When the woman heard that they were members of the royal family, she turned pale with fright. She did not dare to make any more trouble, and she was so frightened that she lost her mind. She quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the daughter of the people did not mean to offend. It's really true. When the women of the country saw that he was handsome and good-looking, they felt pity for him and wanted to throw themselves into his arms and get his attention."

"People's girls really don't have any other purpose. People's girls are just ordinary women with no power. How can people's girls have the courage to murder the royal family? I beg the prince to spare my life. People's girls have realized their mistake. People's girls will never do it again." I don’t dare anymore.”

She cried pitifully and innocently. Feng Hai couldn't bear to see it. He felt that this must be a misunderstanding. King Mo was too cautious. "My lord, maybe this is really a misunderstanding. King Mo... he should be Too sensitive. The subordinates felt that this woman must not have lied... She just saw King Mo's handsome face, so she wanted to throw herself into his arms... The prince has experienced this kind of thing many times before. "

King Duan turned to look at Xiao Xuanmo: "Fifth brother, what do you think about this matter? If you still feel uneasy, I can have this woman locked up first and then tortured..." Upon hearing this, the woman said, She was about to be tortured, and she fainted from fright. Xiao Xuanmo glanced at the woman, a bit of unbearability flashed in his eyes. He sighed: "Let her go, maybe I am really sensitive. Since the doctor didn't check it If something goes wrong, it must be a misunderstanding."

Prince Duan didn't think that this was a big deal. He immediately asked Feng Hai to take the woman out. He poured a glass of wine for Xiao Xuanmo and placed it in front of him. "Xiao Xuanrui will be back soon, don't leave." Unexpectedly, we should arrive in Kyoto tomorrow. Now, my father is obedient to Concubine Wan... I am really worried that my father will suddenly issue an imperial edict and directly make Xiao Xuanrui the crown prince."

"Fifth brother, given the current trend, what do you think? We can't just sit back and watch Xiao Xuanrui become the prince. With his character, if he becomes the prince, the two of us will suffer."

They were all opposed to Xiao Xuanrui before. Xiao Xuanrui is a ruthless person who can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes. He will not keep them at all and continue to threaten his status. When the time comes, everything will become a foregone conclusion, then their The situation was very dangerous. Xiao Xuanmo did not pick up the wine cup in front of him. He was sitting in front of Prince Duan at this moment. He was not careless either. He had been strictly demanding himself. He pondered for a long time and then looked up at Prince Duan: "Brother... ...You also know that I, my brother, have accomplished nothing in these years, and I have never been favored by my father. Although my father's attitude towards my brother has improved, he still has not handed over some government affairs to me. .”

"Now, the person his father trusts the most is you, my eldest brother. Apart from the title of King Mo, my brother has no power and nothing. Even if Xiao Xuanrui is to be established as the prince, my brother has no ability to stop it... ..." King Duan curled his lips and smiled softly: "Fifth brother, you have misunderstood. Sometimes there is no power, no threat, and letting the enemy relax their vigilance is the best state to respond to the enemy. Now I am in this position, prepared Being in the spotlight, if Xiao Xuanrui comes back, the first person he has to deal with may be me."

"It's better for the two of us to cooperate. I am in the light, competing with Xiao Xuanrui openly, while you are in the dark, doing things that Xiao Xuanrui can't touch, but that can destroy his foundation."

Xiao Xuanmo raised his eyebrows and asked word by word: "What about?"

"My father's illness was so sudden. I feel that there must be something fishy about it. I want the queen to investigate this matter secretly. If necessary, I can blame Concubine Wan for the cause of my father's illness." On the head... what if Concubine Wan is controlling my father's illness?"

Duan Wang's eyes flashed with dark light, and he spoke word by word. Xiao Xuanmo stared at Duan Wang's deep eyes, and he suddenly pursed his lips and smiled. "Do you want my mother to find a way to deal with Concubine Wan?"

Prince Duan held the wine cup and drank the wine in one gulp. His eyes were full of sparkling light, and he looked at Xiao Xuanmo with stern eyes. "Fifth brother, in recent years, because of the existence of Concubine Wan, the Queen has suffered a lot. As a son, don’t you know how many grievances I have suffered? The Queen is obviously the empress of the palace, but she has been bullied by Concubine Wan, and she has never been able to hold her head up. Haven’t you had enough of the grievances you have suffered over the years?"

"You have been wronged for so many years, and it's time to straighten your back and resist. If you miss this opportunity, you will lose not only your dignity, but your wealth and life... We have been destined for that position since we were born. Go fight for it, go plunder it. The weak will prey on the strong, and if you don’t rob it, the one who gets hurt will eventually be the one you love most.”

