Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

In the early morning, the palace maids of Changyang Palace knocked on the door outside the bedroom as usual.

But after knocking for a long time, no one answered.

The palace maid felt something was wrong and pushed the door open with a pale face.

As far as the eye could see, the most beautiful woman fell to the ground, dead.

There was an empty medicine bottle next to it.

The palace maid was so frightened that she dropped the tray in her hands to the ground and screamed.

No one could have imagined that Xu would suddenly and quietly hoard medicine and commit suicide.

Emperor Yuanxu was resting with his eyes closed on the dragon couch, but upon hearing this, he suddenly opened his eyes and veins bulged on his forehead.

"Good! Very good! Even if it's a corpse, it must be buried in my imperial mausoleum!"

The deadline is approaching, and Emperor Yuanxu is almost going crazy.

His obsession with Xu and his jealousy of the prince's youth and strength made him increasingly paranoid.

The same news reached the East Palace, where the prince was practicing calligraphy in his study.

With his wrist suspended in the air, ink dripped onto the fine rice paper, smearing large areas of dirt.

The prince stared at the stain on the paper for a long time, and finally sighed softly.

"This calligraphy is considered ruined."

He reached out to touch it, and his fingers trembled slightly, revealing his true feelings.

In the entire palace, only one person remained calm.

Upon hearing the news from the nanny, the empress dowager, who had been keeping a low profile in the palace, was counting the Buddhist beads in front of the Buddha statue.

He raised his eyes, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and then he continued to count the Buddhist beads in his hand.

A living person was hidden quietly in the imperial envoy's mansion.

The "Xu" in the palace was a puppet made by Ling Heng and Shi Li. With Shi Li's magic, ordinary people could not tell the real from the fake.

The real Xu had been secretly taken out of the palace by her last night and taken to the residence of the imperial envoy.

Ling Heng looked numbly at another woman standing next to Shi Li and closed his eyes.

Out of sight is pure.

Of course, Shi Li didn't really want to keep Xu by her side, and had already arranged an escort agency and a carriage for her to escort Xu out of Kyoto.

"Before you leave, is there anyone you want to see again?"

Shi Li looked at Xu's pale face and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Xu was stunned.

Who are you meeting?

Are they those relatives who wanted to take advantage of her after she became a royal concubine?

Or is it the prince that neither of them dares to face?

"No, I just want to devote myself to Buddhism and escape from worldly affairs."

Xu smiled and answered decisively.

Shi Li still chose to respect.

Later, the carriage that took her away and the ceremonial procession that escorted the concubine to the imperial mausoleum left Kyoto on the same day.

Shi Li took Ling Heng with her to see Xu off, and accompanied them all the way to the city gate.

When he returned, he happened to see the prince standing like a monument on the besieged city.

The young prince was dressed in black, looking expressionlessly at the imperial concubine's procession that had long gone into the distance without a trace, with his hands restrainedly behind his back.

Shi Li, who knew the truth, could clearly feel his restraint and forbearance.

Even if you are a prince, you are still controlled by fate and imperial power and have no control over your own destiny.

Shi Li was losing interest in this bustling and bustling Kyoto. She tugged at Ling Heng's clothes, waited for him to lower his head, and said softly, "The Queen Mother doesn't need you anymore. Let's go."

"it is good."

Ling Heng naturally couldn't wait to leave this place.

I felt that if I didn’t leave, Shi Li would be snatched away by the Fifth Princess.

There are no monsters that can deceive people's minds in the palace, only powerful people who eat people. Ling Heng can't control this.

The two of them thought about going to the palace to bid farewell to the Queen Mother.

However, this time, I was unable to leave.

The Western Regions, which had always been in direct conflict with the imperial court, heard that Emperor Yuanxu was critically ill and wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate or rob him. They directly sent an envoy to Kyoto, arrogantly asking Emperor Yuanxu to marry the noble Fifth Princess.

I don’t know if Emperor Yuanxu was really crazy or what he was thinking, but after some consideration, he was actually prepared to agree.

The King of the Western Regions is older than him.

When the decision was made, the fifth princess almost fainted in the palace. She held on to her last breath and went to the East Palace, where she couldn't stop crying in front of the Crown Prince.

The prince had already reached his limit of patience, and seeing that Emperor Yuanxu was so absurd that he even wanted to harm the fifth princess, he could no longer suppress his anger and rushed directly before Emperor Yuanxu.

The father and son were at loggerheads.
