The shadows of the trees whirled, elongating a figure.

,

Just as Shi Ying was about to go back to her room, she unexpectedly bumped into Xiang He who was wearing a black cloak.

Her back was similar to her own, and she had paid special attention to it.

At noon, the maids and eunuchs were dozing off, but no one noticed.

Where is she going, why is she dressed like this?

Anxiety welled up in Shi Ying's heart, but she followed after all.

The sound of Zhao prison whipping, the stinging sound of the iron stamping on the skin, and the indistinct rape.

Luo Cheng sat cross-legged, waiting for the final judgment.

Just like this, he died here lifelessly, without even being able to touch the temperature of the sun.

His sin deserves his atonement.

"Hey, it's time to eat."

The jailer handed in the meatless food.

I heard that this person is still a high-ranking official, so he just said he came in.

squeak-

The mouse came smelling the scent, staring at the bowl of white rice with big round eyes.

Luo Cheng laughed,

"You can't eat this, you will die if you eat it."

He has been by Chu Yu's side for so many years, and he has already been familiar with her temper.

Cut the weeds and roots without leaving traces.

Taking the chopsticks, Luo Cheng held the chipped porcelain bowl, feeling extremely calm in his heart.

Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, Luo Cheng's wrist was hit by a stone.

wow-

The porcelain bowl shattered, and the food was scattered all over the floor.

The little mouse rushed forward with a creak, but Luo Cheng kicked it out with his feet.

"When did Mr. Ge be so kind?"

Chu Yan sneered.

Luo Cheng squatted down, picked up the food one by one,

"God has the virtue of good life, let alone you and me?"

"If you had half a heart of compassion, why did you press hard on my mother and concubine?"

Chu Yan threw the letter of remonstrance to his face, holding back his anger.

Luo Cheng unfolded the letter of advice, his wrist trembled violently, and his voice trembled like strings, "This, this letter of advice, why is it in your hands..."

Luo Cheng stared at his round eyes, full of disbelief, shouldn't it be at Chu Yu's place?

"I found this in my mother's concubine's belongings, and I discovered it by accident."

If this letter of remonstrance had appeared earlier, he would have gone all out with Luo Cheng long ago.

"Concubine Xian..., this old minister is ashamed of you..."

Luo Cheng held the book of remonstrance tightly in his hand, and knelt down on the ground with a plop in the direction of Chongming Hall.

Bent down, Luo Cheng burst into tears, recalling the past, "Back then, the former empress came to me and said that as long as I wrote this letter of remonstrance, the first emperor would take this opportunity to send the empress to Ganlu Temple to avoid this gust of wind." head, and bring her back to the palace."

Chu Yan was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he was about to kick him, but Xiao Che pulled him back tightly.

"You also believe what the poisonous woman said. Has the brain of you, the chief minister of the cabinet, been eaten by dogs?"

Luo Cheng was unmoved, no matter how hard he beat or scolded, he would not refute.

"I went to the first emperor, he knew about it."

Luo Cheng never doubted Empress Chen's intentions, but this matter was decided by the first emperor.

His killing intent completely chilled Shen Shu.

Chu Yan froze.

Before, he still had expectations of his father, wondering if the people below would be deceiving him.

But in reality, he slapped him hard.

A person who can kill his brother and usurp the throne is cold-blooded, so how can he be sincere?

"Archer, don't stop me this time, I will pull him out of the imperial mausoleum today, and he will be ashes!"

The concubine mother has never had the intention of harming others, and she will bear a bad name when she dies. How can he still have the face to stay in the imperial tomb safely.

Chu Yan struggled immediately.

His red eyes made Xiao Che think of himself who was out of control in the past.

"What will the people of the world think of you and Dasheng's royal family?"

Xiao Che refused to let go, the dignity of the royal family could not tolerate even a little desecration.

In the eyes of the people, the emperor is the son of heaven, representing the rule of God.

But once it was reported that the ruler was not the ruler, the minister was not the subject, and the father was not kind and the son was not filial, the aura of God disappeared instantly.

If there is no respect in the heart, the majesty of the Tian family will no longer have the deterrent effect, and rebellion is like a child's play.

