There is a fake demigod in the East Palace

The First Affiliated Hospital of the Royal College of Medicine has been particularly heavily guarded recently, and security checks are required when entering and leaving the hospital, causing panic throughout the hospital.

The VIP ward is located on the top floor of the inpatient department, and the entire area has been sealed off. There are rumors that the prince and Jingnanhou are living in it now.

The biggest domestic news in the past half month is that the prince went to inspect the factory, was assassinated on the way back to the palace and then lost contact.During the dozens of hours when Rong Zheng disappeared, his safety affected the hearts of everyone in the country.

Fortunately, on the evening of the second day after the prince was attacked, news came that the prince had successfully escaped from danger.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Jingnan was also there.

According to the forest ranger who was the first to discover the Prince and Jingnan Hou, if he hadn't accidentally discovered the two injured people while patrolling the mountain, the two people's trip might have been a disaster.

After the incident, the forest ranger was interviewed and said that the prince was in danger at that time, and he still never left the seriously injured and unconscious Hou Jingnan, and his true love was stronger than that of Jin Jian.

After the prince was successfully rescued, several departments immediately went to the scene of the incident to investigate.According to the information left at the scene and the testimonies provided by the captured assassins, this treason case that shocked the whole country has been roughly clarified, and the mastermind behind it is none other than Guoshi Zhong Yu.

As more details were continuously revealed, the whole country felt extremely indignant about what the National Teacher had done.But Zhong Yu didn't get the punishment he deserved, because his whereabouts have been unknown since the incident, and he still doesn't know where to go.

Yan Tian took the elevator all the way to the top floor of the inpatient department. As soon as the elevator door opened, he ran into the police.

The police came here today, probably to investigate Zhong Yu's matter again.Since Rong Zheng escaped from danger, people from various departments came to investigate every now and then.

After Yan Tian briefly greeted several police officers with familiar faces, he passed through the armed special forces and went through another round of body searches before he was able to enter Rong Zheng's ward.

Everyone who enters the prince's ward has to go through an inspection first, even Yan Tian is no exception.

There was no one in the living room of the ward, Yan Tian came to the door of the bedroom and took a careful look inside.

Sure enough, Rong Zheng was in the bedroom. He was sitting on the hospital bed, looking out of the window in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

"Your Highness." Yan Tian pushed open the door, came to Rong Zheng's bedside and said, "Academician Li approved you to be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon."

The wounds on Rong Zheng's body looked horrific, but in fact most of them were skin traumas. After two weeks of expert consultation, he has basically recovered.

"Then make arrangements and prepare to return to the palace." Rong Zheng withdrew his gaze, and the emotion in his eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"There is one more thing you need to instruct, that person..." Yan Tian paused, not knowing how to address Ye Zhaoling.Everyone said that Jingnanhou and the crown prince were assassinated together, only Yan Tian knew the truth.

When he heard Rong Zheng tell this fantasy story for the first time, he only felt that his world view was challenged, and he once suspected that Rong Zheng broke his mind in the deep mountains and old forests.

With the buffer of the past few days, he gradually accepted the fact that Jingnan Hou is Zhong Yu.

Yan Tian collected himself and continued, "How should Ye Zhaoling be dealt with?"

Ye Zhaoling was lying in the next ward at this time, and there were heavy guards outside the ward.

"Escorted back to the palace together." Rong Zheng said calmly: "Interrogate strictly, and you will be responsible for this matter."

"But he is still unconscious." Yan Tian asked a key question. In this incident, Ye Zhaoling's injuries were much more serious than Rong Zheng's.Although the doctors tried their best to save his life, he was still unconscious, and even Academician Li couldn't explain the reason.

"Then wait for him to wake up and try again." Rong Zheng said expressionlessly. It can be seen from his words that he doesn't care about Ye Zhaoling's physical condition now, and only wants a result.

After Yan Tian left, Rong Zheng recalled the scene that day again, and he found it difficult to accurately recall the inner activities at that time.

Rong Zheng directly skipped the stages of disbelief and escapism, and accepted all of them logically.

But sometimes, the heart is like still water and all thoughts are ashamed, only in the slightest.

**

Pearl stood outside the vermilion gate of Yaoqing Palace, like a delicate and gorgeous figurine of a lady.

Outside the gate, there was a lot of people coming and going, and no one knew what the queen's personal lady was doing here.They came forward to say hello one by one, and left in a hurry.

Soon, Rong Zheng's figure appeared on the long street, and after a while, he came to Pearl,

It seems that the destination of the prince's trip is Yaoqing Palace.

