Chapter 57 The original species of unicorn, how can ants escape

East time belongs to spring, and the color belongs to blue, so the glazed tiles of the East Palace, like Wenyuan Pavilion, are all blue.

The construction of the entire Eastern Palace is similar to that of the entire Imperial Palace, as if a small Imperial Palace has been built within the Imperial Palace.

The left and right side halls in the front hall and back yard were supposed to be full of the prince's wives and concubines, but the grown prince spent most of his space and energy on carpentry.So far, only the crown prince lives in the East Palace.

In the study room of the East Palace, came a male voice full of air: "Your Highness, I beg your Highness to let Feng Suzhen go!"

The prince was distraught: "Dongfang Sheng, I have already agreed to your request in the afternoon, you must know how to be content!"

"Your Highness, these are two different things!" Dongfang Sheng earnestly said, "What you promised me this afternoon is about the little prince—"

The prince interrupted him: "But you only promised me one thing!"

Dongfang Sheng said helplessly: "The minister is willing to be loyal to His Highness and be driven by His Highness. Isn't this worth two things?"

The crown prince shook his head and said: "These are not two matters, these are two human lives, two public cases, and two confessions!" He paused and said, "Dongfang Sheng, I can promise you that I will take your title and let Xiao The prince takes over the title and guarantees his life. But Feng Suzhen's matter concerns my sister and the country's laws and regulations, so I cannot make a decision lightly."

"Your Highness—" Dongfang Sheng's facial muscles twitched slightly, and even the scar on his face looked even more terrifying.He lowered his voice and said, "I am willing to sacrifice my fame and life to assassinate the emperor, so as to help His Highness ascend the throne as soon as possible!"

The prince was terrified and shouted angrily: "Dongfang Sheng, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Dongfang Sheng took a step forward: "Your Highness, you probably can't bear His Majesty's overbearing and arbitrary decision! Don't worry, after the matter is done, I will kill you without saying a word! Outsiders will only think that I am because of Feng Suzhen. For the sake of—"

"Shut up, shut up!" The prince blocked him in a loud voice, "Dongfang Sheng, do you think this will save Feng Suzhen's life? Idiot! Don't think what you shouldn't think, don't do what you shouldn't do! You You can’t stay overnight in the palace, go out of the palace quickly!”

He hastily called the guards in and escorted Dongfang Sheng out.

Dongfang Sheng staggered a few steps outside the East Palace, and saw a young man with sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes walking towards him.

When the other party saw him, there was a faint look of astonishment on his face, and when he passed by, he turned his face away unnaturally.

Dongfang Sheng was a little confused, and couldn't help but turn his head to look, but before the figure of the man caught his eye, it was the eaves of strange beasts standing in the side hall of the East Palace.He moved his eyes down and saw the candlelight reflected on the window lattice, and couldn't help shrinking his pupils, as if he had been stabbed.

The ground dragon was burning in the side hall of the East Palace. Even though the north wind was howling outside the window, the room was still warm and pleasant, but because the window could not be opened, it was somewhat stuffy.

There are beds and couches in the hall, candles are lit, snacks and tea are placed, and even a few books are placed.

This situation is not the same as the imagined "take down".

Feng Shaoqing closed the book in his hand, his eyes moved, and he saw his daughter Feng Suzhen sitting in front of the brazier, closing her eyes and meditating.

Feng Shaoqing thought and thought, and finally couldn't help but said: "Su'er, in fact, if you just agreed to the emperor, it would be fine."

Waves swept across Feng Suzhen's calm face, she raised her eyelids and looked at her father unexpectedly.

Feng Shaoqing swallowed nervously and said: "My daughter is so outstanding that she can be a princess. Even though the prince is cowardly, as long as he becomes emperor in the future, with my Suer's ability, it is not difficult to be a queen. of."

Feng Suzhen smiled bitterly: "Father, what are you talking about?"

