"Do you have something to say?" Meng Yuxin asked.

Jiang Xuan looked at him with an extremely cold expression. He didn't speak, but clenched his hands into fists and made a clicking sound.Meng Yuxin's body trembled a little, he was not afraid of Jiang Xuan hitting him, but he was a little afraid of Jiang Xuan in his heart.Meng Yuxin knew that Jiang Xuan's methods were amazing, and Jiang Xuan's methods against the prince were enough to make Meng Yuxin terrified.

Meng Yuxin didn't know what Jiang Xuan was going to say, and this quiet atmosphere made his heart pound even more. "What exactly do you want to say?" Finally, Meng Yuxin couldn't stand Jiang Xuan's piercing gaze, and asked directly. He was very afraid of this quiet atmosphere.

Jiang Xuan knew that Meng Yuxin was afraid, and he tried to contain his anger, but when he thought of what happened in the palace, he couldn't restrain his anger.Jiang Xuan grabbed Meng Yuxin's arm, of course avoiding Meng Yuxin's injured part: "Yuxin, tell me, if I was one step late just now, would you really kill yourself?"

Jiang Xuan couldn't bear Meng Yuxin's compromise in order to save Jiang Ming, and couldn't bear Meng Yuxin's almost dying in front of his eyes.When he watched Meng Yuxin draw his sword and kill himself, his heart was in his throat.

When Meng Yuxin heard Jiang Xuan's angry voice, her body trembled even more: "Xuan'er, I did that to appease the queen, and I didn't want to...but the situation was critical, I..."

"Stop talking, after all, you are still protecting my father, right?" Jiang Xuan interrupted Meng Yuxin angrily, "Don't you hate him? Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity? He became a hostage of Empress Zheng. Then It is his own fault, why did you take this muddy water, why did you compromise with Empress Zheng?"

"Xuan'er, what are you talking about? He is your father after all." Meng Yuxin stood up and said, he hated Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming was poisoned now, and he would not live long, Meng Yuxin just wanted to delay as much as possible.Although he did think about killing himself at the beginning, he regretted it at the last moment, because he had Jiang Xuan in his heart, and he was unwilling to die like that.

However, Jiang Xuan didn't know Meng Yuxin's thoughts at all. He thought Jiang Xuan was willing to kill himself for Jiang Ming, which made him very angry.He slapped the table and stood up angrily: "Do you like him and are willing to die for him?"

"It has nothing to do with liking him."

But Jiang Xuan didn't believe Meng Yuxin's words. The scene of Meng Yuxin drawing his sword and committing suicide was lingering in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more flustered he became - he almost lost Meng Yuxin.

Without any explanation, Jiang Xuan hugged Meng Yuxin in his arms and began to kiss Meng Yuxin's lips. This time he tried very hard to vent his anger. "Let me go!" Meng Yuxin beat Jiang Xuan hard, but Jiang Xuan seemed to have gone crazy, and didn't listen to Meng Yuxin at all.

Jiang Xuan picked up Meng Yuxin at once, and walked quickly to the bedside. Meng Yuxin's clothes also fell on the bedside, and Jiang Xuan stepped on her feet.

"Jiang Xuan, stop, you hurt me." Meng Yuxin endured the pain in her arm and moved to the other side of the bed, but Jiang Xuan grabbed his calf and pulled him back directly.

Meng Yuxin felt that Jiang Xuan kissed his neck, and there was a tendency to keep going down. He felt very flustered, and slapped Jiang Xuan hard on the face, completely waking Jiang Xuan up.

"Do you know what you are doing? Now your father is seriously ill in bed, but you... Xuan'er, you really let me down!"

Meng Yuxin reprimanded loudly, and at the end, her voice began to choke.Jiang Xuan looked at Meng Yuxin, said nothing with a sullen face, his eyes were like a wolf's, and Meng Yuxin kept moving back in fright.Just when Meng Yuxin couldn't hold on anymore, Jiang Xuan finally stood up and strode out of the palace gate.

With a bang, the door opened, and both Qiu He and Xiao Liu turned pale with fright, and they could all feel the anger emanating from Jiang Xuan.But Jiang Xuan just glanced at them, then rode on his horse, waved his whip and left.

After Jiang Xuan walked away, Qiu He recovered from the shock, and she hurried to the bedroom.

"My son, my son, are you okay?"

