Lord, I will write novels to support you

Zhu Wenzhen looked directly at the emperor's uncle, and replied calmly: "I haven't done it, why should I admit it?"

"You haven't done it?"

Zhu Changcun raised his hand over his shoulder, and his deputy handed a secret order and a tiger talisman to Zhu Changcun. Zhu Changcun took it and threw it directly in front of Zhu Wenzhen.

"Didn't this secret order come from you? This tiger talisman was found in your Prince Jing's mansion. Zhao Mang has confessed that he was ordered by you to gather tens of thousands of elite cavalry outside the east and west corner gates of the capital to prepare to attack the city. Hou Feng also admitted to cooperating with him."

"When I led the troops here, I saw the gate of the city was wide open. If Zechen hadn't rushed to send a secret message to the north to tell me that if I couldn't arrive early this morning, the capital might have fallen by now?"

Zhu Changcun hadn't finished speaking, and outside the hall, the doctor of the Qiuju Division of the Ministry of Criminal Justice asked to see him. Zhu Changcun's heir came in, and saw several people carrying the blood-soaked doctor Hu into the hall, and presented him with the charge of painting and arrest.

Zhu Changcun threw the accusation on the ground beside the tiger amulet, "Zhu Wenzhen, I always thought you were simple-minded and not a child who would do bad things. Now it seems that I was wrong. You are so vicious that you even poisoned your own biological father." the point?"

"Now hand over the antidote and confess all the crimes. When your father is out of danger, I will intercede for you and save your life."

Zhu Wenzhen glanced at the evidence and witnesses all over the floor, and then looked at his younger brother standing behind Zhu Changcun, "Zhu Wenqi, you are so calculating!"

Zhu Wenqi stepped forward and stood behind Zhu Changcun, frowning deeply, his face full of confusion, "Brother, you did something wrong, why are you still obsessed at this point, and you still want to bite me back?"

Zhu Wenzhen's body shook twice, his fever persisted, every part of his body hurt, his head was dizzy, and he could only try to maintain the last trace of clarity. Knowing that he was no match for his brother's sophistry, he could only look at Zhu Changcun.

"Uncle Huang, Zhu Wenqi framed me in this matter, and he arranged all the evidence and witnesses. I hope Uncle Huang will investigate clearly."

"Father was in good health in the early morning court today. Zhu Wenqi became poisoned when he saw him alone in the afternoon. Eunuch Hong Rong can also testify to this matter. So strange, don't the emperor find it suspicious?"

Zhu Changcun was certified, and this matter was notified by the prince's secret report. Based on Zhu Wenzhen's one-sided words, he did not believe that the prince would engage in such a big fight to frame his brother, but since Zhu Wenzhen mentioned it, Zhu Changcun still looked at it. Looking at the prince behind him, "Is what he said true?"

The crown prince shook his head: "I did come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the afternoon, but it was my father who called me here. Hong Rong must be aware of this, and I am not the father who met alone. Mu'er was there all the time. She can Testify for me."

Zhu Wenzhen glanced at Zhu Mu, saw that her head was drooping very low and said nothing, then she looked at her younger brother again, "Why did your father call you over? What is the reason why you were banned in the East Palace by your father during this time? Do you dare to speak in front of everyone? The case of the Zhang family teahouse, what did you plan secretly, do you dare to explain it clearly in front of the emperor's uncle? Is it because I bite you back, or is it because you were found out by the emperor that you have a rebellious heart? , desperate to kill?"

Zhu Changcun frowned when he heard the words, and turned to look at the prince, "What Zhang's teahouse? What's the matter?"

The prince was silent for a while, then smiled and shook his head, "Uncle, when I sent you a secret letter about the Zhang family teahouse, I didn't find out the truth, so I didn't mention it in the letter, it was my negligence. Yes, I hope Uncle Huang will forgive me."

The prince stared at Zhu Wenzhen with an injured look on his face after being wronged, "Brother, I wanted to save some face for you, and I wanted to save some face for the Tian family, so I never mentioned this matter, but since my brother himself If you don’t call yourself, then I don’t need to hide it for you.”

"In the matter of Zhang's teahouse, you bribed the Chanyizong and Xinghe gang, let Zhang Ling trick me into going to the teahouse, plotted an assassination, and tried to take my life. Investigate the truth."

