"Father..."

The second prince called out tentatively, but he didn't kneel down hastily like everyone else.

His father's fate is really tough, and at this critical moment of forcing the palace, there is actually a flashback, which is really unexpected.

The queen rushed to the bed, looking at the emperor with distress: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor, who was at the end of his strength, pushed away the queen's hand, his pale face flushed a little from being too excited.

"Bastard...you bastard! You...you bastard!" The emperor raised his hand, and the anger in his eyes suddenly leaked out. "Quickly kneel down!"

The emperor's angry shout carried the majesty of the emperor, even if the second prince was prepared, he couldn't help but tremble.He pretended to be calm, put on a joking smile on purpose, and slowly knelt down: "My son...greetings to my father."

It looks very respectful, but in fact it is extremely arrogant.

The second prince knelt on the ground, his eyes were unabashed, the way he looked at the emperor was no different from looking at a dead person.

The emperor couldn't help feeling sad - although he had no feelings for Concubine Su Gui, the Second Prince was his own flesh and blood after all, his own son was always looking forward to his death, anyone would be heartbroken.

The seat of the Ninth Five-Year...is it really that good?

A line of blood spilled from the emperor's lips.The queen said worriedly: "Your Majesty! The dragon body is important!"

The second prince couldn't see the deep affection between the emperor and the empress - his mother and concubine were still worried about the emperor in her bedroom, but the emperor didn't even give her the qualification to serve the sick.

Concubine Su Gui enjoyed endless prosperity and wealth in her life, but she met a man who didn't love her.

But it doesn't matter, soon, his mother and concubine will be the most honorable woman in the world.

The corner of the second prince's lips curled up into a slight smile, and he stood up dignifiedly under the emperor's glaring gaze.

"Father and mother have a deep friendship, which really moved my son and minister." The second prince said leisurely. "Since this is the case, the queen mother must be reluctant to let the emperor go on the road alone."

The implication could not be more obvious, he is determined to remove all obstacles.

The emperor's heart was completely cold.

He sighed and shook the queen's hand to reassure her.

"Really... is that the case?" The emperor was asking the second prince, but it was more like asking himself.

The second prince pressed on step by step, and said with a sneer: "Father, don't you think...to this day, there is still a way out for my son?"

Outside the brightly lit bedroom, Su Xiang led all the civil and military officials to wait for the news.Even if the emperor refuses to issue an edict, the second prince still has ways to turn himself into a legitimate new emperor.

"My son knows that father has always preferred his cousin." The second prince said unhurriedly. "I also know that my father wants to pass on to my cousin—"

In the history of Daqi, there has never been an emperor who would surpass his own heir and pass the throne to his brother's son.

The second prince smiled gently: "Father, don't you think... those old antiques in the court will agree to your ridiculous decision?"

This is also the confidence of the second prince.

The eldest prince is the eldest son after all, those old antiques will speak for him.But this Mu Yuanshu is the son of King Qing—how many years has King Qing been dead, and he has never won a fight against the emperor, so is his son still qualified to fight?

"Father, Queen Mother, Brother Huang and Duanyi's life are all in your hands."

The second prince waved, and his valet immediately handed over a pre-prepared imperial edict.The second prince looked at the eunuch next to the emperor, and said with a slight smile: "My lord, why don't you wait on the emperor to handle government affairs?"

"Despicable and shameless!"

The prince is loyal to the emperor, and he can't wait to punish this traitor for the emperor.

The second prince ignored him, and still smiled and turned to the emperor who was in a state of anger: "Father, strike while the iron is hot?"

"You!" The queen cast a resentful look, "You are... trying to drive the emperor to death!"

The emperor laughed when he saw the edict forged by the second prince.

"Not bad... not bad..." His eyes were a little loose, and he didn't know what he was praising.

It is said that a nephew looks like an uncle, and in the eyes of the emperor, the second prince's face gradually changed to that of Su Xiang when he was young.

"For so many years...you finally...made a comprehensive...comprehensive..."

thing.

The second prince, who was praised by the emperor for the first time, was astonished. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, but found that the emperor had closed his eyes at some point and was completely out of breath.

The prince trembled and announced:

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is dead!"



"Later? What happened later?"

Wen Liang was so nervous that he forgot to knock the melon seeds, so he hurriedly asked.

"If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next chapter to break it down." The storyteller patted Xingmu, stroking his beard leisurely. "The final chapter of the secret story of the palace, everyone, please be early tomorrow!"

