Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other

Day and night, straight to Beijing.

Along the way, there have been all kinds of people talking about the emperor’s serious illness. Everyone said that the queen fell on a cliff while praying for blessing. The country may change hands, and the throne will eventually fall back to the original Prince Qing. .

I thought that these news were spread out intentionally or unintentionally by Jing Lan. He placed himself in the position of the only successor. In addition, he has done a good job in the supervising country for more than half a year. With the news of the emperor's death, I am afraid that the Manchu civil and military will support him as the new emperor without hesitation.

After thinking about it, I couldn't believe that no matter what, that wise big emperor brother would become what it is now.

Why do I always faintly feel that this style of acting is quite similar to Fengli, but didn't I witness Fengli die in front of me?

I asked: "What did Jing Yan say to you on that day, do you have more details?"

Cheng Tiezhong said: "His Majesty didn't actually talk to the slaves too much. He was instructing the slaves to come to Guangling to find the princess, and asked the princess to return to the palace to meet her. Your Majesty has something to say to the princess."

I nodded, "It seems that he has something to confess to me personally."

Cheng Tiezhong paused, and then said: "It's just that now that King Qing may not let the princess enter the palace, even if he enters the palace, he will follow the princess and will not give the princess and her majesty a chance to be alone."

"There will always be a way," I said, looking at the bustling scenery of the capital ahead, "Let's go."

When I returned to Beijing again, the first person I was looking for was the director Tao Yuan of Ming Jiansi. Tao Yuan had already received the news that I was coming back. When we stepped into the tunnel and saw him, he knelt down solemnly. : "The old man finally waited until the princess came back."

It seems that the situation in Beijing has reached the point where it is like fire and water. However, Ming Jiansi died in the hands of the emperor. Even if he was willing to be loyal to the court, he would not be able to intervene in the affairs of the court. Hope for the stars and moon for my return to Beijing.

I asked Cheng Tiezhong to take the previous events one by one. Tao Yuan was shocked the more he heard it, and under his anger, he almost wanted to send all of Mingjiansi to the palace to take down Jing Lan. I shook my head and said: "Only thousands of people can't move your eldest brother at all. The current situation, even if we tell the court, the emperor, is the eldest brother's harm, I'm afraid they will not only not attack the eldest brother, but will do it for the sake of Brother come to calculate us..."

Cheng Tiezhong was puzzled, "Is there any truth in the world?"

"It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages," I said: "If I have other brothers who can take on this important task in the world, perhaps some of the courtiers are willing to fight against us together, but now the emperor's body... What can you do if you have the intention? It's just by seeing through this that the eldest brother can be so unscrupulous. You really are those scheming courtiers who can't see that this year's upside-down is not accidental?"

Tao Yuan nodded when he heard the words: "How many people have killed brothers and seized the throne through the ages...As long as they think that this person is worthy of surrender and has the ability to control the world, they may not care about whether their methods are open and upright..."

Cheng Tiezhong smashed the table fiercely, "Could it be that you just sit and wait..."

"That's not necessarily true." I looked up at Cheng Tiezhong, "Didn't you say that the emperor wants you to take me back to the capital, and he wants me to go to the palace to see him alone?"

Cheng Tiezhong nodded, "Your Majesty said...he must tell the princess if he has something..."

"It seems that this is the key to overthrowing eldest brother..." I put my hand on my forehead, "it is not difficult to enter the palace to see my younger brother, but once I enter, I am afraid that eldest brother will not give me the opportunity to leave the palace again. ..."

Tao Yuan sighed, "But it is not easy to hide this matter from King Qing. The secret report from the palace said that after the disappearance of Father-in-law, the **** who served next to His Majesty was replaced by Father-in-Law, then Li The austere is the person of King Qing. It is said that if your Majesty has a little wind and grass, he will be passed to King Qing’s ears as soon as possible. The courtiers are also imperial concubines, but if anyone wants to visit your Majesty, it’s not for your majesty. I need to rest and be stopped back, which is to invite King Qing to respond personally. Even if we attack Li Jun, if King Qing does not receive any news after a while, there will be suspicions in my heart, and the princess is afraid it will be difficult to get away... "

I got up and walked a few steps forward, paused, and looked back at Tao Yuan, "Master Tao, you say... Is there a possibility that the emperor is sent out of the palace?"

