The villain king really doesn't want to rebel

A little eunuch carefully handed over the plate.

Wang Defu took the hand, placed his fingertips on the bottom of the cup and placed it on the table, turning it around twice, carefully allowing the two Highnesses to see more clearly.

"On the day of offering sacrifices to the ancestors, I touched the rim of this glass, but it didn't touch my lips. I poured the wine inside into the interlayer of my sleeve." Wen Zibo picked up a familiar glass with a long clip on the plate. Jinmian, his body has recovered quite quickly recently, and he has been able to walk around the palace in the past few days.

Wen Zibo also found it absurd, he found that it was the effect of an egg, one day Wen Yan brought a bird's egg, she asked the imperial dining room to cook it, and specifically ordered it to be brought directly without breaking the shell.

It was the first time Wen Zibo ate the eggshell of a poultry. He asked Wen Yan what kind of bird's egg it was, and it had a wonderful herbal aroma when he chewed it.

Seeing that he had eaten all of it, Wen Yan said that she accidentally read it from an ancient medical book, saying that the whole body of the red lotus bird can be made into a medicine that keeps people alive.

Even the empress dowager had seen the emperor, and she said that it must be the strange bird egg that worked.

Now Wen Yan looked at the emperor sitting in front of him, whose lips were obviously turning red, and thought that his 3000 taels of gold were not in vain, money can be used wisely.

But this kind of opportunity is only once, and the emperor has only one life. If this situation happens again next time, no matter how many medical relics there are, it will not be able to save Wen Zibo's life.

If there is a next time...

The girl slightly suppressed the seriousness in her eyes, and the walnuts swirling in her hands were squeezed out with a creaking sound.

"A Yan?" There was an intimate childhood name in her ear, Wen Yan smiled as if nothing had happened, and continued what Wen Zibo said just now.

"Alcohol is non-toxic. I have had people experience it. The entrances and exits inside the wine jug are also creations of the palace, and they have not been tampered with by people." Wen Yan pointed to the piece of eyes A handkerchief of no color, "I also took all these things, but there is no strange trace of toxicity."

After the accident, Wen Yan had already had the imperial physician examine all the places that might be poisoned, especially the objects that had any physical contact with Wen Zibo, which was the most important thing.

But now, in all the results spread out in front of them, no trace of poison was found anywhere.

The prince was also puzzled and said, "Before His Majesty served every dish at the banquet that day, the servant had to taste it with silver chopsticks. The adults in the Imperial Hospital also tested the pulse for the servant, and there was no abnormality."

Wen Yan coiled the walnut in her hand. Now that she has calmed down, she often needs to adjust with external objects.She circled around several times, suddenly remembered a person, and asked Wang Defu, "I heard that Lu Mingzhi's son came out?"

Eunuch Wang: "Yes, it came out some time before the essay test, and it is said that it is preparing for the essay test next week."

Wen Yan hummed lightly, "Brother, when the law is revised next year, it should be added that those who have committed crimes and entered prison cannot take any exams."

The emperor nodded, and the princes next to him began to memorize it.

There will be no "Lu Mingde" name in the student list of Beijing High School next year, but Wen Yan can also be sure that this year's preliminary exam will be the last time he will refer to Lu Mingde.

Later, the brother and sister played a game of chess after a long absence, and had a hearty time. When Wen Yan was about to leave the palace, his face also showed a rare lightness recently.

At the last moment when she stepped out of the threshold, Wen Zibo stopped her.

"Ayan." The handsome emperor sat quietly in the sun, his lips moved, and finally Wen Yan looked at his brother and just smiled gently, "Be careful on the road, I will let the dark guards find you if something happens .”

It was a long time later that Wen Yan knew what Wen Zibo hadn't said that day.

In the end, though, it's not too late.

The imperial mausoleum is heavily guarded. Luo Hanjue is standing on a tall tree. From this position, she can see a particularly new stone tablet in the middle of the square, which is the tomb of Emperor Liang Wen.

She stared at it from a distance for a long time, as if every glance was the last.The wind blew through her thoughts, Luo Hanjue blinked and jumped off the tree.

She still has a place to go.

These days, there are many things in the dark prison that she can't get away from. Before Wen Zibo fully wakes up, she stays with Wen Yan in the palace, basically running between the palace and the barracks.

Even though every day is filled with a full schedule, those riddle-like words would come out of my mind from time to time on the night of fighting against Pang Yongyi.

What did Pang Yongyi's dying words mean?Luo Hanjue didn't know, but after offering incense to her mother before going out, she told herself that she had to do it.

No matter what it is, at least as an heir, she must know exactly what Luo Yebing experienced back then.

