Once a dead eunuch

The night was dark and the palace gates had long been closed. Lingchuan King Jing Bowen walked out of the palace of His Royal Highness Jing Baiyu, his eyes were in a trance without focus, and he staggered a little decadently, not knowing exactly where he was going.

Ling Yu chased after her and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has prepared a place for you to stay. Please come with your servant."

"No need." Jing Bowen shook his head, and said, "Just go to the place where Gu lived before, and it will be enough for one night."

"This..." Ling Yu hesitated, but finally lowered her head and said, "The servant girl will send you there, Your Majesty."

"I'll go by myself, you go back." Jing Bowen waved his hand.

Jing Bowen is the emperor's younger brother, and he used to live in the palace. Naturally, there is a palace where he rests. Although he has not lived in the palace for several years, the palace is still there, and no one else has lived there.It's just that there is no one around the palace, and it feels desolate and deserted when you look at it from a distance.

Jing Bowen walked all the way, his mind was in a mess, like a knotted hemp rope, and he couldn't straighten it out for a while.

"Your Majesty, please stay."

Suddenly there was a figure standing in front of him, and he saluted Jing Bowen respectfully.

Jing Bowen lacked interest, he raised his eyes to see that she was a court lady with a good looks, and he didn't know which palace she came from.

The maid said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, my mother invites you to come over."

"Niang Niang?" Jing Bowen was a little strange. In the middle of the night, the concubine of the imperial brother asked him to go over. If someone happened to bump into him, wouldn't it be impossible to wash himself up by jumping into the Yellow River?

"inconvenient."

Coincidentally, Jing Bowen was not in a very good mood, and his refusal was concise and to the point, without giving any face.

"Your Majesty, please stay!"

The palace maid caught up again, and said: "Your Majesty said, as long as you read this, you will definitely follow the servant girl."

Jing Bowen still couldn't lift his head, and glanced sideways at the things in the maid's hand.

But at this sight, Jing Bowen was shocked.

The maid held a pair of buckles in both hands, which looked exquisite and definitely worth a lot of money.The most important thing is that this buckle does not belong to anyone else, it belongs to the mastermind Meng Yunshen.

Back then, more than ten years ago, Meng Yunshen's buckle was once stolen by Princess Zhan, who mistakenly thought that the buckle belonged to Jing Bowen, King of Lingchuan, and ran to threaten and lure Meng Yunshen with that buckle. Jing Bowen.

If Li Changsheng and Jing Baiyu hadn't come forward to help at that time, I'm afraid it would have really caused an uproar and brought a lot of trouble.

What was placed in front of Jing Bowen now was another pair of belt buckles, which also belonged to the mastermind Meng Yunshen.

Meng Yunshen suddenly disappeared, but a pair of his belt buckles appeared.

Jing Bowen's expression became serious all of a sudden, he grabbed the maid's hands that were buckled up, and scolded, "You are Mrs. Lu's maid? Are you not? Where is Meng Yunshen at this time?! Tell me!"

The palace maid was startled, she almost knelt on the ground, and quickly said: "My lord, my mother is indeed Mrs. Lu. My mother said that if the king wants to see the owner of the buckle, please come with your servant."

"Gaba—"

It was the crisp sound of the bones all over Jing Bowen's body. He clenched his fists tightly, looking furious, but the hostage was in Mrs. Lu's hands, what could he do?

Right now, Meng Yunshen's comfort is the most important!

Jing Bowen said patiently, "Okay, I'll go with you, right now!"

"Yes, please come with me, Your Majesty." The maid said hastily.

The maid turned her eyes and looked around to make sure no one was following her, so she guided Jing Bowen to Mrs. Lu's palace quickly.

After they walked away, a person turned out from behind the rockery in the darkness.

The figure was vague and vague, and with the help of the dim moonlight, I could see a little clearly that it was Lu Qingzhou, the celebrity next to Prince Jing Baiyu.

Lu Qingzhou couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, but he didn't feel the slightest sense of relief.

"Master Lu, what's wrong?"

