In the twenty-seventh year of Emperor Yongxi's reign, the emperor's star was dim and his throne was vacant.
The third prince, Yu Jingyi, whose biological mother died early and his maternal family declined, has made great changes in the six tribes with his astonishing talent and Shura appearance. He is good at chess and loves to break games even more - in every game, he uses the court as the board, people's hearts as the pieces, and even himself can be the discarded piece. The Yun family of the aristocratic family used to have a hairpin, but once they were involved in a huge corruption case, their entire family was executed. The only orphan, Yun Jinchao, crawled out of the bloody prison and joined the third prince with a broken body and a broken name. He was once the brightest young man in Beijing, but now he is covered in old wounds and half of his family tree is incomplete. He vows to overturn the Yun family's case on the edge of a knife as the guilty queen. The two met for the first time in the scrap library of Dali Temple.
Yu Jingyi held the lamp and saw the chains on Yun Jinchao's wrists and the cold fire in his eyes;
Yun Jinchao raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the bloody secret fold hidden in the sleeve of this rumored "unintentional" prince. ——Since then, the court has had a pair of sharp blades side by side.
They teamed up to uncover thirty-year-old imperial examination scandals, overthrew two first-in-commands, used disaster relief money as bait to fish out the dark web of royal merchants, and then used border military pay as a tactic to force the prince to commit suicide in Zhao Prison.
Everyone knows that the third prince is cold-hearted, but they don't know that he applies medicine to Yun Jinchao in the secret room every night, drinks wine with his lips, and traces the old scar across his collarbone with his fingers;
The world also laughed at Yun's orphan who was willing to be a hawk, but they didn't know that every time he knelt down and worshiped, he was blocking a hidden arrow for Yu Jingyi, and every "betrayal" was a pre-death situation written in advance.
Purpose: Between the desire for power and pure love, they cut through the shady curtain of the era with the sharpest sincerity, but ultimately proved that no matter how careful the plan is, it is no match for the words "The world will not allow it."
