food color system
Chapter 34: Never give up
When he just crossed over, he discovered that this body had many chronic diseases, but God finally opened a window for him.Now he finally had the courage to try it and experience it, but in the end...God closed his door.
Zhuo Yichen nestled listlessly in the bedding, and began to reflect on why this happened.Is it because he hasn't accumulated "food value" these days?Can more accumulations cure this chronic disease that is too embarrassing to talk about?
Zhuo Yun was lying side by side with him. Seeing that his elder brother was still in an ostrich state with his face buried, he persuaded him: "Let's go back and let the imperial doctor in the palace prescribe a prescription. It will definitely get better after a while."
I thought so, but my keen intuition told Zhuo Yichen that it was far from easy to get better from the chronic illness.He used to consume "food value" to improve his physique before, and it took him almost a month.In fact, this recovery speed is considered very fast. In the past, the Zhuo family did not give him less medicine. He suffered from medicine stones for many years, but it had little effect.It is still more powerful to rely on the system of "food sex".If it is to accumulate more "food and sex points" faster, it is more beneficial to enter the palace. There is no way, who let him be a snobby system master.
Zhuo Yichen sighed, and said softly: "I want to see my parents, you take me to meet them."
"Okay." Zhuo Yun hugged him and sat up, straightening his clothes and said, "It doesn't matter if you stay in the palace in the future, you can go out of the city with your waist card. Although your parents are sealed, they are still in the inner city of Beijing." , we can visit from time to time.”
"Hmm..." Zhuo Yichen replied in a low voice, still a little disappointed.Fortunate to be able to take root in Zhuo's family, he has always felt that this is his blessing.Now that I really want to leave, it's like a daughter-in-law getting married, and I still feel reluctant to part with my mother's family.
Zhuo Yun seemed to see what he was thinking, of course he would never really say "the daughter-in-law is getting married", he just smiled and said: "You have to leave your parents after all, and the son has to start a family. But, you You don't have to worry about the Zhuo family's heirs, when your father is ennobled, all relatives who ignored us before will come to the door, and those people will fight in front of your father just for the matter of collateral adoption."
After all, Zhuo Yichen is a modern person, and he never thought of adoptiveness.Previously, when the Zhuo family lost power and was suppressed, everyone in the relatives' house feared that it would be too late to separate the relationship, and put some money to see off the guests immediately.In the officialdom, everything needs to be managed from top to bottom. Zhuo's father has an upright personality and disdains this kind of thing. He would rather use his meager savings to return to Yuantian to live in poverty than use money to please these officials.Now, the Zhuo family is making a comeback, and there are absolutely no shortage of people who greet them with smiles.Zhuo's father didn't have a single concubine, and the Zhuo family had few heirs, so the reasons for adoption were very good, and there were quite a few people who wanted to rely on adoption to cling to him.
Zhuo Yichen asked: "I can't adopt whoever wants to, right?"
"Of course. Our parents must be willing, and we must ask someone to read the five elements and eight characters."
Zhuo Yichen felt relieved.
The matter of trying Yunyu for the first time can only be ignored.Zhuo Yichen felt quite guilty, and asked in a low voice if he wanted to make up.Zhuo Yun was taken aback for a moment, then buried his head in his neck and laughed, "Your words... good! Then how are you going to compensate me?" He had planned to stop, but now he became excited again.
Zhuo Yichen coughed a few times, and stopped Zhuo Yun's restless hands from left to right, "As compensation, I, I... I will cook for you, you can say whatever you want, and I will definitely do it."
Zhuo Yun still smiled, "You can do whatever I say? Well..." His voice gradually lowered, "How about I finish a red plum in the snow with you?"
Red plums in the snow?What kind of dish is this?Zhuo Yichen first thought of the porcelain white rice cake with red flowers printed on it.
Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Zhuo Yun said in a low voice, "Then I'll tell my brother...how to finish this dish."