Meng Yuxin sat on the bed blankly, the wound on his arm was bleeding, but he couldn't feel it. "He's gone?" Meng Yuxin asked hoarsely.

Qiu He nodded, and wanted to help Meng Yuxin get dressed, but Meng Yuxin waved her away: "No, I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while." After saying that, Meng Yuxin lay down. His arm was injured and he couldn't move anything. He hurried forward to tidy the quilt for him, during which Meng Yuxin didn't say a word.

Qiuhe put down the bed curtain and saw that Meng Yuxin had closed her eyes, so she had to quietly leave the room.

Meng Yuxin closed her eyes, thinking about Jiang Xuan's indifferent expression, her heart ached, but he was so tired that he soon fell asleep.Meng Yuxin didn't wake up until the sun went down, then ate something and fell back to sleep.

When he woke up again, Meng Yuxin heard birds chirping, he climbed out of bed and opened the window, and saw the birds flying across the water, making tiny ripples.The sun outside the window was just right, Meng Yuxin squinted her eyes and adjusted for a while before opening them again.

He hadn't enjoyed the scenery of Jinghua Pavilion for a long time. The lotus leaves on the water surface were already unfolded, emerald green, like emeralds under the sun.Meng Yuxin stood for a while, and her depressed mood was relieved, so Qiu He came in to serve her.

Qiu He first applied medicine to Meng Yuxin: "Young Master, this is the Yu Lingshuang sent by the third prince last night. It is said that it can remove scars." Qiu He opened the lid excitedly, a faint fragrance came out, and then Qiu He carefully She put the ointment on Meng Yuxin's arm.

Meng Yuxin felt the refreshing feeling of the ointment and couldn't help but think of Jiang Xuan. He felt a pain in his heart and told himself not to think about him anymore.Qiuhe quickly applied the medicine, and waited for Meng Yuxin to wear a loose and soft dress, hoping to minimize the friction on the wound.

After grooming, Meng Yuxin went to see little Jiang Rui. Now that Jiang Ming knew his identity, Meng Yuxin was very worried about the child's safety.But so far, no imperial guards have come over, and Meng Yuxin feels a little relieved.

Jiang Rui has been raised by the nanny for the past two days, but when Meng Yuxin picked her up, she laughed.Although Jiang Rui was ignorant and ignorant now, the child was very familiar with the smell, and when he smelled the familiar smell, he lay in Meng Yuxin's arms.

Seeing that Jiang Rui didn't forget, Meng Yuxin's mood finally improved a lot.

"Qiu He, if someone comes to arrest the little prince, come and tell me immediately." Meng Yuxin is now very worried about the safety of little Jiang Rui, and the grievances of his parents. He doesn't want his child to be implicated.

Afterwards, Meng Yuxin took the child for a walk, and he returned to his bedroom when he was about to eat lunch.

Taking the time to eat, Meng Yuxin was in the mood to ask about the situation in the palace. He slept for a day and a night, and he didn't know what happened in the palace.Of course, Qiuhe was always paying attention to the affairs in the palace. When Meng Yuxin asked, she gave a general overview of the situation, which made Meng Yuxin feel a lot.

One day and one night, whether it is long or short, for the Chen Dynasty, it was an earth-shaking change.

The prince led troops to attack the palace, but was wiped out by the third prince. The prince was charged with conspiracy to usurp the throne and was beheaded on the spot.The prince's biological mother, Empress Zheng, assassinated the emperor, and is now being detained in the sky prison. She will be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded tomorrow together with the rebellious party.The Zheng family, as well as the relatives of other ministers who rebelled, will be questioned according to the law.

Now that the government is controlled by Jiang Xuan, of course Jiang Xuan will not be merciful, but in order to gain a good reputation, Jiang Xuan has extended favor to many ministers except the main criminal.For the crimes committed by Empress Zheng, according to the law, the nine clans should have been exterminated and Ling Chi should have been executed, but Jiang Xuan was only sentenced to beheading.However, Empress Zheng always died once. In this way, Jiang Xuan gained a good reputation and got rid of the serious troubles of his confidantes. It was the best of both worlds.

Meng Yuxin listened to Qiuhe tell all these things, he could imagine how beautiful Jiang Xuan would be now, the crown prince was dead, Jiang Xuan's remaining two younger brothers were no good, and the throne would only belong to Jiang Xuan.

"You have finally achieved your wish." Meng Yuxin thought to herself.