It turned out that there was another person behind the rockery, tall and in armor, he was undoubtedly General Dou Yanting.

Dou Yanting said: "I don't know how many times I sighed in one night, it looks like I'm ten years older."

Lu Qingzhou couldn't help but sighed again, and said: "Ms. Lu has always been my sister, now..."

Dou Yanting raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "I'm a stupid person, I don't know how to say words to comfort you. But don't worry, if you are sad, I can drink with you, let's get drunk and rest."

Lu Qingzhou was amused by him, turned his head and gave him a disdainful look, and said, "I'm drunk once? I've been drunk ten or eight times, and you can't get drunk once. I see you because I want to see me A joke, isn't it?"

"Of course not." Dou Yanting said, "I just..."

"Forget it." Lu Qingzhou waved his hand and said, "Madam Lu's people have already taken King Lingchuan away, and we should go back and report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Li."

"That's right." Dou Yanting said: "This matter is not trivial, fortunately everything is in Master Li's plan."

The maid was very cautious along the way, turning her head once after taking two steps, for fear that someone else would follow them.

Jing Bowen pursed his lips, his eyes were serious and serious, he didn't say much all the way, he didn't say a single word.

Jing Bowen followed the maids into Mrs. Lu's palace, and immediately other maids stepped forward and closed the palace door, and the guards were extremely strict.

"But King Lingchuan is here?"

There was a voice coming from inside, and following the sound of footsteps, someone came out from the inner hall soon, and it was undoubtedly Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu was smiling all over her face, she was already dressed up, she came out with a smile on her face, and said with a friendly face, "Your Majesty is welcome."

Jing Bowen's face was ugly, and he smiled at Mrs. Lu coldly, and said, "Since Mrs. Lu was cut off from the position of queen, she has become more and more ignorant of the rules. It's getting late now, why did you force me to come to you? Don't you Do you want to avoid suspicion?"

Don't look at Jing Bowen who likes to make jokes on weekdays, and is always not serious, but now when he speaks, he is still a good blow.

Mrs. Lu's smile gradually froze, and the expression on her face was a little distorted.But she needed to keep smiling, and said awkwardly: "The king always sits upright, so what can I do to avoid suspicion?"

"You're right." Jing Bowen let out a laugh, but it wasn't friendly.

Jing Bowen said: "I can walk upright and sit upright, at least a thousand times better than some people."

The first person who bears the brunt is Mrs. Lu, and everyone present probably knows this.

Mrs. Lu was smiling all over her face, and Jing Bowen ridiculed her twice in a row. She really couldn't keep her smile any longer, she swung her hand with her eyes wide open, and threw the incense burner next to her to the ground.

"Jing Bowen, don't be too arrogant! Don't you know that Meng Yunshen is in my hands right now!"

Jing Bowen sneered, and said, "Of course I know, so what? Meng Yunshen is just one of my counselors. Don't you think that if you pinch Meng Yunshen, you will be able to control loneliness in the palm of your hand?!"

"Everyone calm down, calm down, don't hurt your peace."

The atmosphere was stalemate, and the ladies in the palace were all arrogant and did not dare to take a breath, but someone came out with a smile.

Jing Bowen turned his head to look at the sound, his eyes narrowed twice quickly, and said in a low voice: "Kang Xiaquan..."

The man who came out of the inner hall was dressed in white, and his appearance was [-]% similar to that of Jing Baiyu. Who else could it be if it wasn't Kang Xiaquan?

Kang Xiaquan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we meet again."

Jing Bowen clenched his fists and said, "So it was you. Could it be because Meng Yunshen tied you up last time, so you held a grudge, and now you are revenge by tying Meng Yunshen up with an eye for an eye?"

Kang Xiaquan said: "My lord, you are joking, the villain is not dissatisfied with the lord and Meng Mouzhu, let alone revenge? It's just..."

When Kang Xiaquan said this, he paused for a while, with a pleasant smile on his face, and said: "The villain is just not worth it for the king, and he is not worth it for Mr. Meng."

Jing Bowen didn't answer, and Kang Xiaquan seemed to be singing a one-man show, but he sang in an orderly manner and kept talking non-stop.

