"Prince Ning..."

Emperor Yun Qing opened his mouth like a fish jumping out of the water, frightened and helpless.

"Father, why have you forgotten that my son is no longer a prince, but a county prince?" Jiang Luo put his sword across the neck of Emperor Yun Qing. As a son of a man, he led troops into the palace to plot Patricide, something that would have been infamy for thousands of years, was done by Jiang Luo without any psychological pressure, and he even had a somewhat maniacal smile on his face.

"You beast, do you want to kill your father?" Emperor Yun Qing gasped in anger. He looked at his crazy son with wide eyes, "Are you crazy?"

"I have been crazy for a long time. When you favored the prince and gave him all the good things, I was already crazy." The twisted smile on Jiang Luo's face turned into endless resentment, "The son and the prince are not the same." We are brothers. If you have any good things since childhood, the prince will always come first. Have you ever thought that I am also your son?!"

Emperor Yun Qing looked at Jiang Luo like this and did not dare to speak.

"It was just that when I was a child. Later, when the prince got married, you asked him to marry the Shi family, whose mother's family was prominent and virtuous. What about me?" Jiang Luo roared jealously, "What kind of thing is the Xie family? Let me marry, even if I don't want to at all, I will marry. But why did you have someone cut Xie Dalang's position shortly before I was about to get married? You can't wait for the whole world to know that your second wife Your son is just a joke and has no place in your heart?"

Emperor Yun Qing did not expect that his second son would have so many complaints. Over the years, he deliberately cultivated only the prince and alienated the concubine, just to stop his other sons from seizing the throne, so as not to follow the same path as he and the late emperor. He thought that this would avoid the tragedy that happened to him and his ancestors, but who knew it would lead to such a big hidden danger.

"If you retreat now, my father will not hold you accountable."

"No accountability? Ha!" Jiang Luo laughed sarcastically, "Do you think I am still a child from more than ten years ago and I will believe whatever you say?!"

He liked the gadgets that neighboring countries paid tribute to, and his father agreed to give them to him. However, because the prince had done his homework well and looked at the gadgets a few more times, the things became the prince's.

Later the prince learned that he liked it, and asked someone to send something over as if to show off. He was so angry that he smashed it, and as a result, he got another scolding from his father. There were so many things like this that he didn't even want to recall them again.

"Stop talking nonsense, I want you to write the Zen edict now," Jiang Luo pressed down with his sword, revealing a long blood-red wound on Emperor Yunqing's neck. When Jiang Luo saw the wound, not only did he not regret it at all, but his eyes lit up, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to write. Anyway, the prince is in my hands now. If I am impatient to wait, let the prince go down and ask questions first." You pave the way, and when the time comes, you won’t be lonely walking together.”

"Jiang Luo, I am your father, and the prince is your brother!" Emperor Yun Qing did not dare to move anymore. He saw that what Jiang Luo said was not a lie, and he really wanted them to die.

"With power, what's the use of father and brother coming?" Jiang Luo sneered, "I admired you when I was a child, how could you ever think less of me? Now you talk nonsense to me about these useless blood relationships, I no longer like hearing it."

"Don't talk nonsense," Jiang Luo dragged Emperor Yun Qing off the bed and asked two young eunuchs to help him to the imperial case, "Write."

"Beasts!" Emperor Yun Qing was wearing only a single coat and was shivering from the cold. He glanced at the two little eunuchs, who were so frightened that they knelt down.

"Father, how long has this been, and you still show off your power to two eunuchs?" Jiang Luo put the imperial pen into Emperor Yun Qing's hand, "Hurry up and write, if you don't write again after burning the incense, I'll let someone chop off one of the prince's fingers."

"Jiang Luo, I don't just have to write the imperial edict for the Zen throne. The left and right ministers and six ministers must be present to issue it at the same time, and finally it will be announced to the world." Emperor Yunqing looked at Jiang Luo, "You ask me to write these now, What's the use?"

"I have the final say whether it's useful or not, not you." Seeing Emperor Yun Qing's unwillingness to write, Jiang Luo couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, "It seems that the prince doesn't have much status in your heart. You can say that. What you love most is not the prince, but your throne."

Emperor Yun Qing glared at Jiang Luo: "Shut up."

