night enchanting

Chapter 86
That sigh seemed to come from far away, it was barely audible to the ears, but it caused everyone to look back unconsciously with doubts.

I saw that in front of the Xuande Hall, which was closer to the roof, all the imperial guards stepped aside one after another, and a tall man slowly stepped out of the hall.He wears a black jade crown on his head and a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with flying Nine Dragons, showing his master's supreme and noble status.His handsome face was no longer as cold and majestic as before, and the sharp gaze from his slightly sunken eyes was tinged with a touch of helplessness and sadness when he looked at the dark red figure on the rooftop.

"Your Majesty!!" The ministers were either surprised or delighted, but most of them were puzzled.The emperor has been in bed for the first half of the year, and he has never heard that his condition has improved, so how could he suddenly appear here?They turned their heads to look at the queen and the prince, and saw that both of them had expressions of surprise on their faces. It seemed that the appearance of the emperor was beyond everyone's expectation.

The prime minister was the first to wake up, and hurriedly got off the roof, walked quickly to the emperor, lifted his clothes, and knelt down in the snow to worship.All the officials returned to their senses, and then followed.

"My minister pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Jin Han didn't even look at them, he just waved his hands casually, and said, "Everyone's family is flat."

The moment Cen Xinyan saw Jin Han appearing, she was startled. The commander of the forbidden army in the palace belonged to her, and Jin Han was imprisoned in the palace with the guards of the forbidden army. How did he get out?Could it be that Jin Ling's marriage was fake, and the purpose was to rescue Jin Han while she was out of the palace?It seems she was careless!As soon as Jin Han came, everything was out of her control. If at this time, someone can produce evidence that she poisoned the emperor, then she might not be able to turn around in the future.She clenched her fists, her gaze was cold and stern, and her face was determined. If she really couldn't do it, even if she hit a stone with an egg, she would fight for it, even if it meant that they all died together!In any case, her life has long been hopeless.

Although Jin Ling was surprised, he was not too surprised. He just stood there and looked at his father quietly, maintaining the previous posture of Hu Rumo behind him, but his arms had already been put down.His father's appearance had already been expected when he saw the corner of the robe.The dark red mark on the corner of the clothes is exclusively for his father's secret guards, and the witness he found with all his efforts was sent to be killed by his father, who was also a victim, and he has been The perfect opportunity she had been waiting for all this time, completely collapsed because she missed her father's heart.In the current situation, the contest between him and the queen, who wins and who loses, seems to be out of the control of the two of them.

Ru Mo was still standing behind Jin Ling, his expression calm and indifferent.Seeing that Jin Ling didn't move, she didn't move either.The appearance of Jin Han made the situation change instantly, which was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Jin Han slowly stepped up the jade steps and came to Cen Xinyan.He had a gentle face, with a slight smile on his lips, and said softly: "Queen, it's cold outside, what's the matter, please go to the main hall to discuss with me." She was wearing a white fox fur cloak, so she wanted to put it on her.

Cen Xinyan's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but took two steps back, avoiding his hand.Seeing that his eyes looking at her no longer had the anger of the previous days, but restored the gentle expression of affection from before.

She secretly wondered, during the days when she was under house arrest, she tortured him and humiliated him for pleasure whenever she had free time. Didn't he feel very regretful and angry at that time?So what is he doing now?Could it be that he wanted to deceive himself and pretend that nothing happened?This is better, since he likes to deceive himself and others, she might as well help him again, but it is absolutely impossible for her to pretend to please Cheng Huan as before.Thinking of this, he smiled at Jin Han. This smile was not charming, not joyful, but full of sarcasm.She didn't look at him anymore, just raised her head slightly, brushed past him, and went straight to Xuande Hall.

Jin Han's hands were frozen in the air, his eyes were dim, and the gentle smile on his lips gradually became self-deprecating. It took a long time before he threw the cloak in his hand to the palace man behind him, and then looked at Jin Ling with extremely complicated eyes. "You are smarter than I imagined, but sometimes, being too smart is not a good thing. Commander Qi is one of my people. He once fought with my soldiers and horses, quelled chaos and settled the country, from a soldier to an emperor with tens of thousands of people. The commander of the city guard army cannot be bought by others with some favors. Even if you are the future emperor, you are not me after all. So you should be your romantic prince honestly and wait for me to take over the country with peace of mind. The day I leave it to you. Don’t think too much about other improbable things.” After finishing speaking, he glanced around the roof, and finally turned his gaze behind Jin Ling, and when he turned around and entered the hall, he looked at him meaningfully. Strange glance.

