I put on my clothes and walked out, only to see a giant steel unicorn already placed in the open space of the palace garden, shining brightly in the morning sun.
Yihu was assembling it with four warriors with his bare arms.
I said loudly: "Yihu has been doing all the trouble so early in the morning, and you still give in and let me rest?"
Yihu grinned widely and said, "Brother-in-law, let me install this Qilin first and see if there are any problems."
I shook my head helplessly and was about to go back when I suddenly remembered something.
I pointed at the unicorn and said to Yihu: "Go find some gold paint and paint the unicorn gold."
Yihu rubbed the back of his head and said, "Why do I think it still looks so good?"
I glared at him and said, "Just do it if you are asked to do it.
There is so much nonsense."
Yihu stuck out his tongue and said, "Brother-in-law, I'll go get someone to do it right now."
Since arriving in Kangdu, I have been claiming to be ill and have always stayed in the palace.
In the past few days, many princes and nobles who had heard about it came to visit me.
I was so annoyed that I finally closed the door and thanked the guests.
King Yong followed my instructions and quietly spread the information I entrusted.
My original intention was to intimidate King Xing Long Yuntao into joining this already chaotic farce.
The first person to be alarmed was his mother, Concubine Jingde.
I sat leisurely in the garden, the afternoon sun shining warmly on my body, making me feel an indescribable comfort.
Chu'er was beside me, rubbing my shoulders, and said softly: "Recent rumors in Kangdu , if you ascend to the position of prince, you will be the first to deal with King Xing."
I laughed and said, "These rumors are just jokes for gossip on the streets.
How could you believe them?"
Chu'er frowned slightly and said, "After the Beihu incident happened, you have always had a grudge against my aunt, mother and son."
I laughed and said, "Chu'er, when I first came to Dakang, I said it myself in front of my father-in-law, and I pretend that this never happened."
Chu'er sighed and said, "You don't have to lie to me, I know you won't let it go so easily."
I was about to explain to her when I saw Adong walking towards us and said respectfully: "Master, Concubine Jingde is here."
"Auntie" Chu'er stood up in surprise.
A sneer appeared at the corner of my lips.
Concubine Jingde and I had no friendship at all.
She came to visit Chu'er from time to time.
The only possibility was because of Prince Xing's affairs.
I stood up slowly: "I'll go to the study and wait for her."
Concubine Jingde walked into the study with a gloomy look on her face, as if she was looking for me to accuse me.
I looked at her lazily, still sitting on the chair with no intention of getting up.
Chu'er secretly winked at me, as if she wanted me to be polite to Concubine Jingde.
Concubine Jingde said coldly: "Chu'er, you go out first.
I have something to discuss with His Highness Prince Ping alone."
Chu'er made a gesture to me, obviously wanting me to suppress my inner emotions, turn around and walk out the door.
I smiled and said, "My dearest concubine, Yinkong is ill and cannot get up to salute.
I hope you will forgive me."
Concubine Jingde's eyes showed an extremely malicious look, and she whispered: "Don't act in front of me.
Everyone knows how your body is."
She stood opposite me and said angrily: "Long Yingkong, since you are about to ascend to the position of prince, why do you want to say anything to deal with Yin Tao?
Where did Yin Tao offend you?
Do you want to Push him hard"
I laughed out loud: "Where did your mother-in-law hear the news?
Yin Tao is my imperial brother, and you are Chu'er's aunt.

From either side, it is impossible for me to attack Yin Tao.
Besides, now Dakang is still my father’s world, and even if I want to deal with King Xing, I don’t have the right.”
Concubine Jingde said angrily: "You finally admitted that you wanted to harm Yin Tao."
I sighed and said, "Mother Concubine, you are indeed a good mother.
You have devoted all your energy and good intentions to your useless son."
Concubine Jingde was so angry that she was trembling: "You bastard, what did you say?"
I sneered and said, "I wonder if An Rong told you that if she hadn't taken care of the relationship between brother and sister, she and the baby in her belly would have become ghosts under the spring."
Concubine Jingde suddenly stood up, pointed at me and said, "Long Yinkong, if you dare to touch my child, I will never let you go."
I suddenly stopped smiling, and there was a murderous intent in my eyes.
Concubine Jingde couldn't help but lowered her head under my sharp eyes.
I said solemnly: "If it weren't for me, how could An Rong become the Queen of Beihu?
If it weren't for me, how could An Rong become the Queen of Beihu?
I have a kind heart, how can Long Yintao survive to this day?
But instead of thanking you, mother and son, you three have tried every means to kill me.
How can I tolerate you with such a vicious heart?"
Concubine Jingde screamed: "Long Yinkong, if you hadn't made trouble in front of His Majesty, Yin Tao would have inherited the throne long ago."