"Now that I am a swordsman and you are a fish, it is better for you, father, to be gentler to your subjects." Jiang Luo walked to the dragon bed and took out a sachet from under the pillow. "Princess Fule is an embroiderer like this." , is it worthy for you, my father, to hide her like a treasure? Fortunately, Banhua is your niece, otherwise I would have suspected whether you had ulterior motives."

"You bastard, how can you say anything?" Emperor Yun Qing stared at the sachet in Jiang Luo's hand, his face flushed with anger. But he didn't dare to get up because two soldiers with knives stopped him.

He knew in his heart that the fact that Jiang Luo was so arrogant in the palace at this moment meant that the entire harem was under his control.

"Where did Commander Yang and Shi Jin go?" Emperor Yun Qing couldn't believe that with these two people here, Jiang Luo could still control the entire harem silently.

"Commander Yang?" Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face became weird, "You are talking about your lackey, he is probably already waiting for you on the Huangquan Road."

"As for Shi Jin..." Jiang Luo sneered, "He's not on duty tonight, and you didn't know that?"

Emperor Yun Qing really didn't know. He looked at Jiang Luo as if he was looking at the biggest mistake of his life.

Jiang Luo didn't care at all about his look. Seeing that Emperor Yun Qing didn't write, he turned around and said, "Come here, bring the things up."

A guard wearing iron armor brought a tray, which was also covered with a black brocade handkerchief. He didn't know what was put in it. Jiang Luo opened the veil in front of Emperor Yun Qing, and there were three **** fingers lying inside.

Emperor Yun Qing almost vomited in disgust. He turned his head away, but Jiang Luo didn't want to let him go. "This is the finger of the **** chief next to you. When someone brings it to you later, it won't be the eunuch's finger." ."

"Jiang Luo, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Didn't I tell you to write a Zen edict," Jiang Luo said with a sneer, "Father, why do you need to ask again?"

Emperor Yun Qing’s hand holding the pen kept shaking, and soon the blank imperial edict was stained with ink spots.

"Father, please don't shake your hands." Jiang Luo took away the blank imperial edict and placed another copy in front of him. "My father has a bad temper. If my father continues to shake like this, I will also Don't know what will happen."

Emperor Yun Qing looked up at the palace gate. It was dark outside and as quiet as a tomb.

He wrote word by word, and when he reached the third word "Biography", his movements suddenly stopped.

"Boy, what does this world mean to you?"

"Of course it is the supreme right." Jiang Luo asked, "Otherwise, what do you think it is?"

Emperor Yunqing couldn't write the next word, "Have you ever thought that you would regret it one day?"

"Regret?" Jiang Luo laughed with unknown meaning, "Of course you had any regrets when you asked the secret agent to poison the prince-in-law who had an old illness? And Cheng Anbo back then, why did he die? In your hand?"

Emperor Yunqing's expression changed drastically, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "How... do you know?"

"Because when you ordered the eradication of Dening's consort, I hid in the corner of the main hall. As for Cheng Anbo..." He raised his eyebrows, "Isn't Rong Xia your illegitimate son? The cause of Cheng Anbo's death is a mystery. His eldest son He didn't wait for the title until his death. When it came to Rong Xia, he didn't downgrade him to the title. Don't you just want to leave the title to Rong Xia?"

"You keep saying that you like Banhua all day long, but if she knew that her grandfather was killed by you and the late emperor, do you think she would hate you?" Jiang Luo put the purse in his hand on the candle Burning under the fire, "I don't know if Princess Dening will regret risking her life to save you if she knows the truth of the matter?"

Emperor Yun Qing looked pale and could not speak a word.

"You called me a beast, but in fact I'm just imitating you," Jiang Luo laughed out loud as he watched his wallet burn up bit by bit, "I am a little beast, you are a big beast, and the late emperor is the old man. Beasts, we, the Jiang family, are all beasts."

"Is the affair between the prince and the concubine a plan of yours?"

"What, you finally remembered to ask about this?" Jiang Luo smiled and looked at Emperor Yun Qing, who had disheveled hair and a face that was black and blue from the cold, "Do you really not believe the prince, or do you need to not believe the prince? ”

"Although I don't look down on the prince's effeminate temperament, he is indeed more humane than you in doing things," Jiang Luo smiled proudly, "He is just a bit stupid."