Kang Xiaquan said again: "Meng Mouzhu has followed the king all his life, isn't he just hoping that the king will one day become the existence above tens of thousands of people? Just look at the present! The wish of the king and Meng Mouzhu is about to come true. If you don't Carefully miss this opportunity, I am afraid that the king and Meng Mouzhu will have a lifetime of hatred."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Jing Bowen said lightly.

Kang Xiaquan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a smart man. Your Majesty has already known that Jing Baiyu is not the emperor's own flesh and blood. He is not worthy of the throne at all. Looking at the entire Dajing, only you, Your Majesty, are the orthodox of the Dajing royal family." Bloodline, only you, the king, are worthy of sitting in this supreme position!"

"If I heard correctly," Jing Bowen squinted his eyes to look at Kang Xiaquan, and said, "You mean, you want to overthrow Jing Baiyu and help me ascend the throne?"

"Exactly!" Kang Xiaquan said very frankly without even stuttering.

"Joke!" Jing Bowen said with a sneer: "You think I don't know? You are Jing Baiyu's biological father, and you will give up your own son to help me, an irrelevant person?"

When Kang Xiaquan heard this, he smiled and said, "It turns out that the king is worried about this. Please rest assured, the king. Although the villain is Jing Baiyu's biological father, he hates Jing Baiyu to the bone. The villain is willing to kill his relatives righteously and assist the king to ascend to the throne. "

It is said that the royal family has no true feelings, and Jing Bowen understands this truth.But he did not expect that other than the royal family, other places are also like this.

Kang Xiaquan said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late today, why don't you ask Your Majesty to rest first and think about it. There is no rush for such a big matter. It's not impossible for Your Majesty to reply tomorrow morning."

Kang Xiaquan turned his head to Madam Lu, Madam Lu nodded slightly.

The two exchanged glances, and then a court lady came over respectfully and guided Jing Bowen to the side hall to rest.

Jing Bowen hesitated for a while, but finally followed the maid and walked to the gate of the side hall.

The palace maid pushed open the door of the palace, and instead of going in, she just invited Jing Bowen in.

There are only a few candle lamps lit here and there in the hall, and it is dim and shadowy.

Jing Bowen walked in cautiously, and then heard a slight sound of breathing.He immediately looked left and right, and at a glance, he saw a black figure lying on the floor of the side hall.

"Boom!"

The gate of the side hall was closed, the moonlight was blocked out, and the inside of the hall was even darker.

However, Jing Bowen could see clearly that the man on the ground was definitely Meng Yunshen!

"Meng Yunshen!"

"Yun Shen, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't scare me, wake up..."

Jing Bowen rushed forward quickly and picked Meng Yunshen up from the ground.

Meng Yunshen clearly looked like a gentle and elegant scholar, but he was tall and tall with broad shoulders. Jing Bowen wanted to help him up from the ground, but he was staggered for a while.

Amid Jing Bowen's flustered shouts, Meng Yunshen opened his eyes, smiled faintly, and said, "Your Majesty was too noisy, so I fell asleep."

"you……"

Jing Bowen froze on the spot, with a face full of disbelief, and said, "What did you say? He just... fell asleep just now?!"

Meng Yunshen nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, it's the middle of the night right now, and I'm bound hands and feet, and I can't even move. What else can I do if I don't sleep? Your Majesty, tell me."

"I……"

Jing Bowen was so angry that he almost couldn't lift it up, so he immediately let go of his hands, threw Meng Yunshen back to the ground, and said, "Meng Yunshen! You can still sleep!"

Meng Yunshen couldn't move his hands and feet, fell to the ground and was knocked hard. He snorted and said, "Your Majesty, what if Yun Shen's head is broken? Your Majesty can't afford it."

"I'll pay you a ghost!" Jing Bowen walked over, knelt down and pointed at Meng Yunshen's nose, and said, "Good Meng Yunshen, I don't worry about you for nothing!"

Meng Yunshen said with a smile: "It made the king worry, Yunshen is really a capital crime."

