The eldest princess doesn't even remember how she spent this period of time, how much she regretted her decision back then, if she hadn't insisted on sending Shi Ye into the palace back then, wouldn't these things have happened now?

She regretted it.

Her bowels are turning green.

She wished she could go back to the self who prevented Shi Ye from being sent to the palace a few years ago.

She should have thought that Shi Ye had been wandering abroad for many years, and it was impossible for her to regard the Hua family as her own home and the Hua family as her family. Shi Ye is Hua Yanran's son, what could Hua Yanran, a white-eyed wolf who betrayed the family, give birth to? What kind of son is coming?

The more the eldest princess thought about it, the more she felt that the fire in her chest was burning fiercely.

She heard a sharp voice in her mind screaming crazily, that voice told her to kill Shi Ye to avenge the dead Hua family.

The eldest princess tried her best to suppress the impulse. She finally waited until today, and she was not in a hurry. This is not the time yet, just wait a little longer...

"Shi Ye, I'll give you one last chance." The eldest princess trembled, clenched the long sword in her hand, she stared straight at Shi Ye who was guarded by Eunuch Zhu and others, and gritted her teeth. , "Admit the crimes you have committed, and your uncle and I may look at your mother's face and spare your life."

There was a light smile on Shi Ye's pale face, he looked at the eldest princess with cold eyes, and slowly uttered three words: "It's up to you?"

The eldest princess was so angry that her eyes were blood red: "You..."

"Bold!" Eunuch Zhu's complexion was no better than that of the eldest princess, and he pointed at the eldest princess's hand shaking, and said angrily, "Shi Shutong, what are you? When will it be your turn?" Questioning His Highness the Crown Prince? You don’t want the head on your neck anymore?”

The eldest princess sneered: "He used to be a prince, and he is also a prince now, but he may not be a prince soon."

Eunuch Zhu said, "What did you say?!"

The eldest princess's hateful eyes wandered around Eunuch Zhu's surprised and angry face, and then fell on Shi Ye's face. She stared at that flawless face, as if she wanted to see through it.

For so many years, she racked her brains to find a cure for Shi Ye's disease, but she never dreamed that Shi Ye had been faking his illness from beginning to end. Shi Ye's healing ability was still there, but he just lied to all of them.

Back then, she wanted to use Shi Ye as a puppet to help her to the top, so that she could gain more power through Shi Ye. Even her status in the Hua family these years was obtained by being close to Shi Ye on the surface, but she didn't expect that Shi Ye not only failed to make her feel guilty, but also dealt with her in reverse.

Originally, she could have stood taller, but the trouble came from Shi Ye...

It was Shi Ye who ruined her plan!

"Come here!" The eldest princess couldn't hide the ferocity in her expression anymore, and shouted sharply, "Surround this man!"

"Yes!"

The guards, who were well-armed from head to toe, responded in unison, immediately surrounded Shi Ye and others, and drew out their long swords to point at them. The archers not far away also tensed their bowstrings.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

The royal relatives who really came to the family banquet hid behind the maids and eunuchs, looking at all this with pale faces and nervousness, so frightened that they dared not even take a breath.

When they saw that the guards obeyed the eldest princess without hesitation, they couldn't help feeling a little doubt in their hearts.

After the emperor fell ill, Concubine Rong, who was not conferred but was the lord of the harem, took away part of the military power in the name of sharing the emperor's worries, but those military powers were all in the hands of Concubine Rong, so how could she be married off? The eldest princess moved at will?

Or Concubine Rong...

Thinking of this, they no longer dare to think about it.

Shi Jin was sitting behind Concubine Rong, watching everything happen. He didn't know that these things would happen at the family banquet. develop in this direction.

Aren't the eldest princess and the prince good aunts and nephews?Why did the eldest princess suddenly turn against the prince?

And the bloodbath of the Hua family...

Was it really the prince's fault?

Shi Jin felt that he had walked into a huge fog, and he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north.

Until he saw that the guards who had only obeyed his mother's orders obeyed the eldest princess's words, he seemed to understand something, and turned to look at his mother sitting upright in front left.

