Phoenix and Dragon

An unexpected guest came to Prince Su's mansion late at night.

The second son Li Mingyao limped on one leg and only wore a coat. He yawned and stood on the corridor of the palace, looking foolish: "Who is it? It's late at night and no one is allowed to sleep."

The young servant graciously held up a lamp for him: "Second Prince, that man said, if you have something important to tell, let's take a step to speak."

Li Mingyao kicked his shoes with drooping eyelids, a listless spirit of excessive indulgence, and everyone else would praise the Second Prince for his physical disability, even if he was limping, it was hard for him to stop this prostitution.

Li Mingyao turned around unwillingly, his eyes sank in a place where no one could see.

He was anxious, because Li Mingyuan hadn't returned at this time, it might not be a good omen.

Li Mingyuan heard that he was going to the emperor's banquet to entertain the barbarians, but because he was concerned about Li Xi's explosive temper, he didn't dare to let Li Xi go.

And now the hour...

Li Mingyao looked up at the sky and murmured in his heart, wondering what kind of banquet would not be over until this time.

Hongmen Banquet?

"Bah bah bah."

Thinking of this, Li Mingyao immediately poohed a few times, which startled the servant who was attentively guiding him.

Boy: "Second Master, what's wrong with you?"

Li Mingyao didn't care at all: "I still need you to take care of my master's affairs...Hurry up and lead your way, so I can go back to sleep after listening to this nonsense."

In Prince Su's mansion, the old prince pretended to be crazy and foolish, and the second son was ignorant, and only Li Mingyuan occasionally came out to say a few serious words.

The boys are used to the masters in the palace being more heartless than the other, daring to listen to everything, so they have long stopped thinking about what Li Mingyao was complaining about.

After dismissing the talkative boy, Li Mingyao remained silent.

Follow the corridor all the way to the turn.

The main gate of Prince Su's mansion is closed, only a small side gate is left at the concierge, which is guarded by trusted servants.

The uninvited guest is now in the concierge.

Li Mingyao limped across the narrow and broken door of the porter's room. He didn't bother to take off the clothes he was wearing, so he found a stool at random, and put himself on it with his buttocks. Who, you don’t even look at the time when you’re a guest? Feeling like your house is always crowing in the middle of the night?”

The person who came was wearing a cloak, which was tightly wrapped around the ground. Li Mingyao looked at it calmly, and the person quietly revealed his face.

Li Mingyao took a look, he was not very old, he was still a teenager, his skin was fair, and he had a unique and shrewd air that he had seen before, but he was a little too delicate.

Li Mingyao knew the identity of this person at that moment.

Ordinary people don't have such a handsome boy. This young man is white and clean, and he is actually a eunuch.

The eunuch who can come here mysteriously at this time may only come from the palace.

The Second Prince still looked impatient and dead on the surface, but there was a "thump" in his heart, and he almost jumped up.

Fortunately, the fake disability on the leg restricted Er Shizi's performance, so that Er Shizi didn't have the opportunity to show his alertness like a rabbit, otherwise he would show his stuff.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Prince Su's Mansion has always been famous for its "beauty".

It may be that he has heard about Prince Su's unreliable family for a long time. The little eunuch is not surprised, and he is quite flattered when he is neglected. Eldest son, for disturbing the rest of the second eldest son, he deserves to die, but the matter is urgent, so I dare not not bother you this time, so the servant just said a few words and left."

Hearing this, Li Mingyao pretended to be attracted and looked at the little eunuch. He pretended to stare at him for a while, then widened his eyes suddenly, and stood up with three steps: "The eunuch ... Oh no, what do you call my little brother."

The little eunuch's face was expressionless: "It's not important...Second prince, the slave just came to inform that there was a disturbance in front of the imperial court today, the emperor detained the prince, and asked the prince and the second prince to make plans early."

In a word, it is earth-shattering.

There is too much information in this sentence.

Chaos in front of the imperial court?

What kind of trouble dares to go to the imperial court?The emperor was assassinated? !

What does Li Mingyuan have to do with being assassinated?

The Second Prince suddenly thought of the death talisman he took out from the coffin of the little girl who had gone there, and his heart was chilled from head to toe.

Li Mingyao froze on the spot.

And the little eunuch had already covered the cloak again, bowed hastily, turned around and was about to leave.

Li Mingyao thought about lightning, and shouted: "Wait!"

The little eunuch paused after hearing the sound, and turned around: "Second Prince, forgive me, I have to go back immediately."

Li Mingyao frowned unobtrusively: "Who bothered father-in-law to go through this?"

The little eunuch shook his head: "Second son, don't miss the old love, don't forget the old things, you haven't seen the servant tonight."

This is because I made up my mind not to talk about it.

Li Mingyao didn't say a word, squinted the cynical eyes of the romantic young man, looked at the young man for a while, then raised his chin, and winked at the servant beside him.

The boy understood, and hurriedly took out a bag of broken silver and handed it over.

Li Mingyao stood at the side twisted and crooked, and smiled softly as if he knew the way: "It's a little bit interesting, brother Xie was tired late at night, so don't dislike it."

The little eunuch was taken aback, pretended to decline, accepted it, and then covered the cloak again, and everyone watched the little eunuch walk into the night.

Li Mingyao was shocked by the autumn wind.

Li Mingyao suddenly came back to his senses when he saw this shock, and gave the porter a "follow him" look, turned his head, and immediately changed his face, the second-generation ancestor's temperament that the mud could not support the wall returned instantly , Why did you bluff to urge the boy holding the lamp: "Go, go! Are you stupid?! Go and wake up my father and king! ... Ouch, you idiot! Hurry up!"

Prince Su's mansion was up and down overnight.

————————————————————————————————————

However, the son of the world found a short period of peace amidst the frenzy, and slept peacefully until dawn in the warm pavilion deliberately ordered by the emperor to be set up for him.

