"Shuming - I haven't seen you in a long time! I can't believe that after all these years, you dare to come back to see me! The Emperor leaned weakly on the bed, a dragon robe scattered over his shoulders, and his breathing became a little short of time because of the excitement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shuming knelt down in front of the bed, saluted the emperor and said, "The emperor is safe!" ”

The emperor turned his head and snorted coldly, "Huh, Wan'an? I have robbed you of your identity, status, wealth, killed your sister, and treated your nephew coldly, you should wish I died early! And say such false things! ”

Shuming lowered his head, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "What happened to the minister is that the minister is to blame, and the minister has no resentment, as for the minister's sister, she can only be blamed for being born in a powerful family!" ”

When the emperor saw him say this, he slowly turned his head and asked nonchalantly, "What about your nephew?" ”

"He's not the nephew of a criminal!" Shuming suddenly raised his head and said in a loud voice. The emperor was stunned, his cold and wanton face suddenly melted, he raised his head and laughed, after laughing, he looked at Shuming sympathetically with a mocking expression and said, "Shuming, Shuming, I thought that you had been up and down in officialdom for so many years, although you were cunning, but you did not lose your character, I didn't expect you to even recognize your nephew today in order to ask for this verbal convenience!" If this is said to the concubine who died unjustly under Jiuquan, I am afraid that she will be chilled when she hears it! ”

"What the sinner said is true!" Shuming said solemnly. The Emperor asked amusedly, "Tell me, what is the true law?" ”

Shuming's eyes sank, and he said word by word, "Emperor Qi, the criminal ministers came to the imperial capital this time for the sake of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Before the criminal minister came to the imperial capital, Humble Jing suddenly contracted a strange disease, and before leaving, she told the old minister the truth. ”

"Shuming, don't sell Guanzi, you have to know that it is not your face that you can stand here and fight today!" The emperor impatiently patted the quilt under him.

"Humble Jing told the guilty minister that fifteen years ago, she and Concubine Shu gave birth in the palace together, Concubine Shu gave birth to a baby girl, and she gave birth to a baby boy, but Concubine Shu was afraid that her position would not be guaranteed, so she threatened her to change the baby." Shuming straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, the current Princess Shurou is your biological daughter, and the current His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is actually ......."

"Nonsense!" The emperor slapped the bed board violently, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Your Majesty, how could a criminal tell such a lie? The criminal minister knew that paper could not contain the fire, and now he said it in person in the hope that the emperor could read the old minister's dedication to the emperor for many years and forgive others in the house. The old minister is willing to apologize with death! With that, Shuming slammed into the big pillar next to him. The emperor's eyes sank, and he said in a deep voice into the air, "Stop him!" As soon as the words fell, a black figure suddenly appeared in the room, quickly moved towards Shuming, and slapped Shuming on the ground with a palm.

Shuming felt a piercing pain in his back, lying on the ground twitching uncontrollably, and red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

The emperor looked at Shuming, who "surrendered himself", his eyes were not moved at all except for the thick disgust, and he said coldly to the man in black, "Lock him up, spread my will, and Xuan Shurou will meet you!" ”

The man in black took out his chain and cuffed Shuming, and then retreated silently. It's just that Shuming's drooping eyelids hide madness and pride, he knows that the emperor is a cruel character, he will only kill them all, and he will definitely not show mercy to his subordinates. It was because of this that he would not hesitate to rush to the imperial capital to expose Leng Lichen's unknown life experience. Shu Ming knew the consequences of doing so, and he would lose everything. However, Leng Lichen refused to obey him, and held a grudge against him, if he didn't do anything, Leng Lichen would destroy him sooner or later. Rather than passively waiting for death, it is better to die with him. If he becomes a king or loses a crime, he can't get the supreme right, he will die a vigorous death, and he will destroy everything he has created with his own hands!

"Yun Gongzi, your face is not very good-looking! What happened? Xia Er asked.

Yun Mo turned around, looked at the closed firewood door in front of him and said, "Mrs. Shu is dead!" ”

"What! I didn't expect Shuming to be so ruthless, and even killed his wife who had been tied for many years! Xia Er said indignantly.

Yun Mo sneered, "It's said that tiger poison doesn't eat children!" Didn't Shuming leave all his two sons in the book just to make them wait for death? ”

Xia Er snorted coldly, "In this way, Shuming let Shuwu run alone, and he is kind to this eldest son!" ”

The conversation outside fell into the ears of Shuwu in the firewood room word for word. What do they say? Mother is dead, it was my father who killed her! The father also left the second and third brothers in the house to die! What the hell is my father doing? No, no, they were lying to him, they must have wanted to use him to deliberately say it to him! But what is the use of it?