Pearl Fushen bowed to Rong Zheng, and led the prince back to the palace.The prince had just returned to the palace from the hospital today, Pearl seemed to know that Rong Zheng would definitely come to Yaoqing Palace when he came back, and stood here to greet him early.

The Yaoqing Palace was as quiet as before, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, so the palace people made some appropriate arrangements in the palace.

The queen sat on the high throne, her gaze followed the prince all the way into the hall.As soon as Rong Zheng raised his hand to his chest, the Empress said slowly, "Forget it."

I don't know if it's because the hall is too empty, but the Queen's voice sounds a little old today, and she lacks the spirit of the past.

She got up and walked down the steps, and came to Rong Zheng's side: "It's good to be back safely, I've been waiting here for a long time."

Rong Zheng and the empress stood in the palace, and at a glance, they couldn't tell who was the master of the palace.

Or who should not belong here.

"You knew I would come today." Rong Zheng asked the queen.

"That's natural." The queen smiled lovingly: "I also know that you came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. You want to know whether I appointed the killer that day, and you also want to know that I let Zhong Yu sneak in as Ye Zhaoling. Donggong, what are your intentions?"

Rong Zheng was not surprised that the queen would take the initiative to reveal this matter.Although their grandparents and grandchildren have fought openly and secretly for most of their lives, they occasionally still have some tacit understanding rooted in their blood.

What's more, with this situation, it's time to open up the skylight and speak out.

"Oh?" Rong Zheng glanced at the Queen and did not deny it: "So what do you say?"

"Answer your first question first." The queen dragged her long skirt and walked two steps forward, before she came to a bronze crane: "It's true that I appointed the killer, but the person I want to kill is Zhong." Yu. I didn't expect him to make a fake decree to bring disaster to the east and drag you into the water."

There was an obvious loophole in the Queen's rhetoric, and Rong Zheng immediately asked, "If that's the case, why did he try his best to help me out of danger?"

"This is where he is cunning. Only if you are safe and sound, can this play of killing people through the air be considered a success." The empress looked sideways at Rong Zheng, with a little teasing in her eyes: "His method is really effective, you Why don't you come to question me today?"

Rong Zheng also asked Zhong Yu this question, and Zhong Yu gave a completely different answer. The two of them are just out of Rashomon, and neither of them should be trusted.

But what is certain is that Zhong Yu and the Queen have indeed turned against each other.

Rong Zheng asked: "Why did you send someone to kill Zhong Yu?"

The queen said, "I'll tell you about this later."

"Then the second question." Rong Zheng continued to ask: "You have gone to great lengths to let Zhong Yu approach me in this way, what do you want to get from me?"

"You shouldn't ask me what I want, but what he wants." The queen reached out and touched the slender neck of the copper crane, and sighed: "If I tell you, I only knew about it not long ago, would you believe it?" ? Don't say you don't believe it, even I don't believe that he has lied to me for so long."

"You must have noticed that Zhong Yu is unusual. Before explaining this matter clearly, I must first tell you Zhong Yu's origin." The queen did not wait for Rong Zheng to ask, and continued on her own: "I am old. Already high, knowing that you will die soon, you will become the future monarch, and it is time to tell you the secret of Dasheng."

In the following time, the empress cut the head and tail, omitted the matter of the blood contract, and narrated the relationship between the national teacher and the royal family with Rong Zheng.

She briefly explained the reason why Zhong Yu entered the East Palace as Ye Zhaoling. According to the empress, Zhong Yu did this to find something called "spiritual soul". .

This story is very mysterious and bizarre, it sounds like fantasy to anyone, even though Rong Zheng has seen many strange things about Ye Zhaoling, it still took some time to digest this content.

"So, Zhong Yu is not an ordinary person."

When the word "mortal" was used, Rong Zheng felt a little weird.In his cognition, this kind of word can only appear in ghosts and ghosts.

The queen smiled lightly, and replied: "He burned for seven thousand days and nights in the Brahma fire, how could he be a mortal."

Hearing this, it was already difficult for Rong Zheng to calmly distinguish the authenticity of the information.There seemed to be a big hole in his chest, and blood was oozing out.It was hard for him to imagine what it would be like to be burned for seven thousand days.For Zhong Yu, the understatement of the few words in the Queen's mouth meant life and death for countless times, and endless torture.

"He was just a dog of the dynasty." The queen didn't notice Rong Zheng's strangeness, and continued: "Who would have thought that this son of a wolf was ambitious, but he wanted to replace him. He launched a palace coup as early as 200 years ago. After the coup, the ancestors I once wanted to seal him in the underground palace and never see the light of day, but unfortunately it was a step too late before he was allowed to continue harming the world."

