Unexpectedly but within expectations, the wife of the Chu family bluntly said that there was no such unfilial son as Chu Feng, broke off relations with him, bought a luxurious dowry, and married her daughter into the prince's mansion.

Everyone was discussing and felt that Mrs. Chu was too snobbish. Seeing the downfall of the Seventh Prince, they abandoned him and turned to join the camp of the Third Prince.It can be said, but this is indeed human nature. As the saying goes, it is easy to make icing on the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow.

The wedding was held in a hurry, and it was held in late autumn. King Yan's health became worse and worse. After attending the wedding, Xu Shi drank wine and blew cold wind, and fell seriously ill the next day.This disease came and went again and again, and I stayed in bed at both ends for three days to recuperate, and it dragged on until winter before I knew it.

The snow in the imperial city came earlier than in previous years.The snow particles are scattered, as heavy as coarse salt.

In the small pavilion in the courtyard of the Unnamed Palace, the Seventh Prince wearing a fox fur cloak was drinking alone in front of the snow.After hearing the footsteps, he looked at Mo Zifei who was still wearing a thin moon white robe in surprise, "A rare guest, why did Master Mo come to my place today?"

As he spoke, he poured a glass of wine and handed it to Mo Zifei.

Since Chu Feng left, apart from the servants who delivered food and supplies, only the sixth prince occasionally came to visit him. The sixth prince was not good at hearing and couldn't speak, so he often sat silently with him for an afternoon.

"Your Highness, long time no see." Mo Zifei didn't take the wine glass, and said in a distant manner, "This time, I brought good news and bad news to Your Highness. I don't know which one Your Highness wants to hear first?"

"Bad news, I want to know how bad I can be now?" The Seventh Prince grinned and lowered his eyes slightly.

"It snowed heavily last night, and the concubine Zhen died." Mo Zifei looked into his eyes and said calmly.

The hand holding the wine glass was loosened, and the wine glass fell to the ground with a clink. The bronze wine glass rolled all the way down the steps of the small pavilion and plunged into the snowdrift.

There was a long silence, only the rattling sound of Xuezi patting on the tile roof.

Mo Zifei, who had no emotion, paused for a while and continued, "Your Majesty's health is not as good as before, and he is even bedridden after hearing the bad news about your empress. The imperial doctor said that you will not survive this winter. Is this good news?"

The Seventh Prince closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down, "Whether he is good or not, it has nothing to do with me? When will my concubine's funeral be?"

"On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. According to His Majesty's wishes, concubine Zhen will be conferred the title of Imperial Concubine Yongzhen, and she will be buried with empress rites."

"Oh, hypocrisy." The Seventh Prince sneered, "I want to guard the spirit of my mother and concubine, but I wonder if Mr. Mo will be accommodating?"

Now, [-]% of the court is in the hands of this person in front of him.Whether he can get out of this Unnamed Palace is just a word from the other party.

"Your Highness should send you off for the last time." Mo Zifei smiled and said, "The good news just now is just a joke. I want to congratulate Your Highness today. Not only has His Majesty restored your status as a prince, but he is also going to send you a gift. You are a crown prince. This is great news, isn't it?"

The Seventh Prince smiled softly, "It is indeed good news."

In this way, he didn't need to ask Mo Zifei to go out of the Unnamed Palace directly to guard the spirit of his mother and concubine.

Not wanting to delay any longer, the seventh prince got up and wanted to find the mourning hall of his mother and concubine.

"Wait a minute." Mo Zifei called to stop him.

After stopping, the Seventh Prince turned his head to look at Mo Zifei, "What else is there for Mr. Mo?"

Mozi took out an imperial decree from his sleeve as if conjuring, and threw it to the Seventh Prince, "This is the imperial edict to restore your princely status. It was written by His Majesty this morning. I brought it with me when I came here. Another imperial edict to enshrine the crown prince , Your Majesty means to ask you to go there and admit your mistake to His Majesty, and then I will give it to you."

"Hehe, Lord Mo, please tell Your Majesty that the imperial decree should be kept by Your Majesty!"

The Seventh Prince raised the imperial decree in his hand, and planned to go out.

"On the frontier battlefield, the city was sealed off by heavy snow, and the Chu family army has been trapped for ten days." Mo Zifei said leisurely, looking at the figure of the Seventh Prince who suddenly stopped.

A few months ago, enemies from outside the border invaded, and Chu Feng invited him to the border.Along with him was Lingmenglu, the daughter of Orion.

"How are you doing?" The Seventh Prince turned around, and the eagle's gaze was fixed on Mo Zifei.

"Whether the reinforcements and food can arrive at the border town on time," Mo Zifei raised the corners of his lips slightly, "It's up to you, Your Highness."

Facing the shallow smile in his eyes, the Seventh Prince gritted his silver teeth fiercely, threw the imperial decree on the ground, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

-

The corridor outside the music hall.

Mo Zifei slowly peeled a pine nut and fed it to the beak of the parrot that had fallen on the bird stand in the corridor.

Flakes of flying snow outside the corridor are as big as goose feathers.

