Chapter 60: The New Monarchy
Yu Ran raised his eyebrows and grinned, "Forget it." I'm a little sleepy and want to get some sleep. ”
When Rong Xi heard this, he raised his eyebrows, then nodded and said, "Since Your Highness is sleepy, then sleep well." ”
"Since that's the case, the lake is cold, and it's not good to stand for a long time, let's go." The folding fan in Yuran's right hand knocked on the palm of his left hand, turned around and walked towards the bridge corridor.
Rong Xun looked at Yu Ran's back, his eyes were heavy, his steps were slow, and he followed Yu Ran back.
Neither of them may know when this warmth will be broken to pieces, but at least, before that, there will always be a time when the wind and waves will calm them down.
And such days will soon come to an end.
Sure enough, just after dawn the next day, bad news came.
At that time, Yuran listened to the death knell, and standing in front of him was the eunuch who accompanied Helian Qing, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
"Your Highness, please follow me into the palace." The eunuch bowed and said.
Yu Ran looked at the eunuch and was silent for a long time without saying a word, and at the moment when the eunuch also began to hesitate, Yu Ran chuckled, and then said: "Eunuch, go back to the palace first to summon it, I will go over by myself later." ”
"But Your Highness......" The eunuch was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the prince was not ready to listen to the seal. This edict was written by Helian Qing and asked the prince to write it himself, and there was Helian Qing's words as an affirmation, so it was almost certain who the next Ning Jun would be.
Yu Ran closed his eyes and waved his hand again, "That's it, it doesn't matter, please rest assured." When I get ready, I'll enter the palace on my own. ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The eunuch knew that he could not shake Yuran's thoughts, so he had to bow deeply towards Yuran before turning to leave.
Prepare, what to prepare?
This is something that only Yuran knows in his own heart.
Yuran's steps were slow, as if he was still idle. She went back to her room, closed the door again, and when she went inside, she saw Rong Xian holding a book, half squinting and taking a nap, as if everything that happened outside didn't matter to him.
Yuran walked to the edge of the chair where he was lying, and then froze, looking at him for a long time.
Rong Xian couldn't avoid Yu Ran's gaze, raised his eyes to look at her as well, and then opened his lips and asked, "What's wrong with Your Highness?" ”
Yuran's expression was at ease, and the next moment he smiled and said, "Let you help me make up." ”
Rong Feng paused, looked at Yu Ran suspiciously, and continued: "Your Highness's dress is really fine, you can enter the palace directly." If His Royal Highness takes care of Ning Jun's death, he just needs to change his coat. ”
"If I enter the palace like this, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself, right?" Yu Ran Waner said.
Rong Xi stared at Yu Ran for a moment, and he didn't see what Yu Ran was thinking, so he had to sit up, put the book on the table on the side, and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”
Xu is because of Ning Jun's death, so Yu Ran is wearing a plain white trailing long skirt, the skirt pleats are like snow and moonlight, flowing and pouring on the ground, three thousand green silk is tied up with a hairband, a butterfly hairpin is inserted in the head, a wisp of green silk hangs down on the chest, and the powder is thin, only adding color. Her eyes seemed to be overflowing with anticipation, and her red lips were as light and light as usual.
She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, smiled slightly, then got up and turned to face Rong Xian.
"Am I good-looking?" Tamarin asked.
Rong Feng looked unpredictable, but he still nodded, "It's good-looking." ”
Tamarin smiled, "That's good." ”
After Yu Ran finished speaking, he seemed to be ready to go out like this, and even prepared to enter the palace like this.
"A-Ran ......"
When Yuran walked to the door, she seemed to hear Rong Xian stop herself, she turned her head sideways and glanced at Rong Xian, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Rong Xi paused suddenly, then turned to Yu Ran and said in a gentle tone: "Rong Xi Gong sent His Highness." ”
Tamazen opened her mouth, and finally realized that she didn't have anything to say, so she smiled casually, pushed the door and walked outside.
The door was re-closed, and the light in the room dimmed a lot in an instant, and Rong Xun stood in place for a long time before he came back to his senses.
When Yuran walked outside the prince's mansion, he habitually looked up at the sky, and felt that today's sky was actually good, which was really a pity. She looked back and saw that Rong Xun hadn't followed her out. Still, she wouldn't care about that.
This is the first time that Yuran has walked out of the gate of the prince's mansion in a woman's dress without concealment, she got into the carriage with a calm expression, and said with a clear lip: "Let's go." ”
Rong Xi didn't send him off, he heard the news of Zhuo Lengyan, and went to see the Xiuzi period who had just woken up. Xiuzi's face was still very pale, and it took a little trance for a while to be sober enough.
Rong Xi saw the awakened Xiuzi period, and he didn't mention anything else, and the first thing he said was: "I have never regretted doing anything, and it is the same now." But at the moment, I actually feel a little regretful. ”
Yes, Rong Xi was talking about regret, not regret, and he didn't know what he was regretting. Maybe it's because for the first time he's found that he's not being able to achieve exactly what he wants. Or maybe it's because he's the first time he's so uncertain.
