Chapter 331: Prelude to the Coming Storm

When Yanyu returned to the General's Mansion and recognized his mother-in-law Yuan Xunshuang and Yuan Feng, he lived in the General's Mansion with peace of mind as Yuan Zhen'er, the daughter of Yuan Feng's illegitimate son.

Of course, after the morning of the next day, the general Yuan Feng went to the study of the Holy Emperor without regrets, knelt on the ground, and made a storm in the city with his own misconduct, and it was rumored that he had another illegitimate child to ask the Holy Lord for his guilt, and told the Holy Lord that his illegitimate son had died on the battlefield, but left a daughter, that is, his granddaughter Yuan Zhen'er, who had been taken into his mansion to live with him.

also informed Shengshang by the way that the daughter who disappeared that year, that is, the daughter born to his concubine, Yuan Xunshuang, also returned to the General's Mansion and lived with him.

At the same time, he also told the truth about the ugly things in the family, that is, what his wife did on behalf of the real county lord back then, and also implored the saint to surrender his sin.

He hoped that the Holy Lord could punish him however he wanted, but he begged to spare his family, that is, his daughter Yuan Xunshuang and granddaughter Yuan Zhen'er. Because these two children are his only relatives in the world, they are also innocent, as long as they can be exchanged for their peace, even if the saint executes him, he has no regrets.

Jun Wuregret listened to the general's request to plead him to surrender, he also laughed, he didn't think that this was a big deal, once the general was loyal to the country, the world could learn from it, and he couldn't bear to punish him for this little thing. Moreover, what the Daizhen County Lord did was purely a personal act, and did not represent the position of the great general Yuan Feng, and the general was also deeply affected by it, how could the Holy Lord, who had always been fair, have no regrets about the great general Yuan Feng?

The second came from General Yuan Feng's wife on behalf of the real county lord betrayed the Jun royal family, and forced Yuan Feng's favorite concubine, that is, Yuan Xunshuang's mother, and drove away Yuan Feng's only daughter, Yuan Xunshuang, who was only eight years old at the time, at midnight in the wind and snow.

Now it is not easy to wait for his long-lost daughter Yuan Xunshuang and granddaughter Yuan Zhen'er to return to him alive, and Jun Wu, who has always been benevolent, naturally does not want to hold the general Yuan Feng accountable for any fault.

On the contrary, he affirmed the general's loyalty to the Jun royal family, so not only did he not condemn the general Yuan Feng, but also stood up, deliberately walked to Yuan Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, helped him up with his own hands, and solemnly told Yuan Feng a holy decree that had not yet been announced to the public.

That is, he plans to officially announce to the world tomorrow morning, he will abdicate in a month, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take over the throne, and he plans to travel the world with the spirit card of the queen mother, and become the emperor of idle clouds and wild cranes, and by the way, he will fulfill the promise he promised the queen mother Nalan Qiqing to travel all over the Liansheng country together.

He also told the general Yuan Feng that he trusted him the most, and when the time came, the holy decree would officially announce that the general Yuan Feng was the head of the auxiliary ministers who assisted the new emperor to ascend the throne, and had absolute power over life and death, and at the same time was in charge of the supreme military power of the entire Liansheng Kingdom.

In a critical situation for the country, ministers or members of the royal family who have dissenting intentions and intend to rebel have the right to cut off the ministers or members of the royal family first.

And entrusted Yuan Feng with full authority for the safety of the new emperor, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and hoped that he would continue to support the Jun royal family as always, and help the Jun royal family defend this hard-won Liansheng country.

The general Yuan Feng was also taken aback by this, he never expected that the saint would not only not blame him, but also entrust him with a heavy responsibility, which could not help but make him very moved, and also strengthened his determination to swear allegiance to the Jun royal family.

When he returned to the General's Mansion again and told his daughter Yuan Xunshuang of the Shengshang's decision, as well as his granddaughter Yanyu, who was the new granddaughter Yuan Zhen'er, they were also surprised.

They also didn't expect that the Holy Lord would take the initiative to abdicate and let Jun Buyu ascend the throne, especially for the matter of His Majesty's entrustment of the general Yuan Feng as the head of the auxiliary minister, they also felt as deeply responsible as Yuan Feng.

Because they all know that this seemingly peaceful imperial city and palace is actually surging in the dark tide, once Jun Wuregret really leaves the palace and travels all over the world, those who have coveted the throne for a long time will be ready to move, and begin to secretly deal with Jun Buyu, who has not yet gained a firm foothold, and take this country for himself.

At that time, he, the head of the auxiliary ministers who helped the new emperor not to ascend the throne, will definitely be a thorn in the side of these dark forces, and become the first confidant to get rid of.

Moreover, the enemy is clear and I am secret, Yuan Feng and Yanyu, their mother and daughter, all know that tomorrow morning the pilgrimage to the monarch has no regrets, once this holy decree is officially announced, this great general's mansion will inevitably become the first assassination mansion in the future.

Especially after the abdication, after the emperor left the palace without regrets, those dark forces will attack the general's palace unscrupulously, as long as this auxiliary minister who holds military power is eliminated, the remaining ministers will not be troubled.

So Yuan Feng understands that from tomorrow onwards, he will have to live on thin ice step by step. Otherwise, if there is a slight mistake, it will bring ruin to the entire Great General's Mansion.

That night, Yuan Feng and Yuan Xunshuang, as well as Yan Yu, tossed and turned all night, and they couldn't sleep peacefully, because they knew that this night was probably the only peaceful night for them, and after the promulgation of the Holy Decree of the Emperor without Regrets tomorrow, it would probably not be an easy thing to sleep peacefully.

