Dressed as a canary pampered by the Ninth Prince

From going to the Western Regions to look for Fu Yuan, and then returning to Beiyuan very quickly, Yan Rongzhen came and went in a hurry, and didn't even care to think about the truth of Qian Yuan's heartless act when he parted. It has been a few days since the news of leaning over to die, maybe the court is already in chaos.

And it was time for him, the Ninth Prince who was supposed to be married, to show up and tell the truth.

After killing Yan Dongqing, Yan Huaijin quickly cleaned up the fourth prince's people, and then took the corpse back to the imperial city in the dark.Along the way, he was thinking about what his father would look like if he knew the news of the death of the fourth brother.

Maybe it was even more exciting than when the elder brother died, and the sixth prince couldn't help but show a wickedly excited expression on his face.

Royal father, now I am the only one by your side, you will never lose sight of me again.

Above the court hall, Yan Zhao felt uneasy for some reason. He lowered his eyes and looked down the stage. The place where the princes should have been standing was empty. The eighth child got married unexpectedly, and the fourth child did not know if he ran back to Yin City, but where did Lao Liu go? He is cowardly by nature, and never fights for big things since he was a child. Could it be that he sensed the struggle between brothers and went back to the fiefdom?

Listening to the conversations of the ministers, I only felt the buzzing, Yan Zhao couldn't bear it, he waved his hands and said: "Okay, you decide these trivial matters yourself, don't ask me everything."

As soon as the words fell, the place suddenly became quiet. Eunuch Gao, who was serving by Emperor Yan's side, was very good at observing words and expressions, and saw that the saint was showing impatience, and said, "Let's play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

The ministers below chattered for a while, so they had to put down the rhetoric they had prepared in their hearts for the time being.

The ears finally became clear, Yan Zhao stood up, and asked casually, "Is there any clue to what I ordered?"

When Eunuch Gao heard this, he bowed his head abruptly. Since the ninth prince disappeared, the Holy Majesty has not stopped looking for it, but he has found nothing until now. He bite the bullet and said with hesitation: "Ninth prince, return, still haven't found it. .”

"A bunch of trash!" Yan Zhao flicked his sleeves in a daze, Long Yan was furious.

Speaking of which, Yan Zhao's mood has never been better during this period of time. The whole palace is panicked, and the dispute between the princes is gradually on the table. Whether it is the ministers or the queen in the palace, they are all in a hurry to make arrangements. station.

Most of these people were on the side of the fourth prince. After all, the weakness of the sixth prince Yan Huaijin was obvious to all, so they would not believe that Yan Zhao would pass on the throne to him.

And the voice of the eighth prince was comparable to that of the fourth prince, but Ke Ke has disappeared for a while, which is really strange.

In a short period of time, Eunuch Gao had already thought about the current situation, and he knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty calm down, this servant will send more people..."

"No need, he is hiding from me on purpose." On the contrary, Yan Zhao asked himself that he knew his sons very well. He has always seen what the old nine can do, and this time the old eight will marry to the Western Regions, it can only be his handwriting.

He didn't want to marry Yan Zhao and he wouldn't force him, but why did he frame his brother like this?

Just when Yan Zhao couldn't figure it out, suddenly a young eunuch rushed over shouting.

"Report! Your Majesty! Your Majesty's servant has something important to tell you!"

"What kind of words are frizzy!" Eunuch Gao said to him.

Yan Zhao waved his hand, "No problem, what's the matter?"

Only then did the little eunuch raise his head, "Sixth prince, the sixth prince is waiting for His Majesty in the side hall, and said that His Majesty must go as soon as possible!"

Xu was infected by the young eunuch's excitement, and Yan Zhao couldn't help feeling a little more anxious, but he couldn't hear the point from the little eunuch's words, and said angrily, "What the hell is going on!"

"Fourth prince, the fourth prince is dead!"

Hearing this, Eunuch Gao was terrified, and even Yan Zhao's eyes widened suddenly. He tried his best to maintain his composure as a king, but he staggered when he lifted his foot.

Quickly supporting the Lord of Beiyuan, who seemed to have aged a lot suddenly, Eunuch Gao said worriedly: "Your Majesty..."

"Quick, hurry up, I'm going to the side hall."

In the side hall, Yan Huaijin dismissed his servants, leaving only himself and Yan Dongqing's corpse together. He knew that too many people should not know that the Fourth Prince was dead. At least, he had to wait until Yan Zhao knew about it. , to tell the world.

Soak the towel in the basin, wring it dry and put it on the fourth prince's already bruised face, gently wipe off the dried blood on it, Yan Huaijin wiped it seriously, it seems that he is not the first time to serve others like this Once he did it, he carefully looked at the face of the fourth prince, and began to mutter to himself: "Speaking of which, if the fourth brother hadn't suddenly ran to such a desolate place near the city to die, I wouldn't have done so, brother." Let's do it with you."

"But who is the person who invited you? Forget it, anyway, I will deal with them one by one." A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and the sixth prince threw the towel back into the basin. I formed an alliance, but you ran out behind my back, it really shouldn't be."

