Time passed slowly, and as the ceremony of worshipping the heavens gradually approached, the entire capital suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the one hand, the arrival of such a grand event as the Sacrifice to Heaven Ceremony has made the people of the entire capital fall into a kind of celebration frenzy, and even many people from other places have rushed to prepare to participate in the main hall.

But on the other hand, the court was quiet and strange, and the courtiers worked diligently every day to handle official business, and when they finished handling official business, they would immediately go home and shut up, and they rarely even gathered to eat.

This feeling is like overnight, the entire court has become a virtuous and capable official.

The liveliness of the people and the quietness of the court make people who don't know the truth inexplicable, but those who have a heart know very well why this happens.

Recently, whether it is the Prince's Mansion or the Nine Phoenix Prince's Mansion, it has been quiet and frightening.

I don't know when it started, Chu Yunxuan, the prince of Jiuhuang, disappeared from people's field of vision, and he didn't appear for more than two months, and he didn't even go to the court, which made people feel that the prince's mansion seemed to have no interest in the heavenly ceremony.

According to rumors, some people had secretly investigated the movements of the Prince's Mansion, but the only news they got was that Chu Yunxuan, the Prince of the Nine Phoenix, had been practicing in retreat, and then there was no other news.

On the other hand, the Prince's Mansion is also quiet, without any movement.

Although the crown prince is not in retreat like Prince Jiuhuang, he still handles government affairs as usual every day, and he has never delayed every time he goes to court, but unlike in the past, although the prince is also smiling, as long as he is not a fool, he can feel the attitude behind his smile, which rejects people thousands of miles away.

It was as if the crown prince had completely given up on wooing courtiers and was ready to be a low-key courtier with peace of mind.

The inexplicable silence of these two forces made everyone suddenly a little confused.

The so-called doing more and making more mistakes is the most reasonable thing for the officials, so when they can't figure out the situation, the courtiers are also cautious in their words and deeds......

In the Prince's Mansion, Chu Haoxuan sat on a chair and asked, "How is it, has Ruilin's corpse been arranged?"

"Thank you for your concern, Ruilin has already arranged it!" replied Zhenyuhou respectfully, his eyes exuding a murderous intent to the bone.

A few days ago, after he got a drop of blood from Chu Haoxuan, he rushed to the Extreme Yin Ghost Land again, wanting to find his son Nan Ruilin, but unfortunately, what he found in the end was only a corpse, and his son had already died.

"Well, that's good, according to the rules, during the ceremony, the entire dynasty is not allowed to do funerals, so Ruilin can't be buried for the time being, and after the end of the hall, the prince will personally do a beautiful aftermath for Ruilin. ”

"Prince Xie, but the matter of the funeral, I don't dare to bother the prince!"

"You are loyal to me, these are as they should be, and Ruilin died in the hands of Luo Yi, so after the sacrifice ceremony, this prince will kill Luo Yi and help Ruilin avenge!"

"The prince's great grace, the humble position will never be forgotten!"

Marquis Zhenyu seemed to be very moved: "By the way, prince, there is something I don't understand, now that Prince Jiuhuang is doomed to lose power, why don't we take the opportunity to win over the courtiers and strengthen our own power?"

"You also said that Yun Xuan is destined to lose power, that is to say, it is already certain that I will inherit the throne in the future, what good will it do me to win over the courtiers now?"

Chu Haoxuan's eyes were sharp: "I know my father very well, he can allow me and Yun Xuan to fight with each other, but he will never allow the strength of either of us to completely overwhelm the other party, what he needs is to maintain the balance of the forces of all parties in the imperial court." ”

"Think about it, after the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, Yun Xuan will be completely disqualified from competing for the throne, that is to say, she is no longer qualified to be my opponent, at this time I will continue to strengthen myself, what is that for, is it going to be against my father?"

Chu Haoxuan shook his head: "If I still go to woo the courtiers now, my father will definitely suspect that I have bad intentions and want to rebel and seize the throne, which is definitely not a good thing!"

"I see!"

Zhenyu Hou suddenly realized: "Indeed, if we continue to grow, then it is not the emperor but us who speaks in the court, and when the time comes, whether Your Majesty wants it or not, we must personally take action to suppress the prince, and then our originally good situation will be completely buried." ”

"That's right, what I have to do now is to keep quiet, and when I inherit the throne in the future, are I still afraid that those courtiers will dare not submit?" Chu Haoxuan sneered.

"The prince is wise!"

Zhenyu Hou was full of admiration: "But the prince, are we really not doing anything now, even if we don't win over the courtiers, don't we do anything for those who are loyal to the Prince of Jiuhuang?" Like Luo Xiong's father and son and Ji Liuya, I'm afraid that even if they know that the Prince of Jiuhuang is losing power, they will not be willing to give up, if we don't kill them, it is inevitable that there will be more incidents in the future!"

"Of course those people will not let go of the prince, but it's not time to do it yet!"

Chu Haoxuan glanced at Zhenyuhou with a little meaning, knowing that the main purpose of the other party's words was actually to take revenge with his sword, but he didn't care, after all, he also wanted to kill the Luo family's father and son, as well as Ji Liuya.

He smiled and said: "Don't worry, this prince has already planned, as long as the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is over, our people will do it, and when the time comes, Luo Xiong, Luo Yi and Ji Liuya will definitely die without a place to be buried, hmph, in this world, no one is against me, and I can always be at ease." ”

"It turns out that the prince has already planned it, and he is humble and stupid!"

Zhenyu Hou's scarlet tongue licked his lips, and said gloomily: "By the way, prince, I don't know what your plan is, can you hand over the matter of killing Luo Yi to the humble position? He killed my son, I must kill him with my own hands." ”

"Hehe, of course this is okay, I originally wanted to help you avenge, but since you want to kill the enemy yourself, then I will fulfill you!"

Chu Haoxuan smiled: "By the way, there is another thing to pay attention to, that is, before you kill Luo Yi, you must first interrogate him fiercely for me, and you must find out why he can cultivate so fast in this life?"

"Prince, please rest assured, the humble position will definitely torture him with the most cruel means, I don't believe that kid is not honest!"

Zhen Yuhou laughed ruthlessly, and his cold white teeth looked extremely infiltrating.

Then, time continued to pass day by day, and as the festival got closer and closer, more and more people came to the capital from all over the world, making the whole capital become more and more lively as if it were a new year......
