"When my father dispatched me to the mausoleum, I came with me and a few of my personal attendants. My father said, I am here, they are here, and if I die, they must die too, but how long has it been? These attendants died before me. The eunuchs in the palace sent food here, and they died after eating. So I dare not eat any more. Later, they simply didn’t reward me. Go hunting and cook by yourself, if I can’t hunt anything, I’ll be hungry day by day.” Guo Cong’s hands were firmly on Concubine Mei’s coffin: “I’m still young and I can still hunt, if one day I’m old , I can’t walk anymore, I can’t hunt any more, how can I live? My father wants this life, and I’m afraid of being infamous by the butcher.”

What Guo Cong said seems to make sense.

Is he so downcast.Since I have no food and clothing, I don't have the energy to burn incense for Concubine Mei Gui.

The underground tomb is terrifyingly large, and the stone gates are three or four feet wide.

When people speak in the mausoleum, their voices echo, just like speaking in the valley.

"I can't sit still, so I let my uncle kidnap you. After all, my uncle's power has also been taken away a little bit. Now we can rely on you. You hold the power, and you still have a lot of power with the emperor." Serious."

"You want me to tell your father to let you go back?"

"Others have no chance to intercede for me in front of the emperor." Guo Cong begged a little: "The emperor always wants to give you some face, for the sake of me being cousin Mei Jing, please help me to say something, I have also seen through it. The throne is not for me. Whether my father is willing to pass it on to the lame man, the blind man, or Lu Yu, who has a bad background, I don’t even care about it. Delegate me to become a commoner, I just want to go out, I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life."

Guo Cong spoke earnestly.

"I'll speak for you." Xiang Guoxin agreed.

Not for Mei Jing.

He just thought of Guo Li.

Guo Li and Guo Cong are brothers and sisters, and they are six points similar in appearance.

His thoughts drifted to the endless frontier grassland, and then back to the empty tomb that smelled musty.

Go to the study.

Lu Yu was already able to stand alone.

In the past few days when he was established as the prince, he has been conscientious and conscientious.

He is not a hardworking person, but if he makes a slight mistake, Mrs. Zhuang will be implicated in Moon Shadow Palace.

If the emperor punished him directly, maybe he would feel better.

But the emperor punished the Zhuang family, and Lu Yu couldn't bear it.

On the night when Lu Zhan was killed, Lu Yu secretly climbed over the wall to meet Mrs. Zhuang in Moon Shadow Palace. The hurried meeting, Lu Yu clenched his fists with tears in his eyes.

At that moment, he thought that he would finish with Guo Zhengchan, even if it cost his life.

He is an imperial doctor, and there are a thousand ways to make Guo Zhengchan die.

However, Mrs. Zhuang stopped him: "He is your father after all. He is your biological father. If you kill him, how will you face your own heart and how will mother face you for the rest of your life? , so what?"

Yes.

He is the biological father.

Now that the south is unstable, the frontier fortress has just been cleared, and several feudal lords are ready to move. If Lu Yu kills the emperor, then various soldiers and horses can attack Qingcheng in the name of strangling the rebels.

At that time, the victims will still be thousands of people.

Li Min is innocent.

Lu Yu finally endured it.

It's just that he is not close to women, and suffers hard in the study every day.

He is talented and intelligent, and he was taught by Xuan Guo's famous teacher.
Pointing, and soon by leaps and bounds.

This summer, the rain was heavy and the embankment was washed away. Lu Yu sent people to fight the flood while repairing the embankment, and comforted the people to open warehouses for disaster relief.

During the winter of this year, heavy snow crushed the houses in Luocheng, and hundreds of people died. Lu Yu personally supervised the construction and distributed the winter silver to appease the common people.

A vassal king was dishonest in the fief, so the spies went to investigate and said that the vassal king was lustful. Lu Yu immediately bought two oirans in the brothel and sent them over. With the price of ransom for the oirans, he successfully subdued the vassal king and returned them to the vassal. Two eyeliners were placed beside Wang.

Palace affairs, everything is trivial, and it is easy to handle. I am afraid that even the emperor will feel ashamed.

Lu Yu's shadow can be seen everywhere in the study room and the military aircraft office.

"Heaven wants to rejuvenate me and declare the country." The emperor also praised him.While praising, he stroked Lu Yu's hand, very concerned and proud.

Lu Yu withdrew his hand.

A foggy day.

The dense fog is like insoluble ink.

Xiang Guoxin came to Zhengen Hall to ask to see the emperor.

Eunuch Baxi hesitated to speak, but said that the emperor had a headache and heartache recently, and that he was not in Zhengen Hall.

Pounced empty.

Xiang Guoxin walked back along the palace road, and in the misty mist, a majestic palace roof suddenly appeared, with yellow glazed tiles looming.

It is Chenghuan Hall.

Suddenly remembered that Guo Li once confessed that Chenghuan Hall is the palace of her mother, Concubine Mei Gui, if Xiangguo is free, please stop there.

