"Second brother, why did you stop?" Chen Xiangye opened the curtain and asked.

Chen Er kept silent, pouted his lips, and there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes. Chen Xiangye looked towards his second son and saw a familiar face.

Manager Wang took off his dark blue brocade robe that he never changed all the year round, and put on a shiny armor with a treasured sword on his waist. He rode on a tall horse. He looked quite high-spirited.

If he didn't speak, people who didn't know would think he was a high-spirited general.

It's just that Director Wang has been a servant for many years, and his servility has penetrated deep into his bones. It is really too difficult for him to change his humble temperament just by relying on a mighty armor.

He raised his orchid fingers habitually, squeezed the drake's throat and said with a smile: "Oh, it's Mr. Chen Xiangye, our family thought it was some guy who didn't have long eyes."

Chen Xiangye frowned slightly, and looked at the row of soldiers with heads held high behind Mr. Wang, the gap between his brows became deeper and deeper, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his whole body exuded this cold aura that no strangers should enter.

He twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Mr. Wang, you are so angry."

"How can there be a gentleman's style? Our family has survived for more than 40 years before it came to the top." Mr. Wang is very grateful, with a look of hard work and reward.

The prince heard something wrong, Director Wang is the chief servant in the palace, although he has some power, it is not enough for him to show his prestige in the capital.In the palace, I am afraid that something happened.

The prince secretly urged Chen Xiangye to enter the city.

"Director Wang, why did you stop the truth's carriage?"

Manager Wang patted his saber, "Master, why are you leaving the city? Who is hiding in your carriage?"

Director Wang drove the horse forward, and drew out his sword to lift the curtain to check the situation inside the carriage.

Chen Xiangye immediately stopped the long sword to stop Mr. Wang from moving.

The crown prince has always claimed to be recuperating in the East Palace. If people find out that she has already left the capital, the crown prince may be accused of deceiving officials and people.If the monarch loses his trust in the people, he will lose the hearts of the people and the country will be unstable.

He can't put the prince in danger.

"Director Wang is suspicious of the truth?"

"Our family is only following the order of the empress to thoroughly investigate the spies. Pedestrians and carriages entering and leaving the capital must be carefully inspected, and no suspicious person can be let go." Manager Wang played with his sword and guessed: "Mr. Why is the Lord so nervous, is there something hidden inside?"

Chen Xiangye's face was gloomy, and he asked in a deep voice: "This is relative Daqi's loyalty, and the sun and the moon can learn from it, but you slander me like this, what is your purpose?"

"Loyalty? Who knows what loyalty looks like, why don't you dig out Xiangye's heart and show it to everyone?"

Manager Wang swung the tip of his sword from Chen Xiangye's throat up and down to his chest.

Chen Xiangye's voice trembled, "Boss Wang, what are you doing?"

Although the people behind the car curtain couldn't see the situation outside, but listening to the conversation between the two, they could already sense that the situation outside was very tense.

The prince wanted to get up and teach Manager Wang a lesson. Chen Jia held her down and said softly: "Don't act rashly. Manager Wang, he must not be the manager we knew before. If you go out, you will fall into his tricks and fall into his trap." What will happen to you?"

Mrs. Chen also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Your Highness, what Nannan said is, don't worry, our Xiangye will definitely be able to solve this matter." But she couldn't believe that herself, she rubbed her fingers tightly The handkerchief was badly torn.

"No purpose, just want to invite Mr. Xiang to come to our family's house for a gathering." He shouted again to the tightly covered car curtain, "Everyone in the carriage, come down, after all, what is in our family's hands Knives don't have eyes, and if they hurt anyone, they hurt their feelings."

Chen Xiangye's eyes darkened, and he put his hands behind his back and pointed at Chen Er.

Chen Er understood, turned around and moved to Mr. Wang's side, kicked the sword in his hand away, caught it on his neck with his backhand, and whispered: "Let's go into the city."

Manager Wang didn't respond, the sharp blade moved a little closer to his neck, and the bright red blood slid onto the silvery white knife, it was frightening to watch.

"Okay, I'll let you go into the city!"

