Chapter 361 Capture the Prince
On the couch, Dongfang Xu looked at this pale little face, and slowly shifted his eyes to the slightly raised brocade quilt. If he hadn't arrived in time, he didn't know what would have happened.

Concubine Mei planned to kill them all, even the unborn child.Things have come to this, why should I be soft-hearted.

"It is said that Marquis Rongchang entered the palace."

Inside the study, Lord Changrong looked at the young man in front of him, with a faint black color under his deep eyes and a slight beard on his cheeks, which made him look more mature and vicissitudes.Today's prince is no longer the gentle and warm man in the past. From him, Marquis Chang Rong felt the aura of chilling and oppression. The hardships of these days will become a crucial part of the prince's life.

"Is there any news about County Lord Yongji?"

"The team of the Marquis of Changding encountered bandits on the border of Yi Kingdom, and there is no news of the little girl yet." Marquis Changrong guessed Dongfang Xu's intentions. Let them Changronghou Mansion be the next target of those people, but he understood from beginning to end that he was on the side of the prince.

"The prince's side concubine was attacked last night, and the other party wanted to kill the children of the palace."

Marquis Changrong frowned, isn't even Chen Kingdom's palace safe now?
"The Marquis of Changrong lived his life as a soldier. Tell me, what should I do now to stabilize this position. I don't want to listen to the majestic words of the Taifu and the others. I just want to ask Lord Hou. If you are Lord Hou, what would you do? ! "

This is also the reason why Dongfang Xu specially invited Marquis Changrong to enter the palace secretly. He felt that at this moment, the preaching of the Taifu and others could no longer help him recover from the predicament. correct opinion.

Yes, he has decided to abandon the benevolence of women.

Marquis Changrong's eyes flickered slightly, but he was silent for a moment.

"Master Hou, this hall only said once that this hall has never changed its mind for the Lord Yongji. When this hall clears the obstacles in the palace, it will definitely bring her back and allow her to be the queen. Lord Hou, this hall has always He treats you as the head of the state." Dongfang Xu just wanted to give Marquis Changrong a promise of peace of mind, so that he could do his best to assist him.

Sure enough, Marquis Changrong immediately pulled up his clothes and knelt down, "I am terrified, I shouldn't have said such rebellious words, but Your Highness loves me so much, even if I go through fire and water! The most important thing for Your Highness now It is to recognize one's enemy, and the enemy's fate! The call for the second prince is gradually increasing in the court, and the other party dares to attack His Highness's heirs, just to get rid of all those who threaten the throne. Why doesn't His Highness retaliate? The opponent has no leader?"

"You mean... you want to get rid of the second prince?"

Marquis Chang Rong raised his head, "The guards around the Second Prince are not indestructible, as long as His Highness is willing, he can catch the enemy by surprise at any time!"

Dongfang Xu took a deep breath, Marquis Changrong was not sure whether the prince had this determination, to ascend to the throne, he had to make sacrifices, and sometimes the ones sacrificed would be relatives they could not part with.

"This matter will be left to Lord Hou to handle it."

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

……

the other end.

Dongfang Rui walked towards the cold palace full of anger, and four men in black appeared not far away, holding two long sacks in their hands, and quickly brushed past Dongfang Rui, a gust of wind blew , then rolled up the thick smell of blood.

The door opened with a bang, and Dongfang Rui strode up to Concubine Mei, his hands in his sleeves trembling slightly, "Is the crown prince and side concubine dead?!"

The nanny at the side was startled, she was about to speak, but Concubine Mei had already smiled, "Although this time failed, there will be another time, Rui'er is not in a hurry."

She clearly knew that Dongfang Rui came to question her specially, but deliberately distorted his meaning, and the nuns at the side immediately understood that the empress did not want to conflict with the Second Highness.

"Yes, Your Highness, although I missed this time, there will be another time. It's all due to those two servants who failed to accomplish anything!" Her eyes were full of hints, hoping that Dongfang Rui would not act recklessly.

Dongfang Rui heaved his chest slightly, God knows how hard he was enduring it at this moment, and slowly lowered his head, "My son hopes that the concubine mother will let him know in advance, the taste of being used by others is enough to taste it once! "

"Use? What nonsense are you talking about? In this world, either you are used by others, or you use others. The mother concubine did this for you! Even if the prince is dead, so what, the one in the belly of the prince's side concubine The child is still qualified to inherit the throne, if you don’t kill the grass, you will be the one who will regret it in the future! Besides, you have softened your heart for the unborn child, how can the mother and concubine believe that you can kill the prince in the future?” I have already given him once. Opportunity, I didn't expect that he would not cherish it so much.

