Hua Xuanji and Qingge's hands held each other tightly. Hua Xuanji held Qi'er with one hand and patted Qingge's back with the other to tell her not to be afraid, while she quietly got lucky.
The dungeon was so dark that Hua Xuanji couldn't tell whether the person was an enemy or a friend.
However, the body reacted first than the mind. As soon as the visitor's fingers touched the iron rope that locked them, Hua Xuanji let go of Qingge and slapped the visitor with a palm.
"Xuanji, what are you doing?"
Yu Wuxia was caught off guard and received a slap in the face, and let out a surprised cry.
Only then did Hua Xuanji realize that the person coming was Yu Wuxia.
He quickly stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and apologized: "Ah, I'm sorry, Wu Xia, I didn't know it was you. Are you okay?"
"Your little effort can't hurt me." Yu Wuxia sighed warmly and stretched out his hand to rub Hua Xuanji's hair, then asked slowly: "On your side, it's okay. Bai Yan didn't do anything to you."
"Uncle Wuxia." Qi'er was particularly close to Yu Wuxia as soon as he saw her, and fell into Yu Wuxia's arms before Hua Xuanji could reply.
Hua Xuanji smiled, pinched Qi'er's little face, and replied lightly, "I'm fine, Bai Yan doesn't dare to do anything to me even if he thinks about it. Hey.
As if she suddenly remembered something, Hua Xuanji patted her head in annoyance and said anxiously, "What time is it now? Have my father and the others started?"
"Of course it's starting." Yu Wuxia understood that Hua Xuanji was actually worried about Yehua. Even though Hua Xuanji had acted so heartlessly before, Yu Wuxia could still see her love for Yehua.
Perhaps, he was sent to protect her in this life, and he was destined to be more comfortable seeing him happy than she was by his side. A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yu Wuxia's lips. She said warmly to Hua Xuanji: "Okay, okay.
, my drug won’t last long, so if you want to ask anything, we’ll ask you on the way, we’d better get to a safe place soon.”
"Okay, okay." Hua Xuanji nodded eagerly, and Yu Wuxia opened the lock next door and released Ye Sheng. They quickly walked out and got on the carriage prepared by Yu Wuxia.
However, just as Hua Xuanji got half of her body into the carriage, a snow-white homing pigeon flew towards Yu Wuxia.
Yu Wuxia quickly untied the note from the carrier pigeon's leg and read it carefully.
However, his brows became more and more frowned.
Seeing that the carriage had not started yet, Hua Xuanji jumped up half her body and asked, "What happened? What's going on?"
Yu Wuxia quickly used her skills to turn the note into powder, and then said to Hua Xuanji with a bit of confusion: "2 We can't go back to the palace now. Your plan has been ruined and the situation has changed. You guys should follow me quickly."
Go somewhere”
The sunlight quietly hit Yehua's face, and his long eyelashes slowly drooped, casting broken shadows like shells on his face.
Yin Hong's figure is still so eye-catching in the sea of people.
What happened just now was something Ye Hua had not expected. It had to be said that these days he was completely immersed in the sadness of the Queen's death and in searching for what happened four years ago.
He became more and more relaxed about matters in the court.
In fact, there is nothing to worry about. Ye Hua has long had a reputation in people's minds. Take the few battles he won as an example, they have left their mark on many people's hearts. The people's voice is very loud in calling for him.
Taking a deep breath, Yehua's fists hidden under his sleeves were filled with cold sweat.
However, Yehua's many years of experience have trained him to be as calm as water, and despite this sudden incident, Yehua did not panic at all.
Because he understands that nothing in the world is smooth sailing, and the higher he is promoted, the worse he will fall.
If Bai Yan is dazzled by the momentary victory, it will be of no harm to him.
Things turned out exactly as Yehua thought. Gujing Wubo, the Minister of Civil Affairs, took a step forward and said calmly: "I think the second prince is more suitable for this throne than the sixth prince."
"Oh?" The emperor looked surprised and said calmly: "Where did Li Aiqing start talking about this?"
"First of all, the second prince is a direct descendant. Although there is a fortune teller, it is said that the former one will bring good luck and the next one will bring disaster, but that is just some superstition. Moreover, the second prince has fought two battles with disparity in strength, which has brought certain benefits to the people.
, he handles things decisively and decisively, does not procrastinate, and is honest and honest, never coming and going in the flower house. He is really a rare wise man."
"Yeah yeah."
"It makes sense, it makes sense..."...
As soon as the Minister of Civil Affairs finished speaking, the others behind him started to respond, and their voices were extremely high, far overshadowing Bai Yan's call just now.
When the prime minister saw this scene, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Even the emperor had to admit that Hua Xuanji made a really smart move.
First, he asked himself and the prime minister to strongly recommend Bai Yan as the prince.
