kill Qin Sheng

The effect of Mafeisan was a little slow. When the prince felt his chest was cut open by a knife in the severe pain, he was still very conscious.He could even think that this was definitely the work of a doctor who was good at dealing with trauma in Taiyuan Hospital.About five or six years ago, he also suffered a similar injury in the hunting ground in the capital, but the long arrows shot by the assassins that year were not poisoned.

The doctor's voice was intermittent, and the prince couldn't hear it clearly.

"I can't do anything..."

"Very poisonous..."

"His Majesty……"

With the increasingly severe swelling and suffocation in the throat, the feeling of the skin being pulled gradually became blurred. The prince realized that he was going to die soon.

Before the eyes were completely closed, the last scene in the prince's eyes was the shadow of his father.

Yes, what he recalled before his death was the shadow of Emperor Qingfeng.

Just about an hour ago, the eunuchs and maids in the Zichen Palace lit candles in exquisite hollow gold vessels one by one. These candles came from the Western Regions and were priceless. They were carefully placed on the wall behind the emperor's desk, making A substitute for a wall lamp.Soon after, these brand new wall lamps pulled out the drunken and swaying figure of the emperor.When the prince and Qin Xi turned their backs to talk about current political affairs, the emperor stood behind the prince and Qin Xi who turned their backs to him, and his shadow was reflected at the prince's feet.

The crown prince listened to Qin Xi's report on the recent situation of the famine in the Southwest, and happened to have a tacit understanding with the emperor's father for a moment. He glanced down and unexpectedly saw his father's shadow at his feet.

A twisted, tall figure holding something sharp.

like a monster.The prince thought subconsciously.

At the moment when he was distracted, the emperor slashed the knife——cut towards Qin Xi's neck.

"Your Majesty is drunk."

The sky was getting darker, and the dark clouds that arrived at unknown time engulfed the sun, and there was no rain or thunder in strong winds.Presumably, historians will classify it as a phenomenon in the Five Elements Chronicles, and write it as a sign of the 19th year of Yongping, the assassination and arrest of the powerful minister Qin Xizichen, and the turmoil in the capital.On the long palace road, most of the candle lamps under the trees had been extinguished, and occasionally a few dedicated lamps assumed the responsibility of lighting, so that the galloping horses would not trample on the bloody male corpses lying on the ground.

The eunuch and maid who were supposed to light the lamp at this time have disappeared. Judging from the body, it seems that there has also been a bloody battle here. It was almost impossible to see the way.

Having said that, Cai Hong did not panic.He even told the confused King Kang about the whole story of the Zichen Palace incident.

"Your Majesty drank a lot of wine, and ordered Qin Xi, Qin Sheng and His Highness the Crown Prince to be called into the Zichen Hall to discuss state affairs." Cai Hong said, "Your Majesty sent Qin Sheng away again for some reason. Your Majesty has often...drunk and confused in recent years, Qin Both Xi and the prince are used to it. Therefore, Qin Xi and the prince are the only ones discussing the famine in the Southwest in the palace. The maids and eunuchs said that His Majesty sat on a chair to rest. His Majesty dismissed the palace eunuchs again, and a maid said that she saw the emperor was sleepy. Incessantly, it seems that I am going to doze off.

"His Highness the Crown Prince said what happened later. Neither the Crown Prince nor Qin Xi noticed that the Emperor hid a knife. His Majesty who was drunk chopped it off Qin Xi's back."

Qin Xi's scream brought the prince back to his senses immediately.He followed the sound and saw blood on the shoulders of the man who was sitting on his right hand holding the famine case written by the governor of Southwest China, and his purple official uniform was dyed a strange purple-black.He clutched his slashed shoulder, bent his back, and twisted his face.Those eagle-like eyes stared at the emperor, "You are crazy!"

The eunuchs outside the house shouted in shrill voices: "Your Majesty! Your Highness! Lord Qin! What happened?" They banged on the door.Seeing this, the prince felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. He jumped up from the chair and shouted: "Come on, Qin Xi's Assassin is here!"

The door opened immediately, and at the same time, the emperor who smelled of alcohol and screamed ferociously slashed down again.Hot blood spattered the prince's face.

The house was in chaos, with maids and eunuchs screaming in fear.Someone yelled "Guardian".Qin Xi was slashed twice, grabbed the white jade paperweight and threw it at the emperor, and the two wrestled into a ball.

The prince's mind was buzzing, and the blood was rushing up. He had never seen such a scene before. The splash of blood made him dizzy and almost fainted on the spot. Fortunately, the prince held back and held on to the side of the table to force himself to calm down. He quickly directed the guards: "Qin Xi wants to kill His Majesty! Escort!" One of the guards stood beside him and helped him to the other side.

The door was knocked open again, and several soldiers stood on the steps with guns in their hands. One of them aimed at the prince who was helped to leave in the confusion.

How the forbidden army arrived later, the prince didn't know.It seems that the new lieutenant general Cai Hongchuang captured Qin Xi, the leader of the rebellion was killed by a random sword, and the emperor called the imperial physician to save the prince hysterically...

Cai Hong said: "Before I left, His Majesty ordered the news to be sealed and the Qin family arrested, and the in-laws to sit together."

The horse stopped, but the rain came.The pouring raindrops fell on the still Zichen Palace, on the blood stains of the pitch-black armor, and on Ren Xingluo's gloomy eyes.A bolt of lightning like a silver dragon rolls out of the jet-black clouds, instantly illuminating the pale face of Ren Xingluo, who was dismounted from his horse. There was hardly a trace of blood on his face.Cai Hong saw it, supported his arm, and said in a low voice: "The Zichen Hall is safe, Your Highness need not worry."

