Chapter 142 Helping Spirits Return to Dragon Capital
Continuous heavy rain moistens the rivers and mountains.
Inside and outside Longdu City, there is a vast land.
The so-called spring rain is as precious as oil. It should have been a time when the people were rejoicing and looking forward to a good harvest, but inside and outside Longdu, there was a faint sadness.
Liu Xia's honor guard escorted the emperor's coffin to the Longdu Pier. At this moment, a large number of civil and military ministers and relatives of the emperor were kneeling on the pier. Everyone screamed, knelt on the ground, and burst into tears.
The moment the sampan was put down, the whole pier was filled with cries.
Immediately, the emperor's coffin was carried off the battleship by ninety-nine eunuchs, followed closely by Liu Xia.
Standing at the dock and looking at the tearful civil and military ministers around him, Liu Xia couldn't help but sneered.
I am afraid that more than half of the people here are crying for themselves. As the saying goes, once the emperor and his courtiers were together, the emperor's sudden departure is indeed bad news for some people.
Under the escort of Tiankui Guards, the emperor's mausoleum entered Longdu with great force.[
In Longdu City, countless people spontaneously took to the streets to greet him.
Liu Xia sat in the carriage and looked at the people of Longdu around him, feeling heavier in his heart.
He looked up at the gloomy sky and remained silent.
After arriving at the palace, the first thing to do was that Liu Xia ascended the throne.
After accepting the homage of hundreds of civil and military officials, Liu Xia began to prepare for the emperor's funeral.
After the civil and military officials dispersed, Liu Xia sat on the dragon chair and looked up at everything in the magnificent palace in front of him, feeling a little sad.
"Your Majesty, please don't feel sad. You still need to take care of your dragon body now."
Chen Mo naturally knew that Liu Xia was missing the injured emperor and hurriedly advised him.
"The funeral must be extremely grand, so that the enemy will really be fooled. You have been in the palace for many years, so you should be more familiar with this kind of thing than me. If you need anything, I will do my best to cooperate with you."
Liu Xia said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best."
Chen Mo said with clasped fists.
"Here is a healing medicine. It will cure your injury completely first."
Liu Xia handed Chen Mo a pill, then stood up and walked out of the hall.
At this time, a young eunuch hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Princess Chang'an has passed away." [
"What!"
Liu Xia was suddenly startled, and turned around to look at each other with Chen Mo. Chen Mo was also obviously stunned.
"Take me to see it."
After saying that, Chen Mo hurriedly shouted: "Let's drive."
Sitting on the dragon boat, Liu Xia looked at the pouring rain all around and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts.
Princess Chang'an is his biological aunt, and Liu Xia has no feelings for her. Liu Xia had a fight with her before when she was controlled by the demons.
It was that time that Liu Xia learned the secret of the emperor and Princess Chang'an.
If the emperor knew this bad news, I'm afraid he would be heartbroken.
When they arrived at Princess Chang'an's room, the servants in the palace had already knelt there, crying into tears.
There are not many guards in the palace, and there are only three or four servants of Princess Chang'an serving her.
Liu Xia knew that Princess Chang'an was banned.
When entering Princess Chang'an's room, Liu Xia frowned immediately.
Because, in the room where Princess Chang'an passed away, there was a faint evil breath floating around.
"How did your Highness get there?"
Chen Mo is currently asking about Princess Chang'an's personal maid.
"Back to the manager, the princess has been crying every day these past few days and is not in good health. She only gets up at this hour every day to wash up. When I came in today, I saw that Her Highness the Princess had already hanged herself from the beam."
After saying this, the palace maid was trembling and did not dare to say any more.
Liu Xia walked to Princess Chang'an's bed, and Chen Mo hurriedly lifted the white cloth covering the princess's face.
Liu Xia saw the marks on Princess Chang'an's pink neck and she indeed committed suicide.
However, Liu Xia discovered that there was a clear hickey on Princess Chang'an's neck.
Although it is rolled together with the tear stains, you really can't see it unless you look carefully.
"You all please step aside, I want to be quiet here."
Liu Xia said calmly.
Immediately, all the slaves in the palace exited the princess's room one after another.
"Chen Mo, have you ever worked in the Jingshi Room before?"
Liu Xia asked.
Chen Mo was stunned, and hurriedly bowed his waist and said: "Your Majesty is wise. This servant has indeed worked in the service room."
At this time, Liu Xia faced Hudao with his hands behind his back: "Go and check."
Chen Mo hurriedly bowed his waist and said: "I obey."
After saying that, Chen Mo walked up to Princess Chang'an, stretched out his hand and took off Princess Chang'an's clothes.
Princess Chang'an's perfect body was immediately exposed in the room.
Chen Mo immediately began to check. After a while, Chen Mo said: "Your Majesty, Princess Chang'an did have sex with a human before her death. Moreover, there were bruises on her body..."
"Chen Mo, you are the Emperor's closest confidant. There are some things that I shouldn't ask you. However, I want to know what is going on?"
Liu Xia asked seriously.
"this……."
"Don't worry, if this matter comes out of your mouth and reaches my ears, no one will know about it."
Liu Xia comforted.
"Yes, the late Emperor and Princess Chang'an grew up together. They had a very good relationship. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he also loved the Princess very much. However, the Princess unexpectedly got His Majesty's son. In order to cover up others' eyes, His Majesty gave the Princess to Tuoba Lingyun.
