Chapter 209: The Storm is Coming
The night was bleak, and the cold wind swept over the branches from time to time, and the dry branches rustled.
The moon in Duanwang's Mansion is always very lonely.
Duan Wang stood in front of the door, admiring the empty night sky like an abyss above his head, and holding the portrait that had been torn by Ning Shu in his hand.
Morin stood aside, frowned, and said:
"Your Highness, the outside of the palace has been surrounded by people from the Praetorian Guard—"
Duan Wang's fingertips trembled slightly, the strength in his hand tightened, his eyes were still cast on the bottomless night sky, and he said lightly: "How long will Xie Yunshen go back to Kyoto?" ”
"According to the hour, it will take two days at the earliest."
"Two days—that's enough."
King Duan sighed faintly, and slowly turned to face Mo Lin, "You sneak out and bring a message to Lord Wu, and immediately surround the palace." ”
"But Your Highness's safety—"
"My father just surrounded the palace, and the fact that he hasn't passed the word yet, it means that he won't do it for the time being."
King Duan smiled coldly, he didn't know what was going on in the palace, and he didn't know why the emperor wanted to surround Duanwang's mansion.
However, this may be an opportunity.
The last resort is finally going to come in handy.
With tenderness in his eyes, he lowered his head and looked at the fragments in his hand, and the corners of Duanwang's lips hooked slightly, "Even if I can't get your heart, I want to get your people!" ”
"Ahh
Ning Shu sneezed fiercely.
The Great Elder's words occupied all her thoughts like a bolt from the blue.
She had known for a long time that the Great Elder's ears were extremely sensitive.
When King Duan met with the Great Elder outside the city, someone hurriedly came to report to King Duan, and King Duan led people away from the Great Elder, and the conversation between the two still reached the ears of the Great Elder.
King Duan actually raised 30,000 troops behind the emperor's back?
The 30,000-strong army has the power to fight against the enemy's frontier invasion, and in Kyoto, it can subvert the existence of imperial power.
The more Ning Shu thought about it, the cooler her heart became, and she immediately called Xuanfeng to disguise herself and go out of Beijing to find Xie Yunyan back to Kyoto as soon as possible!
Long Shan fiddled with the charcoal fire in the stove, closed the doors and windows, and came to Ning Shu to persuade: "Girl, what should come is always coming, it's useless for the girl to be worried, let's rest early?" ”
Ning Shu shook her head helplessly, "I'm not sleepy yet, you go and ask Shuang'er to ask Yuanwu, is there any news from your husband?" ”
"Girl." Long Shan didn't listen to her orders, "Xuan Feng has only been out for less than an hour—"
"Yes." Ning Shu walked to the window, pushed open the window and looked at the gloomy night sky, a large number of clouds were black and oppressive hovering in the west, slowly approaching in the direction of the moon.
The subtle artistic conception is like a storm coming.
"You go down and rest first, I'll blow the wind, and I'll rest in a while."
Long Shan was speechless, took the cloak and put it on Ning Shu's shoulder, and said lightly: "The night is cold, the girl is careful." The slave and maid retreated first. ”
Ning Shu looked out the window indifferently, her mind solemn.
If King Duan intended to rebel, Xie Yunyan also took away a thousand light horses, and the emperor in the palace didn't know if he could have the ability to protect himself.
If she rashly informed the emperor of the news, but King Duan had no intention of rebellion, she would naturally not be able to cure King Duan's sin based on the words of the Great Elder, and she would also be accused of framing the prince.
"Well, let it all be at the mercy of heaven—"
……
"Everything is providential!"
The owner of the immeasurable village played with the glass bottle and couldn't put it down.
The master of the Qingjian Hall twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Zhuang Master, Duan Wang only paid a deposit of thirty percent for Lian Rong's head——"
The owner of the village smiled at the master of the Qingjian Hall through the mask: "Stupid, the deposit of thirty percent is also given to you for free, why do you worry about the rest of the silver?" ”
The master of Qingjian Hall shrugged his shoulders, a few days ago, someone found Wuliang Villa and paid a lot of money to buy Lian Rong's head, and he knew that the mastermind behind it was undoubtedly Duanwang.
At present, the matter of the Jinyi Guard's encirclement of Duanwang's Mansion has become known to everyone in Kyoto, although he was originally instructed by the owner of the village to just collect money and not have to do things, but he is still worried about the remaining honorarium.
The hall master of Baixiao interjected and asked, "Master Zhuang, the people sent by King Duan have begun to gather all the soldiers and horses hidden in Kyoto and outside the city, and it is estimated that there will be a move soon——"
"That's why I say everything is providential." The owner of the immeasurable village put down the glass bottle, and the small fish in the bottle seemed to not like to leave the feeling of leaving his palm, swimming wildly in the small space.
"I wanted to keep him for a while, but he touched the bottom line of this king!"
From the time he first found out that King Duan had privately raised soldiers and horses, he began to look forward to this day.
After waiting too long, when he was about to forget his hatred for him, King Duan really lived up to his expectations and challenged his bottom line again and again.
That's fine!
The hatred for him continues to accumulate into a mountain, and it will be more fulfilling when it is destroyed!
The immeasurable owner smiled and deployed to several people:
"Qingjian Hall will secretly protect the Guogong Mansion from now on."
"The other three halls are standing still."
Master of Wuji Hall: "Then you, the owner—"
"This seat has its own way to protect itself."
"Yes!"
After dismissing a few people, the owner of the immeasurable village walked out of the cave, looking at the moon gradually engulfed by dark clouds, his eyes flashing.
……
In the huge hall of heart cultivation, the emperor sat alone on the dragon chair, and his mind was full of the shadow of King Duan from birth to adulthood.
Every fragment flashed in front of me like a marquee.
He can be said to have given all the emperor's fatherly love to King Duan.
I even thought about crowning the emperor on his body.
It's not enough to have so much, but also to try to cause chaos and harm the royal bloodline.
This son, I can't bear to kill, and I can't be merciful to stay!
I still remember crying to myself when he was still an infant, as if it was just yesterday.
"Su Quan—"
The emperor suddenly called out softly, and Gonggong Su hurriedly approached and said, "The slave is here!" ”
"Did I get wrong in the first place?"
Father-in-law Su beat the old man who followed him when he was still the emperor.
He watched how the emperor went to great lengths to marry the empress of the Su family, and he also saw with his own eyes how the emperor used Concubine Lian to fall in love for a long time in the end.
He didn't understand whether the emperor regretted the support of the Lian family at the beginning, or regretted the favor he had for Concubine Lian later.
Perhaps, it's a bit of both.
Gonggong Su said respectfully: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can the Son of Heaven do something wrong, all the choices of the Son of Heaven are right." ”
What's more, the current emperor is the most famous emperor in the history of the Qi State.
Under his rule, Daqi can be called a prosperous and prosperous era.
"But my harem is a mess—"
The emperor chuckled, he has a way to govern the country, but he always has the intention of turning a blind eye to the harem, which caused today's situation.
"Ouch, Your Majesty, there is a dignified and benevolent queen mother in the harem, and a virtuous and virtuous concubine in the harem.
"Peaceful?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Yes, peaceful." ”
Without being a fine lotus concubine, the entire harem is as calm as if it has fallen into death.
Squinting his eyes slightly, the emperor had already made a decision in his heart.
"Spread my will, and order Lin Shuanghe, the general of Rongma, to lead two hundred light horsemen and arrest King Duan into the palace early tomorrow morning!"
