Duanmu Qingyun, who had been crying for a while, seemed to have remembered something, Karan stopped crying, and quickly raised his head: "Young Master Dongfang, you just said that your father will wake up later?" Is it really a return to the past? โ
It seems that this Duan Mu Qingyun is not so stupid, although he realizes it later, but it is not too late after all.
Just as Gu Youlan wanted to answer, there was a sound of footsteps outside the dormitory, listening to this sound, there were at least more than 100 people, and they were all the footsteps of soldiers.
What should have come is still coming.
Gu Youlan and Yan glanced at each other tacitly, and then pulled Duanmu Qingyun to sit on the dragon couch in turn, and each made an enchantment.
Gu Youlan hit the enchantment around the old emperor, but Yan put an invisibility enchantment in front of him, as the name suggests, no one can see him except Gu Youlan.
Not long after, with the sound of splashing water and footsteps outside the hall, the curtain of the dormitory was raised, and Duanmu Qinghe walked in angrily with a group of officials.
Looking at Duanmu Qingyun and Gu Youlan who were sitting on the edge of the bed, Duanmu Qinghe snorted coldly: "The crown prince and brother are really here, you are doing a good job of performing this fish-eyed drama?" โ
Duanmu Qingyun frowned puzzled: "Second Emperor Brother, it was you who sent someone to say that my father was seriously ill and faint and had to be taken care of, so I came in a hurry, but where are you?" You still say that I am a fish, so what are you? Reversing black and white or trying to cover up? โ
"Hmph, Duanmu Qingyun, you still have the face to say, if you hadn't held a big feast, how could my father be stunned by you? Why, I heard that my father fainted, what are you doing in your father's bedroom on your birthday? Do you want to kill your father while we are gone? โ
"Killers? Duanmu Qinghe, I am the crown prince appointed by my father, why should I kill my father? If you want to usurp power and seize the throne, just say it directly, why do you need to charge me with this big unfilial piety! โ
Duanmu Qingyun looked at Duanmu Qinghe coldly, with a hint of disdain in his voice.
"Didn't I frame you? Isn't the corpses of soldiers and doctors all over the ground enough to explain why? Duanmu Qinghe pointed to the soldiers and imperial doctors who were still sleeping on the ground, and said righteously.
As soon as he heard this, Duanmu Qingyun's pale face, which was already angry, turned blue in an instant: "Duanmu Qinghe, what do I want to ask you when I arrive?" It's true that I have a birthday, but why have the guards and imperial doctors in the palace been replaced by yours? Do you want to force the palace on my birthday? โ
"Forcing the palace? What nonsense! Brother Crown Prince, I received a message saying that someone was going to assassinate my father tonight, so I increased the number of people in the palace, as for why the imperial doctor and guards were changed, it was because the imperial doctor you sent to treat my father was suspected of poisoning my father, otherwise why would my father have been unconscious? โ
"Someone wants to assassinate my father? Hehe, Duanmu Qinghe, the reason you are looking for is good and very convincing! โ
Duanmu Qingyun laughed at Duanmu Qinghe's unreasonable quibbles, only to see him look sideways at the old emperor who was still in a coma on the bed, and there was a hint of hoarseness in his voice.
"Second Emperor Brother, today I don't want to argue with you more, my father is terminally ill, you and I, as sons of man, should not argue about these useless things in front of my father's dragon couch at this time, everything will wait for my father to wake up!"
After the words fell, the officials who looked at Duanmu Qinghe's side continued to say: "Fellow ministers, what is your intention in following the second prince to your father's bedroom in a hurry? And when he saw this prince, he was indifferent, what was his intention? โ
At this time, the officials standing beside Duanmu Qinghe, after listening to Duanmu Qingyun's words, looked at me, I look at you, no one knows how to answer his question.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, today is your birthday, originally we were all waiting in your mansion, but you didn't show up after waiting for a long time, and your housekeeper didn't let me wait to leave, and then the second prince sent someone to say that your birthday was fake, but in fact you wanted to put us under house arrest in the prince's mansion, and then you came to Your Majesty to ......"
When Xiang Zuo Xiang took the first step and arched his hand to tell the truth, although some words were not finished, but everyone knew the metaphor in it.
"Oh?" When Duanmu Qingyun heard this, he smiled: "Do you believe the words of the second prince?" So do you want to ask me for an explanation or do you want to ask me for an explanation or do you ......come to the palace?"
"We ......"
Zuo Xiang and others didn't believe the words of the second prince, because the crown prince was already in charge of the country, and he could justifiably ascend the throne and succeed to the throne just after the old emperor died, and there was no need to use the birthday to hold a house arrest minister, let alone assassinate the emperor.
But look at the soldiers and the imperial doctor lying on the ground in front of him...... Could it be that everything is as the second prince said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't wait? Thinking about it, the ministers didn't figure it out, and they didn't know who to believe.
For a while, there was silence in the dormitory, and everyone didn't dare to breathe, for fear of alarming either of the two princes and causing harm to themselves.
