Episode 12

Gu Fengen told Xiao Dingquan that all this was to help Xiao Dingquan sit on the throne and allow Xiao Dingquan to fulfill the ideal of He Qinghaiyan in the Celestial Dynasty. However, Xiao Dingquan felt that Gu Fengen was killing innocent people indiscriminately and making excuses to deceive himself and others.Gu Fengen retorted that these people would have died three years ago if it were not for Xiao Dingquan's kindness, but Xiao Dingquan never thought of changing their fate and felt that Xiao Dingquan had been wasting time.Xiao Dingquan told Gu Fengen that there were things he couldn't do rather than something he didn't do, and advised Gu Fengen to stop.

Gu Fengen was not persuaded, Li Chongkui led his troops to attack, and the two armies fought.Gu Fengen still insisted that without the world, there would be no popular support. After repeatedly confirming that Xiao Dingquan's mind would not change, he reluctantly drew his sword and killed himself. Gu Fengen's blood splashed all over Xiao Dingquan's face.Xiao Dingquan felt even more uncomfortable than his own death, and regretted letting Gu Fengen go, while there was still a fierce battle behind him.Changzhou City was breached under the leadership of Li Chongkui, and the emperor sent someone to send an edict to escort the deposed prince back to Beijing. However, Xiao Dingquan became seriously ill from working hard day and night to save the people.The emperor received a new report, blaming Xu Changping and You Ming for taking credit and not returning to Beijing. The messenger interceded for Xu Changping and You Ming before they were allowed to retire and return home.

The emperor turned to the matter of the prince's self-destruction. He said that he would not regret and feel uncomfortable because of the prince's wishes, but he repeatedly checked the prince's medical reports.As autumn turned to winter, the deposed prince Xiao Dingquan kept himself locked up in Chui Gong Hall without seeing anyone.On a snowy day, Lu Wenxi came outside the palace to see the deposed prince. Xiao Dingquan's mood improved slightly after seeing Lu Wenxi.When the two hugged each other and talked, Lu Wenxi used the title of censor to tactfully tell Xiao Dingquan that she was happy.Xiao Dingquan touched Lu Wenxi's belly and cried with joy, feeling that he had no regrets.During this period, while kissing Lu Wenxi, Xiao Dingquan took away the gold hairpin from Lu Wenxi's head.Lu Wenxi understood Xiao Dingquan's hopeless heart. After conveying the emperor's words of concern, he helped Xiao Dingquan send a letter to the emperor.Lu Wenxi bid farewell to Xiao Dingquan at the door before leaving, saying that he has been destined to live forever and ever.

After seeing Xiao Dingquan's love-hate letter, the emperor rushed to Chui Gong Palace overnight, sent away the people around him, and expressed his true feelings as a father to the door outside the palace. He said that he and the late empress were actually in love, and he was very concerned about Xiao Dingquan's birth.joy.The emperor burst into tears and wanted to compensate Xiao Dingquan, but Xiao Dingquan refused to answer or open the door.Just when the emperor turned around, a window was blown open by the wind and snow, and what was reflected in the curtains was Xiao Dingquan sleeping on the bed, with blood on his wrists covering the floor.The emperor saw such a scene through the slit of the window. He called out Xiao Dingquan's nickname, Abao, in grief. When he hurriedly called for help, he fell down on the snow again and again, heartbroken.It's a pity that he can no longer wake up his Abao. Xiao Dingquan has committed suicide by cutting his wrists, and the prop for cutting his wrists is Lu Wenxi's golden hairpin. Xiao Dingquan shed a tear when he was dying. The deposed prince Xiao Dingquan was posthumously posthumous by the emperor.The position of Crown Prince Huide was buried in Huiling.After Xiao Dingquan left, Lu Wenxi missed Xiao Dingquan while swinging on the swing to nurse her fetus, feeling as if Xiao Dingquan was by her side.

