Fortunately, the king is sensible, and Rong Changan's heart is at ease. Out of gratitude, she bowed her knees gracefully and saluted the king:
"Thank you King for trusting Xue'er so much, Xue'er is very grateful."
Seeing her kneeling, the kings hurriedly took a step forward, stretched out both hands, and supported "Xue'er".
"Your concubine, please! Your concubine helped me stabilize the palace, and the emperor of your country risked his life to rescue me. I am the one who is so grateful!"
The king already had a crush on Rong Chang'an, and when he stretched out his hand, it was extremely gentle, not to mention looking at his tender eyes, it was just this support, one could tell how much he admired "Concubine Xue".
Rong Chang'an's body trembled slightly, and a faint red color appeared on his face. She coughed twice, and the king realized that he was losing his composure, so he quickly let go of his hand and turned sideways.
After a while, he just asked: "Concubine, what do you think we should do now? The soldiers are overwhelming the city, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived. If they attack the city, we may hold it for a few days?"
It doesn't matter if he abdicates, what he's afraid of is that Ma Wu's mind is not right, and in the future the whole Tianchi country will be turned into a mess, and the people will suffer.
Rong Chang'an came to the door and looked out of the imperial study room, he saw the smoke rising and Huajiao screaming. The entire red sky suddenly became chilling.
Watching and listening to the impending war, Rong Chang'an's slender eyebrows could not help but tucked into a trace of worry.
"What we have to do now is to close the sixteen gates tightly, not to fight with the prince, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then cooperate internally and externally to kill him without leaving any. Waiting is our best strategy now."
She turned around, but she didn't dare to face the king directly: "Your Majesty, why don't you write a letter to the prince, saying in the letter that you know that you have committed a serious crime and intend to abdicate, but you have to think about it for a few days, and then open the door to accept the surrender." , and pass the kingship to the prince."
The king naturally knew that this was a plan by "Concubine Xue" to delay the attack: "The prince is so cunning, how can he believe such words?"
"What the prince wants most is the throne," Concubine Xue said with confidence on her face, "Why does he care about waiting two more days to get the throne? What I'm afraid of is..."
The king followed her words and asked, "What is the noble concubine afraid of?"
"Who else could it be?" When Rong Changan mentioned this person, his face turned a little disgusted, "It's the princess! She is very scheming in the city, I'm afraid the prince will let her read your letter, and she will resolutely accept your letter." I won't believe it." Rong Changan sighed, "But for the present plan, I can only write to the prince with the mentality of giving it a try. If the prince doesn't believe it, then it's another matter."
"Okay, I'll write it now."
Without further ado, the king ordered the eunuch to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and spread the yellow paper on the table.
The king opened his frozen hands, soaked the ink until he was full, and wrote a book of ten thousand words with a pen. After writing, the eunuch blew on the yellow paper with his mouth, and waited for the ink to dry before sealing it with wax and putting it in a delicate yellow box. This box is usually used to hold rice and imperial edicts.
The king felt that something was wrong, so he wrote a few more words on the box: "Prince, Your Majesty!"
Call a reliable guard, hand him the letter box, let him take it out of the palace, and hand it over to the prince himself. Seeing that it was a letter written by the king to the prince, Li Hao directly sent troops to escort the guard to the prince's mansion, and the guard handed the letter to the prince. At that time, Li Ying was also in the study.
"What is this?" Li Ying looked at the box in the prince's hand suspiciously.
The prince has already regarded Li Ying as his wife and concubine, so he evaded the taboo, smiled triumphantly, and stood up the box for Li Ying to read: "My elder brother wrote it to me! Hehe, I want it to be an edict of abdication, that's fine." !"
Li Ying snorted: "You think beautifully! With Concubine Xue by his side, will he abdicate?" She couldn't wait to read what was written in the letter, "Open it and have a look!"
The prince was about to open the letter in front of Li Ying. The guard hurriedly stepped forward, put his hand on the box, and looked at the prince with pleading eyes: "The king has a decree. This letter can only be read by the prince alone. !"
A suspicious light flashed in the prince's eyes: "Why?"
The guard's hand was still on the box: "The king said that this involves the secret of the abdication, and it must not be known to outsiders!"
When Li Ying heard this, she became angry, her almond eyes widened, and she pointed at the guards and scolded: "Am I an outsider? I'm a princess! How can the prince see it, but I can't? What are you? Put your hand on the box and prevent the prince from opening it? Believe it or not, your head will fall off when the prince shouts?"
The guard's heart was pounding: If you were not an outsider, how could you unite with the prince to rebel against the king
"Princess, it is clearly written on the box. The prince personally opened it. This is the king's intention. How dare the villain take it easy."
Li Ying's eyes shifted to the prince: "My lord, are you really going to take this letter back to your room and read it secretly? Do you know that this is the king deliberately trying to drive a wedge between us and create suspicion between us. "
When the prince heard the word "abdicate", he was already overjoyed, and comforted Li Ying with a smile: "Perhaps, my elder brother does have a secret about the family, and I don't want outsiders to tell it? Little boy, just let me read it first." , if there is no secret at all, how about I let you see it again?"
In front of the guards around the king, Li Ying called her "little darling", and Li Ying's face turned red with embarrassment, and she scolded in her heart: Ma Wu, you bastard, you don't care about the occasion when you speak, you're not serious!
"No, I want to watch here!" How could Li Ying lose face in front of a small guard.
Once she wants to get stronger, the prince has no choice but to say, "Then let's watch together."
The guard cried out in his heart: If the princess is allowed to see it, the princess will definitely not agree to procrastinate!
The prince untied the yellow tassel, opened the lid of the box, took out the golden letter, put it on the table and opened it, the prince and Li Ying read it side by side. The content of the 10,000-word letter is actually very simple. It even used more than 5,000 words to describe the memories of the king and the prince's love for each other when they were young. This is because the king wants to move people with love, so that the prince can rein in the precipice in time, so that the two brothers can get back together.
Li Ying saw it and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, you two brothers, you are a royal family, and you even stole things when you were young? The king took all the responsibility on you to prevent you from being punished by the old king. .You old brother, I have a lot of feelings for you!"
When the prince watched it, he was also a little moved, but when he heard Li Ying's teasing words, he became cold again, coughed twice, clapped his hands, and said seriously:
"That happened when I was a child, and I don't know why my brother got so crazy that he even brought out such a thing!"
Li Ying's eyes were full of strangeness: "Prince, can you really not see what he means?"
The prince's attention was focused on the last word: "He said that I would give him two days to consider before deciding whether to give me the king's seat."
Li Ying sneered, curling her lips: "This way you are all happy! Your elder brother is tired of being a king, and you have the courage to go in and get what you need. The two brothers are reconciled, and the whole family is full of joy. What about me?"
She suddenly stared at the guard delivering the letter, "It's like he said, I'm just an outsider, and when you are reunited, none of you will pity me anymore, and leave me in the wilderness and ignore you."
As she spoke, Li Ying took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, crying and sobbing.
The prince quickly came over and grabbed her hand: "Princess, what are you talking about? I absolutely have no reason to regard you as an outsider."
"Hmph, that's not it! If you believed the king's rhetoric, you would regard me as an outsider." Li Ying said complainingly, wiping her nose, "If you listened to the king's words, you would fall for Concubine Xue. Strategies, there is no place to die!"
The prince was shocked: "Princess, what do you say? What conspiracy is hidden in the king's letter?"
"Why did the king tell you about the old millet and rotten sesame seeds?" Li Ying pouted, pointing to the letter on the table.
The prince's eyes were confused: "Maybe he misses the harmony we had at that time!"
