In the imperial study room, after Lu Huaining finished speaking, there was a silence.

Lu Huaining bowed his head even lower, knowing that his report would definitely arouse the emperor's fury.

The emperor's face instantly became extremely cold, and his eyes were even redder with anger.

Although he had long suspected that it might be the queen, he was still very angry at this moment. It turned out that the queen's intention to eradicate dissidents was behind the incident!

The surrounding atmosphere became more oppressive with the gloomy breath released by the emperor!

Lu Huaining still didn't raise his head, but methodically reported to the emperor all the news that Jin Yiwei had found during this period of time.

Although the news of "Cheng Ren's acquaintance" has been spread up and down in the capital, but it was first spread among the mansions in the capital, so Lu Huaining ordered Jin Yiwei under his command to investigate the mansions of those honorable courtiers. Soon, they confirmed that the source of the rumor was Mrs. Uncle of Anlebo Mansion.

After a pause, Lu Huaining continued: "The Mrs. Wu of Anlebo's Mansion is the Empress's cousin, and the 'Acquaintance of Cheng Ren' was exactly on September 27. After Wu entered the palace to meet the Empress, the next Taking advantage of the opportunity of celebrating the birthday of Mrs. Tai in Li Guogong's mansion, I told a few close wives as gossip, and then it slowly spread among the various mansions..."

The emperor listened to Lu Huaining's reply without saying a word, and his face became gloomy again. Gradually, besides anger, there was more disappointment in his heart.

September 27, wasn't it the third day after I woke up.

At that time, the empress was serving the sick in front of her bed with a look of hospitality, but she didn't want to be the most poisonous to the woman's heart. She actually planned such a vicious plan in her heart!

Moreover, the queen chose to implement her plan at this delicate time, maybe she didn't expect to wake up before, right? !

If he had been in a coma, then Xiao Wu, who was supervising the country at that time, would be the undisputed heir to the throne.

But she woke up, and gradually recovered... In order to make Xiao San miss the throne, the empress did such tricks, trying to make herself tired of Xiao San.

As Xiaosan's aunt, it is unkind for the queen to frame the prince in this way;

As the majestic mother of a country, it is really immoral for the queen to spread such rumors and disregard the royal dignity!

Such an unkind and vicious person is really unbearable to be the mother of the country!

Thinking about it, the emperor's expression became a bit distorted due to the extreme anger, which became even more frightening.

There is no doubt that the purpose of the Queen doing all this is for Xiao Wu, to help Xiao Wu clear the obstacles, and to help Xiao Wu sit on the dragon chair!

Little five, little five!

The emperor shook his head and sighed, extremely disappointed.

Xiao Wu usually looks gentle and courteous, with good manners, but now because of this monstrous power, he dared to abuse his brother like this when his father was still alive, so when he left, would Xiao Wu want to Killed brothers and killed brothers?

So are the other princes of his own still alive? !

Thinking of this, the emperor only felt a cloud of cold air rising from the soles of his feet, and his whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

The empress is virtuous, and the little one is respectful and humble. They never thought that for the sake of rights and interests, they would become what they are today, so ambitious, so unscrupulous, and so insatiable...

The emperor took a deep breath, barely suppressing the anger in his heart, his eyes were as cold as a millennium cold pool.

It was because I had been sick for too long that I raised the ambitions of the Queen and Xiao Wu, making their mother and son blinded by greed...

The emperor clenched his fists, and a firm light flashed in his slightly cloudy eyes, as if he had made some kind of determination.

"Go down." The emperor waved his hand wearily, telling Lu Huaining to back down.

Lu Huaining secretly heaved a sigh of relief, cupped his fists respectfully and retreated.

In the imperial study room, only the emperor and Eunuch Liu were left, and there was silence for a while.

It was just a cup of tea before and after, and the emperor's expression became much older, his pupils were no longer sharp, and there was a deep tiredness between his brows, and even the figure sitting on the dragon chair looked hunched and thinner a lot. Eunuch Liu, who was watching from the side, sighed secretly.

Eunuch Liu waited by the emperor's side every day. Since the emperor woke up from another stroke, both his spirit and his body were not as good as before. A word came to Eunuch Liu's heart——

The emperor is old.

These four words made him tremble with fear, and he hung his head in silence.

In the imperial study room, there was a dead silence, until the emperor said: "Serve with pen and ink!"

On that day, there was a resurgence of turmoil in the court, and the emperor issued a decree like the wind, granting the fifth prince Han Lingfan a book of treasures, making him the county king, titled "Jing", and bestowing a county palace...

