"Yu Xiang, you are finally here. These people slander me!" Zhao Run grabbed Yu Rong's arm: "How could I poison His Majesty? He is my biological brother!"

"You dare not poison him to death, but you dare to poison him other things, right?" Yu Rong said.

Zhao Run let go of his arm and looked at Yu Rong.

"I never wanted to kill my own brother," Zhao Run said: "Who did you hear? Call him over and I confront him, Xiao Wenyuan? He said I gave him poison, do you believe it? It was obvious that he wanted to poison my second brother, but he wanted to blame me!"

"Your Highness!" Yu Rong said: "I came here just to hear the truth from your highness. I don't care about how Zhao Zhun died. I just want to know, did you give the poison to the late emperor?"

Zhao Run was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Rong, and said, "I don't understand what the lord means."

"I used to suspect that I was too obscene, I doubted Zhao Zhun, and even everyone in the palace, but I never doubted you, just because you have never been interested in politics and have a deep affection with the late emperor. Although the late emperor and you were not born to the same mother, he has always taken good care of Your Highness. Is such a kind of brotherhood and respect just a appearance?" Yu Rong said.

Obviously he didn't take his justification seriously.

He believed Xiao Wenyuan's words, and it would be useless if he denied it himself, and it would only make Yu Rong feel hypocritical.

At this point, Zhao Run said, "Mr. Yu, let me tell you the truth. I did ask Xiao Wenyuan to replace the medicine given by Wen Liangchen, but I swear to the heaven that the medicine I gave Xiao Wenyuan will never poison anyone. If I poison my second brother, there is someone else!"

But he didn't know that just tearing a hole would be enough to see the whole person. He admitted that poisoning his second brother means that his all kinds of indifference in fame and fortune, benevolence and gentleness in the past were just illusions. How credible is this person who is good at disguise?

"If you show your desire for power nakedly, your ambition, and you use any means to make power, I may respect you." Yu Rong said, "Just like Yu Huaiyong, and even your second brother, they are my mortal enemies. I fight against them, but I respect them because they are treacherous heroes, but not villains."

Zhao Run was stunned for a moment and said, "I hope I can be like them, but I was born neither the eldest son nor the most favored one, but you pushed me to the forefront. If I don't hide it, who can tolerate me, Yu Huaiyong, my second brother, or Lord Yu? Or my poor elder brother."

He sat down on the chair: "I am indeed a villain, but in this circle of power struggles, who is a real gentleman? Throughout history, which emperor has not stained other people's blood? My second brother is dead now. The poison Wen Liangchen has been poisoned by at most Xiao Wenyuan, and this matter is over. Don't you want my second brother to die? You have long been looking forward to his death. Now everyone is happy and everyone has the wish."

Yu Rong said: "You shouldn't say this to me. The Empress Dowager who really decides where this matter goes."

"The only son of the mother is me, she will not give up on me," said Zhao Run.

"Do you know why I have recommended you to be the emperor all the way?" Yu Rong took two steps in the room and said, "You are not outstanding in qualifications, and you even have no power, but I think you have a kind heart. Now that the times have changed, and it is no longer the emperor's autocracy, the country can be peaceful and peaceful. As an emperor, his quality is far more important than his ability. What I value is your virtue. Now, I have read it wrong. Yu Rong and the late emperor have made your pawns together. It's ridiculous."

Zhao Run's eyes were slightly red and she said, "Mr. Yu said so, are you going to abandon me? But do you have a better choice? The choice you don't have, just like I didn't have to choose at the beginning. I'm going to this point, and you're forced to do it."

After hearing this, Yu Rong didn't speak for a long time.

He was willing to believe that Zhao Run, who was once unintentional to politics, had two brothers above him, and later a prince and nephew, and it was not his turn to the throne. At that time, Zhao Run might be as scattered and noble as his people, and indifferent to fame and fortune.

It was just that when the prince died and they began to push him to power, Zhao Run changed. Power corrupted him, or awakened his inner darkness and greed.

Everyone is in this Game of Thrones, but they are all teased by power.