"Just know, die immediately!" Jing Bowen said with his eyes wide open.

Meng Yunshen laughed again, and said, "I'm just afraid that if Yunshen really dies like this, Your Majesty will follow suit."

"I'm looking for death?" Jing Bowen stammered angrily, "Did they beat you on the head after they arrested you? I don't think you are normal!"

Meng Yunshen said: "They arrested me and wanted to use me to threaten the king. I'm still very useful, so naturally they won't do anything to me."

Jing Bowen looked like he hated iron and steel, and said: "Aren't you the most cunning and slick?! How can you be so good that you can be caught by Mrs. Lu and Kang Xiaquan? You, you too..."

Meng Yunshen smiled and said nothing, just watched Jing Bowen scolding him all the time.

Jing Bowen talked for a long while, scolding dry mouth, and finally stopped for a moment, then met Meng Yunshen's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Jing Bowen felt a "thump" in his heart, and a thought flashed across his mind.He immediately moved closer to Meng Yunshen, and said, "You...you didn't get arrested on purpose, did you?"

Although he was asking a question, for some reason, he was extremely determined in his heart. Seeing Meng Yunshen's faint smile, he was even more determined.

Meng Yunshen sighed, and said: "Before... Yun Shen forced the king to do many things that the king did not want to do for himself. Now... it is time for Yun Shen to do something for you, the king."

"What do you mean, I don't understand why." Jing Bowen was at a loss.

Meng Yunshen couldn't help laughing, and said, "It doesn't matter my lord, with your ingenuity, your lord, it's normal that you don't understand..."

"Meng Yunshen! Are you asking for a beating?!"

Jing Bowen was so angry that he almost jumped up on the spot, and said: "You still dare to be arrogant and domineering now! Don't you know that you are tied up? Normally I can't beat you, I admit it, but now you can't move at all, you actually How dare you despise me? Look, I won’t break seven or eight of your ribs!”

Meng Yun said with a deep smile, "I'm afraid Your Majesty won't have the heart to do it."

……

"Mr. Meng, won't something happen to him?"

The inner hall was dark, only the moonlight sneaked in, and all the candle lamps had already been extinguished.

Jing Baiyu closed her eyes, but lacked sleepiness, she couldn't help opening her eyes, and turned her head to look at Li Changsheng next to her.

Li Changsheng didn't open his eyes, and he didn't seem to have really fallen asleep, but he just said lightly: "Xiaobai doesn't rest at this late hour, and he still thinks about the man next to him. Changsheng will be jealous."

"what are you talking about……"

Jing Baiyu raised his eyes and said, "I'm really worried, don't make fun of me."

"Don't worry." Li Changsheng said, "If they want to threaten Jing Bowen with Meng Yunshen, they won't hurt Meng Yunshen for the time being."

"Temporarily?" Jing Baiyu was even more worried after hearing this, and said, "Not temporarily?"

Li Changsheng said indifferently: "It's nothing if it's not for the time being. Anyway, Meng Yunshen was tied up voluntarily. He should have made complete psychological preparations."

Jing Baiyu sighed, looked at Li Changsheng with complicated eyes, and said, "You really did a lot of things behind my back."

"What?" Li Changsheng asked with a smile, "Does Xiaobai want to blame me?"

"I……"

Jing Baiyu was speechless for a while, and said: "You are all for me, if I blame you, I'm afraid I won't be able to forgive myself."

"Don't worry." Li Changsheng reached out and patted Jing Baiyu's back, and said soothingly, "Meng Yunshen is fine, at most he will suffer a little bit. Otherwise, how could Mrs. Lu and the others take the bait?"

Mrs. Lu and the others...

Li Changsheng did not speak too clearly, but Jing Baiyu understood in his heart.

this they...

Including Jing Baiyu's biological father, Kang Xiaquan.

Li Changsheng once thought that it would be better not to tell Jing Baiyu what Kang Xiaquan did.He didn't want to see Jing Baiyu sad, even shed tears for Kang Xiaquan, Kang Xiaquan was not worthy at all.

