Chapter 67: The Mystery of Origin

Late at night in early spring, the moonlight is misty, Hibiscus lives by the pool, and Su Wanxi is dressed in red and is very enchanting.

"How's it going?" Shen Mingxu appeared behind Su Wanxi out of nowhere.

Su Wanxi had already seen the surprise, slowly turned around, and said with a smile: "Don't worry." The emperor is no longer good. “

Shen Mingxu stood with his hands in his hands, and for the first time he saw Su Wanxi did not move his hands and feet, but with a solemn face.

"What's wrong, are you worried?" Su Wanxi raised her eyebrows and asked, if Shen Mingxu repented at this time, wouldn't his hard work be in vain.

Shen Mingxu frowned: "This king always feels uneasy in his heart. ”

Su Wanxi smiled slightly and comforted: "After all, I am extremely nervous about such an important matter. ”

Shen Mingxu let out a long sigh and hugged Su Wanxi's waist: "Remember, tomorrow you will be in the middle of Fuyuan, and you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

Su Wanxi was stunned: "Why?"

"Wait for this king to come to welcome you again when he sits on the world!" Shen Mingxu couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth when he said about what happened here, perhaps thinking of that beautiful scene.

Su Wanxi looked at Shen Mingxu's appearance and lost her mind slightly, how true is the man in front of her......? In short, it is impossible for anyone to be able to move their own heart again, this heart soaked in cold blood.

"Hmm!" Su Wanxi nodded, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she was a mockery of Shen Mingxu's true feelings, he deserved to be a peach blossom in his life.

"Wanxi. Shen Mingxu called and hugged Su Wanxi tightly in his arms.

"What's wrong?" asked Su Wanxi tentatively.

"If the king of tomorrow fails to come and pick you up, no matter who this country falls into in the end, this king will not let them hurt you. You have to live well, and don't forget me. Shen Mingxu's voice was gentle like a spring breeze for the first time.

Su Wanxi listened attentively, biting her lip and saying nothing.

"Wait for me. Shen Mingxu reluctantly let go of Su Wanxi, and then turned to leave.

Su Wanxi looked at it coldly, and her hands were tightly clasped and hidden in her sleeves. Even though she knew that Shen Mingxu would not be able to come back if she went, she was still unwilling to say another love word to him.

The next day, the sky in the imperial city was dark, and it was about to rain. It was nearly noon, and every inch of the air in the imperial city was filled with the smell of war.

In front of the main gate of Li, Shen Mingxu led his 3,000 elite soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, only to see a firework in the depths of the imperial city, soaring into the sky and exploding on the ground.

Shen Mingxu was wearing gold armor and riding a black horse, and when he saw the signal of Shen Wen's death, he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and gave orders to the thousands of soldiers behind him: "Rush! The first one to go to the Daqing Hall will be rewarded!"

The soldiers were enthusiastic and spurred their horses towards the city gate.

The soldiers defending the city were all Su Ziyou's people, and Shen Mingxu and Su Ziyou had already reached an agreement, so tens of millions of people and horses went straight to Daqing Palace.

In the Ciyuan Palace, the queen was restless, and Father-in-law Zhou rushed in with a roll outside the door.

"The queen mother! The queen mother! Oh no! The emperor is about to die!" Zhou Gonggong knelt in front of the queen in a panic.

"What?!" The queen suddenly stood up from her chair, the emperor couldn't swallow in recent days, presumably the lamp oil had run out, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden!"What about the edict?!"

Gonggong Zhou is the person who the queen has always placed by Shen Wen's side, in order to make Shen Jingyuan's position as the crown prince foolproof.

Father-in-law Zhou sweated like rain and replied: "The edict ...... Concubine Su Guifei fanned the flames in the emperor's ears every day, asking the emperor to change the son of Concubine Li Chen to the crown prince, the emperor is easy to be bewitched by foxes, I am afraid that it will ......"

The queen's eyebrows were angry, how could she give up the country that should be her son. The emperor is no longer able to do it now, and when he swallows his last breath, all the ministers will take out the edict and announce it to the world and support the new lord. As far as Zhou Gonggong knows, no one knows where the edict is hidden now, only waiting for Shen Wen to say it himself before he died.

"This kind of thing must not happen!" the queen looked grim and wanted to go towards the Funing Palace.

"Niangniang! Niangniang! Oh no!" a guard outside the door fell in front of Ciyuan Palace covered in blood.

The queen hurried to hear the sound, and the guards were already dying.

"What's going on?!"

"...... The eldest prince has mutinied, and he has already killed Youwumen!"

The queen was suddenly startled, it seems that she has been negligent! Shen Mingxu spent all day drinking and achieving nothing on weekdays, it was all a pretended illusion, I didn't expect him to secretly organize troops, and now that he learned that the emperor couldn't do it, he wanted to usurp the throne!

"Grandpa Li!" the queen shouted in panic.

"The old slave is here! Don't worry, the old slave is here. ”

"Go, take the phoenix talisman, and dispatch all the troops to the palace to block Shen Mingxu's men!" Prince, quickly call the prince to Daqing Hall to prepare for the coronation!" the queen ordered anxiously.

"What about the Imperial Forest Army?!Why have the rebels arrived at Youwumen?!" the queen asked incredulously.

The guards on the ground were almost lifeless: "Su ...... General Su defected......"

The queen staggered back, and she didn't expect Su Ziyou to join forces with Shen Mingxu to usurp the throne! Among them, Su Wanxi's matter must be indispensable, so it is impossible to know whose name is written on the edict now, Su Ziyou dares to help Shen Mingxu so blatantly, and Shen Mingxu's people and horses go straight into the Daqing Palace, maybe the son of Concubine Lichen is just a pretense, presumably the person Su Wanxi wants to call the emperor to change is Shen Mingxu!