"You have a guilty conscience, you escaped from the palace overnight, secretly contacted the Chanyi Sect, and helped them escape, and even the famous anonymous author in the capital was actually the number one assassin in the world that you bought to kill me. In the house, do some nasty things all day long, do you think your father doesn't know about it at all?"

"The reason my father called me here is because I found out the truth about Zhang's teahouse, and after further investigation from that case, I found that you formed a party for personal gain, and even got involved in the prison factory, flying fish guards, and imperial guards, which are directly under the control of your father. .”

"Father was heartbroken and told me that I couldn't save your life anymore. I begged for you at that time, but Father had already despaired of you, and only said that he would deal with this matter as soon as possible. Unexpectedly...you jumped the wall in a hurry, yes Royal father strikes!"

Hearing his younger brother's faceless words that confuse black and white, Zhu Wenzhen trembled with hatred, and laughed loudly, "Full of nonsense! I want to confront the Zhang family and call Zhang Ling over here! I want to confront the Xinghe Gang!"

The prince replied calmly: "After the incident, you urged Marquis Ding'an to send Prince Zhang to the Jiangnan tea ceremony to avoid the limelight. All members of the Xinghe Gang were wiped out, and no one was left alive. Have these brothers forgotten? Or do you remember, Is it just a play and a pretense?"

"Brother wants to confront someone, but I have a suggestion. Why don't you call the assassin over for questioning? He seems to be in Dali Temple now?"

"Oh no, even if he comes here, he will definitely not admit it, because he is brother's confinement, and he sleeps and eats with his brother, even if he dies, he will cover up his dirty things, right? "

Zhu Wenzhen's whole body was drenched in cold sweat, his cold clothes were pressed tightly against his chest and back, his wet hair was messily stuck to his face, his trembling lips could not see a trace of blood, and he could only hold the blade to the ground with difficulty. Let yourself fall.

In desperation, he looked at Zhu Mu who had always been hiding behind the prince, "Muer, when my father saw the prince for the last time, since you were there, you knew the truth, right? You see, my father regards you as the same For your own sake, save him and tell the truth, okay?"

Zhu Changcun took a step forward and held his daughter's trembling hands, "Son, don't be afraid, what do you know, just tell it."

Zhu Mu lowered his head very low, and after a long time, Fang slowly said: "What brother Zechen said is the truth..."

Zhu Wenzhen's last shred of reason was gone, and he felt dizzy, and pointed at Zhu Mu with a knife: "Lie! The few love words Zhu Wenqi made up have deceived you into listening to him everything?! How can you be so stupid? , so ungrateful! You don't even care about my father's life, but you want to help that bastard do evil!"

Zhu Changcun raised the scabbard, lifted Zhu Wenzhen's knife directly, and said coldly: "Mu'er never lies. Mr. Xiang, don't make unnecessary sophistry."

Zhu Wenzhen's knife was thrown to the ground, making a series of crackling sounds, his body swayed twice, unable to hold on any longer, and knelt on the ground.

Hong Rong rushed forward and hugged Zhu Wenzhen tightly, "Your Highness...it's the fault of this old slave. This old slave shouldn't have gone looking for you... This old slave has harmed you and His Majesty..."

Zhu Changcun has the emperor's secret edict, and he can exercise the important task of supervising the country during special periods. This has long been an open secret in the Jin Dynasty.

Seeing Zhu Wenzhen collapsed on the ground in a daze, and no longer trying to defend himself against the witnesses all over the floor, Zhu Changcun asked again in a deep voice: "Would you like to admit your mistake and hand over the antidote?"

Zhu Wenzhen raised his head and looked at the emperor's uncle blankly, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without waves or ripples.

Zhu Changcun sighed, and wanted to give Zhu Wenzhen one last chance before the situation was irretrievable, "Mr. Xiang, the emperor believes that you are still a simple and good boy. Maybe you were deceived and bewitched by someone so you went the wrong way. You Hand over the antidote, tell the whole story of the incident, Uncle Huang assures you that you will keep your title of King Jing, okay?"

Zhu Wenzhen looked at Zhu Changcun with wide eyes, but there was no light in his eyes. After a long silence, he called "Uncle Emperor" in a hoarse voice.

