Pei Qing chuckled. Tomorrow, killing the king and letting Shi Jun take the throne would be the first step. How could he let him go free?

He took out a bottle of medicine from the cabinet and said, "Take it."

After Wei Xin left, Pei Qing took out a painting. It was the "Full Moon Auspicious Picture" that Princess Huan asked him to paint when Shi Jun was born. In the painting, Qingge exuded kindness and looked at Shi Jun in the cradle.

Of the two cousins, Empress Xiao was introverted, while Qingge was lively and had a better relationship with her cousin Pei Qing.

On the night when Prince Huan rebelled and was executed in the palace, Pei Qing rushed to the palace.

Qingge cried until she fainted and was wailing when she was woken up.

"Qingge, someone framed Prince Huan. You need to cheer up for your child and clear his name later."

Qingge cried, "Your Majesty has long been jealous of the prince. This time, I fabricated charges with his authorization. How can I possibly overturn the case?"

"Precisely because of this, the child must grow up to avenge his father!"

Qingge was reluctant to take her son to death, so she entrusted Shi Jun to him, "Cousin, please take care of Jun and raise him up. If he has no intention of power, he should not tell the prince. Be a happy and simple person." "

Don't worry, cousin. I will raise Jun well."

That night, Pei Qing had someone secretly send Shi Jun out through the back door. Qingge burned down the house and burned herself. Since then, no one knew that Prince Shi Jun was still alive.

Pei Qing had told Shi Jun about the blood feud since he could remember. Shi Jun learned everything from the palace to train Shi Yan, and even worked harder, otherwise he would be whipped.

Pei Qing rolled up the painting and said with a smile: "Qingge, your son will soon be the new generation of emperor. He is very good, and you should be able to rest in peace."

In the Zichen Hall, Wei Xin presented the medicine bottle.

Shi Jun opened it and threw it on the table, and said coldly: "Do you believe that old thing can give me the antidote?"

Wei Xin said nothing. Smart people knew that Pei Qing would not let go of his control over Shi Jun.

"Your Highness may be able to find a famous doctor, maybe..."

Shi Jun waved his hand, "Forget it, let's talk about it after tomorrow's big event."

The next day, after Shi Jun's morning court session, a group of people surrounded the Qiyuan Hall.

In the inner room of the Qiyuan Hall, the emperor and Taoist Lin were practicing in seclusion.

Suddenly there was a commotion. Taoist Lin observed that the emperor was calm and composed, and could not help but clench his whisk.

Eighteen years can turn an emperor into a Taoist priest who lives a carefree life, or turn an originally irritable prince into an emperor who plans and plans.

"Your Majesty, this is the elixir of immortality that the old Taoist has refined with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I wish your majesty great fortune."

The emperor was delighted, but did not take the elixir. He only said, "I'm here, old Taoist."

The two sat cross-legged, closed their eyes and understood the truth according to Taoist Lin's discussion of the Tao and the state.

In an instant, guards in black iron cavalry came in and surrounded the place.

The two still did not open their eyes.

"Your Majesty! You love Taoism, you can concentrate on this in the future!"

Pei Qing and Shi Jun swaggered in.

The emperor said faintly: "Why are you so anxious, Pei Aiqing?"

Shi Jun stepped forward: "Father, you don't care about state affairs because of practicing Taoism. I come to ask you to write a letter of abdication." Taoist

Lin shook his head. The emperor opened his eyes and examined Shi Jun, "Are you here as the prince or in another capacity?"

Shi Jun's eyes were red and full of hatred. He gritted his teeth and said: "You dog emperor, you caused my father and mother to die tragically. I have endured for eighteen years just for today!"

Taoist Lin saw that the emperor was not too surprised. Could it be that he had known that the prince in the palace was a fake prince? He

thought to himself that it would be difficult to achieve the goal of eliminating King Huan and his son today.

"You dog emperor, your son has already fallen off a cliff and died! Are you heartbroken? Write the abdication edict quickly!"

The emperor looked at the angry Shi Jun, his eyes revealing hidden kindness, and only Taoist Lin could understand.

Spreading out the yellow scroll, the emperor smiled mysteriously, "Lord Pei, after eighteen years of planning, do you think it will succeed immediately?"

Pei Qing laughed, "Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything else. Giving Xian to the prince is a good thing for the country and the people."

In an instant, two teams appeared, one was the imperial guards brought by Xu Sheng and Prince Fu, and the other was the death squad brought by Shi Yan.

"Fake prince, Pei Gou! You finally couldn't help it, I've been waiting for a long time!"

Shi Yan appeared in golden armor, majestic and impressive, shocking everyone, except Master Lin.

"Father, I've suffered so much, I'm back!"

The emperor smiled and said, "Prince, I'm glad you're back!"

Xu Sheng and Master Lin exchanged glances, and they both knew that the emperor had a trick up his sleeve.

