Half-dead paulownia

(Anling Imperial City, Sun Moon Pavilion)

As night fell, An Ling Mingcheng was completely sleepless, looking out from time to time, as if waiting for something.

"Are you waiting for Hao'er?" An Ruo saw through An Lingmingcheng's meaning and knew that he just kept this longing in his heart, so she asked for him.

"It's just that I haven't seen him for a while." An Lingmingcheng finally expressed his thoughts, eyes full of longing.

An Ruo gently closed the concealed door, and said cautiously: "I'll ask Hao'er to investigate Luo Shengchuan and see what he's up to." He could only keep concealing it, but he didn't know that people who missed Anling Yuhao How could he be alone?But he could only endure the pain.

"Hao'er has really grown up, it's time to entrust the country to him." An Ling Mingcheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and he himself knew his current physical condition. Although he was lucky enough to wake up, he couldn't say when He will die forever, and if he doesn't handle everything well, what face does he have to face his ancestors?

"Mingcheng, does Hao'er still need your help??" An Ruo looked at Anling Mingcheng sadly, why didn't she understand the meaning of his words, it was just pretending to be confused.

Finally watching An Ling Mingcheng, who was a little weak, fall asleep, but An Ruo didn't take a good rest afterward. She had been up all night for many consecutive days, but she still put on her clothes lightly and walked out the door.

The cold wind hit An Ruo's thin body, and he couldn't help shivering in the cold wind in the middle of the night. Not far from the Sun Moon Pavilion, several black shadows gathered together.

"Any news about the prince?" An Ruo asked anxiously in a low voice.

"Go back to your mother, or not?" Liu Meng said sadly: "Qin Xiangkai and I have been searching under the cliff for several days, but we still haven't found anything. We even asked the passers-by who passed by, but they said they didn't find any injured people. people."

A gleam of light flashed in An Ruo's eyes: "Such a result may not be bad. If there is really no trace or even a dead body, then he may have hope of survival."

"The prince is blessed and blessed, all catastrophes have passed, and he will probably escape this time." Liu Meng said in a confident tone.

"Cough cough??? cough cough" An Ruo suddenly coughed violently.

"Your Majesty??" Qin Xiang asked earnestly.

"It's okay, as long as I find Hao'er, everything will be fine." An Ruo sighed sincerely, the hard work of the past few days had exhausted her physically and mentally.

During such a short conversation, no one noticed the figure hiding in the distance, and heard all the words clearly.

(Anling Imperial City, main hall)

"Ai Qing, what else do you want to play? If you have nothing to do, retreat." The majestic and resonant voice resounded through the hall, and An Ling Mingcheng was sitting majestically on the highest dragon chair, but his face was a little pale.

Anling Mingcheng got up early and insisted on going to court as usual, without delaying for a moment. Because of some things accumulated the day before, he had answered many ministers in the hall in succession, sweat slowly falling from his temples.

The ministers below, you look at me, I look at you, although it seems that there is nothing, but it seems that they don't want to leave, they are waiting for something.

"Your Majesty, I have one more matter, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Luo Shengchuan stood up again and said respectfully.

"If you have anything to say, you may as well speak up." An Ling Mingcheng Zhunzhuo.

"I'm afraid that if I say this, if others regard it as a rebellious party, then I will be really wronged, but if I don't say it, I'm afraid it will be hard to convince the public." Luo Shengchuan showed embarrassment.

"Lord Luo, it's okay to say, I forgive you for not being guilty." An Ling Mingcheng understood what Luo Shengchuan meant, and it was nothing more than telling himself not to blame him.

"Then forgive me for speaking bluntly." Luo Shengchuan showed an intriguing smile, "I heard that the emperor wants to pass the throne to the prince of Anling, so it must be understandable, and it also follows the hereditary system of our Anling country, but I don't know if the emperor has ever Have you heard other rumors from the people?"

"Master Luo might as well explain the matter clearly." An Ling Mingcheng knew that Luo Shengchuan was a kind person and would not come today.

"I don't know if the emperor still remembers the original emperor of our Anling imperial city, Anling Xuantian? If he hadn't voluntarily abdicated the throne back then, I'm afraid the current emperor is not you, right?" Luo Shengchuan said with a daunting tone. asked with evil spirit, he didn't have any fear.

The moment he heard Anling Xuantian's name, Anling Mingcheng's heart couldn't help but stop for a moment. How could he not remember his younger brother, how could he not remember the past that happened in those years, how could he not feel guilty about the choices he made back then "That's true. Everyone in the world knows about this, because Anling Xuantian is the orthodox blood of the royal family. He gave up the throne and appointed me to take on the heavy responsibility, but this has also been promised by the emperor." An Ling What Ling Mingcheng said was to admit the origin of his throne, and he didn't seem to feel that this matter needed to be concealed, because after all, he was not the queen's child, but was born to the imperial concubine in the harem.

