"cough--"

A heavy dry cough suddenly sounded.

Xiao Huan paused slightly, he looked at Wang Cheng who came out from behind Xiao Yan, and stopped his teeth that were about to fall on Liu Muchen's neck.

"The emperor has a decree—" Wang Cheng's shrill voice echoed in the hall, and for a moment, everyone's attention turned to him.

"Should I announce it now?" Xiao Huan smiled lightly. He pinched Chen's chin with his fingers and turned his whole face around. The vast net that covered the sky tightly trapped his body inside.

Xiao Huan looked at Liu Muchen's defenseless appearance, and the sadistic desire in his heart became stronger and stronger. He always liked such a weak and slender man, not to mention that this man was hard to find in the world, and he was the heart of his annoying seventh brother. .

Thinking of this, Xiao Huan became more and more excited. He stuck out his tongue and lightly licked Liu Muchen's earlobe...

"Xiao Huan! I'll kill you!" Xiao Yan's roar seemed to shake the entire hall down. He struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the guards behind him who were restraining him. His whole body seemed to be irritated to the wound. The fierce beast, eager to break free from the cage, tears the enemy to pieces with his sharp teeth.

Xiao Huan looked at Xiao Yan's fierce eyes, and his body trembled inexplicably, like a person lost in the jungle who accidentally encountered a poisonous snake and a bird of prey. It was an instinctive fear.

Xiao Huan gritted his teeth secretly. He tried hard to stabilize his mind, not wanting others to see his cowardice. He turned his eyes to Wang Cheng, showing a confident smile: "Your Majesty, let's declare the decree first, and settle the matter earlier. , I would also like to talk to my beauty... ah—"

He was about to rub Liu Muchen's lips with his fingers, when suddenly there was a sharp pain from his fingertips, and bright red blood flowed out, Liu Muchen spat on Xiao Huan, and said with a sneer, "Scum."

Although Xiao Huan couldn't understand what Liu Muchen was scolding, his mocking smile really stimulated Xiao Huan's nerves, and his hypocritical gentleness disappeared instantly. He raised his hand and slapped Liu Muchen hard. Liu Muchen's profile!

"Xiao Huan!!!"

Xiao Yan couldn't bear it anymore, he clenched his fists tightly, his inner strength exploded in an instant, the ferocious wind broke through the hair crown, and scattered all the soldiers around him.

Xiao Huan was startled, and hastily took out the dagger to hold Liu Muchen's neck, but Xiao Yan clamped Concubine De's neck at the same moment.

"Huan...er..." Concubine De frowned and shouted with difficulty.

Xiao Yan tried his best to maintain the last sliver of reason, he clamped the lifeblood of Concubine De with his jaws, and said to Xiao Huan: "Get your dirty hands off him, or..."

Xiao Huan gritted his teeth, he looked at Liu Muchen who was stunned by his slap, and then at his mother concubine who was about to be strangled to death by Xiao Yan, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"Huan...er..." Concubine De looked at Xiao Huan in disbelief.

Xiao Huan's eyes flickered, he avoided Concubine De's gaze, and shouted angrily to Wang Cheng: "Hurry up and announce the decree!"

Wang Cheng's face was gloomy. He took a deep look at Xiao Huan, and said leisurely: "Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor ordered that the prince Xiao Huan violated the ancestral precepts, arbitrarily formed party members, and framed loyal and good people. Every obscenity and disorder, I will What's more, I have evil intentions, harm brothers and feet, and intend to be the king. I have tolerated it until now, but I don't want to repent. , to inherit the ancestral hall, hereby!"

After the voice fell, there was no echo in the hall for a long time. Except for Wang Cheng, everyone was dumbfounded in place.

After a long time, Xiao Huan shook his head as if he had lost his soul: "No...it's impossible..."

He pulled Liu Muchen's hair and pulled him up from the ground, and shouted: "I want you to announce that Xiao Yan intends to murder his father and be deprived of his title! What are you announcing!"

Wang Cheng lowered his eyes halfway, without changing his face, he said: "The villain only declares the emperor's decree, if the emperor says he wants to abolish the crown prince, the villain will follow suit."

Xiao Huan shook his head in a panic. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face: "Father's decree? Why do you say it is Father's decree?"

He pointed to the unconscious person on the dragon couch, and said with a sneer, "He's lying here now, if I ask him to make an order, he must do it!"

Concubine Yu was thinking that things would finally turn around, but when she heard Xiao Huan's words, her eyes widened and she shouted angrily, "Shameless!"

