Beijing

The emperor was seriously ill and unconscious. The second prince served in the palace and the prince temporarily took charge of the court affairs!

On the surface, the situation in the palace was warm and peaceful. The situation they were worried about was a situation where father and son were killed and brothers and feet were severing.

However, what happened to the second prince and the prince never left the palace since they entered the palace?

Is the second prince really filial and serves the emperor so hard that he is inseparable? And the prince is busy day and night? Both of them are so busy that they can't take off their bodies, so busy that they can't leave the palace at all?

Maybe it’s not that they don’t want to leave, but that they can’t leave!

As time goes by, not only one person feels that the prince and the second prince have been staying in the palace, not because of filial piety or busyness. But because both of them have been under house arrest!

And who has such great power and ability to enclose them in the palace? Everyone has their own answers.

Zhenguo Mansion

"elder brother!"

Pei Rengang came back from outside. Pei Yu walked past quickly, looked at him and said tightly, "Brother, Pei Rong rushed back to the capital from the border with his troops. Is it true?"

Pei Ren nodded, "It's true."

Pei Yu felt tight and looked solemn, "The emperor did not summon him. Why did he come back suddenly? Is it because he was worried about his grandfather? Or..." The emperor was seriously ill and the emperor was changing, and it was about to break out. Pei Rong had already stood in line. He came back at this time and was not for others, just to help someone ascend the throne?

And who did he support? The crown prince, the second prince, or... King Yi'an?!

Thinking of this, Pei Yu felt heavy. No matter who it was, before the emperor passed away, before he could stand up for the imperial decree of the new emperor, all his support would be decisive. Because the reputation was not justified!

Even if you succeed in the end, you will definitely be sick and tainted by future generations.

Pray for rebellion!

The Pei family has been famous for a hundred years. If it were the words "Pei Rong" in one fell swoop, it would be unbearable.

"Brother, what is Pei Rong thinking?" Pei Yu said in a deep voice.

Before the new king decided, it was a taboo to take a rashly side. Pei Rong should understand such a simple truth.

"Let's talk about it when you go back to the study!" Pei Ren said, and walked towards the study.

Pei Yu walked and said, "My grandfather must know about this matter as soon as possible. Brother, have you sent someone to tell her grandfather?"

No matter what Pei Rong was thinking, the only one who could stop him at the moment should be the Duke of the State.

Lingyun Temple

In the early morning, Lingyun Temple is filled with incense, quiet and peaceful!

The Fourth Master walked up slowly on the steps, walked to the hall, stopped, looked at the people inside, and looked at the tall Buddha statues that looked down on all living beings, with distant eyes and long. "The little monk has seen the prince."

The young monk who was cleaning the temple saw the Fourth Master and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The Fourth Master turned his eyes, looked at him, and said lightly, "Do you think the Buddha can really save all living beings?"

After hearing this, the little monk looked at the fourth master and said, "Go back to the prince, as long as you are dedicated to the Buddha, the Buddha will bless you."

When the Fourth Master heard the words, he looked at him, curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled inexplicably, but the little monk couldn't understand it.

The Fourth Master said nothing and stepped into the hall.

The guards automatically dispersed and guarded everywhere.

The little monk looked at the guard standing at the door, holding a long sword in his hand, lowered his eyes, "Amitabha!" He silently said in his heart and put down his butcher's knife and became a Buddha, then left lightly and continued to clean the yard.

The Fourth Master walked into the hall and looked at the person who was kneeling on the cushion and chanting the Buddha statue, closing his eyes and chanting the scriptures. He watched quietly without saying a word.

For a moment, there was nothing else in the hall except the sound of Concubine Dong chanting scriptures.

After a long time, Concubine Dong closed the scriptures, slowly opened her eyes, turned her head, and saw the Fourth Master, with kind eyes and eyes as usual, "You are here."

"How dare you not come if the concubine summons me?"

It's the concubine, no longer the mother.

What does the change of name mean?!

Concubine Dong smiled slightly, gently with a hint of comfort, and said leisurely, "I feel much more comfortable when I hear you shouting like this. In fact, every time I hear you call you mother, I feel uncomfortable and feel sorry for the Queen Mother."

After hearing this, the Fourth Master said lightly, "Why do you feel even more uncomfortable when you hear Mo Xi calling the Queen Mother?"

Concubine Dong nodded, "It's true. But I can endure it for Xier's safety and glory."

"The concubine has done a good job. But I am very curious. How did you exchange me and Mo Xi?"

That's right! It's just a replacement!

The Fourth Master is actually the Empress Dowager's biological son, while the Sixth Prince Mo Xi is the biological son of Concubine Dong.

After hearing the Fourth Master’s question, Concubine Dong smiled, "There is no difficulty. The Empress Dowager was neglected at that time, and I, Long Pet, was in full swing. It was not difficult to do something!" As she said, the smile on her lips became meaningful and thought-provoking. "In addition, after the Empress Dowager gave birth to you, she had a heavy bleeding. Her own life was in danger. She didn’t even have the strength to look at you, so she was taken away by the nurse. So, even though you and Mo Xi were three days apart, even if there was a significant difference at the beginning, it was seven days after the Empress Dowager survived the crisis. At that time, you were ten days, Mo Xi was seven days, and the two children were put together, and I couldn’t even see anything abnormal, let alone the Empress Dowager!"

Concubine Dong said calmly and calmly. However, Wu You listened, his heart was filled with storms and waves.

Seeing how Concubine Dong was when she first talked about the empress dowager's heavy bleeding, Wu You felt reason to suspect that the empress dowager's heavy bleeding was probably related to Concubine Dong.

Seeing Concubine Dong like this, he felt a little unacceptable and unbearable when listening to the past. And what was the master feeling at this time?