The silence in the palace seemed to be a harbinger of a storm.

The autumn wind passed by, and the eyes were bleak.

The emperor suddenly asked Li Mingyuan to stay in the inner palace, which was both a temptation and a threat.

To test whether he is really as Qin Feng said, has nothing to do with the assassination of the rebellious officials and thieves; at the same time, he should not act rashly by threatening the suspected Prince Su's mansion.

The emperor obviously still had doubts. After all, it was Qin Feng who did it too dishonestly.

Sometimes Li Mingyuan is really curious, what kind of person is Qin Feng?

If you say he is gentle and refined, he is actually a desperate gambler and lunatic. His own life can be gambled, and the emperor's life can also be gambled. There are thousands of faces under one smiling face. "Everyone, no normal person can overlap his layered character. From top to bottom, every layer seems fake, and every layer seems real.

The emperor obviously trusts Qin Feng, but no one is a donkey, and he can turn his head as soon as he can.

Years of doubts have been rooted in my heart for many years, even if I put them to death, it is impossible to wither into ashes in an instant.

How to pull out those rooted doubts little by little?How to ensure the stability of this generation in the mansion step by step?

Li Mingyuan was supposed to have thousands of clues in his mind, but that night was unexpectedly peaceful, and the inner courtyard of the palace full of crises suddenly became a rare place to revisit.

It all comes from a sentence of Qin Feng, Qin Feng said, my son, you and I have known each other before.

Blurred impressions suddenly emerged from the depths of memory, and the faded memories gradually became clear against the background of red walls and yellow tiles. It might not be warm enough, but it was enough to make Li Mingyuan, who had long lost his expectations, smile when he thought of it.

That year, his father was a prince with great military exploits, the emperor's only younger brother, and all the bloody strife and intrigues of the royal family were still like beacons in the sky.

It was him.

I thought it was also a shadow that disappeared silently in the most unspeakable years, but in such a sudden way, it reappeared without warning.

If he is still alive, Li Mingyuan thought vaguely before falling asleep, then... Is it possible that those previous suspicions were really a misunderstanding, those previous renunciations were really an illusion ?

When the son was half asleep and half awake, he felt as if he was smiling. He was carrying the past of Prince Su's mansion on his body until now, and he has never felt so relieved.

But the next morning, when Shizi woke up from this short sleep, hearing the news last night was undoubtedly a blow to the head.

Qin Feng leaned on the rosewood bed with his arms folded, rubbed the center of his brows slightly, and the half-smile on his face showed a trace of exhaustion as if he hadn't slept all night: "General Pei, the admiral of the Nine Gates, he is the old servant of the prince. He said something so salty and so bold that he closed the nine gates last night. When Prince Su heard about this, he entered the palace overnight and had a big fight with the emperor. Stop it, General Pei has nothing to do, even if he is imprisoned in the big prison, the prince is also fine, and now he is still messing around with the emperor in the Golden Luan Hall... Hey! What are you doing?"

Li Mingyuan didn't even have time to put on his outer shirt. Hearing about this suddenly, a carp jumped up from the bed.

"I'm going to see the emperor!" Li Mingyuan said quickly, "This matter happened because of me. General Pei cannot be burned."

As he said, he kicked on his boots, pulled his hair casually, put on his coat and was about to rush out, but Qin Feng held him down with one hand.

"Stop!" Qin Feng yelled, "Are you confused?! The emperor asked you to chat with the queen mother in the palace, how do you go to see him? Forcefully break in? In addition to making the emperor more embarrassing and causing General Pei more guilt , useless!"

Qin Feng has always twisted his fingers a thousand times, and seldom speaks in such a harsh manner. Li Mingyuan was taken aback by his drinking, and immediately reacted. He threw off Qin Feng's hand pressing his shoulder and said angrily: "Otherwise What?! It’s not that no one knows about the early years, and it’s not that no one has seen what the emperor has done these years! The story of the depletion of birds and bows has always been chilling! I, Prince Su’s mansion, have enough to bear! General Pei is my father. The old department, the hero who guarded the border for the emperor, the iron hero who beat the wolf and the barbarian! He didn't die under the knife of the barbarian, but now he is allowed to die in this Taiping that he has made with his own hands. The government will accompany this unwarranted burial?"

Qin Feng looked at Li Mingyuan's eyes full of red silk, raised his eyelids, and the blood shadow knife light flashed through the peach blossom eyes, every inch of light was silently chilling, and sneered: "Master Su, you only think about Prince Su's mansion. The grievance, have you ever thought about other things?"

People lose half of their rationality in the midst of rage and cannot stand any provocation.

When Li Mingyuan heard this, it was like putting cold water into hot oil. Li Mingyuan exploded in an instant: "What did you say?!"

Qin Feng sneered coldly: "My lord, there is more than one Prince Su's mansion who guarded this peaceful and prosperous age; and more than one barbarian who wants to disrupt this peaceful and prosperous age! Bo Yuntian, who understands righteousness, doesn't have to act for me as Qin Mou." People have watched it! I sang more salt than you, so there is no need to be in such a hurry to perform Changbanpo's performance!"

There was something in Qin Feng's words, but what Li Mingyuan heard was only irritability, he snorted coldly, and said with contempt: "Acting? Do you really think that Li Mingyuan can see your babbling smiling faces? In your eyes, flowing A bloody general can't compare to a low-level actor?"

As soon as the words fell, Qin Feng's eyes turned cold.

Li Mingyuan was touched by that cold gaze, and suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, but he couldn't hold back his face to laugh with him for a while, so he could only stubbornly deny his mistake.

Qin Feng gave him a cold look, and walked away in a flick of his sleeves. The fast Li Mingyuan didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
