Chapter 333 Cheng'er, the throne cannot fall into Xiao Chengjin's hands

The weather is getting hotter.

Jiang Ruo and his group sped up a little as they were on their way.

Xiao Junze lifted the car curtain and looked at Dianzhou City in front of him, feeling secretly happy.

After lowering the curtains, he leaned back on the couch and dozed off.

Great, we will arrive in the capital within ten days.

By now, the prince's men should know the situation here.

In this way, we will definitely take precautions in advance.

The master was in a good mood, and Ji, the servant, also felt a lot more relaxed.

However, Manager Ji really didn't want to arrive in the capital earlier.

Because he knew very well that as long as Xiao Chengjin successfully seized power, the cold palace would be their final destination.

Thinking of this, Manager Ji looked at Xiao Junze who was taking a nap with his eyes closed and sighed slightly.

"well!"

"Ji Tao, why are you sighing?"

"Are you sure that I have no chance of turning things around?" Xiao Junze opened his sharp eyes and asked unhappily.

You dog slave, do you look down on me?

When Manager Ji heard Xiao Junze's tone, he knew that he was going to get angry again.

Along the way, Xiao Junze was sometimes happy, sometimes furious, and his mood was completely unpredictable.

Steward Ji quickly gathered his thoughts and said with a look of horror, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me."

"Slave, slave, I just feel sorry for you for going through so much suffering along the way, and now you are poisoned..."

At this point, Manager Ji's eyes were already filled with tears.

He wiped his tears with his sleeve and said in a sad voice, "Alas, whenever I think of these bad things, my heart is sad!"

"It's all my fault that I'm useless and can't help the emperor."

Xiao Junze, who was in a period of "distress", was still very moved after hearing these words.

He sighed slightly and began to paint a big picture.

"Ji Tao, once I have dealt with Xiao Chengjin and the others, I will give you the best mansion in the capital."

"By then, you can enjoy your old age..."

Manager Ji knew very well that these were just "big cakes", but he still knelt down with a grateful look on his face to express his gratitude.

"Your Majesty, I thank you."

Xiao Junze gave him a hand and said in a deep voice, "Get up quickly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Steward Ji stood up and sat aside, quietly breathing a sigh of relief.

Inside the carriage, the two of them staged a drama of deep affection between master and servant.

Manager Ji breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his folding fan to fan Xiao Junze.

In order to change the subject, Manager Ji said with a puzzled look on his face, "I don't know where that arrogant phoenix has gone. I haven't seen it for two or three days."

Xiao Junze picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "That witch Jiang Ruo must have hidden it."

"I tell you, the thing I regret most is giving Jiang Ruo to Xiao Chengjin for the sake of happiness."

I regret it so much that my intestines are turning green.

Manager Ji: “…”

Forget it, living with the king is like living with a tiger.

It’s better to talk less in the future!

The sun sets.

The group stopped outside an inn.

An Yi turned around to look at the man riding away on his horse with suspicious behavior, and frowned slightly.

This person deliberately restrained his aura, he must be a master...

Could it be the prince's men?

He dismounted, walked quickly to the carriage, and whispered, "Master, a suspicious man just rode away."

"Let him go!" Xiao Chengjin said and got off the carriage.

He should have been sent by Xiao Mocheng to gather information.

Jiang Ruo jumped off the carriage and came to Princess An Ran's side, "Aunt, are you tired?"

Princess Anran smiled slightly, "Aunt is not tired."

Sheng Yunshao glanced at Xiao Junze and his servant who were walking over and snorted coldly.

"Ruoxin, let's go into the inn."

Xiao Junze: “…”

This Imperial Physician Sheng really thinks that he can do whatever he wants just because he is the son-in-law of the emperor.

You refused to give me the antidote and even cursed at me.

Sooner or later, I will chop you into pieces...

Sheng Yunshao suddenly felt a chill on his back. He walked over to Princess Anran and whispered, "Ruoxin, I have a feeling someone is trying to harm me."

Princess Anran: “…”

Someone asked you for the antidote, but you refused to give it to them and even scolded them.

"With me here, no one dares to harm you."

Jiang Ruo: Wow, I didn’t expect that the old man has the potential to be a “spoiled husband”.

After Jiang Ruo and his companions entered the inn, Xiao Junze and his servants also followed them in.

The night deepens.

The closer Jiang Ruo got to the capital, the more he thought about it.

The scene of the two sides confronting each other and thousands of people fighting lingered in her mind for a long time.

Xiao Chengjin noticed that Jiang Ruo was worried, so he whispered, "Ruoruo, go to sleep quickly. We have to travel tomorrow."

"Okay." Jiang Ruo found a comfortable position and closed her eyes.

Before falling asleep, she nestled in Xiao Chengjin's arms and said drowsily, "Xiao Chengjin, if possible, I hope to take the capital without bloodshed."

Xiao Chengjin listened to the whispers in his ears and curled the corners of his lips.

He kissed Jiang Ruo's forehead lightly and whispered, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Xiao Chengjin closed his eyes only when he heard the sound of light breathing.

.......

Imperial Palace.

In the side hall of Fengyi Palace.

Xiao Mocheng sat at the table, silent.

