, "But those people last night were amazing! It looked like they were all fatal. My grandfather's men were injured a lot, but fortunately there were noble people to help." He looked in Wen Zhiru's direction, "It's your father's men. ?”

"My father?" Although with Wen Yanfeng's personality, it is indeed something he would do to save someone for safety, but sending some martial arts masters to save the army of old General Xia Hou sounds like... Something is wrong.

After all, none of his father's secret guards and Mu Yunying's people on the [-]th floor seemed to have any expertise in this area.

"Is it Shopkeeper Feng?" Jin Yihui thought for a while and replied.

In fact, King Rui's raid on Old General Xiahou's barracks was not to kill the enemy, but more likely to take advantage of the chaos and insert his own troops into it.

When it comes to the Qianqiu Festival, if there is a commotion in the palace, the old general Xiahou wants to rescue him, but the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. In addition, the spies of King Rui are obstructing it and delaying the progress, which is a double guarantee.

"Shopkeeper Feng? Is that... Shopkeeper Feng?" Xia Houchen didn't know that Wen Zhiru and the others were attacked and rescued in Shanxi Mansion, so naturally he didn't know the real identity of Shopkeeper Feng. He opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide. The face is unbelievable.

"That's right, don't look at shopkeeper Feng as just a restaurant owner, he used to be my father's younger brother, and he also raised a group of martial arts masters." Wen Zhiru made such an excuse to perfunctory.

"A restaurant owner has so many properties to take care of?" Xia Houchen scratched his head because he didn't understand, but his mind wasn't considered delicate, so he was taken over with a few words.

"But since those people's schemes didn't succeed, will King Rui--"

"Don't worry, it's okay!" Xia Houchen continued to explain, "We locked up all the people we could capture alive, and left their leader to interrogate overnight, and then we pretended to go back to spread the news. King Rui should still think he is His scheme is flawless!"

Jin Yihui felt relieved when he heard this sentence, he nodded, "Then that means..."

"Yes." Xia Houchen answered before he finished speaking, "Let me come to tell you that everything is ready now, and we just need to wait for King Rui to do it."

***************************

At this time, the Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumn Festival is less than a month away.

In fact, Wen Zhiru and the others didn't think about preemptively taking advantage of King Rui's attack.

But on the one hand, the evidence is not enough, and on the other hand, if he can't wipe out all his henchmen, especially the queen mother who is hiding behind the scenes, it is tantamount to giving the enemy a chance to make a comeback.

And on the little emperor's side, even though he had taken all precautions, it seemed that he was still a bit hesitant to kill his own brother.

Perhaps he was also betting that at the last moment, whether King Rui and the Queen Mother would have a little bit of conscience and give up their plan.

Jin Yihun and Wen Zhiru are also a little bored these days.

It is inconvenient for them to go out, and the house is also equipped with a servant who does laundry, cooking and cleaning for them.

Every day, servants would go to the street market to buy fresh fruits and vegetables to bring back.

All in all, it was more leisurely than they had been in the mines.

Reciting poems, writing poems, and writing and writing are not Wen Zhiru's hobbies. The two of them spent a few days reading and painting in this old house, and then they got bored.

Really bored, Wen Zhiru began to want to plant a patch of flowers and plants in the open space in the backyard of the house.

Although this is not a way of pastime, but it is not long before the Qianqiu Festival, and regardless of success or failure, it is impossible for them to continue living in this house.

Can't the freshly planted flowers and plants be packed and taken away as luggage?

The two of them were discussing countermeasures for these trivial matters in the yard, when they suddenly heard noises coming from the direction of the door, and a child crying weakly intermittently.

"What's the matter?" Wen Zhiru had already dragged Jin Yihun to the door when he said that.

…………

"Hurry up and go! I've given you all the food I can give you. We'll be scolded if our young master sees us later."

"Please, big brother, just take me in for one night, even if it's just squatting behind the gate to sleep."

At the door, it seemed that a servant of the family was chasing a child away.

The child was crying immaturely, begging the boy in the yard to take him in for a night.

Jin Yihun was a little puzzled at first, but he didn't understand until Zhiru reminded him.

With less than [-] days left until the Empress Dowager's birthday, the security in the capital is stricter than usual.

In the past, there was a curfew, but now after the shops and restaurants close at night, basically no one is allowed to haunt the streets except the watchmen.

