Chapter 296: The Prince's Identity
Hearing the movement outside the door, the people in the room were a little stunned.
There was nothing knocking on the door, but this "Chenyi" made several people a little frightened.
This is tart snow, and it is really not a simple matter for someone to call Chen Yi's name.
However, since people had already called him by his name, Chen Yi had no reason to hide anymore, but after hesitating for a while, he stepped forward and opened the door.
Outside the door, there was a strange person standing, he saw Chen Yi who opened the door stunned for a moment, although he hesitated, and asked, "Are you, Chen Yi?" β
Chen Yi didn't speak, but pulled the person outside the door in, and then quickly closed the door.
"Who are you, what are you doing here to find Chenyi!" Xiang Ling saw that the person was dragged into the house by Chen Yi, and immediately stepped forward to ask.
"I, I'm just here to deliver the message!" The man trembled, and watched as everyone stared at him, and his words were almost out of order.
"Deliver a message, a message." Chen Yi walked up to the man and said with a cold face.
"There is a person who said that he was your senior brother, and asked the little one to come to you and say that something happened to Huachen, so let you go back as soon as possible."
Something happened to Huachen?
Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, and then remembered that yesterday, Shangguan Yunrui left in a hurry.
Could it be that he went back because Huachen had an accident?
"Something's wrong, what's wrong!" Xiang Ling was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"Small, small I don't know, the person with the letter only asked me to bring such a sentence, and I don't know anything else." The man looked frightened, for fear that he would accidentally provoke the group of people in front of him who were eyeing him.
"Let him go!" Chen Yi knew that Shangguan Yunrui asked someone to bring a letter to him, and he would definitely not easily inform the person with the letter of what happened, this person should be telling the truth.
When the man heard Chenyi's words, he hurried away with his head down as if he had received a holy decree.
"Let's go back." Watching that person leave, Chen Yi thought for a while and said lightly.
Xiang Ling nodded, Du Kang and Liu Jing also nodded, only Zhou Su, but he didn't seem to react, and after a long time, he said leisurely, "You go back first, I have to go and bring Xue Xue back." β
"Xue Xue?" Hearing Xue Xue's name, Xiang Lingcai suddenly reacted, yes, Zhou Su said that Xue Xue was watching Ye Lufeng's movements in the Tart Snow Palace, but when Du Kang and Liu Jing came back last time, why didn't Xue Xue come back?
"It has other things, so it has to stay here, Huachen's side, I can't help much, so you better go by yourself." Zhou Su said lightly.
"In that case, let's go first." Regarding Zhou Su's different trips, Chen Yi did not keep it, but just asked Xiang Ling to pack up some salutes and set off an hour later.
Xiang Ling agreed, and began to pack her luggage sullenly, I don't know why, Xiang Ling always felt that there seemed to be something different about Chen Yi, but she couldn't think of it.
Several people's feet were very fast, because they had something in their hearts, so they were all in a hurry, and they almost didn't stop much on the way back to Huachen from Tart.
It's just that after arriving in Huachen's territory, several people found out that Huachen really had a big incident.
The emperor of Huachen is gone.
This news caught several people off guard, and they heard the people who passed by say that the emperor was because he worked hard day and night before he finally fell ill and died.
However, Xiang Ling does not believe this statement, from a historical point of view, even if the emperor dies of some hidden diseases, or some things that are not enough for outsiders, the official will say that the emperor died of exhaustion, so Xiang Ling is skeptical about the news of the emperor's death.
And Du Kang and Liu Jing are relatively more relaxed, because they know that this world is just written by Xiang Ling, and the so-called emperor is just a character, and it has nothing to do with them at all.
The only person who cares about this news is only one person, Chen Yi.
Chen Yi's life experience, here is a brief introduction, he is the current emperor's son, that is, the mother of the former emperor * Chen Yi gave birth to Chen Yi, that is to say, Chen Yi, to some extent, is a prince of Huachen, but this prince cannot be said by outsiders. And now the dead emperor is Chen Yi's brother.
Chen Yi's mother has passed away when he was still an infant, and his biological father and his adoptive father have also passed away, that is to say, the emperor of the dead Huachen is Chen Yi's only relative in this world, and now, when he was reborn in this world, his only relative also died, this news, for Chen Yi, has to be said to be a bolt from the blue.
Chen Yi's thoughts, Xiang Ling knew, seeing the sadness emanating from Chen Yi's body, Xiang Ling felt the same way.
Therefore, on the way to Kyoto, Xiang Ling avoided talking about the emperor, but chatted with Chen Yi about some irrelevant and even some boring jokes, wanting to make Chen Yi's heart better.
Chen Yi naturally knew that Xiang Ling was trying his best to make himself happy, but at this time, he really couldn't let go, so Chen Yi could only respond with an embarrassing smile to Xiang Ling's deliberate funny.