After speaking, he walked away, completely ignoring the wailing of the audience.

Wen Liang couldn't help but rolled his eyes——

This storyteller knows how to manipulate people's hearts. Not only is the story the people love to hear about the struggle for imperial power, but he is also stuck at a critical moment when his life hangs in the balance. No wonder the business of this teahouse is so booming.

The appetizing audience chattered a lot, and someone asked in a low voice, "Hey, do you think the second prince can ascend the throne smoothly?"

People around who heard it couldn't help casting contemptuous glances, and Wen Liang even laughed out of nowhere.

His companion, greatly embarrassed, tapped him on the forehead.

"Stupid!" The companion cursed in a low voice, hating iron and steel. "I don't even look at who the current emperor is!"

"Oh, it's Mu—"

It is disrespectful to directly call the emperor by his name, but fortunately, his companion quickly covered his open mouth.

"Are you a pig brain!!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

The teahouse was suddenly full of laughter, Wen Liang quietly followed the storyteller into a remote alley.

"Come out." The storyteller stopped walking, with a smile on his lips. "Brother Wen, please stay safe."

Wen Liang embarrassedly walked out from behind the sundries piled up at the entrance of the alley, touched his nose: "I didn't expect Mrs. Liu to have the habit of being a guest storyteller in addition to his obsession with cooking. !"

Liu Wuyan removed the disguise on his face and turned around: "I never thought that Brother Wen would still be free to go to the teahouse to listen to books today."

The matter between the second prince and Prime Minister Su is very involved. After Mu Yuanshu ascended the throne, he could not release Cui Chengyan immediately. He had to wait for the liquidation before rehabilitating the Cui family. Cui Chengyan was released without charge and will be released from prison today.

"Cui Chengyan doesn't have to worry about food and clothing in prison, so I have nothing to worry about." Wen Liang looked nonchalant.

When the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and Su Xiang fell, how could Cui Chenglu have a chance to stand up?Collaboration with the enemy, rebellion... which one is not enough to implicate the nine clans?Fortunately, when Cui Chengyan was in trouble, Uncle Cui and Second Master Cui couldn't wait to draw a line with Cui Chengyan, otherwise Cui Yuanwai's line and Mrs. Cui would suffer again.

"The emperor is merciful. He not only rehabilitated the Cui family, but also sent special personnel to escort the two elders of the Cui family to Beijing." Wen Liang praised Mu Yuanshu solemnly in front of Liu Wuyan. "I have met Yuanwai Cui and Mrs. Cui, and they are all fine."

Cui Yuanwai is also considered to be the great hero who brought down Prime Minister Su. If he hadn't noticed something wrong and copied a copy of the accounts handled by Cui Erye, he would not have found out that Cui Erye used the Cui family caravan to spread news for Su Xiang and Beidi.

"That's good. I'll come to visit some other day." Liu Wuyan smiled slightly, looking at Wen Liang. "Brother Wen followed me, there should be more than these things, right?"

Being able to see through his disguise at a glance, and following him all the way calmly, no matter how you look at it, he seems to have come prepared.

Wen Liang smiled dryly, pretending to be innocent and said: "No, I just passed by by chance..."

Liu Wuyan obviously didn't believe it, but he knew who the leaker was without guessing.

"There seems to be something wrong with the canal in Qingzhou City." Liu Wuyan suddenly said something that seemed irrelevant, "The emperor is worrying about who should be sent to have a look."

Ye Guyun, who was being courteous in the Huichun Hall, sneezed suddenly.

"I knew Brother Wen couldn't hide it from the old fox!" Ye Guyun was filled with grief and indignation.

Everything Liu Wuyan did was to consolidate the imperial power. It is said that the first emperor died that night, and the second prince took out the so-called "edict" in an attempt to deceive the world, but who knew that the great eunuch Wang Gonggong who was next to the emperor actually took out a copy. Really edict!

"Your Majesty feels that his fate is not long, and he ordered his servants to prepare the imperial edict a few days ago."

The princes and fathers held high the late emperor's edict, and they were the first to win.

The second prince made a decisive decision and shouted: "Absurd! Father has never issued an imperial edict! How dare you, a slave, dare to forge imperial edicts! Come on! Take him down!"

"Yes!"

The second prince's people moved immediately after hearing the sound, but General Wei, who was supposed to be stationed outside the city, arrived with his troops and stopped the second prince's silence.

