The prince is hard to serve

Yan Wenhao, Yun Chen, Xie Jingyu and a group of people had just arrived at the gate of the palace when they were led directly to the imperial study by Fuxi who had been waiting there for a long time.

The banquet in the imperial garden ended an hour ago, and Emperor Yan was already in the imperial study, waiting for them for a long time.

Taking them outside the Imperial Study Room, Fuxi stood at the door, bowed and reported to Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, Second Highness, General Yun and General Xie are here."

After the war ended, Yan Wenjin led some troops to the "ghost mountain" to arrest all the remaining troops stationed on it. Perhaps the mountain road is difficult and they have not returned yet.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yan put down the pen in his hand, and immediately said: "Well, come in quickly."

Not long after his words fell, the three of them entered the hall together.

Walking to the center of the main hall, Yan Wenhao bowed to Emperor Yan, and Xie Jingyu also knelt down on one knee, respectfully greeted Emperor Yan, only Yun Chen, after entering, just stood there expressionless, Nothing happens.

For so many years, Yun Chen has always been like this, or his attitude was extremely perfunctory. Emperor Yan felt guilty and had affection for Yun Jing, so he did not blame him after all. After a long time, he gradually got used to it.

Raising his hand slightly, Emperor Yan said: "Don't be polite, get up." After that, his eyes fell on Yan Wenhao's injured arm, and he frowned. With some concerns, he asked, "Wen Hao, is your arm okay, will it be seriously injured?"

Yan Wenhao shook his head indifferently, and replied in a flat voice: "Father, there is no need to worry. My son's arm is fine. It's just that it was scratched by a hidden weapon and suffered a little skin trauma. It's not serious."

"It's fine if there's nothing to do." Nodding his head, Emperor Yan relaxed his frown a little, and after a while, he went on to say: "However, I have already ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor, and I will let you in later." It’s better for the imperial doctor to take a look.”

Without going to brush off Emperor Yan's kindness, Yan Wenhao bowed to thank him and said, "Thank you, father."

While speaking, the imperial doctor has already rushed over with a medicine box.

After entering the palace, the imperial doctor first saluted Emperor Yan, and then saluted Yan Wenhao.After asking him to excuse him, Emperor Yan said: "Go and show Wen Hao, his arm is hurt."

"Yes."

He responded respectfully, and then, the imperial doctor came to Yan Wenhao with the medicine box in hand, asked Yan Wenhao to stretch out his arm, and then lowered his head to examine carefully.

Previously, Yun Chen had already treated Yan Wenhao. Although the wound was grim, it was still a bit scary, but it was indeed just a minor injury.What's more, the hidden weapon has never been poisoned, so it really doesn't matter much.

Sure enough, after the examination, the imperial doctor left a box of good ointment for Yan Wenhao, then took a few steps back, turned around and reported to Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, the Second Highness's arm is fine. After the scabs form, it will recover, but in the past few days, you need to be careful not to touch the water."

"Well, I see."

He waved his hand to make the imperial doctor step aside first, and then Emperor Yan gave Yan Wenhao and the others a seat.After a while, he said to Yan Wenhao again: "I have heard what Lu Xi said about today's matter, and you have done a good job."

"Actually, I didn't do anything, I just tried my best. The fact that I was able to subdue the fifty thousand troops so smoothly was all thanks to my grandfather, General Xie and my fourth brother. Thanks to them, this credit is a Theirs." Putting all the credit on Yun Chen, Xie Jingyu and Yan Wenjin, Yan Wenhao lowered his head and said humbly.

Yan Wenhao's humble attitude of not taking credit at will made Emperor Yan very satisfied. With a smile in his eyes, Longxin said happily: "Wen Hao, you don't need to be humble. I know that this time can be so smooth. He surrendered Duke Huai's [-] troops with very few casualties, and it would not have been possible without any of you, you all have contributed to this. Until tomorrow, I will reward you for your merits!"

"Thank you, father." "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After hearing what Yan Wenhao and Xie Jingyu said, they responded in unison.