Xiao Huan sneered, Wang Cheng glanced at him leisurely, then suddenly took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has an order, be sure to hand this thing into the hands of the prince, if something happens to him , ask the prince to use this thing to clear the court."

Eliminate the Qing dynasty?

Hearing this, Liu Muchen couldn't help turning his eyes to that thing, he could hardly see a complete thing clearly, and could only vaguely recognize that it was a square, emerald-colored thing.

"...The Imperial Jade Seal?!" Concubine Yu opened her eyes wide. She stared at the piece of jade in Xiao Yan's hand. It was four inches in diameter and was handed over by five dragons. .

Liu Muchen was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Thanks to Liu Ya's idea, even the Chuan Guo Yuxi was written on it.But since this thing has been handed over to Xiao Yan, there is nothing to worry about...

His eyelids became heavier, and the pain from Xiao Huan pulling his hair became insignificant...

"The Jade Seal of Chuanguo?" Xiao Zhan said blankly, "Is it that whoever owns it can inherit the great tradition?"

Xiao Zhan's eyes suddenly burst out with excitement, and he cast his eyes on Xiao Yan, but the latter was not as happy as he imagined.Xiao Yan's gaze was still firmly fixed on Xiao Huan's hand that was holding Liu Muchen's hair. While exerting force on Concubine De's neck, he raised the Chuan Guo Yuxi high: "Let him go!"

There was a trace of self-defeating madness in Xiao Huan's eyes, he laughed and said: "Father is really partial! Just because of your mother, you have everything in your life! Passing down the jade seal of the country? It's really justifiable... ...But don't forget, this place is all mine! If the emperor doesn't give it to you, then I will grab it!"

Xiao Yan said in a deep voice: "You don't want your concubine's life?"

Xiao Huan was slightly taken aback, he turned his head, like a puppet without emotion, his empty eyes fell on Concubine De's face, and said expressionlessly: "Concubine Mother is willing to do anything for her son, isn't she?"

Concubine De was speechless and could only shake her head desperately.

Xiao Huan asked suspiciously: "What are you doing shaking your head, concubine mother? Didn't you say that you were fed up with the previous empress and concubine's pressure on your head? Didn't you say that no matter what method you use, you will help your son ascend to the throne of God?"

Concubine De endured the pain of suffocation, and said in a hateful voice: "You... so... ruthless..."

"I'm ruthless?" Xiao Huan seemed to have heard some big joke: "You forgot that in order to get rid of Concubine Qing, you secretly joined forces with your grandfather to drug her and make her have an affair with the guards? I just wanted to save the four Brother, you let the palace people punish me, so that I can't go out for half a month... And this time, you took the medicine that your grandfather gave you, and secretly added it to the incense that your father used to make him become what he is now. Second look..."

Concubine De opened her eyes wide, she never dreamed that Xiao Huan would pour out all these secrets here.

Concubine Yu said loudly, "Concubine De! How dare you murder the emperor!"

"Does my concubine feel scared?" Xiao Huan smiled like no one else: "You don't have to be afraid, these people will die here soon, no one will know these things, let them know, the expression of resentment when they die must be It looks better..."

Xiao Huan touched Liu Muchen's eyes with his hands, and said with a light smile, "Isn't it, little beauty?"

Xiao Yan's finger bones creaked, he held the jade seal tightly, thinking about how to smash Xiao Huan's brains, a very abrupt voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "What a prince, everyone died here? Including me?"

Xiao Huan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his back stiffened in an instant.

"For so many years, every time you murdered your brothers and sisters, didn't you always look like this?"

The icy voice was like a cold sword forged in the snow, sharp and sharp, mercilessly piercing into Xiao Huan's internal organs.He opened his mouth wide, turned his head slowly, and immediately met Xiao Shixian's eyes that implied anger.

"Father... Royal Father..."

"Shut up! I don't have a son like you!"

The thunderous roar made Xiao Huan tremble all over, Xiao Yan saw the timing, flew forward, and quickly brought Liu Muchen into his arms.

Xiao Huan only felt that his hands were empty, but right now he didn't have any extra thoughts to take care of Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan. Xiao Shixian was standing in front of the dragon collapse, and his sudden waking made Xiao Huan feel that everything in front of him had turned upside down.

"Ah Chen...Ah Chen..." Xiao Yan held Liu Muchen's pale face and saw the red mark on it that was fanned by Xiao Huan, his teeth chattered and his eye sockets became moist.

Liu Muchen opened his eyes in a daze, raised his hand to touch Xiao Yan's face, and smiled with some difficulty: "Crying? It's the first time I see you crying..."