Yu Rong turned around and walked outside, and Zhao Run stood up suddenly: "Mr. Yu, our era is coming. Lord. We have worked hard to plan for this day?"

Yu Rong did not turn around and walked out directly. The door was closed. Zhao Run quickly walked to the back of the door, punched the iron gate, and shouted: "I am the prince, I am the first heir now. This country will soon be mine. As long as you let me get out of this door!"

But no one responded to him.

Zhao Run walked back and forth in the room and said to himself: "I will be fine. I will be the emperor soon. No one dares to touch me... Who is not cruel? Didn't Yu Rong kill anyone? Big brother, second brother, all of them, who hasn't killed anyone? I'm for this country, I'm not for myself..."

He only felt a headache, but he couldn't sleep. As soon as he fell asleep, he remembered the scene of Zhao Zhun vomiting blood.

I don’t know how long it took, but someone pushed the door open. Zhao Run stood still with a breath and saw Zhou Lang coming in and said, “The Empress Dowager wants to see you.”

"Take me there quickly, take me there quickly!" Zhao Run said.

He knew very well that the initiative in this matter was not with Yu Rong and the others at all, but with the Empress Dowager.

He is Yao Yuanying’s only son, and Yao Yuanying is his firm backing!

It was already dark outside. He thought it was already night. When he was walking on the road, he suddenly realized that it had changed. At the end of the sky in the west, there was a bright cloud, and the rest were all shrouded by dark clouds. The wind blew, but it was very cool when it was blowing on people.

He was taken to the Empress Dowager's palace. After entering, he saw that Yao Yuanying was the only one in the room.

Yao Yuanying seemed to have grown a lot overnight. She sat on the bed, her eyes were still red. When she noticed that he was coming in, she turned her head and looked at him.

"Mother," Zhao Run knelt down, feeling that the room was very cold.

Yao Yuanying lowered her head and said, "Go and see your brother for the last time."

Zhao Run was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he found that Zhao Zhun's body was still in Yao Yuanying's bedroom. The bedroom was covered with ice, no wonder it was so cold.

His face changed in shock. He could only smell a very strange and strong fragrance in the room. He didn't know why, but now he suddenly understood. He felt a burst of vomiting. He stood up and walked towards Zhao Zhun's coffin.

Zhao Zhun's appearance has not changed at all. It seems that someone put on makeup on him, which is no different from when he was alive.

He looked down, tears falling down.

"Didn't your brother die immediately? He struggled for a long time. Do you know? When he was dying, he lay in my arms and asked me, why?" Yao Yuanying said.

"My mother..." Zhao Run walked to her bed, knelt down, and reached out to hold her arm: "My mother, this poison is really not something I have put in. I don't know why my second brother pointed at me before he died. Maybe... Maybe Xiao Wenyuan had framed me a long time ago. Mother, you believe me, I..."

Yao Yuanying slapped him in the face with a "slap".

Zhao Run cried and said, "Don't the queen believe me? In your eyes, is it the one who poisons my own brothers? I gave Wen Liangchen a pack of medicine, but that was not poison at all, that was not poison, why did I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped again.

Yao Yuanying's body trembled and tears flowed out of her face: "That's your biological brother, he is so nice to you. How can you do it!"

Zhao Run's face turned red and she yelled: "I didn't kill him! What I gave Wen Liangchen is not poison!"

"What's the difference between you doing this and killing him?" Yao Yuanying angrily rebuked: "You just didn't expect him to be poisoned to death in front of you on the spot, but you were also forcing him to die. What medicine did you give him? What do you want to do? You don't know? If you...If..."

Yao Yuanying covered her face and cried bitterly, saying, "You found that Wen Liangchen poisoned your brother, why didn't you tell us? You told us that your brother would not die either. You didn't kill him with your own hands, but you could save him, but you still had to use him if you don't save him when you see him. I just regret that your brother and I were blind. I haven't seen you for so many years, I don't know that you have been raised by others to be an ungrateful ungrateful wolf!"

Zhao Run laughed in tears: "Yeah, what's the mercy?"