Feng Shaoqing hurriedly explained: "Su'er, if you don't like the crown prince, then Dongfang Sheng can do it too—" Thinking of the grievances between Dongfang Houfu and his own family, Feng Shaoqing gritted his teeth, "Although he is in an embarrassing position in the royal family, he is watching for my father. He is much more stable than a year ago, and he is a responsible man. He will definitely not follow his father's old way of wishful thinking, and he will definitely be able to protect you for the rest of his life!"

Feng Suzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Father, whether it's the prince or Dongfang Sheng, I will never marry them."

Feng Shaoqing was disappointed: "Su'er, do you still think about Li Zhaoting? But he is already married - how can my father be willing to let you be a concubine for someone else!"

Feng Suzhen shook her head: "No, no, my relationship with Zhao Ting has been broken." She hesitated for a while, and said frankly, "Father, my refusal is not only because I don't want to marry. It's because I am unwilling to become a chips."

"Chip?"

Feng Suzhen said slowly: "Father, you have been away from Beijing for a long time, but you should also know that today's mental skills are extraordinary, and you can't use common sense to deal with it. Tonight's Hongmen banquet, I am not the protagonist, but just a bargaining chip."

"Father, I thought a lot on the carriage when I came here. The emperor has always been responsible for 'controlling but not dying, and not chaotic', so for so many years, he didn't kill Dongfanghou, Dongfangsheng, Yuxian, and If he doesn't take the initiative to kill me, he will squeeze out the last bit of value from me. And the last remaining value of me as a son-in-law is to drive Dongfang Sheng and the prince apart."

"At that time in the palace, it didn't matter whether I agreed to the marriage or not, what mattered was the reaction of Dongfang Sheng and the prince. If Dongfang Sheng and the prince didn't care about me, I would have to die. But as long as they show the slightest bit of support for me Intention, I have weight."

"I can either marry the prince and bury Dongfang Sheng's hatred in my heart, hoping that he will repeat the mistakes of the Marquis of Dongfang in the future; or I can marry Dongfang Sheng, let him be firmly held by the emperor, and let him become the prince A thorn in his side, planting a curse for him."

"The emperor knew my identity a long time ago, but he kept silent all the time. He didn't invent a decree to arrest me. Instead, he quietly brought me into the palace and exposed my identity in front of the clan. Just now he didn't mention my disguise as a man." But by talking about marriage, with a few words, I turned the state affairs of my disguise as a man into his royal family affairs."

"The emperor's move can firstly erase everything about Feng Shaomin and complete Princess Tianxiang's reputation; secondly, it can turn the case of the daughter-in-law into a romantic talk; thirdly, it can be used to control his nephews—the emperor's heart, not With common sense, if I really get involved in this wrestling, I'm afraid it will be more sad than dying."

After hearing this analysis, Feng Shaoqing was dumbfounded. He was dumb for a while, completely indifferent to analyze the cause and effect of Feng Suzhen's words, so he could only say in a dejected manner: "Su'er, it's all because of my father. It's my father who dragged you into this situation." In the muddy water of the court, it is difficult to move, and you can't get out."

Feng Suzhen looked calm: "Father, I stepped into this muddy water myself, so how can I blame you?"

Feng Shaoqing couldn't help blaming herself: "If, alas, if you were allowed to marry Zhao Ting in peace, then, there wouldn't be so many things! It's all me, it's all my fault... If I had done it for you early Marry Zhao Ting, and now you can live a peaceful life as husband and wife."

Feng Suzhen was silent for a while, then suddenly said in a low voice: "Father, sooner or later, you will have to accept the fact that the daughter you raised with your own hands is a different person and will have a life that is different from other ordinary daughters. .”

Feng Shaoqing was startled: "Su'er, Dad only hopes that you can live happily."

Feng Suzhen said sternly: "Father, the so-called happiness is just an inner feeling. If you seek it from outside, it is absurd. Dongfanghou has a wife, son, right, and wealth. Is his life happy? Concubine Ju married into the royal family, alone Below, above ten thousand people, is her life happy? How can I judge whether I am happy or not based on marriage?"

