The five princes read out the emperor's edict in public.

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the Xiangyun Palace.

In the edict, the emperor actually passed the throne to the five princes in front of him...... The ministers couldn't help but look at each other.

After reading the edict, the fifth prince turned to look at the regent Feng Duhan sitting on the dragon chair in the hall again, but saw that he was expressionless, looking at himself as if he was watching a play.

"Wind and twilight cold ......" the five princes almost gritted their teeth, squeezing out these words from between their teeth, "The holy purpose is this, you still don't quickly accept the order?" ”

Twilight sat motionless, "Holy Decree? When did the emperor make an edict, and why has the king never heard of it? ”

The ministers talked about it in private, Feng Duhan was the most trusted favorite minister around the emperor, if even he didn't know about the edict, then the edict in the hands of the five princes ...... It's really suspicious.

"Bold! How dare you doubt the emperor's edict! The fifth prince shouted, pointing at Feng Duhan with his hand: "Don't think I don't know your mind, you have also peeped at this throne for a long time, don't you want this son?" He raised the edict in his hand and smiled coldly, "The wind is cold, I'm afraid that this time, you will be disappointed." ”

The phoenix's eyes drooped slightly, and the golden dragon embroidered on the brocade robe reflected his demonic face, which was a little more fierce and noble than usual.

"That...... It was taught to you by the person behind your back, right? He said quietly, his tone unfazed.

The fifth prince was secretly shocked in his heart, but he sneered on his face: "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Twilight suddenly raised her eyes and swept towards him, throwing out a sentence, "The arrow wound in your back is so good?" ”

The fifth prince couldn't help choking, he could hear the implication of these words: You healed so quickly that the scar forgot the pain?

All the ministers gathered together, with different expressions.

At times like these, their choices can sometimes determine their own life and death.

If they choose the wrong person and stand on the wrong team, they will usually die a miserable death, and their families will also suffer, so they all wait and see how the situation changes, and they do not immediately support him as emperor as the five princes imagined.

"Sure enough, the regent is also interested in this son." Seeing this situation, the fifth prince couldn't help sneering, "Fortunately, the emperor has already prepared, in case you are a rebel, he has issued an order to summon the regent princess to bring her daughter into the palace, and the queen mother wants to see her." ”

Twilight's eyes shrank suddenly.

The fifth prince said proudly: "As long as the regent honestly does your duty as a courtier, after I settle the affairs in the palace, I will reunite your husband and wife." ”

As they spoke, hundreds of horsemen appeared outside the hall, surrounding the Xiangyun Palace.

The ministers were shocked.

Feng Duhan suddenly chuckled silently, "Your Royal Highness is really a good strategy, but you also underestimate this king." ”

The fifth prince looked at him proudly, "I don't know what other means the regent has, take it out for me to see." ”

"Who do you think this king is?" The wind and twilight were cold, and the slender fingers swept over the neckline of the embroidered gold thread, and only then did someone notice that there was a woman's hairpin pinned there.

Feng Duhan gently rubbed the hairpin, and a light smile spread out of his eyes, "Who do you think the woman of this king is?" You know the weakness of this king, but there is one thing you don't know......"

The fifth prince stared at him, "What do you mean?" ”

Feng Duhan took off the hosta flower-shaped hairpin and put it close to his lips, and a beautiful smile escaped from his cold face, "This king's weakness is also the king's greatest help." ”

At the same time, outside the palace, the Regent's Palace.

Ye Zhiwei had just had lunch, and suddenly saw Liu Yan hurriedly running in, and said, "Princess, someone has come to the palace, and I want you to go to the front yard to receive the order." ”

Ye Zhiwei was stunned, "Do you know who came to announce the decree?" ”

"It's Gonggong Liu." Liu Yan replied.

Ye Zhiwei sat on the edge of the bed and was about to put on her shoes, when suddenly she seemed to remember something, raised her left hand, and glanced at the black jade ring on her index finger.

"In addition to Grandpa Liu, who else is here?"

Liu Yan recalled, "There are still many palace guards, but ...... It seems that there is something special about their dress. ”

"Someone!" Ye Zhiwei decisively summoned a guard outside the courtyard, "You go to the front yard to check what people Grandpa Liu has brought to the mansion." ”

The guard went, and didn't come back much and said, "Princess, those who are not palace guards, but Xiao cavalry guards, although they are subordinate to the emperor's personal guards, they are not responsible for palace guards on weekdays......"

"How many of them came?"

"About five hundred."

Ye Zhiwei's face gradually became gloomy when she heard this.

"Princess......" Liu Yan called worriedly, "Grandpa Liu is still waiting for you to receive the order......

"This will cannot be accepted." Ye Zhiwei said word by word.

"Can't pick it up? Why? Liu Yan exclaimed, you must know that if you don't obey the order, you will be killed.

"Not only can't you pick it up...... And they can't be let go back. Ye Zhiwei's eyebrows tightened.

Liu Yan's face turned white in fright, "Princess, this ...... What's going on. ”

The guard was very calm, obviously following Feng Duhan's side before, and was used to seeing this kind of scene, "Although the princess has something to order, her subordinates must do their best to be loyal!" ”

Ye Zhiwei decisively instructed Liu Yan: "You go, take Mo Nian to your mother, no one is allowed to come to the front yard, those who violate the order will be killed with a cane!" ”

Ye Zhiwei had never given such a death order before, Liu Yan finally realized the seriousness of the matter, although she didn't know what was happening, she still ran to press the platoon quickly.

Ye Zhiwei hurriedly got up, and while asking Xiaolian to help her change her clothes, she asked the guards: "How many garrisons are there in our mansion now?" ”

"Back to the princess, there are two hundred guards."

Ye Zhiwei frowned slightly, "Divide fifty people, go out quietly from the side gate of the mansion, and stay outside the gate of the mansion, without my order, no one is allowed to leave the mansion without permission, including those Xiao cavalry guards who came today!" ”

"Yes!"

Ye Zhiwei changed her clothes and left the courtyard with Xiaolian.

Xiaolian also realized that something was wrong with the situation, and said in a low voice: "Princess, could it be that there is fraud here?" ”

Ye Zhiwei pursed her lips, "I'm still in confinement, and someone from the palace wants me to come out to receive the order, is this normal?" ”

Xiaolian shook her head again and again.

"No matter what happens, don't leave my side for a while." Ye Zhiwei advised, "Don't be afraid. ”

"The slave is not afraid, the slave will protect the princess." Xiaolian said firmly, she and Ye Zhiwei have been together for the longest time, saying that they are masters and servants, but in fact, they are not much different from sisters.

Ye Zhiwei put on a thin cloak and put a hood on her head, and then followed Xiaolian to the front yard.

From afar, I saw Gonggong Liu waiting there with someone.

The housekeeper was setting up an incense case, and the horsemen and guards were standing in the courtyard, holding the handle of the knife one by one, murderous.

Seeing Ye Zhiwei come out, Gonggong Liu barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and just wanted to step forward to meet him, only to see a person standing next to him who looked like an internal servant suddenly moved, and his sleeve seemed to lightly hit Gonggong Liu's waist.

Gonggong Liu's body immediately froze in place, and he no longer dared to lean towards Ye Zhiwei.