It's just that Li Changsheng felt again, if it was him instead, how could someone else take over for such a thing?Face it early and face it late, in short, you still have to face it.Out of respect for Jing Baiyu, it is also necessary to tell Jing Baiyu about the matter.

That's why just now, Li Changsheng has already told Jing Baiyu all about Kang Xiaquan.

Li Changsheng entrusted Yu Fengzhuo to inquire about Kang Xiaquan's whereabouts, and immediately discovered that Kang Xiaquan had come to the capital, and was taken into the palace secretly, so he hid in front of Mrs. Lu.

"Ugh--"

Jing Baiyu's heart stopped for no reason, and he sighed.

Li Changsheng leaned close to his ear, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Xiaobai, if you don't rest and keep thinking about the people around you, I will make you cry again."

Jing Baiyu sighed for half a breath, and when she heard Li Changsheng's words, she blushed and didn't dare to sigh again.

He quickly closed his eyes and said, "I...I'm so sleepy, I need to rest."

"Good boy." Li Changsheng said in a gentle voice, "Get some rest, we will go to the outskirts of the city to sacrifice in two days." When the time comes, it will be a good show...

Because of the matter of the emperor's birthday banquet, it once caused public discussion in the world, and the complaints were so overwhelming that it was difficult to calm down.

There is really no way, so the emperor thought of going to the outskirts of the city to worship the sky and the earth, and pray for the people of the world.At that time, the emperor will issue an edict of guilt, and pass it on to Prince Jing Baiyu.

This should be able to calm down some people in the world.

There are thousands of emperors who are unwilling to abdicate, but right now, there is no other way.The emperor is getting old, and his health is not good enough, and there are thousands of people who don't want to go to the outskirts of the city to worship, but they still can't think of other ways, so they have to bite the bullet and do it.

General Dou Yanting and General Ge Zhongnan are preparing for the defense work of the soldiers for this worship, and everything seems to be safe.

Jing Baiyu had already replaced the prince's service, which was much more complicated than usual.

Li Changsheng stood aside and watched, put one knee on the ground, bent down and carefully arranged the corners of his clothes, and said, "Xiaobai, don't be nervous, don't you still have me by your side?"

"Um……"

Jing Baiyu nodded and said, "Li Changsheng, I will not disappoint you."

Li Changchang stood up, kissed Jing Baiyu on the mouth, and said: "You have never disappointed me, and you have always done a good job."

Jing Baiyu was a little embarrassed, then grabbed Li Changsheng's hand, and said seriously: "You have to be careful, I'm afraid they will jump over the wall in a hurry, your martial arts are so bad, you must be careful, you know? But don't worry, I I will always watch over you and protect you."

"Heh—" Li Changsheng laughed in a low voice, and said, "Did Xiaobai complain about me?"

Jing Baiyu glanced at him, and said: "Your martial arts are very poor. Besides, at your age, it is impossible for you to learn martial arts again and catch up with me. You have to start practicing martial arts at the age of four or five." OK."

Jing Baiyu was complacent, after all, it was rare for him to do something better than Li Changsheng, which was something to be happy about.

Li Changsheng said: "Although my martial arts are indeed not as good as Xiaobai, has Xiaobai noticed that my physical strength has improved a lot recently?"

"Physical strength..." When Jing Baiyu heard it, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she said, "Why are you so unprincipled, I don't have time to joke with you."

"His Royal Highness."

General Dou Yanting said loudly outside the hall: "My humble general has made all the preparations, please show me your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay, let's go right away." Jing Baiyu said hastily.

The procession to go to the sacrificial offering was ready, and the emperor was supported, and got on the car first.

Because of what happened a while ago, the emperor was worried and fearful all day long, and his complexion, which had been improving, suddenly turned into nothing worse. He couldn't eat or sleep, and lost a lot of weight within a few days.

Looking at it, even if the emperor does not take the initiative to abdicate, it seems that he has not had much time.

After Jing Baiyu had rectified, Li Changsheng followed, walked out together, and then walked into Che Yu together.

