true

People and horses, the rest have finished cleaning up the battlefield and hunting down the remnants of the rebels, and His Highness will return the soldier amulet at the end of the day. "

Emperor Liang glared at Imperial Concubine Yue fiercely, and his voice softened, "...Where is Jingyan, why didn't he come in person?"

"His Highness passed out after counting the battlefield and returning to the tent."

King Yu had to be killed. At this moment, Emperor Liang, who was extremely distressed, stood up anxiously when he heard that Jingyan had fallen ill.

Seeing this, Lie Zhanying hurriedly said, "I have asked the doctor accompanying the army to look at it, and they said it was caused by the late night march, the autumn rain and a cold, plus trauma, and it should be fine after taking the medicine."

"Why do your subordinates work as errands!" Emperor Liang scolded angrily, and called Gao Zhan in, "Ask the imperial doctor to take a good look at him, and use the medicine that I brought with me. Endure it yourself, no one will tell!"

Gao Zhan responded, glanced at Lie Zhanying, who was kneeling on the ground, and Concubine Yue, who was sitting beside her with her silver teeth gritted, from the corner of her eye, and leaned over.

----

After returning to Jinling, King Yu was secretly escorted to the Heavenly Prison, where he was put into the cold cell that only princes have the right to live in.

According to the outside world, Yu Wang Xiao Jinghuan died on the way to the fief before April, and the empress thought that she was deceived by Xia Jiang and other traitors because she mistakenly believed in the slander, so she was only sent to Fengyin Youju Palace.

The fugitive Xia Jiang lied about his identity as a traitor, deceived the queen, and wooed Yu Wang Jiubu of Jingzhong in an attempt to rebel.After investigation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the other members of the Xuanjing Division did not know about it, so the Holy Majesty was merciful not to be implicated.His post was temporarily replaced by Xia Dong, the envoy in charge of the mirror.

Emperor Liang gave Xiao Jinghuan everything he could, and never went to see him again.

After affixing the great seal on the will of death, Emperor Liang let out a long breath, and he aged rapidly almost within a breath.

Jingyan followed Xuanzhi into the dungeon, and watched from a distance in the dark. He just came to see his fifth brother off, but he didn't want to talk to him.

Yu Wang's ending hasn't changed much.

The only difference is that Concubine Yu has already died under the cliff, and there is no flesh and blood of Prince Yu in her belly, Xiao Jinghuan has nothing to pray to Emperor Liang, so he quietly waited in the sky prison for the gift from his father. That glass of poisoned wine.

Or he originally wanted to ask Emperor Liang a lot of questions, but after knowing that his father wanted to kill him, the answers to these questions didn't matter anymore.

Xiao Jinghuan didn't wait for the official to finish reading the death edict, he couldn't wait to grab the wine pot, and drank the whole pot of poisoned wine with his head up.He thought of Lan Jin who was still waiting for him at Naihe Bridge, and couldn't wait to drink that glass of wine.

That cold cell was a place where Brother Qi had never been in this life, but it was still stained with the prince's blood.

Jingyan vaguely hoped that Emperor Liang could let King Yu live. After all, his obsession with imperial power is not as deep as it used to be. If it weren't for the demon he planted for himself and Emperor Liang, maybe he would really Those who can preserve their glory for the rest of their lives.But if Emperor Liang really did this, he couldn't help asking why Emperor Liang insisted on killing Brother Qi, who was also his beloved son.

Even though he knew that Xiao Jingyu in this life was still alive, the sadness and fear of having nothing left after losing his close relatives and best friends were still clearly engraved in his flesh and blood body that had never experienced death.

He remembered the days and nights when he knew everything after returning to court, he remembered the pain when he galloped off his horse and got off the horse outside the empty Lin Mansion, and fell to the ground, the pain from the sand and stone embedded in his flesh and blood, he remembered the cold temperature of Mei Changsu's fingers , I remember that he was sitting on the dragon chair, and every time he lifted the ink pen, it seemed to press the weight of Brother Qi's palm.

When he came out of the dungeon, Lin Shu was waiting for him outside.

There is snow all over the sky between the two.

He thought of when he and Lin Shu were rolling and playing in the snow when he was a child, and he thought of Mei Changsu when he braved the snow to persuade him.

A snowfall separates two people from each other.

----

After Xia Jiang and King Yu left, some old faces in the palace suddenly disappeared, some fell ill, some died, the palace was quite quiet for a while, and then returned to its original appearance.

In order to welcome Concubine Jing back, the palace is renovating Zhiluo Palace, and the palace people have also bought a batch, and Concubine Yue's palace has also asked for a batch of new handymen.

Xiao Jingyan was like a sharp knife that could be unsheathed at any time in the dark night. By the time he felt the chill on his neck, it was too late—even when he died, he couldn't see the appearance of the person holding the knife.

Although she didn't know how he did it, Concubine Yue intuitively believed, or she stubbornly believed, that both Prince Qi and Prince Yu's fall from power had something to do with Prince Jing.

