Chapter 246 Snatching the Imperial Luck
Chu Yunning was anxious along the way, and only stayed for a short while on the way, wishing he could put on his wings to rush to Dongling.
How great would it be to have known that it would have been the first to conquer Dongling?
The journey of ten days was shortened by half, and on the morning of the seventh day, he rushed back to the army.
Xiao Jingheng looked at her slightly thin face and felt a little distressed, so he said, "Aning, go and rest first, don't be tired after working hard all the way."
Chu Yunning nodded: "Don't worry, I will not ruin my body."
So Xiao Jingheng found several deputy generals and began to discuss dealing with Dongling. Among them, Deputy General Zhang couldn't help but say: "Does the emperor really want to attack Dongling? We have just attacked Xihai, if so..."
"If it is, of course I will pursue the victory. Dongling is now in chaos. The old emperor has been dead for several months, and the new emperor has not ascended the throne. When will he not fight at this time?"
Deputy General Li shouted and patted his chest: "Your Majesty, if you want to fight Dongling, the last general is willing to be the first to charge into the battle."
He had an irreconcilable hatred with Dongling. If the emperor had not been wise, he would have been almost killed by Dongling.
The sequelae of Wusan Powder is still tormenting him. He has to make good calculations with Dongling!
"Dongling has repeatedly caused us to be injustice, and we have convenient conditions. We are guarding the border of Dongling, and we have sufficient food and supplies, so why not attack?"
"The last general also thought that Dongling must be fought this time. The wise king went to Dongling quietly, obviously to betray you, and the emperor cannot sit idly by."
After several disputes, most people agreed to attack Dongling, and only a small number of people believed that they should recuperate and rectify.
So everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Jingheng.
Xiao Jingheng's eyes sank: "Let the troops and set off today!"
"Okay! OK!" A group of generals were very excited and applauded Xiao Jingheng.
Soon the attack on Dongling was settled, and all the soldiers were ready to go.
Finally, in the evening of the next day, these things were settled quickly, and more than 300,000 troops rushed to the vicinity of Dongling Border City.
...
At that time, singing and dancing in the Dongling Palace, Concubine Dugu slowly approached a handsome man with an exquisite wine pot in her hand.
She was exposed in her clothes, with extremely exquisite makeup on her face, and knelt humbly in front of the man's knees, raised the glass of wine high, and called the prince delicately.
Who would have thought that the beautiful concubine Dugu in the harem, who was tall and arrogant in the past, would actually kneel at the feet of a man, and look willing to do so.
Xiao Jingyan took the wine from Concubine Dugu, handed it to her lips and drank it all, and then placed the wine cup heavily on the table.
Concubine Dugu looked up at Xiao Jingyan and found that his face was tense, and the cold expression in his eyes was inexplicably terrifying.
"Are the prince worried about Xiao Jingheng? Prince doesn't have to worry. You are the prince who is the late emperor's favorite prince, and Xiao Jingheng is just a short-lived ghost."
"Is that right?" Xiao Jingyan sneered. The short-lived ghost should have died long ago, but it was really incredible that he had lived for so long.
Those imperial physicians had clearly diagnosed them, but Xiao Jingheng could not survive in his thirties, and this year it happened to be him.
Why didn't people die?
Could it be that the father deceived himself?
Xiao Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If Xiao Jingheng and Chu Yunning had not gone to Qianzhou and had him unable to stay in Qianzhou, he would not have come to Dongling in advance.
"If Xiao Jingheng had no one named Chu Yunning beside him, how could he have today?
If Chu Yunning knew, Xiao Jingheng almost killed her youngest son back then..." Concubine Dugu covered her mouth and smiled: "They will definitely turn against each other, and the prince will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Xiao Jingyan frowned, but what if Chu Yunning discovered that he had pretended to be Xiao Jingheng's identity and almost killed Beibei?
Then will Chu Yunning fight hard for himself?
He had met Chu Yunning once, a very smart woman, and some things might not be hidden from her.
"Prince, Xiao Jingheng is unkind and unrighteous to you, why should you be patient?" Concubine Dugu twisted her waist and sat beside Xiao Jingyan, looking at him with a look of upturn: "Xiao Jingheng is the emperor, and there is only the second prince of the palace, just a baby. If the second prince is killed, who will inherit Xiao Jingheng's throne?"
Xiao Jingyan squinted his eyes at Concubine Dugu, and his tone was cold: "Speak directly if you want to say anything."
"Prince, Xiao Jingheng and Xiao Wang are two brothers. Chu Yunning is a broken flower and willow body, and Heli is a woman who is a good woman, but she can enter the palace. The Queen Mother and Xiao Jingheng like this child so much, is there nothing wrong with it?"
Concubine Dugu smiled sarcastically, stretched out her white and tender arm and put it on Xiao Jingyan's arm: "There are so many messy things in this harem. The old emperor still doesn't know that the Seventh Princess was born to Concubine Yun and the guards."
