The complicated and lengthy ceremony had finally ended, and the funeral procession could finally return.
Now that they could finally go home and have a good meal and sleep, everyone who was exhausted breathed a sigh of relief. The speed of their return had unconsciously sped up. The group of people hurriedly ran back.
After working so hard for so long, Li Chenbai was tired and tired to the point that he couldn't take it anymore. However, he couldn't fall asleep while sitting in the bumpy carriage.
Just as he was fretting, a maid came running over to pass on the emperor's decree that Li Chengbai should return to the capital and meet with Qi De Palace.
Wei Gang spat at the servant's back, "What are you trying to do now!"
Hong Ying picked up a piece of pea yellow and threw it into the air. He then caught it firmly with his mouth. While chewing happily, he said in a vague manner, "Rest assured, your master is fine."
Hong Ying explained, "All along the way, he had poisoned his teacup twice, and the walking stick and prayer mat with the same poison. The effect was not fatal, so it can be seen that other people do not want their master to die. The poison in the Ape Mountain Valley is not that great, and its name is actually quite nice to hear, this is called Crystal. "
"Only to the eyes!"
Hong Ying stood up and extended two fingers to poke Wei Gang in the eyes. Wei Gang's palm came flying over, but it missed.
Hong Ying laughed heartily and poked Li Chenbai, "Hey, junior brother, you are such a fun guard."
Without waiting for Wei Gang to jump up, he changed the topic again and asked Li Chenbai in puzzlement, "Why did he use such a painless poison? I haven't been able to figure it out for days. "
"What's there not to understand?"
Li Chenbai stared at the swaying curtains, his voice was filled with exhaustion and hoarseness, "Amongst the princes, it is impossible for him to kill them all. He has to leave one or two behind to show his benevolence and magnanimity. I am the youngest, I don't have any military power, and my mother's family isn't outstanding enough, so it's the best choice. "
Hong Ying slapped his thigh. "I understand! The reason why I invited you into the palace is to see if you were to fall for my trick. If not, I'll give you a boost! "
"Fuck, isn't he tired?!" Hong Ying sighed.
"His real target is not me, but the grown and married prince with a son. Since second brother was already dead, third brother probably wouldn't be able to escape. "Let's see if Fourth Bro and I can escape."
He curled his lips coldly, "To me, he wants to go blind with poison. I wonder how he plans to deal with his other brothers. "
"You should worry about yourself," Hong Ying snorted coldly. "I can see that your other brothers are much stronger than you. There are experts by your side as well." As he said that, he glanced at Li Chenbai, "When your second brother died, the other brothers were so grateful for his acting skills!"
Hong Ying poured cold water on Li Chenbai: "Little junior brother, I am not talking about you, you should be a little hard on the heart, what are you thinking? Was he going to remind them? Aren't you afraid that others will sell you out? Tian Family has no flesh and blood, that's what you said. Your good brothers, why didn't they think of protecting you? Why didn't anyone come and warn you?! "
Hong Ying's words were sharp and blunt. Li Chenbai was slightly embarrassed: "You can't blame them. Everyone is unable to save themselves. "
Hong Ying walked up to Li Chenbai with a sneer and planned to teach him a lesson.
The teenager in front of him straightened his back and lowered his head. His thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and his black eyes were covered. His expression was as calm as water, and one could not see the waves in his eyes.
Although his expression could not be seen, the deep-seated sorrow and helplessness he felt directly pounced towards Hong Ying.
The scorching June sun was scorching the earth, and the carriage was stifling hot. Li Chenbai was in a dark corner, but it was as gloomy and desolate as a swamp in a wilderness.
He was only sixteen years old and still a child.
Hong Ying felt a sharp pain in his heart as he looked at Li Chenbai who was behaving like this. It was as if a needle had pierced through his heart.
He closed his mouth and sat back down. At least he didn't say anything more.
Li Chenbai alighted from the carriage at the Sky Bearing Empire and sat on the sedan, which was waiting for him under the Emperor's orders, all the way until it reached the area outside the Qi Lin Palace.
He asked the eunuch who accompanied him, and the emperor announced the other three princes. The others were already there, waiting for him.