However, this good news did not make Meng Yuxin happy. Looking at the table full of food, he still had no appetite.

"Where is your majesty? How is your majesty now?"

Qiu He said: "Young Master, Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet, and the ministers of the Ministry of Rites seem to be preparing for...the national funeral."

For the past two days, people in the palace were in panic. His majesty passed away, and the palace was about to change hands. This was a big deal for the people in the palace.Once the emperor and the courtiers, except for Xu Zhaoyi, everyone else in the palace is rushing about their own future.Those who had sinned against Xu Zhaoyi or the third prince in the past are now in a gloomy mood, looking for ways through their connections so that they can curry favor with the new master.

The people in Jinghua Pavilion are better. Knowing that Meng Yuxin and Jiang Xuan have a good relationship, the people here are not too worried.But if the emperor dies, Meng Yuxin will no longer be Yu Xiuyi, and what to do in the future will also affect the hearts of the people in the palace.

As one of the few people who knew the secret relationship, Qiu He was not worried about her own future, but Meng Yuxin's future.She still remembers Jiang Xuan's piercing gaze when he left. She was afraid that Jiang Xuan would get angry and make Meng Yuxin feel better, and she was also afraid that Jiang Xuan would continue to pester Meng Yuxin and something even more terrible would happen.

"My lord, there is a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not." Qiu He hesitated, and finally said.

Meng Yuxin smiled and said, "You can say whatever you want."

"Young master, you should think about your future plans. If His Majesty dies, your situation will be very difficult."

Meng Yuxin was a little dazed. He didn't expect Qiuhe to think so much about him, because he hadn't considered what Qiuhe said until now. "You have a heart." Meng Yuxin was very pleased. He had been in the palace for so many years, and Qiu He had always been someone he trusted. He was very grateful to Qiu He for thinking about him.

Meng Yuxin has always resisted thinking about the future, not because he doesn't plan for himself, but because he doesn't know how to plan.When Jiang Ming said to let him go back to Nanchu, he was very moved, but Jiang Ming took it back.Meng Yuxin couldn't let go of his etiquette, and followed Jiang Xuan's wish to be with Jiang Xuan. He couldn't bear other people's pointing and pointing, and he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

The road ahead seemed to be covered by a thick fog, and she couldn't see the direction at all. The more Meng Yuxin thought about it, the more headache she had, and she simply gave up thinking about it.

At noon the next day, Meng Yuxin brought Qiuhe to the city wall. Many people gathered outside the Meridian Gate. Looking down from above, they could only see dense figures moving around.All the rebels were escorted to kneel in front of the Meridian Gate. They were all dressed in white prison uniforms. Meng Yuxin saw that there were as many as a hundred of them.

Such a serious crime as rebellion is rarely seen once every few years. People in the capital all came to join in the fun, and the surrounding people also rushed to the capital after hearing the news.

Meng Yuxin looked at Jiang Xuan who was standing in the center of the tower, and then sadly looked away. Jiang Xuan looked indifferent, as if he hadn't seen him at all.Meng Yuxin felt that she should have a talk with Jiang Xuan, but now Jiang Xuan is different from the past, surrounded by princes and ministers, it is not easy for him.

Soon it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the scorching sun blinded Meng Yuxin. He blocked the sun with his sleeve and watched the executioner take his place, ready to carry out the execution.Meng Yuxin saw Empress Zheng being held in the front, her noble temperament was gone, and there were rotten vegetables thrown by the onlookers on her body.Lu Yan knelt behind Zheng Empress, his old figure was even more dejected, like an old man who was dying.

Under Jiang Xuan's cold order, the executioner waved the big knife in his hand, and the square outside the Meridian Gate was stained red with blood.

Meng Yuxin turned his back in pain, the dazzling red almost made him vomit: "Qiu He, let's go." Saying that, Meng Yuxin didn't want to stay any longer, and went directly to the tower.

When they came to the foot of the tower, Meng Yuxin saw the imperial guards rushing over, and found that this man was very familiar, he was the guard guarding Jiang Ming's bedroom.Meng Yuxin stopped him: "What happened?"

"Xiuyi, the emperor has woken up, and I have summoned you and the third prince to go over."

Meng Yuxin nodded: "I'll go right away." Meng Yuxin couldn't help but quicken her pace, feeling that this might be the last time he saw Jiang Ming.
