At Yin time, the sky is hazy.

Fu'an led a group of palace people into the side hall of Chonghua Palace gently. After the palace people put down their washing utensils and some light meals, they retreated silently, leaving Fu'an alone to wait on them.

"Your Highness, the time has come, you should go to court." Fu An whispered from behind the screen.

In the end, he didn't hear anything, so he waited for a while, but there was still no sound.Fu'an was worried, and cautiously poked his head out with his hands on the screen, but saw that the bedding on the bed was neatly folded, but there was no one there.

Looking to the side, Ao Ye was already dressed properly, and he was standing by the window with his arms behind his hands, looking in the direction of the main hall.

However, there is a wall opposite this window, and even if you look at it for a year or so, you can't see any flowers.

Fu'an shook his head, really not knowing what the embarrassment between His Royal Highness and Mr. She was.In the past, the two of them could not wait to sleep on the same bed with their limbs intertwined. A few days ago, they made out from night to dawn, and the noise was so loud that the guards outside the palace had to plug their ears.

Fortunately, a grassroots person lives in the main hall, while the real owner of the East Palace lives in the deserted and small side hall with grievances.

"Your Highness, are you still going to the morning court today?" Fu'an whispered, "If you don't go, this servant will go and ask for leave for you."

"No need." Ao Ye looked back, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, his eyes were turning blue, his lips were chapped and peeled, and his chin had a thin layer of stubble.

Fu'an was a little startled, it seemed that he hadn't slept all night, and the person who could teach him to be so depressed must have been that Mr. She.

"In another hour, you order someone to cook a bowl of medicine according to the prescription given by Yuyi Lin, and don't forget to prepare candied fruit." Ao Ye said lightly, "For the time being, the meals prepared for Young Master She are mainly light. The melons and fruits are sent hot..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he made a series of arrangements, covering almost all aspects of basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation. Hearing this, Fu An's scalp became numb, and he was afraid that he would forget the previous ones after hearing the latter, and then be blamed by His Highness when he turned around.

"Have you remembered everything?"

After a while, Ao Ye frowned.

Cold sweat broke out on Fu'an's back, and he said with a sneer, "Young Master She's health is the first priority, and secondly, you must try your best to meet what Young Master She needs, and you must not wait too long. Do you think this is the case, Your Highness?"

"Yeah." Ao Ye's frowning eyebrows relaxed a little, thought for a while, and then said, "If Mr. She asks Gu..."

"How?" Fu'an said.

Ao Ye sighed softly, stretched out his hand to close the window, walked around Fu'an and the screen and went to the outside room, but didn't say what would be the answer if She Yanbai asked Fu'an.

After such a delay, Ao Ye rushed out of the East Palace after washing in a hurry, and didn't even have time to take a bite of the meal brought by the palace servants.

It is inevitable that you will meet ministers of the court on the road. Some will avoid them from a distance and pretend to be out of sight, some will be respectful and respectful, and some will hesitate to speak and hesitate to go forward.

Emperor Yuanshuo had three sons and two daughters, but the second prince, Ao Min, was born to a lowly servant girl and was born with foot disease, so he absolutely could not be emperor.The rest are Ao Ji, the son of a noble concubine who is backed by a wealthy family, and Ao Ye, the son of a queen from the northern border.

In the eyes of the officials, the chances of the two princes winning in the end are [-]-[-].Ao Ji is favored by the Holy Majesty, his mother Liu Guifei is even more honored and favored, and there is support from the Liu family and other aristocratic families behind him, no one can guarantee whether the Holy Majesty will come to an abandoned prince to set up a new heir.

Not to mention Ao Ye's side, he had already occupied the crown prince's position first. If the Holy Spirit had not changed his position before his death, he would be a legitimate new emperor.Moreover, Ao Ye is a descendant of the Ye family who has guarded the northern border for hundreds of years. The Ye family is a family of generals who have always been invincible on the battlefield. Almost all military officers in the court have been taught by the Ye family for several generations.Therefore, even if the military officers didn't say anything, most of them were inclined to Ao Ye in their hearts.

With the support of all the military officers, it stands to reason that Ao Ye's faction should beat Ao Ji, but who knows that the Liu family has produced a powerful cultivator who especially cares about his relatives.

