His feet seemed to have grown in place, deeply embedded in the soil.

Ning Du kept telling him to copy Qi Jiansi's handwriting, and after writing for so many days, it is really three-point similar now.Lu Xiao clutched the note tightly, sweat dripped from his forehead into his collar, and flowed over his flesh.

What is his plan?

Lu Xiao hesitated three times, and when she raised her head, she met Ning Huai's gentle eyes, her lips twitched, as if she was calling his name.

"A Xiao."

The blade was ruthless, and with a flash of silver light, it plunged into the snow-white clothes.

When there was no time left, Ning Huai threw himself on Xie Shenxing's body, the blade pierced through his thin chest, and the exposed blade was hanging in the gap between him and Xie Shenxing's lapels.

He exerted so much force with this saber that his sleeve was windy and he couldn't take it back.

Ning Huai seemed to be nailed to the back of a knife, blood dripped from his plain white clothes, and the splashed blood dripped on Xie Shenyan's slightly parted lips.

Lu Xiao's tears rolled down, he opened his mouth to call Ning Huai's name, but what he uttered was a mournful cry.No one could see it more clearly than him. He saw Ning Huai call out "A Xiao" at last, and rushed out like a bird soaring in the sky. The corner of his clothes brushed against Xie Shenyan's waist. Also overcame the thorns and sent it forward.

The handle of the knife was still in Xie Shenyan's palm, Lu Xiao staggered and knelt down in front of Ning Huai, holding his hot palm.

The voice was swallowed by the crying, Lu Xiao's pupils dilated, and said indiscriminately: "I was wrong, I shouldn't hesitate, Xiao Huai, don't move around, I'll go to someone, I'll go to the imperial physician..."

"Ah Xiao," Ning Huai moved his fingers slightly, hooked his fingertips, and said softly, "You're so stupid, don't cry."

Balls of tears fell on the bloody clothes, and Lu Xiao couldn't stop trembling: "I won't cry, I won't cry, Qi Zhiyu... Qi Zhiyu, go to the imperial physician..."

"Do you still remember, when you went to Yunzhou, my elder brother Qi and I saw you off... What did I say to you?"

"Ah Xiao, don't forget me, and you are not allowed to have better friends..."

Lu Xiao shook her head desperately, sobbing: "No, no, you still pester me every day, go to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot spring with me, and go to the painting boat in Fengqi Lake to eat wine!"

Ning Huai's other hand rested on Xie Shenxing's waist, and his clear voice lost its brilliance and became a thin line, slowly saying: "Daddy did something wrong, you just forget it from the beginning, you have to teach everyone in the Ning Mansion to share the same crime Lun Chu, I am also surnamed Ning, if you do a lot of things that you shouldn't do, you can save your life..."

"Then this life should be paid to my cousin."

Xie Shenyan let go of the handle of the knife as if being burned by fire, fell to the ground, and said hoarsely: "Ning Huai, you plot against me!"

Originally, the back of his head was facing Xie Shenyan, and he could not move at all. At this moment, the corners of his lips slightly curled up: "... each other, each other. If you still insist on taking my cousin's life, then I will curse you... You will never be at ease .”

The road lost in the palace ten years ago was originally a net made by others, but because of this, he embarked on a road of no return.

A long time ago, Ning Huai never thought about living in the world.

The blood gradually dried up and condensed into a mottled crimson hard cloth, the rosy cheeks lost their blood color, and the five fingers tightly clenched in Lu Xiao's palm lost their strength until there was no trace of warmth anymore.

Ning Huai was originally a round and lovely boy, but at some point he lost a sharp chin.His smile dissipated, his upper eyelids drooped uncontrollably, and he suddenly realized that he hadn't said a word to the person in front of him.

So Ning Huai concentrated his attention, leaned into Xie Shenxing's ear, and said in an extremely soft voice.

"Cousin, I'm sorry. If, back then..."

If I had been more well-behaved back then and hadn't wandered around in the palace, would things have changed now?

If you could have found out earlier that I was lost, if...

The relationship between love is originally a mistake, and no one can regret it.

The statue was cracked, and the devout believer saw the dust and mud inside, and suddenly realized that the statue was just a layer of gold foil. No wonder he said, I can't get you through.

Most of the good things are not firm, and the colored clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is brittle.Seeing the collapse of the god statue, Xie Shenxing laughed suddenly. The blood on Ning Huai's chest splashed all over his body, and the joints of the upper bodies of the two were sticky and greasy. Huai whispered, "Xiao Huai, I found you."

The hand clasping Ning Huai's back was pulled harder, and the blade that pierced through the chest was sent forward an inch, and it pierced straight into Xie Shenxing's chest.

Xie Shenyan glared, got up like crazy, and roared: "I won't teach you to die together, it's impossible, it's impossible!"

Both legs of the old doctor who was holding on to the door frame were weak, and he asked tremblingly, "Master Qi, should we go in now?"

Qi Jiansi grabbed Lu Xiao's hands, pulled the man of Liushen Wuzhu up from the ground, and said quietly: "The imperial doctor is here."

