Hearing such heartbreaking words, others naturally wished that they were not here.

Liu Jing lowered his head slightly, neither looking at the prisoners in the hall, nor daring to turn his head to look at the expression of the emperor's uncle, and read again the dossier in his hand that he had studied word by word.

After a while, Prince Yu spoke slowly in the dead silence, but only said: "Don't worry about it."

Liu Jue is different from Liu Xuan who has always been in the fiefdom. As an elder, he was once Zongzheng. He almost grew up watching the emperor and Prince Yu for so many years.

He not only witnessed Emperor Jing's painstaking "one couple for life", but also experienced the fear and repression of Emperor Li's period. After staying here with Liu Xin, he was finally able to make a difference.

Once upon a time, he understood the value of patience and waiting, and he could stand on the sidelines like Liu Yu, but when he got old, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't wait anymore.

If once His Majesty chooses the crown prince, but he is not the heir of Prince Jue's Mansion, then the day Liu Xuan returns to Beijing is the day when Prince Jue's Mansion leaves Tianjing.

Liu Jue has lived in Beijing for more than 60 years, and his flesh and blood have been integrated here. He does not want to leave Tianjing for a moment, and he also wants to let his blood stay here for generations.

Therefore, when another opportunity was handed to him, Liu Jue knew that it was impossible not to reach out.

It was a very realistic thing to win the king and lose the bandit, but he didn't expect that he would lose in this way, and, besides, he would lose together with his opponent...

Thinking about it now, maybe his opponent was never Liu Xuan, but the emperor who sat on the throne, looked cowardly but could look down on the world.

——The conservative emperor and the cruel emperor have passed away for many years. His Majesty, who has no obvious background and no power, has now eradicated the Xu family who once supported him and controlled him. The Xu family, who used to be powerful in the government and the public, is just like them this time Doomed...

Liu Jue raised his head and took a closer look at Prince Yu who looked calm and seemed not to be affected by his words at all. He suddenly thought: Liu Yu is the only one who hasn't changed in all these years?

He is still the indifferent and speechless person back then, and he is still the king regent who owns the three counties of Liyang and the Liyang army... If the emperor dies first and is succeeded by the eldest son, then he will become the real king regent. Be ruthless, maybe even go a step further!

Liu Jue suddenly wanted to ask, did Liu Yu never have the desire to possess the throne that was so close at hand?

What's the point of a prince like Liu Yu who has no wives, concubines or heirs, guards a fertile fief, has no way to enjoy himself, and has no one to follow him?

But Liu Jue didn't know that the Prince Yu in front of him was actually not the same—at least the current Prince Yu and the Prince Yu three years ago had undergone radical changes inside.

Although the emperor recalled them back to Beijing and let them try the treason case without saying anything, Liu Yu knew what happened earlier than Liu Jing.

In addition, seeing the dossier in his hand, many details have been added, so Liu Yu has basically figured out how this shocking case planned by the emperor himself and many people participated in it happened.

Earlier, because of Liu Xin's estrangement, Liu Can, the eldest son of Prince Jue, and his brother Liu Feng, who was named the county king, were at odds with each other, and they could not agree with each other ever since.The Xu family, under the guise of marrying their daughter Xijing, has secretly chosen Liu Feng.

Judging from the description in the dossier, the Xu family and Prince Feng wanted to rebel and force the palace at the beginning of the new year when everyone lacked precautions, and to take control of Tianjing when Prince Yu was not in the capital. In the end, the insider informed His Majesty, and the trick was exposed .

The emperor hurriedly asked Liu Zhi to send a letter to his father, the king of Xunjun, saying that the Xu family had colluded with Liu Feng and plotted against him, and ordered him to quickly enter the king of Jingqin.

Who knew that the king of Yangjun knew that the Xu family had abandoned him and chose Liu Feng, and at the same time he was resentful and malicious, thinking that even if he saved His Majesty after all the hard work, he might not be able to get the throne immediately, so he might as well just do nothing and keep going , simply took advantage of the great opportunity of King Jingqin, and broke into the palace in one fell swoop, so that His Majesty was "injured by the rebels", but replaced him himself.

