Weiyang Palace——

The weather in October has turned cold, and a gust of cold wind blows through the air from time to time, rolling up the residual leaves and flying in the air.The sun above the head exudes a tepid light, shining on the body, there is a kind of cold feeling.Unlike in the past, today's Weiyang Palace does not have a group of guards, and the gate is also tightly closed.There was a sense of tension.

Liu Che subconsciously clenched his fists and turned his head to look at Han Yan.

"It's okay, Your Highness!" Han Yan gently shook Liu Che's arm and comforted, "It will be fine."

Liu Che nodded solemnly, took a deep breath, and walked up the steps slowly.Han Yan pursed her lips and followed behind.Jin Boot stepped on the bluestone steps step by step, and his vision became more and more open. When he reached Weiyang Palace, Han Yan subconsciously looked back, and the entire Han Palace was in front of him. There was no flower decoration in midsummer, no more The spring is full of greenery, and it looks so empty and chilling.In a trance, there is an illusion that I am far away from the past.Han Yan clenched her fists subconsciously.A big warm hand suddenly wrapped around Han Yan's clenched fist, Liu Che stood beside him and said lightly, "Let's go in!"

Han Yan blinked, but did not speak.He just turned around and pushed open the closed door.

The sound of "creaking and creaking" came to my ears, and the vision opened up with the gap in the gate. The sun of the early winter shone into the Weiyang Palace through the gap in the gate, and Han Yan happened to see the maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground.They were all palace servants who had served Emperor Jing closely in the past, and the one kneeling at the front was Chuntuo, the head of Weiyang Palace.

Empress Dowager Dou sat behind the first table, her face was haggard, her eyes were bloodshot, the eldest princess half-kneeled beside Empress Dou, and Gillian sat on the other side of Empress Dou, holding the emaciated Empress Dou with one hand. Arm, the other hand was placed on Queen Dowager Dou's back and kept stroking.Queen Wang stood on the left side of the eldest princess, one step away from the eldest princess.In the past few months, Concubine Bian Yunshu, who had been unparalleled in beauty, knelt in front of Empress Dowager Dou, trembling like a frightened little rabbit. King Liang stood beside him with a determined face.Seeing Liu Che and Han Yan who pushed the door and entered, hesitation flashed in their eyes, which immediately turned into murderous intent.

Listening to the movement at the door, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but dryly said, "Is Che'er back?"

Liu Che suppressed the doubts in his heart, walked forward, greeted Empress Dowager Dou, "If you go back to grandma, it's Che'er who has returned."

"Che'er, where did you go yesterday? I sent people to Nanying in the middle of the night to look for you, but I couldn't find you!" Queen Dowager Dou said, her voice sobbing.

When Liu Che heard this, he was startled, and a feeling of uneasiness spread all over his body in an instant.He swallowed nervously, and said with difficulty: "Yesterday, I went to train outside the city with everyone from the Habayashi Army. Grandmother...where is Father?"

"Your father..." Empress Dowager Dou burst into tears when she heard the words, "Your father died in the middle of the night last night!"

Liu Che only felt a bang, like five thunders hitting the top, and his mind went blank for an instant.He opened his mouth, and let out a series of neighing sounds from his throat, like a wounded beast, and asked in disbelief: "How is this possible, isn't Father a good two days ago?"

"It was the King of Liang! It was the King of Liang who killed the emperor!" Gillian, who was guarding Queen Dowager Dou, said suddenly.She pointed at Liu Wu with a look of resentment. "It was Liang Wang who colluded with Bian Yunshu to kill the father!"

"I didn't, I didn't, it wasn't me!" Upon hearing this, Bian Yunshu shook her head desperately, and shouted, "The Queen Mother knows everything, it's really not me!"

Liu Che only felt dizzy, and he stared straight at Queen Mother Dou, feeling a dry mouth. "Grandma, you were joking just now! Father, he... Father, he..."

"Che'er! My poor grandson!" Queen Dowager Dou opened her arms and said to Liu Che. "I'm sorry for you, I haven't even seen the last side of your father—"

"I don't believe it!" Liu Che roared suddenly. "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

As he spoke, he pushed away Han Yan who wanted to hold him back, lifted his clothes and roared all the way into the inner hall.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Father..."

"Your Highness!" Han Yan involuntarily took a step forward and cried out worriedly.

"Hey!" Empress Dowager Dou sighed softly and waved her hands. "Forget it! Let him stay with his father for a while! Over the years, Qi'er has loved him the most."

Han Yan nodded numbly, glanced at Wang Zhi who was standing quietly and never said a word, and then looked at Liang Wang beside him, without hiding the suspicion and hatred in his eyes!

