When Li Jingshu saw Prince Yu's son and Lin Yanhong, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He didn't seem to expect that King Yu didn't choose King Jingqin as his father thought, so that he could take advantage of Emperor Liang or the new king in the future.

He was left behind, although he was an abandoned son, but he also had his own role to play - but he knew it well, this role was negligible, and he didn't know how long it would last...

The third son of Prince Qi's Mansion does not have deep nostalgia or even obsession with Tianjing like his father, nor is he like his elder brother, Prince Qi, who has stayed in Beijing for many years and is used to the prosperity of the world. How much nostalgia.

This land is where Li Jingshu was born and grew up. Even though he has eyes and cannot see things clearly, Li Jingshu still has a deep and attachment to this land. .

In fact, he stayed voluntarily.

"Father, after all, Xicang is our rear. If monsters invade the territory and enter the Liang territory from the Western Regions, it will take time and effort to rebuild the Western Regions after the father ascends to the top... It is better for the child to stay and guard the border on his behalf. It can be saved for a while. "

Standing at such a close distance, Li Jingshu still couldn't see his father King Qi's face and expression clearly. He could only judge the other party's happiness and anger from the tone of his voice.

In the past 20 years, what he got the most was sighing at first, then boredom, and later turned into indifference.

Hearing his father's sigh again, Li Jingshu's heart was slightly disturbed, but soon, King Qi's stern voice reached his ears: "Do you know what it means to stay in Xicang?"

Of course he knew that it was very dangerous to be left in Xicang at this time.

A border without a prince guarding it is besieged by monsters, not to mention that all the soldiers and food in the city have been taken away, which means that he is guarding an empty city that is doomed to fall.

But King Qi can go, soldiers and food can go, where can the people of Xicang go?

Li Jingshu's heart has never been so firm. He heard himself say to King Qi: "Father, the child has added endless worries and troubles to the palace since birth. If Xicang has the chance to do something, the child will die without regret."

The mother thought that the eldest son was dead, and as his father's only son with a soul, he should be the heir.

But Li Jingshu is very clear that his own existence is a stain on his father - the father will never like his disabled son, so he would rather rebel than linger in Xicang.

Even if he was disabled, it was because his aunt, Princess Qi, moved his hands and feet when his mother was pregnant... This is something everyone knows well, because he has an excellent son in front of him, and he, the third son, is not Should have the power of soul.

What's more, Li Jingshu also discovered an amazing secret.

The eyes cannot see things, which makes Li Jingshu's hearing and other senses very keen. When he judges a thing, he does not "see" with his eyes, but "sees" with his heart.

When Xicang first received the news of the bizarre and sudden death of King Qi's son, Li Jingshu could clearly "see" his father's distraught grief, his hysteria, his tyranny, and his anger filled the surrounding air, making the Li Jingshu understood that the father who lost his son turned out to be like this.

But in just half a day, although King Qi was still "furious" in the eyes of everyone, and even suddenly felt rebellious because of this, only Li Jingshu could tell the difference.

His father, the king, didn't seem to be in such despair and pain as he expressed... There was even some excitement and secret joy.

So, what caused him to undergo such a transformation in just half a day?

Li Jingshu felt that his elder brother, Prince Qi, was probably still alive, and that his father seemed determined to win this attack on Beijing!

He didn't know who saved King Qi's son, and he didn't know why his father was so confident that he could replace Emperor Liang, but at least he understood that his father's departure from Xicang was just a stopgap measure, and he didn't do it because of the funeral. A desperate madness.

It was precisely by grasping this point that he recommended himself to stay in Xicang. As long as his father still had a slight thought of not wanting to give up on Xicang, he would have a chance to persuade him.

Later, as expected by Li Jingshu, King Qi did not refuse his request, but left some troops behind so that the third son would not even have the ability to protect himself.

After King Qi's army left, Li Jingshu, in the name of the palace, reorganized the border cities that had left only the old, weak, sick and disabled due to conscription.

The people here understand that they have been abandoned, and most of them have already fled. Only some people who are unwilling to leave their homeland, or those who want to escape but cannot escape, are waiting for death in despair.

The third son who was also left behind may not give them real hope, but people are like this. When they are drowning, let alone a piece of driftwood, even a piece of straw can make them ecstatic.

In this way, while the three young masters were exhausting their soul powers to frighten the monsters, the people who stayed on the border of the Western Regions were not idle. Under the strange peace, they continued to live in an orderly manner and learned how to resist in a corner.

When Li Jingcheng and Lin Yanhong arrived at the border of the Western Regions, they couldn't help being surprised by the "indifference" of the people here.

When they met Li Jingshu in Zuogong City, Li Jingcheng and Lin Yanhong found that the other party had obviously used the power of the soul and was a little weak, but he described it as not embarrassed at all, and not at all slumped after being abandoned by his father.