The queen looked at her son's solemn expression and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

She thought to herself: Cheng'er, do you want to take your father's place while he is away?

No, my mother will never allow it.

You are the crown prince, the future emperor, and your mother wants you to inherit the throne in a legitimate manner.

Xiao Mocheng tapped the table with his fingers, as if to relieve his tension.

Now that you are here, tell your mother about your father’s situation!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mocheng whispered, "Mother, I came here tonight because I have something important to tell you."

Upon hearing this, the queen clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

She forced a smile and whispered, "You speak, and mother is listening."

Xiao Mocheng cleared his throat and lowered his voice, "Mother, I, I want that position..."

"no."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the queen.

The queen glared at Xiao Mocheng, her body trembling slightly with anger.

As expected...

When Xiao Mocheng saw his mother's intense reaction, his face froze.

Mother, I know what you have guessed.

Do you want to stop me?

The Queen stood up and said slowly, "Cheng'er, your mother will never allow you to do anything treasonous."

"You can obviously take that position legitimately, why are you so anxious?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mocheng immediately understood what the queen meant.

He sighed slightly and said meaningfully, "Mother, if I don't make a decision, that position will be taken away by someone else."

The queen frowned slightly, "Cheng'er, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Mocheng restrained his expression and said with feigned worry, "Mother, you may not know that when my father went to Jizhou this time, he has fallen into Xiao Chengjin's hands."

"In order to control my father, Xiao Chengjin has given him poison..."

When the queen heard this, her face turned pale and she slumped down on the round stool, holding onto the table.

What?

Such a thing actually happened.

Didn’t the emperor bring many people with great martial arts skills with him on his trip?

Xiao Mocheng looked at the queen's reaction, and a calculation flashed in his eyes.

Mother, you will support me.

After the queen came to her senses, she asked in a trembling voice, "Cheng'er, is what you just said true?"

Xiao Mocheng nodded, his face full of helplessness, "Mother, the people I sent originally wanted to find an opportunity to rescue my father."

"However, since the emperor was poisoned, they dared not act rashly."

A sinister glint flashed in the Queen's eyes. "I've already said it before, that Xiao Chengjin cannot stay."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mocheng also echoed, "I also think that we should have eradicated the problem long ago."

"But, Father is always soft-hearted..."

At this moment, the Queen looked panicked and anxious, "Cheng'er, Xiao Chengjin might really have the late Emperor's will in his hands."

"If that's the case, what should you do?"

The emperor has been poisoned, how long can he live?

In this case, Cheng'er should make plans in advance.

Xiao Mocheng picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the queen.

"Don't panic, mother. Based on the time they left Jizhou, they will arrive in the capital in about ten days."

"Therefore, I, your son, must take advantage of this period of time to make some careful plans."

"Even if he has the will in his hand, I'm not afraid..."

The queen picked up the teacup and took a big gulp of tea.

The next moment, the queen began to sob softly.

She wiped her tears and said, "Cheng'er, the throne cannot fall into Xiao Chengjin's hands."

"Take advantage of this period of time to quickly win over some ministers."

If Xiao Chengjin took the throne, the end they would face would be being banished to the cold palace.

In this way, the days of prosperity and wealth for mother and son will come to an end...

Seeing the Queen so nervous, Xiao Mocheng whispered to her in a soothing voice, "Mother, don't worry. As the crown prince of the Dayan Dynasty, I should share Father's worries."

"Once Xiao Chengjin and his men arrive in the capital, I will not only personally rescue my father, but I will also personally kill Xiao Chengjin."

The Queen nodded and said earnestly, "Cheng'er, this time you must go all out and do it. Don't be like your father... who was too hesitant and timid."

"Mother, I understand." Xiao Mocheng lowered his eyes, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

I will never be like my father.

This time, Xiao Chengjin must die, and his father must also... die unexpectedly.

He would never leave any hidden dangers.

Having achieved his goal, Xiao Mocheng didn't want to stay any longer.

Commander Wu is on patrol tonight, go talk to him.

Xiao Mocheng stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Mother, please rest early."

"I will go back first."

The queen waved her hand and said, "Back off!"

"I'll take my leave!"

After Xiao Mocheng left the side hall, Xiao Shunzi, who was waiting not far away, hurried over.

The master and servant quickly left Fengyi Palace.

"Xiao Shunzi, I'm going to meet Commander Wu." Xiao Mocheng said, quickening his pace.

Xiao Shunzi replied in a low voice: "Yes, Your Highness."

When I arrived at the imperial study, I happened to see Commander Wu coming with a team of imperial guards.

Wu Zhengyuan rubbed his eyes as he looked at the master and servant standing in front of the imperial study.

Your Highness the Crown Prince?

The imperial guards arrived at the door of the imperial study, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "We pay our respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Everyone, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Mocheng coughed lightly and said to Commander Wu, "Commander Wu, I have something to discuss with you."

"Come with me for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Commander Wu shuddered.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Commander Wu said to his brothers, "You go on patrol, I'll be back soon."

"Yes, Commander Wu."

Commander Wu followed behind Xiao Mocheng with a frown on his face.

He secretly thought: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sneaking around in the middle of the night, could he be trying to steal the imperial seal?

And he wants me to be an accomplice...
