Back Off, Let Me Come

All civil and military officials were a little numb.

Now it looks like everyone is lying and playing tricks.

"Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, do you... take this seriously?"

Since the Fourth Young Master holds the Zen edict written by Wu Xian himself, he is the legitimate heir. This seems a bit silly for refusing the previous few times. It could obviously save a lot of trouble, so why not hide it? The ministers had some doubts about the edict.

The fourth child also felt bitter in his heart that he couldn't express.

However, he knew very well that if he still had a chance to go down the steps, he would be thrown off the high platform and end up being shattered to pieces. He could only bite the bullet and continue to talk nonsense: "Of course it's serious! I didn't mention it, just because the edict from the youngest son of Zen arrived first! As a son, how can he disobey his biological father? As an elder brother, how can he bully his younger brother? At the moment, the country At this time of crisis, as a son and a minister, you should put the stability of the country first, rather than fighting for power. I really didn't want to cause more trouble, so I decided to hide the news. I never thought that people were unpredictable, and not everyone was willing to think so. …”

The "unpredictable people in people's hearts" mentioned by the fourth child are the fifth young master.

As soon as the fifth son heard that the Zen position was given to the youngest, his defense was broken. He couldn't wait to draw an army of soldiers and horses to force the palace, launched a palace coup, killed his brothers and concubine, and was so greedy for profit! He is different. He clearly holds the right to be the legitimate successor, but he chooses to suffer and endure for the sake of the overall situation. Comparing the two, isn't it a matter of character?

Say he confuses right and wrong?

Oh, the dead don't cry out.

What's wrong with letting yourself step on two feet?

The ministers thought the Fourth Young Master's words sounded strange, but the current evidence could not refute anything. Except for the Fourth Young Master's character and mind, which are comparable to those of a saint, there is nothing wrong with him. Even if you doubt it, now is not the time to worry about it.

Everyone looked at the clan elder with a livid face.

After several failed attacks, the latter never had the chance to get close to Lao Si, and was forced into a corner by the palace guards. Due to his special status, the soldiers only surrounded him but did not kill him. The actor bribed by the fourth child thought there was no hope, and never thought of a turn of events. It was recognized that Qingliu was stepping forward, and he sternly accused: "Your life is probably in vain, but you are a fool who is obsessed with recognizing shadows!"

As soon as Qingliu opened his head, blue veins popped up on the clan's forehead, as if he was suffering great pain, and his eyes were about to burst, which was heart-wrenching to see - this old guy wouldn't die from anger here, would he?

The more he looked at it, the more he seemed to be filled with rage.

The rest of Qingliu's words were stuck in his throat, and he didn't know whether he should spray or not.

"puff--"

Before he could decide whether to spray or not, the clansman sprayed first.

A mouthful of old blood spurted out from his mouth and spread all over the ground.

This sudden change even shocked the guards who surrounded the clan. It's just that they are of excellent quality and took the opportunity to step forward and capture the clan members, waiting for the Fourth Brother to be punished. No matter how murderous Lao Si is, he can't kill people directly now! Can't kill!

First, the character he just created was too good. From the perspective of a clan member, the old man only wanted to maintain the "legitimacy" of the Wu royal family and kill the rebels. As a magnanimous and benevolent new master, he must be tolerant and magnanimous; secondly, Wu Xian has to call the other party uncle, how can the fourth child, as a grandson, kill him whenever he says? Thirdly, the fourth child now needs the power of the clan to support him.

Giving a favor is sending a friendly signal.

As a result, Lao Si ordered his clan members to be temporarily detained.

The specific disposal needs to be discussed with Zong Zheng.

All the ministers praised him for his generosity.

The fourth child's smile was a little unnatural. When the chaotic meeting was over, he was surprised to find that his underwear was wet with sweat and clinging to his skin. Everything that happened today was beyond his plan! He couldn't wait to leave the court to find his husband for review. The civil and military ministers were also absent-minded, so the court meeting ended in an anticlimactic manner.

"...No matter what, the situation is good after all." Looking at the civil and military forces that dispersed, Lao Si's heart suddenly fell to the ground. He won this big bet! Before the court meeting began, he prepared for the worst—the plan failed and the body was found somewhere!

As a result, there are twists and turns.

The fourth child is not in a hurry to return to the inner court at the moment.

He sent his confidants to announce the good news to Mi and told her not to worry, and then summoned the biggest hero and savior of the day! If it weren't for him, I would really be in danger today. What Lao Si was even more confused about was why the other party had an edict in his hand?

The fourth child waited around but no one came.

"Where are the people?"

"Already leaving the palace."

