When Yuan Gao woke up again, he was already in the imperial dining room of the Sunset Palace.

Burning the stove in the imperial dining room is what Yuan Gao must do every day.

"Hurry up, make the fire brighter, hurry up." The scolding eunuch kicked Yuan Gao violently. Yuan Gao did not expect the sudden kick, and his face turned towards the stove mouth.

The scorching temperature reminded Yuan Gao of the burning stand. Yuan Gao let out a panicked cry and stood up suddenly. His face was stained with black ash, and his hair in front was curled by the heat of the fire.

Seeing Yuan Gao in a hurry, everyone burst into laughter.

The sharp laughter from the crowd reminded Yuan Gao where he was at this time. The sharp laughter from the crowd impacted Yuan Gao's self-esteem and his cognition.

"Why are you standing here? Why don't you hurry up and light the fire?"

Any humiliation, unwillingness, and anger were suppressed, and Yuan Gao just sat down and lit the fire silently, as if nothing had happened. He knew that his resistance would have no results, and all he would get would be lessons over and over again. and surrender.

The just and kind-hearted Yuan Gao passed away little by little.

The hanging flowers are in bloom, under the hanging flower tree.

Yuan Gao cleaned the petals scattered on the ground.

"Can you give me this flower?"

What caught my eye was a beautiful woman wearing dark washed faded clothes.

Yuan Gao looked at the woman in front of him and nodded.

The woman thanked her and happily took the flowers away.

In the following time, the woman will always take the sweet-scented osmanthus from Yuan Gao.

"Come on, come on, let's see if she is stupid enough to bury the flowers."

"Yes."

The crowd laughed.

The woman didn't care.

"Okay, you, born of a slave, how dare you ignore this princess?"

The women taught the woman who buried the flowers a lesson.

Everyone left when the woman stopped resisting.

The woman who was beaten to the ground got up strong, wiped the dust off her body, and continued to bury the hanging flowers.

Witnessing this scene, Yuan Gao's hope in his heart was touched, and he seemed to see himself through her, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Afterwards, Yuan Gao would wrap up the withered hanging flowers in advance and hand them over when the woman came.

The woman has never seen a person who can be so deeply touched in her heart.

To be respected, to be cared about, to be understood, to be cared for, to be a confidant...

Under the hanging flower tree, the sweet-scented osmanthus gradually withers.

"Yuan Gao? Your name is Yuan Gao, right?"

The woman's beautiful face appeared in front of Yuan Gao and asked in a brisk voice.

Yuan Gao nodded.

"Thank you for always giving the hanging flowers to me." the woman said.

Yuan Gao was dumbfounded by the woman's thanks.

"I am Luojiu, the ninth in the ranking. My mother-in-law is just a slave and has a low status. I am also a woman. The late emperor did not give me a name."

"Are you a princess?" Yuan Gao asked.

"I'm just a princess in name only." Luo Jiu said with some regret and sadness.

"You don't have to treat me like a princess, and I don't care about your identity." The woman said.

Yuan Gao nodded.

The woman picked hanging flowers in front of Yuan Gao.

"Here, this is edible."

Then he put the sweet-scented osmanthus in his mouth and started to taste it. It was very delicious.

"When I lived in the cold palace, I would eat sweet-scented osmanthus to satisfy my hunger. It was really delicious."

The woman was very satisfied.

Yuan Gao just watched the woman tasting the sweet-scented osmanthus, and also picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus to try.

"Why did you bury the sweet-scented osmanthus?"

"The blooming osmanthus is so beautiful, I don't want it to be ugly and unbearable when it withers."

This is the happiest time for Yuan Gao since his grandfather was kidnapped.

……

The hanging flower tree has completely withered.

Under the hanging flower tree.

"The emperor has arranged for my marriage.

I have never worn such gorgeous clothes, and have never been worshiped by hundreds of officials. Even the other princesses who looked down upon me before are kind to me, and the emperor is even more caring about me. Yuan Gao, I am really happy.