Tao Yuan was shocked, Cheng Tiezhong was dumbfounded: "This, this, this..."

I said: "Big brother won't go out of the palace easily right now, but if I invite him to meet, he will come to the appointment. Even if something happened in the palace at that time, Li Jun would not be able to spread the news..."

Tao Yuan said: "This is not appropriate, not to mention that it is extremely dangerous for the princess to meet with King Qing alone. It is your majesty's body now. Even if we change him out of the palace overnight, it will be difficult to bear the turbulence..."

"Master Tao is absolutely right, so I think..." I lowered my throat and slowly revealed my plan.

After listening to Tao Yuan, he was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Although it is dangerous, it may not be impossible to try."

It is not difficult to ask Jing Lan to come out and meet me.

Just let him know that I have returned to Beijing, he would not want me to enter the palace without preparation, so he would take the initiative to come to my appointment.

I wore very low-key men’s clothing and walked to the palace gate. As Cheng Tiezhong said, the guards who guarded the palace gate had already changed a group of people. These newcomers naturally did not recognize me, and it was natural to see that I wanted to enter the palace. Stop me at the door.

I clung to my hands and said, "It's an old friendship with King Qing, you military masters, it is convenient for you to pass it on for me."

The headed guard said fiercely and wickedly: "Asshole! King Qing has a lot of opportunities, how can you wait for the common people to see it! If you are interested, you can go away!"

There is a lot of opportunity...A goalkeeper in a small area described Jing Lan like this, and it seems that his position in this palace is far beyond my imagination.

I took out two ingots of gold from my sleeve and stuffed the guards. This kind of blatant bribery not only failed their hearts, but also increased their anger. They threatened to take me down for the crime of trespassing the palace gate. While pushing and shoving, suddenly a voice came from not far away, shouting: "Stop!"

When several guards heard his voice, they were all startled. They hurriedly gave up a path and shuddered: "Master Sun, there is an intention to trespass into the palace, saying that it is an old friend of His Royal Highness, a subordinate. How to rush, he won't leave..."

The visitor was originally aggressive, but when he saw my face he was shocked, and he blurted out: "Gong..."

"Master Sun, you came just right," I intercepted his words. "My son wanted to enter the palace to see King Qing, but he was stopped by them. What do you think is good?"

This Lord Sun is naturally the commander of the Imperial Guards, Sun Xuan. Sun Xuan was my hand drawn to Jing Yan's side as the prince's personal soldier. Back then, when King Kang's case was above the hall, he was the first person to kneel at me. How can you not recognize me? However, according to Cheng Tiezhong, Jing Lan did not know what method he used to even take Sun Xuan for himself, so today I made a special trip to clash with the palace guards at this hour, and it was precisely the guard patrol. In the early days, they would take over with the guards in shifts, so that they could meet Sun Xuan in such a "coincidental" manner.

What a clever person Sun Xuan saw that I deliberately concealed my identity and did not reveal it, but he scolded the guards and said: "You know this young man is the guest of King Qing!"

When the guards heard this, they were convinced, and knelt down in panic and begged Sun Xuan for forgiveness. I smiled with great grace, "Master Sun, you are reckless in the next step. I didn't ask someone to lead the way in advance." Bi stretched out his hand to signal Sun Xuan, "It's better to take a step to speak."

Sun Xuan nodded, and walked with me to the corner outside the palace gate. Then he raised his hand and said, "Princess, you, why are you here?"

I lowered my head rather helplessly and sighed: "Presumably you have also heard that my husband and I have been missing for so long. They were originally intended to retreat and ask about the affairs of the court. It is true that I heard that the emperor was seriously ill, and I was really anxious. Only then came to the capital... But now I really don’t want to be involved in that dynasty, so I concealed my identity, but I don’t want even the guards outside the palace to recognize me..."

Sun Xuan understood what I meant, "Does the princess want her subordinates to take you into the palace?

"What, can't it?"

"Well, that's not... Actually it's not difficult to enter the palace, but princess, you don't want to confess your identity," he hesitated for a moment. Your Majesty must go through King Qing... I'm afraid that the authority of his subordinates..."

I glanced at him with a smile, and it seemed that Jing Lan was really defensive. It is estimated that all the guards in this palace would rush to inform him when they saw me. Sun Xuan was a little guilty of being stared at by me, and I nodded slightly and said, "Big brother is cautious. If I'm pretending to be someone else at the moment, it's really wrong to just go to the saint so rashly...Let's bother Master Sun running for me. Go to the same eldest brother to inform you, I am waiting for the news in Yueyang Restaurant, how about?"

