[Zhu Ning] For the sake of the country

It was midwinter, and the capital city was cold and windy. Because someone revealed the emperor's condition intentionally or unintentionally, the feudal princes arrived in Gyeonggi earlier than in previous years. The crown prince overlooked the capital city outside the palace city on the high wall of the Meridian Gate. The contiguous stretches of gorgeous pavilions are the mansions of the emperor’s relatives in Beijing. King Zheng was the first to arrive, and King Gu, King Liao, and King Han arrived in the capital by order in these two or three days. Hearing the elegant music from the beautiful buildings, smelling the fragrance of precious delicacies floating in, the mansions of the vassals are lined up, it is difficult to distinguish which mansion belongs to a certain corner, let alone see the vassals in the mansion They exhausted their extravagant pleasures, and finally, the prince went down the tower in a dull mood. The servant holding the lamp led the way for the prince, and there was heavy snow in the sky. It is falling into an unknown field, except for the pure color of white, no longer able to distinguish the way ahead, nor see the thorns and traps, just a bright lamp shining brightly, guided by it, chasing it without hesitation, even if there is an abyss ahead, at this moment There is no turning back.

The twelfth lunar month has entered after the heavy snowfall, and the palace attaches great importance to the New Year's Eve. It has started to prepare for various matters early. In addition to the daily palace lanterns, many lanterns have been added this year to decorate the Prince's East Palace. At the end of the year, the prince is still immersed in state affairs. Whenever it is late at night, when you take a look at the radiance of the palace, you will temporarily put aside the heavy memorial documents and let your mind wander in the many memories and hopes.

After New Year's Eve, the first day of the first lunar month in the 18th year of Hongzhi, before dawn, the emperor and the prince put on the clothes early in the morning, worshiped the heavens and the earth, and worshiped the ancestors from a distance. The gun salutes continued, and all the princes and nobles in Beijing with the surname Zhu, and all the important officials of the court entered the hall one after another according to their status and rank, and made the most solemn bowing ceremony to the emperor and the prince.The officials of ceremonies chanted the names and identities of each person one by one. In the hall, His Majesty Dan on the throne of the emperor, King Zheng, King Gu, King Liao, King Han, and King Ning were headed, followed by the rest of the royal descendants, followed by the cabinet ministers, and the six ministers. And all the officials in the court congratulated the emperor and the prince. Zhu Houzhao was sitting next to the emperor's throne on the left side. In front of him was the crown hanging from the crown. The five-color gemstones embroidered on the crown dangled in front of his eyes, blocking his sight. , I couldn’t see the faces of the people clearly, and I could only vaguely identify the coming person by their body shape. Amidst the voices of everyone shouting long live and thousand live, the new year began.

After the red tape during the day to save the dead, the emperor left the royal family surnamed Zhu to participate in the family banquet in the evening. The family banquet was held in the side hall of Fengtian Temple. There were a hundred people in the royal family in Beijing. In order to show that the Zhu surname was a family There were more than a dozen round table palace banquets, and everyone was seated according to their rank and relationship. The emperor and the prince specially invited the four kings to their table, "By the way, where is King Ning?" The most solemn dress in the daytime was replaced by the banquet uniform. The emperor wore a bright yellow dragon robe, which is undoubtedly the most honorable. When he spoke, everyone fell silent, "The minister is here!" Not far away, a loud and powerful voice replied, King Ning came to the front of the imperial court in a few steps, and knelt down on one knee to salute, "I don't know what the emperor has ordered?" King Ning's appearance is matched with a golden hair crown and glittering golden clothes, which is the most dazzling in the house, "Come, sit next to the prince, prince I always talk about what you and he did in Jiangnan, I really admire you."

As if a stone thrown into the water caused ripples, the crowd immediately murmured and looked at each other. King Ning stood up and smiled as if he hadn't seen it, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." The servant immediately placed the rosewood official chair Alright, set up the cups, plates, and ivory chopsticks, and wait for King Ning to take his seat. King Ning looked around at the table of the Supreme Being in the world, especially with King Zheng. Shi Shiran sat next to the prince, and gave the prince a slight nod.

The prince looked delighted, and specially filled a glass of imperial wine for King Ning, "Please, uncle."

"Thank you, Your Highness." King Ning's current strength and power are enough to compete with any one of these four kings, and he sat down with his head full of wine in his glass.

