From the beginning of celebrating more than one year, the sun shines on the sky

that night.

In the dead of night, in the middle of the night, there is a curfew in the imperial city.

If there is no special warrant, no one is allowed to pass without reason.

Unless it is in those special places, after the emperor's personal permission to open the night market, you can enter and leave freely.

Otherwise, once found in other areas, they will be shot and killed.

However, at this moment, there was a slight sound of horseshoes in the originally quiet street.

A team of about five or sixty people quietly set off from the Lin Mansion and headed straight to the west of the city.

However, he was quickly stopped by the captain guarding the west gate of the city.

Looking at the cavalry that had been heavily surrounded, the crowd didn't seem to panic at all.

I saw a hand slowly stretched out from the carriage, and handed out a token.

The moment he saw the token, the lieutenant guarding the city gate suddenly changed his expression, and then he quickly recovered his panic expression.

Turning around and waving his hands to let everyone retreat, not only that, he also ran forward to open the city gate to let them go.

From the beginning to the end, I never asked a redundant nonsense.

The moment he saw the token, he knew that he had better not talk too much about it.

Because she still wants to live a few more years.

The gate of the city was opened but then closed quickly. Afterwards, General Xiaowei ordered the personnel on duty tonight to remember that no carriages were seen leaving the city tonight.

Otherwise, everyone's head will be lost.

tread... tread...

Five or 60 people, all fully armed and lightly loaded, rode fast, guarding a carriage protected among them, and quickly disappeared at the gate of the city.

On the tower, the captain looked at the carriage that was gradually disappearing into the darkness, and thought of the token just now again, knowing that he might have been involved in a battle about the crown prince. I sweated myself.

However, no one noticed that shortly after the convoy of five or sixty people left, in the dark night, several figures flickered under the night, quietly following them.

Among them, there is also a corpse that looks quite stiff, and it is seen bouncing and jumping away into the darkness at a high speed.

Between jumping and jumping, it was already a hundred meters away, and the speed was very fast.

at the same time.

East Palace.

Tonight, everyone who served the prince knew that His Royal Highness was so angry that he hadn't eaten for a long time.

Seemed to be furious.

Even those paintings that were not the finishing touch that he loved the most all the time, two of them were torn abruptly.

It has been a long, long time since I tore up two of the paintings and sat in a daze in the study seat.

I don't know what he has been thinking about in silence.

During this period, he got up and walked back and forth in the study room, but he seemed to be sighing incessantly.

Looking at his appearance, he seems to be quite disappointed with who and what, but full of contradictions.

During the period, a servant was about to come in to light the lamp, but he scolded him and went out.

At this moment, the study room was pitch black and no one could be seen.

The servant who was in charge of lighting the lamp did not dare to go too far, and waited outside for the call of His Highness the Crown Prince.

in the library.

At this time, there was no one here, no one here, the prince was finally able to temporarily remove his disguise for so many years.

In the darkness, he felt unprecedented ease and comfort.

In the darkness, there is no one, nothing, nothing and no sound around, everything is so real.

This feeling of not needing to intrigue is really good. At this moment, His Royal Highness finally understands why the dark night is so dark, but there are so many people who make you like the dark.

Because the night is the greatest hiding place.

Here, you can no longer pretend to be yourself.

Being in the dark, you can unload the camouflage that is tiring to wear during the day.

His aloof crown prince has almost never lost his anger for many years.

But at this moment, under the darkness, he became angry for the first time.

Furious.

The gaze can almost swallow a person alive.

At this moment, the resentment and killing intent on his face were undisguised.

This is the first time that he has truly revealed his inner thoughts so unreservedly.

Looking at the two unfinished paintings on the ground in the darkness that had been torn apart by him so that it was impossible to paste them back together again, a ball of fire spewed out of his eyes again.

Standing up unsteadily, he stomped his feet hard.

At this moment, he lived like a normal person with flesh and blood and anger, no longer hiding his emotions.

Emperor Qing had said to him more than once that he was too upright, no matter what happened or whoever he was facing, he always had a rigid face.

On the other hand, the second prince had to let go a lot.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a whirring sound outside because of the wind.

The lights outside also flickered.

Standing outside has been waiting for the servant's shadow to fluctuate twice.

Not long after, he seemed to sigh heavily in his heart.

Under the dark night, the prince took out a note from his sleeve.

There was only a simple sentence on it, but after the prince read it, his eyes were fierce again, and he gritted his teeth.

"Try to lure Lin Gong out of Kyoto."

At the end of the note is a bloody palm print and a bloody plum blossom

In the faint darkness, he looked at the blurred blood color, and suddenly felt that it was so dazzling.

This note was found on his desk in the evening.

In addition to this note, there is also a painting of him.

However, the woman in the painting is already as lifelike as the finishing touch, and has been completed.

All the picture scrolls he made in the past were only outlines but not the finishing touch.

But today's painting left the rest for him.

Seeing the woman in the painting, he almost passed out on the spot.

Because that was the biggest secret in his life.

A secret that no one can know.

He asked the guards, and no one entered the study room today except himself.

This is a naked provocation from the Raksha Temple!

At the same time, he was telling him that the request on the note could not be refused.

It's a warning and a threat!
Obviously, the Raksha Temple wanted to attack Lin Gong, but it was not easy to do so in the capital.

So the best way is to lead him out of Kyoto before doing it.

On the choice between protecting himself or sacrificing Lin Gong, the prince has been thinking about it for a long time, struggling again and again in his heart.

But in the end, he chose himself.

Because, apart from that, he actually had no other choice at all.

Now, Lin Gong must have secretly left the city with his prince's identity token.

The prince could only comfort himself secretly, that maybe Luosha Palace was just to arrest Lin Gong, and might not really kill him.

"Raksha Temple!"

"Langya Pavilion!"

"The day I ascend the throne is the time to send troops westward to kill you and others!"

At that time, as long as he succeeds in enthroning and becomes the emperor, with great power in his hands, those so-called secrets will have no deterrent effect on him.

After all, there are many innocent and stupid emperors in the past dynasties.

At most, he just bears an infamy.

In his heart, he already had the desire to kill Rakshasa Palace.

The day he ascended the throne was the time when he sent troops to attack the Raksha Temple! (end of this chapter)