In the capital of Anling, only the heirs of the emperor and empress can become princes. This is the rule of all dynasties in Anling, but Anling Mingcheng is an exception.

"Then it seems that Anling Yuhao can't even become a prince in terms of emotion and reason? But the emperor must not be angry. This is not just a rumor from the ministers, but the common people in the world seem to attach great importance to this." Luo Shengchuan With sharp words, he pushed the guilt away, "Anling Yuhao was indeed born of the emperor and the empress, but you are just an exception. It seems that this cannot continue, right?"

An Lingmingcheng never thought that Luo Shengchuan would come up with this reason. It seems that he really took great pains to overthrow himself, but let alone whether the people of the world care about these things, just mentioned these remarks in front of the ministers, The ministers couldn't help talking about it, and it seemed that questions were raised in an instant.

"What Lord Luo said is not unreasonable. I also admit that the matter of passing on the throne is too hasty, but Anling Xuantian has returned to the sky, who does the world need to take care of it?" Anling Mingcheng asked rhetorically, if according to his analysis It seems that only the heirs of Anling Xuantian can inherit the throne, so no one in the world can afford it.

"However, as far as I know, Anling Xuantian did leave an heir, and he is not much different from Anling's prince. I wonder if the emperor has heard of it?" Luo Shengchuan said in a firm tone.

"Anling Xuantian's child?" Anling Mingcheng asked in disbelief.

"Exactly. Could it be that the emperor really doesn't know the whereabouts of that child? It is said that he is alive and well in this world, or is it that the emperor deliberately concealed it from everyone?" Luo Shengchuan provocatively asked.

Anling Mingcheng was like a bolt from the blue, his expression stiffened instantly, not because of the succession to the throne, nor because of the struggle for power, thinking that he was indifferent to fame and fortune at the beginning, if it weren't for Anling Xuantian's begging, he would have even put the people of the world at risk. Regardless of threats, he was forced to become the emperor. Now that he was responsible for the destiny of the country, Anling Mingcheng decided to govern well and be a wise king in a prosperous age.

However, the moment Luo Shengchuan said that Anling Xuantian actually had an heir, his blood rushed to his brain, and because of his emotional excitement, his chest also felt a sharp pain like a puncture. children?Why did I not know it all these years?So Ling Han also doesn't know?Or is he hiding the child?Questions emerged one after another, and the person in front of him became somewhat blurred.

"Your Majesty! Send the imperial doctor quickly!" I just heard some people exclaiming, but I also felt that the voice was getting farther and farther away from me.

(Main Palace)

The ministers gathered outside the main palace silently and anxiously. They did not expect that the normally robust emperor would pass out on top of the hall, so none of the ministers dared to leave so easily, so they had to wait outside.

"Mingcheng, Mingcheng!" An Ruo looked at the pale Anling Mingcheng, and couldn't help shouting uncontrollably, "Midnight, why are you like this?"

"Originally, the elixir that day could only be a temporary relief, so that the emperor could recover in a short time. The energy of the body had been consumed, but it relapsed again so quickly. It seems that it must have suffered some extreme pain. stimulation." Ziye felt his pulse gently, with regret in his tone.

"It must be today's morning court, it must be that Luo Shengchuan." An Ruo's angry expression made people very strange.

"That's right, it's me." At some point, Luo Shengchuan had already appeared in front of them, and cast a disdainful glance at the comatose Anling Mingcheng, "It's because he's too weak, so who can blame him? A kind-hearted person always achieves success." It's no big deal." She had no scruples at all, and was almost so arrogant.

After finishing speaking, he slapped his hands lightly a few times, and the guards in the room immediately turned their swords towards An Ruo and Zi Ye, it turned out that they had already turned against each other.

"Luo Shengchuan, are you planning to rebel?" An Ruo reprimanded sharply.

"Don't tell me I'm a thief, Anling Kingdom needs people like me, I'm just what everyone expects." Luo Shengchuan showed an evil smile.

"Don't forget, Anling Yuhao still has military power, you'd better stop now, I can let Hao'er spare you the death penalty." An Ruo said calmly.

"Haha??" Slowly walked to An Ruo's side, almost touching An Ruo's ear, "Don't lie to yourself, do you think I don't know that An Ling Yuhao is missing?"

An Ruo couldn't help turning pale with shock, "Why do you know everything so well?" Thinking that he was able to find the Riyue Pavilion and also found out about Anling Yuhao's disappearance, there must be someone among them who was tipping the news.

"It seems that you and the emperor are really smart and confused for a while. You have such a dangerous person by your side, but you don't know it at all." Luo Shengchuan exuded an arrogant tone.

During the words, a person slowly came out from behind the curtain, and it was even more shocking to look at it.