Dou Yanting gave an order from the side, and the army officially set off.

The scene of this sacrificial ceremony was very grand, not only civil and military officials, but also concubines and concubines followed, and Mrs. Lu's Che Yu followed behind.

Mrs. Lu raised the curtain of the car lightly, took a look outside, and sure enough saw Jing Bowen, king of Lingchuan, riding a horse in front of her.

Mrs. Lu put a smile on the corner of her mouth, put the car curtain back, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, don't worry, the King of Lingchuan has already agreed to our conditions, and of course we will take good care of you, Mr. Meng. This is a win-win business for us. , After today, King Lingchuan has become the Ninth Five-Year King, Mr. Meng can also fulfill your greatest wish in this life, and become the most capable minister in front of the emperor!"

In Mrs. Lu's carriage, there are not only Mrs. Lu and Meng Yunshen, but also Kang Xiaquan who is dressed in white.

Kang Xiaquan said with a smile: "Yes, the villain also wants to congratulate you, empress. I have endured humiliation for so many years, and I finally look forward to the cloud and rain."

Madam Lu showed a smile, covered her lips with a veil, and said, "I just hope that I can spend the rest of my life in peace, and I don't really want anything extravagant."

Meng Yunshen was still bound hands and feet, he seemed to be asleep while sitting in the car, he didn't open his eyes, and he didn't answer Madam Lu and Kang Xiaquan's words.

Mrs. Lu and Kang Xiaquan used Meng Yunshen to threaten Jing Bowen, saying that they wholeheartedly helped Jing Bowen ascend the throne, and they had no private letter.But these things sit down, Mrs. Lu and Kang Xiaquan, which one is not for yourself?

Kang Xiaquan not only wants to take revenge on Jing Baiyu, but naturally also wants to get back his lost glory and wealth.He had already forced Jing Bowen to agree. If Jing Bowen really became emperor, Kang Xiaquan didn't ask to be a prime minister, but only asked to be a general and control the capital.

And Mrs. Lu had already planned a way out for herself, and asked Jing Bowen to promise her the status of queen as soon as she opened her mouth.

Mrs. Lu is the current emperor's woman. She used to sit on the throne of the queen for several years. For this position, Mrs. Lu has a deep obsession.

The younger brother ascended the throne, but wanted to marry his elder brother's woman as the queen. If this happened, it would probably attract protests from the officials and discussions from the common people.

But Mrs. Lu insisted on this. After all, such absurd things had happened in history. She was neither the first nor the second.She only knew that what she had lost would be taken back immediately.

Madam Lu and Kang Xiaquan both had smiles on the corners of their mouths and brows on their brows, and their eyes were faintly shining. Under the sway of the carriage, their thoughts were gradually shaken to the distance.

Meng Yunshen did not open his eyes, but he did not fall asleep. He could hear Madam Lu and Kang Xiaquan's words clearly.

Meng Yunshen let out a silent laugh...

The large army went all the way to the outskirts of the city, and the place of worship had already been prepared.

This journey is not too far, but the emperor is exhausted to death.

When he got to the place, the emperor could no longer walk on his own, but was carried out of the chariot by a group of guards, his whole body seemed to have been bone-shattered.

"Prince doctor, call the doctor here!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you all right?"

"Why isn't the doctor here yet?"

Li Changsheng heard the voice, stepped out of the car and turned to look.I saw Madam Lu shouting anxiously, beckoning people to send the emperor to the room where he was staying, and then calling the imperial physician to come.

Jing Baiyu also walked out of the car, watching the scene with a cold face.

Li Changsheng said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, please be safe."

"Yes." Jing Baiyu nodded.

Li Changsheng said again: "Now we just need to watch those people's performance quietly, and let them enjoy themselves."

Jing Bowen got off his horse and looked in the direction of Li Changsheng and Jing Baiyu from a distance.

Li Changsheng seemed to have a back eye, and when he turned his head, he met Jing Bowen's eyes.

With a faint smile on the corner of Li Changsheng's mouth, he nodded slightly to Jing Bowen.

