, wrote and participated in the play, the explosion of the cargo ship with black fire was not accidental but caused by Yu Wang's brother-in-law Zhu Yue of Dali Temple.

Emperor Liang was furious and ordered Zhu Yue to be interrogated by the three divisions of Dali Temple, Xuanjing Division and the Ministry of Punishment.

When the queen heard the news from her eyeliner, she ran to Emperor Liang in embarrassment, knelt down and begged him to keep King Yu in Jinling.

It was as if she was not praying that this son, who was not related to him by blood, would bring her greater power and status, but just an ordinary mother's mediocre wish for her son to be with her knees every day.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the shame of the royal family during the interrogation of the three divisions? You should ask Jing Huan to explain such a big crime!"

Emperor Liang ordered someone to help the queen up, and then executed all the servants around him who were on duty that day in front of her.

Seeing the resentment in the eyes of this woman who was whiteheaded with him, combined with the hideous people who appeared in his dream every night, he shivered.

But also more determined.

It's not that he doesn't love Jing Huan, it's just that in the past year, the hideous faces of those people in his dreams have become more and more clear.

Among those people holding knives and axes, he saw the faces of Jing Huan and Linglong.

----

The honored king Xiao Jinghuan disobeyed my will, his words and deeds were immoral, and he was denounced and demoted to be the prince of Shuangzhu. He moved out of Beijing immediately and lived in Qingzhou.

"No, that's not right." Hearing this edict, Banruo was stunned for a while, and couldn't believe that the chess board they had been planning for so many years was removed before they were halfway through. His Highness is wrong, but it is not to the point of demolishing the government, there must be other reasons!"

The Hua woman beside her cried, "Since the imperial army was reorganized, the guards have been extremely strict. Even if the remaining Hua family in the palace finds out something, it is almost impossible to pass the news outside the palace. Now even if something happens Don't know anything."

Banruo then shed a tear, wiped it off hard, and said sharply, "Why are you crying! We haven't finished the master's last order, so we have to call everyone to inquire about the news. I want to know what this edict is for!"

King Yu suddenly laughed and walked in, waving his hands, "No need."

"Your Highness? Why does Your Highness say that? You always have to find the crux of the problem, and maybe there is still room for maneuver! Usually, relying on these two things alone, you will never be able to poke the emperor's sore spot, not to mention demotion, even drop the pearl." Not necessarily."

King Yu just laughed, leaning back and forth, "We are bound in a cocoon! Prajna, we are bound in a cocoon!"

"Your Highness, do you know why?" Banruo thought that just before the servant who delivered the decree came, someone from the Queen's Palace came to send a letter and handed King Yu a text message, and asked hurriedly, "Is it the Queen's Empress? Know what?"

"It's not that the queen mother knows something, it's the emperor father who knows."

"... Your Majesty? What does he know?"

"Father has often had nightmares in the past year, and often wakes up from nightmares."

Banruo hesitated for a moment, "I've heard about this too."

"A few days ago, my mother heard my father calling my name in my sleep, and said, 'You really know, you and Linglong really want to kill me'." Yu Wang said with a miserable smile.

Banruo's face turned pale suddenly, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Your Highness is saying...the emperor knows that you know your identity?"

"That's right. Although I don't know how he learned about it, judging from that sentence and his abnormal edict, this is the only explanation."

"..."

"My Highness and I have always been secretive. The emperor must have spent a lot of time investigating this matter, and it took more than a day or two."

"So we are in a cocoon." Yu Wang poured himself a glass of wine, poured himself a drink, "Do you know, I have inquired, the origin of this nightmare of the father is that Xia Chun found out that we blamed Qi It started with Wang’s sachet.” After speaking, he laughed again.

"...!"

"The tinder we threw to Brother Qi ended up burning on ourselves. The most ridiculous thing is that I am the same as King Qi in this matter, and I don't even have a chance to argue - because my father doesn't even know how to ask."

"Your Highness, don't worry, we still have a chance...Xia Shouzun contacted me yesterday and said that he wanted to—" "Prajna, we lost, that's all." King Yu waved her hand and interrupted her, "You don't have to follow me Fief, I bought you a property in Jinling, you can go."

"Your Highness!"

------

King Yu was the second prince to be relegated to the fiefdom, but when he left, no people saw him off, and none of the officials who were familiar with him on weekdays showed up. A group of people, three or four carriages passed through the lively and lively The street gradually moved away from Jinling.

No one expected that ten days later, the news of King Yu's death came.

It is said that the soldiers who led the way took the wrong way, and the group had to walk the rugged mountain road. At night, Yuwang's carriage was startled by the howling of wolves, and he fell to the bottom of the cliff together with the princess, leaving no bones.