After eating the family banquet on the first day of the first lunar month, they received the usual rewards from the emperor. Two days later, several close vassals were invited to the palace for a banquet again. The banquet was held in the Prince’s East Palace. As the prince’s elders, everyone brought When the presents came, the prince sent people to take over the heavy brocade boxes one by one.

The sun was setting and the lanterns had just come on, and the East Palace was as bright as day. The emperor sat up, and the four kings and King Ning took their seats one by one, surrounding the crown prince.

"It's just a few of us brothers gathering together today, don't be restrained." The emperor was in a good mood, and the prince was also flushed, and he stood up directly to pour wine for the elders himself.

"Brother, you are too polite," King Han has been on the throne for the longest time, but he has the strongest personality, and he said cheerfully, "The prince has such ability when he is weak, and he will be able to do it under the nine springs in the future." Wake up laughing." If ** is alive, she must be surprised that the one who is in charge of the world now is not the line of the former emperor's eldest grandson.

King Zheng was the only one among the four kings who knew that the crown prince was assassinated in the south of the Yangtze River, and also knew some of King Ning's "contributions" in the south of the Yangtze River.

King Ning pretended he didn't hear anything, and picked up a piece of rotten winter bamboo shoots that his servant had bought for him with his chopsticks. This item was transported from Jiangsu and Zhejiang by express horses. It's delicious between the lips and teeth.

"King Ning, you have worked hard this year." The emperor opened his mouth and raised his wine glass. King Ning immediately got up, "The emperor has a high reputation. All the kings here are descendants of the Ming Dynasty Zhu, and they are also the pillars of the country. It is the ministers who share the country's worries. It's a matter of duty." King Ning looked around, all the kings had their own concerns, but their expressions were all unified, and they all smiled and expressed their loyalty.

"Well, that's right. Daming depends on all your blood relatives. Come on, Huzhao, today's family banquet, there are no outsiders. Come and respect all the elders one by one."

"Yes!" The crown prince got up from the emperor's side, and the servants at the side held up a pot of fine imperial wine over his head, and followed the crown prince to walk in front of King Zheng. King Zheng had a round head, big ears, and a pair of thick eyebrows. He looked like a rich man at first glance, "Uncle Emperor Please! Among all the kings, King Zheng is guarding the Central Plains, and he has made the most contribution to finance and taxation. I thank the uncle for his help." That guy Hao learned how to make waves even if there is nothing to do.

"Hahaha, the crown prince has won the award, it is the duty of the minister," the servant helped King Zheng to fill up the cup, and the king drank it boldly. Li was also sweating.

King Ning looked at the two playfully, thinking of the eyeliner and beauty trick that King Zheng had given to the prince earlier, he couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, picked up the wine glass, and found that the glass was empty, and the waiter hurriedly prepared another pot to serve. The royal wine was filled for him, and King Ning found that the wine was slightly different from before, and it was thicker. Since everything in the palace banquet was arranged by the emperor, he didn't think much about it.

The crown prince circled the table, King Gu, King Liao, and King Han had already drank one by one, and it was King Ning who was the last one to drink, "Uncle Huang..." Even King Han, who is as tall as he is, can recognize the uncle's call as just now. Calling himself is obviously different, he just thinks that the prince has drunk too much, and his voice is probably a little lazy and... coquettish.

"Uncle Emperor..." The crown prince called again, and King Ning blinked his eyes, watching the changes quietly, "Uncle Emperor has worked hard this year... This glass of wine is toast to you, please give me more advice when you are free." If you don't come into the palace to see me, I can't leave the palace either, the prince almost blurted out, and was startled by King Zheng's black face who got up and left the banquet for a while and passed behind King Ning, and his words stopped abruptly.

King Ning didn't care about others, "Hey, prince, why are you so out of touch?" King Ning deliberately shook his head slightly, "The prince is naturally talented, and he will never give up. It is an honor to assist the emperor and his highness." How to slander, King Ning sang enough gestures in front of others, deducing the loyalty of the virtuous king and ministers.

When the prince saw the person in his heart during the New Year, he was very excited, couldn't hide his laughter, and then quickly drank to cover it up. King Ning was wondering if the prince was praised by the emperor again, and he was in a good mood, so he also drank the prince's toast with a smile.

