Since the upright and upright Prime Minister Sang Chaoli was killed, some upright and loyal ministers became a little disheartened, and Duan Wang Helian Duanyan became their only hope.

But it has been nearly half a month, and I haven't seen Helian Duanyan in the early court, and I can't see anyone when I visit the palace. Helian Duanyan seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

Soon, there were various rumors in the court and among the people. Some said that because this king was the most popular candidate for the crown prince, he was assassinated, or that the king was willing to give up the position of crown prince to Xuan Wang. Helian Duancheng, there are also rumors that because the former prime minister was beheaded by King Duan himself, the daughter of the prime minister was also killed by Princess Duan...

All kinds of rumors are rampant, no one knows the truth, and the only person in Prince Duan's mansion who may know the truth is all silent.

After this incident, the situation in the DPRK changed dramatically. Most of the ministers began to support Xuan Wang Helian Duancheng openly and secretly, but some honest and loyal ministers were still unwilling to join him, and tried their best to support the Gan Wang Helian Duanqian who came back from Ling'er.

But the king, Helian Duangan, unfortunately contracted a serious illness on the way back to the imperial court, and his health continued to deteriorate.

As far as this prince is located in Helian Duancheng, it seems that he is within reach.

Undercurrents surged inside and outside the court hall, but in front of the Duanwang Mansion, there was a peaceful and tranquil scene.

There were still only two guards guarding the gate of the palace, and everyone in the palace was doing their own duties as usual.

At this moment, in Yun Yanxuan's bedroom, Ruyu looked at Sang Qingyi who suddenly opened her eyes faintly, and she burst into tears, she couldn't believe it when she was excited.

"Miss, miss, are you finally awake?"

Sang Qingyi looked at the top of the bed curtain in a daze as if she hadn't heard of it.She had a dream, a very long dream, in which there were father, mother, and that person.Sang Qingyi dreamed that they lived together in a poetic and picturesque place, with mountains and water, flowers and grass, and the most important thing was to have each other.

Every morning, she is the first person she sees when she wakes up, and she is the last person she sees when she is deeply asleep at night.

At sunrise, enjoy the morning glow with her like a brocade, and at sunset, accompany her to watch the sunset like fire.

The spring breeze is blowing, and the flowers are blooming hand in hand. The summer is scorching, and they play with each other on the bank of the cool stream. The autumn leaves are yellow, and the leaves are falling.

Over time, throughout the year, with you in my life, I will be perfect forever.

However, the beautiful years always pass by with a snap of the fingers, and in the blink of an eye, she has to face such a dilemma.

On the left is the loving smile of the parents, looking at each other earnestly, and on the right is the person's affectionate eyes, gentle and tender, but there is a bottomless gap between them, which means that once a choice is made, the other party is abandoned.

Sang Qingyi hesitated on the spot for a long time, but finally walked towards what she wanted, and then woke up from the dream...

Seeing that Sang Qingyi was about to get up, Ruyu quickly reached out to help her sit up.

"Miss finally woke up, almost scared Yu'er to death", Ru Yu said and wanted to shed tears again.

Sang Qingyi stared at her eyes that were red like rain with some erratic eyes. Jade Soul Powder was prepared by her before she married into the palace, and it was a poison with no cure.

"Yu'er, why am I still here?"

Ru Yu was a little confused by the question, "Miss, you have been staying in this Yunyan Pavilion since Miss Yuyin sent you back home."

Hearing this, Sang Qingyi frowned slightly, "Yuyin? Did Yuyin detoxify the poison on my body?".

Ru Yu shook her head, "Yu'er doesn't know, the prince took you away from the mansion after Miss's accident, and it was not until three days ago that Miss Yuyin sent Miss back to the mansion."

"Three days ago?" Sang Qingyi murmured, "Then how long have I been in a coma?"

"Miss, you have been in a coma for thirteen days, almost scaring Yu'er to death."

Sang Qingyi didn't expect that she would be in a coma for almost half a month, "Then...Where is the prince?"

"I don't know", Ru Yu frowned and said, "Since taking Miss that day, Yu'er has never seen the prince again."

Seeing that Sang Qingyi was about to get up and get out of bed, Ruyu quickly stopped her, "Miss, Miss Yuyin said that you can't get out of bed yet, you need to rest on the bed."

Sang Qingyi is no longer persistent, and more importantly, she has no strength now.

