humble minister

Lian Ying sat on the banquet, ate something to fill his stomach, and looked around at the audience by watching the dance.

It wasn't until he saw that the third and fourth princes were also sitting comfortably on the table that he couldn't help being a little surprised. He didn't expect that the third and fourth princes could still sit here as if nothing had happened at this time.Seeing that although they were not very interested, Lian Ying vaguely felt that the two of them might have given up on assassinating the prince, but it was unknown what would happen after the prince succeeded to the throne.

Perhaps, the current emperor will make some plans, after all, he does not love the prince in general.

Turning his head again, he saw Shi Yu who had always been indifferent. Lian Ying remembered the anxiety he felt from Shi Yu before they separated. For some reason, Shi Yu was just drinking normally, but Lian Ying always gave Lian Ying a kind of other Feeling drunk and seeming to be in a bad mood.

He found that Shi Yu seemed to be looking in one direction all the time, so he couldn't help but follow his line of sight, but he didn't expect to see the prince and sister sitting at the front seat.For some reason, his heart skipped a beat, as if some bad guess had passed away in an instant, he shook his head, but he didn't want to delve into it.

In front of the eyes, there were staggered toasts, singing and dancing, and the melodious music filled the entire Xingqing Hall, as if it was everywhere.Just when Lian Ying thought that this big wedding banquet would indeed go on so smoothly until the end, he didn't want to have a sudden change.

The singing and dancing that was going on suddenly stopped, and the dancing girl in the middle tapped her toes and stabbed at the eminent emperor with a dagger conjured from nowhere!

For a moment, the scene was chaotic, with the screams of the maids, the eunuchs shouting "escort" and the guards swarming up to "weapon handover".Lian Ying even saw that many maids and eunuchs who had been serving the banquet also launched attacks on the people around them, which seemed to be premeditated!I just don't know who set it up.

In a daze, Lian Ying only felt a white glow flashing across his eyes, and then he was pushed by someone, narrowly avoiding the stabbing blade, only to find that it was Shi Xiang when he came back to his senses.

"Don't be dazed, come behind me and protect yourself!" Shi Xiang said and protected Lian Ying behind him, and the guards on the side also surrounded them to protect them.

Swords and swords, screams and cries filled the ears, and anxiety permeated.Subconsciously, Lian Ying looked at Shi Yu's position, but saw that there was no one there!

hum.

Lian Ying only felt her heart beating violently, and an unknown emotion spread, but Lian Ying knew that there was uneasiness, worry, and fear...all because of that one person.

He pushed away Shi Xiang who was protecting him, and rushed out amidst Shi Xiang's roar.He thought he had always been calm and calm, but at this moment he didn't know where the courage came from, or where the impulse came from. He only knew that if he couldn't see that person was safe...if he couldn't...what would happen?

But why, why when he pushed aside the crowd, dodged the attack, and saw that he was safe and sound, and saw him completely protecting his sister in his arms, he felt sore and astringent in his heart Yes, it was as if a bowl of bitter juice was spilled in my heart, as if there was an urge to cry.

The previous thought, that absurd thought was now like a crazily growing vine, wrapping tightly around his heart and spreading across his entire brain.

Could it be... Shi Yu, do you really like your sister?

That's why you were so expressionless at the engagement banquet; that's why you met you drunk alone in the back mountain; that's why you were so restless before your sister's big wedding; that's why you drank alone at the wedding banquet , there is no one else in your eyes except your sister; so... so when a sharp knife stabs at your sister, even if you know it is inevitable, will you still rush to protect your sister?

Oh, look, you look at your sister with such concern, did you forget that there is your eldest brother beside you?Did you also forget... Maybe I could be hurt?

But what do I count?You have never expressed your liking, so everything is just my own speculation, so I have always loved you...I like you...

It turned out that I was... stupid.

All the hustle and bustle around seemed to be far away, even Ying didn't know how he walked back, maybe he was expressionless at this time, otherwise why Shi Xiang and Jiang Bailang who rushed over looked at him worriedly, Ask him if it's okay.

"I am fine."

He replied lightly with a smile, yes, how can something happen, no one he cares about is okay.

The attack was soon stopped. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the emperor was very furious, especially when he found the tokens of the third prince and the fourth prince while searching the assassin's body, he was even more furious. disappointment.

"Third and fourth, what else do you have to say now?!" Sitting on the honorable seat, the current son looked at the two kneeling sons and shouted angrily.

The envoys from other countries present and the courtiers all bowed their heads. The anger of the emperor is not a joke, and this matter is of great importance. No matter what they think in their hearts, they should at least be humble and respectful on the surface.Of course, except for someone like Jane, but he could still tell the occasion clearly, and it was rare that he didn't say anything at this time, after all, this was still a state and family affair of another country.

"Royal father, this is wronged, wronged!" The third and fourth princes shouted in unison, and the third prince even kowtowed a few steps forward on his knees, "Royal father, these people were not arranged by me and my fourth brother at all. Why would the fourth brother and the fourth brother send someone to assassinate the father and the prince? Also, there are all the envoys and courtiers, this is absolutely not dared! How could we do such a thing? younger brother……"

"Shut up!" the emperor shouted, full of anger, "Now that there are all witnesses and evidence, you still want to quibble?! It's a waste of father and emperor teaching you all the time, and the prince sincerely caring for you, you two... ...Is this how these two bastards repay people who are kind to you? I am so disappointed!"