.But Tuoba Lingyun doesn’t know about this matter. I guess that Tuoba Lingyun’s rebellion is probably closely related to this matter.”
Chen Mo said softly.
"I see."
Liu Xia said calmly.
It seems that the emperor gave Tuoba Lingyun a huge cuckold in this matter. No wonder the loyal Tuoba Lingyun rebelled.
If this kind of thing is done to anyone, anyone will rebel.
Judging from this incident, Princess Chang'an must have lost all hope after hearing the news of the emperor's sudden death. As a result, Tuoba Lingyun sneaked into the palace last night to take revenge on Princess Chang'an. After that, Princess Chang'an committed suicide in anger.
It seemed that Tuoba Lingyun was really in Longdu, just as he had guessed before.
"Chen Mo."
"The slave is here."
"It is decreed that Princess Chang'an will be treated with a state funeral. All the servants who serve Princess Chang'an should be buried with her."
Liu Xia said calmly.
"This slave knows."
"Also, bury Princess Chang'an in Tailing."
Liu Xia added.
When Chen Mo heard this, he was suddenly startled, and then he clasped his fists and said, "The Emperor will definitely thank His Majesty when he finds out."
Tailing is the emperor's mausoleum. Liu Xia obviously wanted to bury the emperor and Princess Chang'an together.
After coming out of Princess Chang'an, Liu Xia went to keep vigil for the emperor.
Late at night, Zhang Zongcai appeared secretly. When he saw Liu Xia, he hurriedly saluted Liu Xia.
"How are the dragons these days?"
Liu Xia asked.
"After Wei Chen returned to Longdu, he quietly kept inquiring about the news about the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In the end, he really found out something. Longdu Commander Liu Mace had been friends with Tuoba Lingyun before. During this period, Longdu
Among the Capital Guards, generals from Tiankui Guards, Tianyu Guards, Yulin Guards, Iron-Blooded Guards and even the Royal Forest Army have disappeared, died, or died suddenly. Weichen speculates that this series of activities may have
It has a great relationship with Tuoba Lingyun."
Zhang Zong said.
"I understand."
Liu Xia said calmly.
At this time, Liu Liansheng walked up to Liu Xia and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please read the letter from the head of the Song family."
After Liu Xia opened it, he took a cursory glance and sneered: "Tuoba Lingyun, this time I will let you die and be buried."
————————————————————
Longdu Xicheng is a place where three religions and nine streams gather.
It rained heavily for seven or eight days and finally stopped.
The people who were hibernating at home finally took to the streets, and for a while, Longdu regained its vitality.
And Xicheng, as a place where fish and dragons are mixed, is even more noisy and shaking.
The Tingfeng Teahouse located in Xicheng is just a small tea shop that doesn’t look very eye-catching.
However, it is not open today.
However, the second floor of the tea house was overcrowded today.
Anyone who knows the powerful people of Longdu will be very surprised if they take a look here.
Because in this teahouse, all the powerful people of the dynasty were sitting there.
Almost everyone has a distinguished background and formidable power.
However, the expressions of these people are different.
Some people were excited, some were miserable, and some looked desperate, but most of them looked eager to try.
And sitting in the center of the teahouse was Tuoba Lingyun, who had disappeared for many days.
"Everyone, tomorrow is the day for the emperor's funeral. By then, the defenses in Longdu City will be empty. Capturing Longdu will be just around the corner. The Duan family is foolish and it is time to end all this."
Tuoba Lingyun said excitedly.
"Your Majesty is right. We have been waiting for this day for too long."
At this moment, Prince Hui smiled.
People in the hall nodded one after another.
In fact, there are many people here who have their own frustrations just like Prince Hui.
They were controlled by Tuoba Lingyun, because all their shady things were controlled by Tuoba Lingyun.
And he also took Tuoba Lingyun’s poison.
If you don't follow Tuoba Lingyun in rebellion, you will be dead. If you follow Tuoba Lingyun in rebellion, there may be a glimmer of hope.
"Don't worry, everyone, as long as we capture Dragon City, you will be the founding heroes of the country. I, Tuoba Lingyun, will never treat you badly."
Tuoba Lingyun smiled lightly.
"Lord Tuoba, just give the order. We are willing to follow you to the death."
Suddenly, several spies from the Metropolitan Procuratorate shouted.
Immediately, there was a sound of flattery in the entire hall.
After a while, everyone became quiet.
Tuoba Lingyun said: "There are 50,000 Tiankui guards in Longdu, and I have already poisoned the water source. By then, they will be of no use. When the emperor's funeral procession arrives at the Valley of the Kings, we will capture the dragon first.
When Liu Xia found out and came back, it was already too late."
"My lord is wise, but Liu Xia's cultivation is extremely high. Even the Cihang Yin Sect was no match for him some time ago. If we can get rid of him, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Prince Hui said hesitantly.
"Haha, please don't worry about this. That bastard Liu Xia is so powerful only if he has spiritual protection. I already have a way to deal with him, just in case. You also know my character.
, I am not 100% sure that I will not drag you to be buried with me."
Tuoba Lingyun smiled disdainfully.
"As long as we can kill Liu Xia and seize the Dragon City, there will be nothing to worry about. Sir, give me the order."
When everyone heard this, the last stone fell in their hearts. Immediately, Tuoba Lingyun began to issue orders.