If you catch a homeless tramp, it would be polite to drive you out of the capital, but the fear is that you will be thrown into prison directly.

And at this time, even if you stay in an inn, not only is the price more expensive, but there are almost no vacancies.

What's more, this is a child who is only a few years old.

But the two servants at the door are also dedicated to their work, and they have already been told that the people living in this house are all important people, and they must not reveal their identities and whereabouts. The neighbors said a few words, how dare they let a stranger in for a night.

Thinking of this, Jin Yihun also planned to pull Wen Zhiru into the house and stop caring about these trivial matters.

Although this is a bit unreasonable, but now is also a critical moment. What if it is really a method sent by someone with a heart to deceive people and inquire about the truth?

But Wen Zhiru couldn't help being curious, especially...why did that child's voice always sound familiar?

He saw Jin Yihui's concerns, waved his hand at him, picked up the sunshade hat that he had prepared by the wall to tidy up the backyard land, put it on, and walked behind the boy who was still entangled with the child pretending to be inadvertent.

"It's him?" Although it's been nearly a year and the child's eyebrows have opened a lot, Wen Zhiru can still recognize his identity from the face that resembles a certain person.

He looked back in surprise at Jin Yihun who was still standing in the distance.

Seeing Wen Zhiru's expression, the latter knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

"Look..." Wen Zhiru pointed to the child who was still standing outside the door.

"It's Mingze?" Jin Yihui also recognized the child's identity.

"Mingze..." Wen Zhiru repeated the name in his mouth.

In the past, when Mrs. Yu took the boy with him in Wen Mansion, he couldn't name him properly, so he always called Xiaobao Xiaobao.

Later, when he left the capital city, the Yu clan was also found by the people of the Xianwang Mansion and dealt with secretly, but this child was kept because he was the blood of the Xianwang Mansion.

This name was also given to him by Prince Xian at that time in pity.

But if this is the case, shouldn't this child be properly raised in the Prince Xian's mansion now, so why would he be wandering on the street?

Jin Yihui naturally also received Wen Zhiru's question, but he had been away from Prince Xian's mansion for a while, and he was indeed a little confused about the current situation.

"Although Mrs. Yu is also a poor person, what she did at that time is impossible to live in the royal family. My father sympathizes with this child and is willing to keep him alive in the mansion. It is the greatest tolerance. But at the time There is no way to give this child any title. He is not a servant of the mansion, but he is not considered a serious young master of the mansion. He is just assigned to a remote courtyard with one or two servants to take care of him.

There are many powerful servants in the backyard of the rich family, and he is not doing well, but he will not be on the streets and begging for a living? "

Wen Zhiru: "Why don't you let him in! I don't think King Rui will rely on such a four-year-old child to snoop information."

"En." Jin Yihui also nodded.

This child's status is embarrassing, Jin Yixuan is unwilling to even meet him, so how can he use him for business.

So Wen Zhiru took off the bamboo hat, and took a few steps forward, "Let him in!"

"Young Master?" The young man was a little unbelievable when he heard these words at first. The two young masters in this house are both very good-natured people, but these days they are really strict on defense against outsiders. Why——

"Just a child."

"Yes, young master." The two servants finally opened the door wider and let the child in.

"Ah, Eldest Young Master? Prince... Brother?" The boy recognized Jin Yihui and Wen Zhiru as soon as he entered the door, with a look of surprise on his face.

After all, he can still remember that the two young masters treated him well in the past.

"Let's go, let's talk in the house." Jin Yihui didn't want to correct the child's title of himself, but led him to the back room with Wen Zhiru.

…………

After arriving at the room, Wen Zhiru first ordered his servants to prepare some clean clothes and hot water, and then asked the kitchen to stop by to prepare some food.

The child looked like he had been wandering on the street for a few days, his clothes were dirty, his hair was messy and knotted, he looked like a little beggar.

Taking advantage of the time when the servants were preparing, Jin Yihui took some fresh pastries from the table and handed them to the boy first, and asked by the way: "Are you kicked out by the people from the Xianwang Mansion?"

The virtuous prince Jin Qingyue took his old mother to the Northwest fiefdom since he said that the little emperor was going to retire and return to his hometown and left the title to his second son Jin Yixuan, saying that he wanted to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers for him. The old mother takes care of her life.

In fact, to put it bluntly, he also knew that there was going to be a big change in the capital, so he sent his old mother out of the capital early to avoid it.