She sighed: "If I want to live a happy life, it's not just about marrying and having children. If I do what I want, live up to my conscience, live an open life, have a bright heart in life, and have no regrets when I die, this is also a kind of happiness. "

Feng Shaoqing felt a little uneasy when he heard it, so he had to interrupt: "Su'er, now our father and daughter are both fish on the chopping board, it's useless to say anything..."

Feng Suzhen shook her head thoughtfully: "No, it's not yet a dead end. The chessboard is full of chess pieces. It seems that there are many sides fighting each other, and every step is a dead end. In fact, the key winner has always been in one place. Today I Standing still on the Golden Palace, risking death to survive, is also a gamble -- now it seems that I can still gamble."

Feng Shaoqing looked at her blankly, why couldn't he understand a word her daughter said?

Feng Suzhen smiled, and put her hand on the back of her father's: "Father, life is nothing but life and death. My daughter has grown up and is no longer as ignorant as before. I only hope that my father will love and respect me. Father learn to let go, your whole life is not for me."

Feng Shaoqing heard that Feng Suzhen seemed to have some plans, and immediately panicked: "Su'er, what are you—"

Just as Feng Suzhen was about to speak, there was a muffled sound outside, and in an instant, someone pushed the door open——

"Quick, follow me!"

Shan Shiwen was anxious.

Outside the emperor's bedroom, the Beijing camp guards in silver armor replaced the original imperial guards, keeping the emperor's bedroom airtight.

A shadow in a fox fur cloak stood quietly at the gate of the palace. The moon cage was light and the night was silent. Her figure looked thin and desolate in front of the dark and huge palace.

The palace door opened quickly, and Gu Quan hurriedly said: "Princess, come in quickly, it's cold outside!"

Tianxiang stepped across the high threshold slowly, but her legs softened for a moment, and she almost fell.Gu Quan quickly supported her and helped her to the emperor's bed.

The emperor said anxiously: "Why did you come into the palace? Doesn't it mean that the injury is still not healed? What if the wound opens?"

Tianxiang sat down in front of the emperor's couch: "Father, my injury is almost healed, and it's not so easy to crack. It's just that I got a few needles from the doctor in the afternoon, and my hands and feet are sore—how are you?"

The emperor's expression froze: "You are young, and you will recover soon, so it's okay. I'm fine, just a little lack of energy."

Tianxiang said: "Father, you are getting old, you should calm down and recuperate."

The emperor bowed his head: "Yes, I am old... I am so old that my eyes are dim, and I actually picked a female concubine for you! Xiang'er, Father, I am sorry..."

Tianxiang shook her head: "Father...you didn't feel sorry for me...it's my daughter, I'm sorry for you."

"Stupid child, what stupid things are you talking about!" The emperor rarely showed a little kindness on his face, "You have always been my favorite and most worry-free child."

Tianxiang said in a low voice: "Father, I have been playing around since I was a child, aren't you angry with me?"

The emperor sighed: "No, you have always been very sensible, very sensible-what you do is what you should do. You are a child, how can a child not play around? You are my daughter, So what if I'm too spoiled? At most, I'll be distracted and just take care of you—you've given me much more peace of mind than your brother."

Tianxiang's heart was sour: "Father, I have grown up, you don't need to worry about me anymore."

The emperor responded smoothly: "Yes, yes, my good daughter has grown up and doesn't need me as an old father anymore... When Zhang Shaomin comes back from the local area, I will let him take over the burden of my worries—I will give it to you." You marry me!"

Tianxiang's breath stagnates: "Father, I will not marry Zhang Shaomin."

The emperor hurriedly said: "Xiang'er, don't worry, I have exposed Feng Suzhen's identity in public, no one dares to dislike my daughter!"

Tianxiang lowered her brows and said resolutely: "Father, I don't want to marry anyone."

The emperor thought for a while, and said angrily: "Xiang'er, if you are afraid of any rumors, I will order to kill Feng Suzhen now, and have her dead at the gate of Beijing, so that everyone in the imperial city can see clearly what she is. !"

