I won't be a courtier anymore

Chapter 41 Chapter 41

At dawn, the palace gate finally opened, and the sun rose slowly from above the palace.

The eldest prince came out from the depths of the palace gate in filial piety, Xie Feng breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect to solve it so quickly.

The First Prince had a slight tired look on his face, but because he had just won the world, he was in a good state of mind.

"Masters, last night the noble concubine and the second prince colluded with the Marquis of Huaiyin to conspire against him, and the father died in the chaos." The eldest prince said slowly.

The ministers below were panting, and they were restless, but suppressed.

Xie Feng calmed down. Since the death knell could be heard at the second watch, it proved that the second prince had been restrained at that time, and it was just a surprise at this time.

Guo heard the eldest prince continue: "The imperial concubine committed suicide in front of her father's spirit. The second prince and the Marquis of Huaiyin fled to Xijiang. They will be arrested and brought to justice soon."

The ministers dare not speak, even if they are officials with Zhao Zi's lineage, at this time the winner and the loser are already clear, so they naturally know how to behave obediently with their tails between their legs.

The old prince has also been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, and he should come out to preside over such a scene. He stepped forward, bowed to the eldest prince, and asked, "Where is your majesty's last edict?"

"It's in the hands of the princess." The eldest prince said, "Father has long noticed that Zhao Zi has treasonous intentions, so he handed over the edict to Qin'er for safekeeping, just in case."

"Where is the princess?" the old prince asked again.

"At the minister's residence." Xie Feng came out and replied, "The minister will return to the residence to invite the princess back to the palace."

"Since it is a will, this king will follow along." The old prince said.

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor," said the First Prince.

Xie Feng said: "My lord, please."

Xie Feng didn't have a chance to ask what happened last night. The most urgent thing is to ask for the will and announce the will of His Majesty.

Zhao Qin didn't sleep all night, and he was very depressed. When he saw the old prince, he couldn't help crying. The old prince hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Princess's condolences."

Zhao Qin returned to the palace with the edict, only to find out that the noble concubine and the second prince really conspired against each other last night, and the noble concubine went with the late emperor on the spot. The second prince and the Marquis of Huaiyin fought a bloody road and fled to Xijiang in a hurry. Far away, my heart was in chaos, I only handed over the edict to the old prince, and then stood in the place of the female relatives, weeping for the former emperor.

The emperor's edict ordered Zhao Nan to succeed to the throne, and Zhao Nan put on the dragon robe the next day, and all the officials came to court.

When Xie Feng was kneeling under His Highness, he suddenly remembered that it was Zhao Zi who stood in that position.

Zhao Zi is still the same as before, embarking on the road of conspiracy, but unfortunately, he succeeded in his previous life with his help, and even the identity of the princess was not known by everyone.

This life is different, Ji Wu and himself both chose the eldest prince.When the second prince conspired against him, it was Xu Jiwu who came to understand and brought physical evidence, and His Majesty was convinced, and set up the situation last night together with the first prince, but it was a pity that the emperor still died in Zhao Zi's hands.

Xu Jiwu's identity is really embarrassing, his father conspired against him, his son denounced him, and the whole family broke up in no time. The wife of the Marquis of Huaiyin had a stroke that night, and all her family property was confiscated. Xu Jiwu got rid of the identity that imprisoned him. One game, and finally ended up like this.

Zhao Nan was grateful for Xu Jiwu's kindness in reporting the letter, and offset his merits and demerits, he received the title of the Marquis, but he was not involved, only his family property was confiscated, and he was demoted to a commoner.

Xie Feng bought the yard next to the Hou's mansion for his little aunt to recuperate, and Xu Jiwu also temporarily lived in the capital.

As soon as the emperor's funeral was finished, it was already winter, and the first snow fell in a blink of an eye.

Li Bai's cocooning poison these past few days seems to be about to explode.Xie Feng was busy with business every day, and he still had to find a doctor for Li Bai everywhere. Cheng Jing's incident happened because he stole Huang Xin in the chaos and slipped out of the capital. Now he doesn't know where he went.

Xie Feng handed the cloak to Zhujiu, slightly opened the door curtain and walked in, the room was very stuffy, but Li Bai was still wrapped in a thick quilt, his face was pale.

