Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

But it was too late.

The sword's edge pierced through the air and slashed into Feng Yuan's neck.Blood splattered, sputtering onto Feng Jian's face and eyes.

The two guards holding Feng Yuan didn't respond, they looked at him calmly.Feng Yuan was already in pain and bowed his head, his eyes were wide open, and he squinted at him weakly and viciously.

Feng Jian's footsteps were flimsy, she took a step back, and quickly pulled herself together, shouting sharply: "Don't pretend, I know you're not Brother Sanhuang!"

As the voice faded away, Feng Zhang sighed in surprise and regret: "Eighth Brother, you... hey, why bother?"

Feng Jian's heart fell into an abyss.

Feng Zhang scolded: "Why are you still standing there? Find the doctor quickly! Go to the palace, find the imperial physician, hurry up!"

The two guards let go and walked away in silence.Feng Yuan fell to the ground, blood gushed out continuously with his breathing, forming a pool of blood on the ground.

It is estimated that Feng Yuan will die as soon as the two imperial guards arrive at the gate of the palace.

Not saved.

People's words are good when they are about to die, Feng Yuan lay on the ground, raised his head unwillingly, and stared straight at Wei Mingcheng.Wei Mingcheng stared at him blankly, his eye circles gradually turned red, he opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

Then he walked towards Feng Yuan step by step, and slowly knelt beside Feng Yuan.

Feng Jian held her breath and slowly backed away.

Feng Yuan still kept his eyes open, his chest gradually became flat, and there was no movement.With trembling hands, Wei Mingcheng grabbed Feng Yuan's collar and pulled it violently——

A red mole is impressively in sight.

Feng Jian's eyes darkened.

He knew he was done for.

Colluded with courtiers, secretly explored the sky prison, and even killed a prince with his own hands.

Even if he survived, Shun would not tolerate a man who killed his siblings to be emperor.

Feng Jian also sat down with a dull expression, allowing Wei Mingcheng to rush over and beat and scold.

It's all over, gone...

-

First separate Fengjian from the mad Wei Mingcheng, and then take Fengjian to the prison, waiting for the emperor to send him off.

After taking care of everything, it was already midnight, Fengzhang didn't rush back home to rest, but asked Gui Yi: "Did Nianzhi ever go back home?"

Before returning to the Great Commander, he was dressed as a guard and hid in the crowd.There was no need to pretend at this time, so he rode another horse and followed Feng Zhang.

He summoned his men to ask, and shook his head at Feng Zhang.

Xie Gui hadn't returned yet at this time.

Feng Zhang was slightly puzzled, and wanted to go back home, but finally turned in the direction of the palace.

There were many more people in the palace than usual tonight, Fengzhang went to the emperor's bedroom, but learned that Shengjia was still in Chaolu Palace.

When Eunuch Min talked to him, his expression was the same as usual.Feng Zhang frowned, feeling something was wrong.

Someone is following Eunuch Min.

Eunuch Min was under surveillance, but he didn't have the slightest suspicion or resistance. It could only be that person's arrangement.

Feng Zhang already had some calculations in his heart, so he followed Eunuch Min to Chaolu Palace quietly.

Chaolu Palace is brightly lit, which is very different from usual.Feng Zhang raised his eyebrows and stepped in.

The first thing he saw was the person kneeling in front of the imperial case.

The man's kneeling posture was like the lights in the palace, motionless.His head was slightly lowered, and no expression could be seen from behind.

Feng Zhang was relieved first, then strode to the imperial case, and saluted the emperor: "Father, everything is done."

As early as when Feng Jian cut Feng Yuan, the emperor received the news.At this time, when he got his son's report, he just replied indifferently: "I know all about it."

Feng Zhang said: "The eighth brother said he wanted to see you."

"I will give him a chance." The emperor said lightly, "Otherwise, it will only appear that my father is too ruthless."

Feng Zhang calmly listened to the following.Sure enough, the emperor still had something to say: "Actually, they are all my good sons. It's just that I am an emperor first, and my father second. I can only blame them for being born into the emperor's family and not having a suitable mother."

His tone of voice was particularly wrong today, Feng Zhang heard that there was something in his words, so he was not in a hurry to speak up.

The emperor did not intend to let him go.

"Awesome, what do you think, this is the way of the king?"

Feng Zhang bowed, "Father, my sons and ministers think that governing a big country is like cooking a small dish."

The emperor nodded, "That's right. For example, the one next to you, if it were you, how would you deal with it?"

Feng Zhang's heart skipped a beat.

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

"Follow your father's teachings."

The emperor chuckled, "When you grow up, your wings become stiff, so you play tricks with me. Tell me honestly, can you have a part in sneaking into the Chaolu Palace to poison you?"

Eunuch Min's heart was in his throat.

Feng Zhang said in a deep voice, "Yes."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"Just because," Feng Zhang said very calmly, "I am a minister first, and then my son. I am afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, and things will change. My son became ruthless and did this thing. But considering his father Huanglong body, my son chose the safest way."

The emperor looked at him quietly, "Su Ran has really grown up."

"Father's praise."