After hearing what Duan Wang said, Xiao Xuanmo still felt quite touched. This was also what he was thinking. However, he did not want to let him cooperate with Duan Wang. Duan Wang and Xiao Xuanrui, to him, There is no difference. The only difference between them is that he and Prince Duan both have a grudge against Xiao Xuanrui... But what if Xiao Xuanrui is solved? The two of them will turn against each other and fight for that position. The blood would flow into a river... Xiao Xuanmo didn't want to see such a result. He stood up slowly, pursed his lips and whispered. "Brother... do you know what I have wished for since I was a child? "

King Duan was startled, and he subconsciously replied: "Becoming a prince and ascending to the position of the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being?"

Xiao Xuanmo curled his lips and smiled softly. He shook his head slowly: "No...it seems that brother, you still don't understand what kind of person I am."

"My wish since I was a child has never been about the throne or the prince. I just want to have a warm and happy family like ordinary people, and have the kind of love that my father, a father, has for his children. You know , when I was a child, I saw my father smiling at my second brother, how envious was I?"

"I was thinking at that time, it would be great if I were the second brother. My father could smile at me without hesitation, hug me from time to time, and personally teach me to read, write, and teach me the principles of life. It's a pity that I have never felt this kind of paternal care from my father. He gave all his fatherly love to his second brother..." There was a hint of sarcasm in King Duan's eyes, and he couldn't help but sneer." In his eyes, besides Xiao Xuanrui, which other son can he see? Fifth brother, how come you are still so naive at this time? Besides, how can there be any father-son relationship in the Tian family? What we have are just monarchs and ministers. From us From the moment we are born, we are different from those ordinary people..." "We are the proud sons of heaven. From the moment we are born, we have been given a distinguished status that others cannot get... The warmth of those ordinary people is not suitable at all. We. What we have to do is to climb to that noble position, and anything else is not worthy of our nostalgia..." Xiao Xuanmo looked at Prince Duan with complicated eyes, and he couldn't help but ask softly: "Brother, you Have you really never imagined that you can get a smile and a hug from your father?"

A string of fire quickly lit up in Prince Duan's heart. He threw the wine cup hard on the table. He looked at Xiao Xuanmo with cold eyes and laughed sarcastically: "Ha...is he worthy? Is he worthy? Our father? In my eyes, he is nothing... He is not a good father, not a good husband, and not a good emperor."

"He has failed as many times as he has failed in his life. His blood is flowing in my body, and I feel it is a shame. For a man who failed like him, why should I ask for extravagant things and fantasize about his smile and hug? Hehe, don’t you think it’s ironic?”

Xiao Xuanmo was a little frustrated. He sat down again, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and drank the wine in one gulp. On this point, the eldest brother was right. Their father, no matter what role he played, was a An extremely failed person. Many times, he also thought: Why is his father like this? Why is he his son? If possible, he would rather be born in an ordinary family and enjoy the ordinary love of his parents. Instead, he was born in a cold royal family. The father is not the father, and the son is not the son... King Duan seemed to be affected by some emotion in his heart. He drank up all the wine in the jug. None of the wine seemed to be able to cover it up. He suppressed the anger and resentment in his heart. He was so angry that he swept all the food and wine on the table to the floor. He stood up unsteadily, smelling of wine, and looked at Xiao Xuanmo with red eyes: "I, the king Please consider the proposal. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. Fifth brother, do you know? Sometimes, I also envy you. At least, your mother is always by your side. you."

"As for me... apart from the cold authority that I earned through despicable efforts, what else do I have? I have nothing... I am just a lonely person. One general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones... If I can't sit on the In that position, what’s the point of my life?”

Xiao Xuanmo looked at Prince Duan with complicated eyes: "Brother."

Prince Duan raised his hand, wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and staggered out of the room. Feng Hai was waiting outside. He quickly stretched out his hand to support Prince Duan. "My lord, are you okay?"

King Duan shook his head at Feng Hai and whispered: "Send someone to send King Mo back, and be sure to deliver him safely."

