Offer a tripod

On the night the prince left Beijing, the situation in the imperial city changed suddenly.Zhao Liao, the infantry commander of the prince's mansion, entered the palace with Yuan Xi late at night, saying that early this morning, the prince secretly left the capital with fifty guards and headed northwest.Walking to Tianziling plank road, encountered heavy rain, the plank road was in disrepair for a long time, and was destroyed by strong wind and lightning. The prince and his car fell under the cliff with no bones left.The only soldier was one step late and survived. When he saw the tragedy, he hurried back to report.The matter is so important that Zhao Liao dare not make a decision alone, so he specially entered the palace to beseech the Holy Order.

Emperor Yan's face was gloomy, his previous majesty remained unchanged, and he glanced at the two of them and said: "The prince is benevolent, filial, sensible and good-natured, what is he going to the northwest for?" He looked at Yuan Xi: "Also, if you are not in the mansion to take care of leaving the capital, Why did you also enter the palace?"

Yuan Xi knelt down and bowed, with a sarcasm all the time on the corner of her mouth, her expression faltered when she heard the words, and she raised her head with a bit of complacency: "Go back to the emperor, my son will leave in a few days, I wanted to go to the prince's mansion to work with you." Brother Jing said some personal words, and saw that the mansion was in chaos, and my son was worried about Brother Jing's safety, and...knows a thing or two about what's going on here, so I hurried to follow."

Emperor Yan's eyes were like hawks, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you know? Say it!"

Yuan Xi sighed: "Actually, Brother Jing left Beijing this time because he was bewitched by someone, and that person is Chu Yu, the eldest son of General Shenwu. This person has a vicious heart. Seeing that Brother Jing was young and ignorant, he used the name of a guard to seduce him. The female lies under her body, doing obscene and absurd things, so as to pave her way to promotion. The two are already very close in front of others, and they have done good things in private. Someone once saw him two We were in the same car, and when we got out of the car, Brother Jing was disheveled and even one of his socks was missing. I don’t know what was the unsightly situation inside. Oh yes, Brother Jing once came to Erchen’s house as a guest, and his eyes turned blue It seems that he has not slept all night, and there are hickeys all over his neck. Father, you also know that since the founding of the mansion, Brother Jing has never ordered the female family members of the mansion to be lucky. Hungering on him, brother Jing was occupied by him all night, how could he have the energy to spread leaves for the royal family. Alas, I noticed this matter as soon as I returned to Beijing. I dare not talk to you because of my affection Said. Looking at the deep affection between the two of them, I really don’t know when they couldn’t connect clearly. Today’s disaster also happened because of this. Xu felt that he couldn’t let go of his hands and feet in the palace. Chu Yu coaxed Brother Jing to accompany him on a trip. That's why brother Jing died tragically, if the emperor doesn't believe it, just ask someone to go to his mansion to see if he is there."

His rhetoric was extremely bold and blatant, and he was not as cautious as usual.Emperor Yan's face had changed, and one hand hidden under his sleeve was also clenched, as if he was trying to suppress the trembling caused by anger.He called the guard on duty today, pointed at him and said sharply: "Go, go to the Chu Mansion to see where Chu Yu is now."

The guards ordered him to forbid, so he hurried out of the palace and headed for the Chu Mansion.Emperor Yan remained silent for half an hour, and there was not a single sound in the hall.Yuan Xi's back was completely drenched in cold sweat, and only then did the guards rush back to the palace to pass the message: "Go back to the emperor, the son is not at home, and the mansion does not know where he is going."

Emperor Yan remained silent until this moment, when he opened his eyes. His eyes were blood-colored, and he looked at Zhao Liao: "You said the prince died at the foot of the cliff, but have you ever found the body?"

Zhao Liao hurriedly held up a bloody garment: "The last general has sent a group of people there, only to find the old clothes worn by the prince. The cliff is more than ten thousand feet deep, and people fell below. I'm afraid... the prince's mansion is not strong enough. The last general is incompetent, I implore the emperor to send the imperial army to go and find the whereabouts of the prince together with the last general."

Liu Lin passed the bloody clothes to the imperial court, and Emperor Yan looked down, only to see that the clothes had been stained with blood so that the original color could not be seen. Weeping on the side, it seemed that what Liu Lin was holding was not a piece of clothing, but the crown prince's spiritual tablet.

Emperor Yan waved his hand, motioning for him to take it away, and summoned the commander in front of the East Hall, and ordered him to go to Tianziling with [-] defenders stationed in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing. See the corpse."

There was no trace of panic when he gave orders and arranged plans.Yuan Xi knew best how much he treasured that son, and seeing that his face was not moved at all, she felt a little flustered, and was planning to stimulate him again, but Emperor Yan put one hand on the armrest, got up and said: " You guys go back." Looking at Yuan Xi again: "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore."