Xiao Yan lowered his head, covered the back of Liu Muchen's hand with his bare hands, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

He was slightly taken aback, and quickly pushed open Liu Muchen's sleeve, the shocking scratches on it stimulated Xiao Yan's eyes, he looked at Liu Muchen blankly, and murmured: "Ah Chen..."

Liu Muchen opened his eyes halfway, his gaze passed over Xiao Yan's shoulder, and landed on Xiao Shixian behind him: "It's not over yet..."

"Emperor... Your Majesty..." Concubine De looked at Xiao Shixian, and the fear in her heart was stronger than when Xiao Yan grabbed her neck before.

Xiao Shixian sneered and said, "It's surprising, isn't it? After taking your father's medicine, I can still live until now?"

"Emperor... Your Majesty!" Concubine De knelt down tremblingly, tightly hugged Xiao Shixian's leg with her hands, and shouted: "No! Your Majesty! Listen to my concubine's explanation!"

Xiao Shixian looked at her condescendingly, and said in a deep voice: "I knew that you, mother and son, were harboring evil intentions, but I never thought that you would be so daring! How dare you use Zhulan people's things against me!"

Concubine De burst into tears and shook her head desperately.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan immediately had support in his heart. In his heart, Xiao Shixian was a mountain that would never fall down. At this moment, his fear and fear disappeared. Xiao Zhan's eyes turned red, and he cried, "Father! They also killed three elder brother!"

Xiao Shixian showed shock, his haggard body seemed to fall down at any moment, Concubine Yu glared at Xiao Zhan, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Shixian: "Your Majesty..."

Xiao Shixian's eyes widened, and he kicked Concubine De with such force that he kicked this helpless woman until she vomited blood.

He took a deep breath, tried to suppress the grief in his heart, and shouted: "Draw this poisonous woman out and behead me!"

Concubine De coughed, "Your Majesty!"

Without waiting for Xiao Shixian to make another order, Xiao Huan suddenly jumped up from the ground, and shouted at the guards he brought from the East Palace: "What are you doing! Hurry up and punish these rebellious ministers and thieves who deceived the Holy Spirit on the spot! "

The guards looked at each other in blank dismay. They were from the East Palace. It was nothing to help Xiao Huan deal with Xiao Yan, but now Xiao Shixian woke up. Can you guarantee that this person who can poison his father, abandon his mother and kill his brother will kill them?

It was this moment of hesitation that made Xiao Huan feel cold from head to toe.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the situation is over, can't you see it?" A faint voice came from outside, and Xiao Heng walked into the hall dressed in white. The embarrassment of being in prison.

"See the emperor!"

Xiao Shixian looked at Xiao Heng, and a faint smile appeared on his always gloomy face: "Get up."

Xiao Heng got up, and inadvertently caught sight of Liu Muchen and Xiao Yan who were sitting in the corner. He frowned slightly, wondering if he had seen Liu Muchen's situation clearly, and just nodded slightly towards him.

Xiao Huan's eyes widened, he turned his gaze to Wang Cheng, and asked, "What's going on?! I didn't ask you to give them all..."

The corner of Xiao Heng's mouth twitched into a mocking smile: "The prince has followed the emperor since he was a child, does your highness think that you are really capable of letting him support you?"

Xiao Huan was stunned, and in an instant, his expression became extremely ferocious: "Wang Cheng! How dare you let them out!"

Wang Cheng said indifferently: "The villain said that the villain only listens to His Majesty's orders."

Xiao Huan shook his head, still unwilling to face the current situation, he murmured: "But obviously you told me Xiao Heng to sneak into the inner palace, so I can..."

"Can you charge me with an assassination charge?" Xiao Heng sneered and said, "Your Highness, why do you think the emperor woke up suddenly, and why did the situation turn around like this?"

Xiao Huan is not a fool. According to Xiao Yan's words, his belly is full of little Jiujiu related to conspiracies and tricks. He feels that his plan is flawless. The only miscalculation is that Xiao Shixian will wake up suddenly.

According to Defei and Pan Xu's arrangement, the dose of the medicine should be enough, and in order to deceive others, they deliberately selected poisons that are difficult to distinguish the symptoms, and the properties of the medicine slowly seeped into the body until the poison occurred. Xiao Shixian actually stood up alive!

"You have made up your mind that I will definitely die from poison, right?" Xiao Shixian stared at Xiao Huan with heavy eyes, as if he was looking at a dead object: "Before Heng'er sneaked in here, I was indeed unconscious. "

Xiao Huan looked at Xiao Heng, and finally realized something was wrong: "You cured my father's poison?!"