Zhu Changcun's head was scratched, and he bent down to approach Zhu Wenzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, and his voice softened, "Son, go ahead."

Zhu Wenzhen swallowed his throat, the pain was severe, his voice was trembling, "I...I want to see the emperor's grandmother."

Zhu Changcun breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes forcefully, stood up straight, and the family affection he had originally cared about disappeared.

The prince's voice sounded behind Zhu Changcun, "Brother Xiangjun, the imperial grandmother is ill and is recuperating in the summer resort. It's okay for the elder brother to refuse to let go of his mistake. He will drag the imperial grandmother into this matter again, so that her old man will be embarrassed." Is it peaceful?"

Zhu Wenzhen looked at his younger brother and burst out laughing with tears in his eyes. There was not even hatred left in his eyes, only despair.

Zhu Changcun took out the emperor's secret edict from the inner pocket of the front breastplate, raised his hand over his shoulder, "Because your majesty is not feeling well, from now on, I will be appointed as the supervisor of the country together with the prince Zhu Wenqi."

Looking at the thin figure kneeling on the ground again, "Transfer King Jing Zhu Wenzhen to Zongzheng Temple for investigation."

Several of Zhu Changcun's guards raised their knives and lifted Zhu Wenzhen, who was lying on the ground without any resistance, and prepared to go out of the hall.

Lin Heshu lost his mind when he heard the words "Zongzheng Temple". Seeing Zhu Wenzhen being dragged away, he repeatedly shouted "No" like crazy, and rushed forward to hug Zhu Wenzhen's shoulders, "My son is not He will do treasonous things, he is wronged, and will live forever, you can’t just listen to slander and frame him like this, my son will never do treasonable things!"

Zhu Changcun looked at the queen coldly, "My queen, I don't believe in slander, I only look at the evidence, if Mr. Xiang is really wronged, Zongzheng Temple will clear him up."

Lin Heshu shook his head vigorously: "No, no! My son was in poor health when he was young, and he can't go to a place like Zongzheng Temple. You can't treat him like this! Changcun, Xiang'er was also raised by you, and he will never do it. Don't do anything to poison his father, trust him!"

Lin Heshu is his own emperor's wife, and Zhu Changcun wants to respect her, but he thinks that the mother of a country should understand the truth that the harem should not be involved in politics, but now it seems that he thinks highly of this sister-in-law.

Zhu Changcun stood there without saying a word, listening to Lin Heshu's louder and louder yelling, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more serious as she raised the volume.

The prince came to Zhu Changcun's side, bent down to help Lin Heshu's arm, "Mother, I am also your biological son, why do you believe in my brother but not me?"

Lin Heshu trembled violently as if struck by lightning when he felt the prince grabbing his arm, and pulled his arm out of the prince's hand in a panic, "Don't touch me! You are not my son! I am not You are such a son! Why are you thinking so viciously? After killing your father, you still want to blame your own brother! What did my son do to you, you want to hurt him like this!"

A trace of cruelty flashed across the prince's eyes, and he quickly put on a gentle disguise, "The empress is frightened. Since the empress is not feeling well, don't hold on. Someone, help the empress to go back to the palace to rest."

A row of guards outside the hall took orders and dragged Lin Heshu to separate her from Zhu Wenzhen.

Zhu Changcun turned sideways, deliberately moved out of the way, and watched Lin Heshu cry and be dragged out of the hall with cold eyes.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation became quiet again. The concubines, princes, and servants kneeling beside the emperor's bed tried their best to hold their breath, and the sound of sobbing was suppressed.

Zhu Changcun looked at Zhu Wenzhen for a moment, "Take him down."

Zhu Wenzhen still didn't resist at all, but when he was dragged past Zhu Changcun, he said weakly, "Uncle Emperor..."

Zhu Changcun turned his head and looked at Zhu Wenzhen's pale face covered with sweat.

"Uncle Huang, you don't need to believe me, but I beg you, protect the safety of my royal father, and don't let Ze Chen's people approach him."

A little surprise appeared in Zhu Changcun's eyes, he stared at Zhu Wenzhen's cloudy eyes for a while, and then nodded slowly.

Zhu Wenzhen was taken down and locked in a cold cell, but he did not wait for the expected torture trial.

