Today's palace is more solemn than in the past. Even the clouds in the sky seem to be against it. From time to time, they block the warm sunshine and let the dull darkness envelope the palace. It makes people feel unreasonable. irritable.
Baili Yeheng kneeling on the ground in the imperial study room, and Baili Zhancheng sitting behind the desk with a gloomy face, made the maids and eunuchs who passed by the door even more worried. At this moment, the three of them Prince Baili Yexuan hurriedly walked to the imperial study, making people curious about the affairs of the father and son.
"Beast! Say it again!" Baili Zhancheng slammed the memorial he was reviewing, stood up and glared at Baili Yeheng angrily after he finished speaking, his body even trembling uncontrollably.
Baili Yeheng didn't even frown. He just raised the imperial edict he received not long ago with both hands above his head to show his determination.
At this time, Baili Yexuan walked in slowly. When he saw all this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He immediately saluted respectfully, and then asked curiously: "Father, brother, what are you doing?"
Baili Zhancheng's expression suddenly softened when he saw Baili Yexuan, but when he saw the stubborn Baili Yeheng, he was still full of anger, snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's not you yet. This ignorant imperial brother! Prince, it is unreasonable that the emperor thinks highly of you, but now you have accepted the imperial edict and want to return it. Do you know that you are resisting the edict and disrespecting it?!"
Baili Yeheng naturally understood what Baili Zhancheng meant. Disobeying the imperial edict would lead to death. Even though he was the prince, as long as Baili Zhancheng gave the order, he would not be able to escape prison, and he would most likely die. After all, Baili Zhancheng has been waiting for this opportunity for too long.
However, because Baili Ye Hengfang pacified southern Xinjiang and protected him with meritorious service, most of the ministers in the court supported him, plus the power behind Ye Hexiong and Queen Ye He, as well as the people's pursuit of him, Baili Ye Hengfang Although Zhan Cheng thought this was a rare opportunity, he did not dare to attack Baili Yeheng easily.
"I would like to inform my father. I know that I am disrespectful to my father by doing this. I am even more sorry for my grandfather and everyone else's expectations of me. I deserve the death penalty. I just ask my father to see that I am infatuated with Mo Ran." If you go up, you can help me." Baili Yeheng had no choice but to submit in this situation.
Baili Yexuan was just watching the show to gloat at the misfortune, but from Baili Yeheng's tone, he found Huai Moran and decided to stay together with them? Thinking of this, his expression became gloomy. He glanced at Baili Zhancheng, who was silent, and said calmly: "Brother, you are the one who will inherit the throne in the future. How can you let down your father's expectations because of your children's affair?"
Baili Yeheng sneered in his heart, but said with sincerity on his face: "Third brother, you have always been much smarter than the emperor, and you are definitely more suitable to lead the army than me. What's more... Mo Ran is here to help me defeat Southern Xinjiang. This gives the villain a chance to take advantage of her... If something really happens to her, I don't want to live alone."
After Baili Zhancheng and Baili Yexuan heard this, they were both stunned. Immediately, Baili Yexuan said nervously: "What's wrong with Mo Ran?" As soon as the words came out, a sharp look came over her. , Baili Yexuan lowered his head in silence with some reluctance, but held his sleeves tightly with his big hands.
Baili Zhancheng looked at his unfulfilled son and couldn't help but feel a little angry. He knew that Baili Yeheng was full of tricks and must have seen that Baili Yexuan had feelings for Huai Moran, so he said these words, so he became angry.
He glared at Baili Yeheng and said in a deep voice to Baili Yexuan: "Southern Xinjiang General Xian Yurong was full of tricks and poisoned the princess's belly. Your brother is going to take her to find the antidote.
"
Baili Yexuan's expression changed drastically. He wished he could hold onto Baili Yeheng and ask more about Huai Moran, but Baili Zhancheng's eyes were so cold and cold that he didn't dare to say anything.
When Baili Zhancheng saw that Baili Yeheng had not spoken, he nodded slightly with satisfaction and said with a cold face: "Ye Heng, you should know that Jun Wuyan, anyone who disobeys the imperial edict should be killed according to the law, but you are our country, the Great China
Your prince has made countless contributions to our country, and he is my most valued son. What do you want me to do?"
Baili Yeheng frowned slightly, then bowed even lower, and said in a deep voice: "Father, I know that I have committed a serious crime, and I have no face to be the prince again. Please ask Father to depose me."
The title of Crown Prince is used to accuse the sons and ministers of their crimes."
Baili Zhancheng's eyes lit up, and for a moment, he even wanted to scream, because he never expected that one day, Baili Yeheng would take the initiative to ask him to abolish it. He glanced at Baili Ye lightly.
Xuan, but found that there was no trace of joy on his son's face at this time, but a frown on his face. He could tell what he was thinking at a glance. He couldn't help but snorted coldly, trying to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart. He thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Although
You are the crown prince of a country and the legitimate son that I and the Queen love most. However, the emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty. I hope you understand...this is also a last resort."
Baili Yeheng was disdainful, so why did he do it as a last resort? If it was Baili Yexuan who was pleading at this time, he would at most force him to shut up and think about it for a few days, but... if it were him... he slowly closed his eyes, holding in his hand
As soon as it was empty, the imperial edict was taken back by Eunuch Liu.
He knelt on the ground and worshiped devoutly: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." At least, he was lucky that Baili didn't immediately order his death after the victory.