After her father died that year, the eunuch who came to deliver the decree said that Luo Yebing's body was properly buried by the late emperor, but the strange thing was that she was the only one who didn't tell her where it was buried.Luo Hanjue remembered the arrogance on that eunuch's face, as if Luo Yebing was treated with heavenly courtesy, and was placed in an excellent geomantic treasure by Emperor Liang Wen.

She must not believe it. She had doubts about the First World War back then, but now that Pang Yongyi had said it, Luo Hanjue had to think about it.

So she came to the imperial mausoleum first. Emperor Liang Wen was not considered stupid in his early years, and the beginning of his end was probably when he mobilized all the power of the whole country to start building his own mausoleum.

I don't know when Emperor Liang Wen became obsessed with Fengshui divination, and the city residents often saw people who came out of the palace posting the imperial list on the city wall, and then there appeared many inexplicable quack warlocks, alchemy immortals When the list was revealed, he was respectfully invited into the palace.

At the beginning, it was just tossing some elixir for nourishing blood and nourishing health, until one day the emperor suddenly woke up in a dream and said that he had been hit by a bad feng shui, and after death, he would be entangled by Yin soldiers and could not enter reincarnation, so Emperor Liang Wen began to build his own tomb after death .

All the surrounding hills were ordered to be bulldozed. It was not a small project to move the rocks for several years, especially in those years when droughts and floods were natural disasters. up.

At that time, it was the darkness of the beam, the front line was tight, and the waste of civil engineering and manpower in the rear was almost filled with complaints.

Daliang seemed to be gradually dragged into the darkness by an invisible hand.

Luo Hanjue practiced lightness kung fu, and his light figure shuttled among the bushes.

After her father left, her mother's tomb was buried by her own hands. No, it should be put another way. An Li gave Luo Hanjue an address when she was dying, hoping that she would be buried there after her death.

Luo Hanjue walked step by step to the mountain in her memory, the place that should be unknown except for her, until she saw a man standing in front of her mother's tomb, a man who was sweeping and laying flowers for Anli's tombstone .

"Why? You're here."

The man squatting in front of the tomb heard the footsteps, he stood up and turned to face the relatives who were similar to his old friends, the man thought to himself, this day has finally come.

She endured the anger and the surprise in her heart, Luo Hanjue's eyes were brightened by anger, she remembered him with that face.

Everything is getting weird.

-------------------------------------

The hustle and bustle of the day and night also fell asleep quietly after the last candle oil was burned out.

At this point in the night, the city defenses were completely dark, and there was still a candle in the palace that should have rested early. Liu Qing was kneeling on the ground, talking like rice washing water, reporting all the results of her observations these days to her conscientiously. immediate boss.

Wen Yan sat behind the table, "What has Lu Mingde been doing lately?"

Liu Qing responded: "Recently, apart from going to Xu Lei's appointment, I had a gathering in Lan Lou and served him at his father's bedside day and night, and then stayed in the room all the time, and sometimes the meals would go directly to the kitchen Take it directly, and rarely invite servants into his yard."

Wen Yan nodded, "The last time I asked you to send a letter to Dali Temple, was there any reaction there?"

Liu Qing continued: "Qin Zan also found out that the deceased was a cousin of the Lu family from another province, who had come to attend Lu Mingde's original engagement, but the Lu family was annulled, and the deceased has been staying in several brothels in the capital. , the last person he came into contact with was Luo Yunjiao."

"Now Dali Temple is starting to focus on the Xu family."

"It's just..." Liu Qing hesitated, "It's been a long time since my subordinates noticed that Luo Yunjiao came in and out of Luo's house or appeared beside Xu Lei. It seems that she disappeared from Luo's house a week ago."

Wen Yan touched the candlestick, and pointed his finger at the warm temperature: "Unless she is dead and buried in the ground, she cannot die for no reason as a living person. I will give you enough time to observe her communication more." Follow the clues, I want to know her whereabouts."

"Okay, let's go down and get the reward, it's a good job."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After Liu Qing left, there was only one person left in the study.

Leaning against the table, clasping warm words on his chest, he said nothing, his pretty little face seemed to be filled with the silence of night stars.

The system has always wanted to say that Wen Yan's silent appearance has a sense of tranquility of an old man, but it dare not, why?

——Because I was afraid of being hammered.

The once young and ignorant little system said this once, and Wen Yan felt that it was saying that she was old, so it was locked up in a small dark room all afternoon.

Wen Yan raised his eyes to look at a four-foot-long vertical painting on the wall. The dim candlelight lightly illuminated the girl's smooth side arc, projecting on the ambiguous ink-colored water marks.The man of light seems to have melted into the ink painting in front of him, perhaps because the candlelight is almost exhausted, and the pupils of the girl standing in front of the painting cannot reflect a little light.