It is difficult to pick one person who can cultivate with spiritual roots. Even so, there are many practitioners in the Eastern Qin Kingdom.But once ordinary people set foot on the fairy road, how can they care about trivial matters in the world? They only talk about the sect regardless of the country. From then on, they only regard themselves as superior people from the upper realm. It's just passing by, and there are only a few people like Liu's cultivators.

It just so happens that it is this minority that sometimes overwhelms mortals.In the eyes of mortals, although cultivators are not omnipotent gods, they are not far behind. They are existences that make them both respect and fear.No one knows if the cultivator is offended, whether the other party will retaliate regardless of the smoothness of the immortal journey.

Inside the Golden Luan Hall, civil and military officials arrived one after another.

Afterwards, Emperor Yuan Shuo sat on the throne on the high platform surrounded by eunuchs, and his gentle yet majestic eyes glanced at the civil and military officials and the two princes Ao Ye and Ao Min under the high platform.

Everyone bowed and saluted, shouting long live.

The eunuch Fuquan took a step forward, flicked the dust whisk in his hand, and the soft white hair scattered and closed after half a circle in the air.

"Whoever has something to do will hear it!"

There was a moment of silence in the middle of the court, and suddenly a person stepped forward and shouted, "I have my own play!"

This person was Jiang Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry who went to Jiangning Mansion with Li An, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and was ordered by Ao Ji to go back to Beijing first to send a letter of guilt.

It is said to be an apology, but it is actually a complaint.

According to the letter, the slander started with Ao Ye falling into the water, saying that he offended the water god, and that it was a violent act for him to kill the court officials without trial, and it was even more unknown that he contracted the disease later.

To say between the lines that Ao Ye is a person rejected by the gods is to say that he should be tied to the altar to pray for forgiveness from the gods.

And Ao Ji himself became the incarnation of auspiciousness, and he recovered from the disease as soon as he arrived in Jiangning Mansion.Later, the altar collapsed, and he was lucky to be unscathed, and he said that he was favored by the gods.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Yuan Shuo asked.

"I heard that on the night of the God Welcoming Festival, His Highness the Crown Prince passed by an audience where an exorcism activity was being held, and then something strange happened. I think this may prove what His Highness said in the letter." Jiang Jiang Langzhong's eyes were squeezed into slits by the fat on his face, and most of the malice in his eyes was hidden.

Hearing this, the gentleness on Emperor Yuan Shuo's face faded a bit.

"If I remember correctly, you returned to Beijing the day after the God-welcoming Festival, and you can still see what happened in the past with your eyes open?" A tall military officer from the northern border couldn't bear to listen, and said angrily.

Jiang Langzhong said again, "Of course I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard about it from the people. Although His Highness the Crown Prince has a high status, he is not someone who lives in the deep palace. There are also a few people who happened to recognize His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oh, and you happened to overhear them when they were discussing?" The military officer glared, "How come I don't have such good luck as you?"

"Hey, well, the fact of the coincidence is out of my control." Jiang Langzhong said with a smile, "I think that if there is no explanation for this matter, the common people may have a lot of discussions."

"Oh, I don't think it's clear, the Third Prince is the first to bear the brunt. No matter how much you say, the person presiding over the sacrifices is the Third Prince. If the Third Prince is favored by the gods, how could he make such a big mistake?" The military officer became angry. , and he was a little disregarded when he spoke, "Who doesn't know that the third prince led a team from the capital to Jiangning Mansion for more than a month! Even climbing would not be so slow! If the third prince is slower, the rice that Jiangning Mansion re-plants will not be so slow." If it's ripe, wouldn't it be more auspicious!"

As soon as this remark came out, many neutrals and officials who favored Ao Ye laughed silently.They have been officials for many years, and neither of them is a fool, how can they fail to see the way.

Ao Ye, the crown prince, among other things, is much better than Ao Ji who is still a child with a competent and responsible person.

Emperor Yuan Shuo looked at the confrontation next, then at Ao Ye, who had always looked calm, and frowned slightly, "The crown prince and the third prince belong to the blood of our Eastern Qin royal family, if they are not favored by the gods, it means that our Eastern Qin is also If you are not favored by the gods, please be careful with your words."

The two of them pleaded guilty, but both restrained a little.

"Don't bring this matter up again." Emperor Yuan Shuo said, "Do the rest of the lovers have their own performances?"

Ao Ye, who had been watching coldly, said, "I think Jiang Langzhong's words are true. I may have offended the gods unintentionally, so I ask your majesty to come down and ask the gods to appease their anger."

