Chapter Seventy-Nine: Ascension
The day when the new king of Dongli ascended the throne.
There was a joyful scene in the city, and the people cheered more than once, just by looking at the excited looks on the faces of the people, you can know how much Liyang is supported by the people.
Fang Jinyi has to admit that Liyang is really steady in doing things, weighing the pros and cons very accurately, and knowing what things to do is both good and no harm to him.
And Liyang is different from the princes of other countries, who has ever seen the prince wandering outside the palace all day long? Even Yan Yumo only leaves the palace when he observes the people's feelings, and he stays in the palace on weekdays and does not come out.
But Liyang is different, he will go out of the palace almost every three or four days, sometimes just walk around the city, sometimes he will hear that there is something difficult to solve, he will go to join in the fun, even if it is thousands of miles away.
Liyang has done a lot on the surface, and if you catch a random person on the street and ask, you will say that Liyang is a good person and a good prince.
Dongli Kingdom is not only a prince in Liyang, he also has other brothers and sisters, but I don't know what method Liyang used, his brothers and sisters will never compete with him for the throne.
Of course, this is only what outsiders see, and it is unknown what it looks like behind the scenes.
Today is the day of her accession to the throne, Fang Jinyi has changed into more formal clothes, and she will enter the palace as the county lord of Dongli Kingdom to witness Liyang sit on the throne.
Su Muqiu and Su Zixu also changed into decent clothes, after all, Liyang had already said yesterday that they would enter the palace together, and now Su Muqiu came to seek peace with Fang Jinyi's marriage, so naturally he couldn't lose his momentum.
After a few people tidied up and dressed up, they met in the hall, Su Muqiu looked at the rejuvenated Fang Jinyi, and her eyes lit up.
Fang Jinyi doesn't pay much attention to what she wears on weekdays, how comfortable and how to dress up, and only wears like this when she participates in important occasions.
It's not that the hibiscus is not beautiful on weekdays, but I feel that the hibiscus clothes that are suddenly dressed up look unique, and I want people to take it for themselves.
"Big brother, in front of so many people, your eyes are about to pop out, it's too rude." Su Zixu joked with a smile, so that the subordinates next to him couldn't help but bow their heads and smile.
Su Muqiu glared at Su Zixu fiercely, then coughed lightly with an unnatural face, and said to Fang Jinyi: "Let's go." ”
The group set off for the palace, and when they were at the palace gate, they met Tang Lian who got off the carriage, and Tang Lian waved his hand at Fang Jinyi like no one.
Fang Jinyi frowned slightly, although she didn't see the injuries on Tang Lian's body with her own eyes yesterday, but Tang Lian's face was very ugly at that time, and he couldn't move when she came, which showed that the injuries on his body were very serious.
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Jinyi still walked over to Tang Lian and said with a worried expression: "Why don't you rest at home?" ”
"Today is a big day in Dongli Kingdom, how can I be absent." Tang Lian chuckled, and reached out to stroke Fang Jinyi's head, and said, "And I don't worry about you." ”
After yesterday's conversation, Fang Jinyi understood that the unease in Tang Lian's mouth was not the unease in the past, and he entered the palace with an injury today, I am afraid that she would be worried that something bad would happen to her.
"Tang Gongzi."
Su Muqiu walked over with a smile on his face, next to him was Su Zixu, who was also smiling, the two brothers were handsome and attracted the attention of many young ladies at the gate of the palace.
Tang Lian withdrew his hand that was touching Fang Jinyi, smiled lightly, and said politely: "The two sons are good, they encountered such a major event when they first came to Dongli, I really don't know if it's luck or ......."
Tang Lian didn't finish the last words, but a few people knew that there were advantages and disadvantages to Liyang's accession to the throne.
The scene in the palace was more brilliant and festive than outside the palace, Fang Jinyi and his party followed Tang Lian to the outside of the main hall, there was still an hour before the time of ascending the throne, Fang Jinyi and Tang Lian said that they wanted to see Du Wei.
Tang Lian persuaded Fang Jinyi, saying that Du Wei would appear later, and it would not be too late for this hour, so let her wait patiently.
In the end, Fang Jinyi was persuaded by Tang Lian, Tang Lian was thoughtful, and he also knew how important Du Mo was to her, so Tang Lian must have his reasons for doing this.
The ministers here were waiting for the auspicious time with smiles on their faces, but there was gunsmoke in the Liyang dormitory, and there were only two people in the dormitory, Liyang and Du Wei, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were originally serving were all driven out.
"What do you want?"
Du Mo looked at Liyang angrily, and her overall appearance looked a little crazy, as if something had made her on the verge of going crazy.
Liyang's face was gloomy and terrifying, his eyes looked at Du Mo fixedly, and the hand on his side was clenched into a fist.
"I said that when I succeeded in ascending the throne, I would let him go, and I would definitely do what I promised you."
"Will it?" Du Mo asked rhetorically, looking at Liyang with some mockery, "You have said these words more than once before, but now?" I'm still in your hands. ”
"It's not just me, it's my sister, my ......"