"Clean white jade, first moisten it carefully so that it glows with water, and then imprint red marks..." He said while biting Zhuo Yichen's neck and earlobes lightly, sometimes lightly, sometimes hard, lightly It's just itchy when it's severe, and it hurts slightly when it's severe, leaving little red spots on the shiny skin.
Zhuo Yichen couldn't help but tremble slightly, now he understood the meaning of "red plums in the snow"!This Zhuo Yun... thanks to him thinking it out! "Don't talk nonsense, there is no such dish at all, you created it yourself..."
"Isn't it?" Zhuo Yun lowered his head with a smile, rubbing the corners of his brother's lips, "You said you will do it, but you have to keep your promise." His hands wrapped around his brother's double petals through his shirt , like kneading dough.He also said: "If you don't agree with the red plums in the snow, then... steamed with powder in Yuguwo."
Hearing the names of these so-called dishes, Zhuo Yichen felt hot on his face, and wanted to dig a hole to bury himself!I will no longer be able to look directly at rice cakes and steamed buns! "—You..." Zhuo Yichen barely grabbed Zhuo Yun's wrist and glared at him, "Don't mess around..."
Zhuo Yun smiled, pressed him down and hugged him relentlessly, and touched him from top to bottom before giving up.The time and place were too inappropriate at this time, so he would not really eat his brother for the time being, but just tease him and make him sweat.
It was already noon at that time, and the maid in the front hall came to announce the meal.
Zhuo Yichen was so fussed about by Zhuo Yun, his body broke out in a layer of hot sweat, and he was not as groggy as before, wondering if it could make the wind and cold get better sooner.Zhuo Yun helped him change his clothes again, combed his hair carefully, and tied it into a bun.The two of them were dressed neatly, and then they went out of the room.
The old Prime Minister set up a banquet, and Mr. Zhao Tingzhen must be there too, but beside Mr. Zhao sat a pure and elegant woman who looked like she was only 15 years old.Women who have not left the court rarely take a seat at the banquet, but this one can sit next to Zhao Tingzhen.Obviously she can't be Mrs. Zhao's wife, it must be his daughter.Zhuo Yun concluded that she must be the jewel in the palm of the Xiangfu - the only granddaughter of the old Xiangfu.
There was an empty seat between the old prime minister and Mr. Zhao, which must be reserved for Zhuo Yun.There was another seat vacant next to Mr. Xiang, which was reserved for Zhuo Yichen.The ancient song "Jianjia" was also played in the banquet hall, and the poetic and picturesque flavor was not forgotten during the meal.
Seeing this posture, Zhuo Yun understood.Master Xiang is asking for favor from him.At the banquet, the purpose of introducing Jiji's granddaughter who has not left the cabinet to him is obvious, the princess.Zhuo Yun sighed softly in his heart, in this world, except for his brother and parents who don't ask for anything in return, how can others not ask for favor?
Zhuo Yun didn't show any signs of expression, took his brother's hand and walked in together.The three people at the banquet table all watched the two of them approaching step by step. Although the old man and Mr. Zhao were smiling, Zhuo Yichen felt a little uneasy being watched like this, and he wanted to take his hand back , but Zhuo Yun held it tightly, not letting him slip at all.
Zhuo Yun stepped forward and took the initiative to make a "please" gesture, "Old Prime Minister, please take your seat."
"The seat is specially reserved for His Highness, and old people cannot sit there. Please, Your Highness."
Zhuo Yun didn't want to continue to detour, relying on lip service alone, he guessed that he was no match for the prime minister who had worked hard in the officialdom for many years.So, Zhuo Yun simply helped Xiang Ye get up, led him to the upper seat and sat down on his shoulders.
"Master Xiang is my benefactor, he is regarded as the lord, and it is in line with reason, so don't refuse."
After finishing speaking, before the other party rejected Zhuo Yun, he had already taken a seat at the lower seat, and now he happened to be sitting with his brother.