I used to eavesdrop on other princesses going to school. The Master said that a princess of a country should shoulder the responsibility of a country.

I finally became a real princess, Yuan Gao, I am very happy. "

"Princess, I will accompany you."

"Thank you Yuan Gao."

The princess sat on the stone platform with a flower tree, and Yuan Gao stood aside quietly.

……

"Yuan Gao, I'm getting married to Prince Jing of Dajin."

"Princess, I will accompany you."

The woman shook her head.

"Yuan Gao, I need you to enter the palace."

Yuan Gao was puzzled.

"King Dongping of Zhenbei has promised to cooperate with me. I need to know the emperor's movements."

"Why? Why are you?"

"You know, don't you? Yuan Gao."

The two looked at each other with pained, hard eyes.

Yuan Gao nodded.

Under the hanging flower tree.

The land was turned over, and Yuan Gao sat aside, looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in full bloom.

"Yuan Gao, if you kill Prince Jing, Dajin will be weakened by losing a general."

"Yuan Gao, if Prince Jing dies, the emperor will leave the palace, and I will have the opportunity to kill the emperor."

"Yuan Gao, you have helped me too much. I can't let you take the risk of assassinating the emperor."

……

"Grandpa is like this, and so is the princess. Why do you always abandon your righteousness to me? Why do you always leave me alone to bear this pain in this world? But what do you get in exchange for your righteousness?

Yuan Gao will never again, will never let your righteousness hurt me again, never again, from today on, Yuan Gao will only live for himself, I will be on top of that person who is below ten thousand people. In this position, no one will ever hurt me again in this world. "

……

Princess Sundowner was dead, and the rebellion was completely exposed. King Zhenbei and King Dongping raised the banner of rebellion and attacked the adjacent city.

In the court, only Prince Su was left among the four princes. After the death of Prince Su, the emperor gathered military power. Gradually, the emperor unknowingly controlled much more troops than Prince Su.

Prince Su stood alone in the position belonging to the four princes, coughing from time to time.

"Report, report to His Majesty the Emperor that King Zhenbei and King Dongping have captured two cities overnight. The two armies are marching towards the same place and may join forces in Yun County."

"We can't let them join forces. Their joining forces will pose a big threat to Daikin."

"Who should be sent?" the emperor asked.

"The emperor should send Prince Su to go. Prince Su has fought countless battles in his life, so he should send Prince Su to go."

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

"The two kings of Zhenbei and Dongping have rebelled. Prince Su is unable to do anything on his own. I want to go to the battlefield in person." The emperor said.

"The emperor thinks twice."

"Your Majesty must not."

"The emperor went to the battlefield in person because he did not want Prince Su to be tired. Your Majesty is wise, and the emperor and Prince Su will definitely return in triumph." Lord Jia Zhongguo said.

Mr. Jia was able to reach the position of the second person in the DPRK today. Judging the situation is what he is best at. At this time, his keen sense of politics led him to say the above words.

Prince Su looked dissatisfied at Lord Jia Zhongguo.

Master Jia saw Prince Su's dissatisfied look, and then he stopped talking angrily.

Then he looked at the emperor and said: "Since the emperor wants to conquer in person, then he can conquer in person."

Prince Su thought in his heart, you are just a young man who has never seen a war, and you still want to lead a military expedition yourself, then I want you to see how cruel the battlefield is.

Prince Su, as usual, regarded the emperor as a child, a child who just hid behind, ignoring, scorning, and not caring at all.

"The Queen Mother, the Emperor has decided to go to the battlefield with Prince Su." Hongyu said.

"What? The emperor's personal conquest? Why did he want the emperor's personal conquest? Doesn't he know that if something happens to him on the battlefield, Dajin will be shaken again." Liang Meng was very surprised and angry when he heard that the emperor's personal conquest was happening.

