The blood that permeates the sky is condensed and dried up little by little, and the thrilling conspiracy stories will probably only become plain and detached words in historical books.It is gratifying that this time there was no major commotion, and there might be fights in the imperial city, but the people in the inner and outer cities still lived comfortably, and no innocent people were hurt.

Zhuo Yun walked into the main hall, the guards had long been dismissed in the big hall, the emperor was sitting on the main hall, the emperor's appearance was alienated and gentle, quiet and majestic.

Zhuo Yun knelt down in front of the emperor to salute, and stood up after receiving the emperor's consent.

At the beginning of inheriting this body, he still wanted to face the Holy Spirit very desperately, but it was difficult to go to the blue sky due to many obstacles.Now, he finally saw the Holy One, but he didn't have the initial urgency in his heart, but rather the indifference after the end of all difficulties.Joy is not at all, it can be said to be gratification at best.

"You disrupted my original plan." The emperor said slowly.

Hearing this, Zhuo Yun's expression didn't fluctuate too much. The emperor may blame him or not, and it doesn't help to be flustered. He just waited quietly.

"However, the effect was better than I expected. Not a single soldier was injured, and it did not cause civil unrest or turmoil between the government and the public."

Zhuo Yun replied: "It's the emperor's careful layout, no one can escape the snare."

The emperor silently glanced at Zhuo Yun.He noticed that the prince was more stable than before, his emotions and anger were restrained, and occasionally he could put on a posture of calmness and humiliation.But the emperor is so perceptive, he can still feel that under the prince's calm surface, there is uneasiness in his heart, and even a trace of resentment.Indeed, with Zhuo Yun's calm and indifferent face, others might not be able to see anything, even if they could see other emotions from it, they would definitely not dare to speculate.But the emperor knew very well.The crown prince is not a saint, and he is inevitably disappointed and dissatisfied when he is suspected or even delayed to the point where his life is in danger.But so what, the emperor had his own plans and considerations, even selfishness.

Of course, the emperor did not intend to bring up the matter of suspicion and delay, but said leisurely, "You have done a good job of forcing surrender and persuading you to return." He smiled, and said, "It can be said that you are in a hurry for the country's crisis. .sit."

Zhuo Yun sat down on another carved chair, but still lowered his head and eyes, and did not speak easily.

There was a silence in the hall.

After a while, the emperor finally spoke slowly, "I have read the letter you sent someone to send to the palace overnight, and I am here too."

Zhuo Yun cupped his hands and saluted, "Thank you father, I don't blame my son for being reckless."

He knew that the emperor might want to hear more words of gratitude, thanking the emperor for his painstaking efforts, and it would be best to cry bitterly to clear up the past.But Zhuo Yun couldn't do it, and he had no intention of pretending.When he realized that he was so suspicious and guarded by the emperor, the holy emperor had been reduced to an ordinary man in his mind. This was not disrespect, but just looked down upon the illusory power, status, and scheming.Perhaps, the family affection of the royal family will never be as simple and precious as that of ordinary people.

The emperor took out the letter written by Zhuo Yun from his dragon sleeve, and asked Zhuo Yun to confirm it himself.Then, he took the letter to the golden candlestick in front of him and burned it to ashes.

Zhuo Yun was startled suddenly.

The emperor rubbed off the ashes on his fingertips, "Borrowing corpses to return to life, twin brothers, living among the people... I don't know anything about these things."

Zhuo Yun's heart was shocked, and he looked up solemnly.

The emperor looked at him slowly, with deep and sharp eyes, "I only know that my crown prince is not dead. You have always been, the only one, the Lord of the East Palace."

The deep meaning of these unquestionable holy words, Zhuo Yun's heart is clearly visible like a mirror.So shocked!The emperor did not sanction him on the grounds of acting without authorization, but instead believed in him to such a degree that Zhuo Yun seemed to be able to let go of all worries in his heart immediately, and only waited for a solemn return to orthodoxy.

Zhuo Yun frowned slightly, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said bluntly: "Father, my son has absolutely no intention of forcing the establishment of the crown prince, let alone coveting the position of the Eastern Palace! This time using the name of the Eastern Palace is just a last resort. , in order to enter the city, to gain prestige, and to force surrender! My son knows that my status... the status of this body is at most nothing more than that of a prince living among the people, and the real..."

The emperor interrupted him with a wave of his hand, his expression majestic and unpredictable, "I have already said that there is only one crown prince, and that is you."

Zhuo Yun was really shocked, the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak anymore.He was not so flattered, it was unbelievable that the emperor had treated him so favorably.He only felt that the emperor's kindness was a little scary, and he directly erased the existence of a prince with just a few words.

The emperor smiled slightly, and glanced at Zhuo Yun lightly, "Why, the prince still dares to resist the order."

Zhuo Yun suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, "...don't dare."

The emperor picked up the jade cup in his hand, lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and then slowly put it back.

"I've confirmed your identity, nothing else matters, why do you have any worries? The prince living outside the palace has a poor life. The so-called resurrection of the dead is God's will. This is not an unforgivable take away. Only you and my father and son know about this matter." , not to be disclosed."