The Queen Mother and the Master...

He spared no effort to make things difficult and tried to murder... The Queen Mother used to do this to his master. And the master was almost the same.

It was obviously a mother and son, but they lived to be hostile. And this was all caused by Concubine Dong!

Looking at Concubine Dong, the Fourth Master felt what he felt and what he was thinking, only he knew.

"What is the reason for changing me and Mo Xi?"

"Because the late emperor said that all he could give me was the position of imperial concubine, and I didn't think about the others. However, although he could not give me the position of subordinate, he would definitely give me the ultimate favor." Concubine Dong said, with unconcealed mockery in her eyes, "It would be nothing if she could always do that. But he actually said that the throne must be given to Mo Hong in the end, and the Empress Dowager Zhou must be. I cannot accept this!"

"If Mo Hong succeeds to the throne, how can I still have a way out? I have a deep grudge with Empress Dowager Zhou. If she becomes the empress dowager, I will die. And Mo Hong will definitely allow my son to succeed! Therefore, only by letting Mo Xi become the empress dowager's son can I save his life."

The Fourth Master heard this and said, "I was surprised that the late emperor would tell you this!"

After hearing this, Concubine Dong smiled slightly and said, "If you were sober, the late emperor would definitely not say it. However, it would not be true after getting drunk! The late emperor had the habit of saying everything he knew and saying everything he could. I wonder if King Yi'an knew about this?"

The Fourth Master didn't say anything.

Wu You pursed his mouth tightly, and it turned out that the master's wine was followed by the late emperor.

This wine can be said to be a fatal weakness. The late emperor may also know this, so he should have hidden it very closely. Otherwise, he would not even know the master.

As Concubine Dong said, looking at the Fourth Master, she said lightly, "But before Mo Hong succeeded to the throne, I was framed and said to have an affair with Xiao Zhong, and fell into a whirlpool." At that time, she was particularly glad that she had been decisive and cruel enough to be decisive and cruel enough!

If she hadn't replaced Mo Chang and Mo Xi, then it would be her son who suffered. So, thank you, it was Mo Chang who suffered at that time.

Listening to Concubine Dong's words, Wu You held the sword tightly, and his murderous intent surged.

Because of that incident, the master was displaced and hiding in the market for more than ten years, and was implicated innocently. However, when Concubine Dong was still able to sit in the Buddhist temple without being moved by the years when his master disappeared and his life and death were uncertain, it was not because she was calm enough, but because she didn't care at all.

The Fourth Master was silent. When he was young, he looked at Concubine Dong and said, "The Queen was so sad that Yan Li and Mo Xi fell into the secret passage. Isn't that an accident?"

After hearing this, Concubine Dong said lightly, "I don't know about that."

However, when the Queen Mother was in the death of the Queen Mother, Concubine Dong felt very happy. At that time, she regretted that the Queen Mother died too early. If she could tell her the truth before she died, then... she really wanted to see her die with her eyes open.

Not sure?

Hearing the answer from Concubine Dong, the Fourth Master Liang Liang said lightly, "Maybe I didn't explain it clearly. It should be said that Yan Li fell was an accident. But Mo Xi was not like this!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Dong looked at the Fourth Master and fell silent.

Mo Xi's fall was indeed not an accident, but intentional. The purpose was to destroy the secret passage leading from her bedroom to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Back then, she replaced Mo Chang and Mo Xi, and the secret passage was the key. However, when the empress dowager was alive, she did not dare to act rashly, worried that the empress dowager would be discovered, which would arouse her suspicion. Therefore, she decided to destroy it when the empress dowager was in a great mourning state, so she would not have any clues to be discovered by the emperor when she was tidying up the empress dowager's palace, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

As a result, Yan Li would fall unexpectedly at that time, which then caused a series of incidents.

Thinking that because of that unexpected incident, Mo Xi actually had an undeserved thought of Yan Li, Concubine Dong felt a little angry. If Mo Xi died before he could accomplish anything, Concubine Dong would not accept it.

So, it was going to ruin Yan Li. It was just that the development of things was obviously beyond her expectations, but that was good.

But now, since Mo Chang knew that Mo Xi was falling on purpose, does it mean that when he was looking for Yan Li in the secret passage, he was already suspicious?

Thinking of this, Concubine Dong looked at the Fourth Master, her eyes changed. Shao Shi spoke and said lightly, "Dare you ask King Yi'an, is Xie Qi okay now?"

Thank you!

When the name was spit out from Concubine Dong's mouth, Wu You's heart suddenly sank, and the thing he was most worried about might have happened after all.

Xie Qi abducted Yan Li, and if he just wanted to use the power of the Fourth Master to destroy the Chu family, it would be fine. The whole thing would naturally end when Xie Qi was captured. But if Xie Qi was just a chess piece, and the planner behind the scenes was Concubine Dong. Then, it might not be that simple.

A trace of sternness passed through the Fourth Master's eyes, and his eyes were pitch black. "What did you do to Yan Li?"

Seeing the Fourth Master's expression, after hearing this, Concubine Dong raised her mouth almost invisible, and her heart felt much more relieved. She said, "This, if you ask Xie Qi, you will know."

The Fourth Master looked at Concubine Dong, controlling the bloody surging in his heart, and said, "What do you want?"

"I want you to stop chasing Mo Xi, and I also want you and Pei Rong to join hands to embrace him as the emperor!"

After hearing this, the Fourth Master looked at the face without any fluctuations. What Concubine Dong had planned was expected.

The Fourth Master said nothing, looked at her and got up and left.

Concubine Dong knelt on the cushion, quietly looking at the fourth master's back as he left, and remained silent.
