Liu Juqi was led by Hua Jianzhao, and went all the way to Xuan Yichen's study unimpeded. Xuan Yichen was still discussing affairs inside, Hua Jianzhao took out the fan pinned to his waist, and threw it in through the open window, just as it fell into the In the pen holder on Xuan Yichen's desk, the room was full of civil servants and military generals, startled.

"Xuan Yichen, if you don't come out again, I'll elope with Liu'er." Hua Jianzhao giggled out of shape, and the guards next to him got Xuan Yichen's order, so they didn't dare to attack Liu Juqi, so they had to stand in the cold nearby Eyes intimidate Hua Jianzhao.

After the room was quiet for a while, Xuan Yichen really left those officials behind and came out. Huajian clapped his hands and spun up the tree, "Talk slowly, I won't be in the way."

When we saw each other again, it was like a lifetime away, this was Liu Juqi's first feeling, Xuan Yichen had lost weight, and the blood in his eyes showed how tired he was these past few days, Liu Juqi couldn't utter all the heavy words, just kept silent Looking at him calmly, Xuan Yichen pulled him into his arms, hugged him tightly and sighed, "Why don't you obey me?"

Liu Juqi had a sore nose, he knew that Xuan Yichen trapped him outside the palace for his own safety, but he was also Xuan Yichen's lover, and he didn't want him to be at ease when the other party was busy, but Xuan Yichen always put He treats like a child...

"Xuan Yichen, since you got what you wanted, let Xuan Yixi and Yiyu go...they are no longer a threat to you." Liu Juqi looked up at Xuan Yichen's haggard face, " Then I will accompany you, I will help you earn a lot of money, and you will be a good emperor who works hard and loves the people, okay?"

Xuan Yichen kissed Liu Juqi lightly on the forehead, "I can make up my own mind about their affairs, you can live in the palace with peace of mind when you come, don't worry about anything else."

"You can't kill them—"

"Liu'er, as I said, I make my own decisions." Xuan Yichen's expression turned serious, "Governing the country and consolidating the imperial power are not as simple as you think, I promise you will do my best to protect them... ,I can not guarantee."

Liu Juqi was stunned, and gave such an ambiguous answer again, does Xuan Yichen want to lie to himself again?

"Hua Jian Zhao," Xuan Yichen raised his head and called to the people on the tree, "Please stay with Liu Er for a while and keep him safe."

"Don't worry." Hua Jianzhao agreed with a smile on her cheek, "My elder brother said, remember to return all borrowed soldiers, and pay a bucket of rice for one missing soldier. There must be no ambiguity."

Liu Juqi listened to Hua Jianzhao's witty words, but couldn't laugh at all. He watched Xuan Yichen re-enter the study, bowed his head, choked up and couldn't speak.

Seeing Xuan Yichen stepping into her room, Xuan Yixi put down the wine jar and smiled self-deprecatingly, "What? Can't help but want to come and take my life?"

Xuan Yichen was not irritated by him, but just sat down with his robe lifted, "Yixi, I'm not as unkind as you think."

"Hmph, now that I'm saying this, do you think I'll believe it?" Xuan Yixi sighed resignedly, and said with a distressed expression, "Second brother, it doesn't matter what you want to do with me, I just ask you to let big brother go, big brother He has no ambitions, no background, and is your twin brother of the same father and mother. If you still have a little bit of conscience, treat your elder brother kindly, give him good medicine and medicine, and let him live his life with peace of mind and happiness."

Xuan Yichen smiled and shook his head, "I thought you would be more willing to do it for me."

Xuan Yixi looked at him incredulously, "You... what do you mean?"

"As long as you can meet the conditions I said, I can let you and big brother go far away, but if you can't reveal your identity and live incognito for the rest of your life, are you willing?" Xuan Yichen put the almost empty wine Picking up the jar and throwing it aside, he poured a cup of strong tea for Xuan Yixi, "Alcohol is intestinal poison, you'd better drink less."

