Inside the cell.

Meng Nanzhu said: "Yesterday, the master entered the palace once, and it was Gonggong Cao who personally invited him. ”

The eldest princess's face condensed slightly, and she said, "Father's condition has worsened?" ”

Meng Nanzhu nodded heavily: "Yes, Your Majesty's condition is deteriorating rapidly, the situation is very bad, Master asked me to tell you, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

The eldest princess's face was a little pale, but in fact, she knew that her father's illness could not survive this cold winter.

But hearing Meng Nanzhu say this, she was still extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

After all, in this world, except for her father, she has no close relatives.

The eldest princess's eyes were slightly red and said, "This palace wants to go back to the palace!" ”

"Senior sister, don't be impatient!"

Meng Nanzhu hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Shizun asked me to tell you, the more this time, the more calm you must be." ”

When the eldest princess heard this, she took a deep breath to suppress her emotions and said, "Did the master ask my father about the succession to the throne?" ”

Meng Nanzhu nodded.

The eldest princess said anxiously: "What did my father say? ”

Meng Nanzhu said: "It's not Your Majesty who said it, it was Gonggong Cao who told Shizun personally, saying that Your Majesty had already prepared the edict." ”

Hearing this, not only the eldest princess was stunned.

Gu Wushuang and Lu Ning were also stunned.

"Where's the edict?"

The eldest princess grabbed Meng Nanzhu's wrist.

Meng Nanzhu shook his head and said: "The master didn't say it, so I shouldn't know, and as for the content of the edict, no one knows." ”

The eldest princess's eyes sank coldly and said, "Who knows about the edict at present?" ”

Meng Nanzhu said: "Gonggong Cao, Qin Zhong, and Wu Anhou all know what the master means, and soon all civil and military officials will know about it." ”

"The master said that these are not important, the important thing is that the senior sister, you must get the edict as soon as possible."

"It doesn't matter who succeeds to the throne in the edict."

"This edict should be read by you or Concubine Qi and announced to the world."

"But Concubine Qi is pregnant, so she still has to come."

The eldest princess got up slowly, stared at the outside of the cell and said in a deep voice: "If the master doesn't help me, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get the edict!" ”

Meng Nanzhu also got up and said: "Master said, you can't rely on Baiyun Daoist Temple to get the edict, you have to rely on your own ability. ”

"The specific reason is that Shizun didn't say it, I think it must be what Gonggong Cao said to Shizun."

"Master asked me to tell you this."

The eldest princess turned around and looked at Meng Nanzhu, her chest rose and fell, and said: "In the palace, the person that my father can trust, the senior on the golden platform is counted as one, and the supervisor of the Qin Heavenly Prison on the Tianxing Tower is counted as one. ”

"But these two predecessors, one guards the imperial city, the other watches the national fortune, and never participates in court politics."

"Even if my father is here, it will be difficult to see them."

"As for Gonggong Cao and Qin Zhong, my father has never really trusted."

"I will never give them a legacy."

"That edict is not in the Golden Terrace, but in the Heavenly Star Tower."

As she spoke, the eldest princess looked at Meng Nanzhu and said, "Junior sister has written down this matter, has the master said anything else?" ”

Meng Nanzhu nodded and said, "Senior sister, I said it, don't be angry or sad." ”

The eldest princess said, "Senior sister just said. ”

Meng Nanzhu said: "Your Majesty collapsed, Qin Zhong and Wu Anhou will definitely help Zhou Xiao, the prince of Yongshan, to fight for the edict." ”

"Even King Yongshan and King Anshan will not be able to sit still, and they will rush to Beijing and Zhou from Yongzhou and Anzhou respectively."

"They will come with an army."

"Shizun said that I am most afraid that the king of Beimang will take advantage of the situation to send troops."

"Whoever he helps, he can take away the edict."

"By that time, the edict will be useless, whoever is stronger will be in power."

"But then the world will fall apart."

"Therefore, the master has repeatedly told me, junior sister, you must get the edict, no matter who succeeds to the throne, you must announce it to the world in accordance with Your Majesty's decision."

"It's right!"

"Even if the world will be chaotic, there will be a crusade against the king."

Lu Ning, who was expressionless on the side, listened and felt that Baiyun Guan's analysis made sense.

Before Emperor Ming Wu collapsed, everyone would not act rashly.

Once Emperor Ming Wu collapsed, the situation would be chaotic.

