"What is the emperor talking about? I don't understand it at all. What about the Sixth Prince of Dongling? I'm just a little counselor next to Prince Yunlan."
Emperor Mingwen smiled and tapped his fingertips on the table. The sound made Hui Lu feel unsure.
"Your biological mother is the concubine of Yunlan's Minister of Rites. When the emperor of Dongling was still a prince, he served as a hostage in Yunlan. During that time, Prince Dongling was bullied a lot, so he held a grudge and was always merciful. Your mother was one of them.
When one of them got pregnant with you, Emperor Dongling originally wanted to take you mother and son away, but Emperor Dongling was weak at the time, so he gave up, and your mother had to wait for many years."
"Back then, you took the relics left by your mother and quietly contacted Emperor Dongling. Emperor Dongling also recognized your identity. The sixth prince of Dongling practiced on his behalf and prayed for Dongling. Isn't it you?"
Seeing that he had already said what he said, there was no point in denying it, so Hui Lu looked up to the sky and laughed: "I have hidden this secret for so many years, and no one knows about it. How did you know about it?"
"This is not important." Emperor Mingwen paused with his fingertips and raised his eyelids: "I can help you."
Hui Lu has been among the royal families of various countries and has long been accustomed to intrigues and intrigues. He never believed that there would be unprovoked good things in this world.
Many things come at a price.
"You have been exposed in Yunlan. You have contributed a lot to Yunlan's troubles today. You have been planning on Yunlan for so many years. Isn't it just that you hope to have a foothold in Dongling in the future?"
Hui Lu knows these things better than anyone else, and she is living in a crack now.
What's even worse is that his identity has been exposed.
Now that he has been exposed, Hui Lu stopped pretending and raised his chin: "I know you won't help me for no reason. Tell me what you want."
"As we all know, there are traitors in Dongling. The prince of Nancheng is a party. If you can capture the prince of Nancheng, I believe that the emperor of Dongling will look at you with admiration."
Hui Lu smiled: "The king of Nancheng has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. I am just a lonely man. What can I do to confiscate others?"
"I can lend you troops!"
With one sentence, Hui Lu's pupils shrank suddenly and he stared at Emperor Mingwen blankly: "Why do you want to help me?"
"Smart people, don't ask too much, you have no choice now." Emperor Mingwen said.
Hui Lu gritted his teeth and then thought that this was the case, so he nodded: "Yes, if one day I can gain power in Dongling, I will never forget the emperor's help today in the south."
Emperor Mingwen gave Huilu a token of fifty thousand soldiers and horses with a wave of his hand.
"You don't have much time left. You only have one month. After one month, I will take back the military power."
Hui Lu clutched the token tightly, her whole body trembling. She never dreamed that there would be a chance to turn over.
Before leaving, Hui Lu said again: "The deposed prince is the lifeblood of Queen Yunlan. It would be a pity to kill him so easily."
This can be considered a reward.
As soon as the person left, Chu Yunning came out from behind: "Does the Emperor think Hui Lu is reliable?"
Emperor Mingwen shook his head directly. This dog-headed military advisor was cunning and cunning, and he would definitely bite him if he had the chance to turn around.
Now he is just forced to obey Emperor Mingwen.
"Then the emperor is not worried that these 50,000 soldiers and horses will never return?" Chu Yunning asked.
Emperor Mingwen took out a tiger talisman token from his waist, which was similar to the one just now, except that the previous one was fake, and this one is real.
"I have already told Vice General Li and Vice General Wen that if they want to get married in a glamorous manner, they must perform well."
"So the lieutenants with 50,000 troops are these two?"
When Chu Yunning heard this, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart, and then said: "Could it be that the emperor is planning to use Hui Lu's identity to take advantage of the situation and go around to the rear of Nancheng Prince to attack?
"
Emperor Mingwen looked at her in surprise and nodded without hesitation: "That's what I mean."
These 50,000 soldiers and horses were actually still hanging around right under their noses, only superficially obeying Hui Lu.
Chu Yunning couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Emperor Mingwen: "Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, I admire you!"
"Aning is humble, I am not half as good as you."
The two of them praised each other a few times, and then Eunuch Mo came to report: "Your Majesty, many people outside the city are calling the deposed prince a coward, and few people are insulting the emperor anymore."
The explanation works well.
"We have been scolded for so many days, so we can't just let it go. I like to make every penny count!"