Someone brought tea to eat, but Zhu Wenzhen didn't dare to eat or drink. He could only hug his knees and curl up in a corner. His body was getting hotter and hotter. I couldn't help trembling.

In a trance, there were small footsteps approaching, followed by the crisp sound of the chain being opened.

Zhu Wenzhen raised his head with difficulty, and saw his younger brother walking slowly in front of him.

"Brother Xiangjun." The prince's voice was calm.

Zhu Wenzhen lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him, "What are you doing here?"

The prince glanced at the tea and food on the table, "Brother, eat something, don't starve to death." After a pause, he laughed, "Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

He picked up the teacup from the table, poured a cup, took a sip himself, and brought it to Zhu Wenzhen.

Zhu Wenzhen looked at the cool light brown tea in the bowl, and swallowed.

The prince sent the teacup to Zhu Wenzhen again, "Don't worry, brother, it's already this time, I don't need to hurt you anymore."

Zhu Wenzhen stared at the tea for a while, he was really thirsty, picked up the teacup and poured the water into his stomach.

The prince looked at Zhu Wenzhen's distressed appearance, and his expression was a little complicated. He took Zhu Wenzhen's empty tea cup, poured another cup, and handed it to Zhu Wenzhen again, "Brother, drink slowly, don't choke, no one is following you You grab it."

Zhu Wenzhen took the teacup again, this time he was no longer so eager, and only sipped it cautiously.

The prince looked at the two drops of tea dripping from the corners of Zhu Wenzhen's lips, and stretched out his hand to wipe it off for him. Just as his fingers were about to touch the other's cheek, Zhu Wenzhen turned his head away.

Zhu Wenzhen's face was full of panic and panic, his shoulders shrunk, and he curled up into a ball, trying his best to move to the corner of the wall, wishing he could get into the wall directly.

The prince frowned tightly, "Brother, are you afraid of me?"

Zhu Wenzhen shook his head, mustered up the courage to look up at his younger brother, "Ze Chen, I beg you, let Father Emperor go, and hand over the antidote, okay?"

"As long as you are willing to save Royal Father, I can do whatever you want. I will help you bear the burden of your crimes... the wrong things you have done, and I will admit them all. I just ask you to let Royal Father go."

The prince put on an extremely confused expression, "What is my brother talking about? Didn't my brother do those crimes and wrong things in the first place? What does it have to do with me? What does it mean to bear it for me?"

Zhu Wenzhen's consciousness was chaotic, so he could only nod his head vigorously, "Okay, it's me, I did it, Zechen, hand over the antidote, okay?"

The prince took a step forward and raised his hand to caress Zhu Wenzhen's temples, but seeing Zhu Wenzhen leaning his head on the wall with all his strength to hide from him, he could only retract his hand in embarrassment, "Brother, why are you talking so inexplicably? You poisoned the emperor?" Since you did it, how could the antidote be with me?"

Zhu Wenzhen couldn't afford to play these word games with his younger brother anymore, so he just shook his head and said bitterly: "Zechen, my father loves and trains you so much, how can you let go? You are already the prince, and the seat will be yours sooner or later. Why are you in a hurry to do such a thing that is not as good as a beast?"

"Even if you did something wrong with the Zhang family teahouse, I didn't expose you, just to keep your crown prince, why are you still refusing to let my father and me go?"

Zhu Wenqi stared at his brother's delicate and beautiful face, remained silent for a long time, took off his disguise, and laughed softly.

"Zhu Wenzhen, do you really think that my father loves and nurtures me? Do you know why I have always taken care of you since I was a child?"

"Your father arranged for me to do this."

"You have been raised by him as the crown prince since you were born. Even if you are lazy, ignorant, and playful, in his eyes, you are always the only one worthy of the position of crown prince."

"I work harder than you, I am better than you, I am smarter than you, and I am more suitable to be a prince than you, but he doesn't care about these things. He just wants to use me to urge you to study. He knows that you are the eldest son, but he wants me to be the younger brother." Control your study, control your progress?"

"From childhood to adulthood, no matter how well I did, when he tested my knowledge, the first question he always asked was whether I took good care of you."

"No matter how much I do and how well I do, it's just your foil!"

