mountain and river oath

Zhao Jing accompanied Shu Zilan to drink tea. He got two ounces of Pu'er newly, and gave Shu Zilan all to drink.

"These teas are produced from an 800-year-old tea tree in the mountains"

"The older the tea tree, the fresher and tenderer the tea, and the less tea it produces"

"I got two taels in total"

Shu Zilan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing took it and sipped it slowly.

"Mr. Li" Shu Zilan saw Li Rumei approaching, since he came back, the two haven't met yet.

"Master Shu, are you back?"

"Um"

Li Rumei sat down, Shu Zilan handed Li Rumei a cup of tea, Li Rumei took it, took a sip, "good tea"

"What's the news?" Zhao Jing looked at Li Ru and asked.

"The news came from the palace that the emperor secretly summoned the prime minister and the minister to enter the palace."

"The booklet is handed in"

Li Rumei nodded.

"Keep watching, news will come soon"

"Yes" Li Rumei put down the tea in her hand, turned and left.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing, "Have you already started to act?"

"Um"

"I'm sorry." Shu Zilan knew that if it wasn't because of him, Zhao Jing had been held back, Zhao Jing would have taken action a long time ago, how could it have been delayed until now.

Zhao Jing took Shu Zilan's hand, "There is no need to talk about this between us, you are worth it"

Shu Zilan was moved in her heart.

Zhao Jing hugged Shu Zilan in a deep sleep, the door suddenly knocked, Zhao Jing hurriedly got up, Shu Zilan opened his eyes bewilderedly, Zhao Jing went down to the ground, pushed open the door,

"Your Highness, there is news from the palace asking you to enter the palace immediately," Wang Lu said standing at the door.

"I see." Zhao Jing walked into the room immediately, Shu Zilan's eyes were shrewd, and there was no trace of confusion,

"what happened?"

"I want to enter the palace"

"Be careful." Shu Zilan grabbed Zhao Jing's hand

"I know"

"Go ahead"

Zhao Jing opened the curtain and went out. Wang Lu and his attendants were waiting in the room with basins, towels, and court clothes. After Zhao Jing washed his face, he got dressed and hurried away on horseback under the service of his attendants.

He walked to the door of the study, the prince was guarding the door, saw Zhao Jing coming up immediately,

"Is Your Highness coming?"

"Where is King Yu?"

"inside"

"Who else?"

Wang Gonggong raised a finger, Zhao Jing understood,

"Thank you, Eunuch"

"Your Highness please"

The little eunuch opened the door for Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing walked in, saw Zhao Chong kneeling on the ground, Emperor Jing was holding a memorial and two letters in his hand, Zhao Jing admired Pei Che in his heart, and Pei Che was quick and straightforward.

"Nizi, you did such an animal act for yourself, regardless of brotherhood." Emperor Jing pointed at Zhao Chong tremblingly. He didn't know what happened to his sons. , Regardless of the brotherhood of father and son.

"Father, this is something that Chen Youliang asked someone to fabricate to frame his son." Zhao Chong knelt down and begged for mercy.

"False accusation, you still haven't admitted it yet. Look, is it your own handwriting?" Emperor Jing still kept the letter at Zhao Chong's feet. Zhao Chong knew that it was his own handwriting. At this time, he must not admit it. Once he admits it, he just lose.

"Father, the minister did not frame the sixth younger brother, I beg my father to learn from me."

"Don't quibble, I've already had someone check it, it's your handwriting"

"Father Emperor" Zhao Chong was stunned on the spot, his heart was as cold as ice, what should he do,

"I beg my father to spare my son, my son was provoked by Sun Yi, and I was fascinated by ghosts for a while."

"Sun Yi?"

"He is my son's counselor," Zhao Chong said hastily.

"Where are the others?"

"Run away" Zhao Chong said.

"Ran?"

"Yes, I don't know why he ran away suddenly, maybe he fled in fear of crime." Zhao Chong said carefully, at this time, he must be careful not to make mistakes in his errands, otherwise, cold sweat would ooze from his back.

"Ridiculous, full of nonsense, I think you have wolf ambitions in your heart"

Zhao Chong didn't dare to speak.

"Father, the fifth brother is the person who resembles the father the most among all the princes, please forgive the fifth brother for the sake of his close relatives."

