"It seems that I won't accompany you on weekdays." Lu Zhiyao said helplessly, catching Lin Yinan's body and hugging him.
After the two of them sat on the soft couch in silence for a while, Lin Yinan sat up straight. Looking pitifully at Lu Zhiyao's cheeks that were slightly flushed by the wind, he said softly: "Come back and take Mr. He into the palace. By the way.
Get some things. It’s getting late, you rest, don’t wait for me.”
Lin Yinan came back in a hurry and left in a hurry. Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, but she knew that Lin Yinan must feel uncomfortable.
Lin Yinan probably hates the emperor just like Lu Zhiyao. But when you find that the person you have always hated in your heart is no longer there, and there is no longer any reason or opportunity for you to continue to hate, you feel empty in your heart.
It's hard for people to accept it all at once.
There is no airtight wall in the world. One day passed, and the news of the emperor's death was still spread to the ears of the people. At this time, it was also time for the prince to ascend the throne.
Lin Yunlong's death made many people suspicious. More than one minister asked, why did the emperor die? Was he murdered by someone?
Although no one was mentioned in this question, everyone knew that they suspected Lin Yixiang.
Lin Yixiang rose to power in an unexpected way and at an unexpected speed. He killed General Nangong and the prince. His ruthlessness was evident. So it is not impossible to kill the emperor now.
The answer given by the imperial doctor was very consistent. There was nothing wrong with the emperor's body and he died of natural causes.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Lin Yixiang had no reaction. He had already gotten what he deserved, so how could he care so much?
Just when everyone thought that Lin Yixiang had already secured the throne, someone suddenly stood up and said these words.
"The emperor summoned some of us a few days ago and told us something very important."
After being silent for a long time, Chen Qi stood in front of the ministers and said in a serious tone: "Since the death of the fourth prince, the emperor has been thinking about who to pass the throne to. Finally, he finally made a decision."
"Didn't the Emperor appoint Prince Luo as the crown prince a long time ago? What do you mean by this?"
As soon as Chen Qi said his words, someone immediately made an unhappy sound. And this person was naturally next to Lin Yixiang.
Chen Qi and the others were close to the emperor and had never participated in the fight between the crown prince and the eighth prince and others. They were bachelors and had no real power, but they were good at helping the emperor handle political affairs and had always been with the emperor.
Very close. So if they stand out at this time, it must be unsettling.
"Old minister, I don't mean anything. I'm just sending a message to everyone for the emperor. The emperor has already written a will, which is in the main hall. Who should own the throne has been decided a long time ago. Now that things have happened, it's time for us big guys to go and see it.
Watched it."
After Chen Qi finished speaking, the ministers couldn't help but talk about it. Lin Yunlong was a person who planned things in advance. With so many accidents happening recently, it was not too much for him to write the edict in advance.
Lin Yixiang's expression changed slightly, but he still pretended to smile indifferently and followed everyone towards the main hall.
Arriving at the palace where ministers usually go to court in the morning, everyone stood there waiting.
According to what Lin Yunlong said before, Chen Qi found the posthumous edict under the cushion of the dragon chair, which surprised the ministers that such an important thing was actually placed there.
Chen Qi opened the edict in front of everyone, but after a few glances, he stayed there, motionless.
"What's wrong?!" someone asked anxiously.
Chen Qi glanced at the person who spoke, then swept his eyes over Lin Yixiang and Lin Yinan, and then slowly read out the words written on the edict one by one.
People's hearts were in their throats, wondering whether the emperor's final choice was what they thought.
When Chen Qi said the last name, their expectations turned into doubts.
Lin Yinan, how is this possible?!
When Lin Yixiang heard those three words that were not his own name, he quickly clenched his fists and turned to look at the people around him.
Lin Yinan seemed to have heard nothing, standing there with an indifferent expression, accepting everyone's gaze. There was no joy or sadness, he was just there quietly, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
"Impossible! This edict is fake!"
There were more and more doubts, but they fell silent again after looking at what Chen Qi was holding.
This is the Emperor's handwriting, and everyone knows it in their hearts. However, the doubts that should be there still exist.
People looked at each other, not knowing what to say at this time. But at this moment, Liu Lei appeared in front of them and brought them another news.
"Your Majesty has always been careful, and he had already guessed that the ministers would be suspicious of this edict, so he wrote two copies, one is kept here, and the other is given to me, the old slave." Liu Lei is Lin Yunlong's most trusted confidant.
, this is something everyone knows.
Liu Lei's words gave Lin Yixiang another glimmer of hope. He looked at Lin Yinan without leaving any trace, and found that Lin Yinan was looking at Liu Lei intently, as if thinking about something.
With trembling hands, Liu Lei took out what Lin Yunlong gave him from his arms, opened the envelope, and read out the words written on it.
The result is the same. The person who belongs to the throne is none other than the controversial eighth prince, Lin Yinan.
The two edicts were written in this way, and the ministers had no reason to continue the quarrel. There was a brief silence, and then they all knelt down and acknowledged Lin Yinan's new identity. Only one person stood there for a long time, without speaking or bending his knees.
