Chapter 42 The capital is in turmoil
"Auntie, I'm back!"
With a thud, the door was kicked open, and an orange figure flashed in in the wind.
The wolf's pen in the hand of the man with his back against the door shook violently, leaving a large tadpole on the paper.
The husband looked at the Danqing who was about to be depicted and ruined, this was originally intended to be a congratulatory gift for the third senior brother's birthday, and shook his head helplessly.
I haven't seen her for more than two months, and her habit of kicking in the door has not changed, but she is a little unaccustomed to it.
The husband smiled and looked up at the orange blossom who broke through the door, and her face was more oily, thinking that she could eat and live in the Dragon Palace very well, and naturally she was much plump.
"Sister Nightbead, you're back!"
"Hey, Sixteen, I'm not angry with you, but I also brought you so many shredded squid for thousands of miles. What Sister Yezhu, it sounds like Sister Wild Boar. I was called a wild boar at home for more than two months, and I finally came back, and you blocked me again!"
Seeing that Orange Blossom was really annoyed, the unhappiness of the husband who had just been kicked in by her suddenly dissipated, and there was still a trace of uneasiness in his heart, afraid that she would be really angry, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help her carry her luggage and pour tea.
"Sister, don't be angry, isn't it still possible for Sixteen to compensate you?" With that, a cup of hot tea was handed to Orange Blossom.
"Ah, I'm dying of thirst. Orange Blossom took the teacup and drank the bowl of tea.
"My sister is hungry all the way back, and when I haven't eaten yet, I'll go and get some new snacks made by the gods and men for you to taste. ”
The husband turned to leave, but was grabbed by the wrist by Orange Blossom.
"Sixteen, you wait first. At your behest this time, I went down the mountain this time to inquire about a lot of things in the capital, and I think it is really novel, and I can't help but want to talk to you. ”
On weekdays, as long as I hear that the gods have developed a new snack, the orange blossom will be the first to rush up, and now I can resist it**, I think something big must have happened in the capital, maybe it will have something to do with myself. Seeing Orange Blossom like this, the husband was also excited, and sat on the couch next to Orange Blossom, waiting for her to tell her carefully.
"You should know that the current throne of Lu Dao is under the Zen concession system, right?"
The husband nodded in acquiescence.
Orange Blossom continues to tell:
"I heard that the emperor of the current dynasty prayed for succession for decades and still had no children, and now it has been a long time since he was not confused, so the ministers are also in the selection of Zhang Luo's next successor. But just a few days ago, a son called Qi Fang popped out of thin air, saying that he was the son of the concubine who died young. This person also exposed the cause of the death of the concubine back then. People in the world only know that the current emperor has not remarried, thinking that he has a deep love for the queen. But I didn't know that the queen was actually a pungent and vicious character, when she was jealous that the concubine was pregnant and she had nothing to do, so she moved to kill the mother and son, and used their special soul rejuvenation scattered of the southern barbarian alien race to poison the mother and son. It's a pity that the concubine was poisoned to death, and the child in the womb who was about to give birth must not have survived. Now I think that it should be the current emperor praying that in order to calm everyone's tone and avoid the queen's persecution of the prince, he lied to the outside world that the child was not saved. At the state banquet in the first month of last month, this prayer suddenly appeared, and I heard that he was very powerful, not only civil and military, but also talented. exposed the queen's crimes, and the emperor sentenced the queen to death without saying a word, and canonized him as the crown prince at that time. Do you know what the most incredible thing is?"
"What's it?" said Orange Blossom, whose mouth was dry and drank the bowl of tea again, and the husband hurriedly refilled another bowl for her, urging her to continue.
"The most incredible thing is that the emperor named Qi Gong as the crown prince, and announced to the world that if there is a better person than his son who can come to the palace to challenge, such as the country has not won his son after five years, then the next generation of people to inherit the throne must be His Royal Highness Qinglin Qi Gong!"
With a bang, the teapot where the husband was holding water fell onto the pear wood tea table.
"What do you say his name is?
"Yes, since that Qi Chun has been named the crown prince, he will naturally enter the Qinglin Palace, of course, it is His Royal Highness Qinglin. What are you excited about? Look at the tea that has been spilled. Orange Blossom hurriedly wiped the tea she had spilled. looked at her suspiciously, strange, a person who is so calm on weekdays, although sometimes impulsive, why is he so flustered today?
