Chapter 197: Conspiracy
For the next few days, the capital was plunged into a strange atmosphere.
The Qi army surrendered, and the people cheered for victory, but they knew nothing about the great changes in the palace. However, the strict palace was in an inexplicable panic, and within a few days, many important officials of the prince's party and the four princes' party were successively dismissed for various reasons, and some officials who knew how to see the wind and steer quickly changed their camps.
In the main hall of Jingde Palace, Shenyue Haoxuan sat at the table, and next to him sat Yu Wentao.
"King Chang, is there any news over there?"
"According to the report of the spies, there is still no news, no one is alive, no one is dead, no body is seen."
Shenyue Haoxuan frowned, "In that case, what should I do next?" ”
Yu Wentao thought for a while, "The first strike is the strongest, this matter can't be delayed." ”
"But now the DPRK and China have not been stable recently, and if he takes the throne now, it may be unstable, in case he is not dead......"
"Don't worry about this, most of the people in the court have already become our people, and when the time comes, we will replace the people guarding the door with our own people, even if he comes back, there is no way to enter the palace, and after you ascend the throne, even if he comes back, it will be useless, besides, in two days, the military power will be in your hands."
"But the old guy won't breathe for a while......"
"It's not a problem, let's help him instead of making him miserable."
Shenyue Haoxuan looked at him with a glint in his eyes, "You mean ......"
Yu Wentao nodded, Shenyue Haoxuan thought for a while and then continued to ask, "But, what should the prince do in this case?" Now those old things are still helping him, and this prince can't really get rid of them all at once, I think that after the old guy breathes, those old things will also elect him to succeed him. ”
Yu Wentao sneered, "In that case, then let him not succeed to the throne, think about how a dead man can succeed to the throne?" ”
"In that case, without further ado, we have to hurry up."
"Second prince, rest assured, the enthronement ceremony will definitely be held as scheduled in three days, and you will be the unique Tianyang Emperor at that time!"
Shenyue Haoxuan laughed, "King Chang rest assured, as long as King Chang is dedicated to this prince, this prince will naturally not treat you badly!" ”
"Then Weichen thank you very much......" Yu Wentao looked at him slyly and said softly, "Your Majesty." ”
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter, echoing back and forth in the empty main hall. At this moment, a red figure quietly left from behind the door.
Yu Wenyun covered her mouth and ran all the way back to the house and closed the door, leaning on the door and panting heavily, Qingxia was cleaning up the house, seeing her so panicked, she came over and helped her sit down, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yu Wenyun had tears in his eyes, "Qingxia, what should I do?" What to do? ”
"Miss, don't worry, you slowly tell the slave what happened, did the second prince do anything bad to you again?" Qingxia was even more anxious than her when she saw her like this, since she got married, she hadn't seen Yu Wenyun like this again, something terrible must have happened.
Yu Wenyun didn't listen to her words, but just muttered to himself, "No...... I have to figure out a way not to watch him die, not to ......"
"Miss, who's going to die? Let's be clear! ”
Yu Wenyun stood up and walked back and forth in the house a few times before stopping and grabbing her, "Qingxia, quickly help me prepare some wine and food, the more sumptuous the better, and then pack it in a food box and bring it to me!" ”
Qingxia was a little confused by her, "Miss, what do you want to drink, where are you going?" ”
Yu Wenyun was anxiously urging her, "Go quickly!" ”
After Qingxia went out, Yu Wenyun thought about it in the house for a while and ran out, but he ran to Shenyue Haoxuan's bedroom. When I got to the door, I saw that there was no one around before I opened the door and walked in, and as soon as I entered, I quickly rummaged around, and after a long time I found a gold medal under the pillow on the bed, and hurriedly put it in my arms, and after putting the pillow back in its place, I hurried out.
Soon after returning to the house, Qingxia brought a food box, Yu Wenyun took it and looked through it, took out a packet of medicinal powder from a small box in the drawer, and sprinkled it evenly on it, this is the medicinal powder she usually uses to sleep, but she will only take a little at a time.
"Miss, what are you going to do here?" Qingxia looked at her in horror, afraid that she would do something impulsive.
"Close the door, whoever comes will say I'm sleeping!" After Yu Wenyun said a word, he hurriedly walked out with the food box, and Qingxia sent her to the door, but she could only close the door helplessly.
Yu Wenyun saw that there was no one at the door to go out, turned around and turned into the small door next to him, and hurried forward with the corner of his skirt. It was almost an hour before we arrived at the place.
