Aman didn't know that Murong Yingluo had escaped from her golden cicada shell, and now the group was heading towards Hongwuguan.
Aman returned to Prince Gu's Mansion and asked Mingtana about the news from Sangkan, and learned that the mother and son stayed in the hospital to recuperate and did not leave.
Aman traveled day and night. Two days later, when Aman rushed to the hospital, he found out that the mother and son were disguised as two men and were shot dead on the way to escape.
Aman clearly sensed that the old woman was a woman, and intuitively told him that the woman was Murong Yingluo. Murong Yingluo turned out to be a golden cicada, and the two of them just missed each other.
Aman did not go to court for two days in a row. He locked himself in the arsenal for two days, saying nothing and eating nothing.
On the third day, after two days of silence, I seemed to have figured out a lot of things.
He decided to use a torch to ignite everything he had been obsessed with. A fire broke out in the backyard of Prince Gu's Mansion. There was a loud bang and the entire backyard was razed to the ground.
Aman did not do it randomly. Since Yingluo left, only the firearms she made have been stored in the arsenal. Only a small amount of gunpowder will not cause a large-scale explosion.
Aman went to the west wing to see his and Gina's child. He had not fulfilled his responsibility as a father since the child was born and only visited quietly a few times.
Gina has been living in the west wing with her child, and Mona stayed in the west wing to take care of her food and daily life. After all, she gave birth to a child, and Tana took great care of her. The once good sister became a slave, living every day.
Although she was living in fine clothes and fine food, there was never a day when she was happy in her heart. She thought that after giving birth to an heir, the Prince would recognize their identity as mother and son. A pheasant could not become a phoenix, and a phoenix could not fly like a fish, but the prince still despised her.
A slave.
Gina stayed by her child's side when she heard a loud boom in the distance and the house shook. I wonder what happened? The child was awakened by the explosion.
Gina hurriedly picked up the child and said, "Mona, go and see what's going on?"
"It seems that the sound came from the backyard. Fortunately, it is relatively far away. But I heard that the prince has locked himself in the backyard in recent days and cannot come out. Could it be that something happened to the prince?"
"Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you go find out!"
Mona hurriedly pushed open the door and saw Prince Ji standing at the door. She said, "My lord, your lord, you are here!"
Aman's expression was dull and cold, "You go out first!"
Mona nodded cautiously, "Yes!" She bowed her body and backed away.
Gina held the child in her arms, "I've met the prince!"
Aman ignored her and looked at the little baby in her arms, "Let me hug him."
Gina was flattered, surprised and happy, and hurriedly handed the child over carefully. Holding the child in her arms, the feeling of blood connection was extremely mysterious.
He used to feel repulsed by him because he was born into the world because of a calculation. Now that the child is in his arms, he is already the father of a child, a man who is upright and upright, and he must bear some responsibilities.
Putting the child back into Gina's arms, "This child, please give her a single name of "Heng". Take good care of the child, and I will give you the title of a legitimate wife. I don't want my child to be a concubine, that's all."
Gina looked dazed, her happiness came too suddenly, and she didn't know why Prince Yan suddenly accepted their mother and son. Although she only recognized the child, she believed that as long as she put more thought into it, she would definitely be able to win the prince's heart.
Aman entered the palace. Since he already knew his life experience, he needed to express his attitude.
Aman went directly to see Yu Junning and ordered the eunuch to guard the door. He had something to explain clearly to Yu Junning.
Yu Junning has been feeling very uneasy lately, and Aman doesn't want her to worry about it. He locks himself up in the palace for a woman and doesn't go out.
Hearing that the eunuch reported that King Yan had arrived, it seems that he had already thought clearly about it. It was a good thing for her.
"Xuan come in!"
Aman walked in and saw Yu Junning with a gloomy expression, "I've met my aunt!"
Yu Junning said in horror: "What did you say? You called me aunt! Do you know that this title can destroy the country that I have worked hard for more than 20 years in one day?"
"Aman came here to tell my aunt that Aman will not be my aunt's pawn. I don't want my children to enjoy the wealth gained through theft."
Yu Junning rushed over angrily and slapped him, hoping to wake up this unfilial descendant, "How can you be worthy of your dead grandfather and father by saying such things?"
There were clear finger marks on his face, but Aman did not move. "Aunt, I think my father's happiest time was not when he became the emperor of Lan Kingdom, but the three years he spent with his mother."
"Extremely stupid! Parents' hatred is irreconcilable! Do you want to give up revenge because of a woman? That woman wanted you to know your life experience just to destroy the relationship between our mother and son. Don't fall into the trap without knowing it."
"I know that I killed my mother because of that woman, and I will no longer be obsessed with it. So I will still be the same as before. I will still be the king of the ancient Wu Kingdom. I will go to the battlefield to avenge Murong Xuan. !”
"A true king does not need to go to the battlefield. As long as you can become the king, it is the best revenge. As for Murong Xuan's life, I will not let him die happily so easily!"