Xiang Guoxin decided to stand for her.

The vermilion lacquer gate of Chenghuan Hall was tightly closed.

Without the lord of the first palace, the palace also fell into disrepair, and the servants were all assigned to other places. The whole Chenghuan Palace seemed a bit lonely, and there was not even a maid who cleaned the palace road.

The thick fog dispersed, making it even more desolate.

Xiang Guoxin stood for a while, turned around to leave the palace, but suddenly saw thick smoke floating out of Chenghuan Hall.

The smoke is strange.

He thought it was on fire, and was about to call for firefighting, but he smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine wafting from the temple.

Someone secretly boiled traditional Chinese medicine in Chenghuan Palace.

"Drink this bowl of medicine. Tell me, will my insomnia problem get better at night?" It was the emperor's voice.

The emperor was actually in Chenghuan Palace.

"If it's still not good, I'll just continue cooking for you." It was Lu Yu's voice.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless. When my father and grandfather were around, they also took the golden elixir for longevity. I didn't take the golden elixir. I just wanted to cure my illness."

"Don't let those brothers donate blood in the future. I am healthy. If I want blood, I will use mine." Lu Yu's voice was a little weak.

"Because the mage in the palace has already seen it for me. My illness can only be cured by using the prince's blood as medicine." The emperor sighed.

"The ninth prince, Guo Wei, has bad legs and a weak body. Your Majesty, don't use his blood anymore. You should use my blood in the future."

The emperor patted Lu Yu's shoulder: "I often can't sleep well, and I don't know why, but my mind is buzzing when I wake up."

"Back then, the emperor killed the first emperor Chengzhao. I'm afraid he couldn't sleep well because he felt ashamed."

The emperor's expression changed immediately: "Don't just talk nonsense just because you are the prince."

"Isn't that the case? Back then, the emperor wanted to kill Emperor Chengzhao, but he was afraid of being infamous through the ages, so he used my mother, a weak woman. This country was also stolen by the emperor. It's not surprising that he can't sleep now."

Xiangguo's heart was pounding.

Hearing a "squeak" from the second door, as if someone was about to come out, Xiang Guoxin hurriedly jumped on the wall and ran into the next palace to dodge.

Xiangyan brought Guo Fenyi into the palace to greet Concubine He, Guo Fenyi ran and jumped to this remote place.

With a sound of "Plop", Guo Fenyi fell to the door of Chenghuan Hall, and cried aggrievedly.

"Who is it?" The emperor was alert.

Xiang Yan was also taken aback.

How could there be the voice of the emperor speaking in the originally empty Chenghuan Hall.

As soon as she picked up the child, the emperor pushed open the gate of Cheng Huan Hall, seeing that Xiangyan was about to leave, he said, "Who is it?"

Xiangyan quickly knelt down.

Guo Fenyi quickly knelt down too.

"Quickly salute the emperor." Xiang Yan pressed Guo Fenyi's neck.

Guo Fenyi didn't know what to salute or not to salute, she just knelt down and cried.

"What are you doing in the palace?" The emperor was wary.

"I'm going to Heyiyuan." Xiangyan was interrupted by the emperor before she finished speaking, "What did you hear just now?"

"I didn't hear anything."

Xiang Yan did not lie.

She really didn't hear anything.

The emperor was dubious, staring at Xiangyan without saying a word. After a long time, he let their mother and son out of the palace. Before Fang Xiangyan left, he said: "You better rot in your stomach what happened today. One word leaked out. , I will let you die."

Xiangyan was so shocked that she was sweating, she didn't dare to go directly to the palace, so she went to Xiang's house to cry.

Speaking of the emperor's words, Tang Xiaoniang also felt shocked: "Since the emperor said so, then you must have heard something confidential."

"I didn't hear, not a word."

Xiangyan's apprehension made Tang Xiaoniang also afraid, and the mother and daughter hurriedly went to the small Buddhist hall to offer incense to their ancestors.

The two of them never came to the small Buddhist hall.

But today he lit incense sincerely, knelt down in the small Buddhist hall and muttered silently.

Guo Fenyi was still young, jumping up and down in the small Buddhist hall, touching the memorial tablet and the incense burner for a while.

Suddenly, Guo Fenyi kicked his feet, jumped forward, knocked down the ancestral tablet, the tablet fell backwards, and jumped out of a hidden space.

"Why are you so careless, kid? If you offend your ancestors." Xiang Yan went up to grab Guo Fenyi, but saw the tablet in the dark grid.

She was taken aback.

Hurry up and call Tang Xiaoniang: "Mother, look at Angeli, our house also enshrines Emperor Chengzhao and a tablet called Xiang Suixin."

Tang Xiaoniang was also taken aback.

But she suddenly figured out something, quickly closed the secret compartment, put away the ancestral tablet again, pulled Xiangyan up and left the small Buddhist hall.

