The world·Chang'an

Chang'an still decided to escort Li Yan all the way north to Jinling.

The colder it got as we went north, Li Yan was almost wrapped into a rice dumpling.

Perhaps the weather has cleared up after a few snow days, and Li Yan has been coughing less and less recently, and his complexion has become more rosy.

"You rest in my palace, I will go to say peace to my father first, and I will go back soon."

"Be careful in everything." Chang'an fastened the cloak for him and told him carefully.

Li Yan nodded, "I'll take the protective jade you gave me, and I'll be fine."

With all the authentication materials and evidence, this time, King Wei was completely defeated.

Concubine Jia's murder of Empress Xiaoxian, the original concubine of Emperor Yuanhe, was revealed. Concubine Jia's close maid escaped death when she was silenced. She didn't want to be found by the Prince Chen after so many years.

The imperial concubine Jia murdered the first queen, and the king of Wei secretly handed over the powerful ministers and used power for personal gain.

There is no pardon!

Li Nuo knelt beside Li Jie and shouted his innocence. As a father, Li Jie could not be soft-hearted. However, Jia Yuan, the concubine Jia’s personal maid, had her tongue cut out and wrote every word. When Concubine Jia was accused of crimes, Emperor Yuan He angrily kicked Li Nuo away.

Wei Wang Li Nuo was stripped of his throne and sent directly to prison. Concubine Jia took his title, demoted him to a commoner, and sent him to the cold palace.

Concubine Jia fell, and the Jiang family behind her fell.

Failed, crushed.

After the guards pulled King Wei and Concubine Jia down, Li Jie pressed his heart hard, and the emperor who was over fifty years old collapsed in an instant.

"Father, the child is not filial, and should be respectful to brothers and sisters, but let you see these filthy things."

Li Jie was leaning on the dragon chair made of golden nanmu, his whole body couldn't hide his old look, "Cheng Qi, come forward."

"Yes!"

Li Jie nodded his forehead, "It's not your fault, the Jiang family has been domineering for a long time, I just never thought that the truth about Empress Xiaoxian is so embarrassing, if I believe her more... "

"Fuzzy! Confused!"

The kings of the world fought in the Northwest when they were young, and pacified the eighteen tribes in the Northwest. Later, the army entered Jinling to the side of the Qing Dynasty. and affectionate.

"Father, don't be lonely and sad, the dragon's body is important."

Li Jie pressed Li Yan's hand, "You, you are too worried, how are you feeling better?"

He had always been a serious emperor, but in an instant he became a father who cared about his son.

Li Yan hid the momentary panic in his eyes, "With my father's care, Cheng Qi's body is fine."

"That's good, that's good!"

For a moment, Li Jie's eyes fell on the jade pendant on Li Yan's waist, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"

Li Yan was taken aback, but he didn't dare to hide it, "A gift from a friend, as a protection, Cheng Qi didn't dare to disappoint his friend's kindness, so he carried it with him every day, if the emperor would like it..."

Li Jie immediately interrupted and waved his hand, "Since it's a gift for you, it's best to take it with you!"

"It's getting late, you go back and take care of the general, and when you get better in the next year, go back to the court to listen to the government!"

Li Yan's eyes flashed, "Your servant will leave."

"Li Xiang."

"The slave is here."

Li Jie rubbed his temples, "Do you recognize Cheng Qi's jade?"

Li Xiang nodded, "If you look carefully, there must be the word 'cautious' engraved on it."

When Emperor Yuanhe of the dynasty, his surname was Li, his first name was Jie, and his style name was Shenzhi.

"Your Majesty, after His Royal Highness Prince Chen returned to Beijing, there was also a young man in red with him. He was highly skilled in martial arts. He seemed to be a member of the rivers and lakes. He is now in Prince Chen's mansion."

"You, your eyes are too poisonous."

Li Jie was silent for a long time, then waved his hand, "Don't say anything for now."

That piece of jade was a token gifted by Emperor Yuanhe when he first met Du Qierou, the daughter of Du Cheng, a first-class literary minister, when he was young and was the king of Liang. Yuyi broke into the Northwest Camp with a sword in his hand, and the Northwest Camp got chaos in the court. King Liang led his army into Beijing, and Liying was the prince of the country and defended the orthodoxy.

Only later, only the false name of Empress Xiaoxian and the blazing Fengming Palace remained.

"Let's just bid farewell to you, let's say goodbye to the king!"

Xue Ming, Marquis of Zhenguo, had retired from the court, but he couldn't bear it, so he set up another place in Jianzhuang for Du Qierou to shelter.

It's just that no one knew that Empress Xiaoxian was pregnant when she committed suicide.

The big stones that had weighed on his heart all these years were finally gone, and Li Yan only felt relaxed. He used to shirk the affairs of the court because of his poor health. Extraordinary, able to stand alone, this world has long been in his pocket.