Rong Zheng regained his composure and interrupted the Empress rudely: "But you were the one who summoned him 30 years ago, otherwise he would not have been able to reappear."

"Yes, I made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, and I didn't know what kind of evil spirit I summoned later." Speaking of this, the empress's eyes turned slightly red: "Zhong Yu is gifted with supernatural powers, and he is also born with a natural temperament. Cruel and violent, even though I am on the throne, I can only live under his control, and I have done many things that I cannot forgive."

"He put me on the throne with one hand, just to make me his puppet." The queen laughed at herself and said, "Everyone in the world knows that Zhong Yu is my minion who is loyal to me, but I don't A marionette in his hand."

The queen's performance was very emotional, but Rong Zheng was unmoved.He has seen what the queen has done in the past 30 years, and it is impossible to separate the relationship with these few words.

"I know you are skeptical of my words. After all, over the years, there have been many rifts between our grandparents and grandchildren. But blame me for my incompetence. Many things are not my original intention, but I am powerless to stop them." The queen looked at Rong Zheng, said what she really wanted to say today: "So this time I decided to take a risk, one is to completely get rid of this scourge, and the other is to avenge my son and daughter-in-law."

Rong Zheng caught the key point in this sentence: "Daughter-in-law?"

The queen stopped talking, and ended the conversation hastily: "I'm tired, your body has just recovered, go back and rest too."

After Rong Zheng left, Pearl walked into the hall silently, the empress stretched out her hand, and said, "Walk with me in the garden."

Today's autumn is breezy and the golden wind is rustling, which is a good time to go out for a walk.Pearl helped the queen to walk under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and covered the falling flowers on her head carefully for the queen.

Thinking of the scene in the hall not long ago, Pearl was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, Zhong Yu's death is not a pity. If you want to deal with him, you can do it directly. Why do you have to make such a big circle?"

The queen sighed, and said quietly: "This time we failed to end the two of them in the dense forest, we have already lost the opportunity."

"You have also seen the results of the previous few times. The crown prince's general situation has been achieved. As long as he is willing to defend Zhong Yu, I can't touch him." The queen wanted to cultivate pearls, and she patted the back of Pearl's hand lightly , Patiently explained to her: "It's the same for Rong Zheng. Zhong Yu standing on his side is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger. So if you want to deal with any of them, you must first separate the relationship between the two of them." relationship between."

Pearl: "Without Zhong Yu, the crown prince would be destroying the city wall."

"Exactly." The queen said: "I have given Zhong Yu a chance, but he has let me down too much."

Pearl inevitably felt a little worried: "But judging from the prince's reaction just now, he doesn't seem to believe your words."

The queen was not surprised, she never planned to persuade Rong Zheng with a few words: "Rong Zheng has been very defensive since he was a child. No matter what happens, he has to check it himself before making a conclusion." She turned her head and looked at Bo Guang. The sparkling lake surface: "He may not believe me, or Zhong Yu, but it's not that he doesn't believe what he saw with his own eyes."

Zhong Yu has assisted the Empress for more than 30 years. Many things that happened during these years are difficult to find out with the power of outsiders.But this is not the case for the Queen. She has laid down a complete chain of evidence on the investigation path. No matter how the parties investigate, they will only find out what the Queen wants them to know.

Pearl understood the queen's intentions: "Zhong Yu can't get away with it this time."

"Even if I don't do anything and let the situation develop, it is impossible for Zhong Yu to retreat. Although many things in the past were my wishes, they were indeed done by Zhong Yu. This point is irrefutable. As the prince, Rong Zheng, Even if you want to side with him, you can't." With the support of Pearl, the queen slowly walked up to the water pavilion in the middle of the lake, and said as she walked, "I did this not only to prove his crime, but also to protect his life. Myself."

"Zhao Deben is already a useless chess piece." Although Zhou Deben repeatedly promised to keep the secret of the late emperor's death forever, only the dead are the safest. Pearl asked the Queen: "Do you need to take care of him?"

"There is no need for us to do it." The Empress felt very relieved that Pearl could think of this level: "Rong Zheng has already taken his life in a fit of anger."

News came from the intelligence office that Zhou Deben had been secretly executed by the East Palace. Once Zhou Deben died, Zhong Yu was completely charged with murdering the late emperor.

The author says:

Sisters, I have temporary work arrangements. I will take a day off tomorrow. See you on Thursday.

Thanks for understanding, Yami.

Let's recall the previous episodes with everyone.

1. The reason why the empress knows so many things about Zhong Yu is because of the cheat of dragon fish.

2. It is true that the prince's parents were not killed by the national teacher.

3. We are all from the perspective of God, but the prince is not.
