Hot as China, cold as snow

A woman in a gorgeous robe sat upright inside the gauze curtain, and a man in a black robe whose face could not be seen clearly sat opposite her outside the gauze curtain.The woman asked: "How can we get rid of him. After solving this matter, the benefits you want are indispensable."

The man gestured, pinched his fingers and counted, then said with a serious expression and a hoarse voice: "People with the blood of Ziwei! There is still purple air hovering above their heads, this is the blood of the royal family!"

"Is there a solution?" the young woman asked.

"It's difficult." The black-robed man was silent for a long time before he said hoarsely again: "The celestial phenomena are showing, this son is the reincarnation of the fox demon. Although he is located in Ziwei Palace, he also has weaknesses."

"I'm adding a daughter, tell me!"

"The fox is angry. He is afraid of water and thunderstorms. There will be rain in the near future. Before the rain falls, just put a towering iron rod behind the room where he lives. One day, luck will help you punish him."

"Soaring into the clouds? Is the important part of the palace something you can build just by building a towering one?"

"Your Majesty, if you can't even do this, I won't be able to help your Majesty."

The woman in a gorgeous palace dress took a deep breath and said unhappily, "How tall?"

"It doesn't need to be too high, just slightly higher than the house. It's better to connect the iron wire with the house, and the effect will be better."

"Okay, I understand. You go down!" The man in black left quietly, the woman closed her eyes slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up.A little boy walked quietly into the blindfolded woman's eyes step by step: "Guess who I am?"

The woman raised her lips and disappeared, and said angrily: "Stop making trouble, Yin'er, you need to remember that you are now the prince, the crown prince, and the heir apparent, how can you be so ignorant. The queen mother is doing her best to remove obstacles for you now, and you also It’s up to the queen mother to win.”

The little boy pouted and stood in front of the woman: "Mother, Yin'er knows. He will become a good prince, and then he will be able to make his mother the queen, the queen mother."

The woman in Chinese clothes nodded: "Did you do the homework that the Taifu gave you? Finish it." Liu Chengyin saluted respectfully and withdrew.

The wind was raging outside, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and there were piercing wind sounds in my ears. The storm was coming. The maid held the lamp, and the shadow of the lamp swayed unsteadily. She entered the dark room, walked to the bed, and squatted down to face each other. The children in a group said: "Eldest son, why didn't you tell me to turn on the lights. Isn't your son afraid of the dark?"

The child with legs tucked around his knees turned his head, blinked in the darkness, his eyes were bright: "Sister Ying'er, it's going to rain."

"That's right! Isn't the eldest son afraid of thunderstorms?" The maid named Ying'er got up and wanted to light up the lights in the surrounding area.But Liu Moran grabbed her sleeve, and said timidly with his lips: "Don't light the lamp, the room is too empty, I don't want to stay in such an empty place alone, there is no popularity." After Leng Xuanyan left, Liu Moran only stayed in the palace Feeling deeply lonely.

There was a rumbling sound, lightning, thunder and rain, the wind blew open the window, and the air-conditioning came in, Ying'er looked at Liu Moran with some embarrassment: "The eldest son is holding the maidservant's clothes, the maidservant has no way to close the window. Hearing this, Liu Moran let go of his hand and said, "What will he be doing at this time? Will he be thinking of me as much as I miss him?"

Ying'er closed the window and turned around, but she didn't hear Liu Moran's words clearly and asked: "My lord, what maidservant do you want?"

Liu Moran shook her head without moving, but Ying'er said: "My lord, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed, otherwise I won't be able to get up to attend the teacher's class tomorrow morning, and I will be scolded. The maid will make your bed for you. "

"Okay." Liu Moran said good, and went to bed obediently. Ying'er picked up the only light in the house, checked the doors and windows of the house, took a last look at the house, and then closed the door and left. She is not on duty tonight, see Looking at the time, the shift changer has arrived: "It's raining tonight, don't sleep soundly at night, the master is still young and will be afraid of thunderstorms, be careful." Ying'er told the young maid, and then yawned and went back to the side room not far away. up.