"King Ning, Houzhao is right. You have worked hard this year. Come, I will offer you a toast." The emperor deliberately gave King Ning enough face this year to show that he valued it. Anyway, with the power of King Ning, he will deal with the four kings His open and dark arrows are more than enough, and he is not worried about Mu Xiuyu Lin at all.

King Ning turned around and faced the emperor, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor drank half a glass. He was ill for a long time and was not suitable for drinking. This half glass is already a great favor. According to the etiquette in the palace, the emperor's toast should be drunk three times as much by the servants. The servant poured three glasses for him , King Ning drank one by one on his back, and buckled three bucket cups upside down. The prince stayed behind him, watching King Ning raise his glass calmly and gracefully. The belt is longer than the waist, and it also moves slightly with the owner's movements.

"Uncle Emperor," hearing the crown prince calling himself from behind, King Ning turned around and looked back at the crown prince, "These three cups are also my toasts to you." For the first time, the crown prince felt that a toast is also sacred, just like giving a glass of wine to a married couple.Before King Ning could open his mouth to make a statement, the prince had already drank a cup with his head up, and then the second cup, and continued to drink by himself without extravagant expectations. In front of the prince, there was a crisp sound of "ding", and the wine glasses collided with each other. The prince saw the gentle and stretched smile of the emperor's uncle, and the vivid eyes reflected the gorgeous and bright fireworks of the East Palace, just like meeting Jiangnan for the first time. Only then did Zhu Houzhao be convinced, In fact, I have already sunk at the beginning, so I started to chase.

Neither of them saw the eyes of the emperor on the throne.

"Ah, the prince has a lot of alcohol, let's compare it today," Gu Wang is not only a money fan, but also a veteran in the field of sensuality. This year, King Ning has robbed most of the limelight in the palace. He has to earn some money, so he hurriedly made jokes He picked up the jug and poured it directly into his mouth.

King Zheng took his seat and cheered with King Han and King Liao, "Good drinker, good drinker!" The emperor was also amused by them.

Everyone has their own thoughts at a family banquet, the most noble table of wine in the world is over, the vassal kings go out of the palace and go back to their homes, and tomorrow they will pay respects to their ancestors' temples according to the ancestral system. They must rush to the suburbs early in the morning. It is the duty of a minister to rest early, and at this delicate time, no one wants to be punished.

The mansion of noble relatives in the capital is very close to the imperial city. King Ning stepped out of the soft sedan chair and stepped into his mansion. Today’s imperial wine was long, and when he returned to his study, he felt that his feet were empty. He drank two cups of hangover soup before he could overwhelm the drowsiness drive away.

When Ye Zi and Chui Hua routinely came to return to their orders, King Ning was standing at the door of the study, refreshed by the wind, and he was still wearing the fancy dress he had just attended the banquet, wearing Qinghui in the moonlit night.

"According to the top-secret news from the palace, the emperor's condition is getting worse, and he collapsed from exhaustion after the banquet just now. The prince has rushed to attend to the sick." Ye Zi said briefly, King Ning smiled slyly while listening, and raised his hand Brushing over a potted green leaf on the corridor, "The more messy the better." He managed to dispel his tiredness, and walked down the stone steps at the door. He was in a good mood when he got the news, "Si Wang came to the capital this time with preparations." Come, the soldiers are causing trouble in the capital, and the people are full of complaints. If the emperor dies, they will definitely encircle and suppress the capital. When the crown prince ascends the throne, there will be no one who can be trusted in the court, so the military power will be handed over to the king. The king will stand still and wait and see what happens , the capital is in jeopardy, Zhu Houzhao has lost all his prestige in the sky, when the time comes, this king will use the soldiers of the emperor to destroy the vassals and help Zhu Houzhao ascend the throne." King Ning is in a good mood today.

Ye Zi and Chu Hua are unknown, "Isn't that helping the prince?"

"Wrong!" King Ning quickly turned around and looked back at the two people who were still kneeling in front of the steps, with a firm tone, "I'm helping myself," he pouted, his eyes showing full confidence and a little contempt for the prince , "Zhu Houzhao has no morals and no hope, and the court is divided into factions. He will not rule for a long time. At that time, I will hold the power. If the time permits, I can force him to abdicate." The night is so good today, and fireworks are lit in the direction of the palace , the thunderous rumbling sound overwhelmed King Ning's voice. Even if Jin Yiwei was secretly watching, King Ning was not afraid. Besides, who would come to spy on the vassal at random during the New Year's Eve, and he would tell his subordinates all the plans in his mind .