Emperor Yun Qing's face turned pale, and muddy tears flowed from his dim eyes.

"It seems that my father is not in a good state of mind. I will ask someone to help you wake up."

A basin of water soaked in ice cubes was brought in, and Jiang Luo pointed to Emperor Yunqing's bare feet, "Here, let me soak your Majesty's feet."

Just after midnight, the pitiful cry of Emperor Yunqing came from Dayue Palace.

In the Queen's Palace, the Queen was sealed in the palace by heavy guards. She could not convey news to the outside world and did not know what was happening outside. Although the soldiers guarding her didn't make things difficult for her, their attitude was rude and they wouldn't let her out no matter what she said.

"Your Majesty," the palace maid supported the swaying queen, "please rest for a while first."

The queen shook her head and walked to the window with a tired look. She didn't know whether she was waiting for the arrival of reinforcements or the bad news that she didn't dare to hear.

Time passed little by little, when the rising sun rose in the east and the main door of the court opened wide, what the courtiers saw was not the prince overseeing the country, nor His Majesty recovering from illness, but Prince Ning in dragon robes. The dragon robe worn by Prince Ning was tailored to fit him. It was obviously tailor-made and he didn't know how long it took to prepare it.

"Prince Ning, do you want to rebel?" A minister with a somewhat stubborn temper pointed at Prince Ning and cursed, "Why don't you get down from the throne quickly."

"Unbridled, from today on, I am the emperor of Daye," Jiang Luo raised his chin, "Come here, take out the imperial edict of the Supreme Emperor and read it."

"The second emperor, Jiang Luo, has benevolence and righteousness, and has the talent to govern the world..."

After the courtiers listened to this imperial edict in bewilderment, His Majesty issued an order to demote Prince Ning. How could it be possible for him to inherit the throne? One Chaochen was dissatisfied and wanted to enter the palace to see His Majesty, but the palace guards were extremely tight. As soon as they touched the edge of the palace gate, they were kicked out by the guards.

But the more this happened, the more everyone began to wonder if something had happened in the palace, otherwise why couldn't they even enter the palace gate. In the past, there were usually eunuchs out of the palace to do business, but no one was seen in the past two days. It seemed that the whole palace was quiet.

King Ning took control of the palace.

Everyone has thought of this, but they dare not publicize it directly. In the end, the faction supporting the prince couldn't help but stood up and began to question King Ning. Prince Ning had a violent temper when he was a prince, let alone an emperor now. He immediately ordered those officials who questioned him to be imprisoned. For a time, the whole capital was in a state of panic.

On the fifth day after King Ning ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to make the queen the queen mother, and also rewarded several of his favorite concubines. However, the main concubine Xie has not yet received the title of queen, so she is not embarrassed. Stay in the palace. All the officials who followed Jiang Luo received large rewards. Except for these officials, no one else in the court dared to speak out at all.

After the reward, Jiang Luo began to issue an edict of rebuke. The first person he wanted to reprimand was Rong Xia, but because Rong Xia's status among scholars was too high, Jiang Luo was stopped by his cronies in the end. In the end, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and made three decrees to demote Ban Huai.

The first step was to demote Ban Huai to the rank of Marquis.

Secondly, Ban Huai was demoted to count.

The third step was to directly deprive Ban Huai of his title, take back the house given to him by the royal family, and start ransacking the house.

The Ban family, which had been prosperous in Daye Dynasty for hundreds of years, finally collapsed in an instant. However, since the Ban family did not live in Yurouxiang, they were not charged with any crime other than ransacking their homes. But this change, in the eyes of others, was already a huge blow.

Some people sympathize with the Ban family, while others sympathize with Ban Hua. How can she hold her head high in her husband's family when her natal family has lost power?

However, what no one expected was that on the day Ban's family was ransacked, the Ban family looked calm and seemed not to be surprised at all. As for the various elderly people raised in the Ban family, they had already been enriched by the Ban family and arranged to move elsewhere.

A lot of people have had their homes confiscated recently. It is said that anyone who has offended Jiang Luo over the years will either have their homes confiscated or be demoted again and again. These people were crying and grieving, and Ban's calm and indifferent reaction was simply a source of fresh air among the victims.

