Chapter 394 Emperor Xia: It seems we have to hurry up

Murong Xueer's whole brain was in a relaxed state just now. Suddenly someone appeared next to her in a daze, and quickly grabbed her waist, ran behind her, and then covered her mouth. How could it not make Murong Xueer panic?

For a moment, she thought there was an assassin or an enemy who wanted to assassinate her.

But she soon realized something was wrong. Just as she was struggling, she found that the power in her body was blocked and she could not use it.

The next moment, a familiar feeling entered her body, and Murong Xueer realized that it was the bastard who was here.

They had done so many bad things together, and she was already very familiar with that guy, and she believed that only that guy had the ability to drive her crazy.

But having said that, her guess was correct. That guy was indeed an assassin who came to kill her.

Murong Xueer didn't struggle at all and let the water splash. After an unknown amount of time, the assassin's voice rang in her ears, "My good wife, why are you so defenseless? This is not okay, and you If you don’t struggle at all, what if you meet a bad person?”

Murong Xueer snorted and said, "Other than a bastard like you, who else in the palace has the ability to ban my power?"

"Even if there are bad people in the palace, there can only be one bad person like you."

Lu Chen put his arms around Murong Xueer's waist, slowly came to sit next to the bathtub, let her sit in his arms, and then said: "I'm here to help you take a bath, how can you say I'm a bad person."

Murong Xueer ignored Lu Chen's words and asked directly: "The reason why the prince comes to me so late must be because of the eldest princess' matter."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "My Xue'er is so smart."

"You and she have been chatting for so long. It seems that you really have a lot of topics in common. Can you tell me what you talked about before?"

Murong Xueer replied directly: "She asked me about the women in the inner courtyard of the palace."

Speaking of this, Murong Xueer turned her head slightly, looked at Lu Chen behind her with the corner of her eyes, and then said faintly: "The prince is really capable. She is a powerful eldest princess, and she was killed just a few days after coming to the North Palace. The prince treated you obediently and considerately, and even gave her the idea of ​​becoming the mistress of the prince's palace and monopolizing you."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Want to be the mistress of the palace?"

"It's not okay to have such thoughts in Beiwang Mansion."

Murong Xueer asked: "Then what does the prince plan to do with her?"

Lu Chen said: "She wants to monopolize me. It's simple. Then I will stay with her for the next half month."

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Murong Xueer was startled and couldn't help but feel a little gloating. She knew that Wu Yunwan would suffer disaster in the next half month.

After half a month has passed, Wu Yunwan will probably be thinking about how to escape from the North Prince's Mansion.

At this time, Lu Chen stretched out his hand, lifted Murong Xueer's chin, stared at her side face and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. This afternoon ended in a hurry, and I haven't had enough."

Murong Xueer was about to say something, but Lu Chen hugged her and put her hands on the edge of the pool.

Murong Xueer felt a little helpless. She thought at this time that she really didn't know what Wu Yunwan was thinking, and she actually had the idea of ​​occupying Lu Chen alone.

…

Daxia Dynasty, Beijing.

East Palace.

After Qin Feng returned to the capital, he immediately told Prince Lu Yi that Lu Chen had agreed to their conditions. Lu Yi immediately summoned his group to the East Palace to discuss important matters.

Zhao Wenhan glanced at Qin Feng and said, "Shilang Qin, did the King of the North personally agree?"

Qin Feng replied: I agreed personally. "

Zhao Wenhan said to Lu Yi with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to His Majesty the Crown Prince. With the support of King Bei, that position is just around the corner."

Hearing Zhao Wenhan's words, Lu Yi was not particularly happy, but his face was a little solemn.

He was sitting in the main hall facing the door, looking at the starry sky outside the door, seeming to be thinking about something.

Seeing that Lu Yi didn't speak, Zhao Wenhan didn't continue talking. After a while, Lu Yi said: "Gu's father seems to be terminally ill, but with the Imperial Master by his side, he may live for more than ten years. No problem either.”

"When Gu Yi thinks that his father will suffer from the disease for more than ten years, and Gu has no way to help him, Gu feels extremely sad in his heart."

Speaking of this, Lu Yi looked very uncomfortable, as if he was really uncomfortable because Emperor Xia was ill.

Hearing Lu Yi's words, the ministers in the hall instantly understood why Lu Yi had been frowning.

Although King Bei had promised to publicly support Lu Yi as emperor, Emperor Xia was not dead, so how could Lu Yi ascend to the throne so easily.

If Lu Yi wants to be the emperor, he must at least wait until Emperor Xia dies. As for the idea of ​​letting Emperor Xia abdicate the throne on his own initiative and abdicate the throne, it is impossible for Lu Yi and the others to dare to think of it.

Not to mention that the great masters of the royal family would not agree, nor would the Imperial Master. With Lu Yi's strength, there was no way to force Emperor Xia to give up the throne.

If Emperor Xia's illness continues like this, for more than ten years, the Northern King may have led his troops south before Lu Yi became emperor.

Lu Yi knew very well that they were wooing the North King and giving him so many benefits, just to temporarily stabilize the North King. If the North King really had the ambition to dominate the world, then sooner or later the North King would go south to attack. From Daxia.

Therefore, the earlier Lu Yi ascends the throne, the more beneficial it is for people in Lu Yi's group, so that they have enough time to carry out reforms and develop military and force.