Chu Yunning hummed.
…
five days later
Suddenly news came out in Dongling that the prince of Nancheng was the true dragon emperor destined by destiny, and the current emperor of Dongling was just a thief.
Sooner or later, Emperor Dongling will die without a burial place.
The future Lord of Dongling Kingdom will definitely be the Crown Prince of Nancheng.
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Dongling angrily ordered in the court to capture the Prince of Nancheng and his party, and directly judged Prince Nancheng to be a traitor.
In just a few days, the entire Nancheng Palace went from being a high-ranking and noble family to a person plotting to rebel against the party, and the whole family was executed.
The news flew like wings to the ears of Prince Nancheng. He stood in front of the tent, feeling the whistling north wind.
Everyone was stunned.
He felt that everyone was laughing at him, and he had changed from the noble prince of Nancheng to a criminal that everyone could punish.
"Your Majesty, are you still thinking about rumors?" Shen Bi put on a white cloak and stood beside the Crown Prince of Nancheng. The corners of her lips raised slightly and she said nonchalantly: "Rumors stop only for the wise..."
"Wise?" Prince Nancheng sneered again and again: "Your words of wisdom made the Nancheng Palace bear the crime of treason, and dozens of people in the whole palace were killed."
Shen Bi was startled by his voice and took two steps back. Her face was pale and there were tears in her eyes: "Do you blame me?"
"Strange?" Prince Nancheng smiled bitterly; "This matter is not your fault alone, I am also at fault."
My fault was that I trusted Shen Bi too much.
I was led by her everywhere, every step was wrong, every step was wrong, until now there was no room for regret.
"The prince said this, does he want to marry Miss Chen Bi?" Shen Bi asked suddenly, that was what she thought in her heart.
She has told Prince Nancheng countless times that he will definitely become emperor in the future, but unfortunately, he did not listen.
Once you become emperor, all disparagements will become praises.
Those people will crawl at the feet of Prince Nancheng.
"Why do you think so?" Prince Nancheng was puzzled. He already trusted her enough.
Shen Bi shook his head and reached out to hold the hand of the Prince of Nancheng: "If someone is given a great responsibility from heaven, he must first work hard. These rumors must have been spread by the Emperor of Nanduan. All we can do now is to hoard food and wait.
opportunity."
It is already the end of the year, and Emperor Mingwen is on the verge of death. By then, the south end will definitely be in chaos.
When the time comes, they will take advantage of the situation and attack Yangcheng. After they have a base, they will no longer be afraid.
"Did you know that Xihai Kingdom has sent two wedding princesses to Yangcheng?"
Shen Bi choked.
"To exchange so many lives for an unknown result..."
"It's not unknown, Crown Prince, you will definitely become the emperor." Shen Bi suddenly felt a little guilty, maybe she shouldn't have told this matter in advance.
It was because she was too anxious.
It should be completed step by step according to the original track.
Now it's just the opposite.
Chu Yunning also became a stumbling block for her.
"The Crown Prince." Shen Bi looked guilty and took a deep breath: "I can accept the Crown Prince marrying Miss Chen Bi."
The current situation was so deeply involved that she had no choice.
Save the present first.
Let’s talk about the next fight later.
Prince Nancheng looked at her in surprise: "Don't you hate having women around me the most?"
"Today is different from the past."
"So, you can also compromise?" Prince Nancheng was a little confused. What was the most important thing in her heart.
Shen Bi said: "The current situation is not good for you, so we are just compromising for the time being."
"Aren't you afraid that I will fall in love with Miss Chen Bi?"
Prince Nancheng asked rhetorically.
Chen Bi is well-behaved, sensible, beautiful, knowledgeable and courteous, so it is not surprising that he fell in love with Chen Bi.
Shen Bi paused with her fingertips: "If this is the case, I will let you go and find a place where you are free from the world.
, incognito
Live a lifetime.”
"What if I lose the battle one day?"
Prince Nancheng asked, and emphasized again: "
I'm talking about assumptions, not predictions."
Shen Bi frowned. She had never thought about this problem.
.
In her mind, she had determined that Prince Nancheng must be the emperor.
"Why, is it so difficult to answer?"
Prince Nancheng's heart sank, and he raised his head to look at her.
The smile at the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.
"Shen Bi."
"I never thought about it, I just know you won't lose."
