Chapter 359
Even Dongfang Rui was taken aback by his sudden thought.

It turned out that he didn't know when he started to miss the famous mountains and rivers he had walked through.No matter how luxurious this imperial palace is, it cannot compare with those magnificent and free scenery.He likes the majestic river, the green hills plunging into the clouds, and those wrestlers on the grassland who can't beat him no matter what.

Why did you come back in the first place?It seems... because of Brother Huang?

But now, he and the emperor's brother are like strangers. Since the emperor's grandmother came back from the palace, they have a very tacit agreement not to meet again.He always remembered what Dongfang Xu said at that time, and he would never give up.

Has Brother Huang decided to fight himself to the end?But Dongfang Rui didn't know at this time, what kind of ending would this road come to an end, would it be the ending he wanted to see?
A familiar breath came from behind, and Dongfang Rui's eyes turned cold.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is here to invite you."

In the cold palace.

The beautiful woman's face became more and more rosy, and those who didn't know it would think that Concubine Mei's legs were already healed, because all she saw on her face was a happy and contented smile.

"Rui'er, why don't you come to my concubine these days?"

Looking at the young man who was brought in, Concubine Mei smiled lovingly.

Dongfang Rui came to her side quietly, "I just don't want to disturb the concubine mother."

"You child, why bother you? You are still free now, and later... you just want to be with my concubine, but my concubine won't agree!" Concubine Mei said with deep meaning, and the ugly nurse beside her echoed, "That's right, when the time comes, His Highness will take care of everything, so how can you still have time to accompany your empress?"

Their tone was full of confidence in victory, but Dongfang Rui found that he couldn't feel any joy.

At that time, Concubine Mei once asked him if he wanted the throne.But now, Dongfang Rui suddenly felt that everything was so boring.What exactly does he want?If you want to beat brother Huang, then what?Then what can he get?
"Rui'er." Concubine Mei suddenly calmed down, and looked up at the expressionless Dongfang Rui.

The other party came back to his senses and restrained his expression.

"You have something on your mind?"

"...The child is just a little tired."

tired?Well, according to the spies, His Highness the Second Highness has been busy communicating with the ministers these few days, and has attracted many people. This is indeed a bit hard for Dongfang Rui, who is not yet stable.Concubine Mei's eyes immediately showed a bit of tenderness, "It will be better in a few days, and besides, Concubine Mother has something for you to do."

For some reason, a sense of uneasiness rose in Dongfang Rui's heart.

"Tomorrow, you invite the prince to the garden of Chengqing Palace to negotiate with him."

"negotiation?"

Concubine Mei raised her eyebrows slightly, with endless smiles in her eyes, "Yeah, it's time to make a break. It's not good for us to keep procrastinating like this. Concubine Mu will teach you, negotiate with him and let him Give up the position of prince, and promise to keep him and the queen safe. As long as you hold him back, you can say whatever you want."

"Mother Concubine...what are you going to do?"

"Why, you can't make this move?" Concubine Mei's tone suddenly turned cold. What she was most worried about was that Dongfang Rui would soften her heart.

"Didn't the concubine mother promise the child that she would leave the crown prince to the child?"

"Of course, when my concubine ever lied to you, she would definitely leave the prince's life to you...well, remember, it's tomorrow!" Concubine Mei didn't say anything more, she gave a look with her eyes, and the nurse next to her stepped forward Come, put a blanket over her.

Seeing this, I don't want to talk to him anymore.Dongfang Rui knew Concubine Mei's temperament, if he asked more questions at this time, he might anger her.

Tomorrow?I'm afraid that after tomorrow, there will no longer be any brotherhood between him and the emperor's brother, right?

Coming out of the cold palace, Dongfang Rui went all the way to the palace that Wu Huiyun had discovered before, pushed open the familiar door, and he went straight in and sat at the table, as if only here could calm his mind down.

The air is the smell he likes, simple and real.And these memories are already more important than anything else to Dongfang Rui.In fact, he already knew his answer, didn't he?
"Your Highness, you can't go!"

A letter from the second emperor's womb, asking Dongfang Xu to meet at Chengqing Palace tomorrow, saying that they have important matters to discuss.

Looking at the familiar handwriting on it, Dongfang Xu's mouth showed a smile with a deep meaning, obviously in the same palace, between him and the imperial brother, this piece of thin paper is actually needed to communicate. ?
"Your Highness, this must be the second prince's conspiracy, please think twice, Your Highness!"

"This hall naturally knows." Dongfang Xu put away the letter. At this time, the shadow sent to monitor Dongfang Rui returned.

"Your Highness, after the Second Highness came out of the cold palace, he went to a place."

Standing in front of this strange palace, Dongfang Xu frowned slightly, a fragment seemed to flash in his mind, but he couldn't remember it clearly.

Stepping in quietly, this palace is uninhabited, but there are palace people to clean it on weekdays.The shadow ahead led Dongfang Xu to a room, "Your Highness, this is here."

"You wait outside."

