After giving the order, the armored troops swarmed forward and were about to take action. Emperor Xiaochun roared: "Stop."
After all, he is an emperor, and he has an innate temperament of not being angry, not to mention that he is really angry.
The Iron Armored Army was a little confused for a moment, stopped, and stood there at a loss.
Zheng Huan was not angry at all and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I just understand His Royal Highness King Jin's hard work and would like to ask His Highness to rest. Besides, Your Majesty should take medicine."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and another young eunuch came up with a medicine bowl in his hand.
"Zheng Huan, what kind of medicine did you give my father?" Shen Que glared at him.
"That is naturally a good medicine that is good for your majesty's body." Zheng Huan paced with his hands behind his hands, "Don't worry, your highness, what I want is not life and death, I want a just and fair word."
The words couldn't be more clear at this point. He wanted the consent of Emperor Xiaochun and even everyone, so that he could take over the throne legitimately.
"It's getting late today. Everyone, please go back and rest. If you have any questions, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Zheng Huan watched Emperor Xiaochun finish the decoction, clapped his hands and walked out triumphantly. Suddenly he looked back at Emperor Xiaochun and Li Luansong and said, "You two really have a deep love between father and son. Why don't we take advantage of tonight to think about what to do?" When dealing with fellow ministers, both parties save face and vitality."
After saying that, he strode away, and Shen Que and Li Luansong were also taken away.
Before father and son could say a word when they met, they were separated again. Emperor Xiaochun fainted on the spot.
In the Yikun Palace, Li Luanhong led people to break in. He originally wanted to take the imperial concubine Zheng Wanren away. At least he would no longer be controlled by Zheng Huan, so that Li Luanfeng could carry out bold and bold actions without any scruples.
However, the devil is always taller than the Taoist. Li Luanhong watched Li Luanfeng walk out of Yikun Palace. When he led people in, he could not find Zheng Wanren, but was captured alive by the armored army who had ambushed him in advance.
When he was escorted to Zheng Huan, Li Luanhong still refused to accept the offer and stood stiffly with his neck in his hands, refusing to kneel.
Zheng Huan struck hard with the hilt of his sword, which hurt Li Luanhong, so he knelt down on one knee, but his upper body was still upright.
"I didn't see it. Your Highness the Fifth Prince is so proud." Zheng Huan sarcastically said, "Do you think you are unnoticed? To tell you the truth, this general has been watching you since the first day you escaped. .”
"Zheng Huan is a thief who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country. He deceives the imperial concubine and attempts to seize the throne..."
Zheng Huan strangled Li Luanhong's neck with one hand, forcing him to speak back.
"In terms of mental and martial arts among you brothers, only Li Luansong can barely get by. As for you..." He sneered, "It's better to take a rest."
"Your father is right, you are just tall but not brainy."
Li Luanhong was captured by Zheng Huan.
On the other side, Li Luanfeng was waiting for Lao Wu in the room. He asked Lao Wu to bring his mother and concubine over. As long as his mother and concubine were safe, he could boldly break up with Zheng Huan.
But what was waiting was Zheng Huan and Lao Wu, who was already covered in bruises.
The man had been beaten to a bloody pulp and was thrown to the ground. It had only been a few hours, but the situation had become like this, and Li Luanfeng couldn't accept it.
The imperial concubine was also brought over, with tears on her face:
"Did you ask Hong'er to assassinate the mother-in-law? Just because the mother-in-law asked you to follow your uncle's arrangements?"
"Concubine, that's not the case. How could a child do such a thing?" Li Luanfeng argued, "I asked my fifth brother to pick up Concubine. I want to protect Concubine."
"Do you need to bring so many people with you to pick up your concubine, with swords and swords drawn?" Zheng Wanren burst into tears, looking at her son, feeling very strange at the moment, "You want to see my concubine, you come to see me, why do you have to bring people to tie him up?" Mother concubine?"
I can't explain it clearly, I can't explain it at all.
Li Luanfeng glared at Zheng Huan fiercely: "It's you, you did it all. You deceived my mother and concubine, and beat Lao Wu like this. What did he do wrong?"
"I sneaked into the imperial concubine's palace late at night to assassinate him. It's merciful that I didn't kill him." Zheng Huan stood up straight, with his thumbs on his armor's waistband, and said scornfully: "You two, a pair of ungrateful things." .”