She was so angry that she said everything.
My purpose today was to anger her, and I laughed loudly and said: "I just found out today that Concubine Jingde of Dakang would tell such a joke.
As a mother, you know better than anyone else what kind of material Long Yintao is.
If he has Why, my father, has delayed the issue of establishing an heir until today?"
I picked up the secret decree from the desk and unfolded it to her: "Look carefully."
Concubine Jingde's face turned pale.
I sneered and said: "Remember, I, Long Yinkong, will never let anyone who has tried to kill me, even my relatives, be no exception."
Concubine Jingde seemed to be frightened by my words.
She took a step back and sat weakly on the chair.
I stood up and walked slowly past her, never looking at Concubine Jingde again.
After Chu'er sent Concubine Jingde away, her expression became more solemn.
She must have noticed that there was a conflict between Concubine Jingde and me.
My expression was still relaxed, and I was standing on the long bridge with nine curves, feeding the koi carp leisurely.
Chu'er came to me silently, stood side by side with me, and said softly: "You have angered my aunt after all."
I smiled calmly and put all the remaining bait into the water: "She has never liked me, and it's normal to be angry."
Chu'er shook his head and said, "Yinkong, you have something to hide from me."
I smiled and hugged her shoulders and said, "How come I won't hide anything from my Chu'er."
Chu'er said quietly: "Don't forget, we are husband and wife.
You can hide your worries from others, but you can't hide them from me."
My smile became a little stiff.
Chu'er said: "If I'm not wrong, the news that you want to deal with King Xing was deliberately spread by you.
My aunt and others have harmed you before.
This time you are taking action against King Xing.
In everyone's eyes, it's the same."
Of course.
At first I thought you were just trying to vent your anger on Beihu, but after my aunt came to visit today, I discovered that you had another plan. " I said nothing and looked away.
Chu'er said: "You are purposefully trying to make my aunt and brother Xing Wang feel that if you ascend to the position of crown prince, your first goal is to uproot them, make their position completely chaotic, and force them to stop you from becoming a prince at all costs."
"Prince."
Chu'er said, "You want to make this chaos even bigger.

You want to force King Xing to take risks, so as to disperse the conflicts, differentiate the goals, and ensure your own safety
.
" "
I nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed doing this."
Chu'er sighed and said: "Yinkong, have you ever considered my father's feelings?
If you take the opportunity to get rid of your aunt and Prince Xing, will your father accept it?"
I whispered: "I don't want to push them to a dead end, I just want them to come in and disrupt the situation, making the already chaotic situation even worse.
Only in this way can we ensure our safety."
I held Chu "The current situation leaves me with no choice," Er said softly.
Chu'er snuggled into my arms and said softly: "I understand your difficulties, but you must remember that no matter how far things develop, you must not harm the lives of my aunt's family."
I solemnly nodded and said, "I promise you."
It was already dusk, and I suddenly remembered what King Yi had said to me.
He took Chu'er's hand and said, "I've been suffocating for the past two days.
Let's go out of the city to get some fresh air."
Chu Er smiled and said: "Zuo Dongxiang is watching you every step of the way outside the palace.
I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get out."
I whispered: "Have you forgotten the tunnel Mr.
Zhuge built specially for us?"
Chu'er smiled sweetly and nodded gently.
I called A Dong and Che Hao, and quietly walked into the secret passage from the cellar of the palace.
This secret passage, which took three years, was the result of countless efforts of Zhuge Xiaolian.
The design was exquisite and the layout was complex.
On the secret path to escape from Donghu.
There is a polished steel track in the secret passage.
Zhuge Xiaolian specially designed five cars to travel along the track, each of which can accommodate ten people.
We followed the diagram, started the mechanism of the car, and drove forward slowly along the track.
The entire terrain kept tilting downwards, and the speed of the car was getting faster and faster.
There was a faucet handle on the car, which could control the speed of the car.
Chu'er and I were controlling it. , while the laughter continued, Zhuge Xiaolian was indeed gifted with his talent.
The journey that originally took an hour to walk was completed in less than half an hour.
After the car crossed a high hill, it slowly stopped moving.
Someone had already received the signal at the exit.
Jiao Xin led 20 warriors to greet him.
He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Jiao Xin, please see His Royal Highness Prince Ping, Your Majesty the Princess."
I smiled and said, "I'm bored staying in the palace, and the princess and I plan to go out for a walk."
Jiao Xin said: "I will ask someone to prepare the carriage and horses for His Highness."
Chu'er and I came to the farm and changed into ordinary clothes in the small building specially built for me.