"Then you go and ask Miss Yuyin to come over"

"Miss Yuyin is not in the mansion right now"

Seeing doubts on Sang Qingyi's face, Ruyu hurriedly said, "Miss Yuyin left after sending Miss back to the mansion. Yu'er hasn't seen her in the past few days."

Without Helian Duan Inkstone and Yuyin, the Duanwang Mansion is like a pool of stagnant water.

And Sang Qingyi seemed to have returned to the time when she first entered the palace, she said very little and stayed in the room for a long time.

The only difference is that from time to time, I will stand in front of the window, staring at the entrance of the backyard in a daze.

Although Sang Qingyi's body has improved, she still looks weak. Maybe it's because Yuhun powder is too poisonous, and her heart is worried.

It has been the third day since waking up, but there is still no sign of that person.

Is it because I blamed myself for abandoning her, so I avoided seeing her?Or was he afraid that he would see her remember the painful things, so he avoided her?or what happened...

Sang Qingyi was in a trance when Ruyu hurried in suddenly.

"Miss, the king, he passed away"

King Qian passed away suddenly, Princess Qingyue couldn't accept this blow for a while and fell ill.

Looking at Qingyue who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, Sang Qingyi suddenly thought that when she chose to leave, Helian Duanyan probably looked like this.

When the one you love is not in this world, life is indeed worse than death.

Sang Qingyi suddenly regretted that she shouldn't 'punish' that person like this.

Although she never had any words of resentment towards that person, her actions were the deepest complaints against that person.

Sang Qingyi knew that that person had already deeply blamed herself in her heart, and she was so decisive later on, that person might not be able to forgive herself even more.

Sang Qingyi suddenly felt flustered, and wanted to see that person right now, but the sky and the earth are big, where should she go to find that person?But more importantly, at this moment, she can't go anywhere.

Now that such a big event happened in Prince Qian's Mansion, and that person is not around, she must help.

Concubine Gan fell ill, and the funeral was handed over to the side concubine Luobai to take care of it, but fortunately Helian Duanyan helped to take care of it.

Sang Qingyi and Huashang accompanied Qingyue together, and took care of the five-year-old little prince Hongyan.

Qingyue insisted on going to the mourning hall, but Sang Qingyi and Huashang had no choice but to order someone to help them go.

"Where love comes, life and death go hand in hand," Hua Chang said suddenly, and then looked sideways at Sang Qingyi, "She is always lucky, just like you."

Sang Qingyi looked at Hua Chang's dim eyes, "You too".

Hua Chang just smiled and said nothing.She doesn't know whether she is lucky or unlucky, she should be lucky if she can meet the person she likes, but it is unfortunate that the person she likes doesn't have her in his heart. However, even if she has someone else in her heart, now Her husband still treats her sincerely, he must be lucky.

For Helian Duanyan, Hua Chang was indeed grateful in his heart, but he was not moved.

After all, they didn't get along for a long time. After their wedding, Helian Duanyan immediately went to the border and returned to Beijing in a few days.

"It's been a while since I saw her, where did she go?" Hua Chang asked suddenly.

Sang Qingyi was silent for a moment, then shook her head slightly.

"Are you arguing?"

Seeing that Sang Qingyi didn't speak, she just frowned and looked into the distance.

"Knowing that you can't do it, but you still have to do it. This is the helplessness of being in the emperor's house. You can't help yourself, you and me." Hua Chang said and looked up into the distance, "She must have tried her best. One point, you should know better than me."

After a while, I heard Sang Qingyi sigh softly, "I know".

There was a burst of crying, and the two raised their heads when they heard the sound, and saw a little guy crying and ran into the study next to him, followed by two maids chasing after him, shouting, "Little lord, little lord".

"You all step back," Hua Chang said to the servant girl.

"Yes"

When Sang Qingyi walked into the study, she saw a small man running to the bookshelf.

"Hey, I want my father, my father"

Seeing that Sang Qingyi and Huashang were about to get closer, she turned her back to face them, crying even more fiercely.

"Hongyan, it's Aunt Qingyi and Aunt Huashang," Sang Qingyi said softly.

The little guy turned his head slowly, but quickly shrank back into the corner when he saw the two of them. At this moment, the bookshelf suddenly moved to the right side with a click.

