Chapter 69

White strips of cloth and paper sails hung all over the palace, and all the candles and lanterns were replaced with white, and at first glance, I thought it was a snowfall in the autumn season.

The good days calculated by the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian together should be funeral and groundbreaking.

The coffin that had burned twenty-one days of incense in the Zichen Hall was carried out by sixteen people and placed on the six-seated carriage smoothly.

Xiao Xun Guangli overrode public opinion and sent the princess to the imperial tomb with half of the Son of Heaven's honor guard, which can be described as an unprecedented grand ceremony.

If it weren't for the fact that Dongsheng had never had an example of the emperor personally helping the spirit for decades, I am afraid that Xiao Xunguang would have to go out of the palace for a while.

Shen Yuzhou was escorted all the way by him, and at this moment he was walking at the front of the team on a horse dressed in white.

He had already walked to the Xuanyang Gate, and the tail of the long line behind him had not yet walked out of the palace gate, which showed how high the status of the eldest princess was in His Majesty's heart.

Gonggong Kang accompanied Xiao Xunguang to stand on the highest star-picking tower in the palace, looking at the white dragon from a distance, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour and bitter.

"Your Majesty, the team is far away, don't look at it."

Xiao Xunguang waved his hand, "I want to stay here a little longer." ”

Gonggong Kang knew that he was uncomfortable, and he really couldn't bear to let this young emperor endure the death of his last loved one alone, and stood silently behind Xiao Xunguang to accompany him.

Xiao Xunguang is naturally not sad about this, he is waiting for what is very likely to happen today. It's just that before there was a change in the city, there was a "bang" behind him.

When he followed the sound, Kang's father-in-law had fallen to the ground, unconscious.

"Someone! Come on! Xiao Xunguang hurriedly called someone to lift Gonggong Kang up and send him back to Zichen Palace.

Before leaving the door, he suddenly thought of something, "Wait. ”

Then he instructed, "Use my frame to send Gonggong Kang back, and pass it on to the imperial doctor, just say that it is for me to see the disease, understand?" If you go out of the way, the heads of you will ...... I don't know where it will be. ”

Several little eunuchs were afraid to death, and they closed their mouths one after another.

Xiao Xunguang and Gonggong Kang got into the car together and returned to the Zichen Hall before the imperial doctor arrived.

When the imperial doctor heard that it was the Zichen Palace that summoned the imperial doctor, he ran all the way in a hurry, and hurriedly came in, but saw that it was Gonggong Kang lying on the dragon bed.

Doctor Xu's heart was relieved, and then he sat on the edge of the bed and began to check the pulse.

"Imperial Doctor Xu, what's wrong with him? Obviously, I was still talking to me, and suddenly I fell unconscious. Xiao Xunguang asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Kang's pulse is weak, and it is already a trend of declining days!" Imperial Physician Xu bowed down and prayed.

"How so? Father-in-law Kang's body has always been healthy, how could he suddenly lose his days? Xiao Xunguang was shocked.

Imperial Physician Xu was also puzzled, and went to check the pulse again, but judging from the pulse, it was indeed a sign of decay that only after a person is old.

But if it happens suddenly...... Imperial Doctor Xu said cautiously: "From the pulse alone, it is indeed the end of life, but how to cause this still needs to be carefully examined, and every drink and food on weekdays may cause the current situation." ”

He didn't say poisoning, but the meaning was already obvious.

Xiao Xunguang was furious in his heart, Gonggong Kang was his personal attendant, if he could be poisoned......

Thinking of this, he said loudly: "Give me a strict investigation!" ”

Everyone in the Zichen Hall immediately took action, and they checked the food, clothing, and even people that Gonggong Kang had come into contact with for half a month, but the result was - it was clean and clean, and there was nothing.

Xiao Xunguang looked at the unconscious Kang Gonggong, and smashed a cup angrily, "A good person suddenly became like this!" You told me that you couldn't find anything? Tomorrow I am dead, and you don't know anything! ”

The palace people in the room knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Your Majesty is angry." ”

At this time, a little eunuch raised his head tremblingly and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the slave knows where Gonggong Kang has been." ”

Xiao Xunguang looked at him, "Said." ”

The little eunuch slammed his head on the ground, "Your Majesty forgives me, Gonggong Kang has been going to the West Wing Hall to worship the eldest princess every day recently." He didn't want His Majesty to be sad, so he didn't let the servants tell His Majesty. ”

The furnishings of the west side hall have not been removed, Xiao Xunguang immediately asked someone to take Imperial Physician Xu to check, and after checking it around, Imperial Physician Xu condensed his eyes into the incense burner.

He picked up a pinch of incense ash and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, his frown tightened by two points.

Taking out a piece of paper from the medicine box, he picked up some incense ashes and wrapped them carefully, before he instructed the palace people: "Quickly clean up the incense ashes in this incense burner." ”

After speaking, he returned to the dormitory and said to Xiao Xunguang: "Your Majesty, the remaining incense ashes in the incense burner in the west hall are different from other incense ashes, and there seems to be medicine in it, but what kind of medicine it is, the minister has to go back and study it carefully." ”

"Incense burner...... The west side hall ......" Xiao Xunguang muttered, "Gonggong Kang is blocking a difficult situation for me." ”

"Imperial Doctor Xu, you must cure Grandpa Kang!" Xiao Xun's eyes were full of Qiji, Gonggong Kang was not just a palace man who served him personally, but also like an elder, he couldn't watch him die.