Feng Hai nodded in agreement, and then he helped Prince Duan leave Mingyue Tower. Xiao Xuanmo had never been in contact with Prince Duan before, but today's conversation gave him a different understanding of Prince Duan. Prince Duan That's right. No matter what he has experienced, how many grievances he has suffered, and how much oppression he has endured over the years, he has always had his mother by his side, accompanying him... Without his mother, he would have been worse than King Duan. Poor. Xiao Xuanmo suddenly felt a little lucky. He chose to resist Zhao Waner, and then escaped from their clutches and saw hope for the future. He thought of Yun Luan, and his heart was full of gratitude. Xiao Xuanmo drank a glass of wine. , couldn't help but feel a little tipsy. He stood up with a red face and staggered out of the box. The guards arranged by Feng Hai were waiting at the door. They supported Xiao Xuanmo and put him on the carriage. Xiao Xuanmo After getting on the carriage, he fell asleep unknowingly as the carriage rocked gently. He didn't know how long he slept for, but suddenly, he felt like someone was touching him... taking off his clothes. Xiao Xuanmo's His heart skipped a beat. He suddenly opened his eyes and pushed the person in front of him away. "Get out..." A beautiful woman in rose-red gauze was taking off Xiao Xuanmo's clothes. Suddenly Being pushed by him like this, she fell off the bed and fell to pieces. The woman rubbed her butt and got up from the ground angrily. Her eyes were red and she looked at Xiao Xuanmo with some grievance. "Ouch... Young Master, what are you doing? I am saving you, how can you be so ignorant of compassion?"

Xiao Xuanmo's head was so dizzy that when he opened his eyes hard, he couldn't even see clearly the appearance of the woman in front of him. He only felt that his body was like a fire, almost steaming his entire body. He pulled and pulled The skirt of her clothes unconsciously said: "Hot..." The woman sighed and approached Xiao Xuanmo again. She put her cold little hands on Xiao Xuanmo's face: "I know you are very hot... So isn’t the slave trying to cool you down?”

"You really use violence against slaves indiscriminately. It's really annoying."

Xiao Xuanmo subconsciously wanted to resist: "Get out of here, don't touch me..." He wanted to get up from the bed, but he had no strength in his body. As soon as he propped himself up, he fell back onto the bed. The woman covered her mouth and complained. Smiling: "Hey, young master, please stop tossing. You have been hit by that very powerful medicine. Do you still want to survive on your own?"

"I'm telling you, if you don't let someone help you relieve the effects of the medicine, you will bleed to death from your seven orifices. You are lucky to have met me on the road today, otherwise, you would have died long ago."

"My dear aunt, I love pretty boys like you the most. Today I will reluctantly dedicate myself to helping you with the antidote. I hope you won't be too happy later..." She said, got on the bed, and stepped on Sitting on Xiao Xuanmo's body. Xiao Xuanmo struggled hard. He looked at the woman with scarlet eyes and gritted his teeth and scolded: "Get out... don't touch me."

"If you don't want to die, stay away from me."

The woman was frightened by the ferocious light in his eyes. She frowned and pouted helplessly: "Why are you still so ferocious? I'm trying to save your life... but you still don't appreciate it? "

"What? You look down on me and think I'm ugly?" Xiao Xuanmo didn't answer. At this moment, he only felt that waves of heat were constantly coming out of his chest. His consciousness became more and more scattered. . He couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him. Wasn’t he helped into the carriage and returned to the palace? Why was he so hot? Why was there such a strange woman pestering him? He wanted to put the woman Pushing him away, there was no strength to push. The woman pushed him, really rejecting herself. She got off the bed with some annoyance, and walked out of the room cursing. After the woman left, the whole room fell into silence. Xiao Xuanmo gritted his teeth, Struggling to sit up, he saw a glass lamp placed on the bedside. Without thinking, he rushed over and threw the glass lamp to the ground. With a bang, the glass lamp fell to pieces. He stumbled off the bed. , picked up a fragment, and cut his palm unceremoniously. A stinging pain came, and warm blood flowed out of his palm. He fell to the ground, and his mind regained some clarity. He will Holding the fragment in his hand, he stood up unsteadily... He looked at this strange room and rushed towards the door. Who knows, just when his hand touched the door, the door was suddenly opened from the outside. Pushing away, a girl with a delicate and beautiful face came into view. The girl looked at the blood flowing in his palm, screamed in fright, turned around and ran away. Xiao Xuanmo grabbed her wrist , gritted his teeth and shouted: "Where is this? Who are you?"

——With nothing to do today, Yun Luan finished his breakfast and taught Yun Huai how to practice martial arts. Yun Huai has made great progress during this period. If he can deal with two ordinary adult men now, it will be no problem. Yun Luan looked at Yun Huai, and gradually saw the shadow of her father. She couldn't help but her eyes turned red, and she was filled with emotion. At this moment, Ruchun walked in from the outside with a somewhat unpleasant look on her face. "Miss, someone has sent a message. Come here and say something happened to King Mo."

Yun Luan's expression changed and she immediately looked at Ru Chun: "What's going on?"

"It seems that King Mo killed someone near Mingyue Tower. It seems that the deceased was a good girl of ordinary people... This matter has been spread."

