It was the New Year, but such a major event as Yi Chu happened, and the government and the public were shocked for a while, and everyone was in an uproar.

The originally lively New Year seems to be getting more and more lively, the government and the public are discussing the matter of the prince - the prince Mu Jingluo has always been a perfect prince, he is excellent in martial arts and martial arts, he is extremely intelligent, his moral character is never bad, and he treats people with care. Approved by the courtiers, what is even more rare is that he is not close to women, never flirts, and has no bad habits. It can be said that he is a rare choice for the heir apparent.

In other words, almost everyone acquiesced in Mu Jingluo's next successor to the throne. It is absolutely impossible for anyone to think about the prince, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone to think that the emperor will be easy to save.

But the fact is that, on the night of New Year's Eve, Emperor Zhang Wu issued an order to depose the prince!

Everyone naturally wanted to know the reason why Emperor Zhang Wu deposed the prince, especially Empress Zhu and the prince's grandfather Wenchang Hou Zhu Shen. How could they be willing to watch Mu Jingluo be deposed after being the prince for more than ten years?How can you accept this fact?Even if the prince really killed the concubine Wu, in their view, Wu was just a woman. If the prince had enough reasons, it would be nothing to do it himself. How can it be said that deposing the prince is dethroning?

What's more, Empress Zhu only gave birth to one son, Mu Jingluo, who was also the only son of Emperor Zhang Wu. If Mu Jingluo was deposed, there would only be three other concubine princes who would inherit the throne next!How could Empress Zhu and Marquis Wenchang agree?

However, the answer given by Emperor Zhang Wu is - the prince loses virtue, has no king and no father, is rebellious and immoral, and the crime is unforgivable!

Everyone didn't know what happened to the crown prince Mu Jingluo and the emperor in the Yiqing Palace that day, so they were naturally unconvinced by this reason, especially the Marquis Wenchang and the princelings, who knelt outside the emperor's Yiqing Palace and begged the emperor Withdrawing her order, Empress Zhu dared not go to plead for orders against the law of "no political involvement in the harem", but she also threatened the emperor in disguise by refusing to eat or drink on the grounds of "falling ill".

On the third day of the first lunar month, the court was still very lively. Those who protect the crown prince were busy protecting the crown prince, those who opposed the crown prince were busy making trouble, and those who watched the excitement watched the excitement. Naturally, Mu Xianyi heard a lot of things in Zhen Guogong's mansion. the wind.

He is different from others, he wants to visit Mu Jingluo.

He got up early, wearing a double-breasted silver-white brocade gown with acacia patterns embroidered with red thread, a simple falling horse bun, decorated with long hairpins carved with silver phoenix flowers and the trimmed wings of rose crystal and lotus begonias. Yuluan rocked the hairpin step by step, with a red cloud-patterned flower tint on his forehead, he was born delicately, and usually dressed very delicately, but now dressed like this, he looks very gorgeous, with aggressive facial features sex.

Ling Xuetang was taken aback when she first saw him.

It really is the beauty of the country and the city. When she is delicate and cute, she is a 16-year-old girl, and when she is beautiful and noble, she is a gorgeous princess.

Mu Xianyi tilted his head slightly, and looked at him amusedly: "Why, the son-in-law doesn't recognize me?"

Ling Xuetang's ears turned red, she gave a fake cough, and said, "I've never seen a princess dressed so ostentatiously and beautifully."

"There's still a lot you don't know!" After Mu Xianyi finished speaking, he smiled and came over to hold his hand, "Let's go to the East Palace."

"Ah."

The husband and wife took the carriage to the East Palace together. At this time, the sun had already risen. Although the wind was bitterly cold, it didn't make people feel the biting cold.The usually bustling and gorgeous East Palace now has few gates, and the usually majestic building seems to be a bit desolate and desolate at this time.

The crown prince was deposed and imprisoned here, so there were guards from the Habayashi Army standing outside. The commander of the guards recognized both Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang, so they were not allowed to enter, but since both husband and wife knew each other, they had to sell favors , so he promised to let them in, but he had to come out quickly.

"I just came out after a few words with the prince brother...and Mu Jingluo. I'm fine. Thank you, General Zhao, for your accommodation." Mu Xianyi thanked the commander of the guards, and then went in.

Naturally, it wasn't the first time he came to the Eastern Palace, but it was the first time he saw such a lonely and desolate appearance in the Eastern Palace, and he couldn't help feeling the coldness of human feelings and the coldness of the world—how many days have passed?The prince lost power and was deposed, and the East Palace has become like this!

However, after thinking about it, I feel that it is very common - even if it is an ordinary family, there are people who follow the high and step down, let alone in the palace?In this place where people don't spit out their bones, these people only think about wealth and power, how can they have any sincerity?

Because Mu Jingluo likes elegance, so many trees and flowers are planted here, but now when the courtyard is deserted, these trees and flowers seem to be dense, cold and quiet, the sun is setting, the path paved with stones is mottled, and there is a trace of sound around Nothing, only the crisp sound of soft sheepskin boots stepping on fallen leaves when they walked.

