Huang Daxian is also working hard today to repay his kindness

??The next day, in the prince's mansion, the prince was sitting in the study with a gloomy face, and there were several confidantes standing below, but those people's faces were not very good-looking.

?? "Helan China lost? The prince asked coldly.

?? A layer of cold sweat dripped from the forehead of the leader below, and he replied cautiously: "I heard that he is not dead yet, so he escaped in the middle of the night when the guards were lax, but it is impossible to do anything again in a short time. gone."

?? Hearing this, the prince's face turned livid, and he stood up abruptly and swept all the pen holders and inkstones on the table to the ground. Those people couldn't help but tremble slightly in fright.

"Trash! They are all trash! The barbarians are really unreliable! You are all trash. I asked you to contain the third child in the court, but how did you do it? You didn't stop any of his new decrees. Didn’t he send it to the six ministries of the three provinces, and now the cabinet papers have been approved, and the whole country is grateful to him, so where will this palace be placed?!”

??He was so angry that his arms began to tremble, and he threw all the drafts on the table on those people. Not only that, but he also smashed things in the room like a madman.

??His confidantes were silent like cicadas, and carefully hid aside. Looking at the prince who was so furious, he felt that he was becoming more and more perverse and out of control.

??Let’s not say that the previous prince never got angry easily, and even his emotions were invisible. Even if he was really angry, he would never show it. He would only give a fatal blow when he did it.

?? But the current prince is furious, cursing, and throwing everything he can see like a shrew. With such a vicious and tyrannical appearance, he is about to lose his sanity as a human being.

??After a long time, the prince finally calmed down. He seemed to have finally come to his senses. Looking around, he saw a mess all over the place, and those confidants who followed him in the end were also scared and hid in the distance. His face was pale and he dared not speak.

??His eyes flickered, his face darkened, and finally asked with a suppressed voice: "Where is the person I asked you to find?"

??The person who spoke before hesitated for a moment, looked at his face, and replied very carefully.

?? "We sent someone to go to Mount Qingcheng, but the mountain gate there is closed, and no outsiders can be seen at all. There is nothing we can do about it, and the Baili Taoist priest who disappeared before is neither alive nor dead..."

??His voice became smaller and smaller, until finally he stopped moving before he knew it. The prince lowered his eyes and said nothing, which caused these people to become more and more nervous. They didn't know when he would suddenly get angry again.

But what they didn't expect was that after a long time, the prince sighed, sat down again, and just waved his hands towards them.

?? "Forget it, you all go back, pay attention on the road, don't let people find that you have been to the Prince's Mansion."

??All the people under his command breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed to him and then withdrew, leaving only the prince sitting alone in the study.

?? After another half hour, the princess knocked on the door of the study, holding a bowl of warm white fungus and lotus seed soup in her hand.

?? "Your Highness, you haven't eaten at noon. You can't bear it anymore. Eat something..."

??The prince raised his eyes, and saw that although the princess's words were still gentle, there was a bit of panic and fear in her eyes.

??Ever since he almost strangled the Crown Princess to death that night, everyone has looked at him with such care and fear since then.

?? "What are you afraid of?" The prince looked at the princess with a blank expression, and asked quietly.

"Is it because I am afraid that Bengong will lose his mind and kill you?"

??The Crown Princess shook her hands, almost spilling the contents of the bowl, her pretty face paled, and she forced a smile.

"Your Highness, don't be so suspicious. You are just suffering from hysteria. The imperial physician has given you a soothing prescription. As long as you take it for another period, you will naturally recover from your illness. When the time comes to rule the world and protect your body with dragon energy, you will naturally not There are no more problems."

??The prince sneered, the corners of his mouth were full of mockery, he didn't know whether he was laughing at her words or himself.

?? King of the world?Now I don't wake up for half an hour every day. If it weren't for the talisman paper given by Qin Yuanhua, I'm afraid I would have become a real madman. The throne is in front of me, but I can't sit on it.

??The third prince of the court is now the prince regent, holding military and political power, and Qin Zhang helps him stabilize the border. Who is still his opponent?

??Although as long as he is still alive, the third prince cannot legitimately inherit the throne, but how long can this situation last?

??The prince is very clear that the third prince will not do anything to him personally, because it will give him a notorious reputation as a murderer. The third prince compromised.

??At that time, no one will care whether I live or die...

?? "Zi Xin, you have been taking care of me since I was sick. You haven't entered the palace for a long time to pay your respects to your mother, right?"

??The prince suddenly turned his eyes to the surprised princess, showing a smile that hadn't appeared for a long time.

?? "Great victory at the border. On New Year's Eve, my third younger brother will have a palace banquet to celebrate. Bring something today and go visit the queen mother for me."

?? The crown princess was full of doubts. She didn't understand why the prince let herself into the palace at this time, but before she could ask anything, the prince handed something into her hand. She looked down at the paper wrapped in oiled paper. A deep sense of horror and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

?? So they have only this way...

??Three days later, on the night of New Year's Eve, the good news from the frontier was finally rushed and delivered to the palace at the most critical time. There is a sense of elation and refreshment.

