Noon had come, and the chamber was quiet, and everyone held their breath and looked at the corner door in the hall, from where the princess should have come out.

came out, it was indeed as beautiful as a fairy, but ...... It didn't seem like the right age, she didn't look like a sixteen-year-old girl.

"Ah, it's you!" Shangguan Fei shouted, then closed his mouth and looked at the Dragon King with a panicked expression.

Xu Yan lowered his head slightly, looking very shy in front of these many men, and hesitated for a while before he spoke: "Her Royal Highness the princess is occasionally caught in the cold, can't get out of bed, can't ......"

There was an uproar in the conference hall, everyone came to see the princess, but I didn't expect that it was a maid ring who came out.

Prime Minister Yang Dou was even more puzzled, rushed to the girl he didn't know, and asked in a cold face and whispered, "What's the matter?"

The Yang family has always played with the king and the princess, and has never encountered fierce resistance, and in the past two years, he has relaxed his vigilance, and he did not expect that something would go wrong at the most critical moment.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is really sick, and she asked me to announce the results. Xu Yanwei also replied in a low voice.

Yang Dou's face improved slightly, there were people behind him, he couldn't ask too explicitly, he could only force Yahuan with stern eyes, "Then you can tell the princess's true wishes, the nine young masters of Jinpeng Castle and the dragon king, which one she chooses to be the concubine." ”

Everyone quieted down again, the princess couldn't see it, at least she had to know who was the concubine, and more than half of the eyes were on Shangguan Fei.

Shangguan Fei didn't look like a person who wanted to be a horse, he cowered and lowered his head, like a country boy who had never seen the world, and even the envoy of the North Court couldn't help frowning, feeling that the performance of the Nine Young Masters really damaged the face of the Shangguan family.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has made a decision. "Xu Yan raised his voice slightly, the Nine Young Masters and the Dragon King are rare strange men in the world, and they can be favored by the two, Her Royal Highness the Princess is deeply honored, and it is really difficult to choose......

Prince Kang was anxious and shouted: "Let's talk about the results first, and then talk nonsense." ”

"Well, Her Royal Highness the princess thought about it for a while, but decided to choose the dragon king as a colt. ”

There was silence in the chamber, the exact opposite of what they had heard beforehand, and everyone was quickly calculating the possible causes and consequences of the matter.

"It can't be!"

Prime Minister Yang Dou blurted out, his voice floating above everyone's heads, and many people looked at him with pity.

Yang Dou's face turned white, and he hurriedly defended his gaffe, "Dragon King, don't get me wrong, I mean...... How could the princess get sick......? Who the hell are you? I don't seem to have seen you. ”

"I am Her Royal Highness the Princess's maid, if the Prime Minister doesn't believe it, you can go and ask her in person now. ”

There must have been an accident, Yang Dou's mind was a mess, he was usually exquisite, but now he couldn't say a word, he didn't care how rude his behavior was, and hurriedly ran out of the corner door.

At the door, he remembered to give an explanation to Shangguan Fei, so he turned around and looked for the Nine Young Masters of Jinpeng Castle who should be furious at this time in the crowd.

Shangguan Fei was gone, and as soon as the results were announced, he squeezed out of the crowd and left through the main entrance.

"This, this ......" The envoy of the North Court was stunned for a while before shouting loudly, "There is fraud in it, let the princess come out, the North Court will never accept this result." ”

Gu Shenwei was indifferent to the news, and he had been monitoring the seven Jinpeng killers in the crowd.

The killers obviously didn't expect this to happen, four of them followed Shangguan Fei away, and the other three hesitated and waited for a while to leave, and none of them approached the Dragon King.

The first four people were to protect Shangguan Fei, and the last three were assassins who assassinated Shangguan Fei.

Originally, the dragon king failed to compete with the colt and killed the nine young masters in a fit of rage, which was the most reasonable evidence of the planting, but the dragon king unexpectedly won the princess's heart, and suddenly lost the reason to kill, so the three assassins did not make a move.

Everyone stared at the Dragon King, and suddenly they seemed to think of something important at home, and they rushed out of the hall, scrambling to be the first, as if those who were left behind would be worried about their lives.

When there were only two people left, Gu Shenwei asked, "Why did you come out?"

"The princess really can't get out of bed, not because she was infected with the cold, because there were assassins last night, but she's fine, she's just scared. ”

"Assassin!" Gu Shenwei called out in surprise.

"Shhh, the Dragon King will soon know what happened, I'm going to go first. ”

Gu Shenwei also left the council chamber, he still had a lot of things to do, and tracking down the real murderer of the princess was temporarily on the back burner.

At a quarter of noon, dozens of guards appeared at the gate of the palace, all armed with knives, and strangely enough, the guards did not recognize them.

The large crowd of people who came to see the princess poured out of the palace gate and ran in all directions, and many people noticed the dozens of fierce-looking guards, thinking that something was wrong, and ran faster.

One of the king's personal guards appeared at the gate of the palace and loudly announced the imperial decree, "Your Majesty has a decree, announce that the horse will enter the palace and see you, and the new guard will enter the palace and see you." ”

The ten soldiers guarding the gate were terrified, for for the first time since the king's accession to the throne they had heard his decree, and the prime minister had always been in charge of matters inside and outside the palace.