Yuan Xi listened to his firm tone, so she could only tap once, then turned and left.The moment he stepped out of the palace gate, he heard Liu Lin's exclamation from behind: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you! Quick, send the medical officer over!"

Yuan Xi stood in a cloud of shadows, with a ferocious smile like a ghost. He turned around and saw Emperor Yan's face was pale, and he fell under the seat.

On the night Emperor Yan fell into a coma, there was no one in the palace, so Yuan Xi pressed the message, keeping it secret, and only sent him back to his bedroom.The next day when the civil and military officials went to court, he colluded with Zhao Liao and Pan Min, the deputy commander of the Ma Junsi, and detained all the officials in the waiting courtyard. He said that the crown prince died in a deep cliff, and that the emperor had a sudden illness. Before he fell into a coma, he called Yuanxi into the palace. , to restore his position as the crown prince, and let him temporarily manage state affairs, and all officials should only follow his lead.

The prime minister, Zhou Ji, had a fiery temper. Hearing this false imperial edict, he immediately got into trouble. He asked the person who delivered the edict, why did he inform the officials now that the emperor was sick late at night?How could the prince die outside the capital?Where is the body?Since the emperor promised to restore Yuan and cherish the crown prince, why did he only hear the oral order and not see the imperial edict?Since Yuan Xi received the holy order, why didn't she come out to discuss important matters with all the officials?

The messenger had no way of answering, so he just closed the gate of the courtyard, and eight hundred guards guarded the door with knives, locking up these dissatisfied voices.

The door of the Daqing Palace was closed, Yuan Xi sat on the dragon chair, his eyes dimmed, and he groped for the dragon pattern on the armrest with an intoxicated expression. At his feet, a very young eunuch with red lips and white teeth was kneeling, cautiously beat his leg.He proudly said: "My younger brother is the number one idiot in the world. I don't know how many times I have counted against him since I was a child. He just saw my father deal with a few of my scapegoats. After being wronged, I dare not tell my father again. The emperor. He didn't even think about it, what is the life of a slave worth? Not to mention hurting the prince, even if he was in a bad mood and killed a few for fun, it was their luck. But if he wasn't so useless, he would only I will hide quietly, and I don't have such a great opportunity, so speaking of it, I have to thank him."

The little eunuch who waited on him was terrified when he heard the words, and the strength became a little heavier.Yuan Xi kicked him to the side, and scolded: "If it's a useless thing in my house, just chop you up and feed it to fish and dogs!"

Zhao Liao is his number one hero, standing beside him at the moment, but he is worried: "It's just that we haven't found the jade seal yet, the name is not right, and if the forbidden army returns, we still can't produce the edict..."

Yuan Xibi made a hand gesture: "Why are you panicking? Yuxi is in the palace. It's not up to me to decide how to write the imperial edict after I get it."

However, they did not find the whereabouts of Yuxi until the sun rose and the palace was searched all over.In a fit of rage, Yuan Xi killed dozens of palace servants, leaving corpses everywhere outside the Daqing Hall, with black blood flowing.

At this time, a worse news came, Emperor Yan disappeared from the bedroom.

Yuan Jing didn't know anything about the changes. Once Chu Yu left, he lay on the bed and felt uncomfortable for a long time.His fingers caught something, but it was the sugar man from before. He held it tightly and couldn't bear to let go.After sleeping in a daze until midnight, Xiao Liu came in to pass on the news, and the mansion sent someone.Said that the emperor knew that he had left the capital privately, suddenly became ill with anger, and was now unconscious, and told him to go back as soon as possible.

After what happened last time, Yuan Jing became a bit on guard, and called people in for interrogation in person.At first glance, there was no doubt that these two really belonged to his mansion.He already had a guilty conscience, knowing that he would be punished after returning this time, but he didn't want to make his father angry.Regardless of his own weakness, he immediately asked people to set off and return to Beijing.

The visitor reported that due to the heavy rain for several days, the plank road had been washed away by the rain. When they came, they took the small road. Now it is not too late, please lead the way ahead.Yuan Jing's bodyguards were over [-] years old and experienced. Hearing this, he was a little skeptical. The plank road was still in good condition when they came yesterday, but it took only a day, so why did it break down?Moreover, the rain was not too heavy that day. If it was said to be a natural disaster, it would be hard to believe.

The two guards claimed that they didn't know, if the prince didn't believe it, he could just send someone to check.

It would take at least three or four hours to go back and forth, Yuan Jing was so anxious that he urged: "Forget it, let's take the path."