"I am also the biological son of Zhu Houxue and Lin Heshu, but they have never given me half a share of true fatherly love and motherly love. They love you dearly, and you will always be the only one who loves you. When you come to me, you will only be alienated and jealous!"

"Why?"

"Because I was born two years later than you, I am short of you in everything? From the small things like teacher, daily tribute, big to the position of prince, marriage wife, they will always give you the best first, but I just want to give you the best." Is it worthy to pick up what you have left, or you don't want to give me alms?!"

"Even the name, you are called Jun, I only deserve to be called Chen!"

"You ask yourself, you're so stupid, you're so lazy, do you deserve that stuff and that love?"

The prince looked ruthless, his eyes were tearing apart when he said these words, and he no longer had the gentle pretense of the past.

Zhu Wenzhen looked at his younger brother's distorted face, was stunned for a long time, and lowered his eyes helplessly.

He never knew that his younger brother had such thoughts in his heart...

"Zecchen, you, you misunderstood, father and queen, they love you..."

Zhu Wenqi laughed loudly, "You stand in the best position and occupy all their preferences, but you still come to tell me that they love me?"

"What do you understand? Have you seen the look in my eyes when the mother met me alone? Have you heard the words that the father and the emperor said to me when he summoned me alone? You don't understand anything at all, because the darkest and filthiest They never show it to you, because they have always loved only you!"

"They kept you in the greenhouse, but only left me in the mud. In their hearts, I'm not even a son!"

After a long silence, Zhu Wenqi closed his eyes hard, sighed, and sneered twice, "But it's all over now, and I took back from you one by one those things that Zhu Houxue didn't want to give me, and I will replace them." Zhu Houxue has become a generation of Mingjun who is much better than him."

As Zhu Wenqi said, he took a step forward and shrouded his brother in his shadow.

Looking at his elder brother's frightened kitten, Zhu Wenqi smiled with satisfaction, revealing two small canine teeth that looked gentle and harmless.

"Tonight, Zhu Wenzhen, the eldest son of the imperial family, will commit suicide in Zongzheng Temple because of his guilt and conspiracy. From then on, there will be no King Jing in this world."

Zhu Wenqi raised his hand, ignoring Zhu Wenzhen's resistance, and caressed his cheek, "But brother, don't worry, you are the only relative I love most in this world, and you are the only one who loves me as my own brother, so I have only paid for you sincere."

"I don't want to kill you. I will erase your identity, hoarse your voice, cut off your tendons and hamstrings, and keep you in my heart-nourishing palace. I will let you take a good look at it for the rest of your life. How to firmly control this country in the palm of the hand."

"Brother doesn't like to live a life of idleness? I'll help you! I will take good care of my brother, let you have no worries about food and clothing, enjoy life every day, and spend the rest of your life in peace."

"How does brother feel?"

After Wu Shouze heard that Gu Ting said that he had received a secret report that he assisted King Jing in rebelling, he already felt that something was wrong, but after arguing with Gu Ting, Gu Ting was so stupid that his anger prevailed , Forgot to delve into the conspiracy behind this matter.

Now being pointed out by Tang Ke, I suddenly feel that I was plotted against.

Wu Shouze thought for a moment, and said: "This matter may not be the reason for Chong Xiangjun's downfall, but it may also be to prevent us from meeting the saint."

Tang Ke's complexion was extremely bad. He shook his head and stared at the shackles on his hands and feet. "It must be aimed at Xiang'er. The crown prince wants to attack him. I'm going out now to make sure he's safe."

Wu Shouze said: "When you and I were in Dali Temple, I had already ordered someone to deliver the news to the palace. Your Majesty will summon us soon. At that time, we will explain the whole story clearly, and you will naturally be able to go back to Mr. Xiang Your Highness."

Tang Ke shook his head, he couldn't wait for a moment when it came to Xiang'er's safety, "Wang Che came here with the emperor's handbook, why did he have the handbook? The prince's people have infiltrated into the group of people who serve the emperor most closely Go, the news you deliver to the palace may not really be able to reach the ears of the emperor."

This was also what Wu Shouze was most afraid of. They might still be one step too late.

He sighed softly, raised his hand, and jingled the heavy chain on his wrist, "But you and I are trapped here now, and we can't get out even if we want to. There's a key, or no one can hit—eh?"