Ye Zi and Blowing Flower had already unveiled their black masks at this moment, and their faces were whitened with a cry of night clothes, "Ye Zi doesn't know, why don't you simply kill the prince. Why bother."

Chuihua's heart tightened, as expected of the prince's most trusted subordinate, Ye Zi dared to say that the prince was rebellious, questioning the strategy was unnecessary.

King Ning didn't care, as if he had planned this many times, he smiled lightly, and continued to show disdain for the prince, "It's not hard to win the world, but it's hard for the world to obey you. If I really poison the prince, Winning the world means that the name is not right and the words are not right," King Ning glanced at Ye Zi, "then the world will have the power to resist", Ye Zi realized that he asked such a stupid question, and quickly lowered his head, no longer looking at King Ning, " It's not difficult to eliminate these rebellious forces, but it's annoying, so why should I be called disloyal and unrighteous?"

Leaves and blowing flowers suddenly.

In short, the emperor's life is not long. Once he dies, the court will be in turmoil and the world will be in trouble. King Ning is expecting to hold his five fingers tightly, as if holding the power in the world.

The elegant music was withdrawn from the Qianqing Palace, and the feast in the Eastern Palace seemed to have passed a year ago. The crown prince was taking medicine in front of the emperor's bed, and the emperor barely finished drinking a bowl of medicine. He took a long breath and said to the crown prince, "You What do you think of King Ning?"

The prince was surprised, suppressing the astonishment in his heart, "Prince Ning is extremely intelligent, with him, my son, my son..."

The emperor sneered silently, "Prince Ning is extremely intelligent, but his mind is not pure. Would you like to emulate Grandma in the future?" Qing hero Bao Jiangshan.

"Father!" The prince grabbed his father's hand, "Last year, you ordered your ministers to go to the south of the Yangtze River to practice and inquire about the four kings. You sent King Ning to my side and used them closely to suppress the vassal kings. King Ning rescued me twice. I almost gave up my life in the south of the Yangtze River, my son only wanted to treat him with glory and wealth in the future..." The more he spoke, the lower his voice was, fearing that the hidden thoughts would be ruthlessly torn apart.

"Prosperity and wealth?" The emperor repeated the four ridiculous words, "Is he lacking in glory and wealth now? Do you think he is really loyal to you because he is close to you? Does he like your glory and wealth?"

King Ning has everything that the world admires, such as royal relatives, nobles and high salaries, glory and wealth, such a person who is loyal to state affairs is either a capable minister through the ages, or... the crown prince's state of self-deception has been ruthlessly exposed by the emperor.

"Do you think that your clumsy tricks can deceive the world?" The emperor sat upright and stared at the prince's eyes sternly. The prince frowned, and after his eyes returned to the top, he could only kneel in front of the couch and stare down at his lower clothes.

Jiangnan was attacked for the first time, and the mastermind behind the scenes was unknown. The emperor suspected that it was King Zheng, but if King Zheng wanted the prince's life, he would have succeeded through Li Feng's hands. The attack came to spy on King Ning's loyalty and whether someone really wanted his life in the dark, that time King Ning did not hesitate to save himself, and almost took his life afterwards, even after hearing all kinds of rumors about King Ning, the prince also chose to believe that King Ning towards oneself.

Today, the father directly pointed out his self-deception and reprimanded him heavily. King Ning's love is only because of this identity, not because of himself.

"I know that you are not his opponent yet, so I will save a hand for you," said the royal father who loves his son, "the royal wine that King Ning drank today contains the sleep-promoting and tranquilizing medicine prepared by the Imperial Hospital. I have already sent it to you." Jin Yiwei went to King Ning's mansion to collect all correspondence between King Ning and the Jiangxi feudal land, and the account books that he had intersected with officials in the capital. help you get him..."

The prince understood the meaning of the emperor's words, raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, not knowing how to answer the words. "Go on, I'm tired."