"I don't know where Chang'an went crazy~"

Thinking that there was still a restless ancestor in the family, Li Yan fortunately gave up his step, changed horses as soon as he left the palace gate, and rushed back as soon as he returned home.

I thought that Chang'an would not be there, and Jinling City was full of flowers, so he might have gone somewhere, but he didn't expect Chang'an to squat on the roof and wait for him when he heard the sound of horseshoes.

"Jinling City is no different than other places. Flying to the roof every day, beware that the Imperial Army will shoot you into a hornet's nest!" Li Yan blamed, but the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"I'll say it's the people of His Highness Chen Wang, let's see if they dare to do something!"

"Yes, yes, my people, they dare not move."

Li Yan took off his cloak and entered the inner room.

Prince Chen was weak, but the charcoal fire in the house was not very strong, and it was even cooler than that of ordinary people's homes.

"Why is it so cold? You are weak, how can you bear it!" Chang'an called Uncle Li, who was in charge, to add charcoal.

Li Yan watched him busy with a smile, "Don't bother Uncle Li and the others, I know my body, you don't have a cough now, maybe it will be fine in a few days!"

"Even if you are not sick, you have to add charcoal fire. I think it's okay to be cold. If I want to add charcoal fire, His Royal Highness still feels sorry for the little charcoal?"

"Okay, okay! Don't feel bad, you can add whatever you want, there is nothing else in the palace, and the money will be tossed for you."

Chang An suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Yan's face. His complexion was indeed much better. It was not as pale as before. If he didn't remind him, he would be no different from ordinary people except for being a little thinner.

"Ayan, are you really in good health?" Chang'an has heard that there is a medicine that can make people's body recover quickly. Even Hua Tuo's illness can be cured, but this medicine can only be persisted. Three months, three months later, the oil will run out and the lamp will dry up.

Li Yan took a sip of tea and coughed lightly for a while, Chang An hurriedly stepped forward to relieve him, Li Yan said: "If I say that I have never suffered from any sickness and hemoptysis, will you be angry at me for lying to you? "

"Of course!" Chang'an paused, "However, just cheat, your health is the most important thing, and I'm not worth a lot of money when I'm angry."

Li Yan pretended to choke on water and cough lightly, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Thinking, when the matter is over, it will definitely be handed over to Chang'an without reservation.

"That's right!" Chang An suddenly writhed from his sleeves, and piled up a bunch of messy things on the table like offering treasures, "This is a treasure I picked up by accident when I went shopping in Jinling today."

Chang An drew out a dagger, the scabbard was featureless, even a bit ugly, but the moment the scabbard was pulled out, the cold light reflected the person, and the sound of iron clanging was crisp and clear, it was really a treasure.

"This little thing is for your protection!"

Li Yan took it, accompanied by nearly a hundred guards with high martial arts skills, but he still accepted the gift carefully and properly.

There are also a lot of messy gadgets piled up on the table, such as hairpins, rouge, sweet-scented osmanthus sugar syrup, panax notoginseng powder, and handkerchiefs. I admire him for bringing back so many miscellaneous things.

"What are these?" Li Yan asked.

"It's nothing. I just bought it on the way. When I come back, I will send it to your master. The little girl in the front hall cleans the palace for you every day. There is no trick on your hair. You can send some rouge, hairpins, etc. Yuan Shun's leg seems to have been injured. , The medicine powder is for him. I have sent a letter back to Zhuangzi, and the medicine in Zhuangzi will be delivered in a few days. He is responsible for protecting you. If you are injured, it will not work. And this handkerchief, Uncle Li’s wife’s handkerchief is old. I saw it as soon as I saw it, and sent a new one... This sweet-scented osmanthus syrup is my favorite since I was a child. Uncle Li said that the sweet-scented osmanthus syrup in Daoxiang Village is the best in Jinling, so I bought more. "Changan scratched his head embarrassingly like a child.

It's only been half a day, and the palace has already been seen clearly. If a person with this kind of thinking is born in the court, how thoughtful and thoughtful he must be!

Li Yan put the tea down, rested his chin on one hand and listened to him presenting treasures, and said with a smile, "You have bought all the inside and outside of my palace, what is your plan?"

"My ah, it's His Royal Highness Chen's abacus. I'm so well-intentioned. Your Highness, you just follow me."

Chang An stepped on the edge of the stool that Li Yan was sitting on with one leg, put his arms around him, and stared at him with narrowed eyes.

"Who did you learn to be so hooligan? There are no rules!" Li Yan pushed Chang'an away with a smile, and hurried to the study.

"Hey! I'm a hooligan, Your Highness, you let me tease you even once!" Chang'an shouted at the figure behind him, getting rejected again and again, why is this man not enthusiastic at all when he returns to Jinling!

The imperial decree came down, and the king of Wei was exiled in Beihai, and he could not return without the edict.