Shi Yan and Shi Jun started fighting, swords flashing, and every sword was going to kill the other, but it was a pity that they practiced the same kung fu, so it was difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

"Shi Yan, you are actually Ah Fu? You are

so good at deceiving me!" Shi Yan said sinisterly: "Bah, you also have the nerve to call yourself me? Who gave you the face? You gave me the death squad, very good!"

Pei Qing's people and Shi Yan's people fought each other. The emperor asked Taoist Lin to stand up and just turned a golden dragon gem knob. In less than a moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came. It was the Jinwu Army and the secret guards dispatched by the emperor.

They surrounded this place and came in and shouted: "Guard!"

Taoist Lin counted up to 10,000 people from the footsteps.

Pei Qing and Shi Jun were quickly captured and pressed to the ground.

The emperor took the seat and threw out a memorial, "This is the result of the investigation of the case of King Huan's rebellion by the three officials. It was originally a false case."

Shi Yan was surprised and picked up the memorial to read it. It seemed that there was nothing wrong, but the fake prince could not be killed!

"Father, even so, Shi Jun murdered his son and pretended to be the prince, which is also a capital crime!"

Shi Jun was very smart. Since the emperor said it was a false case, he immediately went along with it and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, uncle, my nephew was deceived and beaten by Pei Qing since he was a child. I have no intention of power, but I want family affection too much."

The emperor came over and helped him up, "Child, your father and mother will be very pleased to see you grow up. You have suffered all these years."

Although Shi Yan and Xu Sheng were dissatisfied with the emperor's abnormality, they did not dare to stop him.

The emperor said: "Pei Qing is a rebel. He will be beheaded immediately at the Meridian Gate and his entire clan will be exterminated!"

"Prince Shi Jun has suffered a lot while living outside. I will confer upon you the title of Prince of Jin and grant you the fiefdom of Jinling."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, nephew."

Shi Jun looked at Shi Yan provocatively.

Shi Yan clenched his fists and angrily left Xuanzheng Hall, where he ran into Empress Xiao.

"Mother! I'm back."

"Yan'er, you've suffered."

The mother and son hugged each other and cried bitterly. Before Shi Yan could say how irritating the emperor's decree was today, Empress Xiao said anxiously, "Yan'er, Jun'er is really not dead. That's great!"

Shi Yan let go of Empress Xiao and choked with grievance, "Mother, you like Shi Jun more, right? I'm your biological child!"

Everything has changed. His loving father and mother are now on the side of the fake prince.

"Yan'er!"

Empress Xiao saw Shi Yan running away, "This child is always angry with me. When will he grow up?"

She was about to enter the Xuanzheng Hall when a Taoist priest with a young face and long hair came out.

"The old Taoist has seen the Empress."

"You are Taoist Lin, right?"

Empress Xiao saw his eyes and panicked for no reason. The only person's eyes she was afraid of in this world were the eyes of a person.

Nineteen years ago, when the emperor was selecting concubines in front of the palace, he had a pair of daunting eyes.

That was the first time she felt the pressure of the emperor.

Although the emperor had chosen her that day, she and Qingge were the cousins ​​of the empress dowager, and the empress dowager helped her to the throne of the empress.

At that time, the emperor's mind was mainly on the government affairs. He treated her with respect, even a little cold, and liked Concubine Yue more.

Fortunately, Empress Xiao was pregnant and gave birth to Shi Yan.

At that time, she was very afraid of the emperor, who was always unpredictable. Empress Xiao thought that this was the end of her life

. Unexpectedly, after the Huan Wang case, the emperor became fond of her. She thought that this was because of the death of her sister Qingge, and the emperor felt guilty and changed.

Not only did he strangle her favorite concubine who harmed her, he also dismissed the six palaces, gave her meticulous love, and immediately made Shi Yan the crown prince.

Since then, she has never seen such a frightening look in his eyes again.

-----

When their eyes met, it seemed as if time had stopped.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be turbidity in your eyes. Here is a bottle of elixir that can turn turbidity into clearness. Your Majesty can try it."

Empress Xiao seemed to be calmed down and said in a daze, "The Taoist priest is thoughtful."

When she came to her senses, the man had disappeared into the distance.

How could two people in the world have such similar eyes?

Entering the Xuanzheng Hall, the emperor was playing with a jade ball. Seeing her come in, he said happily, "Xue'er, are you coming to have afternoon tea with me?"

"Your Majesty is in a good mood."

The emperor stood up, supported her shoulders and said, "Xue'er, it must be your prayers that were heard by the heavens. The child of Prince Huan and his wife is still alive. Shi Jun is a promising young man and excellent in all aspects."

For some reason, Empress Xiao's original joy could not be lifted at this time. She squeezed out a smile, "Qingge should rest in peace. Your Majesty has made Jun'er the Prince of Jin. When will he go to the fiefdom?"

"What do you think, Xue'er?"

The emperor pulled her to sit on the couch in the inner hall, kissed her forehead and said, "The case of Prince Huan was framed by treacherous ministers such as Pei Qing. Now that he has been vindicated, I want Jun'er to stay in the palace for a while to let him feel the family love, so that he can assist Yan'er in consolidating the country in the future."

