Hot as China, cold as snow

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, lowering his head and closing his eyes, rubbing his forehead. When he heard a voice, he said, "Didn't I tell you to get out? Who let you in." Seeing that there was no sound, he raised his head, and saw Liu Moran picked up the After reading the memorial, he softened his expression, and said in a slightly stiff tone: "You don't have to worry about these, just leave it to me."

The emperor covered his mouth and coughed in a low voice: "It's you, who just made such a big commotion in the Shunhui Empire as the son of Lanling Liu, and have been helping Leng Xuanren to plan the seizure of the palace. Don't tell me that you didn't help. No one knows that Mr. Lanling Liu is the son of King Rong, Liu Moran. If your identity is exposed, even I will not protect you. Now the prince was assassinated. Once the ministers of the prince’s lineage in the court know just a little bit, they will never let you go.” The emperor emphasized his tone: “Can’t you calm down? Or you haven’t come back for several years. I'm looking for something."

"Your Majesty, the prince was not assassinated by the people from Suominglou." Liu Moran stared at the emperor unreasonably, and the determination in his voice could not be ignored: "I know the prince's injuries are not serious, and Suominglou always takes the completion of tasks as the top priority. , there is no one who cannot be killed, there is no task that cannot be completed, the only problem is whether they will sign the order. They have always had a strong intention to kill, as long as it is a list signed by the killing house, they will definitely complete it. The prince's injury is obviously not like this It was made by the ruthless Murder Building."

"Nonsense, I still can't tell right from wrong? Why do you justify the life-threatening building as soon as you come up? You really have been brainwashed by Leng Xuanyan. You have to remember your last name." The emperor Liu Yao pointed at Liu Moran and emphasized The tone said: "Do you know that it is a big taboo for you to associate with the heir of the enemy country. Ah. I didn't mention you before, do you think you did the right thing?"

Liu Moran tilted his head to defend: "It was an accident, an accident that was not planned."

"Forget it, it's already happened. Don't meddle in the case of the crown prince's assassination." The emperor rubbed his forehead, seeming a little uncomfortable: "Zhen, I don't know what's going on with you and the prince. If you don’t get together, you just stand up. I didn’t care about it before, but now I have to. You stay in Rongwang’s mansion obediently and don’t go out.”

The door was slammed open, startling Liu Moran, but when he turned around, he saw the prince with a pale and sick face, rushed into the room and knelt and cried: "Father, please spare Liu Moran. Now everyone is King Rong The prince has an affair with the Killer Organization, but I know that Brother Mo Ran was unable to think about it for a while, and he did such a rebellious thing because he was underappreciated." Prince Liu Chengyin pleaded with snot and tears: "Everyone knows, Because of the fire ten years ago, Brother Mo Ran left the palace and returned to the Rong Palace to recuperate, and he has not shown his face for many years, so his heart is inevitably a little distorted."

"What does it look like to cry?" The emperor said angrily.

The prince wiped the liquid from the corner of his eyes, took a sneaky and provocative look at Liu Moran, and then said sincerely: "Father, my son's injury is not serious. It's my luck that I escaped the other party's attack. On the shoulder. Brother, I have always known that because of the fire ten years ago, you have always hated me in your heart, so you have extreme thinking, united with outsiders, and betrayed our dynasty, but I don’t hate you. According to the punishment of our country, betray the country and assassinate I am afraid that the crime of royal blood will be ransacked and beheaded. I also ask my father to look at my brother Mo Ran, who is ignorant of world affairs and is the son of King Rong. Why don't you spare his life. I believe that my brother will change his past. No, he bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister." Prince Liu Chengyin bit the last few words one by one, and put his hand on Liu Moran's back, pressing it down hard.

Liu Moran endured his strength, broke out in cold sweat, gritted his teeth, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." The crown prince Liu Chengyin stuck to Liu Muran's ear, lifted his blue hair and said quietly, "Call Your Highness It’s too strange, why not call me Brother Prince like you did when you were a child.”

Emperor Liu Yao interrupted Liu Chengyin's words: "Since the crown prince doesn't pursue it, then this matter will be over. Prince Rong's son Liu Moran went back to Prince Rong's mansion and grounded himself for self-reflection."

"Father, I'm afraid it's not good to turn over such a big matter. How can I say that I almost lost my life, why don't you hand over Liu Moran to Huang'er, and follow the procedures. If you are punished or beaten, you must deal with it fairly." Liu Chengyin hurriedly answered after hearing this.

"His Royal Highness seems to have misunderstood. When did the emperor say that I, Liu Moran, was looking for the assassin? I, Liu Moran, sit upright and will not admit to things I haven't done." Liu Moran stepped forward and pulled away. the distance between the two.

His Royal Highness Liu Chengyin pointed to the memorial on the ground, showing his wounds: "Isn't this evidence? Do you want Jiang Shengwu to confront you to see if you were caught at the scene of the incident? En? Oh, I seem to remember that someone seemed to see you meeting the killer in the Suoming Building in the commercial street." He nodded his head as if thinking, and said to the emperor Liu Yao: "Father, I think they are all from the same family. For the sake of pulse, I'm very tolerant and don't care about it, and leave him alive. I don't bother my father to ask about the punishment or something, just leave it to my son-in-law."