Li Luanfeng tremblingly helped Lao Wu up and held him in his arms. His clothes were covered with blood. Li Luanhong's eyes had been swollen to a slit, and his beautiful facial features were unclear. His face was covered with blood, and his whole body was covered with blood. She kept twitching in his arms.
"Second brother."
"Lao Wu, I'm sorry, it was my second brother who hurt you."
"Don't... leave me alone."
Zheng Huan stroked his hands: "What a wonderful brotherhood, but it's a pity that they are all brainless idiots."
"Li Luanfeng, I'll give you one last chance." Zheng Huan showed an impatient look on his face, "How you choose depends on you."
"Feng'er." Zheng Wanren said, "I beg you, concubine, just listen to your uncle. He won't harm you."
"Second brother... don't." Li Luanhong tried his best to stop him.
The road has reached a dead end, Zheng Huan's true face has been revealed, his mother-in-law does not believe him, and the only one on his side, Lao Wu, has been tortured beyond recognition.
There were chaotic footsteps outside the door. Zheng Huan took a look and said, "All your people have been controlled by me. You still want to break up and fight with me with just a few people. Li Luanfeng, are you crazy?"
There is no way forward and no way out.
The desperate situation of life is so naked before our eyes.
Looking back on how I ended up like this step by step, I can't remember where I made the mistake, and I can't figure it out.
"Feng'er." Zheng Wanren cried and begged, but was speechless.
"Uncle will give you another chance, you choose." Zheng Huan slowly drew his sword, and the sound of cold iron rubbing against the hilt was long and harsh.
The long sword pointed at Li Luanhong's neck: "Feng'er, if you don't cooperate with your uncle, then he and your uncle will not be able to survive."
Zheng Huan threatened Li Luanhong with his life.
"Second brother." Li Luanhong looked at him struggling, "Don't worry about me. I will be happy following my second brother in my life. Since I was young, only my second brother has never abandoned me."
"Every time my father scolded me, you protected me. Every time I got into trouble, it was my second brother who helped me. You were the only one who encouraged me on the training field. My mother passed away early, and I regard my second brother as my closest relative."
"In these years, I have never considered myself a prince. My father has disliked me since I was a child. Even the maids and eunuchs bullied me. It was my second brother who gave me the status of a prince, so that I will never be looked down upon by others again. "
"Second brother, my younger brother will follow you all his life, so he will not make things difficult for you. Don't listen to him, he will only use you..."
This is the smartest thing Li Luanhong said in his life.
After saying this, Li Luanhong used all his strength to hit the sword's edge, blood spurted out from his neck, and he instantly fell to the ground, Yin Shi was bright red.
Li Luanfeng went crazy for an instant, filled with grief and despair... He wanted to resist and seek death, but it had no effect. He was immediately controlled by Zheng Huan and sent to prison.
Zheng Wanren fainted and was imprisoned in Yikun Palace by Zheng Huan.
*
The stars are bright and shining with lonely light.
There is a side hall in the palace called Jiuhua Hall, located in the southeast corner of the palace. The courtyard is not large and there is only a three-story palace. The first floor is for living, and the second and third floors are filled with various ancient books and books.
Li Luansong lived here for a while when he was young.
This time Zheng Huan locked him and Shen Que here.
"I didn't expect His Highness to have lived here." Shen Que gently ran his hand across the neat rows of book spines and joked: "Is Your Highness reading here?"
Li Luansong nodded and followed her, his thoughts returning to more than ten years ago.
"When I was a child, I loved reading. I would lock myself here every day without leaving the house. My father thought that I would become a fool if I continued to read like this, so he forced me to practice martial arts and join the army. When I was thirteen, he forced me to go to the battlefield. One war lasts ten years.”
"Oh, it turns out that His Highness is not someone who doesn't like to study, so why did he refuse to study later?" Shen Que became more and more curious.
"Because I don't want my brothers to think that I am different from them."
"Oh, it turns out that His Highness is so scheming. He must be thinking well for the sake of brotherhood." Shen Que covered his mouth and smiled, and Li Luansong slightly tilted the corner of his mouth.
