Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]

In the original book of "Jing Yuan Lu", the time when the Nine Dragons seized the throne really started shortly after the Nine Princes married the Nine Emperor Consorts.The so-called "Nine Dragons Conquer the Inheritance" on the movie poster and in the original book does not refer to the nine princes, but to the eight "false" dragons, and the "real" dragon Jingyuan.

Since even the youngest Ninth Prince appeared on the poster, but the Eighth Prince was not there, the only reason was that the Eighth Prince died before he grew up.In this way, since the eighth prince died early, how could he appear at the beginning of the Nine Dragons Conquest?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jining couldn't sit still anymore, he asked Xiaodan: "Little Dan, you said that I can know how a prince died, and when did he die?" Xiao Jining paused for a moment, then his tone was firm Said, "Then tell me now how the Eighth Prince died and when he died."

"Are you sure?" Xiaodan didn't expect Xiao Jining to use up this opportunity now, not on himself, "You only have one chance."

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Jining said firmly, "Yes."

Xiaodan was silent for a few seconds, and said: "You use this opportunity to save the eighth prince now, then what will you do to save yourself? And even if you save him, it doesn't mean that he won't die in the future. Do you want to save him again?"

Xiao Jining didn't answer this time before answering Xiaodan, his steps towards the outside of the hall had already expressed the answer in his heart, he just said to Xiaodan: "That day when Jingyuan accompanied me out of the palace, he talked to me a lot. "

"He told me that the dead are gone, and the living should be like this."

"He also advised me that if one day someone close to me passes away, I should not be too sad, but live happily, because this is what the deceased wishes to see."

Xiao Jining stopped and said, "But I know, I can't do it."

"Little egg, you know, I've actually lived my whole life long ago, but my last life was so muddled, I don't know what I'm living." Xiao Jining laughed at himself, "I have no relatives, no friends, maybe I have Well, but because of many things, I have to be estranged from them, so that I don't have any nostalgia for wanting to live on the day when I thought I was going to die."

"But this life is different. Brother Seventh Emperor and Eighth Emperor have treated me very well. If something happens to them, I know I will be sad, I will be very sad, and I will never be able to continue to live a good life. ..."

In fact, there is no need for Xiaodan to persuade him, because once Xiaodan persuaded him, Xiao Jining would know instead—maybe the Eighth Prince really died this year, or even today.

Xiao Jining continued to move forward, walking faster and faster, and almost trotted out of the hall at the back: "So even if our brothers turn against each other in the future, even if we have to fight each other in the future, even if I can only save him this time for the rest of my life -"

"I'm going to save him this time too!"

Xiaodan understood that Xiao Jining's mind had been made up, sighed, and told him: "Historical records, in the 19th year of Yunhong, the crown prince got married, and three days later, the eighth prince Xiao Jichu died of illness, Shang, thirteen."

Shang means that people die when they are underage.

The eighth prince is thirteen this year, it seems that he really died this year.

"Are you sure that Brother Eighth Prince died of illness?" Xiao Jining had already left the main hall and looked for the Eighth Prince's trace nearby. He knew that the Eighth Prince came out because of a stomachache, so Xiao Jining searched in the direction of the palace toilet.

"Yes." Xiaodan affirmed, "Although the historical records may sometimes have some deviations due to various reasons and historical facts, I can assure you that the Eighth Prince did die of illness—"

Xiao Dan's voice hadn't finished yet, Xiao Jining opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "I saw him!"

"Help, uh...help..."

Before Xiao Jining reached the pool, he heard the sound of rushing water and the eighth prince's gradually weakening cry for help.The trail of the Eighth Prince is not difficult to find. Anyone who accidentally fell into the water and thrashed would be as conspicuous as the Eighth Prince.

"Brother Eighth Prince—!" Xiao Jining ran along the voice, passed through a few corridors and saw the Eighth Prince struggling in a deep blue lake.

