The entire state of Qi was in turmoil, the emperor passed away, and the whole country mourned together. Although Zhao Yong was too romantic before his death, he was able to make the state of Qi strong, and the people lived and worked in peace. sad things.
The people outside the palace are mourning, but the palace is not peaceful now.
As soon as Zhao Rao returned to the imperial capital, she knew that Zhao Yong was critically ill. When she was about to enter the palace, the eldest prince and the second prince jointly blocked her from outside the palace.
The second prince had no hope, but he wanted to take revenge, to avenge his mother and concubine.
He persuaded the eldest prince to make him think that the emperor was determined to make the third prince the heir apparent, and the two people who had been enemies for a lifetime joined forces, intending to make a will before Zhao Yong's death and make the eldest prince the new emperor.
At that time they wanted to kill Zhao Rao and Cheng Zheng, but they underestimated Zhao Yong's ability. Even though Zhao Yong's illness suddenly worsened, he was not defenseless. He endured it just to wait for Zhao Rao and the others to come back.
In order to clear the obstacles for the third prince in the future, Zhao Yong showed weakness to see how far these two sons could do, but he didn't expect that these two sons had little other abilities, but they were more cruel than anyone else, even their own brothers and sisters refused let go.
As a result, the first and second princes were naturally arrested, and Cheng Zheng led his troops to directly control them all. Zhao Rao and the third prince met Zhao Yong smoothly.
"What are you thinking?" When Cheng Zheng walked into the imperial study, he saw Zhao Rao standing beside the desk in a daze, so he walked over lightly.
Zhao Rao recovered, "It's nothing."
"Thinking about the emperor? I mean... the former emperor." Cheng Zheng looked down at Zhao Rao who was dressed in plain clothes, and knew that she must be in a bad mood at the moment. She still has deep feelings for Zhao Yong.
"I didn't expect him to be so sudden..." Zhao Rao said in a low voice. When she heard that Zhao Yong was seriously ill, she thought it was the same as before, as long as she took medicine, she would be fine. Isn't Yaoyao a miracle doctor
It just went away like this.
Cheng Zheng said in a low voice, "The late emperor's health was not very good."
"How is the emperor?" Zhao Rao shook his head, not wanting to mention Zhao Yong again.
"I fell asleep crying just now." Before Zhao Yong died, concubine Hui died suddenly. The third prince believed it was true, but Zhao Rao and the others knew that it was Zhao Yong who was guarding concubine Hui.
Zhao Rao sighed lightly, "By the way, what's going on in Da'an Mansion?"
"When Mo Ronghui rebelled, I'm afraid someone else is manipulating it. Although we are in the midst of a national funeral, we cannot stand idly by." Cheng Zheng said.
"You want to go to Da'an Mansion?" Zhao Rao looked back at him abruptly.
Cheng Zheng stretched out his hand to caress her cheek, "Da'an Mansion's threat is not only aimed at the State of Jin, but those who take Duxing Pills are also from our State of Qi."
"I know, we send troops to help, so don't go yourself." Zhao Rao said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I haven't married you yet, so nothing will happen." Cheng Zheng said with a smile.
Zhao Rao glared at him lightly, "Who thought of this."
Cheng Zheng smiled, "By the way, there is one more thing. Princess Ning is pregnant and cannot come. Murongyi is already on the way."
"Of course Ah Ning can't come, and it's the same for Murong Yi." Zhao Rao said.
…
…
Kingdom of Jin, the imperial palace.
"Your Highness, Da'an Mansion is too dangerous now, we can't go there." Yan Xiaoliu asked all the palace people to go down, and talked with Mingxi inside.
"It's not safe in the first place, why can't we go?" Ming Xi tidied up his things neatly, "Father is going to set off to conquer Da'an Mansion today, and Father will definitely go with him when the time comes. We will leave after they leave."
Yan Xiaoliu didn't expect Ming Xi to change his mind, "Your Highness..."
"Don't you want to know the truth?" Mingxi asked, "The truth you know from other people's mouths is different from the truth you seek yourself."
"I want to go to Da'an Mansion alone." Yan Xiaoliu lowered his head, he was afraid that Ming Xi would be in danger, Ming Xi is the noble prince of Jin Kingdom, how dare he go to Da'an Mansion with the prince to take risks.
Ming Xi raised his head and looked at him lightly, "What danger do you think I will be in? Xiao Liu, there are not many people who can hurt me."
"But..." Yan Xiaoliu was still worried.
"My things are almost packed, and the outside is also arranged, are you going or not?" Mingxi asked lightly.
Yan Xiaoliu took a deep breath, "I'm going to pack my things!"
He turned and opened the door, and a pink mass fell at his feet.
"Mingyu?" Yan Xiaoliu looked at the powder dumpling at his feet in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Where are you going? I'm going too." Mingyu got up from the ground, looking at Mingxi and Yan Xiaoliu curiously with bright eyes.
Mingxi said, "We're not going anywhere, you go back quickly."
"Liar." Mingyu exclaimed softly, "I heard it clearly just now, you are going to leave the palace, and I will go too."
"No!" Ming Xi and Yan Xiaoliu said at the same time.
Mingyu pursed her lips, "If you don't take me there, I'll send someone to tell my grandfather and uncle."
The emperor father and the queen mother are not in the palace, but there are also grandfather and little uncle, and they will definitely not be allowed out of the palace.
Yan Xiaoliu and Mingxi looked at each other, "Mingyu, we're not going out to play."
"I'm not going to play either." Mingyu said.
"You're too young to go out with us." Ming Xi frowned, it doesn't matter if he goes to Da'an Mansion by himself, he absolutely can't bring Ming Yu there.
Mingyu stared at Mingxi, "You are the same age as me, just an hour older than me."
"That's your brother too." Mingxi said, "Mingyu, we are going to a very dangerous place, and we really can't take you there. When we go out of the palace to play, we can take you there again, okay?"
"No, no, I just want to go with you." Mingyu hugged Yan Xiaoliu's arm tightly, "I won't make noise, brother, Xiaoliu, just take me with you."
Yan Xiaoliu was worried, it was already very risky to go out of the palace with Mingxi, and he absolutely couldn't take Mingyu out again.
"Okay, you go back and pack your things." Ming Xi nodded in agreement, and gave Yan Xiaoliu a faint look.
"Your Highness..." Yan Xiaoliu called out.
Mingyu cheered happily, "I'll clean it up right away."
Seeing the figure of Fen Tuanzi running out quickly, Yan Xiaoliu looked at Mingxi disapprovingly, "Your Highness, Mingyu doesn't understand anything, how can..."
"That's right, before she comes over, let's leave the palace right away." Ming Xi said.
Yan Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, and just left Mingyu behind
"Hurry up?" Mingxi asked, "Are you going to wait here for Mingyu to come to you?"
"No, no, let's go." Yan Xiaoliu said immediately.