Imperial Physician Xu also understood the specialness of Gonggong Kang, and bowed down and said, "The minister must do his best." ”

Leaving the imperial doctor in the inner room, Xiao Xunguang got up and came to the study. He clapped his palms facing each other rhythmically, then sat behind the bookcase and waited quietly.

In less than three breaths, a figure floated into the emperor's study like a fallen leaf.

"Spread the news to Shou'an Palace, just say that it was me who was unconscious and asked for a doctor, and I watched Zichen Palace, don't let people say what they shouldn't say."

The figure knelt down on one knee and nodded, "Yes." ”

If anyone who knows the inside story sees him, they will definitely find out that this person is one of the shadow guards left by the first emperor to Xiao Yunjiao.

In the huge palace city, the news that was deliberately released by people drifted into Shou'an Palace like the wind through many long-trusted or unbelievable mouths, and then floated outside the palace like the wind.

The moment the news drifted to King Yu's ears, he was simply ecstatic, and immediately ordered, "Pass the order, Your Majesty was killed by a traitor and his life is in danger, please King Jing immediately bring someone to the palace with this king to rescue him!" ”

When King Jing learned about him, he did not doubt him, and hurriedly transferred the two thousand men and horses he brought from the south to standby, while asking anxiously: "Uncle Huang, how could Your Majesty suddenly be dying?" I only have 2,000 men, and if the traitors hold His Majesty hostage and retreat to the palace, I'm afraid there will be a shortage of manpower! ”

King Yu was anxious on his face, but he was triumphant in his heart, "The incident happened suddenly, this king temporarily transferred the soldiers of each family, and His Majesty's safety is the most important, and he can't take care of anything else." ”

King Jing didn't notice anything wrong with his words at all, nor did he realize how the number of "government soldiers" outside could be so large and neat, how could they be temporarily transferred?

He just wanted to hurry into the palace to rescue the driver and rescue the "unknown life and death" brother, and said eagerly: "Then let's enter the palace!" ”

King Yu stopped him, "Li'er, Uncle Huang has a word you have to remember." Your Majesty's life and death are unknown, if you let the villains take advantage of the situation, then you don't know what your surname is in this world. You have to take care of yourself, it can be regarded as leaving a way out for our Xiao family. ”

King Jing was shocked, "Uncle Huang, you mean ......?"

King Yu nodded, "If the momentum is not right, this king will immediately take the lead and support you to ascend to the throne and stabilize the overall situation!" ”

King Jing was up and down in his heart, but he only said, "Maybe Your Majesty is safe and sound?" Uncle Huang, let's save people first. ”

As for supporting him to ascend the throne, he didn't say yes or no.

……

A full 12,000 men and horses easily entered the gate of the capital under the organization of King Yu.

It wasn't until the black pressed iron soldiers standing outside the palace gate that the forbidden soldiers realized that this was a sudden palace change!

The forbidden army guarding Miyagi numbered only 3,000, and it quickly collapsed under the attack of more than 10,000 people.

Yuwang Xiao Peiying sat at the front on horseback, looking at the Zichen Hall a few steps away with a frantic expression.

"All the soldiers listened to the order and attacked the Zichen Palace! Fight off the thieves, escort! ”

He drew his sword and gave an order, and then waited for the soldiers to rush forward and bring him the final victory.

And himself, as long as he cries and says sadly after seeing Xiao Xunguang's corpse, he can start to let Xiao Xunli succeed to the throne!

What a wonderful thing! The throne of the emperor went round and round, and finally fell into the hands of his son!

King Yu's heart swept through with happiness, and he slowed down for a moment before realizing that the scene of the black clouds pressing down on the city in his imagination had not happened.

Not only that, but it was also quiet and terrifying behind him, as if he was the only one in the huge square.

Xiao Peiying first turned his head to look, then immediately turned the horse's head, and looked at the scene behind him in disbelief-

The soldiers who were supposed to rush to fight for their lives are now neatly lined up in front of the Zichen Palace, and the weapons in their hands have long been sheathed, and they are quiet as if they have not experienced the battle just now.

Xiao Peiying realized that something was wrong, he was carried away by the joy, and he didn't pay attention at all - when did the people and horses secretly transferred from Wulian Mountain have such a strong combat power, and how could they have such strict military discipline?

He turned his head a little to look at the two brothers of the Yue family, the two people who served in the military department were the scapegoats he had chosen for himself early in the morning.

"Why don't they listen to the king?"

Yue Chi Yue Qing gritted his teeth and took two steps back.

Yue Chi said quickly: "Lord Wang, let's take care of myself more." ”

King Yu's heart beat wildly, "You dare to fight against the water? Don't you want Yue Minshan's life? ”

Yue Chi Yue Qing didn't speak, but a loud voice answered his question.

"Prime Minister Yue's life is decided by His Majesty, and it is not the turn of the prince to decide."

The Black Armor Army gave way to the left and right in a neat pace, and a bluestone brick road appeared in the black pressed team like a tide receding.

At the end of the road, there stood a man dressed in silver armor with a straight posture.