In the emperor's bedroom, a eunuch who passed the word came in.

"Your Majesty, the maidservant of Shurou Hall said that Princess Shurou went out of the palace early in the morning! Now the maidservant is waiting outside the temple to deliver a message, but do you want to announce her in? ”

The emperor flicked his sleeves angrily, "No need, bring my Praetorian Guards to tie up the prince to see me!" ”

When the eunuch heard this, he raised his head slightly, and then retreated.

"What! The emperor is going to tie up His Royal Highness the Prince! Does my father-in-law know what happened? Liu Xiang looked at the little eunuch in front of him with an anxious expression. The little eunuch also shook his head anxiously.

Liu Xiang immediately decided, "In this way, you take the Praetorian Guards to go slowly, and I will inform the prince first!" ”

The little eunuch hesitated a little and agreed. Since Liu Ling returned to his hometown, Liu Xiang took his place. The little eunuch thought to himself that since it was the order of the great commander, he couldn't help but listen, not to mention that now everyone who knows a little bit knows that the people in this palace are biased towards the prince, and he is more inclined to the prince's cold and upright than the emperor's uncertainties!

Liu Xiang hurried to the East Palace. After listening to what he said, Leng Lichen didn't panic at all, but said as if he didn't care about himself, "Commander Liu, you have overstepped!" ”

Liu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously, "The subordinates know, but please come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes up with a solution, the subordinates are willing to be punished!" ”

Leng Lichen turned the plain teacup on the table, and said lightly, "If you come, you will be safe." ”

"......"

"Commander Liu's kindness is appreciated by the palace, please go back! It wouldn't be good if people saw you appear in the East Palace at this time! Leng Lichen interrupted him. Although Liu Xiang was still anxious in his heart, he knew that Leng Lichen's cold attitude was actually silently caring about him, thinking that since he had no ability to protect him, don't drag him down, His Royal Highness the Old Prince's calm appearance must have already thought of a way to deal with it. Thinking like this, Liu Xiang left quickly.

As soon as Liu Xiang left with his front foot, the eunuch who delivered the decree came with his hind foot. Leng Lichen let people tie his hands, and obediently followed them into the emperor's bedroom.

"Get on your knees!" As soon as the emperor saw Leng Lichen, he became excited, and he gasped for breath to keep his breathing smooth.

Leng Lichen didn't hesitate at all, knelt down straight, and said with the same expression as usual, "Erchen greets his father!" His expression was too calm, and he hadn't glanced at Shuming next to him from the time he entered the door. This couldn't help but make the emperor suspicious, thinking that he had been embarrassed several times, but he didn't defeat him, and even lost in the end! He decided to test the day, and then asked angrily, "Prince, do you know what I have announced you here for?" ”

Leng Lichen replied lightly, "Erchen doesn't know. ”

"Some people say that you are not my son, but the child of the concubine back then, and that my biological child is a girl, it is your cousin Shuli. What do you think? The emperor looked down at Leng Lichen, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

Leng Lichen still has that faint look, "Erchen doesn't know." ”

"Okay, you don't know!" The emperor laughed angrily, pointed to the top of Leng Lichen's head, and suddenly shouted outward, "Come on, bring a bowl of water!" ”

A eunuch bowed his head and brought in a tray with a bowl of water. The emperor walked to a wall, pulled out his sword, cut his hand open, dripped a drop of blood into the bowl, and then went around to Leng Lichen's back, and slashed his sword on his arm, the blood on his arm soaked through his clothes and fell into the bowl. I saw the blood droplets from the two sides spinning and slowly approaching, and finally slowly fused together.

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Leng Lichen, who had never been shocked, and had never even frowned, and threw down his sword angrily. The sound of the cold sword landing on the ground woke Shuming in a trance, and he sat on the ground tremblingly, shaking his head incessantly.

"Shuming, how do you explain it?" The emperor looked coldly at Shuming, who kept shaking his head on the ground. Shuming slowly climbed to the emperor's feet and pleaded, "Your Majesty, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!" It was obvious that the child was changed back then, but my wife's maidservant Yun'er saw it......"

"And where is this cloud now?" The Emperor asked coldly.

"She's dead!" Shuming fell to the ground as if he had lost his pillar, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and stood up slightly, "My brother Shuliang knows, but he is a little crazy and stupid......"