Gently pushing open the door, Dongfang Xu's eyes lighted up at the clean and spacious room.

Compared with other luxurious palaces, the furnishings here are so simple.There are ordinary mahogany tables and chairs everywhere, but there are some old things piled up in every corner.

This is……

Dongfang Xu's gaze stayed on a white wooden horse, and his pupils shrank instantly. He reached out hesitantly to pick up this gadget, and measured it carefully.

"Brother Huang, this is a birthday present that Brother Huang personally made for you, do you like it?!" There was a bang in my head, and the clip jumped out clearly.

Dongfang Xu's expression changed, and he looked at other things.

Here...the things piled up here are all things they played with when they were young!So many... He treasured every birthday present?And every time he begged for small objects from himself...

Dongfang Xu only felt that his heart was being pulled fiercely. He heard from Yingying that the second prince came to this room for a long time before leaving. Unexpectedly, he actually...

Damn it!Why now, let yourself see these things? !He remembered that this place was the secret palace where he and Dongfang Rui played when they were children.They were brought up in the queen's palace, and the rules were much more than other princes. The two of them often secretly came to this unmanned palace to play, and brought these things they liked.At that time... At that time, their relationship was really good...

"Your Highness?" A worried whisper came from the shadow outside.

After a long time, Dongfang Xu finally came out, but his face was a little ugly.

Immediately, a shadow greeted him, but Dongfang Xu shook his head slightly, "It's okay, get ready. Tomorrow, our hall will go to an appointment."

What? ! "Your Highness..."

……

In the garden behind Chengqing Palace.

In the gazebo, on the white stone table are a chessboard, a cup of hot tea, and two white jade porcelain cups.

At some point, the handsome man stood in front of him, took off his robe and sat down.Dongfang Rui continued with his movements, "Brother Huang, drink a cup of tea to warm up your body."

Dongfang Xu's eyes stayed on the light yellow tea, his eyes flickered slightly, he stretched out his hand to pick it up, and drank it.

"I didn't expect that Brother Huang still came."

Dongfang Rui watched the opponent's movements, and after a long time, he uttered such a sentence with no deep meaning.

"Want to play chess with Brother Huang?" Dongfang Xu deliberately ignored his words, and looked at the chessboard with a chuckle.

"This time, I hope that the emperor will not let the emperor." Dongfang Rui was the first to pick up a son and let it fall.The voice is crisp and sweet.

There was a strange atmosphere between the two, and the surrounding was so quiet that the sound of the wind could be heard.

"Brother Huang, if I keep you and the queen mother safe, are you willing to leave here?" Dongfang Rui dropped a son.

"Sometimes, people don't live just to live."

"Knowing that this move will sacrifice the white pieces inside, why is the emperor still so confident?" Dongfang Rui looked at the surrounded white pieces on the chessboard.

"Sacrifice is inevitable. Doesn't the emperor know this truth?"

Dongfang Rui raised his eyes, and the man opposite him looked at him calmly.At this moment, Dongfang Rui felt that what separated the two was not a chessboard, but a mountain.

"Brother Huang, you have changed."

"What about the emperor, do you feel that you have changed?" Dongfang Xu stared closely at the other party's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from the boss.

Dongfang Rui slowly clenched the hands in his sleeves. It has to be said that at this moment he was facing the emperor so calmly, his heart was indeed a little guilty.Does Brother Huang feel that he has betrayed him and his mother?Have you regretted that you had to be so nice to yourself back then...

"The queen mother...is she better?"

"Why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Dongfang Xu's words were like several knives, constantly cutting Dongfang Rui's heart.

"...Empress Mother, I'm afraid she won't want to see me." He slowly lowered his head. After Empress Chen woke up, Dongfang Rui never stepped into the Phoenix Hall.He didn't know how he would face Empress Chen, because he couldn't say that he really had a clear conscience.

When Concubine Mei was about to attack, he faintly felt it, but...he didn't remind Empress Chen.

"You are the one who suspects the empress, not the empress who suspects you." Dongfang Xu softly threw out such a sentence, and Dongfang Rui was startled.Afterwards, a wry smile appeared on his face, "Yes, I was the one who suspected the queen mother first."

Looking at the chessboard on the table, Bai Zi is gradually at a disadvantage.

"Then the emperor is willing to give the emperor a chance to forgive his sins."

At this time, Dongfang Xu held Bai Zi's hand for a short pause, and did not make any further moves.

He raised his eyes in doubt, Dongfang Xu's eyes were full of disappointment, which made Dongfang Rui frown, brother Huang disappointed in him?
"Why don't you explain? You just need to defend yourself, Brother Huang..." No, would I really believe him?Dongfang Xu couldn't guarantee it.However, Dongfang Rui's expression at this time made Dongfang Xu's heart gradually freeze.

He really doesn't seem innocent.

"I don't ask the emperor's forgiveness...I just hope that the emperor will live."

At this moment, Dongfang Xu seemed to hear a crack in his heart.