Zhuo Yun could only remain silent.

"Since the empress dares to make such a decision to commit a capital crime without authorization, she will have to bear the consequences. However, this is fine, as I acquiesce in her actions."

The emperor really knew all the things in the palace, and watched with cold eyes.Although he didn't punish the empress, he didn't take the prince back either, so it's as if he didn't have such a son at all.

After being startled, Zhuo Yun felt a chill in his heart.

And the emperor seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "If I let him stay in the palace, you may not be able to kill each other in the future. Don't think I am cruel. At that time, once someone comes to fight with you Chu, even if it's a brother-in-law, I'm afraid you want to get rid of it quickly. At that time, you will be cruel."

Zhuo Yun's expression darkened a little bit coldly.

"Okay, let's stop here. There is no need to mention the past. I have already forgotten those things, so you should forget them too." The emperor got up slowly, and commanded Zhuo Yun with the majesty of the emperor, "Prince, you should came back."

Zhuo Yun remained silent.

But the emperor is not in a hurry, just being the prince is the default.

"I sent a guard team to follow you. You spend these few days doing everything you need to do, and then, go back to the palace."

Zhuo Yun knelt down slowly, "...my son receives the order."

After all, the prince still complied, and the emperor felt relieved, he just canceled the current matter, not to mention that he was suspicious and wary.

The emperor smiled and said, "You have made a great contribution in forcing Prince Jing to surrender without moving a single soldier. Tell me how you want the emperor to reward you."

Zhuo Yun immediately said: "The Zhuo family is kind to me."

"Okay." The emperor nodded slightly, "I have carefully investigated the situation of Zhuo's family. It seems that he fought with the late emperor. Zhuo Tinghuan is not good at being an official but is good at leading troops. I ordered him to be a brave general in charge of the capital. Build battalions and station camps."

The title of this general is very prominent, and he is not in the dangerous frontier barbarian area, but is stationed in the capital, even though he is stationed in the outer city camp.Zhuo Yun originally thought that the emperor would take this opportunity to transfer Zhuo's father out of the capital, but since he didn't, Zhuo Yun couldn't say anything else.Secondly, this is indeed a relatively leisurely and comfortable position. As long as the battle does not reach the capital, there is probably no need to worry about safety.

"Zhuo Wang's family, the wife of the first rank was appointed by the Jin Dynasty, given a plaque, and received the imperial salary."

Zhuo Yun knelt down and kowtowed, "Holy Grace is mighty."

"Get up."

Zhuo Yun got up, then cupped his hands and said: "Parents... the adoptive parents don't know the identity of the children, and the children haven't informed them, so I don't know what the emperor's plan is..."

After saying these words, Zhuo Yun lowered his head slightly, and Bafeng fixed his gaze on the ground.The boots embroidered with golden dragons slowly walked in front of him, the emperor looked at the son, as if trying to figure out Zhuo Yun's thoughts.Finally, the emperor said slowly: "Fortunately, you did not reveal the identity of the crown prince or prince to the Zhuo family, otherwise, I would have to seal their mouths."

Zhuo Yun suppressed the horror and dullness in his heart again and again, deep wrinkles appeared between his brows, and he replied with a slightly stiff voice: "Even if they know, they won't reveal it. Father, there is no need to be so cruel..." hand!"

The emperor laughed, "I didn't mean to kill them by keeping my mouth shut. I have killed too many people in my life, and now I don't want to be stained with blood. The descendants of the family are honored, and they will be promoted to nobles, and they will not be replaced by hereditary."

"That's all. I know what's in my heart. When I met your adoptive parents, I said, you have been promoted to be the prince's bodyguard, how about it?"

"Father protects my son so much, my son thanked Long En! Please also ask my father for permission, I want to go back to Zhuo's house occasionally to visit my father... adoptive parents."

Now the emperor didn't make a sound, and replied after a while, "Okay, you can visit the Zhuo family frequently, I won't restrict you. The Zhuo family is a loyal queen, so they can still establish a clear and bright government. Don't learn from that King Jing, Colluding with important officials of the court, I would rather you spend more time in Zhuo's house." There was a slightly cold intellectual smile on the emperor's lips, and he said to Zhuo Yun in a teasing tone, "You call them parents, This is also a matter of course, and I will not blame you, after all, it is the kindness of nurturing for more than ten years. As for when to say something, and who to say to whom, my prince already understands now."

"Follow your father's teachings!"

"Also, does the Zhuo family still have an eldest son?"

When the topic changed to this point, Zhuo Yun's heart skipped a beat, and his subconscious first thought was to hide Zhuo Yichen.

Seeing that Zhuo Yun frowned slightly but did not reply, the emperor said first, "I heard that he is weak and sick, but he is very talented in cooking. Then this person, does he know your identity and these things about you? Hearing that you have brought someone to Xiangfu, he probably knows everything."

Zhuo Yun immediately argued: "Even if he knows everything, he will never reveal half of it. Why should father be taboo?"

