Refusing to marry the king of broken sleeves

In the dark cell, the light is extremely dim. In each cell, there is only one tiny window, through which one can see a small sky outside and let in a little light.Fades by lines.

In the three cells next to each other, the three figures were almost in the same posture, leaning against the wall under the window, looking up at the roof above their heads, each of them had a godless look on their faces.

After a while, one of them turned his head and looked at the cell in the middle, with deep hatred in his eyes, and even a killing intent, as if he wanted to swallow that person alive.

The big hand on the knee tightened for a moment, Huangfuxi squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Mo Yingyu sharply and viciously, but there was a sinister expression on his handsome but somewhat embarrassed face.

Suddenly, he rushed to the iron fence near Mo Yingyu's cell, grabbed the fence tightly with both hands, glared at Mo Yingyu fiercely, and shouted angrily: "You bitch! Why did you frame this king! "

With a calm expression on her face, Mo Yingyu slightly turned her head to look at him, snorted coldly through her nose, and said nonchalantly: "Third prince, what have you done yourself, you won't forget it so quickly, right? Now it’s time to question me.”

"You bitch!" Continued to curse angrily, Huangfuxi pointed at her, as if wanting to grab her in front of him, "How dare you slander this king! You should make it clear, when will this king instruct Are you going to seduce the boss? You are the ones who did such a mediocre thing and framed this king! You woman, you are so cruel!"

There was no change in mood all the time, Mo Yingyu sneered, looked at him with a little disdain, and said sarcastically: "Compared with the third prince, how can I be cruel? Are you cruel? You actually took advantage of the emperor's weakness to frame the eldest prince! Fortunately, the eldest prince has always been so kind to you!"

When she said this, she glanced out of the corner of her eye. Huangfuyan in the cell on the other side, when she saw Huangfuyan's face also turned gloomy, an imperceptible light twitched at the corner of her lips. laugh.

Huangfuyan frowned slightly and looked at the two solemnly, did not speak aloud, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

This time, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to stand up again.The mistakes he made were mistakes that the emperor would never forgive.

Back then, the emperor suspected that Concubine Zhen had committed adultery. Although there was no evidence to prove that she had committed adultery, the emperor still ignored her for more than [-] years, and even the fourth child was implicated. See.

Although no one mentioned what happened back then, everyone knew it well.Unexpectedly, he violated the emperor's taboo by committing adultery with his favorite concubine.This time, no matter whether he was framed or not, he could not escape the responsibility.

He didn't blame anyone, he only blamed himself for being obsessed with lust, failing to control his heart, and gradually falling under the gentle attack of this woman.

However, after hearing what Mo Yingyu said, Huangfuxi immediately jumped into a rage, pointed at Mo Yingyu's nose and cursed: "How dare you say that he treats me well? Among the brothers, he is the only one who treats me the least." Alright! Fight against me several times! It made me lose face, how dare you say he is nice to me?"

With a cold snort, Mo Yingyu raised the corners of her lips, smiling like a flower, but with an indescribable treachery: "Look, you are so dissatisfied with the eldest prince, that's why you ordered me to seduce him and frame him, didn't you?" Is it? Third Prince, if a big man dares to act bravely, just admit it!"

"Fuck!" Furious, Huangfuxi was walking back and forth in the cell, almost going mad, "You just wait, wait for Father to find out everything and return my innocence!"

"Okay, let's wait for the emperor to find out the matter." With a sweet smile, Mo Yingyu met his angry eyes and said calmly.

Huangfuyan, who was at the side, never spoke a word, but watched the two quarreling endlessly, with a serious and dignified expression on their embarrassed but undiminished faces.

Suddenly, at this moment, a loud and high-pitched voice came from outside the cell: "The emperor is here!"

The three of them were taken aback at the same time, each of them looked surprised and shocked, as if they didn't expect the emperor to come to the cell suddenly.Immediately afterward, the moods of the three of them were completely different.

Huangfuyan and Mo Yingyu, who were still sitting on the straw, also quickly stood up, and the three of them turned their heads to look at the entrance of the cell at the same time, their hearts beating more and more as the footsteps gradually approached.

When that bright yellow figure appeared, all three of them felt an invisible sense of oppression, which made them almost out of breath.

Kneeling down with a plop, the three saluted respectfully: "My son (concubine) kowtows to my father (the emperor), long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

The emperor walked to the cell, but did not make a sound to tell them to get up, but stared at the three with a serious face, his sharp eyes lingering around the three of them.