At this time, Yun Chen, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly made a sound, and he asked: "How does His Majesty plan to deal with Duke Huai and the others?" He now only wanted to see their end.

Hearing this, the smile on Emperor Yan's face faded, he glanced at Yun Chen, pondered for a moment, then turned his head, and ordered to Fu Xi: "Go and bring King Huai and others up."

"Yes."

Fuxi took the order to go down, and soon, he brought Duke Huai, Xue Yi and others who were shackled hand and foot into the hall.

King Huai and Xue Yi were meeting martial arts, and they were worried that they would still act and offend Emperor Yan, so their hands and feet were tightly bound by thick iron chains, especially Xue Yi, who was originally a master of masters, but also had a good hidden weapon , at this moment, it was even more tied up, and he could only kneel on the spot, unable to move at all.

As for Concubine Liang, although she is not tied up, she has long since lost her former beauty and charm. At this time, due to her previous escape, she has experienced another war, her clothes are torn, her hairstyle is extremely messy, and even her face The makeup on her face has already been worn out, and her expression is even more dazed and crazy. Now, she looks like a crazy woman.

He glanced at her indifferently, the disgust in Emperor Yan's eyes was clearly visible, he looked away, and his eyes fell on Duke Huai who was at the side, and asked coldly after a while, "Master Huai, what are you doing now? What can I say? I have said before that no one can shake my country, and you are overestimated."

Looking at him coldly, Duke Huai pursed his lips tightly and did not answer.

At this time, Duke Huai's face was extremely ugly. He never expected that after so many years of careful planning, he was about to succeed, but in the end, he was completely ruined by a woman.

What's even more ridiculous is that this woman is someone he has been using all the time, but who he despises in his heart.

What a trick of fate.

But he is not reconciled, really not reconciled!

Turning his head abruptly, Duke Huai stared fiercely at Concubine Liang who was kneeling not far away from him, with anger and murderous intent in his eyes, he was almost gnashing his teeth, if he wasn't shackled and looked at by the guards Don't worry, he will be suppressed if he makes a move, he must have already passed, and killed Concubine Liang with his own hands to vent his anger.

Perhaps because she noticed Duke Huai's gaze on her, Concubine Liang came back to her senses. She moved and immediately turned her head to look over. smile.

At this time, Concubine Liang was a little out of sorts, as if she had forgotten where she was now. She stood up on her own, walked slowly to Duke Huai, raised her head, and asked in a low voice. Said: "My lord, are you okay?"

After sizing up Duke Huai from head to toe, Concubine Liang breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Duke Huai was unharmed, and she replied to herself, "Fortunately, you are fine. ..."

Emperor Yan sat on top, and seeing this, he couldn't help but deeply frowned, although he knew a long time ago that Concubine Liang's true heart belonged to Duke Huai, and she entered the palace for Duke Huai, and he didn't like her, but Hearing how she greeted Duke Huai with such care and concern, he was still extremely displeased.

Even though he had demoted Concubine Liang to the cold palace, she was still his concubine in name.

It made him feel ashamed.

However, before Emperor Yan opened his mouth, Duke Huai seemed to have reached the limit of his patience. His expression sank, he interrupted Concubine Liang directly, gave her a condescending look, and said coldly, "Hmph, what are you doing to this king?" , it’s really affectionate.”

After listening to the words, Concubine Liang's cheeks flushed a little, and there was a touch of shyness in her eyes. She ignored everything around her, and even forgot that Emperor Yan was still sitting on top of her. She seemed to have changed back to the girl she was 20 years ago. Bright, obviously extremely shy, but cautiously expressing her feelings, she looked at Duke Huai, and confessed affectionately: "My lord, you know, I only love you..."

After pausing for a while, she tilted her head, looked at the shackles on Duke Huai's hands and feet, frowned and said, "My lord, why are you carrying this thing? Who is so bold as to dare to wear this for you?" Wait, I'll let someone untie it for you." After she finished speaking, she turned around and ordered the guards standing not far away: "I order you to come here and remove the shackles for the lord—— "

She looks like she is completely lost and crazy, unable to distinguish the current situation.