The emperor talked with Liang Meng.

"Mother, I have the blood of Dajin in my body, and I have the blood of Dajin who is brave and good at fighting. How can I stay in this palace all the time? Which of Dajin's ancestors didn't win the world on horseback? How can I just stay in the palace?" the emperor said.

"But if you go on a personal expedition, if something unexpected happens, it will be a huge risk for Daikin." Liang Mengdao.

"I know that my mother is worried about something bad happening to me, but this time I am personally escorted by Commander Liang and Commander Jiao to guard me. Moreover, the soldiers of our army are brave and good at fighting. King Zhenbei and King Dongping are just young men. My weapons are Dajin's. , the war horses are far superior to them, this battle is a sign of victory, please believe me, Queen Mother, I will definitely return in triumph." The emperor said.

Liang Meng watched the emperor who had vowed to go and could only agree.

On the palace wall, Liang Meng watched the emperor and Prince Su leading the troops away.

The army is on the way.

"Why are we marching so slowly? When will we reach the fork?" Prince Su asked, looking at the slowly walking army.

"Prince Hui Su's words were given by Commander Jiao and Commander Liang."

The original plan at the court was that the emperor and the two commanders would lead troops to attack King Zhenbei, Prince Su would lead troops to attack King Dongping, and the two armies would join forces and march to Yunxian County before marching separately.

Prince Su couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when he saw the slow marching army.

Prince Su rushed to Commander Jiao and Commander Liang and asked, "Why is the march so slow?"

"I've met Prince Su." Commander Jiao and Commander Liang said.

"Why is the marching speed so slow?" Prince Su asked anxiously.

"The emperor has to adapt to his personal expedition," the two commanders said.

"Adapt, adapt." Prince Su said with dissatisfaction.

"Why is the emperor marching so slowly?" Prince Su left to question the emperor. "I don't know if the march is slow. I only told the two commanders that I felt unwell. Could it be that the two commanders slowed down the march because of me?" the emperor said, still pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

"The army must meet King Zhenbei and King Dongping before they join forces. This march speed is absolutely impossible." Prince Su only felt that this emperor was unreliable.

"Then Prince Su will order the army to increase its marching speed," the emperor said.

The marching speed of the army gradually increased.

A few days passed.

"Why is it so slow again?"

"Report, King Dongping is attacking Qixian County. It will be captured in a few days. It will take a few days of march to reach the place where the troops will join forces."

"What?" Prince Su heard the report and felt that he could not let the two rebel kings join forces.

But the army marched too slowly.

After years of marching and fighting, he decided to leave the army and ride alone.

"What, Prince Su, why do you want to lead the team on horseback alone? No?" The emperor showed fear and bewilderment.

When Prince Su saw the emperor's expression, he felt useless.

Be more firm in your decision.

"The army is marching too slowly. I took the lead and attacked King Dongping to delay their joining forces."

"You, Liang and Jiao will march to Yun County to stop King Zhenbei and prevent King Zhenbei from becoming King Dongping's reinforcements to attack us."

"I sincerely follow the teachings of Prince Su." the emperor promised.

Prince Su led his warriors on horseback and rushed forward.

The emperor looked at Prince Su's back and changed his appearance like an ignorant child. His face was expressionless and he looked at Prince Su coldly.

"Your Majesty, should we speed up the march?" Commander Liang asked.

"Why do we need to speed up the march?" the emperor asked.

"Prince Kesu..." Commander Liang said.

The emperor looked towards Commander Liang.

Commander Liang then changed his words: "I will obey the emperor's order."

"The news has been released that Prince Su left the army and led his own soldiers to move forward alone regardless of the emperor's orders." The emperor said.

"The Queen Mother, it's not good." Hongyu said.

"What happened?" Liang Meng looked at Hong Yu's heart pounding.

"Prince Su ignored the emperor's orders and left the army and led his own soldiers to move forward alone." Hongyu said.

