Wen Jingyu sat in the main hall, looking up at the soaring flames outside the courtyard.

The door of the mansion was knocked open from the outside, and the guards were holding torches, and the sound of footsteps broke the tranquility of Wen's mansion.

Under the guard of everyone, Ji Rongheng walked slowly into the main hall.

Holding the steel knife in his hand, Ajiamu immediately wanted to rush forward, but was gently pulled by Wen Jingyu, the veins on his neck bulged, and he did not move forward, but stubbornly blocked Wen Jingyu.

Wen Jingyu's face was pale and much weaker than it was half a year ago.

He coughed twice, and slowly stood up: "Why did His Royal Highness leave the mansion without permission..."

Ji Rongheng's side face was cold and hard, with his hands clasped behind his back: "If this king does not leave the mansion, the whole Dayong, wouldn't it be Wenxiang your world?"

Wen Jingyu's face was expressionless: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang's words are wrong. His Majesty is now in the palace city. The king of Qi's words of such cruelty, I dare not be an official."

Ji Rongheng sneered: "Now that things are up to now, why is Prime Minister Wen still pretending to be a hypocrite? Aren't you the one who has the final say on how to behave as a sidekick?"

He suddenly took a step forward: "You use a puppet to block the mouths of the people in the world, have you ever thought about how to explain to the people in the world that you murdered the late emperor!"

Wen Jingyu lowered his eyes, his expression still calm: "I don't know why His Royal Highness Qi Wang made such a statement..."

Ji Rongheng didn't say a word, but an old imperial doctor came out from behind him.

The moment she saw him, Wen Jingyu suddenly froze.

"... Imperial Physician Chen?"

Imperial Physician Chen cupped his hands and bowed: "Your Excellency Wen, please come and be safe."

Wen Jingyu stared at him for a long time, at this moment, all the past that he deliberately suppressed in his heart suddenly hit him overwhelmingly.

Those people and things that he had deliberately forgotten in order to get a better foothold in the turbulent current of officialdom, and those that he deliberately abandoned in order to get closer to the peak of power, all came to him again at this moment.

It was so heavy that he couldn't breathe, and his eyes blurred.

"The last time we parted was when I was released from Dali Temple. You came to the mansion with King Jing to treat me. Now, in the blink of an eye, I don't know how long it has passed." Wen Jingyu blinked back her tears, and after being a prime minister, For the first time, I laughed heartily.

In the huge capital city, he doesn't have many old friends anymore, and one more thing always makes people happy.

However, Imperial Physician Chen did not feel the joy of reuniting after a long absence. He said indifferently: "How dare Mr. Wen have the face to mention His Highness King Jing again? Didn't Mr. Wen drive him out of the capital?"

Wen Jingyu froze suddenly.

After a while, he trembled all over, and suddenly laughed: "Yes...it's me, it's all me..."

Imperial physician Chen stopped looking at him, and turned to Ji Rongheng: "Fortunately, I was favored by Princess Chunli, and entrusted by the princess, I ordered my minister to take care of His Royal Highness King Jing, but my minister was tired and useless, so that His Highness fell into the current situation, and my minister was ashamed." Go to see the princess, but even if I donate this old bone, I still have to ask for it."

"My minister has been working in the imperial hospital. I have long been secretly suspicious of the death of the late emperor. Soul-stirring incense is a forbidden drug in the palace. Ordinary people don't know it. Only when I have acquaintance with the princess will I know the effect of this thing. This thing will make people feel sick. Addictive to it, the more time goes by, the more inseparable it is, but it is not irresistible. The reason why the late emperor was controlled by the Mu brothers and sisters is because of this. , he even added this to the original dementor incense."

Doctor Chen took out a paper bag from his sleeve, slowly unfolded it, and handed it to Ji Rongheng: "Please look, Your Highness, this is osmanthus powder, which is non-toxic and can be used as medicine. Poison! The late emperor was not seriously ill, but died of being poisoned! Once the poison takes hold, he will die suddenly, and there is no medicine or stone to save him!"

Ji Rongheng pursed his lips tightly, his hand holding the paper trembled slightly, his eyes were red: "What else do you have to say? Seeing the old relationship between Brother Wang and you, I can give you a whole corpse."

As soon as the words fell, a figure rushed forward, but was surrounded by the guards and pressed down firmly on the ground.

