General Wu did soon find out that the second prince had run away, so he hurriedly took a few cronies and hurried back to the capital, and rushed all the way into the palace.

When General Wu arrived at the gate of the palace, there were already guards waiting for General Wu, and Xue Zhonglin was also holding the new emperor's holy decree in his hand.

When General Wu saw it, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground respectfully.

Xue Zhonglin said: "General Wu has worked hard, General Wu has fought against the thieves, and it is a pity that he can't personally participate in the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, but General Wu, please rest assured, the enthronement ceremony is very smooth, and the guards also captured the second prince who wanted to break into the palace just now." ”

When General Wu heard this, it turned out that the second prince had been caught, which was really thrilling and relieved.

Xue Zhonglin has a holy decree in his hand, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he thanked General Wu for his escort all the way, so he was the first to praise General Wu, and the rewards of gold, silver and jewelry were naturally a lot, and he also awarded General Wu a title, which can be described as a step to the sky.

General Wu did not doubt him, and he didn't know that it was not the Nine Princes who were now on the throne, so he immediately received the decree and thanked the emperor.

Xue Zhonglin smiled slightly and said, "General Wu, please, Your Majesty specially asked people to prepare a feast, and invited General Wu to drink a cup." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the humble general is terrified." General Wu said.

General Wu followed Xue Zhonglin into the palace and was taken to change first, so as not to lose his honor in front of the holy driver. Then they were taken to a palace, which was already full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Xue Zhonglin said that His Majesty had just ascended the throne and was too busy, so he had to reward General Wu with a banquet, and he couldn't come over to dine with General Wu in person.

Where did General Wu dare to let the new emperor come over to accompany him, and immediately knelt down to thank him.

Xue Zhonglin finished his errand, left the palace, walked out and looked back, and ordered the guards to guard outside, not allowing General Wu to step out of the palace gate, and then left in a hurry.

It's already past dinner time, but Chu Yunxi wasn't hungry just now, so dinner was moved a little later.

At this time, Chu Yunxi, Li Mu and Xue Chengfei were sitting together for dinner, and Xue Zhonglin walked in from outside and said back and forth: "General Wu has already received the order to thank him, and he has not noticed anything unusual, and now he is under house arrest in the side hall. ”

Xue Chengfei nodded, waved his hand and said, "General Xue has worked hard, let's go down and rest first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xue Zhonglin said.

Chu Yunxi said: "In this way, everything will be complete, General Wu has already received the order of thanksgiving, and he has also made a marquis, and the minister next to him will hear the news for a while, and he will think about it carefully, and what to do in the future." ”

Xue Chengfei, who had been missing for two years, suddenly appeared and inherited the throne in one fell swoop, catching all the ministers off guard. Although Xue Chengfei is indeed the most authentic royal bloodline, many ministers are not convinced, Xue Chengfei is just a child, and his foundation is unstable, and most of them look down on him.

Many ministers are thinking at this time that Xue Chengfei will definitely not be able to sit on the throne, and he may be pushed off the throne in two or three days, and his life will be guaranteed. The ministers were worried and wavering, considering whether to find a backer while they still had time, so that they could have a guarantee in the future.

Now those who really want to follow Xue Chengfei can count it on one hand, which is absolutely not possible. It is necessary to get the support of most ministers quickly, otherwise it will definitely make them very tired if they can't keep anyone sneaking around.

General Wu's prestige in the court is not low, and as soon as Chu Yunxi and Li Mu put it together, they decided to use General Wu as a cover.

General Wu didn't know that it was Xue Chengfei who ascended the throne, not the Nine Princes, so he didn't doubt him, and happily accepted the holy decree.

Except for General Wu, everyone knows that it is an emperor who has ascended the throne now. Soon everyone will hear the news that General Wu has been made a marquis, so everyone will think that General Wu is on the emperor's side and will definitely not be able to escape.

General Wu has a very high reputation, it is like a weather vane, everyone sees that he has submitted to the emperor, and there will definitely be other people who will soon become grass on the wall, and they will also submit to Xue Chengfei together.

Chu Yunxi said: "Now don't let General Wu know anything, don't let him run away, that's bad." ”

Li Mu said: "Yunxi rest assured, Chengfei has already sent the banquet over, and your jar of good wine has also been sent over." ”

General Wu had just calmed down the thrilling turmoil, and he was promoted to become rich, and the excitement in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time, and he didn't feel hungry, but now he especially wanted to drink a lot of wine, and when he saw that there was wine on the table, he naturally picked up the wine jar and opened it to smell it.

It was a good old wine, and General Wu immediately drank it in a big gulp, and he didn't notice that some ingredients were added to it.

There was a "pop" sound, and the wine jar fell to the ground, shattering one by one, and all the wine inside spilled out.

General Wu drank the wine, and suddenly fainted, and not long after, he was already lying on the table and drunk, and there was no reaction.

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "My little good thing is enough for General Wu to sleep tomorrow afternoon." ”

When General Wu woke up, it was estimated that half of the court would follow his footsteps and return to Xue Chengfei's command.

Xue Chengfei stood up at the moment, took two steps back, stood in front of Chu Yunxi and Li Mu, then lifted the hem of his clothes, and suddenly knelt down with a bend of his knees.

Chu Yunxi startled him and said, "Chengfei, what are you doing?" ”

Xue Chengfei knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to the two people, and said, "Father and Queen Mother have no way to repay Chengfei's life-saving grace and regeneration." ”

Chu Yunxi smiled and said, "It's so serious, it almost scared me, just get up first." ”

Li Mu gently supported Chengfei's arm and helped him up.

Chu Yunxi said: "In the future, Cheng Fei will be alone in Xue Kingdom, His Majesty and I will soon return to Dali, and after we leave, Cheng Fei can think of us from time to time, it is enough." ”

Xue Chengfei said: "Chengfei doesn't dare to forget his mother, he must always keep it in mind." ”

When Li Mu heard this, he interjected and said, "There is no need for it all the time. "Sounds weird and sour.

Chu Yunxi glared at Li Mu and said, "Your Majesty, are you telling a cold joke?" ”

Li Mu held Chu Yunxi's hand and said, "How can I be making a cold joke, obviously so serious. I am always thinking about Yunxi, and Yunxi is still not satisfied? ”

Chu Yunxi said in his heart that Li Mu didn't tell cold jokes, and began to talk about love again, and there was a Cheng Fei next to him, and he didn't feel shameless and skinless.
