Chapter 31 Decision

"Is the emperor really dead?" Feng Huanyu asked incredibly, "Did you see it with your own eyes or the information you heard from the guards?" He was deeply afraid of the emperor's cleverness. If that person used to pretend to die or cheat him to appear, it would be more than worth the loss. At such a critical moment, premature exposure of his strength will only cause a catastrophe.

Feng Wulin shook his head slightly, "The news is just right. The woman was placed under house arrest in the palace, and the other concubines in the harem were the same. Only the queen went in and out of Qinzheng Hall every day, and came with a few strange instructions from time to time." He paused and said thoughtfully, "Last night she summoned Feng Min to the three old ministers. After Feng Wuxi got the news, he rushed into the palace and then turned around with joy. Just this morning, another eunuch, Queen Xuan, issued an imperial edict saying that the emperor was seriously ill and that the state affairs were discussed and dealt with by Hai Guanyu and others."

At this time, the intention of declaring the emperor seriously ill was extremely obvious, so Feng Huanyu's brow finally stretched out. There is no need to release the rumors anymore. As for whether the emperor dies, it actually doesn't matter. As long as the situation is chaotic, it is afraid that the big guys in Beijing will be unable to suppress the situation no matter how capable they are.

"Wu Lin, is Feng Wuhen already on his way back to Beijing?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Prince An is probably already surrendered to this prince, so the guards are extremely strict. If you are wrong, you are afraid that these people are all elite. It is impossible to block a hundred people, and ordinary soldiers may not be able to resist these people at all." Feng Wulin's news is extremely well-informed. They have bought considerable eyes and ears in various places over the years, so the number of soldiers who follow Feng Wuhen is almost Liao Ruo's hand in his hands.

"Do you think Feng Wuhen will only bring a few people back to the capital in advance like last time?" Feng Huanyu had to consider this move. Now time is tight, so he can only attack before Feng Wuhen returns to Beijing, otherwise it would be a huge trouble. "If time is not accurate, everything will be ruined."

Feng Wulin thought for a while before denying it: "The last incident should have made him much more cautious, otherwise he would not accept Feng Wufang's kindness. He took so many elite troops and used a marching posture to clearly rush to the capital. If he intends to bring his entourage back to Beijing first, he will be sentenced to slow down the speed to cover up, and there is no need to use this posture that is like a strong wind passing through the border."

Feng Huanyu felt relieved. He had already used birds to send messages to the southwest. At this time, the Myanmar tribe had already suffered a change, and the war was probably about to begin. There was no general like Feng Wufang in the southwest. Although He Furong was an important official of the court, he was not in military affairs, so the defeat was a foregone conclusion. As long as he took advantage of the moment when the message was heard, the He Xiao family would not be able to suppress the situation. He showed a cold smile and murmured to himself: "This day has finally come."

Although they had tried their best to rush, Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng were afraid that people would see the details. After all, if there was a prince among the group, the speed would not be too fast. Not only that, their group of people was too silly, and they often encountered people sent by various prefectures and counties to inquire on the official road. Even if these delays were not counted, they would have to arrive in the capital at least ten days. Only the two leaders knew that Feng Wuhen, the prince, was not among them. Although he left almost all the accompanying guards, he had already rushed to the capital earlier with the personal soldiers sent by Prince An Feng Wufang to the capital.

Chen Lingcheng arrived at the East Palace safely through authenticity. When Hong Ru saw this adoptive father, she was immediately happy, and even her worries about her husband's safety were reduced. Although the people in the East Palace were quite surprised by Chen Lingcheng's supernatural powers, it was always better to have an extra person who could come up with ideas at this moment. Therefore, in order to save the lives and future of the people, they had to gather together again to discuss. This time, there was too much news they could use.

Unlike usual, there were a few more people in the East Palace on this day. Due to the special permission of the Queen Xiao, several people from the Zhan Shi Mansion were finally able to go out, so they all gathered here. The young Zhan Shi Zuo Jinhuan's face lost the confidence of the past, and his head was drooping, looking particularly frustrated. He really felt powerless. In a place where strength determines everything in the capital, Feng Wuhen, the prince, was not here, and the young Zhan Shi, spoke lightly. Now he was almost under house arrest in the mansion, which makes people lament when he thinks of it. Even Fan Hengwen and Li Junda were helpless. Their grades were lower than those of Zuo Jinhuan, and their family backgrounds were far inferior. The feeling of being watched by someone as a prisoner these days was really infuriating.