I saw his mother staring at the front blankly, as if she was indifferent to everything, but the indistinct arc of her mouth betrayed her heart.

Shi Jin knew his mother well, and he even saw through his mother's thoughts in an instant.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing in his mind, as if something had cracked.

When Jin reacted, he had already dragged his mother's hand to a remote corner of the imperial garden. There was no one here, and even the chirping of insects could not be heard in the winter night.

Shi Jin let go of Concubine Rong, put his trembling hands on Concubine Rong's shoulders, took a deep breath, and said in a voice that only the mother and son could hear: "Mother, Aunt Huang...you let her in?"

There are rules for family banquets, but any married princess is no longer a royal person. Except for returning to the palace to visit relatives, basically she will not appear at any royal banquet. Not eligible to be here.

But the fact is that the eldest princess not only came, but also made a good family dinner a mess.

Facing her son's unbelievable eyes, Concubine Rong's indifferent expression for a long time finally relaxed. She raised her hand to touch Shang Shijin's face, and said softly, "She wanted to come by herself, mother didn't force her."

Shi Jin's mind went blank, and he was a little confused: "But you know the purpose of her coming."

Concubine Rong said: "Mother knows."

"Since you know, why did you let her in? Why did you help her? Are you crazy!" Shi Jin's eyes were almost filled with shock, and a guess appeared in his heart. He couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it. , "Mother..."

Concubine Rong put her warm hand on Shi Jin's cheek, and she looked at Shi Jin with firm eyes.

Shi Jin was stunned for a while, then murmured out a sentence: "You want to use the emperor's aunt to deal with the prince..."

"Good son, that's not called taking advantage of, mother and your aunt are just taking what they need." Concubine Rong put down her hands, turned her head to look at the deep and dark jungle, and seemed to be looking at something through the jungle. She said calmly, "Your father is dying. This is a good time for our mother and daughter to seize power. If you miss this moment, do you know what kind of day we will face in the future?"

"You think too much, the prince is not that kind of person..."

"It's been so many years, but you still can't see what kind of person he is?" Concubine Rong interrupted Shi Jin.

Shi Jin's voice stopped abruptly.

Concubine Rong turned her head abruptly, the tenderness just now was gone in her eyes, she could only see the emotion of hating iron but not steel, "Since you were young, you have been suppressed by him, and your father will give him whatever he wants. , but what if you also want that thing? Your royal father will only tell you to let him go, because he is the crown prince and he is your elder brother, so you have to let him go, don’t you have any idea?"

This corner is remote and quiet, and there are no lanterns to illuminate the road, only a ray of moonlight shining from the head, just falling on Concubine Rong's face and body.

Shi Jin stared blankly at his mother, and he saw that his mother's face looked particularly ferocious under the moonlight, exactly the same as the Huanggu he saw just now... No, his mother's appearance was even more terrifying.

The eldest princess is more about anger and grief, while his mother is more about greed and desire.

For the first time, Shi Jin felt that his mother was so strange, so strange that he hardly knew the woman in front of him.

"My son has known since he was a child that he is the prince. His status is higher than that of his son, and his possessions are far superior to his son's. So my son does not want to fight and will not fight. My son has never compared himself with the prince." Shi Jin later Taking a step back, he looked at Concubine Rong with a surprised expression and slowly shook his head, "My son has always known what kind of person the crown prince is, but my son suddenly discovered that my son doesn't know what kind of person his mother is."

Concubine Rong watched Shi Jin get further and further away from her, the surprise on her face gradually turned into anger: "What do you want to do?"

"My son is going to stop the aunt." Shi Jin said firmly, "My son does not want to be compared with the prince or compete with the prince. The throne belongs to the prince. My son has never had the idea of ​​usurping the throne. I also hope that mother can break those things." Unrealistic fantasies, stop the horse from the brink before the incident, so as not to cause unnecessary tragedy."

After all, Shi Jin turned around and was about to walk in the direction he came from.

"Stop!" Concubine Rong's angry and crying voice suddenly came from behind, "Stop!"

Shi Jin subconsciously paused his steps, but he had no intention of turning back, so he apologized in a low voice and continued to move forward.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Rong's movements were faster than him, and before he took a step, she rushed over in one stride.