Ajiamu struggled hard, like a dying beast, glaring at Ji Rongheng and Imperial Physician Chen, cursing a bunch of incomprehensible words.

Wen Jingyu frowned: "It has nothing to do with him, you let him go, and I will go with you."

Agamu froze, as if he wanted to say something, but the guards got Ji Rongheng's order, immediately gagged him, and dragged him out involuntarily.

Ji Rongheng didn't look at Wen Jingyu until the sound of struggling completely disappeared.

There was silence in the main hall, Wen Jingyu shuffled, walked back to the main seat and sat down, and even took a sip of tea in a very leisurely manner.

"It's useless for you to delay any longer." Ji Rongheng frowned, but before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Doctor Chen!"

Doctor Chen was also shocked, and immediately rushed forward, just in time to catch Wen Jingyu who had slipped to the ground.

"It's useless, I ate it before you came here, it's just poisonous, you can't save me..." Wen Jingyu seemed to be indifferent to the knife-like pain in his abdomen, and wiped the dirty blood from the corner of his lips, which was a bit ridiculous feeling.

"I took Mu Heng's place, and ended up with him in the end..." He seemed to think this was very funny, and couldn't help but his shoulders trembled, and then he curled up, trembling like chaff.

Doctor Chen's hands were also stained with blood. He grabbed Wen Jingyu's wrist, and after a while, he turned pale and shook his head at Ji Rongheng.

Ji Rongheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and clenched his hands tightly.

Wen Jingyu's eyes were a little loose, he looked at Ji Rongheng, and seemed to be looking at many individual people through him.

With his life, can he pay for all the mistakes he made in the past?

...If I could do it all over again, would it be better than now?

……

Doctor Chen stood up, his stooped figure seemed to be much older.

The guards stepped forward and lifted Wen Jingyu, who was already lifeless.

Ji Rongheng didn't want to read any more, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

Imperial physician Chen followed behind him, and the two of them walked side by side outside the gate of the mansion without saying a word. Agamu knelt in front of the mansion gate in a daze, and did not react at all when he saw the two people coming out.

Ji Rongheng looked at him and felt that he was like a big dog that had suddenly lost its home.

I don't know how long it took, but there was no one in front of the mansion.

Ji Rongheng looked at the moonlight all over the street, and said softly: "The Imperial Physician Chen has made a contribution to this matter."

The wrinkled face of Imperial Physician Chen was full of exhaustion: "The minister is old, and the princess has passed away for many years. The debts that should be paid and the debts owed will always come to an end. When King Jing returns to Beijing in the future, please take care of him more... He grew up under the watchful eye of my humble minister, and I understand him very well. He is soft-hearted and does not love power. If His Highness thinks that he is really wrong..."

Imperial Physician Chen seemed to have thought of something interesting, and couldn't help smiling, "Most of them were deceived."

Ji Rongheng raised his eyebrows: "Then what if it's not?"

Imperial Physician Chen fell silent, and said after a long time: "He will try his best to repay it."

The moonlight fell on Ji Rongheng's temples, and he seemed to be an old man over fifty years old in a trance.

He suddenly took out the hand behind his back and slowly unfolded a folding fan.

The fan is blank, empty.

"The day before Taifu died was my king's birthday. When he gave me this folding fan, he only said to me the word 'abstain from greed'."

"He said that people can't want everything." Ji Rongheng closed the folding fan, holding his downcast eyes in his hand and playing with it.

"The Taifu is a Confucian scholar, but he behaves like Lao Zhuang, but I know that he told me so because he was afraid that I would have a dislike for my father. At that time, my father loved my second brother very much, and I haven't looked at him for a long time. Look at me..."

Doctor Chen rolled his eyes and looked at him: "Your Highness must have never paid attention to his appearance."

Ji Rongheng was taken aback: "What's wrong? I'm a man, and I don't want to cherish my appearance like a woman..."

Imperial Physician Chen hehe shook his head: "Your Highness's words are wrong. Everyone has a love for beauty. Who in the world doesn't love beautiful things? Your Highness has never paid attention to himself, so it's normal to be someone else. Forgive me for relying on the old and selling the old. In Yichen's opinion, In fact, Your Highness looks exactly like the former Empress."

Ji Rongheng touched his face, a little dazed: "Is that so..."