"Wei Pengju! Do you know if you are resisting the decree?" The second prince didn't care about being surprised why General Wei's soldiers and horses could enter the palace. He looked to Prime Minister Su for support, but the other party was also suppressed by Mu Yuanshu.

"Su Xiang, are you here all right?" Mu Yuanshu was dressed as a guard, but there was infinite killing intent in his eyes. "I tried every means to stop me from seeing the emperor for the last time, but I didn't expect that I would still come."

Prince Qing's mansion was secretly guarded by Prime Minister Su's people, if it wasn't for Liu Wuyan's superb disguise technique, it would be difficult for him to break out of the encirclement.

"Cousin! Kill this traitor!" The eldest prince who was kneeling at the front suddenly became excited, coughing and shouting: "Ahem! The candidate for the crown prince that my father favored from the beginning to the end is your cousin! The second son who usurped the throne by patricide! Absolutely! No! Yes! Yes!"

The first prince was almost insane, and the second prince yelled angrily: "The elder brother has become ill from depression and is already crazy! Come and send him back to the bedroom!"

"No! I'm not crazy!" the eldest prince said ferociously. "My lord, read it quickly! Read the imperial edict quickly!"

He can't get it!The second prince can't even imagine getting it!

The scheming Su Xiang didn't expect to overturn the car at the last moment. He looked at the long sword on his neck and smiled at Mu Yuanshu.

"Read it." He said, taking the lead and knelt down, with no fear in his eyes.

Mu Yuanshu looked at him and said with a sneer, "Maybe Su Xiang thinks that he can still get out of his body?"

Liu Wuyan led the men to escort Lu Ming to the crowd, with a stack of letters in his hand.

"Master Xiang should recognize it, whose handwriting is this?" Liu Wuyan raised the letters in his hand with a smile, picked out one and read it out.

Baiguan was in an uproar.

"Su Xiang...how...how come..."

Collaborating with an enemy country is a capital offense.

Lu Ming knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master Liu! I will say what I have to say! There is absolutely no secret! Please let me go..."

Lu Ming is a little bit of conscience, but Liu Wuyan cheated a little, threatened his widowed mother, and he did everything.

Su Xiang glanced at Liu Wuyan lightly, still without any fear on his face: "It's just some forged letters, and they can't be counted."

How could Liu Wuyan allow him to quibble, he added unhurriedly: "The ones found in the secret room of the prime minister's mansion... can't be counted?"

Chamber of Secrets!

Su Xiang's expression finally changed, and he asked sharply, "What did you say!"

"The secret room of Xiangfu...it's really a good place." Liu Wuyan took out another account book like a magic trick. "Su Xiang's meticulousness is beyond the reach of the younger generation. He is indeed a person who can do great things."

All officials, large and small, who have interests in dealing with Prime Minister Su are all registered in the register. This is Prime Minister Su's trick to manipulate other officials, but it also becomes evidence of his own clique for personal gain.

The prince read out the last emperor's edict.

Prime Minister Su's power was gone, and the second prince's face was ashen, unable to recover from the fall.

The eldest prince was already insane, and was still clamoring when he was escorted away: "Cousin, don't forget my credit! I brought you into the palace! It's me! It's my credit! I want to be a prince! I want to be a prince!" ..."

There was nothing wrong with the eldest prince, it was just that he was born in the emperor's family and couldn't help himself.

One is crazy, one is rebellious, and the other is too young to take on big responsibilities.

With the blessing of the imperial edict, it seemed reasonable for Mu Yuanshu to ascend the throne.

Liu Wuyan was afraid that people's hearts would be unstable, so he acted as a storyteller in the teahouse, telling the secrets of the palace.

In this life, he finally protected Mu Yuanshu.

"Brother Wen, don't worry, I will do what I promised you." Liu Wuyan was in a happy mood, and patted Wen Liang's shoulder. "Let's go, if you go late, you won't be able to catch up with the pick-up."

Hey wait!What did Liu Wuyan promise him? !

Looking at Liu Wuyan who strode away, Wen Liang couldn't help being dumbfounded.



Cui Chengyan lives alone in a clean and spacious special cell in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. A blind person can tell that the people locked up here are unusual.

"Master Cui, you can go out now."

The jailer opened the cell door with great respect.

This is the object that the prime minister specially took care of. If he fails to keep it in order, he will become a high-ranking official!