In the past, the people in the palace did not want to treat the child too harshly because of Prince Xian's face, but since the prince is gone, it is not impossible for the child to be kicked out of the mansion.

"I... Su... Su... ran away by myself." The child answered vaguely while eating the freshly made sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"Why are you running away?" Wen Zhiru saw that he was eating in a hurry, afraid that he would choke and gave him another cup of tea, "No matter how bad the people there are to you, they will always give you a full meal. I like it, at least I will wait for two years until you can really earn your own living before running away.”

The child seemed to be very hungry. He wolfed down two or three pieces of cakes and drank two cups of tea. Then he raised his head to face Wen Zhiru again, "They want to kill me, I have to run away."

"........."

Wen Zhiru turned his head to look at Jin Yihun, but was speechless for a moment.

Jin Yihui: "How could it be? At the beginning...the father didn't allow you to live in the palace, and he personally gave you your name."

The child swears, "Really, they thought I fell asleep, and they said it secretly. They said that the medicine was put in my favorite roast chicken, so I can't eat it."

Wen Zhiru asked eagerly, "Then what happened after that?"

"Later I threw the roast chicken over the wall to the rhubarb outside, and I saw it die after one bite!"

Wen Zhiru & Jin Yihui: "..."

"And then you ran away?"

"Of course, I heard it this time, what if I can't hear it next time?"

Wen Zhiru could only nod along.

Jin Yihui: "Do you know who gave the order to give you medicine?"

The servants in the ordinary mansion, at most, dislike the child for not being happy with the master, so they will not do their best to take care of it.

If they have no enmity or grudge, they will not want to buy poison | medicine | poison | harm others.

Let alone a child of a few years old.

"It's not just your younger brother and his daughter-in-law who just got married."

The child has never been aware of his own life experience, and maybe Yu is also afraid that telling him the truth will affect the child's future.

So much so that children still feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts when they see Jin Yixuan. After all, since he entered the Xianwang Mansion, the attitude of this person is also contemptuous and disgusting.

"This……"

After all, he was still his own family. Although Jin Yihui knew that his younger brother was not in the right mind, he still cared a little when he heard that he was going to poison and kill people.

Wen Zhiru didn't let him continue to ask, taking advantage of the servants' clothes and bath water, he pulled Jin Yihui out.

"Don't be angry, you should understand that Princess Chao'an is the only daughter of the eldest princess's mansion. How can anyone dare to make her feel wronged for so many years? Marrying Jin Yixuan this time, even though the other party has a prince title It's not considered married, but which woman would like to have an unmarried illegitimate child outside her husband? Even if this child has not been recognized by your family now, it can be raised in the mansion every day. I guess the princess will see it. It's annoying."

"Then you can also drive out of the house—"

"When you get out of the mansion, you will have to explain it when you ask. What if your father said to look for it and find it back? It is always clean and neat. When the time comes, make up an excuse to say that he died of illness and buried his body. It's over."

Jin Yihui nodded, he understood the truth, but it still made people sigh when it involved his own family.

"Anyway, he's fine now. This kid lived in our yard for a while. He's smart. He doesn't know about his mother's affairs. I think we'll let him live with us in the future."

"Follow us?" Jin Yihui couldn't help frowning when he heard this sentence.

Speaking of which, this child is actually his own nephew, and now the Prince Xian's Mansion will definitely not be able to stay any longer, and this is a way out for them.

only--

"When this incident is over, I don't want to stay in the capital either, so I can just take him away from these right and wrong places."

"Well, I understand." Wen Zhiru didn't like the intrigue in the officialdom, and Jin Yihun also made the decision early in the morning to accompany him to wander the world.

This child's identity can be reluctantly concealed at a young age, but in the future when he grows up, he will inevitably be discussed by others, and it will be troublesome again.

It's not about running for your life, even if you bring a child with you, it should be fine.

Besides, his and Wen Zhiru's knowledge is enough to teach this child to become a talent in the future.

The two of them made up their minds and made plans for the future for the child. At this time, the servant also helped the child take a bath and change into dry clothes.

Wen Zhiru and Jin Yihui returned to the room.

The kitchen cooked hot soup ramen all night, and the child was sitting at the table sucking sips.

There are no children in the house, so the clothes I found for the children were all short summer blouses, but they still grew a little when they were worn on the children. Those two sleeves are almost suitable for singing.

