Xiao Se was summoned by Emperor Mingde and came to the palace.
When Xiao Se came to the Imperial Garden, he saw Emperor Mingde leisurely admiring flowers. The current Emperor Mingde was flushed and full of vitality, which was completely different from the sickly look Xiao Se had seen when he returned to Beijing.
It's like a different person.
"Father, does he seem to be in good condition lately?"
Emperor Mingde was very happy to see Xiao Se and pulled him aside, pointed at the things in front of him, and said with a smile:
"Chuhe, come on, come on, let me show you something!"
Xiao Se couldn't help but smile when he saw what was on the table. There were two scrolls spread out on the table. Aren't they the dragon seal scrolls with the heir to the throne written on them?
Moreover, the sharp-eyed Xiao Se immediately noticed that the column for who the pass was to be passed to was still blank.
Emperor Mingde handed him a pen and said:
"Chu He, look, I haven't written the name on it yet. I leave it to you to make the final choice!"
Xiao Se said with some confusion:
"Father, is it too early to write this now? Aren't you still energetic?"
He has just recovered from his heart ailment and has been treated with Xiao Se's elixirs. According to his current state, there must be no problem for Emperor Mingde to die. I didn't expect him to have the intention to pass the throne so soon.
Emperor Mingde shook his head and said with a smile:
"After being the emperor for so many years, I have been on tenterhooks all day. I finally have time to rest. My father also wants to take advantage of the fact that I still have some energy and walk around. People like to go to the rivers and lakes, and Gu also wants to walk around.
Look, your Uncle Wang bought a house by the West Lake, and your father also wants to go there and be his neighbor, hahaha..."
After walking through the door of death several times, Emperor Mingde also saw a lot. As long as the foundation of the Xiao royal family was not lost, it no longer mattered to him whether he was an emperor or not.
Xiao Se looked at these two scrolls and was not polite. He wrote the name of the second prince Xiao Chong on them. To be honest, if he had not done it right, there would indeed be no better candidate than Xiao Chong.
Emperor Mingde did not have any surprises about the person Xiao Se wrote. If Xiao Se really wanted to be the person, no one would be able to stop him even if there were no scrolls.
Even if Xiao Chong becomes emperor, his weight among the people in the world will definitely not be as high as that of Xiao Se. Imperial power is no longer the greatest power in the world.
After watching Emperor Mingde seal the scroll, Xiao Se said:
"By the way, the new five supervisors have to select new talents. I promised Jinxian that I would give him freedom!"
Among the five prisons, Jin Yu, who was loyal to the second prince, was killed by Jin Xuan. Jin Wei, who was loyal to King Langya, chose to retire. Jin Yan had just been thrown into the sky prison and was not far from death. Jin Xian was a bleak person,
As for the remaining Jin Xuan, Xiao Se couldn't let him go.
The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the five eunuchs are almost useless. This is definitely a big challenge for Xiao Chong.
Emperor Mingde nodded and said coldly:
"After all, Jinxuan has been with me for more than 20 years, so I'd better leave his body intact!"
Xiao Se nodded, said nothing, and acquiesced to Emperor Mingde's request.
Emperor Mingde said again:
"I heard from Ling Chen that he found an island in the East China Sea. The island is not small, and there are many indigenous people on it. How about giving it to Xiao Qi? Let him be the owner of the island for the rest of his life?"
Emperor Mingde had no mercy towards the eunuch Jinxuan, but he still couldn't bear it when facing the Red King Xiao Yu. No matter how many wrong things he did, he was still his own son after all.
"I have agreed to let Concubine Xuan leave the palace. I have indeed wronged her over the years. Since she wants to find Luo Qingyang, let her go!"
Xiao Se nodded again when he heard this. For him now, wanting Xiao Yu to die is just a matter of hooking his fingers. With his wings shaved off, he can't make any waves at all! Luo Qingyang accepted Mingde
Given the emperor's favor, naturally he would not help him again.
On this day, Emperor Mingde walked around the palace with Xiao Se for a long time, and ended up very drunk. It seemed that he had not been so happy for a long time.
It was not until the next morning that I prepared to leave the palace.
Just as he was about to go out, he saw Jinxian who had been waiting outside the door for a long time. Xiao Se took out an imperial edict from his arms, threw it directly to him, and said with a smile:
"From now on, you will be free! But from now on you will no longer be a powerful eunuch! You will only be a Snow Sword Immortal!"
Jinxian knelt down directly towards Xiao Se, received the imperial edict, and said:
"Jinxian thanked the prince!"
What he really wants to be is not the Palm Incense Superintendent, but the Fengxue Sword Immortal Shen Jingzhou!
Xiao Se said playfully:
"Didn't I give you a magical medical order before? What, you don't plan to take it out?"
Jinxian tremblingly took out a token from his arms and said nervously:
"Jinxian has not made any achievements in the past year and does not dare to claim credit. Please ask Your Highness to take back the token..."
He didn't dare to mention Xiao Se's promise that day, and he was really embarrassed.
Xiao Se smiled and shook his head. To be honest, he only admired the other person at first. He didn't expect the other party to be of any help. After all, he was at best a half-step swordsman now. What help could he be expected to do?
He took the token handed over by the other party and said desolately:
"Don't worry, I keep my word. I will help you recover if I say I want to, but before that, you and I will kill someone first!
Lead the way!"
Jinxian also had a clear understanding in his heart, knowing who Xiao Se wanted to kill, and that person was also his enemy!
The two of them walked swaggeringly in the palace, and soon came to a rather gorgeous palace. This was the residence of the head of the five eunuchs. As the most powerful eunuch in the palace, Jinxuan's palace was quite beautiful.
No worse than Concubine Xuan’s!
Perhaps because she had anticipated Xiao Se's arrival, Jinxuan did not run away, but knelt down respectfully.
Xiao smiled and said:
"My father-in-law seems to have expected that I would come, right?"
This powerful eunuch who was half-stepping in the realm of fugue, the great eunuch who outnumbered ten thousand people by one person, was no longer as calm and composed as before. He almost lay on the ground with his whole body. He said sincerely:
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. This slave is blind and blind. I listened to Xiao Yu's bewitchment and I ask Your Majesty to spare my life. From now on, this slave will serve your Majesty even to the death..."
If Xiao Se didn't know who the other party was, he would have been deceived by his superb acting skills.
After the other party said a bunch of flattering words, Xiao Se couldn't stand it anymore and asked directly:
"It was you who took action that night five years ago, right?"
Jinxuan was obviously stunned when he heard this. After hesitating for a while, he still didn't dare to speak. It was considered as acquiescence. He also knew that the matter could not be hidden from the other party.
Xiao Se added:
"At that time, King Langya's rebellion case, the dragon seal scroll not long ago, and Jinyu's death were all related to you, right?"
Jinxuan continued to remain silent, not because he didn't want to refute, but because he really didn't have the guts!
Xiao Se continued to ask:
"The previous incident of His Majesty being poisoned was also related to you, right?"
Jinxuan said hesitantly:
"This servant really doesn't know about this..."
This time, the other party argued hard, but the lie could not be concealed from Xiao Se, and he was too lazy to ask further.
"Since you lied, then go to hell!"
With a gentle wave of his hand, this powerful man who was half-walking in a fugue fell down directly! He didn't breathe at all!