Cui Chengyan looked around, nodded and said, "Well, I'm leaving."

After staying for a while, I still feel a little bit reluctant.

However, before he left, he made a special suggestion to the jailer: "Don't stare all the time in the future, it's ugly."

The smile on the jailer's face couldn't hold back—Emma, ​​this is the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!Those who can come here are all serious criminals. If they are not vicious, how can they make the prisoners happy?

The jailer hated it to death, but he still said: "Master Cui, what you said is that we have to improve the service."

As everyone knows, after Cui Chengyan left, the jailer's eyes almost rolled to the sky.

Lu Ming was also locked up here, and Cui Chengyan greeted him before leaving.

"Zixing! Oh no! Master Cui! I know you have a good relationship with Liu Wuyan! For the sake of my classmate, help me to intercede! I have only been with Su for a long time! I don't know anything at all! You know I still have a widowed mother waiting for me to go back..."

Although Lu Ming was disheveled, his voice was loud and loud. It seemed that he could eat and drink well, and he had never been tortured.

Cui Chengyan was also in a good mood, so he talked to him.

"Well, don't worry, Auntie, I will send someone to look after her. As for you..."

Cui Chengyan looked at Lu Ming with shining eyes, and smiled shyly: "I heard that the scenery outside the Great Wall is beautiful, and it is most suitable for herding horses and sheep. I believe that when you go into exile, you will be able to cleanse your soul and change your past."

After finishing speaking, he muttered: "Is my relationship with Liu Wuyan good? Why don't I know..."

Cui Chengyan walked away, and Lu Ming's wailing echoed in the cell.

Exiled outside the Great Wall, nine out of ten will not come back.

What's more, Lu Ming was determined to get ahead, so he went to Su Xiangna after going astray. He thought that Liu Wuyan would give him a chance, but he didn't expect...

Lu Ming's heart was ashamed, how could he have forgotten that Liu Wuyan was known as "the judge with an iron face".

Passing from cell to cell, approaching the door.Cui Chengyan suddenly asked: "Cui Chenglu, are you also locked up here?"

The jailer didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Master Cui's gourd, so he could only take him there.

"Master Cui, time is limited, you have to hurry up."

Cui Chengyan thanked the jailer before walking to Cui Chenglu's cell.

Cui Chenglu was covered in blood, closed his eyes and leaned against the corner, looking like he had been tortured.

Cui Chengyan hesitated for a while, but still shouted: "Brother."

Cui Chenglu didn't open his eyes, but his eyelids moved slightly.

Cui Chengyan grows up so big, has he ever seen his elder brother look so unbearable?He sighed unceasingly, and even thought, on the first day Cui Chenglu stepped into the officialdom, did he ever imagine how it would end like this in the future?

"You won." Cui Chenglu turned his back to him, his voice hoarse. "You won."

From childhood to adulthood, it was Cui Chengyan who enjoyed all the love and praise, and it was Cui Chengyan who was praised all the time.He is obviously no worse than Cui Chengyan, but because of a pair of incompetent parents, he is always inferior to others.

Jealousy grows in the smallest things.He can ignore grandma's partiality, but why did Mr. Cen praise Cui Chengyan more than him in the academy?

How is he inferior to Cui Chengyan!

"The fire in the academy was caused by my second uncle." Cui Chenglu smiled mockingly. "I just said it casually, but I didn't expect the second uncle to take it seriously."

Although he kept persuading himself that it would be fine as long as Cui Chengyan died, but when the fire started, he quietly ran to see it because of his uneasy conscience.

"Master Wen happened to pass by and rescued you." Cui Chenglu sighed. "You are really lucky. Mr. Wen was burned to death just like that. I don't know if it was you who overcame it."

The truth is that simple.

Cui Chengyan thought he was passing by indifferently, but in fact he had planned it long ago.

"I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled." Cui Chenglu opened his eyes, he looked at his swollen fingers, and hooked the corners of his lips. "Obviously they are all the same, but why... are they different..."

"No, it's different." Cui Chengyan interrupted him, "You're just making excuses for yourself."

"You blame others, hate me, hate people who treat me well, you just want to cover up one thing."

"You have low self-esteem." Cui Chengyan said quietly. "Uncle and uncle hope that their son will become a dragon, and they want you to overwhelm my father. You want me to die, but you don't want me to die--if I die, no one can bring out your goodness. But if I don't die, you will have no chance to stand up. "

Therefore, Cui Chenglu chose the roundabout way of poisoning.