After hearing Zhao Jing's words, Zhao Chong's heart turned cold. Zhao Jing's inadvertent words left him nowhere to turn around. How did his father ascend to power? People know better than the emperor, at this time Zhao Jing mentioned that he is the person most like the father, suspicious, suspicious, self-willed, cruel and ruthless, no matter how eloquent he is, he can't tell the difference.

As expected, Emperor Jing was deep in thought, and sighed for a long time,

"Prepared decree, Zhao Chong, King Yu, has no benevolence and love, and is unworthy of his position. From now on, the throne will be cut off, and he will be named the county king, stationed in the imperial tomb, and he will not be able to return to Beijing if there is no move."

The prince immediately spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and in a short while, an imperial decree was written, and the prince handed it to Emperor Jing, who stamped his seal on it.

"Tomorrow Morning Proclamation"

"Slave obeys"

Zhao Chong looked up at Zhao Jing bitterly, and smiled viciously, "I lost, and you don't want to win either."

"Father, the sixth brother claims to love only one person, but the person he loves is not a woman, but a man"

Emperor Jing looked at Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing's scalp felt tight,

"Is what he said true?"

Zhao Jing hastily knelt down, "Father, Fifth Brother still wants to bite at this time"

"You just need to say what he said is right?" Emperor Jing asked forcefully.

"Father"

"Is it true?" Emperor Jing said.

Zhao Jing bowed his head and remained silent.

"Who is he?" Emperor Jing looked at Zhao Chong and asked.

Zhao Jing remained silent.

Zhao Chong struggled and said "Shu Zilan" for a long time

"Eunuch Wang, you go to Prince Qi's mansion, look for Shu Zilan, and give him death."

Zhao Jing's face was pale, and he collapsed to the ground

Zhao Chong laughed out loud

"Father, please don't kill him. Whatever you want me to do, I will do it. Please don't kill him." Zhao Jing climbed up to Emperor Jing step by step, pulled his lapel, and Emperor Jing kicked Zhao away. Jing,

"go"

The prince took orders and left

"Father, please!" Zhao Jing grabbed Emperor Jing's lapel

"□□Nobility, for a man, how decent is it?"

"Father, please don't kill him, I am willing to get married, and I am willing to never see him again in this life" Zhao Jing begged in a panic.

Emperor Jing looked at his son who had always been calm and self-sufficient, and panicked. He must get rid of this person. Now, Zhao Jing is the only one who is qualified to inherit the throne. He cannot let the emperor of Wei love a man. To be alive is to stop Zhao Jing's thoughts, no matter what happens to Zhao Jing in the future, now he must get married, marry many women, and give birth to an heir.

Emperor Jing coldly pushed Zhao Jing away, walked out of the study slowly,

"Before dawn, these two people can't leave the study," Emperor Jing said to the guards guarding the gate.

"Yes" said the guard.

Emperor Jing turned and left.

Sitting on the ground, Zhao Jing felt that there was nothing to love in his life, and he only hoped that the prince would look at him for his sake and let him be lenient.

Zhao Jing waited anxiously, and the days seemed like years. At dawn, he hurriedly got up from the ground, without patting his clothes, rushed out of the imperial study room, ran out, got on his horse, and prayed in his heart that nothing would happen, nothing would happen You must be safe. At the door, Zhao Jing got off his horse and ran in hastily, but seeing Ling Yun looking at him sadly, Zhao Jing's heart sank.

"Where is Rong Qing?"

"A father-in-law came to the palace and poured a glass of poisoned wine for the young master, and the young master is gone." Ling Yun burst into tears after speaking.

Zhao Jing ran in like crazy,

"Where is Rong Qing?" Zhao Jing grabbed Li Rumei, and Li Rumei pointed at Zhao Jing's bedroom with a sad face.

Zhao Jing let go of Li Rumei, and ran in hastily. Shu Zilan lay quietly on the bed, her eyes were closed tightly, her brows were serene, as if she was asleep.

Zhao Jing sat on the edge of the bed, stroking Shu Zilan's cheek, he touched his nose, but there was no trace of heat, he was desperate, he was unwilling to touch, no, still not, how could Shu Zilan disappear, this morning, he still Holding him, now that he is lying on his bed, how could he be gone?Impossible, he must be tired and asleep,

Zhao Jing was lying beside Shu Zilan, stroking his cheeks, his body, Shu Zilan was still by his side, he is not dead?