Ren Xingluo twitched the corner of his mouth, trying to laugh, "Really?"

The entire Zichen Palace was surrounded by many soldiers, Cai Hong and several people walked towards the Zichen Palace, and someone immediately came to stop him: "But Vice General Cai and His Highness King Kang?"

Cai Hong promised.The man who came was a tall military officer.He held a sword in one hand and a dim glass oil lamp in the other.He raised the lamp to the faces of the two of them, carefully looked at Ren Xingluo with vigilant eyes for a while, and then showed a slightly relieved expression, "Your Highness is fine, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

After saying that, he immediately led Cai Hong and Ren Xingluo to the Zichen Hall, and rows of soldiers silently made way for a narrow path.

"How is the prince's injury?" Ren Xingluo couldn't help asking, "What's going on with the Yanjing Qin family now?"

The officer's expression was heavy, "His Royal Highness... the crown prince died of serious injuries and died just now!"

"what?"

Ren Xingluo was stunned, and the sudden increase in his voice revealed the fear in his heart.

The prince is dead!How could he be dead?

If he is the emperor, he must be a benevolent monarch...

"His Highness mourns." Cai Hong said.

Ren Xingluo shook his head.His eyes turned black, and he walked over the steps tremblingly while supporting Cai Hong's arm.The door was pushed open, and the eunuch said sharply: "His Royal Highness Kang Wang has come." In the dark room, the shadow of flickering candles flashed past, and the emperor sitting behind the screen and dressed in black clothes raised his head.His face was pale, his eyes were clear and he was not drunk, but he was only a little tired.

"You are here. It is your luck that the prince is dead."

The emperor spoke in a calm tone.

Where does he look like a drunk?

Ren Xingluo knelt down, this action drained all his strength, and the world was spinning before his eyes.Before he fell down, he vaguely thought that the emperor only had two sons... no, to be precise, there was only one.The prince died, and the emperor must go crazy.

Booming and dull thunder came from afar, covering Cai Hong's terrified cries.

In November of the 19th year of Yongping, Grand Sima Qinxi assassinated the emperor, but failed to put him to death; Prince Xing was seriously injured, died, and chased after him as Prince Xianhuai; Concubine Cheng committed suicide by swallowing gold; King Kang Xingluo was ill.

The wrath of the emperor lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles.The emperor took back part of the military power, and the first thing he did was to send troops to suppress the rebel troops of Wei, Yingzhou Qin Hao, and Qin Ming. People in the sixteen states were panicked for a while.

At the same time, the Qin family in the capital city who were imprisoned were executed, except for one person.

Qin Sheng was placed under house arrest in prison without punishment.

The emperor said: "Qin Sheng has meritorious service."

What credit does Qin Sheng have?Did he betray his father, Qin Xi, or did he cooperate with the emperor inside and out?The emperor said that he had meritorious service, but no one dared to say otherwise, and no one, no matter how talkative, dared to contradict him at this juncture.

But if Qin Sheng was really innocent, why didn't the emperor release him?

"Because he is both the emperor's son and Qin Xi's son. The emperor is afraid that Qin Sheng will not recognize who he is."

Holding the medicine bowl, Ren Xingluo sneered and said, "Unspeakable court secrets, heh."

"Your Highness!" Huang Liang screamed, "Your Highness, the walls have ears!"

He was so terrified that the tray in his hand fell to the ground.Huang Liang knelt down on the side of the bed and kept kowtowing, "Your Highness, why bother to mention the past, you are in danger now, so let's not say a few words..."

Ren Xingluo said wearily, "I know."

He just said a few words, and his head hurt again.He pressed his temples, and his body sank limply into the quilt again.He couldn't hear Huang Liang's babbling words amidst the intermittent tinnitus.His eyelids were closed heavily, and the boundless darkness confused his consciousness again.

Kang Wang was indeed dying of illness, and spent far more time sleeping than awake.

The Tai Hospital was at a loss again.A while ago, the emperor killed a group of imperial physicians, and no one knew which son he was venting his anger on.

After the good news came from Wei and Ying states, the emperor was overjoyed and rewarded the army that defeated the rebels.On that day, the emperor personally went to Kang Wang's mansion to visit the sick Kang Wang, and everyone said that the emperor had a deep love for his father and son.

Ren Xingluo hadn't seen the emperor for a long time.To his surprise, the emperor was not in high spirits, but instead had gray hair and a face that had aged for more than ten years, as if something had dragged him down.

He said, "It would be great if Xingzhi was still there."

Ren Xingluo understood in his heart that the emperor was still immersed in the haze of the pain of losing his son.

The crown prince is a good brother, and no one can pick the wrong prince... It's a pity that there is no holiday.

He was lying down, but he barely sat up after hearing this sentence.Ren Xingluo coughed heavily, the sore throat made his voice rough and hoarse, it was somewhat similar to the emperor's voice.

"My condolences, Your Majesty." He said with difficulty.

"The two of you have a brotherly relationship. He told me several times in private that he should treat you kindly."

"But you're going to kill me."

"I never said that."

"I want to see Qin Sheng before I die," Ren Xingluo pretended the emperor was talking nonsense, "Why are you still locking Qin Sheng? Don't kill him."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing sincerely, "He also begged me not to kill you. My two good sons! If you are so soft-hearted, how can you become an emperor in the future?"