Tian Xiang knelt down and said in a mournful voice: "No, my daughter's only wish is to ask Father to forgive her and let her go! She didn't do anything wrong!"

"You, you, what are you doing?" The emperor was heartbroken, "Father feels sorry for you being deceived by this lowly servant girl, cheating you into marrying me, and ruining your reputation, yet you are helping her to intercede! What is she?"

Tian Xiang earnestly said: "Father, it doesn't matter whether she is a man or a woman, whether she is Feng Shaomin or Feng Suzhen. She has contributed to the court and has wisdom and sentiments that ordinary people can't match. Doesn't this make up for her crimes?"

The emperor stared at Tianxiang, and a few words spilled from between his teeth: "The king's prestige must not be violated; the imperial power must not be bullied."

His chest was heaving violently, and he was about to burst out with anger: "I admire her talent and elegance, and that's why I want her to marry into the royal family and make this farce into a good talk. But she categorically refused." , clearly despise the royal family! Despise me!"

Tianxiang shook her head: "Father, you have been arbitrarily determined for too long, and you no longer know what it means to be considerate. The elder brother of the prince does not want to marry, Feng Suzhen does not want to marry, but you want to mess up the mandarin ducks, and you blame others for not being grateful to you." What is the reason for this reward."

The emperor suddenly came to his senses: "You, did you already know Feng Suzhen's identity?"

Tianxiang stared straight into the emperor's eyes: "Yes. She told me her identity a long time ago, and I was the one who was willing to hide it for her. Therefore, she can't be regarded as lying to me."

The emperor thought of the previous rumors about the deep affection between the princess and his wife, his pupils shrank, and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Do you like Feng Suzhen?"

Tianxiang's eyes flashed, and she calculated the time in her heart. At this time, Shan Shiwen should have taken Feng's father and daughter out of the city.She gritted her teeth and straightened her back, and said frankly, "...Yes, I like her."

"You...you rebellious girl!"

On a cold winter night, the breath turns into ice.In the night, three people in black and fur cloaks hurried along the tall palace wall, like ghosts and ghosts, only the white mist rising from time to time and the faint panting sound proved that they were three living people.

In the hidden place outside the Imperial Horse Prison, a four-horse cart came into view.

One person asked in a low voice: "Shan Shiwen, how do we leave the palace? Just sit in the carriage and go out in a fair manner?"

"My son-in-law—you don't have to worry, this carriage is specially made. Because Mr. Song has made changes before, there is a hollow interlayer for shock absorption at the bottom. I have already dealt with it when I came here. You are hidden in the interlayer of this carriage. You can go out of the palace. The car has prepared gold, silver, and paper guides, and I will take you south to Huizhou to find a place to live!"

Feng Suzhen was startled: "Is she here too?"

Shan Shiwen asked nervously, "What?"

Feng Suzhen's voice softened a bit: "You didn't enter the palace alone, otherwise, how could you drive a carriage into the palace?"

Shan Shiwen understood who the "she" she was asking was, and replied: "The princess is going down to meet His Majesty—we must go out before the palace gate is locked, hurry up and get in the car!"

Feng Suzhen nodded, turned to Feng Shaoqing and said, "Father is fat, let's get in the car first!"

Feng Shaoqing nodded again and again, awkwardly climbed into the car and lay down in the disassembled interlayer, Feng Suzhen followed.

Shan Shiwen looked left and right, and was relieved to see no one around.

He was about to get in the car to restore the mezzanine to its original state, but when he saw Feng Suzhen jumping off, he asked in surprise, "Why don't you lie down?"

Feng Suzhen answered irrelevantly: "My father has fallen asleep, and there may be trouble for a while after waking up, you don't need to pay attention to it, just take him away." After that, she gave a deep salute, "There is a labor order guard who is urgent and kind, if there is a chance , Feng will definitely repay you!"

Shan Shiwen took two steps back, glanced inside the car, and saw that Feng Suzhen had covered the upturned baffle: "You——no, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just doing my duty! The princess will you Entrust it to me, and I must take you away!"