"Crazy? Hahahaha-" The Emperor kicked Shuming to the ground, "You made me believe the words of a madman!" ”

"Your Majesty, he is sometimes crazy and sometimes not crazy!" Shuming said, grasping the last glimmer of hope.

At this time, Leng Lichen suddenly spoke, "How does Master Shu determine when my second uncle is crazy and when he is not?" Well? ”

His mocking words attracted the attention of the emperor, he and Shuming had not made him speak out for so long, and now he suddenly spoke, it seems that he is tired! The emperor raised his hand, "In that case, let's announce the book Liang to see you!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Shuming said uneasily.

The Emperor yelled at him impatiently, "What else is the matter with you? No, I'm going to die! ”

"No, no! It's just that the second brother of the minister was sent by the minister for treatment before the minister came to the imperial capital, but he was robbed halfway! Shuming hurriedly explained.

After hearing this, the emperor angrily pointed at Shuming, "Shuming you ......"

At this time, the shrill voice of the eunuch came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Shuliang, the second master of the Library, begs to see the Emperor!" ”

"Shuliang ......" Shuming muttered, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

Shuliang didn't seem to have anything to do, but he saw that his steps were calm, his head was held high, his eyes were clear, and there was a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows. Shuliang came to the center of the hall and knelt on the ground to salute, "Caomin Shuliang knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"You're Shuliang? Didn't Shuming say you're crazy? The emperor glanced thoughtfully at Leng Lichen next to him.

Shuliang saluted again and said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, it was really a helpless choice for the grass people to pretend to be crazy and stupid before, and I hope the emperor will forgive me." This time, the grass people came to expose the crime of the criminal minister! ”

"Exposing Shuming's crimes?" The Emperor glanced at Shuming.

"Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about!" Shuming looked at Shuliang with angry eyes, but Shuliang didn't look at him, and said more respectfully, "Your Majesty, the former Prime Minister Shuming was unwilling to lose his official position because of corruption and bribery, and he secretly colluded with the prime minister of the current dynasty to do wrong, and later Prime Minister Shen couldn't bear to resign with his conscience and was brutally killed by Shuming on the way to resign. As he spoke, Shuliang took out a stack of letters from his sleeve and held it high above his head, "Your Majesty, please see, this is the correspondence between Shuming and Prime Minister Shen, which was stolen from the mansion by the grass people!" ”

The emperor turned out that the letter did not open. He had indeed received the news that Shen Qingping had been killed on the way back to his hometown, but he deliberately did not investigate the matter.

"Why are you exposing your brother, what good is this for you?" The emperor suddenly looked at Shuliang and asked.

Shuliang listened to the emperor's words, knelt and turned to look at Shuming who was dressed in chains, his eyes were scarlet, "For revenge!" My two beloved women, all died at his hands! ”

The emperor looked coldly at this fratricidal slaughter in the mansion, and there was not a trace of turmoil in his heart. He opened the letter and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became. Suddenly, he threw all the letter paper in his hand on Shuming's head, and shouted angrily, "Shuming, you are so bold! ”

Shuming's gaze had drifted, and he was silent without saying a word. The emperor made a gesture and ordered someone to take Shuming and Shuliang down, but he didn't want the guards to suddenly vomit blood and black blood when they touched Shuliang. Shuming gradually came back to his senses as he smelled the strong smell of blood, and he felt his neck being choked, which suddenly made him breathless.

"Second brother...... Do you ...... What! Shuming looked at the owner of the bloody hand and asked with difficulty.

Shuliang's eyes were scarlet, and his bloodstained face showed a crazy smile and forbearance pain, "I finally ...... Personally...... Report...... Before he finished speaking, ......he lost his breath.

After the guard's inspection, he said, "Your Majesty, he took poison!" ”

The Emperor raised his hand, and someone cleaned up the scene. The emperor turned around and picked up the sword on the ground and slashed at Leng Lichen, who did not move. The rope that tied Leng Lichen's hands fell to the ground, and Leng Lichen saluted the emperor and said, "Thank you father and emperor for washing away the grievances of your son!" ”

The emperor sneered, "No need to thank me, thank you for your own cleverness!" From beginning to end, you just want to get rid of Shuming with my hand! I have fulfilled your wish, are you satisfied? ”

Leng Lichen didn't deny it, but said, "Erchen retires!" ”

Leng Lichen stepped out of the palace door and heard the sound of falling things inside and the eunuch's panicked cry for help, "Come on, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor, the emperor has fainted!" ”

Leng Lichen, who was standing on the steps, covered his injured arm, and looked coldly at the eunuchs and palace maids who were flustered in and out of the door.
