Sumino life

When the sun was high and Jinxie was finally tired and fell asleep beside the bed, His Royal Highness finally woke up.

Long You is not used to touching people, the first time he woke up he withdrew his hand, this action woke up Jinxie who had not long fallen asleep, and the good-tempered Mr. Jin quickly realized what happened at this time. Situation, the little irritability of being disturbed by others disappeared immediately, and when he revealed his face in the crook of his arms, his eyes were already clear.

"His Royal Highness, you're awake." The voice sounded a little sleepy, and Long You looked at the surrounding environment for a while before staring blankly at Jinxie next to the bed.

"Why are you?" Obviously, he did not expect to appear here in Jinxie, which was supposed to be in Lin'an. No, maybe it wasn't supposed to. After all, at the end of the year, the governor needs to return to Anyang to report on his duties.

"I'm also very curious, why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would appear outside Anyang City late at night, and..." Xu Shi had just woken up, and Jinxie realized that he had said something wrong.

The memory of last night slowly came back, Long You closed her eyes sadly, and tightly grasped the quilt on the bed with both hands.

Gone, gone.

The moment the palace gate was closed, Long You thought it was the worst thing that happened last night. There was a sudden change in the palace. He and the third emperor brother had been bloody side by side for several hours. They fought and negotiated fiercely from the palace. The years of tit-for-tat were all eliminated, and he didn't even count how long it had been since the brothers had been like this.

But at the gate of the palace, when the guard chased after him, the third brother pushed him out, using his own flesh and blood to fend off the group of guards who were poisoned with poison and madness, buying time for him to reorganize Anyang.

When he ran to the city gate with all his strength, the fourth brother who escorted his father and emperor to leave fell from the city wall and landed in front of him.

Xiao Si said: "Emperor...Prince Brother, Xiao Si...Little Si is incompetent, father...was...taken away by Jia...Jia Concubine."

Concubine Jia, Xiaoliu's concubine who died in the imperial garden, the only southwesterner in the harem.

Afterwards, Long You didn't speak any more, and lay motionless on the bed, with his eyes empty and looking at the top of his head.

Jinxie didn't know the current situation in Anyang, and was worried about letting Long You stay alone in the mansion. Fortunately, he brought some dry food with him when he came last night. Long You was not in the mood to eat. It was him, Jinxie, who would not starve to death.However, this clueless situation didn't last long. In the afternoon, the koi left by Jinxie arrived at Anyang Jin Mansion with a few followers.

When the door was pushed open, Jinxie knew that the koi had arrived. Through the door and the courtyard, the koi could be vaguely heard warning the followers, "No matter what you heard in Anyang City today, you are not allowed to talk about it. If it brings disaster, If you die, you die, don't implicate the adults."

With just one order, the attendants went to put away their things in an orderly manner, and the koi turned around and walked towards Jinxie's bedroom.The rush of footsteps should indicate that something important has happened.The people were still outside the door, but the koi's voice had already sounded: "My lord, something is wrong, and now everyone in Anyang City is spreading the word that His Royal Highness launched a palace change last night and bloodbathed the palace."

"..." Before Jinxie could respond, Long You on the bed had already sat up, staring at the koi with an angry face, "What did you say!"

!!!

It is already very rare that there is someone on the bed in his lord's room, even more so if it is a man, but when Koi recognized that the person wearing his lord's clothes on the bed was the prince, he knelt down inexplicably, "His Royal Highness."

"Repeat what you just said! Who initiated the palace change!"

Jinxie helplessly stepped forward to help the koi, and ordered: "Tell me all the news you heard in Anyang today."

With Jinxie's words, the anxiety in Jinli's heart was reduced a lot, and he replied truthfully: "Back to the prince, it is now rumored in Anyang City. Last night in Laba, His Highness the Prince used the cup as a signal to mobilize the guards in the palace to wash the palace with blood. Your Majesty! , the third prince, the fourth prince, the concubine Yun, the concubine Jia and the six princes, none of them survived, and most of the clan of the Yi Dynasty was also lost. It is also said that... the ministers discussed that they will go to the southeast soon to welcome the second prince back Jing ascended the throne."

Long You was silent for a while, then asked hoarsely, "Where is the Fifth Prince?"

Jinli replied: "The fifth prince seems to have been found in Lenggong, but I heard that he has lost his mind because he witnessed the death of Concubine Yun."

Concubine Yun is the concubine mother of the fifth prince, it is inhumane for a seven-year-old child to watch her concubine mother die.

Long You lifted the quilt and got off the ground, angrily about to go out, but Jinxie stopped him in time, "Where are you going!"

At this moment, the prince who has lost his mind and lost his mind can no longer find the aloof look he had when he looked at him coldly and disdainfully in the court hall a few months ago. At this moment, he is a flesh and blood man who lost his blood relatives overnight.

Long You broke free from Jinxie's shackles, and said loudly, "I'm going to kill her!"

Jinxie was on guard, how could Long You break free, and didn't care about any princes and ministers at this time, Jinxie held Long You's hand and asked, "She? Do you know who it is?"

At this moment, Long You has no sense at all, and naturally he has no precautions. As soon as Jin Xie asked him, he said it naturally, "Concubine Jia, Xu Mao, the defense camp and everyone around Xiao Liu."