In the eyes of Master Xiang and Zhao Tingzhen, this scene felt rather subtle.I was wondering in my heart, who exactly is this Mr. Zhuo from His Highness?He came with His Highness the night before yesterday, still dressed in brocade clothes.Besides, it is really dangerous to force King Jing to go directly to the palace, and the person who can still carry him with him this time must be his confidant.As soon as His Highness came back, he went straight to the wing room in the backyard, and stayed there for a long time. He heard the maid said that he was giving medicine and waiting for him. Could it be that His Highness still personally served the sick?Shiji guessed half of it right, but he couldn't guess what happened later.
At the banquet, greetings and greetings were indispensable, and Zhuo Yun took them one by one, and went around in circles with the Prime Minister and Mr. Zhao, repeatedly ensuring the prosperity of the Zhao clan's official fortune, and said, "I will definitely speak well in front of my father." , but he just didn't mention anything about the side.Several times, this meaning was mentioned in the old Prime Minister's words, but Zhuo Yun just pretended that he didn't hear it at all.In the end, the old man was anxious, and said directly: "Has your highness ever considered establishing a concubine?"
Hearing this, Zhuo Yun's expression froze, and he slowly put down the jade chopsticks in his hand.
"The old man has always considered things carefully, so I rely on him so much, why did he say something so stupid?"
Master Xiang and Mr. Zhao immediately became serious, "Your Highness is about to get married, and after marriage, His Highness will be able to listen to the government before the emperor. If the old minister's words are inappropriate, please tell Your Highness clearly."
"That's right, after getting married, you can listen to the government and participate in the government, but," Zhuo Yun lowered his head and paused before lowering his voice: "The emperor has not asked me to listen to the government now."
The old Prime Minister looked worried, "Your Highness, what do you mean, after the emperor agrees to take over the government?"
"I'm not in time to be crowned (20 years old), so I'm not in a hurry to accept the side. Once I get married, the emperor will consider letting me take charge of the government. Why should I add another matter to my father, who is always busy with everything? Marriage is a small matter. It is nothing more than following the rules of the ancestors and welcoming Yulin back Palace. But when this matter got to the ears of other people, I was afraid they would accuse me, the prince, of intending to intervene in politics early. Mr. Xiang, why did you let me get into such a big trouble?"
The old Prime Minister's expression froze, he woke up suddenly, he got up and knelt down suddenly, and sighed: "The old minister is so confused, he didn't think about this, and he almost committed the crime of sowing dissension without knowing it, so please come down." crime!"
Zhuo Yun helped him up, with a calm expression on his face, and smiled slightly at him, "The prime minister is an upright gentleman, and he is outspoken. He has worked hard to assist the government for decades, and I have always been grateful. How can you convict me for such a trivial matter? As a prime minister, You have done your duty. Please help me rectify the matter of the East Palace."
The old man was in a turmoil, both puzzled and unpredictable, he actually felt that the prince was not as ruthless as before, and it might be a good thing not to be impulsive, but nothing can compete with He Li's prestige in the East Palace.Xiangye was full of thoughts, but he didn't show it on his face. He sighed, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, just treat yourself as a veteran and never say these words."
Afterwards, there was no mention of Na's affairs at the banquet.Fortunately, Xiangye's granddaughter, Zhao Han, is not a woman who likes to fight for favor. She has been indifferent and quiet. Although she heard the refusal of those words, she was not unwilling at all, but relieved, even a little bit. Secretly delighted.She just met the Lord of the East Palace, how could she fall in love at first sight?She is not a conservative woman who sticks to the rules, and she doesn't think much about this kind of marriage at all.And based on what she heard and seen, she discovered, guessed and deduced... Maybe this prince likes men? !
Zhao Han lowered his eyebrows, never looked around, and just concentrated on eating.As a time-traveling girl, she still has to do her best to play her role well, right?
—
It was the third day since Prince Jing issued his imperial edict to prison.