This imperial decree was like a thunderstorm on the flat ground, which shocked the whole court into an uproar.

The fifth prince, Han Lingfan, is the son of the middle palace. Even though there have been many turmoil over the years and the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, most of the courtiers still believe that the fifth prince should be the future heir. The only thing left is the final edict to the world. To put it bluntly, if the emperor died suddenly without leaving a will, the fifth prince would be the new king of course, but now the emperor changed his course at the last moment and ordered the five princes to be sealed. In order to respect the king of the county, the prince also gave him the mansion of the king of the county. It is clear that the fifth prince will leave the palace and move to the mansion of the king of the county soon...

It seems that the fifth prince has been completely hated by the emperor, and, the Sacred Heart has been decided, the fifth prince is doomed to miss the crown prince!

The situation in the court has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few hours. Those courtiers who are familiar with each other gathered together to speculate secretly. The prince was suddenly crowned King of Jingjun by the emperor again. The sixth prince was too young. Could it be that the emperor's sacred heart already favored King Gongjun Han Lingfu? !

All the governments are speculating about the holy will in amazement. At the same time, of course, the queen in Fengluan Palace also heard the news. She was shocked, angry, disappointed... all kinds of emotions were entangled, and her mind was so confused that she could hardly move. Thinking, the body trembled like a residual leaf in the autumn wind.

The imperial edict of the emperor came down suddenly, and the queen didn't know it beforehand, so she was caught off guard.The emperor is acting like this now, isn't he trying to tell everyone in the world that Xiao Wu is not his heir!

Thinking about it, the queen's heart suddenly plummeted, as if being poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water, cooling her heart completely.

The empress family is powerful and easy to attract the emperor's fear, so for many years, the Enguo government has been careful not to be the first bird; she is in the phoenix seat, which seems to be glorious, but the harem is full of dangers, she is single and weak , it took so many years to finally protect her little Wu to grow up safely...

Xiao Wu is the son of the legitimate son, he has been gentle and generous since he was a child, he acts cautiously, and has never been at fault... Why would the emperor treat her Xiao Wu like this? !One of his decrees negated Xiao Wu's hard work for so many years!

In an instant, many things flashed through the Queen's mind——

Xiaowu has had fetal poison in her body since she was a child;

Xiao Wu fell from the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven and fell into a coma;

After waking up, Xiao Wu suffered from headaches and Wuhe ointment;

Xiao Wu's two companions were withdrawn by the emperor;

Xiao Wu was framed for being ill with the emperor...

Thinking of the catastrophes that have happened to Xiao Wu over the years, the queen felt like a knife was twisting her heart. She knew best how difficult it was for her Xiao Wu to come to this point...

The more the queen thought about it, the more desolate she became, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and she suddenly got up angrily.

"The Queen Mother..."

Nanny Li yelled at the back, but the queen couldn't listen anymore. There was only one thought in her mind, she wanted to see the emperor!

The queen walked forward with a single mind, and rushed straight to the emperor's bedroom.

When the eyes of the empress met in mid-air, sparks shot out, even Eunuch Liu thought it was bad, the empress had never looked like this before!

Afterwards, the little servants were all reprimanded by the empress and stayed outside the palace, only to hear more and more passionate reprimands from the palace, the emperor's and the empress's, intertwined, just like the waves of anger The waves came surging, and the back waves beat the front waves, and every stroke was like thunder.

The battle between dragon and phoenix is ​​enough to shake the world!

Half an hour later, Imperial Physician Zhang came in a hurry at the emperor's call. The queen was deprived of the Phoenix Seal, and then returned to Fengluan Palace under the "escort" of several servants and nuns. After that, the gate of Fengluan Palace was closed. The lock declared that the queen was "ill".

The news spread throughout the palace as if it had grown wings. Han Lingfan heard the news and rushed to the emperor's bedroom anxiously to intercede for the queen, but was stopped by a servant outside the palace.

"Five... respect the king, you should go back." The little servant said helplessly, "The emperor said he didn't want to see you."

Han Lingfan's lips moved, he lifted his robe, and knelt down with a "plop", his thin figure seemed particularly thin in the cold winter wind.

His lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, he knew that the Queen Mother must have offended the Emperor Father because of him...

Han Lingfan Junyi's gentle face was half down, his eyes were dark and difficult.