Chu Yan snorted coldly, his eyes filled with coldness,

"People in the world, what do you have to do with me?"

He just wanted to seek justice for his mother and concubine!

"Your Majesty may wish to let me finish my speech first, and it will not be too late to go to the imperial mausoleum."

Luo Cheng collected his emotions and his eyes were clear.

Chu Yan stopped struggling, he wanted to see how Luo Cheng would defend himself.

Xiao Che let go at the right time, turned around and left, it was related to the secrets of the royal family, he shouldn't stay here.

The sleeve was pulled by someone, Xiao Che met his red eyes, like a soft and harmless little white rabbit, "Archer, don't go, don't leave me here alone, I'm afraid..."

Chu Yan nervously clenched his fingertips, fearing that Xiao Che would leave him.

"It's also about the Xiao family, so you can stay here too."

Luo Cheng sighed.

If the fate is really strange, maybe this is the destiny.

"At that time, Empress Chen was very powerful and stirred up the previous court against Concubine Xian. In order to protect you, she confessed all the unnecessary crimes in the letter of advice."

No wonder the concubine mother was careful, but she was still plotted by others. It turned out that it was Chen Ruyan who did it.

"Concubine Xian did not die from depression, but was poisoned to death. The first emperor severely silenced the imperial hospital, so this matter was suppressed."

He had been by Chu Yu's side for many years before he found out quietly.

"Who poisoned it?"

Chu Yan bit the tip of his tongue, the pain kept him awake.

"Chen Ruyan, a chronic poisoner, was finally found out by Imperial Physician Zhang."

Doctor Zhang?Chu Yan recalled carefully,

"Is it Zhang Boao?"

Luo Cheng nodded.

Zhang Boao's medical skills are superb, and he sits firmly at the head of the Imperial Hospital. For so many years, he has never revealed half of the truth to Chu Yan.

Seriously, damn it!

"After the empress died, she entrusted you to me, and it happened that Chu Yu used a letter of remonstrance to coerce me into using it for her."

Before Luo Cheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Yan,

"how is this possible!?"

He and Luo Cheng have been fighting each other secretly for several years, and now they are allies, what's going on?

"West Road Ting Shen Mansion, Dong Dao Ting Luo Mansion, it is not an exaggeration to say that your mother and concubine are childhood sweethearts."

At that time, the apricot blossoms were flying, and the late emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River. The two met and fell in love at first sight.

She desperately followed him back to the palace.

From then on, the young man in fresh clothes and angry horse put down his sword and rivers and lakes, and picked up the Four Books and Five Classics to obtain fame.

Just to be able to lean on her, to be closer.

"Since she is a childhood sweetheart, do you know the relationship between my concubine mother and Guigu?"

The Eight Desolation Order faintly made Chu Yan uneasy.

"Shen Shu was raised in a boudoir since she was a child, how could she have anything to do with Guigu?"

Luo Cheng was puzzled. He was only six years old when he met Shen Shu. At that time, Shen Shu was as soft as a dumpling.

Just a bit dull.

But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you can deal with people from Guigu.

Seeing this, Chu Yan stopped asking and motioned him to continue talking.

"I dealt with Chu Yu, and I tripped you everywhere on the surface, but you didn't dodge it once, otherwise Li Sinian's matter would be easily reversed?"

If he wanted to be serious, the dragon chair would have been replaced long ago.

"Do you dare to say that you did not inflict the poison in the imperial dining room?"

Chu Yan was suspicious.

"Why should I poison?"

Luo Cheng asked back.

Poisoning and killing Chu Yan, the government and the people are in turmoil, what good will it do him.

"Maybe we were going in the wrong direction at the beginning, and someone was deliberately confusing the public."

Xiao Che's mind was active, and he suddenly opened his eyes,

"Why did Mr. Ge send invitations to His Majesty?"

"It's Chu Yu."

He thought that if he was safe enough, he could lower Chu Yu's vigilance.

Sure enough, in this world, only the dead can make her feel at ease.

"That's it, a series of tricks, the imperial dining room was manipulated by Chu Yu."

Unexpectedly, women in the deep palace are so scheming.