At that glance, Jin Ling was extremely familiar. The first time he saw it was eight years ago, which led to the death of his mother and concubine.

He looked up and saw that the surroundings had been surrounded by the imperial city guards at some point, and the bows and arrows faintly exposed on the city wall reflected the silver light on the snow, emitting a cold light, and he felt a coldness in his heart.

Turning around, he gently raised his hand and lifted the bead string that was blocking her eyes, and that beautiful face appeared in front of him.Facing the unknown next moment, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in his eyes.Looking into her clear eyes, he called out the name in his heart for the first time in front of her: "Rumo..."

Ru Mo's complexion changed slightly, and he was taken aback for a moment. He actually called out her name. It turned out that he had known her identity for a long time. "How do you know..."

"I've always known." Jin Ling caressed her face with one hand unconsciously, Rumo hurriedly dodged, eyes full of doubts, she expected that Jin Ling could tell that she was a woman, but she never expected, Jin Ling even knew her identity.

"From the moment I carried you back to the Prince's Mansion, I knew that you were disguised as a man. When my concubine broke into the bedroom, you were lying beside me with your clothes on, and your face was covered by the quilt. Showing a pair of eyes, so clear and beautiful, exactly the same as when you were covered with a black veil." Jin Ling spoke slowly, with a handsome and soft face, and affection in his eyes gradually grew stronger.

Ru Mo frowned, did they meet before?black veil?She usually wears a white veil and seldom uses black...Suddenly, a noble and elegant figure dressed in common clothes flashed into her mind. She looked at the completely different face in front of her in surprise, and blurted out: "Are you ... Yan Qing?!"

That's right, Yan Qing must be his alias. At that time, he should have worn a human skin mask.The master behind the No. [-] village in the south of the Yangtze River is the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jin. She didn't expect it!During the time with him, he always had a cynical expression, which made it impossible for her to match him with the gentle and elegant man in her memory.

Jin Ling smiled and said, "So you still remember me." He suddenly reached out to hold her hand, which was cold but soft, as if it wanted to melt his already frozen heart.

Ru Mo was taken aback, and naturally wanted to break free, but saw that the complex eyes he looked over implied a contest between destruction and rebirth, as if secretly making some kind of determination.Victory leads to survival, defeat leads to death.

She seemed to have never known Jin Ling like this before.Can't help calling: "His Royal Highness..."

"Did you see the archers ambushing around? Those were the imperial city guards I used to contain the imperial guards in the queen's hands, but now they have become the blades on your neck. But don't worry, I , will protect you!" Jin Ling fixedly looked into her clear eyes, and looked straight into her eyes.From her beautiful eyes, he saw a moment of absent-mindedness and a slight touch of emotion. He suddenly felt that if he could just look at her like this for the rest of his life, how great would it be?He laughed and repeated the sentence seriously: "I will protect you. So you...don't worry."

His expression was so determined, and his smile at this moment was the most sincere she had ever seen since the two of them met.She suddenly felt a confusion in her heart, and her expression became extremely unnatural.The corners of her lips were slightly drawn in embarrassment. She no longer knew how to face Jin Ling like this.My heart suddenly became a little heavy and uneasy.She opened her mouth, wanting to say that she doesn't need other people's protection, "I..."

"Let's go." Jin Ling looked at her slightly refusing expression, interrupted her unfinished sentence, and said decisively, "Don't make father, queen, and queen wait too long."

Xuande Hall, with gold bricks and green tiles, is gorgeous and magnificent, with dragons carved on the beams and pillars soaring into the air, with a magnificent momentum.

Jin Han and Cen Xinyan sat side by side on high positions, with all the officials on both sides.

Jin Lingrumo and the two stood quietly in the center of the hall, neither saluted nor spoke.Jin Ling never let go of her hand, but clenched it tighter and tighter, and the palms of her hands gradually became moist.

Jin Han's face darkened, and he wanted to reprimand: "Prince..."

