The season is the hottest time of the year in the imperial capital of Yaoguo. You can see dazzling sunshine and flying catkins everywhere. Usually at this time, people would choose to avoid the sun exposure in cool rooms, but some people have to go out in the scorching sun just because of their name.
Something ordered by the emperor.
Pulling up the corners of his clothes and stepping into the palace, Yi Chenxuan felt a cold feeling that was different from the coolness of his body. He subconsciously tightened his collar.
"It's been very hot outside these days, and as you know, I'll have a bad cough when it's hot and stuffy, so I asked them to add more ice bricks in the palace." On the gold-embroidered couch, Emperor Yao was leaning weakly.
, looking at Yi Chenxuan with cloudy eyes.
"The ministers of the previous dynasty will try their best to share the worries of the father. The father should put the dragon body first."
Yaohuang waved his hand and coughed for a while before raising his head with a sigh of relief. His slightly narrowed eyes were dim and dull: "Xuan'er, I sent my general out of the palace to do some things a few days ago, but he never replied.
, do you know what happened?"
"Oh? No wonder I haven't seen General I recently. It turns out that my father sent the palace." Yi Chenxuan said calmly.
"Yes, something happened to Jing'er, and Concubine Jing was missing. I always felt sorry in my heart, so I asked General I to take people to look for Concubine Jing outside the palace. Alas, old people are useless, and many things happen
I can’t see clearly, and I feel powerless to do anything. I’m afraid I won’t survive a few more years before I die…”
This was the first time that Emperor Yao mentioned the son who was neither alive nor dead since the news of Yi Chenjing's death came back. Yi Chenxuan's expression did not change, but he sneered in his heart.
He didn't know where General I was, but he knew very well why General I didn't reply - with the three most powerful killers plus Su Jinyan, it would be extremely difficult for O Suiliang to come back alive, and Concubine Jing would become a threat to him.
Yi Chenjing's trump card, even if Yi Chenjing can overcome many obstacles and return to the imperial capital, can the well-known seventh prince of Dayao, the most filial prince, be able to force his way in at the cost of his biological mother's life?
Concubine Jing, Yun'er, Su Shiyun, this 20-year-old woman whom Emperor Yao has loved so much has some use after all.
"Xuan'er, I don't know when I will pass away. Now that the Northern Expedition is successful, I, Dayao, will unify Zhongzhou. Originally, my wish has been fulfilled, and I should have no regrets. But..." Emperor Yao hesitated for a moment.
After coughing twice, he beckoned Yi Chenxuan to the couch, and put his skinny palms on Yi Chenxuan's shoulders, "Xuan'er, I didn't get the throne with honor. Those who died in vain for this throne are still here.
There are quarrels and quarrels in my mind. I don’t want to see any of my sons fall into such a situation. You must also know about Yu’er and Jin Zhaoyi. This child really has no intention of joining the country, forcing him to
His being the king of a country is of no benefit to anyone, so...so I plan to abolish his position as crown prince and establish a new crown prince."
The well-maintained and slender fingertips trembled without leaving a trace, and finally there was some expression on Yi Chenxuan's face: "Why did my father say this? It is indeed sad that my seventh brother died on the battlefield, and it was also because of this that my father fell ill.
, you will naturally get better after you have this strength. I don’t have to think about the throne. It doesn’t matter if the eldest brother sits or other brothers sit. Whoever the father makes the prince will be assisted by the ministers.
, absolutely no different intentions.”
"Really...that's the best, the best..." An Xin let go of his hand and leaned on the soft cushion. Yaohuang's coughs became louder and louder. The little eunuch saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly called the imperial doctor waiting outside.
Yi Chenxuan took the opportunity to resign and silently exited Emperor Yao's palace.
The Yao He Hall was not far from the palace. Yi Chenxuan did not return to his palace, but bypassed the Yao He Hall and went straight to the imperial study.