The prison was cold and damp, with a rotten smell.King Jing has fought in the battlefield for more than ten years, even though he has the body of a tiger and wolf, he can't bear the damp and cold, let alone the severe cold weather.He could endure the bitter cold and dampness again and again, but what was even more unbearable was the dead silence in the prison.The emperor put him in a place alone, and there was no sound except the sound of the chains of the daily errands.
Prince Jing raised his head and looked at the dark shadow cast by the prison door, which looked like an ethereal ghost.
How different is this from hell!How could he have fallen to such a point? !If he hadn't made a wrong step at the beginning and was expelled from the ancestral hall by the late emperor, the world might be his now.If he hadn't insisted on saying those harsh words at the beginning, maybe he could still maintain the illusion of being brothers and sisters with the emperor?If I had known today, back then... when I hadn't been expelled, I should have used my powerful power to directly arrest the emperor who hadn't yet been proclaimed emperor, and lock him in the backyard of the palace forever, never to see the light of day!But after all, he is not as cruel as the emperor, even if he is asked to do it all over again, he may not be cruel.If he could really make up his mind, would he be persuaded to surrender? !That's all...
Gradually, there was a sound of orderly footsteps approaching from far and near, and there was a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing outside the prison door where King Jing was imprisoned, followed by a "squeak", the prison door slowly opened inward, and the palace lanterns and torches illuminated the place. A secret passage also revealed a few figures.
A thin voice sounded from outside the cell, "The emperor is here."
It turned out to be a group of people, but only one person's footsteps really approached.Before that person came in front of him, Prince Jing frowned and lowered his eyes, not even wanting to give him a look.
A very familiar but extremely disgusting voice sounded in front of him.
"I am here to interrogate you myself."
Prince Jing suddenly raised his head, "You ordered me to be killed, why come here!"
The emperor stood motionless before him.
Prince Jing sneered, and said sneeringly, "The emperor's dragon body is precious, so I advise you not to approach me alone. Otherwise, I won't guarantee your safety..."
The emperor said: "What can you do to me?" His tone was not superior, but extremely calm.
"Yes, I'm trapped here now, and I've also earned the reputation of being unkind and disrespectful. I can neither lead troops nor take back the country...all of this is because of you!"
King Jing suddenly stood up, forced the emperor back to the cold stone wall, approached him, and threatened him word by word: "At least I can let you die with me, and the current emperor will be buried with the king, heh! Only this king can enjoy such blessings in the world. Emperor, you owe me this! At the beginning, I sent the country to you and was expelled from the ancestral hall. Now, you can only die with me. Oh, the emperor , you are not at a loss."
"You blame me for causing you to abolish the ancestral hall, and put this crime on me?" The emperor stabbed like a sword with sharp eyes, "That is your own crime!"
"Yes, it's all my own sin." Prince Jing stared at the emperor coldly, "My biggest sin! I covet my sixth younger brother. I don't care if I covet my sixth brother. If I don't say it, I won't give up. But I'm just obsessed with ghosts..."
The emperor's face changed slightly, and he became obviously paler.
King Jing approached every step of the way, with a stern voice, but there was still a look of sadness in his eyes, "Who is it! Who took it as the perfect evidence to impeach and depose me! Isn't it you! My sixth brother... "
"Yes, it's Zhen..." The emperor took a deep breath, maintaining his majesty without expression, and asked: "When the late emperor questioned your evidence, why did you admit it?!"
Prince Jing stared fixedly at the person in front of him, the gloom in his eyes gradually faded to indifference.I just feel that the emperor's heart is still as cold as before.The corners of his mouth slowly pulled up, and he sneered: "Why can't I admit it? That is the truth. But the truth is also the biggest evidence of incrimination, and you presented it with your own hands. The late emperor was furious and scolded me as inferior to a beast... Sixth Brother , do you understand my resentment?"
The emperor closed his eyes, turned his head and replied: "Don't blame me, back then... I never gave you my sincerity..." His voice was actually a little low and weak.