For three days in a row, Zhao Jing stood by Shu Zilan's side without eating or drinking, and locked himself in the room. When dusk fell, the sky-blue clouds came in from the window and sprinkled on Shu Zilan's sleeping cheeks. Zhao Jing hugged Shu Zilan, Shu Zilan's body was hanging softly in Zhao Jing's arms, without making a sound, but three days later, his body was still cold, his cheeks were rosy, without any change.

"Rong Qing, it's been three days, you should wake up, get up and talk to me, okay?" Zhao Jing said softly.

Shu Zilan closed her eyes tightly.

Zhao Jing was getting more and more disappointed, but he was unwilling to accept it. If Shu Zilan died, what was the use of him living in this world?What fun is there in this world with him?What is he going to do with the things he is looking forward to?Everything is useless.

Zhao Jing was in despair. It seemed that a hole had been opened in his heart. The longer the time passed, the bigger the hole would become.

"Bang bang" knocked on the door, but Zhao Jing ignored it. There would always be someone knocking on the door every day, disturbing him and Shu Zilan. He didn't want to pay attention to the outside world anymore.

"Your Highness, open the door"

Zhao Jing ignored it, he recognized Ling Yun's voice.

"Your Highness, the prince is here"

It was Li Rumei's voice.

No matter who came, he didn't want to see it.

Zhao Jing ignored Shu Zilan and watched the sunset gradually.

The door burst open with a bang, Ling Yun broke in, Li Rumei walked behind with Wang Gonggong, Zhao Jing looked at the people who came in,

"Get out" in displeasure

"Your Highness"

Ling Yun looked at Zhao Jing imploringly. Zhao Jing hadn't slept for a few days, groomed, and was sitting on the couch by the window with Shu Zilan in his arms. His hair was disheveled, his expression was empty and hopeless, and he looked haggard and emaciated. Ling Yun felt distressed when he saw it. Is it the lofty, bright and cheerful King Qi?

"Your Highness, the prince is here," Li Rumei looked at Zhao Jing and said.

Zhao Jing didn't seem to hear, looked at Shu Zilan, patted his body tenderly, and brushed the corners of Shu Zilan's eyebrows and eyes with his fingers.

Wang Gonggong looked at Zhao Jing, and felt very lucky, fortunately, he made a decisive decision at that time and did not do anything stupid, otherwise, when Zhao Jing ascended the throne, he would definitely be executed by Zhao Jing.

He turned around and looked at the people around him, and said, "I have a few important words with His Highness, you all go down."

Li Rumei led everyone back out, Wang Gonggong walked to Zhao Jing, looked at Shu Zilan who seemed to be asleep and said, "Isn't it strange, Your Highness, why has Mr. Shu not changed for three days?"

Zhao Jing seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, with a cracked smile on his stiff face, "Elder-in-law"

Eunuch Wang laughed. He took out a bright red pill from his arms and handed it to Zhao Jing.

"Your Highness, give Master Shu this medicine."

Zhao Jing looked at Wang Gonggong hesitantly,

"The situation was urgent that day, so I didn't inform you, so I gave the medicine to Mr. Shu privately. I was afraid that His Highness would be worried, so I have to be free today to tell His Highness that Mr. Shu is not dead."

"What?" Zhao Jing instantly felt that he had walked from hell to heaven, and his heart was filled with great joy. He said incoherently, "Grandpa Xie" took the pill and carefully fed it to Shu Zilan.

He touched Shu Zilan's breath, gradually a faint heat came out,

"Rong Qing, Rong Qing" Zhao Jing called out happily.

"Your Highness, keep your voice down"

Zhao Jing hurriedly controlled his emotions, knowing that the fact that Shu Zilan was alive at this time must not be exposed.

"Is this a fake death pill?"

"Yes, there is only this one in the palace"

Zhao Jing looked at Eunuch Wang gratefully, and understood that Eunuch Wang hid the medicine, probably for self-defense. Now that he gave the medicine to Shu Zilan, he cut off his own back route.

"I will definitely treat my father-in-law generously"

"Thank you, Your Highness," the prince bowed.
