Chapter 68: Showdown

In the Ronghua Palace, Emperor Fu was sitting at the desk, with Gonggong Gao standing beside him, and in front of the desk, there was a man in black wearing a golden mask.

"Your Majesty! Our secret guards found out that this Tang Hongyuan was indeed from the Chu State, and he and the crown prince Zhan Shi Zhang Kaiyong who recommended him were both meticulous works sent by the Chu State. But when we found out that Zhang Kaiyong had committed suicide, we found the correspondence between him and the military of the Chu State. The golden-faced man bowed and replied.

"Then are there any people who are in my court who are also working for the Chu State with these two people, have you found out? Also, is there anyone who is in cahoots with these two? Emperor Fu's face sank like water, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Judging from our current clues, we have not found any officials in the DPRK and China who are complicit in them." The golden-faced man replied.

Seeing the golden-faced man disappear outside the hall, Emperor Fu fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he raised his head and said to the high father-in-law next to him: "It seems that these two Chu people want to kill the old thirteen because they want to destroy the alliance between the two countries. You say, those guys, do you have anything to do with this matter! ”

"The slave thinks, it shouldn't be, several highnesses are extremely smart people, they must know that they are intrigued, Your Majesty may be able to forbear, but if it is a major event that destroys the country, Your Majesty will definitely be angry." Gao Gonggong replied softly.

"This old thirteen has been assassinated many times, and he won't be so lucky every time, it seems that this matter has to be resolved." Emperor Fu leaned back in his chair, as if he was talking to Gonggong Gao, and seemed to be talking to himself.

There was news in the court that Yang Yun, the thirteenth prince, had successfully brokered an alliance between Dafu and Liuyi, and the imperial court was discussing to crown Yang Yun as king.

This news made the entire Xijing City talk a lot, who would have thought that the fifth prince to be crowned the king was actually the thirteenth prince Yang Yun, who had always been ignored. Even Yang Yun didn't expect that this belated reward would actually be the king. Since such news can come out of the DPRK, it seems that this matter should be inseparable, and he can't help but have some expectations in his heart, what kind of fief he can give himself.

"Young master, we have to fight for this, if we are really crowned kings, we have to think of a good fiefdom!" In the secret room of the Thirteen Princes' Mansion, Yao Xia took the lead in speaking.

"Yes! We can go to find King Ning, Concubine Yuniang, and even the old lady Fu Zhao, who admires the young master the most. Yan Feifei also said.

"I think that King Ning can be found, and Concubine Yu Niangniang can't do this kind of thing to seek benefits for her son. Even Mrs. Zhao, he has always been upright, and begging him will make him look down on him. Zhong Wenrui doesn't like to talk, but his every word is thoughtful.

"Actually, there's another person you can try." Ju Yuanguang said with a smile, but refused to say the person's name.

Yun Sanniang, the proprietress of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, returned to the courtyard, her face was full of sadness, the thirteen princes' mansion sent people, and actually said that she wanted to redeem Liu Piaopiao. If other girls don't give silver, they just give it to the thirteen princes, Yun Sanniang is willing, after all, it is very rare to be able to get in touch with the prince.

But Liu Piaopiao, this will not work, in the past two years, but because she has refused many princes and grandsons, this is not a matter of silver. However, offending the prince is a troublesome matter.

"Your Highness, the Liu Piaopiao girl from Xiaoxiang Pavilion is here!" Early in the morning of the second day, Yang Yun was playing chess with Ju Yuanguang over tea, and Kong Yuan came in to report.

"This piano fairy is coming faster than we thought!" Ju Yuanguang put a chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

In the side hall of the Thirteen Princes' Mansion, Yang Yun and Liu Piaopiao sat opposite each other. Today's Liu Piaopiao is wearing a shirt with silk flowers on a white background and a white pleated skirt. The phoenix has spring eyes, long eyebrows into the sideburns, a smile at the corner of the mouth, and a naughty look on the face of an elf.

"I heard my mother say that His Royal Highness does not dislike the slave's posture and wants to redeem his life for the slave family, and the slave family is overjoyed, so I came to thank His Highness for his kindness." Liu Piaopiao got up and saluted, her pretty face and faint smile made Yang Yun's heart flutter.

