C794

It's rainy in spring and summer. At this time, it's raining outside the window, covering the moon and stars, leaving only a heavy darkness.

Duan Chengrui sits alone in the second floor of the small building. On the table top is the square wooden box which was taken out by his fourth brother to Qi Rou to watch. Seal porcelain is dressing up for Chang Yiqin, who is not far away from him. While Feng Yue puts two stacks of cakes on the table. Opposite Duan Chengrui sits Qi Rou in black.

Qi Rou just glanced at Chang Yiqin and said in a deep voice, "my father sold you this charming poppy fruit. Now you are using it to deal with your first wife?"

"I've been helping her quit. Two years of recuperation will be fine." Duan Chengrui said it was very cold, but he separated Feng Yue's hand and personally added a cup of ginger tea to Qi rou. His eyes fell on the raindrop on her shoulder, and he said again, "if you come tonight, you will not be afraid of losing your reputation."

"You know what I'm here for." Qi Rou squinted at him, only opened the wooden box in front of him, and revealed the imperial seal and a bright yellow imperial edict. However, Qi Rou's eyes fell on the silk of the imperial edict, and after a close look, he whispered, "this is not the true imperial edict."

"You've been soliciting many skilled craftsmen to go back to Qi's mansion to inquire these days, that's why." Duan Chengrui's face doesn't change.

"Only because I studied Erdan's ornaments because of Gu Mingyan, the ornaments beside the imperial edict were not changed at all, but I was shocked at that time, and I didn't want to ask for them for a while, so I checked them carefully." Qi Rou takes off the Cape hat on her head and looks at him with solemn eyes: "and Duan Chengyu hasn't come back yet."

No wonder Qi Rou cares about it.

"He's only been there for a day." Duan Chengyu is still indifferent.

"Even so, the post house has surrounded Erdan emissary. The news is not clear. He went to help Mrs. Yun Wan again. It's a coincidence." Not to mention that all the letters she sent had been washed away. Qi Rou is worried.

But Duan Chengrui remained unchanged. He took out the bright yellow imperial edict and pulled down the so-called imperial edict to let him succeed easily along the gap, revealing the handwriting belonging to his father.

Silence for a long time, Duan Chengrui just calmly read out: "everything is false."

Qi Rou opened her eyes slightly and took out the so-called national jade seal, while Duan Chengrui continued: "this national jade seal is also fake, and everything is just a game."

"How!"

"From the beginning, there was only one successor identified by his father." Duan Chengrui interrupts Qi Rou's exclamation, puts the fake imperial seal and the imperial edict back into the wooden box, and hands them to Feng Yue. His eyes are dim.

Duan Chengxuan doesn't even need to fight for anything.

……

I don't know how long I have been sitting in the palace.

On the Dragon bed, the Buddha finally opened a pair of chaotic eyes, quietly watching Duan Chengxuan for a long time, and then opened his mouth: "dangerous in the palace."

"Be careful." Duan Chengxuan clearly took the promise between the two brothers and tightly clenched his fist. He never thought that Duan Cong would look like this when he came back: "if I could come back earlier..."

"The imperial edict is in the dark lattice on the side of the bed. Duke Huang and his mother will protect me. Next, you will manage the government instead of me." Duan Cong had only the last strength to finish this sentence. Before Duan Chengxuan could react, he had closed his heavy eyelids, and Huang Gonggong walked in with a corner of the curtain lifted from the side.

"Your Highness, Prince Jing, it's not appropriate for the emperor to make a statement when he's being plotted. He can only say that he's seriously ill."

Mr. Huang frowned, and ordered two trusted maids to come in and serve the emperor. Duan Chengxuan here bent down with a calm face. The dark space was a secret place built by a craftsman after Duan Cong ascended the throne. No one knew.

It was easy to take out the imperial edict. Duke Huang had to say, "there are so many things. Your highness King Jing wants to investigate from that matter."

"I can't stay in the palace every day, Yaner..."

"It's a big thing, and I'd like to ask his Highness Prince Jing to think about the overall situation." Mr. Huang fell on his knees with a plop, and his whole body began to tremble. His eyes were red: "I will certainly do my best to help you."

Duan Chengxuan is in a dilemma. These things are too unexpected.

If Gu Mingyan was left alone in the ninth Prince's residence, he would have an accident. Unfortunately, he didn't expect that his brother would still be attacked by others in the midst of the siege. It's hard to have both national affairs and children's love.

In a moment of hesitation, another familiar face came in.

Meng Xu, who had not seen for a long time, knelt on the ground in his official robe, straightened his back and opened his mouth to Duan Chengxuan: "please give priority to the overall situation, the emperor's move is also a helpless move. Now if you hand over the affairs of the court to any Emperor's son, you will have the possibility of forcing the palace, but only you have sufficient forces at the beginning and end, and can be a great leader."

In short, it's a good shield.

It's a pity that it's very reasonable. Duan Chengxuan was silent for a long time before he whispered, "what if I don't want to?"

"I have told all the ministers that you are going to represent the court and government after you enter the palace according to the emperor's order. Now all the ministers are waiting for the instructions of his Highness Prince Jing in the Royal Library. Not only that, but all the people in the rear palace have already known about it. In a moment, there will be concubines crying about the assassins in the palace." Meng Xu is aggressive every word. Before Duan Chengxuan's body is full of murderous ideas, he has already buried his head and continued: "words are like wind. In a few days, the news of the canglan royal family will spread, and then you are afraid it will be more difficult to shut up the ministers."

Breathing, Duan Chengxuan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead: "I will send a letter to the ninth Prince's mansion."

"I can serve you personally." Meng Xu's self recommendation is just like giving Gu Mingyan some security.

Duan Chengxuan no longer hesitates.

After writing a letter, he began to ask about the court and the harem.

But he also believed in the brother.

When he left, the people on the longta had already got up, and their eyes were clear, watching Meng Xu, the dark official, coming in to salute him. They raised their hands and presented the letter to him.

Looking at Meng Xu's relatively young face, Duan Cong just touched the chin with Hu dregs and sneered: "at the beginning, you fell in love with Mingyan, but today you are so loyal to me."

"To be loyal to the emperor is the duty of the officials." Meng Xu slowly raised his head and looked at the mystery on Duan Cong's face, but then said, "why is the emperor so persistent in letting King Jing take over the throne?"

"Because my sons are ill." Duan Cong said something that Meng Xu didn't understand.

But the letter was thrown by Duan Cong into the fire pot which was just lit at his feet.

Duan Cong slowly stood up and said, "you are very useful. Don't ask again."

"Yes." Meng Xu lowered his head again.
