After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 384 Three Cups of Wine

The roar outside the palace was loud.

It was deserted inside the palace.

Especially the East Palace.

Prince Ning Zhiyi was sitting in his study, his chubby face had turned as pale as paper, and those eyes that were originally full of hope had also dimmed at this moment.

Grandpa's painstaking efforts for so many years were actually wiped out by Li Chen'an's hundreds of people in Yunji Bieye!
Grandpa is confused!
In fact, Ning Zhiyi has figured it out now, even if his grandfather wins in Yunji Bieye, his position in the Eastern Palace will not be guaranteed.

Because the people in Kyoto will not agree.

They will break through the palace walls.

Will rush into this prince's mansion.

He will hang himself up, or tear himself into pieces.

This is how water can capsize a boat, but the boat is helpless.

He looked up at the extremely familiar palace, only then did he realize that the so-called power was completely vulnerable under the turbulent tide.

At this moment, Huo Baiyang, the young master of Zhan Shifu, hurried in.

He stood in front of Ning Zhiyi, bowed, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the soldiers from Nanping City and Fenglai City... were stopped by the Red Flame Army and the Shenwu Army respectively three miles outside the city."

"The situation of the battle has been defeated. I am afraid that the promise made by Duke Huai is already, very difficult to realize."

Ning Zhiyi bowed his head dejectedly, and after a while laughed at himself, raised his head to look at Huo Baiyang, and asked:
"Has Li Chenan entered the palace yet?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Li Chen'an has already entered the palace, and said something to the people surrounding the palace on the palace wall. At this moment, those people are retreating, and the danger of the palace has been lifted."

"Li Chen'an has even ordered the Shenwu army to withdraw from the palace, and the defense of the palace has been handed over to General Cheng Zhecheng, the left guard Zhonglang of Qianniuwei."

Ning Zhiyi pondered for a moment, "Can Li Chen come to the East Palace?"

Huo Baiyang shook his head, "He went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Oh, it seems that he is going to release the former Minister of the Imperial City... By the way, how about Concubine Ji?"

"Return to Your Highness, Concubine Ji has hanged herself!"

Ning Zhiyi was stunned, Ji Tai's family was wiped out, the second prince Ning Zhixing followed Li Chenan to Shuangjiao Mountain to suppress the bandits, Li Chenan had already entered the palace, but there was no news about his second younger brother Ning Zhixing... In this way, Ning Zhixing may The Shuangjiao Mountain is already full of bad luck and bad luck.

Now that her father had passed away, the conflict between Concubine Ji and Li Chenan was already irreconcilable. Now that Li Chenan was about to enter the palace, Concubine Ji had no choice but to kill herself.

What about yourself?
Thinking about the fate of the past, will Li Chen'an let himself go?

He took the initiative to give up the East Palace, and showed Li Chen'an that he had no ambition to be an emperor, so maybe he could save his life.

Just when Ning Zhiyi was thinking this way, he suddenly saw Huo Baiyang clapping his hands, and then he saw a palace maid walking outside the door.

This court lady is holding a white silk in her hand!
Huo Baiyang took the white silk and looked at the astonished Ning Zhiyi.

"Your Highness, I have been by your side for more than five years in a blink of an eye."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust in me all these years."

"Your Highness, you are a good man!"

"I can't bear to do anything to His Royal Highness, but... His Highness is not dead, and the minister's mission cannot be completed."

"Actually, it's not too important whether the minister's task is completed or not, but the master said that it's better to solve such things as future troubles as soon as possible!"

"Li Chen'an said that a single spark can start a prairie fire, so the master thought that those sparks should be completely extinguished."

"Li Chen'an has entered the palace today, Your Highness, please go on the road!"

Huo Baiyang hung the white silk on the beam of the house, tied it, and brought a stool, but Ning Zhiyi didn't move it.

He looked at Huo Baiyang for a long time, and asked:
"So, you are also Xi Wei's person?"

