance.She is not old, years of pampering and pampering and Emperor Yun Hong's love make her look soft and beautiful even after thirty years, but what she said is shocking because of her cruelty: "If you kill Xiao Jining, I will give it to you." Antidote."

So as soon as Concubine Zhen finished speaking, the Seventh Prince raised his head in disbelief and stared blankly at her.

"Mother Concubine..." The Seventh Prince murmured, "It's already like this, are you still unwilling to let Ninth Brother go?"

"Ninth brother and ninth brother, what kind of younger brother is he?" Concubine Zhen didn't want to hear more from the Seventh Prince, "I gave birth to you! He was born to that bastard, he is not your younger brother!"

"If it wasn't for him, how could you and I end up like this? If it wasn't for him, you would be the one sitting on the throne today!"

Listening to Concubine Zhen's words, Xiao Jining slowly stood up from the ground.

Concubine Zhen looked at the dragon robe on his body, pulled her lips into a smile, pointed at Xiao Jining with trembling fingers and said, "Why is it him?"

"Why did your father serve you so wholeheartedly, telling you the secrets of Li Xinggong, leaving you the forbidden soldier talisman, and leaving you the Xie Huangen antidote that restrained the Jing family? He is all for you to sit in that position, you should be The emperor, not Xiao Jining, this trash!"

She staggered to the Seventh Prince, her face full of tears: "Mother Concubine knows that you are soft-hearted and you can't do anything, so I have arranged everything for you. I ordered the imperial army not to leave the capital. If Jingyue breaks through Li Xinggong, Then you can lead the imperial army to encircle Lishan, if Jingyue is defeated, Jingyuan will also kill Xiao Jining for you, this throne belongs to you anyway..."

"But why did you come to Mount Li! And why did you save Xiao Jining!"

"You know that you saved him, and he won't let you go. If you save him, we are the ones who will die today!"

The Seventh Prince raised his head and stared blankly at Concubine Zhen. After a long time, he laughed at himself: "You only want me to sit in that seat, so have you ever asked me...ask me if I want that seat?"

"Is that position really mine?"

The voice of the Seventh Prince was also getting louder, and he roared with red eyes: "If it weren't for me, the person sitting on the throne today should be the elder brother. He is the crown prince! He is the crown prince!"

"If it wasn't for the royal father favoring me, Brother Dahuang wouldn't have died! I forced him to death!"

Concubine Zhen suffocated when she heard the words—yes, if it wasn't for her appearance, the prince born by Concubine Chen should be a legitimate prince. It was her appearance that forced Concubine Chen to death, and later her son, indirectly The prince was forced to death.

"I don't know if I will die if I saved my ninth brother today, but I know I won't regret it." The seventh prince lowered his head, not wanting to look at Princess Zhen anymore, he smiled foolishly, "Tell me, Jiu Brother, he asked me to leave the capital because he was afraid that my presence in the capital would destabilize his throne, but if I had to choose, I would just want to be like Brother San Huang, and I would never set foot in the capital again in this lifetime."

"What about me?" Concubine Zhen finally knelt down. She knelt down in front of the Seventh Prince, "You are worthy of your elder brother, your ninth brother, and you are worthy of me? you."

"I'm all for you..."

Concubine Zhen is the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, and her kneeling almost drove the Seventh Prince to a dead end.

But the Seventh Prince still refused to let go. He bowed deeply to Concubine Zhen, and after kowtowing, he fell on the ground and refused to get up.

Concubine Zhen burst into tears, even her lips were trembling, but she refused to change her words and shouted at Jing Yuan: "Jing Yuan, what are you waiting for! Kill Xiao Jining quickly!"

Hearing this, Jing Yuan slowly raised his eyelids, and his eyes fell on Xiao Jining who was standing not far in front of him.

Some people present couldn't understand what they were talking about at all. For example, the Eighth Prince, when he saw this, he immediately pushed aside the imperial guards, walked up to them and asked in confusion, "The antidote? What antidote?"

Jing Yuan opened his mouth and explained to the Eighth Prince in a low voice: "In order to control the Jing family, the late emperor once ordered people to develop a poison called 'Xie Huang En'. All the Jing family members are poisoned by this poison."

"And these secrets, only those who ascend to the throne of God will know."

Speaking of this, Jing Yuan's eyes turned to the Seventh Prince, but the Seventh Prince did not look up.