"It's your choice to end up like this." After finishing speaking, Yan Huaijin smiled to himself, the laughter that inadvertently leaked from his throat seemed strange in the quiet and deserted side hall.

"Your Majesty is here!" Yan Huaijin turned around as the little father-in-law guarding outside the palace shouted, and immediately changed into another face. He frowned tightly, as if his eyes were still in shock, with a little With tears streaming down his face, he didn't rush forward until he saw the tall figure in the yellow robe.

"Father!"

Yan Zhao subconsciously took the sixth son into his arms, but Yan Huaijin's legs became weak, and he knelt down in front of him at once. He secretly sighed at the timidity of the sixth son, and said in a deep voice, "Where is your fourth brother?"

"In the..."

Impatient, Yan Zhao let go of Yan Huaijin's hand, took only a few steps forward, and saw the familiar figure on the ground.

Emperor Yan couldn't help but took two steps back, until he really saw his son's body, he completely believed that the fourth prince who was still asking for credit in front of him a few days ago was really gone.

Is the brotherhood of nearly 20 years ago finally going to happen again?Yan Zhao closed his eyes, squatted down with his back to the sixth son, stroked the face of the fourth son silently, thinking in his heart, who would be the one to do it?

Is it the eighth child who is far away in the Western Regions, or the frightened and pitiful sixth child behind him, Yan Huaijin?

He ordered his servants to scrub the fourth son well, but the cause of death was unknown, and he would not bury Yan Dongqing so soon. Looking at the sixth son who seemed to be dejected, Yan Zhao asked, "Do you know how your fourth brother is doing?" Killed?"

Seeing Yan Zhao's question, Yan Huaijin trembled all over, shook her head violently and said, "I don't know, I don't know."

I don't know?Emperor Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't believe the word "I don't know" at all. As expected, Yan Huaijin showed hesitation, and said again: "The night before yesterday, my son was assassinated outside the city. My son, my son is timid. I hid outside for a day before I dared to come out, but who knows, I saw the corpse of the Fourth Emperor Brother, but I really don't know who did it!"

As if recalling that terrifying memory, Yan Huaijin's face turned pale, "I believe that it is the same person who wants to kill my son and the emperor."

But Emperor Yan asked, "The night before yesterday, why did you happen to be outside the city with the fourth child?"

Hearing this, Yan Huaijin turned her eyes and replied: "Because Brother Sihuang didn't know what news he received, saying that someone asked him to meet outside the city, maybe he was worried and called Erchen away again, but Erchen It was attacked on the way there, and the place where Brother Sihuang was killed is not the same place."

The sixth prince's answer was impeccable, and he almost took himself out of it, but Yan Zhao couldn't let go of his suspicions. He was also the one who won among the many princes back then, and he couldn't understand how many twists and turns there were.

However, at this moment, there is no evidence to prove that the fourth child was the victim of the sixth child.So, is it really like what the sixth child said, someone is acting in secret?

Seeing that Emperor Yan fell silent, the sixth prince bowed his head and said, "Father, the fourth brother was killed in front of my son. I feel ashamed. Let me decide the funeral."

"Yes." Yan Zhao nodded, "But according to the rules of our ancestors, the corpse of the fourth child has to be left in the palace first, and we can make arrangements after Tai Changqing makes proper arrangements."

"Yes, my son will definitely take care of it, Father, don't worry."

Sudden loss of another son, Yan Zhao couldn't help feeling sad, after the sixth son resigned, he stood by the fourth son's corpse alone, just staring at it, as if in a trance.

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Gao carefully waited on him, and comforted him, "My condolences, Your Majesty."

"Sorrow?" Yan Zhao's lips raised a mocking smile, "I understand how my father felt back then." He watched his children fight each other until there was only one left, and then passed on the throne to him. he.

But in this world, where is there no struggle?If he wanted to get something, he would naturally have to fight for it on his own. Although Yan Zhao felt pain in his heart, he understood the situation at this time, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. controlling.

Looking at the fourth son who seemed to be asleep, Yan Zhao stretched out his hand out of nowhere, and slowly removed the brocade cloth covering it.

"Hey, Your Majesty..." Eunuch Gao hesitated to speak.

Yan Zhao looked indifferent, "This is also the last time I will see my child, so let me do it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Until Yan Dong revealed his bloody chest, the dirty blood on it was dark and black, mixed with the clothes, and there was a slight rancid smell, but Yan Zhao seemed not to feel it, and said softly: "It's really ruthless, only one sword." There was only one wound on the fourth son's body, and it could be seen that the assassin was planning to kill him from the beginning.

It was the same as when the eldest son passed away.

At this moment, the little eunuch who had just notified just walked up to Eunuch Gao's side with small steps, and whispered a few words to him.

Eunuch Gao opened his eyes slightly, and then looked at Yan Zhao.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan frowned, secretly thought what was the matter, and said, "Speaking bluntly."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is an urgent letter from His Highness Ninth just now."