"Didn't the imperial physician say that His Majesty's condition is stable? Why did he suddenly die now?" Han Yan looked straight at Wang Zhi and asked softly.

"It was the king of Liang who poisoned the emperor to death!" Gillian stood up abruptly, walked in front of Han Yan, and pointed at the king of Liang. "Ah Yan, it is Liang Wang Liu Wu who is rebellious and poisoned the father. He also imprisoned all of us in the Weiyang Palace. He wants to usurp the throne!"

"It's not me!" King Liang suddenly shouted angrily. "I said it's not me, why don't you believe me?"

"Not you?" Gillian sneered. "In the middle of the night last night, who sent away all the servants of Weiyang Palace to be alone with the father? And who gave the medicine to the father with the soup? Why did the father vomit blood after drinking the soup, and suddenly disappeared? You Who would believe it if it wasn’t you?”

"I just wanted to see Brother Huang last night! This is not the first time, how do I know there is something wrong with that soup?" King Liang retorted loudly.Then he walked up to Empress Dowager Dou and asked hopefully, "Queen Mother, do you believe what I say? I really didn't lie!"

"If you don't have evil intentions, what about the soldiers outside?" Queen Mother Dou asked faintly, looking like a haggard tree.

"I—" King Liang choked for a moment.

"You have premeditated plan at all!" Empress Dowager Dou gave King Liang a heartbroken look. "Wu'er! I've been partial to you since I was a child, and I've always wanted to give you anything good. Why don't you need to be good at your clothing, transportation, housing, and food? Even the emperor's special trip for you to enter Chang'an, you still have What are you dissatisfied with? How can you be so cruel!"

As Empress Dowager Dou said, she patted the table in front of her with her arms, as if hitting Liang Wang's heart with a sound.

"I didn't! I said I didn't kill the emperor, so why don't you believe me?" King Liang shouted hysterically, "That's right, I really didn't change my mind. Is there anything wrong with wanting to be the emperor? Isn’t it my mother who asked me to take the throne after the emperor’s brother passed away? Later Liu Che became the crown prince, but I didn’t say anything. But now it seems that Liu Che is qualified to be the crown prince? His mother looks like, what qualifications does he have to inherit? Guozuo?"

"Empress Mother—" Wang Zhi suddenly knelt down in front of Empress Dowager Dou upon hearing this. "I know I was wrong, Queen Mother, I—"

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Dou yelled. "No matter what Wang Zhi is, this is not the reason why you poisoned your brother. The medicine last night was tested by Chun Tuo, and he was fine after drinking it. After you gave Qi'er the medicine, Qi'er vomited blood And died, the imperial doctor said that the medicine was poisoned with arsenic, what else can you say?" "It's not me, I just want to see Brother Huang. He and I are brothers. Poison him?" King Liang stared straight at Queen Dowager Dou, "Queen Mother, why don't you believe it?"

"Liu Wu, dismiss the guards you arranged outside, and I will believe your words!" Dou Tai said expressionlessly from behind.

"It's impossible!" King Liang shook his head brazenly and said. "My queen, you don't believe my words at all, you don't believe my words, you are just deceiving me! Now, I can't turn back. I have no way out except to seek the court and usurp the throne. You forced me to do all this, my mother. of."

Liang Wang said, stepping back step by step.

"Liu Wu, what are you going to do?" the eldest princess asked suddenly. "Don't do stupid things, there are so many soldiers in the southern camp and the northern camp, even if you kill us all, you won't be able to accomplish anything."

"How could I touch you!" Liang Wang chuckled. "Although you all don't believe me, we are close relatives of the first-milk compatriots. I will not let you have any accidents. Don't worry, I will not do anything to you after I succeed. You are still the honorable empress dowager, still It's the eminent eldest princess, I can even let my eldest son marry Gillian, and Gillian will still be the crown princess at that time, and it won't change..."

Han Yan retreated to the gate of Weiyang Palace calmly, took out a firework and firecracker from her arms while the others were chattering, lit it and watched the firework burst in the sky, and the words "action" appeared , Only then did I feel relieved.

"What are you doing?" King Liang turned his head startled by the sound of fireworks, looked at Han Yan and asked sharply, "What did you do just now?"

"I did something fun!" Han Yan laughed softly as she fiddled with the fireworks stick in her hand.

"You are looking for death!" Liang Wang sneered, and ordered loudly: "Come on, give me Han Yan—"

With a sound of "swish", Han Yan pulled out the soft sword from her bosom, and a flash of extremely purple with the sound of piercing the sky went towards King Liang, wrapped around King Liang's neck like a snake, and Han Yan jumped on the opportunity After getting behind King Liang, he said to the guards swarming in front of him, "Don't move, or I'll wipe his neck!"