Liu Yu guessed that after Liu Xin told the King of the county about the collusion between the Xu family and Liu Feng, he also found a way to disclose to the Xu family about Liu Xuan's gathering of troops in the western suburbs of Tianjing.

This time, the Xu family and Liu Feng did not choose to be the first to take the lead, probably because they didn't know that the emperor had fully known their whereabouts, so they didn't know that Liu Xuan was heading eastward under the name of "Jingjingqin King".

They also thought that the other party was waiting for an opportunity just like their own side.

They may also have the idea of ​​waiting for Liu Xuan to rebel, and want to wait until he "murders" His Majesty before attacking the palace and attacking the "rebels".

Prince Yu, who was feared by everyone, left Tianjing and returned to his fiefdom on the second night of the Lunar New Year. For everyone, when is there a better time to act?

So when Liu Yu accompanied Little Doctor Jian to Lintu to rescue Shuo County King, the battle between Beijing and China was imminent.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu already felt extremely "admired" for Liu Xin—even if there was a slight mistake in one part of the process, Liu Xin would be caught between two sides, and he would definitely die...but he was ruthless enough to use himself as bait , and finally succeeded in catching all the fierce sharks that took the bait, and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

Prince Jue's words just now were obviously provocative, but they did give Liu Yu a warning.

The high walls that used to stand in front of Liu Xin have been pushed down one by one by him, so now the emperor of Jizhou really only has this obstacle left in his heart, as long as it is resolved, he can really do whatever he wants.

It's a pity that the same method is definitely useless when used on Prince Yu.

As the saying goes, one can be strong without desire, although Prince Yu also has his own desire in his heart, but none of the things Liu Xin can use to seduce others can seduce Liu Yu.

As long as Xiaonian stays safely in Suijin, even if Liu Xin attacks Liyang with all his sixteen guards, there is nothing Liu Yu can do.

King Kuijun in the north and Shuojun Wang in the east were both rescued by the Jian brothers, so they will more or less face Liyang.

Of course, even if we don't talk about these personal affairs, there is only Huai'an guarded by the royal family, and Linchun who blocks Tutai wasteland, so they can't send troops at will.

Therefore, if Liu Xin wanted to attack Liyang, he could only use the Sixteen Guards of Tianjing and the newly recruited Shuoyuan Army.

During the trial of the treason case in Beijing, Liu Yu was also silently thinking about the future of Liyang.

——Although the road ahead will not be easy, as long as you are accompanied by the one you love, you will never be alone, and you will be able to move forward bravely!

……

At the same time, in Empress Dowager Xu's Ci'an Palace, some people were thinking about their future.

But at this moment, a palace official stepped forward and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager just woke up."

The beauty whose thoughts were interrupted was not angry, she softly ordered the palace servant: "Bring the warm medicine from the small dining room, since the Queen Mother is awake, it's time to take medicine."

"Yes, empress." Hearing this, the palace servant immediately withdrew, and went to bring the medicine according to her arrangement.

Looking at the medicine cup on the tea tray in the hands of the palace servants, the beauty slowly got up and brought a few palace servants inside, without any communication, she went straight to the bed.

She looked at the person lying on the couch with her beautiful eyes, and said in a tone of indescribable tenderness, "How does the Empress Dowager feel today?"

However, the person on the bed closed his eyes tightly, ignoring her intentions, as if he was still asleep.

Concubine Ru glanced at the calm-looking female officer standing by the couch, covered her face and smiled: "The queen mother is ill, I'm afraid I don't have the strength, please trouble sister Yang to help the queen mother up... Your majesty said that the matter of drinking medicine, There can be no delay."

The female officer of Empress Dowager Xu moved slightly when she heard the words, but she didn't follow Ru Pin's wishes and went to help her master up.

Concubine Ru was not angry when she saw this, she lightly touched the Gong tassels on the bed curtain, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Sister Wu is gone, and only Sister Yang is by the Queen Mother's side, it seems... there are still not enough people. ah."

