The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

It was night, when Yan Fu saw that Princess Chunyi hadn't eaten, she took a bowl of clear porridge and comforted her: "Mother, you should have some porridge anyway, you haven't eaten lunch yet, don't hurt your body." She sighed sadly, "It's useless to worry about the third brother's matter."

Princess Chunyi shook her head and said, "I'm not worried, I'm sad. How could Zun'er do such a thing, how could he frame his own brother?"

Yan Fu carefully looked at Princess Chunyi's expression, and said, "Perhaps, perhaps the third brother has some unspeakable secrets..."

"If there is any unspeakable secret, if there is any dissatisfaction, you can't use this method!" Princess Chunyi was very distressed, "Fu'er, they are brothers! Both are my sons, and the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. What do you think my mother should do? Who should I turn to?"

Yan Fu opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, she could only say: "The third younger brother is currently on trial, if it is finally confirmed that he did it, then he..."

Princess Chunyi held back her tears and said: "It doesn't matter what official position is, but criminals who deceive the king will be executed! What should we do!"

"If..." Yan Fu paused, her voice lowered, "If the second younger brother is willing to go and beg the emperor for mercy, the emperor might not kill the third younger brother."

Princess Chunyi's heart moved, she stood up unconsciously, thought for a while and then sat down, "How can I talk to Xun'er? Is the grievance he has suffered these days all in vain?"

"Don't worry, I will go to ask the emperor for mercy tomorrow." Yan Xun walked in, looked at Princess Chunyi and said, "Mother, he is my younger brother after all."

Princess Chunyi was delighted that he was willing to intercede and save Yan Zun's life, but also felt ashamed of Yan Xun, she couldn't help crying: "Xun'er, mother is really sorry for you. When your brother comes back, mother will let him confess to you Yes, you can punish him however you want."

Yan Xun smiled noncommittally.

Princess Chunyi stroked his face tenderly, weeping uncontrollably.

The next day, Yan Xun went to see the emperor. The emperor had just suffered a huge blow and had no intention of pursuing these matters, so he agreed to Yan Xun's request.Yan Xun immediately went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to pick up Yan Zun.

The prison was damp and filled with a rotten and musty smell, Yan Xun followed the jailer with a burden.On both sides of the narrow corridor hung long lights, emitting a faint light.Walking to a cell at the end, the jailer who led the way opened the lock, stretched out his hand and pushed, and the cell door opened with a "clang".

The jailer respectfully said: "Please, General."

Yan Xun nodded and said, "Let's talk alone." The jailer immediately walked away.

Yan Zun lay on the straw mat and remained motionless.He was only wearing a white jacket, the sun was scorching outside, but the prison was dark and humid.Yan Xun frowned, untied the bag, took out a clean suit from inside and handed it to him, "Mother prepared it for you, put it on and go home with me."

The word "go home" seemed to evoke a kind of gentle memory for Yan Zun, his heart trembled slightly, but it was quickly replaced by deeper hatred.He didn't pick up the clothes, straightened up and sat upright, looked at each other coldly, and said: "There is no one else here, so why pretend to be a brother and friend? Brother."

Yan Xun shook off his clothes and put them on him, "The emperor said, don't pursue this matter any more, and don't mention it yourself in the future."

Yan Zun sized him up a few times, and said with a sneer: "The emperor will not pursue this matter anymore, it shouldn't be me who is happy, but you, right?"

"Naturally, I'm also happy for you. Bullying the emperor is a death penalty. Even for the sake of parents, I can't let you die. No matter what, we are all close relatives."

"Really?" Yan Zun sneered slightly, and said with a slanted look at him, "That's really nice to say, General Yan is really broad-minded, he repays grievances with kindness!"

Yan Xun said calmly: "Without this bit of generosity, I would have been pissed off."

"What are you so proud of, it's just a design to frame me!" He suddenly became furious, "I didn't know you let Qin Ran go, and you didn't steal your belt hook and put it in the dead body of Marquis Shen Gong!"

Under the dim and flickering candlelight, in the cold and silent prison, Yan Xun's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid to startle any soul here, "Yes, you really didn't. Because - I killed Shen Gonghou. "

After a long silence, Yan Zun's violent panting gradually subsided.His gaze was so sharp that he wished he could dig into Yan Xun's flesh, but his chest was throbbing with pain.

"What did you say?!"

The carriage stopped in front of Yan's mansion, Bai Yu got out of the carriage first, turned around to catch Wan Wan's hand, and Wan Wan jumped down with Bai Yu's support.Princess Chunyi was already waiting in front of the door, Bai Yu led Wan Wan and walked over, "The princess has been waiting for a long time."

Princess Chunyi shook her head and said with a smile: "No, I just came out." She stepped aside, "If your highness doesn't mind, come in and have a seat."