Ao Ye's words were like a thunderbolt. Some people liked him because he was stupid, while others worried that he was asking for trouble.

Emperor Yuan Shuo was also taken aback, and stared at Ao Ye's cold face for a long while, but felt tired when he didn't change his words.

"Since the crown prince has said so, please allow your majesty the crown prince's request." Jiang Langzhong booed.

Emperor Yuan Shuo raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, looked at the two faces on the left and right, and sighed, "What's the opinion of the two lovers?"

The two prime ministers on the left and right looked at each other, and then the prime minister on the left said seriously, "I think the gods are magnanimous, and they will not blame ordinary people for trivial matters. All the so-called anger of the gods are just coincidences in my opinion. But be safe People's hearts, please ask the prince to live in the Jokhang Temple for a few days, eat fast and chant Buddha to pray for the gods to bless Dongqin."

"My minister seconded the proposal." Prime Minister You stroked his beard, "As Your Majesty said, the two princes represent Dong Qin, and the punishment means admitting that Dong Qin has offended the gods. for."

One of these two is a veteran of the three dynasties, and the other is a neutral faction who was promoted by the former emperor against all opinions and was born as a commoner.Often when they speak in the court, the officials are still willing to listen.

"Yes, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name is enough."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

……

"In this case, according to Zuoxiang's words, let the prince go to the Jokhang Temple to eat vegetarian food and pray for 49 days." Emperor Yuanshuo said with a smile.

"I have one more thing." Ao Ye said expressionlessly.

Xu Shi hadn't slept peacefully for a few days, his brows and eyes were filled with evil spirit, and his face was cold, he looked like a fierce god, the kind who could cut off the head of a rebel with a sharp knife drawn in his hand at any time.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Yuan Shuo asked.

"The third prince needs to go with me to the Jokhang Temple to eat fast and chant Buddha." Ao Ye sneered, "Something happened to the sacrifice he presided over. Shouldn't he be apologetic to the gods?"

Emperor Yuan Shuo waved his hand, "Yes."

Jiang Langzhong was dumbfounded now, he brought up the old story again, and he was instructed by Ao Ji, because Ao Ji was going to the capital today.He wanted to see Ao Ye being punished on the day he returned to Beijing, but he didn't expect that he would be punished as well.

He knew that with Ao Ji's temperament, he would not have any good fruit to eat when he turned around, and his face turned pale.

On that day, as soon as the morning was over, Ao Ye went straight out of the imperial city, and rode a tall horse with Shuanghua Sword to the south gate of the capital to wait.

When he saw Ao Ji's convoy, he immediately rode forward and picked Ao Ji out of the carriage with the Shuanghua Sword.

"Ao Ye, are you crazy? Let go of my highness! Someone, come and save my highness, Ao Ye is going to kill me..." Ao Ji yelled.

Without saying a word, Ao Ye held Ao Ji's belt with one hand, and clamped the horse's belly with both legs.

The horse raised its front hooves, let out a loud neigh, and galloped away. The dust raised up caused Ao Ji to sneeze, and he couldn't speak.

Arriving at the Jokhang Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, Ao Ye reined in his horse, let go of his hands, and watched the disheveled Ao Ji fall to the ground with cold eyes, baring his teeth and howling in pain.

"Ao Ye, you wait! I want to tell father and mother that you are finished!" Ao Ji said angrily.

Ao Ye twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a cruel smile.He drew out the Shuanghua sword, leaned over on the horse, and stuck the sword between Ao Ji's legs.

"waste."

Ao Ji stared at the sword between his legs, pointed at Ao Ye with trembling fingers, and was speechless for a long time.

Just a little bit!He almost became a eunuch!

On that side, She Yanbai spent a few days in the East Palace quietly, eating and sleeping all day long, or meditating and practicing. Although she lived a very leisurely life tomorrow, she felt more and more uncomfortable all over her body.

He has recovered from his injuries, and his cultivation is also recovering rapidly, but he is inexplicably longing to see Ao Ye, especially the miraculous aura in his body, almost to the point of thinking about it day and night.

When he finally couldn't bear it, the empress of Qifeng Palace summoned him.

"Yanbai, can you accompany Aniang to the Jokhang Temple to see Ye'er?" Ye Xiuyun said.

She Yanbai lowered her head and licked her dry lips.

"it is good."
