Emperor Longqing's will was quickly conveyed to the East Palace.

After the edict was read out by the edict, the crown prince seemed to have expected this result a long time ago. His face was slightly ashamed, but there was not much surprise. He kowtowed and took the edict from the edict, Send the internal officials away.

But Duan Wuji was not so calm, he seemed unable to believe what he heard, knelt on the ground next to the prince and snatched the imperial decree from him, fixed his eyes on the imperial decree, as if he was going to take the imperial decree Read the characters on it clearly one by one, for fear of misreading a word, missing a word, and misunderstanding the meaning of Emperor Longqing.

But after he read these short lines over and over again, his eyes gradually changed from confusion and doubt to unbelievable shock, he threw the imperial decree on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Impossible! This decree is false! How could the emperor let me go to Baiyue! This is absolutely impossible!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The crown prince gave Duan Wuji a hard look, stomped his feet and scolded in a low voice, "How could there be a fake imperial decree! Who wants to pass the imperial decree without thinking?"

Duan Wuji came to his senses, he couldn't care less about his manners at this moment, grabbed the prince's arm, and said excitedly: "Father, why did Grandpa Huang do this? He has always loved me so much, I am the grandson of the prince, How could he let me be a proton?"

The prince gritted his teeth and pushed Duan Wuji away, raised his hand and slapped Duan Wuji, pointing at Duan Wuji with trembling short fat fingers, "That's not because of your good deeds! I always thought you He is a prudent and successful child, so he seldom interferes with your actions, but you are lucky enough to do such a dishonorable scandal without telling me, and now you still have the face to ask why, Nizi!"

Duan Wuji was slapped, he was stunned for a moment, as if he was surprised that the crown prince would hit him with his hands, after recovering himself, he suddenly burst out laughing, looked at the crown prince mockingly while laughing, and said: "What did I do? Father, don’t you understand? I did all this to help you keep the crown prince! Over the years, King Lie’s wings have grown, and he is ambitious and coveted the throne. If I hadn’t planned behind you, Father, you would think that your crown prince How can I sit so securely? If I don't do these things, do I want to watch Lie Wang proud? When people are swordsmen and I are fish and meat, will I regret it?"

The prince blushed and said angrily: "Then you can't reach out to the harem, don't you know that your grandpa cherishes face the most? You used such a despicable method, and now your grandpa knows everything, how can you Forgive you! Just letting you go to Baiyue has saved our face, and you still don’t know how to repent!"

Duan Wuji retorted loudly: "If King Lie hadn't sent someone to assassinate me secretly, how could I have made such a bad plan? I was at fault for this matter, but is Duan Tingxu completely innocent?"

"What? King Lie sent someone to assassinate you?" The prince was taken aback for a moment, "When did it happen? Is what you said true or false?"

Duan Wuji stiffened his neck in disbelief, "Just this year when I went back to Beijing early for the spring hunting, I was chased by an assassin on the road. Duan Heng was there at that time, and there were also guards who escorted me back. If my father doesn't believe me, even You can ask them!"

The prince clapped his hands and said angrily: "Then why didn't you tell your grandpa about this at the time? Did you have to take the risk of taking revenge on King Lie? In the end, someone caught a mistake. Now, how can you blame him?" Who got it?"

Duan Wuji let out a sigh of relief, and said dejectedly: "If you didn't catch the assassin and leave him alive, there's no basis or proof. Even if you tell him, Grandpa Huang may not believe it, and maybe you will be bitten back by King Lie."

The prince sighed heavily, spread out his hands and shook them, "It's too late to say anything now, you and my father and son, you are missing a move, your skills are not as good as others, just accept your fate."

"You can't accept your fate!" Duan Wuji knelt at the prince's feet and grabbed the prince's sleeve, begging eagerly, "Father, please take me to see the emperor's grandfather, I will definitely make the emperor change his mind, I can't go to Bai Yue, if I go to Baiyue, King Lie will definitely treat you badly! If you let him ascend the throne, will there still be a way for our father and son to survive?"

The prince said in embarrassment: "But your grandpa has already made an order, don't you know his temper? How could he take back his order if he said the same thing?"

Duan Wuji narrowed his eyes dangerously, the light in his eyes intertwined with light and dark, he suddenly stood up, dragged the prince to the back room, and lowered his voice to the lowest, with a suppressed hatred in his tone, "Father, you The crown prince has been sitting for 30 years, and the emperor's grandfather is still in good health, so are you planning to be the crown prince for the rest of your life?"

The prince's face changed suddenly, he stared at Duan Wuji in surprise, his plump lips trembled slightly, "You, what do you mean?"

"Father, Grandpa Huang is old, and his ears are soft and easy to listen to the villain's slander. If I leave, you will have no one to help you. What should Grandpa Huang do if you listen to the slander and abolish your crown prince and replace you with Lie Wang? Rather than just sit and wait for death." , it would be better for us to strike first..." Duan Wuji did not say the last two words, but described them with his mouth.

But the prince still understood the two words Duan Wuji said at a glance - "force the palace".

The prince's obese body shook violently. He has always been a generous person. He feared and even respected Emperor Longqing, a strict father. He has never dared to do anything disobedient in more than 30 years as the prince. How dare he do such a thing as forcing the palace? Such a rebellious thing, I immediately shook my head and vetoed it: "No! You are trying to trap me in injustice. This throne belongs to your grandpa, and he can pass it to whoever he wants. If he really intends to change Li Lie Wang, at worst, I will leave the capital and take up residence, and your fifth uncle will not really kill them all."