"Why are you so sure?" The emperor's tone was unhurried, but the words he uttered made Zhuo Yun feel uneasy, "You know, people's hearts are alive and will change."

Zhuo Yun's face gradually became gloomy, "Father, since I have returned to the East Palace, so what if this matter is leaked? Will they still pose a threat? How much did they secretly help me, even at the risk of my life, to get me to this point? Worry. Now, I am returning to the clan in a glorious manner, but they want to die like a rabbit? Royal father, do you want your son to be a lonely family!"

The emperor suddenly laughed, "I only know that people's hearts are changeable, and I didn't order the murder to be sealed. Why are you nervous?"

Zhuo Yun suddenly knelt down, "I have no intention of offending you, and please forgive my father. I just want to say that these people are loyal and righteous, how can they be treated so badly."

"So, I asked you to keep him."

Zhuo Yun was startled suddenly, "...Father?"

"Since he knows everything about you, then leave him in the palace, so I can rest assured." The emperor slowly moved the jade finger on his thumb, and just now he could clearly see the emotion in Zhuo Yun's eyes, " The Zhuo family wants to add a third-class marquis, and Zhuo Tinghuan is a great general, so his eldest son can be regarded as the eldest son. In order to limit the military power, why not keep the eldest son in the palace?"

The emperor walked down the high steps with his hands behind his back, and Zhuo Yun followed behind him until he reached the gate of the main hall.Immediately a guard bowed and waited for the order.

The emperor said to Zhuo Yun indifferently: "All the people in the government and the public only think that you are recuperating from your illness. After tonight, they will know that you are hiding your strength and biding your time. You don't need to make a fuss when you return to the palace. It is enough to bring a dozen guards to escort you back."

"My son leads the order!"

Zhuo Yun's complexion was still slightly pale as before, but his eyebrows were high, and under the light of the fire, he still looked extremely handsome and dignified.He rushed out of the palace with dozens of guards, and when he was about to mount his horse and leave, he received an urgent report from the admiral's office.It was Ren Beiyao who reported to the prince that the spy of the enemy's elite soldiers had been captured, and a letter from the spy was also intercepted.Zhuo Yun looked at the letter and casually asked how the battle situation in King Jing's city was, and the brothers planned to rush to the rescue.

After finally quelling the turmoil, how can there be another bloody battle over it?Zhuo Yun immediately sent someone to search for the military seal in the palace, and ordered someone to reply to the letter in imitation of King Jing's handwriting, so that the soldiers should not act rashly!After issuing the order, Zhuo Yun reported to the Holy Majesty.After everything was arranged properly, he just rode a fast horse and rushed back to the prime minister's mansion.

On the way, I saw a guard of honor of more than a hundred people marching towards the palace, which was the royal driver to welcome the emperor back to the palace.Zhuo Yun turned his gaze back again and looked at the sky. From a distance, he saw the majestic and majestic towers of the Forbidden City overflowing with rouge-like light colors, and the dawn light cast on the towers, shining brightly.

Zhuo Yun has never been so eager to return home like this moment, but he is not eager to return to the palace, but just eager to meet someone!

Zhuo Yun went all the way to the wing room in the backyard of the prime minister's mansion, and waited quietly for the maid outside the door to greet him when she saw him coming. Zhuo Yun waved his hand, and instead of being formal with them, he just asked: "Have you gotten up yet?"

One of the maids replied: "Young master has a fever at night. The doctor carefully checked and made the medicine. After serving the young master to drink it, the young master has been sleeping until now."

Zhuo Yun knew that his elder brother's cold hadn't completely recovered, but it seemed that he was mostly healed, but after he left for a day, his elder brother's condition worsened.It must have been the hard work and the cold wind that made the unhealed typhoid fever rage again.The elder brother kept telling him that it was all right, that he was just trying to hold on.

Zhuo Yun walked lightly into the room, and when he arrived, he stood on the edge of Ba Bu's bed, the incense candle had already been extinguished, and there was still a trace of faint fragrance in the room.Zhuo Yichen's face was a little ruddy, but it was an abnormal redness caused by fever.His lips were a little dry, with wisps of whiteness.Zhuo Yun poured a cup of tea over, dipped some with his fingertips, and gently moistened Zhuo Yichen's lips.

My elder brother is the one who has been with him all the time, not to mention the days in the Zhuo family, just these few days, Zhuo Yichen helped him get the imperial decree of Tongcheng, and then accompanied him into the city in disguise, and used phoenix jade to get through the Xiangfu. .Without this person, Zhuo Yun would not be sure whether he would be able to make it this far.Now, the person who is most qualified and should stand beside him is sick and unconscious when he returns from his triumphant return.

Zhuo Yun felt a little sour in his heart.

At this time, a maid brought in the boiled medicine and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, it's time for you to take medicine again."

Zhuo Yun took the medicine bowl with both hands, "I'll do it."

The maid Fu Yifu quietly retreated.

Zhuo Yun put the medicine bowl on the top of the cabinet first, then got up with Zhuo Yichen in his arms, he couldn't let his brother sleep like this anymore.
