Chapter 75

"Brother Sanhuang threw the medicated diet I was going to drink on the ground, and told me with red eyes that he had secretly investigated my medicated diet and found that there was something wrong with the medicated diet. Someone had injected a small amount of chronic medicine into it. Well, it’s not that the injury is really serious, or that the imperial physician is incompetent. It’s that someone secretly poisoned the medicinal food after seeing that I’ve recovered, and the increase has been increasing year by year, making me a sick person who can only be bedridden. I was truly kicked out from the ranks of princes! That kind of poison is colorless, odorless, and extremely difficult to detect in a small amount, so the imperial physicians were helpless. But if it accumulates over time, it is a fatal poison, and within five years it will cause the poisoned person to palpitate and die The person behind it wanted to create the illusion that I was sick and dying! And the person who gave the medicine was one of my four imperial brothers!"

Mu Shuiqing choked for breath, she felt that she could hardly listen anymore, the words that were obviously indifferent and irrelevant to her were like a sharp sword piercing into her heart fiercely.She held Ji Xiaomo's hand tightly, trying hard to warm his suddenly cold hands.She thought sourly: Ji Xiaomo was only 17 to [-] years old at that time. In modern times, he was just a little kid, but because of such a dark thing as seizing the emperor, he experienced such pain, his right leg was disabled, and his relatives Poison.

"Due to two years of poisoning, the poison has spread throughout the body and it is difficult to get rid of it. With the help of Brother Sanhuang and Imperial Physician Ning, I forced the poison into my right leg. And I pretended to drink medicine on weekdays to secretly observe who administered the poison. Since I stopped taking poison, my body gradually recovered, and it was no longer difficult to get out of bed and walk. Later, after a secret investigation, all kinds of vigilance and one-by-one investigation, it was determined that the person who poisoned was Zhuyue, and the person behind the scenes was my relative. Brother Huang——Ji Hengyuan. When he cared for me and cared for me, he might be watching me with cold eyes, becoming more and more decadent and poisonous, until...death!"

Ji Xiaomo recalled the time when he was convalescing, he drank medicine all day long, he was drowsy, and lingered on the sick bed to the extreme.With red eyes, his brother-in-law was at his bedside, with a sleepy face but caring for him intimately.When he wished to die and refused to drink the medicine, he persuaded him earnestly and coaxed him to feed him the medicine with his own hands.He was very moved by this, and with his encouragement, he revived himself... The funny thing is, those were all just plays...

That emperor who is now aloof... In fact, he wished that he would die sooner. He just wanted to show his brotherly love in front of his father, and wanted his father to pay attention to him, so he didn't kill him...

Recalling that period of the past, Ji Xiaomo's lips trembled for a moment, and he was on the verge of tears. Even when he was angry, he couldn't stop his low coughing, like thunder in the quiet secret passage, excruciating pain.

"The position of prince is still vacant. In order to expand his power, Ji Hengyuan has placed slaves everywhere, such as Zhuyue and Mo's housekeeper, who are responsible for monitoring my every move and controlling my palace assets. The same goes for other royal brothers' residences."

"Although he is good at concealing his hopes for the reserve position, he relaxes outwardly and internally. He naturally reveals a calm voice in his daily speech. It seems that he only wants to be a prince who has nothing to do with the world and does not want to meddle in political affairs. In fact, It was just a hypocrisy to cover up the true thoughts in my heart. Because the competition for the crown prince was fierce at that time, my father hated those ambitious brothers. Especially the fourth brother at that time, because of forming a party for personal gain and secretly plotting against others, he was killed by his father. After the emperor found out, he was thrown into prison in a fit of anger. Soon after, the fourth brother died of illness in prison. A year later, the third brother investigated and found out that it was Ji Hengyuan who reported the misconduct to his father and fourth brother. The stakes laid before were driven into the interior of the Four Emperor Brothers, encouraged the Fourth Emperor Brothers, and finally sued the Emperor Father."