When Duan Wuji heard the prince's words, he suddenly lost his temper. He clenched his fist and slammed the screen beside him, and said in a hateful voice: "Father! How can you be so pedantic? Since ancient times, how many brothers and sisters in the royal family have quarreled with each other, winners and losers You have forgotten the example of this? The emperor’s grandfather has been sitting on this dragon chair for more than 30 years, and he has been sitting there for a long time. The power to live in peace of mind does not require you to kill your father and king, can you stop being so foolish, loyal and filial!"

"You put it simply, this is a serious crime of treason! If you are not careful, you and my father and son will really die without a burial!" The prince waved his hands again and again, disapprovingly said, "You should go to Baiyue with peace of mind, or I don’t want you to stay there for the rest of your life. After all, your grandpa still loves you the most. After two or three years, when his anger subsides, he may let you come back. What you said just now is early. Rotten in the stomach, don't mention it again, don't mention it again."

After the prince finished speaking, he shook his body and left in a hurry.

Duan Wuji stood motionless for a long time, looking at his father's useless back, filled with resentment in his heart, after so many years of painstaking efforts, seeing that the world is about to be in his pocket, but he didn't even fight for it, he wanted him Bow down and forgive him——

Do, no, arrive.

-

After one night, some families were happy and some were sad, the East Palace was gloomy and misty, but Prince Xi's Mansion was very lively.

As soon as Bai Jinfu returned to the palace, Emperor Longqing's reward arrived. In addition to rare treasures, there were also many precious medicinal materials to nourish his body. Along with the reward team, there was also an imperial physician. The imperial physician helped Bai Jinfu apply medicine on the cut wrist to bandage the wound, and prescribed two blood-enriching prescriptions for people to boil the medicine, and carefully instructed the precautions for wound care several times.

In fact, the wound on Bai Jinfu's wrist was not deep, and the main artery was avoided during the cut. It was just a skin trauma, but seeing the cautious attitude of the imperial physician and servants, I don't know, I thought he suffered something Seriously injured.

Not only did Emperor Longqing give a reward, but after hearing that King Xi cut his wrists and took blood to use as medicine for Emperor Longqing, many officials, big and small, visited the door to express their condolences. The servants closed the door to thank the guests.

Not long after returning to the mansion, he heard the news that Emperor Longqing issued an imperial decree for Duan Wuji to go to Baiyue. At this juncture, he didn't want to be too high-profile to attract attention.

Bai Jinfu understands that with Duan Wuji's proud and conceited temperament, it is absolutely impossible to give up everything that has been planned with painstaking efforts over the years, and to become a protégé in disgrace. Duan Wuji will definitely try to make Emperor Longqing change his mind, so as long as Duan Wuji Ji didn't set off for a day, and if he fulfilled the title of proton, he couldn't take it lightly for a day.

Last night he knelt all night and bled a lot. Bai Jinfu really felt tired. After going back to his room and laying down, he closed his eyes and fell asleep not long after. This sleep lasted the whole day. When I woke up, it was already dark outside.

A servant came over to help Bai Jinfu get up, Bai Jinfu yawned casually, and asked, "What time is it outside?"

The servant said: "Back to Your Highness, it's already three quarters of Xu."

"It's so late? I've slept long enough." Bai Jin rubbed his neck, "When I was sleeping, did anyone come to see me?"

The servant thought about it, and told Bai Jinfu the names and identities of the visitors who came to visit during the day. They were all officials who came to show their hospitality, nothing special, so Bai Jinfu didn't take it seriously.

After changing clothes, I went to the outer room. The dinner was already set on the table. Bai Jinfu had no family. In the huge palace, he usually ate alone, not even a joking person. The candles were flickering and the room was silent. deserted.

As soon as he sat down, before he picked up his chopsticks, the servant beside him suddenly slapped his head and said: "By the way, Your Highness, the servant of the Marquis of Ning'an sent a letter during the day, and the little one almost forgot to hand it to you." You."

After speaking, he took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Jinfu with both hands. Bai Jinfu opened the envelope and took out the letter paper. On the paper was Jing Yu's handwriting. The corner door came in, and Bai Jin helped him until Shichen sent a boy to the corner door to help him open the door.

After Bai Jinfu read the letter, he immediately stood up. Jing Yu said in the letter that he would be here at Xushi, but now it was almost Haishi, and he was all to blame for sleeping so long that he missed the hour.

Bai Jinfu didn't even bother to take a bite, he picked up a lantern and hurried out of the room, ordering others not to follow, and strode towards the corner door alone, although he felt that almost two hours had passed Jing Yu probably left before anyone could arrive, but he still wanted to take a look in person.

Bai Jinfu thought in his heart, if Jing Yu had already left, then he would send someone to the Ning'an Hou Mansion to deliver a letter so that Jing Yu would not be worried.

After a cup of tea, he arrived at the corner door, Bai Jinfu took off the latch on the door, and just opened the door, he saw a tall figure standing there outside the door at a glance.

It was too dark outside to see who it was, so Bai Jinfu put his body against the door vigilantly and asked, "Who is outside?"

"It's me." It was Jing Yu's voice.

Bai Jinfu immediately opened the door, lifted the lantern, and the dim yellow candlelight flickered to illuminate the man's handsome features.

Jing Yu was dressed in black clothes, completely blending into the thick night, with the night chill all over his body, but the eyes he looked at Bai Jinfu were extremely gentle, and there was a kind of joy that finally waited for you.

I don't know if it's because of being outside for a long time and blowing too much wind, Jing Yu's voice is a little hoarse, and he said with a faint smile: "I thought no one would open the door for me tonight, and I was about to climb the wall to enter."