"Let's go, take the people, go to the Funing Palace!" the queen said, and hurriedly headed towards the Funing Palace.

In the Funing Palace, Shen Wen was lying on the bed dying, but there was no one else in the hall to surprise, only the imperial doctor was trying his best to rescue, and the rest of the concubines and ministers were waiting outside the door.

"Queen Mother, the emperor said, now I just want to see you and Concubine Su, go in quickly. At the entrance of the dormitory, the guard guarding the door said to the queen.

The queen's face was ugly, and she went straight inside with four or five little eunuchs behind her, and when she entered, Su Wanxi was sitting on the edge of Shen Wen's bed.

"Sister Queen, you're finally here. Su Wanxi said and quickly got up.

The queen strode to the side of the emperor's bed, looked at Shen Wen as if she was about to die, and then slowly sat down, looked at Shen Wen gently, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is here." ”

Shen Wen tried his best to open his eyes and looked at the queen, his eyes vicissitudes: "Frost ......"

"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, the concubine has always been by your side. The queen whispered.

Shen Wen stared at the queen, and he had some difficulty breathing.

Seeing this, the queen hurriedly shook Shen Wen's hand: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?!"

Shen Wen was speechless, his face was painful.

"Your Majesty, tell the concubines quickly, where is the edict?!" the queen's true nature was exposed, and she hurriedly asked where the edict was.

Shen Wen coughed violently for a while before he was able to recover his breath, but the whole person still looked like he was about to die.

"Your Majesty, tell the concubines quickly, what about the edict?" Seeing that Shen Wen had not yet lost her breath, the queen's tone became gentle again, gentle and urgent.

Shen Wen said weakly: "Why do you want my edict so much?"

The queen pursed her lips, and then said, "Shen Mingxu rebelled and has already raised troops to Youwumen!"

Shen Wen was not surprised when he heard this: "Hmm." He just replied so lightly.

The queen suddenly froze in place, Shen Wen reacted like this, could it be that he had already acquiesced to Shen Mingxu?!

"Your Majesty! Shen Mingxu has rebelled!" the queen raised her voice and looked at Shen Wen in disbelief.

Shen Wen closed his eyes and was silent.

The queen's eyes gradually became ruthless, and she waved at the four people behind her, so the four inconspicuous little eunuchs instantly held Su Wanxi and the other two palace people in the room hostage.

"Your Majesty, tell the concubines quickly, where is the edict?" the queen asked word by word, in order to be foolproof, she had prepared a fake edict for Shen Jingyuan, and in order to make Shen Jingyuan succeed to the throne, she did not hesitate to bear the infamy of the ages.

Shen Wen slowly opened his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"

The queen took a deep breath: "Yes, if you don't tell me......" The queen made a look, and the little eunuch who held Su Wanxi hostage showed her dagger and pressed it against Su Wanxi's snow-white neck.

Shen Wen was nervous, and the old man's eyes showed irrepressible anger.

"Queen, for so many years, I have treated you very well. Shen Wen was heartbroken.

The queen's eyes were cold: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want to be beaten into the cold palace after you die, and you don't want me to be so sad, right? So tell the concubine quickly, where is the edict? As long as you say it, I will let Su Wanxi go." ”

"Your Majesty, don't tell her!" Su Wanxi hurriedly said.

The little eunuch's dagger was clinging to his neck, as if he was about to stab blood in the next moment.

The queen ignored Su Wanxi, but stared at Shen Wen with victory in hand.

"In the second compartment behind the bed. Shen Wen closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

When the queen heard this, she hurriedly went to the back of the bed and found the edict, and the golden edict was held in her hand, and she seemed to hold it to the whole world.

"Queen, open it and take a look. Shen Wen said lightly.

When the queen heard this, she always felt that something was wrong, and then slowly opened the edict.

It's a blank sheet of paper inside?!

The queen was stunned, the white paper fell from her hand to the ground, and she hurriedly returned to Shen Wen's bedside, looking at Shen Wen in disbelief: "Why is it white paper?!This is not the real edict!Where is the real edict?!" The queen was a little hysterical.

Shen Wen slowly sat up from the bed, looked at the queen in disappointment and said, "Yes, that's fake, the real one is written on the prince's name." ”

The queen looked at Shen Wen, who looked like he was dying a moment ago, but now she sat up like a normal person and was stunned.

"Your Majesty, you ......"

"Sister Queen, you are too anxious," Su Wanxi said, lightly pushing away the little eunuch holding her, and all the people in the house were already standing aside respectfully.

The queen looked at the person she brought over in astonishment: "What are you doing?!"

Several little eunuchs all knelt in front of Shen Wen's bed and did not answer the queen.

The queen staggered back, looking at Su Wanxi and Shen Wen incredulously, not understanding what was going on.

The corners of Su Wanxi's mouth rose, and she looked at the queen contemptuously and said, "Sister, the emperor has always wanted to pass on the throne to the crown prince, but you are so anxious and flustered, why bother?"

Shen Wen sighed, and slowly got out of bed with the support of the palace people, although he was old, he did not look like a dying person.

"Let's go, concubine, it's time to go to Daqing Palace. Shen Wen said, got dressed, and went to the Daqing Hall with Su Wanxi.

Does the queen understand, it turns out that everything is a trap, and it was the emperor and Su Wanxi who designed their own trap? !