Emperor Yao had not been to the Imperial Study Room for a long time due to his chronic illness. After Yi Chenjing went to war, all the affairs of the Imperial Study Room were temporarily handed over to Yi Chenxuan. Every day, civil and military officials came and went and discussed things here. It was time to rest at noon.
At that time, the imperial study room was deserted and extremely quiet. When Yi Chenxuan walked into Si Qinzhai, the figure who had been waiting for a long time turned around in a hurry.
"Why does the emperor want to see you?" Prime Minister Zuo seemed a little scared.
"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing." Yi Chenxuan sat in the chair in front of the case, stared at the desk, and rubbed his forehead lightly with his knuckles, "Father seems to have some doubts about General O's disappearance, but he did not question me directly.
"Later, he said a few words about the position of the prince, to the effect that he wanted to depose the prince and re-establish him."
Prime Minister Zuo breathed a sigh of relief and looked much better: "It's good that he wasn't discovered. It's only a matter of time before the crown prince is re-established. Now that the life or death of the seventh prince is unknown, the one with the most hope is you. I just hope he can win the throne."
Forget, I have contributed to some extent."
Yi Chenxuan sneered in his heart and did not answer. He lowered his head to grind and scribbled on the paper.
Everything in the world is about profit, and everything in the world is about profit. Prime Minister Zuo contacted Heleitang on his behalf to pursue Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige not because he was suitable to be the emperor, but because he had his own purpose. Concubine Jin had been out of favor for many years, and Zuo
The number of supporters of the Prime Minister's faction is getting scarce day by day, far less than that of Crown Princess Yuchi Lianrong's father, the Right Prime Minister. If he wants to stabilize his position, he can only rely on recruiting the people who are most likely to become the Crown Prince as his backers.
There are people being used everywhere, there are false feelings everywhere, and he is reincarnated into the royal family with no choice. How can you blame him for being cruel? Besides, Yi Chenjing and him...
"Are you listening to me?" Yi Chenxuan, who had no idea what Prime Minister Zuo said and was lost in thought, did not respond. He slapped the desk hard, and Prime Minister Zuo became quite angry, "Now the Seventh Prince has a woman named Qiao as his backer.
, it is almost impossible for us to use Qiao Zhaohai's hands to deal with him. Once he returns to the imperial capital to meet the emperor, your and my activities will definitely be exposed. The situation forces us to prepare for the worst in advance. "
The corner of his lips moved to provoke a sinister sneer. Yi Chenxuan picked up the pen and made large ink marks on the paper, with a cold light in his eyes: "What are you afraid of? With Concubine Jing in hand, Yi Chenjing does not dare to move around. He wants Concubine Jing to live.
, he had to die; if he was willing to trade Concubine Jing's life for his own future, his father would definitely hate him to the core - for more than twenty years, he thought that Concubine Jing, who had been relegated to the cold palace, was not favored, who would have thought that his father would
His whole life has been tied to an abandoned concubine? If Yi Chenjing dares to make a choice that is unfavorable to the concubine Jing, let alone the throne, it will be a question of whether he can save his life."
"I really don't understand where your confidence comes from. Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing, you always say that Concubine Jing is the key, but now I don't even see Concubine Jing's shadow! Fifth Prince, don't blame me for not reminding you, in
The person protecting Concubine Jing is Ou Suiliang. Putting aside whether your subordinate is loyal or not, can he really snatch someone away from the first general of the Yao Kingdom? Don't end up losing your wife and losing your troops in the end.
Your life and mine are at stake!"
Yi Chenxuan did not refute, his contemptuous smile was hidden behind the tea cup he held up.
In terms of kung fu, is there anyone else in the palace who can beat Su Jinyan besides Lianchenxuan Zhanting? Those are his confidants who he spent countless efforts and gold and silver to train. Ou Suiliang is nothing but a loser in front of Su Jinyan.
As for Su Jinyan's loyalty...there is no need to worry about other matters, but there is no need to worry about matters involving Yi Chenjing.
