water?

It is simply ridiculous that the current emperor was reduced to the point where he could not even drink water.

Suiheng did this in front of everyone's eyes. It seems that he really can't wait to get to the top.

Although the Prime Minister also had his own plans in mind, he had followed Sui Yunjing all the way here. Now that he saw Sui Yunjing's terrifying look with sunken eyes, he felt sad in his heart.

"Your Majesty." The Prime Minister choked with sobs and went to pour a glass of water. Regardless of the dirt on the bed, he leaned over and fed Sui Yunjing's mouth bit by bit.

He had never done such a job in his life, and his hands shook accidentally, causing Sui Yunjing to cough.

The Prime Minister quickly put away the water cup and carefully lifted Sui Yunjing up: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Sui Yunjing collapsed and gasped loudly. His voice was like a leaking bellows, which sounded extremely harsh.

After a while, he finally regained his composure and spoke with difficulty: "Suiheng, where is that traitor Suiheng?"

Prime Minister: "Your Highness, Your Highness, he is not in the palace."

"I asked people to arrest that traitor. It was him. It was he who poisoned me, which made me look like this."

The prime minister was shocked. He didn't expect that the emperor would become like this because he was poisoned.

The person who poisoned him was actually the current prince, the emperor's own son.

The Prime Minister was a little unbelievable. Is Suiheng really so careless?

The noise outside the palace continued. Although the force of his colleagues was not worthy of those rough men, they were better in numbers and the guards did not dare to actually attack them.

Seeing the farce in front of him, the Prime Minister held his breath and shouted: "Stop fighting."

A loud shout made everyone stop and look at him.

The Prime Minister looked gloomy: "Come in, everyone."

Before the guards could react, a group of civil servants swarmed in and squeezed directly into the hall.

As soon as they entered the door, the lingering stench penetrated into everyone's nostrils. Everyone pinched their noses. Before they could ask the prime minister carefully what was going on, they saw Sui Yunjing lying on the bed.

"This, this is? Your Majesty?"

"How did the Emperor become like this?"

The Prime Minister signaled everyone to be quiet, and then repeated what Sui Yunjing just said in the simplest possible language.

After everyone heard this, they were collectively shocked.

The guards who followed the ministers into the dormitory originally wanted to drive the people out of the palace as soon as possible, but now they were stunned when they heard the prime minister's words.

The prime minister looked at the guards with sharp eyes: "Whose subordinates are you?"

The leading guard subconsciously replied: "Sir Hui, these subordinates are subordinates of Lord Zhou, the commander of the Forbidden Army."

"Forbidden Army?" The Prime Minister snorted coldly, "The function of the Imperial Army is to imprison the Emperor. Take a good look at it. What does the Emperor look like today?"

Sui Yunjing heard what the prime minister said. If it were in the past, he would definitely punish anyone who dared to say such things. However, at this moment, except for the hatred for Suiheng, there was nothing else left in his heart.

He was in such an embarrassing situation, and his dignity meant nothing.

He just wanted Suiheng to die.

As soon as the Prime Minister spoke out, the Imperial Guards who had been arrogant and unreasonable before instantly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please spare your life. My lord, please spare your life. I am just following Lord Zhou's arrangements. Lord Zhou said that the Emperor needs to rest and we will never be allowed to enter and disturb the Emperor."

"Master Zhou?" The Prime Minister's eyes were shrewd, "Now there is a chance to make a mistake. If it is really Master Zhou's fault, go and take him here now and ask the Prime Minister to interrogate him."

"This..." The leading imperial army hesitated.

Whether it is the imperial guards or interrogation, it is not under the control of the prime minister.

The Prime Minister seemed to see what he was thinking and said angrily: "Now that the Emperor has been killed by a traitor, why are you still looking forward and backward?"

The leading imperial guard trembled, stood up and left quickly with a group of people.

After the imperial army left, the prime minister's expression became solemn again.

"Everyone." He looked at his colleagues in the palace, "Since His Highness can control the imperial army, it means that the palace is no longer safe. We must take the emperor to a safe place as soon as possible."

"But there are many branches of the Forbidden Army. The one named Zhou rebelled, and the others may not..." Someone questioned

"But we can't gamble." The Prime Minister said sternly, "Are you willing to see Daxia fall into the hands of the Second Highness who killed his father?"

After everyone was silent, they shook their heads.

"That's it. Before His Highness returns to the capital, all we can do is protect the safety of the Emperor."

*

The bedroom door creaked open, and Sui Lin woke up from his sleep in an instant. After seeing the person clearly, his shoulders relaxed: "Is something wrong?"