"Your Excellency is really clever and clever. There are really people who don't know how to live or die and dare to rob food and grass." The Minister of the Ministry of War stood in the corridor and reported military affairs, looking at Mo Zifei with piercing tiger eyes.

"Have you taken them all?" Mo Zifei asked casually after peeling another pine nut.

"Yes, all of them have been captured." The Minister of the Ministry of War raised his voice two tones excitedly, his dark face was full of joy, "Except for those who were shot on the spot and those who committed suicide after failure, we caught five in total. They will be severely interrogated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and their mouths must be opened!"

"Well, well done. You back off."

"Yes, I will resign." The Minister of the Ministry of War heard a compliment, raised his eyebrows happily, and retreated in response.

As soon as the Minister of the Ministry of War left, Shi Shiran, the Minister of Rites who was waiting outside the Chuihua Gate, came in.

"My lord, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince went to see His Majesty this morning and has reconciled with His Majesty. Now he is guarding beside the coffin of the Imperial Concubine and Empress. His Majesty ordered that after the Empress and Imperial Concubine leave the funeral, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince will be canonized as the crown prince. The officer has already disclosed the news to those who should know according to your instructions."

After finishing speaking, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites smiled obsequiously, his gray goatee twitched.

Regardless of his age, he is the most naughty.Knowing that His Majesty is good at Qin music, he presented a lost piano score he searched for, and deliberately made friends with Da Si Le of the band.Seeing that Mozi is very powerful now, he even took the initiative to come forward to sell the benefits.

Gently stuffing the pine nut meat into the bird's beak, Mo Zifei slightly hooked the corner of his lower lip, and said slowly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen."

"It's a great honor for me to be able to do the work of a dog and a horse for Mr. Mo."

After finishing speaking, the Minister of Rites withdrew with a wink.

The snowflakes drifted aimlessly, one by one, as if to cover the world.

There was one person and one bird left in the corridor.

"Feifei, what are you doing?" the parrot asked after swallowing a piece of pine nut meat.

She felt that she was becoming more and more incomprehensible.Last time it was said that Chu Qiqi was devouring the silkworm, but she hadn't given an explanation yet, but now it's being involved in the court strife.In just a few months, it became the existence of "holding the emperor to order the princes" in Dayan.

Mo Zifei tapped the jade pendant lightly with his fingertips, and the phantom of the white dragon instantly propped up a barrier, "Do you still remember what I said, how to absorb the power of the world faster by devouring the silkworms?"

"Huh?" Hearing this, the parrot suddenly shrank its pupils.

This kind of visual sense of suddenly encountering the teacher's random check of homework is really difficult for birds!

"There are two points. One is to kill the lucky person in the world plane, that is, the companion source body of the chosen one;" the parrot tried his best to recall the scene when Feifei explained to her, "The second is to create a great turmoil in the plane, collapse Destroy the world line."

"That's right." Mo Zifei nodded in satisfaction, and then explained, "But in fact, people with great luck are not so easy to kill. Sometimes even if the world is destroyed, it may not be possible to kill people with great luck."

"So you said that they usually choose to destroy the world and mess up the world line." The parrot learned to answer confidently.

"Well, do you now understand why I did this?" Mo Zifei met the parrot's eyes and asked with a gentle smile.

With a thud in his heart, the parrot looked back blankly, thinking: This question seems a bit out of line...

She smiled helplessly, reached out and rubbed her head, "Whether I seize power or force the Seventh Prince, it's all about maintaining the stability of the world."

"This plane is obviously dominated by the court hall of the Great Yan Kingdom, and the world line is even more entangled in the struggle for imperial power. But at a glance, today's Great Yan Kingdom is disturbed by powerful enemies outside and factional disputes inside. It looks prosperous, but it is actually corrupt.”

Looking at the falling snowflakes outside the corridor, Mo Zifei's voice continued, "Around the princes, only the Seventh Prince can be called the lifeline of the imperial family of Great Yan Kingdom."

"Is it because you want to push the Seventh Prince to the throne?" Parrot blinked his eyes, a little puzzled, "But why did you order someone to pass the news that the Seventh Prince will be crowned prince to the third prince, that scumbag? Is the prince unrighteous?"

"Naturally, it's to force the Devouring Silkworm to take the initiative." Mo Zifei's eyes showed a hint of victory, "I disturbed the game it set up and pushed the world line back to stability, so it has to jump over the wall in a hurry."

"No, even the bad idea of ​​sending people to rob the army's food and grass has come out. Unfortunately, I was the first to resolve it. It failed to kill the lucky ones. Now I have to find ways to kill the protagonist of the world line—His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

The parrot nodded his head as taught.

If the devouring silkworm kills the protagonist of the world line, it will naturally cause great turmoil in the world.Especially this kind of small world plane where the main line of the world revolves around the protagonist. Once the protagonist dies, it is equivalent to destroying most of the world.

"But why is it so troublesome? Didn't you say that Chu Qiqi is devouring the silkworm? Can't we just catch her?"

"Let it betray all relatives, spit out the absorbed luck, and then capture it, which can save a lot of trouble."