Finally found out that Concubine Liang was very wrong, as if she had a mental problem, Emperor Yan frowned, and ordered the imperial doctor who was at the side: "Go and see her."

The imperial doctor responded, and then walked towards Concubine Liang, but at this moment, he couldn't get close to Concubine Liang at all, she was very vigilant, if the imperial doctor dared to step forward, she would scratch him, and used Full strength.

Stopping at a distance of ten steps away from Concubine Liang, the imperial doctor frowned, turned around, wondering, "Your Majesty, this..."

Fuxi glanced at Emperor Yan's face, raised his hand, and called two eunuchs, and asked them to grab Concubine Liang from left to right, and take her aside.

Concubine Liang tried her best to resist, but she didn't have much strength, so she was taken over.

The imperial doctor hurriedly followed, and after diagnosing her pulse, the imperial doctor bowed slightly and reported to Emperor Yan: "Your Majesty, your majesty, she was frightened too much, and she appeared in a state of self-protection, which caused the short-lived Insane, but soon, she will recover."

"Well, I see."

He waved his hand and signaled the imperial doctor to step back first. Afterwards, Emperor Yan glanced at Concubine Liang again, with a complicated expression on his face. In the end, he didn't say anything, but turned his attention to Duke Huai again.

Looking at Duke Huai expressionlessly, his tone was extremely cold, and he asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Duke Huai raised his head and looked at Emperor Yan. The unwillingness in his eyes was very obvious. He said angrily, "This time, if Li Ranyun's appearance hadn't disrupted my entire layout, I wouldn't have lost to you, Emperor Brother. , I..." Li Ranyun was the boudoir name of Concubine Liang.

"No." Yun Chen interrupted him, turned to look at him, with a very firm attitude, and said softly: "Even if there is no concubine Liang, Hao'er will not use these tricks, you will still lose!"

It is inevitable that Duke Huai will lose. Even if there is no Concubine Liang, Xie Jingyu's reinforcements can still arrive on time, and Yan Wenhao's strategy and use of Concubine Liang are all just to make this victory go more smoothly. Just less.

Yun Chen's words seemed to have angered Duke Huai, he glared at Yun Chen, roared hysterically, his canthus cracked, and he seemed to be insane.

"How could I lose? For this time, I have planned for 20 years. I linger in the flowers all day, acting romantic and ignorant, like a fool, and letting the people of the world treat me as a joke after dinner, just to wait for this A best opportunity, but in the end, it’s just a vain?"

He is unwilling, he is dissatisfied, he does not believe——

Grabbing concubine Liang who did not know when she was walking towards him suddenly, Duke Huai lowered his head and faced her face to face, his eyes were extremely fierce, he said: "It's all you, if you didn't think you were smart and made unnecessary actions, how could I have done that?" To such an end?"

As he said that, he suddenly grinned, that smile was like hell Shura, extremely cruel, "Since you love me so much, I will give you a chance. Under the underworld, I am very lonely alone. If you don't, I will give you a chance." Go down and find the way for this king—" Before he finished speaking, his hands were already on Concubine Liang's neck, and with all his strength, his veins were bulging.

"Ahh..." Concubine Liang couldn't speak, she struggled hard, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, she blinked again, her eyes were sad and sad, and a teardrop rolled down the corner of her eyes down.

Just when Concubine Liang felt that she was about to die in pain, Yun Chen frowned and struck out, he knocked Duke Huai aside with one palm and saved Concubine Liang.

"Ahem——" she fell to the ground in an instant, Concubine Liang lay on the ground clutching her chest, coughing so hard that a ring of bright red fingerprints suddenly appeared on her neck.

Standing on the same spot, Yan Wenhao watched the farce in front of him quietly all the time. It wasn't until Yun Chen rescued Concubine Liang just now that he raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Chen with some doubts, but soon returned Withdrew his gaze.