Especially the funny look of the child holding the noodle bowl while swinging the sleeve, Wen Zhiru almost laughed out loud when he saw it.

It was Jin Yi who thoughtfully went up to roll up the sleeves for the child. There is no maid in this house, so he can only find a servant and go out to the street to buy two sets of clothes for the child and come back.

The child concentrated on eating the noodles, and when he saw Wen Zhiru and the others coming in, he did not forget to say hello obediently, "Eldest young master, brother Shizi, the noodles are delicious."

"Since you call him brother, just call me that in the future." Wen Zhiru replied.

"Don't call me Brother Shizi, you can call me Brother Hun." If he really asked the child to call him uncle or something, Jin Yihun himself couldn't accept it.

"Okay." The child took another sip of the noodle soup, and responded with a happy face.

"After a while, your brother Hun and I will leave the capital. How about you, would you like to go with us?"

"Oh?" The child looked at Wen Zhiru and tilted his head and thought for a while, "Okay, brothers, do you want to bring Xiaobao with you?"

The child is not used to the name that Prince Xian gave him.

"Well, of course bring Xiaobao."

"Okay, okay! When are we leaving?" Children are always too curious about the outside world.

"Hurry up! But these few days you have to promise your brother to stay in this house obediently, not to run around, let alone go out to be seen."

Xiaobao is still clever in this kind of thing, nodding repeatedly, "Yeah, I know, I'm obedient."

***********************

In this way, Xiaobao was taken in by Wen Zhiru in the house. Apart from eating and drinking every day, Wen Zhiru finally had one more thing to do, which was to teach Xiaobao to read and write with Jin Yihui.

The days have been enriched a lot.

During this period, Wen Zhiru even found time to secretly meet his own father, Wen Yanfeng.

It is said that after Mr. Shoufu suddenly resigned, Qian first made a fuss in the mansion for a long time, crying and shouting, then went to complain to the old lady, and complained to her son and daughter.

But after I went back to my mother's house to find my brother to pour out the bitterness, I didn't know why I stopped making trouble.

Later, she simply used the excuse that her natal mother was not in good health, and brought her unmarried young daughter to live in Qian's Mansion, and never went back to Wen's Mansion.

Regarding this result, Wen Zhiru has some confidence in his heart. Everyone knows why the elder brother of Qian's natal family was promoted a while ago, and whose avenue he went through. order something.

Knowing that Wen's Mansion is about to end, Mrs. Qian would definitely not be willing to come back and wait to suffer.

Wen Zhiru also asked his father if he should follow the example of Prince Xian and take the old lady and the unmarried girls out of Beijing first.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yanfeng said that the old lady would definitely not be willing.

Mrs. Wen is getting old. Although she has been suffering from three illnesses and two disasters these years, she rarely goes out, and on the surface she often loses her temper because of some bad things about her parents, but she is like a bright mirror in her heart.

At this juncture, even if you don't say anything, it's impossible for the old lady not to notice something.

The more this is the case, the more the old man has the courage to be the mistress of the house, and he will stay in the capital and guard his own house, and it is impossible to leave easily.

Wen Zhiru didn't insist on anything, now they are fully prepared, with the old General Xiahou in the outer city, Young Master Ying and Lord Feng in the inner city, they can't even protect a few old and weak women and children.

…………

Soon came the day of the Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumn Festival.

After all, it was the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday, and the emperor had long said that it would be a big deal to show his filial piety.

So the palace was almost up all night preparing for it the night before.

Those royal relatives who were going to the palace to attend the banquet had also washed up early in the morning, dressed up and waited for the news from the palace to take them into the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

But as soon as the news came, it was afternoon.

Those royal relatives couldn't wait any longer.

According to the usual practice, the palace gate should be opened wide to welcome these princes and nobles into the palace after noon, but today, not only was there no movement, even the little eunuch who sent the news was not seen?

Emperor Jin Junyu also felt something abnormal in the palace from dawn on this day.

The guards who were in charge of patrolling the outside of his dormitory changed to a new group of people. Apart from the chief eunuch who had been waiting around him all the time, the little eunuch who usually waited on him to get up and change clothes also disappeared.

"Why didn't you see Xiao Fuzi who usually waits here today?" Jin Junyu asked casually.

"He's sick, and he's had a fever since yesterday afternoon. His Majesty may be overwhelmed by his illness on this happy day, so let him rest first."

