Before Lin Shuxian was buried, the Prime Minister's family was thrown into a prison and ordered to be executed at a later date.
Xuan Ningyi had to admire Xuan Ningxuan's style of not giving his opponent any time to rest.
"Shuxian, I am going to the prison, and I can't accompany you now." Xuan Ningyi said apologetically. He had only been with Lin Shuxian for less than two days, but he could not stay with her all the time.
When Xuan Ningyi arrived at the Tianlao alone, he was blocked by the guards guarding the Tianlao.
"Please forgive me, Fourth Prince. No one is allowed to enter the prison without the emperor's token." The guard said respectfully.
Xuan Ningxuan snorted heavily and quickly turned around and left.
Ignoring the eunuch's dissuasion, Xuan Ningyi broke into Xuan Ningxuan's study room.
Xuan Ningxuan slowly raised his head, waved his hand to let the people leave, with an expression like "I knew you were coming."
"Xuan Ningxuan, the person you want to get rid of is me, why do you want to embarrass the Prime Minister?" Xuan Ningyi lifted Xuan Ningxuan up by his clothes and asked angrily.
Shaking Xuan Ningyi's hand away forcefully, a sneer appeared at the corner of Xuan Ningxuan's mouth.
"Fourth brother, the prime minister is your grandfather, do you think I will let him go? I might as well tell you that all this was designed by me. Fourth brother just waits to collect the bodies of the prime minister's family." His cold eyes were full of pride.
color.
Anger flashed in his dark eyes, but he could only suppress his anger and said through gritted teeth: "Your Majesty, please allow me to go to the prison to see the Prime Minister for the last time."
Xuan Ningxuan showed a proud smile, picked up a token from the table and threw it on Xuan Ningyi's chest.
Xuan Ningyi reached out to catch it and glared at Xuan Ningxuan bitterly. Xuan Ningxuan had known that he was coming, so he had prepared the token. Without the emperor's token, he could not enter the heavenly prison. It was just an excuse, an
An excuse to humiliate him.
Although Xuan Ningxuan blocked all information from Murong Jingwan, he underestimated the strength of Shuiyun Palace. Not long after Xuan Ningyi left, Murong Jingwan appeared in the imperial study.
"Why do you do this?" Murong Jingwan asked coldly as soon as she saw Xuan Ningxuan.
Xuan Ningxuan immediately stood up with a smile on his face, but secretly worried in his heart.
"Queen, I don't understand what you are saying!" Xuan Ningxuan looked at Murong Jingwan aggrievedly and avoided answering.
"Why do you want to kill the entire Prime Minister's family? Even if he once supported the Fourth Prince, it was only because he was the Fourth Prince's grandfather. Why did you frame the Prime Minister?" Murong Jingwan asked Xuan Ningxuan loudly.
"Queen, I am your husband." Xuan Ningxuan became jealous and said loudly.
"I'm asking you why you framed Zhongliang. Please don't avoid the topic, Your Majesty." Murong Jingwan said coldly. Xuan Ningxuan's actions had made her lose all her patience.
Murong Jingwan's questioning caused a trace of displeasure to flash across Xuan Ningxuan's face, and she said coldly: "Queen, you didn't use the same method I used to deal with Queen Xuan Ningyi back then."
Murong Jingwan's face suddenly turned pale. It turned out that all this was her fault. Xuan Ningxuan just used the same methods she had used. What right did she have to question Xuan Ningxuan.
Seeing Murong Jingwan's pale face, Xuan Ningxuan couldn't help but regret his recklessness.
"Queen, I didn't mean it." Xuan Ningxuan comforted her softly.
"Your Majesty, you are not wrong. This is all my fault." Murong Jingwan slowly walked out of Xuan Ningxuan's study room with her hands hanging by her side tightly clenched into fists.
It turned out that she had turned into such a vicious woman unknowingly. It was her mother's fault, or it was her fault.
With Xuan Ningxuan's token in hand, the guards led Xuan Ningxuan to the prison where the prime minister was imprisoned without stopping him.
Even though he was wearing prison clothes and shackles, the Prime Minister still looked calm and was not afraid of his impending death.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, it was Yi'er who hurt you." Because of his abandonment, his relatives left him one after another, how could Xuan Ningyi not feel pain.
The prime minister raised his head and looked at his grandson who was immersed in sorrow. He had already seen through the royal battle that the loser was destined to die.
"Since ancient times, no one has died. Grandpa is not afraid of death. The one he worries about the most is you. It's all because he is too careless." The prime minister looked at Xuan Ningyi worriedly.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry. Yi'er is useless and can't save you." How could Xuan Ningyi not blame himself? His mother left, Lin Shuxian died because of him, and grandpa is his only relative in the world.
"Silly boy, this is all doomed, it's just painful..." The prime minister sighed heavily and stopped talking, not wanting to add to Xuan Ningyi's self-blame.
"Grandpa, don't you blame Yi'er for falling in love with someone you shouldn't love." Xuan Ningyi remembered what his mother asked him before she died.
The Prime Minister shook his head slowly and said: "Yi'er, all this is destined, don't blame yourself too much. Remember, the current Queen may be the only one who can save you."
As soon as the prime minister finished speaking, two guards walked up to Xuan Ningyi one after another and said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, the time has come, please move elsewhere."
Staring at the two of them fiercely, Xuan Ningyi glanced at the prime minister with nostalgia and slowly walked out of the prison.
Murong Jingwan stood quietly in the palace. The prime minister was imprisoned. Although she was not the main conspirator, it was indirectly caused by her. She could not watch the prime minister die innocently.
Murong Jingwan sat quietly on the chair, waiting for nightfall.
The quiet black outside the window enveloped the earth, and the crescent moon in the sky looked particularly bright and clear.
But now is not the time to act, Murong Jingwan is afraid that Xuan Ningxuan will suddenly visit.
Just as Murong Jingwan expected, Xuan Ningxuan stood outside her bedroom with an apologetic face.
"What are you doing here?" There was no emotion in his cold tone.
"I'm here to apologize for what happened today." Xuan Ningxuan held Murong Jingwan's jade hand and said apologetically.
Shaking off Xuan Ningxuan's hand, Murong Jingwan said coldly: "Your Majesty, Jingwan has said that none of this is your fault. It's getting late, and Jingwan wants to rest."
To Murong Jingwan's expectation, Xuan Ningxuan actually smiled and said: "I won't disturb the Queen's rest. Thank you Queen for your forgiveness." Xuan Ningxuan quickly placed a loud kiss on Murong Jingwan's ear.
It wasn't until Xuan Ningxuan's figure disappeared into the night that Murong Jingwan came back to her senses.
Xuan Ningxuan's unusual behavior gave Murong Jingwan an ominous premonition in her heart.
But the matter was imminent, and Murong Jingwan was not allowed to think too much. Murong Jingwan quickly changed out of her gorgeous clothes, put on a set of black night clothes, and disappeared into the dark night.
Seeing Murong Jingwan's disappearing figure, Xuan Ningxuan slowly walked out from the corner with an intriguing smile on his face.