Fu Shiqi also obviously noticed that Sui Lin was awake and stopped a few steps away: "Your Highness, the Second Highness has begun to mobilize troops."

"Mobilizing troops? At this time?" Sui Lin quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed.

"What's going on? Why is it so sudden?"

Fu Shiqi: "In the afternoon, the prime minister led a group of civil servants and broke into the emperor's bedroom. Not long after, the emperor disappeared from the bedroom and was nowhere to be found."

"After His Highness learned about this incident, he directly mobilized part of the Imperial Army, imprisoned the Prime Minister and others who were staying in the palace, and searched the palace for the emperor's whereabouts. The search has been going on for almost three hours now."

Three hours.

It was now around eight o'clock in the evening. Suiheng realized that something was wrong. It should be between two and three o'clock in the afternoon.

Sui Lin rubbed his eyebrows, feeling quite headache.

He only rested for an afternoon, and the progress bar was pulled directly to the last chapter, which was too fast.

Fu Mingchen is still far away in the south and has not returned. He is weak in the capital, so it is a bit difficult to deal with it.

What on earth did he do to Sui Yunjing? Just because the prime minister led someone to break in, he was immediately defeated.

"Your Highness, what do you want now?"

Sui Lin thought for a while: "You and Fu Shishi continue to inquire about the news. In addition to the Forbidden Army, does Suiheng have any other power?"

"By the way, how many people do Fu Mingchen still have left in Beijing?"

Fu Shiqi was silent for a few seconds, seeming to be calculating in his mind. After a while, he replied: "About fifty or sixty people."

"That's enough." Sui Lin said, "Find a way to cause some trouble for the Forbidden Army. It's best to slow them down and don't make too much noise."

"Yes." Fu Shiqi responded.

After Fu Shiqi and Fu Shishi left, Sui Lin also changed into night clothes and went out.

In order to save time on detours, he jumped directly onto the roof, and under the cover of night, quickly jumped on different houses, heading towards the palace.

Martial law was enforced near the palace gate, and the people probably noticed the murderous atmosphere in the city, so they hid in their homes early and never came out again.

In the whole city, only the imperial palace was brightly lit, lighting up almost half of the capital.

Sui Lin stopped when he was about to be exposed in front of the imperial army.

He squatted on the top of a tall tower outside the palace, observing the patrol patterns of the imperial guards not far away.

After all, the number of manpower Suiheng could mobilize was limited, and the palace area was too large. Where Sui Lin was squatting, a group of forbidden troops would pass by every ten minutes.

After letting Xiao Hei calculate the route, Si Lin took advantage of the gap and jumped over the outermost palace wall.

But if he wanted to reach Sui Yunjing's bedroom, he had to cross many layers of palace walls.

Fortunately, with Xiao Hei's help, Sui Lin managed to reach his destination without disturbing any forbidden troops along the way.

Sui Heng was outside Sui Yunjing's dormitory at this time. A chair was brought from somewhere and he was sitting on it.

Probably he couldn't stand the smell inside the palace either.

In front of him, the civil servants were kneeling on the ground. Their bodies were more or less stained with blood. They were kneeling on the ground in silence, and even their breathing was very weak. It was not known whether they were still alive.

Sui Lin held his breath and squatted for a while. He saw one of the kneeling people swaying, unable to kneel, and fell to the side in the next second.

The moment he fell, the man next to Suiheng stepped forward quickly and whipped the man.

The man who fell to the ground cried out in pain and tried to get up again, but couldn't muster the strength and fainted.

Suiheng didn't even look at it: "Pull it down."

The others who had not fallen down were obviously breathing a little faster.

The atmosphere of silence and anxiety continued to spread, and I don't know how long it took. Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and jumped up: "Suiheng, you are such a rebellious traitor, you must die a good death!"

The next second, there was a "crack" sound, the sword was unsheathed and passed across his neck.

When the blood spurted out, he didn't react yet. He stared at Suiheng with anger in his eyes and fell down.

The sound of falling to the ground was extremely obvious, and the people around him were shocked again, and their bodies were trembling.

Suiheng suddenly laughed: "Rebellious? Do you think so too?"

The man kneeling on the ground did not dare to speak.

Suiheng suddenly stood up, walked towards the person closest to him, and kicked the person hard in the heart. The kick made the person vomit a mouthful of blood, fell down, and was quickly pulled away by the imperial army.

"Speak, why don't you say anything?"

"I said the conditions. Where is my father? Where is the box he left behind? Whoever tells me first, I will let him live."

The people kneeling on the ground continued to remain silent.

Suiheng's forehead twitched, as if his patience had reached its limit, he raised his hand: "Pull them all down and kill them."

"Your Highness?"