The eighth prince doesn't know how to fushui. In fact, among the princes, except for Xiao Jining, who studied in a sports school in his previous life, only the fourth prince can do it. Because the fourth prince, mother and concubine are concubines Wen, and concubine Wen is a tribute from Dongying. The married Mei Ji, who was born in an island country, concubine Wen can do watermelon, so she also taught her son how to do watermelon.

Although the lake where the eighth prince landed is not very big, the color of the water shows that the depth is not shallow. Xiao Jining doesn't know how much mud there is at the bottom, nor does he know if there will be feet-bound aquatic plants in the water, let alone him. His main occupation is archery, not swimming, and the situation of indoor swimming pools and open-air lakes is also different.

Xiao Jining originally wanted to ask the palace servants to help, but he screamed for a long time but no one came, and he couldn't find a long bamboo pole nearby that the Eighth Prince could hold. Xiao Jining didn't have time to think about it, he jumped into the water and swam towards the Eighth Prince.

Having not touched the water for many years, Xiao Jining found that although his movements were a little rusty, he could still swim. He floated to the side of the Eighth Prince and grabbed the Eighth Prince's arm: "Brother Eighth, Brother Eighth! I'm here to save you!"

Anyone who has experienced diving into the water to save someone knows that when a person is drowning, the best way is not to dive into the water to save someone, but to use a long pole to pull the person ashore, because drowning people don't know how to swim, and their only thought is to float up They breathe on the surface of the water, so the person who comes to rescue at this time will be treated as a life-saving driftwood by them, and they only know to hug or press the person desperately so that they can surface.

This is why when a drowning incident occurs, sometimes the drowning person survives, but the rescuer dies.

The Eighth Prince is no exception.

As soon as Xiao Jining touched him, the Eighth Prince instantly grabbed Xiao Jining with all four limbs, making Xiao Jining unable to move and continue paddling. Not to mention that Xiao Jining was half a head shorter than him, there was a person with the same build as the Eighth Prince I can't bear to come here.

So Xiao Jining couldn't be rescued, so he choked up a few saliva, he couldn't even say the words to tell the Eighth Prince to relax and stop holding on so tightly, and he let out most of his strength after struggling for a few times, at this moment Xiao Jining hated It reminded me of my usual laziness and reluctance to exercise more. If he had better physical strength, would he be so useless?

But what Xiao Jining didn't expect was that after a while, the eighth prince seemed to realize something, and quickly got off Xiao Jining, only grabbing his sleeve.

Xiao Jining finally had a chance to catch his breath, he kicked twice and surfaced, but the Eighth Prince was about to sink to the bottom again, Xiao Jining quickly dragged him back and let the Eighth Prince hold his neck: "Brother Eighth Prince, you Hold my neck, and I'll take you up right away."

But it's easier said than done, Xiao Ji Ning is only so tall, what kind of body is the Eighth Prince compared to him?Not to mention that Xiao Jining didn't have much strength to choke on the water just now, the most important thing is that the Eighth Prince doesn't know how to swim, he managed to bring himself to the center of the lake while struggling wildly, at this moment they are about tens of meters away from the opposite bank, With Xiao Jining's figure, it would be easier said than done for him to swim back with the Eighth Prince?

So Xiao Jining spent a long time pulling the water, but only got closer to the opposite bank, and it was still far away from going to the shore, and Xiao Jining didn't have much strength at this time.

The Eighth Prince asked him tremblingly: "Ninth Brother... Are we going up soon?"

"...It's coming soon." Xiao Jining had difficulty even taking a breath, but he still comforted the Eighth Prince, "Brother Eighth Emperor, please hold on for a while."

After the eighth prince fell into the water, he was so afraid that he closed his eyes, and realized that the person supporting him seemed to be sinking, so the eighth prince resisted the fear and opened his eyes, glanced at the shore of the lake, which was as far away as the sky for him, and then covered himself. Trembling, sobbing and crying: "Woo... I shouldn't eat, eat so much... I'm too heavy..."

He cried a few words and then struggled again, but this time he wanted Xiao Jining to let him go: "Ninth Brother, let me go... I'm going to die... Cough cough!"

