Chapter 673: This king is just arranging the funeral
Most of the ministers thought that Ximen Jingxuan was accusing Ximen Hen of the "important matter" of drunkenly knocking out Hua Cong, but Gu Qingcheng heard the deeper meaning.
I have long suspected that this Wuhen Master is not simple, especially after hearing the news that the guards pursued the assassin and chased him to Wutong Garden. How could he catch up to Wutong Garden in the first place?
"Yes, my nephew went to find Mu Ran. She had some trouble getting medicine for Lin Xiner." Ximen Hen's voice was low and he only spoke for Ximen Jingxuan.
He knew that Leng Muran left Sunset Valley to get medicine for Lin Xiner. When he returned to the city, he was afraid that Leng Muran would accidentally reveal the secret of Sunset Valley. He also sent people to look for Leng Muran, but he couldn't find her.
Later, he thought that Leng Muran must have met Xia Yubing who jumped off Sunset Cliff.
After all, she wasn't someone he cared about. When he met Xia Yubing later, he saw that she didn't seem to have mastered the secrets of Sunset Valley, and later had another fight, so he didn't bother to think about Leng Muran's whereabouts.
"So you're going into business again?" Ximen Jingxuan immediately linked Ximen Hen's search for Leng Muran to Xia Yubing.
Although the palace is not small, and there are many nooks and crannies, so many people have been deployed to search closely for so long, but no clues about the seriously injured Xia Yubing have been found. If no one helped her, Ximen Jingxuan would not believe it.
The biggest suspect of the person who could help Xia Yubing was the second prince, who was looked down upon by everyone else.
Being able to rescue Ximen Yin from his hands, Ximen Jingxuan knew how capable Ximen Hen was.
"My nephew is not capable of that." Ximen Hen knew what Ximen Jingxuan was thinking, but he would never admit it himself.
Moreover, even if Ximen Jingxuan goes to Wutong Garden to search for people at this time, he is not afraid.
Of course, it wasn't that he hid Xia Yubing very well. No matter how big the place was, Prince Xuan would dig it all over. The people in Prince Xuan's palace were not as easy to fool as the guards in the palace.
Ximen Hen was not afraid because he really didn't know where Xia Yubing had gone at this time.
He went to find Leng Muran in the woods beside the Sunset River and sent her back to Sunset Valley. Then he took out the hidden arrow that shot Xia Yubing that he picked up when leaving the palace, and asked Leng Muran to prepare the antidote.
The herbs are very complete, and the poison on the arrow is not a strange poison, so it is easy to make an antidote.
It was already dawn when Ximen Hen returned to the palace with the antidote.
Not wanting to return to Wutong Garden, Zhao Rong told him that Xia Yubing had left. Although Xia Yubing was injured, she was still better than Zhao Rong and Zhiqi. If she wanted to leave, there was nothing they could do to stop her.
But, everyone in the palace is trying to catch her, where else can she hide?
Zhao Rong said that Xia Yubing left a message saying that she did not want to implicate her nephew and hoped that he could live well in the palace and that all the hatred was related to her alone.
Since Xia Yubing left, Ximen Hen couldn't be found all at once, so he tidied up a little and came to the Showa Hall.
In such an important matter, he, the second prince, had to show up.
"I hope you haven't." Ximen Jingxuan said.
Ximen Hen wanted to save Ximen Yin, and it was conceivable that there was some reason between the two of them, but Ximen Hen went to save Xia Yubing, who seemed to be out of reach, and Ximen Jingxuan was confused for a moment.
"Absolutely not." Ximen Hen assured.
He really didn't know Xia Yubing's whereabouts, and he answered very calmly.
"Stand aside first, I will announce something." Ximen Jingxuan did not embarrass Ximen Hen any more.
Ximen Hen retreated obediently and stood beside the prime minister.
"What do you mean, ministers, do you want me to take charge of the matter?" Ximen Jingxuan looked at the whole hall with arrogance.
No one dares to say no, and no one will say no.
Everyone knows that a promising person is needed to step forward at this time, and the most suitable person is Prince Xuan. Prince Xuan has intervened in many affairs of the emperor before, and the Qingyuan Dynasty has been restoring war little by little with the support of Prince Xuan.
Post-vital.
In terms of ability, Prince Xuan has it, and in terms of qualifications, Prince Xuan is also a member of the Ximen family. It is not uncommon for elder brother to succeed to younger brother.
"I would like to obey the prince's orders."
The ministers paid homage to Ximen Jingxuan. Although they were not the emperor, they received the courtesy of the emperor.
Ximen Che walked silently behind Ximen Jingxuan and stood side by side with Ximen Hen.
These two princes had already planned to hand over their father's empire to their uncle's hands.
It's best to let the old and new change naturally.
As long as Prince Xuan became emperor, the prince would also lose the honor of being a prince. Ximenche's attitude made Gu Qingcheng take a high look.
"Okay." Ximen Jingxuan scanned the audience.
Behind him is the dragon throne, but he is not even close to it.
"The emperor left suddenly, so I will make arrangements for his funeral." Ximen Jingxuan no longer refused.
"Long live my emperor..."
Mr. Hu plans to take the lead in kowtowing.
Ximen Jingxuan waved his hand and stopped what Mr. Hu had just said.
"Master Hu has misunderstood. I just want to arrange the funeral arrangements for my brother." Ximen Jingxuan declared.
The ministers were puzzled. Isn't the most important thing in this matter just to sit in that seat?
At this time, Lin Bo could no longer think that Prince Xuan was pretending. At this point, there was no need to pretend anymore.
What's more, even if Ximen Jingxuan wants that position, with a wave of his hand, everyone inside and outside the palace is his, how can he allow others to say no?
Even if Lin Bo had some ability to compete with King Xuan before, he has been away from the capital for so long and is already dead in the eyes of everyone. The troops who obeyed him are in northern Xinjiang. The capital only has these five thousand soldiers and horses.
If you dare to go head-to-head with Ximen Jingxuan, you will lose.
In Sunset Ridge, he insisted on the final bottom line and did not help Xia Yubing. At this time, he would not let those five thousand people die in vain again.
Suddenly, Lin Bo no longer wanted to compete with Ximen Jingxuan. No matter what, he was still a subject subordinate to the Ximen family. His highest honor was to be the pillar of the court, not to become a traitor described by historians.
It was only through his hard work that the Lin family reached its current heights. He could not let the glory of the Lin family collapse. He had always been careful to maintain the hard-won reputation of the Lin family. This was very difficult for a family that had no background and had risen step by step.
It's the thing that matters most.
Therefore, due to the influence of the old prime minister of the Yao family in the court and the late emperor's attitude towards the Xia family, he did not dare to mention it to anyone even though he knew that Xia Yubing and the Xia family were murdered, but secretly treated the eldest lady Yao Qingmei.
The black hand vents his anger.
In fact, he is very similar to Ximen Jinglie in this regard, except that he avenged Xia Yubing a little more, and in order to show his courage as a general who protects the country, he worked hard in Northern Xinjiang for the formidable power.
What is preserved is the country left by the late emperor.
Because of this, he didn't help Xia Yubing in Sunset Ridge, and he still couldn't destroy the Lin family for the sake of his true love.