Perhaps because Jiang Luo was so unpopular, the Ban family's reaction actually attracted a lot of praise. Some talented people even wrote two poems to praise the Ban family for how they were not afraid of authority and how coldly they faced evil forces. Everyone who saw the poem was eager to applaud, but they actually forgot that the Ban family was once a member of the powerful.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the Ban family is now the enemy of the enemy.

After the Ban family was ransacked, they were picked up by the servants of Cheng'anhou Mansion. However, the Ban family did not want to implicate Rong Xia and did not want to live in the Cheng'an Marquis Mansion. In the end, Rong Xia had no choice but to buy a large house in the capital for the Ban family to live in temporarily.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law," Rong Xia looked at the villa and said with some guilt, "I have wronged you."

"Don't be so polite as a family." Ban Huai happily took out a few banknotes from his belt. He had someone sew them in specially. The officers and soldiers who ransacked his house didn't make it too difficult for him, so he just He came out wearing clothes with banknotes sewn on them.

He stuffed all the banknotes into Yin's hand: "Madam, these are all for your safekeeping."

Yin took the bank note without hesitation. She looked at Rong Xia and said, "It's not convenient for us to go to the Hou Mansion now, so I'll ask you to take good care of Huahua."

"Please rest assured, mother-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely take care of her," Rong Xia said as a junior, not showing any signs of neglect just because the Ban family was in a downturn, "Huahua's health has improved a lot in recent days, and she can be used every time For half a bowl of rice, you can still use some meat."

"This child has been picky since she was a child. It's probably a lot of effort for you to coax her these days."

"Huahua is very good, and it's easy to treat her." Rong Xia smiled.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Yin finally felt relieved.

After settling down with Ban’s family, Rong Xia hurried back home. Rong Xia didn't know how to tell Ban Hua about the confiscation of Ban's house. He was worried about her body that had not yet recovered and was stimulated by this incident.

"Are you back?" Banhua, wearing a thick brocade robe, huddled on the chaise longue and watched folk artists juggling. Seeing Rong Xia come in, she stretched out her hand to call him over. But the brocade robe on her body was a little loose, and half of her arm was exposed when she stretched out her hand.

Rong Xia walked over and shook her palm, making sure her hands were not cold before saying, "Did you sneak some snacks today?"

"Am I someone who can't keep my mouth shut?" Banhua turned her face proudly, "I'm not a two or three-year-old child."

"Well, I know you are a child of seventeen or eighteen years old," Rong Xia smiled and picked her up, and the two of them went back to the bedroom. Rong Xia tucked her into the bed, "I'll let you know what you want to use at noon. People do it for you."

"I don't have a good appetite today. Let the people in the kitchen make something appetizing and refreshing." Banhua glanced at Rong Xia doubtfully, "Are you hiding something from me?"

With this hesitant look on his face, he didn’t look like he was okay.

"Huahua..." Rong Xia rubbed her soft cheek, "Something happened today. Don't be too excited when you hear it."

"Oh?" Banhua raised his eyebrows, "Did someone change the throne, or did my father offend someone else?"

Rong Xia:......

"Huh?" Banhua was even more puzzled, "Am I really right?"

Why else didn’t Rong Xia speak?

"A few days ago, the Supreme Emperor issued a decree for Prince Ning to succeed to the throne."

Ban Hua's hand holding on to the quilt stopped, and she looked at Rong Xia with wide eyes: "You mean... Prince Ning?"

Rong Xia nodded silently, but his expression was very calm, as if the person who ascended the throne was not a prince with whom he had any quarrel, but an unrelated stranger.

"Where is the prince?"

"No one has seen the prince. Shi Chonghai has been removed from the post of prime minister and has been appointed magistrate elsewhere. Shi Jin has also been sent to the border."

"Jiang Luo is mentally ill, so he is letting the Shi family who support the prince leave at this time?" Even if Banhua thinks he has no political consciousness, he knows that he must not let the Shi family leave at this time. This is undoubtedly letting the tiger return to the mountain.

"Perhaps Prince Ning feels that this will further humiliate the Shi family."

"But this will only humiliate his not very bright mind."

"Is there anything else?"

Rong Xia was silent for a moment: "Within three days after Prince Ning ascended the throne, he issued three edicts to denounce his father-in-law. Today, the Jingting Palace was raided..."