"Jing Cheng came in time, and Xicang was finally saved."

The royal family of Liang respected black, and only Beijing could use black. Li Jingshu's eyes were afraid of light, and a navy blue cloth belt was wrapped around it without any decoration.

Hearing Li Jingshu's words, Li Jingcheng and Lin Yanhong looked at each other, and Li Jingcheng said to Li Jingshu, "Thank you."

Regardless of whether King Qi rebelled or not, at least Li Jingshu stayed in Xicang and protected the people of the Western Regions with his meager strength. From this point of view, he deserves a word of "hard work".

Because of his fear of light, Li Jingshu lived indoors all year round. His body was weak and his complexion was pale. Compared with Lin Yanhong, who was seriously ill back then, he was not much better.

Coupled with the exhaustion and exhaustion during this period of time, and the constant consumption of the power of the soul, he is now close to exhaustion, and if he continues like this, he really won't last long.

"Uncle Huang Dayi wants to save Xicang from fire and water. On behalf of the people of Xicang, I would like to thank His Royal Highness King Yu and His Royal Highness the Son."

He asked his attendants to support him, and gave Li Jingcheng a big gift, but Li Jingcheng withdrew him.

"Since the third son understands that Prince Yu's trip has nothing to do with blood relationship and is purely for Xicang, then we don't need to communicate like this, it's better to do practical things first."

Lin Yanhong said to Li Jingshu: "We have already gone to the border to see, and the situation is indeed not optimistic. Xicang is the fiefdom of King Qi, and the third son should know everything about this place. If it is possible, you can tell what you know, that's good. Let's get ready."

Of course, the news needs to be listened to, but this is the son of King Qi after all, and vigilance is also necessary, so after listening to it, many things have to be carefully checked to avoid falling into a trap.

"This should be Lin Changshi from the Pingyang Governor's Mansion, who has admired his name for a long time." Li Jingshu struggled to get up with the help of his attendants, his weak face showing a determined expression: "I guarantee my life, and I will do my best to assist His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness." Lin Changshi, Xicang, please."

……

Almost at the same time, Jingzhong also got the news.

King Qi raised troops, and King Yu sent his son to protect the border in Xicang, but King Jing and King Hui remained silent for a while.

"King Yu is so bold that he didn't enter King Jingqin right away! This is a disobedience!"

"King Qi left the Western Regions, and there is no one to guard the border. If King Yu doesn't go to support him, does he still want to wait for King Jing to send troops to help the West?"

"Even if there is danger in the western region, there are priorities. Shouldn't those who are loyal to the king put His Majesty first?"

"According to what you said, the central capital still needs the prince to lead troops to help. The capital camp cannot be set up, so it is necessary for King Yu to leave the western region alone and come to the king from thousands of miles away? Isn't it clear at a glance what is the most important thing at this time?" ?”

"Even so, if King Yu wants to send troops to the Western Regions, he should go to Beijing first. How can he be so arbitrary?"

"King Yu's Zhezi has already arrived in Beijing, but it is only a matter of urgency. It is reasonable to send troops to the Western Regions to guard the border and prevent monsters from invading the border."

……

His Majesty did not go to court, and the attitudes of the several princes were unclear. The ministers of the former court insisted on their own opinions, and the quarrel was so intense that it was passed to the harem, which made the queen mother exhausted.

"This matter is Ai's family's mistake. We shouldn't be in such a hurry to let Jing Cheng and Jing Xi enter the palace... Yuer, I'm afraid he really annoyed Ai's family this time."

Seeing this, the female officer next to the Queen Mother quickly comforted her: "Queen Mother, King Yu is your parent and son. How can there be real hatred between mother and son? His Royal Highness King Yu sent His Royal Highness to Xicang this time to guard the border for His Majesty and keep one side safe. , I am determined not to be angry with you."

The Empress Dowager glanced at her, feeling hopeful in her heart, but in the end, she sighed again.

——If it was the first emperor who went to fief the land in the first place, and the court wanted to take her only two sons to Beijing as hostages to contain the first emperor, would she have resentment for this, and would she become divorced from the palace?Isn't this an easy answer... So, there is no need to deceive yourself.

"What did the imperial doctor and Master Wujue say today?"

When the female officer heard the Queen Mother asked about His Majesty, she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's condition is fairly stable, but he hasn't woken up yet."

His Majesty had actually been sober for a while before, but even he himself did not expect that he would fall down again so soon, so many things were too late to arrange.

The Empress Dowager had experienced two dynasties, and she was not in a panic at first, but Her Majesty's situation has not improved, and even worsened from time to time, and she almost couldn't make it through several times, which made the Empress Dowager panic and made what seems to be a wrong choice now.

"How is the investigation of Prince Qi's Shizifu going? How did Hui'er die?"

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, everyone in Prince Qi's Shizi Mansion has been interrogated, but Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple have not made any progress."