"system."

"exist!"

The sound was so loud that it made Wen Yan's frozen eyes lighten. The girl pressed her temples on both sides and said helplessly, "Don't be so loud."

"Okay, okay." The system's voice immediately returned to normal, "Do you need anything?"

"Did you collect the things I asked you to pay attention to at the last banquet?"

"Yes, I have integrated all the data," the system said, quickly releasing a holographic projection in the sea of ​​consciousness.

There are countless water ripples on the transparent bluish panel, and there are realistic faces and corresponding positions between the square grids.

This is a list, and the faces recorded on this list are the officials who attended the banquet that night.

The system has scanning and statistics functions, which Wen Yan discovered by accident, how unintentionally.

It was when she was watching a polygonal family emotional ethics drama that she felt the discomfort of being face-blind for the first time. A large number of complicated relationships between characters and countless unknown bloodlines almost made Wen Yan's memory disorder again. Claiming that it has the function of recording, Wen Yan simply arranged all the characters in the film one by one, and then her viewing speed doubled.

Feeling the consciousness authority connected with the system, Wen Yan's consciousness moved, and the faces and text in the grid were quickly connected and interlaced. A color is specially marked out.

With the efficiency of the system and Wen Yan's own strong spiritual sense, a brand new list was released in a few breaths.

Wen Yan browsed quickly and nodded with satisfaction.

The system looks at these red boxes and asks: "Are these marked people dangerous people who need special vigilance?"

Wen Yan: "It's not dangerous. Wen Zibo always had a few thorns in the beginning when he was in power. He was stupid and couldn't clean up his little tricks. In the past few years, the moths that can be pulled out have been abolished early. And these are indeed somewhat different, and it is necessary to strengthen vigilance against these people, but it is not these people that we should be most wary of right now."

The system's intellectual brain turned a quarter to know who the host was referring to.

"Are you referring to King You?"

"That's right." Wen Yan replied briefly with two words, Wen Yan didn't think the system would guess wrong.

The former prince Wen Zilan's current title is "You".

It's funny to say that Wen Zilan is the only prince in Daliang who was established as the crown prince when he was born by the emperor in the past hundred years. He was born with glory and was favored by the late emperor.

Although the first emperor took good care of the rest of his heirs, everyone knew his favor for Wen Zilan, which was also the reason why the Yu family was favored and secretly suppressed the other prominent families in Beijing.

Naturally, Wen Zilan's biological mother, Concubine Yu, was also a favorite for a while. The power of the mother and son in the harem at that time, except for the dead rule of the first emperor not to allow the harem to kill the emperor's heirs, Concubine Yu was able to do all the things that people can do, of course. It's not something that people can do, and she doesn't lack one.

But there is a saying that "the extreme of prosperity must decline, and the extreme of things must reverse."

Who would have thought that Wen Zilan would later become the first His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who took the initiative to force the palace but was turned against him since the founding of the Liang Dynasty? The person on the chair changed hands.

Father killing plus murdering the current emperor, even the most favored His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if these two crimes have even a little edge, people don’t know how many times they can be killed. Nizi would have died three years ago without a whole body.But even Wen Yan didn't expect that, before the last emperor died, the last sentence of punishment for Wen Zilan was to dethrone the crown prince.

When Wen Zibo heard the first emperor's eunuch read this sentence at the enthronement ceremony, his usually expressionless face sneered on the spot, making the old eunuch's face flush.Wen Yan also sneered again and again, she thought that the late emperor would at least be exiled, but Wen Yan and the others still underestimated Wen Zilan's position in the late emperor's heart.

It's not the evil seed that came out of his own stomach. It seems that Emperor Wen of Liang is really sick and confused.

The next day, the first decree drawn up by the new emperor after ascending the throne was to bestow the title "You" on the former crown prince Wen Zilan.

Tracing back to which living prince in the past dynasties would be named "you".Everyone knows Wen Zibo's attitude. If death is not enough, Wen Zilan's worldly prestige will be wiped out, and he will not leave the capital forever. .

Of course, the conditions for killing the latter will not be made known to the public, only those close to the emperor will know.

All the royal family must be present to worship the ancestors.

Thinking of this, Wen Yan really felt that Wen Zilan was really lucky. He escaped the death penalty and didn't suffer much for the living crime. On the contrary, the few of them couldn't slack off as if they were guarding against wolves. Who was forcing this.Finally, after much deliberation, Shao □ □ beautiful lips spit out a few words: "Damn old man."

Everything is the emperor's fault.

He gave birth to a good son, but turned out to be a crowd of people.

