I sat down beside his bed and looked at him quietly, only then did I realize that there were so many wrinkles on my father's face since I don't know when. It turned out that the lying bed that was motionless was in a coma, and the years will still fade away. The mark is carved on the face of the emperor.

My father was a soldier and galloped on the battlefield. When I was young, I didn’t know how many stunning beauties were overwhelmed. When I was a child, my favorite was to hide in a corner to watch my father’s court. Can not help but smugly.

My father was very fond of me since childhood.

The first time I learned to write, the first time I learned to ride a horse, and even the first time I learned to arrow, he was my first "sir".

The elder brother Xiao Jinglan once said to me with envy: "Little sister, the father is the father of all the subjects in the world, but he gave you the most modest fatherly love from ordinary people."

Thinking back this time, it is really good luck.

Even the younger brother of the prince knew that the father was ill, but at that time, I was still immersed in the world of restoring Song Langsheng.

If it wasn't that I couldn't let go of my obsession, how could I be fed poison on the Lingshan Mountain and decided to commit suicide?

If the father, Huang Kangjian, can still preside over the affairs of the court, how can those secret schemes be easily succeeded?

There is a master in the dark, if everything is caused by me, because of qíng, then before I leave, I will cut off the qíng righteousness with my own hands and restore the original peace.

When I opened my eyes again, my heart had calmed down, just as the breeze was blowing the tent, the coolness entered my body.

After leaving my father’s bedroom, I walked to the Prince’s study, and saw several officials hurriedly leaving from a distance. After a little thought, I stepped into the study. Sure enough, the Prince was still lighting up the lamp to review the memorials.

Eunuch Cheng, who was beside him, bowed to me, "His Royal Highness."

I nodded, and Eunuch Cheng motioned for the maid who was close to him to retire. He also walked out of the room knowingly and installed the door.

The prince raised his head and saw that it was me, with a trace of sadness in his tired eyes, "Sister Huang..."

I smiled lightly, "I've seen the father and queen, and the ball is smooth and smooth, and the bottom of my heart is not so uncomfortable."

The prince opened his mouth, but stopped talking, and finally said: "I have ordered the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household to co-organize the secret vault of the previous dynasty opened by the emperor. He paused, "As for the previous books on refining magical weapons, I will study them first, and then discuss with the Ministry of War..."

"Did Nie Ran tell you where the secret place is?" I interrupted.

The prince nodded slightly.

"He still keeps his word." I lowered my head and saw a few military talismans on the prince's table. I brought them back. I think the prince has already carefully studied it, whether to keep it or destroy it. There is also a calculation, "What are you going to do with him?"

"Whether Nie Ran is sincere, or whether he is condescending, we don't know at this moment. I asked him to go back to Guozijian first, and secretly ordered Wei Qingheng to monitor him. He Fengchu's actions will be reported in time. To move Nie Ran hastily, doesn't it mean to tell the chaotic party that we are aware of it? This... is not necessarily a wise move, and it will not be too late to take Nie Ran after Nie Guang makes a slight move."

I sat down and picked up the tea, only to hear the crown prince continue: "Now the court situation is dangerous, Nie Guang's own fief has a total of 100,000 soldiers, and the spy I sent back said that he has frequently visited Lingnan over the years. Walking between the two feudal vassals in northern Shaanxi, it is clear that we must gather troops and wait for the opportunity to rebel. My father once warned me that I need to monitor Xia Yanghou's every move. The marriage of the Zhao family..."

"You stopped the marriage of the Nie Zhao family?" I was stunned. "How did you stop it?"

The prince was stopped by me, silent for a long time, and whispered: "I told Zhao Shoufu that I want to marry his daughter as a concubine."

I was startled and put down the tea cup heavily, "What did you say? Are you going to marry Zhao Yanran?"

"Isn't the reason why Zhao Gengnian cooperated with the Nie family because he was afraid that I would weaken his family's power after I ascended the throne? It is also a marriage, and it is justifiable to become the future uncle. Who do you think he will choose?"

I stood up, stared at him and said, "How can marriage be a child's play? The person Zhao Yanran likes is Nie Ran. How can you be happy if you marry someone you don't like?"

"Sister Huang, you married the person you like, and a few days of peace have passed? Everyone in the world chooses the person they like, but the royal family can't. How come you still don't understand this truth? ?"

The prince's voice was like a sharp sword, poking at my heart, I lowered my head and asked, "Zhao Shoufu, do you agree?"

"He agreed, but he delayed the delay on the grounds of his father's serious illness. He is watching the changes and seeing who has a better chance of winning." The prince said, "But after tonight, he should be able to win. Determined."

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Since Nie Guang has chosen the road of restoring the former dynasty, he must elect the former crown prince as emperor. Since this person is Song Langsheng, how could he be willing to be a puppet emperor? Even you and I can see the clues. Can't Zhao Gengnian see it?" The prince looked at me, "With the help of Zhao Shoufu and Li Guojiu, the entire cabinet is in our hands, so we have a better chance of winning, isn't it?"

I didn't say yes.

If any brother or uncle intends to seize the throne at the moment, the crown prince is indeed guaranteed to win.

But the forces of the old dynasty intended to rebel, how could it be so easy to deal with?

Marquis Xiayang only occupies a corner of the land, and he thought that even if they wanted to raise troops, they could only take an interior battle, starting with the capture of Guankou County, north of Kyoto, as a breakthrough. …

However, Nie Ran said that Wan Yi, the Admiral of Shenji Camp, and Qi Zhiyu, the Governor of Caoyun, had all recruited Song Langsheng.