Naturally, Bai Yu was willing, and took Wan Wan to follow Princess Chunyi into the mansion.The mansion was a little too quiet, Bai Yu was a little suspicious, Princess Chunyi said knowingly: "They all went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to wait for Xun'er to bring Zun'er out, and they will send him to the ancestral grave later, so that he can live in the same place as the ancestors. Think before the tablet."

Bai Yu froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.Princess Chunyi sighed wearily, "I really can't bear to see Zun'er's current state, so I simply don't want to go. It's fine if I don't go, it's useless except to cry, and it makes everyone sad."

After entering the lobby and sitting down, Princess Chunyi ordered his servants to take Wan Wan to change clothes, and turned away the waiters around him.Bai Yu understood, and said, "The princess has something to say?"

Princess Chunyi looked sadly, "Actually, I have always liked Your Highness very much, and I even thought that if my son is determined to like men, then at least he must find a good one to spend his life with, and he can't mess around. If that person is His Highness, there seems to be nothing unacceptable."

Bai Yu smiled embarrassedly, but she didn't know which son Princess Chunyi was talking about.

Sure enough, Princess Chunyi said: "When Zun'er brought you back, I thought you liked each other. But when Xun'er came back, he told me that he fell in love with you. What's going on?"

Bai Yu nervously clutched the jade pendant around his waist subconsciously, and thought about it: "It's... very complicated. Yan Shilang did like me, but I only have Yan Xun in my heart from the beginning to the end. If this makes them two brothers It's my fault that I'm jealous."

Princess Chunyi was silent for a long time, and said softly: "No, it's not His Highness's fault, even if Zun'er is interested in you, you have no obligation to respond to him. Love in the world is not in control at all, if you and Xun'er have the same heart , then don’t leave any regrets for each other.”

Bai Yu was taken aback, and looked at Princess Chunyi in surprise.She continued: "Originally, I thought that at least one of my two sons must marry a wife and have children. But now that I have gone through all these things, I just want my children to be well and live happily Yes, that’s enough. They live their own lives. Can we parents control them for the rest of their lives? One day we will leave first. I hope that after I leave, they will have their true love by their side. The people who will accompany them instead of me. Everything else is not important."

There was an indescribable touch, and tears slowly welled up in my eyes.It turns out that this is the true heart of a mother who loves her son, he has never experienced it before, and now he is finally lucky enough to see it.

"Do you think I have such a good temper, that I can be framed by others, and even if I am put under house arrest?" Yan Xun's tone did not have the slightest warmth, "We have been brothers for so many years, don't you know your brother? "

Yan Zun frowned heavily, and suddenly understood something, "All of this was your plan from the beginning."

Yan Xun sneered softly, "Qin Ran has suffered enough, his wife and daughter are gone, he is the only one left, and Marquis Shen Gong is going to dig his wife's grave and imprison him in the mansion to humiliate him. How can I Can you bear it? How can you watch Shen Gonghou continue to live happily?"

He paused and added, "But I'm kind enough to give him a quick death without implicating his family."

Yan Zun stared at him firmly, "This is just the beginning, killing Shen Gonghou and avenging Qin Ran is not your ultimate goal at all, is it?"

Yan Xun smiled calmly, "That's natural. It's not just used in the art of war."

Yan Zun's chest was filled with distress, and he lost his voice: "This is why you hurt me? You don't feel guilty at all?!"

"Guilty?" Yan Xun raised his eyebrows and stared at him without hesitation, and said coldly against his anger, "Rong Ling, brother, let me ask you the truth. When you were in Liangzhou, you did not want King Liang Come here to find out the truth, all kinds of obstacles, is it really just because of jealousy, you don't want Liang Wang to get too close to me?"

Everything around seemed to be completely dead, and everything was silent without the slightest sound.Yan Zun's eyes jumped suddenly, and he said softly: "No."

"Just admit it." Yan Xun looked at him coldly, "Let me ask you again, the night I captured Liangzhou, did you listen to the masked man in black and go to kill Zhu Sha? You knew that What did she do to Bai Yu and his master? Knowing what she would do in the future, she actually let her live and let her continue to work for tigers. Why are you at ease?!"

There was a moment of hesitation, Yan Zun frowned and turned his face away without answering.

Yan Xun sighed, and said: "Before I didn't point out these things, I just wanted to give you a chance, and wait for you to turn around. Today, I have no choice but to resort to this trick, just to let you understand that if I really mean to Fighting with you, you may not be able to fight me. But why bother? We are brothers, even if we can't support each other, can't we live in peace?"

Yan Zun laughed dumbly, "Okay, okay, our Yan family is lucky to have such a powerful elder brother. No wonder you didn't let your father intervene in this matter, and you even told your generals to wait patiently. It turns out It’s such a big game of chess! Put it to death and survive? Yan Xun, you are so powerful, who can beat you?”
