Qiushi glanced at Huangfuyan who was kneeling on the ground, and read out the second imperial edict loudly: "By the fate of heaven, the emperor decrees that my son Huangfuyan will be crowned prince. I appreciate this!"
It was such a simple imperial edict, but the information revealed in it was so shocking. His father actually named himself the prince, what was going on? Huangfuyan thought about it and asked unconsciously.
Qiushi did not answer, but urged: "The prince please accept the order quickly and set off back to the country as soon as possible. I will tell the prince everything on the way."
"My son, take the edict." Huangfuyan stood up and took the two imperial edicts from Qiushi. A moment ago, he was still a proton prince. At this moment, he not only lifted his status as a proton, but also became the leader of Ning Xi Kingdom.
Prince, this all seems like a dream.
"Your Highness, please follow me and set off immediately." Qiushi said eagerly.
"Set off now?" Huangfuyan asked unconsciously.
"Yes, let's set off immediately. If it's too late, I'm afraid the emperor..." Qiushi suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped talking.
"What's wrong with your father?" Huangfuyan was startled and stepped forward to grab Qiushi's collar, "Quickly tell me, what's wrong with my father?"
Qiushi quickly glanced at Yu Wenhua, who was standing aside and said nothing, and said to Huangfu Yan: "It's nothing, your Majesty just misses His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Qiushi, tell the truth!" Huangfuyan raised his voice, and there was a dignity in his voice that he had to obey.
Qiushi couldn't help but shudder. This was the first time he saw Huangfu Yan like this. He suddenly felt that maybe the new prince was not as unbearable and cowardly as people said.
Sun Jun put his hand on Huangfu Yan's arm and said slowly: "Sir, let's set off first and we'll talk about it on the way."
Huangfuyan suddenly came to his senses and let go of Qiushi's collar, "You wait first, I...the prince will go and clean up first."
Qiushi knelt down and begged: "Your Highness, don't pack up. Please set off immediately."
Behind Qiushi, the envoys from Ning Xi Kingdom also knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please set off immediately."
"Young Master, let's set off." Sun Jun knew Huangfu Yan's thoughts, but judging from the performance of Qiushi and the envoys, the situation in Ning Xi Kingdom was probably not optimistic. The most important thing is that there are no signs at all about these two imperial edicts.
, the young master and I were caught off guard, and we were afraid that things would change again if we got back too late.
"Okay." Huangfu Yan nodded in agreement. He turned around and walked to Yu Wenhua and said, "Your Majesty, my father was so anxious that Yan had to leave in a hurry. Please forgive me!"
Yu Wenhua smiled and said: "The prince has been away from the country for many years, and it is time for him to go back and fulfill his filial piety. It is a joy to congratulate him for returning to his homeland with honor. It is a pity that I was not able to hold a farewell banquet for the prince. It is really a pity."
Huangfu Yan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are very polite. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your care over the years."
"The prince is too polite. I asked Leng Feng to lead the imperial guards to escort you out of the city."
"General Bu Lao Leng sent me off. I said goodbye."
"Yeah, that's fine."
…
After a stick of incense, Huangfuyan was already at the Donghua Gate. He looked back at the majestic Zangyuan Palace, looking past the many palaces and looking in a certain direction. Although he knew that Chu Yueyin would not come to see him off, or even come to see him off at all.
He didn't know that he was about to leave, but he still held on to a glimmer of expectation, hoping that the woman who had been engraved in his heart would suddenly appear in his sight. But...after a moment, he sighed softly, turned around and got into the carriage.
"Let's go." A helpless voice came from the carriage and soon dispersed in the wind.
Under the protection of more than ten guards from the Ning Xi Kingdom, the carriage drove quickly towards the East City Gate. After exiting the East City Gate, it met with two hundred soldiers twenty miles outside the city and then rushed to the Ning Xi Kingdom day and night.
On the way, Huangfuyan finally learned from Qiushi the reason why Huangfu Aofeng hurriedly summoned him back to the country and made him the prince.
It turned out that the former prince Huangfu Bo had the idea of seizing the throne in advance because he sent an assassin to the Zangyuan Kingdom to assassinate Huangfu Yan but failed and was reprimanded by Huangfu Aofeng for brutally killing loyal ministers. He led a thousand soldiers to attack the palace at night
, forcing Huangfu Aofeng to give way to him. Later, when he saw that Huangfu Aofeng was unwilling to abdicate, he had murderous intentions. Fortunately, people sent by Huangfuyan to lurk in the palace rescued him in time, but Huangfu Aofeng was still exploited by Huangfu Bo.
Wounded by the sword.
Because he rebelled in advance, Huangfu Bo's preparations were not sufficient. Huangfu Aofeng quickly gathered his loyal subordinates to fight back fiercely and captured Huangfu Bo and a group of rebels. Huangfu Aofeng, caring about his father and son, only
Huangfu Bo was demoted to a commoner
, drove out of the capital, and hurriedly summoned Huangfu Yan to return home. Unexpectedly, less than an hour after the first imperial edict was issued, Huangfu Aofeng's injury worsened. At the suggestion of Queen Qin Tianjiao, he added an additional imperial edict, appointing Huangfu Yan as his
Prince.
After understanding the whole story, Huangfuyan finally understood why the imperial edict came so suddenly and did not receive any information from Ning Xi's domestic front. It was just because when they received the news, Qiushi had already set off and traveled day and night, almost all the way.
Never stopped to rest.
"Sun Jun, come in." After Huangfuyan asked Qiushi to exit the carriage, he called Sun Jun in.
Sun Jun jumped on the carriage, opened the curtain and got in. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"
Huangfu Yan folded two pieces of paper with freshly written words and put them into two envelopes respectively, sealed them, wrote a few words on the envelopes, and handed them to Sun Jun: "You put these two envelopes
Send the letter to Lianxiang Pavilion and give it to Wan Su. Go and come back quickly!"
Sun Jun took the letter, looked at the name on the envelope, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Young master, do you really want to do this?"
"Go." Huangfuyan waved his hand and leaned against the carriage wall and closed his eyes. He was worried about his father's injury and worried that Chu Yueyin was alone and didn't know who could protect her in the future.
Sun Jun glanced at Huangfu Yan and knew that he had made up his mind, so he had to get off the carriage, jump on a horse, turn around and return to Zangyuan Kingdom, and handed Huangfu Yan's autographed letter to Wan Su.
Three days later, just as Huangfuyan's carriage entered the imperial city of Ningxi, a woman's exclamation suddenly sounded in front of the gate of the Yihexuan.
"What did you say? Prince Huangfu has returned to China?" Chu Yueyin couldn't believe her ears. She stared at the people from Yihexuan Palace kneeling in front of her, feeling confused. After a while, she asked again, "When?
matter?"
The palace man replied cautiously: "Three days ago, at dusk, Jiang Guan's family brought Xiao and several other people over. They said that Prince Huangfu had returned to China according to the order, and ordered the young people to clean the Summer Palace every day and not to touch anything inside.
Don't let people come in at will."
Chu Yueyin asked eagerly: "What about the people who came from Ning Xi Kingdom with Prince Huangfu?"
"They cleaned up overnight and left early the next morning."
Chu Yueyin's footsteps were weak and she took a step back. She was supported by Yinqiao. A wave of heart palpitations hit her, and Chu Yueyin subconsciously covered her heart. Why, why did he leave without saying goodbye? Not only did he not say goodbye in person, but he didn't even say a word.
