Lu Lian squinted her eyes and thought deeply. Seeing that Yan Xiange had nothing to say, she waved her hand and let him go.
He may have doubts about Ji Yue, but he has never had the slightest doubt about Yan Xiange, the puppet who has been with him for seventeen years.
If he had the intention to defect, he would not turn into Mei and go looking for Hua Xi.
"Master National Preceptor, the royal family of Fengxi Kingdom has sent an envoy to see you." A priestess suddenly ran in and said.
"What's the matter?" Lu Lian asked half-heartedly. He had no patience for Feng Xiguo.
The position of national master is just a cover.
"It's an emergency. It is said that the Emperor of Fengxi Kingdom is about to die!" the sacrificial girl said with her head lowered.
Only then did Lu Lian become somewhat interested. If the old emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, there would be another turmoil.
But how will it evolve?
"Let's go out and take a look." Lu Lian stood up and went out.
While Hua Xi was in the side hall, he suddenly heard someone riding a fast horse galloping towards him in the middle of the night.
Curious for a moment, she walked to the window and took a look. It seemed that they were cavalry, people from the palace?
"By the order of the Emperor, I ask to see the Imperial Master!" The man raised the token in his hand and shouted loudly.
People sent by the emperor? Isn’t the emperor already terminally ill? How can he still have the strength to send people to deliver orders?
Something was fishy. When Hua Xi saw the guard opening the door to let people in, he also walked out, ready to see what happened.
In the middle hall, the messenger sent by the emperor waited anxiously for a long time before Lu Lian arrived late.
As soon as he saw the national preceptor who was wearing a green robe, who symbolized the divine king in the human world and was the only one who could communicate with heaven, the envoy knelt down heavily.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Preceptor, the matter is urgent. The Emperor is unconscious and unable to take charge. Please make the decision on your behalf, Your Majesty the Imperial Preceptor!"
The messenger presented a secret edict with both hands, and the priestess quickly took it over and held it in both hands for Lu Lian to read.
Lu Lian opened the secret edict and frowned when she saw the words written on it.
"What's going on?" he asked coldly.
From Hua Xi's perspective, it was impossible to see what was written in the secret order, but looking at Lu Lian's expression, something seemed wrong!
What exactly was written?
"Master Huiguo, in fact, since the conspiracy of the Queen of the Yuan Dynasty and King Ping Nan was exposed two years ago, the emperor has had a grudge against the prince and intends to establish someone else. However, at that time, the prime minister Shen Huaixu vouched for the prince and asked the emperor to
The doubts were temporarily dispelled.
However, in the past two years, the emperor's health has been getting worse day by day, and the prince seems to have no interest in government affairs and is focused on practicing Buddhism, while the power has fallen into the hands of the prime minister!"
The messenger said, his body was trembling. Now in Fengxi Kingdom, Prime Minister Shen Huaixu can be said to cover the sky with one hand. I wonder if he has placed human hands in the temple.
If what happened today is revealed, he will definitely die!
"Since the prime minister also supports the prince, why not?" Lu Lian asked calmly.
"Your Excellency, the Imperial Preceptor, does not know. The prince does not care about government affairs, but Shen Huaixu is very ambitious. He plans to marry his sister to the prince and become the uncle of the country, and his relatives will be involved in politics. Shen Huaixu will definitely be another ordinary person in the future.
King Nan!"
"Then why does the emperor want to kill the prince?" The secret decree in Lu Lian's hand hung down, and three words were written messily on it in black ink.
Kill the prince!
Below is the emperor's personal seal, which he issued in a hurry when he was critically ill!
Hua Xi was shocked when she saw those three words!
Tiger poison cannot eat its children, and the emperor actually wanted to kill his own son!