He knelt under the eaves motionless, the emperor never saw him, and he just knelt like this, one stick of incense, one hour, two hours...unknowingly, his knees were cold and painful from the beginning By now, he was already numb to the point of feeling nothing, but he still knelt there resolutely.

At some point, the sky was covered with continuous dark clouds, gloomy, fluffy snowflakes floated in the gray sky, and the snowflakes fell on Han Lingfan's cheeks and eyelids, and immediately melted into water droplets , like bright and transparent teardrops...

I don't know how long it took, but there was a burst of unhurried footsteps coming from behind, getting closer and clearer... But Han Lingfan didn't move, and didn't look back, and soon saw the man standing outside the hall. The little servant hurried up to greet him, saluted and said, "I have seen Prince Gong."

Followed by Han Lingfu's warm voice, he signaled to the little servant to excuse him, and the little servant asked Han Lingfu to wait here, and he hurried into the hall to deliver the message.

Only the brothers Han Lingfu and Han Lingfan remained under the eaves.

The latter knelt humbly on the cold white marble floor, while the former looked down on the latter from above.

The two brothers had the same aspirations and did not speak.

Although the two of them have never glared at each other like street thugs and argued with each other, they know each other well through the disagreements time and time again——

Different road non-phase plan.

After a while, the little servant who went to inform came back, and said to Han Lingfu with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites you in."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Han Lingfu said with a smile. While speaking, he glanced lightly at Han Lingfan, with contempt in his eyes and arrogance that the overall situation has been decided...

Han Lingfu strode towards the hall, leaving only a slender figure behind.

Han Lingfan didn't look at Han Lingfu's back, he kept his head down, his shoulders trembling slightly...

The fine snow falling in the sky gradually turned into heavy snow, and a thin layer of snowflakes accumulated on the top of his hair, eyebrows, and shoulders one after another. old old man.

Even so, Han Lingfan was still kneeling there.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the ministers summoned by the emperor rushed over one after another. They all inevitably saw Han Lingfan kneeling in front of the hall, and even more inevitably walked past him.

These ministers all looked straight at each other, but for Han Lingfan at this moment, he could already keenly feel the pity or mocking eyes of these ministers.

But what can I do? !

Han Lingfan's fists were tightly clenched, as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible big palm.

He is the concubine of Zhonggong, but he has fallen to this point... He feels as if his body has been hollowed out, powerless, helpless, and even more at a loss, not knowing what to do next...

The sky is still a heavy haze, the snow is getting denser and thicker, and the auspicious snow is a sign of a good year, the capital and even the whole north are cheering for this heavy snow, only the atmosphere in the palace is cold and solemn.

The emperor summoned a number of humerus important ministers in one day and had a secret conversation for a long time. He didn't know whether it was due to overwork or mental exhaustion. The next day the emperor was ill again. Han Lingfu.

There was another ripple in the court hall, but most of the courtiers had vaguely guessed the result after yesterday's edict, and at this moment they only felt that the dust had settled.

There will be no more mistakes, King Gong is the heart of the Sacred Heart, and he is the future prince!

After several years of ups and downs and twists and turns, Dayu's reserve position seems to have suddenly decided the winner overnight.

All of a sudden, the honorable courtiers have different thoughts, some are surprised or happy or fearful or worried. There is a saying that "once the emperor, one courtier". Yep, Gong Jun's royal party was at the height of the sun all of a sudden, and everyone was in high spirits. They only felt that they were really wise and farsighted, and that they had chosen a bright leader early on.

In today's court, and even in the entire royal capital, the most high-spirited person is naturally blessed by the star-studded Han Ling.

After dealing with the trivial government affairs, he hurried out of the palace and returned to the mansion. His horse's hooves stepped over the flying dust and galloped recklessly between the streets of the royal capital. Everything will be trampled under his feet...

He went all the way back to Prince Gong's Mansion, and the main gate of the Prince's Mansion was immediately opened wide to welcome the King back home.

With Han Lingfu's rise to power, the atmosphere of the county prince's mansion also had the feeling of a chicken and a dog ascending to heaven.

Han Lingfu got off his horse neatly, intending to reward He Fu, but the moment he landed, his expression suddenly changed subtly, his breathing became short of breath, and his chest heaved even more violently...

Others still couldn't see his subtle changes, but Xiao Lizi, who knew Han Ling Furu, immediately knew what was going on, and his complexion changed slightly.

Han Lingfu returned to the outer study almost eagerly, locked himself in it for nearly an hour, and then came out again, regaining his original energetic appearance, with a pair of black eyes so bright that Xiao Lizi hardly dared to look directly at him.

