After Xing Chenmu agreed, Xing Chenxiu asked him to leave through the back window. After a while, Shui'er rushed over with Hua Xin.

Hua Xin recognized Shui'er as the maid next to Concubine Ning. After entering the room, the master and apprentice looked at each other. He quickly had some guesses about the situation in front of him, stepped forward and pretended to feel his pulse, and said to Shui'er: The prince's condition is getting worse, I'm going to give him acupuncture to dispel the cold, you should go out first."

When there were only two people left in the room, Xing Chenxiu explained to Hua Xin what happened in the afternoon and his future plans in a low voice.

As the eldest son, things like this, once there will be two, as long as he is still alive, maybe it will never be eliminated.

Hua Xin was silent for a while after listening, and said: "Your teacher has recently studied a new poison. After taking it, it can weaken the breath, slow down the metabolism in the body, and make people sleep all day long. It is no different from a serious illness, but it can keep the mind clear. There is no real damage to the internal organs. If you really make up your mind not to fight for the throne, I can give you this poison, and as for how to use this opportunity, you can figure it out yourself."

"Okay." Xing Chenxiu took the medicine bottle and hid it under the pillow.

That night when Zhu Jin Palace was in chaos, the eldest prince Xing Chenxiu suddenly became seriously ill, which even alarmed the emperor. Hua Xin took the initiative to take the stall that no one dared to take over, offered to treat the eldest prince, and took care of the illness and possible future illnesses. The sequelae lead to that toxic effect.

A few days later, the emperor retreated from the left and right sides, and stayed in front of Xing Chenxiu's bed to talk with him alone.

The emperor didn't like Concubine Ning at all, and he even hated the Queen Mother and Concubine Ning's constant pressure on him. As a monarch, he was in his prime, so who would want to appoint a crown prince early, and risk his own bad luck.

What's more, the harem is so big that compared to Concubine Ning, the emperor prefers the gentle and quiet Concubine Shu who comes from a poor background.

Xing Chenxiu insisted that Concubine Ning was poisoned, and hit it off with the emperor.After a thorough investigation, personal evidence and material evidence quickly surfaced. Poisoning the prince is a serious crime, and because Xing Chenxiu has not recovered, the emperor finally ordered a severe punishment.

Xing Chenxiu used his own body as a bait to eradicate dissidents and put Xing Chenmu on the throne.

It's just that he didn't expect that, as time passed, his fourth younger brother really remembered his words at the beginning, and he plumped up his wings, only to protect the person he wanted to protect.

The noise outside brought Xing Chenxiu back from his memories. Wei Yan was on his way to reorganize the army, but listening to the noise, it seemed that there was a dispute.

"Master Zhuo is inconvenient to show up, please stay here for now, I will go and see."

The situation is already chaotic, and the barracks may not be safe, Zhuo Ying said bluntly without even thinking about it: "Is there any inconvenience now, my subordinates can go with the prince."

"Alright."

The two left the main tent, and the shadow guards who were guarding outside followed immediately. Xing Chenxiu thought about it, and said to Zhuo Ying: "You make them all prepare for their return trip."

Zhuo Ying nodded, glanced around, and quickly found the leading shadow guard: "Seventeen, my lord will follow me, you all go back to clean up, gather here after half a stick of incense, and return to Luan City."

The shadow guard known as Seventeen was stunned, and quickly realized who was talking to him, and immediately clasped his fists: "Yes, my lord."

"It turns out that he is seventeen. He has been with me for so long, and I don't even know what their names are."

Zhuo Ying explained; "There are a large number of shadow guards, and they are often dispatched directly by the Holy Majesty. In order to enable the Holy Majesty to quickly distinguish them, the Shadow Guards have been named using numbers since the previous dynasty."

Most of the shadow guards are mysterious in the eyes of everyone, and they are only used by the emperor. Except for the emperor, even other nobles in heaven don't know too many rules.

Zhuo Ying followed Xing Chenxiu for half a step, remembering the respect His Majesty had for this person in front of him, and how they would face the severe situation together, he finally said a few more words: "When we return to the palace, the clothes they are wearing are The neckline is embroidered with silver patterns that represent their identities, and the prince can identify them by the silver patterns."

Xing Chenxiu squinted his eyes and recalled for a while, and asked: "When I saw it back then, Master Zhuo seemed to embroider the collar of the bright moon?"

"Yes, the original shadow guard commander's tattoo was a sword, referring to the emperor's soldiers, but a few years ago, the Holy One ordered someone to change the embroidery tattoo of his subordinates."

"Master Zhuo, do you know what that means?"

Zhuo Ying shook her head: "This subordinate once asked the Holy Majesty, but the Holy Majesty only said that the subordinates should understand it by themselves."

"Ran Ying uses the Ziwei star to symbolize the emperor." Xing Chenxiu thought, the fourth brother who was crying in his arms back then has really grown up, "'May I be like a star king like a moon, and the night and night stream be bright and clean." Zhuo My lord, the Holy Majesty's heart, he has already expressed it to you through this pattern."

Zhuo Ying paused, and soon revealed a wry smile, it turned out that the Holy Majesty...

Xing Chenxiu stopped talking and didn't intervene in the affairs between the two of them. After finishing speaking, he walked quickly into the school grounds.

Seeing him, all the soldiers who were still arguing quieted down instantly, from which Xing Chenxiu knew that the dispute was related to him.

He found Wei Yan standing with his hands behind his back in the crowd. At this time, there were two people kneeling down in front of Wei Yan. Judging by the armor he was wearing, his official position was not low.

Before Xing Chenxiu could step forward, Lu Yishui, who noticed him, had already walked over and explained the situation to him in a low voice.

