Chapter 77 Chapter 77: Meng Chen, your death star is shining!
In a blink of an eye, it was already five days later.
Fengjing is calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents surging behind the scenes, especially the change of titles between the Duke of Qi and the Marquis of Xuanwu, which shocked all the nobles and made them panic.
Because the Duke of Qi and Marquis Xuanwu each held part of the military power of the Jin State, the generals and nobles all looked up to them. Now that they were about to exchange power, the nobles did not think too much.
During this period of time, the thresholds of the Duke of Qi's Palace and the Marquis of Xuanwu's Palace were almost crossed by Feng Jingxun, and they all wanted to know the reason for this.
Could it be that the emperor had some leverage over them, forcing the two princes to hand over power?
The answer given by Duke Guo of Qi was simple. He exchanged his title and military power for his daughter who had been demoted to the cold palace. Marquis Xuanwu said that his son, who had been missing for more than ten years, was back and he would go enjoy the blessings with his son.
Just what kind of blessing can make a powerful marquis give up his title and power?
The nobles in Fengjing were very confused, and even more suspected that the emperor had a handle on them and forced them to come here.
However, not only did the nobles and nobles of Fengjing fail to understand, but even the Emperor of Jin could not understand why the two princes wanted to leave Fengjing before he even took action.
Moreover, it was agreed before that he would hand over military power to him and he would let Duke Qi's daughter go home, but to this day, there was no sign of handing over military power.
Could it be that he found his daughter dead? !
The Emperor of Jin was anxious. If this was really the case, he was sure that the Duke of Qi would kill him.
"Come here!"
Fu Tingyuan shouted, and a eunuch quickly entered the imperial study and knelt in front of him to wait for orders.
"Prime Minister Xuan has entered the palace. I have important matters to discuss with him."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The eunuch responded, stood up and exited the imperial study.
On the other side, Xuanwuhou Mansion.
In the Prince's Courtyard, Meng Chen listened to the report of the maid in green. He was surprised at first, and then fell into deep thought.
He didn't understand why Marquis Xuanwu would let go of his good power and instead leave Fengjing with the real thing? What on earth was that old guy thinking?
Since he no longer wants the title, why can't it be passed on to him? Obviously he is the heir apparent appointed by the royal family, so the title of Marquis Xuanwu should be passed on to him!
"What's going on over there in the Shadow Tower? Why haven't there been any news yet?"
Meng Chen questioned the maid in red. It had been five days, but there was no news at all from the Shadow Tower, and no one in the Hou Mansion died.
The maid in red was also confused. According to the efficiency of Shadow Tower, it shouldn't be so slow.
However, what Meng Chen and the maid in red didn't know was that the Shadow Tower was actually the property of the Duke of Qi.
Although the maid in red was once a killer in the Shadow Tower, she was too low-level to have access to such secrets.
In the hall of the Marquis Mansion, Meng Yinglong and Jiang Yunxiao were sitting together. He already knew that someone was secretly placing a reward for the Marquis Xuanwu Mansion.
"Ying Long, we have found out who issued those reward orders. It was the handiwork of your adopted son."
Jiang Yunxiao took a sip of tea and said coldly. When Meng Yinglong heard this, he snorted coldly and said:
"Hmph! He is indeed a well-educated white-eyed wolf. When I saw him disguised as Chen'er, I felt that he had ulterior motives. If it wasn't to appease Yun Yu, how could I have brought him back to the Hou Mansion."
He, Meng Yinglong, has been on the battlefield for more than ten years. He has never seen any kind of conspiracy, so how could he be deceived by Meng Chen's disguise Gu.
The reason why he brought Meng Chen back to Xuanwuhou Mansion was just to appease Jiang Yuncheng.
Even if Meng Chen takes the throne of the Crown Prince, so what.
How can a guy without any blood of the Meng family be worthy of inheriting the position of Marquis of Xuanwu? Even if the position of Marquis is given to a side branch, it is impossible to give it to him.
Jiang Yunxiao asked: "What are you going to do with that white-eyed wolf?"
"I have to ask Yun Yun about this. After all, that guy has called Yun Yun's mother for so many years. If it weren't for his company, Yun Yun might not have been able to survive until Chen'er came back." Although Meng Yinglong had already made murderous intentions towards Meng Chen, he could consider After all, that white-eyed wolf has been with Jiang Yunyun for many years. Jiang Yunyun has some feelings for him in his heart and cannot kill him at will.
Uh-huh! !
Three figures suddenly appeared in the hall, startling Meng Yinglong and Jiang Yunxiao to stand up quickly and look at the newcomers warily.
After seeing the true appearance of the visitor, they felt relieved again.
"Dad, uncle." Meng Chen greeted his father and uncle.
Jiang Yunxiao saw Jiang Yanran on his left, dressed in white armor. His burly body trembled, his face beamed with joy, and he strode forward to his daughter.
Jiang Yanran's pretty face was smiling, but her beautiful eyes revealed a bit of guilt. She threw herself into Jiang Yunxiao's arms, hugged her old father, and apologized in a low voice: "Dad, my daughter is unfilial and makes you worry!"
< br>
"It's okay. Dad didn't blame you. It was Dad who was bad and didn't protect you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have suffered this serious crime."
Jiang Yunxiao held his daughter who had come back from the dead with tears in his eyes, telling her not to blame herself. He never blamed her, he only hated himself for caring too little and causing her to suffer so much in the palace.
If Meng Chen hadn't come back, their father and daughter might really be separated from each other.
Jiang Yanran let go of her father, and said in a firm voice: "Dad, my daughter is now alive, and now she has to settle accounts with that ruthless beast Fu Tingyuan. You wait here, and I will bring that beast's head to you. ”
"Okay, my father is waiting for you here."
Jiang Yunxiao did not stop his daughter from taking revenge. Although he was loyal and patriotic, killing him ten times would not be enough for an ungrateful king like Fu Tingyuan.
Jiang Yanran nodded, and six white wings of light spread out from behind, turning into a stream of white light and flying towards the palace.
She wanted to cut off Fu Tingyuan's head with her own hands to vent her hatred for hanging herself.
"Father, what seems to be bothering you?"
Meng Chen sat next to Meng Yinglong, noticed that his expression was different, and couldn't help but ask.
When Meng Yinglong heard this, he sighed and told him about Meng Chen's announcement of an assassination reward in the Shadow Tower.
"My father is thinking about how to open this mouth and tell your mother about this."
"No need to tell mother, I will take care of it."
Meng Chen told Meng Yinglong that there was no need to tell Jiang Yunyun, and that he could just deal with Meng Chen when they left.
Originally, he thought about letting Meng Chen go because he had been with his mother for many years, but he didn't expect that he would seek death himself, so he had no choice but to send him on his way.
A mere fake stand-in is not worth mentioning in the eyes of a wealthy family that values bloodlines.
Do you really think this is a female channel, where a fake young master can just make a false accusation and make the real young master unable to defend himself, causing all kinds of misunderstandings among his parents and siblings?
If you provoke him, Meng Chen, you will kick the titanium alloy plate.
There is no need to crush the substitute to death now, but Meng Chen doesn't want that guy's death to disturb his mother.
Meng Chen, who was currently in the Prince's Courtyard, was thinking of other ways to get rid of Meng Chen. He didn't notice at all that a death omen star was shining above his head.