With the help of Chu Yan to get rid of Luo Cheng and feed the southern star grass every day, Chu Yan will die of poison in two years.

"Heh, what a wicked heart, even if I die, it's not her turn to sit on the throne!"

"Dasheng seems to have had a female emperor before."

Xiao Che frowned. Could it be that Chu Yu wanted to imitate Xi He?

"Empress Xihe? Is she worthy too?"

As soon as Chu Yu was teased, Luo Cheng seemed particularly enthusiastic.

Chu Yan: Inexplicably, I feel that he is much more pleasing to the eye.

"Even if she wants to become the empress, she won't be in such a hurry to do it."

Xiao Che analyzed.

If Chu Yan is really poisonous, she will not escape suspicion, and the officials and nobles will not agree easily.

The only way is to find another young emperor as a transition between her overlapping powers.

Thus, truly grasp the power center of the previous dynasty.

"Recently, Zhang's family sent a message to the palace, probably related to this."

Luo Cheng's face was solemn, and he was afraid that she would really find someone to replace Chu Yan.

"The Zhang family? Is it the Zhang family who supported my Three Emperor Uncle's faction and demoted Shengjing a few years ago?"

Chu Yan had an impression, but they were in the Weinan area, so how could they have anything to do with Chu Yu?

"Zhang Can, a new candidate for the imperial examination, is from the Zhang family in Weinan."

Xiao Che added that he had already investigated the identities of all those who passed the examination.

"The most urgent thing is to find out what is the deal between the Zhang family and Chu Yu?"

Luo Cheng emphasized his tone, glanced at Xiao Che who had the same dark complexion, and continued, "The Xiao family has been a royalist faction since their ancestors, and now you are by His Majesty's side, and you have been named the emperor's teacher. Dasheng's country and society look forward to you. "

He could see that Xiao Che was a talented young man with unique views on political affairs.

If he can become Chu Yan's right-hand man, he can also go down to see Shen Shu with peace of mind.

It seems that Concubine Xian has long known that the Xiao family is the only minister of the Dasheng royal family, so she sent Chu Yan to Jinling to seek asylum.

But even if the family is full of loyalty, isn't it said that if you destroy the family, you will destroy the family?

"Do your best."

Xiao Che's tone was heavy, but he still complied.

Chu Yan's current situation is very difficult, and he can't stand by and watch.

With Xiao Che's guarantee, Luo Cheng relaxed and sat on the ground, in a state of exhaustion.

He could no longer suppress the throbbing pain in his chest, a mouthful of old blood sprayed on the wall, and a little bit of red plum blossomed out.

Xiao Che went up to take the pulse, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter,

"It's a poisonous arrow tree. It's often rubbed on utensils. If you touch it, you will die."

Seeing the poison that blocked the throat with blood, even the Immortal Da Luo couldn't save it.

Why do poisonous weeds that can grow in the desert appear in the Central Plains?

His eyes fell on the broken porcelain bowl, and Chu Yan's eyes were dark.

He was negligent just now, not noticing Luo Cheng's gradually purple lips.

Xiao Che withdrew his pulse-taking fingertips and shook his head at Chu Yan.

A person who wants to die is not worth his effort.

The person who was hit by the poisonous arrow tree was full of qi and blood. Although it was difficult to see the abnormality on the outside, his chest was extremely painful.

Luo Cheng had noticed it a long time ago, but he chose to hide it.

Grabbing Xiao Che's wrist violently, Luo Chengyuan opened his eyes and exhausted all his strength, "No matter what happens..., I must help protect you, Your Majesty."

The words are broken, and the breath is dead.

Luo Cheng's wrist hangs down weakly, and he didn't close his eyes until he died.

The head and assistant of the dignified cabinet, with power in the government and the public, spent half his life in trouble, but in the end he died in Zhao Prison.

Chu Yan bent down and closed his eyes for him,

"As you wish, I will not pursue Luo Mansion."

How could Chu Yan not know what Luo Cheng was thinking about exchanging himself for the lives of more than a hundred people in the Luo family.

A black shadow flashed past, Chu Yan stood up abruptly, and shouted, "Who!"