After a while, Duanmu Qinghe broke the silence in the dormitory: "Everyone, it seems that you won't believe what I say to the crown prince and brother, so let my father say it next!" โ
After that, before Duanmu Qingyun could reply, Duanmu Qinghe rushed to the side of the dragon couch with a brisk step, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Duanmu Qingyun open his arms and stand up.
"Qinghe, what are you going to do? The father is still faint, and he can't come nonsense! โ
"Who said I wanted to come nonsense, I just wanted my father to speak!" Duanmu Qinghe put his hand on Duanmu Qingyun's shoulder, and was about to drag him aside.
At this critical moment, the ministers who had been watching suddenly saw that behind Duanmu Qingyun, there was actually a petite man in black sitting, and his face was instantly full of incredulity.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, who is this little prince? Why did he sit on His Majesty's dragon couch? The right minister asked out with a puzzled expression, but a very amazing version of gossip flashed in his heart.
"Could it be that this young man in black is the illegitimate son of His Majesty? Why else would it be here? โ
But the next answer made him collapse immediately.
"He's the Dan Master I invited!"
"She's my future princess!"
Duanmu Qingyun and Duanmu Qinghe replied in unison, but when the words fell, the two also glared at each other again.
"Dizzy ......", there was silence in the dormitory for a while, and the ministers thought they had heard it wrong, so they looked at each other with their noses and noses, and quietly nodded to make sure.
But everyone was very interested in not answering, but cast their eyes on Gu Youlan, who was dressed in black, and waited for her to give an answer, which was obvious.
When Gu Youlan saw this sudden scene, she sneered in her heart: "These brothers usually look very smart, why did they drop the chain at the critical moment?" But that's fine! โ
Blinking at Yan, who had been silently drinking tea and watching the play, Gu Youlan flicked her cuffs and said indifferently: "I came here today as a Dan Master!" โ
Actually, there was nothing wrong with what Gu Youlan said, but to everyone present, she felt that there were a lot of problems in and out of her words.
"What is the purpose of her here today? Could it be that she has been here before? โ
"As a Dan Master? The implication is that she has other identities? โ
"Oh my God, her other identities, is she really the future princess of the second prince?"
"No, if she is the future princess of the second prince, why is she with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The hearts of the ministers, who had never been calm, were instantly stirred up by Gu Youlan's words, and their thoughts overflowed.
And Yan, who was silent on the side, heard Gu Youlan's words, and suddenly laughed in her heart: "This girl, I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic, as soon as this sentence comes out, it is difficult for this Duanmu country to be calm, it seems that her heart of wanting to be a fisherman is really going to come true!" โ
Thinking of this, Yan continued to use his spiritual power to burn the teapot that could never be dried, and drank the tea gracefully.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Empress Dowager of Baili Country, as we all know, she is a five-grade senior alchemist, and today she was invited to treat her father!"
"Oh......" As soon as the ministers heard the prince's words, they immediately nodded in understanding, and they all nodded at Gu Youlan happily. It seems that with the appearance of Gu Youlan, the old emperor will be able to get rid of the lesion from now on and turn into an immortal to live forever.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what the crown prince and brother said is right, and Empress Youlan is still the king's favorite candidate for the princess!"
Duanmu Qinghe saw the worship and respect of the ministers for Gu Youlan, and immediately knew that her existence was of great significance to whether he could earn the throne, so he once again confirmed his determination to take her for himself in his heart.
"Oh......" The ministers nodded again when they heard the words of the second prince, but their "oh" was obviously completely different from the one they had just heard when they knew that Gu Youlan was the empress of the Baili Kingdom.
Because at the national power competition that just ended, the entire continent not only knew that the empress of Baili Country was not only a veritable five-grade senior alchemist, but also had one more conversation point for everyone to chat after dinner, that is, the prince of Qi Yueguo wanted to seek Baili Youlan, but in the end he worshipped him and concluded Jinlan, not becoming a husband and wife, but becoming a brother.
The moral triggered from this conversation immediately made everyone in the world know that the empress and empress of Baili Country is not something that ordinary people can ask to marry, and no one is qualified to compare with her.
At this moment, Duanmu Qinghe suddenly said that Baili Youlan was his long-desired candidate for the princess, and the sound of "oh" from all the ministers implied a lot of meaning.
There are those who don't believe it at all, there are those who mock, there are those who watch the excitement, and of course, there are those who sigh for it......
I have to say that the two princes of Duanmu Country are very smart, because on the road of competing for imperial power, they first chose to cooperate with Gu Youlan.
But Duanmu Qinghe's approach was very radical, and it deeply touched Gu Youlan and Yan's bottom line, but Duanmu Qingyun was different, he chose affection, he knew how to take advantage of opportunities, and when he first met Gu Youlan, he was very smart and performed a scene of love at first sight with Baili Xiangxue.
Therefore, from the moment Duanmu Qinghe used the plaice to approach Gu Youlan, his end was doomed, but Duanmu Qingyun knew the true meaning of the four words of self-knowledge.