It's just that even if it's not a smile from the heart, it's enough for Xiang Ling.
A few people walked unhurriedly, and when they were about to arrive in Kyoto, Shangguan Yunrui sent someone to pick them up.
"What are you going to do?" After a few people arrived at the Wulin League, Shangguan Yunrui didn't bother much, and directly asked Chen Yi straight to the point.
Chen Yi raised his head and looked at Shangguan Yunrui inexplicably, not knowing the meaning of his words.
"You should know that the emperor has no heirs!"
No heirs?
The meaning of these four words surprised Xiang Ling.
If the emperor has no heirs, then Huachen's only qualified candidate to take over as the lord of the country is Chen Yi?
"What does that have to do with me!" Chen Yi is leisurely, and the whole person has no trace of brilliance.
"How can it not be related to you!" Shangguan Yunrui sighed and said, "At the beginning, I kept preventing you from entering the official mansion because you are a wooden person, and you will definitely be hurt in the officialdom, how the emperor used you and framed you at that time is a good example, but this time is different." You have to enter the palace! β
"What am I going to do in the palace!" Chen Yi asked knowingly, because in his heart, he was resisting Shangguan Yunrui's decision.
"Chen Yi, I know what you're thinking, if it was before, even if you wanted to go, even if I tied you, I would have tied you here and wouldn't let you enter the palace, but now it's different, the emperor is dead, if you don't enter the palace, the palace will be chaotic, the palace will be in chaos, and Tart Xue can take advantage of the situation to enter the palace, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
"I'm just an illegitimate child, and no one will admit my existence."
"There is a person who can and can talk!"
"Who!"
"Princess Jinghua!"
When Shangguan Yunrui said the words Princess Jinghua in his mouth, Xiang Ling and Chen Yi were stunned at the same time.
"Princess Jinghua has been in the palace, he has been eight months pregnant, and he will be in labor soon, and everyone in the palace knows that the flesh and blood in Princess Jinghua's belly are yours, and when you enter the palace at this time, Jinghua will be the first to come out to prove your identity." The situation was urgent, and Shangguan Yunrui didn't want to go around the bend, so he directly said his thoughts.
"But, I ---" Chen Yi still had some doubts, Princess Jinghua, his own flesh and blood, these two, he didn't want to face, and now, in addition to these two, he even had to face the throne, something he had always hated.
"Chenyi, I know you don't want to, but right now, you have to start from the overall situation, you also know that I, as a person, can't get used to those red tape, as well as the faint secrets of the palace, but for the stability of Huachen, no matter how unwilling you are, you must take this errand."
"The battle in the palace has always been a deception, the emperor has no heirs, maybe some people deliberately did it, now, finally the emperor is dead, how can those who are secretly doing things so easily let Chen Yi enter the palace and rob them of the throne they have been coveting!" Xiang Ling didn't want Chen Yi to leave, let alone be an emperor.
"Of course I know that Chen Yi is going, and it will definitely not be smooth, but don't forget, I am the deputy leader of this martial arts league, and Chen Yi is the leader of the martial arts league, in the palace, we have the power of Jinghua, outside, with our martial arts league as the backing, Chen Yi is going, I am absolutely sure."
"But ---" Xiang Ling wanted to say something.
"Iβinto the palace!" Chen Yi hesitated for a long time, and finally interrupted Xiang Ling's words.
"Chen Yi ----" Xiang Ling was a little disappointed, although he knew that for the sake of the overall situation, Chen Yi would definitely obey Shangguan Yunrui's words, but she didn't expect that Chen Yi would accept it so quickly.
"Since it's decided, let's make a quick decision, tonight, I'll arrange some things, and tomorrow, we'll enter the palace." Shangguan Yunrui struck while the iron was hot, and before Chen Yi changed his mind, he slapped the board.
Xiang Ling glanced at Chen Yi complicatedly, looking at his face full of loneliness, and his heart was panched.
Why, the people you like always have to face some people you don't want to face, and do something you don't want to do?
This night, everyone was on their minds.
Du Kang and Liu Jing, the two of them were together, relatively speechless, they thought of Xiang Ling, and thought of what Xiang Ling was going to face, the princess Jinghua and her belly, Chen Yi's flesh and bones.
The relationship between Xiang Ling and Chen Yi, both of them know it, with Xiang Ling's temperament, knowing that Princess Jinghua has Chen Yi's flesh and blood, she will definitely choose to leave Chen Yi, but such a decision is such an unacceptable thing for her, after all, between her and Chen Yi, how many lives and deaths have been experienced, how can this relationship be easily abandoned.
When Du Kang and Liu Jing were worried about Xiang Ling, Chen Yi had been standing at Xiang Ling's door, Xiang Ling was on the bed, tossing and turning, and Chen Yi held the hand that was about to knock on the door, and it didn't fall for a long time.