After Lu Yi finished speaking, all the ministers in the hall fell into silence for an instant, and they didn't know how to respond to Lu Yi's words.

After all, Emperor Xia is still the emperor. It is impossible for them to encourage Lu Yi to seek power and usurp the throne, and it is even less possible for them to encourage Lu Yi to kill Emperor Xia.

If they incite Lu Yi to kill Emperor Xia now, they may incite Lu Yi's children to kill Lu Yi one day in the future. As long as anyone dares to say this, Lu Yi will definitely guard against that person in the future, and there is a high probability that that person will not get it in the future. Reuse.

Of course, political things can be said but not done, but what can be done cannot be said.

Although they could not directly say that they wanted to kill Emperor Xia and seek power to usurp the throne, since Lu Yi spoke at this time, he naturally hoped to leave this problem to them to solve.

They are all veterans, and they can also hear what Lu Yi means. When you are a subordinate, you have to be good at guessing what your boss means.

Lu Yi changed the subject at this time and said: "Since the King of the North has agreed to stand on Gu's side, the Gu should also make preparations to fulfill his promise. He just wants to transfer the land north of Qi State to the King of the North. I'm afraid it won't work. It’s not that easy.”

First of all, Lu Yi is not an emperor and has no right to allocate land to vassal kings at will. Secondly, Qi State itself already has its own owner. If King Qi hears that the imperial court has allocated his fiefdom to the Northern State, he might be angry and directly bring him away. The soldiers went south to find Lu Yi to explain.

So in the final analysis, we still have to wait until Lu Yi becomes emperor before there is room for manipulation.

Zhao Wenhan once again heard the implication of Lu Yi's words. Lu Yi was hinting to them that it was time to help him rise to power. Only when he rises to power can the ministers of their group be able to share the fruit.

So what they have to do next is very simple, that is, find a way to kill Emperor Xia, and then push Lu Yi to the throne.

Zhao Wenhan said to Lu Yi at this time: "Prince, please rest assured. I believe that the Northern King is sensible and will not rush to ask you for the land north of Qi State."

Lu Yi said: "Well, that's what I said, but I still feel a little worried."

Zhao Wenhan said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry too much, just let nature take its course. Some difficulties may not be difficult after a while."

Hearing Zhao Wenhan's words, Lu Yi finally showed a smile on his face, "What Mr. Zhao said is that Gu is a little too anxious."

Lu Yi believes that Zhao Wenhan has understood what he means. The next step is to see what Zhao Wenhan and the others do. If everything goes well, he will be able to ascend the throne in less than a month.

Of course, this was just Lu Yi's whimsical idea. They didn't know that the real chess player was actually Emperor Xia himself.

Half an hour later.

Daxia, inside the palace.

Emperor Xia sat cross-legged on the dragon bed, listening to the report of the shadow guard in front of him with a dark face.

If Lu Yi were here, he would find that what the shadow guard reported was their previous conversation in the East Palace.

After the shadow guard in front of Emperor Xia finished his report, Emperor Xia sneered and said, "I didn't expect him to be unable to wait so quickly."

Having said this, Emperor Xia said to the shadow guard in front of him: "Continue to monitor, don't make any moves for the time being, and don't move their people in the palace."

Emperor Xia might not know what was going on outside, but he was very clear about what was happening in the entire capital, especially in the palace.

Those people were from the prince's faction, and he knew exactly who there were in the palace.

Those traitors who still wanted to kill him were simply overestimating their abilities and not knowing whether to live or die.

What he is most worried about now is not the traitors in the capital, but the one in the north.

Although there was no clear evidence, he still firmly believed in his heart that the assassination attempt by Taoist Hengyou and Master Tongshen failed because the celestial being from Xuanyue Palace went to Yancheng, and that celestial being was even probably still protecting Lu Chen.

As long as the heavenly being is there, it is impossible to get rid of the traitor.

This gave Emperor Xia a headache.

What he has always been most worried about is Xuanyue Palace. As a result, all the gods from Xuanyue Palace have gone down the mountain, which makes him live in fear every day. When he was a child, the scene of the gods from Xuanyue Palace chasing down the royal master is still imprinted in his mind. , he still often dreams about it when he sleeps at night.

Every time he woke up, he was covered in sweat.

However, Emperor Xia still has a question. If the heavenly being from Xuanyue Palace really came down the mountain, why didn't she come directly to the capital to take back the sacred objects from Xuanyue Palace.

Does Xuanyue Palace not know that thing is here?

Shouldn't it?

Xuanyue Palace had sent people to look for it in the palace before. Although they found nothing, they should have guessed that the thing was in the palace.

Without that thing, the royal family would not have been able to train several great masters in such a short period of time. The master of Xuanyue Palace should be able to guess it no matter how stupid he was.

Emperor Xia slowly looked at the window, and then looked at the endless night outside. He said to himself: "It seems that we have to hurry up. As long as we can activate the weapon on Fengyin Island, maybe the gods are not invincible." Overcome.”

…

North.

Time flies like an arrow, and half a month passes in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight rolled over the window sill and shone into the house. The warm light shone on people's bodies, making people feel extremely warm. The sleeping people also woke up at this time.

Wu Yunwan was lying on the bed, while Lu Chen was lying on her back, holding her waist and putting his head on her shoulder.

Wu Yunwan asked feebly at this time: "What did Murong Xueer say to you, right?" (End of Chapter)