The night before yesterday, Concubine Jia hanged herself in the cold palace. As for whether she committed suicide or not, no one will pursue it. Li Jie gave her a face, and she was buried as a noble concubine.

In the gloomy dungeon, it was cold and damp, and the air was filled with a rancid smell.

Li Nuo raised his head, and through the strong prison door made of black iron, Li Yan's face reflected a cold light, making him look extraordinarily gloomy.

"Did His Royal Highness come here to make fun of your brother?" Li Nuo leaned against the cold stone wall, his whole body slumped.

"Brother Wang is serious. People are doing what the sky is watching. Some things are not reported, but the time has not yet come."

Li Nuo seemed to have touched the last nerve, jumped up and rushed forward, screaming at Li Yan: "It's you, you are the one who designed to frame our mother and son, and the mother and concubine were killed by you!"

Li Yan took a step back calmly, his face was calm, and his voice was cold, "If Concubine Jia hadn't moved Empress Xiaoxian, maybe the bloody corpse would be placed in front of the father, he would be scruples about the deep love between father and son, but you two I have touched the last bottom line of my father, and I have to thank this brilliant Concubine Jia!"

"Li Yan, do you think you can defeat me like this!" Li Nuo's eyes were cleaved, his expression was terrified, "How long do you think you can live!"

Li Yan smiled contemptuously, "Everyone knows that I won't live to be 20 years old, but I am 22 years old this year. Do you really think there is no cure for the poison of the west wind?"

Li Nuo widened his eyes and stared at Li Yan's indistinguishable face. He was only a ten-year-old child when he was poisoned by the "Quexifeng" poisoned by Concubine Jia. He had been pretending for more than ten years. , How deep is his mind? !

"Impossible, impossible. The imperial physicians said that there is no cure. Could it be that your coughing up blood is also faking? You are just at the end of your battle!"

Li Yan raised his head and smiled, "My brother," the call of "brother" was really innocent, like ordinary brothers playing around.

He lifted up his sleeves, and there was a dense bloodstain of needles on his arm. He smiled sinisterly and palely, "Ten years ago, I was lucky enough to meet Xue Shenzhen, and I saved my life before the gate of hell closed, and got a book of needles from her. Brother, have you heard of 'Qingping'?"

"Qingze? How is it possible?!"

The technique of Qingping is just a kind of legend in the world. It uses acupuncture to divert the blood vessels and narrow the toxins in the body. However, this kind of acupuncture technique is too dangerous. If you are not careful, your blood vessels will flow backwards and you will die.

"I've only learned a little bit of superficiality. By means of acupuncture, the blood in my body is squeezed, causing coughing up of blood, which naturally causes physical weakness. Even the imperial doctor can't see it."

Li Nuo fell to the ground with all his strength, "You are really ruthless, you can do this to yourself, even the emperor has misunderstood you!"

"Brother," Li Yan stretched out his hand to straighten the messy hair on Li Nuo's forehead through the cell fence, "You have always been jealous of my father's concern for me, you are wrong, my father has never really loved anyone Son, he is only guilty of his mother and concubine. When your mother and son poisoned my mother and concubine to death, you found a court lady to take the blame. Under the pressure of the Jiang family, the father found a reason to close the case at will. He is just ashamed, you See when he treated anyone like a father, no, never!"

"In the end, brother, you are just a poor son who is fighting for attention in front of his father."

Li Nuo raised his eyes in despair and looked at the dark window above his head, which was pale and ghastly.

"Sometimes I really wish I had never poisoned you. If you weren't weak, how could the father pay more attention to you? Even if it was just a small talk, I never got it, and the concubine mother never got what she wanted all her life. She has been intriguing all her life, and she is no match for Empress Xiaoxian! But Empress Xiaoxian was deposed by his own decree. Empress Xiaoxian committed suicide and died. What is the use of him rebuilding the palace, posthumous title, and lavish burial? The emperor, huh, But they're all poor, penniless ghosts."

"Li Chengqi! Just guard the world you dream of, and die alone!"

Li Nuo cursed viciously, Li Yan just regarded it as the dying words of a crazy person, and left the prison without looking back.

Wei Wang Li Nuo committed suicide in the sky prison. When the prison guard delivered the meal early in the morning, his body was already cold, his eyes were wide open, and he died with regret!

A prince, at the last moment, maintained his dignity.

Born in Jinling, died in Jinling.

He couldn't escape half a step until his death!

Li Jie aired out the civil and military affairs of the whole court, and he shrugged off his discomfort early in the court.

"It's really cold!"

Li Yan stepped on the thin snow and walked back to the palace without stopping.

It was Uncle Li who greeted the door, "Master Chang'an has been called into the palace by His Majesty."

Li Yan frowned, feeling faintly uneasy, and rushed to the palace without entering the door.
