Chapter 87: The Edict

"It's like I'm not with you on weekdays." Lu Zhiyao said helplessly, grabbed Lin Yinan's body and hugged him.

After the two sat on the soft couch wordlessly for a while, Lin Yinan sat up straight. Looking at Lu Zhiyao's somewhat reddened cheeks that were blown by the wind with pity, he said softly: "Come back and pick up He Lao into the palace, and take some things by the way." It's not early, you rest, don't wait for me. ”

Lin Yinan hurriedly came back and left in a hurry. Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, but she knew that Lin Yinan must be uncomfortable in her heart.

Lin Yinan should be the same as Lu Zhiyao, who also hates the emperor. But when you find that the person you have always hated in your heart is no longer there, and there is no reason or opportunity for you to continue hating, the emptiness in your heart is difficult for people to accept for a while.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and a day has passed, and the news of the emperor's death has still reached the ears of the people. And at this time, it is also time for the prince to take the throne.

Lin Yunlong's death made many people suspicious, and more than one minister asked, why did the emperor die? Did you suffer from someone's poisonous hands?

Although no one was mentioned in this question, everyone knew that they were suspicious of Lin Yixiang.

Lin Yixiang ascended to the throne in an unexpected way and speed, killed General Nangong and killed the crown prince, and the degree of ruthlessness can be seen. So it's not impossible to kill the emperor now.

The answer given by the imperial doctor was very consistent, there was nothing wrong with the emperor's body, it was a natural death.

In the face of everyone's doubts, Lin Yixiang had no reaction. He has already gotten what he deserves, so how can he care so much?

Just when everyone thought that Lin Yixiang had already sat on the throne, someone suddenly stood up and said something like this.

"A few days ago, the emperor summoned a few of us and told us something very important."

Chen Qi stood in front of the ministers after being silent for a long time, and said in a heavy tone: "Since the death of the fourth prince, the emperor has been thinking about who to pass the throne to. After the end, the decision was finally made. ”

"Didn't the emperor appoint Prince Luo as the prince a long time ago? What do you mean by that? ”

As soon as Chen Qi's words came out, someone immediately made a displeased voice. And this person is naturally by Lin Yixiang's side.

Chen Qi and the others were by the emperor's side, and they had never participated in the battle between the crown prince and the eighth prince from beginning to end. He is a scholar and has no real power, but he is a good hand at helping the emperor deal with political affairs, and he has always been very close to the emperor. So when they stand up at this time, it must be unsettling.

"The old minister doesn't mean anything, it's just a message for the emperor. The emperor had already written an edict, and it was in the main hall. Whose throne should belong has long been decided. Now, it's time for us guys to take a look. ”

After Chen Qi finished speaking, the ministers couldn't help but talk about it. Lin Yunlong is a person who does things in advance, and there have been so many accidents recently, it is not too much for him to write the edict in advance.

Lin Yixiang's face changed slightly, but he still pretended to smile indifferently and followed everyone to the main hall.

When they came to the palace where the ministers usually went to the morning court, everyone stood there and waited.

According to what Lin Yunlong said before, Chen Qi found the edict under the cushion of the dragon chair, which surprised the ministers, such an important thing was actually placed there.

Chen Qi opened the edict in front of everyone, but after a few glances, the whole person stayed there, motionless.

"What's wrong?!" Someone asked anxiously.

Chen Qi glanced at the person who spoke, then swept his gaze over Lin Yixiang and Lin Yinan, and then slowly read out the words written on the edict one by one.

People raised their hearts to their throats, and they didn't know if the emperor's choice was the same as they thought.

When Chen Qi said the most difficult name, the expectation in their hearts turned into doubt.

Lin Yinan, how is this possible?!

When Lin Yixiang heard the three words that were not his name, he clenched his fists and turned his head to look at the people around him.

Lin Yinan stood there with an indifferent expression as if he hadn't heard anything, bearing everyone's gaze. There was no joy, no sorrow, just quietly there, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

"Impossible! This edict is fake! ”

There were more and more voices of doubt, but after looking at the things in Chen Qi's hand, they sank again.

This is the emperor's handwriting, there is nothing wrong, everyone knows it in their hearts. But there should be doubts, but there are still ones.

People looked at each other, not knowing what to say at this time. And at this time, Liu Lei appeared in front of them and brought them another piece of news.

"The emperor has always been careful, and he has long guessed that the ministers will have doubts about this edict, so he wrote two copies, one for the old slave and one for me." Liu Lei is Lin Yunlong's most trusted confidant, which is something that everyone knows.

Liu Lei's words gave Lin Yixiang another glimmer of hope in his heart, he looked at Lin Yinan without a trace, and found that Lin Yinan was looking at Liu Lei intently, as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Lei's hand trembled a little and took out the thing that Lin Yunlong handed him from his arms, opened the envelope, and read out the words written on it.

The result is the same, the owner of the throne is none other than the controversial eighth prince, Lin Yinan.

Both edicts were written like this, and there was no reason for the ministers to make any more trouble. There was a brief silence, and then they knelt down one after another, acknowledging Lin Yinan's new identity. There was only one person, who was stunned for a long time, did not speak, did not bend his knees, and did not leave.