The prince left the Qianqing Palace in a daze. Parents and sons have far-reaching plans for this. This love is extremely heavy. There is no close relatives and warmth in the royal family. There are only suspicions, precautions, schemes, and conspiracy. Under the reverence of infinity, everyone kneels and kowtows in surrender, and how many human beings have to be sacrificed for these, and he blames himself in the gorgeous and infinite palace, but what about King Ning?Where's the uncle?Is Zhu Chenhao really plotting to take my country?No, I don't believe it. Uncle Huang is so kind to me, but why is Uncle Huang so close to me?It's definitely not the same reason as myself, that is... Zhu Houzhao felt extremely depressed when he thought of this, and another auspicious time came. He watched the fireworks rise into the sky, blooming brilliantly all over the sky, gritted his teeth and ran out of the palace in the night.

The night was frosty and cold, and the sky was starless. Jin Yiwei was ordered to blend into the night, and arrived at the destination after a few flyings.

The leader, Jin Yiwei, made a gesture to the three people behind him, and the three of them dispersed immediately, heading for different houses.Prince Ning's mansion is only a study room, dormitory and other important places, and the commander in charge went out in person today to supervise the important tasks. Ji Rong stood on the eaves not far from King Ning's bedroom, waiting for the result.

The guards of the palace noticed the movement, and when they were about to attack, they found that the opponent was wearing a flying fish suit, covered with a black cloth, with hidden weapons in his hands, and a terrifying silver light flowed in the dark night. If you go out, everyone avoids it. This is the personal defense force representing the royal family. Anyone who wants to stop it is treason.

King Ning also heard the extremely subtle sound of breaking wind in the dormitory, and he glanced sharply at the void, which happened to be where the Jin Yiwei passed by outside the window.

"My lord..." Zhu Qin knocked on the door outside the dormitory, "I will wait for you to wash up." This is a code word, King Ning has already bathed and changed into pajamas, and adjusted his breath on the bed to help heal old wounds.

"Come in!"

Zhu Qin has been with him for many years and has long been a confidant. After entering the dormitory, he closed the door and knelt down at King Ning's feet, "My lord, Jin Yiwei is in the mansion."

King Ning frowned, with a fierce look in his eyes.

The attendant was also taken aback, he had never seen the prince like this for many years.

"How many people are here?" Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are so powerful, are everyone at your mercy? King Ning's tone was not kind.

"Four of them. They went to the study, arsenal, guest room, and..."

"There is another one on top of his head." King Ning said by himself, only one candle was lit in the bedroom, and it was very dim, only half of King Ning's face was illuminated, and the other half was hidden in the darkness. Accessories, hair crowns, Zhu Qin looked at King Ning's unreal face full of anger.

"Yes." Zhu Qin lowered his head, "How should I deal with it? I also ask the lord to give orders so that brothers can carry it out." Jin Yiwei's background is too big, no one dares to face the edge directly, and a careless move will bring disaster to Prince Ning's mansion.

"I don't need you, I will go meet Ji Rong in person!" King Ning said heavily, his shoulders heaving, he quickly got up from the bed, put on the coat on the hanger with his gloves, pulled up a belt to fasten it, and pulled it out from the rack With a hair band, she tied her long hair at the back of her head, pushed the window out of her figure, took a few light steps, and stood in front of Ji Rong.

Ji Rong was still stretching his neck to see if the subordinate who was going to the study had sneaked into the room. He didn't expect that suddenly, a living person appeared in front of him, and he almost staggered and slipped and fell down. The eaves of Prince Ning's mansion were too oily It was slippery, like the brick floor of the imperial palace, he was about to yell, who would want to act wildly in front of Jin Yiwei, for so many years, he had only hugged his head and scared the urine to escape, and he had never seen anyone who dared to face himself in this flying fish suit.

Ji Rong took a closer look in the dark night, this person was clearly...but he didn't dare to admit it, King Ning was recognized as "extraordinarily beautiful" in court and in the field, whether it was the countless gossips that Jin Yiwei overheard in secret, or the one who went to the palace and went to the market. Talking, it is all admiration, and moreover, the emperor of this dynasty has never had a concubine since ancient times, the empress has passed away, the prince has not married again, and there is no beautiful woman in the harem to comment on. The number one beauty of the Ming Dynasty has been vacant for a long time, but the number one beautiful……

King Ning has always been well-dressed and personable. The one in front of me today, with white pajamas inside, is only wearing an outer robe, which cannot cover part of the collarbone and chest skin. There are a few strands of hair hanging around, no matter how you look at it, it is too... coquettish and... flirtatious.