In front was the room where Mu Jingluo was detained, and someone was in charge of it. The guard who accompanied them in said a few words before opening the door. Ling Xuetang accompanied him to the door. Mu Xianyi suddenly turned around and said:

"My son-in-law, I'll go in by myself, you wait for me outside."

Ling Xuetang didn't have anything to say to Mu Jingluo at first, but she was afraid that something would happen to Mu Xianyi going in alone, so she hesitated for a moment, and agreed: "Well, if there is anything, just call me."

"Okay." Mu Xianyi nodded to him, smiled, turned and went in.

The room was very dark. Of course, it was much better than the palace in Guan Muxianyi last time. After all, the room was still the room Mu Jingluo lived in before, but the window could not be opened, there was no spice, and no one cleaned it, so it was not as gorgeous. That's all.

Mu Jingluo sat on the Luohan couch under the window, looking at the thing in his hand with a glimmer of light, Mu Xianyi glanced at it, saw that it was a jade pendant, but couldn't see what it looked like.Mu Jingluo raised his head slowly, his formerly handsome face was haggard, his eyes were black and blue, his lips grew a beard, and he looked very scruffy. It's like two different people.He looked at Mu Xianyi, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he sneered and said, "You're here."

"Brother Prince is suffering, how did things come to this point?" Mu Xianyi looked disbelieving and heartbroken, covering his mouth and nose with his hand holding a handkerchief, his eyes were red, and he was about to roll down tears.

Mu Jingluo slowly put the jade pendant in his palm, buried his head and did not speak.

"Brother Prince, what happened between you and your father on the night of the [-]th..." Before Mu Xianyi could finish speaking, Mu Jingluo suddenly became angry, and sternly reprimanded:

"What are you still doing there?! Mu Xianyi, you evil ghost!"

His eyes were wide open with anger, bloodshot eyes wide open, the ray of sunlight outside the window shone obliquely between his brows and eyes, making him look like an evil ghost hiding in the dark, ferocious and terrifying.

Mu Xianyi stared fixedly at him, and in an instant, those pitiful eyes filled with tears turned into gloomy pride, and the corners of his bright red lips rose accordingly, and he smiled so brightly that he even burst out laughing. He said, "It's me, so what?"

He is so beautiful, and the silver-white long dress embroidered with red acacia makes him unparalleled, even standing in the dark, his proud and vigorous appearance is dazzling to the eye.

He stepped on thick soft sheepskin boots, and slowly approached Mu Jingluo: "You forced me, brother prince, you forced me..."

The room was silent.

He walked up to Mu Jingluo, his eyes drooped, and fell on Mu Jingluo's face, and said in a gentle voice: "It was the first time you wanted to kill me when you gave porridge in the Town God's Temple. At that time, the son-in-law found out that the assassin was from the palace. After training, I had a hunch that it wasn't Sheng Jin'an or the eldest princess, but no one wanted to kill me except them, I guessed you, but I didn't want to believe it, so I didn't investigate further."

When Mu Jingluo heard this, a sarcastic smile appeared on his ferocious face.

"When I was imprisoned in the palace, it was the second time you tried to kill me." Mu Xianyi said, with a bitter smile on his lips, "I guess, you didn't succeed the first time, and you already gave up. But Sheng Jin'an and Mu Huihua wanted to kill me, and I was imprisoned in the secluded palace. You found out that the opportunity came again—anyway, I was charged with murder, and if I died, I could pretend to commit suicide in fear of crime; If it is found out that he was murdered, it can also be blamed on Sheng Jin'an and Mu Huihua, don't you think so?"

Mu Jingluo didn't speak, but looked at him expressionlessly.

Mu Xianyi stretched out his hand and hooked the hair hanging from his ears behind his ears, and continued: "The third time you killed me, you poisoned me while I was in the cold. You are thinking, if you don't succeed the second time, I must have become suspicious." Now, instead of making me suspicious and revenge on you, it's better to poison me while I'm cold, right?"

Mu Jingluo still didn't speak, and looked at him silently, as if acquiescing to all this.

"Su Hongyao told me that the person who poisoned me was a master of medicine. He added a spice to the incense pills that Tan Yuanshan gave me, and this contradicted the medicinal properties of peaches and poisoned me." Mu Xianyi said, his eyes changed. He became gloomy and cold, his tone became slower, but his tone became more depressing, "Tan Yuanshan will not harm me, and there is no reason to harm me. It is Xu Siwu who wants to harm me!"

"He came to see the doctor with Tan Yuanshan, but he stayed away from me and refused to have more contact with me, because he was afraid that I would recognize him. He is the one you love!"

"Clap!"

The jade pendant in Mu Jingluo's hand suddenly fell on the small case, and Mu Jingluo was shocked like a deafening Buddhist gatha.There was finally a crack on his expressionless face. He looked at Mu Xianyi, his eyes bursting with resentment:

"You know, you really know, you really know!"