??Because it is still in the period of national mourning, it is inappropriate to sing and dance, but the ministers also understand that this kind of victory is not easy to come by, and it has extraordinary significance for stabilizing the hearts of the people in the world, so when the third prince decided to hold a banquet to celebrate, he did not People object.

?? Some people felt a little strange in their hearts. After all, the army had not returned to the court at this time, and the chief general Qin Zhang had not returned. The third prince wanted to celebrate, was it too hasty?

?? It's just that it's the New Year's Eve festival. A group of them will celebrate first. After Qin Zhang and the others come back, they will prepare a celebration banquet again. There's nothing wrong with that.

??The palace, which had been deserted for a long time, finally became lively again. Although there were not many songs, dances and music, the people coming and going were no longer desolate.

??The former empress Liu has now become an empress, sitting high and tall at the top, while the third prince, Chu Ningyuan, is sitting beside him.

?? It's just that the queen at this time seems to have more traces of time than before, and there is not much joy in her eyes. Although her face has not changed, she has a lot of gray hair on her temples.

??Everyone is well aware of this. After all, the crown prince is the eldest son born to the empress. Now he is suffering from illness, and the power has been left behind. , and this is just powerless.

?? When the banquet was halfway through, the Third Prince glanced at the Empress indiscriminately, and slightly curled his lips, but his eyes were a bit cold.

??The emotions hidden in the eyes, like the river water in winter, slowly condensed and precipitated, and finally turned into dark ice with an invisible bottom.

?? He glanced at the ministers sitting below, drank the wine in his hand, and finally put the cup aside, making a crisp sound. After hearing the sound, the queen suddenly raised her head and looked at his A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

??It would be best if this woman could see the situation clearly, but if she couldn't...

?? Chu Ningyuan's eyes darkened. Although he didn't look up, he could already smell the fragrance of makeup on Empress Liu's body. Then he sighed helplessly. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were calm and terrifying.

?? "What is the queen mother doing?"

?? Seeing his calm expression, Empress Liu trembled in her heart. Finally, she forcibly calmed down and smiled.

?? "Ning Yuan, these days your elder brother is sick, it's because of your busy schedule, and you still don't forget to ask the imperial physician to visit the Prince's Mansion from time to time. This glass of wine is my mother's thank you."

?? The third prince stared at the silver wine glass she handed over, his eyes flickering, and after a long silence, he suddenly smiled.

"I am ashamed to accept this thank you from the empress, and I dare not take this glass of wine from you."

?? As soon as he said these words, not only the Queen's face changed slightly, but even the loyal ministers below became quiet, with different expressions on their faces.

??The queen's smile could hardly be maintained, and she said flatly: "Could it be that the third highness is still afraid that I will poison this wine? This wine glass is made of silver. If it was poisoned, there would have been a reaction."

?? The third prince looked at the cup in her hand indifferently, raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, and suddenly waved his hand. The maid at the side rushed over immediately after seeing it, and firmly grabbed the queen's wrist to prevent her from moving.

??The empress was shocked, and even the courtiers were shocked in place. For some reason, this sudden change happened.

?? "The wine in the empress's hand is indeed non-toxic, but the Kodan on your fingertips is poison | medicine that seals the throat when it sees blood! Do you really think I don't know anything?"

?? The third prince overturned the table with a bang, his face was full of anger, and everyone was stunned in place. They didn't expect such a situation before them.

?? "Fortunately, I still think of brotherhood as if I don't know anything. I didn't expect you to really want to attack me! The strange poison of the Western Regions, dissolved in cinnabar, and smeared on women, can kill people invisible, but it is difficult for the prince His Highness still has such tricky and vicious things in his hands!"

??The third prince was full of anger, and with a snap, he threw a document to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice who was sitting next to him, with a cold expression.

??"read!"

??The man suddenly had something in his arms, and he was shocked. After opening the document, before he could read two lines, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his back was even wet.

?? "On September 15th, [-]th year of Jiashun, the prince fell ill, and secretly sent a message to the barbarian prince Helan China..."

?? "On October 15th, [-]th year of Jiashun, the crown prince reached an agreement with Helan China to cooperate internally and externally to help him inherit the throne smoothly..."

?? "On November 15, [-]th year of Jiashun, the crown prince once again made a plan with the Helan tribe to attack Jincheng first and draw away the troops from the capital..."

?? "January 16th, [-]th year of Jiashun, the Crown Princess entered the palace to have a secret talk with the Empress, got rid of the Third Prince Chu Ningyuan at the palace banquet, and brought troops to govern..."

??At the end of the reading, the Ministry of Justice was still pale in writing, and looked at the third prince in disbelief. At the same time, a figure walked in slowly with a head in his hand. They looked intently and found that it should be far away. Qinzhang at the border.

?? "All correspondence are here, with the seal of the Eastern Palace clearly stamped on it, and the crown prince's own handwriting as evidence."

??The third prince looked around at everyone, his voice was cold, and the last sentence he uttered filled Empress Liu's eyes with despair.

?? "The crown prince is treasonous, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain. If the crown prince is like this, will the princes continue to follow?"
