After hearing these words from Bai Han, Huang Wu's heart trembled. He was not afraid of death. For him, life and death had long been out of the question, but when he heard what Bai Han said about his death, it was a bit too scary.
Before he could finish his thoughts, he felt his eyelids sting, and Bai Han's dagger began to slowly and forcefully poke into them.
Huang Wu secretly complained in his heart. Although he was not afraid of death, was it really necessary to suffer so much before death?
But he couldn't betray Jiang Shangpiao. After thinking about it for a while, Huang Wu had an idea.
He shouted hurriedly, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."
Bai Han's heart trembled at this opening. It was obviously the accent of the Earth Kingdom.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I, I'm thirsty. I want to drink some water. Can you please let me speak slowly?"
Bai Han nodded and waved. The guard next to him took a bowl and poured a bowl of water. He handed it to Huang Wu's mouth. Huang Wu opened his mouth and held the bowl. He drank the water with a gulp. Then he flicked his head and pressed the bowl accurately. It fell onto the table next to it without any mistake.
Seeing this scene, Bai Han nodded, let alone this little K's kung fu, it was indeed extraordinary.
It's a pity that he is his enemy, not his friend.
After Huang Wu drank the water, he raised his eyes and looked at Bai Han, "I know, what do you want to ask?"
"I came from the Great Earth Kingdom, and I came here to assassinate your emperor and princess."
After saying that, Huang Wu closed his eyes slightly.
Bai Han felt impatient when he saw that he had started but didn't say anything. He came over with the dagger again, ready to repeat the same trick, but as soon as he stretched out the dagger, Huang Wu suddenly lengthened his body and pounced on his throat accurately. onto Bai Han's dagger.
This move caught Bai Han off guard. He thought Huang Wu had a strong desire to survive, and originally planned to scare him with a dagger, but he didn't expect that Huang Wu actually chose to fight in this way, rushing straight into your hands and dying. .
Bai Han was angry and annoyed. He was angry because Huang Wu was obviously trying to tease him, and he was angry because Huang Wu's death would make it harder for him to find out the truth.
But since Huang Wu said that he came from the Great Earth Kingdom, it was a clue. He quickly returned and reported to Lin, Liu Xiangnan and Fang Zheng.
Hearing that the murderer was dead, Liu Xiangnan also let out a long sigh.
"Oh, this is what fate is, this is what fate is. This is because we were careless. We thought we had captured Duobang and it would be over, but we didn't expect that Jopson was still unwilling to let go and continued to send people over. When will the injustice be repaid? "
At this moment, Chunhua hurriedly walked out of the back room and bowed to Liu Xiangnan and Fang Zheng, "My lords, the princess is awake."
The two of them were overjoyed upon hearing this and hurried inside to see Xiao Jingfeng.
Xiao Jingfeng burst into tears when she saw Fang Zheng and Liu Xiangnan. After all, she was just a young girl, and she had to bear so much all at once, which made her collapse.
"Dear dears, my father..."
After hearing this, Fang Zheng and Liu Xiangnan fell silent at the same time and lowered their heads.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, I looked at Queen Li next to me, who was crying with tears in her eyes. Princess Zhaoning probably understood.
Suddenly, she remembered something and said to Liu Xiangnan and Fang Zheng, "Father once told me that he had an imperial edict, which was hidden behind the plaque at the entrance of Qinzheng Hall. He asked me to wait until he went west to take it out. look!"
"Thank you, my lords. Please work hard and get the imperial edict."
Fang Zheng and Liu Xiangnan looked at each other and bowed, agreeing to walk out together. They summoned Bai Han and dozens of imperial guards to rush to the Qinzheng Palace.
Behind the throne of the Qinzheng Palace, there was a plaque hanging. A guard brought a ladder. Liu Xiangnan grabbed the ladder and walked up step by step. After searching, he found that there was a square box behind the plaque. He took out the square box and saw that it was exactly the same. An imperial edict.
Liu Xiangnan and Fang Zheng returned again with the imperial edict in hand to meet Princess Xiao Jingfeng again.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has sent you an imperial edict. Please take a look at it."
Liu Xiangnan held the imperial edict in both hands and respectfully handed it to Princess Zhaoning.
Princess Zhaoning shook her head slightly, "That's all, you'd better look at it for me."
Liu Xiangnan and Fang Zheng looked at each other.
Fang Zheng also nodded slightly. Princess Zhaoning was now weak and struggling to speak. It might be difficult for her to read the imperial edict.
Xiangnan held the imperial edict in both hands, faced north, knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive Liu Xiangnan for being rude."
After finishing speaking, Liu Xiangnan knelt there and slowly opened the imperial edict with both hands.
But after just one glance at Liu Xiangnan, he froze.
"This this……"
Seeing Liu Xiangnan's appearance, Fang Zheng also felt strange. He came over and took a look inside. It was even very brief, only two sentences.
Xiao An wrote very clearly above that after his death, all the concubines in the harem, except Xiao Jingfeng's biological mother, would be buried with him.
Although this decision is a bit cruel, if you think about it, this decision can minimize the harem's interference in politics and make Xiao Jingfeng's ruling environment more relaxed.
The second sentence surprised everyone even more. Xiao An directly said in the imperial edict that if Xiao Jingfeng's son inherits the throne in the future, he does not need to be named Xiao.
Princess Zhaoning married Chen Xiaobei. If the surname is not Xiao, the child will have to be surnamed Chen. In the future, a man named Chen will become the emperor. If you think about it this way, wouldn't Chen Xiaobei be the supreme emperor?
When he thought of Fang Zheng, his heart skipped a beat. From now on, the throne would have nothing to do with the Xiao family.
But then I thought about it, and it turned out that this was indeed the case, and it really didn’t matter in the future.
Fang Zheng was filled with emotion. The old Xiao family had accumulated here for hundreds of years, so why would they change their surname to Chen in the future?
Alas, things are unpredictable.
But at this time, Liu Xiangnan felt a little bit of joy in his heart.
No matter what, Chen Xiaobei is his son-in-law.
Chen Xiaobei's son becomes emperor, even if he is not the Supreme Emperor, it will be beneficial to the Liu family in the future.
But when I thought about it again, the impact of these two points was too great. Once word spread, I'm afraid it would cause an earthquake-level reaction in Dacang Kingdom.
Looking at the tearful Empress Li next to her, Liu Xiangnan couldn't bear it. Reading out the news on this New Year's Day might be too cruel. Thinking of this, he slowly rolled up the imperial edict.
"Your Royal Highness, the emperor's imperial edicts are all about arrangements for national affairs. You should wait until the officials come back to court after the Chinese New Year before announcing it in public."
This sentence covered everything very well. Xiao Jingfeng had no doubts, and the Queen Li next to her didn't have any objections. Thinking about it, the emperor left such an important edict when he died, saying that it was about the arrangements for national affairs. , this is reasonable.
Putting the imperial edict back into the box and placing it on Xiao Jingfeng's bedside, Liu Xiangnan and Fang Zheng bowed and exited.
After exiting, the two looked at each other and sighed almost simultaneously.