The Imperial Guards who had kicked Sui Heng's people earlier were surprised.

"I said, kill them all." Suiheng said warmly with a scary smile on his face, "Since you are unwilling to speak, you are a useless person, your highness, oh no, me."

"I hate useless people the most."

The imperial guards did not dare to say anything more and called on their men to drag away all the kneeling people.

Sui Lin hid in the dark and watched the tragedy silently, took a deep breath, and then began to think.

What is the box Suiheng is talking about?

Sui Yunjing knew that he didn't have much time left, so the only things he left behind seemed to be the jade seal and the edict of succession.

Suiheng must have known that the name on the edict was not his. He wanted to get the edict just to destroy it.

But thinking about the names that might appear in the edict, Suilin was frightened.

[Xiao Hei, quickly, find the location of Sui Yunjing and the box. 】

[Sir, we don’t have enough energy QAQ. 】

After weighing it in his mind for a moment, Sui Lin said: "Then just look for Sui Yunjing." 】

The box is most likely on Sui Yunjing's body. Even if it's not there, Sui Yunjing's life is more valuable than a dead thing.

Heartbroken, Xiao Hei spent some of his remaining energy to search for Sui Yunjing's hiding place, and finally got the result after a quarter of an hour.

[My lord, we found it. Sui Yunjing is here. My lord, Sui Yunjing was discovered by Sui Heng. 】

Sui Lin: "!"

[Quick, show me the way. 】

At the same time as he spoke, Sui Lin's whole figure was like a fully charged arrow, flying out from the place following Xiao Hei's guidance.

[Sir, Sui Heng took action against Sui Yunjing. 】

Gritting his teeth at the end of the year.

[Sir, Sui Yunjing is so miserable. Suiheng holds his head and kowtows to the ground. 】

[Sir, hurry up, ah, I was stopped. Well done, young man. 】

Sui Lin: "?"

[Ah, sir, An Ruojin was beaten while protecting Sui Yunjing. 】

An Ruojin? Is he with Sui Yunjing?

As a prince, Suiheng's riding and shooting are essential lessons.

Although he is not the top, he is still considered a master compared to An Ruojin and Sui Yunjing who cannot move.

[My lord, my lord, An Ruojin was stabbed with a sword and almost died. 】

【Shut up. 】The new year is approaching and it is bad.

He kept talking about it, making it impossible for him to concentrate on his journey.

Suiheng left not long ago, which shows that Sui Yunjing's hiding place is not very far from his dormitory.

Did they only escape so far in the past three hours?

What is this, dark under the lamp?

However, it did have a certain effect. At least it proved that Sui Heng had never thought that Sui Yunjing would hide nearby instead of running away.

This slowed down a lot of Suiheng's progress.

[My lord, my lord, hurry up! ! ! 】

[Don't shout. ] Suilin looked at the important point in front of him and suddenly slowed down, [It's almost there. 】

*

Sui Heng was furious to the extreme. Even though the man who took away Sui Yunjing had been struck by a sword, he still felt it was not enough, so he dropped his sword and kicked them one by one.

But this man actually didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end.

"Speak, scream quickly. Aren't you in pain? Why don't you scream?"

"Tell me, where is the edict?"

An Ruojin was usually most afraid of being inconvenient, but at this moment she made a swallowing motion and raised her head to look directly at Suiheng: "The edict has been handed over to His Highness the Third Highness. The Third Highness is the orthodox one, and you are just a treacherous minister and traitor." That’s all.”

He always spoke in a calm manner and sounded a little soft, and it was the same at this moment.

However, Suiheng suddenly stopped moving, covering his face and laughing.

After laughing for a long time, he finally laughed enough and sneered: "You said that the end of the year is the orthodoxy?"

"He is a good-for-nothing. I'm afraid he will have died in the hands of the Nanzhao people by now. You tell me that he is orthodox? What a big joke."

An Ruojin's tone was weak, but her attitude became firmer: "The Third Highness will not die, the Third Highness will come back alive."

I don’t know if it’s a beautiful vision or just comforting myself.

"Wishful thinking!" Suiheng picked up the sword again and was about to swing it when something came out of the air behind him and hit him directly on the back.

Suiheng was knocked to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood. He turned over and sat up, only to find that half of the door panel was pressed against him.

"Who?" he said angrily, staring at the blurry figure in front of him.

The figure did not answer, but slowly approached with extremely slow steps.

When he stood still in front of Suiheng, he finally said, "How long has it been since we last seen each other, and your second brother doesn't recognize me anymore?"

Sui Heng's pupils suddenly widened, his body couldn't help trembling, he stumbled and said: "Si, Sui Lin?"