He thought, he probably guessed what grandpa was thinking.

Getting up from the ground, Duke Huai wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then looked towards Yun Chen, the corner of his mouth curled into a strange arc, he was silent for a moment, and asked eloquently, "Old General Yun, do you know that you The one palm you saved just now saved the murderer who killed your daughter!"

Emperor Yan originally had a gloomy face, watching the farce below without saying a word, but now when he heard the words, he slapped the table angrily, and asked sharply: "What did you just say?"

At this time, Duke Huai was already insane, and he was about to die, so why should people like him still be alive?Concubine Liang loves him so much, she should be with him.What's more, the fact that Concubine Liang is not dead is really hard to dispel the hatred in his heart.

He had already blamed Concubine Liang for all the faults of this failure, and he was always looking for an outlet to vent.

So, he couldn't stop laughing, and it took a long time before he said maliciously: "My brother said, brother, your favorite queen, the daughter of General Yun, oh, and the mother of the nephew, who is By Li Ranyun," he paused at this point, then pointed at Concubine Liang on the ground, smiled mockingly, and continued, "She was poisoned to death."

Emperor Yan's cold eyes fell on Concubine Liang, and after a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "What Duke Huai said just now is the truth? Concubine Liang, do you have anything else to say?" He didn't sound harsh , but such words, when heard in the ears, are very frightening.

At this moment, Concubine Liang's uncomfortable symptoms seemed to have eased a lot, and even the abnormal appearance just now seemed to have disappeared.

She lowered her head and did not answer Emperor Yan's words. After being silent for a long time, she suddenly laughed, first softly, then the laughter became louder and her voice became more sad, she suddenly raised her head, she looked at Duke Huai's eyes were slightly red, and he asked in a low tone: "My lord, after all these years, have you ever, even just for a moment, liked me?"

Looking at her, Duke Huai curled the corners of his lips, his tone was cold and full of malice, and he said: "This king has only used you from the beginning to the end, and you are too stupid to think that this king The one I love is you, but in fact, in the eyes of this king, you are nothing but a joke!"

Concubine Liang raised her head when she heard the words. Tears flowed from her eyes. She cried and cried, but laughed again. When I got up, my eyes were crazy: "Oh, you are right, I was too stupid, I foolishly believed your words, and ruined this life for nothing."

"I entered the palace for you, gave birth to Zhi'er because of your adventure, and because of your words, I lost my nature, I lost my kindness, and I am willing to do anything for you, even if I lose my conscience and sacrifice anyone. No hesitation..."

Speaking of this, her voice was choked with sobs, but her face was smiling, and she continued: "My father is dead, my grandfather is imprisoned, and my home is gone...but today, I I finally realized that what I did was nothing more than one joke after another, hahahaha, just a joke, just a joke—"

The laughter suddenly stopped, Concubine Liang stopped, she turned her head, and took one last deep look at Duke Huai, as if she wanted to engrave his face into her mind, so that she would never meet again in the next life. , she turned her head again and looked at Yan Wenhao and Yun Chen with an extremely calm expression.

"I won't say I'm sorry to you. Although I caused you to lose your love, but if I want to live, I can only choose to let her die first. This is instinct. I believe that if it were her, she would do the same. I I won't ask you to forgive me, and you won't forgive me either... However, I still want to say thank you to General Yun, thank you for saving me just now..."

After speaking, her voice gradually lowered.

After she finished speaking, she turned around without waiting for anyone's response, and then her eyes fell directly on the gilded pillar not far away. After a while, she seemed to have finally made up her mind, and her eyes With a fright, he bumped into it suddenly and quickly.

But this time, Yun Chen didn't make a move, Yan Wenhao and Xie Jingyu didn't move at all, and the others didn't react at all.

When everyone came back to their senses, Concubine Liang had already bumped into the big pillar, and then she slumped to the ground, the wound on her forehead was still bleeding, and her originally beautiful face, now It was full of bright red blood, lost its vitality, and became extremely pale——

She died at last, by suicide.
