Chapter 421 I am actually qualified to be emperor?
Leng Bing?
Ximen Wan stared blankly at the man guarding him, "Your surname is Leng? Are you from the Leng family?"
Su Ranhua narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Li Bing. This was something she had never expected. She just felt that Leng Lie, who was called Eunuch Zhou, looked very similar to Li Bing, and he was hiding behind the screen.
From their demeanor, we could guess that the two of them were related by blood, but we never expected that not only were they descendants of the previous royal family, but Li Bing was actually the candidate to replace Ximen Xianchu.
In this way, Li Bing suddenly became the person competing with Ximen Hao for power.
This is the real impermanence of things!
"Li Bing, you only want to change your identity in order to marry Princess Wan. It seems that this is a piece of cake." Su Ranhua said with a smile.
Ximen Wan shrank back from Li Bing's tight grip.
Li Bing turned around and looked straight at Ximen Wan, with a bitter smile on his lips, "What? The princess has a problem with me?"
"It's too sudden, it's really too sudden!" Ximen Wan shook his head at a loss.
Li Bing twitched the corners of his lips slightly, "Not only did you find it sudden, but I was also shocked when I first learned about this. I am actually qualified to be the emperor?"
"Of course." Leng Lie looked proud, "My father is already old. I just want to get this thousands of miles of country for you. I leave you to sit on the dragon throne and leave the country to you to guard. I believe that you have been with Ximen Xianchu for so many years.
I have learned a lot about how to govern a country, and I will definitely be able to take on this important task."
Li Bing let go of Ximen Wan, turned around and walked towards Leng Lie, "Father? I thought I knew a lot of secrets in the palace, but I didn't find out that Eunuch Zhou, who was sorting books in Wenyuan Pavilion, was his biological father. I didn't expect that I would meet Leng Lie.
The family has something to do with it.”
When he decided to take Bai Yiyi back to the East Prince's Mansion, he didn't want to hear about the sudden change in the East Prince's Mansion along the way. When he took advantage of the night to sneak into the resting escort team to find Ximen Sheng, what he saw was a man who made him uncomfortable in his life.
The unforgettable King Dong.
Without the jade tree Linfeng, the gentle and heroic spirit of the past, he was just a dying man. Ximen Sheng's image instantly collapsed in Li Bing's heart. The person he had always wanted to rely on was destined to be with him again when one foot had already stepped into the grave.
It is difficult to stand up, which means that Li Bing himself has lost his last supporter, and along with Dong Wang, he has become an ally that is not tolerated in the world.
Just when Li Bing was devastated because his dream was shattered, he saw Ximen Wan's figure in a trance, and wanted to see her one last time. So he abandoned Bai Yiyi and returned to the capital alone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sneaked into the palace, Eunuch Zhou suddenly appeared and was taken to the library of Wenyuan Pavilion. Then he heard a shocking secret.
Eunuch Zhou told him that even if he did not sneak into the palace, someone would find him. Because there were always people paying attention to his whereabouts.
Li Bing knew that he was somewhat similar to the taciturn Eunuch Zhou, but there were many similar people in the world, so he naturally wouldn't think too much about it. Besides, Eunuch Zhou was an old eunuch in the palace, so he didn't expect him to dream.
I never thought that I could be this eunuch's biological son.
Is there a fake eunuch hiding in the palace?
Eunuch Zhou told Li Bing that his name was actually Leng Lie. He had a good relationship with a maid in the palace and secretly gave birth to Li Bing. After Li Bing was born, in order to give him a bright environment to grow up, he and his newborn son
The lady of General Li's mansion discussed it and secretly dropped the bag and survived as the son of the Li family. The palace maid was secretly executed after giving birth to Li Bing.
Leng Lie, who was already over 40 years old at the time, just wanted a son who belonged to him.
The Li family had a good relationship with Ximen Sheng's biological mother's family, so they sent Li Bing to be Ximen Sheng's book boy and they grew up together.
However, when Ximen Sheng was sent to Jiangnan, Leng Lie asked Ximen Xianchu to use bone-killing powder to force Li Bing to stay in the palace and become a close guard of the emperor.
This was done, firstly, to have a reason to keep Li Bing, secondly, to exercise Li Bing's natural abilities, and thirdly, to give Li Bing an opportunity to experience the life of an emperor and handle state affairs.
But now, all the times have matured, and it is time for Li Bing to restore his surname Leng and take charge of the country.
After hearing these words, Li Bing felt as if he was in a dream and was in a trance. He once wanted to be the hero who assisted Ximen Sheng in ascending the throne, but he never thought that one day he would sit in that position.
But it must be said that that position is full of temptation, otherwise the Ximen brothers would not kill each other for that position.
However, Leng Lie went on to say that in order to eliminate the root cause, he would kill everyone in the Ximen family, including Ximen Wan.
Li Bing was unwilling to agree, so he deliberately went to Cuizhu Pavilion to test Ximen Wan's feelings. Because Leng Lie finally compromised and said that as long as Ximen Wan never abandons him and is sincere, he can allow Li Bing to take the throne after he takes the throne.
Na Ximen became a concubine later, but she had to be sterilized and she was never allowed to give birth to any children with Ximen blood, so as not to make the same mistakes as Ximen Xianchu did today.