"Ning Huai is still saved, right? He's still alive, right?" Lu Xiao asked as if grasping at straws, pinching Qi Jiansi's wrist.

Qi Jiansi couldn't bear it, and said softly, "Let the imperial doctor take a look first."

I can't even feel the faint breathing.

"Your Majesty, the Second Highness did not hurt your heart, the blade is slightly to the left, my lord..."

Xie Shenyan calmed down, stared blankly at a spot on the ground, and said, "Save! Why not! He wants to die with Ning Huai, there's no way!"

After saying that, sweet blood spewed out from his mouth.

Lu Xiao closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, it was clear.

The two of them have been able to come and go freely in the palace recently. When Lu Xiao stepped out of the palace gate with a corpse in her arms, the guards all around rushed forward one after another.The guards didn't dare to hurt him and Qi Jiansi, but they didn't let them go. In the stalemate between the two sides, a voice came from behind.

"Let them go."

Lu Xiao raised his eyes and said: "The enemy is the emperor, and the family feud has been exalted into national hatred. The name of the late emperor's throne is not correct, and although he keeps saying that he is different from the late emperor, everything he does seems to be from the past. The hands of the late emperor. My parents died under the hands of the late emperor, so naturally I have tasted the taste of hatred, but the late emperor died, Ge Zhongxi was captured by you, even if I feel dissatisfied with Xie Shenyan in my heart, this revenge has already been repaid There is a grievance and a debtor, so I don't want to pass on the hatred to others. As for Xie Shenyan, until now, he probably hasn't realized that he has gone crazy!"

"The commanding guard turned against the water, and half of the courtiers in the court turned their backs. Xie Shenyan took revenge. He also won the throne just like Emperor Yunkang back then! I once thought about who I am and how I can save the world. It is enough to care about the people around me. Even if the common people in the world want to be held in the hands of such a lunatic, what does it matter to me? Ning Huai died in front of me like this. Is it useful? You may have forgotten what I said, it sounds incredible, but now I want to try it!"

The cold body would never warm up again. Chang'an Street was bustling with people. Lu Xiao was holding a dead body. Before he could reach the street, the overwhelming howls and cries were like thunder.

When the crown prince came back, he entered the palace without stopping. Duke Ning had already been waiting outside the palace.He didn't get to see his noble nephew for the first time, but what caught his eyes was his youngest son, whom he loved so much, and his youngest son had already turned into a cold corpse.

People from Ning Mansion rushed forward and surrounded him in the center.Frost and snow covered her body, her soul returned to her place, Lu Xiao's hands and feet were cold, she let Ning Guogong question and scold her, her red eyes couldn't shed a single tear.

Chang'an commanded the guards stationed in the palace, and it seemed that he had already expected today's battle.The troops of the Ning Mansion's joint military department broke through the gate of the palace in one fell swoop, and left in the name of begging to see the prince.

Emperor Yunkang died suddenly, the execution of the rebellious official Xie Changlin that was originally planned to be executed in the downtown area was temporarily put on hold, but the execution ground has already been opened.The blood that should have been shed on the execution ground flowed back into the gloomy palace.The late emperor has not yet moved to the imperial mausoleum, if there is a remnant soul still there, he will laugh and thank Shen Yan and say it is sad.

Lu Xiao was dressed in plain clothes, and visited the first-rank officials in the imperial court overnight, and had her door closed three or four times. If she hadn't brought along the guards from the Qi residence, she would have been almost detained in other people's residences.

Cui Yu took him into the mansion distressedly, and when he heard that Emperor Yunkang had left such a secret edict, Cui Yu was startled, and sighed sadly: "Why did the late emperor hand over this mess to you, isn't it harmful!"

"It's hard to be a civil servant. If the battle for the throne comes to a stalemate, the generals will rule, and the one who wins the general will win the world. What's more, you are just a civil servant who serves in the imperial court. A few third-rank officials will come to you to slander the emperor and question you. The authenticity of this edict, you will be thrown into a place of eternal doom!"

Lu Xiao didn't know it, and this was why he insisted on waiting for the prince to come back.The prince has been in court for a few years, and with the influence of Ning Guogong, at least when swords meet, there will be soldiers by his side to help him, and what can he do as a small official, rushing out rashly is just to die.

It's just that he can't control so much now, Lu Xiaohong choked up her eyes and said: "The last edict was indeed entrusted to me by the late emperor himself, the regent is violent, today there is no Ning Huai and Ning Guifei, although the crown prince was rescued Now, I am still weak, if I let him control the government, I, I can't do it, I'm sorry, teacher."

Cui Yu patted his shrugging shoulders and comforted him: "Since it is a letter written by the late emperor, you have confidence in your heart. Don't be afraid, Xiaoer, no one wants to wade into the muddy water. The old man will go with you tomorrow to play the drums." , Kneeling in front of the government office for a day and a night. Old man, I can’t live for a few more years, if someone wants my life, this life will be left here waiting for someone to take it!"

The situation does not allow him to complain about himself, to hurt the spring and autumn, to be emotional and reasonable, to be public and private, to put it big, it is for the safety of the people, to put it in a small way, there is a thought that is constantly clamoring in the bottom of Lu Xiao's heart——

He couldn't teach Ning Huai to die for nothing.