Director Wang stayed in the palace for more than 40 years, suffered a lot, and finally climbed to his current position. How could he be willing to give up his life? He immediately ordered the soldiers surrounding the carriage: "Get out of the way!" , Let them go in, into the city!"

Chen Xiangye jumped on the shaft of the chariot, pulled up the reins, and yanked the whip hard, and the horse rushed towards the city gate.

Seeing that the carriage had already entered the city gate, Chen Er moved his sword and threw Manager Wang away, and chased after the carriage with his toes.

Although Director Wang still fell to the ground, he watched the carriage go farther and farther, panicked in his heart, and hurriedly ordered: "Archer, archer! Get ready, shoot! Shoot!"

"Boss Wang, that's the Prime Minister, I don't dare to be humble."

"That's right, Master Xiang is the elder brother of the imperial concubine, and he doesn't dare to hold a humble position."

Manager Wang spat out, got up immediately, grabbed a bow and arrow, and shot it out.

"Hurry up and shoot, if you shoot one person, you will be promoted to three ranks."

Seeing that Manager Wang had already made a move, all the guards shot the arrows in their hands without any hesitation.

Both the crown prince and Chen Er are martial arts practitioners, with excellent hearing, they knew something was wrong when they heard the continuous sound of piercing through the air, and immediately jumped out of the carriage, only to find that the carriage was full of feathered arrows, like a hedgehog .

There was a mournful neighing sound from behind, and when he turned his head, he saw that the white horse had been hit by four or five arrows and fell powerlessly.

Manager Wang wants to kill them all.

"Prince?"

The moment Director Wang saw the prince, he felt a bit of fear, and then thought that the guards guarding the city did not know the prince and would not be afraid, and even if he shot and killed the prince, he would not be the one to blame, so he Feel at ease and order everyone to shoot arrows.

Looking at the collapsed carriage, he felt somewhat complacent.Everyone thought that he belonged to Emperor Daxing or the Empress, but they didn't know that his real master was King Liang.

King Liang had always wanted to get rid of the prince, so he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the prince.

Now, this biggest obstacle is finally about to be removed.

"Stop!" A clear female voice came from a distance.

Ren Dong swung his sword to cut off the arrow that was aimed at the prince, and scolded: "Director Wang, you are so brave, you dare to kill the prime minister, what crime should you deserve!"

Director Wang squinted his eyes, looking at the heroic Liandong, his heart flashed a little bad.

Liandong and he were both King Liang's people, one was lurking beside the Emperor Daxing, and the other was lurking beside the prince, in order to collect information, monitor the emperor and the prince, and even kill them when necessary.

But he has always been worried about Liandong. The girl was only seven or eight years old when she was put next to the prince. She was young and grew up with the prince. She might not be loyal enough to King Liang.

"Liandong, what do you mean? Could it be that you want to betray the master?" His eyes were stern, like a wolf of prey, "You should know how tragic the consequences of betraying the master are."

Liandong recalled the memories of her childhood, her face turned pale, her body swayed, and seeing this, the prince patted her on the back.

Liandong felt a gentle force from his back, and his wavering heart finally made a choice.

"Director Wang, you have served Emperor Daxing for decades, and now that Emperor Daxing has gone, it's time for you to rest and take care of yourself."

Manager Wang grinned grimly, "Are you determined to betray your master?"

After Liandong made her decision, she felt much relieved, and the stone of emotion and reason that was pressing on her heart was finally removed.She looked at the prince with firm eyes, "There is only one master of Lian Dong from the beginning to the end, and that is His Royal Highness the Prince."

The prince breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that Lonicera would not let her down.More than ten years of sisterhood is far better than cold orders.

Director Wang sneered, pointed at her and said, "Okay, okay, our family won't stop you anymore, our family will watch you reap the consequences and regret it."

Liandong stopped looking at Mr. Wang, and raised his plain hand, and the Imperial Forest Army behind him restrained Mr. Wang and locked him up with handcuffs.

Liandong turned around and knelt down to the prince, said coldly: "Your Highness, the emperor has passed away, and this slave will take you back to preside over the overall situation."

"When did it happen?" The prince's voice was very calm, as if he was asking what he would have for lunch today.

"last night."

