King Rui stood opposite King Huai with a calm expression. His expression looked better than that of King Huai: "Oh? But why do I think you just want to cover up your guilt by saying this?"
"Guilty? What a joke. Why am I guilty?"
"If you really feel that you have done nothing wrong, then why are you denying it in such a panic? Why are you so angry because of Miss Wen?" King Rui's voice was gentle from beginning to end.
After Yichen got rid of the entanglement of the killer, he quickly returned to King Huai, staring at King Rui and Mo Feng beside him with a wary expression.
"So it's you. This kid of yours is very lucky." King Rui squinted his eyes and glanced at Yichen.
Yichen kept a straight face and said nothing, and just tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand.
"Fighting head-on with others has never been my strength, and I have no interest in it. But I want to remind you that some people have always been good at this." His eyes drifted to one of the many palaces.
Building.
Although he didn't say it clearly, it seemed that everyone could clearly understand what the other party meant. Prince Huai frowned unnoticeably and glanced at Yichen.
Yichen lowered his head and said nothing. The prince was the protagonist of today's ceremony, and his safety was the most important. Therefore, Yichen deployed most of his people to the area from Jinshui Bridge to Fengtian Hall.
The security in other places in the palace cannot be said to be lax, but compared with this place, it is naturally far worse. The prince brought Wen Shaoxue back to the palace yesterday because he was naturally worried about her safety. Yichen really had not thought of that before.
She may also encounter danger in the palace.
"Your Majesty, you know very well that Prince Rui is cunning and changeable. Maybe this is just a ploy to lure you away from the heavy protection."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. You can also think that I'm just joking or trying to distract you." King Rui said calmly.
"No, I want to take people back to have a look now." Prince Huai felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Yichen shook his head: "Your Majesty, no matter what, we have to resolve the situation at hand first. Once the confrontation is destroyed, it will definitely be very detrimental to us."
We must take advantage of the immediate advantage to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. It would be best if King Rui ends here.
"How could I come to attend the ceremony of King Huai without bringing any gifts? The reason why the old eunuch suddenly exploded just now was because he had special gunpowder tied to his body. Do you think there are other people in front of you who are the same except him?
Where did the people bring gunpowder?"
"What do you mean? What good will this do to you?" Yichen said in disbelief and surprise: "Aren't the lives of the civil and military officials or these ancestral temples worthless to you?"
"That can't be said. To me, although they are not valuable, they are not worthless. But to another friend of mine, these things are worthless."
Most of his friends have already made guesses: "King Zhou? When did you get in touch with him? Do you know that he opened the Shanhaiguan Pass and led the Manchu army into the pass?"
Yichen couldn't believe how such a person, King Rui, could talk about cooperation with him? "Do you know the consequences of indulging him? By then, it will not only be us, but you, and the entire Ming Dynasty, and the world will be finished!"
Yichen's voice was a little excited.
"I'm not cooperating with him, nor am I condoning him. I just have a common goal in a very short period of time and each gets what he needs. That's why I'm reminding you now."
"Ha...remind me? Are you so kind?" Prince Huai's repeated movements pulled the wound on his abdomen, and he couldn't help but cover that place with his hand.
"The grudge between me and you, I don't want to implicate innocent people anymore. This is what I have always wanted to say to you. You have done too much harm to the Ding family and owe their family too much."
"Zhu Changhao, do you know? The biggest difference between you and me is that I will never sit still and wait for death." Zhu Changqing spoke slowly.
"Sit back and wait for death?" Zhu Changhao chuckled: "Until the last moment, how do you know that I am sitting back and waiting for death instead of taking the initiative?"
Mo Feng looked Zhu Changqing up and down: "You are injured."
King Huai rolled his eyes. Isn't this nonsense? Are all the martial arts miracle doctors today at this level?
Mo Feng was not affected by his questioning tone at all: "Of course I am not referring to your small wound. That wound has little impact on you. It will be better in a month at most. But the dagger was passed
I have specially processed it to achieve this effect..."
Yichen was furious: "What do you mean? Please explain it clearly to me."
"I've made it very clear. We are all smart people and should be able to understand what I mean." Mo Feng replied cheerfully.
"Doctor Mo, I remember that the Medicine Pavilion has always claimed not to participate in the affairs of the court. It is said that it has remained neutral for a hundred years. Why is this tradition going to be changed now?" King Huai didn't seem to care about what they just said.
"This is my private matter, so I won't discuss it further with Prince Huai. It just depends on what choice the prince plans to make now."
Prince Huai smiled half-heartedly: "Then what does Doctor Mo think my king will choose?"
"Let me tell you, of course nothing is more important than living. What do you think, Prince?"
Prince Huai sneered, turned his gaze to Yichen, and made a silent mouth gesture.
Yichen pursed his lips and said nothing. He stared at Mo Feng with a cold look, as if he wanted to poke a hole in him.
"It's useless for you to look at me like this. It's better to persuade your prince." Mo Feng blinked.
"It's useless to talk more. Since we all have the same goal, let's each speak according to our ability." King Huai waved his hand.
Several shadows poured out from all directions, and the Imperial Guards who had been ambushing below for a long time had also completed the siege. The scene at this time looked quite one-sided.
"Is it possible that if you become the emperor, you can even risk your life?" King Rui raised his eyebrows and asked funnyly.
"Sometimes living may not be much better than death. People are always going to die. It's just a matter of sooner or later. Besides, you don't seem to be qualified to question me about this issue, right? For the sake of people who don't even care about their lives now.
Isn’t that the person standing in front of me?”
"I'm different from you. If I really had a choice, I wouldn't take this path." King Rui lowered his eyes and chuckled. Maybe he had a chance to choose, but unfortunately in the end due to various reasons, he couldn't.