Prince Jing's eyes contained deep sorrow and anger.After a stalemate for a long time, he slowly let go of the emperor, only to feel disheartened and cold in his heart.In fact, he should have known this earlier, shouldn't he.
All the precious treasures he gave to his beloved were presented as evidence of adultery; the words he said about being together for a lifetime were written as crimes in the memorial; the person he was thinking of was the one who brought him down.
Prince Jing turned around, not looking at the person in front of him, and said calmly, "You kill me."
"Don't blame me," the emperor's usually calm and indifferent voice was a little hoarse, "At that time, I couldn't help myself..."
He who has not proclaimed himself emperor is always cautious and trembling, and is manipulated by his mother and concubine.Their affairs were discovered by the mother concubine, he was placed under house arrest, and those tokens of love were also found one by one. The crime of forcing brothers and sisters alone is already a heinous crime, plus other evidence of framing and slander.But when Emperor Xian asked sharply whether he coveted his brother, Prince Jing answered yes!
The emperor took out a paper book from his dragon sleeve and folded it.It was the imperial order written by the first emperor, when he knew the evidence of King Jing's crime, he was furious and ordered the ancestral hall to be abolished and never merged into the royal bloodline.
Prince Jing gave him a cold look, "Why are you showing me this? You want to humiliate me before you die?"
The emperor ignored the sarcasm, but knelt down slowly on the ground: "My son told the late emperor's spirit in heaven. Now that time has passed, my son is determined to restore King Jing, return to orthodoxy, and inherit the royal blood. If the former emperor refuses, Please punish this son and minister alone, it has nothing to do with Prince Jing."
King Jing was shocked, and looked at the emperor in disbelief, while the emperor was still kneeling on the ground, but turned his sharp eyes to him, "I will treat the incident of colluding with important court officials and usurping rebellion as never happened, and I will not pursue any crimes. .You return to your Prince Jiajing and restore the blood of the royal family."
The emperor slowly closed his eyes, trying his best to suppress the astringency in his eyes. He didn't open his eyes, maintaining a dignified and holy face, "If there is another conspiracy, I will kill it myself! Don't let me down, third brother... "
That "Third Brother" made King Jing's heart tremble heavily, he turned around and knelt down, tremblingly raised his hand, as if he wanted to caress the emperor's cheek.The emperor still closed his eyes tightly.
The hand stopped before it touched the emperor, Prince Jing dropped his hand heavily, and sighed: "So, you are trying to compensate me? But, don't you think it's a bit late?"
The emperor finally opened his eyes slowly. Prince Jing noticed that the sockets of the emperor's eyes were red, but the arrogance of the emperor kept him from crying no matter how sad and depressed he was. ash.Then, the emperor stood up slowly, and ordered the chief inspector who was waiting outside the door to pass down.
His voice has returned to its original majesty and stability, "Zhen Ling, if anyone mentions this in the future, behead." Then he turned to King Jing, "You are no longer my prisoner, get out of here."
Zhuo Yichen nestled listlessly in the bedding, and began to reflect on why this happened.Is it because he hasn't accumulated "food value" these days?Can more accumulations cure this chronic disease that is too embarrassing to talk about?
Zhuo Yun was lying side by side with him. Seeing that his elder brother was still in an ostrich state with his face buried, he persuaded him: "Let's go back and let the imperial doctor in the palace prescribe a prescription. It will definitely get better after a while."
I thought so, but my keen intuition told Zhuo Yichen that it was far from easy to get better from the chronic illness.He used to consume "food value" to improve his physique before, and it took him almost a month.In fact, this recovery speed is considered very fast. In the past, the Zhuo family did not give him less medicine. He suffered from medicine stones for many years, but it had little effect.It is still more powerful to rely on the system of "food sex".If it is to accumulate more "food and sex points" faster, it is more beneficial to enter the palace. There is no way, who let him be a snobby system master.
Zhuo Yichen sighed, and said softly: "I want to see my parents, you take me to meet them."
