minister wants to kill the king

The Planting Flower Pavilion is the No. [-] flower building in Lecheng. It is a prosperous and scenic spot, and visitors come like clouds, but now it is in ruins.

The officers and soldiers surrounded the planting flower hall to prevent anyone from entering. Pedestrians watched curiously from a distance, but they dared not take a step forward.

Among the ashes were three corpses that had been burnt beyond recognition, only their figures could be seen faintly. One of the corpses was holding a sword tightly in its hand. His subordinates recognized it and exclaimed, "This is Mr. Xue's sword!"

The lieutenant general gave a "hmm" and picked up a jade pendant from the ashes. The jade pendant was covered with black ash. The lieutenant general wiped the ash away with his fingers, revealing the patterns on the jade pendant.

The lieutenant general recognized this jade pendant. His Highness the Third Highness never left his body in the past, so the corpse in front of him

"What about 'Thousand Miles'?"

The subordinates offered a birdcage, and the bird just woke up from the wine. At this time, it was dozing in a dizzy state in the cage. After being released by the lieutenant general, it immediately flapped its wings and circled towards the last corpse.

The deputy general glanced at the three corpses in front of him, pondered for a while, and said: "Last night, Mr. Xue must have had a fight with the thief, and they both died together. Then the remaining two corpses must be the people we are looking for." Alright, take it back for a business trip."

The subordinate frowned and said: "This matter is too strange, why don't you investigate thoroughly?"

"A group of people were lured around by a beast, which delayed the opportunity." The deputy general said coldly, this sentence made his subordinates tremble, only to hear the deputy general sigh again: "Master Xue will not hesitate to die with the thief, but also to catch the thief. So as not to miss His Majesty's will, this act of loyalty and patriotism is really admirable, and we should emulate it."

If His Majesty knew the details, he would definitely be punished for his ineffectiveness, so why not just let it go and report to His Majesty.

"The evidence is convincing, what else is there to investigate." The deputy general came to a conclusion calmly, "No matter how vigorous the search is, nothing will be found, and it will alarm others. His Majesty will be furious at that time. Who can take this responsibility?"

So this chase ended lightly.

After finishing the morning court, Feng Huaicheng was preparing to approve the papers, but the eunuch came to report to Feng Yan to see him.

After Feng Huaicheng ascended the throne, there was a big exchange of blood between the court and the middle. The second prince's party headed by Prime Minister Rong bore the brunt and became the target of public criticism.

Concubine Rong invited herself to Long'an Temple to pray for the late emperor, and Feng Yan kept complaining of illness, except for the day of Chengqian's funeral and enthronement ceremony, she never complained of illness at all other times.

Therefore, at this time Feng Yan took the initiative to ask for a meeting, Feng Huaicheng was very surprised.

After Feng Yan came in, he saluted. Feng Huaicheng gave him a seat first, and the palace servants offered hot tea. Feng Yan took a sip, and then said in a calm manner: "New Year's Mengding nectar? Your Majesty's tea here is Bichendi's. good."

Feng Yan was born with slender eyes and thin lips, and he was used to being bitter and mean, and his flattery words were always tinged with stickiness.

Feng Huaicheng smiled and said: "They all come from Mount Meng in the same way, and I don't favor one over another." After finishing speaking, he also took a sip, "If it's the best tea in the world, it must be Mengding Manna."

Why did Feng Yan come here this time? Feng Huaicheng probably has a good idea in his mind, but if Feng Yan wants to make a detour with him, then he will accompany him.

So Feng Huaicheng spoke slowly, and asked in the tone of an elder: "Is the second brother's illness better? I hope that the second brother will come back to the court and help me control the government."

Just listening to the superficial words, Feng Yan pretended to cough, he was naturally impatient, and finally couldn't bear his temper, and said: "Don't bother your majesty, my younger brother is fine, but the third younger brother's illness is a bit worrying."

Feng Huaicheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and Feng Yan continued: "The third brother has been ill for a month, and he couldn't even go to the father's funeral to fulfill his filial piety. It's really worrying. The younger brother wanted to visit." He said Feng Yan laughed, "But he was stopped by His Majesty's soldiers. Those slaves are so bold that they even dared to stop me. Your Majesty said he was not angry."

Even Feng Huaicheng scolded Feng Huaicheng for these words, but Feng Yan seemed to be ignorant, "I can't help it, so I came here to ask His Majesty to let my younger brother visit my third brother."

Ever since Emperor Chengqian passed away, Fengyan hadn't seen Fengsu again. Fenghuaicheng had put Fengsu under house arrest before, but Fengsu would still be allowed to go to the palace banquets, but this time, Fengsu didn't even send out the funeral for Emperor Chengqian. After Chengcheng, Feng Yan began to suspect that Feng Huaicheng completely locked Feng Su in the palace, or even killed Feng Su.

Feng Huaicheng sighed, "I told you that the third brother's illness is shameful, and I am worried that you will also contract the illness, which will cause trouble."

The corner of Feng Yan's lips twitched, and he couldn't help showing a mean smile again, "What is the disease so severe? The younger brother is connected by blood with the third younger brother, how can you be afraid of these things?"

Feng Huaicheng sighed, "It's smallpox, I don't want to let it go, but I really don't dare."

Feng Yan was startled for a moment, she really didn't expect this answer.

Feng Huaicheng's face was full of sorrow, "I'm just telling you, this news must not be spread, even if it is a nobleman in Tianhuang, if he has smallpox, he must be sent out of the palace according to the law."

