Chapter 716: The Calm Before the Storm
"Queen Mother, I beg you, I have never begged you for anything before, and I have never thought of competing with you for the position of queen, I beg you for the sake of us once standing on the united front, for the sake of the concubines helping you deal with Queen Shen, let me meet the emperor, I really miss him." When Concubine Chen talked about emotion, she cried.
Or she really has love for the emperor, unlike Ye Anran, she is really just by the emperor's side.
"In that case, well, this palace will not stop you." Seeing Concubine Chen's sincere plea, Ye Anran thought to herself that anyway, now that the city gate has been blocked, no one can get out, so he doesn't care if Concubine Chen goes to see the emperor or not.
After hearing this, Concubine Chen frequently kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you for the grace of the queen." ”
Outside the Golden Dragon Palace
Concubine Chen came in an orange and yellow dress, and just wanted to go in, but was stopped by the wind.
"Concubine Chen, please stay."
"Hurricane, this palace wants to see the emperor." Concubine Chen's eyes were filled with sincerity and longing.
"Niangniang, please go back, the emperor is in a bad mood, he has already made an edict, and he doesn't see anyone." Swift Wind categorically refused.
"Please tell the emperor, I really miss him." Concubine Chen seemed unwilling.
"Concubine Chen, now, don't pretend, you are not a good person, if you and the queen joined forces to do evil, how could the emperor end up in today's field, and now you want to cry and fake mercy?" Swift Wind scolded unceremoniously.
"Hurricane, this palace didn't have it, and it was because of ...... when I joined forces with the queen?" Before Concubine Chen's words were finished, she was blasted out by the wind.
"Niangniang should go, these explanations of yours are useless, I don't want to hear it, and the emperor doesn't want to hear it, with my wind here, no one wants to hurt the emperor." When Tempest said this, his heart was very uncomfortable.
Last night, after the emperor and Ye Anran talked, the emperor came back without saying a word, began to drink, drank until dawn, and then fell drunk on the dragon bed, the wind knew that although the emperor didn't say anything, he must have been heartbroken by Ye Anran.
"That'...... Well, then the palace will come to visit the emperor another day. "Concubine Chen wanted to see the emperor with good intentions, but she was helplessly stopped by the wind, so she went back to Ganlu Palace first and waited for news.
Everything seems to be calm in the palace, but the calm is a little weird, it seems to be the calm before the storm.
Outside the palace
The three kings competed for hegemony, Xigong Lonely and Xigong Jin joined forces to suppress the power of Xigong Jue, although they were numerous, but they were obviously a little powerless.
The reason is very simple, because Xigong Jue has a secret weapon here, and it is extremely powerful.
Inside the main camp
Xigong Lonely was a little anxious: "General Jing, how did you do it, there are so many of us, why can't we beat his people, Xigong Jue hasn't made a move in person, we have already lost our troops and collapsed, how can we get it like this?" ”
"His Royal Highness King Huai, you don't know, according to the report of my subordinates, there are many masters of the rivers and lakes on the side of King Ruian, and they are like hemp, they are each one against a hundred, it is very terrifying, our soldiers are a little timid, if it goes on like this, we will be finished, you still have to think of other ways." Jing Wuxian is also very anxious.
"Jianghu master? When did this Xigong Jue cultivate the power of the rivers and lakes, why don't I know? "Xigong Lonely thinks that he is well-informed, but he doesn't know anything about the affairs of Xigong Jue's mother, so naturally even if he misses this fast, he suffers a dumb loss.
"What's going on over there, what's Zhao Lengyun's attitude?" Xigong asked coldly.
"General Zhao's side...... He doesn't seem to have thought about it yet, although he is also resisting Xigong Jue, but he doesn't seem to be doing his best, maybe he still wants to find reinforcements. Jing Wuxian thought that he knew Zhao Lengyun very well, so he figured out his current mood.
"Didn't Nishiki arrest his wife? He still dares to act rashly? Nishinomiya was a little puzzled.
"Your Royal Highness King Huai, don't you know, Zhao Lengyun is very patriotic, and he is more loyal to the court and the emperor, once the national interests and personal interests conflict, I think...... He may well choose to kill his relatives in righteousness. Jing Wuxian said slowly.
"If that's the case, it's terrible, when his uncle comes back, Bianjing will be even more chaotic, in this way, you take people to block the city gate first, and no one is allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to come in, so that Zhao Lengyun's side can drag on for a while." Xigong Lonely commanded.
"Well, what about you, Your Highness? What's next? Jing Wuxian asked cautiously.
"This king will enter the palace early tomorrow morning and get the ministers to the court, the time has come, and the queen and I should stage a big show." Nishinomiya smiled coldly.
"What's the show?" Jing Wuxian was a little puzzled.
"Jointly force the palace, pass it on to me." Xigong Lonely raised the corners of his mouth and said slowly.
Xigong Lonely's Spring and Autumn Dream has officially kicked off, he wants to be the emperor so much, and now as long as he gets the Xigong Jue, everything is close at hand.
In Bianjing City, everyone now has their own thoughts......
Ye Anran is looking forward to revenge, Xigong is looking forward to ascending the throne, the emperor is looking forward to Ye Anran's change of heart, Xigong Jue is looking forward to Shen Bilan not committing suicide, Xigong Jin is looking forward to Xiaorong giving himself the antidote in time, Xiaorong is looking forward to Ye Anran being safe and sound, and Zhao Lengyun only hopes that the emperor can keep the country, and even more hopes that his wife will be fine.
Early the next morning
The palace gate was still blocked, and Xigong Lonely sent people to secretly take the ministers into the palace, just to stage a big drama with Ye Anran.
Above the court, Ye Anran was dressed in a golden robe and wore a golden crown of nine phoenixes, still full of nobility and strong aura.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this palace is looking for you today, actually...... It's to discuss the heir to the throne, and now the emperor is seriously ill and can't be in the last dynasty, and the country can't be without a king for a day, this is not wrong at all, this palace feels that everyone is the same as this palace, and you are worried about the country in the same heart, right? Ye Anran said such thought-provoking words at the beginning.
Immediately, someone stood up against it, it was still Prime Minister Ning, and he was still quick to speak......
"Queen Mother, now that the situation is chaotic, it is the best strategy for everyone to join forces to fight against King Ryan."
"Prime Minister, you have also seen that now the power of King Ruian should not be underestimated, and suppressing him is not an overnight thing, now the palace is leaderless, and the emperor cannot go to court, so naturally he has to choose a capable person, yesterday ...... The palace went to visit the emperor, and the emperor made it clear between the lines that he wanted to let ...... His Royal Highness King Huai took over this great task. Glancing at Xigong Lonely not far away, Ye Anran said slowly.
After hearing this, the audience was in an uproar again......
Xigong Lonely took over the throne, very suddenly, and there are some unjustifications, after all, he is under the Xigong Jue, and after the emperor, he is the biggest Xigong Jue, and he has been fighting and killing outside for so many years. In terms of the back of the family background, it is not as prominent as King Heng, and King Heng has an uncle surnamed Wang.
Therefore, the point of view put forward by Ye Anran is obviously a bit unsatisfactory......
But most of the old ministers saw the clues, and the queen mother was obviously partial to His Royal Highness King Huai, so in order to protect herself, she didn't dare to say anything against it, but just pretended to be deaf and dumb on the side.
