After three years of reconciliation, the emperor regretted

With whom?It's not like following the current sage.

I think back then when she became a beauty when she became angry with the crown, the city was full of storms.

With the blood of the Xiao family in their bones, they are all lovers who are crazy about love.

Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Yunyan stood upright and knelt in the Taimiao.

The emperor asked them to kneel for two hours to reflect on their audacity.

Seeing that the incense in front of him was ignited little by little, Xiao Yiheng suddenly said: "If you don't come back alive, I will never forgive myself in this life."

He didn't intend to help Xiao Yunyan take this path.

But as a compatriot, he knew himself, and he also understood Xiao Yunyan's temperament.

If he didn't make a move, Xiao Yunyan would achieve his goal even if his head was broken.

But he made a move, if Xiao Yunyan doesn't come back, he is the murderer who killed his younger brother, and his conscience will be disturbed all his life.

"Is it really up to him to do things like this?"

"It must be him." Xiao Yunyan replied firmly.

Ever since that person appeared in front of him when he was eight years old, he was as if he had lost his soul, and he couldn't look away anymore.

"Brother Huang, I want to gamble once." Putting your life on the line, it's a gamble.

If you win, you get what you want, if you lose, you have nothing.

"I'll wait for you to come back, don't make me wait too long." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yiheng stood up and walked towards the outside of the Taimiao without looking back. Fu Linhai, who was kneeling outside and waiting outside, quickly got up from the ground, staggering Staggered to follow.

Xiao Yunyan also stood up. He came to the desk, silently offered incense to each of the ancestors, then turned around and left the palace, and rode towards the emperor's mansion.

As soon as he dismounted, the book boy who had been by his side since Chu Jingrong came to the capital immediately came up to greet him.

He ordered his servants to take away the prince's horse, and led Xiao Yunyan towards the mansion instead.

"My lord, the emperor has been waiting for a long time, and the kit has been prepared. The emperor told me to take you to the front yard as soon as I see the lord."

Xiao Yunyan didn't come to the Emperor's Mansion very often.

Chu Jingrong has a high status and never receives foreign guests on weekdays.

He cut his head and wanted to get closer, but he didn't get a chance at all.

In the gazebo in the front yard, Chu Jingrong changed from the elegant and luxurious court clothes of the early court, and only wore a thin inner garment. Su held a jade-white chess piece in his hand, and dropped the chess piece in a lack of interest.

What he solves are all unsolvable endgames from ancient times to the present. Every time he solves it, he will find it boring. Chu Jingrong waved his hand and asked the schoolboys to put away the chess game, and turned to straighten his body. A pair of beautiful eyes looked coldly at Xiao Yunyan direction.

He is always like this, as if nothing is in his eyes.

"The second prince is here, please take a seat."

When Xiao Yunyan took a seat in front of him, Chu Jingrong beckoned, and the schoolboys brought up a chopping board with three red kits inside.

"The second prince must listen carefully to what I say next."

Chu Jingrong patiently explained all the planning and planning in detail.

When should the three kits be opened, neither in advance nor behind, he said that he was a little thirsty, took a sip of the tea prepared at the side, but found that Xiao Yunyan was a little absent-minded, staring at him naked with calm eyes. The outer half of the plain white wrist.

Chu Jingrong frowned, feeling a little displeased, he subconsciously covered his wrist with his sleeve robe, and said solemnly: "It's a matter of family and life, did the second prince understand what you said just now?"

Xiao Yunyan remained silent and didn't speak. He didn't hear a word of the plan just now.

Picking up the three kits, Xiao Yunyan got up and left. Halfway there, he suddenly stopped and turned his head: "Teacher, a few days ago, Emperor Father mentioned your marriage. Do you...have a woman you like?"

Chu Jingrong came to the imperial city at the age of 15 and became the prince's tutor, teaching the prince Xiao Yiheng and the second prince Xiao Yunyan.

In his opinion, the two princes are both very talented, one is good at literature, the other is good at martial arts, one can write a pen to secure the world, and the other can ride a horse to determine the universe.

At that time, Xiao Yunyan was only eight years old, and they got along pretty well, but I don't know when Xiao Yunyan started to get awkward, rarely called him teacher, and his eyes were more worried, and he often stared at him without blinking. he.

Chu Jingrong couldn't figure out the reason, and wanted to communicate several times, but Xiao Yunyan avoided him, and the look in his eyes always made him a little uncomfortable, and gradually, he became alienated.

Today, Xiao Yunyan called his teacher again, which stunned Chu Jingrong for a moment.

It's just that he didn't know how to answer this question.

"I live in the Emperor's Mansion for a long time, and I seldom go out." The implication is that I have never even met a woman, so why do I like it?

Xiao Yunyan nodded, and spoke again but lost the respect he had just now: "Chu Jingrong, you give me two more years, not too much, just two years." Two years later, I, who is better than now, must have the courage to pursue you , not as cowardly as now.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yunyan left without looking back, with a desperate determination on his back.

Looking at the leaving figure, thinking about what Xiao Yunyan said just now, Chu Jingrong felt inexplicable and irritable for no reason.

The book boy was just about to start a new mess, but he rejected him with a wave of his hand. Chu Jingrong stood up and walked towards the study alone.

Half a month later, Prince Xiang set off to the frontier with food and elite soldiers.

Those who came to see him off included the present sage and the empress, as well as the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but the prince and the emperor's teacher were not seen.

In the East Palace, Fu Linhai was sweating profusely: "Prince, Prince Xiang is about to leave the customs, don't you really want to see him off?"

"No!" Xiao Yiheng flatly refused, holding the pen with one hand, and wrote the word "An".

After a while, he said slowly: "On the day he comes back, I will be the first to clean up the dust for him."

After a while, someone came to report that Prince Xiang had left the border and set off for Beyond the Great Wall.

Xiao Yiheng's hand holding the pen paused, he waved his hand, retreated left and right, and even Fu Linhai was kicked out.

Sitting alone in the study, Xiao Yiheng stared at the word "An" on the rice paper, dazed.

In the next two years, news of good news continued to come from the frontier, and now Shengshang was so happy that he was always holding Queen Chu's hand and praising the emperor's master's ability.

They were all kept in the dark, only Chu Yiheng was holding his heart in fear, and the delicacies of mountains and seas were also tasteless, and he tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep.

Until one day two years later, when Chu Yiheng's coronation ceremony was approaching, another good news came from the border. Xia Jun surrendered, and Prince Xiang returned triumphantly.

"Fu Linhai, prepare the horse, quickly prepare the horse." Hearing the announcement from the servants, Xiao Yiheng put aside everything at hand, rode all the way to the border gate, and with the support of Fu Linhai, climbed onto the city wall, looking forward to it.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Kingdom gradually revealed their heroic and extraordinary figures in the wind and sand. Xiao Yunyan, who was walking in the front, rode a dark cloud on the snow. In the past two years, his figure has grown a lot. After baptism, her temperament became more introverted, more calm and reliable than before.

Chu Jingrong, who was in the Emperor's Mansion, also received the news, and heaved a sigh of relief.

In fact, he wasn't too worried, as long as Xiao Yunyan acted according to the tips, he would be safe.

It's just that he had calculated thousands of times but failed to count. Xiao Yunyan, who returned to Beijing to take his life, took out the three well-preserved kits in front of all the civil and military officials in the court hall. It turned out that they had never been opened at all. .
