"Father, what will Your Majesty do?" Ji Muqing went straight back to the mansion and hid the portrait.He didn't look, and the others didn't ask when they returned.

Ji Huaiyuan rubbed his fingers, and comforted him, "Father, how can you guess the holy will, but although many ministers are staying in the palace and kneeling to ask the king to tell the truth, after leaving them alone for a while, they will only start to think about how to block the world. Youyou's mouth. After all, it doesn't matter if you get the truth, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the reason why the prince is a prince has nothing to do with the queen."

"Really?" Ji Muqing squatted on the chair, raised his eyes and asked.

Ji Huaiyuan could sense the unease in the room.He sighed, and said truthfully: "In the beginning, it was indeed because the queen was favored that the king loved the house and the birds and cultivated them carefully."

He paused, and said slowly: "The emperor's heart is also the heart, and there is reason for love. You see, the emperor has always favored the crown prince, and King Ning was not treated well since he was a child. At first, everyone thought it was because of meeting Concubine Mi, but Ning After the king himself moved to other palaces, the king went there several times, but in the end he was still angered by King Ning’s arrogance—the crown prince is not just the son of the queen, just like King Ning is not just the son of concubine Mi. You see Now that King Ning has done something, won't he also be favored by the emperor?"

"Father, it's different. This time it's a state matter." Ji Muqing lowered his head, "For now, no matter how many people's hearts have been bribed by the queen's three-year lurking in the palace, and how many things she has done to endanger Donggan, let's say that the current Chijin All the hearts of His Highness towards him have been shaken by this disturbance, let alone in the future... His Highness should have been a wise king who is admired by all the stars."

Unknowingly, Ji Huaiyuan was seated aside.Seeing his son's disarray, he hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Do you think your majesty didn't know at that time?"

Afterwards, Ji Huaiyuan thought that Ji Muqing would ask back in surprise, but he just said coldly: "I don't want to know if your lord dealt with the queen in time, after all, now that the queen's bones are cold, she can't crawl out of hell to save her son." , the king will most likely choose to follow the people's will when he is in a dilemma."

After speaking, he raised his head and smiled, and jumped off the chair.

Ji Huaiyuan didn't hold him back, and could only watch him open the door. Before leaving, he stopped and said, "Father, in the past, I valued both the country and His Highness, but later found that I still have more selfish intentions. Today's Ji Muqing , family and country are finally equally important.”

He turned his head slowly, and just happened to let the afterglow of the setting sun outline his profile, as if he was young and wanton, "I will enter the palace now, and I will ask the emperor to allow me to lead the army. With the red gold in my pocket, the situation of your highness will be much better—— —I hope your lord can understand.”

……

After hesitating for a long time, Ji Muqing still decided to wear a strong suit under the official uniform.He came out of the bedroom just in time to send the last ray of light away.It was Shi Shiyan who came forward and reported: "Master, the subordinates have already gone after General Zhao Ke, and Fei Ge sent a letter back just now, saying that they have not caught up yet."

Ji Muqing's brows became solemn for a moment.Zhao Ke didn't want to hurry back, the accompanying envoys were all in carriages, and there was also a sick and weak son, so there was no reason to go so fast.

"Let them continue to chase." Ji Muqing lowered his expression, "If you don't see anyone in the main camp, you can send an order to the border defense on behalf of General: Strictly guard tonight and strengthen patrols."

"By the way, there are more." He stopped Duan Yan who was about to leave, thought for a while, and still gave out the things in his arms, "When the general left the palace, he saw a few new faces at the gate of the palace."

Duan Yan looked at the talisman of the Nanya Forbidden Army that could be called out in the palm of his hand, and was at a loss for a moment, "What is the master doing?"

"There may be changes in the palace tonight. I may stay in Changhua Palace for a long time. If you find anything wrong outside at that time, just go out of the palace and bring troops over." Ji Muqing took the finger guard from the table and left.

"No, master." Duan Yan followed closely, "This subordinate has also heard about the incident. Now the matter is not clear, and this subordinate does not feel that His Highness the Crown Prince is passive and has no chance to stand up."

Ji Muqing walked quickly through the long corridor, walked to the courtyard, and said, "I'm afraid your Highness hasn't slowed down yet, so naturally he won't do anything. It's just that tomorrow, everyone will know who the Queen is. Few have lost momentum."

Duan Yan was stunned, "Looking at it this way, Chi Jin is still acting too hastily this time. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince values ​​human life more than the King, and he is thinking of childbirth. After ascending the throne, he may help Chi Jin a little bit."

"Let me ask you, if part of the imperial guards in the palace are rebellious, and your majesty is assassinated and unable to transfer the imperial guards from the northern or southern yamen, what should your Highness do?" Ji Muqing said.