Hearing Concubine Ru mention the powerful person next to the queen mother, and the tragic scene of her death appeared in her mind, the female officer finally showed fear in her eyes.

However, Xu Xueru no longer gave her a chance to speak or act, and directly asked her own people to step forward and push her away, to help the queen mother get up.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Xu suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were closed tightly, and the sharp eyes carried a majesty and hatred that could not be ignored, scaring the palace maid who was about to reach out her hand and retreated away.

Concubine Ru, however, seemed not to see her gaze, she went forward to salute the Queen Mother, and then signaled the palace servants to go forward to help her.

Although Empress Dowager Xu was weak, she still had some strength to scold others: "The daughter of a lowly maidservant, with a lowly body, you dare to be presumptuous in front of Ai's family!"

Xu Xueru is a concubine, when her first sister was still a noble concubine, not to mention entering the palace, even if Xu Guifei returned to the mansion, unless the elder sister summoned her, she didn't have the right to come forward to say hello.

After entering the palace, she was disliked by Empress Dowager Xu because of her birth, and because she once gave birth to her own little thoughts, she was discovered by Empress Dowager Xu and was reprimanded and humiliated.

At that time, Empress Dowager Xu controlled the harem and asked her to fight the favored concubine Jiang, which put Xu Xueru in danger several times.

Now one of them is still the queen mother and the other is still a concubine, but the situation is quite different.

Concubine Ru retorted: "The Empress Dowager was joking. The Xu family sent their concubines into the palace to serve His Majesty. The concubines are the ninth concubines personally appointed by His Majesty. How can you say that they are humble? What's more, the concubine's father is still the son of Duke Qing. How can she be the daughter of a lowly maidservant if she is the future Duke?"

She seemed to think of something, with a bit of regret on her face: "Oh, look at this concubine's memory... Qing Guogong colluded with the anti-king Liu Feng to plot rebellion. The evidence is conclusive. I believe that a verdict will be made in a few days, when Duke Qing will be executed, Duke Qing's mansion will cease to exist, and the background of the concubine, tsk tsk... is really hard to describe."

"you……"

Before Empress Dowager Xu could utter her bitter words, Xu Xueru interrupted her: "But don't worry, Empress Dowager, your concubines are loved by His Majesty. Your Majesty has said that even if the Xu family is full of crimes, it's not a matter of the palace. Your Majesty will serve the Empress Dowager." , will also treat my concubines kindly."

Xu Xueru looked at the old woman who was once graceful and luxurious, but now she can only lie in bed, and she felt happy. She turned to look at the palace servants around her, and her tone suddenly became severe: "Hurry up and help the queen mother to drink the medicine. Do you want to neglect the Queen Mother and wait for His Majesty to commit a crime?"

"Yes, empress!" Two tall palace men rushed forward, one supported the queen mother, and the other poured the soup and medicine for her.

Afterwards, everyone quickly replaced the messy beds, and then quickly exited the inner hall with Lady Yang who was already limp on the ground, leaving Xu Xueru alone.

Looking at the Queen Mother Xu who had been tossed and pissed off, Xu Xueru returned to her usual low-browed manner: "The concubines are members of the Xu family, and they will serve the Queen Mother well after drinking the medicine. Rest... tonight, I will come to see you again."

—if you were still alive then.

……

Xiaonian returned to Liyang more than ten days later, and he was not at all relaxed when he learned that Liu Yu was trying the treason case in Beijing.

Originally, it was said that he would be able to see his brother in half a month, but it took more than a month to see him. The little tiger cub leaned on Xiaonian when he saw Xiaonian.

Except that he has to return to his human form when studying, he is like a little tiger cub growing out of Xiaonian at other times.

When eating, I have to sit in my brother's arms, anyway, the "big guy" is not at home.

When sleeping, I have to sleep next to my brother, since the "big guy" is not at home anyway.

When playing, you have to be with your brother, anyway, the "big guy" is not at home.

Seeing the little tiger cub bitten by a rabbit doll on his lap, Xiaonian said helplessly, "Honey, my brother's leg is almost unconscious due to your pressure..."