He stood up from the ground and looked at Yao Yuanying: "When you left me and accompanied me to Elephantha Island, have you ever thought about me? When the second brother and the late emperor competed for power, did you think about me? The late emperor clearly passed the throne to me, but the second brother wanted to fight with me. Have he ever thought about me?! For so many years, I have been scared to make a living under the eyes of the late emperor. Have you ever thought about me when Elephantha Island is free? When I was used as a chess piece to deal with my own biological mother and brother, who have you ever thought about me?!"

Zhao Run gasped: "Yeah, what kind of grace? You said you were kind to me, and the late emperor also said you were kind to me. Which of you really cared about me and loved me. I used my second brother? Yes, I used him, I wanted him to die! You are satisfied. Then, are you going to kill me and avenge my second brother?"

Yao Yuanying coughed violently, looked at Zhao Run, but couldn't say a word.

Zhao Run stared at Yao Yuanying with a firm and sinister look and continued, "If you want to say that the source is still on you. If you hadn't been messing around with your father and your brother, how could the second brother not be liked by your father and your brother since childhood? How could he be sent to Jerusalem artichoke? If he hadn't gone, you wouldn't have followed him. I will teach you personally. How could he fight with each other and lead to such a tragic disaster today?! If everything is fine, the eldest brother dies, the second brother becomes the emperor, and I am my prince peacefully, how could he become a madman now?"

"You..." Yao Yuanying was almost breathless and pointed at him.

Zhao Run closed his eyes and raised his head: "So who should I blame? Don't blame anyone. If you want to blame, blame us for being born in the royal family. If you want to blame, blame us for being a royal family! Now you have only me, and this is also fate. My second brother has been with you for so many years, and now he is dead, but it doesn't matter, I will be with you."

"You...you get out!" Yao Yuanying tried his best and threw a pillow at him.

The pillow fell to Zhao Run's feet. He bent down and picked it up, patted the dust on his head, and said, "Kill Wen Liangchen and Xiao Wenyuan, let's stop here. I am the emperor, and you are the queen mother."

He sat down beside the bed and looked at Yao Yuanying.

Yao Yuanying was still crying silently, her face turned red and her gray hair was scattered all over her shoulders. Zhao Run lay on her lap, and said with red eyes: "My mother, I am your son too."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body was shocked, and then he pushed Yao Yuanying away and looked at her in disbelief.

Yao Yuanying's hands trembled and looked at him with tears.

Zhao Run had a dagger inserted on his back, and blood kept flowing downwards, wetting his gorgeous clothes. He staggered and took a step back and said, "My mother..."

"Your second brother ascended the throne. Even though you know that killing you, you will completely cut off the unfaithful intentions of Yu Rong's old ministers and make them have no one to assist you, but your second brother has nothing, just because power is important, but your younger brother is even more important. When he left Ziwei Palace and wanted to fight Yu Huaiyong to the death, I told you two brothers that no matter who you kill, you must never face your brother with swords. If you violate it, my mother will end him with your own hands. You knelt in front of me and swear, and now that you have betrayed your promise, I will fulfill your vow for you!"

Zhao Run's lips moved, tears fell down, and she fell to the ground. The blade pierced his chest, and blood flowed all over the ground, flowing to Zhao Zhun's coffin. His eyes were open and he never closed again.

Yao Yuanying struggled to climb down from the bed, climbed to Zhao Run's body, held him in his arms, and said, "You are right. From the moment I gave birth to your second brother, this is a grievance. Now everyone in this grievance has been retribution, all have been settled, and all have been settled. It is the mother and son who are sorry for you. But from now on, we will not be separated again."

She pulled out the dagger inserted into Zhao Run's body, and stabbed it into her heart. There was a thunder outside, and a rumbling rumble, and it was pouring rain.

The author has something to say: Another plot climax is coming, and it will be a finale. Strong plot text. If the plot is turned into a small love story, it will be broken. If you want to see the flow of emotions, you can watch the next door pretending to be poor and the flow of emotions.

Super sweet.