Fortunately, Sang Qingyi hugged Hongyan away first at that moment, and when she looked up again, she saw a scroll of paintings hanging in the recess of the wall, and in the painting was the person she had always been thinking about.

The person in the painting is dressed in white, standing with his hands behind his back, his chin raised slightly, and his brows raised, like a young man who is flamboyant and handsome.

From the expression on the face of the person in the painting, it is enough to see the skills and intentions of the person who made the painting.

Hua Chang was also fascinated, but neither of them said a word, but a hint of understanding appeared in the depths of their eyes, as if they suddenly understood many things.

Suddenly, Hua Chang took down the painting.

"you"

Sang Qingyi watched as Huashang randomly took a scroll of paintings from the bookshelf and hung them up.

"For the living, some things are better never known"

Three days later, at the time of the funeral, Helian Duanyan finally appeared, standing outside Qianwang's mansion, watching the coffin being carried out.

At that time, Sang Qingyi, who was standing in the front hall of Prince Qian's Mansion, just looked at her not too far away.

Half a month later, Helian Duanyan lost a lot of weight and haggarded a lot, his face looked a little pale, but his back was still straight.

Sang Qingyi and Helian Duanyan did not have the chance to face each other, because Helian Duanyan was in front of the coffin, and Sang Qingyi supported Qingyue's coffin.

After the burial, Sang Qingyi was sent back to the palace by Lisi, but Helian Duanyan was not seen.

It wasn't until Haishi that Sang Qingyi saw Helian Duanyan who walked into the backyard with Yuyin from the half-closed window.

Helian Duanyan went straight to the door of Yun Yanxuan, but didn't turn around, and stood there for a long time before raising his hand and knocking on the door.

With just one sound, the door opened from the inside, and the moment he raised his head, his eyes met.

This time, it was Helian Duanyan who took the initiative to look away first.

"How does the body feel"

Sang Qingyi looked at Helian Duanyan's slightly cold side face, "There is no serious problem".

"That's good." After saying that, Helian Duanyan turned around and left.

"and many more"

Helian Duanyan stopped when he heard the words, but didn't look back.

"you"

Before Sang Qingyi finished speaking, Helian Duanyan replied, "I'm fine, don't worry."

The door next door creaked shut, and a gust of wind blew up, perhaps summer was coming, and the air was filled with a sense of stuffiness.

That night, Sang Qingyi still didn't sleep well. She didn't know if it was a dream or reality, but she always felt that she could faintly hear a cough.

I always felt uneasy in my heart, so I got up early, only to find that there was no one in the next room, and it turned out that I had gone to court early.

When I turned around, I saw Yuyin who was about to go out, and nodded slightly, "Morning, Yuyin."

"Morning princess", Yuyin said, walking towards Sang Qingyi suddenly, "How is princess feeling now?"

"It's much better now, there's Lao Yuyin"

Yuyin withdrew her hand to diagnose the pulse, "This is Yuyin's job, if there is nothing else, Yuyin will leave first."

Seeing Yuyin turning around and about to leave, Sang Qingyi couldn't help but said, "Wait".

Yuyin turned around, and heard Sang Qingyi say, "During these days, Yan she...is okay".

Yuyin raised her eyes and looked directly into Sang Qingyi's eyes, "If the princess is well, the Lord will be well."

The return of Helian Duanyan made all the upright and loyal officials in the court feel gratified.

However, Helian Zhengde was deeply displeased that Helian Duanyan did not go to court for more than half a month without reason, and he couldn't help reprimanding him in words.

Helian Duanyan was calm, so he accepted it and listened.

But not long after, Cao Gang, the deputy general of the southern army, suddenly played, saying that Duan Wang Helian Duanyan had an affair with Zhao Guo. , put him to death in vain.

When Emperor Xuande heard this, his brows sank slightly, "If you openly frame the prince's relatives, you will be punished by Ling Chi."

Cao Gang fell to his knees, "I dare not speak falsely to bully my superiors. The two serious crimes mentioned just now are all evidenced by letters, which were intercepted by my minister when he went to the border to resolve the confrontation between Zhao and the Kingdom."

As soon as this remark came out, some other upright courtiers immediately raised objections. A prime minister was punished before, and now he is repeating the same plan to bring down the prestigious King Duan. Li, Your Majesty must not believe such one-sided words.