Dongfang Rui took a step back, he finally understood why he was so uncomfortable when facing Concubine Mei, without any sense of intimacy.

She and the queen are two kinds of people. One keeps teaching herself to be an upright person, while the other keeps trying to push herself on the path of injustice.Yes, he, Dongfang Rui, would never say that he is a good person, but he also has a bottom line that cannot be touched.

"where did you go?!"

Dongfang Rui stood still, but did not answer her.

"Now the crown prince no longer trusts you. For the sake of big things, you don't want to see him anymore!" This is also one of Concubine Mei's goals. Since Dongfang Rui can't bear to break with the crown prince completely, she can push him away. Now, build an insurmountable high wall between the two brothers, and completely turn them into enemies!
"The child has his own opinion!" Only leaving such a sentence, Dongfang Rui left Concubine Mei's sight without looking back.

"Look! Look! That's what he did to me!" Concubine Mei's beautiful face became distorted with anger, and the nanny hurried forward to help her, "Your Majesty, I want to change the second highness's mind." , and it’s not just a matter of one-and-a-half, the Second Highness has to bear the pressure from all sides in recent days, so it’s inevitable that he’s a little upset.”

"At this last moment, how can we allow him to be willful? No, I can't wait any longer! Someone..."

……

Brother Huang won't trust him anymore... Dongfang Rui kept repeating this sentence in his mind. Few things can make him so depressed. Wasn't it because of this inseparable brotherhood that he chose to come back? what?

But now... Who can he blame? It's all because of his own doubts that have brought about everything today.Others are afraid of him, the second prince who has a weird and unpredictable temper, but only the elder brother is the bottom line that he can't let others touch.

Yes, it was only now that Dongfang Rui understood what he really cared about.

Even now, he can see clearly that his mother and concubine's ambition that no one can restrain, I'm afraid she was not framed like she said back then, right?Even if it was, the empress mother treated him like her own child all these years, which made up for all this.

Dongfang Rui thought that if he was brought up by Concubine Mei, how could he have the opportunity to go out and see the vast world outside.He understands his mother's desire to possess and control that no one can resist.

At this moment, Dongfang Rui had never had such a clear feeling.His mother's meticulous care for him over the years is definitely not hypocritical.Even if there is more or less guilt in it, it is better than his mother and concubine.

She kept saying that everything was for herself, but Dongfang Rui knew that she was just a pawn to realize her ambition.

If she hadn't been her own flesh and blood, I'm afraid she would choose an obedient puppet to ascend the throne, or simply become queen herself.It's definitely not what she said, she is wholeheartedly for herself.

Unknowingly, Dongfang Rui walked to the empty palace, and he stopped slowly.

Everything here was eerily quiet, and he walked towards the house full of countless memories.For the past few days, he has been looking for the answer he wants here alone, and only this moment of solitude will give his originally tense and depressed nerves a chance to breathe.

Wait, has anyone been here before?

It was obvious to him that a few items had shifted.Dongfang Rui suddenly thought of something, and nervously searched around.It's gone, why it's gone... the hair-tying gift given to him by the empress mother.

In the dark, several figures quickly approached the room, but the nervous man inside didn't realize it.

At this time, the door slammed shut, Dongfang Rui woke up immediately, and drew out the long sword at his waist, "Who?!"

The windows in all directions opened suddenly, several athletic men in black jumped in and surrounded him all at once.

Dongfang Rui frowned, these strange faces did not look like the emperor's brother.Besides, the mother concubine should have sent someone to follow her.Just as he was thinking, a rope fell from the top of his head without warning, encircling Dongfang Rui's waist accurately and hanging him up, the hand holding the long sword could not be used, only a burst of whiteness was seen The smoke hit his face, and then the strong smell made him lose consciousness instantly. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he lowered his head powerlessly.

"Master Hou!"

A masked man in black stepped in, looked at Dongfang Rui who was hanging in the room, and said, "Hurry up!" Just now they dealt with those people in the dark, and I believe that soon, the empress in the cold palace will know what happened.

the other end.

Dongfang Xu sat quietly in front of the desk with a white wooden horse on it.

Marquis Changrong strode back, "Your Highness, the second prince has been captured and sent outside the city."

"Your Majesty is doing well."

"If it wasn't for His Highness's suggestion, I'm afraid I won't be able to find such a good opportunity." It was the crown prince who told him that there was such a palace and Dongfang Rui would go there alone, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would come so quickly.

At this moment, a mysterious person came from the Empress Dowager's palace. This person handed a letter into Dongfang Xu's hands, and then retreated silently.

Looking at the contents of the letter, Dongfang Xu took a deep breath, Concubine Mei had already made a move, and the time for a decisive victory had come.