Feng Yan was dubious, "Why did you suddenly get this disease?"

"Just the night before the late Emperor died." Feng Huaicheng sighed.

"Then I have to go and have a look, how can I let the third brother be alone?" Feng Yan frowned and said: "Your Majesty, let the younger brother go and have a look, otherwise the younger brother is really relieved No more."

Feng Huaicheng glanced at him, "I don't dare to joke about your life, if the second brother just said this, please go back."

Feng Yan choked, anger rose in his heart, he squinted his eyes and was about to speak, but was stopped by Feng Huaicheng's next words, "Send Your Highness back home."

After driving Feng Yan away, it was already noon.

The confidant eunuch led the way for Fenghuai City, walked through the winding path, pushed aside the trees and bushes along the way, and a dungeon appeared.

The confidant led Feng Huaicheng into the dungeon, the dungeon was pitch black, the confidantes lit up the oil lamps in the prison one by one, and the dark dungeon instantly became bright.

The prisoner inside was also startled by the light, "ah", shivering in the corner of the wall.

The confidant said: "The person I just found is very similar to that one."

After finishing speaking, the confidant handed the oil lamp to the prisoner, so that Feng Huaicheng could see the prisoner's face clearly.

It was a face that was very similar to Feng Su's.

Feng Huaicheng frowned and said: "It still doesn't look like it."

The confidant was taken aback, Feng Huaicheng pointed his finger at the corner of the eye, "This is missing a mole, the eyes have no aura, there is something missing."

Looking at the prisoner's face again, it was indeed similar, and said: "That's all, that's it."

Confidant: "The mole is not a big problem, just dip a needle in the ink and burn it. This person is born dumb, so it saves a lot of effort."

Feng Huaicheng nodded, "Can you write?"

The confidant was stunned for a moment, "I found this person among the refugees who fled to the south, so I shouldn't be able to."

Feng Huaicheng: "Hands are useless too."

The confidant took the order, and a scream came from the prison after a while.

A quarter of an hour later, Feng Huaicheng came out of the prison, pondered for a moment and said to his confidant: "We must send someone to teach the rules as soon as possible. He must be present at the next month's banquet. The courtiers are already suspicious."

"Yes."

But at this moment, those two "dead people" were driving a carriage, swaggering out of the city and heading south.

Mixue was stuffed with medicine, tied up into a rice dumpling and tied to the corner of the carriage, rubbing against the carriage with flushed face, but her mouth was sealed, and all groans/groans were silenced.

Feng Su sat on the other side flipping through the book, glanced at Mixue, amused, "How's the taste?"

Mi Xue looked desperate, her eyes were blurred, and she gasped heavily from her nostrils, "Mmmmm!"

Feng Su raised his eyebrows proudly, "Is it fun? I know you must be overjoyed, so don't thank me."

Mi Xue rolled her eyes and fainted.

The carriage was driving on the official road leading to Shuzhou. In late autumn, the red maples along the road were like fire, and they were blown by the wind and fell down one after another. The entire official road was also covered with deep red.

"Stop and sit in Aifenglin at night, and the frosty leaves are as red as the flowers in February." Feng Su walked out of the carriage and sat with Xue Lang who was driving the car, with a half-read book still rolled up in his hand.

"Why did you come out? It's windy outside." Xue Lang didn't look sideways.

Feng Su supported the side of the car with his arms, his legs were dangling, his eyes looked around, and he said leisurely: "I have never seen such a beautiful scenery."

Xue Lang couldn't help laughing, "Have you never seen Maple Leaf?"

Feng Su raised his head and looked at the blue sky, took a deep breath, "I feel now that the world is vast, and there seems to be no place we can't go to. I feel like the burden on my body is gone all at once."

Feng Su looked at Xue Lang, and said seriously: "Thank you for coming back, Xue Lang."

Xue Lang casually turned his head, but was stunned for a moment by the seriousness in Feng Su's eyes. At this time, Feng Su's expression was extremely serious, which was quite different from his usual appearance.

It was as if the words were spoken from the bottom of his heart.

Xue Lang felt that he was bored, and twitched the corners of his lips, "I said, I will do anything for Your Highness."

"I didn't ask you to do anything. I really thank you for what happened before, and what happened at the Flower Planting House yesterday." Feng Su looked at Xue Lang intently, and smiled.

Xue Lang noticed that Feng Su had been staring at his side face, "What are you looking at?"

"I think you've changed a lot."

Xue Lang smiled, "What do you want to ask again this time? What did you say the second time your subordinates met you?"

What he was laughing at was the temptation in Feng Su's words when he got in the car.

Feng Su's face was awkward for a moment, and seeing Xue Lang's teasing expression, he knew he was joking, and hurriedly said: "You have changed so much that I can't even recognize it."

"Stretch out your hand."

Feng Su: "?"

Xue Lang turned his face and said with a smile: "You can tell if it's the real person by touching it yourself, so there's no need to test it?"

Feng Su: ""

Xue Lang raised his eyebrows at him, so Feng Su stretched out his hand, squeezed Xue Lang's face, and slapped Xue Lang fiercely, "Well, it's the real face and not someone else's fake one, don't worry now."

Feng Su said leisurely.

Xue Lang: "Tsk, it hurts."

Feng Su: "Let you laugh at me."

After talking, the stone hanging in Feng Su's heart was also let go.

Xue Lang's return made him feel a lot more at ease, as if he had the courage to solve any big problem before him.

Even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous.