Yang Yun looked at Liu Piaopiao's pretty face with an obsessive look: "Since this prince saw the girl a few months ago, he was overwhelmed by the girl's peerless appearance, and he couldn't bear the pain of missing him, so he cheekily begged your mother to let me redeem myself for you." ”

"To be so favored by His Royal Highness, the slave family is flattered, but although the slave family was born in a green building, it is also innocent, and His Royal Highness has to use a sedan chair to carry the slave family into the door." Liu Piaopiao took a sip of tea, with a hint of cunning in her smile.

"Of course this should be, this prince must use eight sedan chairs to welcome the girl into the door in a beautiful manner" Yang Yun raised the teacup in his hand and smiled faintly.

Liu Piaopiao listened to Yang Yun's words, paused, suddenly showed a charming smile, and stretched his face in front of Yang Yun: "I heard that His Royal Highness is about to be crowned king, at this juncture, you welcome a woman from the Qinglou into the door, what will your father do if he finds out!" Also, I heard that His Royal Highness and the girl of the servant family of the Ministry of Officials are in love, why, His Royal Highness has not married the girl Chi into the door, so he has to welcome the slave family into the door first, and he is not afraid that the girl will be sad? ”

Listening to Liu Piaopiao's words, the smile on Yang Yun's face couldn't help but froze, and said with a dry smile: "Miss Liu is really well-informed, how can she know everything?" ”

After hearing this, Liu Piaopiao's face turned straight: "Your Highness, the slave family knows that you are not the kind of person who is greedy for beauty, so you can say what the purpose is!" You are a prince, so you don't have to be a slave and a fireworks woman to have fun! ”

"That's it! All right! Miss Liu is sharp-toothed, and the prince admits defeat. Yang Yun smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "I don't want to be happy with a fireworks woman, but the dignified Tsing Yi Sect saintess has made fun of this prince several times!" ”

Teasing Yang Yun was almost speechless, Liu Piaopiao was proud, she was holding the teacup, ready to take a sip. Hearing Yang Yun's words, she couldn't help but shake her hands, spilled tea on the ground, and was speechless for a long time.

After a long while, she came back to her senses, looked at Yang Yun and said, "What does Your Highness mean, the slave family doesn't understand?" ”

Finally pulled back a game, Yang Yun was proud in his heart, and said with a light smile: "I mean, a few months ago, there was a masked woman who rode in a sedan chair with this prince, and a few days ago, I met this woman in an alley talking to a mysterious person in a sedan chair, and I thought it was a girl." ”

"How could it be me......" Liu Piaopiao had just said this, and suddenly thought of something. She sighed and said: "No wonder when I returned home that day, there was a strange smell on my body, and I couldn't wash it away, and on the second day, there were many mysterious people near Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and their feelings were all people from His Highness." ”

After a pause, Liu Piaopiao said with a straight face: "Thank you Your Highness for not reporting Piaopiao, but Piaopiao can also tell Your Highness that my Tsing Yi Sect has never had the idea of targeting His Highness, not before, and will not have it in the future." ”

"Haha, of course our Highness believes in Piao Piao Girl, girl Bing Xue is smart, do you know what our purpose is for bringing you to the Prince's Mansion?" At this time, as soon as the door opened, Ju Yuanguang walked in from the outside with a smile.

Hearing Ju Yuanguang say this, Liu Piaopiao was stunned, but after only a while, she smiled and said: "I know, I will report to the top after I go back, my Tsing Yi Sect also has some connections in Xijing City, I believe they are also willing to run for His Royal Highness to be crowned king!" ”

"Is this Tsing Yi Sect saint really reliable?" Seeing Liu Piaopiao walk out of the door, Yang Yun turned to Ju Yuanguang and said.

"Judging from what they did before, this Tsing Yi Sect should not be hostile to His Highness." Ju Yuanguang said confidently.

Not to mention, the efficiency of this Tsing Yi Sect is quite high, just after a quarter of an hour at noon on the second day, a beggar came to the gate of the Thirteen Princes' Mansion and handed a note to the guard, saying that someone specially handed it to His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Prince. The guards didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly came in and presented it to Yang Yun.

Yang Yun took the note, opened it and saw that it read "Push the boat down the river and go all out" written on it. Yang Yun smiled faintly and lit the note on the candle flame and burned it.