Xuan Yichen and Xuan Yixi had a long talk for nearly an hour. No one knew what the brothers had said. However, when Xuan Yichen came out, they first put Xuan Yixi in the dungeon, and then put him under confinement. Xuan Yiyu, who had nothing to do with this fight in "Si Guo Tang", was also thrown into prison together.

The prince's decree: the abolition of the prince has shamed the royal family, and the fourth prince's ambition is shameful. Tomorrow noon, he will be beheaded in the streets.

When the sky was getting dark, the person who was more patient than Xuan Yichen finally couldn't sit still, the veteran brought a group of horses to rob the prison, Xuan Yichen had already prepared himself, the vicinity of the prison was like a wall of iron and steel, they could not get in or out. Come on, completely become a turtle in an urn.

When the bloody battle came out, more than half of the troops had already been cut off. Xuan Yixi hugged Xuan Yiyu tightly, and with a long knife, he slashed and killed in the surrounding chaos——

Xuan Yichen was wrapped in a bright yellow patterned dragon cloak on the tower, watching the fight below with cold eyes, Luo Qiutang beside him was puzzled and said, "Your Highness, why don't you send more soldiers, why continue to fight with them?"

"Because I have to solve them with my own hands so I can rest assured. Bring the bow." Xuan Yichen took the bow handed over by his subordinates. He touched the specially made arrow feathers, and with an indiscernible smile in his eyes, he strung the bow. With a full bow, shoot the white feather arrow through the wind...

The fighting chaos in the arena suddenly quieted down. Everyone stopped their movements and looked at the two people who were lying in a pool of blood in astonishment. This fight was completely over and it was meaningless...

Xuan Yixi hugged Xuan Yiyu tightly until she died, and the white plume arrow pierced through her chest, nailing the two bodies together and connecting them closely.

"Ni Shou is dead. Anyone who abandons his weapons and surrenders will not be guilty if he does not kill." Xuan Yichen looked at the fiery red sun rising in the east, with a faint smile on his lips, and the bright yellow cloak was lifted by the morning wind. The figure standing on the city tower was bathed in the sunlight, and it actually gave people an incomparably heart-wrenching sense of surrender.

Luo Qiutang took the lead and knelt down, and said loudly, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live——"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live - my emperor, long live, long live -"

The deafening shouts overwhelmed the sound of the weapons falling to the ground. This battle for succession, on this blood-stained dawn morning, was successfully and thoroughly painted with a strong final touch.

No one noticed that the two people who were supposed to be dead disappeared silently on this chaotic battlefield at some point.

*****

Liu Juqi didn't want to see Xuan Yichen again, but he heard that Xuan Yichen shot and killed Xuan Yiyu and Xuan Yixi with his own hands, and pierced the two of them to death with one arrow... I heard that Xuan Yichen was buried together for Emperor Fenglan and the Empress , in the imperial mausoleum to keep filial piety and wear white for seven days... I heard that Xuan Yichen will have an auspicious day, inherit the great order of the sky, successfully ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and the reign name is Qitai...

In the blink of an eye, it's midsummer. I don't know if it's because the water pavilion is too cool, or because his heart is too cold. Liu Juqi feels that this summer has never come.

Hua Jianzhao left half a month ago, always coming and going without a trace.

Xiao Luan still did his best to serve Liu Juqi, always persuading him to understand Xuan Yichen's difficulties, it was easy to say, but Liu Juqi couldn't forget that every night when he closed his eyes, it was when they met for the first time The joy and beauty——In a conversation in "Luoshen Pavilion", Xuan Yiyu smiled and said that Liu Juqi was his confidant, and his two younger brothers were gooses. Select the first floor, trick Zhang Luxin in the palace, help Xuan Yiyu make medicine, and drink with Xuan Yixi on the rockery...

The past is vivid in my mind, the palace is still the same, but things are different, which makes people feel sad.