But last night, he asked the prime minister to go from house to house in person with the emperor's imperial edict stating that he would ask them to side with Ye Hua tomorrow.
In this way, no matter how much he and the prime minister support Bai Yan, Yehua will still win with more.
"What about the other beloved princes' opinions?" The emperor pretended to be a little annoyed, as if his wishes had been violated.
"Wei Chen agrees with the statement of the Minister of Civil Affairs." The Minister of Rites stood up and said unhurriedly.
"Wei Chen also agrees."
"The lower official thinks so too."
Immediately afterwards, officials of all sizes began to stand up and speak for Yehua.
Yehua stood there and scanned everyone's expressions indifferently.
Suddenly, I discovered that, in fact, I had been accidentally drawn into a chess game that led to death and survival.
After scanning the Prime Minister's extremely indifferent face, Ye Hua realized that the people who really dominated this drama were actually the Emperor and the Prime Minister.
Slowly raising his head, Yehua gently looked at the emperor's eyebrows.
Ever since the Queen revealed that fact, Yehua's hatred towards the Emperor was actually not that great.
After all, he is a man, so he had such a big reaction when he learned that Hua Xuanji was unclean, let alone raising a child for someone else.
He could not forgive him for setting up his own mistreatment of his mother.
However, he is also lonely, being plotted by his own children in this lonely palace.
However, having said that, Yehua still wants to compete for the throne. He wants to fulfill his mother's last wish and avenge the child who was killed by Bai Yan.
Taking a deep breath, Yehua finally opened his mouth.
"Thank you all for your kind words for Ye Hua. In fact, it doesn't matter whether Ye Hua ascends to the position of prince, as long as he can relieve his father's worries, that's enough."
After saying this, there was another burst of praise from the crowd, and the emperor nodded along with the show of praise.
Yin Hong's lips curled up slightly, and Bai Yan's smile was a little ferocious at this moment. But he was so confident that he was not at all annoyed that those people had plotted against him.
Such an expression made even the emperor shudder, thinking it was his own illusion.
Bai Yan suddenly took a step forward, with a faint smile still on his face. "Actually, Erchen also feels that the second brother is actually better than Erchen. But..."
After a slight pause, Bai Yan suddenly raised his head, his narrow peach eyes flashing with sharp light, which made people shudder. "But, Da Yang's dynasty has always belonged to our Ye family, how could it be handed over to a bastard so easily!"
"
Bai Yan spoke every word very clearly, so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
The sound of cold gasping echoed behind Bai Yan, and the prime minister's spine felt even colder.
A look of surprise appeared on the emperor's face involuntarily.
No wonder, he was so calm just now, it turned out that he had this hand in reserve, but it has to be said that the emperor's initial judgment was correct, and Bai Yan was indeed ruthless.
Seeing that everyone looked surprised, Bai Yan snorted coldly. Then he said gently: "My son accidentally learned that the second emperor brother was not the son of the emperor and the empress, but the empress and a Mongolian.
A bastard son bred by a man, I don’t know whether the emperor can tolerate it or not.”
Seeing Bai Yan's calm and calm look, even the emperor felt a touch of pressure invisibly. This was a difficult topic to choose.
If you answer yes, if word spreads, others will say that the current emperor is incapable of raising a son for others, but if you say you don't know, then Yehua...
Under heavy gazes, the emperor finally took a deep breath and said calmly: "I don't know."
When the emperor said these three words, Yehua did not feel surprised. Instead, he felt that it was a matter of course. The royal face and his own, no matter who chooses, the first will come first.
All you can do at this time is don't panic.
The fists hidden under his sleeves were clenched tightly. Yehua slowly exhaled and said calmly: "I wonder if you have any evidence?"
Bai Yan seemed to expect that he would ask such a question. He took a breath slowly, patted his slender palms lightly, and said to the Emperor Gujing Wubo: "Father, I have found the one who accompanied the Queen back then."
A married woman!"
The sound of gasping immediately came to mind again. Bai Yan seemed to be very satisfied with the result, and the smile on his lips became even deeper.
The emperor's hand holding the dragon chair was trembling slightly. After a long while, he said softly: "Pass"
Eunuch Li's expression on the side was not very good-looking, and it took him a long time to react after the emperor's order. However, this was nothing, in the eyes of others, they thought they were too surprised.
Following Eunuch Li's sharp voice, the door to the main hall was slowly pushed open, and the dazzling sunlight slowly poured in. However, the mother-in-law who walked in made Bai Yan's face turn pale, and Ye Hua was a little surprised.
Immediately afterwards, Hua Xuanji followed her mother-in-law and walked in, looking at Bai Yan with a proud smile. However, when she saw Yehua looking at her with a fleeting gaze, she quickly avoided it and quickly looked at her mother-in-law with salivating eyes.
They all saluted and said: "Women of the common people, (concubines) see the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
