royal palace.
Prince's Palace.
In the splendid palace, all the princes gathered together in small groups, discussing the interesting things they had discovered.
I have to say, how can the current emperor survive?
At a glance, there are more than ten adult princes alone.
This does not include those who are ten or eight years old and those who have just learned to walk. If we include them all, there will be at least thirty people.
There are also quite a few princesses on the side. Apart from the few who are married, there are at least twenty people here.
Among them was a pretty girl wearing a pink shawl and a white dress.
Arranged in order, they are... time is limited, let's talk about it later.
Xia Fengzhi, the eldest princess of Daxia, is over thirty years old and has never been married, but she is the most favored princess of the current emperor.
The eldest princess has picturesque features, is dignified and elegant, and is full of temperament.
However, he is actually a bad-tempered person.
"I heard that the Prince of Beiliang went to Baiyun Nunnery?"
A light voice with a hint of chill came, and the hall suddenly fell into silence.
Even the princes and grandsons who were laughing on the side closed their mouths in amusement at this moment.
Xia Yuanyi, the sixth prince of the day, twitched the corner of his mouth and replied bravely: "Sister Hui Huang, that is indeed the case."
"Brother Chen heard that..."
Xia Yuanyi hasn't finished speaking yet.
The eldest princess looked over with cold eyes. With just this look, all the princes trembled in shock, took a few steps back, and betrayed their sixth brother on the spot.
Xia Yuanyi cursed in his heart, but when he saw his eldest sister walking over, he could only force out a smile that was not much better than crying.
Xia Fengzhi raised her jade hand expressionlessly, grabbed her brother's ear, and asked in a stern voice: "I also heard that you withdrew the imperial troops at the city gate and let him out of the city?"
Xia Yuanyi gritted his teeth in pain and said with an aggrieved look: "Eldest sister, even if I don't withdraw my brother's forbidden army, no one can stop him."
"Besides, the Huwei camp in Beiliang will be arriving soon. Isn't my brother afraid that they will have a conflict..."
Xia Yuanyi's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he simply suppressed it.
Xia Fengzhi's eyes narrowed and she said slightly angrily: "He dares!"
"What does Lin Xi think of as my Royal Guards?"
After saying that, Xia Fengyi looked at Xia Yuanqi coldly and said in a deep voice: "Also, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking."
"Don't you just dislike him and want him to make a big mistake?"
"But have you ever thought about it, if that King of Beiliang is not dead, what you do will be a loss to my royal family."
After hearing this, a trace of disinterest flashed in Xia Yuanyi's eyes: "Sister, you are worrying blindly. The old guy was already seriously ill, and now he is seriously injured. Even if he survives, he may not be much better."
"Now is the best time for our royal family to take back the military power of Beiliang. If we miss it..."
"Pa~~~" sounded.
"presumptuous."
Xia Fengzhi frowned slightly and looked at her younger brother with hatred, her delicate body trembled with anger and she was dripping with sweat.
If this kid wasn't from the same mother as her, she wouldn't bother to care whether he was dead or alive.
Meijiao Niang sighed softly, turned around and looked at the others and said, "Okay, the incense has been put on. You all should leave first."
After hearing this, the princes quickly bowed to the portraits of the previous emperors and slowly retreated outside.
After everyone left, Xia Fengzhi said with a cold face: "What are you thinking about?"
"If this matter is as simple as you think, will Father turn a blind eye?"
Xia Fengzhi flicked her sleeves and said in a cold voice: "Take back the military power of Beiliang?"
"The Northern Liang Army has always only recognized Lin Ziwang Banner. Do you really think that if the old man dies, our royal family will reap the benefits?"
Xia Yuanyi frowned deeply after hearing this, with a puzzled look on his face: "Sister, by then both the Lin family and his son will be dead, and he will be in Beiliang..."
"Pa~~!" sound.
Another slap resounded throughout the hall.
Xia Fengzhi was panting, gritting her teeth and said: "Nonsense! You idiot!"
"You have to remember this for me!"
"The Lin family will never die."
Speaking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in Mei Jiao Niang's eyes: "Unless the Lin family father and son die together, and they die outside Zhongzhou."
"Otherwise, as long as Beiliang does not rebel, our royal family will definitely ensure that its blessings continue and that it will be prosperous for generations to come."
"Even if the old man dies, Lin Xi will definitely give birth to an heir and live a peaceful life. Do you understand?"
Xia Yuanyi gritted his teeth angrily, his face darkened, and he obviously didn't understand.
Xia Fengzhi's head was buzzing with anger when she saw this, and she almost couldn't help but slap her in the face.
But after thinking about it, Meijiao sighed softly.
"Idiot, no matter whether that old man is dead or alive, as long as Lin Xi dies in the imperial capital, and as long as the Lin family is exterminated, the 300,000 cavalrymen from Beiliang will surely trample the mountains and rivers, staining the imperial capital with blood."
"When the time comes, who can stop those tiger and wolf warriors from Beiliang?"
"Are you Xia Yuanyi?"
"Or the kings of this world?"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yuanyi was stunned like a thunderbolt.
Back hall.
The current emperor slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
It's a pity that she is not a boy.
…
Xia Fengzhi took a deep breath and said with a tired face: "A person's life can be long or short. Some people live for only three to five years, but there are also people who live for a hundred years."
"Remember, before Lin Xi gives birth to an heir, my father will never let anything happen to him, so don't try to trick him again."
Xia Fengzhi glared coldly and said with a cold face: "Also, you can resign from the position of the Forbidden Army yourself."
Speaking of this, Mei Jiao Niang suddenly slowed down her tone, turned around, raised her head with a look of pity, and said softly: "Yuan Yi, listen to my eldest sister, you are not suitable to be the emperor, and you cannot be the emperor."
"The world seems to be stable now, but that's because Lin Zhen is still alive. Those who lost the throne back then did not dare to do anything until he died, for fear of being taken advantage of by him."
"But once he passes away, those people will definitely come to compete for the chair under Father's throne."
"You have to face not only those princes, but also your uncle Wang and all the major families in the world."
As she said that, Xia Fengghi raised her hand to touch the boy in front of her, but for some reason, she pulled back.
"Your uncles are all heroes who have fought with the army since childhood. They have countless elite soldiers and generals."
"Yuanyi, do you think you will be their opponent?"
Xia Yuanyi trembled after hearing this, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
But Xia Fengzhi did not give him a chance to refuse, and said coldly: "Resign all official positions and become a leisurely prince. My eldest sister will find a way to ensure that you have a worry-free life..."
Having said this, Xia Fengyi seemed to be exhausted, waved her jade hand and said, "Okay, you can step back too."
Xia Yuanyi's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he bowed slightly unwillingly: "Sister Huang, my brother has resigned."
Meijiao Niang was speechless after hearing this.
When Xia Yuanyi saw this, he angrily tossed his sleeves and turned to leave.
After a while.
Xia Fengzhi looked outside the hall, closed her eyes slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Here comes, prepare the car, I want to go take a look and see what Lin Xi is going to do."
The little eunuch outside the hall listened and quickly bowed and said: "No."