There was a little thunder outside, and the rain was getting heavier. Liu Moran hid his whole body in the quilt. He was afraid of thunderstorms.A flash of thunder illuminated the black sky as if it were daytime. There are often thunderstorms here in this season.

A high place behind the house suddenly lit up, illuminating the dark surroundings, and then thunder came. This time, the lightning did not flash away, but the whole room was brightly lit and never went out.Liu Muran sensitively sensed something unusual, and crawled out of the quilt, the outside was already ablaze, the fire broke out, even the heavy rain couldn't extinguish it, the smoke was hazy, bursts of mist poured into the room, making Liu Muran cough, Liu Moran crouched in the corner and hugged her knees tightly, her eyes filled with tears.The rain outside is getting smaller and smaller.

When the rain stops, the wind stops and the sky clears.

Liu Yao saw the flames shooting up towards the sky from Liu Muran's direction from a distance, he was startled immediately, and hurriedly called General Su Ze.When Su Ze led the troops, shouts could already be heard everywhere: "It's flooded! Put out the fire. The eldest son of King Rong is still in the room." Su Ze took the quilt and poured water on his body, and immediately rushed Into the sea of ​​flames, he searched around the room and saw Liu Moran, the eldest son of King Rong lying on the ground at the foot of the bed.Liu Moran had already lost consciousness, and his face was smoky and black. Su Ze didn't have time to sniff him, so he wrapped him in a wet quilt and took him out.

When Liu Moran was delivered to the emperor Liu Yao, he had already lost his breath. Liu Yao was furious, and ordered the imperial hospital to save her. A dozen imperial physicians knelt on the ground and took turns terrified and kept silent. The old imperial physician relied on his courage Said: "Your Majesty, the eldest son can't be saved anymore."

The emperor Liu Yao shouted: "Impossible, I don't believe it." As he said that, he put his hands on Liu Moran's chest and instilled true energy, and the true energy miraculously infused into it.Liu Yao saw that it made sense, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze to save people!"

The imperial doctor saw that his body was still not cold enough, so he quickly put his right hand on his left and beat Liu Moran's heart fiercely, and took emergency measures. Liu Moran's pale face turned a little bloody, and he coughed twice , people did not wake up.

Seeing that everyone was safe, Emperor Liu Yao walked out of the room and asked Su Ze who was waiting outside, "Have you found out?"

"Back to the emperor, the fire was man-made. Someone set up an iron rod behind Da Shizi's house to attract thunder."

"Who did it?"

"This??? Returning to the emperor was done by the prince's mother, Concubine Hua."

"You know what to do. In addition, send Prince Rong's son out of the palace, and send him to Prince Rong's mansion first, and ask Prince Rong Liu Xu to send him to Pinggu, Lingzhou. This matter is left to Prince Rong Liu Xu, who knows what to do. There are rumors that Liu Moran, Prince Rong's son, has returned to the Rong Palace to recuperate from his injuries."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Ze responded and left overnight.

The father-in-law came to Concubine Hua's palace with the tray in his hand: "The emperor will speak up." Concubine Hua knelt down.The father-in-law continued: "Concubine Hua disrespects women and has selfish intentions. There is a puppet in the palace that casts a curse on the emperor. The evidence is convincing and irrefutable. This is a major crime against the nine clans. It is seen as the contribution of breeding blood for the royal family. A glass of wine, a bunch of white silk, and a dagger, and I cut it off by myself. This is it!" Concubine Hua heard tears in her eyes, and she lay on the ground, only shouting: "The emperor treats me unfairly, God, open your eyes! "

Liu Chengyin ran to hug Concubine Hua and cried, "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine, I don't want you to go."

The father-in-law hurriedly called others: "Come here, pull the prince down." The mother and son were separated abruptly.Holding the dagger, Concubine Hua said with tears in her eyes: "Son, avenge this palace, remember not to let Liu Moran go, he took away your royal father and the life of your queen mother. To avenge this palace, he is The son of a vixen, Tao Fuxing’s victim, I can’t be a queen, and even a ghost can’t let him go.” He stabbed the dagger into his body, and the blood couldn’t stop flowing.Liu Chengyin was so frightened that he forgot to cry and struggle, and watched his mother lose her life in a daze.
