Chapter 251: The East Palace
"What are you doing here now?"

He raised his tone, "Ning Qingqing, shouldn't you be in the third brother's arms!"

After finishing speaking, he hehe laughed out loud, and the laughter could be heard full of pain and sadness.

"Zihong..." opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know how to say it. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Don't be discouraged. I know you are a good prince. Your Majesty will never give up on you."

"Good prince?" He almost laughed at himself, "A prince whose blood is suspected?" To this day, even he himself doubts whether he is the prince of his father.

After finishing speaking, he threw the wine glass in his hand towards the empty hall, and the golden cup hit the ground with a bang, and all the fine liquid in the wine glass splashed all over the ground.

Standing gently below, the spilled wine gradually fell on her face, which was slightly cool.

Her heart was suffocated, because of Xiao Zihong.

"Go to the prince of Lao Shizi!"

The prince roared angrily, waved the sleeves of the light yellow and wide prince's royal robe, and swept out the jug in front of the case with a "huo", and the hall was immediately in chaos.

The inner eunuch not far away hastily knelt down, "Your Highness, calm down, calm down..."

He got off the couch, his body was a little shaky, and his tone was even more sad: "Gently, do you know? I never wanted to be a prince, never—"

"Since fate made me a prince, I will work hard to be the prince in their hearts. Over the years, I, Xiao Zihong, have read the scriptures and read the ancient and modern. I wake up every day, learn swords, study, handle government affairs, deal with all kinds of people, etc., fall asleep in the middle of the night, and never slack off. My ideal is what my father hopes for, and I will be a prosperous and wise king in the future."

"I have forgotten my original self, the things I like, the girl I like...all are gone!"

Overnight, he was no longer the prince favored by his father, and his identity was overthrown. Because of his impulsive desire to save his mother, he was charged with conspiracy to rebel.

Looking at the sadness and despair in his eyes, I felt a little grief in my heart, and tears welled up unconsciously.

I have known Xiao Zihong for many years, earlier than Xiao Zijun, but after all, I did not choose him. Although I did not do anything to hurt him, for some reason, she felt guilty towards him.

She couldn't see the prince in such pain and despair, she had already burst into tears.

"Zihong, don't be like this. Your Majesty said that His Highness is a worthy prince. You are His Majesty's prince, a born prince."

He looked at the tears on her face, his heart moved slightly, and there was a trace of sadness on the corner of his lips, "Gently, thank you for coming—"

He staggered back a step, looking at everything in the Eastern Palace, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.In the past, he was the pride of his father and queen, and the East Palace was the noble and unparalleled status that his father gave him. Looking at all this now, it seems like a cage, and he is just a prisoner.

The door of the palace was pushed open, and a row of inner eunuchs with black crowns came in. The first one was Director Li, the personal eunuch next to the emperor. He was wearing a golden official hat different from other eunuchs. At this time, he shouted: " Your Majesty has an order—”

The prince knelt down to receive the order.

"Since the emperor's fourth son, Xiao Zihong, has been diligent and diligent since he entered the East Palace. Once he was instigated by the deposed queen, he tried to force the palace to fail, and made a big mistake. His Majesty missed the old feelings and deposed Xiao Zihong from the position of Crown Prince. He moved out of the East Palace on a certain day and waited for Dali. The temple will examine and issue."

The prince's expression was peaceful, he had expected to dethrone the prince.

Calm down, something unsettling is hiding.

Outsiders only see the nobility and tranquility on the prince's white and handsome face, but Wei Wei feels that deep sorrow and unwillingness are buried in his eyes.

"Son, please thank you—"

Eunuch Li glanced coldly at Xiao Zihong's appearance, and turned his head to signal that the inner prisoner behind him presented the case with two cups of wine.

"Your Majesty, I would like to reward Your Highness with two glasses of sake. Your Highness can only choose one drink, and leave the rest to the one in the cold palace."

The cup is made of white jade, it is exquisite and lustrous, and it is really flawless white jade.

The prince's eyes touched the two glasses of wine, his body suddenly sank, and his heart turned into ashes——

Wei Wei was also taken aback, what is the meaning of His Majesty giving wine at this time?

It must be poisonous wine.

I only heard Eunuch Li whisper softly: "Our family kindly reminds Your Highness that you will be fine if you drink the cup on the left. Your Highness should think twice, Your Majesty still can't bear to treat His Highness."

The left side is non-toxic, and the right side is poisonous.

So fast.

The emperor is really cruel.

The prince chose the left side, and the rest of the poisoned wine was given to his mother; if he chose the right side, he committed suicide in fear of crime, right?
For a moment, the light breathing became tense, and his eyes were fixed on the prince's actions.

Xiao Zihong stared blankly at the two glasses of poisoned wine, according to the order he had to choose one.

The main hall was very quiet, and the people around held their breath, sweating and expecting His Highness to survive.

Such a choice is so long that it is like a reincarnation.

After a long time, Wei Wei watched the prince's hand reach for the cup on the right.

Not to mention being slightly frightened, even the Eunuch Li who gave the wine was also shocked.

Eunuch Li reminded again, "Your Highness can consider it again, and it will be hard to go back on it—"

In desperation, he shouted softly: "Zihong! No!"

Sure enough, Xiao Zihong took his hand back, and for a moment, he burst out laughing.

Looking up at the hall, he stretched out his arms and opened his wide robe sleeves. He laughed loudly and said, "How can I be forced by two glasses of wine?!"

He turned around and swung the wine case held by the eunuch to the ground with a wave of his sleeve.

The jade cup fell to the ground, and the imperial liquor was spilled.

The prince stepped up to the side of the king's couch, and drew out the prince's king sword at once.

"Father! Your son is not filial! Forgive me!"

At this moment, the one who barged in seemed to be the prince's loyal bodyguard, "Your Highness!"

But everything is too fast.

Wang Jian rushed out, Qing Qing didn't have time to shout, only saw the snow-colored sword swinging around his neck.

In an instant, the moon-white robe was stained red with blood, the prince fell to the ground, and Wang Jian landed on the jade steps with a "clap".

Blood flowed down the blade.

At this moment, Xiao Zihong was smiling.

He seemed to see when he was young, his father and queen took him for a walk in the imperial garden, and his father praised him for being smart, studious, benevolent, filial and sensible, how happy he was then.

In the quiet study room in the afternoon, Father Huang came over quietly, took his hand from behind to correct him, "Hong'er, this word should be written like this."

He seemed to see himself in a coma due to smallpox fever, and his mother kept guarding him in front of the sick bed for three days and three nights, her eyes were red from crying.

Father, in this life, sons and ministers are not filial, and would rather die to thank the world.

He heard crying slightly and ran over, his heart warmed in the end, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Gently supported Xiao Zihong, wept bitterly, "Zihong, why did you do this? You are so stupid!"

"Call the Imperial Physician! The Imperial Physician!"

With tenderness in his eyes, he tried hard to hold her hand, smiled, and smiled slightly.

The corner of his mouth opened slightly, and he struggled to utter the words: "If there is an afterlife... I am not the prince... I will not miss you—"

(Writing is also very painful, I hope someone will write a review for the prince. Continue tomorrow)
