His Majesty the Emperor, who had just laid down with the imperial concubine, was about to be gentle, when suddenly the mountain shook, and he was so frightened that he picked up the imperial concubine and ran out.
The imperial concubine was shy and had to put on some clothes before going out. But when she came out, she saw His Majesty the Emperor standing motionless on the stone steps outside the palace door.
His Majesty the Emperor's mind felt as if thunder exploded!
In His Majesty's mind, Lao Huyan's voice actually sounded: "Your Majesty, I have entered the heart of Xuanwu Realm and become the guardian of Xuanwu Realm. In the next hundred years, my Huyan family will be entrusted to Your Majesty..."
Just a few sentences, but a lot of information is revealed.
Hu Yanying, the old marshal who was wise and good at fighting, actually became the guardian of the Xuanwu Realm!
His Majesty the Emperor's mind was full of distracting thoughts for a while, and he felt regretful and worried for a while!
I don’t know whether Lao Huyan knew or not that the previous pursuit was caused by someone sent by King Yun?
Especially the prince's actions, I don't know if Hu Yanying knows it...
When he thought of this, His Majesty the Emperor was on pins and needles: "Come, Prince Xuan and Prince Yun are here to see you!"
Before the imperial concubine had time to speak, she saw His Majesty the Emperor hurried towards the imperial study.
"This is..." The imperial concubine looked at His Majesty the Emperor's hurried away figure in astonishment, and at the guards who were waiting on him.
The guard was also confused, shook his head silently at the imperial concubine, and hurried away with His Majesty the Emperor.
In the royal study, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who lives in the palace, arrived first and knelt down very honestly.
His Majesty the Emperor was satisfied when he looked at the prince who had always been mature and steady, but now he was a little worried: "Did Hu Yanying know that you sent someone to hunt down Hu Yanying that day?"
His Highness the Crown Prince didn't know if others knew about it, so he could only say conservatively: "I'm not sure, but the eldest brother's person, Hu Yanying, must have recognized it."
"Why are you so sure?" His Majesty the Emperor frowned slightly.
"According to reports from my subordinates, there was a massacre in the valley more than a hundred miles southwest of Luohe Prefecture. Although no corpses were left at the scene, there were blood stains everywhere, and there were traces of people living there for a long time... It should be the hands of Chen Qingshan and Qiao Chu.
.”
His Majesty the Emperor fell into deep thought, and after a while he asked: "Is that the boss's person?"
The prince still didn't say directly: "There are traces of living there for a long time, and the scale is not small... Most people don't have such ability... That's why my subordinates speculated like this. But there is no real evidence."
His Majesty the Emperor understood, his eyes were slightly cold: "This idiot is getting more and more useless..."
Before the father and son could say anything more, the eldest prince arrived.
Before entering the palace, the eldest prince was still speculating about what his father wanted to do with him in the middle of the night. When he saw the prince, his speculations had direction.
He would be sure when His Majesty the Emperor asked.
"Did Chen Qingshan and his wife kill your dead soldiers in the mountains southwest of Luohe Prefecture?" His Majesty the Emperor suddenly asked.
The eldest prince was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at His Royal Highness.
His Royal Highness the Prince lowered his eyes, with an expression as if I was a fool.
However, it only took this moment for His Majesty the Emperor to understand everything.
"My son..." The eldest prince tried to quibble.
But His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand: "There are some things you probably don't know yet. Hu Yanying has just become the guardian of the Xuanwu Realm."
The eldest prince and his highness were stunned at the same time, both showing incredulous expressions.
"How... is this possible?" The eldest prince murmured to himself at the right moment, "Father, have you heard any rumors? The General's Mansion just took Hu Yanying home two days ago, and it looks like he is himself? This
How long has it been?"
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the eldest prince, his eyes as deep as the abyss, but he remained silent.
The eldest prince kept silent, but he had a very bad premonition in his heart.
"Early tomorrow morning, you go to General Huyan's Mansion to announce the decree, restoring Huyanying's title as the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, and naming Huyanlie as the Protector of the Country. Let the two of them enter the palace to express their gratitude." His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and directly took the eldest prince.
Sent away.
The eldest prince felt a little desperate.
He had just been shot with an arrow, and it was most likely Hu Yanlie who did it.
Although he had sought treatment from an immortal cultivator, he was still suffering from deficiency of Qi and blood, and he should take good care of himself in the past two days.
My father knew about this, but he still asked me to go... Is this asking me to die?!
Sure enough, as long as he is not the prince, he is just cannon fodder!
The eldest prince came out of the palace feeling very depressed. He wanted to look for a glimmer of hope, but he didn't know where it was...
At the corner of the palace in the distance, the imperial concubine stood there watching the eldest prince leave the palace, with a charming smile on her lips.
She had already heard about what happened in the imperial study just now.
In order to get rid of the Eighth Prince's possible future help, the boss has been sparing no effort. Is this okay?!
Shooting yourself in the foot!
On the surface, it seems that there are three pillars, and the eighth prince is the weakest.
But in fact... His Majesty the Emperor is in his prime, and he can still do it several times a night. With his body, he can definitely wait until the Eighth Prince reaches adulthood!
Therefore, it is still unclear who will win.
The sky was dimming, but the people in General Huyan's mansion stayed awake all night.
Hu Yanfei sat on a wheelchair in the study with red eyes, next to him sat Hu Yanlie, and on the other side sat Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan.
Except for Qiao Chu, who looked relaxed, the rest of the people had cold expressions.
Huyan Linglong came to ask everyone to have breakfast, saying that they had cooked fish porridge.
The fish brought back by Hu Yanlie failed to enter Lao Huyan's stomach in the end. He only ate the fish cooked by Qiao Chu and went to Jie Xin.
Everyone had mixed emotions while drinking the unprecedentedly delicious silver pike porridge.
After breakfast, everyone was in high spirits: we must face what we have to face!
When he heard that the Eighth Prince had personally sent Centenary Ginseng and Millennium Yuzhi, Hu Yanfei showed a sarcastic smile: "This Eighth Prince really came so quickly!"
Hu Yanlie spoke quickly: "For that position, you should run harder."
Chen Qingshan looked at Hu Yanfei: "Should we avoid it?"
Hu Yanfei waved his hand: "No need, it's not like he doesn't know you are here."
This is true...
So Hu Yanlie led Chen Qingshan and Qiao Chu to greet the eighth prince.
When the Eighth Prince saw Chen Qingshan and Qiao Chu, he was all smiles: "Master, good morning, Master! Good morning, General Hu Yan!"
Hu Yanlie saluted the Eighth Prince with a smile on his face and said, "Good morning, Your Highness, the Eighth Prince! I wonder why Your Highness is here so early in the morning?"
"There was an earthquake last night. I wonder if there was any damage to the palace? I am planning to go back to the palace to see my father this morning, so I came to General Huyan's mansion first to have a look." The eighth prince said it beautifully.
Hu Yanlie continued to smile but said: "The roof tiles on my house have fallen off, and I have already asked people to repair them. Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, does not need to worry about such a trivial matter."
The Eighth Prince did not expect that Hu Yanlie had no good expression at all, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Didn't I hear that the boss and the prince secretly took action against Marshal Huyan and offended him?
If he wants to stay in the court for a long time, doesn't he have to take sides? Doesn't he have to rely on anyone?
Apart from himself, who else can he choose right now?!
Since he is the only one who can choose, why does he look so indifferent?!
The first update is here.
There will be two more updates later.
I will volunteer again tomorrow. We here originally thought that the lockdown would be lifted at midnight today, but now it seems that it is over again. It seems that the lockdown has been tightened...