Moreover, Wen Yan didn't forget Wen Zilan's performance at the banquet that day, it was really strange.She also let the system keep observing the situation on the prime minister's side, and there was nothing unusual about Yu Lingyi in the recorded images.

The man had been drinking on his own, sitting alone at the table without any verbal communication with the rest of the people. Wen Yan flipped through the video several times, zooming in and found that Yu Lingyi had never even met anyone else's eyes, but Sit honestly in your seat and drink.Not once left.

Wen Yan still slandered viciously, this old fox was quite tolerant, the men next to him who drank less than him had already been helped out and vomited three times, and he still poured himself a drink with a dull expression.

However, Wen Yan would not rule out Wen Zilan's suspicion of causing trouble.She did not forget what Wen Zilan said at the moment when the fireworks flew up.

"Thank you."

Wen Yan understands lip language, so she didn't miss Wen Zilan's strange reaction.

Wen Yan was sure that Wen Zilan had done something wrong, since he was not at the banquet, he could only be in front.

Thinking of this, Wen Yan slowly opened her eyes and fell into the flow of memory, and the fine fragments were scattered in her consciousness. The system's auxiliary planning can further improve her thinking.

The blue data is constantly flowing in the space, 0 and 1 compose the origin of the data, and even further back, some small blue lights appear around her at some point, but the system seems to be unable to see these strange changes, letting These weird externalizations are scattered everywhere.

Until Wen Yan's consciousness found the tear that Wen Zilan shed at that time, and the direction of his eyes at that time.The body in reality trembled slightly, those tiny particles fluttered like frightened fireflies for a moment, and the blue color gradually faded until it merged with the night.

Wen Yan opened his eyes, completely clear.

At that time, everyone was looking at the lights, but Wen Zilan was the only one who was looking at the emperor on the altar, no, to be precise, he was looking at the person next to Wen Zibo.

At that time, the sacrificial ceremony had come to the end, and the person who could stand next to the emperor in the end could only be the one who presented the emperor with wine, and the number of priests in the Liang Dynasty who held the official position of Jiuzheng in recent years has not changed.

The slightly opened curtains lightly passed through the fading moonlight, all the candles were extinguished at this moment, and the light and darkness in the study returned to the exact timeline.

Wen Yan slowly closed his eyes.

After a long time, Wen Yan snorted softly.

In the night, endless ridicule and weirdness hovered in the girl's heart.

You don't even know that Wen Zibo is allergic to alcohol, you guys are really more brainless than ten Luo Yunjiao.

-------------------------------------

General's House.

Luo Hanjue asked the uninvited guest under the moonlight, "What are you guys doing here?"

"What are you doing?" The leading man asked back, as if he had heard a very funny joke, his tall body couldn't hide his unrestrained smile, which was especially obvious in the silent night around him.

"Brother! Don't laugh like this at night. How many times have I told you that you are so scary."

"Okay, okay, you are so timid, I told you not to let you come out, you still come." The man muttered, but unfortunately, his low voice only made Anya more annoyed, and the girl kicked directly at her. Upper Arruda's flank.

"You little bastard..."

Luo Hanjue stood by the wall and watched coldly, until the younger sister found that their playfulness was inappropriate, and patted his brother on the back to let him see the general's expression.

"I think the negotiation between your Excellency and our court has not yet been completed. Now that you are trespassing on the private residence of an important official in Daliang, I can regard the two of you as criminals with malicious intentions."

Aruda wanted to pretend at first, but it seemed that Luo Hanjue was really in a bad mood today, and before he was allowed to pretend to be mysterious for a while, the coldness of the sharp blade came straight to his face.

He pushed Anya to the corner, swung the blade at his waist and challenged her heartily.

The moon wheel moved round and round until Luo Hanjue knocked off the handle of the prince's sword. She raised the point of the gun and fixed it on the man's throat. "Let me ask one last time, what is the purpose of your coming?"

Aruda's throat rolled, and he said harshly, "Can't I just come and see you?"

The coldness in Luo Hanjue's eyes was even worse, "If the prince continues to talk nonsense like this, I can't guarantee how you will get out later." The tip of her spear moved forward, "I hope you can walk out standing up."

The Nanman man gritted his teeth, thinking that this violent temper was really strong, but Aruda's mood was better. He could see everything Luo Hanjue liked now, probably because his mentality was completely different.

Any thoughtful leader and warrior will not let go of a good seedling from his own race.He had to take her with him.

"Okay, let me tell you, let me be honest, you put the gun away." For some reason, Luo Hanjue felt that the foreign man in front of him was different from any of the past, and became...more slick.

Aruda swallowed, and spit out a sentence that he thought about rehearsing how many times before he came.

"Luo Hanjue."

"Actually, your mother Anli is our aunt."
