"Your Majesty, there is still a box of picture scrolls, do you want to present them together?" Eunuch Li asked softly.

Emperor Tianyuan leaned lazily on the dragon chair in the study. In front of the table was a black high platform table, half of which was filled with memorials, and half of which was filled with scrolls of beauties.

"En." Emperor Tianyuan nodded casually, and then took the scented tea on the side and fed it to his lips.

Suddenly, a eunuch knocked on the door outside, Emperor Tianyuan nodded to the father-in-law who was serving beside him, and the father-in-law shouted loudly: "Come in."

The little eunuch outside immediately came in humbly, knelt far away from Emperor Tianyuan, and said: "Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the First Prince, His Highness Third, and His Highness Fourth are already waiting outside."

Emperor Tianyuan knocked on the table casually, completely unlike a father who is about to meet his most beloved child, he is just an emperor all the time, playing with everyone in his palm: "Xuan."

"Yes." The little eunuch stepped back quickly, and after a while, the crown prince Rong Lie walked in the front, leading the eldest prince Rong Kun and others in, kneeling down and saluting together.

Emperor Tianyuan smiled and said: "Okay, get up, come over and see if you think it looks good. You are not too young, you should raise a few clever ones in the house first." The grand lady who slept with her, until she was 13 years old, she had the ability to ask for her directly. After that, the grand lady stayed by her side as the maid in charge.

The princes were not surprised after hearing this, and most of them stood up calmly, first thanked the emperor, and then picked up the scrolls to look at each other, only the eldest prince Rong Kun felt a little upset.

He is already 12 years old this year, but his father didn't think of him until now, and let him choose with his younger brothers. It was obvious that he was just passing by, and his father always only thought of the prince.

Prince.

Prince!

This should have been his place!

The eldest prince Rong Kun hated himself for being born badly, and hated Emperor Tianyuan for his cruelty. He was jealous of many people, so the happiest thing in his life was the three years when the crown prince was not with Emperor Tianyuan. During these three years, the eldest prince felt that he was still Some gains, because he vaguely felt that the father was especially kind to the tenth princess. Although he was not to the fourth child, the fourth child and the tenth younger sister were brothers and sisters, which is still very intriguing.

He hoped that the fourth child would be able to compare with the prince, and let the prince, a guy with high eyes above the top, experience the feeling of not having a servant at his command!

"Your Majesty, I have brought all the scrolls." Eunuch Li was followed by two young eunuchs. They carried a box and put it in the center of the study room, then gently opened it, and placed the scrolls in front of the emperor.

It is rare for Emperor Tianyuan to have such a leisurely mind. He has used all his intrigues and schemes in the past three years to fight for the throne, and finally calmed down. In fact, it is very difficult to have the desire to indulge in sex. To see which courtiers will take the initiative to send their daughters in and give him the first surrender.

"Heh... Zhao Nian's painters are getting more and more perfunctory. The first few boxes were fine, but this one is getting more and more lifeless, and I don't know what they are doing." Emperor Tianyuan said casually, he said with a smile, and said Do not scold.

At this time, Eunuch Li stepped forward and said: "When I went to pick up the painting, I saw that Mr. Zhao seemed to be ill... lying on the couch... with a haggard appearance, very decadent."

Emperor Tianyuan put down a scroll of paintings casually, and picked up another scroll with obviously different paper quality, without thinking too much, he laughed and scolded: "Could it be that my job made him tired?"

Eunuch Li said jokingly: "It is Mr. Zhao's blessing to serve Your Highness. This servant thinks, I am afraid that I have a crush on some lady, and I am not good at speaking, which will hurt lovesickness."

"Hahaha!" Emperor Tianyuan raised his eyebrows, and said to the prince next to him, "their literati often engage in such hypocritical things, and they have no backbone."

Rong Lie lowered his eyes and remained silent, he could hear Emperor Tianyuan alluding to himself.

It was said in the palace that because of a sick man, the prince took care of everything personally. For that man, he executed a bunch of useless slaves in the East Palace, and pulled out the tongues of nearly 200 people, just because the imperial doctor said that the patient needs to be clean.

The emperor had never asked about the East Palace, this time he was just a little bit, and would never scold him, as if he couldn't even see the prince being so mischievous and cruel.

The eldest prince Rong Kun, who was afraid that things might not cause much trouble, could naturally hear it, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he quickly restrained himself, raised his head and insisted on pointing out: "Indeed, there are rumors in the palace recently that the second younger brother was fascinated by a man." , I don't believe it, the second brother is not a hypocritical person like Mr. Zhao."

Emperor Tianyuan glanced at the eldest prince, and said, "Nowadays, the south wind is prevailing, so it's not a bad idea for the prince to have one or two blue faces."

