The Linhua Palace is located on a high platform. Xiao Mubai leaned by the window and looked down at the Qianzhonglou Tower below. A palace coup also occurred. The Xiao Kingdom's palace was in devastation, but the Liang Kingdom's palace was still solemn and gorgeous. .
"How is your father?" King Liang saw his hands clenched behind his back and knew that although his face was calm, there must be thousands of thoughts in his heart.
"He was really injured this time and is still recuperating." Xiao Mubai turned slightly sideways, and the sunlight slanted in from the outside, illuminating him thoroughly, like a son of God made of glass, beads and jade.
While speaking, rustling footsteps came from outside the palace. Prince Liang's eyes moved from Xiao Mubai to the door, and he saw Jian Ruilin entering the palace one step ahead of Xu Jing, with a look of grievance on his face.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate was almost killed by that Duke Qiao..." Jian Ruilin spoke out, slightly choked with sobs.
However, before he could speak, King Liang interrupted him with another cough. He glanced at the window and winked at him.
Jian Ruilin followed him and looked at him out of the corner of his eye. After being slightly stunned, his face turned a strange blush of embarrassment.
The atmosphere became a little weird for a while, and King Liang pretended to scold him: "Why don't you explain to him that you are pretending to surrender."
Xiao Mubai walked slowly towards him in the sunshine: "It's me, I didn't give him a chance to say it."
It's really no wonder that Xiao Mubai directly attacked Jian Ruilin. Although the operation last night had been planned for a long time, time was of the essence. Everything happened in a flash of lightning, and the slightest mistake could lead to failure.
As the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, Jian Ruilin was extremely familiar with the palace. At that time, Xiao Mubai thought that he had rebelled and became one of Gu Younian, so naturally he could not be allowed to stay.
What's more, Xiao Mubai himself was pretending to be an envoy from the Western Regions at that time, and others had done evil tricks to Jian Ruilin, and they would not listen to his arguments.
King Liang's words of relief just now were also true. Although he had been planning for such a long time, he had infiltrated many people under Gu Younian.
But the most critical thing is that Nian Heng and his son Gu Xiangpei cannot be won over no matter what.
Not only did Xiao Mubai not use the trump card he had left behind, but without knowing it, he was afraid that his people would get in the way, so he directly controlled them all, and captured Nian Heng and Gu Xiangpei, without leaking anything at the same time. Wind, this is the key to his ability to fight without bloodshed.
After hearing Xiao Mubai's words, Jian Ruilin smiled gratefully at him and nodded frequently towards Prince Liang.
He wanted to say that, but from beginning to end, he didn't even see a corner of Xiao Mubai's clothes.
King Liang patted Jian Ruilin's shoulder to express comfort. He turned around and was about to speak when Xiao Mubai came over and bowed respectfully to him: "Since the king is fine, I will leave now."
King Liang frowned. He meant leaving, not retreating.
King Liang held his wrist with one hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you going to Yucheng now?"
Xiao Mubai's eyes fell on the hand he held on his wrist: "The Xiao Kingdom and Hu and Mongolia are both at war."
King Liang relaxed slightly. He had received a little bit of the news. He pondered for a while and then said: "Is it necessary for Lu Chinum to attack the border to relieve Han Yang's pressure?"
Lu Chinzhao was a general stationed at the border between Hu and Liang. King Liang's move had the intention of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, and what he said was indeed a good intention.
Xiao Mubai thought for a moment and shook his head in refusal: "Liang and Hu have just gotten married, and the king is doing this for no apparent reason. It will also put Hu Zhijing in an embarrassing situation."
King Liang looked a little stunned. He didn't expect that he would refuse this kind offer, and he was thinking about Hu Zhijing's situation. When Princess Hu expressed her love to him, he didn't see him treating her in a different light.
Xiao Mubai accepted her love to protect the queen to the death during the palace change.
Furthermore, if he wants to promote Liang Shaoxuan to the throne, how can he let his prince concubine Hu Zhijing have something to say.
There is still a little bit of selfishness left, and Xia Chu has a good personal relationship with her.
"I will take care of things there myself. Before I leave, I have two more things to ask the king for."
King Liang recovered from his surprise and raised his eyebrows at him: "Tell me and listen."
"The Western Regions secretly communicated with Gu Xiangpei to persecute the civil strife in Liang, so the previous engagement between Princess Su Ran and the regent of the Western Regions should be cancelled."
A playful smile appeared on King Liang's face: "You really took the trouble, what about the second thing?"
"People from the Gu family, please show mercy to the king and leave it to Xian Li." Xiao Mubai knew that this matter was against the law. As a co-organizer, Gu Younian, and his sister was a concubine in the harem, so it was not his turn. Xian Li went to deal with it.
He saw the smile on King Liang's face getting colder, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, and whispered in King Liang's ear: "Your Majesty, why is it that after twenty years of loyalty, it can't be defeated by one trick and four or five idle times?" Say it. Either rehabilitate the Li family, or let his descendants kill their enemies. This is not what you owe Mr. Li, but an explanation you owe to the loyal and good ministers of the Liang Kingdom."
King Liang's tough face that had just hardened was softened. After he succeeded to the throne, Gu Younian, as an important minister of the two dynasties, dominated the court. Relying on his high position and power and being a relative of the emperor, he simply thought that the dynasty of the Liang Kingdom The surname of Tang is gone.
Although he knew the truth about Li Yuanchi's case, he couldn't save it with all the evidence, so he could only try his best to save him a pair of children.
Later, he heard Jian Ruilin's report that on the day of Li Yuanchi's execution, the whole city spontaneously went into mourning, and he was deeply moved by this for a long time.
"Uncle..." Xiao Mubai saw that his expression softened, and his tone softened a little.
This was the first time he had called his uncle since he entered the palace today. The King of Liang had also known before that he was filled with frustration, and he shouted stiffly one after another.
Now, seeing him bowing down like this, he sighed and waved his sleeves: "I know."
Seeing that he finally relaxed, Xiao Mubai cupped his hands and turned around to walk out of the hall.
Seeing that he had left without any worries, King Liang called out to his back: "Aren't you going to see the queen?"
Xiao Mubai froze, and after a moment of silence he said softly: "Let's wait until Princess Su Ran leaves the temple and visit the Queen together..."
Now that he knew that the Queen was deprived of her rights as a mother by King Liang because of him, how could he go to see the Queen calmly
He could only hope that when everything was over, he and Xia Chu would come together, and Xia Chu could heal the queen's body and give them a child.
Only in this way can he have the face to see her again...
Nowadays, the war between Xiao and Meng is tense, and the news of Zhao Xingwen's sacrifice does not know how big a blow it will bring to General Zhao. He must rush over as soon as possible.
Prince Liang looked at his back and sighed to General Qiao: "This kid used to be cold and cold-hearted. When did he become so emotional? This is the biggest taboo for a king... "