"Your Majesty!" Jin Han just said that, but was interrupted by Cen Xinyan in a cold voice: "The crown prince has lost his morals and deeds for many years, and now he allows the crown princess to disguise herself as a man to deceive the monarch, teasing the concubines and the emperor, there is nothing wrong with it." Forgive me. The concubine has issued an edict to abolish him as the crown prince. You must have heard the emperor, and now you still call him the prince in public. Do you want to tell the world that the concubine’s edict can be ignored? "

Jin Han was taken aback for a moment, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of helplessness looking at her.He sighed secretly and said: "The queen misunderstood. I once said that the queen's imperial decree is equivalent to my imperial decree. How could it not be counted? It's just that the abolition of the crown prince is a matter of great importance. Do you just say it’s useless?”

Cen Xinyan raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked at Jin Han for a long time, sneered at the corners of his lips, and said, "A small matter? Does the emperor think that bullying the emperor is a small matter? Ha... that's good, from now on, the subjects and people of the world don't have to do it again." Follow the principles of a monarch and his ministers, you can bully the monarch and tease the emperor at will, anyway, it's just a trivial matter. What do you think, the emperor?"

Jin Han's complexion changed a few times, seeing her mocking expression, he remained silent for a while.Does she have to confront him like this in front of the officials?Seeing the resolute expression on her face, it seems that if I don't give her an explanation today, it will be difficult to pass.Turning to look at the quiet Rumo, she asked in a calm voice: "Crown princess, the queen said that you are a woman disguised as a man, and you have other plans to marry into the royal family. Is that true? Have you ever mentioned your identity to the prince? "

His gaze was extremely sharp, with a hint of warning, Rumo secretly sneered, did he choose to sacrifice her because he wanted to protect his son?The emperor of the Kingdom of Jin was not completely ruthless towards Jinling, at least he cared a little bit, whether it was out of father-son affection or out of consideration for the country.

She smiled slightly, but before she could speak, Jin Ling had already said: "Father..."

"I didn't ask you!" Jin Han furrowed his brows and yelled angrily at Jin Ling.His son has always been extremely smart, so he should understand that he wants to keep him, but why does he insist on getting ahead? Could it be that he has been sincerely moved?As soon as he changed his mind, his eyes suddenly became dark and difficult to understand. If his son is as infatuated as he is, what hope will there be for the future of the Kingdom of Jin in the future? No, he must not let his son go as well old road.

Under his yelling, Jin Ling didn't back down, but stepped forward two steps, met Jin Han's eyes, boldly looked at him, expressed her determination, and said with a louder voice: "Father, do you want to repeat the old tricks again? For the peace you are after, eight years ago, the queen wanted to poison me because I was your only son. To ensure that there will be successors in the world, you chose to sacrifice my son. Mother and concubine, I have been hurt for eight years, and I can’t express my hatred. Today, eight years later, you want to sacrifice my wife... Since you love the queen so much, you should know how to love someone, but, In order to please the woman you love, you have to sacrifice the love of my son, you... are too selfish! This time, my son will never agree!"

Every sentence of his is extremely heavy, like thunder piercing the ears, clear and heavy.Jin Han's heart was shocked, but there was no expression on his face.His son is right, he is indeed selfish, he has been balancing his lover and his country, and he will eradicate anyone or anything that threatens one of them.And when these two points conflict with each other, he will secretly balance them.Eight years ago, the empress wanted to poison the crown prince. A man who takes that kind of poison will cause people to lose memory and change his temperament drastically. If he takes it, he will not survive for three days. But if a woman takes it, she will vomit blood and die after a month. untie.The crown prince is his sole heir, so naturally he would not let him have any accidents, so he secretly exchanged the poison with the crown prince's biological mother, Concubine Su Gui, which not only fulfilled the queen, but also preserved his son.This is what the prince said about the draw.

Rumo felt the hand holding her trembling slightly.She guessed that his mother would not really be mad at him to death as the rumors said, but she also didn't expect that it would be such a cause of death. Jin Ling must have suffered a lot in his heart if he wanted to live with a smile for the past eight years.She held his hand back forcefully, at this moment, she wanted to give him some strength, some warmth and comfort.

Jin Ling's slightly agitated face felt the strength from her palm, and when he turned his head to meet her with warm comforting eyes, he suddenly calmed down.

All the ministers began to discuss, it turns out that Concubine Su Gui died like this?The queen poisoned the prince, but the emperor not only did not punish him, but also killed Su Guifei!This news is really hard to believe.