Xiu Ziqi coughed a few times, but he couldn't sit up for a long time, he opened his mouth, and his voice was hoarse, "Is Your Highness regretting that Helian Yu didn't die?" ”
The person who saved the cultivation period was Zhuo Lengyan, and since Zhuo Lengyan would come to save him, it means that there was Helian Yu's arrangement.
"Didn't she tell you?" Rong Xun asked.
"What does Childe mean?" Xiuzi Qi frowned and asked rhetorically.
"Helian Yu didn't die, because she does have enough ability, which I can't deny now." Rong Xun calmly narrated.
Xiuzi didn't understand, and he had a lot of doubts in his heart, so he asked again: "That son, ...... princess over there?"
"I did wonder why Helian Yu wanted to trap me in the Prince's Mansion so much, but I understand now. Because it seems that I want to do my best to trap her in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Anguo, she will also try her best to keep me in the Mansion of the Prince of Ningguo. Rong Xian's gaze seemed to be looking far away through the half-open window, he smiled slightly, and the expression on his handsome face was still indifferent, as if he was just talking casually with a gesture of sudden understanding.
"But Childe...... Did you leave the princess in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Anguo, and ...... Prince Helian" Xiuzi said this, and suddenly stopped. He was not sluggish, and his eyes suddenly flashed, "Princess, she is ......"
Rong Xi chuckled lightly, and said, "I never thought that one day the person who would fight with me to such a point would be Ah Ran. A little...... I sighed a little. ”
The eunuch stood in front of the main hall, looking at the princes and ministers below, all of whom had arrived, and the only one who was left was the crown prince Helianyu. Dan, according to the prince's meaning, hopes that he will announce Ning Jun's edict first. Although he still hesitated all the way, now, it is really not good for him to drag it out any longer.
"Is the eunuch ready to make such an edict? But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to have arrived yet. "Helian Yi is the second prince, and he stands relatively forward, so the voice falls on the eunuch's ears very clearly.
The eunuch paused, suppressed the panic in his heart, held the edict in both hands and said aloud: "Now that the hour has come, the old slave will follow the will of the king and announce the edict, and please don't interrupt the second prince." ”
Helian Yi's eyes flashed with brilliance, he smiled silently, and then said, "Then I have to bother the eunuch." ”
Before the eunuch opened the edict, his heart had already calmed down, for he almost thought that he had guessed the contents of it, and there was nothing for him to hesitate about. But at this moment, the moment he opened the edict and swept it casually, he was really surprised.
This......
The eunuch hesitated for a moment, but under the gaze of everyone, he still spoke: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I am here to live, and the dragon is in the sky." The five princes Helian Feng, Qi Yinghui, Ke Cheng Zongao, succeeded Gu to the throne, that is, the throne. The special crown prince Helian Yu was appointed as an auxiliary minister, named the regent, Bao Yi Chong, and adjutant in government affairs. ”
Helian Yi was stunned when he heard this. The fifth prince Helian Feng is the next Ning Jun, and the crown prince Helian Yu is the regent?
As soon as the words fell, the people in the entire hall began to talk to each other in low voices, and even the sound began to become more and more complicated.
Because many of the people present, most of them were royal relatives and nobles, they probably didn't expect that Ning Jun's successor was not the crown prince. Because in their opinion, in this Ning country, there is probably no one who can match the crown prince Helian Yu. Even taking a step back, even if Ning Jun's original edict did intend to make the fifth prince Helian Feng the king, as long as Helian Yu existed, would this edict be left in the hands of the eunuch so easily? Even if Helian Yu tampered with, or simply let this edict disappear, then the crown prince Helian Yu is the person who can truly ascend the throne.
It's hard to imagine what happens now.
However, Helian Yi was a person who came to his senses quickly. It suddenly occurred to him in his heart that perhaps this edict was what Yuran himself meant.
Because Yu Ran thought of more than just Ning Guo, she didn't have that much interest in ascending to the position of king now, because once she became Ning Jun, then she would have fewer things to take care of, and Yu Ran wouldn't want that.
Unless, the four kingdoms are one, and all the ministers come to the court.
"If there is no objection, then please ask His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince to accept the order." The eunuch finished reading and said with a sigh of relief.
Helian Feng was originally standing behind Helian Yi, and the moment he heard the content of the edict being read out, his face fused, as if he had turned much paler all of a sudden. His eyes widened, and he stared blankly at the edict in the eunuch's hand, and did not move for a long time.
"Your Highness?" The eunuch walked up to Helian Feng, bowed slightly, and presented the edict. But then he thought for a while and said: "Fifth Highness, this edict should have been received by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here, so I have to ask His Royal Highness Fifth Highness to receive the decree in person." ”