Ji Rong saw King Ning's unkind expression clearly, shrank his neck, showing a rare timidity, at this time the thick clouds in the sky parted, and a crescent moon with thin eyebrows appeared, and with the faint light, King Ning glanced at it. The figure in the distance was over the wall of his mansion, "Ji Rong, why do you not go through the main entrance when you are a guest at night, and don't hand over the greeting card?" Ji Rong's tone sounded exactly like the emperor's demonstration, neither rush nor slow but hidden anger .

"Hey... the little one has met the prince, and the little one just made an excuse. The prince made it easier, so the little one went back to return to the task."

"Hmph," King Ning sneered, and Ji Rong was roaring in his heart, stop laughing, my lord, the more you laugh, the more terrifying you are, I'm still waiting to return to the palace to return to my life, before Ji Rong finished cursing, I slapped the wind He slashed at his face, Ji Rong, who had experienced many battles, instinctively dodged, and Kan Kan avoided the deadly vicious move.

King Ning's attack was even more ruthless, even Jin Yiwei was not allowed to enter and leave his mansion at will.Ji Rong fought back again and again, breaking off King Ning's attacks again and again. The two of them had gone through several moves in a flash. King Ning saw a flaw in Ji Rong, and raised his leg again to kick him in the stomach. Suddenly he felt exhausted, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell forward. Ji Rong clenched his fist with his right hand and pointed directly at King Ning's heart. King Ning instinctively closed his eyes and was powerless to avoid it. He had to take this heavy blow. Ji Rong noticed King Ning was strange, but it was too late to stop, and he felt that he was going to murder the prince to die. Another figure flashed in the night sky, pointing his toes, stretching his skill to the extreme, flying from ten steps away, and hugging King Ning The waist was too strong, and the two fell from the roof together. The person who came hugged King Ning tightly, spun in the air for a circle, barely landed, and staggered a few steps before standing still. At this moment, the time has come, and the fireworks are aligned from the direction of the palace. Qi ascended into the sky, thousands of flowers bloomed, lighting up the night sky, it was as bright as day in an instant, and everyone's faces and expressions were clearly illuminated.

"Uncle Emperor..." the crown prince called in a low voice, with inexplicable grievances, and he was still wearing the fancy clothes that he hadn't had time to change at the banquet just now.

King Ning broke free from the crown prince's restraint on his hands, "I've seen Your Highness." He straightened his clothes and didn't intend to salute, "What's the matter, I'm not negligent." Unexpectedly, he staggered again, and the prince grabbed his arm.Ji Rong is still on the roof, feeling lucky to have escaped.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?" King Ning couldn't use his strength to break free this time, his face was gloomy, not only because of his mood, but also because of the cold weather, "If there is something to do, we will talk about it in the palace tomorrow."

"Uncle Emperor..." The crown prince felt that there were countless pairs of eyes around him, and he was heartbroken, and he hugged the person in front of him into the dormitory, and Zhu Qin hurriedly withdrew.

King Ning's bedroom is cleaner than the prince imagined, but it is also meticulously decorated. Tables, beds, etc. are all precious wood, and the details are luxurious. This is the place where the emperor's uncle rests and lives every day. Warmth, the prince let go of King Ning, but kept a close distance, "Uncle... I don't believe those rumors." King Ning sat down on the bed, pinched his temples on both sides, "So, Your Highness sent Jin Yiwei to spy My palace?" The prince didn't approach for a while, but seeing that the candles on the table were about to burn out, he quickly lit a few more, and the room suddenly brightened up, and King Ning's cold and cold face regained its radiance and softness under the night.

"Uncle Huang has worked hard for the affairs of the country, let's have a good rest." The prince walked towards King Ning firmly, stood still, his figure cast a shadow in front of King Ning, "I believe Uncle Huang will not betray me,"

"So, Your Highness wants to search all over the palace while I'm exhausted, or how does Your Highness want me to prove my loyalty?" King Ning gritted his teeth, what a prince, you actually made a fuss about the wine toasted just now.

The prince bent down, looked straight at King Ning, and just repeated, "Uncle Huang, don't betray me."