Xie Feng didn't dare to walk towards Li Bai with a chill all over, he stayed at the door for a while and waited until his body warmed up before walking towards Li Bai.

"How do you feel today?" Xie Feng walked up to Li Bai lovingly and helped Li Bai up.

Li Bai lay on the bed for half a day, already tired, he leaned on Xie Feng's chest and said, "Is it snowing outside?"

"Well, it's snowing." Xie Feng said.

Li Bai muttered: "Every time it's winter, I feel so uncomfortable. This year, I took medicine but it didn't help. When do you think senior brother will come back?"

"Your senior brother is wanted now, so it's so easy to enter Beijing." Xie Feng said, "The second prince hasn't been caught yet, Beijing has just settled down."

"I heard from Zhujiu that little aunt has been in a bad mood for the past two days, so she might be going." Li Bai lowered his head and said.

Xie Feng nodded and said: "For my little aunt, it's a relief, but it's a pity that she wants face all her life, but she loses a lot of face when she ends."

Li Bai discussed and said: "I want to see it too."

Xie Feng immediately vetoed it: "What are you going to see, don't go, your health is not good, take good care of it."

Xie Feng was also secretly looking for Cheng Jing's whereabouts. Shiliu has already been dispatched, but unfortunately there is still no news.

On the day of the winter solstice, Li Bai shivered in the stuffy room wrapped in a thick quilt, Xie Feng hugged him to keep him warm, but it was completely ineffective.

"Brother, do you think I am..." Li Bai's chapped lips moved slowly, with a hint of fear in his eyes, he hugged Xie Feng tightly.

"No." Xie Feng said quickly, he didn't know what he said, but now, he can only say this.

"Look, you've already guessed what I'm going to say." Li Bai said, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "I'm not really afraid of death, but I'm afraid I'll never see you again. Brother, do you know, I I always feel that we have not only lived a lifetime, it seems that we have been together in the previous life."

Xie Feng's nose was sore from Li Bai's words, his eyes were slightly teary, he said: "We were together in the last life."

"Then we will be together in the next life, okay?" Li Bai looked up at Xie Feng with a faint smile, but the corners of his eyes were red.

"Okay..." Xie Feng is good, and it's extremely difficult to say, he said yes, he tacitly agreed that Li Bai was at a critical moment of life and death, but can he still say it's not good?

Li Bai smiled, he said, "Pull the hook."

Xie Feng hooked up with him childishly, stamped his seal, and finally couldn't help but kiss Li Bai's forehead deeply, Li Bai rubbed against him and said: "Brother, your mouth is so warm."

Xie Feng's eyes became more and more sore.

"Master Hou, Shiliu is back." Zhujiu crawled in, "Master Hou, Shiliu is back with Cheng Jing!"

"Senior brother is here?" When Li Bai heard that Cheng Jing had come, his whole body became a little bit more joyful. Xie Feng quickly got up, put on his clothes, wrapped Li Bai in the quilt, turned and went out.

Cheng Jing is his only chance.

It was snowing heavily outside, Cheng Jing was standing outside in purple, and Shiliu was holding an umbrella for him.

Xie Feng strode out, and before he could speak, Cheng Jing stretched out his hand, holding a small white jade bottle of suet in his palm, "The antidote, but it is risky."

"How much?" Xie Feng asked.

"Thirty percent." After Cheng Jing said, he was already discouraged, "I can only do this at most. Back then I took advantage of the chaos in the palace to steal the Phoenix Heart, and now it's all in the medicine."

Xie Feng reached out to take the bottle, and Cheng Jing quickly followed Xie Feng into the room.

Li Bai was wrapped into a ball on the bed, when he saw Cheng Jing coming in, he laughed immediately, and he said loudly: "Senior brother!"

Cheng Jing took a few steps to the bedside, put his arm around Li Bai, pulled him into his arms, and took Li Bai's pulse: "Don't talk, senior brother will take a good look for you."

Li Bai glanced at Xie Feng secretly, and made a playful gesture, Xie Feng frightened him into turning cold, but Li Bai was not afraid at all, and turned to look at Cheng Jing.

Cheng Jing hugged Li Bai deeply after the consultation and said, "I'm sorry, brother is late."

"It's not too late." Li Bai said, "I knew you would come to see me."