Feng Suzhen smiled slightly: "Shan guard, do you always think that the princess is a very good person?"

Shan Shiwen said without hesitation: "Our princess is naturally very good! Otherwise, how could I have been deceived by you and kept trying to hide it for you? How could it be that I worked hard with serious injuries... So, don't let her down Your kindness!"

Feng Suzhen lowered her head, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she put her hand on the warm and soft black fur coat on her body: "Yes, all along, she has protected me behind me, and I was able to be in this scene. Keep yourself safe."

She raised her head, with a soft light in her eyes: "She has never imposed her desire on me, never forced me, she has always been wronged by herself—so, this time, I can't escape, I will Never run away!"

The study in the East Palace was piled with carpentry materials all the year round, even in winter, it was not easy to light the charcoal basin, only the earth dragon was burned, and only a few lamps were lit in front of the prince's desk in the room.

The prince checked the memorial and the mansion copy before the case, and there were still twenty days before the new year, and there were really a lot of things piled up on hand.

He reached out to touch the already half-cold tea, but pressed a piece of paper. He moved his eyes and saw the words on the paper clearly, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

There was a knock on the door, the prince casually brought the letter paper close to the candle and burned it, and said casually, "Come in."

He threw the burning letter on the ground and stomped it out with the boots embroidered with unicorns. He heard the footsteps of the person coming in lightly, and said, "Those three people left? The guards who were transferred can be transferred back. "

The visitor was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Shan Shiwen entered the palace late at night, did he meet His Highness first?"

Hearing this familiar but much softer voice, the prince was taken aback for a moment, raised his head, and saw Feng Suzhen's familiar yet unfamiliar face.Her hair was pulled back, and it was still combed into a man's bun. The figure of a slim woman was covered by a large official robe. Under the dim candlelight, she was still a handsome young gentleman.

The crown prince raised his eyebrows, glanced towards the door, and saw Mr. Wang saluting him.The crown prince nodded and waved his hand, and Director Wang closed the door of the study.

The crown prince looked up at Feng Suzhen, and sighed: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you—yes, that's right, letting you go out is a matter of solitary consent. But, you left as soon as you left, and what did you come back for?"

Feng Suzhen made a long bow: "Feng Suzhen, a daughter of the people, thank you Your Highness for saving your life in the Golden Palace today."

The prince clicked his tongue softly: "You turned back just to thank me? That's unnecessary. I will protect you in the palace because I swore in front of Tian Xiang: whether I am the prince or the emperor, I will never hurt you at all." , and you will never be allowed to be hurt in front of me."

"So that's how it is..." Feng Suzhen thought thoughtfully, "Why did Your Highness agree to such a thing as the princess?"

The prince said: "She is my younger sister, the person I love the most in this world. If she comes to beg me, I will agree. I didn't quite understand at the beginning. She was obviously injured, but she wanted to ask for grace for you." .Now, I understand..." He sighed, "My sister entered the palace wounded, and handed me a note, saying that she is going to deal with the emperor's side, and I just need to let you go."

The crown prince cast his eyes on Feng Suzhen again, saw her expression was unclear, thoughtful, and said again: "Tianxiang treats you like this, so Gu loves the house and Wu. Today in the palace, the father gave you two choices. But I don't want to marry you." You don't force you to marry anyone, and my sister doesn't allow me to kill you, so I now give you a third choice: hide your name, hide in the world, and let the name Feng Suzhen disappear."

Feng Suzhen bowed to the ground: "Your Highness, in fact, there is a fourth option."

"Oh?" The prince was suspicious.

Feng Suzhen got up, and said word by word: "I will continue to stay in the court, and I will do my best to help you become a generation of Mingjun."

The prince stood up from the chair with a jerk, and half of the mansions he had seen fell over, knocking the half-cold teacup beside the table to the ground, and there was a shattering sound of "bang, bang, bang".While frantically helping the mansion up, the prince nodded his fingers: "Feng Suzhen, you, you are so arrogant..."