"Didn't we decide to separate in Yun County? Isn't Prince Su such a reckless person?"

"It is said that Prince Su was dissatisfied with the speed of the march and the emperor, so he went alone." Hongyu said.

"I am dissatisfied with the Emperor. Someone actually wants to lead Prince Su into rebellion." Liang Meng said.

"Prince Su is plotting rebellion?" Liang Meng suddenly thought of something.

recalled.

"Did the emperor find anything during his interrogation of Sun Qingwu?"

"Nothing was found during the interrogation after returning to my mother."

Shocked that day, the emperor did not panic at all.

A terrible thought formed in Liang Meng's mind.

"Hongyu, where is Sun Qingwu now?" Liang Meng asked.

"To tell you the truth, Sun Qingwu is now being held in prison."

"The Ai family wants to see Sun Qingwu."

"Yes, the Queen Mother's servants will make arrangements right away."

Liang Meng once again saw Sun Qingwu's hair like a chicken coop, and his body was covered in dirt and blood, but he was still as pale as a chrysanthemum.

"Sun Qingwu, tell the Ai family what you told the emperor." Liang Meng said.

"You were an old acquaintance of the Ai family when you were studying at the Royal Academy. The Ai family couldn't bear to see you like this. If you tell the Ai family what you told the emperor, the Ai family can spare your life and send you out of prison. Big gold.”

Liang Meng saw a glimmer of hope flashing in Sun Qingwu's eyes.

Then he said: "You should know that Ai Jia means what he says."

"I accidentally heard it when my brother was drunk. My brother said that Princess Sunset would kill Prince Jing at the right time, so that Dajin would have one less general. If he kills Prince Jing, the emperor will come to mourn, that's it. Assassinate the emperor when he is not prepared." Sun Qingwu said.

Liang dreamed.

It turns out that the emperor had long known that Princess Sunset would kill Prince Jing.

Emperor, Emperor…

If the emperor doesn't say anything, he just wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Get rid of Prince Jing.

That respectful, ignorant emperor, that dispensable emperor appeared in Liang Meng's mind.

It was me, it was me, who was negligent.

Prince Su, of the four great princes, only Prince Su is left. As long as Prince Su dies, the emperor can gather military power and imperial power.

The march was slow. Prince Su was dissatisfied with the emperor and marched alone. Prince Su's rebellion was guided by the emperor.

Did Prince Su realize as he did that the person beside him was not a harmless child but a wolf in sheep's clothing?

Prince Su...

The emperor's imperial chariot kills two birds with one stone by personally conquering him. He can not only eliminate Prince Su and gain the imperial power, but also gain the imperial power for himself, and achieve great achievements when he truly takes power.

It was just as vicious as when he borrowed Princess Sunset's hand to kill Prince Jing.

Liang Meng fell into deep thought and saw Sun Qingwu who was still kneeling beside him.

Liang Meng couldn't bear to see the former Sun Qingwu end up like this. He was abandoned by King Dongping and abandoned by Sun Qingsong. He was very pitiful. King Dongping's rebellion had nothing to do with Sun Qingwu, so he decided to let him go.

That day, the prison was on fire.

When it was extinguished, several corpses were burned to death in the prison.

At the same time, a carriage was galloping in the dark night.

Liang Meng saw Hongyu and asked, "Is everything done?"

When I returned to the empress, the people who died in the fire in the prison were the ones who died. There were no casualties among the prisoners in the prison. Sun Qingwu had already left in a carriage.

Liang Meng nodded.

"Hongyu prepares his horse, the Ai family is going to the battlefield."

"Not so, the Queen Mother. The Imperial City needs you to be in charge."

"It's okay. The Nine Kings have already started to deal with things. Prime Minister Zheng has led the officials very well. There won't be much problem if the Ai family leaves." Liang Meng said.

Liang Meng and Hong Yu quietly left the imperial city.

on the battlefield.