"Then His Highness the Crown Prince can first transfer troops on behalf of the king."

Ji Muqing stopped suddenly, turned around and said, "What if His Highness doesn't do it?" Duan Yan was stopped by the question.He raised the corner of his mouth a little, and said again: "Everything is unclear now, and it is most likely to make people act impulsively. This is what the other party wants: the emperor is bound in the Changhua Palace, and the crown prince does not move. gone."

***

"Master, Your Majesty agreed with several important court officials to enter the Changhua Palace to discuss righteousness, and soon passed out from anger." As the night fell, Mo Yu quietly returned with the news, "Now Your Majesty has a severe headache. , the important officials are still waiting in the palace, and I really can't see you."

After Xiao Beichen returned to the hall, he told everyone to stay away, and he never asked anyone to light the lamp.Now that he can't read the book anymore, he can only make some tea to drink, "Forget it, tell Mr. Xue to make my father drink the antidote."

Mo Yu saw that he looked like nothing happened, but he still couldn't hold back and asked: "Master, Aunt Su came to visit just now, but did you say something unpleasant?"

"Most of them are facts, and I can't choose not to listen." Xiao Beichen smiled wryly.After a long time, he looked at the person again and said, "This hall knows that you came to the palace with your mother, and you have different feelings for her than others. It is precisely because of this that Aunt Su came to you. I hope you can Support this plan that has been in the works for many years."

Mo Yu nodded and said sincerely, "But the subordinates will only be loyal to the master from the beginning to the end."

Xiao Beichen smiled, and didn't intend to continue talking about it.Afterwards, he looked at the closed screen window and found someone moving, so he asked helplessly, "Has General Ji entered the palace?"

"I've been in the Changhua Palace for some time." Mo Yu followed his line of sight and found that someone was bugging him. "It seems that I have reached a consensus with all the ministers."

"My hall actually doesn't like him disregarding his consideration for this hall, he will always hurt himself." Xiao Beichen sat down slowly, and lit a lotus lantern, "but this hall is always the one who compromises first in the end."

The flames reflected in the eyes leaving light spots, faint but comforting.

"Go and bring that thing up." Xiao Beichen pursed his lips, and said calmly, "Go ask General Ji again, and say that my highness... misses him very much."

Ji Muqing didn't have time to meet Xiao Tianze in the future. To be more precise, the ministers who stayed in the palace could only pace back and forth in the palace after being stunned, unable to enter or leave.

After receiving Xiao Beichen's summons, Ji Muqing hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to go to the appointment.

When he arrived at the East Palace, there were almost no people there, and the Qinghui Palace was even more deserted, even half of the palace lights were turned off.When he pushed open the door of the main hall, he saw Xiao Beichen sitting at the tea table.

There was only a single lamp on the table, which could not clearly illuminate Xiao Beichen's expression. "What is your Highness calling me for?" After hesitating for a long time, he decided to ask first.

Xiao Beichen turned his head to look at him, and said bluntly, "Are you going to fight?"

"I remember that you promised to discuss this kind of matter with me first." Ji Muqing heard these words again before he could reply.He opened his mouth, looked up and saw the loneliness in the other party's eyes.

He took a deep breath before walking forward and said, "Then I'll tell you now, is it okay?"

"Okay, let's sit down and talk." Xiao Beichen quickly replied softly.Afterwards, seeing Ji Muqing sitting across from him cautiously, he pushed the teacup on the table without paying attention, "It took a lot of talking before, so let's moisten our throat first."

At night, Ji Muqing mostly did not deal with affairs, but the cup in front of him was strong tea.He paused, and tentatively glanced at the opposite side, "Let His Highness worry about you."

Xiao Beichen smiled and made a gesture to take back the cup of tea, but Ji Muqing took it first and drank it down.Afterwards, Ji Muqing looked at the eyebrows and eyes in front of him, and felt a sense of strangeness that he had never felt before.

"What are you looking at me for?" Xiao Beichen met his gaze calmly, and poured him another cup of tea, "Then the palace just asked directly, why did you suddenly make a decision?"

Ji Muqing withdrew his gaze, and said without emotion: "It was originally a wish of this minister."

"Tell the truth." Xiao Beichen was no longer tactful about his lies.After that, Xiao Beichen waited for a long time for no one to reply, and said seriously: "Ji Lingjing, I don't need you to do this for me. Even, even if my life is over, I hope you are safe and well."

"What's the end of my life?" Ji Muqing's eyes widened suddenly, "You know that I don't want to hear this."