"Okay." Zhuo Yun hugged him and sat up, straightening his clothes and said, "It doesn't matter if you stay in the palace in the future, you can go out of the city with your waist card. Although your parents are sealed, they are still in the inner city of Beijing." , we can visit from time to time.”
"Hmm..." Zhuo Yichen replied in a low voice, still a little disappointed.Fortunate to be able to take root in Zhuo's family, he has always felt that this is his blessing.Now that I really want to leave, it's like a daughter-in-law getting married, and I still feel reluctant to part with my mother's family.
Zhuo Yun seemed to see what he was thinking, of course he would never really say "the daughter-in-law is getting married", he just smiled and said: "You have to leave your parents after all, and the son has to start a family. But, you You don't have to worry about the Zhuo family's heirs, when your father is ennobled, all relatives who ignored us before will come to the door, and those people will fight in front of your father just for the matter of collateral adoption."
After all, Zhuo Yichen is a modern person, and he never thought of adoptiveness.Previously, when the Zhuo family lost power and was suppressed, everyone in the relatives' house feared that it would be too late to separate the relationship, and put some money to see off the guests immediately.In the officialdom, everything needs to be managed from top to bottom. Zhuo's father has an upright personality and disdains this kind of thing. He would rather use his meager savings to return to Yuantian to live in poverty than use money to please these officials.Now, the Zhuo family is making a comeback, and there are absolutely no shortage of people who greet them with smiles.Zhuo's father didn't have a single concubine, and the Zhuo family had few heirs, so the reasons for adoption were very good, and there were quite a few people who wanted to rely on adoption to cling to him.
Zhuo Yichen asked: "I can't adopt whoever wants to, right?"
"Of course. Our parents must be willing, and we must ask someone to read the five elements and eight characters."
Zhuo Yichen felt relieved.
The matter of trying Yunyu for the first time can only be ignored.Zhuo Yichen felt quite guilty, and asked in a low voice if he wanted to make up.Zhuo Yun was taken aback for a moment, then buried his head in his neck and laughed, "Your words... good! Then how are you going to compensate me?" He had planned to stop, but now he became excited again.
Zhuo Yichen coughed a few times, and stopped Zhuo Yun's restless hands from left to right, "As compensation, I, I... I will cook for you, you can say whatever you want, and I will definitely do it."
Zhuo Yun still smiled, "You can do whatever I say? Well..." His voice gradually lowered, "How about I finish a red plum in the snow with you?"
Red plums in the snow?What kind of dish is this?Zhuo Yichen first thought of the porcelain white rice cake with red flowers printed on it.
Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Zhuo Yun said in a low voice, "Then I'll tell my brother...how to finish this dish."
"Clean white jade, first moisten it carefully so that it glows with water, and then imprint red marks..." He said while biting Zhuo Yichen's neck and earlobes lightly, sometimes lightly, sometimes hard, lightly It's just itchy when it's severe, and it hurts slightly when it's severe, leaving little red spots on the shiny skin.
Zhuo Yichen couldn't help but tremble slightly, now he understood the meaning of "red plums in the snow"!This Zhuo Yun... thanks to him thinking it out! "Don't talk nonsense, there is no such dish at all, you created it yourself..."
"Isn't it?" Zhuo Yun lowered his head with a smile, rubbing the corners of his brother's lips, "You said you will do it, but you have to keep your promise." His hands wrapped around his brother's double petals through his shirt , like kneading dough.He also said: "If you don't agree with the red plums in the snow, then... steamed with powder in Yuguwo."
Hearing the names of these so-called dishes, Zhuo Yichen felt hot on his face, and wanted to dig a hole to bury himself!I will no longer be able to look directly at rice cakes and steamed buns! "—You..." Zhuo Yichen barely grabbed Zhuo Yun's wrist and glared at him, "Don't mess around..."