Surprisingly, some courtiers who supported Xuan Wang Helian Duancheng also echoed these words, but in the end they found that the real purpose was to put Helian Duanyan to death, but they said in a high-sounding way, "But this The matter is related to the safety of our dynasty, for the sake of prudence, it is better for His Majesty to send someone to investigate thoroughly."

Each insisted on their own words and continued to argue, Helian Zhengde's face became a little gloomy, he coughed heavily, and the hall immediately became silent.

Helian Zhengde turned to look at Helian Duancheng who had been silent all this time, "What does King Xuan think about this matter?"

Helian Duancheng took a step to the side, "I have also read the letter Mr. Cao said, but I don't believe that the eleventh brother will do so, but for the sake of prudence, I secretly sent someone to investigate the matter , and told Mr. Cao not to mention this matter for the time being, but unexpectedly Mr. Cao is so loyal to my Dayan."

"What did you find out?"

Helian Duancheng seemed to hesitate, Emperor Xuande frowned and said, "Just speak the truth."

"Returning to my father, after careful investigation by my son and minister, what was said in the letter is all the truth."

As soon as Helian Duancheng said this, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

Some ministers pointed out that the matter is of great importance, and conclusive evidence is needed, and we must not act hastily.

Emperor Xuande looked at Helian Duancheng again, "What evidence is there?"

"Going back to my father, my minister has witnesses, and she can prove this."

"Who is it? Immediately announce it to this hall"

"Children obey the will"

When the witness that Helian Duancheng said entered the hall, everyone was shocked. It was actually Princess Zhaoguo Huashang, the current concubine of His Royal Highness King Hong.

"See father," Hua Chang knelt down and saluted.

"Hua Chang, just now King Xuan said that you can prove what happened to King Duan, is it true?"

Huashang first glanced at Helian Duanyan, and then at Helian Duancheng, "Yes".

Many ministers were shocked when they heard this, but Helian Duanyan was extremely calm.

Emperor Xuande stared at Helian Duanyan deeply, and took the letter that the chief eunuch took from Helian Duancheng.

"Hua Shang dares to swear by Zhao Guo that everything said in the letter is true"

As soon as Huashang spoke, Emperor Xuande, who was reading the letter, suddenly had blue veins on his face, as if he was extremely angry but suppressed it.

But I heard Huashang continue to say, "Zhaoguo and Yanguo have a marriage friendship, but this time the war broke out because someone colluded with Huashang's second brother, suggesting that he deliberately provoked a war to help him eradicate dissidents and inherit the throne. , and this person is the current King Xuan..."

The letter that Emperor Xuande read was a secret letter of collaborating with the Zhao Kingdom, but what the collaborator was talking about was not Duan Wang Helian Duanyan, but Xuan Wang Helian Duancheng.

This sudden reversal was also unexpected by Helian Duancheng. He had clearly read the letter and kept it carefully all the time. Why did it suddenly become evidence of his collaborating with the enemy? !

But it was clearly written in black and white, and all the ministers witnessed it with their own eyes. Emperor Xuande had no choice but to order a search of Prince Xuan's mansion.

Everything is like Prime Minister Sang Chaoli’s case of treason. The secret letters between Helian Duancheng and the second prince of Zhaoguo were found in the Xuanwang Mansion. Both the handwriting and the seal are consistent. The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied. Helian Duancheng is responsible. Even if locked up and taken to jail.

Everything happened so fast that Emperor Xuande and King Xuan's henchmen were caught off guard, and it was almost impossible to help him turn around.

After Helian Duancheng was locked up and sent to prison, all his trusted ministers were secretly sent into the palace by Emperor Xuande, and they didn't leave the palace until dark.

Not long after those ministers left, an eunuch came to report, "Prince Duan asked to see him."

Helian Zhengde frowned and said, "I don't see, what's the matter for her to report to the court tomorrow morning."

"See Father Emperor".Helian Zhengde raised his head suddenly when he heard the sound, but saw Helian Duanyan standing in the hall.

"Didn't I say that I will report back tomorrow?" Helian Zhengde's voice was full of displeasure.

He Lian Duanyan raised his head, "I have nothing important to report, I just want to see my father."

"I saw it now, let's go out!"

But Helian Duanyan did not move, Helian Zhengde's eyes suddenly became sharp, "How dare you resist the order!".