Didn't leave either.
Lin Yixiang, he did not believe that this ending was true. He had suspected when Chen Qi read out the will just now that the edict might have been forged by Lin Yinan, and Lin Yunlong also died at the hands of Lin Yinan. But the one in Liu Lei's hands
How to explain it? Even if everyone would betray Lin Yunlong, Liu Lei would never. Could it be that the person Lin Yunlong had in mind from the beginning was Lin Yinan?!
The new emperor ascended the throne, not the previously well-known Crown Prince Luo, but the eighth prince who had always been unfathomable. Such a dramatic change made people who were deeply saddened inevitably talk about it in secret, and many versions of rumors spread among the people.
Nangong Nuoer burst into laughter when she heard that Lin Yinan became the emperor, retribution, this is retribution! Lin Yixiang worked so hard, but in the end it was just paving the way for Lin Yinan!
Nangong Nuoer waited and waited, and finally got Lin Yixiang back.
Lin Yixiang, who was defeated at the last step, remained silent all day. He looked at Nangong Nuo'er with a smile on his face and knew what she wanted to say without having to listen.
Lin Yixiang walked past her and heard Nangong Nuoer's ridicule as he expected.
The anger that had accumulated for a day finally broke out under Nangong Nuo'er's ridicule. Lin Yixiang in anger was like a wild beast that had lost its mind, which made Nangong Nuo'er a little scared.
"Get away, I'm not in the mood to talk to you now."
Lin Yixiang stepped on Nangong Nuoer's feet, lowered his head, and looked at her with disdainful eyes and said.
Lin Yixiang locked himself in the room, and Nangong Nuoer still laughed after getting up from the ground. The more frustrated Lin Yixiang was at this time, the happier she became. He brought this on himself, and no one can blame him!
In the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, when Wan Yue and other servants heard that someone in the palace had brought news that the Eighth Prince had succeeded to the throne, they were all ecstatic. They ran all the way to Lu Zhiyao, out of breath, holding the
The news was told to her. Lu Zhiyao looked at Wan Yue and the others panting heavily and couldn't hide their smiles. He was not as happy as they imagined.
"If you smile anymore, your mouth will become crooked." Lu Zhiyao stood up and said to several people: "Stop shouting. The late emperor just passed away, and so many eyes are staring at this place. The Eight Emperors Mansion is different from before, everyone is restrained.
some."
Lin Yinan was happy to become the emperor, but Lu Zhiyao was more worried. How could that seat be so easy to sit in? Besides, she had not forgotten why Lin Yinan wanted to fight for the throne. He was doing it for her.
The poison in Lin Yinan's body is not clear for a day. No matter how much power or money he has, Lu Zhiyao will not feel at ease. She is seeking revenge bit by bit. What she longs for is that when everything calms down, he can still be safe.
By her side.
Wanyue and the others nodded repeatedly and became silent, but their smiles still did not disappear.
Lu Zhiyao let them all go out, leaving only Yudie beside him.
Yudie saw Lu Zhiyao frowning slightly and automatically pressed her button. Lu Zhiyao closed his eyes comfortably and slowly began to talk to Yudie.
"Master, do you still remember what your servant said on the big day?"
"Which sentence are you referring to?"
"My slave said that the Eighth Prince will not lose you, and the facts prove that what I said is right." Yudie's lips slightly raised, and she said faintly: "Although I don't know what the master is worried about, but with the Eighth Prince here, it seems that he is right."
Nothing is difficult anymore. You are about to enter the palace, and you will definitely not be as comfortable as you are in the house from now on. If the master has something on your mind, just talk to the slave. Although the slave has no ability, she can still help you solve it.
To relieve boredom."
"I chose you and Wanyue because I had good judgment." Lu Zhiyao slowly responded to her words, "The palace is not easy to enter. Just like you said, it is definitely not as comfortable there as the Eight Emperors Palace. And
, it’s not my palace alone. Yudie, you, Wan Yue and Aunt Chang have been with me for so long. If you don’t want to go in the palace, just tell me directly. I won’t force you and I won’t treat you badly.
.”
"Master, what are you saying?" Yudie stopped moving and knelt in front of Lu Zhiyao. As soon as Lu Zhiyao opened his eyes, he saw her anxious face. "Without master, there would be no life."
Today in Yu Die Wanyue, my sister’s life was saved by the master. Our family has long recognized you as the master. We don’t want to go anywhere else. Wherever the master is, we will be there, no matter where it is.
We will all follow the master."
"Okay, I know you have a sweet mouth, so get up."
Everyone likes to hear good words, and Lu Zhiyao is no exception. Smiling faintly, she leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes.
"Keep pressing the button for me. I shouldn't see him again in the next few days. Let's do what we want to do. When it gets dark, I will take you and Wanyue out for a walk to see how wonderful this capital city is.
Scenery, from now on I can only see the flowers and plants in the palace."
Lu Zhiyao's head was groggy, and he gradually fell asleep under Yudie's massage. Yudie did not dare to wake her up, so he had to cover her with a piece of clothing and then stepped out lightly.