"How old is His Royal Highness Qinglin, whose name is Qi Fang, this year?"
"I heard that it should be fifteen or sixteen years old. ”
The husband sat on the chair suddenly, and his age was right, the underground organization of the Xinglin Hall of the Jishi was indeed called the Qinglin Palace, and the rabbit master had repeatedly suspected that the Qinglin Hall was colluding with the palace, so it seems that the prince called the prince of the prayer is not it, potato?!
No, no, Tudou said that he was an orphan who was adopted by Wu Lao without a father and mother, if he was really a prince, how could Wu Lao let him suffer so much?
It's not right, Tudou was born weak, and it took more than ten years for the divine doctor to cure him, if he is not the prince, then why should these three immortals protect a little outcast here?
"Sixteen, sixteen!"
"Huh?" the husband shook his shoulders at the orange blossom and suddenly came back to his senses.
"Really, what are you thinking! I also inquired about the Wu Clan, didn't you specifically ask me to inquire, why did I say that you have traveled all over the world for a long time!"
"What's wrong with the Wu Clan?" As soon as he heard that something was wrong with the Wu Clan, the husband excitedly grabbed Orange Blossom's hand and asked eagerly.
"Hey, really, I wouldn't have said it if it weren't for you. ”
Orange Blossom gave her a white look and continued:
"This time I went down the mountain and found that the world is really chaotic, since the palace feast riot, I heard that the daughter of the Wu clan suffered from an incurable disease, and has been isolated from the world for two years, and no longer sees outsiders. Everyone rumored that she was afraid that she was dead, and the Wu clan would be so secretive in order to delay the revenge of the demon clan, and wanted to secretly find the next generation of witch daughters. At that time, the rebel army was the subordinates of Kim Tae-yin, the queen's own brother who had been sentenced to death. Originally, he had already asked the emperor for peace at that time, and the emperor agreed, but he was fined some gold and silver as punishment for his poor management of the army. However, after he heard that his own sister had been killed by the emperor, he broke the document for peace in a fit of rage, and now he has fought two great battles with the emperor. I heard that in these two battles, His Royal Highness Qinglin Qi Zhen personally led the troops to charge, carrying that rare sword in the world, and defeated the enemy army. That Jin Taiyin suffered two defeats in a row, and his troops were seriously depleted, so he led his troops to retreat and temporarily recuperate. The southern barbarian troops landed in a steep situation, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The emperor naturally summoned his son back and praised him lavishly. The ministers and generals who were originally a little opposed now saw that the prince was so young and had the talent of a general, and the voices that opposed his succession became supportive of him. Now he is very beautiful, I just caught a random woman on the street of Lai'an in the capital to ask, and she learned from His Royal Highness Qinglin's heroic achievements one by one, and put her hands together in eleven shapes. Tut-tut, this world has been talented and beautiful since ancient times, right, and I don't look at what I have become, just a little prayer from my family, how is my Royal Highness...... Alas, how many crazy men and women have been born out of thin air!"
The husband listened to the orange blossom's narration, a trace of sweat appeared on his forehead, judging from the practice of isolating the fake Wu clan's concubine, now there are people in the Wu clan who already know that the girl is an impostor, but he is now trapped in this Taihang Mountain, and it will take three years to go back. In the past three years, will the Wu Clan have exposed the loss of the Wu Clan's daughter? If this is really the case, then if the Demon Clan wants to attack, the clan will suffer heavy casualties!
"Have you heard anything about the demon clan?" the husband asked, taking Orange Blossom's hand.
I had just taken a bunch of orange blossoms and took a sip of tea, but I found that my teacup was empty and the water in the teapot was empty, so I wanted to make another pot, but I was stopped by the husband.
"Let me take a sip of water, and then I will speak to you slowly. ”
"Didn't you drink half a pot just now, tell me first, and I'll pour it for you later!"
"Oops, why are you in such a hurry. The affairs of the demon clan are long and long, and short and short, in a nutshell, the daughter of the demon clan is now powerful, and the emperor has appointed her as the best candidate for the crown princess. ”
The hand that grasped the orange blossom was loosened, and the husband stared blankly at the back of the orange blossom as she turned away to pour water, but there was nothing in front of him, and he couldn't see anything.
