The banquet ended quickly, and the next step was to prepare for the national funeral, while Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu were thinking about how to make King Ming die in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It would be best to kill him openly. The two looked at each other. Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Jiu'er, do you have any good ideas?"
Qian Jiujiu narrowed his eyes: "Actually, the opportunity has been placed in front of us. King Ming killed our late emperor and imperial concubine of Great Zhou. Isn't this enough?"
"If he hadn't poisoned the new emperor, the mother-in-law would not have hanged herself to save the new emperor, and the previous emperor would not have died in love with the mother-in-law. So it is all the fault of this Mingwang."
"So King Ming must die. After all, this princess is a miracle doctor, but the late emperor and his mother died of poisoning. This poison happens to come from the Qian Kingdom. Isn't this a problem?"
Mu Yexiao thought for a while, and it was better to let his father be killed by a traitor than to die for love, if this happened to ordinary people.
There may still be rumors about that person's affection, but after all, my father is the king of a country, and it is really inappropriate to abandon the world for a woman. He glanced at Qian Jiujiu.
The cause of Emperor Lian's death was arranged very well. Thinking of this, Mu Yexiao suddenly stood up: "You have a rest, I will go into the palace to find the emperor and ask him to issue an order."
"Capture King Ming and sacrifice his life to his father and mother."
Qian Jiujiu hummed: "Then you go, I'll wait for you to come back at the house."
Mu Yexiao got up and went into the palace, while Qian Jiujiu closed his eyes and fell asleep. Unfortunately, his wish was good. As soon as Qian Jiujiu closed his eyes, he heard the voices of people outside.
"Is my sister up?"
When he heard that it was Xiaoman who had arrived, Qian Jiujiu knew that he might not be able to sleep. He sighed, got up resignedly, and summoned someone outside.
"Xiao Man, come in, I'm already awake."
Xiaoman came in with breakfast: "I made breakfast for you. It's getting late and your husband has entered the palace. You are still sleeping in here. Your baby will come to pay his respects later."
"It's so bad that you are still sleeping after people see you coming from south to north."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Xiao Man: "Are you used to getting up early in the Prince's Mansion, so you come to torture me when you come back?"
"By the way, how are you doing in the Prince's Mansion these days?"
Xiaoman turned around: "What else can we do? Just like that. By the way, sister, when will my brother-in-law return to the battlefield? Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, there won't be much trouble in Kyoto."
Qian Jiujiu shook his head: "This matter is not certain yet. Why are you so anxious about Mu Yexiao going to the battlefield? Do you want to go?"
Speaking of this, Qian Jiujiu's eyes suddenly widened a little: "You don't want to see Gu Xiangning, do you? Xiaoman, do you have a crush on her?"
Xiaoman looked at Qian Jiujiu's eyes with the light of gossip, and felt helpless: "You are overthinking, I just think it's so boring in Kyoto."
Qian Jiujiu exclaimed: "It's boring to fight with the Ren family all day long. There really wasn't much entertainment in ancient times. Are you interested in killing people?"
"Speaking of which, has Gu Xiangning contacted you during this time? I don't even know the situation at the border. Did something happen to the mother and daughter?"
Xiao Man glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "I got in touch. Gu Xiangning wrote to me. The mother and daughter seem to be particularly quiet during this time, but they must be brewing some big conspiracy."
While talking, Qian Jiujiu had already gotten up, washed up, and was eating breakfast at the table while talking to Xiao Man: "It seems that you two have a very close personal relationship."
Xiao Man frowned: "I always think what you said is weird. What do you mean by a close personal relationship?"
Qian Jiujiu shook his head in a funny way: "It's okay. I've eaten enough. It's time for the two children to come over. Let's go and meet them. I'm afraid I'll have to be busy for a while before the national mourning."
"As for going to the border, it should be soon. We will meet your brother Xiangning soon."
Qian Jiujiu said that without waiting for Xiao Man's answer, he turned around and walked out. Xiao Man stomped his feet angrily: "Stop, what do you mean by my brother Xiangning? I give you your brother Xiangning!"
There was a burst of laughter from the front: "He is my brother Xiangning. Why, isn't it right? I am his cousin. This relationship is really messy, don't you think?"
Xiao Man rolled his eyes and saw two children coming in, throwing themselves at Qian Jiujiu's feet, each holding one Qian Jiujiu's calf: "Mother concubine."
Two soft and waxy sounds made Qian Jiujiu's heart melt: "Hey, my darlings, please give me a kiss."
He lowered his head and kissed each of the two children on their faces. The maids looking around were stunned, and Aunt Ping coughed: "Princess."
Qian Jiujiu raised his head and looked at Aunt Ping: "Aunt Ping has something to say? By the way, have the princess and the crown prince already had breakfast?"
"I have already used it when I replied to the princess."