Liu Juqi couldn't face Xuan Yichen, although from the perspective of an emperor, Xuan Yichen did nothing wrong, but he just couldn't let it go, those close friends and laughter in the past were crushed one by one by the cold imperial power and ruthless arrow feathers. Shot to pieces.

This is reality, this is what he should bear when he chose to stand by Xuan Yichen's side, it's so heavy that even sadness feels like a luxury.

Xiao Luan knew that Liu Juqi was unhappy, but Liu Juqi ate and slept normally, and talked as before, and there was nothing wrong with him at all, except for those eyes that lost their agility...

Xuan Yichen couldn't remember how many times he was standing far away, looking at Liu Juqi through the narrow window, he sighed, and was about to follow his attendant to leave when Xiao Luan suddenly walked out of the Waterside Pavilion. He ran out and shouted happily, "Your Majesty, please stay! Brother Liu wants to see you!"

"You are all waiting here." Xuan Yichen was overjoyed, and strode into the Waterside Pavilion, impatient to see the person he missed day and night.

However, as soon as he saw Liu Juqi, he felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold winter water on him. Liu Juqi was kneeling upright on the ground, bowing his head respectfully, "My minister Liu Juqi, see the emperor."

"Liu'er, what are you doing, get up quickly..." Xuan Yichen felt a pang in his heart, and stepped forward to help Liu Juqi up. Liu Juqi broke free from his hand calmly, still hanging his head, "Your Majesty, slightly The minister’s name in the palace is not correct, so I would like to resign and leave the palace, and ask the emperor for permission.”

"Liu'er, didn't you say that you want to watch this wonderful river and mountain with me?" Xuan Yichen grabbed Liu Juqi's arm in a state of confusion, "Don't leave the palace, stay and be my queen, okay? I've already The decree has been drawn up, and you will be appointed queen at the beginning of next month!"

"Xuan Yichen," Liu Juqi finally raised his head, his ashen eyes finally fluctuated a little, "I can't stay here... Even if you have a good conscience, I still dream of Yi Yuhe who died in vain every night." Xuan Yixi, I can't stand it, from the moment you shot them, you should know that we are over."

Xuan Yichen was too stagnant to speak, he wanted to tell the truth, but the previous court was not stable, and any small mistake could turn into a fatal injury, he only needed to wait until the beginning of next month before he could consolidate the truth. His own power completely disintegrated Xuan Yixi's remaining party members...

"Liu'er, wait a little longer, I will tell you everything at the beginning of next month—"

"I don't want to wait any longer! What are you trying to argue with?" Liu Juqi shook off him, stepped back step by step, and looked at Xuan Yichen like he was looking at a stranger, "I don't want to believe you anymore."

Xuan Yichen only felt pain in his throat, "Trust me?... Liu Er, when did you trust me? You would rather listen to other people's words than listen to my explanation. All my difficulties are with you It's all lies."

"That's right, I don't believe you, you are too scheming, you even plotted against your own brother, and even poisoned me, why should I believe you?" Liu Juqi sneered, "The relationship between us has long been overwhelmed by you There is nothing left of my great career, Xuan Yichen, please let me out of the palace."

Xuan Yichen was silent for a while, then said word by word, "From today onwards, I will not let you step out of the East Palace, you stay here well."

"You told me?" Liu Juqi sat down on the chair, looked at Xuan Yichen with a smile instead of anger, "Okay, I don't want to lose my head for disobeying the emperor, if the emperor likes to shut me up, just shut me up." , it’s the same when I go out of the palace after you are no longer interested in me, or do you want me to stay with you for one night before letting me go?”

"You..." Xuan Yichen took a deep breath, and a look of pain flashed across his clear phoenix eyes, "Liu'er, I will come to see you when I have time, we all need to calm down...I'm going first. "

"No." Liu Juqi watched Xuan Yichen leave, his eyes gradually blurred.

It's not that I don't love, it's just that I can't continue to accept such sinful feelings that are stained with the blood of others.