"Impossible." Concubine De suddenly said, seeing that Xiao Shixian had made up his mind to deal with them today, she simply broke into a deadly net, her bright red lips curled up slightly, and she showed an extremely distorted smile: "This medicine has no cure at all. , Even if you want to alleviate the toxicity, if you don’t know what medicine and formula it is, there is no way to do it, you can’t detoxify.”

Xiao Shixian was trembling with anger at her words, if not for Concubine Yu's support, he might have fallen down a long time ago.

Xiao Heng looked at Concubine De coldly: "You are right, there is indeed no cure for this medicine, but it is not difficult to know what medicine it is that can alleviate the toxicity."

"Whispering..."

"It's not just talking nonsense." An unfamiliar yet familiar voice sounded in De Fei's ears, she was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.

Han Ke pushed a wooden wheelchair and walked forward, and there was a person sitting on it, it was Pan Xiao who had been locked up in the mansion all year round.Behind them was a large group of Imperial Forest Army led by Yi Jiang. They were controlled by the people from the Eastern Palace before, but fortunately Han Ke brought Xiao Yan's troops outside again, which solved the dilemma.

"You..." Concubine De looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her as if she had seen a ghost. Her lips trembled and she murmured: "Brother..."

Pan Xiao didn't even give her a look. He asked Han Ke to push himself in front of Xiao Shixian, bowed his head and said, "See Your Majesty, the grass people are inconvenient in their legs and feet, so they can't give the full salute. I hope the Emperor will forgive me."

Xiao Shixian shook his head, his eyes fell on Pan Xiao, and he was full of emotion: "I didn't believe it when Heng'er told me. I didn't expect Aiqing to be alive. Back then... hey, it's really shocking to be in such a situation today... Sad."

Pan Xiao casually smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The grass people have long since let go. Besides, if I hadn't been imprisoned in the tower by Pan Xu, I wouldn't know what medicine he used, and Heng Er wouldn't be able to relieve His Majesty's worries."

"Closed in the tower?" Concubine De's eyes fell on Pan Xiao. This sudden change made him stunned: "What is locked in the tower? What's going on?!"

Pan Xiao glanced at him and said calmly, "Didn't Pan Xu tell you?"

Concubine De: "..."

Pan Xiao raised the corners of his lips, and the mocking smile on his face was exactly the same as that of Xiao Heng: "When you are in prison, you can ask him yourself. But I wonder if he can open up to your daughter a little bit when he is about to die."

Concubine De opened her mouth, unable to utter a word for a while.

Xiao Heng: "Where's Ge Feng?"

Pan Xiao: "Feng'er and Mr. Wei went to arrest Pan Xu. I heard that he has mobilized many people from outside Beijing."

Xiao Heng sneered: "No matter how much you mobilize, it will be a waste of effort. My father's army is now pressing outside the city. If we unite with Han Xun..."

Xiao Huan glanced around in bewilderment, until now, he really realized the meaning of the words "the general situation is over".When the dagger fell to the ground, Xiao Huan's mouth raised a meaningless wry smile, and he said: "You have already planned it?"

"It's me." Xiao Shixian said in a deep voice: "Heng'er relieved the effect of the medicine for me. I could have investigated you immediately, but when I think of those henchmen behind you, I can't help but want to uproot you."

Xiao Huan chuckled: "So the emperor secretly ordered Wang Cheng to "turn against" my son, and even Xiao Heng sneaked into the palace, he deliberately reported it, just to make my son reveal his flaws quickly?"

Xiao Shixian looked at Xiao Huan silently. The latter seemed to be possessed by something, and murmured: "What happened tonight was also a game set up by Father Huang and Wang Cheng?"

Xiao Shixian: "If it weren't for that, how could I have thought that you really dare to disobey the holy order, and even want to kill me?!"

He raised his hand, and the imperial army led by Yi Jiang immediately surrounded Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan is like a puppet who has lost his soul, his eyes have become extremely hollow: "If I don't do anything, my father will depose my son sooner or later. My father doesn't like to be controlled by others. Back then, I made my son the crown prince." , it’s just out of Tai/Zu’s will, otherwise the person sitting on this seat today should be the seventh younger brother.”

Xiao Shixian closed his eyes, turned his back to Xiao Huan, and didn't want to say a single unnecessary word.

Even if you don't like it, you are still a father and son who are connected by blood. At this point, even being a stranger has become a luxury.