Master Xiang and Mr. Zhao immediately became serious, "Your Highness is about to get married, and after marriage, His Highness will be able to listen to the government before the emperor. If the old minister's words are inappropriate, please tell Your Highness clearly."

Afterwards, there was no mention of Na's affairs at the banquet.Fortunately, Xiangye's granddaughter, Zhao Han, is not a woman who likes to fight for favor. She has been indifferent and quiet. Although she heard the refusal of those words, she was not unwilling at all, but relieved, even a little bit. Secretly delighted.She just met the Lord of the East Palace, how could she fall in love at first sight?She is not a conservative woman who sticks to the rules, and she doesn't think much about this kind of marriage at all.And based on what she heard and seen, she discovered, guessed and deduced... Maybe this prince likes men? !
Zhao Han lowered his eyebrows, never looked around, and just concentrated on eating.As a time-traveling girl, she still has to do her best to play her role well, right?

It was the third day since Prince Jing issued his imperial edict to prison.
The prison was cold and damp, with a rotten smell.King Jing has fought in the battlefield for more than ten years, even though he has the body of a tiger and wolf, he can't bear the damp and cold, let alone the severe cold weather.He could endure the bitter cold and dampness again and again, but what was even more unbearable was the dead silence in the prison.The emperor put him in a place alone, and there was no sound except the sound of the chains of the daily errands.
Prince Jing raised his head and looked at the dark shadow cast by the prison door, which looked like an ethereal ghost.
How different is this from hell!How could he have fallen to such a point? !If he hadn't made a wrong step at the beginning and was expelled from the ancestral hall by the late emperor, the world might be his now.If he hadn't insisted on saying those harsh words at the beginning, maybe he could still maintain the illusion of being brothers and sisters with the emperor?If I had known today, back then... when I hadn't been expelled, I should have used my powerful power to directly arrest the emperor who hadn't yet been proclaimed emperor, and lock him in the backyard of the palace forever, never to see the light of day!But after all, he is not as cruel as the emperor, even if he is asked to do it all over again, he may not be cruel.If he could really make up his mind, would he be persuaded to surrender? !That's all...
Gradually, there was a sound of orderly footsteps approaching from far and near, and there was a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing outside the prison door where King Jing was imprisoned, followed by a "squeak", the prison door slowly opened inward, and the palace lanterns and torches illuminated the place. A secret passage also revealed a few figures.
A thin voice sounded from outside the cell, "The emperor is here."
It turned out to be a group of people, but only one person's footsteps really approached.Before that person came in front of him, Prince Jing frowned and lowered his eyes, not even wanting to give him a look.
A very familiar but extremely disgusting voice sounded in front of him.
"I am here to interrogate you myself."
Prince Jing suddenly raised his head, "You ordered me to be killed, why come here!"
The emperor stood motionless before him.
Prince Jing sneered, and said sneeringly, "The emperor's dragon body is precious, so I advise you not to approach me alone. Otherwise, I won't guarantee your safety..."
The emperor said: "What can you do to me?" His tone was not superior, but extremely calm.
"Yes, I'm trapped here now, and I've also earned the reputation of being unkind and disrespectful. I can neither lead troops nor take back the country...all of this is because of you!"
King Jing suddenly stood up, forced the emperor back to the cold stone wall, approached him, and threatened him word by word: "At least I can let you die with me, and the current emperor will be buried with the king, heh! Only this king can enjoy such blessings in the world. Emperor, you owe me this! At the beginning, I sent the country to you and was expelled from the ancestral hall. Now, you can only die with me. Oh, the emperor , you are not at a loss."
"You blame me for causing you to abolish the ancestral hall, and put this crime on me?" The emperor stabbed like a sword with sharp eyes, "That is your own crime!"
"Yes, it's all my own sin." Prince Jing stared at the emperor coldly, "My biggest sin! I covet my sixth younger brother. I don't care if I covet my sixth brother. If I don't say it, I won't give up. But I'm just obsessed with ghosts..."