Sun Xuan clasped his fist and said, "The princess will wait a moment, and the subordinates immediately go to see His Royal Highness King Qing."

I am well aware that Sun Xuan is here, with Jing Lan’s style of things, he will not give me the opportunity to go into the palace to see the banquet before he knows what I’m coming, he will probably go out to see me in person Said that from this moment on, this competition has already begun.

The quaint piano sounds are lingering in the Yueyang Restaurant, and the literati and elegant scholars still gather as before. I booked a private room by the window, ordered two dishes with a pot of wine, and waited quietly.

When the setting sun slanted and the sky fell, I was a little tired of waiting, and the curtain was suddenly raised. The eldest brother in brocade and luxurious clothes stood in front of him, still standing tall and heroic in the past, and I couldn’t tell the difference for a while. When I was a teenager or now, I just listened to him softly: "Xiang Yi..."

I stood up, my eyes were sour, "Big Brother."

As if trying to control his emotions, he asked the two entourages to step back temporarily, stepped into the private room and hugged me. For a long time, he said: "Where have you been in these two years?"

With such a sincere feeling, it’s hard to think of the person in front of me doing such a bad hand to my brother. I paused with my fingers in the air, and then patted him on the back, "I’m back... …"

Jing Lan slowly released her hand, "I heard Sun Xuan say that you came back because you were worried about the emperor's illness..."

I nodded, and couldn't help but anxiously grabbed his sleeve: "What happened to my brother? What did the doctor say?"

Jing Lan lowered his head, as if he wanted to talk, then shook his head gently, "The emperor said...The emperor’s disease is born with him, and he has been seeking a cure for the past 20 years, but it has no results. The cold and wind aggravated the condition half a year ago. Right now...Don't talk about getting out of bed and walking around. Even when you are awake, it is very difficult to even say a few words..."

I sat down and couldn’t help but tears, even knowing that Jing Lan was here to test me, but since he said so, most of Jing Yan’s situation is really exhausted, "I want to go into the palace to see my brother. ..."

Jing Lan nodded slightly, and said softly and softly: "He has just taken the medicine and fell asleep. You follow me into the palace. When he wakes up tomorrow, go see him."

I raised my eyes and looked at him. There was no flaw in his expression, just like the big emperor brother who was a compassionate younger brother and sister when I was a child. I wiped my tears, let him sit down beside me, filled the wine on the table, and said:" Okay, it's still early, so take a couple of drinks with me before entering the palace."

Brother, this will be our last peaceful conversation.

At first, I had the intention to delay, so that Ming Jiansi had enough time to proceed according to the plan, but unexpectedly, Jing Lan seemed unwilling to return to the palace too early. We talked to each other for the past two years. Recently, he was talking about the intrigue between the balance and restraint of the DPRK. I teased the chai, rice, oil and salt in the small village, like a pair of ordinary brothers and sisters who have reunited after a long time.

We drank this wine for more than an hour.

When Jing Lan asked why Song Langsheng could not come with me, I smiled bitterly: "Big brother, you know, he fled the barracks without permission before he was removed from the military. The emperor didn’t pursue that because of my love, but Those veterans in the DPRK may not think so..."

Jing Lan nodded, "I understand. It's just that the emperor's condition is not good now. I thought that if you were willing to come back, you would be able to share the worries for the emperor..."

I waved my hand and interrupted him, "I'm not a princess anymore. I won't mention this again, Brother."

Jing Lan looked at me thoughtfully, "Okay."

The music of Yueyang Restaurant has been played from Guangling to Yuqiao Q&A. When the end of the strings is flicked, it turns to a good night quotation. This is what I agreed with Tao Yuan at the beginning. As soon as this song came out, it was to me. To convey a message, Ming Jiansi completed the first move.

The silent distant sky suddenly burst into the sound of fireworks, the fireworks outside the window bloomed gracefully, and the petals were like rain. This is not uncommon in Beijing, but I noticed that Jing Lan’s brows frowned very quickly, although it was only a momentary change. He still calmly drank the wine in the glass, then gently put it down, "Originally, I was out of the palace today, besides seeing you, I still have some important things to do. If you wait for me here first, wait. After I have dealt with the matter, I will pick you up again in the palace."