Putting down the tea cup, the slightly cool liquid rolled down the throat and into the abdomen, refreshing and refreshing.
"One month, Jinyan only has one month." Yi Chenxuan shook his finger and looked out the window at the bright sunlight. It was hard to guess whether the light in his eyes was good or evil. "If he doesn't bring Concubine Jing back within one month, what will be waiting for him?
As a result, he knows it all too well."
The muscles and bones are in severe pain, the intestines are pierced and the belly is rotten, every meridians are running wildly and retrograde, and it is sore and itchy like thousands of insects gnawing at the bones. I can neither survive nor die.
After so many years, that foreign boy with stunning appearance, stubborn pride, has forgotten what integrity is and what dignity is, so how could he disobey him? Those who belong to him will never allow betrayal, otherwise...
That is life is worse than death.
The quiet town is filled with flying catkins, which are endemic to distant countries. A literary writer once said that seeing these white "summer snows" makes you feel like you have returned to your hometown.
Yi Chenjing didn't feel much about these flying catkins, but Bai Qige hated them so much. During the day, she had to endure the white catkins all over her body when she wanted to ride on her horse.
Half a step into the room, Yi Chenjing, who was irritated by the heat, sat outside alone.
After Qiao Qingxu arrived, all actions were taken over by this world-famous heroine. No one was allowed to have any objections. The slightest objection was bound to be scolded. If the objection was raised by Zhan Ting, two additional points would be added.
A roll of the eyes and a punch that was neither light nor heavy. A woman's thoughts are always difficult to guess. When Yi Chenjing learned about Qiao Qingxu's persistence towards Zhan Ting, she was both emotional and worried. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that if the two really got married,
I'm afraid there will be no good days after Zhan Ting.
Looking at the darkening sky, she was slightly lost in thought. Suddenly, someone handed her a glazed wine bottle. It was thin and exquisite, and it was priceless. Yi Chenjing frowned, raised his hand and pushed the wine bottle away, but still didn't say a word.
Say more.
"How can a man not like drinking? This is the best wine in Dihuazhuang. There is only a small jar in total. Since His Highness doesn't drink it, I'll give it to Miss Bai." The white face is different from the skin color of Dayao's race.
The smile on his face was light, and Ning Xi was drunk and shook the wine bottle, which he stretched further forward.
Yi Chenjing hesitated for a moment and took the wine bottle. He played with it for a while and drank it in one sip. The spicy but sweet wine overflowed with a strong aroma and left a fragrance on his lips and teeth.
"That's right, a man must have wine and a beautiful woman to live a handsome life."
"What kind of man is he who can only have fun?" Yi Chenjing handed back the wine glass with an expressionless face. Yi Chenjing resisted the burning in his stomach and stood against the wall. In fact, he had always been concerned that he was not a good drinker. He often saw Ning Xizui treating the wine as water.
As soon as he drank the cup, he felt envious and envious. He wished that he could be the one who could happily drink with Bai Qige without getting drunk, instead of the alien trader in front of him who was always smiling and didn't know what he was planning.
The aroma of wine could not conceal the smell of jealousy. Ning Xi's drunken eyes were as clear as water, and her eyes were clear: "His Highness is always so guarded against Ning. It's really heartbreaking. After all, we are friends who have experienced life and death together. Why should we be stingy with a smile?"
Without thinking, Yi Chenjing blurted out: "Whenever you stop clinging to Qi Ge, I will smile at you."
"The price of Bojun's smile is too high. Money cannot buy a beautiful smile. Your Highness's smile may not be enough to buy from hundreds of beautiful women combined."
I always feel like something is wrong...
Yi Chenjing pondered for a moment and suddenly realized that money can't buy it. Isn't this saying that he is being ridiculous?!
After drinking a glass of wine, Ning Xizui laughed heartily: "There is no need to untie the sword. Your Highness just smiled and continued to drink with Ning. When you are happy in life, you must have fun, and when you are unhappy, you need to have someone with whom you can be honest and talk to you while drinking.