The Eighth Prince choked up a few more sips of water while he was speaking. Xiao Jining's eyes were a little red when he heard him say that, but he gritted his teeth fiercely and raised his voice: "Brother Emperor, you will not die! Hold on! Someone will come to rescue right away We are here!"

After Xiao Jining yelled this sentence, he didn't know where his energy came from for the next moment, he took a deep breath and brought the Eighth Prince back, and continued to swim towards the lake shore with all his strength.

At this moment, he could see nothing but the shore of the lake, and what he was thinking in his mind was whether he would die here with the eighth prince today. His only clear thought was that the eighth prince Xiao Jichu died of illness. , not drowned.

Even if he died today, he would not let his Eighth Emperor brother die here!

But the opposite bank was really too far for the two of them, Xiao Jining felt that his limbs were getting heavier and heavier as if they were filled with lead, and every time he lifted it, it seemed as if his remaining strength was exhausted, but holding him by the neck The person is so important, it is his brother, his relatives, so that he can have the strength to lift up next time.

"Xiao Jiu—!"

"Old Ba—!"

When Xiao Jining saw the Seventh Prince running to the lakeside with the eunuch and maid calling his and the Eighth Prince's names, tears finally welled up in Xiao Jining's eyes, he didn't say a word, just relaxed his body and let him and the Eighth Prince sink together.

The more he sank, the farther the light on the lake was from him. Xiao Jining slightly opened his eyes to look at the light, and couldn't help but think of the first time he saw the Seventh Prince when he first came to this world.

The boy who was a few years older than him bent down and asked him, "Ninth Brother, why did you fall asleep here?"

The young man who got angry because the maid neglected him sincerely cared and cared about him. He was always fulfilling his duty as a big brother, standing up for the bullied younger brother. I feel aggrieved, but more of it is to reflect on whether I have done something wrong to make my younger brother angry, apologize seriously, and clumsily coax others, all just to make my younger brother like me again.

The same is true for the Eighth Prince. He was ignorant when he was young, and he only knew how to treat him foolishly with the Seventh Prince. When he grows up, he also learns to be a good brother, knowing that he is the most unfavored Emperor Xiao. His son, once the rest of the princes surpass him in literature and martial arts, he will have no future in front of the emperor, but he still likes to watch him study and urge him to practice martial arts to strengthen his body.

Doesn't the eighth prince know how difficult he is in the palace?

From the first day when Jing Yuan was his companion, the second prince regarded him as a thorn in his side, and even bullied him with his good eighth prince.

Xiao Jining still remembers that the eighth prince was often full of injuries when he first went to the martial arts training ground. When he saw and asked about it by chance, the eighth prince just smiled and said that it is common for people who practice martial arts to be injured. His mother and concubine also said that the more scars, the more men The more brave you are.

It was only later that Xiao Jining found out that those injuries were caused by the second prince on the grounds that he was teaching the eighth brother martial arts.

And what about the Seventh Prince?

The younger brother he loves and cares about is the concubine whom his mother and concubine hate the most. Hasn't Concubine Zhen ever told the seventh prince to stay away from the prince Chunji gave birth to?But the seventh prince has always kept his duty, respected the prince, and loved his younger brother. This is different from Xiao Jining's deliberate pretending to be obedient. The seventh prince has been working hard to be a good elder brother and a good imperial brother from the very beginning. The original intention has not been changed for many years.

Not to mention Emperor Xiao, such a person, even if it was Xiao Jining, he still felt that if there was no crown prince and the Seventh Prince ascended the throne as emperor, he would be a Ming emperor and would be able to create a prosperous Qingming era.

So the tears that Xiao Jining couldn't hold back were not because he and the Eighth Prince could finally be saved, but because he blamed himself for his despicable suspicion of the Seventh Prince. How could he doubt his elder brother?

So he is letting go now, not because he has given up on himself, let alone the Eighth Prince, he just affirms that the Seventh Prince will never let any of them sink into this lake forever.

Because they are his younger brothers, and they are relatives that he will do his best to protect.