I nodded, "Big Brother, go ahead and do your business first. I'll wait for you."

He smiled slightly, and immediately got up and left. I turned my head and looked down from the window. Jing Lan turned on his horse and hurried away with a few entourages, rushing towards the palace.

At this time, Xiao Er from the restaurant had already opened the curtain and asked with a smile: "The old man has just left. Is this young man going to check out or add a glass of wine to sit down for a while?" The moment he said this, he moved his cuffs. Put the note on my palm.

I unfolded the note, but saw what it said: I have complied with the instructions, and the five carriages have gone in five directions. Even if King Qing sent troops to chase, he could not confirm which carriage the emperor was on in a short time. King Qing came with ten entourages today, and there are still four people staying downstairs to monitor the princess, when to do it, but follow the instructions.

I returned the note to Xiao Er in the shop. He immediately swallowed the note in his stomach and asked again: "Does the guest officer want to check out or sit down for a while?"

I slowly got up and said, "Check out."

The gate is closed, and the city is full of soldiers searching.

After I got out of Yueyang Restaurant, I got in a carriage and went straight to the palace. The Qingwang servants in those restaurants had been dealt with. In other words, when Jing Lan returned to Yueyang Restaurant after searching the capital , He would realize that I was manipulating this scam.

This is naturally a trick to adjust the tiger away from the mountain.

Jing Yan was seriously ill in bed, and there were eunuchs who guarded him from time to time outside the palace. To really send him out of the palace, it would be impossible without a dripping plan and sufficient time. So from the beginning of our discussions, Tao Yuan rejected this. proposal.

I said, "Master Tao, you have actually thought about it. Maybe we don’t have to take the emperor away from the palace. We just need to create an illusion that the emperor is missing and let Qing Wang think that someone will rob the emperor overnight, and he will definitely lead troops to hunt down. And during this period, even if we kill Father Li Jun and those loyal to King Qing’s eyeliners, King Qing will not be able to get the news right away, and I only need to enter the palace to see the emperor alone."

Tao Yuan frowned and thought, "Why does the princess assert that King Qing will pursue him personally? He can wait for news in the palace."

I hooked my mouth and said: "He is deliberately planning this, what is he most looking forward to now? That is waiting for Jing Yan to die. But if I see me in the capital in vain, once I enter the palace to see what Ni At the end, he must get rid of me, but his heart is too clear that I am far from Jing Yan to deal with."

Tao Yuan finally understood what I meant, "The princess means that if King Qing sees the princess at first, he will try to delay the princess first, and if he happens to hear that the emperor is taken out of the palace, he will count the tricks in the process of hunting down. Kill the emperor in the middle, and then push his crime to others, so that he can just ascend to the throne."

I said: "My eldest brother has been a meticulous person since he was a child. The more critical the juncture, the more important things will be done by himself."

I couldn't even think of it myself. I have been alienated from the political situation for nearly two years. My ability to speak a word is still there. Jing Lan really led his troops to search the capital.

When the whole palace was in a panic, I took Cheng Tiezhong's palace token, and under the disguise arranged by Ming Jiansi, I smoothly entered the palace.

At this time, naturally no one would care about a little **** like me, and no one wanted to know that the missing majesty never left the palace.

All Jing Lan's eyeliners near the bedroom have disappeared, replaced by eunuchs and court ladies who belonged to Ming Jiansi. As I approached the emperor’s palace step by step, no one came forward to stop me. Time was running out, and I couldn’t care too much, so I stepped into the house like this.

The room was silent and the candlelight was dim. I walked slowly towards the dragon couch. I could vaguely see a pair of hollow incense **** hanging between the tents. The faint fragrance of medicine was lingering, but there was no one under the bed tent.

I paced to the edge of the bed, lifted the bedding on the edge of the bed, moved the position of the bed board, and reached out to touch the mechanism.

The stone wall on which the bed rests opened in response. At the other end is a secret room the same height as the bed. A thick blanket is spread on the top of the secret room. After hearing the movement, he opened it slowly, and turned his head slightly to look at me.

Moon Shadow swept across the window, making his elegant face even more haggard.

Naturally it was my brother Xiao Jingyan.