After tidying up her clothes from a distance, and calming her breath, she walked towards the iron gate with lotus steps, and the two guards guarding the door saw her coming, so they saluted respectfully, "See the second imperial concubine." ”
A charming smile drew on the corner of Yu Wenyun's mouth, "The two eldest brothers have worked hard, and they have to stay here on this hot day." ”
"Where is the second imperial concubine, this is the duty of the subordinates."
"That being said, it's important to pay attention to your body. The second prince was worried that the prince would not eat well, so he asked me to bring some food over, the two eldest brothers haven't had lunch yet, so I just took a little more today, so you might as well come and eat together. ”
The two guards glanced at each other and said with some embarrassment, "Thank you for the kindness of the second princess, but without the order of the second prince, we can't leave here casually." ”
Yu Wenyun lowered his head and smiled, and took out the gold medal from his arms, "The two eldest brothers are really dutiful, but you can also see if this is the gold medal of the second prince first?" ”
The two guards took the gold medal in disbelief, looked at it for a while, and then nodded, "Okay, then the second princess, please go in." ”
"The two eldest brothers should come in together, it doesn't matter if you just rest for a while and have a meal, besides, isn't there still me here."
The two guards glanced at each other, then nodded with a smile and invited Yu Wenyun in. After all, according to the current situation, these two princesses are also likely to become queens in the future, and they can stammer well.
Yu Wenyun put the food on the table and took it out, there were four guards guarding it, Yu Wenyun also beckoned them all, there were two guards in front, they were not worried, so they ate happily, and thanked Yu Wenyun while eating.
Yu Wenyun nodded and slowly walked to the side, and after a while, the guards who were eating collapsed under the table. Yu Wenyun took the key to the cell from one of them and hurried inside.
Shenyue Haotian was closing his eyes against the wall, and when he heard the voice, he turned around and saw Yu Wenyun, so he asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" ”
Yu Wenyun didn't have time to worry about him at this time, so he hurriedly untied the chain that locked the door, ran in, and pulled Shenyue Haotian out, "You go quickly!" ”
Shenyue Haotian didn't appreciate it at all, and shook her hand away, "What kind of kindness are you guys!" This prince will not be fooled! ”
"If you don't leave, they'll kill you!" Yu Wenyun was also anxious, ignoring his cynicism, and pulled him out hard.
"With his father here, Prince Ben doesn't believe that he will have such courage!"
"The emperor himself can't protect himself, where is the ability to protect you!"
Shenyue Haotian didn't react for a while, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Yu Wenyun had no choice but to roughly say what he heard to him, Shenyue Haotian's eyes were full of anger, and his hand was clenched into a fist, "How dare he bully the king like this!" What about the fourth brother? Isn't the battle of Qi victorious, he will always come back. ”
"King Qingning and Li Anyue both fell off the cliff, and their lives and deaths are still unknown, and they are also unable to protect themselves, so how can they have the ability to rush back to the capital. Haotian, I beg you, you go quickly, if you don't leave, it's really too late! ”
Shenyue Haotian looked at her in disbelief, constantly denying this information in his heart, and turned to look at her with some hesitation, "Why are you helping me?" ”
Yu Wenyun smiled a little sadly, "I've always stood by your side, but you haven't noticed it." ”
Shenyue Haotian was speechless, and Yu Wenyun continued, "Let's go, it won't be too late for them to wake up later." ”
Shenyue Haotian nodded at her and walked out. Yu Wenyun was left alone in the cell, feeling a little lost and a little comforted. He, at that glance just now, was no longer only disgusted in his eyes, but also grateful, thinking of this, she smiled sadly.
Shenyue Haotian walked out, and saw the guards lying upside down, and looked back at the cell with some hesitation, but quickly gritted his teeth and ran out. But he didn't go out of the palace as Yu Wenyun thought, but ran straight to the emperor's bedroom.
After glancing at the fact that there was no one around, he pushed the door and walked in, and when he walked inside, he saw Shenyue Cangting lying on the bed with his eyes closed, so he suddenly knelt in front of the bed and called softly, "Father! ”
But the Shenyue Cangting on the bed didn't react at all, and Shenyue Haotian called a few more times but still didn't respond, so he took his hand, but as soon as he touched his skin, he found that his hand was cold.
Shenyue Haotian's voice was trembling, "Father? ”
Shenyue Cangting still didn't react, he stretched out his trembling fingers and poked under Shenyue Cangting's nose, but he couldn't feel a little breath. He put his ear to Shenyue Cangting's chest again, but he didn't see a little undulation.
"Father!" A terrible cry came from the dormitory.