Du Mo stopped suddenly, Liyang looked at him, sneered, and said, "What's yours?" Your lover? ”
"Liyang." Du Mo said a little hurriedly, with a panicked look on his face.
"Do you think you can hide that little thing between you and Fang Jinyuan?" Liyang said in a low tone, and his eyes gradually became cold when he looked at Du Wei.
"Fang Jinyuan often comes to Dongli secretly, sneaks into Shengyue Garden to see you, and you leave Dongli to meet him at the border, which of these things can escape the eyes of my father."
"Do you think that your father didn't punish you because you hid it deeply?"
"I'll tell you the truth, if I hadn't carried it in front of my father for you, Fang Jinyuan would have been killed long ago when he had thoughts about you."
When Liyang said these words, Du Mo showed a surprised expression, although she knew that she and Fang Jinyuan couldn't hide it, but she didn't expect it to be seen through so early.
Moreover, Liyang said that he helped them hide it, which made Du Wei feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Du Wei, do you remember what I said to you before?" Liyang suddenly approached Du Wei, looking at her somewhat flustered expression, her eyes became a little gentle.
"I said I would protect you, even if you lose everything, as long as it can make you safe and happy for the rest of your life."
"I said that as long as you have what you want, whatever it is, I will deliver it to you."
"I said that even if you let me go in the future, I will never leave you."
As Liyang's words and gradually approached, Du Mo took a few steps back in a bit of a panic until there was no way back.
Liyang reached out and stroked the hair on Du Wei's forehead, looking at her dodging eyes, good-looking eyebrows, tall nose, and small red lips.
"Liyang."
Du Wei's voice trembled a little, it was not the first time she had seen Liyang, Liyang was dangerous at this time.
"Huh." Liyang chuckled, looked at Du Wei's face, and said in a calm tone: "I won't hurt you." ”
"Du Mo, I will never hurt you."
"Everything that happens now is your fate and mine."
Du Mo pursed her lips nervously and said, "The hour is coming, I'll call someone in to prepare for you." After speaking, Du Mo bypassed Liyang and walked to the door.
"You haven't blessed me yet." Liyang said suddenly, looking at Du Mo who had stopped, and showed a smile.
"Bless me as a friend."
Looking at Liyang at this moment, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little sad, she and Liyang can be said to have grown up together since childhood, and they know each other very well.
It's just that I don't know when, Liyang is like a different person, indifferent, ruthless, and ruthless.
Du Mo knew very well in his heart that in the royal family, in order to survive, he had to make himself ruthless. If you are not ruthless, then not only will you not be able to protect yourself, but even your loved ones will not be able to protect yourself.
Those born in the royal family have an extremely rough life, and they will spend their lives in fear, unless you become the supreme king.
Is it for this reason that Liyang will ascend to the throne at all costs?
"Don't you want to?"
Du Mo didn't move for a long time, and Liyang smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "That's right, you really have no reason to bless me, after all, ......"
Before Liyang's words were finished, Du Mo knelt on the ground facing him, and then bowed down respectfully.
"I wish His Royal Highness Liyang a smooth ascension to the throne today, a safe and healthy dragon body in the future, and prosperity in the East Li Kingdom."
Looking at the person kneeling in front of him, Liyang suddenly felt a little sour, and held back the emotions that were about to overflow, Liyang walked over and helped Du Wei up.
"Don't worry, I will do what I say."
Du Mo looked at Liyang silently, then withdrew his hand, turned around and walked to the door, and let the palace maid and eunuch enter the house to continue to serve Liyang in the imperial robe.
returned to the residence, and Du Mo changed into a formal dress under the service of the palace maid. Since Liyang promised her that she would tell Fang Jinyuan's whereabouts after today, she could only wait carefully.
Just as Fang Jinyi and the others were anxious, they finally saw Du Mo walking out from the side, and Du Mo walked straight to her with a palace maid.
"Sister."
Fang Jinyi walked over quickly, Du Wei reached out and took Fang Jinyi's hand, smiled at her, said that he was fine, and then pulled her back to the place.
Tang Lian and Su Muqiu nodded to Du Mo at the same time, and Du Mo also smiled back, and then stood aside and looked in the other direction.
After a while, the drum sounded, and Liyang stood in front of the main hall in an imperial robe, next to the minister with a white beard and a serious face.
Fang Jinyi didn't listen to what the minister was saying, just looked at Liyang, I don't know why, Liyang's back looked a little ...... Lonely.
The most puzzling thing about the entire enthronement ceremony is that the emperor did not appear, and he didn't even show his face. And for this puzzling question, Liyang doesn't even have a word.
Every minister had a smile on their faces, but Fang Jinyi noticed that their smile was very reluctant, perhaps they all knew in their hearts that this enthronement was not as simple as it seemed.
Until the end of the enthronement ceremony, Liyang didn't look at Du Mo, he came to this point, although it was a fate arranged by God a long time ago, but in fact, he controlled it single-handedly.