This is the truth of the so-called disappearance of the emperor. The dragon couch was originally set up by the emperor when his father was alive. In those years, his health was good and bad. Sometimes he had to read memorials and secret notes on the couch. Later, the booklets piled up like a mountain, and even the small cases beside the bed were placed. No less, so the father simply created this small secret room, which was mostly used to place things that people didn't want to see easily. In fact, not many people know this secret. Apart from me and Jing Yan, only the mother knows how to unlock the mechanism. As for the eldest brother... when the secret room was built, he had already been expelled from the capital, how could he think of a hiding place here?

A thin mist appeared in Jing Yan's eyes, and with a voice that could hardly be heard, he said with difficulty, "Sister Emperor...you are back..."

The cry of "Emperor Sister" made my heart suffocate. I opened my mouth and felt the tears rolling down. He slightly propped up and tried to move his body out. I quickly turned over on the couch and supported him with both hands. All he touched was his thin, sick bones, and the last string in his heart broke instantly, "Why have I lost so much..."

He leaned back on the bed with my support. I cushioned him with a soft pillow, so he could barely sit comfortably. He stretched out his hand to wipe away my tears, "You are a lot fatter..."

I held back it so I didn’t let myself cry out, “It’s the emperor that’s not good, it’s because I shouldn’t leave you behind, it’s because I didn’t warn you well about the elder brother’s life experience, it’s me...”

"Emperor Sister," he patted the back of my hand lightly, "Jing Lan's life experience...Father...have already told me..."

He looked at me with a shocked look, but smiled faintly, and said with a weak breath: "Father said, Jing Lan himself does not know the secret of this life experience. Since childhood, the person I admired most is the emperor brother, I. I thought that as long as he kept this secret, he could be my good emperor by my side...I am confused, I forgot...The more he does not know his life experience, the more he will remember that he was the prince of the East Palace. I will hate that everything that belongs to him has been replaced by me..."

I looked at him blankly, "He hates you? Did your elder brother tell you these things?"

He nodded gently, "During my poisoning and coma, Jing Lan would often sit quietly by my bed, sometimes for an hour, sometimes for half a day... He has countless opportunities to let me die without leaving a trace... But he didn't. He...he said a lot to himself. He told me that he didn't intend to kill me, but just wanted to put me in a coma and sleep, but he didn't expect that my body would not be able to withstand the poison of the cartilage powder... ...But after this step, he can't look back..."

"The cartilage powder... really is the cartilage powder..." I murmured, "Brother, Jing Lan, is he... the Fengli of the year?"

Jing Yan glanced at me unexpectedly and nodded slowly, "...he said to me himself..."

So, the cousin who was stabbed to death by Song Langsheng's sword in the Royal Palace at that time was also the stand-in for Jing Lan Jin Chan's escape? Therefore, many years ago, the person who killed the escort, chased down a family of Junjin, planned the bombing of the official ship, created floods in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and used honey to separate me and Song Langsheng to push us into desperation time and time again. It is really a scene. Lan?

It turns out that Song Langsheng’s guess was not wrong at all. It turns out that I was blinded by emotion like Jing Yan!

The more I trembled, the more violent I was, "What does it mean to belong to him? He, if he wanted to be an emperor, he shouldn’t have left for a woman in the first place, but he just left like that, walking so unrestrainedly, but The burdens of the seriously ill father and Jiangshan were all weighed on us! What happened later? His woman died, and he wandered with no sustenance, so he coveted those imperial powers and wealth that he once disdained?!"

Jing Yan held my trembling hand, obviously a very light power, but it seemed to have a heavy power, "Emperor Sister... don’t need to be angry or despair... From the moment we learned the truth, he He is no longer our big brother..."

I froze.

Jing Yan stared at me, repeating word by word: "He is not our emperor brother in the first place."

I lowered my head slightly, trying to control my emotions, "You are right, he was not our emperor brother... But we have no proof, how can we convince the civil and military officials that Jing Lan is not the son of the emperor... ..." Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of someone, "Yes, the queen mother knew that she exchanged babies with her father and the emperor, and it is impossible to leave no clues! Only the words of the queen mother are the most convincing..."

Jing Yan said: "Emperor sister, that queen mother is no longer the mother queen we know... The queen mother was originally against me for making Jinglan the prince, but one day she would not object to me for some reason, and she was also very caring for Jing Lan. Youjia... I had doubts in my heart, so I sent someone to investigate secretly, but suddenly I got a serious illness. Only later did I learn that the queen mother was a fake..."