Aunt Ping originally wanted to say that the princess's move was too frivolous, but in the end she held back. After all, the princess was the master and she was the slave. She was worried that she would make Qian Jiujiu angry if she said the wrong thing.
After all, she no longer has the backing of Concubine Qing. Qian Jiujiu didn't notice that Aunt Ping hid some words, but she didn't care.
He started playing with the two children, but he was thinking in his heart that Mu Yexiao should have arrived in the palace by this time. I wonder how the discussion went
At this time, in the main hall of the palace, Mu Yexiao was discussing with the current emperor Mu Yexing, and told the emperor exactly what Qian Jiujiu meant just now.
"What does the Emperor think?"
Mu Yexing frowned: "I'm just a little worried. Can Da Zhou deal with Qian Guo and Ning Guo at the same time? Wouldn't it be too strenuous, and what if Qian Guo and Ning Guo cooperate."
"Are you afraid that Dazhou is in danger?"
Listening to the emperor's words, Mu Yexiao smiled: "This is impossible. After all, Da Zhou is in the middle. It would be impossible for the two countries to ignore Da Zhou's cooperation."
"What's more, now that the Three Kingdoms are at a stand, no one can trust anyone else, and there is no cooperation. What's more, Princess Qingling's death is already doomed, and Dazhou and Qianguo can only be in opposition!"
Mu Yexing looked at Mu Yexiao and said with full confidence, and he also wanted to avenge his father in his heart, not to mention that King Ming had done something to him.
Speaking of which, the person who hates King Ming the most is him: "Then I will ask someone to issue an imperial edict. You take the imperial edict to arrest King Ming and bring him to justice."
Mu Yexiao then saluted: "I obey your order."
Soon Mu Yexiao headed towards the post house with the imperial edict. As soon as he left the palace, he summoned a guard and asked the guard to go to Prince Xiao's Mansion to invite Princess Xiao Qian Jiujiu.
After all, in addition to being a master of poison, King Ming was also a master of poison. Mu Yexiao would not bring his own bodyguards to die, at least there should be some by his side.
Only those who can detoxify can act. Soon the guards came to Xiaowang Mansion, met Qian Jiujiu, and explained their purpose. Qian Jiujiu knew that Mu Yexiao was going to take action.
He glanced at Xiao Man and said, "Are you interested in going together? If not, just stay at home to coax the baby."
Xiaoman snorted: "Of course I'm going, then go quickly."
The two followed the guards and went out. Of course, they were accompanied by their respective maids. They soon met up with Mu Yexiao, who looked at Qian Jiujiu.
"Jiu'er, I'm going to trouble you this time. After all, King Ming is very good at using poison."
Qian Jiujiu hummed: I know that the prince did the right thing. Let's leave quickly, lest Prince Ming get wind of it and run away later. "
When Mu Yexiao heard this, he speeded up and headed towards the inn. There are already guards waiting at the inn.
Seeing Mu Yexiao and others arriving, he knelt down and said, "I have met the prince and the princess."
Mu Yexiao waved his hand: "No need to be polite, is Prince Ming still in the inn?"
"Yes, the villain has been guarding the door and did not see Prince Ming come out."
After the guard finished speaking, Mu Yexiao walked in quickly and saw Prince Ming sitting in the room, looking at Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu with a calm expression.
As if he could predict what was about to happen next, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, and then Mu Yexiao said, "King Ming is still so calm until now. He is really extraordinary."
Prince Ming smiled: "So what if I don't calm down? In fact, when I set out, I also thought about such a day, but I still came without hesitation."
"Do you know what it is for?"
Mu Yexiao shook his head: "I don't know, and I don't want to know. Now if His Excellency Prince Ming has figured it out, then please give up resistance and come with us."
Prince Ming laughed heartily: "Do you think this is possible? Although I am not a powerful figure, I am also a wise king of my generation. How could I just admit defeat like this?"
"Although you don't want to hear it, I still want to say something. At the beginning, when I came here, I actually wanted to see my sister."
Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows: "Does King Ming think it's useful to play the family card at this time? I don't want to talk so much nonsense to you, since you dare to attack my mother, concubine and father."
"Then you have to bear this responsibility. On the day of my father's death in three days, that is when you will lose your life. If you use your life to compensate for my father's life, you will still make money."
"And your country, Qian Country, will be submerged in history sooner or later. Now that you are dead, it is my king who has helped you, at least so that you are not a slave to the subjugation of the country."
A trace of anger flashed across Prince Ming's face: "Are you so cruel in front of me that you don't even care about blood and family ties?"
Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows: "Blood ties? This king is the son of the Queen Mother and the late emperor of Zhou Dynasty. What does it have to do with your country!"
Prince Ming's eyes suddenly widened: "It's impossible. Aren't you my sister's child? That's right. How could a princess who left the Qian Kingdom give birth to a living child? I was deceived."