"Has your home been ransacked?" Banhua looked at Rong Xia in a daze, and suddenly nodded, "So it's like this...It's like this..."

She had always felt that the order of her dreams was chaotic and illogical. Only at this moment did she realize that the Ban family would have been stripped of their title, but it was not the rebellious new emperor who had stripped their title, but the one who had always been stripped of their title. Jiang Luo was at odds with the Ban family.

"Huahua, don't be sad. As long as I am here, I will take care of Ban's family." Rong Xia saw her smiling and crying, worried that she would be too sad, "Believe me, I will never let my father-in-law My mother-in-law has been wronged."

"I'm not sad," Banhua looked at Rong Xia and actually smiled, "I believe you."

Rong Xia could see that Banhua was really not sad. Her eyes were as bright as stars, and there was a brilliance that he couldn't understand. Such Huahua confused and fascinated him, and he couldn't help but hug her into his arms, "Huahua, if you have anything to say, you must tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."

"Then I want to eat goose webs today. You can ask someone to do it."

"Okay." Rong Xia immediately agreed, turned around and went out to order the servants waiting outside.

Ban Hua got up from the bed, walked to the closet, opened the door with double flowers carved on it, bent down and took out a wooden box at the bottom.

"Huahua," Rong Xia walked to Banhua and helped her put the wooden box on the table, "What's in here?"

"A set of clothes," Banhua gently rubbed the lid of the box, "I have someone make a set of clothes for you." After saying that, she opened the lid of the box, and inside was a set of gorgeous black brocade robes. , the brocade robe is embroidered with auspicious clouds in dark patterns, and every stitch and thread demonstrates its low-key luxury.

Rong Xia didn't expect that what was in this box was just a set of clothes, a set of brocade clothes packed in a golden nanmu box.

"I've never known whether I should try this outfit on you," Banhua turned to look at Rong Xia with a smile, "because you look good in light-colored clothes."

Rong Xia felt that Banhua wanted to say more than just this.

"But I think I have never seen you wearing black clothes, and I feel a little regretful." Banhua took out the black brocade robe from the box and handed it to Rong Xia with a smile, "Pass it to me. Take a look."

"Okay." Rong Xia took the brocade robe and turned around to go behind the screen.

Banhua sat down at the table. She held her chin with one hand and her eyes fell on the vase in the corner. She recalled the man in her dream who praised her before she died as a rare living person in the capital and gave her a fox fur coat. .

She had mixed feelings about the new emperor in her dream. First, she was grateful for his willingness to take care of her family, and second, she complained that he had stripped the Ban family of their titles.

Her ending should have been that after Shen Yu broke off the engagement, she failed to find a suitable son and husband, and was eventually stripped of her title and died under an arrow from someone unknown. However, when she woke up from the dream, reality and the dream became farther and farther away, and she gradually no longer paid attention to the dream.

Whether she is happy or sad, she has lived in this world and enjoyed the glory and wealth. If she ends up having her house confiscated and dying early, it will be her fate. As long as her family is safe, she has nothing to resent.

I don’t know how long it took, but Banhua heard footsteps coming from behind. She looked back and saw the noble man in mysterious clothes walking toward her, with a white jade crown, fine mutton-fat white jade, a fair neck, and a chin that was so perfect that it was almost unreal.

Exactly the same as the man in the dream.

Banhua suddenly laughed, and the laughter spread out of the room, making the maid standing outside think that Madam had gone crazy because of the incident in the Ban family.

"Huahua, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at a poem."

"What poem?"

"If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade. Am I right in pronouncing this sentence?"

"No," Rong Xia sat down next to her, "I just don't understand why you remembered this poem."

"Well, maybe it's because I think you look better in black clothes than light colors."

"Really?" Rong Xia looked at the clothes on her body softly, "Since Huahua likes it, I will wear it for you every day."

"That's not okay," Banhua shook his head, "I don't want to give other women an advantage and let them see your beauty."

"Then I will wear it at home?"

"Okay."

Banhua smiled and nodded.

She reached out and touched Rong Xia's white jade crown, and suddenly said: "Rong Xia."

"Huh?" Rong Xia held her other hand in her palm and played with it.

"I will only ask you this question once."

"Are you hiding something from me?"