Wu Shouze was halfway through speaking, when he looked up and saw that Tang Ke had already taken off the chains on his hands and feet, and began to check the condition of the cell door lock.

Tang Ke observed for a while, then turned to see Wu Shouze looking at him with his mouth wide open, and explained casually: "I am a member of Chanyi Sect, and unlocking is my basic professional skill."

"Ah," Wu Shouze nodded stiffly, "Then your professional ethics...is really admirable."

Tang Ke said "thank you", and while the head of the cell was patrolling to the other side, he squatted down and pried the lock, opened the door of the cell, and sneaked up on a soldier who was alone nearby, snatched his knife, and then with the fastest speed After finishing off a group of people in the duty room, he found his Wind Sword from the storage room, picked up the sword and went out the door.

Wu Shouze rushed over, dragging the chains on his hands and feet and jingling.

Tang Ke paused and looked at him blankly.

Wu Shouze glanced at Tang Ke, then squatted down to touch the key at the waist of the jailer who had been knocked unconscious by Tang Ke.

"Master Wu... what are you doing?"

Wu Shouze tried a few keys, and finally opened the shackles on his hands. He let out a very happy cry, and continued to look for the keys to the shackles on his feet. During this time, he raised his eyelids to look at Tang Ke, "Let's escape from prison together with you."

"I'll just go and find Xiang'er by myself. If Mr. Wu leaves so recklessly, the charges that could have been cleared may not be clear."

Wu Shouze raised his hand and said, "Originally it can't be washed off. How can I explain it clearly when you're gone? Besides, you're right. I'm afraid something happened in the palace. There will be no eggs under the nest. After you remind me, I need to wash it off." I have to meet the Holy Majesty as soon as possible, there is no delay."

Tang Ke didn't insist anymore, squatted down and helped him unshackle his feet, and went out with him.

It has been a long time since there was a jailbreak in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and there are not many officers and soldiers guarding it outside. "I just took a rough look, and there are about 20 people on the way from this prison door to the side door," Wu Shouze followed Tang Ke. Then he whispered, "You and I are weak, it's not easy to deal with so many people at once, I'll lead the way later, and distract most of them first, you—huh?"

Halfway through Wu Shouze's words, Tang Ke raised his sword and went out without any intention of asking him to help attract people.

Wu Shouze was very dissatisfied with Tang Ke's reckless behavior. He wanted to catch up and try to save the bad situation, but he saw that Tang Ke had knocked down most of the officers and soldiers, and rushed directly to the side door, blocking the way of all the officers and soldiers, so as not to let anyone Escape to inform.

It is an extremely simple and crude but effective combat method...

Wu Shouze went forward and helped knock down two yamen servants who were about to retreat. Then he looked up and found that all the remaining officers and soldiers were lying on the ground.

Wu Shouze looked at Tang Ke with a complicated expression. Tang Ke had no time to pay attention to him, so he said "go" in a deep voice, then turned and went out through the side door.

The two went back to Tang Ke's small house first, and when they heard the imperial guards guarding outside the courtyard say that Zhu Wenzhen was led back to the palace by Hong Rong, Tang Ke felt like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, and the true energy around him was buzzing with the Wind Sword He couldn't care less about anything, turned around and ran towards the palace.

Wu Shouze chased after him and shouted all the way, but he couldn't stop him. He chased to the foot of the palace, and saw Tang Ke standing outside the palace wall several people high, looking in the direction of the palace gate.

Wu Shouze caught up, supported his waist, and stood beside Tang Ke gasping for breath. After seeing the direction of the palace gate, his face sank, "The guards guarding the main gate have all changed...they are all from the prince. It really is a change of heaven." It's..."

Tang Ke turned around with a sullen face and walked along the palace wall.

Wu Shouze chased after him helplessly, "The roof of this palace wall is full of poisonous thorns. If you can't turn it over, even if you turn it over, it will be immediately restrained by the patrolling guards and the watching bow|crossbowmen."

Tang Ke withdrew his gaze and looked at Wu Shouze, as if he didn't hear the other party's words at all, he just asked: "Master Wu, where do you turn in, the closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

Wu Shouze was stunned, "Go east, there is a sentry box, facing the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but it is heavily guarded, you can't get in, why not go from the west, I know there is a palace in the west who buys and goes in and out The corner door, sneak in from there—eh?”

