Murong Qiufeng was stunned for a moment. His attention was instantly diverted, and his embarrassment was reduced. He asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Shangguan Ye put one hand around his waist and played with the hair on his chest with the other. He gently leaned his chin on his shoulder. After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke, "Actually, the late emperor left two edicts back then.
, and the contents are all the same edict."
Murong Qiufeng frowned slightly, and his heart tightened. It seemed that it was related to the secret history of the royal family.
"That edict is the edict of passing the throne. One part is written with my name, and the other part is the emperor's name."
"What?" Murong Qiufeng turned his head in shock, but forgot about the current posture of the two of them, his cheek touched the slightly dry lips, and his body suddenly stiffened again, and then he immediately turned his head as if he was electrocuted.
Shangguan Ye chuckled happily and kissed him on the face before moving him down and asking, "Are you that surprised?"
Murong Qiufeng blushed, but couldn't help but frown and asked, "Does the late emperor also want to make you the emperor?"
"No, he doesn't want to make me emperor. The edict is just a bargaining chip to bind me."
"How to say?"
"Back then, I stayed at the border for three years, but I repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats. Plus, at a young age, my reputation could not be ignored, whether in the military or in government and opposition parties. At that time, the battle for the throne was at its most intense.
The plan planned by the late emperor to seize the throne and eliminate him was defeated by me.
The chaos, and my role in adding fuel to the flames, finally got out of hand. In just one year, there were three palace coups, in which about ten princes died, and many relatives, concubines, and princesses were buried there.
During the fight for the throne, the palace was filled with smoke."
"Later, the late emperor put an end to the chaos in the palace, called me back, and took out the abdication edict that he had made in advance, which included making me emperor. He knew full well that I would never be emperor, so he used this edict to threaten me.
.”
"Why not become the emperor? You have fought so hard in the war, but once you become the emperor, won't you be able to take control of everything?"
"Haha, I strive for power, but not for the throne. I don't want to be an emperor at all. On the contrary, I hate that position. Being an emperor is not as good as it seems. It is just another prison. But then
I was still a fledgling at that time and could not fight with that old fox. He gave me two choices: to become the next emperor and guard the country of Yan forever. The other was to become the side by side king and assist the emperor in stabilizing the country.
Once the internal and external troubles are over, I can leave."
"So, you chose the second one, to assist the emperor, but how can internal and external troubles never exist? If it keeps like this, don't you have to keep guarding it?"
"It's different. Although internal and external troubles will not disappear forever, they will not exist all the time. Besides, I only care about the big ones, not the small ones. Besides, I like the feeling of being on the battlefield, free and easy."
"Does the Emperor know this?"
"Of course he knew that when the late emperor was dying, he put two seals beside his bed for us to choose. One was the jade seal of passing the throne, and the other was the seal of military power. If you choose the throne, you will lose two-thirds of the military power. If you choose the military power,
, then he can only become a king, not a king.
As the emperor. And let the two of them swear that they will never covet what the other party has, otherwise the other party has the right to seize it first, and there is also a secret edict that can only be opened by us together twenty years later. It contains everything about us.
Something you care about.”
Murong Qiufeng was stunned for a long time before he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Shangguan Ye asked curiously, "Why are you laughing?"
"No, I just feel that... the late emperor is indeed very resourceful. This will undoubtedly allow you to check and balance each other. Such a choice will obviously make the emperor unwilling. He will always be worried about you, but he cannot take action against you. And you also understand,
Once you return the military power, the emperor will
I will never let you go. I just want to tie you all to the kingdom of Yanguo for the rest of your life. As for the secret... people are curious. The more mysterious it is, the more they want to know. The late emperor used his last life to tell you this
, undoubtedly makes you unable to resist that curious letter."
Shangguan Ye snorted coldly, "So he is an old fox." Although he was dissatisfied and hated the late emperor, he had to admit that the late emperor was indeed a wise emperor who arranged everything properly.
, even to death he wants others to follow the path paved by him, and he is the kind of person who cannot refuse.
"Do you still hate it?" The two of them were silent for a while. Murong Qiufeng hesitated for a moment and then asked, his voice a little low.
He asked this because he was afraid of opening Shangguan Ye's scars, but he was also worried that Shangguan Ye was still living in hatred. He didn't want Shangguan Ye to bury himself because of hatred, let alone hurt innocent people because of this.
Shangguan Ye paused, then raised his hand and pinched his chin, put his mouth close to his ear, and said softly, "I don't hate it anymore, because... I have more important things to do in my future life." As he said,
She also bit his ear ambiguously.
Murong Qiufeng took a breath, subconsciously covered her ears, turned her head to avoid it, and reached out to push him away, "Shangguan Ye, this is enough."
When he turned around, Shangguan Ye changed his hands to support his back and leaned forward to pursue his lips.
Murong Qiufeng was so frightened that she evaded nervously.
Just at this block, Youxiang's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty, Young Master."
Murong Qiufeng paused, then immediately stared nervously at Shangguan Ye, "Let go."
Shangguan Ye laughed softly, and finally let him go under Murong Qiufeng's angry glare.
"Come in."
Youxiang walked in with a plate in her hands. As soon as she entered the door, she found that the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. The prince looked at Murong Qiufeng with a half-smile but not a smile. He seemed to be in a good mood. He remembered that the prince had been in a bad mood these days because of Murong Qiufeng's sadness.
, and there was the blush on Murong Qiufeng's face that was filled with embarrassment and embarrassment that she tried hard to hide but couldn't.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips and snickered. It seemed that the prince was bullying others again. It seemed that the prince was afraid that he would be eaten soon.
"Masters, don't make trouble for now. It's cold at night. Drink some hot porridge to warm up."
Murong Qiufeng's whole face turned red again. Hearing Youxiang's teasing, she couldn't help but glare at Shangguan Ye and gave him an angry look.
Shangguan Ye didn't care, and didn't even blame Youxiang for making fun of her. He just smiled and admired Murong Qiufeng's shy and cute look.
Shangguan Ye has become more popular since having Murong Qiu Feng, and You Xiang is not as restrained as before and dares to joke around.
However, Shangguan Ye did not always succeed. At least when he fell asleep at night, he was kicked out of the room by Murong Qiufeng and refused to live in the same room with him. Now Shangguan Ye has no scruples and his actions are becoming more and more unscrupulous.
Early the next morning, Youxiang pulled her up to remove the stitches.
Shangguan Ye didn't go to the morning court either, waiting for him to remove the stitches early in the morning.
"Haha, the healing situation is better than I imagined. It seems that no medicine is needed like this, and the scars will disappear soon. I'm really curious about what exotic flowers and herbs you ate before. Not only are you not easy to be poisoned, but you also have such healing power.
powerful."
Murong Qiufeng touched his neck and smiled warmly, "Senior brother always brings many strange flowers and fruits. I don't know what they are, but I know they are very useful."
Shangguan Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and shot towards Youxiang.
Youxiang twitched the corner of her mouth, flattered Ma's legs, and quickly changed the subject, "Ah haha, really, I actually have quite a few..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard an announcement from outside that the Queen had arrived.