I seem to have heard the most absurd thing in the world, "The queen mother is fake? How, how is it possible? No matter how powerful Jing Lan is, how can I find someone to replace the queen mother?"

"The facts are before me, I have to believe..."

If Jing Lan could even replace the queen mother in the palace at any time, his hidden power would have reached an immeasurable level, which is simply unimaginable. I looked at Jing Yan and said, "Before I came today, I thought that your brother could no longer move or speak. At this moment, even though you can't move, you can still make a sound. That's the case. Tell the truth in the face of the officials, and convict Jing Lan? No matter how Jing Lan can step by step and win over the important officials of the court, he is only a prince after all, and you are the emperor! It's you, brother, what on earth are you afraid of and not taking action?"

Jing Yan froze for a moment, and his lips curled up subconsciously. He coughed twice and slowly said: "Emperor Sister...I exhausted my last strength to let Cheng Tiezhong go to Guangling to look for you. Until today, you appeared in Therefore, during this period... I... have always been unable to move, unable to speak, even... hard to open my eyes... The cartilage poison has already spread all over the limbs..."

"Then, how can you now..."

"I have prepared a medicine. When you take this medicine, you can restore your mind in a short time, whether you are poisoned or dying..." He paused, "It's just that when the hour comes... …The end will follow..."

I feel that the whole person is a little limp, holding on to the corner of the bed, it takes a long time to speak, "You can't move, why...how did you take this medicine?"

"Ming Jiansi." Jing Yan smiled slightly. "The father said that he gave Ming Jiansi to the emperor sister, but...cough cough, but the world is mine, so how can Tao Yuan refuse the emperor's life at the feet of the emperor... "

The bed net was blown up by the wind, I looked at him incredulously, and the mist in my eyes spread out again, "Who allowed you to die? Who allowed you to wake up in this way? Xiao Jingyan... how can you not Try to give up your life like this...how can you do this..."

"I can't stand it for long, and I can't just sit back and do nothing..."

I held his arms tightly, "But I don't want you to die, you are the last blood of the father, you are dead, what shall I fight with Jing Lan? Even if I win the fight, who will inherit this piece? Fertile land?"

Jing Yan whispered: "Some..."

"Are you talking about your infancy son?" I bit my lip. "In this world, how often did a baby become emperor? Not to mention Xiao Jinglan. No one would be convinced by the civil and military affairs of Manchuria. Do you understand that child?"

He raised his eyes and looked at me like a cold star in the sky: "Emperor sister...what I mean...not my child, but the father's...

I was stunned, "What do you mean by this? Not all of our emperor brothers..."

He said: "It's the big emperor..."

I was confused, "Xiao Jinglan was clearly not born of his father..."

He pondered for a moment, "Did the mother actually give birth to a baby that day?"

"But didn't the baby become yellowish and thin when he was born, did the doctors say he won't live for three days?"

"No... the baby didn't die." Jing Yan said word by word: "They... all thought that the baby would die, and replaced it with Aunt Huang's child, but the child... survived."

I gaped: "If the baby is still alive, why should the father let Lai Jinglan replace it?"

Jing Yan closed his eyes and slowly said, "Even though the baby is about to die... But the father and the queen finally have a glimmer of hope... In order to conceal their eyes, they let the mother and the mother and the queen sneak out of the palace overnight... I didn't expect that The mother disappeared as soon as she left the palace, and even the baby was nowhere to be seen... Since then, the father has determined that the child has died on the way, and has not looked for it again... But after many years, she found out again by accident. His existence..."

I listened blankly.

He panted slightly. "The emperor father didn't want the prince who had been living among the people to return to the palace. If it weren't for our emperor brothers who had passed away one after another, the chaos in the dynasty would be difficult to deal with... and my body. The situation...After all, my father had some concerns... Maybe my father had already expected the situation today...cough cough cough...for the stability of Daqing Jiangshan..." He coughed hard, and I patted and stroked. His back, "I mean, brother, the father later found the prince, and has kept in touch with him in secret?"

Jing Yan tried his best to relieve herself and nodded slightly.

I asked: "Who is he?"

Jing Yan shook his head, "Perhaps the emperor father is cautious that in order to stabilize his throne, he will attack that person after enthroning... At this point, the emperor father did not expressly tell me..."