"As the days passed, the father's affection for the second brother grew day by day. In daily government affairs, he was often appointed to investigate cases of the royal family. Ji Hangyuan secretly filled the vacancies of officials in other provinces. Although there were not many people, they all held important positions. It can be seen that he has made plans long ago and has been planning in secret for a long time. Unfortunately, we found out too late, most of the people in the court were replaced by his people, and even the father believed in him... Not long after, the father stood up The second brother is the crown prince, so he was sent to sacrifice to heaven, so that God can see this future king."

"It was only then that I realized that this royal family is really terrifying. However, in the struggle for the throne, we were clearly brothers whose blood was thicker than water, but in his eyes I was a sworn enemy. I was too naive , He actually thought we were good brothers..." Na smiled softly, extremely sour, "I just realized that he is jealous of me winning the favor of my father, queen and queen, and only wishes to get rid of me as soon as possible. Happy, he wants to see me tortured by illness and finally pass away..."

During those days, he was too tired and hurt by too many people.His right leg was disabled by an arrow, the big emperor's brother's accident, Li Yanshan's departure, and even someone found chronic poison in the soup.This series of accidents broke him deeply, and he vomited blood that night, making his body weak and sick.

He would rather not find out back then, he would rather not wake up every time he coughed up blood and passed out..."

"I found out later that the death of the great emperor's brother caused all the emperor's brothers to covet the crown prince's position for the first time. It's just that some people have little ambitions, and some just feel that they have nothing to do, so they give up the idea. But those emperor's brothers all because of I lost my life in Huangquan by accident. But were those really accidents? The lessons learned by those people made me dare not disturb this muddy water again. Brother Sanhuang came to me and asked me to tell the truth to my father and unite with some people in the court. When the courtiers attacked the second emperor brother who is the prince, I was cowardly."

Many years later, Ji Xiaomo still had fresh memories of what happened at that time, but his mood was no longer what it used to be, and he felt extremely sour.

That year he played against Brother Sanhuang for the last time, and it was also the only time he lost to Brother Sanhuang.He was absent-minded, holding a white piece in his hand, and was forced to the end by the imposing third brother.

Ji Xiaomo once said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Three, Brother Two has become the crown prince, winning over most of the people in the court, and the father is seriously ill and has ignored the government... What you have done is too dangerous, maybe... ..."

"Seventh brother, would you like to go with me? Father is seriously ill, and he may have been poisoned by Ji Hengyuan."

He didn't want to touch such a heavy burden, such a terrible fact, so he cowardly avoided it.When the royal brothers were fighting openly and secretly, they nestled in the palace where they had nothing to do with the world, pretending to know nothing and avoiding all the chaos.

Ji Xiaomo shook his head.

"Seventh brother, as a member of the royal family, you can't survive being weak and evasive..." Ji Yongyuan smiled softly, "General!"

"I have united with the old subordinates of the deceased eldest brother and fourth brother, and the army is approaching the city. This time, I will not lose. I will rescue the father and expose what this treacherous villain has done."

"At that time, the capital was full of fire and fighting for more than a whole month. Brother Sanhuang was surrounded by the army for the crime of treason and was beheaded. The Three Kings Mansion suddenly caught fire that night. I couldn't help Brother Sanhuang. After the sister-in-law escaped with her two-year-old nephew in her arms, she used two charred corpses to cover up the fact that the two had faked their deaths. At that time, the imperial guards came too fast, and I failed to protect the sister-in-law out of the city, so the sister-in-law broke off contact. I ordered people to search hard for many years, and finally found them two months ago. The reason why I didn't talk about the emperor's wife is because she should have died two years ago. In the eyes of everyone in the capital, they were the ones who held the emperor The sinner who conspired against and caused bloodbath in the capital."

"On the second day, Ji Hengyuan denounced the treasonous conspiracy of the Three Emperor Brothers in awe-inspiring manner, condemned him as a sinner through the ages, and sent troops to encircle and suppress his old party. Afterwards, with the support of all his ministers, he succeeded to the throne and accepted Li Yanshan as his concubine. Is the fact really recorded by the official historian? Was the father really killed by the rebellious third brother?"

Because of the struggle for the throne, brothers killed each other.Among his six imperial brothers, there was only one winner left in the end...