Although the edict may not be useful, it is definitely a legitimate thing.

As long as the eldest princess holds it in her hand, she is afraid of it.

Everyone can only wait for the edict to be announced to the world.

At that time, even if there is chaos, someone will pull up the king's flag to quell the chaos.

After all, this is an opportunity to make a name for yourself.

Success or failure will go down in history.

It's a pity that I was in Xianle Fang before, and I forgot to take a look at the luck of Zhou Xiao, the little prince of Yongshan, and Xue Jingnian, the son of Beimang.

Although the eldest princess has the destiny of the emperor, she may not necessarily be able to ascend to the throne.

Maybe there are King Yongshan, King Anshan, and King Beimang.

If one person wins, the emperor's destiny of the others will surely dissipate.

The next time you see Xue Jingnian and Zhou Xiao, you must take a look at their luck.

Lu Ning raised his head slightly, and heard the eldest princess say, "Did the master mention the matter of Qi Guifei?" ”

Meng Nanzhu said: "After saying it, the master means, Concubine Qi is temporarily the lord of the six palaces, and now that His Majesty's condition is aggravated, she can't go." ”

Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyebrows raised slightly.

If Concubine Qi doesn't leave, then he doesn't have to go out of Beijing and Zhou.

The eldest princess nodded, looked at Gu Wushuang and said, "The people this palace asked you to choose, how did you choose?" ”

Gu Wushuang said: "Back to Your Highness, the person has already been picked. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Lu Ning.

The eldest princess and Meng Nanzhu also looked at Lu Ning.

Lu Ning frowned slightly, what do you mean by looking at me?

Gu Wushuang said: "During this time, His Highness should know something about Lu Ning, he has an innocent background and is a reliable person. The last time Tianhe Ferry fought with the Guanshan Mad Demon, he also saved me. ”

"Not only is he flexible and powerful, but I personally think he's a man of good luck."

"With him protecting His Highness, I dare not say that it is foolproof, but it is absolutely reassuring."

"The most important thing is that he has a young face, and others won't care about him."

"That's the way to take it by surprise."

Lu Ning stared at Gu Wushuang with a strange expression, praising me so much in front of me, have you considered my feelings?

"Nobleman...... No, Your Royal Highness the Princess, your subordinates are not as good as Lord Gu said. ”

"This bit of strength of your subordinates is not worthy of protecting you."

"You have golden branches and jade leaves, you should find someone stronger to protect you."

Lu Ning hurriedly said, just kidding, if you protect the eldest princess, you have to participate in the next battle for the edict.

Are Qin Zhong and Wu Anhou idle people?

Fighting them is a game of death.

I really don't know what Gu Wushuang, this girl, thinks, and actually pushes him to the cusp.

The eldest princess didn't speak, staring at him quietly.

Gu Wushuang also stared at Lu Ning.

Meng Nanzhu showed curiosity.

Being able to save Gu Wushuang under the hands of the Guanshan Mad Demon, this young man's strength was really surprising.

Seeing that the four of them were staring at themselves.

Lu Ning raised his eyebrows and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there is someone who can protect you." ”

The eldest princess said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Lu Ning said: "Zhang Sheng in the military department." ”

Zhang Sheng is Zhang He's father, and before Zhang He asked him to help with good words, the opportunity finally came.

Hearing this, the four eldest princesses frowned.

Gu Wushuang pouted and said, "Who are you promoting, can that Zhang Sheng do it?" As a soldier, it is better for me to personally protect His Highness. ”

Lu Ning hurriedly said: "I also think that Master Gu is more suitable." ”

"Scrap, don't beep, it's you!"

Gu Wushuang wanted to beat Lu Ning angrily.

Lu Ning was speechless, let me die, without a good word, I will sacrifice in vain?

"Ahem...... Your Royal Highness, it is very easy to solve the problem of face life, you can wear a mask, and your subordinates will nominate another person for Your Highness, he is not only face life, but also strong. ”

Lu Ning planned to promote Mu Yan on the second floor of the Heavenly Prison.

If the eldest princess was willing, not only would she be able to save Mu Yan, but she would also be able to do what she promised Zhongli.

It's a triple win.

Gu Wushuang was speechless and said, "Who are you going to promote?" ”

Lu Ning glanced at her, then looked at the eldest princess and said:

"Your Highness, the person nominated by your subordinates this time is ......"

"Muyan."