Shen Bi looked at the face of Prince Nancheng and added: "If such a day comes, I will stay with you, even if it means death."
Prince Nancheng stared closely into her eyes, trying to see something in them.
Shen Bi blinked and nodded: "Of course!"
After a while, Prince Nancheng smiled: "
I have rejected Chen Bi, she will leave tonight."
"Prince?" Shen Bi frowned. At this juncture, with his master gone, he lost a powerful helper.
Prince Nancheng waved his hand: "That's it, I can take care of the rest by myself."
Shen Bi had other ideas in her mind and changed her route directly to find Chen Bi.
Chen Bi had already packed his luggage and was not surprised to see her coming: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Shen Bi raised her eyebrows and sat down unceremoniously: "Now that you know I'm coming to see you, you know what I'm going to say."
"I can help the prince, but I can never make wedding clothes for others." Chen Bi packed his luggage slowly, his tone full of arrogance.
It seemed certain that Shen Bi would agree.
"You want me to leave?" Shen Bi frowned.
Chen Bi nodded.
"Dream!" Shen Bi stood up quickly. There was no need to continue talking. Chen Bi was not in a hurry: "You can leave, but soon this place will be in a desperate situation. You have offended Nanduan, and Dongling can't accommodate you.
, but if there is a party that wants to deal with you, your camps alone are not enough to resist it!"
The longer it lasts, the worse it will be for them.
"Donngling needs me to go to the south end to get married, but I just have the guts to run out."
Chen Bi sighed, it was time to give up.
A man who was once so pure and outstanding has fallen into a quagmire.
Apart from helplessness, there is only sympathy.
"You want to marry Nan Duan?" Shen Bi suddenly grasped the key point. She could see that Chen Bi's feelings for the prince of Nancheng were extraordinary.
"Perhaps we can talk about cooperation and I can leave the Crown Prince. You can't bear to see the Crown Prince end miserably, right?"
Shen Bi immediately changed her attitude: "I promise I won't fight with you..."
"Do you think I'm stupid, risking my life to tip you off?"
Chen Bi shook his head: "You don't need to convince me anymore. Not to mention how dangerous it is to marry the Southern Emperor. Even if I can succeed and retire, what face will I have to face the prince?"
She would not be fooled by Shen Bi.
Shen Bi was speechless, unable to say a word due to the blockage.
"Do you really want to see the prince end up in a miserable state?"
"I am not responsible for what happened to him today. He could obviously guard the border and be a trusted minister of the emperor, but he ignored the imperial decree and privately led troops to attack Nanduan and Yunlan. Isn't this rebellion?"
"You!" Shen Bi was choked and sneered: "You say you like the prince, but that's all."
Chen Bi was not to be outdone and counterattacked: "If you want to help the prince, how can you prevent the prince from marrying me? Now I am just forced into a desperate situation and have to compromise. Once the dilemma is solved, what will happen to me?"
"You!" Shen Bi's little face turned red as her thoughts were revealed.
Because that's what she really thought.
Chen Bi did not give her this chance, and said: "If I die here, my father will lead troops to avenge me within one day!"
Therefore, Chen Bi was unscrupulous and not afraid of what Shen Bi would do.
Shen Bi clenched her fists tightly, raised her voice fiercely, and had to force out a smile: "Miss Chen Bi misunderstood, how dare I do anything to you, the prince has repeatedly warned me that I cannot treat you badly no matter what."
Perhaps because of the mention of the Crown Prince, Chen Bi's expression softened a lot.
"Don't worry, I won't take the initiative to do anything to the prince. I hope everything will be fine for him."
Chen Bi packed her luggage and didn't leave much behind, but Shen Bi grabbed her arm: "Are you serious about not thinking about it? The prince has no feelings for you..."
"You leave immediately, I can stay."
"Is it necessary?" Shen Bi's face tightened.
Chen Bi pointed at her fair little face: "Or if you destroy this face, I can allow you to stay with the Crown Prince."
Shen Bi's face suddenly darkened: "Don't push yourself too far!"
"Then why do you think I would do anything to help the prince?
, bringing injustice to the Chen family? How much risk do I take, are these demands excessive?"
Chen Bi's hand gently rested on Shen Bi's shoulder
: "Only by giving up can you be virtuous. There is no such thing as a free pie in this world."
"Then I congratulate Miss Chen Bi on successfully winning the favor of the Southern Emperor."