Before Wu Shouze finished speaking, Tang Ke had already gone to the east, and threw a sentence at him: "I will go directly over the wall to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Master Wu, sneak in through the west corner gate. When I find Xiang'er, I will raise you with you." The roof of the heart hall meets."

Looking at the back of Tang Ke holding up his sword and leaving resolutely, Wu Shouze stood there for a long time without recovering.

Why can someone talk about climbing the palace wall and breaking into the emperor's bedroom as naturally as breaking through the windows of one's own house?

And why would someone set the meeting point at such an inexplicable place as the roof of the palace?Can't you pick a place that is not so easy to be shot to death by crossbow | arrows?

Wu Shouze had no chance to ask these questions, and Tang Ke had already disappeared from his sight.

Wu Shouze shook his head helplessly and went west. People who debuted as Xindao Assassins are different. Their way of thinking about problems is much fresher and refined than those who debuted as bodyguards.

Wu Shouze stood guard at the west corner gate for a while, stopped a young eunuch, snatched the other's clothes and badges, sneaked into the palace, used his limited thief skills to avoid the patrolling guards, and finally touched the Hall of Mental Cultivation , and saw Tang Ke squatting on the roof at a glance.

Wu Shouze looked around, and realized that the roof that Tang Ke was guarding at this time seemed random, but it was actually an excellent hiding place, just enough to avoid guard posts in all directions, and couldn't help sighing again. Tang Ke's professional ability is solid.

Tang Ke saw Wu Shouze and asked him with his eyes, what are you doing on the ground in a daze?

Wu Shouze quickly turned over and squatted on the roof side by side with Tang Ke.

"Your Majesty has an accident, and you are unconscious on the bed," Tang Ke said in a deep voice, "The guards inside and outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation are not the guards of the palace, but the people in the northern barracks, the man guarding the side of Your Majesty's bed... Is it Zhu Changcun, King of Zhenbei?"

Wu Shouze, the group of people guarding the Hall of Mental Cultivation now, recognized that they were indeed Zhu Changcun's people. He nodded, "Sure enough, something happened in the palace... Your Majesty's illness... is strange."

"Well," Tang Ke said firmly, "The prince did it."

Although Wu Shouze also thinks that the prince is very suspicious, but hearing Tang Ke's tone, he still coughed a little bit uncomfortable, "Be cautious in your words and deeds, the prince's actions are not right, but it may not be possible to murder his biological father." thing."

Tang Ke was sure that the crown prince did this, but he didn't intend to get entangled in this matter, but said a little dejectedly: "I didn't find Xiang'er..."

Wu Shouze inexplicably heard a bit of grievance and annoyance from Tang Ke's tone. He raised his head and found that Tang Ke's eyes were flushed. The sleeping palaces of several princes, the East Palace is over there, and further east is the Imperial Study Room, we search them one by one, and we can always-"

"—No," Tang Ke interrupted Wu Shouze, "I searched those palaces, including this area, but I couldn't find Xiang'er."

"Ah," Wu Shouze was stunned, "Have you searched all of them?"

Tang Ke nodded seriously.

Wu Shouze couldn't help but looked up at the sky. The moon had just risen. It should have taken him less than an hour to get here. I don't understand how Tang Ke managed to search so many places in such a short time. , Wu Shouze felt in a trance that he lived in the sky...

Seeing that Wu Shouze was silent, Tang Ke turned his head to look at him, "Apart from those few palaces, do you know where else Xiang'er might be? If it doesn't work, I will go through the whole palace, but it may take a whole night... ..."

Tang Ke looked calm on the face, but Wu Shou was a martial arts practitioner, and the two of them got close, and Wu Shou could clearly feel how disordered the true qi emanating from Tang Ke's body had become.

Tang Ke was flustered and frightened, fearing that something would happen to Xiang'er before he could wait.

A place popped up in Wu Shouze's mind, "Have you searched Zongzheng Temple?"

When Zhu Wenqi said those words, he spoke at a slow pace, with a gentle smile on his face all the time, as naturally as when he asked his brother many times before if he would go to the East Palace to accompany him.

It's just that those eyes that were staring closely at Zhu Wenzhen were full of evil at the moment.