"Leaving so fast?" The corner of Laosi's mouth twitched. The man left the palace without accepting the reward or thanking him. He was too busy and left the palace? Are you rushing to reincarnate? He was slandering in his heart, and the fourth child also knew that this move was very suspicious, "Then send someone to his house to invite someone!"

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

There were a lot of demonic styles today, and it was blowing one after another.

The great hero ran very fast, and the gentleman was nowhere to be found.

The husband must have been the first to know about the meeting. Her delay in showing up made the fourth child suspicious. He suppressed his inexplicable irritation and sent someone to look for him, but he didn't know that the person he was looking for was in the dungeon. This dungeon does not house ordinary prisoners but criminal clan members, so the living environment is quite friendly.

The space is spacious but not cramped, and the smell is not unpleasant.

The guard guarding the prisoner fell without warning.

A burly figure quietly appeared outside the cell door.

In the cell, the angry clan member opened his eyes, sat up with his elbows bent, and stared into the void in front of him. The burly figure looked at the dried blood on the corner of his clan's mouth and said, "Tragic! It's too tragic! Shen Youli is not a human being!"

After today's announcement, even Qi Cang could see who the three edicts were aimed at. They were not directed at Wu Xian and Gao Guo, but specifically at Mei Jinghe who performed the consummation ceremony! He spoke of sympathy and helped Mei Meng condemn Shen Tang, but his eyes were full of appreciation! Shen Youli's taste is too upright, and she likes the one who will retaliate! A gentleman's revenge is never too late after ten years, and a villain's revenge is never too late!

The clan's eyelids were raised, and his eyes were tilted upward to look at Qi Cang.

"Whose colleague are you?"

"My colleagues all ended badly."

The clan relative, Mei Meng, was angry again at his words. She vomited out blood again and her chest finally felt relieved. She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, endless thoughts rolling in her eyes.

Seeing that her momentum had not weakened, Qi Cang became more appreciative. He likes people who are so indomitable, that kind of hypocritical little bitch who seeks death and survival after being hit once. He is unlucky even if he sees her.

"This failed successfully, do you want to look for another chance?"

"Let's talk again, not in a short time."

Mei Meng covered her heart, which was in severe pain due to the backlash of Wen Qi, and frowned lightly with her charming eyebrows. Not only does the heart hurt, but the location of Danfu also aches. She didn't need to look inside to know that the Wen Palace must be in ruins at this moment, and repairing it would not take a day.

Qi Cang understood the meaning of Mei Meng's words.

"Hey, you still don't want to give up?"

What he confided before was all told to the dog.

Mei Meng shook his head: "Never give up on climbing to the top!"

She raised her eyes: "Unless you die!"

In this case, Qi Cang was too lazy to persuade him. As he said, his colleagues would not end well. He held the dungeon's iron door railing, poured a little force into it, and cut off the fine iron as thick as his arm. Mei Meng covered the injury and staggered to her feet.

Just after leaving the dungeon, the sunlight poured down on her body, making her pale face almost transparent due to blood loss. She looked back at the location where the court meeting was held in the outer court. Qi Cang teased: "Why, you can't bear to leave my husband? That's right, this kid has more than just respect and admiration for you. You are young and handsome, and you can also do things..."

Mei Meng's weak voice interrupted his ramblings.

"What happened to that edict?"

"What's the letter from the fourth child? I guess only he knows it. Maybe he doesn't know it himself. You have to ask Shen Youli about this." Qi Cang is only responsible for watching the fun and not responsible for anything else. "Are you suspicious? , is he actually wary of you?"

In the third edict, even Qi Cang slapped his thigh and shouted, "Damn it."

"Beware of taking advantage of him, there is always one." Mei Meng's mind changed and she made a plan, "I want to teach him the last lesson!"

Qi Cang didn't know Mei Meng's plan, but he also guessed that the fourth child would be miserable.

Mei Meng added: "And the person who took out the edict!"

This great hero, who was remembered by both Mei Meng and Lao Si, hurriedly returned home. Before entering the house, he was still a man, but he suddenly transformed into a female Jiaoer. Apart from her, there was also a man huddled in the corner who was tied up by Yanling Wuhua. This man's appearance and figure are exactly the same as the civil servant who took out the imperial edict in the hall today.

The woman tore off the seal of the spirit of speech from the man's mouth.

The man can take a breather.

"Follow me or die here!"

The woman pressed her thumb against the sword grid and pushed out the sword.

Then a sharp blade lay across the side of the man's neck.

The man gasped: "Bah! Stop—"

There was a flash of white light, the man's eyes suddenly opened wide, and a thin bloodshot appeared on his neck. He tried to open his mouth to say something, but the bloody thread was opened by the spurting blood, and the skin and flesh of the wound were turned out, and the bones were deeply visible. The woman gave him a pleasant surprise: "I said you either come with me or die here. Why don't you believe me?"

