"Muren... Muren..." Emperor Yonghua lay on the bed, opened his dry mouth, and called softly.
Ni Juzheng was standing by with his bow. Hearing the call, he couldn't help but wipe his sleeves and wipe his tears, "Your Majesty, veteran... How dare I say that!" Xia Muyang was the favorite prince of Emperor Yonghua. If he heard this bad news, , I guarantee that nothing bad will happen. Therefore, although Emperor Yonghua had woken up more than a dozen times in the past few days, Ni Juzheng had kept the news of King Zhi's death from him.
"Muren...Muren..."
"Old Prince, His Royal Highness's coffin has just entered the palace!" Lou Gaoyu, the chief eunuch of the internal affairs, came up to report. King Duan had already given him an order to inform him once Xia Muren's coffin entered the palace.
King Duan stood up from his seat, walked out with his staff, and sighed: "Oh, let's go and see Muren off for the last time!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" A little eunuch hurried over, shouting all the way. As soon as he entered the imperial study room, he knelt down on the ground and exhaled heavily.
"Useless things, what will happen to them! Just tell me if you have anything to say!" King Duan was already in a bad mood. Seeing the little eunuch shouting loudly all the way, but now he couldn't breathe, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust. Feeling this, he hit the ground with his stick and reprimanded him.
The little eunuch raised his head with his hands on the ground, then quickly lowered his head, his hands and feet were shaking slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "This slave is out of control! This slave is out of his mind!"
"What's going on? Report it to the prince!" The old and young eunuchs in the internal affairs room were all under the supervision of Lou Gaoyu. Seeing that the young eunuch was a little panicked, he immediately gave a warning.
"Your Majesty, there is someone from Anxian County. He is a centurion from the military camp in Jinzhou. He said... that he was ordered to come to the capital to report the funeral." The little eunuch swallowed his saliva, collected his thoughts, and reported in a low voice.
give obituary notice? Why another funeral? King Duan suddenly felt a splitting headache. These days, the bad news that came one after another made him feel pain and worry. This pain and suffering was actually worse than when he was assassinated and disabled, far away from the throne.
But now, he didn't have time to feel sad, pain, hurt, or worry. He was more surprised and doubtful!
Conspiracy, this is a huge conspiracy!
The three most important princes of Dahua were murdered one after another within half a month. This is a huge conspiracy!
"The thieves want to destroy me, Dahua!" King Duan felt a chill running down his spine, but suddenly he woke up, "The thieves want to destroy me, Dahua!"
"Mu Chao..." Prince Duan closed his eyes, his yellow and white beard trembling slightly, and lamented, "Let's go to Prince Yi's Mansion first to see Muren off for the last time!"
... ...
Xia Muyan was very excited. What happened these days made him very excited. Thinking about the years of preparation and years of forbearance, he was now only one step away from the supreme position. He was really excited.
Although Prince Yun's mansion was surrounded and his whole family was under house arrest and unable to leave home, he was not worried at all. "Now that the two kings are dead, King Jaw will most likely not survive. How can this not be a big deal?" What a good thing! Even if my father knew that I was responsible for the deaths of the three of them, what could he do? Now he only has me as his direct prince. Haha, is it possible that he has to pass the throne to Chenghuan and Chenghuan? Hyun? Humph, even if my father dares to pass it on, do they dare to accept it? Can they accept it!"
"Haha... Your Majesty, I just received good news!" He Fu walked forward with a smile, his steps light as if there was wind.
"Oh, let me guess." Xia Muyan turned around from the stone bench and said with a smile, "Is there news from An Xian? If Zhao Qianming didn't delay, the news should have come by now."
He Fukai was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "It turns out that the prince has already guessed it. Zhao Qianming's people have just come to report, and the matter has been settled. He has led his troops back to Shatuo. I hope the prince can keep his promise." He Fukaiyuan He thought he knew Xia Muyan well, but recently he discovered that what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.
When did Xia Muyan get in touch with Zhao Qianming? he does not know.
What is the agreement between the two of them? He doesn't even know.
He didn't know that Xia Muyan had hidden so much power before, and he could hardly imagine that what was happening now was true: in half a month, the three kings all died because of his plan.
"My lord, you have hidden it so deeply! I have been following you all this time, but you didn't know anything about it..." He Fukai thought in disbelief, "I hope that in the future, you can still think of me for my good deeds over the years."
"Zhao Qianming is not very smart, and he has an army of fifty thousand in his hands. This kind of person is naturally the best chess piece." Xia Muyan stood up from the stone bench, smiled and said, "You will answer him later, I agree Things will take care of themselves, let him stay in Shatuo with peace of mind. When this king ascends the throne, I will find a reason to recruit him back. At that time, he will be the fifth king with a different surname in Dahua!"
This was the agreement between the two: Zhao Qianming killed Xia Muchao to help Xia Muyan clear the obstacles to ascending the throne. Once Xia Muyan ascended the throne, he would try to recruit Zhao Qianming back to Dahua and make him a king with a different surname. His fiefdom would be his hometown in Beijun.
Now, what Zhao Qianming promised has been accomplished. He also led his army to surrender to Shatuo and hid in another country to save his life.
"Yes, Your Majesty! I'll do it right away!" He Fukai bowed and held his hand. Saying that, he was about to retreat.
"Reopen!" Unexpectedly, Xia Muyan called him again at this time.
He Fukai had already turned around. Hearing the call, he couldn't help but be startled. He turned back and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you have any more instructions?"
Xia Muyan took a few steps to He Fukai's side, put his hand on his left shoulder, and said to him sternly: "You must be frightened by these things that have happened recently. However, how can you be the same as them? Fukai, there are many secret things that I don't want to do." You know, it's not that I don't trust you, but that I don't want you to be in danger! Born in the royal family, siblings are already estranged, and if I want to ascend the throne, they have to get rid of them. This is fate! What do you do to Prince Yun's Mansion? Don’t you know? You are not my chess piece, and I don’t want you to be my chess piece! Do you understand?”
"Pfft!" He Fukai suddenly knelt down on his knees and cried: "Your Majesty's kindness, Fukai will never dare or forget it!"
... ...
"The third day of July is ten days away. I wonder if my father can come back before this day!" Xia Chengyi held his chin and sighed, with a look of sorrow on his face.
The third day of July is a special day for her.
This year's third day of July is even more special for her than in previous years.
"Yiyi, what happened on the third day of July? Is it an important day?" Mei Yuanchen came over and asked.
Xia Chengyi glared at him, muttered and cursed: "What day it is is none of your business!"
Seeing her sudden and unreasonable anger, Mei Yuanchen was a little confused. He hurriedly settled down to think about it. After a long while, he yelled "Ah", then he patted his forehead heavily and cursed: "I How stupid! I am extremely stupid!" He held her hands again and said softly: "Yiyi, I have been here for two years and I have never celebrated your birthday. I will spend a lot of time with you this year. Pass!"
Seeing that her husband finally got the idea, Xia Chengyi started to smile, then suddenly suppressed his smile, feigning anger and said: "You have never been interested in me. We have already made an engagement, and you don't even know my birthday!" , reached out and pinched his waist to relieve his anger.
"It's me! I've always been stupid! Don't get angry!" Mei Yuanchen let her pinch her while smiling to please.
Xia Chengyi smiled, reached out and gently rubbed the place where he had just pinched, and asked casually: "If father comes back, Haitang will definitely come back with him, will you be happy?"