Xiao Beichen didn't comfort him, but forced him to ask: "Did you know the identity of the queen mother a long time ago?"

"There are hidden speculations, but they haven't been fully confirmed." Ji Muqing started slightly, his voice trembling slightly.

But Xiao Beichen didn't seem to notice his emotions, "I'll just say, you must have lied to me again."

Ji Muqing: "I..."

"Aunt Su told me more about the past. She said that the queen mother brought me into the palace." Xiao Beichen interrupted again.

"What does this mean? The king and the queen were already in love before they entered the palace. It is indeed immoral to have a husband and wife before they got married, but what does that have to do with you?" Ji Muqing turned her head.He was not surprised that Aunt Su came to persuade him, but he still didn't believe that Xiao Beichen would just let others do evil.

Xiao Beichen looked at the tears in the corners of his eyes, and pinched his sleeves tightly under the table with his fingers, but in the end he endured and continued: "She said that the queen's mother really had good intentions, and when she first arrived in the capital, she tried every means to flatter her. In the following life, he was forced to greet the person he didn't love with a smile on his face, and in the end his identity was revealed, and he was imprisoned to death by his father in the palace."

After talking with Ji Huaiyuan earlier, Ji Muqing knew that the cause of the queen's death was probably not the peaceful death as rumored, but he didn't ask why.But even so, at this moment, Xiao Beichen couldn't lose his judgment because of today's change.

He stood up abruptly, and asked, "Why do you listen to what she says!"

"Aunt Su has been with her mother the longest. I used to listen to her descriptions of her mother." Xiao Beichen also stood up, and even smashed the tea bowl on the table, "If you can't even believe her words, I will Who else can you listen to!"

Immediately afterwards, Ji Muqing was about to speak again, but suddenly felt dizzy.

"Qingqing, I rarely care about my status. I am not the eldest son, and my mother died early. I used to worry that one day my father would no longer miss my mother, and then I would lose everything." Xiao Beichen left his seat slowly, and said Facing his worries of not being known to outsiders when he was young, "So I studied vigorously at the age of four, hoping to share the worries of my father and king as soon as possible, and be worthy of the crown prince."

Ji Muqing supported the tea table with his hands and looked at him in disbelief.

"When I was young, I still hoped for you to enter the palace. When I couldn't see anyone, I would invite you as the prince. Later, you always caused troubles, but it doesn't matter. I, the prince, will protect you."

Xiao Beichen paused, then turned his head to look at people affectionately, "I want this country, I want that throne, I want to give you the best. But now they gave me the only chance..."

"No, Ah Chen, I don't need it." Ji Muqing didn't want to worry about whether the tea was really drugged, his only thought at the moment was to hold him tightly, "We can definitely solve it, and everything is not over yet." clear."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time. For the sake of the country and the people, the king will definitely destroy me." Xiao Beichen spread his arms and let him hug him, "I don't need you to fight for me. This palace doesn't care about the yellow sand in the desert. I'm not afraid of becoming a bird in a cage."

Xiao Beichen whispered in people's ears, he knew that Ji Muqing was about to lose his footing, "But if I don't grasp the timing this time, I'm afraid I will lose you."

Ji Muqing "uh", leaned on his shoulder and trembled all over.

"No, I, Xiao Beichen, may only be afraid of two things for eternity. One is that you can't stop your tears, and the other is that I can't protect you. So next time, if there is a chance, don't hide it from me."

"..."

Realizing that the person in front of him was limp and weak, Xiao Beichen sighed, bent down and was about to pick him up, but saw blood on the corner of Ji Muqing's mouth, and his eyes were brighter than ever.

His pupils constricted in an instant.

"Don't bite!" This sound came out in a low growl, and Xiao Beichen clamped Ji Muqing's chin in panic.

Ji Muqing bit his tongue again, trying to get over the medicine, but seeing the pleading in his eyes, he suddenly wanted to take a gamble. "Please." He opened his mouth slowly and said every word.

"I asked you." Xiao Beichen hugged Ji Muqing who had fallen backwards, and helped him kneel heavily.

"Answer." Ji Muqing tugged at the hem of the man's clothes, wanting to get a promise before going to sleep, "Otherwise I'll bite you..." Before he could finish speaking, he was kissed.The lips and teeth were quickly pried open, and the last struggle was of no avail.

The pain was still there, but it couldn't keep him awake.Drowsy, he knew that Xiao Beichen had been wiping away his tears.There seemed to be people passing by outside the hall, but when they entered the door, they said something and left quickly.

Not long after, he felt himself being picked up and carefully placed on the bed.Surrounded by sandalwood, her mouth was soon filled with the scent of medicine, but in the end, it was people who left the tea to cool down.
