The second princess wiped away her tears, took a deep look at her father again, then stood up and made way for her seat beside the bed.
Lianyi then took a step forward, sat down gently, and said:
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly if you have something to say, I'm listening!"
Said Wan took the initiative to hold Zhao's hand.
The corner of Zhao's lips curled up, and she looked at the second princess who was standing motionless. Knowing her father's intention, the second princess could only walk backwards out of the room, and then closed the door. She herself fell Sitting on the doorstep, his face was filled with regret.
The room was surprisingly quiet, with only the heavy breathing of the imperial husband. He looked at the queen in front of him and said with some effort:
"Queen, the second princess. If you have done anything wrong, I hope you will give me some help." She has one chance to make corrections."
"Don't I give you too many chances?"
Lianyi said, looking at Zhao Qian whose face was as golden as paper.
Zhao Qian opened his eyes and felt a pain in his heart. He unconsciously withdrew his hand and covered the wound, and spoke more and more weakly:
"Queen, do you know everything?"
"Which thing are you talking about? Did you use spices and a special incense burner to destroy my body? Or was it a private agreement between the Second Princess and the Panlong Kingdom? ? Or is it today’s rescue scene, or maybe it’s your trick? The result of seeking skin with the tiger is that she will be eaten alive, and even take your life!”
Lianyi’s words are very direct. , which made the imperial husband Zhao Qian open his eyes wide. He did not expect that the queen actually knew everything.
"Queen."
"If she wants the throne under my butt, she must have real ability. However, she is far from meeting the standards of an emperor. She is still self-righteous and wants to take advantage of Pan. The Dragon Kingdom removed stumbling blocks for itself, but in the end, Panlong Kingdom took advantage of it and shot itself in the foot."
"This matter has nothing to do with the Second Princess! It was planned by me alone. I have already risked my own life. Please forgive Huan'er!"
Lianyi's face was calm and she looked at the other party for a while. In response, he just stayed with the other party silently. When Zhao Qian's breath weakened, he raised his voice and said:
"Huan'er, come in and talk to your father."
With a "clang", The door was pushed open from the outside, and the second princess rushed in, holding Zhao's hand, already sobbing.
Lianyi turned around and left the room, and said to everyone outside the door:
"Get ready, let's go back to the palace, I'm afraid the emperor will..."
Before she finished speaking, the second princess's shrill cry came from the room:
"Father!!!" "
"Get ready to mourn!"
Lianyi ordered with a calm expression.
"Yes!"
The yard has been cleaned up, and there are people kneeling on the ground. Their expressions are very solemn. These dead men in black are so rampant that they actually killed the emperor's husband of Fengqi Kingdom. , no one can swallow this breath.
Xian Shijun kept his head lowered. He always felt that this scene seemed familiar. He had been hunted before. Perhaps, he had already made a guess.
The next day, the people of Fengqi Kingdom knew that the emperor's husband Zhao was assassinated in Zhuoxiu Garden, but the queen was safe and sound and had returned to the palace.
This news has also spread to the other three countries. The new emperor of Panlong Kingdom has a look of pity on his face. Why is it not the old witch Wu Lianyi who died? If you miss this opportunity, there will be no second chance. Time, after all, they took the initiative to break the cooperation.
Xuanwu Kingdom and White Tiger Kingdom also received the news, and their sensitive nerves were stirred again. Now even Fengqi Kingdom is not immune. Who is so bold and wants to shake the imperial power of the three kingdoms at the same time.
Following the investigation, all the fingers were pointed at Panlong Kingdom, this enterprising new emperor, who acted unconventionally and seemed to be someone who would do such a thing.
After Fengqi Kingdom completed the funeral of the emperor's husband, Lianyi received the credentials of the other two countries, hoping to join forces to deal with Panlong Kingdom. After reading the credentials, Lianyi sneered and said:
“It seems that the emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom is awake?”
"Yes, it is said that after using the medicine of tiger and wolf, after waking up for a stick of incense, he summoned the ministers, passed the throne to the second prince, and asked all the harem concubines to be buried with him. The harem of Xuanwu Kingdom should now be I’m already full of resentment.”
Huizhi handed the compiled information to Lianyi.
After the funeral of the imperial husband was completed, the second princess left the court in the name of observing filial piety. She ate fasting, chanted Buddha's name, copied scriptures, and prayed for her husband every day. Everyone said that she was pure filial piety.
The ripples naturally returned to the court. The ministers were a little surprised when they looked at the rosy-faced and energetic queen. It was difficult to connect her with the person who fainted before.
"My dear friends, don't be so surprised. I am far away from the court and no longer have to read all the news every day. I eat well, sleep soundly, my health is naturally good, and I have a daughter who can share the responsibilities. , otherwise I will be the one to attend the national funeral this time.”
Lianyi played with the white jade phoenix pendant around her waist and said softly.
"Queen, you are the anchor of our Fengqi Kingdom. With the blessing of God, you will surely be able to have good luck in times of adversity and everything will go well! Long live my emperor!"
Immediately there was something clever. The ministers came out and offered rainbow farts.
Lianyi didn't bother to listen, and directly threw the credentials of Xuanwu and Baihu to everyone, letting everyone make up their minds.
“What if there is a fraud?”
"If we send troops and the two countries stand idly by, wouldn't we fall into their trap?"
"Then let them send troops first. We will send troops at the critical moment to contain Panlong Kingdom and let them be attacked on three sides."
"If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that we won't be able to get any good territory when we divide the territory?"
This person has already begun to think about dividing the territory.
“Connected to our Fengqi Kingdom is the Panlong Kingdom. We captured five cities by surprise before, but they still wanted to take them back. Since they are so close, there will be times when they cannot guard against them. Might as well do it once and for all.”
General Fengdi from the Ministry of War came out and said.
This person supports joining forces with the other three countries to take over Panlong Kingdom.
"What General Fengdi said is reasonable, but we have just experienced the flood, and the current grain storehouse is empty. The autumn harvest is about to come, and we still don’t know what the harvest will be this year? Now that there is a big war, grain and grass are a big problem. Problem. "
The veterans of the Ministry of Revenue only care about money and food.
"What Ge Aiqing said makes sense. If that's the case, then push the time back to next spring after sowing."
"Will the other two countries be willing?"
"If they don't want to, they can take action first, and we are not stopping them."
Fengdi spread her hands and said.
"The Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom will never let us sit on the sidelines, and they are afraid that we will reap the benefits. They will definitely wait for this time."
Lianyi said clearly.
Sure enough, Fengqi Kingdom's reply reached the ears of the emperors of the two countries. Although they were a little unhappy, they could only accept it. After all, Fengqi Kingdom said that they had not yet found out the truth about the assassination of the emperor's husband Zhao. They did not want to If you send troops rashly, even if you send troops, you must do so with a good reputation.
At the same time, the eldest princess came to ask for help from Ripple with a heavy face, wanting to inform Mei Yuanzheng, who had returned home from old age, that Rong Shijun's cough had turned into tuberculosis.
