The prince is hard to serve

Perhaps what Duke Huai said was too true, as if Yun Jing had really appeared, Emperor Yan couldn't help but lose his mind a little, and a trace of anticipation surged in his heart.However, he is not an ordinary person after all, but after a moment of daze, he has recovered, and at the same time, a trace of extreme sadness flashed quickly in his eyes...

He naturally understood that what Duke Huai said was indeed not the truth, but just lying to him.

Otherwise, if Yun Jing is still alive, why hasn't there been any news or has never appeared in the whole 12 years? How could he be willing to come back to see Yun Chen and pay homage to Queen Zhuang...

Restraining his overly revealing expression, Emperor Yan looked coldly at Duke Huai who was kneeling in the center of the hall for a while, and when he spoke again, his tone had returned to his original indifferent appearance. When he came out, he asked solemnly: "Prince Huai, let me ask you, you secretly supported soldiers, colluded with courtiers, and attempted to rebel, but you are convicted?"

Seeing that Emperor Yan didn't change his expression because of his words and was immersed in anger and sadness, but quickly returned to his original indifferent appearance, Duke Huai couldn't help but a look of unconcealable disappointment flashed in his eyes, but this disappointment was only It's just a flash, and it's gone soon.

There was more hidden in his eyes, but it was an inexplicable, gloating smile.

He naturally imagined that his imperial brother would never believe that Yun Jing was still alive... because even he himself would not believe it.

He just wanted to test whether after so many years, Yunjing's position in Emperor Yan's heart was still the same as it was then, without changing.

His purpose has been achieved.

To this day, Yunjing is still the same as before, and he is still Ni Lin who cannot be mentioned in Emperor Yan's heart, but no matter whether Yunjing is alive or dead now, he really will not come back.

——The relationship between Emperor Yan and Yunjing will never go back to the beginning!

For Emperor Yan, if Yunjing is really alive, he can't ask for it, and he can only watch helplessly, which is miserable; if Yunjing is really dead, then he will always feel guilty and cannot be relieved. In the middle of the responsibility, it is also miserable.

These two, whether it is the former or the latter, can make Duke Huai extremely happy, allowing him to achieve a very delicate balance——

Many years ago, King Huai had been infatuated with Lin Yuan, the virtuous concubine. He had planned to ask the first emperor to marry Lin Yuan as his concubine, but unexpectedly, Emperor Yan was one step ahead of him, obtained the imperial decree, and snatched Lin Yuan away. She was a concubine, causing him to miss his true love.

Thinking back then, Duke Huai still harbored hatred in his heart. After so many years, he still could not forget Lin Yuan, but this kind of love was more of a regret than something he could not ask for. Therefore, his subsequent strategies were not just about wanting the throne, Sitting on the world, what's more, he wants to get Lin Yuan.

Staring firmly at Emperor Yan, Duke Huai's eyes were very fierce. He looked at it for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly: "So what if I'm guilty, so what if I'm not guilty, if you are the emperor, you will execute me immediately, without me After ordering to retreat, the [-] soldiers and horses outside the city are still there, as soon as the agreed time comes, they will attack the city immediately, and the capital will be devastated, and the innocent people will suffer, so you can blame me, brother!"

He is threatening Emperor Yan.

The [-] soldiers and horses outside the city are now his life-saving talisman. With these [-] soldiers and horses, he is very sure that Emperor Yan dare not kill him easily.

Hearing this, Emperor Yan rubbed his fingers repeatedly for a moment, his eyes also changed and darkened: "Are you threatening me?"

"so what?!"

Nodding his head, King Huai admitted it frankly, and then smiled confidently: "Brother Huang, you should know that even if you go fast, it will take nearly three days to go back and forth to the nearest garrison to the capital. There are three days left, even if you order people to rush to mobilize troops now, it will be too late."

Speaking of this, he stopped and sneered, and continued to say: "If you are going to kill me now, I'm afraid that no one will be able to stop those fifty thousand soldiers and horses...The consequences, of course. It's unimaginable."

Lowering his head, he examined the confident Duke Huai in front of him. Emperor Yan pursed his lips, his expression unpredictable.

Peeping at the emperor's throne, even attempting to rebel against him, was a taboo of the emperor. King Huai should have been sentenced to death immediately, but what King Huai said just now meant that Emperor Yan had to hold back his anger and think about matters that mattered to him.

Now the world is prosperous and healthy, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the capital city is at the foot of the emperor, and it is even more prosperous. Once the flames of war are ignited, the lives may be ruined, not to mention the fighting among brothers, what's more, it will attract foreign enemies to peep.

Although 12 years ago, due to the bravery of Yunchen and Yunjing of the Yun family, they repeatedly defeated foreign enemies, so they still have lingering fears and dare not act rashly for so many years, but they have always been ambitious and eyeing the fertile land of the Central Plains. Let them find a chance, and they will come back.

At that time, there will be more wars, and it will be the common people who will suffer in the end.

Therefore, Emperor Yan must be cautious in his actions. He needs to ensure that the [-] troops outside the city cannot enter the capital before he can consider how to deal with King Huai.

Seeing that Emperor Yan was just looking at him, with a deep chill hidden in his eyes, but he still didn't see him make any move to let people come to deal with him, so Duke Huai smiled, and couldn't help showing a little complacency on his face.

"How is your brother thinking?"

Emperor Yan glanced at him, but ignored him.

Raising one hand, he rubbed his forehead lightly, then waved his hand a little tiredly, and said in a soft voice: "Put King Huai under arrest first, and temporarily lock him up in Dali Temple. visit."

"Yes."

Responding respectfully, Fuxi raised his eyes again, glanced at Emperor Yan cautiously, and then quickly walked out of the hall to call Lu Xi, who was waiting outside, and ask him to take King Huai away.