Feng Suzhen strode forward, helped him to pick up the mansion scattered on the ground from the tea, and said: "Your Highness, I know that I am not an extraordinary talent. But do I have the talent of the number one scholar, do I have the ability to do ordinary things?" , you have seen it with your own eyes. If Your Highness recognizes my talent, please consider what I said!"

The prince moved the mansion to the other side, and argued: "Yes, you are smart and talented. But, but you are a woman. There has never been a precedent for a woman to be an official in my dynasty."

Feng Suzhen was neither humble nor overbearing: "The so-called precedents are for people to break. How many precedents do you have for you, the prince, to be obsessed with craftsmanship? What's wrong with continuing to be an official as this woman?"

The prince shook the water off his hands, and said angrily, "You were disguised as a man before, but now your identity has been leaked, and it is impossible to pretend anymore."

"Anyway, it has been leaked, and this matter is the laughingstock of the royal family no matter what, why doesn't Your Highness use my little ability to the extreme?" Feng Suzhen took two steps back, "You know, it's better to be quiet than to be blocked, and to be still is better to move. If the royal family kills me or ousts me, the world will only lose one Feng Suzhen. But if His Highness keeps me, there will be a lone minister who is only loyal to you by your side."

"Lonely minister?" The prince raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her in confusion.

Feng Suzhen explained: "You grew up under the emperor's hegemony since you were young, and even when you are an adult, you still have no subjects of your own, no staff of your own, and even no relatives who can be trusted. Loyalty to you comes from your recognition of orthodoxy and Changjun. And Zhang Shaomin’s loyalty to you, do you dare to believe wholeheartedly? He is just a scholar-bureaucrat who supports orthodoxy, and what you lack is cronies, is Unconditional loyalty."

The prince thought it was a little funny: "Feng Suzhen, the dragon chair made of iron, the official with flowing water, there are so many talents in the world, I don't lack you."

Feng Suzhen's eyes darkened: "Ministers know."

The prince mocked: "Then why do you convince me? Why can I trust you wholeheartedly? You are the only one in the world who can give me unconditional loyalty?"

Feng Suzhen sighed: "Because, I have something in your hands."

The prince said impatiently: "You are a woman. After tonight, half of the imperial city will know about it. What kind of excuse is it!"

"No, it's not just this one thing." Feng Suzhen paused, lifted her hem and knelt down straight, and said in the most solemn tone of her life, "My biggest handle is Princess Tianxiang."

The prince felt that he must have heard it wrong: "What did you say? Say it again!"

Feng Suzhen repeated as he wished: "My biggest handle is your sister, Princess Tianxiang. I fall in love with her, admire her, and have an indescribable love for her. I am willing to go through fire and water for her, and I am willing Doing her best for her brother."

The prince was dumbfounded: "You...you...I have to find a nanny to examine you and see what you really are!"

"No need—" Feng Suzhen said with a wry smile, "I am Feng Suzhen, a genuine woman."

"Because I am a woman, if you trust me, use me. I will have no relatives, no heirs, no support from scholar-bureaucrats and dignitaries-all I have is a little talent; all I can rely on is your trust , I will serve you wholeheartedly."

The prince was in a state of confusion and could no longer maintain his composure, so he simply said: "You madman, fool!" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he wanted to step forward to teach Feng Suzhen a lesson, but then he remembered that this person was a woman—and he was determined not to be able to beat her , so he held back and scolded: "You, you dare to covet my sister!"

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became: "It's fortunate that Tianxiang treats you so sincerely...you actually treat her—" He suddenly choked, and stammered, "Tianxiang, did you already know your identity?"

Feng Suzhen nodded silently: "The princess knew it from the beginning."

The prince vaguely knew something in his heart, and then became even more confused.

He thought deeply for a moment: "Stop kneeling, get up first."

Feng Suzhen stood up from Shan Ruliu.

The prince thought about it, and finally said carefully: "Gu didn't promise you anything, and Gu didn't agree to anything. If there is anything, I will wait for Gu to see Tianxiang before deciding."