Fortunately, the general Yuan Feng is also deeply loved by the soldiers, and the Imperial Forest Army currently guarding the General's Mansion are Yuan Feng's most loyal subordinates, and they are all agile, with one as ten, even if the General's Mansion is surrounded by a large army, these guards will not flee for their lives, but live and die with the general.

And the general Yuan Feng usually takes great care of the people in the rivers and lakes, especially the heroes of the rivers and lakes with a sense of justice, they are all his close friends, and he has also secretly received different degrees of favor from the general Yuan Feng, as well as helping each other, so between Yuan Feng and these heroes in the rivers and lakes, in addition to learning martial arts, they often drink and talk happily, and they belong to confidants with similar temperaments.

For these heroes to be troubled by corrupt officials, and even when they encounter a life and death crisis, he will secretly help resolve it, and in the process of defending the imperial city, he encountered a particularly difficult case, and when the government is inconvenient to investigate openly, he will also entrust the well-known heroes to help him secretly investigate, so over time, he has also formed a deep friendship with a group of heroes in the rivers and lakes.

These heroes also spontaneously and secretly protected the General's Mansion, and some even preferred to be a gardener or a family member in the General's Mansion, but also to repay the General Yuan Feng for his kindness to them.

Therefore, the general Yuan Feng was not particularly worried that his general's mansion would be easily attacked, but he was worried about the loyal ministers and important ministers of the court who were dedicated to the country, after all, those forces with ill intentions would also choose to attack them, and it was also his unshirkable responsibility to protect the ministers of the entire imperial city.

And the huge palace is also full of dangers, and it also falls under his jurisdiction.

Although the heavily guarded palace will not be easily infiltrated by thieves, it is inevitable that there will still be people with different intentions and unscrupulous means, and it is often impossible to give someone a fatal blow when everyone relaxes their vigilance the most, or even attack the royal members.

Since ancient times, there have been many concubines in this palace, and there are more rights and wrongs, in order to compete for favor, they have also tried their best to deceive and intrigue with me, and even collude with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and divide into various factions to fight for life and death, which is also a common thing.

Therefore, the general Yuan Feng knows that he must be comprehensive, not only the entire imperial city must be guarded, but even in the palace, it is also necessary to install confidants, pay attention to the every move of those restless people at any time, take precautions, and always control all kinds of crises within the scope of his control, otherwise the world will be in chaos.

Because it is impossible for him to fight against those dark forces alone, he also thought about it for a night, and gradually had his own ideas in his heart, and next, it was to implement it step by step, before the new emperor did not meet the throne, and before the emperor left the palace without regrets, he had to take various countermeasures to ensure the completion of the holy trust to him.

At the same time, Yuan Xunshuang also thought for a long time, that is, she also had to do something for her father, she decided to contact her aunt Princess Yuanfeng as soon as possible, so that the people of the golden-crowned black-tailed frog clan who stayed in the Lotus Country would also become a mysterious force guarding the Lotus Kingdom, and they could appear if necessary to help Yuan Feng deal with various sudden crises.

After all, the people of the Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog clan all have special abilities that ordinary people do not have, and they are hidden as strange soldiers, and they will definitely let the dark forces that dare to endanger the Lotus Kingdom get the punishment they deserve one day in the future.

And Yanyu also thought about a lot of possibilities, she knew that she had to do something to share some pressure for her grandfather as much as possible, otherwise it would be difficult for her grandfather to confront those dark forces on his own.

But fortunately, Yanyu still treasures the mask of the goddess Empress Dowager, and at a critical juncture, she can also use this supreme identity and power to help Wai Gong Feng resolve various crises that may arise in the Lotus Kingdom.

Especially the crisis of the harem, it is more prudent for her, the goddess and empress, to deal with it more securely, after all, the current harem queen mother has died, and the goddess empress dowager has disappeared again, which can be regarded as a leaderless state.

However, once Jun Wuregret relinquishes the throne, those concubines in the harem will also fade out of the harem with Jun Wuregret's abdication, because it is meaningless for them to fight for power and profit.

In the future, the harem will start a national draft because of the new emperor's accession to the throne, and it won't be long before new concubines will appear, and these concubines will start a new round of palace fighting because of the competition for favor.

Thinking that after Jun Buyu ascended the throne, it wouldn't be long before there would be three thousand beauties in the harem, and Yanyu was also a little helpless.

However, she knows that this is an unchangeable reality, after all, the royal family has been like this since ancient times, and only a large number of concubines can make the royal successor have a successor, and the best one can be selected from many princes as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inherit this great country in the future.

It's just that Yanyu is suddenly a little dazed, that is, what will she do in the future?

Do you want to stay in the General's Palace? Or find a way to enter the palace to protect Jun Buyu, because only she knows that Jun Buyu is actually the holy monarch of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom, and she is the saint of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom, and she is destined to be a natural pair.

Of course, she hopes that one day, she can evoke all the memories of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom that Jun Bu has met, and then leave the Lotus Immortal Kingdom hand in hand, go to the Lotus Immortal Kingdom, expose the conspiracy of that good sister in person, regain her own Holy Monarch, and then start a happy life for the two of them.

However, Yanyu is particularly resistant to entering the palace, she doesn't want to compete with those harem beauties all day long, and finally turns herself into an unscrupulous woman.

But the question is, will she be able to choose her future life......