Emperor Tianyuan knew that the son of Lin Shangshu who lived in the East Palace of Crown Prince Rong Lie was beheaded by all his families. Few people in the court knew it, and the eldest prince naturally didn't know it. Emperor Tianyuan still didn't pay attention to a mere sick child. Yes, the prince likes to go, he always doesn't care.

The eldest prince was choked up, his face turned blue, but he didn't dare to attack, he held his breath and sat at the furthest place, staring at the painting in his hand, wishing he could stare a hole at the beautiful girl in the painting.

The prince didn't feel grateful for Emperor Tianyuan speaking for him in this way, the smile he evoked was tinged with indifference, watching the performance of all the people present.

Immediately afterwards, everyone had no more topics to talk about, and Emperor Tianyuan opened the scroll in his hand indifferently. The scroll gradually unfolded, and a different picture came into view...

Emperor Tianyuan paused, unable to move his eyes away for a long time, he carefully traced every line on the painting with his eyes, from the young man's slender neck to the eyes that seemed to have stars, and finally the winding one that looked like a water snake The tail of hair swimming in a pool of blood...

"Li Quan, Xuan Zhao Nian will come to see me right away." Emperor Tianyuan spread out the painting completely, and had someone hang it on the wall, saying, "It really is a 'Miss' that makes people think about it day and night."

After Rong Lie saw it, his pupils shrank slightly, and he glanced at the third prince Rong Xiao who also saw the picture scroll reflexively. Rong Xiao smiled harmlessly and said nothing.

At this moment, Emperor Tianyuan was not in the mood to talk to his sons, so he said to the prince and the others: "Do you have any favorites? If you don't, take the scroll back and read it."

The eldest prince Rong Kun was already about to bow and leave, but Rong Lie said: "Father wants to find the person in the painting, I can help father ask Mr. Zhao, so that I can show my filial piety."

Emperor Tianyuan smiled and said, "Well, stay here and see what Zhao Nian has to say."

Zhao Nian came very quickly, almost being pushed into the carriage by his father and rushed into the palace. He was not afraid of causing trouble by himself, but what he was afraid of was that Emperor Tianyuan really saw the painting, and then he must find that person!

Good job!

No, no, no!

Zhao Nian was full of conflicts, he wanted to see that person again, but he was afraid that he would be locked up in the palace from now on, making him even more hopeless.

So, when Emperor Yuan asked him that day, although Zhao Nian recognized the third prince Rong Xiao who had left with the boy at a glance, he still lied that he didn't know.

I only described the scene of that day in detail, and then I didn't know anything.

Emperor Tianyuan felt very sorry, but he didn't blame him either. In addition to his ups and downs, he waved his hand to make everyone retreat, and sat in the study alone looking at the painting.

Like a kind of demonic nature, Emperor Tianyuan looked at the person in the painting for a longer period of time, and began to be dissatisfied. He insisted on finding this person. During this period, the crown prince did another absurd thing, that is, married the girl who had been hiding in the East Palace for eight years Sick man, the emperor will play.

On the day of the wedding, the whole city was red with red makeup.

On the day they got married, the emperor also saw with his own eyes the man he had been looking for for eight years!

Time has changed many people. Eight years can turn a painting into an obsession, and also turn a painting into a life-threatening spell.

That night, Emperor Tianyuan sat in his study and looked at the painting as usual, he was no longer used to being a refined emperor who only respected himself, and he couldn't get it after being deceived like this, the more he thought about it, the more resentful he became, and he smashed the teacup to the ground.

"Come here!" Emperor Tianyuan noticed that the study room was too quiet, but he didn't take his eyes off the painting, "Come here!"

No one went in, not even Eunuch Li who had served him for many years.

Emperor Tianyuan finally realized what was wrong, but before he could stand up, someone walked behind him in the darkness, sealed his throat with a sword, and blood splashed on the painting...

The visitor walked up to the picture still hanging on the wall, picked up a candle and burned it from the edge, the candlelight illuminated his delicate and handsome face very tenderly, his eyes were indeed full of affection, his thin lips parted slightly, He said lightly: "How can my brother be seen by others..."

"The dirty eyes of those people should be gouged out."

"Well, I'm not in a hurry, take your time one by one."

The palace was brightly lit, and there were countless dead guards kneeling outside the emperor's study. Eunuch Li was also kneeling outside the study, holding the jade seal, waiting for the new emperor to come out of it with a look of horror.

East Palace.

[wocccccccc! ! ! !Host, your man is crazy! 】

[He killed his father and ascended the throne! ! !What about my main character? ? ? 】

[It's a mess, it's a mess, what should I do? ? ? 】

Shen Man closed his eyes and wasn't too worried, pulled the quilt to cover the hickey marks all over his back, and asked hoarsely: Are the points going to be halved?

The system [uh...hasn't prompted yet, probably not. 】

Shen Man: It's over now, I'll continue to sleep.

[Oh, I was scared to death, but fortunately, the points are fine. 】The system breathed a sigh of relief and continued to play the game.