Lin Yixiang, he didn't believe that this ending was true. He suspected when Chen Qi read out the edict just now that this edict might have been forged by Lin Yinan, and Lin Yunlong also died at the hands of Lin Yinan. But how to explain what Liu Lei has in his hand? Even if everyone would betray Lin Yunlong, Liu Lei would definitely not. Could it be that the person Lin Yunlong thought of from the beginning was him Lin Yinan?!

The new emperor ascended the throne, not the Prince Luo who was known before, but the eighth prince who had always been unfathomable. Such a dramatic transformation made it inevitable for people who were deeply grieved to talk about it in secret, and many versions of the rumor were also spread among the people.

Nangong Nuo'er laughed when she heard that Lin Yinan was the emperor, retribution, this is retribution! Lin Yixiang has worked so hard, and the most difficult thing is just to pave the way for Lin Yinan!

Nangong Nuo'er looked forward to it, and finally looked forward to Lin Yixiang.

Lin Yixiang, who was defeated in the last step, didn't speak all day, looking at Nangong Nuo'er in front of him with a smiling face, he didn't need to listen to what she wanted to say.

Lin Yixiang walked past her and heard Nangong Nuo'er's taunt as he thought.

The anger that had accumulated for a day finally broke out under Nangong Nuo'er's ridicule and sarcasm, and Lin Yixiang in the rage was like a beast that had lost his mind, which made Nangong Nuo'er a little scared.

"Get out of here, I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now."

Lin Yixiang stepped on Nangong Nuo'er under his feet, lowered his head, looked at her with disdain and coldness in his eyes and said.

Lin Yixiang locked himself in the room, and Nangong Nuo'er still smiled after getting up from the ground. The more frustrated Lin Yixiang was at this time, the happier she became, this was all self-inflicted, no one can blame her!

In the Eight Emperors' Palace, when Wanyue and other servants heard that someone in the palace had brought back the news, saying that the Eighth Emperor had succeeded to the throne, they were all ecstatic. ran all the way to Lu Zhiyao, and told her the news breathlessly. Lu Zhiyao looked at the smiles of Wanyue who were panting and couldn't hide their smiles, and they were not as happy as they imagined.

"No matter how much you smile, your mouth is crooked." Lu Zhiyao stood up and said to a few people: "Stop yelling, the emperor has just passed away, how many eyes are staring here." The Eight Emperors' Mansion is already different from before, and they are all a little more restrained. ”

Lin Yinan was happy to be the emperor, but he was more worried. That seat, where is it so easy to sit? Besides, she didn't forget why Lin Yinan wanted to fight for this throne, he was for her.

The poison on Lin Yinan's body is incomprehensible for a day, no matter how much power he has, no matter how much money he has, Lu Zhiyao is not at ease. Revenge is being avenged little by little, and what she longs for is that when everything tends to be calm, he can still be safe by her side.

The few people in Wanyue nodded again and again, silent, but the smile still didn't disappear.

Lu Zhiyao let them all go out, leaving only Yudie by his side.

Seeing Lu Zhiyao's frowning slightly, Yudie automatically pressed her, Lu Zhiyao closed his eyes comfortably, and slowly began to talk to Yudie.

"Master, do you remember what the slave said on the day of the big day?"

"Which one do you mean?"

"The slave maid said that the eighth prince will not lose you, and it turns out that the slave's words are right." The corners of Yudie's mouth turned up slightly, and she said quietly: "Although I don't know what the master is worried about, but with the Eighth Prince here, it seems that nothing is difficult." I'm about to enter the palace, and I will definitely not be as comfortable as I am in the house in the future. If the master has anything to say, talk to the slave and maid, although the slave and maid are incompetent, but they can still accompany you to relieve your boredom. ”

"I chose you and Xuanyue at the beginning, and it can be regarded as my good vision." Lu Zhiyao slowly responded to her words, "The palace is not easy to enter, just like you said, it must not be as comfortable as the Eight Emperors' Mansion." And it's not my palace alone. Yudie, you, Wanyue and Aunt Chang have been with me for so long, if you don't want to go in the palace, just talk to me directly, I won't force you and I won't treat you badly. ”

"Master, what are you talking about?" Yudie's hand movements stopped, and she knelt in front of Lu Zhiyao. As soon as Lu Zhiyao opened his eyes, he saw her anxious face. "Without the master, there would be no rain and butterflies today, my sister's life was saved by the master, and our family has long recognized you as the master, let's not go anywhere else, where the master is, we will be there, no matter where it is, we will follow the master."

"Okay, you know that your mouth is sweet, get up."

Everyone loves to listen to good words, and Lu Zhiyao is no exception. With a faint smile, she leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

"Keep pressing me, I shouldn't be able to see him for a few days, let's do what we want to do." When it gets dark, I'll take you and the moon to take a stroll to see the beautiful scenery of the capital, and then you can only see the flowers and plants in the palace. ”

Lu Zhiyao's head was groggy, and he gradually fell asleep under the rubbing of the rain butterfly. Yudie didn't dare to wake her up, so she had to cover her with a dress and retreated lightly.