Long You was still trying to break free from Jinxie's restraint, but the latter was impatient, and directly pushed him against the wall, shouting loudly: "Didn't you hear what Jinxi said? Bloodbath the palace, do you think what you said Is the person still alive? As for the defense camp, you are the prince, you should know where it is, there are not one or two people, and you can’t kill them all by rushing in with a sword! It is an army guarding Anyang City, I haven't investigated what happened last night, because you want to kill thousands of people in a moment of anger, is this what you should do as a prince?"

"Besides, you are the most suspicious object when you are outside. Once you show up, let alone revenge, it is reasonable to be sent to prison and strangled!"

Long You's mood was already on the verge of breaking down, but now that Jinxie yelled at him, his mood became even worse, staring at Jinxie with hatred, and said angrily: "Then tell me, what should the prince do?" !"

As a prince, Long You, apart from the emperor, probably no one dared to yell at him like that since he was a child. Now such a person appeared, and it happened to be Jinxie who treated him coldly a few months ago.This person's words are pearls, and every sentence is heart-wrenching, and he has no way to refute.

Jinxie breathed out, let go of Long You, helped him onto the bed and sat down, and said, "Your Highness, calm down. Instead of being obsessed with unrealistic things, it's better to think carefully about the causes and consequences of what happened last night."

After hearing Jinxie's words, Long You slowly calmed down. Jinxie poured him a glass of cold water, and then ordered Jinli: "You go to the street to inquire again, and see the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace and the second prince who is going to the southeast. The movements of the officials returning to Beijing."

Koi was silent for a moment, frankly speaking, he was worried that his lord would stay with this irritable and abnormal prince, but there was no way, who made his lord be so nosy.

"Yes."

As soon as Jinli left, there were only the two of them left in the room. Jinxie recalled what Jinli said just now, and asked, "Would your Highness tell us about the clues you have obtained so far? Why are you sure it was Concubine Jia?"

Among the people Long You mentioned when he was in a hurry, only Concubine Jia was the master, and the others were just palace people.

Long You took a sip of the water poured by Jinxie, it was cold, and said coldly, just like his current state of mind. "Last night, the incident happened suddenly. I asked Xiao Si to escort Father Huang to leave. Xiao Liu died in the Royal Garden on the spot. Aran... When the third brother arrived, the guards brought with him sent Xiao Wu away. The two of us Stay here, I gave the personal jade pendant to Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and ordered him to leave the palace from the small gate and find someone from the defense camp to come to the palace to rescue him."

"But after fighting for several hours, rescue never came. The third brother and I retreated to the palace gate while fighting. The third brother saw the clue before he came to the imperial garden. He went to investigate and then came back to help me. He Let me tell you that what was in the drink of the guards was Gu poison from the Southwest. In the entire palace, only Concubine Jia was from the Southwest, and Xiao Liu happened to die so coincidentally. Concubine Jia took away the royal father."

Although it was cruel, Jinxie still asked, "What about the third prince?"

"He..." The resolute and unrepentant face appeared in front of Long You's eyes when the palace door was closed. He was just outside the door, hearing the sharp knife cut into A Ran's flesh until he couldn't feel any sound, "He At the gate of the palace, close the palace gate with flesh and blood, resist the group of guards for me, buy time for me..."

Speaking of this, Long You's throat was choked up and he couldn't speak. The man didn't flick his tears easily. As the crown prince, he scolded and punished him many times. Even when his mother passed away, he never cried. He swallowed desperately, but now, he couldn't control it anymore.

Like this, Long You covered his face and cried bitterly in front of the people he used to dislike.

Jinxie didn't say anything, just sat quietly with Long You. After a while, Jinxie got up and put on a clean handkerchief, and Long You's mood had already adjusted.Without politeness and embarrassment, Long You took the handkerchief that Jinxie handed over, and wiped off what should not belong to him on his face.

Long You swore that this kind of sad and crying in the dark would never happen again.Wiping away her tears, Long You sat for a while before Jinxie asked: "This Gu poison has been passed down from generation to generation in Southwest China, but because every dynasty and generation has people who hate Gu insects, most of the vicious Gu insects have been destroyed. The Gu poison in the southwest is planted, and it needs to be triggered by a signal. The koi mentioned earlier that His Royal Highness threw a cup at the banquet?"

"That's right, I did drop my wine glass during the toast last night." Long You said.

Jinxie lowered her head in thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked: "His Highness must be a cautious person when looking at his words and deeds, why did he drop his glass at the banquet?"

This matter is related to an old matter, and Long You didn't hide it from him: "When I was young, the second emperor's younger brother climbed up a tree in the mother's harem while the servants were not paying attention, and later refused to come down because he was afraid. I picked him up, and since then Injured the wrist bone of the left hand, it was not the first time that something like dropping a cup happened last night."

Since it was the matter of the prince being in the queen's palace when he was young, there should not be many people who know about it. If it wasn't for that person who also knew about the prince's hand disease, how could he handle it so well? "May I ask Your Highness, how many people know about this old incident?"

Long You sneered and said: "Oh, except for the second emperor brother, everyone who knew about this matter died in the palace last night."

It's the second prince again, yes, judging from the current situation, the second prince is the one who benefits the most. Without the group of imperial disciples, plus the crown prince's responsibility, the throne must be in his second prince's pocket.

Seeing what Jinxie was thinking, Long You explained: "It can't be the second emperor's younger brother, he has no intention of taking the throne, so it's impossible to spend so much time...killing all the blood relatives."

Jinxie sighed in her heart and didn't say anything more.