The woman raised her hands to perform the sutra, blocking all the voices that the man was about to shout. The man's throat was cut and he lost blood. After struggling for a while, he died completely. The woman put the sword in the man's hand, stood up and left the place.

The body in the study was discovered half a quarter of an hour later.

The fourth child was extremely shocked when he received the news.

"Suicide?"

The confidant reported back: "It seems from the scene that he committed suicide, but it is also possible that he was silenced. His subordinates sent people to torture the servants in his house, and they all said that there was nothing strange in recent days. Only two days ago, he brought back a A woman."

"Where is the woman?"

"disappeared."

"Has the woman's identity been found out?"

A confidant said: "It is said that it was his first love affair."

Piecing together the information provided by his wife and servants, the man went on a study trip a few years ago and met a girl in a rain pavilion somewhere. It started out as a very vulgar talent and beauty, and the process was considered romantic, but conflicts arose when it came time to talk about marriage. . The man said that he wanted a wife who was well-matched to his family, but the girl was from a commoner background, not even a poor family. Plus, with a letter from home urging him to marry her, he left before he had time to explain. I never thought that this woman would find a man after many years and be brought back by him.

The fourth child asked: "Besides these, is there anything else?"

For example, how did the edict get into the hands of a man?

His expectations were doomed to be disappointed.

The confidant didn't even find any clues. Seeing the gloomy expression on the old man's face, the confidant hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please forgive me and tolerate it for two days. I will definitely get to the bottom of the matter."

The fourth child knew in his heart that it would be useless even if he tolerated for twenty days, let alone two days. This matter was destined to end in an anticlimax.

He took a deep breath to suppress his excess emotions.

Just as he was about to wave to his confidants to go down, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace: "Your Highness, Your Highness, something bad is going on!"

"What's wrong? How inappropriate is it to make noise!"

Seeing that the visitor was a close confidant of his mother Mi, he didn't have an attack.

After the visitor finished speaking, the fourth child felt like the world was spinning, and he held the corner of the table with his hands to keep from falling down. After a long while, he asked with pale lips and scarlet eyes: "You said - is it all true?"

How can it be?

how could it be possible!

The fourth child waved away the confidant who stepped forward to help him.

He almost rolled up and walked to the inner court with staggering steps.

Passing through the palace passage, the corpses here have been cleaned up, and the blood stains on the ground have also been cleaned up, but the air is always filled with a nauseating and stomach-churning smell of blood. The fourth child turned pale after smelling it several times, and forced himself to go to the inner court to see his mother, Mi.

There were also several corpses covered with white cloth lying neatly in the hall.

News came from the palace that something big happened in the inner court.

Three more concubines died.

For the fourth child, he didn't care as long as the dead woman was not his biological mother or sister, but this time he had to care because the three dead women had close relationships with the previous dynasty's wealthy families! There is also an interest relationship with the Lao Wu family. Their death means that he loses the opportunity to ease relations with the Laowu mother clan! Not only cannot he win over the families behind the three of them, but he also risks being stabbed in the back by them! Just thinking about it makes his skin crawl!

"How could they die!"

Lao Si tried his best to suppress his fear and anger.

Mi said: "I don't know either."

She really doesn't know.

"When they die, we, mother and son, will also be buried with them!"

The family behind them will not give up!

Last night, we were able to take advantage of the chaos to kill a few people, eradicate dissidents, and put the blame on Old Five. How can the dead settle the accounts now?

The mother and son looked at each other from a distance of two feet, and Mi saw the negative emotions welling up in his eyes, which made her heartache even if it was not a matter of blame. But I can't care about this at the moment: "However, there are also doubts about the candidate. Have you seen your aunt?"

There was a bang.

Something exploded in the fourth child's mind.

He took a step back almost numbly.

The dark clouds that had been hanging over my heart since the end of the court meeting expanded crazily, swallowing up the remaining hope. The fourth child's mind kept flashing back to what he had done since he appeared, and there was no one that didn't help him, and there was no one that didn't help him... This man was smart and wise, which was exactly what he lacked. The husband is both a staff member and an elder. She is the only one who understands some of the troubles that he cannot talk to his mother.

To some extent, he became more attuned to his husband.

result--

"They're all liars!"

Mi said: "It's because my mother knows people but doesn't understand them."

——

"Done!"

On the third day of the second palace change in Gao Kingdom, Shen Tang received a letter from a mysterious blue bird. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of dots and horizontal lines. She read the ten lines of the encrypted letter at a glance, her eyebrows completely relaxed, "Gaoguo has been very lively recently."

I just had some time to spare and went to Shangnan to have a look.
