Chapter 319: Choosing a Day for Burial

"Will we ever come back?" Mu Zi looked at Xue Jincheng and asked.

Xue Jincheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her ask.

He practiced martial arts when he was young, and at that time he was reckless and wanton, aiming in all directions, and he wanted to go outside, and he always felt that the capital restrained him. Later, when he really grew up, he followed his father to the battlefield, but he spent more time in the frontier, and now, the power struggle and intrigue in the capital make him even more disgusted.

In this capital, he will only think about it when he wins the battle, he is looking forward to returning triumphantly, looking forward to seeing his mother who is worried about him as soon as possible, and the cute little sister! His little unmarried wife.

Capital...... This is where she and her mother lived for many years!

"Will be back!" Xue Jincheng nodded.

Mu Zi smiled gently.

He said yes, and she believed him, believing that even if he left the capital, he would be able to protect this huge Hou Mansion.

The situation in the court is getting worse and worse, and the conflict between the parties has reached the point of madness.

Cui Dexi, as the chief eunuch beside the emperor, has not appeared in the court for many days because the emperor is "seriously ill", but on this day, he suddenly sent someone to find King Cheng, the eldest prince and the second prince to go to the imperial study to discuss matters.

Since the tacit agreement to conceal the emperor's death, King Cheng and others seem to have completely forgotten about this matter. At first, he went to the emperor's hospital bed to "serve the sick", but then gradually he stopped coming, only caring about fighting for power and profit.

Cui Dexi sent someone to spread the word, and several people were a little puzzled, the emperor was already dead, and Cui Dexi's position as the chief manager was also sitting at the end, but when he heard that he also invited the other two rivals, in case he missed something important, the three of them still went to the imperial study in their busy schedules.

After all, Cui Dexi has been serving by the emperor's side for many years, what if he really knows something?

"I wonder what's going on with the Grand Steward?" As soon as King Cheng stepped into the imperial study, he asked directly, and his posture was very arrogant.

Cui Dexi's eyes flashed slightly, and he spoke respectfully, "Back to the prince's words, the slave wants to ask about His Majesty's burial, I don't know, when will Qin Tianjian choose a date?" This matter really can't be delayed! ”

King Cheng and the others were all stunned by the question.

Pick a date to be buried? Wouldn't that be about to announce the death of the emperor?

Although there are some shrewd ministers in the court, they can probably guess anything, but as long as there is no public announcement, no one dares to suspect that "the emperor has died" in front of everyone!

King Cheng and his people are unscrupulous these days, and it is precisely because of this that no one dares to question it, so they can have no fear.

But if it is really announced, then, can you win?

All three hesitated.

Cui Dexi looked at the three people with poor faces, he had expected it, he looked at the imperial case in the middle of the imperial study calmly, and slowly spoke, his voice was not loud, but with a firm and undeniable strength, "Lord Qin Tianjian will come over soon!" ”

When King Cheng heard this, his face, which was originally just a little ugly, immediately sank, and he looked at Cui Dexi with gloomy eyes.

Qin Tianjian is not afraid at all, that group of timid and fearful things will only deceive, whoever gains power will say who is the true son of heaven, and the virtual deduction of the ritual sacrifice is just a means to fool everyone!

King Yicheng didn't bother with Qin Tianjian at all. He was not afraid that the Qin Heavenly Supervisor would say anything unfavorable to him. What he was dissatisfied with was Cui Dexi's attitude!