Concubine Rong grabbed Shi Jin's arm and forced Shi Jin to turn to face her. Before Shi Jin could react, she raised her hand and slapped Shi Jin on the face.

with a snap.

It is especially crisp in this silent night.

Shi Jin was stunned again, and it took him a long time to turn his head to look at Concubine Rong, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth—he accidentally bit the corner of his mouth.

Concubine Rong glared at him, her beautiful eyes were frighteningly red, she was so angry that her body was shaking, she shook her hand and slapped Shi Jin on the face again.

Shi Jin was beaten again and turned his head away. This time he didn't turn his head again, but silently looked at the snow on the silvery road under the moonlight.

However, Concubine Rong could no longer control her collapsed emotions. After the slap, she suddenly covered her face with her hands, lowered her voice and cried out in extreme pain.

"Mother only has you as a son, and Mother only has one hope for you, but you are so unbelievable..." Concubine Rong has always been gentle, polite, generous and decent, and has never cried in front of her son. This is the first time in history that she cried Feeling so sad and lonely, "You are not fighting or grabbing, but have you considered your mother's feelings? Have you thought about your mother's end? If Shi Ye sat on the throne, do you think he would let her go? "

Shi Jin was forced by Concubine Rong every step of the way, and his breathing became a little short of breath, he looked at Concubine Rong who was crying, and said with difficulty: "Mother, we have no grievances or enmities with him, so naturally he won't do anything to us. "

"No injustice and no enmity? How could it be that there is no injustice and no enmity!" Concubine Rong raised her tear-stained face, her beautiful eyes were wet with tears, she stared at Shi Jin solemnly for a while, and then let out a sudden cry Sneered, "Son, you are so naive."

Shi Jin was stunned: "Son doesn't understand what mother means..."

"Do you really think he doesn't have any thoughts about us? You are wrong, you are absolutely wrong!" Concubine Rong wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeves, she no longer concealed the hatred spreading from the bottom of her heart, her voice Trembling slightly, "If he is really what you said, how could he poison your father!"

"Wh, what..." Shi Jin was stunned on the spot. For a moment, it seemed as if a tripod bell had fallen from the sky and firmly covered him. Many things flashed through his mind, but it seemed like there was nothing. He held on tightly. Holding Concubine Rong's arm, "Mother, what did you just say?"

Concubine Rong looked at Shi Jin's gradually collapsing expression with cold eyes, she calmed down and said, "The poison your father was poisoned by was Shi Ye."

Shi Jin asked in confusion, "Where's the evidence?"

Concubine Rong showed disappointment: "Son, don't you even believe what my mother said? My mother will not lie to you."

Shi Jin seemed unable to listen to Concubine Rong's words, he just said: "My son only looks at the evidence."

"Okay." Concubine Rong said coldly, "Since you want evidence, then I will give you evidence for my mother."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Rong called Xiao Shunzi.

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sudden rustling sound from the nearby grass, and after a while, a bowed little eunuch walked over cautiously.

That little eunuch was Xiao Shunzi who was serving Concubine Rong, and I don't know when he came looking for him with a lantern.

Concubine Rong didn't even look at Xiao Shunzi, her eyes were always on her son: "Xiao Shunzi, show that letter to King Xuan."

Xiao Shunzi hurriedly said yes, then took out the letter from his chest, and handed it to Shi Jin with both hands.

Shi Jin took the letter suspiciously, opened it under the light of the lantern carried by Xiao Shunzi, and pulled out the thin letter paper inside.

There are two rows of familiar ink characters written on the letter paper.

Although the relationship between Shi Jin and the emperor is not particularly close, when he was a child, he would often go to the emperor's study to play around, and after many times, he became familiar with many things around the emperor - including the handwriting of the eunuch around the emperor.

The handwriting on this letter paper...

It is clearly the handwriting of the great eunuch He Yu!

After seeing the contents of the letter clearly, Shi Jin suddenly lost strength in his hand, and the letter fell off his hand and fell lightly onto the snow.

Shi Jin closed his eyes, only feeling the world spinning in front of his eyes.

