For some reason, he always felt that people like Cang Qiao would not simply turn into ashes.
Disturbing...
At this time, several generals led their people over. After saluting Shangguan Hongye, they cupped their fists and said——
"The late emperor has passed away. Your Highness was originally the newly crowned prince of the late emperor. However, the canonization ceremony has not been held. The country cannot live without a king for a day. Please ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
Ling Bo and other soldiers also knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness, please ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
Under the gloomy and snowy sky, Shangguan Hongye looked at the figure kneeling on the ground, with a complicated and deep look on his handsome face——
This is the day he's been waiting for, isn't it?
The full ambitions can finally be realized, and there is no need to be submissive and cautious anymore.
So, why bother to pretend to refuse?
He raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, I will take care of the funeral ceremony and enthronement ceremony next!"
"Yes - Your Majesty!" Everyone clasped their fists in unison.
...
hundreds of miles away
In the fine snow, Hancheng City is dimly lit at night.
The slim figure on the bed sat up suddenly, sweating profusely.
She clutched her chest tightly, as if something had penetrated her chest, and the pain continued to spread from inside.
"Huh-huh-"
She looked out the window blankly, and couldn't help but panic: "Ah Qiao!"
The door was pushed open in a hurry, and Chunhe hurried in holding a lantern: "What's wrong with the eldest lady? Is it a nightmare?"
Ming Lanruo took a deep breath, took the handkerchief she handed over, and held it in her chest: "I... dreamed about him. I dreamed that he was dressed in bright red, looking at me with a smile, and the flames were rolling around him...
....disappeared.”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Jing Ming leading a man outside the door in the fine snow: "Miss, urgent report from Beijing!"
Ming Lanruo paused, then immediately put on his clothes and stood up: "Let someone come in immediately and bring hot tea."
In order to travel day and night, they would simply untie their outermost thick furs or coats when they slept, almost sleeping with their clothes on.
Only half an hour.
The slim figure was already sitting at the table, lighting the candle and listening to the report from the person in front of her.
When she heard - "Nine thousand years old, Cang Qiao, the governor of Dongchang, held the late emperor hostage and confronted the King of Qin who forced him to go to the palace. In the end, he was hit by an arrow and died in the sea of fire with the late emperor..."
The scissors in Ming Lanruo's hand fell to the ground with a snap.
She slightly opened her red eyes and looked at the visitor, then stood up: "Is this serious?"
"The informants in the capital are working hard day and night to report. There will be no lies." Chen Ning said.
Ming Lanruo closed her eyes and swayed slightly. It turned out that this was the reason why he was so unrestrained that night, carving himself into every inch of her body.
He only said that he had something to accomplish and asked her to wait for him, but he refused to tell himself what he wanted to do.
It turned out to be such a crazy move...
He is truly the one I love, hate, and pitifully!
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and quickly asked about the current situation of Jin Yiwei at the Middle East Factory in Beijing.
Those who came to report all reported truthfully.
Ming Lanruo was pacing back and forth, and suddenly said: "Let everyone prepare. Let's set off as soon as it breaks out in the morning, speed up our horses, and run towards the three southwestern provinces as fast as we can!"
Chen Ning, Chun He and others were all stunned: "Miss, we just arrived yesterday, didn't we have to rest and replenish food and grass for two days?"
Minglan Ruoming narrowed her eyes and looked out the window at the cold night sky——
"If I can't seize the time to hide in Chu Yuanbai's territory in the few days after our new emperor ascends the throne, when the new emperor is free, he will probably send someone to get my imperial edict soon!"