A young eunuch brought a chair, and the chief eunuch quickly supported the emperor to sit down, looked at his weak and pale face worriedly, and sighed softly, almost inaudibly.

After sitting down, the emperor cleared his throat and said, "When I was walking outside, I heard the commotion inside. What happened?"

Upon hearing his words, Huangfuxi hurriedly said: "Royal father, you have to decide for my son! My son was wronged. I didn't order my concubine to seduce eldest brother. My son was framed." !"

"Oh? Really?" Looking at him, the emperor put on a puzzled look and asked aloud, "Then I ask you, did you help a woman who was beaten when you were in Yixiang Pavilion?"

Somewhat dazed, Huangfuxi didn't understand why he would suddenly ask such a question. After thinking about it secretly, he nodded and said, "That's right. At that time, Erchen was going to leave Yixiang Pavilion, but saw Seeing that several men were beating a woman, they stopped the man."

"Then do you know who that woman is?"

Shaking his head, Huangfuxi frowned and replied: "The woman was beaten badly at that time, and she kept her head down, so my son didn't see her appearance clearly, let alone who she was."

"Third prince, how can you talk nonsense!" As soon as his words fell, Mo Yingyu said hastily, "How can you say you don't know me? After you saved me from those men , and even sent someone to Yixiang Pavilion to redeem me! Have you forgotten all this?"

"How is it possible?" Huangfuxi looked at Mo Yingyu in surprise, and said in disbelief, "That woman is you? You still want to frame me! When did I send someone to redeem you?"

"Third Prince, if you don't believe what I say, you should trust your personal servant, Ah Xiang!"

"Ah Xiang?" Even more puzzled, Huangfuxi glanced at Mo Yingyu, then raised his head to look at the emperor, but saw a thin figure, who came out from behind the crowd.

When he saw the man clearly, he couldn't believe it even more. He looked at the boy in shock and asked in surprise, "Ah Xiang? Why are you here?"

"My lord, it was the emperor who summoned the servants to enter the palace." Ah Xiang raised his head slightly to look at Huangfuxi, then lowered his head again, and said in a low voice, "Back then you ordered the servants to go to Yixiang Pavilion to redeem the jade concubine, and you let the servants I will tell you all your plans, tell Empress Yubi, and let her complete your plans for you."

"A Xiang!" Angrily reprimanded, Huangfu stood up abruptly, rushed to the prison door, and stretched out his hand to grab A Xiang, but the distance was too far for him to reach, "You traitor!"

"My lord, please spare me!" Ah Xiang was taken aback, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a tearful voice, "I don't want to reveal your plan, my lord, but in front of the emperor, I dare not hide anything. !"

Huangfuxi was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he could only stare at A Xiang fiercely, but his heart was filled with coldness and despair.He never expected that even his personal servant would frame and slander him like this.

Who on earth, who framed not only him, but also the boss?Even Ah Xiang, who was beside him, bribed him!

"Third brother, what else do you have to say?" Looking at him coldly, the emperor said slowly, but his tone carried an irresistible majesty and coldness.

Heart, suddenly fell to the bottom, Huangfuxi no longer looked furious, but suddenly calmed down, stretched out the hand that wanted to grab Ah Xiang, but it fell down feebly.

Pulling the corner of his mouth into a wry smile, he said in a dazed voice, "Father, what do you think, what else can I say? Don't you already believe what they said? Why do you need to ask me again?"

What he said made the emperor stunned for a moment, and a look of embarrassment and irritation flashed across his face.Clearing his throat, he said in a deep voice: "I am giving you a chance to defend yourself, but you have disappointed me so much! All the evidence and witnesses point to you, what else do you have to say?"

"Since the father has determined that it was the son-in-law's actions, the son-in-law has nothing to say." Unexpectedly, Huangfuxi did not make any excuses for himself, but said in a decisive and indifferent voice.

There is nothing greater than heartbreak, since there is no hope in his heart, why should he defend himself anymore?It just makes you look humble.

"Third!" After he finished speaking, Huangfu Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Is it really you? Are you really planning to frame me?"

Turning his head to look at him, Huangfuxi raised the corners of his lips and gave a sneer, his eyes were cold without any warmth: "So what if it's me? I've always hated you and hated you, don't you know? At first you hit me in public, and then you let me I have lost all face, do you think I will forget it easily? Also, why must the position of crown prince be yours? Why do you need to establish the position of prince?!"

Weakly fell to the ground, Huangfuyan stared at him closely, as if he didn't know him, and murmured: "That's why you framed me like this? But even if you succeed in framing me, there is still an old man ahead of you." Second, you still can't be a prince!"