Crashed!

It turned out to be true!

The Prince's shoulders suddenly slumped.

Ever since Ban Xia told her that her father might pass away last night, she couldn't help but suspect that maybe it was his father's plan to invite the king into his urn, and the assassination she encountered on the way made her feel that this was a conspiracy to eradicate her.But now Liandong clearly told her that her father really passed away.

She can finally breathe a sigh of relief, no longer need to waver, guard against her father killing her, no longer have to suffer.

"What's the situation in the palace now?"

"The two empresses are guarding the Emperor Daxing's bedroom, waiting for you to go back and preside over the funeral."

"Okay, this hall enters the palace."

"Your Highness, you..." Chen Jia held the prince's hand, feeling really worried in her heart. She had the same thoughts as the prince before. She always felt that there were many strange things in this matter. Is it safe for the prince to enter the palace alone?

The crown prince squeezed Chen Jia's palm, and hugged her into his arms, "He is my father, the Daxing Emperor of Daqi, whether I am his child or the heir apparent of Daqi, I will go back. Even if it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, I have to break through."

Chen Jia didn't understand this truth, but she was still worried, but she couldn't hinder the other party in the name of love.

"Going forward this time is full of dangers, are you really relieved to keep me?"

"I don't worry about it. No matter how much you learn and how capable you are, I don't worry about you, but I believe you will take care of yourself, right?"

Chen Jia tightened her hands and begged softly, "No, I need your care, don't leave me behind."

The prince buried his head in Chen Jia's neck, took a deep breath of the fragrance of the black hair in his arms, and said earnestly, "Jia Jia, don't let me down."

The prince stepped on the horse, turned his head and took a deep look at Chen Jia, his lips murmured for a while, and then he left with a whip.

Chen Jia looked down at the thing in his hand, and lightly stroked the dark lines on it, feeling that it was as heavy as a thousand weights.

Tang Yi, how can I deserve your trust?Half the country.

"Jiajia, don't let me down."

***

In Ganquan Palace, white curtains fluttered and paper dust filled the air. The originally spacious bedroom seemed extremely crowded because of the civil and military ministers kneeling on the floor.

The queen and concubine did not move, and the ministers below did not dare to move easily, they just knelt like this, but from morning to noon, it had been more than two hours, and the water and rice did not touch. Can't stop.

Finally, a minister with a gray beard asked the queen for an order: "Emperor Daxing has been away for a long time, and I would like to invite the two empresses to express their condolences. The most important thing now is not the funeral for Emperor Daxing?"

The queen glanced at the minister with a half-smile. "Mourning? The Emperor Daxing hasn't taken a shower yet, so he's going to have a funeral? Are you treating Emperor Daxing as a countryman? Just throw a roll of mat into the forest?"

The minister hurriedly said: "I dare not, I am terrified."

"The ministers are in panic." Other ministers who had the same thoughts also echoed.

There was a mass of dark heads underneath, the empress couldn't see everyone's expressions clearly, her two black eyebrows couldn't help but frowned, she comforted her: "I didn't intend to prevent the emperor's funeral, it's just that this country can't live without a king, Daxing The emperor's funeral needs to be presided over by the heir."

"Then where did the Crown Prince go?" The ministers finally asked the doubts in their hearts.

The queen gave the concubine a wink, and the concubine covered her face and wept: "The prince was very worried when he learned that the emperor Daxing was suffering from a serious illness. Ten years' lifespan will be exchanged for her father's health, how would you know..." Concubine Chen Gui didn't say any more, she was so sad that she couldn't make a sentence, which actually increased the authenticity of her words.

"His Royal Highness is really benevolent and filial. Then I will wait for His Royal Highness to return to the palace to preside over it." The former minister said.

Suddenly a voice came in through the wind and snow that broke the door.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for her, so let me preside over the funeral of the emperor's brother."

"Why did you come here?" The queen immediately stood up, looking at King Liang who was supposed to be in the dungeon but suddenly here, full of vigilance.

She slowly walked to the side of the noble concubine, and quietly blocked the noble concubine behind her.

"Of course I'm here to get back what belongs to me." Liang Wang's eyes were filled with determination.