"What about Xiao Xizi?"

"Xu Shi and Xiao Fuzi lived in the same room, and it was reported." The head of the Ouchi answered eloquently.

The emperor sighed, and sure enough, even the closest people around him were instigated, "On weekdays, they serve me with all their heart, don't delay the illness, and let the imperial hospital send someone to take a look at it soon."

"Yes. The servant will give orders in a while."

Jin Junyu remained calm and finished grooming under the service of the eunuch, but when he was about to step out of the bedroom to go to the morning court, he was stopped by the guards at the door.

"What's going on here?" The emperor pretended to be angry, and turned to look at Li Yuanzhong, the chief eunuch beside him.

Li Yuanzhong finally showed his true nature at this moment, and said with a sly smile: "Your Majesty, there is a nobleman who wants to talk to you a few words before you go to court."

"Who's so bold—" Before the emperor could finish his reprimand, he saw King Rui stepping in from the door of the sleeping hall with two entourages.

"Emperor brother, long time no see!"

King Rui's words are not true.

In fact, more than two months ago, when Princess Chaoan and Jin Yixuan got married, he came to the capital and attended the wedding banquet. Naturally, he had met the little emperor.

Afterwards, they moved into the palace directly under the pretext of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Although they would not deliberately meet each other on weekdays, the emperor occasionally went to the Queen Mother's Palace to invite Mr. An to meet him once or twice.

"Brother Huang, we had lunch together the day before yesterday, why has it been so long?"

"Really? That may be because my memory is not very good." King Rui passed the emperor and sat down on the Arhat bed behind him. He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, shook his head and put down the quilt, "You The slaves here are no good! Why is the tea cold?"

Before the emperor explained that he seldom had the opportunity to drink tea in the bedroom, he usually went to bed after reviewing the memorials in the imperial study, and had to rush to the court when he got up. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanzhong next to him gave Rui Wang the first step apologize.

"It's the negligence of the servants. I didn't know that the prince is coming here, so I will make you a cup of hot tea!"

This dogleg's attitude and tone are much better than being on an errand by his side.

Li Yuanzhong was a servant who had been left behind since the time of the first emperor. He had served two emperors and was quite famous in both the harem and the previous court.

The current emperor, Jin Junyu, was just a little prince who was bullied in the harem when he first met Li Yuanzhong. In order to live a better life for himself and his concubine, he would inevitably beg Li Yuanzhong to speak in front of the late emperor. Say something nice.

Even now that he is the emperor, Li Yuanzhong still has such arrogance in front of him.

I thought he had such a temper, and besides, he served with all his heart, so the little emperor didn't care too much.

Now seeing his behavior in front of King Rui...

Jin Junyu couldn't help frowning.

While Li Yuanzhong was out to pour tea, the people brought by King Rui had already surrounded the bedroom inside and out.

Although he was prepared early in the morning, the emperor still couldn't hide his nervousness in the face of this situation.

This expression successfully made King Rui even more complacent, and he sat there and posed directly to the emperor: "My brother, don't say I'll teach you servants, you are too tolerant of them Well, this slave won't do things well unless he beats or scolds."

"Yes, Brother Huang is right." Jin Junyu replied absently, "Brother Huang, it's time to go to court now, I don't know why Brother Huang came so early for something important?"

"Well, yes, I was so busy talking to you about those slaves that I forgot the business."

"Brother, please tell me."

"No, today is the [-]th birthday of my mother, and I have prepared a lot of congratulatory gifts."

"Yes, the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Festival must be properly handled. Brother Huang is so cautious, and the Empress Mother will be very relieved when she finds out."

"But I always feel that those rare treasures, gold, silver and pearl hairpins are too vulgar. I want to prepare some more special birthday gifts that will make her old man really happy for a while."

"Since it's the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival, no matter how precious a gift is in this world, it is naturally worthy of it. What is the emperor looking for? As long as you mention it, I will do my best to help the emperor."

"Why do you need to go through so much trouble?" King Rui finally laughed when he said this, "I just want to sit in the seat of the emperor's brother in the Jinluan Hall. I think the empress mother will be happy."

At this moment, the emperor's expression also became serious, "Brother emperor, this is not a joke."

King Rui glanced at the guards guarding the door, "Imperial Brother thinks that Brother Wei came here early in the morning to joke with you?"