Ji Xiaomo clenched his fists and said angrily, "I don't believe every word Ji Hengyuan said, so I have been investigating what happened in those years. Many people were silenced, but they still found clues. They. Back then, the three emperor brothers rescued the seriously ill father emperor, and led an army to surround the palace in the name of the Qing emperor, denouncing Ji Hengyuan. The father emperor even handed over the tiger talisman that commanded the army to the third emperor brother. When the victory was in sight, suddenly the war broke out Go straight down. The army rebelled, the third brother was beheaded, and the father died of illness. The army suddenly rebelled, and part of it was General Li who supported Ji Hengyuan and sent troops to help. Crucial order."

He used to be crazy about chess, but in order to remember that day all the time, and to remember what the third brother said, he glued all the chess pieces that he played at that time on the chessboard.Every time he saw those words lingering in his mind, his heart ached, and he kept blaming himself for his weakness and incompetence.

Ji Xiaomo suddenly turned around, and said to Mu Shui calmly, "If I hadn't been so cowardly back then, if I had revealed the truth to the sky with Brother Sanhuang, maybe many people and things would have changed... Many people would not I died at that time... So at that time, I made a solemn oath that I will never be weak and dodge in this life. No matter what price I pay, I must take revenge and reveal the truth!"

The two walked out of the secret passage, and the warm and bright sunlight hit Ji Xiaomo's face, smearing a little blush on his fair and pale face.He turned his head, half of his face hidden in the shadows.He clenched his hands tightly, no longer a gentle smile on his face, but a cold and terrifying murderous look.

He bent his lips sullenly: "I want to let him know that even if my right leg is disabled, even if I am seriously ill, I can overthrow his world...I want him to pay the price he deserves! This country is not his He is an insidious villain who is not worthy of that seat at all!"

Now, the man in front of Mu Shuiqing is like an unsheathed sword, shining cold and sharp in the sun, powerful and dazzling.

Mu Shuiqing stared blankly, imagining the sadness, pain and resentment in the heart of that talented young man back then.He is walking on the thorny road of revenge, he has resolved all emotions, only hate, only revenge!
Her heart sank to the bottom of the valley immediately, and a sadness spread from the bottom of her heart in an instant.

Over the years, Ji Xiaomo has been burdened with self-blame and hatred, no matter how difficult and forbearing he is, he will move forward step by step.She doesn't know anything about this... She doesn't know his suffering, and he even blamed her before...

Mu Shuiqing's voice could no longer be described as trembling: "Xiao Mo, you want to overthrow Ji Hengyuan and become emperor?"

Ji Xiaomo shook his head: "I'm tired of the imperial palace, and the infighting in it. For the rest of my life, I never want to be trapped by it again!"

When Ji Xiaomo said this, he bent down in pain and coughed a little.He walked the long secret passage, and explained his affairs to Mu Shuiqing all the way. His legs were heavy, his throat was dry, and he was already extremely tired, and his eyes were even bloodshot.

"Xiao Mo, go back and rest, you can't take it anymore."

"Shuiqing, get in the car."

Mu Shuiqing looked up, and saw that the exit of the secret passage was actually a small courtyard, and Bai Ye was sitting on the carriage not far away, looking at them with deep eyes.She pulled Ji Xiaomo's sleeve, and whispered: "Could that Bai Ye also be sent by Ji Hengyuan? He deliberately planned to become your bodyguard, maybe he was plotting something wrong." She still remembered that he wanted to kill her Woolen cloth.

"Don't worry, Bai Ye is mine." Ji Xiaomo sighed lowly, "Shen Mo is also mine. He is the son of a merchant, the cousin of Brother Sanhuang, and he was ranked second in the imperial examination. Brother Sanhuang was appointed For the crime of treason, his whole family was ransacked and beheaded. Fortunately, he ran away from home at that time, severed ties with his relatives, and escaped the catastrophe. Now he has given up his previous surname, anonymously, and secretly He is engaged in the arms business. It is thanks to him that the wife of the emperor found it. When you ran away from home that time, I also asked him to follow you all the way to protect you."

Mu Shuiqing was stunned.