The emperor covered his mouth and coughed laboriously, as if he would stop breathing at any moment, he stopped after a while, Liu Yao rubbed his forehead with his hands, frowned and said: "Okay, just do as the prince said! Biography Jiang Shengwu Come out and confront."

The prince's expression changed upon hearing this.

After a while, witnesses were brought.

"Jiang Shengwu, you truthfully reported the situation of meeting Prince Rong's son in the Royal Hunting Garden."

Jiang Shengwu knelt on the ground, five big and three thick, with a straight waist and a fist, and his voice was like a bell: "The Emperor Mingjian, I received the news that the prince was assassinated, let me go to a place, I will go quickly, near there Then I met Liu Moran, Prince Rong's son."

"Bold, not using honorific words in front of the emperor is really a crime of disrespect. If you pull it down, hit twenty big boards first." The prince stepped forward and pointed at him.

The emperor Liu Yao seemed uncomfortable, half-closed his eyes, leaned on the dragon chair and didn't look at him, just waved his hand to signal, it didn't matter: "Who told you to go? How did he know that the assassin would go to that place? "

Jiang Shengwu was indeed a rough man, without any taboo, he pointed at the people beside the prince and said: "That's him, he is a servant next to the prince, I recognize him. It was he who said to go to the resting pavilion, and I was there Someone caught nearby."

The emperor Liu Yao raised his finger to the valet next to the prince: "Give me a chance to explain how you know that the assassin will appear there? When the prince was assassinated, as his valet, if you didn't serve the prince well, how could you appear there?" Cheng Tianwei, inform Jiang Shengwu in advance?"

The servant heard a plop and fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowed several times, and only said: "The emperor is holy." His head was covered with cold sweat, his whole body was trembling, and his eyes still looked at the prince from time to time.

The prince kicked him: "Useless stuff! The emperor told you to say it, think about it carefully, and answer carefully, do you hear clearly?"

The servant kowtowed again, and replied: "Yes, the emperor is wise, the emperor is wise." He couldn't say anything.

The emperor opened his eyes and patted the table: "You can't tell. Then I will tell you, because what you said is all false, and you are framing Liu Moran. Someone from Prince Rong's mansion sent me a note, which was invited by the prince. An invitation letter from Liu Moran to meet each other. The above location is exactly what Jiang Shengwu said, and it is obvious that someone is framing Prince Rong's son. What crime should be charged for framing the royal relatives? Ah, Prince!"

"When you return to the emperor, you should behead." After answering the emperor's words, he pointed to the servant on the ground again: "Bold slave, why don't you tell me what is going on?"

The emperor looked at the prince with deep meaning: "The injury on your body has been examined by the imperial doctor and it is not a fatal injury. It is said that the killers in the killing building are all elites. How could they make such a layman's mistake? Obviously framed, okay , read a book when you have time, what do you do if you have nothing to do?"

Liu Chengyin still did not give up and said: "Father really cares about everything, even such a small detail. But no matter what, the meeting between Liu Moran and the killer in the killing building was seen by someone."

"Really? Where did you see it? How far away was it? Did you see it clearly? How did you know that the other party was from the Suominglou? What did the two of you say? Have you investigated clearly?"

"Royal father,"

"Enough!" The emperor seemed to be very angry: "He came to drag him down. As a close servant of the prince, he bewitched the prince and dealt with according to the law. All the ministers who wrote to impeach Liu Moran without verification were demoted to a lower level."

With such a treatment, the prince's power was severely hit, and he was at a disadvantage. He felt hot in his heart and shouted with enthusiasm: "Father, in your heart, is my life not as important as his? No matter how good my son is, you Can't you see it? It's been like this since I was a child. You favor him, praise him and belittle me. You give him all good things. He is clearly the son of King Rong, but you allow him to freely enter and leave the palace. Why? But have you ever thought about me? I am the orthodox prince, your only official son. How is he good? If you favor him like this, my ability is not inferior to him, and he is not. A son of a bitch."

"Shut up." The emperor Liu Yaoteng sat up from the dragon chair, pointed at him and cursed: "What do you know? You don't distinguish between high and low, what right do you have to say about him? No one is allowed , have no such qualifications."

"Father, you let your mother stay alone in a vacant house for many years and died of depression. Do you feel sorry for her? Now that the position of the harem lord is vacant, do you think I don't know why? How do you say that you are haunted by a vixen? , isn't it because of his mother?" Liu Chengyin pointed at Liu Moran.

Liu Moran's face was flushed with anger, he punched the prince in the face, and shouted: "Shut up!"

"It's a crime, it's a crime. You dare to contradict me, it's against you." The emperor pointed at the crown prince Liu Chengyin, trembling all over, his lips were purple and his face was blue, he couldn't say a word anymore, straight Lie down straight back, rolled his eyes, and passed out.

The prince was stunned for a moment when he saw it, and he took two quick steps, but stopped seven steps away from the emperor.Liu Muran didn't care about other things, walked over a few steps, pinched the emperor Liu Yao's people, and found a blue and white porcelain bottle on his body, there were black round pills everywhere in it, and threw it at Liu Yao without thinking. mouth.

When the bottle is opened, the fragrance overflows. This is the pill for health and body care that Liu Moran has spent all his energy making with strange medicines.

After finishing this series of actions, Liu Moran shouted: "Hurry up and tell the imperial physician."