After a wave of Fang Ping, everyone began to worry secretly again: Xiao Shixian's poison could not be completely cured, Xiao Huan was abolished, Xiao Yi was dead, so the future master of Tiande...

"Seventh brother?" Xiao Zhan called out tentatively, but only Xiao Yan's stiff back responded.

When Xiao Heng greeted Liu Muchen earlier, he felt that there was something wrong with him, but now seeing Xiao Yan like this, the feeling of uneasiness in his heart suddenly became stronger.

He exchanged a look with Pan Xiao, and everyone followed behind them, walking to Xiao Yan and Liu Muchen together...

"Muchen?!"

Han Ke opened his eyes wide, unable to believe what he saw.

Liu Muchen's mouth was half open, the sides of his lips were bloodless, his eyes seemed to be covered with bluish-black eye makeup, and there were purple dots oozing inside, oppressing his eyeballs heavily. They were peach blossom eyes with aura of agility, and they no longer had the brilliance of the past.And for some reason, his arms were full of bright red scratches, half of which were covered by Xiao Yan's hands, and the other half that could not be covered were just exposed to the air, and in some places, even the flesh was turned over. .

Han Ke covered his mouth, tears streaming down unconsciously.

"Ah Heng." Pan Xiao frowned, he glanced at Xiao Heng, and the two reached out to Liu Muchen in a tacit understanding.

Xiao Shixian glanced at Imperial Physician Li who was hanging in the corner, the latter understood and hurried forward to help.

"No need..." Liu Muchen spoke slowly, his voice was like the sound of stones rubbing against sandpaper.

He raised his limp hands to stop Xiao Heng's attempt to move his body.

"I want to lie here for a while longer..." Liu Muchen looked at Xiao Yan in a daze. The latter was like a stone sculpture, except for staring at the person in his arms, he didn't even have a facial expression.

"Aren't you going to talk to me?" Liu Muchen twitched the corners of his mouth, put his hand on Xiao Yan's face, and rubbed it lightly: "I'm leaving, and you didn't even give me a last word. ?”

Xiao Yan's body trembled suddenly, he raised his hand, and tightly grasped Liu Muchen's wrist.The latter stared at his black jade-like eyes, and said with a light smile: "Fool... I know you must be thinking, if you say it, I really have to go, if you don't say it, maybe I won't be reconciled. If you hang your breath here, you won’t leave, will you?”

The corners of Xiao Yan's lips twitched slightly, and the force on Liu Muchen's wrist became more and more intense.

"I knew it." Liu Muchen smiled helplessly, his face was as pale as paper, and he was so weak that he seemed to die at any moment: "What a fool...how did I fall on you?"

Xiao Yan had a sore nose, and he felt his eye sockets swell.He moved Liu Muchen's hand to his lips, and drooped his head desperately.

"Xiao Yan...do you still remember what Wang Po said about ghosts taking away souls?" Liu Muchen said slowly, "I've often been thinking recently, if there is such a way, even if I want to go to hell in the future, I still have to borrow it... ..."

His eyelids were so heavy that it was difficult to lift them, and only through the warmth of his hands could he feel Xiao Yan's presence.

"... In this way, I can stay by your side for a few more years, and watch you accomplish great things and rule the world... When you become famous, I can use your name to show off outside... Wait until the whole world I know that after you like me, even if I leave, you will not forget me..."

Xiao Yan shouted with red eyes: "Of course I won't forget you!"

A familiar voice rang in his ears, Liu Muchen slowly closed his eyes, the smile almost spread across his entire face, and he said triumphantly, "You finally spoke."

Xiao Yan suddenly raised his head, but tears were streaming down his face. Like a bewildered child, he held Liu Muchen tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to melt him into his own flesh and blood.

"That was all nonsense just now..." Liu Muchen chuckled, "For you, I can't do that kind of immoral thing... But, there is one sentence that didn't lie to you..."

Liu Muchen slowly moved his hand to Xiao Yan's chest. He couldn't even open his eyes, but he felt hot liquid pouring down from the corners of his eyes, and the smile he tried to maintain finally collapsed at the last moment of his life: "Xiao Yan Yan...I really want to..."

The energy in his body was completely drained, and Liu Muchen's hand fell from the air. He didn't know if Xiao Yan heard his words, as if he couldn't hear Xiao Yan's heart-piercing roar and the cries of the people around him.

Only the words he wanted to say to Xiao Yan remained in his mind, that request that seemed too extravagant in the face of death...

"I really want to stay with you for a while longer."
