"Second brother is dead." At the city gate, Xiao Changyan, who was dressed in disguise, stared at the notice.
The prince is guilty of treason, and this serious crime must be announced to the world. The death penalty must be imposed on the son, and this must be made clear, otherwise how will people in the world comment on Your Majesty
The charges on the notice were clearly written, but Xiao Changyan knew that this was just the result of Xiao Changmin's defeat in the game, just like himself who was like a stray dog now.
He survived, but knew that he had completely lost the chance to compete for that position. Most of his shadow guards were killed. The defeat at Minjiang and the loss of so many elite soldiers of the imperial court were all his responsibility as the commander-in-chief. His Majesty also needed to punish him and give an explanation to the imperial court.
"Your Highness, let's go into the city." said Xiao Changfeng who was following beside him.
He was not qualified to comment on the Second Prince's affairs...
Xiao Changyan turned to look at Xiao Changfeng. His tough and handsome face was covered with bruises and scratches, and the stubble on his chin made him look particularly miserable. This time he was lucky enough to escape, thanks to Xiao Changfeng's protection. They were both seriously injured, and they thought they would be hunted down along the way, but they didn't expect to hide from place to place and arrive safely at the gate of Kyoto.
"Cousin, your wedding to Princess Huaiyang is approaching, and you and the Crown Prince will be brothers-in-law in the future." Xiao Changyan stopped there.
The strength of the Eastern Palace is almost enough to chase and suppress these brothers. If anyone can catch up with the momentum of the Eastern Palace, let alone them, even the dispute between His Majesty and the Eastern Palace may not be able to gain the upper hand, because the entire Northwest is behind the Eastern Palace.
"Your Highness, Changfeng is loyal to the monarch." Xiao Changfeng said.
He does not stand for anyone, but only obeys the emperor's orders. Today, your Majesty is the orthodox, so he is loyal to your Majesty. If someone can seize the throne in the future and still use him, he will be just as loyal. If he is not used because of his loyalty to your Majesty today, it is also his fate.
Xiao Changyan looked at the humble Xiao Changfeng, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. In order to save him, he fought with Shen Yun'an on the boat until the boat sank. Neither of them held back because they were about to become relatives. They each fought for their master with all their strength.
Xiao Changfeng is worthy of His Majesty's trust. The responsibility for this defeat lies entirely on himself.
With a long sigh of relief, Xiao Changyan walked towards the city guard and showed his jade token.
King Jing returned to the palace, and the news quickly spread throughout the city like wings. It was under the attack of these two thunderous events that Xiao Wenxi traveled lightly and quietly left Kyoto with the people from southern Shu who came to greet him.
First, His Majesty was assassinated, the Second Prince plotted rebellion, and then the Minjiang River caused tens of thousands of people to die, and the whereabouts of King Jing who had been missing for a long time returned. Both events were important events in the court, and no one except His Majesty cared about Xiao Wenxi's departure from the capital.
But Your Majesty himself was poisoned, and there was the bloody lesson of Bu Shulin's departure from the capital. The Shenyong Army was severely damaged, and Xiao Juesong was actually involved. If not for this, Xiao Changmin would not have been unable to stop Bu Shulin.
After much consideration, His Majesty only sent a few people to follow secretly. If they found an opportunity, they would take action, and if they couldn't find it, they would give up.
His Majesty no longer had the energy to stare at Xiao Wenxi. He now urgently wanted to know why the Minjiang incident had become like this.
Inside the Qinzheng Hall, Xiao Changyan and Xiao Changfeng knelt upright in front of the imperial desk. Emperor Youning stood behind the desk with his hands behind his back, looking solemnly at the two people who bowed their heads and remained silent.