He shouted outside: "Boss Wang, go to the royal father's bedroom and invite Princess Tianxiang over!"

Someone outside responded muffledly, and then heard the sound of footsteps moving.

There was an eerie silence in the study.

The prince reopened the manuscript on the table, he knew all the words in front of him, but he couldn't even make a sentence, which lost the meaning it should have.

The prince tossed it aside irritably, but felt that something was wrong, so he reached out to fish it back.

Feng Suzhen suddenly said, "Your Highness, you are no longer satisfied with just being a prince."

The prince was startled, and angrily reprimanded: "Feng Suzhen, what are you talking about?"

Feng Suzhen was not surprised or afraid: "During the few days when the emperor was in a coma, Mr. Zhang left Beijing to suppress the bandits, secretly transferred the Beijing camp to enter the palace, and Manager Wang gave you a saddle, so that the person the emperor could send was actually the one who was in charge of the lamp. Gu Quan of Tan. And now, you, who have always been concentrating on carpentry and firearms, have taken the initiative to manage the government—do you also feel that the time has come for a change of dynasty?"

The prince sat down again, reached out to reach for the teacup, but found nothing, so he had to close his eyes to gather himself.

Even with his eyes closed, he could feel Feng Suzhen's gaze staring at him.

The prince unconsciously lowered his head and touched the bamboo tube at his waist, but saw the unburnt ashes on the ground again.

He slowly raised his head and looked straight at Feng Suzhen: "Feng Suzhen, you are indeed a smart person... If my sister hadn't been attacked, I wouldn't have taken this step."

Feng Suzhen's complexion changed, and her heart brightened up.

The crown prince continued: "Feng Suzhen, Zhang Shaomin did a good job of investigating the assassination in the princess' mansion on the night of the winter solstice. Although those assassins lost their lives, they left some clues because of their haste. Handwriting." He paused for a moment, looking at Feng Suzhen's soft cheeks, "Perhaps today, this matter should be revisited, but, do you understand the chill I felt when I found out about it?"

He burst out laughing in horror: "Tianxiang, my own sister, his own daughter. He was so angry because of a Yuxian, and sent a murderer to kill him, almost killing Tianxiang! I am not a smart prince, but he is A confused emperor! An incompetent father!"

Feng Suzhen understood the prince's feelings very well, she had no words to persuade, so she had to remain silent.

The prince's normally terrified face showed a rare indifference and hatred: "It's not surprising that he did such a thing. I was wronged in the past, and he kicked me out of the palace. I have made meritorious service. He didn't reward me, he just guarded against me. Dongfang Sheng chased and killed me, he didn't care about me, he only thought that this pawn could still be used, he taught me to squeeze out the value of people - in his eyes, I also Just a pawn."

Feng Suzhen couldn't help but sighed: "Control without death, control without chaos. Your Majesty has been fascinated by the emperor's mind."

The prince jumped up and roared: "What kind of emperor's mind, what kind of balance, he was so complacent by these things, he forgot, forgot that he himself is a human being and a father!"

After roaring, the prince was short of breath, and his voice lowered again: "Yes, I have an elm head, and I am not smart. My wooden bird has no heart and liver, and cannot fly. But I have a heart, and I have anger."

The prince sneered and said: "You are right, it was my big companion who helped me hide the soldiers of the Beijing camp in the palace. And Zhang Shaomin did leave the capital to suppress the bandits, and at the same time, he also went to be a lobbyist for me. He walked through all the states and guards. Once this happens, everyone in the world will know that I, a prince in name only, can already be in power—and he is just an old fool who asked for immortality but was tricked by demons and became a laughingstock!"

Before the words were finished, there was a loud commotion outside the door, and a voice close at hand shouted: "Your Majesty—Your Majesty, what's wrong with you!"

There was also a familiar female voice - "Father, father! Come, tell the imperial physician!"

The author has something to say:

A friend of mine said it right before:

This volume is called Continued Love: In addition to the unfinished love of Osmanthus honey in the previous life, there is also a continuation of the love between father and son, father and daughter, brother and sister, and brother.