Empress Xiao thought of Yan'er's resistance just now, "Your Majesty, Yan'er suffered a lot when he was assassinated, and he is in a bad mood. How can we comfort him?"

The emperor smiled "Yan'er has been unruly since childhood, and needs to be tempered to become a great man. This time he was able to endure and expose Pei Qing's conspiracy, which was very good."

Empress Xiao nodded, "Your Majesty, how about preparing a banquet the day after tomorrow to celebrate Yan'er's safe return and Jun'er's recognition of her ancestors?"

The emperor held her in his arms and said softly, "I listen to you, Xue'er. The luckiest thing in my life is to have you. This is a gift from God."

He did not regret it.

"Your Majesty treats me very well, and I feel very happy."

Everyone in the country knew that the emperor and the empress were in harmony and had a deep relationship. It was once a good story.

At noon, in Xu's mansion, Xu Mian just came back from fishing. As soon as she entered the door, she was picked up by a man.

"A Yan! I heard from my father that Pei Gou was executed. It's really gratifying."

Shi Yan put her on the incense table and looked at her seriously. Xu Mian was shocked. Could he have guessed wrong? It was the fake prince, the current Jin Wang Shi Jun?

"Your Highness."

Shi Yan held her face and asked seriously: "Mian Mian, who are you happy for?"

For whom? His eyes had hidden dissatisfaction and red sadness.

"A Yan, you finally regained your identity. I am ecstatic!"

Xu Mian hoped that this answer would make Shi Yan return to normal.

He hugged her tightly and buried his head in her neck.

After a long while, he choked up a little and said, "Mianmian, father and mother like Shi Jun more, what about you? Who do you like?"

It turned out that it was because of this, the devil of the world could also be so frustrated.

Xu Mian stroked his head and comforted him softly, "Ayan, I like you, father and mother too, don't be sad." Shi

Yan raised his head, his eyes were red, "Mianmian, do you only love Gu Dui?"

He said only very seriously, Xu Mian agreed, "Yes, I only love Ayan, don't be sad, you are the biological son of father and mother, how could they not love you, right?"

"It's okay. I only care about your opinion."

Xu Mian saw that he was really sad this time, and coaxed him, "Ayan is the most outstanding man in the world, the most wise and powerful Crown Prince. Although I am not talented, I admire His Highness very much..."

Shi Yan lowered his head and approached her, his warm breath lingering in front of the two of them, "Mianmian, I love you too."

He clasped her neck with his big hand and kissed her seriously...

"Mianmian, it's still early today..."

"Then let's go release the paper finch?"

The veil was removed, his eyes were full of affection, and his gaze into her eyes seemed to spark sparks. Xu Mian shyly met his eyes, her face pink.

But she screamed at his sudden attack,

"Ayan, you are annoying."

"No, Mian Mian is so beautiful that it touches my heart."

He lifted her hair and rubbed her soft and round earlobes devoutly.

"Are you shy?"

Xu Mian's wet almond eyes were as bright as clear lake water, sparkling, and she turned away with a slight breath.

But it made him more excited.

He picked her up and sat her on the edge of the couch. Xu Mian wanted to lean on his shoulders, but was forced apart. The temperature of his palm on her jade shoulders was too high.

"Ayan, let me lie down for a while, I'm tired."

After patiently soothing her, "Do you feel energetic?"

Xu Mian fell to one side, sweat on her smooth back.

"Mian Mian, tomorrow I will take you back to the palace, and I will live with you in Penglai Palace and Zichen Palace first. I will tear them down and rebuild them, and we will move in together after they are built, how about it?" "Okay

, I want an ebony swing."

"What else? I will satisfy whatever Mian Mian wants, no more and no less..."

"Help, there is no more..."

"Mian Mian, be good, you said it was good to comfort me..."

The next morning, Xu Sheng came to the door several times, and just when he was about to knock on the door, he heard an indescribable sound, and shook his head and left.

He knew that Shi Yan would bring Xu Mian back to the palace today, and wanted to give him some instructions, but he never thought that the two of them were still doing bad things early in the morning.

After noon, in Xu's house.

The study was closed, and there were only two people in the room. Taoist Lin opened his temples, and Xu Sheng opened his mouth in surprise, his eyes wide.

"You, you are?"

Taoist Lin's voice was deep and majestic, "My dear Xu, how are you? You are the third place in the third year of Yinde, and you won the first place because of an article "On the World."

This face is exactly the same as the emperor, and he hasn't seen this look in many years.

Everything that couldn't be understood was explained.

Xu Sheng knelt down, "Your Majesty, is that you? You personally reviewed this article that year."

Tears flowed down his face, "Your Majesty, I once suspected the assassination of King Huan eighteen years ago, but... what happened?"

Taoist Lin helped Xu Sheng up and sighed, "I was only soft-hearted at the time, so I was assassinated by King Huan, and I took his place."

That night, it was a secret that no one knew...