Mu Xianyi looked at him who was agitated, and smiled bitterly: "It's because of this that you want to kill me again and again, isn't it?"

"Yes!" Mu Jingluo admitted without hesitation, her voice was several degrees higher than before, and she pointed at Mu Xianyi excitedly, "It's all because you are too smart, it's all because you are too smart! You are so smart, Seeing the other sachets around my waist, and smelling something unusual, you will definitely notice it, you will definitely know that Siwu is the one I love, and if you know, the truth about my broken sleeve will be revealed by my father. You know, by then, everything will be over for me!"

After he finished speaking in one breath, his whole body was like a deflated skin, paralyzed there, panting heavily.

Looking at him, Mu Xianyi felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling—this man whom he regarded as his own brother, abandoned him without hesitation in front of his lover and wealth, and even thought that everything was wrong. My fault for being too smart!

He clenched his teeth, his chest heaved up and down, and he even took a few breaths. Then with red eyes, he squeezed out a sentence: "You are wrong, I don't know."

Mu Jingluo looked at him suddenly, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"It was because I knew that the incense pills were poisonous, so I suddenly remembered that the medicinal fragrance on Xu Siwu's little pillow was the same as the medicinal fragrance that you smelled on your body. Only then did I realize that the person who wanted to kill me was indeed you. The reason to kill me is because I might know your secret!"

Mu Jingluo's eyes turned red and her lips trembled.

Mu Xianyi didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "Three times in a row, I won't give you another chance to kill me!So I provoked Wu Mengyun, told her that you are a treasure in the golden house, and also told her that although I knew the news, I would not report to my father, because I still rely on you to ascend to the great treasure to protect me..." Mu Xianyi said At this point, he smiled coldly and triumphantly:

"Sure enough, she fell into the trap and chose to find an opportunity to kill Xu Siwu without hesitation. I guess it was because you ignored her too much. Because of your broken sleeve, you never wanted to touch her, and you didn't even want to do superficial work. The life of being a widow for many years tortured her like a bitter woman in the palace, so when she learned that you have someone you love, she chose to kill him without hesitation..."

Hearing this, Mu Jingluo seemed to be unable to hold back any longer. When he closed his eyes, tears rolled down his throat, and a voice whimpered in his throat: "But there's nothing wrong with Siwu...he's so simple, he doesn't want anything, he just wants Take my mother who is a concubine out of the sea of ​​suffering... If I hadn't pursued him and had a tryst with him, how could I have killed him?"

Mu Xianyi looked at him with mixed feelings in his heart, but he still smiled mockingly: "But what's wrong with Wu Mengyun? The first time I saw her, she was so gentle and virtuous, exactly like the sister-in-law of Brother Jingsheng's family, but Look, it's only been a few years, how has life tortured her?"

"Then why did you kill her?" Mu Jingluo opened his eyes and stared at him and asked.

"Didn't you kill the person yourself?!" Mu Xianyi was astonished.

The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly saw the truth in each other's eyes - in this matter, there was a third person involved!

At this moment, Mu Xianyi only felt the cold air around him, which made his hair stand on end, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was complicated: "Yes, there are still people—I just want Wu Mengyun to kill Xu Siwu, but there is no one." I want to kill Wu Mengyun and plant you... I understand, someone wants to pull you down from the position of prince, so take advantage of this opportunity, the oriole is behind, and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

He also said: "The reason why the father deposed you, and said that you have no father, no king, and rebelliousness, is because he knew about your broken sleeves, and also knew that you can't favor women at all. In order to cover up the scandal, so he used such words Charges, right? Perhaps, someone told the emperor through someone else's mouth about your broken sleeve. "

Mu Jingluo was enlightened at this time, his eyes froze, and he blurted out: "It's Mu Jingchen!"

When he was abolished, Mu Jingchen was the one with vested interests, and only Mu Jingchen could have such means and thoughts!

Mu Xianyi's expression froze, and he smiled wryly: "I thought "The Picture of Green Bamboo in the Rain" was a gift from my younger brother, but I didn't expect it to be the flattery of the evil wolf."

When things got to such an extent, Mu Xianyi also felt physically and mentally exhausted. He had no intention of participating in the battle for the throne, but he was still involved in it unintentionally, and he was even deeply involved in it and couldn't extricate himself.

The older brother who was gentle and doting, and the younger brother who was humble and elegant in the past seemed to have turned into evil spirits at this moment, circling around him and snatching food, making him breathless.

Perhaps the room is too stuffy.

Mu Xianyi didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and walked out. Just as he reached the door, he heard Mu Jingluo's voice behind him:

"Xuanxuan, if I say I regret it, will you forgive me?"

Mu Xianyi turned around and looked back at him, with a calm tone: "When you first tried to kill me, did you think about our brotherhood?"

After finishing speaking, no matter how stunned Mu Jingluo behind him was, he turned and went out.