"Brother Huang, this is a serious crime for you to seek to usurp the throne."

Brothers who have been brothers for decades, although their friendship is not deep, they are still connected by blood.

Especially when the little emperor remembered that before the death of the late emperor, he urged him to treat the Queen Mother and King Rui well, hoping to use his generosity to resolve the hostility between brothers...

Feeling more and more emotional.

"After I win this world, I will have the final say on what it takes to usurp the throne." King Rui lost his patience when he said this, and took out an imperial decree that he had prepared long ago, and gave it to the little emperor, "Let's stamp it! "

He looked at the shocked expression on the emperor's face, and added, "Actually, it's okay if you don't want to. I have the final say on what kind of seal you want to stamp on this place after you die. I can still say a few words to you here." It's just a matter of brotherhood. If you are more sensible, I can still leave you a whole body. When the time comes, if you die suddenly from a serious illness, you can still be buried in the emperor's tomb.

If you insist on dying, it will be even more difficult to say where the corpse will be buried, not to mention the ugly appearance of death. "

"You..." The little emperor was extremely angry, but he still wanted to maintain the dignity of an emperor, "You never thought about what will happen to you if you fail?"

"I want to! Of course I want to. I've been thinking about it in my dreams all these years." When this topic was brought up, King Rui's eyes became more and more serious. I don't want a son-in-law, but I insist on making you a lowly bastard as the prince.

What fails without failing?This world should be mine! "

Speaking of which, King Rui had already drawn his sword and was about to slash at the emperor.

We are all princes, and we also learned riding and archery and martial arts from the same master when we were young. Although Jin Junyu didn't hold a weapon in his hand at the moment, he managed to dodge the attack astutely, and shouted by the way, "Come on, Escort!!"

King Rui was still unhurried, and sneered, "Escort?! Who else can you call out now?" He said to the guards guarding the door, "Come here, take him down for me!"

However, the next moment, the guards who rushed into the sleeping hall not only did not attack the little emperor, but directly captured King Rui, and placed several steel knives neatly around his neck.

"You... this is..." King Rui wanted to scold these subordinates angrily, but when he raised his eyes, he realized that these people were obviously not the dead servants he had inserted into the palace early in the morning.

Looking at the confident look of the emperor in front of him again, he suddenly understood, "You already knew?"

The emperor did not reply, but expressed his acquiescence with his eyes.

"When did this happen?"

After the accident in Shanxi Mansion last time, Lord Rui wondered if the emperor had become suspicious long ago.

This is also one of the reasons that forced him to act in advance. He thought that as long as he moved fast enough, he could be caught off guard. After all, the little emperor is soft-hearted, especially on such a big day as the Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumn Festival. There is no reason why he should be prepared so full.

"Your Majesty, King Rui's men and horses inside and outside the imperial city, as well as in the Empress Dowager's bedroom, have all been dealt with. Please let me know what to do with you, Your Majesty."

At this time, it was Xia Houchen who hurried over. He was wearing armor, and he was probably secretly promoted to the commander of the imperial army after accidentally discovering King Rui's plot last time.

At this time, King Rui also recognized Xiahou Chen, and he understood the situation better, "As expected, when General Xiahou led his troops to station outside the capital that day, you already noticed it?"

The emperor was noncommittal, and did not answer King Rui's question, but said: "Now that the evidence is convincing, is there anything else you want to say, brother?"

"Winner and loser, I have nothing to say. If you are a man, give me a knife."

He has painstakingly planned for many years, just for today's desperation.

Now that all achievements have fallen short, even if they continue to live on, it is better to live than to die, and it is better to die.

"You can't die!" Wen Yanfeng came late at this time, and Wen Zhiru and Jin Yihun were following behind him.

As soon as he entered the door, he bowed briefly to the emperor, "I am late to save you, please forgive me your majesty."

"Ai Qing doesn't need to be too polite." Now that the matter has been resolved smoothly, it's time to reward meritorious deeds, and the emperor naturally doesn't care about the small issue of when Wen Yanfeng will come.

At this time, Wen Yanfeng took out a military talisman from his bosom, and handed it to the emperor, "When I entered the palace, I went to the Queen Mother's bedroom first.

"This..." The little emperor took the soldier talisman in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, feeling a little unbelievable for a moment, as if in a dream.

Before the first emperor abdicated, he handed over one-third of the soldiers and horses in the world to the queen mother, just to fear that the emperor, after succeeding to the throne, would do something to the unrelated aunt. Hidden danger.