After Duke Huai was taken away, Emperor Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly slammed the table, his eyes were cold and his face was extremely gloomy.

After being silent for a while, he raised his head and said to Fuxi: "Send someone out of the palace immediately to invite Yun Chen and Mu Jiyan, and also, go to Lingxiao Pavilion and invite the second prince as well."

After hesitating for a while, he stopped Fuxi again, and said to him: "...you should go to Yunchen's place yourself, and be sure to bring him into the palace."

"The slave takes orders."

After bowing, Fuxi hurriedly retreated after responding, without any pause in the middle, and rushed out of the palace without stopping.

※※※

Inside Lingxiao Pavilion.

Yun Jing and Yan Wenhao were still reminiscing about the old days, while Mu Ziling sat on the side, listening to their conversation carefully, and would only interject a sentence or two when he heard something curious, but his eyes were bright the whole time, a little I didn't think it was boring, but I listened with gusto.

Seeing his cute appearance, Yan Wenhao felt itchy in his heart, and couldn't help but want to lean up and kiss him.It's just that at this moment, not only the presence of Yun Jing and An Er, but also Mu Ziling's current attitude, he can't take this step. He can only think in his heart and secretly look forward to the future.

After staying in Ling Xiao Pavilion for nearly half an hour, Yun Jing got up and was about to say goodbye. He eagerly wanted to go back to Yun Mansion, to see Yun Chen, and begged him to forgive him for not returning home for 12 years.

Knowing that Yunjing was going back to Yunfu, Yan Wenhao's eyes flashed a trace of complexity, he suddenly felt that maybe Yunjing could not see at this moment, it would probably be better for him.

Yan Wenhao knows best how his grandfather Yun Chen came over these years——

First he lost his beloved son, then lost his beloved daughter, and lost two relatives in a row, but Yun Chen forcibly endured it for the sake of the Yun family. During the two funerals, he never shed tears, and buried all his sorrows deep in his heart. Then he put on a straight face, continued to stick to his beliefs, and continued to do his best for Dayan.

However, even a person who is made of iron will rust and break down. What's more, Yun Chen is just a person, a person of flesh and blood?

Although he buried his grief deeply in his heart and didn't show it, how could he easily cover up the heartache and sadness of losing his children?

So, after Zhuang Hou passed away, Yan Wenhao suddenly became seriously ill, and after there was no cure, he finally turned white overnight, as if he had aged ten years, and could no longer lift his strength.

Lost in heart and strength, Yun Chen began to show up rarely, and even stopped going to court, and the Yun family, which had always stood tall, was finally gradually neglected in the passage of time.

The current Yun family has long since lost its glorious past. The hall is deserted, and few people will come to the door, but it still stands there majestically, guarding one side, as if waiting for a wanderer from afar to return.

Hesitating, Yan Wenhao wanted to say something to Yunjing, to remind him, but after he opened his mouth, he found that he didn't know what to say, so in the end, he just patted Yunjing on the shoulder, silently Cheer him on.

He could see that his uncle was nervous and worried.

Frowning, Yun Jing "looked" at Yan Wenhao's direction, and said softly to him: "I'm going first, I'll come back later, and then, tell me again, what happened back then? What happened? Why did Yunyao pass away so suddenly when she was so well-behaved?"

He knew that there must be something strange in it!

Nodding his head, Yan Wenhao said solemnly, "Okay, I'll wait for my uncle to come back."

As soon as Yun Jing was sent away, Fu Quan bowed in and reported to him in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, His Majesty sent someone over and summoned you to go to the imperial study as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Mu Ziling raised his face, looked at Yan Wenhao, frowned and asked, "Your Majesty is looking for you, isn't it because of Prince Huai's business?"

Couldn't help scratching Mu Ziling's cheek lightly, Yan Wenhao smiled, and said warmly: "I think, Father not only summoned me, but also ordered someone to summon Grandpa and Prime Minister Mu."

Yan Wenhao's action caused Mu Ziling to quickly take a step back, withdrawing from the distance of his hand, then frowned and looked at him, thought for a while in silence, and then asked: "Your Majesty is looking for you, Could it be for Old General Yun?"

Back then, because of Emperor Yan's various actions, Yun Chen was finally chilled, resentful, and never wanted to meet Emperor Yan again.Because of this, Yun Chen no longer went to court, and kept saying he was sick at home for several years.

At this time, there were [-] troops stationed outside the city, many of whom were martial arts experts, while in the capital, there were only [-] imperial guards, and there were few actual combatants. They were not opponents at all, but if Yun Chen was willing to fight, he could still fight with it.

Therefore, Emperor Yan summoned Yan Wenhao this time, in fact, to be a lobbyist.

Eyes flickered, and after pondering for a while, Yan Wenhao nodded slightly, and said softly: "Probably let me be a lobbyist."

"Then..." Mu Ziling opened his mouth to speak, but after thinking about it, he shouldn't have said it himself.

"Don't worry, Jing Yu came out of the city with my grandfather's token. Over the years, my grandfather knows every trick I have..." After a pause, his tone was a little apologetic, and he was deeply moved. Staring at Mu Ziling intently, he said in a low voice, "But the only thing I did about marrying you was that I did it without telling my grandfather, otherwise, he would definitely not agree."

And only this matter, he did wrong.

"..."

His expression changed slightly, and after a while, Mu Ziling lowered his head, responded in a very calm voice, and then quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, go and change your clothes, Your Majesty is still waiting for you to go over."

Sighing faintly, he stared at Mu Ziling for a while, and then he took a long while to look away, then turned around, and ordered Fuquan to bring the court clothes for him.

At this time, he can't love his children, he needs to go to the imperial study first.