In the dead of night, the emperor would often fantasize about Xiao Dingquan sitting opposite him and making medicine for him. Whenever he thought of it, he would cry with grief. At this time, he finally admitted that he was wrong.Xu Changping was in Changzhou to see the vast desert sea and snow-covered mountains for Xiao Dingquan.Watching the sun set in the west, Xu Changping couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Dingquan once longed for the beauty of the country and freedom, but what he cared about was the prosperity of the world and the suffering of the people.This is probably the avenue in Xiao Dingquan's heart. Xu Changping believes that Xiao Dingquan's martyrdom will bring a peaceful world.Five years later, in Prince Lin, Changsha County Prince Xiao Dingliang assisted the young emperor Xiao Chen in planting the Prince Tree, while Li Chongkui looked on with a loving look on his face.Not long after, the emperor also came to see Achen. Xiao Chen was very happy to see Wengweng and ran towards him. Xiao Ruijian jumped up and down.When little Xiao Chen accidentally fell down, Xiao Ruijian would still ask Xiao Chen to stand up on his own with a loving look on his face.When Xiao Chen came to Xiao Ruijian, Xiao Ruijian picked up the little golden grandson Achen and let Achen play with his crown unscrupulously, giving all his love to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Ruijian hopes that Xiao Chen, who is also a treasure, can be a good prince like Xiao Dingquan, and hereby invites Xu Pingchang to be Xiao Chen's young master. However, Xiao Ruijian is worried and will teach Xiao Chen personally to reassure Sanlang.In the pavilion in the mountains of Heqing Haiyan, Xiao Dingquan and Lu Wenxi hugged each other and looked at the beautiful rivers and mountains. Kewai meant, please wait for me.Xu Changping knew that he was Xiao Dingquan's confidant, and he also knew that King Zhao wanted to cut off Xiao Dingquan's left and right arms by reporting him.Here in Prince Lin, Xu Changping wanted to offer Xiao Dingquan a final plan before he was caught, and let Xiao Dingquan's seven Beijing guards surround and suppress three of King Zhao's Beijing guards.Xiao Dingquan did not want to deal with his brother ruthlessly, and did not want to rebel against him. Instead, he persuaded Xu Changping not to commit the serious crime of inciting the prince to rebel and kill the nine tribes.Xu Changping laughed at himself for his lack of love, but he would not kill the nine tribes so easily, and hinted that he came to Prince Lin for a reason.Xu Changping then lit up the sky lantern according to the plan and asked the officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Punishment to arrest him. This was an instruction he gave to the Ministry of Punishment in advance in the name of the prince, with the purpose of exonerating Prince Xiao Dingquan.Xiao Dingquan did not allow the people from the Ministry of Punishment to take Xu Changping to accuse He. His uncle had already died there, and he did not want Xu Changping to be tortured to death by the people accused of He.

However, Xu Changping didn't want to drag down Xiao Dingquan, so he decided to leave.After the officers and soldiers took Xu Changping away, Xiao Dingquan felt that Wang Weng and the others were hiding something from him.Xixi covered her face with a veil and sent a message for Lu Wenxi. She wanted Chang He, King Zhao's subordinate, to tell her the whereabouts of Mr. Lu, so she gave the secret message to Chang He.Zhao Wang Xiao Dingkai heard the court report from Changhe and found that neither the emperor nor the prince acted abnormally, so he wanted to add fuel to the fire.He lived a long life and spread two rumors in the palace. One was that the prince had been disrespectful to the queen all the time, which led to the queen's death and forced the brothers to leave the capital during the filial piety period. The other was that Xu Changping's arrest was related to rebellion.As for the evidence of Master Xu mentioned in Lu Wenxi's secret letter, Xiao Dingkai had already searched Xu's house. Fortunately, Li Chongkui of the Criminal Department did not search carefully enough to help them, saying that Sister Jiang Shanggong's hard work would not be wasted.Xiao Dingquan specially customized a swing for Lu Wenxi. Lu Wenxi thought that Xiao Dingquan was going to declare war on his father during the national mourning period. Xiao Dingquan said that he just wanted to give all the interesting things in the world to Lu Wenxi.

Lu Wenxi was very satisfied with the swing. While he was happily playing on the swing, he couldn't help but think of the time he spent swinging with his elder brother and younger brother when he was a child. Thinking of A Jin's absence, he would inevitably feel sad. Xiao Dingquan went to Lu Wenxi's side to comfort her.After that, the two talked about Xu Changping again, and Xiao Dingquan was sad again.Both of them knew that this game would be bloody again, so they hugged each other to give each other strength. Xiao Dingquan hoped that Lu Wenxi would survive this time no matter what, and Lu Wenxi also hoped that His Highness could protect himself.After Xiao Dingquan presided over the queen's funeral ceremony, he returned to his hometown outside the emperor's palace.The emperor invited Xiao Dingquan to accompany him for a walk, in the direction of Konghe.On the carriage, the emperor gave Xiao Dingquan a chance to explain his relationship with Xu Changping, implying whether Xiao Dingquan was involved in the rebellion.Xiao Dingquan argued that he had always regarded Xu Changping as the secretary given to him by his father, and there was no other relationship.When the emperor saw that Xiao Dingquan refused to admit it, he told Xiao Dingquan that Kong Hewei found a set of prince's uniforms in Xu's house. Xiao Dingquan argued that he lent them to Xu Changping to wear on a rainy day.

The emperor continued to give evidence and took out the prince's jade belt found in Xu's house and threw it to Xiao Dingquan. Xiao Dingquan was stunned. He was unable to defend himself and could only say that someone was trying to frame him.And this jade belt was the evidence that Li Chongkui had not found.The emperor gave him one last chance to explain, but Xiao Dingquan couldn't explain himself clearly, so the emperor had no choice but to take Xiao Dingquan straight to Konghe.Wang Weng hurried back to inform Lu Wenxi that something happened with the jade belt.Lu Wenxi told Wang Weng not to worry and asked where Xiao Dingquan was.At this time, Xiao Dingquan was brought to Konghe by the emperor, and the emperor wanted to interrogate Xu Changping personally in front of Xiao Dingquan.Xu Changping was lying in the lobby with injuries all over his body, which shocked Xiao Dingquan. The emperor ordered someone to splash water to wake Xu Changping up.The embarrassed Xu Changping raised his head and looked at the emperor. The emperor looked at Xu Changping's face and suddenly thought of his brother who had hanged himself.