In this way, the prince Baili Yeheng, who was praised by the people, was abandoned by the emperor on the day when he was supposed to go to war. There are many opinions on the reason for his abandonment. Some people said that this was something that the emperor had planned for a long time. Some said that it was something that the emperor had planned for a long time.
The prince of the dynasty has only courage but no strategy, so it is difficult for him to hold a big responsibility. However, what is more important is that he, Baili Yeheng, was willing to give up his position as prince for the sake of his beloved princess.
No matter how many opinions from the outside world, it cannot change the fact that Baili Yeheng was abandoned.
After learning the news, unlike the ministers who interceded for Baili Yeheng one after another, Queen Ye He behaved extremely calmly. She still spent every day admiring flowers and feeding birds in her yard, just like the abandoned
Not like his own son.
However, although Baili Zhancheng fulfilled his wish and deposed the crown prince, he did not succeed in establishing Baili Yexuan as the crown prince as he wished, because this decision was unanimously opposed by all the ministers. Even Baili Yexuan's party members believed that the time was not right.
When he arrived, he had no choice but to suppress his mood and let Baili Yexuan lead the troops on the expedition. After he performed meritorious services, he would be crowned prince.
Of course, these are all things for later.
Let's just say that after Baili Yeheng successfully resisted the imperial decree and obtained the emperor's permission to go to southern Xinjiang, he returned to the Prince's Mansion without stopping. However, Leng Ao waited too long and actually left. Fortunately, he still had some conscience and stayed.
Got a note.
After Baili Yeheng quickly read the note, he abandoned his horse and used Qinggong to fly towards his destination. Before leaving, he keenly felt that someone was trying to follow him. However, due to time constraints and Chuanyun's recent days, he felt that someone was trying to follow him.
He had been assisting Qingfeng in handling affairs at Chongzi Villa, so he had no time or patience to get to know these people, and besides, they would never be able to keep up with him.
Yufeng flew for about a cup of tea, and Baili Yeheng finally arrived on the cliff where he and Leng Ao often came. At this time, Leng Ao stood with his hands behind his back facing the sea of clouds, with his long black hair blowing in the wind.
Indescribably romantic and wanton, Baili Yeheng slowly walked forward, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you invite me here? Do you want to fight me to the death?"
Leng Ao glanced at him indifferently and snorted: "Looking at your expression, it seems that I don't need to call you His Royal Highness from now on."
Baili Yeheng was not as frustrated or annoyed as he imagined. He even turned around and looked at the sea of clouds very relaxedly. With a warm smile on his lips, he said lightly: "Yeah, you know? I actually feel
I feel extremely relaxed, as if a burden has finally been lifted off me.”
Leng Ao just looked at him coldly and said nothing.
"Where is she?" Baili Yeheng no longer wasted time paying homage to his past, but looked at Leng Ao seriously and asked.
Leng Ao pointed to his feet and said calmly: "Here."
Baili Yeheng frowned deeply, his face instantly turned gloomy, and he said in a bad tone: "Are you kidding me?"
Leng Ao looked at the murderous Baili Yeheng and knew that he had misunderstood what he meant. He couldn't help but smile coldly, raised his beautiful long eyebrows, pointed to the bottomless cliff covered with clouds, and said lightly
: "I mean she is under the cliff, not at my feet."
Baili Yeheng's expression was not at all relaxed. The cliff was so high. If Huai Moran was really at the bottom of the cliff, he would have already fallen into a puddle of mud. What's the difference between that and being buried under his feet?
"Under the cliff is my secret mansion. It was built by me. It is the home in my memory. Whenever I have something on my mind, I will come here to stay for a while." Leng Ao ignored Baili Yeheng's expression.
, just explained indifferently.
Seeing his serious face, Baili Yeheng couldn't help but relax a little, and finally understood why he couldn't find Leng Ao's people at every turn, but he immediately thought of another problem, that is, Huai Moran was placed in his by Leng Ao
At home.
Thinking of this, he snorted angrily with a look of displeasure on his face, raised his eyebrows and said, "Since this is your home, why did you let Mo Ran go? It ruined her reputation for nothing!"
Leng Ao looked at his amused look and couldn't help but sneered. There was a bit of contempt in his radiant almond-shaped eyes, and he said in a calm tone: "She is my sister, what's the problem with living in my house?
And if I don’t tell anyone, no one will know that I have a secret mansion there unless they are dead people who fall off a cliff.”
Baili Yeheng was speechless now. He looked at the bottom of the cliff and immediately prepared to go down without thinking. Leng Ao frowned slightly, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?"
Baili Yeheng threw his hand away, snorted coldly, and said lightly: "You? You don't have the ability to trip me up yet." Although he said so, he knew that he believed in Leng Ao.
As a person, I also believe that even though the two of them often have friction and misunderstandings because of the two women, they will never harm each other.
Leng Ao nodded slightly with satisfaction and was about to turn around and leave.
Seeing this, Baili Yeheng asked curiously, "What? You're not going to go down?"
Leng Ao turned his face, with a bit of teasing in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said lazily: "You mean, you want me to steal your limelight?"
Baili Yeheng's slightly softened expression stiffened again, but...he frowned slightly, looked at Leng Ao, who was supposed to be his biggest love rival, and asked curiously: "Why do you want to help me? Don't you also like Mo Ran?"
"
Leng Ao seemed to have been poked in a painful spot, his face turned pale, and he slowly touched his forehead with one hand, seemingly casually but with indescribable sadness, and said leisurely: "Not everyone is like you.