Li Luansong looked very silent and gloomy today. Shen indeed thought it was because he was captured by Zheng Huan, so he tried to persuade him:
"Your Highness, don't worry, let Zheng Huan be proud for a while." She said in a relaxed tone, "It's rare to be able to spend such leisurely time with Your Highness. I'm very happy."
"Shen Que."
He called her name, and Shen Que turned around.
"Aren't you afraid?" he asked.
The moonlight shines on his face through the window, showing tension, anxiety, and worry. Shen is indeed familiar with his own expression.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Zheng Huan will be harmful to us?" Shen Que's voice was tender and gentle. She really didn't feel afraid. "I'm not afraid. There is nothing terrible about being with His Highness. You must have planned it."
"Then what if my plan fails, or..." Li Luansong asked, "Do you just believe me so much?"
"Yes." Shen Que nodded and looked at him seriously: "If you die, I will die, if you live, I will marry. Your Highness, you remember."
At that moment, Li Luansong clenched his fists in his sleeves and tried to restrain himself. There was an idea that had been lingering in his mind for many days. As the situation developed, the idea became stronger. However, if he did that, he might lose Shen Que.
She was right, he had a plan, but if the plan failed, he would never want to watch Shen Que die with him.
If the misfortune comes to something, he just wants to save Shen Que's life so that she can live, even if she will hate him for the rest of her life, he will not hesitate.
Therefore, Li Luansong actually made two preparations, but he couldn't tell her this, because if she knew about it, she would definitely not agree.
"I trust Your Highness, I will trust you no matter what you do." Shen Que said, "Although I don't know your plan, I am willing to follow you."
She was very determined and looked out the window with a very calm expression. She had regarded him as a big tree that she could rely on.
Li Luansong gritted his teeth and asked, "What if I fail, or you find out that I lied to you."
"Well..." Shen Que tilted his head and thought seriously, "Winning or losing is a common thing for a military strategist. If you fail, just fail. I will accompany your highness."
She turned her face, held his face, and looked at it seriously: "But I believe you will not fail, let alone that you will lie to me. You won't, I believe you."
Sometimes this unconditional trust is also a burden and pressure.
The heavy words and heavy trust made Li Luansong feel as if there was a huge weight in his heart, weighing him down at the bottom of his heart. He felt aggrieved and depressed, but he could not move it away no matter what, allowing him to grow bigger and bigger...
The evening breeze blew on his face, blowing his hair. Li Luansong stretched out his hand, and the gentle wind flowed through his fingers.
"I have never liked anyone in my life, and you are the first and only one." He said, "I feel very lucky."
"Really?" Shen Que stared at him, "Why do I not believe it so much?"
He is handsome, the eldest son of the emperor, and a great general with great military achievements. He is simply the god of Daye. How many young ladies from famous families talk about him in private, and how many people make secret glances at him and take the initiative to embrace him. Shen Que saw it with his own eyes.
But he said that he really had never experienced it before. “If I have to mention one, it would be when I was thirteen years old and led an army to fight for the first time as a general. At that time, I was very nervous and under a lot of pressure. I fought very seriously and very seriously. I worked hard, but my experience was limited after all. Injuries and food became the last straw for me. Seeing that I was about to be defeated, I was ready to die. At that time, a father and daughter fell from the sky and took me with them. Come with supplies to support us.”
"They brought plenty of food, doctors and medicine to treat the injuries and illnesses of my Shuofang Army soldiers who were on the battlefield for the first time."
"The little lady was very young, and I don't remember her appearance now. At that time, I thought she was as beautiful as a Bodhisattva, sweet and soft, but she was so young but could see a doctor, and she was the one giving orders next to her father. "
"A small person can diagnose, perform acupuncture, and prescribe medicine with ease... he can strategize with ease. It's really amazing."
"Maybe it's worship, or maybe it's the father and daughter who gave me the power to be reborn. I've kept them in my heart for many years."
A gentle, happy smile spread across his face, and his eyes sparkled with stars.
"It's a pity that I never met them again. They left before I could even say thank you."
"Your Highness is talking about the enemy Budalu Army in Huanggang City in the second year of prosperity?" Shen Que looked at him with a smile, then frowned and asked: "That's not right, that young lady was clearly dressed as a young man. Are you How did you get it?"