"Father wants to punish his son and minister for the crime of disobedience, and then releases the sixth brother, or does he want to discuss with Emperor Zhao, so as to clear him of the name of collaborating with the enemy?!"

"Presumptuous!", Helian Zhengde jumped up instantly, "This world is still mine!".

"This world belongs to the people of the world!", but Helian Duanyan was louder than him, "Father has sacrificed so many lives for such an illusory obsession in his heart, not to mention, now he is going to ruin Dayan again!" Is it a century-old country?!".

"Bold! Someone, let me arrest him!"

After waiting for a while, but no one came in, Helian Zhengde was so angry that his lips were trembling, "Come here!!!".

"Father, don't waste any more energy, no one will come in," Helian Duanyan said lightly.

"Are you going to kill your father and force the palace?!"

"No," Helian Duanyan looked into Helian Zhengde's furious eyes, "This kind of thing that destroys conscience is absolutely impossible for my son. I just want to chat with my father, since my mother and concubine and Jing After my aunt passed away, my son-in-law and my father never had a long conversation."

Helian Zhengde quickly regained his composure and sat down on the dragon couch.

"Father is busy with state affairs, and he has no time to be with his ministers like before, or is it now that the father feels that there is no need to pretend to love his ministers anymore?!".

Helian Zhengde raised his eyelids slightly to look at Helian Duanyan, but did not speak.

"Back then, the reason why Concubine Zhen was buried in the sea of ​​flames was because she accidentally knocked over the candle after she fell asleep. In fact, the father knew it well, but still bestowed the innocent former queen and concubine Yu to death."

"After the death of Concubine Zhen, in order to ensure that the sixth brother can grow up smoothly and inherit the throne of the father in the future, the father deliberately spread the news that the death of the concubine Zhen was related to the sixth brother, so as to let him avoid the barrenness of the northwest place".

"As the Sixth Brother gradually grew up, the Father began to clear the way for him to ascend the throne. The hostility between the Third Brother and the Fifth Brother, as well as the favor that the children received later, were all part of the Father's plan. ".

Speaking of this, Helian Duanyan couldn't help smiling sadly.

"We are all your own flesh and blood, even if you want the sixth brother to succeed to the throne, why do you have to put us to death! Really, there is no family affection in the emperor's house!".

Helian Zhengde looked up at Helian Duanyan, "A king must be able to do what ordinary people cannot do."

Helian Duanyan's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Is it killing his wife and son?!".

"Concubine Jing was poisoned by your fifth brother, and has nothing to do with me!"

"Only Fifth Brother and I know about this matter, how did Royal Father know about it?!"

Helian Zhengde was just silent and didn't speak, but Helian Duanyan began to lose control.

"That's because the culprit of all this is you, Father! In fact, you have already discovered the relationship between Concubine Mother and Aunt Jing. You were very angry, but you didn't blame them because you thought of a better This strategy can not only kill Concubine Mu and Aunt Jing, but also make me and Fifth Brother turn against each other and kill each other!".

Helian Zhengde just drank his tea calmly, and listened to Helian Duanyan continue, "A few years ago, when the fifth brother found out about the mother concubine and Aunt Jing, it was also planned by you. He was summoned to Aunt Jing's Palace, and then asked to dismiss the maids and guards, so that he accidentally heard about the two of them!".

Helian Zhengde slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, "They are all my beloved concubines, but they did such unethical and nasty things without telling me, how can I forgive them! It was I who put them in the first place. After being redeemed from the brothel, I thought they treated me sincerely, but how did they repay me!".

"Don't talk about yourself being so great. Isn't the reason why you redeemed Aunt Jing at the beginning because Aunt Jing looks a bit like that Concubine Zhen?! They gave you their best years Is it not enough to repay your favor by having children for you?!".

"How can it be possible! I am the emperor and their husband. They should be loyal to me in their entire lives, not cheating me or playing tricks on me!".

"Then when have you been loyal to them again! There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and they are only remembered occasionally. What's more, from the beginning to the end, you were the one who intervened between the mother concubine and Aunt Jing, and you took away Mother Concubine!".

"presumptuous!!!"

"Emperor, wake up"

Helian Zhengde raised his head upon hearing the sound, but saw Shangguan Ziyi walking in...

Three days later, Emperor Xuande issued an imperial decree, making Helian Duanyan the crown prince, who will start supervising the country from now on.