So for Jingxuan, for survival, Xiao Jingyan is an obstacle that must be removed.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

Fortunately, there have been a lot of new faces in the palace recently, and it is much more convenient for those people she recruited to go in and out pretending to be palace people.

All that Concubine Yue could think of was related to poisoning or assassination. Compared with those elaborately planned interlocking schemes, although this method was stupid, it was hard to guard against, so it was effective.

Especially when dealing with Prince Jing, who thinks that with armor and awe-inspiring righteousness, he can resist everything.

Concubine Yue Gui concubine who thought this way sent out the first big gift.

But the palace man who poisoned him never returned.

She waited for a long time but there was no movement, and when she sent someone to investigate again, the person seemed to have disappeared from the world without a trace.

He spent three or five days cautiously with anxiety, and he was relieved to see that everything was calm and Prince Jing was doing as usual, and he didn't seem to be asking questions.

Perhaps the maidservant was just too timid, afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she ran away by herself.

So after a few days, she repeated the old trick again, this time sending a eunuch to carefully bury a poisonous needle in the clothes given by the emperor.

The eunuch didn't come back again, so the next day Prince Jing wore this dress and entered the palace to thank him, walking like the wind.

Li Gang took the eunuch's body with black blood in his mouth and put it out of the palace gate on the carriage carrying vegetables. The eunuch had the poisonous needle stuck in his neck.

After that, there were several times, big and small, big enough to bribe people in the world to assassinate, small enough to instigate blame, but none of them succeeded.

As if an invisible hand firmly blocked Prince Jing from all plots and plots.

The owner of this hand didn't seem to have any intention of handing over the guilt of Concubine Yue to Emperor Liang, it was just for the protection of the soldiers in the future.

Then it shouldn't be Prince Jing.

But Jinling is at the feet of the emperor, how could there be a person who can cover the sky with one hand, but he didn't notice it at all?

Finally, Concubine Yue Gui couldn't bear it anymore and chose to do it at the New Year's Eve banquet.

A plate of poisoned Tai Shi Cake passed through the hands of so many people in the dining room, even if they doubted themselves, they could easily evade it.

But the noble concubine Yue saw that the palace man who carried the plate unexpectedly delivered the plate of Taishi Cake to King Xian's table.

When King Xian saw the plate of poisonous pastries that should have been delivered to Jingyan's table in front of him, he was so frightened that he almost stood up, exchanged a panicked look with his concubine, and dared not move his chopsticks.

Concubine Yue was sitting beside Emperor Liang, also covered in cold sweat.

Just as he was terrified, Lin Shu, who had given vegetables to the residences of the ministers, came back.

Emperor Liang was in high spirits, and when he saw Lin Shu came back from an errand, he beckoned him to come closer, "You have worked hard this year, and you have opened a mansion again, and you should choose a dish, count it as what I bestow on you. .”

Lin Shu didn't refuse, nor did he want those exquisite dishes, but asked with bright eyes, "Is there any Taishi Cake?"

Emperor Liang laughed amused by his childishness, pointed to the plate of pastries on Jingxuan's table and waved, here you are, and the plate of jujube paste cake on Jingyan's table is also for you! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Shu happily took two plates of pastries, and when he walked out, he picked up a piece from each plate and put them in his mouth.

King Xian's face turned pale immediately.

Concubine Yue almost crushed the flagon.

Emperor Liang was drunk and hazy, but she clearly saw that Lin Shu's piece of Taishi cake was hidden in his sleeve when he opened his mouth, and he only put the jujube cake into his mouth.

——He knows that there is poison in Taishi Cake!

Concubine Yue fell down heavily beside Emperor Liang. She was well versed in how to survive in the harem. She had already learned when to cry and when to laugh.

But now she couldn't laugh anymore.

She understood that his son would never win.

——Because Lin Shu and his imperial guards are the hand that covers the sky.

This hand can be a net to protect Prince Jing, and it can also turn into iron claws to strangle her and Jing Xuan's throats at any time when needed.

There was nothing they could do but wait quietly for the knife to come down and kill them when it needed to fall.

------

Unlike the previous life, Jingyan is now the most powerful prince in the court, and there is no need to hide his edge in front of Emperor Liang and his officials. Concubine Yue and King Xian regard themselves as mortal enemies, so it is better to fight with all their strength .

King Xian was soon beaten to the point of being powerless to fight back, one scandal after another was uncovered one after another, within a year, as long as the officials attached to him were demoted, those who were imprisoned were also demoted.

At the beginning, Emperor Liang tried to protect his second son with the majestic imperial power, but soon he found that this unworthy son could not be kept at all, and although Jingyan was merciless to this brother, he had no mercy on Emperor Liang's struggle for power. interest.

That night, Emperor Liang dreamed that his five sons were sitting on a high platform with the seven-bead prince crown on their heads, and Jing Xuan was sitting next to him, wearing the prince's uniform.

A young man in white came up to them, and they all stood up to greet them, with smiles on their faces, and they called out, Mr. Su.

The young man in white was sitting at the banquet, looking gentle and steady, with a literati temperament.

But Xiao Xuan knew he couldn't let this