A Man left the palace, and Yu Junning was upset. A Man really couldn't help A Dou. She had been planning for more than 20 years to restore the country, and she couldn't let him ruin it. It seemed that it was time to take action. Now The only way is to force Aman to inherit the throne.
In the Cangwu Palace, the king of the ancient Wu Kingdom held a vermilion rattle in his hand, which Man'er often played with when he was a child. As a child, Man'er was very naughty and did not stop for a moment, thinking of Man'er lying on his side. The look of him sleeping soundly on his back, and your play in the imperial garden... his expression is sad, with tears streaming down his face.
Suddenly there was a noise at the door, and he hurriedly gathered his emotions, "Anu! What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen is afraid that she is going to take action."
The rattle slipped from her hand, "She couldn't bear it anymore after all. After twenty years, even a heart made of stone should be warmed up. You should go out first! Let the lonely king be alone for a while."
The eunuch walked out with a respectful expression.
The king of the ancient Wu Kingdom took a deep breath and picked up the rattle that fell on the ground. "Man'er, your mother is really crazy. She has destroyed you and separated our father and daughter forever. Father, King She will never be allowed to destroy Arnold."
In the dim night, with the moon shadow and dark clouds, a dark shadow also came out from all directions.
Under the dim night, a heavy body fled all the way under the escort of guards. Suddenly, you were called to kill everyone.
"There are assassins! There are assassins! Protect the king!"
During the melee, a loud noise was heard, and a giant object fell into the icy lake. Someone shouted: "The king has fallen into the water!"
Yu Junning was pacing back and forth in the palace. The person he sent has not come back to report yet. The couple who have been married for twenty years are not without some feelings. But compared with the hatred of Fu Guo, feelings are a burden. If you want to achieve great things, To be ruthless and unjust.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from outside the palace, someone came from here eagerly and asked: "How is the situation?"
"Back to the queen, the king was injured and fell into the ice lake in the chaos. The night was too dark to go out and salvage. The weather was so cold that the king would not have been able to survive given his size."
"I didn't see the body, so I was worried and sent people to look for it immediately. I want to see the dead body even if I want to see it!"
Alarm bells sounded in the palace. The news that the king was assassinated last night quickly spread throughout the palace, and everyone in the palace was looking for him. Now the two countries are at war, the king is missing, and the courtiers are in chaos.
Yu Junning tried his best to appease the courtiers. As the two countries were at war, the assassination of the king must have been carried out by assassins sent by Cheng Han.
He also pointed out that if the king dies, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The eldest prince Arnold once conspired against the country and led troops abroad, so he has lost the right to inherit the throne.
The second prince, Aman, was kind-hearted and won the hearts of the people, so he naturally became the heir to the throne.
In the side hall, Yu Junning retreated from everyone and looked at the sullen Aman opposite.
"Tell me what you have to say!"
Aman looked at each other angrily and said: "My aunt is responsible for the assassination of my father! They have been married for more than 20 years. My father has a deep love for my aunt, but my aunt is actually able to do it."
In her mind, her children are all pawns, let alone a mere man. "Have you not understood the situation yet? As long as his body is found, you will be the king of the ancient Wu Kingdom!"
"I don't care! I don't want to be manipulated by others! Auntie, you are also a descendant of the Lan Kingdom. Since reviving the Lan Kingdom is my aunt's wish, if you want to be the king, you can do it yourself." Aman was filled with disappointment.
The Yu family has been passed down by a single family for several generations. Yu Jun would rather hate that he is not a man. If he were a man, he would have done great things, and he would not have devoted himself to the ancient Wu Kingdom for more than 20 years.
"Aman, have you seen the old ministers in the court? If you inherit the throne, I will keep their lives, including their families. If you don't accept the Ai family's proposal, there will be bloodshed in the court. "
Yu Junning was warning him that if she became the king, she would eliminate dissidents and kill people wantonly, and he would use everyone's lives to negotiate terms with him.
People in the court were in panic. The emperor had been missing for four or five days, and almost all government affairs were left to Queen Yu Junning.
In the early morning, the weather was already very cold in late autumn. When the palace officials were cleaning the mud from the lotus pond, they fished out a corpse. It had been soaked and swollen, and the appearance was indistinguishable.
Judging from the clothes and body shape, he was definitely the king of the ancient Wu Kingdom. He also had a white jade ring on his hand. Yu Junning was still very uneasy. If he could not judge the appearance of the corpse, it could not prove that he was the real king of the ancient Wu Kingdom.
There was a dark mole on the sole of the king's foot. "Take off your shoes!"
The palace guards took off the corpse's shoes, and sure enough there was a black mole on the foot, "This person is the king, the king! The king! He has passed away!"
All the courtiers knelt down and cried, "Long live the king!"
Yu Junning's expression was mournful, his eyes were filled with tears and glowed reddish, "Send the order! A national mourning! All entertainment is prohibited within a hundred days, and wearing red is prohibited."
"My dear fellow ministers, I am deeply saddened by the death of the king. The country cannot be without a king for a day, so King Gu will inherit the throne!"
