Chapter 365
"Your Highness, cut the weeds and get rid of the roots..." Marquis Changrong came to Dongfang Xu's side, fixed his gaze on the wide-eyed Concubine Mei who was strangely silent on the ground, for fear that she would make any moves.

There was a little twinkle in Dongfang Xu's eyes, and he slowly looked towards the inner hall, which was already covered by countless corpses, and he couldn't see the direction of the figure.

"Take her to the queen mother's palace. This hall wants her to kneel in front of the queen mother!"

At this time, a gust of wind suddenly came, and a thick white smoke filled the air instantly. Marquis Changrong was shocked, why, there are still dead men alive? ! "Escort!"

Everyone raised their vigilance again, but when they cleared the thick fog, there was no one in front of them. What happened to the smoke?

"Concubine Mei?"

Dongfang Xu was the first to notice the strangeness. Concubine Mei, who was originally lifeless on the ground, also disappeared along with the thick smoke.

Today's bloody battle above the court, I'm afraid it will become the nightmare of every minister in this life.

"Your Highness, there are a total of nine adults who were killed or injured. The imperial army and the guards of the Eastern Palace suffered heavy casualties..." Dongfang Xu looked at the messy hall in front of him, but he didn't feel much joy of victory in his heart. The real dragon hall is killing people, right?

"did you find it?"

Dongfang Xu's eyes fell on the pile of corpses.A guard raised his head, "I found it! I found the Second Highness!"

Everyone worked together and finally dragged out the scorched body and laid it flat in front of Dongfang Xu.

"Your Highness, don't look at it." Marquis Changrong grabbed Dongfang Xu's arm, he just felt that the matter had come to an end, and His Highness was just trying to add trouble.

Dongfang Xu raised his eyes, his deep eyes were accompanied by endless silence, Chang Ronghou gradually let go of his hand, he suddenly lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down.

Dongfang Xu didn't speak, but went straight to the corpse, and slowly squatted down.

At this time, no one dared to disturb him, and everyone quietly retreated to the side, looking at Dongfang Xu's indescribable expression.

After a long time, he slowly stretched out his hand, took out something from his sleeve, and put it in the arms of the corpse.

……

Inside the Phoenix Hall.

Empress Chen, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by a gust of cold wind. She endured the severe pain and slowly sat up straight. Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, a strange feeling came to her heart.

"come..."

"Your Majesty, this servant is here!" Immediately, a court lady trotted in and stood beside Empress Chen nervously.

"Where is the prince?" Empress Chen frowned lightly, she didn't know where the anxiety in her heart came from.

"The slave does not know."

At this time, the silent figure appeared outside, Empress Chen restrained her expression, "Prince, what happened outside?"

Dongfang Xu stepped in slowly, signaled with a look, and the court lady backed away.

He unhurriedly tucked up the quilt for the empress, and the expression on his face made empress Chen even more frightened, "What happened?"

Dongfang Xu just looked at the haggard face in front of him, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth, "Mother, the emperor is dead."

The surroundings immediately fell into a moment of silence, Empress Chen opened her mouth slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word.

"Mother, the emperor's younger brother is dead." He repeated it again.

Seeing that Empress Chen's eyes were slowly turning red, she felt that something was blocking her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe, and Dongfang Rui's mischievous appearance when she was a child immediately appeared in her mind. "he died?"

Dongfang Rui didn't answer, but lowered his eyes slightly, showing no expression.

"Hehe, a good death, a good death, a good death..." Empress Chen repeated these three words, and tears had already flowed down her cheeks unconsciously. She slowly turned her head and stared at him closely. Dongfang Xu's face said, "Rui'er, it's not your fault... yes, it's the queen mother's fault... If, at that time, he said he wanted to come back and the queen mother disagreed, all of this... wouldn't have happened, wouldn't have happened It's..."

Letting the queen hold his hand so tightly, Dongfang Xu stood up slowly, "Queen, it's time to rest."

The queen raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her who seemed to have matured a lot in a day, "Well, I will leave the rest of the matter to you..." She already understood that all the wind and rain finally passed, the dead are dead, And those who live must continue to live.

Marquis Changrong stood guard outside, and after waiting for a long time, Dongfang Xu finally came out silently.

"Your Highness, I have made arrangements to give His Royal Highness a grand burial." He understood what Dongfang Rui meant to the crown prince, and this time, he was also thinking about the overall situation.

Concubine Mei undoubtedly wanted to control the second prince as a puppet, so as long as the second prince was killed, the turmoil in the imperial court could be calmed down. Would those people still find another prince to support them?
Dongfang Xu's eyes moved slightly, "Well, the scenery is hidden."

"Sir, let's do it."

"Wait a minute."

Marquis Changrong stopped immediately, and Dongfang Xu slowly turned his face, "Let me, the emperor brother, put on the shroud for him."

"...I understand."

In the unoccupied mourning hall, Dongfang Xu had already changed into white clothes, and he slowly approached the body placed in the center, his indifferent expression made people dare not approach.