When the news of King Yu's death came, Jingyan was in the mansion criticizing a group of newly promoted officials from the Ministry of War with Meng Zhi. Meng Zhi saw that he had been silent for a long time, and couldn't help comforting him, "This matter has nothing to do with Your Highness."

Jingyan shook his head, "The matter of igniting the black fire on the boat was a clue I gave Shen to pursue. In the Qingguogong case, Lin Chen sent people to escort the witnesses along the way... Although he and the princess were not killed by me, they also died indirectly. I have it."

"In his previous life, he may have died with guilt, but in this life, he is not guilty enough to die."

"Your Highness is saying that it was not an accident that Prince Yu's carriage fell off the cliff...could it be Concubine Yue?"

"Those soldiers are all from Gyeongju. It's strange to lead them the wrong way, and they have to walk at night. Although this woman is not good at maneuvering, she is very sophisticated and merciless when it comes to insidious schemes, just like she killed in Zhaoren Palace back then. If the princess fails, she will ask archers to shoot me... Concubine Yue's hometown is in Yunnan, and Qingzhou is close to Yunnan, so it should not be difficult for her to find someone to do something... I should be on guard."

"Your Highness..." Meng Zhi saw that his expression was different, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

Jingyan looks out of the window, twirling his sleeves with his fingers, "He often said that he was ruthless in his actions...but back then he even let Princess Yu and her unborn child go."

----

When King Xian entered the palace, his expression was flustered. Seeing Concubine Yue's calm expression, he hurriedly turned away the people around him, "How can Concubine Mother be so calm! Something big happened outside!"

"What happened? It's just that a person died."

"It's Jing Huan, King Yu! He's dead!" Jing Xuan trembled in panic, "The last time my concubine said she should vent her anger, I persuaded her. What's wrong with my concubine, why did she kill him!"

"The queen and I, you and the king of Yu have been fighting for so many years, he found out the private gun house and hurt you, and now you have to vent your anger." Concubine Yue said in a low voice, "Besides, I only confess to those people who neglected you. For some itineraries, take some detours and take some mountain roads and waterways to make him suffer, who would have thought that he would die because of such unlucky luck."

"It's really not the hands of the concubine mother?"

"I'm in a hurry to kill him. When he arrives in the fief in the future, if he falls ill or dies in a few years, the emperor won't be able to see him, so he won't be too sad. It's good now, King Yu has just left the capital , the emperor is full of guilt, and some are crying."

"Then, if the royal father finds out, it won't implicate the concubine mother!"

"...he won't check."

"Why did the concubine say that?"

"He won't." Concubine Yue smiled coldly, "I have slept with him for so many years, and I know your father very well. No matter what reason King Yu was demoted this time, the result is the same: The emperor was wary of him. Although his death, the emperor was sad, but he was relieved. This kind of thinking is like an ancient tree that is about to fall, and one day it will fall to the ground and die. It's a pity, but I also feel relieved, because I no longer have to worry about trees falling suddenly and hurting people when you don't know."

Concubine Yue caressed the foreheads of her father and son, with a self-deprecating smile in her complacency, "See your father clearly, he loves you, and that's all. If one day Xiao Jingyan kills you, he As an emperor, you can't actually protect you. You can only cry a few times. His tears are useless to us, only the throne is real. Now that King Yu is dead, you are only a few miles away from the throne. With Xiao Jingyan, mother will help you get rid of him even if she does everything she can."

Just as Concubine Yue had guessed.

Emperor Liang was so sad that he didn't drink a drop of water for a day, and cried at his desk, and ordered people to kill all the people who escorted King Yu.

Regardless of King Yu's body of guilt, he was buried with the ceremony of Prince Qizhu.

But from the beginning to the end, he never asked people to thoroughly investigate this suspicious matter, even when he heard the report that the river and shoals under the cliff were rushing and the bones of King Yu and Princess could not be found, he only shed tears, but never sent more Many people are looking for it.

Yuwang's death did not cause any bigger waves. To the common people, he was just one of the many dignitaries who didn't care about their life or death, and they didn't care about his life or death; The moment Yu Wang left Jinling, there was no difference between him and death.

In just two months, Jinling was as calm as ever.

When the autumn hunting season came, the emperor even took everyone to the Jiu'an Mountain Hunting Palace as usual, the concubine Yue accompanied him with a clever smile, and Jingyan and the other princes also accompanied him.

Because Meng Zhi was accompanying him, the vice-commander Lin Shu had to stay in the palace to protect the safety of the empress, empress dowager and all the concubines who stayed in the imperial city.

As soon as Jingrui and Yujin arrived at the hunting palace, they went hunting together, and Yujin clamored to bring back a mink to Lin Shu.

They brought back a bloody