"Be good to us? Ha, father, can you say such a thing?" At this time, the fourth prince didn't know why he went crazy, and stared at the emperor fiercely and asked, "Father, who in this world doesn't know you The only one who really loves you is the prince! The only one you want to pass on the throne is the prince! When did you open your eyes and look at our sons? When did you care about us? In your eyes, we are just with you Irrelevant things born of irrelevant women!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was astonished. Although it was no secret that the emperor favored the crown prince alone, the consequences of being said so directly and so rudely by the fourth prince... were unimaginable!

Sure enough, the emperor was even more furious when he heard it, and he threw something on the fourth prince's head, bleeding instantly.

"Bastard!!! You rebellious son, you... Is this how you look at the father?! Okay, okay, Concubine Li, look, these are the two good sons you raised?! Really blind Your Excellency!"

"Your Majesty, this... this, Yu'er must have listened to slander, so he said such rebellious words. His intention was definitely not like this. These two children usually respect His Majesty and the Crown Prince very much. Don't they, Feng'er, Yu'er Son?" A gorgeous woman sitting next to the emperor hurriedly winked at the third prince and the fourth prince, the third prince hurriedly nodded in agreement, but the fourth prince lowered his head even though his face was angry.

"Yes, father, even though the third and fourth younger brothers are usually stubborn, they still know the seriousness. They will never do such rebellious things. There must be misunderstandings. Why don't you investigate carefully?" At this time, Prince Shi Yang, who had just comforted his wife, was still a good man and began to speak kindly to his two younger brothers in an attempt to dispel his father's suspicion and anger.

The emperor snorted coldly when he heard what the prince said, and fell silent for a moment.But at this time, the entire Xingqing Hall was completely silent, filled with a sense of nervousness, there was no way, this matter has become a big deal, I'm afraid it won't be good, and it also involves the foundation of the country!

Lian Ying glanced at Shi Yu, who was still standing beside Duanmu Xiwei, but Shi Yu, who behaved very normally, had mixed feelings in his heart.Looking at the situation in the arena, it is chilling again. Looking at the faces of the third and fourth princes, one can tell that this must not have been done by them. Who planned such a treasonous thing and let the executor have his own token?

Besides, what the fourth prince said just now was really misleading. If they were really the masterminds of this matter, I'm afraid they wouldn't have said such a thing at all.I'm afraid that all of this is just the emperor's self-direction and self-acting. What he has to do is to create unquestioned evidence that the third prince and the fourth prince have rebelled, and then eradicate the two brothers in one fell swoop, leaving his eldest son's general It is a clean and secure throne.So at this time, he will never listen to anyone's persuasion, and will only give the third and fourth princes a fatal blow.

But after the third prince and the fourth prince, it should be the fifth prince's turn, so Shi Yu, what will you do?

The throne will not be yours; my sister will not be yours either.At that time, will you still come to me and hope that I can help you?

In fact, what Lian Ying really thought was right, the emperor would never let the third and fourth princes go at this time.

The silence was only for a moment, and soon the emperor said in a calm voice: "The crown prince is honest, and he only spoke to these two traitors in consideration of brotherhood, but the evidence for this matter is solid, and the two of you cannot deny it. As for Concubine Li, you are also incapable of teaching your son. There is no limit to pampering!"

"Father, we..."

"Even if the two of you didn't do this, what about the hunting and assassination of the prince? Do you still want to deny that?! Don't think that if you don't tell the truth, you don't know anything. I'm just giving you a chance. You can see for yourself Look, this is your performance? I am completely disappointed!" The emperor quickly interrupted the conversation of the two, and the incident of hunting and assassination broke out.

Although few people know about this matter, those who know it turn pale when they hear this. After all, this matter is also well-documented, and Prince Xiang, the fifth prince, Young Master Jiang and Young Master Ting Yun have also testified together. Now the two princes I'm afraid I can't deny it.

Hearing the emperor's revelation, the faces of the third and fourth princes changed suddenly. In the eyes of everyone, they were just pretending to be self-inflicted. They couldn't help being very disappointed with these two princes. It seems that they are really stubborn!

"No, it's impossible, Your Majesty, they will never do this, Your Majesty!" Concubine Li grabbed the emperor's forearm with one hand and cried, looking at it made people feel distressed.

"Hmph, it's impossible? Look at the expressions of your two sons now!" The emperor flicked away Concubine Li's hand holding his forearm with a dark face, and continued: "Many courtiers have already known about this matter, besides There are also the second child, the fifth child and that child Bai Lang to testify, not to mention Mr. Ting Yun can also testify to this matter."

After finishing speaking, the emperor looked straight at Lian Ying, and all the eyes in the hall were all focused on Lian Ying for a while.

Lian Ying sneered inwardly, the emperor really made a wishful thinking, pulling himself, an outsider, not only increased the credibility of the assassination, but also created the illusion that he was supporting the prince.

Thinking about the conversation with the emperor before, I realized that this time he was really forcing him to become the prince, but he always hated others forcing himself.But hate it, hate it, at this time he can't tear himself apart with the emperor, at least he can't disobey the emperor's wishes in this matter.

"good."

Lian Ying spat out the words lightly, as if to draw a conclusion on this matter.

In the end, the wedding banquet was disturbed, and the emperor was furious even after showing the foreign envoys a joke .Concubine Li was thrown into the cold palace because she was incapable of raising her children, or suspected of treason, and all of Concubine Li's family were also demoted.

All of a sudden, the influence of the third and fourth princes disappeared.

No one knows about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty——soon, the crown prince will be enthroned as emperor.
