Yanguo, Kyoto, Five Princes' Mansion.

The five princes, who were recuperating in the mansion, received a secret letter. After reading the contents of the letter, his beautiful eyebrows stretched slightly, and his slightly pale face showed a hint of a smile.

Putting the letter on the candle flame and watching it burn into ashes little by little, the fifth prince chuckled twice and said to himself: "The second brother is still so unbreathable, he is just acting as the prisoner of the country, and before he has even sat in that position, he has begun to move. Woo courtiers, exclude dissidents, and brutalize loyal and good ...... Are you really too sick to be the emperor? Stupidity! ”

Fingers buckled on the table, the fifth prince coughed lightly, and said to the guards beside him: "Go, the news that the general king was poisoned by someone, and the news of life and death is unknown, pass it on to the third prince......"

"Yes!" The guards were ordered to go out.

The fifth prince slowly stood up from his seat, clutching his dull and dull chest, coughing violently, and a hint of red overflowed from the corners of his mouth. The fifth prince smiled coldly, his broken body was thanks to his good second brother and third brother. He didn't deserve that position, and he would never let the two of them reach the top!

The queen has nothing to do under her knees, and the five princes have been raised by her side since childhood. He was intelligent and intelligent, and won the love of his father. In ordinary people's families, it is harmless for elders to favor a junior. can be born in the royal family, and if you are not careful, it will be a disaster.

When he was twelve years old, he followed his father's winter hunting, and was pushed into an ice cave by his good third brother and almost gave him his life. And his good third brother, but the moment he was discovered, he pretended to be a brotherly and jumped into the ice water to "save" him. He was actually crushed into the water and almost suffocated......

When he was recuperating in the palace, the medicine was put down*, and when the imperial doctor found out, his internal organs had been invaded by toxins, and he became a medicine jar that could not be separated from the decoction. And the initiator is his second brother who is a hypocrite!

Eight years have passed, and he is suffering from pain all the time. He dragged a crippled body, endured great pain, gritted his teeth and lived, just to see his second brother and third brother, and he couldn't ask for that position. made a lot of efforts, and in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, I don't know if his good second brother and third brother can withstand this kind of blow?

Imperial Palace, Pure Heart Hall.

"Your Majesty, the third prince asks to see you!" The eunuch Li Shun'er, looking at the emperor in the palace who teased the parrot with melon seeds, twitched the corners of his mouth and bowed down.

Emperor Shengde threw down the melon seeds in his hand, and with a speed that did not lose the young man, he rushed onto the dragon bed, changed into a look of death, and commanded weakly, "Let him in!"

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!" The tall and burly, bearded third prince strode in from the outside and bowed down to Emperor Shengde's dragon bed. The only pair of tiger eyes that were somewhat similar to the emperor, with a little concern, "Father, are you feeling better?" ”

"Ahem, ahem......" Emperor Shengde coughed vigorously and said in a hoarse voice, "It's better...... The third child, you have a heart! ”

"Father...... the emperor" The three princes wanted to speak and stopped.

Emperor Shengde glared at him and said, "Just say something, don't talk about it, like a girl!" "Chief Manager Li Shun lifted his eyelids - my emperor, are you really good at spitting foul language?

"Father, cousin...... My cousin is highly poisoned, he is being hunted down, and his life and death are unknown! "Ling Juechen's mother is the younger sister of Emperor Shengde's mother-Princess Ronghe. Ling Juechen's father saved Emperor Shengde's life during a private visit, but he was seriously injured and died. Princess Ronghe was sad and depressed, and became a monk in Cihe Nunnery. At that time, Ling Juechen was just a five-year-old child.

"Who? Who are you talking about?! Emperor Shengde suddenly sat up from the dragon couch, his face changed drastically, and he asked sharply. Not to mention that the old general Wang has always been loyal to the imperial court, let's just say that Ling Juechen is the only child left by his sister with his mother, this news is enough to make him angry!

"Cousin Mu Qing, under the poison in his body, he was chased by dozens of killers, and his life and death are unknown!" The third prince showed a sad expression at the right time, sighing. Mu Qing is Ling Juechen's word. Mu Qing - Mu Qing, in love with Mu Qingqing.

"Poof-" Emperor Shengde was grieved and furious, a mouthful of blood spurted out, a sharp pain in his chest, and he fell on the dragon couch and gasped violently, "Impossible! Mu Qing's kid is smart and peerless, and his kung fu is strong, how could he fall into someone else's way? ”

Manager Li Shun Li was shocked, and hurriedly helped the emperor to lie down, screaming: "Quick! Tell the Imperial Doctor! ”

Emperor Shengde waved his hand to stop him, stared at the third prince with majestic tiger eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Third brother, you go on!" ”

The third prince thought of the news he received, and secretly sneered, falling into the hands of his trusted henchmen, where does Ling Jiechen deserve the reputation of being amazing and brilliant? He said with a sad face: "Erchen didn't believe that his cousin would be killed so easily, and after investigation, he found that his right-hand man, Vice General Sun, had something wrong before and after his cousin's accident!" ”

"Sun You? Mu Qing once rescued him from the pile of dead, and he betrayed his savior with a wolf heart? Emperor Shengde's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, and his breathing became rapid again.

"Father, you have to take care of your health!" The third prince is really afraid that his father, who has been ill for a long time, will be angry with his own news, and the world will not be sent to the old man in vain. Two in the hands? The three princes "filially" helped the emperor stroke his chest and smooth his breath.

Emperor Shengde took a few deep breaths and said slowly: "Behind Sun You, there is the old . . . Two!? "Of his five sons, the eldest died young. The second is gloomy, the third is reckless, the fourth is disabled, and the fifth is sick and weak...... Originally, he pretended to be sick this time because he wanted to take over the machine to sharpen and sharpen his two sons.

I didn't expect the old. The second and third didn't need him to deliberately create contradictions at all, so they couldn't wait to fight. The two vied with each other to encircle the courtiers and suppress dissidents.

The third child is okay, although he acts recklessly and impulsively, he doesn't have so many tricks to damage. And the old. The second cold temperament got the opportunity to supervise the country, and it became even more intense. Recruit important ministers, exclude dissidents, and be stubborn for their own use. In just half a year, three ministers have had accidents, either at home or outside.

Some time ago, the old. The second frequently contacted the general's palace, probably touching a nail, and deliberately summoned the god of war of the Yan country from the battlefield to "find medicine" for him. He never expected that the old. Second, he was so bold as to do it to Mu Qing!

"Father Emperor Shengming!" The third prince accepted it when he saw it, after all, the source of his news was not so upright and bright, and there was no substantial evidence in his hand. Otherwise, he would have picked up the old man long ago. Second, he was pulled down from the position of the prison state!

"Check! Check it out!! Emperor Shengde's expression was slightly hideous. Old. Er, really think that he is a dying person, and don't take him seriously?!