Lu Xiao didn't dare to take out the secret letter rashly, and ran all night, except for Cui Yu, only Wei Xiang was willing to listen to him.Wei had a friendship with Qi Ce before, and for the sake of the Qi family, he was welcomed into the mansion.

When the battle for the throne was in full swing, most of the pure ministers thought they were blind and ignored them like the Qi family's ancestral instruction. When Qi Jiansi appeared in front of the Prime Minister's mansion because of this matter, Wei Xiang was a little surprised.

Before his death, the late emperor left a letter in his own hand to order the crown prince to ascend the throne. As soon as the words came out, Wei Xiang said in shock: "Master Xiaolu, don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Xiao didn't even blink her eyes: "It's an important matter for the government and the public, how dare the officials talk nonsense!"

Qi Jiansi paused for a moment, and calmly closed the distance with Wei Xiang: "Shibo, I have seen the secret letter with my own eyes, and it is indeed His Majesty's handwriting."

Wei Xiang fell down on the chair, now Xie Shenyan is holding Chang'an commander in his hand, and the commander surnamed Lu was brought out by Xue Jin, Duke Zhongxiao shut the door of the mansion tightly and ignored the matter, but the Ministry of War is tied to the Ning mansion. On the same boat, it will only take time to send letters to the soldiers of the states. If you are far away from the water but not close to the fire, you are at a disadvantage...

He frowned wearily: "Let the old man think again..."

The soldiers commanding the guards were much more capable than the shrimp soldiers and crab generals brought by Ning Guogong. This trip was only to rescue the crown prince.

Since Emperor Yunkang passed away, there has been no dynasty for ten days.Passing the memorial and entering the palace was nothing but nothing. Lu Xiao stood at the gate of the Chang'an government office for three days in a row. If a drumstick was broken, he would replace it with another one. Jing Zhaoyin saw the old ministers from the court and the late emperor's favored ministers coming together, enjoying good tea and water Entertaining, the heart is also bitter, why make things difficult for him, a little Jing Zhaoyin!

On the fourth day, the yamen servant opened the door of the mansion, only to see another person in front of the door.

Wei Xiang dressed in court clothes and sighed softly: "The left is just a black hat, and the attitude in the palace is chilling. After thinking about it, the old man took this life and made another toss."

Xie Shenyan can't hold on for long.

The late emperor needs someone to support the coffin at his burial, and since the crown prince has already appeared, it is impossible for him to take his turn anyway.Even if the prince wasn't by his side when the first emperor was seriously ill, if he were to spread it out and talk about it, he wouldn't be the one to take the reason.

Ning Huai stood up and received a fatal blow, but it was Xie Shenyan's back that was cut off.

The three major civil servants in the court all stood on the side of the prince. He failed to kill the prince that day. If he wants to ascend the throne in the future, he can only meet with soldiers.

Xie Shenyan has worked hard for more than [-] years, but it is a pity that God's will tricks people, what he wants is not obtained, and what he gets is not what he wants.

Qi Jiansi went to meet the prince alone.

Xie Shenxing woke up a long time ago, the flesh and blood wounds did not reach the heart veins, and the knife in the heart was even more missed.With a normal expression, he blew on the tea stem floating on the water: "I heard that you and Lu Xiao have been running for me these days."

The candle tears stuck to the base, and the fire was dim. Qi Jiansi said: "The situation is not clear, the palace is strictly guarded against death, and no news has been sent out. Your Highness needs to cheer up. It is hard to guarantee that there will be no hand-to-hand combat with the palace in the near future."

Xie Shenxing laughed: "It's ridiculous to toss and turn at night, I dare not close my eyes. Most of the time I am awake, I think more in my mind. Qi Zhiyu, do you think my life is worth it?" ?As you said, there must be a loss between me and the palace. Chang'an is the imperial capital, and the border is still safe, but the imperial city is in turmoil and bleeding.

Quiet, Qi Jiansi slowly tightened his five fingers, and said: "A minister should not interfere in internal affairs, and the minister has already exceeded the rules, so let's just say more today. It's like Mr. He from the Ministry of Punishment. Although greedy, but He is very good at knowing people. Another example is Mr. Xu from the household department. He has always watched people order food. If it can be stable and the government is in order, the people can live in peace."

"The Yushitai and the Jianyuan have never been dead, and they will not let the moths that endanger the country act. If the Xuanhua Palace is in power, he will definitely wipe out all the party members of the Ning faction. In this way, the stable layout of the court for many years will be destroyed. Being broken, rectifying and reshaping at least ten years, for anyone, these ten years are too much to spend."

There is also a steelyard in Loyalty to the King and Patriotism. From Qi Jiansi's point of view, he will only choose the person who is most suitable to control the court.

"So, Your Highness, have you considered it?"

Xie Shenxing stroked his forehead and said in a low voice, "Even if you don't make this trip, I have no other choice."

He was always the heir apparent appointed by the first emperor, sitting in such a coveted position, he couldn't help himself in many things.The blade pierced into his chest failed to make him jump out of reincarnation, the only remaining choice was this one.