Cen Xinyan was startled, and the expression on his face became complicated and difficult to distinguish. Not only did Jin Han know about that matter, but he also lost his bag!Did he think she could forgive him if he did this?She sneered and snorted disdainfully!
Jin Han's face was gloomy. Seeing that the ministers' discussions were getting more and more intense, and they looked at him suspiciously, he couldn't help feeling angry, and reprimanded Jin Ling: "As a prince, you must know how to measure. How can you win people's trust by saying things casually?"

Jin Ling laughed, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and the resentment in his eyes deepened. He raised his eyes and stared at Jin Han, Fang said: "Evidence? Have you got the evidence? Anyone can know it! In the past eight years, everything about the queen, although ingenious, is not brilliant. There are traces of everything, and I searched for evidence more than once or twice. I have always wondered, who has been secretly helping the queen to cover up her evil deeds, and who can have such a powerful influence in our country of Jin? Until today, I did not know that this person is none other than me My dear father, you! Hehe... I am so stupid, everything I have is bestowed by you, fighting with you is simply a dream!"

His voice was extremely calm, but there was a hint of sadness in that calmness helplessly.

He took out the evidence left by the man in black from his arms, pinched a corner with two fingers, and showed the side with the dark red mark in Jin Han's direction.

Jin Han's face became very ugly, and his eyes were burning with anger. He grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair and tightened it more and more.Jin Ling is threatening him, forcing him to make a choice, whether to love a lover or a country?He has always known that this game of chess cannot always be a draw, and there must always be a winner.But what Jin Ling and the Queen have done secretly in the past few years have not escaped his eyes and ears. It should be said that they have always been under his control.Whether it was the commander of the imperial city guard that Jin Ling wanted to win over, or the commander of the imperial palace guard who had always been regarded as the queen's confidant, from the beginning to the end, he was always Jin Han's man.

Jin Ling turned a blind eye to his anger, and continued to say indifferently: "Over the years, you have sheltered and connived the queen, allowing her to act recklessly. Since the death of my mother and concubine, I have endured humiliation to survive. In order to save my life, I had to live in front of others. Pretending to be dissolute, as if seeking a comfortable and luxurious life, I begged her for mercy. I was also charged with angering my mother to death, and was cast aside by the world. For eight years, a full eight years, I secretly planned and managed it with great pains. Waiting for an opportunity. When you were suddenly sick half a year ago and became bedridden, I knew there must be something wrong with it. The queen is good at poison. After several months, I finally found out the dragon pillow you used. It is made by infecting poisonous medicinal materials. Once the poisonous gas invades the human body, the poisoned person will suffer from heart-piercing pain every night and cannot sleep peacefully. During the day, even if he sleeps, he will I was haunted by nightmares and suffered unspeakably. I thought that after these days of suffering, Father, you could see right from wrong and wake up, but I was still wrong. I wanted to take advantage of the emptiness of the Queen's power, and use my The opportunity of the big wedding brings out the witnesses I have found that can prove that the queen poisoned you and me, and prepares to rescue you from the palace, and then expose the queen's evil deeds in front of the subjects of the world, and restore the peace of my Jin Kingdom, but who would have thought , just half an hour ago, you actually sent the emperor to kill the emperor for the purpose of protecting the queen! I have calculated everything, but I can't calculate it, father...your heart." He said in one breath After saying so many words, I couldn't help but paused to take a little breath, and said again: "I've always thought that in your heart, father, the country and the country are the most important. It turns out that I was wrong..." His lips were sarcasm, The tone was still calm as usual, however, every word and every sentence he said seemed to be filled with blood and tears, which made people's heart tighten unconsciously.Ru Mo looked coldly at the empress and the emperor's faces. It is because of these cruel and heartless parents that such an unfortunate life like them has been created in this world.She looked sideways at Jin Ling, his light smile concealed the invisible pain buried in her heart.But she can understand the pain.

The shocking news one after another made all the officials in the hall dumbfounded.Although there is no evidence, but the prince dared to speak out in front of the empress, it is not far from the target.For a while, all the officials were in an uproar, and there were many discussions.

"The emperor is under house arrest? Isn't he sick?"

"Why is it poisoned again? What's going on here?"

"It turns out that the prince's absurdity is all an illusion for the queen to see!"

"The empress puts the emperor under house arrest. This is simply treason!"

"How can there be such a queen in my Kingdom of Jin?"

"This is simply the Demon Empress..."

……

The anger in Jin Han's eyes gradually turned into a cold light. Seeing Cen Xinyan whose face was getting uglier from the corner of his eye, his heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