At this time, Li Bing stood in front of Leng Lie, and still felt that the word "father" was unfamiliar. Since he lived next to Ximen Xianchu, he naturally understood the calculations of power. He knew that he was just in the hands of this biological father who suddenly appeared.
A chess piece, just to restore the lost power of the Leng family and restore the dominance of the Ming Dynasty. There is no deep love between father and son at all.
"So what?" Leng Lie raised his eyebrows disapprovingly after listening to Li Bing's self-deprecating words, "As long as you know that you are about to sit on the throne, and the person who looks down on the world is you. What does it mean to be king next to you?
The highest honor is to be the emperor of the Five Emperors!"
"Brother Li, please don't do anything stupid!" Ximen, who had come back to his senses, took a step forward and followed behind Li Bing, saying urgently.
"I told you, you have no right to call him that." Leng Lie glared at Ximen Wan and said, "He has kowtowed to your Ximen family enough. It will be your turn to kowtow to him in the future. Don't let me hear another disrespectful word."
words!"
"I'm scaring your daughter-in-law." Su Ranhua chuckled and pulled Ximen Wan to her side. "You haven't reached that position yet. Now is not the time to care about these little details. You need to be cautious and strict.
The best thing to do is to be more prepared, but don’t fail. If I have the chance, I still want to live well."
He glanced at Su Ranhua coldly and walked towards her.
"Is the dead Ximen Hao real?" Leng Lie stood in front of Su Ran's painting, looking directly at her with sharp eyes.
"Whether it is real or not, you can tell if you bring it to the palace for testing?" Su Ranhua raised her eyebrows. She knew that a fake corpse could not convince the people in the palace, but it could also confuse people to some extent.
Leng Lie and Su Ranhua looked at each other, both wanting to get into the other's heart.
"Actually, when you release me from the prison, you should believe me without any doubt." Su Ranhua withdrew his gaze, "You must have a way to know the things outside the palace, the chaos in the North Palace and Mingyue Tower.
You must have seen Ximen Hao’s destruction, I am bent on eradicating Ximen Hao. As for King Nan——”
Su Ranhua raised his eyes and glanced at Leng Lie, "His group of people who knew the current affairs dispersed. Those who didn't knew the current affairs were taken over by the Hu family. They tried to usurp the imperial power and struggled to death. They were already looking for death. Besides, the moat was so small.
One thing, when I fell into the river with Ximen Hao, we were already being watched. Besides finding the body, what else was there?"
His cold eyes were always on Su Ranhua's face, judging the truth or falsehood of her words.
Indeed, the Mingyue Tower outside the palace and several other places were destroyed. Even he did not expect that Ximen Hao would have so many secret strongholds, and it was a fact that so many people were killed and injured.
Although it is difficult to shake the foundation of Beiwang Mansion with only dozens of people, it is enough to mess up the situation. With the news of Ximen Hao's death, the state of Beiwang Mansion seems to have fallen into unprecedented chaos.
"How did you escape to the palace?" Leng Lie asked.
"Thanks to the Turtle Breathing Technique I learned and the excellent water skills I practiced in the south of the Yangtze River, I took the opportunity to hide in the water and escape while those people were stunned when they found Ximen Hao's body," Su Ranhua said.
, looking at the cold and doubtful eyes, his heart trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't believe it, I will kill my blood as an oath!"
As soon as the sound fell, Su Ranhua pulled out the dagger worn on his waist and slashed towards his arm.
Big drops of blood fell to the ground like a dike. Ximen Wan's face turned pale and he staggered back.
Su Ranhua clenched her fists and signaled to Leng Lie and Li Bing, "You see, this bit of blood is nothing to the hatred I have suffered. You are not women, and you don't know how to feel the little bit of the child in your belly."
The pain of being torn away. So, even if I didn’t kill Ximen Yi, I
I also wanted to think that I killed him with my own hands. Although I was annoyed with Master, I didn’t really blame him. I just hated myself for not having time to take action myself. Therefore, when I was in Showa Hall, I admitted to everyone that I was the one who killed Ximen Yi. This kind of thing
Do you understand the revengeful heart that is embedded in your bones?!"
"The corpse will be transported to the palace soon. We will make a decision at that time." Leng Lie lowered his eyelids and glanced at the pool of blood on the ground, "For now, you are allowed to follow us."
Su Ranhua put down his arm, pulled off a piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes and wrapped it around the wound. He secretly thought, Ximen Hao, you owe me another stab!
"Don't you have anything else to ask?" Seeing that Su Ranhua suddenly remained silent, Leng Lie felt a little out of breath. He knew that there would be no shortage of questions in Su Ranhua's heart at this time. The Leng family suddenly appeared.
Coming forward involves many issues.
"I have a lot of questions, but I'd better wait until the matter is completed before explaining. We don't have much time now." Su Ranhua said, covering his injured arm.
She wisely chose to be cautious in her words and deeds, and she also suppressed her curiosity about the inexplicable relationship between Leng Lie and Ximen Xianchu, pretending not to know. She knew that too much words would lead to mistakes, and a casual word might arouse the suspicion of her opponent.