King Ning didn't want to talk to him anymore, he stretched out his hand to push him away, but found that he didn't move at all, "His Royal Highness is getting better and better now, even the commander of Jin Yiwei doesn't need to inform the emperor, he can personally dispatch for you."

"Uncle, don't find me wrong." King Ning has been close to the prince this year, and has repeatedly resorted to scheming. He is kind and gentle to him. How could he be alienated, indifferent and hated at this time? The prince felt the great contrast and was annoyed for a while stand up.

"I don't dare..." King Ning forced himself not to fall asleep with strong willpower, but he couldn't withstand the effect of the soothing medicine, so he forced his eyelids, his vision was blurred and shaking, and even his own voice became weak.

The prince noticed King Ning's weakness, so he naturally sat on the side of the bed and looked carefully. The uncle's body slowly fell to him, and the prince instinctively supported him. King Ning's forehead was pressed against the prince's neck, and a few strands The hair rubbed against his face, the itch was the same as the feeling in his heart, but the prince was stiff and did not dare to move, "Uncle Emperor..." He called softly, patted King Ning's back with his hand, and heard a slight With a sound, like a promise, and the sound of the uncle's breathing, the prince felt that the part of his body that was in contact with the uncle was hot.

King Ning, who was wandering between sobriety and confusion, bit his lower lip tightly before regaining a little consciousness. He was surprised that the prince was hugging him, and quickly pushed him away. This movement exhausted all the strength in his body, and the prince sat still on the head of the bed. King Ning slid his hand across the prince's chest, and his upper body fell out of the bed due to his unsteady center of gravity.

The prince hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab it, but only caught half of King Ning's sleeve. The prince quickly stretched out his other hand, and dragged King Ning back to the bed, who was almost touching the ground with his face. The inertia caused King Ning to be directly pushed down by the prince. On the bed, the prince also pushed up on him. Because of the tugging just now, King Ning's clothes were disheveled. Taking advantage of this inertia, the prince fell down on the other side with his lips on purpose.With this touch, he tasted the marrow and tasted it, and could no longer resist this desperate temptation.

King Ning's eyes dimmed. Although his consciousness was blurred, his instincts were still there. He was robbed of his breath and swallowed the taste of aggression. This was an extremely strange feeling. He wanted to struggle hard, but he had no energy.

The prince's breath was completely messed up, this taste was too good, all the senses in his body were clamoring to continue, his identity, status, duties, and responsibilities were all abandoned, he realized that this was an excellent opportunity, the emperor had no power to resist, It is easy to get it, relying on King Ning's skill and status, he will never have such a weak, abusive, poignant and beautiful state in the future.Thinking of this, the prince clamped King Ning's wrist with one hand, and squeezed his jaw with the other, never ending the kiss.

Outside the house, three of Ji Rong's subordinates finished their mission and came to report back, "How is it?"

The three shook their heads.

Ji Rong gave a look, and the three of them left quickly. It seemed that there was only one possible place. Ji Rong looked at the dormitory and sighed helplessly, Prince, Prince, did you save me or cheated me.You can't stay here for long, or leave as soon as possible.

When the prince's breathing was not going well, he reluctantly let go of King Ning. King Ning came back from the suffocating pressure, his bright lips parted, he turned around with difficulty, curled up, because he was under the weight of the prince's body just now, At this moment, his chest was in severe pain, and he wanted to cough in embarrassment but couldn't make a sound. He could only tremble and breathe heavily.A head of long hair that was casually tied has long since fallen apart, a few strands stuck to her cheeks, and a few strands stuck to her wet lips...

The prince was feverish all over, and sitting beside King Ning, every time he looked at the emperor's uncle's face, he always felt that his facial features were flawless, and he didn't know whether to appreciate his eyes, nose bridge, or lips. Rubbing and tracing the perfect facial lines.Because of the lack of oxygen just now, King Ning's face was slightly flushed, and under the magnificent dim candlelight, his face looked even more charming.

The prince pulled off the rich and exquisitely embroidered curtain at the head of the bed, separating him from King Ning in this world.