The emperor suddenly let out a long sigh, "If you beg for mercy today, I have to think about whether I should give you the seat of the Eastern Palace."

"You are the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and you are a lonely family. If you are hesitant and ruthless, I will never dare to hand over this Great Shun to you."

"My son remembers."

"Now that you know, go back quickly. It's late at night."

Feng Zhang didn't move, "Report to Emperor Father, my son wants to take Xie Gui away."

"Why?" The emperor smiled.

"The two great gentry clans have just been damaged, and the court must have been seriously injured. At this time, the Xie family must be stabilized."

Xie Gui didn't seem to hear, and kept his head down, unable to see his expression.

"Stable Xie's family is not the only way to take him back. If you really want to wipe out the power of the gentry, the Xie family, which is firmly seated at the top, must be cut down. You can promote two worthless direct descendants, and this is too powerful. Yes, you don't have to stay."

……Keep?

Feng Zhang subconsciously turned the jade finger.

"I knew that you were not responsible for the poisoning. In the yard of Xie's house, the remaining poisonous powder has been found. Xie Gui also took it upon himself. Seriously, there is nothing wrong with you going back now."

Feng Zhang nodded slightly, "I just want to hear the cause and effect."

The emperor stood up, exerting invisible coercion, but Feng Zhang remained motionless.

"You never instructed, but Xie Gui is good at making arrangements. A knife is a good knife, but a knife that is too smart may not be easy to use." The emperor said coldly, "This time, he can sneak into Chaolu Palace and poison me , what will be the next time? It will directly kill me?"

Feng Zhang didn't argue, and the emperor stretched his brows slightly.

"I'm getting old, the East Palace, and even this Chaolu Palace, is yours after all. But whether you can control your subjects, and whether you will let Chao Gang fall into the hands of powerful officials, I'm still thinking...I've been thinking about it."

The emperor said to Mr. Min: "Bring it up."

Eunuch Min waved his whisk, and a small waiter came in with a tray, head down, and stood beside Feng Zhang.

There is a small porcelain bottle on the tray.

Feng Zhang raised his eyebrows, "Father, this is..."

Could it be that Xie Gui... was poisoned to death?

As soon as this idea came up, Feng Zhang was shocked to feel that his back was covered with cold sweat.

However, his face remained calm, and the emperor saw it, and his tone softened a little:

"Whether this son is saved or not, it is up to you to decide. If you don't save him, just go out. Tomorrow I will tell Xie Yong that his eldest son has been given to death because of his disobedience. Wei, Sheng After the two families, I will level up the Xie family again, and after you take over the government, you can take turns to clean it up, as you wish."

"If you want to save him, feed him the antidote. I will bear the Xie family's grievances and have nothing to do with you."

The hall was dead silent.

After a long time, Feng Zhang sighed: "Royal father, the Xie family will not be able to move in a short while. Besides, the royal father and the Xie family have long agreed that at this time, death and thanks will be returned, and there will be troubles in the future. How can I win their trust?"

He picked up the medicine bottle, uncorked the bottle, and pinched Xie Gui's chin again, his thumb trembling slightly.

Feng Zhang finally saw Xie Gui's face.

There was already a blue-gray lifelessness on his handsome face.His eyes were lifeless, his lips were jet-black, when Feng Zhang moved his fingers, a very thin wisp of black blood flowed from the corner of his lips, dripping slowly to the ground.

Feng Zhang's heart ached.

If he hadn't entered the palace tonight, if he had dealt with the Wei and Sheng families a little later, would he never see Xie Gui again.

I will never see his thoughtful and eloquent Nianzhi again.

Feng Zhang didn't know how much effort he had to keep his hands from shaking.He was extremely careful, and poured all the antidote into Xie Gui's mouth, not a single drop was left.

He summoned two servants, escorted Xie Gui away, and then said to the emperor: "Your servant will leave."

After Fengzhang left, the emperor looked out of the palace gate in a daze, until the wind blew in and he coughed a few times before regaining his senses.

"Have people gone far?"

He asked, and Eunuch Min stood in a corner of the hall, and said respectfully, "Return to Your Majesty, this old slave arranged two soft sedan chairs for His Highness and Mr. Xie, and sent them directly to Prince Yan's Mansion."

The emperor let out a low laugh, coughed again, and then heaved a long sigh: "This time, I don't even want to go to the garden to see some flowers."

Eunuch Min persuaded: "Why did father and son have an overnight feud? His Majesty wants to go, His Royal Highness King Yan will not refuse."

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Min, "Dare he?"

King Yan's Mansion was once the property of Empress Zheng. In spring, there were many flowers blooming inside, and the emperor and empress used to call it the garden.The queen has been gone for so many years, but the emperor's habits have not changed.

The emperor coughed for a while, and asked, "Have you used the poison you found from the Wei family before?"

He was talking about the poison that Fengzhang had been poisoned before.Eunuch Min sighed secretly, "It's also used."

The emperor's eyes were dark: "I guessed that he would definitely detoxify, but I would rather hate me in awe than let Xie Jiazi hinder his imperial career... Whatever, let him hate."