This body has been washed by someone, but it is still too embarrassing to see its original appearance.The grand duke held up a gorgeous shroud with a solemn face, "Your Highness, this is the second His Highness's favorite color."

Dongfang Xu didn't move his eyes, he stretched out his hand to take the shroud, and gestured for him to back down.

There was some hesitation in the father-in-law's eyes, and then he quietly stepped back with a sigh.

Walking slowly to the side of the body, Dongfang Xu looked at the white wooden horse placed aside, and said lightly, "Imperial Brother, do you blame Brother?"

His voice was the only one in the mourning hall, and the man smiled helplessly, "Surely, under the nine springs, you will not forgive brother Huang." Witness such a picture.

It turns out that this feeling is called life and death.

He is an incompetent emperor brother, and they were all arguing in the last scene.

"This is the last thing Brother Huang can do for you." Dongfang Xu moved his fingers, and he slowly raised his body. When his hands touched the rough skin, his brows frowned instantly.

Afterwards, he turned the whole body over suspiciously, and stared at the black back for a long time.

His eyes flickered slightly, then as if nothing had happened, he quietly put on clothes for this body.

……

The next day, the second prince was buried with a grand ceremony, but people outside the palace did not know that just yesterday, an earth-shattering event happened in the court.

There was a serious atmosphere in the street, and above the funeral procession, countless money floated.

The crowd was shaking, but no one noticed the two sneaky figures.

"Looking at the funeral procession of your own incomparable beauty, how does it feel?"

"Besides, this prince killed you!"

The man smiled faintly, pulled up his cloak and sank into the dark alley.

The one who followed was none other than Dongfang Rui, who was going to the funeral today.

"The second prince doesn't want to take revenge?" And the person in front was Lan Xiangliang who was supposed to be on standby in the palace.

The two quickly walked into a deserted forest, and Lan Xiangliang gradually fell behind Dongfang Rui.His hand slowly reached into his sleeve, holding the sharp dagger.

"If you move again, believe it or not, this prince will abolish you immediately?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Second Highness is already dead, shouldn't this temper change?" Lan Xiangliang smiled without the slightest fear in his eyes.

The man in front finally stopped and turned around, "You haven't said the purpose of saving the prince."

Dongfang Rui vigilantly watched every move of the person in front of him, "Could it be that Emperor Xiao sent you here?"

"Exactly!"

"lie!"

"...Since the Second Highness doesn't believe it, why bother to ask me? I'm just following orders."

"Answering so directly is not lying. Besides, Xiao Huang is not that kind." Dongfang Rui raised his head proudly, very confident in his guess.

"Your majesty's good intentions are in vain. If your majesty doesn't believe me, why don't you come with me to see your majesty? Maybe your majesty is willing to avenge Concubine Mei?" Lan Xiangliang's eyes were bright, and Dongfang Rui suddenly pulled out his waistband. The long sword attacked him without warning.

There was a buzzing sound, and a silver light flashed. Lan Xiangliang dangerously blocked the opponent's attack with his dagger, and smiled coldly, "Your Highness, are you going to cross the river and demolish the bridge?"

"My prince has never asked you to help me!" He quickly put away the long sword and put it into the scabbard, then turned around, "Don't follow me anymore, otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"..." I have to say, if it is head-to-head, I may not be this person's opponent.Lan Xiangliang snorted coldly in his heart, what a waste of effort!
He originally wanted to use this person to blackmail Concubine Mei after saving Dongfang Rui. Lan Xiangliang had confidence in himself and would be able to persuade Concubine Mei to deal with Xiao Huang together, but he never thought that that woman would fail!Can I still ask for the cooperation of a dead person?

Now that Concubine Mei is dead, Dongfang Rui has no use value, now he can only return to the Chen Kingdom Palace, wait for the news of Emperor Xiao, and think of a way to win over his allies.

I don't know what happened to the woman in Yi Kingdom Palace, maybe she was killed by Emperor Xiao, right?

Lan Xiangliang smiled, never thought that at this moment, he would still be thinking about that person's life and death.

Perhaps, compared to this Concubine Mei, the Yongji County Lord is much more reliable.

……

outside the mausoleum.

Dongfang Xu looked at the white tombstone, and the cold wind was blowing at the corner of his clothes. After a long time, he turned around slowly, "Go back to the palace."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Marquis Changrong noticed, however, that there was a white wooden horse lying quietly under the tombstone.A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, is it because of this that His Highness took the risk of leaving the palace in disguise?
It wasn't until the team left the hill that a tall and straight figure slowly appeared. Looking at the tombstone with his name engraved on it, Dongfang Rui felt a little ridiculous.

Did Brother Huang really think he was dead?
He turned around, and from here he could clearly see the departing procession.

Silently putting the quiet wooden horse into his arms, Dongfang Rui had a bit of nostalgia in his eyes. From now on, there will be no second prince in this world.It turned out that this is what he wanted, this free world...