In the vestibule.

Xiang Guoxin sat side by side with Xiang Daying.

No one drank the tea served by the old woman.

Since returning home, Xiang Guoxin's face has been gloomy.

Xiang Daying didn't understand what happened.

"Father, am I the child of Emperor Cheng Zhao?" Xiang Guoxin pressed the corner of the table, and the knuckles of his fingers turned white.

"Why are you asking this?"

"I am the child of Emperor Chengzhao. Guo Zhengchan killed Emperor Chengzhao for the sake of the throne." Xiang Guoxin paused every word.

Xiang Daying stood up vigorously.

He never thought that one day Xiang Guoxin would know this.

"Where did you hear nonsense, don't talk nonsense." Xiang Daying wanted to cover his mouth.

"I heard it in the palace. Naturally, the news is true." Xiang Guo threw himself at Xiang Daying's feet, "Thank you for your father's kindness in nurturing, but Emperor Chengzhao died wronged, as a son, he has to avenge him. "

Xiang Daying quickly closed the door.

When Emperor Chengzhao died on the couch, Xiang Daying rescued his son from the palace.

When Emperor Chengzhao died, he didn't think about anyone avenging him. He only wanted his son to live on, even if he was an ordinary person.

But Xiang Guoxin obviously didn't think so.

"The past is finally the past, don't mention it again, isn't it great that the country is safe and peaceful now?" Xiang Daying patted Xiang Guoxin on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.

Xiangguo sat blankly, not speaking for a long time.

Since then, Xiang Guoxin often went to see Guo Cong, and most of the time, he brought a jar of wine, and he and Guo Cong sat face to face to drink.

"If my father drinks the prince's blood, forget it, I'll guard the tomb, otherwise he will drink up my blood in a few days when he returns to Qingcheng." Question: "I thought Lu Yushi used some means to sit on the crown prince. It turned out that he donated blood to the emperor. The emperor is really getting more and more monsters."

Xiang Guoxin looked up at the spacious mausoleum: "Do you want revenge?"

"Ok?"

"I asked you if you want revenge?"

"Aren't you joking?" Guo Cong laughed at himself: "What is my status now? Although I am a prince, I don't have a single soldier or horse under my command. I'm almost like a prisoner. How can I get revenge?"

"I said that if you have soldiers and horses, you will have soldiers and horses. Do it with me." Xiangguo respected Guo Cong with a bowl of wine.

Thinking that there will be no sky in the mausoleum, sooner or later he will die, so it is better to vote.

In the palace back then, Guo Cong was also a passionate young man.

The two discussed carefully, and Guo Cong wished he could kneel down and kowtow to Xiang Guoxin: "If one day you fight back to the palace, I will become the emperor. Don't worry, I will protect your glory and wealth for the rest of your life."

Xiangguo didn't want any glory and wealth, he wanted Guo Zhengchan to die.

Xiang Guoxin always went out, went out early, and came back very late, Mei Jing was worried, and secretly followed behind, this time, he followed into the mausoleum.

Guo Cong was already drunk.

Mei Jing pinched his nose and shook Guo Cong, Guo Cong narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Xiang, why are you wearing women's clothes?"

"Cousin, I'm Mei Jing."

"What well? Well, I don't care about the well now, I have to get a good night's sleep. In the future, Mr. Xiang and I will do great things together."

"What's the big deal?"

"Kill the emperor and make me the emperor."

Mei Jing was taken aback, and didn't dare to shake Guo Cong anymore, good guy, I want to kill the emperor, this crime of regicide is enough to punish nine clans.

Don't dare to provoke.

Mei Jing returned to Xiang's house in a daze.

Because it was Guo Cong's drunken words, Mei Jing endured it for more than half a month. One night, she wanted to make out with Xiang Guoxin, but Xiang Guoxin didn't respond, so Mei Jing fell on the bed and began to cry, regardless of whether the maid was there. Absence: "Master Xiang is now so bold that he dares to instigate my cousin to kill the king and father. When the time comes, our nine clans will be wiped out. You will kill everyone, Mr. Xiang."

Xiang Guoxin quickly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense. This is what my cousin told me personally. My cousin said that you still have to train soldiers in the tomb. You took the map of the palace and waited for a good time to attack."

Xiangguo's heart turned pale: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will divorce you and go back to Mei's house."

"Dare to divorce me if you're capable. I'll tell your sister right away."

Mei Jing pushed open the door, just in time to see a black figure jumping out from the corridor.

"Who?"

No one spoke.

The flower pot on the windowsill fell to the ground and broke.

"The wind is too strong." The maid replied.

Mei Jing wiped away her tears and asked the maid to prepare the carriage.

Tang Xiaoniang huddled in the flowers at the foot of the house, not daring to move, until Mei Jing was far away, Tang Xiaoniang stood up from the flowers and went to the small Buddha hall.