Han Lingfu headed towards the inner courtyard with strides, even if he didn't ask, Xiao Lizi could guess that the master was going to the Xinghui courtyard.

Han Lingfu walked faster and faster, walked straight into Bai Muxiao's small study, and immediately asked, "When will Bai Yi come back?"

Bai Muxiao was standing alone behind the desk in front of the window, writing a book. She was wearing a blue dress with a few orchids embroidered on the skirt, and her long black hair was pulled into a loose bun. Zhuan'er didn't wear any accessories, and she was quite casual in her beauty.

She was so focused, as if she didn't know that Han Lingfu was coming, she didn't put down the Langhao pen in her hand until she finished the last stroke, and put it on the sapphire pen holder beside her.

Satisfied with the little poem mentioned in the lower left corner of the drawing paper, Bai Muxiao just looked away and looked at Han Lingfu who couldn't hide his impatience, with a flash of contempt in his eyes, with a superior attitude Instead of answering, ask: "My lord, how is the matter of 'Cheng Ren's friendship' going?"

Without waiting for Han Lingfu to answer, she continued: "If this matter is not resolved, it will be a stain on you, my lord. How can you inherit the throne when Bai Yu is free?!...Don't forget that your father is the most famous !"

Bai Muxiao seemed calm and indifferent, but a layer of haze appeared in his eyes.

Ever since the incident of "Cheng Ren's acquaintance" broke out, every time she went out, she became someone else's talking point, which is really hateful!

Although the child's life experience is not glorious, so what? !

Regardless of the origin of the hero, in the thousands of years of history in the Central Plains, there are countless heroes who were born in a humble state but eventually managed to win the world. As long as this child can finally become a great treasure, who would dare to crawl under her skirt humbly!

In this world, no matter what method is used, as long as one can go to the highest point, one can have the last laugh. History books are in the hands of the victors, let them write!

Han Lingfu sat down casually, his eyes were still a little frighteningly bright, his mind was still immersed in the aftertaste brought by Wuhe ointment, he was excited, but he was a little careless.

He said slowly: "This king will not let anyone who opposes me. Just rest assured!"

Bai Muxiao raised her brows, instantly understood, and asked eagerly, "It's over?"

Han Lingfu pursed his lips and smiled without saying a word, his expression was leisurely and comfortable, revealing the arrogance that everything was in my hands.

Bai Muxiao's mind was set, she curled her lips into a smile, full of confidence.

Sure enough, my plan will never be wrong!One step closer to victory...

So immersed in joy, she didn't notice that Han Lingfu stood up at some point, and looked at Bai Muxiao with more and more cold eyes.

Suddenly, like a leopard staring at its prey, he strode towards Bai Muxiao who was caught off guard, and then grabbed her neck fiercely, with ruthlessness in his bloodshot eyes, he sneered and said: "Bitch!" Man, do you think you can really do whatever you want?!"

"Hum..." The instinct to survive made Bai Muxiao stretch out her hands and grab her neck, trying to break Han Lingfu's hand.

But she is a woman and has never practiced martial arts. How can she cope with a man like Han Lingfu who has studied martial arts for many years? Soon, her face began to turn pale, her breathing became difficult, and those unbelievable eyes seemed to say, why? ?

Aren't you afraid of confirming the rumors of "the acquaintance of Cheng and Ren"?

Aren't you afraid that the emperor will suspect that Brother Jun's blood is flawed?

Are you not afraid of being judged all your life? !

"Of course I'm not afraid!" Han Lingfu looked at Bai Muxiao with disdainful eyes, watching her struggle like a bug, and said in a voice as cold as frost, "You are useless already!"

Meeting Bai Muxiao's unwilling and puzzled eyes, Han Lingfu decided to make her understand, and continued with a sneer: "Father already knows that the matter of 'Cheng Ren's acquaintance' was done by the empress. It's of no use anymore!"

If Bai Muxiao died before the "friendship between Cheng and Ren" was clarified, then the rumors would be confirmed. Now that the emperor father has "found out" the "truth", at this time Bai Muxiao died, he He could use the excuse that Bai Muxiao committed suicide because he couldn't bear the humiliation, and then as long as he went to his father's place and cried out his grief, he could take advantage of the fact that the emperor still felt guilty about him, and clean up all the queen's people in one go.

The situation is different now, Bai Muxiao's death is worth more than life!

How could this be? !Bai Muxiao's eyes were wide open, she never expected to clear up the rumor, and instead drive her to a dead end...