It turned out that just after Wei Yan said that he would lead troops back to Luancheng, two generals suddenly stood up to question his intentions and incited everyone's emotions, implying that King Yong'an would lead troops to rebel.

As soon as this remark came out, the whole army was in an uproar.

The other soldiers were discussing a lot, and they didn't know which side to believe for a while. Rebellion is a felony that will kill everyone, and no one dares to stand in line easily.

Seeing this, Wei Yan acted decisively and controlled the two generals first.

Those two generals were none other than Helian Chunfeng who sent those letters back then. With those evidences, things became much easier. Wei Yan had already sent people to search their dormitories, and took some Compare the paper with their handwriting.

In front of the evidence, the two people still refused to plead guilty, clamoring that Wei Yan and King Yong'an were in the same boat and designed to slander them.

Wei Yan sneered: "When I got these evidences, I didn't want to believe it. The two of you have been with the Northern Army for many years, and you will collude with the enemy to betray the country. You said that I will slander, but I would like to ask you. If you are really innocent, how would this general know that you are going to stand up to question the motive of returning to Luancheng tonight, and prepare a letter in advance to slander you?"

After saying this, everyone quickly understood. Wei Yan suddenly said that he would send troops back to Luan Town to suppress the rebels. The rest of the people hadn't responded yet, but these two people immediately stood up and raised speculations about rebellion. No matter how they looked, they looked more like I came prepared.

Seeing that the matter had been clarified, Wei Yan didn't waste any more time, and directly killed the two with a knife.

"Generals Chen and Xu have colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. The evidence is conclusive. I will deal with them according to military law and behead them on the spot as an example to others." Wei Yan put away his knife and raised his voice, "Now the border war is not over. , the rebellious party in Luancheng is in power, and I, Ran Ying, are in troubled times. I know that you are all loyal to the country and the sage. Today, I will return to the palace to rescue you. When the court is stable, the sage will reward you for your merits and will never treat you badly. Everyone."

After Wei Yan finished speaking, the voice still echoed in the school grounds for a long time.

Li Tu took the lead and knelt down on one knee, shouting, "I swear to follow General Wei to the death, and to serve Ran Ying to the death."

The other soldiers came to their senses and knelt down to show their loyalty.

The slogan "Follow General Wei to the death, loyal to Ran Ying to the death" resounded throughout the army.

Then Xing Chenxiu walked forward slowly, stood beside Wei Yan, and said in a deep voice: "The journey back to Luan City is long and the time is short, and the march must be difficult. If you are afraid of hardship or tiredness, or still have doubts about this action , you can stand up now, this king will never force you."

All the soldiers below knelt straight, their eyes were firm, and no one wavered.

"Okay, the Zhenbei Army is really as expected by the Holy Majesty, and it is my loyal and righteous teacher. Whether you continue to stay at the border today, or return to Luan City with the king to quell the chaos, after the situation stabilizes, the king will go up personally and invite everyone achievement."

"Thank you, Lord."

Xing Chenxiu and Wei Yan looked at each other, and there was already an invisible tacit understanding between them. He didn't say any more, turned around and left, and Wei Yan began to give orders calmly behind him.

Although it is urgent to return to Luan City, it is equally important to keep the guards. How to arrange these two groups of troops is Wei Yan's duty as a general.

But Xing Chenxiu, who was walking towards the bed tent, was thinking about another thing at this time.

Chen Si had obviously expected that the Zhenbei Army would be used by the Holy Majesty, and had prepared for it. If it weren't for the letters sent by Helian Chunfeng back then, today's matter would never have been resolved so smoothly.

Not to mention that Helian Chunfeng took the initiative to take away the half of the soldiers and proposed a temporary truce, which made them dare to use the border guards to return to Luancheng at this time.

Helian Chunfeng knew about the cooperation between Chen Si and Helian Chunyi sooner than them, and before that battle, Helian Chunfeng had always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Helian Chunyi.

But in just a few dozen days after the war, he not only got the evidence and the list of personnel, but also seemed to have counted every step of Chen Si's plan, and even counted the countermeasures that the Zhenbei Army would take, and provided help first.

The method of thunder made Xing Chenxiu look a little different.

When Wei Yan returned to the dormitory, Xing Chenxiu had already packed the luggage of the two of them. He leaned over and kissed each other on the forehead: "Ran Ying's King Yong'an packed my luggage with his own hands. I am afraid that this kind of treatment will not be available in Ran Ying's next hundred years." No one else can compare."

Xing Chenxiu smiled lightly: "Then Ayan should be cherished."

"That's natural." Seeing his absent-mindedness, Wei Yan gathered his robe for him, held his hand hanging by his side, and asked, "Are you worried about the Holy One?"

"Yeah." Xing Chenxiu didn't shy away, and nodded directly, "The Holy One had no intention of taking the throne when he was young. I was the one who sent him to the throne back then. If he..."

Xing Chenxiu didn't dare to think about it.

"Don't worry, the Holy Majesty must have his own arrangements for doing this, and nothing will happen easily."

The two didn't delay any longer, and walked out of the tent side by side.Zhuo Ying led the horse and waited outside, more than ten thousand soldiers and horses were ready to go, after Wei Yan helped Xing Chenxiu get on the horse, he also jumped on another horse, and rode to the front of the team, but he didn't say a word, just looked around quietly. the man next to him.

Xing Chenxiu understood, and raised his voice: "Let's go!"

Immediately behind him, the battle drum was played, and the soldiers shouted their determination to win. The fiery red Zhenbei Army battle flag fluttered in the wind in the evening sunset.

Wei Yan tilted his head, revealing a smile that was sure to win: "Zimu, this time we will fight side by side!"