Huo Baiyang cupped his hands and bowed: "I dare not lie to Your Highness, I can't be regarded as Mr. Xi's person, because I don't have enough status, but I obey Mr. Xi's orders, and I can be regarded as a... pawn in the hands of the old man!"

"Don't your Huo family have a grudge against Li Chen'an?"

Huo Baiyang smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Compared to today's world affairs, I'm afraid that Mr. Li has already forgotten about such trivial matters."

Ning Zhiyi narrowed his small eyes slightly, "So at this time, you are using my life to ask Li Chen'an for glory?"

Huo Baiyang shook his head, "Your Highness is wrong!"

"His Royal Highness commits suicide, and the minister will also go far away."

"Young Master Li will not know that His Royal Highness committed suicide by the minister. The minister just carried out the order of Mr. Xi and helped Master Li put out a spark."

"Your Highness, it's almost time, you should be on your way!"

"If I return to Ningguo and come to the capital in the future, I will definitely go to burn incense in front of His Highness's tomb!"

Ning Zhiyi closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them again, "Since I'm going to die, can you tell me who Xi Wei is?"

Huo Baiyang shook his head again: "Sorry, Mr. Xi is also dead."

Ning Zhiyi was startled: "When?"

"Just last night!"

"...Where are you going?"

"The minister will go to the state of Wu."

"Why go to Wu country?"

"Mr. Xi said in his dying words that Mr. Li would most likely go to the country of Wu. I'm just a pawn, so I should go to make a stand first."

"What if I don't want to kill myself?"

"This……"

Huo Baiyang didn't say any more, he took off the white silk, and walked behind Ning Zhiyi.

Ning Zhiyi suddenly turned around, "What do you want to do?"

"Your Highness, this spark of yours must be extinguished, otherwise..."

He put the white silk around Ning Zhiyi's neck and strangled it hard!
"Otherwise, Ningguo will be in trouble!"

"Your death is actually heavier than Mount Tai!"

Ning Zhiyi struggled, kicked his legs, his face gradually turned purple, and then became silent.

Huo Baiyang sighed slightly, and hung the white silk on the beam of the house again, then picked up Ning Zhiyi's heavy body and hung it on the white silk.

He looked at Ning Zhiyi, who was already out of breath, and suddenly said in a low voice:
"You are really a good person, but you were born in the emperor's family!"

He turned and left, closing the door behind him.

He took the court lady over the wall from a defensive emptiness in the harem, and left the palace without going to the Huo Mansion in the capital.

He is Zhan Shi, the young master of Zhan Shifu. Although he is an official of the fourth rank, he is insignificant in such a large temple.

No one cares about the loss of a Shao Zhan in the court.

Except for Li Chenan, no one even suspected the death of the prince.

When Li Chenan released the officials locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, when he came to the Prince's East Palace, what he saw was a fat man who was so cold hanging on the beam in the study!

He narrowed his eyes.

He circled Ning Zhiyi's corpse twice, his feet didn't hang down, they were flat!

murder!

He didn't expose it, but just said with emotion: "Why can't you think about it?"

Ning Chuchu burst into tears.

howling!

When Xiao Wu and others put Ning Zhiyi's body down, Ning Chuchu threw herself on Ning Zhiyi's chest and cried loudly.

Li Chenan didn't say anything.

Just sigh in my heart.

What Xi Wei did was too extreme!

The harmless fat man is a good man, but he has become a victim of this struggle!

……

The evening breeze is coming, and it is a little cold.

Hua Manting sat in the cabin, with several dishes and a jug of wine on the table.

He picked up the wine glass and slowly spilled it on the ground.

"This glass of wine is a toast to the past!"

Su Muxin poured another glass of wine for him.

He spilled it on the ground again.

"This glass of wine is a toast to those who deserve to die and those who don't deserve to die but have died!"

Su Muxin poured him a third glass of wine.

He raised his glass and drank it.

"This cup, I respect Xi Wei!"