"Then, this person will take the initiative to reveal that Jing Lan is not a prince, and replace it?"

Jing Yan shook his head again, "...It doesn't seem to be anymore now... Otherwise, in these years, when I re-established Jing Lan as King Qing, how could he not show up..."

Hearing this, no matter how dull I am, it is impossible to hear what he said. It turned out that Jing Yan was jealous of the real big emperor brother that day, and blocked his path to return. Lan is king.

How could this stupid brother deal with this matter so stupidly? How could he not think about it, if this prince who was left behind by the people really coveted the throne, he would have restored his royal status long ago when his father was still alive, how could it be possible? Will the election be moved to this mind after the father's departure?

If I changed it to the past, I would definitely hurt him severely regardless of the difference between the monarchs and the ministers, but now he is leaning against me like this, as if returning to the pitiful appearance of what he did when he was a child, what about me Can you bear to say half a sentence?

I said: "Jing Yan, my sister promises you...I will try my best to find the prince and guard the country of the Xiao family..."

Jing Yan choked her throat, lowered her eyes and held the corner of my clothes and said, "...I know that my sister since I was a child only wanted to find a wishful man to live a peaceful life like other princesses... If it wasn't for me, neither would my father Will put my sister into that position in my sister's 28th year... Sister Sister, what you did for me... I never dared to forget..."

The wind blew gently and swirled above my head. I was afraid that he would be frozen, so I gathered the fleece robe over his shoulders for him, "Don't talk about this anymore... You know what I want, how can I know what you want? I don't know?"

He held the back of my hand, "But, next, what I said, sister must firmly remember..."

He took a deep breath, and then attached to me and whispered: "Before the emperor was dying, he actually had two edicts of the throne... One was to pass the throne to me, and the other was that of us. The emperor who still doesn't know his identity..."

I looked at Jing Yan in shock, "How is this possible?"

"This matter was told by my father himself..."

"But... the two edicts... if they appear at the same time, which one should be true?"

Jing Yan said: "I took my edict as the first... and the edict that was passed to the emperor's brother was written, if I suffer from accidents or become physically ill, after my death, it will be passed on to him... …The edict not only clarified his identity, but also explained the clear understanding of the exchange of the prince back then..."

I was taken aback for a while, and Fang said: "Father is the first to think for a long time, really no one can do it... Since the father is willing to let you know the existence of the edict, there is no reason not to tell you where to put the edict. , Otherwise, it won't tell you the meaning..."

"Yes... I always know... where the edict is hidden... It's just that I have never looked at it..." Seeing my frowning, he smiled weakly, "I'm afraid I will read it. Will violate the oath I made with my father, and can't help but cut the grass and root..."

I looked up at Jing Yan, "But you didn't do anything after all, did you?"

No wonder Jing Yan was so worried about that unknown emperor brother. If what is written in the edict was that Jing Yan succeeded to the throne after his death, then if he moved some thoughts and killed Jing Yan, he would naturally replace him. From this point of view, is it true that the emperor's father still trusts the emperor's character, or is the existence of this second edict, even the emperor himself does not know it?

"Since my brother has such an edict in his hand, why should he be afraid of Jing Lan? Duke secretly tells the trustworthy ministers of the court to announce the imperial edict in public, so why wait until I come back to do this? Come……"

Jing Yan said: "This is my father's personal entrustment to me... The second edict... Sister Huang, you should read it out in public..."

I was surprised, "Why?"

Jing Yan's blood color faded from the corners of her lips little by little, "This mystery, I am afraid that the emperor... will reveal it in person..."

He worked hard to cheer himself up and slowly took out a bright yellow satin scroll, "This is the edict written by my own hands...I wrote down the location of the edict of the father, so that the officials must follow the edict of the first emperor... After I die, as long as the emperor takes this scroll of my edict to the palace, the world... will not fall into the hands of Xiao Jinglan..."

As he said, his eyes closed slightly, I looked straight at him, not daring to blink, for fear that he would close his eyes in the blink of an eye, and would never be able to open it again, "Jing Yan..."

Jing Yan smiled at me slightly, with a dimple on her cheek, "The hour has not yet arrived, I won't go to sleep so soon... It's just... I'm a little tired..."

At this time, someone outside the door knocked gently three times, "The emperor, the princess, and the master Tao have heard the news of fireworks. King Qing is on his way back to the palace.