For the sake of caution, I still posted With a mustache, he left the farm in a car, asked the nearby people where the Qiuzishu was, and drove there under the escort of Che Hao and A Dong.
When we arrived under the Qiuzi tree, night had fallen, and there were still fireworks going off at the stone table next to the tree, where three or two pairs of faithful men and women knelt down to worship and offer incense.
I said to Che Hao: "You two are waiting for me here."
Che Hao and A Dong smiled knowingly and stopped.
Chu'er's face turned slightly red.
After all, she didn't want others to know our concerns.
After others left, we lit incense candles and knelt down in front of the child-seeking tree, making silent wishes.
I secretly thought in my heart: "God is with me, please keep Ming'er safe and sound."

I opened my eyes and saw Chu'er kneeling down devoutly.
We wrapped longans, peanuts and other tributes with each other's sleeves and tied the Qiuzi knot.
I said to Chu'er: "Let's work together to throw this Qiuzi knot.
The highest place” Chu'er smiled and nodded, and we waved our arms together, hoping that the knot would fly high, and it was indeed hanging on the branch at the top of the tree crown.
Chu'er gave a sweet smile and couldn't help but hugged my body.
A shrill cry came from not far away, and we were slightly startled.
But I heard a hoarse boy behind the tree say: "My dear mother, let's make another wish."
A sad voice said: "I don't want to make any wish, I just want to get my child back."
The man said: "I'm afraid our child will never come back.
Emperor Xinde, that foolish emperor, wants to give our child away."
The woman burst into tears, followed by the sound of stamping her feet and beating her chest.
The woman cried miserably: "You go save our child, I just want him to come back."
The man seemed unable to suppress his inner sadness and cried loudly.
Chu'er felt sad when she heard this, and pulled me behind the tree.
But he saw a scholar in gray clothes hugging a pitiful woman.
The two of them hugged each other and cried.
Chu Er said softly: "What happened to you?"
When the two heard the noise, they hurriedly wiped away their tears.
The man was obviously afraid of causing trouble, so he picked up his wife and fled away.
Chu'er sighed and said: "Their child must have been dragged into making a furnace guide."
But I saw a blue-shirted Confucian scholar in the distance, looking up at the top of the tree seeking children, in a daze.
The moonlight shone into the water and shone on his face, revealing that he was graceful and graceful.
Although he was wearing a tattered Confucian shirt, it did not affect his superhuman demeanor at all.
Chu'er held my hand and whispered: "This person is so strange, standing alone in front of the tree asking for children.
Let's leave quickly."
I nodded and was about to leave when I heard the scholar in blue shirt shouting from behind: "Brother, can you stay?"
I was slightly startled, but I didn't know what he suddenly asked me to do.
Che Hao and A Dong noticed something unusual and walked towards me.
The blue-shirted Confucian scholar walked towards me slowly, his expression showing no trace of disorder at all, and his handsome eyes looking extremely deep.
I vaguely sensed that this man was anything but a mortal.
I smiled and said, "Brother, do you have any advice?"
The blue-shirted Confucian scholar smiled and said: "I am Yuan Tianchi, a scholar who is down in the world.
He makes a living by looking at people's faces.
Seeing the extraordinary appearance of a virtuous couple, I would like to calculate a fortune for you.
I don't know what I think."
Che Hao said coldly: "My young master has never believed in the deceitful ways of charlatans.
You'd better leave."
Yuan Tianchi smiled calmly and said: "I haven't calculated it yet.
How do you know that I am lying?
Are you afraid that I will see through it?"
Che Hao and A Dong yelled angrily at the same time: "Presumptuous" I made a gesture to stop the two of them.
Yuan Tianchi was obviously not that simple.
Did he see something?
I looked up and down, and my eyes finally stopped on his face: "What does Mr.
Yuan want to do?"

Yuan Tianchi smiled and said: "I always ask other people what they want to tell fortunes.
I didn't expect that people would ask me first today."
I smiled and said, "Because you are the one chasing after me today to read my face."
But Yuan Tianchi shook his head and said: "Forget it, I won't look at the young master's appearance."
Now it was my turn to be surprised.
This person was really interesting.
I agreed to let him read his face, but he backed down.
Chu'er couldn't help but said: "Why don't you look?"
Yuan Tianchi smiled and said: "I don't look at it because I don't need to look at it."
He pointed at the crown of the tree, where the Qiuzi knot that Chu'er and I had just thrown was located.
Yuan Tianchi said: "On the child-seeking tree, only your child-seeking knot is hung at the highest position.
The child-seeking knot thrown by others has either fallen to the ground or is located below you.
After this child is born, he will be among the thousands of people."
Above all, his destiny is predestined at birth, so why should I read fortune tellers for his parents?"