Jing Bowen clenched the horsewhip in his hand, and he didn't look as calm as Li Changsheng. In such a cold weather, his palms were still sweating.

"Your Majesty..."

A little maid ran over and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please go to His Majesty's side."

"I see, let's go now." Jing Bowen nodded and agreed without any resistance.

The little maid came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and soon disappeared.

Jing Bowen looked back vigilantly, making sure that no one was following him, and then walked quickly towards Li Changsheng.

"Madam Lu told me to go over to the emperor's side."

Jing Bowen spoke concisely and said, "What should we do now?"

Li Changsheng said: "As long as you do what Mrs. Lu wants, it will ensure Mr. Meng's safety."

Jing Bowen was a little worried, and said: "I guess... Mrs. Lu and Kang Xiaquan are probably going to have a showdown with the emperor at this juncture! If so, then..."

After a while of sacrificial activities, the emperor will announce his abdication and pass the throne to Prince Jing Baiyu.If at this juncture, the emperor finds out that the prince is not his own, he might amend the edict and pass the throne to his younger brother Jing Bowen.

Li Changsheng said with a smile: "Just do what Madam Lu wants. The most important thing for Your Majesty now is to gain Madam Lu's trust. Only in this way can Changsheng continue to play chess."

"Alright," Jing Bowen said anxiously, "Anyway, the worst outcome is that I really ascend to the throne."

Li Changsheng was amused by him, and said: "In the eyes of the king, this is actually the worst outcome? Others are eager to be emperor, but the king regards it as dung."

Jing Bowen said: "Even if I can ascend the throne, so what? Ascending the throne is not the end, and more troubles will follow. I don't want to be threatened by Mrs. Lu and Kang Xiaquan to become the puppet emperor. That's not what I want."

Li Changsheng watched Jing Bowen leave, and couldn't help laughing.

Jing Baiyu walked over from a distance and said, "Everything has been arranged, why are you standing here giggling?"

"Xiaolingchuan King." Li Changsheng said.

Jing Baiyu looked up, and sure enough, he saw Jing Bowen's back going away, and said, "Little uncle is here?"

"En." Li Changsheng said: "I didn't expect King Lingchuan to be the most chic and transparent person."

Jing Bowen took the time to communicate with Li Changsheng, and then hurried to the place where the emperor was sleeping, for fear that if he was a little late, Mrs. Lu and the others would chop Meng Yunshen down.

When Jing Bowen entered, he saw Mrs. Lu waiting beside the emperor's couch. Other than that, he didn't see Kang Xiaquan, nor Meng Yunshen.

Jing Bowen walked in calmly, and said, "How is the emperor's health? What did the imperial physician say?"

The emperor was lying sickly, seeing Jing Bowen, he didn't have the energy to speak, he just waved his hands and did nothing but answer.

Mrs. Lu took the handkerchief, pretended to wipe her tears, and said, "Your Majesty, your body, alas..."

The emperor had something to say, but he lacked strength and took a few breaths.

Mrs. Lu hurriedly approached, and said, "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

"Go... go and call the prince here." The emperor said weakly: "Go... and bring Zhen's imperial edict again."

"His Majesty!"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she suddenly burst into tears with a "wow".

The emperor was already feeling uncomfortable, but when he heard Mrs. Lu crying, he felt the pain in his head, and said, "Why are you crying! Hurry up and call the prince..."

"Prince...Prince..."

Why is Mrs. Lu willing to find the crown prince Jing Baiyu, but she cried even more fiercely, as if the crown prince had already lost his life.

The emperor was crying inexplicably, and said: "What are you doing? Why don't you do it according to my will, don't you want to rebel?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood." Mrs. Lu quickly said: "Your Majesty... Although the concubine is not the prince's biological mother, she has taken care of the prince for 18 years, and her affection for the prince is no less than that of the prince's biological mother. This matter... as the prince My mother, I didn't want to tell His Majesty at first, but...but I really can't bear to let His Majesty be kept in the dark, so I don't know."

"What are you talking about?" The emperor was even more confused.