This night was stolen, did the emperor wake up and didn't remember anything, the prince lightly pecked the mole on his chin.This night is very likely to be a dream. This dream is worth sleeping for a long time. If you trade your own life and the Great Ming Dynasty, you are willing to do so at this moment, without any regrets.The prince closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then he also lay down on his side and hugged King Ning tightly in his arms, "Zhu... Chenhao..." There is no status, no rank, no family, country, and world here. , no political tricks, no intrigues, just you and me, two pure people, together, nothing else.

Unlike the vassal kings who pursue luxury and enjoyment surrounded by beauties, the emperor's uncle's bed is narrower than he imagined, just enough for two people to squeeze together. The emperor's uncle's bed cover is soft and warm, and it is full of his smell. The prince smelled the long-lost The cold fragrance, like snow-capped pines and cypresses, like stalks after rain in June, he held the person in his arms tightly and breathed in this smell greedily.

King Ning's consciousness became dark from time to time, and he could only glimpse a vague figure in front of him in the intense pain, vaguely with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and the rest could not be distinguished. A hoarse remnant sound overflowed, the ears, temples, forehead, and neck were covered with cold sweat, the sharp black eyes like a falcon, and the bloodthirsty instinct like a beast, almost tore and devoured King Ning's body and soul in the dimness and darkness .

The anthurium candles in the room were gradually extinguished. In the darkness, it was no longer the scent that the prince was greedy for, but the smell of taboos mixed with traces of blood. The quilt covered the bodies of the two of them. After this night, what was meticulously guarded could never be pursued again, but what was obtained would never be let go, never let go, and I swear in the name of the future emperor.

The stars are dim, and the east will be bright. Today, the emperor leads civil and military officials to pay homage to the ancestral temple. The ceremony is grand. The ministers must gather in front of the Meridian Gate early and set off in battle. The capital is under martial law at this moment, and there are layers of guards on the road.

Zhu Qin came to the dormitory on time and whispered to the bed curtain, "My lord, it's time to change clothes."

The effect of King Ning's tranquilizing medicine had completely faded at this moment, and fragments of memories flooded his mind, and he frowned in pain and groaned.

"My lord?" Seeing that there was no movement, Zhu Qin shouted again, "I'll wait for my lord to change clothes."

The attendant raised the bed curtain, saw that King Ning was awake, but only half-opened his eyes, Zhu Qin didn't dare to think too much, and helped the prince up without seeing it, King Ning's upper body was not naked, his tentacles were burning hot, Zhu Qin was worried He said, "My lord, could it be that I have caught a cold, so I'm going to ask the imperial physician..." If the feudal king has an illness in Beijing, according to the etiquette, he would allow the imperial physician in the palace to diagnose and treat him as a show of respect.

King Ning had no strength, and endured the dizziness and pain for a lifetime, as if he had gritted a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "No need...to change clothes!" His voice was hoarse and breathy.

"Yes." Zhu Qin followed the etiquette of paying homage to the ancestral temple, and put on the inner sheet, the jacket, the ochre-coloured inner robe for King Ning, the outer soap-colored long gown, and the golden belt inlaid with white jade. Two five-color gemstones hang down to the knees, and when walking, they make a light sound of ringing jade. Then comb their long hair, put on a hair crown, and the bead chain made of delicate white pearls hanging from the ears has been dragging over the waist side.There was no trace of blood on King Ning's face, and his face was always sullen.After Zhu Qin put it on, he took a mirror to ask him to look at it. King Ning cast a glance at himself in the mirror, and then smashed the mirror on the ground, causing the carved floor tiles to shatter.

There is a dark red mottled mark on the neck of the person in the mirror, which is extremely glaring. It is the mark left by being eaten by someone last night. The prince sucked a mole on King Ning's neck madly and caused it.King Ning turned around and looked at the messy remnants on the bed. Someone's golden dragon hair crown was still left beside the pillow. His chest heaved and he clenched his fists fiercely. He took a few breaths, sat down on the chair and rubbed his forehead, and wiped off the cold sweat that was oozing, and ordered someone to fetch snow-white hair without a single mottled color, and wrap it around his neck without showing any traces. With his unhealed body, he gathered some strength again, got up and walked out, the carriage was ready outside the mansion, and he was going to arrive at the Meridian Gate before sunrise.

There was another team of people waiting outside the gate of the mansion for a long time. The leader was dressed in the same color as King Ning, but more luxurious, and the collar of the ochre-colored single coat was embroidered with bright yellow curly cloud patterns.