Shenji Camp is one of the three major battalions of the Imperial Guard in the capital. It specializes in firearms and weapons, and undertakes the important task of "guarding the capital inside and preparing for battle outside". If the right-hand man turns the pào head and hits the imperial city directly, then the rebels will most likely take advantage of this omission to attack the imperial city.

Soldiers follow orders from generals, and generals follow orders from monarchs, who can be called emperors.

Under Nie Guang's command, there were four battle-hardened generals, Feng Li, a treacherous advisor, and Song Langsheng, who had been with me and the prince for many years.

But what about the prince? The military power in Beijing has not been fully shaken, and my life is not too long. I can't afford it, and I can't wait. How can we win this battle?

I got up and opened the window, looking at the moon in the sky, and the night wind howling.

Eunuch Wei's voice came from outside the door: "Prince, I just received a letter from the flying pigeons at the Jinmen Post."

The prince hurriedly said, "Come in."

When I turned around, the prince had already taken apart the wooden tube and read the brocade strips. He frowned slightly, looked at me hesitantly, and put the brocade strips into his sleeves. I asked, "What's wrong?"

He said, "Sister Huang, when Shen Shi, the concubine, oh no, Song Langsheng appeared at the inn."

I was shocked, he appeared?

Wasn't his disappearance for so long just to catch us off guard? Why are these joints suddenly appearing?

The prince's tone was still as cold as iron: "Sister Huang, you need to immediately order the Imperial Guard to hunt down Song Langsheng! Catch the thief first and capture the king. If Song Langsheng is caught, Nie Guang is not so easy to do!"

I was silent.

The prince said, "Sister Huang! Now is not the time to be serious!"

I glanced at him sideways, "Am I such a senseless person?"

The prince said dumbly: "Isn't it?" He turned his head and asked Eunuch Cheng, "Tie Zhong, what do you think?"

With a choked expression on his face, Eunuch Cheng coughed, looking up at the sky without answering.

I twitched the corners of my mouth to make a speechless expression, but my eyes were blurred.

The prince saw that I was not amused by him as he used to, and there was a sadness in his eyes, "Sister..."

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and said, "I just saw Eunuch Cheng by your side like this, and thought of my two shadow guards. On weekdays, they are also teased by me like this..."

"Tao Yuan has given me the Mingjian commander card. He said that this time someone infiltrated the shadow guard and caused you harm. He has no shirk and is willing to obey the order." The prince said softly, "Ji Nanyou's body will be buried well. Yes, the queen, don't be too sad."

It turns out that the prince... he knows everything.

I know that the emperor has given me the power of Mingjian Division, and I know that the deputy director of Mingjian Division has always been my shadow guard.

I raised my eyes and looked at the prince. I don't know when, my younger brother's face has long since faded from childishness, with sharp edges and corners, and his calm eyes seem to contain tenacity.

It was windy outside the house, and the leaves were rustling. I let out a long sigh and said, "If I send troops to hunt down Song Langsheng now, what is the name of the teacher? He is a fair and strict Dali temple minister. Not to mention that the prince's deployment of troops over the cabinet will make Zhao pavilion. The old man is dissatisfied, I'm afraid that the commander Si Zao has Nie Guang's eyeliner, and it's not good to be rough and startle the snake."

The prince asked back: "Then let him conspire with Nie Guang and wait for an opportunity to rebel?"

I pondered for a moment and asked him, "I have a way to kill three birds with one stone, do you want to hear it?"

It's been a day since returned to the Princess Mansion.

The weather is very good, the wind is gentle, the flowers in the house are lush, and the bamboos are green, which is very beautiful.

When I have nothing to do, I will most likely sit at the water pavilion. Sometimes I will look at a bay of water, a thread, a halo, and I will remember it for a long time.

I don't sit still because I'm lazy, but because I walk a lot and even get tired.

The severe poison made me sleepy and sleepless, and my heart ached every night.

Zhou Wenyu said that my death is coming, and the pain will increase day by day.

He could only prescribe some pain-relieving medicine for me to take, and even suggested that I might as well try his newly developed poison called "Mengguixi", which can comfortably return to the West in a sweet dream.

I categorically refused. By the way, I instructed Uncle Fu to not prepare dinner for Zhou Wenyu on behalf of the kitchen.

It was at that moment that I realized how scared I was of dying.

I sigh and sigh.

At this moment, Meng Die, the maid serving tea beside her, couldn't help but said, "Princess, this is the seventy-seventh time you sighed."

I looked up at the sky and said, "This princess is just sighing about the mysterious truth of 'life is too short to cherish when it is time to cherish'."

Mengdie's face was blank: "?"

I shook my head and asked indifferently: "Xiaodie, if you can predict that you will be bitten to death by a poisonous snake in the mountains and forests someday in the coming year, what would you do?"

Will you cherish the present, experience the thousands of worlds in your limited days, and treat the people around you who love you well?

Mengdie blinked: "I won't be climbing."

"..."

I supported my forehead, "Forget it, how can you know the heart of this princess? Time flies like a white horse, sometimes for you, day after day, year after year, for this princess, it's like a flash in the pan. In the meantime, maybe you still look forward to the future, and this princess can only be attached to the day and night, do you understand?"

Mengdie nodded: "I don't understand."

I looked at the gradually darkening sky, and sighed again: "Just as you stayed with this princess in this waterfront until this time, before you knew it, the sky was getting dark, I'm afraid you've already been sitting on pins and needles, and for this princess, this day is in a hurry. , as if only an hour had passed..."

"However, we really only sat here for an hour..." Meng Die pointed to the sky, "It's dark because it's going to rain princess..."
