When the snow in the third year of Yonghui falls on Zhuque Que, it always smells of rust.
On the day Shen Zhao, the young minister of Dali Temple, cut open the first corrupt corpse with a red pen, Prince Su Xiao Jinghuan was touching the map of the northern border with his blood-stained fingertips. Seven years ago, the young man who demolished the "Salt and Iron Theory" under the plum tree in the East Palace is now reunited in the most disgusting wound of the dynasty across the Xiechi crown and Panlong uniform.
Twelve old blood edicts were revealed in the military pay case, and the candlelight of the bronze bird stand reflected two entangled figures. "Shen Mingyun, you have punished all the sins in the world, but do you dare to punish this king's heart?" Xiao Jinghuan held the witness's throat bone and pressed him against the screen of "Liang Law", his fingers still stained with pus and blood from old wounds that fell to protect him. The collarbone under Shen Zhao's official robe is branded with the unique red phoenix pattern of the Xiao royal family - it should have been buried in the imperial mausoleum with Jing Huan's twin brother twenty-two years ago.
When the fragrance of "Zhu Yan Gai" spread over the poisonous wine of Qingliang Palace, they finally understood the game: the decaying emperor on the dragon throne used the world as a scale and wanted two sons with the same blood to become black and white twins. Every page of the iron scroll of the Ministry of Justice held by Shen Zhao was evidence of Xiao Jinghuan's murder of his father and king; deep in the military talisman held by Xiao Jinghuan, there was hidden half of the dragon and phoenix jue that Shen Zhao's mother had broken when she was hanging from the beam.
The history books will record: On the day when Prince Su was pierced by thousands of arrows for treason, the chief minister of Dali Temple burned himself on the Suzaku Tower. But no one knew that what was in the mouth of the burnt corpse was the medicine guide carved from the third poison-quenched rib of Jing Huan's left chest.