My heart suddenly trembled, and I said coldly: "Mr.
Yuan seems to be well prepared."
Yuan Tianchi did not answer my question directly.
He looked up at the tree and sighed: "Yuan stood under this tree for three whole days and witnessed countless people coming to pray to God to return their children.
This tree once brought The big tree that held the hope and happiness of countless people has now become gloomy and extremely desolate.”
I didn't say anything.
Looking at the child-seeking tree, I felt an inexplicable sadness in my heart.
Emperor Xinde's rebellious behavior has already made people angry.
Yuan Tianchi said: "Emperor Xinde did not understand one thing.
Since he is the emperor of Dakang, he is the parent of all the people of Dakang.
By sending these five hundred children into the furnace, it is tantamount to How can one bear to send one's own flesh and blood into the furnace and exchange the names of one's relatives for an elusive immortality?
How unbearable is his heart."
Yuan Tianchi turned around and walked away.
After walking a certain distance, he turned back and said with a smile: "If you want to be a wise king, you must equate the interests of the people of the world with your own interests.
Otherwise, the suffering of the people of the world will be lost."
It's your pain."
Watching his back disappear in the ammonia night, I was speechless for a long time.
Chu Er said softly: "He seems to have figured out your identity."
I nodded and said: "This person is extraordinary, he seems to be hinting at something to me."
Che Hao said: "Master, do you want me to catch him and ask him clearly?"
I shook my head and said: "Forget it, he probably has no ill intentions towards me.
Let's go back as soon as possible."
Yuan Tianchi's words always lingered in my mind.
I lay on the bed and stared blankly at the curtain above my head.
What exactly did he want to tell me about the pain of the world will be my pain?
I suddenly sat up from the bed.
The pain of these people was the loss of their children, and my Ming'er also suddenly disappeared during this time.
Is there any connection between the two?
I almost dare not continue thinking about it.
Chu'er sat up, hugged my body and said, "Yinkong, what happened?"
I trembled: "Is Yuan Tianchi telling me that Ming'er is among those five hundred boys and girls?"

Chu'er was slightly startled, with a look of horror on her pretty face.
I stood up, put on my clothes, walked out of the door, and shouted: "Tang Mei asked everyone to wait for me at Shadow Moon Pavilion" I expressed my doubts and everyone fell silent at the same time.
After a long time, Qiu Yichen was the first to break the silence and whispered: "If they kidnap the little princess and mix it with the boys and girls who are used as furnace guides, the situation we will face will be much more complicated."
Tang Mei said: "We don't know the true identity of Yuan Tianchi now, but the disappearance of the little princess is known to the whole world.
There is no guarantee that someone will not use this matter to make a big fuss, use this to blackmail the young master into submission, and take the opportunity to disrupt the young master's life." mind."
Che Hao said: "I really should catch that Yuan Tianchi today and ask him for details.
He knows so clearly.
Maybe he stole the little princess."
Chu'er held my big hand and said softly: "No matter what Yuan Tianchi's real purpose is, there is only one choice for us in this matter."
Everyone's eyes turned to Chu'er, who said: "Yuan Tianchi is right in saying that if he wants to become a wise king, he must equate the interests of the world with his own interests.
For such a violent and cruel thing, we We cannot turn a blind eye.
Regardless of whether Ming'er is among these boys or girls, we should prevent this from happening
.
"
Chu'er's words made me calm down slowly.
I nodded and said, "Chu'er is right.
We must stop this matter."
Jiao Xin arrived just at this time.
I said to Jiao Xin: "You are here just in time.
You must mobilize the people as much as possible and go to the furnace and besiege him on his birthday.
If necessary, encourage the people to rush into the alchemy place and snatch out the boys and girls."
Jiao Xin was slightly startled and said in a low voice: "This is tantamount to starting a civil unrest.
Once the situation breaks out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to control."
I sneered and said: "Whatever, no matter what method is used, these innocent children must be rescued."
Humans are indeed selfish animals.
At first, I didn't expect Ming'er to be among them, so I didn't feel anything about it. , now once I am involved, I am more nervous than anyone else.
A Dong said: "I will try my best to sneak into the palace tonight and find out whether the little princess is there."
I couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Not to mention A Dong, even I didn't know what Ming'er looked like now, so there was no point in him sneaking in.
I whispered: "I'd better ask King Yong to do this.
With his identity, it will be easier to access the alchemy room."
I said to Jiao Xin: "Hurry up and find out the background of these alchemists and where they live." , trying to find a way to save these children from within."
Jiao Xin nodded.
I added: "In these two days, I will be able to get detailed drawings of the internal construction of the palace.
We can study the corresponding plan for the layout of the palace
.