Li Chengming looked down at his four younger brothers from the Qilin Hall in the Great Ming Palace. He was envious and resentful at the same time.
How young and strong they were!
Unlike him, he was like a dying candle in the wind. There was a good chance that one day, he might not be able to catch his breath.
The Crown Prince was only eleven years old, still so young. He had to protect him, and he absolutely could not give these robust and young royal uncles any chance to usurp the throne.
Anyone who could threaten Hua'er, he would eradicate for his son!
Li Chengming felt an itch in his throat and coughed twice. He calmed himself down and spoke warmly to his four younger brothers, telling them not to leave any traces of Prince Lin Nan's passing, and to return to their own homes to rest. After another notice, on the third day of the seventh month, the third Queen Feng Yingqi was born, and a banquet was set up in the palace to entertain the royal brothers.
As he spoke, his eyes were fixated on his four younger brothers.
The Li family members all had similar facial features, and they all had divine appearances like jade. The funeral had been so hard these days that it was inevitable that some of them would show some signs of emaciation on their faces, but it did not affect their appearance.
To make others see it, he was truly a little angry …
Li Chengming glanced at his third brother and said, "En, I will deal with these two later."
Li Chengming turned around and looked at his fifth and sixth brothers with satisfaction.
One of the teenagers subconsciously scratched his body, revealing a wrist that had a slight red mark on it. The other occasionally rubbed his eyes, obviously feeling uncomfortable.
Not comfortable, not comfortable at all!
Li Chengming pretended to be concerned and asked his two brothers if they needed a doctor.
Fifth Prince Li Xu embarrassedly stammered, "To reply to royal brother, little brother is fine." "Yes, it's because I can't get used to wearing clothes."
The filial clothes were made of hemp and were very rough. Their skin, which was used to wearing soft silk, was truly unbearable.
Li Chengming was very satisfied with this answer.
Fifth brother hasn't found anything wrong yet. It would be good if he didn't.
Sixth brother Li Chenbai looked at fifth brother beside him and strongly blinked his eyes. He also refused: "Thank you brother for your care and care, your brother's eyes were filled with sand. Blink a few more times and you'll be gone." There was a trace of innocence and immaturity in his cold tone.
"It's good that you're fine. Royal brother can relax." Li Chengming was satisfied and told them to leave.
On the third day of the seventh month, the Queen Feng Yingqi was born.
Since it was the late emperor's funeral, it wasn't appropriate to celebrate unrestrainedly. This year, the empress only held a family banquet at the Hibiscus Courtyard by the edge of the Crooked River. At the same time, she wanted all her brothers to reunite before returning to their respective fiefdom.
Feng Yingtong was hiding in the side hall at the end of the corridor. From afar, she saw Li Chenbai.
This year, a sixteen year old young prince dressed in white slowly walked along the vermillion veranda.
The sun was setting in the sky, and the summer air was warm and beautiful. It lightly touched the jade waves and landed on his exquisite lower jaw and bright red lips, but it seemed to be unable to warm the youth at all. He was clearly walking in the palace of the human world, but he was like a faint and happy person, walking through the gaps between the rocks in the forest, coldly flowing past them.
Feng Ying'er looked on dumbly.
She was good-looking, she was a valuable woman, and there were plenty of warm young men who liked her and chased after her, but she never looked down on them. Only Li Chenbai. From the first moment she saw him, she wanted to get close to him, warm him, embrace him, drive away the coldness in his eyes, and melt the frost that covered his body.
Many times in his dreams, the beaded curtains half rolled and the cherry blossoms everywhere, the two of them in love with each other, with flowers on their shoulders and a zither on their knees, he smiled at her and she sang for him …
It had been two years, more than seven hundred days and nights. Did he know that her love lived like a burning year when he was released into the outside world? Do you know that she is becoming less and less attractive? Now, he had finally returned!
Feng Yingtong bit her lips and clenched her handkerchief tightly. Suppressing her beating heart, she did her best to adjust her breathing and walked out of the side hall to meet her lover. She slowly and slowly bent her knees and shyly called out: "My little daughter, Cherry Blossom, greets the Sixth Prince."