Since there were also four princesses of Feng Wuhen who discussed together, there were also screens in the middle. Even so, several foreign officials still seemed a little restrained. However, after a few conversations, the spirit of the people gradually became concentrated. Now it was an extraordinary moment and they had no time to waste. It can be said that even if more than half of the civil and military officials supported Feng Wuhen, it was only because he had the title of prince. If a will comes at that time, the throne would likely fall on others. Who would dare not obey the emperor's will, even if it was very likely to be a forgery.

"So, the attitude of the mother's queen is very important." Yue Qiyan said calmly, "Although I don't have much date with my mother, I have seen her several times. In addition to her superficial elegance and luxury, she has a deeper impression that she is decisive in dealing with things. According to what Your Highness said before, she is at least 70% sure about the mother's position, so we might as well make the assumption that everything at present is the result of the mother's queen's momentum." She has considered this issue many times, and when she throws it out, it can't help but have a shocking meaning.

Everyone was carefully savoring the passage that Yue Qiyan had just said. Previously, they were quite dissatisfied with Xiao's inexplicable attitude. Many people even believed that the boldness of the Admiral of the Nine Gate was from the queen's behind the scenes. Now it seems that this understanding may be indeed biased.

"Indeed, deposing the eldest and establishing the young is a taboo for emperors in ancient and modern times. What's more, if such an edict is really given at a critical moment, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the ministers and the people." Shi Jingqi nodded in agreement, "Every step the Empress took in the past is in line with the key points. If the emperor really had the intention, the edict for passing the throne would be in her hands."

This sentence has a strong sense of speculation, but everyone has to admit that the meaning of this may be facts. Just looking at the situation where several important officials were under house arrest, you will know that they may know nothing about the edict. Then, whether to die or live depends on the queen's decision.

"You must try to see my mother once." Hai Ruoxin, who had not spoken for a long time, finally couldn't help it. "I must enter the palace, otherwise it is very likely that something else would happen if I continue to do this." She ignored the shocked emotions of others and continued to say to herself, "You don't understand. Every time I entered the palace, my mother would give me a lot of things. If I had no idea, my mother would have made a decision at that time." Although her words were a little vague, her firm tone allowed others to understand something else. The Queen Xiao could point out this true wife that she could only have the demeanor of the mother. It should be noted that Hai Ruoxin is the upright crown princess. Once Feng Wuhen ascended the throne, the queen would be her belonging.

"Although this matter is not the most difficult, the risk is quite large." Chen Lingcheng was the first to react, "Your Highness the Crown Princess, are you sure you really want to do this? The palace is now in chaos, and if you are not careful, it may cause great trouble." Although he also thought it was necessary to sneak into the palace once, he did not intend to let Hai Ruoxin come forward to do such a thing.

"I have decided that if I sit there and wait for death now, I believe that we will not be able to do anything before Your Highness comes back." Hai Ruoxin retorted very firmly, "Instead of waiting here or waiting for others to come to provoke us, we might as well find out the truth and reality first."

The others looked at each other for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the stubborn Crown Princess. However, to find a way to enter the palace, it still depends on Chen Lingcheng's ability. Although the three people in the Zhanshi Mansion could enter the Eastern Palace this time, it did not mean that they could go out again, so the only ones who could enter and exit freely were those who were martial arts.

When the capital was two days away, Feng Wuhen finally ordered a temporary suspension of horses for a while. After eight days of running, he even had to sleep on the horse's back. The hard work was really not worthy of being told by outsiders. If it weren't for the secret method taught by the Ming Zhenren that year that made his body feel like he had been reborn, he would have fallen from the galloping horse's back. However, their hurried appearance obviously matched the identity of the envoy to report victory. After reading Feng Wufang's seal, the post stations that changed horses in various places changed the post horses for them without expressing any suspicion. However, among the personal soldiers selected by Feng Wufang, several of them showed irresistible fatigue.

Ming Jue stood beside Feng Wuhen without saying a word, with no expression on his face, as if the eight-day galloping did not bring any tiredness. He watched his master play with the little golden tube that never left his body, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He didn't know what was inside, the only clue was that Feng Wuhen once said that this was a treasure given by the emperor solemnly.

"Your Highness, you'd better open it and take a look." He finally couldn't help but speak, "No one knows the situation in the capital. If you break in without any reason, the consequences will be really unpredictable."