Originally, this should also be the Empress Dowager's life-saving talisman. As long as it is there, the emperor would not dare to treat the Empress Dowager too harshly.

But now...

"The empress dowager's intention is to ask His Majesty to give their mother and child a way out." Wen Yanfeng continued to explain.

King Rui's rebellion should be executed according to the law, but the empress dowager is the emperor's mother, the first emperor's wife, even if she committed a crime, the emperor can only abolish her title of empress dowager, and wait for death in the quiet palace all her life.

After all, no emperor is willing to bear the notoriety of killing his mother.

But as long as the empress dowager still holds this soldier talisman in her hand, as long as she is not dead, there will always be a day when the throne will be threatened.

Therefore, as soon as Wen Yanfeng entered the palace, he first went to the queen mother to negotiate terms, whether she wanted her precious son's life, or clinging to this tattered soldier talisman to live in poverty in the cold palace for the rest of his life.

In the end, the queen mother really let go.

Although she also understood that if Wen Yanfeng was a treacherous official or the little emperor was a little more cold-blooded and ruthless, he could have taken the military talisman and let the mother and son die together, cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots.

But she still wanted to take a gamble and save her son's life.

The little emperor was indeed a little hesitant at this time.

Just a few months ago, when Xia Houchen first reported King Rui's changes to him, he still held that inexplicable benevolence, unwilling to see the situation where brothers fought against each other.

He even hoped that King Rui would stop at the end.

But it really came to this day, when he saw King Rui slashing at him with a sword regardless of his brother's affection——

The dignity that belonged to his emperor suddenly gained the upper hand, for the sake of the country or the throne, in short, he is now deeply aware of how benevolent a woman he was before.

To deal with such rebellious officials and thieves who only have power in their eyes, they should be executed early.

But now Wen Yanfeng was standing in front of him holding the Queen Mother's message begging for mercy.

"Wen Shang—Ai Qing, in your opinion, how should I make a decision?"

"Now that King Rui and the Empress Dowager have subdued the law, and the military power has been handed over to His Majesty, I think that there is no need for His Majesty to bear the notoriety of killing their mother and brother because of them. It is better to let them guard the mausoleum for the late emperor and send someone to strictly guard them." .”

"Well... what Aiqing said is true." Wen Yanfeng also saved the last face for the queen mother and her son.

"Then let's do it this way! Let the imperial guards take good care of it, and tell the queen mother that she must not step out of the emperor's mausoleum with the emperor's brother in this life."

*********************

The rebellion between the Queen Mother and King Rui was resolved satisfactorily.

Of course, the so-called Qianqiu banquet cannot be held.

Later, the emperor issued a decree, saying that the queen mother was too sick to move out of the palace to rest, and King Rui accompanied her to show her filial piety.

Of course, the ministers and relatives of the emperor who received the news knew it well, but they still agreed on the surface and wished the Queen Mother a speedy recovery.

When Jin Yixuan, who was still dreaming of a dream of becoming a prosperous man, heard the news, he immediately packed up his bags and planned to escape for his life.

But before he stepped out of the palace, he was stopped by Princess Chao'an.

Now that she married Jin Yixuan, she was also on the same boat.

Princess Chao'an still has parents in the capital, so she can't just run away like Jin Yixuan, but she can't tolerate this wretch just leaving her and running away.

Originally, she was unwilling to marry since she knew that he had Xiaobao's illegitimate son of unknown origin outside.

If it weren't for the eldest princess and the queen mother forcing her, how could she have committed such a crime.

Jin Yixuan knew that Princess Chao'an was not a woman to mess with, so he could only soften his words and beg for mercy.

Now the emperor also has a lot of mess left by King Rui to deal with in the palace, and he can't think of his small role for the time being, if he doesn't sneak away tonight, the entire palace of King Xian will probably be sealed up tomorrow.

Princess Chao'an despises his cowardly behavior the most. Since she received the news from the palace, she also knows that she and Jin Yixuan are completely over.

Running away is not important at all. Anyway, they, the royal relatives who have grown up with gold and jade, may not survive outside.

In the end, Jin Yixuan, Princess Chao'an, and the people from the Princess's Mansion were all invited into the palace by the emperor to send them away.

The emperor probably still saw the friendship between the eldest princess and him who grew up together.