She was just too lazy to expose it, and she also threatened Concubine Yun to do a lot of things for this matter.
Xiao Jingyan suddenly sat upright and looked at Concubine Dugu seriously: "What do you mean is that Beibei is not the son of King Xiao, but Xiao Jingheng?"
"It must be like this!" Concubine Dugu was intrigued and put her little face on Xiao Jingyan: "The tiger poison is not eaten. King Xiao must have discovered some clues, so he attacked Chu Yunning repeatedly. Chu Yunning had this child, as if he had a protective talisman. Even the queen and the concubine were pulled down. Look, the three of them were reunited again..."
Then Concubine Dugu sat up and exhaled as if she was lying on the verge of the orchid, "Your Majesty, there is no reason why Xiao Jingheng loves other people's children so much. This matter is strange no matter how you look at it.
Since they are unkind and unrighteous, why should you care about your old love?"
The rumors these days have troubled Xiao Jingyan and have always been in a bad mood. Today, when I heard Concubine Dugu explain this, it seemed like I had cleared the clouds in front of me.
"You are smart." Xiao Jingyan's fingertips passed through Concubine Dugu's jaw and gently raised it: "In the harem over the years, my mind has become smarter and smarter."
"That's not what the prince taught well." Concubine Dugu blushed and stared at the other party silently.
Xiao Jingyan let go of his hand, moved his eyes away, reached out and poured a glass of wine and handed it to Concubine Dugu.
Concubine Dugu took the wine with joy, raised her head and said, "Prince, I have no requests, I just want you to avenge the Nancheng Palace after ascending the throne."
"Okay, I agree to you!"
"Thank you, Prince." Concubine Dugu drank it all in one go.
At this moment, the guards heard news that the army at the southern end was rushing towards the Dongling, and was fierce and unstoppable.
Xiao Jingyan held the wine cup tightly when she heard this. With a strong sound, the wine cup broke several petals in her hand. The dripping wine flowed along the bright red. Concubine Dugu felt distressed and quickly took out a handkerchief and gently wrapped it in his hand: "Prince, please calm down."
Xiao Jingyan was breathing rapidly. He didn't want to face Xiao Jingheng, so he always avoided his edge. Otherwise, he would have taken advantage of the chaos to counterattack and returned to the capital. He found an excuse to come to Dongling, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jingheng would kill him.
This tone is absolutely unbearable!
Since the other party was about to force him into a desperate situation, Xiao Jingyan decided to give it a try!
"Where is the national teacher?"
When Concubine Dugu heard this, she immediately asked someone to invite the national teacher. He paused with a gesture of singing and dancing, and all the idle people in the room retreated.
Soon the national guru rushed over. He was wearing a black robe and holding a crutch in his hand. He couldn't see his face clearly. He quickly walked towards Xiao Jingyan, who was in charge of the head; "Prince."
"No need to be polite. I believe the national master also knew that the southern end was coming to attack Dongling. What does the national master want to say about this?" Xiao Jingyan asked.
The national master pondered for a moment before saying, "If you fight head-on, the prince will be defeated."
"Bold!" Concubine Dugu suddenly shouted: "You actually dare to curse the prince!"
Xiao Jingyan waved his hand to stop Concubine Dugu's words, turned his head and looked at the national master again: "The national master continues to say."
"Yes!" said the national master again: "The prince's emperor star is getting weaker and weaker. Even if he avoids his sharp edge, he cannot escape the risk of being concealed and swallowed. These days, I watch the sky at night and accidentally peek at a secret, which may be of some help to the prince."
The national master hesitated for a moment and looked at Concubine Dugu: "The imperial concubine needs help in this matter."
Concubine Dugu was confused: "Master, please stop keeping it a secret. Just say it, what can I help?"
"The emperor's fortune belonging to the Dongling is in the prince of the Nancheng. Xiao Jingheng forcibly occupied the emperor's fortune of the prince of the Nancheng, and can survive until today. If the prince can regain this emperor's fortune, he can severely damage Xiao Jingheng." said the national master.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Dugu said, "What does this matter have to do with me?"
"Have you forgotten the Imperial Concubine? The prince was lost since he was a child and was found twenty years later. Now he is dead, but who can be sure that the one who died is the real prince? The prince of Ruonancheng was not dead?" The national teacher said again: "The throne of Dongling has been delayed, which is not conducive to the morale of the army. The princes are cowardly and cannot bear the great responsibility at all."
"What do you mean is to let me pretend to be the prince of the Nancheng King to ascend the throne?" Xiao Jingyan finally understood.
The national master nodded: "That's true. In this way, the prince can justify the revenge of a little bit of the emperor's fortune, and also get rid of the orders of the late emperor in the south. His Highness of the Virtuous King has not rebelled. So what reason does the southern terminal have to attack Dongling?"