The neck was entangled by cold steel, the sharp blade pierced the skin, and traces of blood flowed down the blade.Feeling the tingling pain on his neck, Liu Wu's heart tightened slightly, and he immediately ordered: "Don't move!"

Han Yan snorted coldly, and led Liu Wu back to Weiyang Palace step by step.

In the hall, Empress Dowager Dou smelled the smell of blood in the air, and her expression changed drastically. "Wu'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Mother!" Liu Wu looked at Empress Dowager Dou's anxious expression, and pleaded, "Mother, Han Yan is going to kill me! Please save me and let him go!"

"Ayan—" Empress Dowager Dou called out immediately.

"Empress Dowager, King Liang has already changed all the guards patrolling the palace, and he only wants to change the dynasty. Once he is released, he will kill the prince immediately." Han Yan said coldly.

"This..." Empress Dowager Dou was also in a dilemma. On one side was her son, on the other was her grandson, and there was a dead son in between. Her heart ached no matter which way she turned.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I won't do anything to King Liang. It's just to restrict his actions. When General Zhou and the others enter Weiyang Palace, everything will be easy to talk about." Seeing Queen Mother Dou hesitated, Han Yan immediately said.

"No, I'm going to kill King Liang to avenge my father." Liu Che's voice suddenly came from the inner room, with a bleak tone and awe-inspiring murderous intent.

"Queen, save me!" King Liang immediately called for help.

"Wu'er!" Empress Dowager Dou was heartbroken.But he couldn't open his mouth to plead for mercy.

"Queen, I really didn't kill the emperor. I am your only son now, do you have the heart to treat me like this?" King Liang begged. "Queen, save me!"

"Wu Er!" Queen Dowager Dou listened to King Liang's pleading, her whole body was in pain as if being torn apart. "My Wu'er!"

"Mother, King Liang is your only youngest son after all. I was pampered by you on weekdays, so I came up with this inappropriate idea. It was also a momentary thought, and I must have regretted it now. I promise that I will wait for this matter. After that, the concubine will not harm King Liang's life. How about letting King Liang stay in the palace with you?" Wang Zhi, who had been invisible for a long time, suddenly said. "Han Yan, don't let King Liang go yet. Ask Chuntuo to bandage him so that he won't lose too much blood."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Che roared like a wounded beast: "Mother! He is the murderer who killed the emperor, how can you let him go?"

"Che'er, don't be ignorant." Wang Zhi scolded: "The palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. Aren't you embarrassing the Queen Mother? Don't be an unfilial person!"

"Mother—" Liu Che's eyes were tearing with hatred.

"Han Yan, don't let him go, do you want to resist the order?" Wang Zhi ignored Liu Che and said to Han Yan.

Han Yan frowned when she heard this, and surveyed everyone in the hall. Apart from herself, Liu Che and A-Jiao, even the Eldest Princess had a bit of worry in her eyes.Not to mention the Empress Dowager Dou who already looked hopeful and grateful, sighing secretly in her heart, blood is still thicker than water!Immediately, unwillingly, he let go of the soft sword, and King Liang felt the shackles around his neck disappear, and immediately hid behind Queen Mother Dou as if fleeing.Shocked and shouted: "Mother!"

Han Yan walked forward a few steps calmly, keeping a distance from King Liang that could be controlled even if there was a slight abnormality.

"Wu'er! Do you hurt? Hurry up and bandage it up." Queen Dowager Dou had a cold face at first, but in the end she couldn't help calling Liang Wang loudly, and couldn't help but ask.

"Mother, if you have a mother, it won't hurt you." Liang Wang coaxed his eyes.

"Wu Er!" Empress Dowager Dou sighed, waved her hand, and asked Chun Tuo to bandage King Liang hastily.Originally, King Liang's injury was not serious, it was just scratched a little by the soft sword.However, if everyone cares about it, it will be chaotic.

After Chuntuo bandaged him, King Liang touched his neck, looked at Liu Che, who was addicted to others, and Han Yan, who looked indifferent, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, and said softly, "My queen, I really didn't kill Brother Huang. But Che'er doesn't believe it at all, he will definitely kill me after he ascends the throne."

"No, no, I will watch Che'er." Wang Zhi said immediately.

Liang Wang looked at Wang Zhi's eyes with contempt, and continued to the Queen Mother Dou: "Mother, if you don't help me now, I will die. Why don't you make an order and let me be the emperor! I promise, I will never hurt you!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Han Yan immediately looked at Queen Mother Dou nervously, and quietly clenched the soft sword in her hand.

At this time, teams of guards also broke into Weiyang Palace with swords and spears, and surrounded Wang Zhi, Liu Che and Han Yan.

In an instant, swords were on the verge of breaking out.