Jing Bowen stood aside, watching Mrs. Lu cry heart-piercingly, as if she "betrayed" the crown prince Jing Baiyu, how painful it really was.

Jing Bowen just wanted to sneer, but now is not a good time to laugh.

Mrs. Lu finally made up her mind and said, "Your Majesty! You don't know something, His Royal Highness...Jing Baiyu is not your Majesty's flesh and blood! He is not of the blood of the Dajing royal family at all!"

"You said..." The emperor didn't know where the strength came from, but he turned over, sat up, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about! Jing Baiyu is not my son, who else can it be! Why are you What good does it do you to falsely accuse Jing Baiyu like this?"

"Your Majesty, you have wronged my concubine!" Madam Lu cried and said, "Your Majesty can't believe this concubine, but... every word of my concubine is true, and there is no lie. Jing Baiyu... Jing Baiyu It is indeed not your Majesty's flesh and blood. Your Majesty will see for yourself!"

Madam Lu was afraid that the emperor would not believe her, so she stood up immediately.

The maid behind her was already prepared, and immediately opened the curtain, leading a man in white to come in from the outside.

"Who is here!" The emperor roared angrily, "Who allowed you to come in without permission!"

The visitor was dressed in white and looked extremely calm. He walked up to the emperor slowly without saying a word.

"Yu'er?"

The emperor's old eyes were dim, and there were already two shadows in front of his eyes, and he was irritated by Mrs. Lu again, so he couldn't see clearly.At first glance at the man in white, he mistook Kang Xiaquan for Jing Baiyu.

The emperor said: "Yu'er, you came just in time."

"Your Majesty!" Madam Lu said loudly, "Your Majesty, take a closer look at this man, he is not Jing Baiyu at all!"

"What did you say?" The emperor scolded, "It's nonsense!"

The emperor said that's all, he must look again, the blurry figure in front of him has come to the front, unexpectedly...

"Ho-"

The emperor gasped, it was really not Jing Baiyu.

The person who came was very similar to Jing Baiyu, in the eyes of the double-eyed emperor, they were exactly the same.However, the person who came was much older than Jing Baiyu, no matter how old the emperor is, he could still tell.

"Who are you?!" the emperor said in disbelief.

Kang Xiaquan remained silent, but Mrs. Lu said, "Your Majesty! He is Jing Baiyu's biological father. Look, Your Majesty, Jing Baiyu looks exactly like him?"

"Same……"

The emperor couldn't stop muttering: "It's so similar...how...how is this possible? Impossible, it's too similar..."

The emperor has only one son, Jing Baiyu, and he has never doubted that Jing Baiyu is not his own flesh and blood.However, Jing Baiyu did not look like the emperor, if it was in the past, it would not be a big deal.

But now, a person who is [-]% similar to Jing Baiyu appeared, so...

The emperor thumped in his heart, and couldn't calm down any more. He scolded and said, "You! Who are you?! Who are you?! What is the relationship between Yu'er and you! This is impossible! How is it possible! Yu'er is my son, is it true? Dajing's future emperor!"

"Your Majesty! You have been deceived!" Mrs. Lu shouted: "Your Majesty, take a good look, you have been deceived all this time! Jing Baiyu is not your son. If His Majesty really passes the throne to Jing Baiyu, then the big Jing will die just like that!"

"The throne..."

The emperor staggered, and fell on one side powerlessly. He was in a daze, and said to himself: "No, no, no... What about the throne... My son... Deceitful..."

"Go quickly! Call Jing Baiyu here! I want to ask him face to face!" The emperor said anxiously.

Mrs. Lu saw the emperor lost her mind, and said: "Your Majesty, now that the truth is in front of you, what's the use of calling the prince here? Your majesty, you should think about it carefully. After a while, your majesty will pass on the crown prince who is located in Jingjing. Bai Yu, but this crown prince..."

According to the plan, the emperor was indeed going to pass on the throne today, but just before passing on the throne, the emperor discovered that his prince had no blood relationship with him at all.

"Yes, my imperial edict..." The emperor wavered in his heart.

Mrs. Lu immediately announced the succession