Zhu Wenzhen shook his head desperately, he was already cornered by the wall, he couldn't retreat, trembling all over, "Ze Chen... are you crazy?"

Zhu Wenqi laughed, "I'm not crazy, I've always been like this, it's just that my brother was too stupid to see my true colors clearly."

"Brother is so naive, it's easy to be deceived by others outside. How can I rest assured to leave my brother to live in the palace alone? After I ascended the throne, I will protect my brother in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and if I don't let my brother be in any danger, my brother will be happy." You can stay so naive forever, okay?"

As Zhu Wenqi said, he raised his hand to caress Zhu Wenzhen's cheek, rubbed his fingertips from temple to chin, and pinched Zhu Wenzhen's chin to force him to look at him.

Zhu Wenzhen's eyes were red, and he raised his hand to forcefully lift Zhu Wenqi's hand, threw out the teacup in his hand, and poured all the tea on his younger brother, using the last bit of strength in his body to avoid his younger brother and crawl outside.

Zhu Wenqi looked down at the water stains on his body and the broken porcelain on the ground, then raised his eyes to see his brother struggling in vain, the smile on his face restrained, the corners of his lips were straightened, he stepped forward and pinched his brother's shoulder, twisting his arm The man lifted it back, fell to the seat, and then tightly strangled his brother's thin and fair neck.

"Where else do you want to go, brother? Before I help you erase your identity, don't even think about going anywhere, just wait for me to help you arrange everything."

Zhu Wenzhen's head was dizzy at first, and his body was so burned that he had no strength. At this moment, he was strangled by the neck. In panic and fear, he could only wave his hands and feet in a disorderly manner to resist. His pale face turned red, and tears were forced out. A few syllables begging for mercy leaked out.

"What did brother say?" Zhu Wenqi let go of his brother's hand.

Zhu Wenzhen barely sat up, clutching his neck and gasping for breath, coughing desperately, with tears all over his face.

Seeing his elder brother's appearance, Zhu Wenqi couldn't bear it. He turned around and took another teacup from the table, and poured water for him, "Brother, rest for a while. I will arrive soon, and when the news of my brother's death is confirmed, my brother will be free, and I won't have to worry about these red tapes in the palace anymore."

Zhu Wenzhen looked at the back of his younger brother pouring water, and slowly moved his gaze to the broken tiles on the side of the slump. He moved over carefully, picked up a sharp piece, and stabbed at his younger brother's back as fast as possible.

Zhu Wenqi noticed the movement behind his brother when he got up, turned sideways calmly, easily dodged the piercing tile, kicked it away, then twisted his brother's arm behind his back with one hand, and leaned his body against the wall.

"Brother Xiangjun, you used to listen to my advice and put in more effort in martial arts, and now you won't be so embarrassing that you have no power to fight back."

Zhu Wenqi said, with his arm across his brother's neck, raised his finger, and his knuckles gently slid across his brother's side face, "My brother has such a severe fever, but he is still disobedient. I just want to help you and take you back to see a doctor as soon as possible. If brother wants to resist like this again, I will have to break your tendons right here."

Hearing this, Zhu Wenzhen was so frightened that his body trembled, and all the strength of his struggle was lost, "Ze Chen, let me go, please..."

Zhu Wenqi's hands froze, "Brother Xiangjun, I'm clearly helping you, but you want me to let you go, what do you mean?"

Zhu Wenzhen didn't know what else to say, he knew that what he was doing at the moment was futile, so he could only close his eyes, press his lips tightly, and never speak again.

boom--!

The prison door was slammed open behind him.

A black shadow turned and broke in, and Zhu Wenqi was restrained by the opponent before he recovered his senses.

Tang Ke didn't give Zhu Wenqi a chance to argue and resist. After putting him down, he directly removed the joints of his hands, legs and chin, and pressed the wind sword against his neck, and the true energy penetrated into Zhu Wenqi's flesh along the blade. Here, the pain caused a few low moans in his throat.

Tang Ke stared at Zhu Wenqi, his voice was deep and hoarse, "I'll chop off any finger of yours that touched him, and feed you to eat it yourself."

Zhu Wenqi didn't respond, his jaw was dislocated and he couldn't speak, so he could only stare.