Prince Su and King Dongping started fighting.

Prince Su's soldiers were slightly better than those of King Dongping, but King Dongping suffered heavy losses.

"Prince Su, why haven't our reinforcements arrived yet?"

Prince Su also felt something was wrong.

"Reinforcements are coming."

Prince Su and others looked hopefully at the place where the horse's hoofs made the sound.

"They are the soldiers of the King of Zhenbei. They are the soldiers of the King of Zhenbei."

One side cheered for joy, while the other side felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Why haven't the emperor's troops arrived yet?

"Prince Su, we must retreat. If we don't retreat, we will be attacked from both sides, Prince Su." The soldier shouted loudly.

"Retreat, you have no way to retreat, come on, kill me."

Screams, the sound of swords clashing... can be heard endlessly.

"Am I, Prince Su, going to die here today?" Prince Su thought.

The battle filled Prince Su's mind, making him unable to think about why the emperor's troops did not come?
When King Zhenbei and King Dongping were determined to annihilate Prince Su, Dajin's soldiers and horses surrounded him.

The moment Prince Su and the remaining soldiers saw the reinforcements coming, they fought hard.

King Zhenbei led his troops to retreat and flee. King Dongping was beheaded and dismounted, and his troops were defeated and fled in all directions.

Liang Meng rushed to the mountain closer to the battlefield.

"My queen, we can't get any closer, there's a battlefield ahead."

Liang Meng has not yet decided how to face the emperor.

How should Prince Su be saved?
Then he waited and watched, sorting out his thoughts.

"Why are you here just now?" Prince Su asked seriously.

The emperor looked at these defeated soldiers.

When Prince Su saw the emperor who looked different from the previous child, a thought arose in his mind.

Before Prince Su came to his senses.

"Prince Su disregarded the emperor's order and left the army without authorization, intending to rebel. Kill me and kill these rebels." Commander Liang said.

Prince Su was shocked.

"You dare, how dare you?"

"Prince Su, look at how few of your soldiers are left. Your era has passed." Commander Jiao said.

The two commanders Liang and Jiao fought with Prince Su and held him back. Prince Su watched helplessly as his soldiers were killed. Prince Su, who was too sad, did not notice. The two commanders Liang and Jiao took the opportunity to chop Prince Su.

After all the soldiers were killed, Prince Su knelt down and cried in pain. His violent coughing made him spit out blood.

"It's you. It's all your plan. I've been deceived by you even though I've been famous all my life."

"If Prince Su hadn't always underestimated me, I wouldn't have succeeded."

"I have been a soldier of the Great Jin Army all my life, and I never imagined that I would end up like this."

"After a lifetime of military service, don't you, Prince Su, want to ascend to that position?"

"Yes, I admit that I have thought about that position, but who wouldn't covet that position?
But just because I covet that position, you can’t deny what I did to Dajin. Every injury on my body was left on the battlefield. If it weren’t for this king, Prince Su of Dajin, , You, a child, can secure the throne of Daijin, and the Queen Mother, a woman, can suppress the ambition of the wolf below?
But why? I have devoted my life to the great gold, but what have I gained in the end? What did this king get? It's your plan. If you don't have me standing in front of you and taking charge, how can you secure the throne and have time to...

Prince Su's blood was pumped from his mouth.

How can I wait until you grow fangs and stab me fiercely?

Ah~~

Then Prince Su fell to the ground and made no sound again.

"It is precisely because of me that you have the opportunity to grow, and that you can sit firmly on the throne because of me. But why are you so eager to kill the old ministers, so eager to monopolize power, and lose our great gold? Can you really Are your hands safe?"

Although Prince Su had many shortcomings, he was loyal to Dajin. His dying question was to express that although he had monopolized power, if he had not monopolized power, the emperor would have died long ago. He wanted to kill the young eagle before it grew up. The eagle that protected it, but little did it know that the eagle that protected it died, and the young eagle also...