Ruchun replied in a low voice with an ugly face. Yun Luan took a breath, she intuitively felt that this was definitely a conspiracy against Xiao Xuanmo. She had some understanding of Xiao Xuanmo's character, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be abusive. Killing innocent people and harming people. Yun Luan frowned and asked Ruchun to prepare his horse and rushed to Mingyue Tower without saying a word. When she arrived, Xiao Tingyan also received the news and arrived just in time. The two looked at each other. He glanced at it, and then walked towards the small farmyard where the accident happened. This was an ordinary family home. The owner was a carpenter, named Liu Hu... The deceased was his daughter, named Liu Shufen, who was about sixteen years old. Ten Liu Hu's wife died of illness two years ago, and he raised his daughter alone. Because he often had to go out to do business, he hired Mrs. Zhang to stay at home and take care of his daughter's daily life. When the accident happened, there was no one else in the small yard. Apart from the deceased, there was only Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang accused her on the spot and saw with her own eyes that it was Xiao Xuanmo who cut Liu Shufen's throat with the fragment of glass in his hand. Blood spattered everywhere, and Liu Shufen died on the spot. After that, Mrs. Zhang collapsed. He shouted for help, which alerted the neighbors. Even if someone called the police... Later, I didn't know who it was, and suddenly called King Mo. Someone among the people watching began to spread rumors, saying that King Mo broke into the people's private houses and raped them. When Yun Luan and Xiao Tingyan went in, people from Dali Temple had just arrived. Now Dali Temple is managed by Su Yuan, the prime minister of Dali Temple. When Su Yuan heard that the murder case involved King Mo, he directly went to heaven. It was about to collapse, so he hurried over with people. Xiao Xuanmo was still confused at this moment. He was locked in the room and had no idea what was going on. Yun Luan walked over and looked at Su Yuan : "Where's King Mo?"

Su Yuan pointed to the wing: "King Mo is in the room and hasn't come out yet."

"Open the door..." Su Yuan quickly took the key from Mrs. Zhang and opened the door. Xiao Xuanmo was originally leaning on the door panel. As soon as the door of the room was opened, his body fell back along the door panel. Xiao Tingyan Frowning, she stepped forward and held his shoulders: "King Mo..." Yun Luan's eyes trembled, and she could clearly see that Xiao Xuanmo's body was covered with blood... not only on his clothes. , His hands were all covered with fresh blood. Mrs. Zhang collapsed on the ground, hugging the lifeless Liu Shufen, crying heartbreakingly. "This killing of a thousand cuts, he is the one who killed our girl. He held the hand in his hand The fragments are his murder weapons..." "My lords, you can't cover up his crime just because he is a prince and a member of the royal family. Our girl died miserably, you must severely punish this adulterer. , take revenge for our girl."

Xiao Xuanmo was in a daze. He could only hear Mrs. Zhang's crying voice, but he couldn't wake up in time. He wanted to open his mouth to defend, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his eyes. Su Yuan comforted Mrs. Zhang's Emotionally, she wanted to let people examine Liu Shufen's body in advance. But Mrs. Zhang hugged the body tightly and refused to let anyone get close. She was a little emotional and seemed unable to accept that Liu Shufen died like this. The people who were watching were all confused. Gritting his teeth, he scolded Xiao Xuanmo. "Which prince is this, so heartless and crazy... The Liu family girl just had hairpins and was as young as a flower, and she died like this. It is really heartbreaking."

"This is King Mo, the legitimate son of the Queen, and the youngest son of the Holy Emperor. He usually seems to have quite a noble character, but who would have thought that he would do such a heartbreaking thing."

"Hey, if Liu Hu knew that his daughter was dead, he would cry to death. The father and daughter have been dependent on each other for so many years, and they finally waited until their daughter grew up to tell others. Who knew that such a thing would happen. "

Everyone couldn't help but sigh. Mrs. Zhang cried harder and harder... Xiao Xuanmo still showed no sign of waking up. Yun Luan walked to his side and checked Xiao Xuanmo's condition. She couldn't help but frown slightly. "Ayan, I suspect that King Mo has been drugged. Hurry up and ask the doctor to come and check."

Xiao Tingyan nodded and immediately asked Shi Li to ask Wang Kun to come over. Wang Kun was already nearby, and he didn't delay for long. He carried the medicine box and hurried over. With a calm look on his face, he felt Xiao Xuanmo's pulse. After a while, he couldn't find any problem. He couldn't help hissing, and he couldn't figure it out. "There's something wrong with this situation. I felt his pulse, and there was no problem at all... Preliminary judgment, he should be King Mo." Drunk."

Yun Luan frowned: "Drunk?"