Cheng Jing rubbed Li Bai's head, and he said: "Xiaobai, I should have come here when it first snowed, but I went to the Jokhang Temple and wasted some time. You heard from senior brother that this poison in you , called Cocoon Transformation."

"Transforming the cocoon..." Li Bai looked at Cheng Jing in disbelief. He had read the Poison Sutra, but the poison of Cocoon Transformation, even the page recorded in the Poison Sutra, only had the word "unsolvable" written on it, and nothing else was left. carry.

"Cocooning is a poison developed by Master. You need to feed the poison to the mother when the fetus is still in the womb, and pass it to the baby. When the baby is 16 years old, the poison will mature." Cheng Jing said, "At this time Then he cut the heart and lungs of the poisoned boy, refined it into a new generation of cocoon, and so on, until he refined it into the most poisonous thing in the world."

"Brother..." Li Bai's face turned pale when he heard the words, he looked at Xie Feng anxiously, Xie Feng's heart was also seized, Zhujiu hurriedly put a stool for Xie Feng beside the bed, Xie Feng Sitting by the bed, holding Li Bai's hand.

Xie Feng faintly felt that the mystery of his previous life was about to be revealed.

"Master... I killed it." Cheng Jing said.

Hearing this, Li Bai suddenly pushed Cheng Jing away, and he retreated into the bed, with the sweat dripping from his forehead, he said in a trembling voice: "Brother, what are you talking about? He is the master!"

"Li Bai, he didn't really raise you as his apprentice from the very beginning, you are his poison, I killed him to save you!" Cheng Jing said to Li Bai, he stretched out his hand to hold Li Bai's hand , but Li Bai quickly hid.

Cheng Jing reluctantly withdrew his hand.

"I know Master is not a good person, but he is so kind to me..." Li Bai hastily defended Yang Ji.

"Li Bai, don't lie to yourself." Cheng Jing said, "He is good to you, he will attack your mother, and raised the cocoon in your body for 16 years? He is good to you, and will name you Li Bai? "

"What's wrong with Li Bai..." Li Bai was bombarded by Cheng Jing's successive truths, at this moment he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

"Master liked someone when he was young. He was the son of the Chen family in Huaiyin, named Chen Libai." Cheng Jing stepped forward and pulled Li Bai out of the bed. Xie Feng wanted to stop him, but Cheng Jing hugged Li Bai very forcefully. Into my arms, "He is the Kong of the Jokhang Temple, and also my own father..."

No wonder when I heard Li Bai’s name, I would ask carefully which two words it was. No wonder I knew so many things about Yangji. No wonder I was so kind to Li Bai in my previous life. No wonder I met Cheng Jing like that when I met him. Situation... It turned out that the Chen family in Huaiyin, the son of the old man Chen who was paralyzed in bed, the son of the son who had a scandal with a man and became a monk, was empty.

Xie Feng was bombarded in the head one by one.

"When Master was young, he was a well-known poison doctor in Jianghu. He fell in love with Kong Le, but the Chen family couldn't bear it. The old man forced Kong Le to marry my mother and gave birth to me. This incident caused Master's temperament to change drastically, and he did evil everywhere. You My mother was one of the victims. My mother noticed the relationship between them and was depressed all day long, so she left after giving birth to me." Cheng Jing said.

"Yang Ji did evil in Jianghu, and I tried to persuade him several times, but it was ineffective after all. Later, when I was free, I left home and prayed for atonement for Yang Ji in the Jokhang Temple." Cheng Jing said, "Later, the Chen family fell, and Yang Ji took me away. .Whether you or I are Chen Libai's substitute in his eyes, Xiaobai, don't you understand now?"

"I...I..." Li Bai trembled all over, "How do you know..."

"I discovered your poison by accident, when you were eight years old." Cheng Jing said, "As for those old things, I vaguely knew them before. Specifically, I went to Jokhang Temple this time and asked about them."

"Brother, let me be quiet, you go out, you go out first." Li Bai struggled to get out from Cheng Jing's arms, Cheng Jing hugged him tightly, how dare he let go, Xie Feng said in a deep voice: "You let go first Li Bai."

"Let me go." Li Bai slapped Cheng Jing's chest with both hands. Xie Feng pulled Cheng Jing's hand away vigorously. Twitching and crying.