"The eldest prince seems to have forgotten," Mo Yingyu said with a sneer before Huangfuxi could say anything, "The third prince has already thought about it, let me confess to the second prince, and blame everything on the second prince In this way, he can get rid of you and the second prince. It's a pity that he made a wrong calculation, how could the emperor be deceived by his plan?"

As she said that, she turned her head to look at the emperor, her eyes flickered with indescribable charm.

Her scorching gaze made the emperor very displeased. After a cold snort, he turned his head to the side, and naturally he didn't see the cunning flashing in the depths of Mo Yingyu's eyes.

"Yes. My scheme is very clumsy, so Royal Father can see through it at a glance. After all, your acting skills are better!" Looking sideways at Mo Yingyu, Huangfuxi almost gritted his teeth.

"Is the third prince praising me? If it wasn't for my good acting skills, how could the first prince obediently take the bait?"

"Concubine Yu—" Huangfuyan was a little annoyed, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he could only give her a vicious look.

"Have you had enough noise?" Lazily leaning on the chair, the emperor frowned, his face was serious and gloomy, and he looked at the three of them with a particularly sharp gaze, "If you haven't made enough noise, then continue. Now, I'm going to talk."

He has already said this, who dares to say it again?

The three of them immediately calmed down, lowered their heads, and put on a respectful look, but in their hearts, they had their own concerns.

Glancing at the three of them, when looking at Huangfuyan and Huangfuxi, the emperor's eyes obviously flashed a trace of unbearable, but when he thought of what they did, he immediately put away that trace of unbearable .

"I don't want to pursue this matter any further. Here, I just want to tell you first. I will make a decree to decide how to deal with you tomorrow morning! You just stay in peace!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at them any more, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, then turned and walked out of the cell.

"The emperor drives!"

"Congratulations to the emperor..."

The three of them bowed their heads to the ground, but they all felt a sense of desolation, rising from the bottom of their hearts, it was a feeling of despair.

Outside the cell, the emperor felt dizzy, light-headed, and had a strange feeling in his throat as soon as he walked out of the cell.

With a sudden cough, he raised his hand to cover his mouth, but immediately felt a sticky feeling sticking to his palm.

He moved his palm away, but he didn't let anyone see him, so he clenched his fist all of a sudden, pretending that nothing happened, and continued walking forward.

But the chief eunuch who was following him still saw a trace of blood oozing from his palm with sharp eyes, and his face immediately showed a shocked expression, but in the next second it turned into deep worry.

The emperor's body had already become weak due to the hard work of the war a few days ago, but now that something like this happened again, being so angry with the two princes and the jade concubine, the emperor's body was probably even worse.I don't know how long it will last.

***

The next day.

In the majestic and majestic Jinluan Hall, at the top position, the emperor glanced at the officials below with a serious face, cleared his throat and said, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to speak out, for fear that if they were not careful, the emperor would be displeased and themselves would be implicated.

On the night of the celebration banquet, everyone heard about the adultery between the eldest prince and the jade concubine on the second day. After hearing about this incident, everyone reacted in shock. No one thought that they were always easy-going Well, the gentle and elegant eldest prince would actually do such a mediocre thing.

Presumably this incident dealt a particularly heavy blow to the emperor, right?Now I heard again that it was the third prince who instigated Yubi to seduce the eldest prince behind the scenes.This is undoubtedly the best weapon to add fuel to the fire and make the emperor even more angry.

At this time, the emperor asked everyone how to deal with the three of them. Presumably the emperor had already made a decision in his heart. No matter what everyone said, the result would not change.But at this time, no one dared to speak up.

"Aren't all the loves talking?" Seeing that everyone was silent, the emperor said in a deep voice, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone.

There was another burst of looking at each other, and everyone shook their heads helplessly.

But suddenly, a tall figure stood up, bowed his hands to the emperor above, and said respectfully: "Father, my son feels that although the elder brother and the third child have done such things, it is because of them." For the sake of your son, father, please give me a lighter punishment."

"Sentence lightly?" With a cold snort, the emperor squinted at him, and said displeasedly, "Do you think they can be punished lightly for what they have done? If I don't punish them with death, it is already a great gift to them." !"

"Father..." Huangfuxuan was anxious for a while, looked up at the emperor, and hurriedly said, "Father, please think again!"

"Okay, you don't need to talk." The emperor interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said solemnly, "I have already decided that from now on, the eldest prince Huangfuyan and the third prince Huangfuxi will be demoted to ordinary people and imprisoned for life On Luoyan Island, no one is allowed to visit. The jade concubine does not obey women's morals, so I will give you a white silk."