Seizing the Cui family's property for his father was only one of them, and watching the proud son of heaven fall from the clouds was his ultimate goal.

"I'm leaving." Cui Chengyan said goodbye earnestly, and did not forget to educate him at the end. "Be a good person in your next life."

When Cui Chengyan turned to leave, Cui Chenglu finally turned his head to give him a last look.

"Be... a good person?"

Cui Chenglu snorted, but when he closed his eyes——

"I hope so," he said.



Wen Liang waited outside the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but no one came out. He thought that Cui Chengyan had messed up something else.

Liu Wuyan has already become the prime minister, so it's impossible that words don't count, right?

Wen Liang was muttering, but saw the jailer walking out of the door with nothing to love, followed by another person.

"Liangliang!" Cui Chengyan was overjoyed, and pushed the person in front of him away.

The jailer who led the way was even more unlovable, but when he thought of finally being able to send this great Buddha away, his mood suddenly improved again.

"Master Cui, go slowly!"

The smoke disappeared.

Wen Liang was dumbfounded, Cui Chengyan held him in his arms: "I knew Liang Liang would come to pick me up!"

It is said that Xiaobie is better than a newlywed. He has been in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for several days. Liangliang should miss him very much, right?

Cui Chengyan was thinking flatteringly, while taking advantage of his unpreparedness——

"Don't kiss me!" Wen Liang turned his head angrily, and Cui Chengyan's lips brushed his cheek. "Dirty, go home!"

Although Cui Chengyan has just come out of prison, but he is the person Liu Wuyan asked to take care of him, how can he suffer?

Wen Liang's reddened ears betrayed him, and Cui Chengyan flattered him: "Liang Liang, don't be angry, we'll go home right away."

In fact, gentleness is just disgusting in the mouth.Cui Chengyan lost a lot of weight, and when he was hugging her, she could clearly feel her bones hurting.

Hmph, Liu Wuyan is lying again, didn't he say that he offered delicious food and drink?

Cui Chengyan didn't see Wen Liang's worry, and thought he was offending his wife again, so he quickly let go to prove his innocence: "Look, Liangliang, I'm not dirty! Although the clothes are a bit old, they are all clean, don't be angry ..."

This nerd!

Wen Liang smiled angrily, and said angrily: "Understood."

Cui Chengyan took his hand naturally, leaned into his ear and said, "Don't worry, I'm really fine."

"Who...who is worried about you." The dead duck is always stubborn, and Liangliang is always duplicity.

Cui Chengyan laughed loudly, blinked and said: "If Liangliang has to worry...then why not think about what to do about the next wedding? I heard that getting out of prison is very bad luck, so we have to have a happy event."

"Where did you hear this nonsense!" Wen Liang felt it was unbelievable, and his face flushed. "Who... who is going to get married..."

"Liangliang and me." Cui Chengyan said without thinking. "I can marry whatever I want, I have the final say in my family, of course, after Liangliang and I get married, it is Liangliang who has the final say."

Young Master Cui directly arranges himself clearly, Wen Liang sighs to himself.

"you you……"

Cui Chengyan is as thick-skinned as a city wall, Wen Liang, you haven't said anything for a long time.

"Liangliang can marry me with peace of mind!" Cui Chengyan promised mysteriously, "Heaven-sent marriage, we can't escape!"

This sounds...why is it so strange?

A few days later, Liu Wuyan came with the imperial decree, and congratulated him with cupped fists: "Brother Wen, as I said, I will definitely do what I promised you!"

Cui Chengyan was overjoyed: "Wow! Liangliang and I want to go together! I am so happy! Woooo..."

Do not!not like this!

Wen Liangsheng accepted the imperial decree without love, and he even doubted whether Liu Wuyan did it on purpose.

He obviously just wanted to fight for the Cui family's position as an imperial merchant, so why did it become a marriage letter? !

A man marrying a man... Don't you think it's absurd, Your Majesty!

"Oh, by the way, the emperor intends to revise the laws of Daqi. In the future, no matter whether it is a man and a woman, or a man and a man, or a woman and a woman, as long as they are two people who really love each other, they can form a good relationship."

Liu Wuyan smiled like an old father, and patted Wen Liang's shoulder: "Brother Wen, I'm sure I'll drink your glass of wedding wine."