The emperor's face changed slightly, and he became obviously paler.
King Jing approached every step of the way, with a stern voice, but there was still a look of sadness in his eyes, "Who is it! Who took it as the perfect evidence to impeach and depose me! Isn't it you! My sixth brother... "
"Yes, it's Zhen..." The emperor took a deep breath, maintaining his majesty without expression, and asked: "When the late emperor questioned your evidence, why did you admit it?!"
Prince Jing stared fixedly at the person in front of him, the gloom in his eyes gradually faded to indifference.I just feel that the emperor's heart is still as cold as before.The corners of his mouth slowly pulled up, and he sneered: "Why can't I admit it? That is the truth. But the truth is also the biggest evidence of incrimination, and you presented it with your own hands. The late emperor was furious and scolded me as inferior to a beast... Sixth Brother , do you understand my resentment?"
The emperor closed his eyes, turned his head and replied: "Don't blame me, back then... I never gave you my sincerity..." His voice was actually a little low and weak.
Prince Jing's eyes contained deep sorrow and anger.After a stalemate for a long time, he slowly let go of the emperor, only to feel disheartened and cold in his heart.In fact, he should have known this earlier, shouldn't he.
All the precious treasures he gave to his beloved were presented as evidence of adultery; the words he said about being together for a lifetime were written as crimes in the memorial; the person he was thinking of was the one who brought him down.
Prince Jing turned around, not looking at the person in front of him, and said calmly, "You kill me."
"Don't blame me," the emperor's usually calm and indifferent voice was a little hoarse, "At that time, I couldn't help myself..."
He who has not proclaimed himself emperor is always cautious and trembling, and is manipulated by his mother and concubine.Their affairs were discovered by the mother concubine, he was placed under house arrest, and those tokens of love were also found one by one. The crime of forcing brothers and sisters alone is already a heinous crime, plus other evidence of framing and slander.But when Emperor Xian asked sharply whether he coveted his brother, Prince Jing answered yes!
The emperor took out a paper book from his dragon sleeve and folded it.It was the imperial order written by the first emperor, when he knew the evidence of King Jing's crime, he was furious and ordered the ancestral hall to be abolished and never merged into the royal bloodline.
Prince Jing gave him a cold look, "Why are you showing me this? You want to humiliate me before you die?"
The emperor ignored the sarcasm, but knelt down slowly on the ground: "My son told the late emperor's spirit in heaven. Now that time has passed, my son is determined to restore King Jing, return to orthodoxy, and inherit the royal blood. If the former emperor refuses, Please punish this son and minister alone, it has nothing to do with Prince Jing."
King Jing was shocked, and looked at the emperor in disbelief, while the emperor was still kneeling on the ground, but turned his sharp eyes to him, "I will treat the incident of colluding with important court officials and usurping rebellion as never happened, and I will not pursue any crimes. .You return to your Prince Jiajing and restore the blood of the royal family."
The emperor slowly closed his eyes, trying his best to suppress the astringency in his eyes. He didn't open his eyes, maintaining a dignified and holy face, "If there is another conspiracy, I will kill it myself! Don't let me down, third brother... "
That "Third Brother" made King Jing's heart tremble heavily, he turned around and knelt down, tremblingly raised his hand, as if he wanted to caress the emperor's cheek.The emperor still closed his eyes tightly.
The hand stopped before it touched the emperor, Prince Jing dropped his hand heavily, and sighed: "So, you are trying to compensate me? But, don't you think it's a bit late?"
The emperor finally opened his eyes slowly. Prince Jing noticed that the sockets of the emperor's eyes were red, but the arrogance of the emperor kept him from crying no matter how sad and depressed he was. ash.Then, the emperor stood up slowly, and ordered the chief inspector who was waiting outside the door to pass down.
His voice has returned to its original majesty and stability, "Zhen Ling, if anyone mentions this in the future, behead." Then he turned to King Jing, "You are no longer my prisoner, get out of here."