Jing Yuan smiled and said: "The Seventh Prince knew this secret before he ascended the throne, and Xie Huangen's antidote is not in the emperor's private treasury, but in the hands of Concubine Zhen. It seems that the late emperor really favored the Seventh Prince. Ruthless. If Jingyue treats me as well as Emperor Yunhong, how can he and I have today's battle?"

The Eighth Prince froze in place when he heard Jing Yuan's words.

No wonder...

No wonder there is no one in the Jing family clan, no wonder Jing Yuan and Jing Yue are father and son, but they are more like eternal enemies. Neither the second prince nor the subsequent fourth prince had ever been afraid of the Jing family, so the real reason was this.

If he was an ordinary person who was used by his father in this way, and was threatened with poison by the royal family for many years, I am afraid that this person would hate his father and the royal family very much.

But Jing Yuan didn't shy away from the matter of his being poisoned, and he was able to tell it in a brisk tone, as if talking and laughing. Everyone looked at the smile on his face and felt horrified all over their bodies, making people shudder.

"Hahaha!" Concubine Zhen looked up to the sky and smiled, "You picked yourself up completely, why don't you tell me how your Jing family got this poison."

"Indeed, I'm ashamed to say it—" Jing Yuan's lips deepened into a smile, and he said, "This poison was not given by Emperor Yunhong himself, but a reward Jingyue asked for glory from Emperor Yunhong. Jing's blood is thin It's not because of Xie Huang'en, it's because Jingyue personally killed all the Jing clan members of his lineage in order to dispel Emperor Yunhong's worries about his private possession of Jing's blood."

"That's right, since this poison was requested by your Jing family, it has nothing to do with the royal family." Concubine Zhen urged Jing Yuan, "As long as you kill Xiao Jining today, I will give you the antidote and set you free. Jingyuan no longer needs to be shackled by the royal family."

"Freedom?" Jing Yuan put these two words between his lips and teeth and savored them carefully.

Concubine Zhen said: "Yes, this is something that Xiao Jining cannot give you."

Jing Yuan gradually suppressed the smile on his face, then raised his hand to hold the saber at his waist, and slowly drew it out.

The Seventh Prince couldn't help opening his eyes wide when he heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed, and immediately got up and said, "No—!"

"General Jing, my mother and concubine do not have the antidote. The antidote is in my hands. I will give you the antidote." The Seventh Prince took out a small blue cloth-like brocade bag from his waist, walked quickly to Jing Yuan and said , stopped him and said, "Please don't hurt my ninth brother."

Although the Seventh Prince didn't open the brocade bag, Concubine Zhen's expression changed suddenly when she saw the brocade bag, and she looked at the Seventh Prince in shock, as if she didn't know when the Seventh Prince got the antidote, even though She quickly adjusted her expression, but her performance just now was enough to prove that what the Seventh Prince said was [-]% likely to be the truth.

The small blue brocade bag in his hand contained the antidote for Xie Huangen.

The Seventh Prince was seriously injured by the assassin just now, and the wound on his shoulder was torn deeper due to the sudden violent movement of getting up, and blood slowly spilled out.

Jing Yuan's sword was unsheathed, but he still stood there without moving.

Seeing that he was unmoved, the Seventh Prince thought that he didn't believe what he said, so he gritted his teeth and said, "The day you first arrived at Li Xing Palace, the 'Wild Wolf' who appeared beside the hot spring in the Hall of Picking Stars was me."

"General Jing..." The Seventh Prince almost burst into tears, "You know, you met me that day, and I am not lying. This is indeed the antidote for Xie Huangen."

"So that's how it is." Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows, retracted his sword into its scabbard, and scoffed, "I said why does the figure of 'Wild Wolf' look familiar, so it's you, the Seventh Prince."

"Nizi!" Concubine Zhen rushed forward after hearing the words, and slapped him hard, "You came back that day not because you were worried about me, nor because you were afraid that something would happen to me. You came back just to understand the medicine!"

Concubine Zhen's slap was so hard that the corners of the Seventh Prince's lips were split, and he slapped it hard without dodging or avoiding it. After the tinnitus passed, he opened his eyes and lifted the Moon Frost Sword to his neck. Tears finally flowed down my eyes: "Concubine mother, if you feel that I am sorry for you, after today, I will return the bones to the father and the flesh to the mother. Your kindness of nurturing will be repaid in the next life, I just beg you Don't make the same mistake again!"

Concubine Zhen looked at him and shook her head one after another. She didn't understand the Seventh Prince's heart, just like the Seventh Prince couldn't persuade her, and finally wept and said, "Then you will pay it back!"

"you are dead--"

"I've never given birth to a son like you in my life!"
