Give Him the Handle

Chapter 28 Shock

Pei Qing didn't believe that the person in the coffin was Xiao Jing. Although he was seriously ill, he would not...

Even if the rebels enter the palace, they still need to be coerced and lured to come to the imperial edict, and never dare to slay the king immediately. Xiao Yuan followed her line of sight, was silent for a moment, and took Pei Qing's hand.

He looked at Chu Li, who was crying and laughing, "Where's the prince? After declaring the edict, he also needs to be present.

Chu Li saw that Xiao Yuan finally talked to him. He was still disgusted, but he didn't care at all: "Return to the prince's words! The subordinates have set off the signal, and the prince is on his way back to the palace!"

I just found out that Xiao Yuan was not dead. Chu Li also cried and wanted to jump up and hug him. As a result, he was stared back by Xiao Yuan's fierce eyes.

Chu Li had to wipe his tears by himself, rubbed his kneeling legs, got up and went out to release the signal, and instructed the Nanchuan Army, who protected the prince outside the palace, to escort the prince back to the palace.

Xiao Yuan is too lazy to talk about him. If he hadn't knelt on the ground and cried indiscriminately, Pei Qing would not have mistakenly thought that the person in the coffin was Xiao Yuan.

But no wonder Chu Li was red-eyed. When he came back, he didn't see Xiao Yuan but saw the coffin, and his mind was also blank. He couldn't ask more questions and knelt in front of the coffin and cried.

"Your Majesty, he... How did it collapse?" Pei asked in a daze.

"Poisonous hair." Xu Da said, "The eunuch in charge of the Yangju Hall replied that His Majesty said that the queen had gone from the side door to Xuyang Palace to take care of the prince, and then issued the imperial edict to open the palace door."

"Your Majesty closed the door and was not allowed to disturb. Finally, when the forbidden army went to report the news of the victory, the servant entered the hall and found that His Majesty had... After medical examination, it was poisoned in the wine cup."

"What?" Pei Qing took a step back, and Xiao Yuan helped her.

After she brought the wine, she just turned around and moved the charcoal fire, and was drugged in the wine. One cup is under the ecstasy, and under the other is poison. She didn't understand how Xiao Jing could be so decisive. That's what he said softly about this life at that time.

"Mother!"

A child's call made Pei Qing come to his senses.

Xiao Ji'an was escorted back by the fast horse of the Nanchuan army. The army generals outside were so young that they dared to walk through the wet blood field fearlessly, ignored the bodies on the ground, and stepped straight into the Mingwu Hall.

He fell into Pei Qing's arms and finally cried out loud. He understood what the coffin meant and what he had lost. Pei Qing hugged the child and cried sadly. Xiao Yuan frowned and looked at her trembling, for fear that she would cry and faint like this.

Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Ji'an again, and he knew the pain of losing his father best. Touching the little head with a big hand, Xiao Yuan said, "The new emperor succeeded to the throne. I, Nanchuan, will follow him to the death, and I will be loyal."

In a short sentence, it weighs a thousand pounds. It means that he will support the young emperor to succeed to the throne, protect Pei Qing to sit as the empress dowager, shoveling away the remnants to calm down the turmoil. If you step in, you won't be able to return to Nanchuan in decades.

Xu Da looked at Xiao Yuan in silence. The only promise of the old prince before his death was not to allow Xiao Yuan to leave Nanchuan, let alone to get involved in political affairs and get involved in the imperial power dispute. Xiao Yuan is the only one left in their vein, and we can't let him follow in the footsteps of the old prince.

But going around, Xiao Yuan still came to the palace and almost died here. Is this a change of fate, or is it destined?

Outside the hall, the bodyguard said loudly, "I've seen the prime minister!"

Xiang Zhiyi, the prime minister of the country, came in with a solemn expression. His hair and beard were all gray, but he did not have a trace of old and softness. He ignored the salute of everyone, but walked to the coffin, knelt down heavily, and kowtowed three heads.

He watched Xiao Jing ascend the throne and knew how worried he was about national politics, and that he had not yet completed the hegemony. There are no words for regret in my heart. I can only assist the new king with all my heart, or I can repay you three points.

Xiang Zhiyi got up, took out the emperor's decree at the bottom of the totem, and said loudly, "The imperial edict of the former emperor is here, and all ministers listen to the decree!"

From the inside of the hall to the outside of the hall, all the generals, even the princes and ministers who had just entered the palace, knelt outside the hall and watched the prime minister standing at the door of the palace with the edict in his hands, unfolding the decree.

The scarlet emperor's seal was extremely majestic, but when he read the content of the above book, the country's face was stiff.

Before today, he never opened it without permission to look at it. That night, His Majesty secretly summoned him and entrusted the edict to him. Xiang Zhiyi was not as shocked at this time when he knew that he was deeply trusted by the emperor.

However, everyone held their breath, and he had to read it according to the order--

Xiao Yuan, the legitimate son of Xiao Renyu, the hereditary king of Nanchuan, is my brother and brother. He has calmed down the chaos and protected the king of driving for several times. He has made great achievements and will be able to overcome the rule. He will ascend the throne, that is, the throne of the emperor."

"The emperor's legitimate son, Xiao Ji'an, is very gifted and won my heart. When he was young, he passed on to him, changed his religion, and called Xiao Yuan his father.

"The late Empress Pei's eldest daughter, Pei Yan, made great achievements in educating the prince. She was posthumously named Huixian and buried with me in the imperial mausoleum. Pei Qing, the second daughter of the step-in-law, is gentle and graceful, and her mother is in the world. In times of crisis, the heart of protecting me can be seen. Pei's merits cannot be indelible. Specially, Pei will never be abolished."