A soldier guarding the gate boldly asked, "Where is the holy purpose, where is the seal?"

The personal guard shouted: "Your Majesty's decree, do you dare not obey it?"

Dozens of strange guards drew their knives together, and the matter was settled.

Gu Shenwei just walked out and nodded to the personal guard, so the personal guard led the way, and He Sancai and the others, who pretended to be the guard, surrounded the dragon king and walked towards the palace.

Along the way, they encountered only minimal resistance, and after the two guards died under the swords, no one came out to stop them, the guards dropped their weapons one after another, and the eunuchs and palace maids hung their heads to give way, without squeaking.

They knew that there had been another palace coup in Shiguo, and as was customary, no one was in a hurry to express their stance until they saw the final result.

The king anxiously awaited the arrival of the dragon king, and was only protected by a palace maid appointed by the dragon king, and he felt very unsure about the female guard named Guan Shang.

Seeing the dragon king leading a group of rude and vicious guards in, the king's hanging heart finally relaxed.

"Is everything safe?"

"Your Majesty will see the results right away. ”

The words of the Dragon King were soon fulfilled.

The first person to be escorted in was Prime Minister Yang Dou, in the hands of the Dutch girl, he was like a newborn baby, without the power to resist, seeing the king, Yang Dou had some confidence, "Your Majesty, everything is messed up, this, what is going on? princess...... Dragon King ......"

"Yang Dou, are you guilty?" the words had come out of the king's mouth countless times in the dream, but when it really took shape into a language with a real voice, the king was still thrilled, he had been looking forward to this moment for too long.

"I know no sin. Yang Dou's face suddenly turned red, he was the master of the Shi Kingdom, and the king in front of him who was not old and decrepit was just a puppet in the hands of the Yang family.

"Colluding with foreign enemies and forcing the king to abdicate, Yang Dou, what you have committed is a great crime of rebellion to destroy the nine clans. The king stood on the steps, and with each word he spoke, he felt a fresh breath enter his body, and his stubborn illness seemed to be swept away.

Yang Dou was speechless, and suddenly turned to the Dragon King, "It's all you, it's a conspiracy you set up, Your Majesty, don't believe him, he ...... He's going to kill the Ju Clan!"

The dragon king snorted softly, and dozens of guards dressed as robbers pulled out their bright single knives again, and the courtyard was immediately filled with a murderous aura.

The king's heart trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, "Save the effort of sowing discord, Yang Dou, if you want to blame yourself, you have driven me to death, so I have no other choice." ”

Yang Dou slowly knelt on the ground under the threat of many swords, he didn't understand how the Dragon King approached the king.

Acknowledging the king as the victor in the palace coup, more and more people came to pay allegiance to His Majesty, and several eunuchs brought jade seals, a symbol of power that the king had not touched since he ascended the throne.

Most of the palace guards confessed their sins to the king, and more than a dozen people fled, all of them were swordsmen sent by Jinpeng Castle, and as soon as they heard that the dragon king was guarding the king's side, they immediately hurried out of the city and defected to the nine young masters.

Ministers other than the Yang clan also came, and many wept bitterly, for this was the first time they had seen the king of their country.

Gu Shenwei acted at the same time as the robbers planted by the Dutch girl inside and outside the city, almost wiped out the Yang family, and escorted them to the palace one by one.

When he saw that even the youngest grandson was among those arrested, Yang Dou completely broke down and begged the king for mercy.

Seeing that the general situation has been decided, the king can already control the situation by himself, Gu Shenwei left half of the people and left with the other half, he gave the people of Jinpeng Fort a chance to escape from the stone country, but if they refused to admit defeat, he was not afraid of war.

The inhabitants of the city remained calm, their homes were closed, and the king's heralds raised the king's banner and went around announcing Yang's crimes and martial law.

The post station outside the city was a different scene, the envoy of the North Court and Shangguan Fei hid in the nearby camp of Jinpeng Fort, and the princes of various countries retreated to another camp with their entourage, saying that they were impartial and would not interfere, and there were only more than 20 swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain in the post station, and Lin Xiaoshan led them to wait for them.

The people of Jinpeng Fort did not flee or attack, and everything seemed to be normal on the surface.

Gu Shenwei observed the camp of Jinpeng Fort for a while, ordered Lin Xiaoshan and the others to enter the city, and at the same time sent people to invite people from various countries who were watching.

Most of the sons of the princes and the chieftains of the tribes were willing to enter the city, and they kept the gold kept in the palace, and if it was possible, they hoped to retrieve the gold that had fallen into the wooden bucket when it was richer.

It wasn't until the evening that Gu Shenwei thought about the princess's assassination, and it was at this time that Guan Shang sent the assassin.

"If it weren't for Sister Xu blocking it, I would definitely have been able to kill her. Tie Linglong, who lost her weapon, was not angry, Xu Yanwei prevented her from assassinating the princess, Guan Shang captured her alive, and planned to assassinate her for many days, but it failed.