"Your majesty is wise." All the officials shouted.

But everyone's tone contained a little helplessness and regret, feeling sad for the two imprisoned. .

As everyone lowered their heads together, Huangfu Yi couldn't help but frowned, with an indescribable complex feeling in his heart, but his eyes unconsciously shifted to Huangfu Xuan who was at the side, inadvertently, he saw his face A sneer curled up on the corner of his lips.

The deep and narrow phoenix eyes were suddenly stained with a layer of sharpness, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. He could only feel a wave of anger and resentment unconsciously rising in his chest.But reason told him that he must be calm at the moment.

No matter whether his guess is correct or not, it is useless.The emperor had ordered the three of them to be dealt with, so there was no room for maneuver.All he could do was to silently pray for his two elder brothers in his heart, praying that they could spend the rest of their lives safely on Luoyan Island.

"There is one more thing, I want to hear what the audience thinks about Aiqing." After a short silence, the emperor said again, which made the atmosphere even more tense and depressing, "After thinking about it, I think it is still necessary to establish a crown prince. Everyone How about your love?"

His words shocked everyone, even Huangfu Xuan was stunned, with a surprised expression on his face.

Huangfu Yi also raised his head to look at the emperor, frowning, his expression serious.He never expected that the emperor would propose the establishment of a prince at this time.Could it be the matter of the boss and the third child, which hit him too hard?

I thought that as long as the emperor did not set up a reserve for a day, his chances would be even greater, and he would have more time to look for jade pendants, but now, the emperor has proposed to set up a reserve, presumably he has already made a decision .

And the position of prince is absolutely impossible to be his.It has always been the rule of Cheyuan Kingdom to establish a reserve and a head.

Now it seems that he can only send Ye Yuan to find the whereabouts of Yu Pei.

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay again, everyone was talking in a low voice, everyone had a look of embarrassment on their faces, but they didn't dare to stand up and speak out.

After being silent for a while, Ling Yan stood up, lowered his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think that the matter of establishing a crown prince can be postponed for a while. Now that we have just finished the battle with the Sky Kingdom, it is time to reorganize When it comes time to strengthen the army, please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Prime Minister, you are worrying too much." The emperor waved his hand and said patiently, "There is no conflict between the appointment of a prince and the reorganization of troops. Moreover, if a prince is appointed, the prince can still handle these things for me. Why not?" Why not?"

"This..." Choking for a moment, Ling Yan didn't know what to say, so he backed away silently.

"Do you have any other opinions, my love?"

The meaning of the emperor is obvious, who dares to put forward different opinions?The emperor has decided to establish a reserve, and everyone can only follow his wishes.Even the Prime Minister's suggestion was rejected, who would dare to have a different voice?

As a result, the people who were silent at first expressed their agreement one after another, and shouted "The emperor is wise".

Satisfied with everyone's reaction, the emperor stroked his gray beard, and said with a smile: "Since all the lovers also feel that it is time to establish a crown prince, it is better to decide the candidate for the crown prince today."

These words, like a heavy bomb, exploded in the ears of Huangfu Yi and Huangfu Xuan in an instant, even Huangfu Yu, who had never been interested in the throne, looked at the emperor nervously.

"Since ancient times, our Cheyuan Kingdom has had a crown prince and a head. Now the eldest prince and the third prince have been demoted to common people. The eldest prince is the second prince." The emperor said, turning his gaze to Huangfuxuan, "Then, this The crown prince should belong to the second prince. What do you think?"

How dare everyone disagree?They all said all kinds of praiseworthy words, and Huangfuxuan was almost praised as "this person should only exist in the sky, so how few times will he be heard in the world".

"Then, I declare that from today onwards, the second prince will be the crown prince. The canonization ceremony will be held on another day."

"Emperor Shengming."

The sound of "Shengming" is that some people are happy and some are sad.

Huangfuxuan smiled very reservedly, but still couldn't hide his inner excitement.Huangfu Yi's face was calm, but in those deep phoenix eyes, there was a deep sense of unwillingness.

The emperor still smiled very "understanding the righteousness", but only he himself knew why he was in such a hurry to establish a reserve.

Just because he knew that his time was running out.If he doesn't set up a reserve immediately, he is afraid that there will be a bloodbath in the future.

But he seems to have forgotten, so what if it is stored immediately?Without a jade pendant, one is also not qualified to ascend to the throne.

This is also the rule left by the ancestors.