When he regained his composure, Xiao Shunzi hastily picked up the letter paper and put it in the letter. Shi Jin stared anxiously at Xiao Shunzi's chest holding the letter, and even his voice was floating: "Prince, he... Is it really not from the father?"

Concubine Rong stepped forward and touched her son's shoulder comfortingly: "Isn't the letter written in black and white clearly written on the letter paper?"

At this moment, Shi Jin could no longer deceive himself and others.

He is more familiar with He Yu's handwriting than anyone else. He Yu clearly wrote on the letter paper that Shi Ye was not from the emperor. Perhaps the emperor had doubts about Shi Ye's identity a long time ago, so he ordered He Yu to investigate quietly in private. However, he did not expect that He Yu would tell Concubine Rong about this matter.

Shi Jin suddenly realized something, and turned to look at Concubine Rong with shock in his eyes: "You have already bribed He Yu?"

The tears on Concubine Rong's face had been dried by the cold wind, and she said calmly, "As a mother, I have no choice but to seek the truth."

Now, the truth is bloody in front of Shi Jin.

There was darkness in front of Shi Jin, he didn't know where to go, he could only stand there in a daze, but he could still hear Concubine Rong's voice.

"Shi Ye is not your father's biological son at all, you are your father's eldest son! Those things that were taken away by him originally belonged to you, don't you want to come back?"

Shi Jin gasped: "I..."

"He not only killed your father, he also killed so many members of the Hua family, even if you and I can tolerate him, the Hua family and the people of the world will not tolerate him!" Concubine Rong burst into tears again, and she squeezed Holding Shi Jin's clothes tightly, he almost begged, "Son, you have endured for so many years, and now that he has killed your father, do you want to endure any longer? You can't bear it because he killed him?"

Concubine Rong threw herself into Shi Jin's arms, crying until the pear blossoms were raining, and almost fainted from grief.

Shi Jin even had difficulty breathing, he seemed to be in a dream, unconsciously hugging Concubine Rong, all the turning points came too fast, so fast that he was caught off guard, without the slightest preparation.

All sorts of messy thoughts flashed through his mind, he thought of his father's attitude towards Shi Ye, Shi Ye's attitude towards his father, and those flamboyant and indifferent words Shi Ye said before.

He used to feel confused all the time, which son would not like his father?What's more, the father is so kind to his son.

Now, he finally understands——

Maybe it's because Shi Ye already knew that his father was not his biological father.

Therefore, no matter how kind his father is to him, he will not take his father's kindness to heart, and even treat his father with the attitude of treating his servants, and let his father, the king of a country, be obedient to him and call him so much. people read jokes...

At this moment, Shi Jin didn't even think about whether the poison in his father's body was inflicted by Shi Ye, he slowly tightened his hands holding Concubine Rong, and something seemed to settle in his stiff expression.

It turned out to be like this...

What mother said was right, Shi Ye took away those things that belonged to him, took away the father's love he longed for most, and also took away his father's dignity as the king of a country.

Shi Ye!

What a time Ye!

A bastard who didn't know where it came from caused a thousand waves of disturbance in the palace.

"Mother, my son promises you." Shi Jin closed his eyes in pain, his voice was low and determined, "Son will definitely take back everything that belongs to him!"

On the other side, Wen Chi was also in a daze.

The plot has been advanced, half a month earlier, what about Ye?Will Shi Ye encounter the same thing again?

Wen Chi pushed away the little Shuanzi who came to report the news, and hurriedly ran out, but after running a few steps, he realized that he didn't know where Shi Ye was at all.

Wen Chi became anxious like an ant on a hot pot, wishing he could put on a pair of wings and fly to Shi Ye's side, and he hurried back to Xiao Shuanzi again.

"Where's Shi Ye? Where is Shi Ye?"

"Your servant doesn't know the whereabouts of His Royal Highness." Little Shuanzi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his face in this winter. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered, "But His Royal Highness I told you when I left, if it is not necessary, the young master must not take a step out of the East Palace, just stay in the East Palace and wait for His Highness the Crown Prince to come back with peace of mind."