The chief guard vaguely felt that something was wrong, and quietly sent someone to check, and then drove the car himself, driving slowly, taking the opportunity to delay the time.Yuan Jing was bumping and bumping in the car, his head was already dizzy, and now he started to feel pain, and he didn't notice it.The return journey needs to pass through a dense forest, the road is narrow and dark.The two people who led the way entered the forest, swiping their horsewhip sharply, and went faster and faster.The chief guard thought it was not good, so he hurriedly stopped the horse.When Yuan Jing was in a daze, he felt that the speed had slowed down. He opened the curtain of the car and asked, "Why did it stop?"

The head of the guard got off his horse and said, "Your Highness, something is not right here. There is not even a bird singing in such a big forest. The two people leading the way walked too fast and they were out of sight. Let's get out of the forest first. Yi Let's do it the way we want." Yuan Jing hesitated for a moment, then he said again: "Your Highness, we are not many people, so safety should be the most important thing."

Yuan Jing looked outside and saw that the place was dark and scary, and he didn't know how far he was going, so he couldn't help being a little scared, and said: "Okay, let's go out first."

They returned along the original road, and it was not far away, only to hear a guard say: "Hey, there is a light over there." After a closer look, he exclaimed: "It's fire! It's on fire! There is also here!"

The flames ignited almost instantly, starting a prairie fire for more than ten miles, and the flames flew into the air, trapping them inside.Iron arrows with flaming tips were fired from outside the fire field, and when they hit the ground, they sparked a layer of flames.The head guard stood on the roof of the car, looked around, and cursed angrily: "Damn it, the fire can't even be ignited in this weather, how could it catch fire!"

Xiao Liu fell to the ground and was covered in mud. He held up his dirty hands and stammered, "The ground is covered with kerosene..."

The chief guard snatched his arm, sniffed it in front of his nose, and cursed secretly: "There is something added to the kerosene...it's sulfur!" He opened the curtain and said, "Your Highness, quickly find a wet cloth Cover your mouth and nose, and don't let the fire ash get in." He jumped in front of the car and galloped, Xiao Liu was left on the spot, crying and chasing a few steps.Yuan Jing heard it in the car, and said anxiously: "There's Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu!"

Thick smoke was billowing around, and the fire was as high as a tree. People who were burning could not open their eyes. People who accidentally got sparks burned from their feet, rolled to the ground in a panic, and immediately burned like fireballs.The horses were frightened, and they refused to listen to the urging, broke away from the reins, and ran away in all directions.The cries and pleadings are almost unheard of in this Shura Purgatory.Yuan Jing sat with his knees hugged, bumping against the car from time to time.At this time, the temperature in the car was extremely high, and he felt hot all over his body. He only opened the car curtain a little, and was thrown back by the heat wave.As the flames grew stronger, the chief guard jumped out of the carriage and carried Yuan Jing out: "Your Highness, this subordinate will carry you!"

Yuan Jing smelled the scorched smell in the air, and his stomach twitched. He barely lay on the back of the head guard, and hugged his neck tightly.The latter supported the ground with a knife and ran wildly.The burned tree crashed to the ground, separating the way of life between purgatory and the world.The head guard was exhausted, two lines of black blood sprayed out of his nose, and he fell to the ground.

Yuan Jing knelt beside him, only hearing the wailing and the sound of rattling fire, so frightened to the extreme, his mind went blank, he forgot everything.The sugar figurine he held in his hand had been burnt, sticking to his hand so sticky and hot that he couldn't shake it off, it was so hot that his palm ached.He looked at it and clenched it tightly.

At this moment, he felt a bright light on the top of his head, and a few clusters of sparks rolled into his neck. Before he could wipe it off, he raised his eyes and saw the big tree over three feet thick that stood in front of him was picked up and flew aside. When it fell, the burnt black sunken ground shook.A tall horse roared like thunder and lightning against the thick smoke and fire.The man on the horseback looked stern, and with a wave of the long knife, a gust of cold wind was set off.

The corner of Yuan Jing's clothes was already on fire, but it was also blown out by the wind of the knife. When he got up, he felt dizzy, and the small burns on his body suddenly hurt unbearably.

He stood stubbornly in place, without moving.Chu Yu rode his horse close, flicked his whip, and rolled him into his arms.As soon as Yuan Jing fell into his generous embrace, he felt sore eyes, and he smeared the sticky sugar figurine on Chu Yu's body in revenge.Chu Yu looked down at him, stretched out his cloak, wrapped him tightly, and pressed him against his chest.There was darkness in front of Yuan Jing's eyes, and he isolated all the tragic scenes outside.

The author has something to say: I can't hold on to it all night, the scumbag came back with a slap in the face, and said: I am so angry, I will share it, I care about you, what?Why do you ask me to come back?Can't I come back for a stroll?
