Chapter 504: Han Jing is adopted by Chi Yan as his son
"The eldest prince?"
At this time, some people were shocked when they saw the eldest prince and Duke Xu suddenly appear.
"Everyone, long time no see!"
Duke Xu also greeted everyone with a smile. Behind him, endless guards stood in two rows, completely surrounding the emperor's bedroom.
The third prince heard the noise inside and just as he pushed the door open and was about to scold the blind man, a knife was put to his neck.
Looking at the man in front of him, the third prince's eyes became fierce.
As expected, my father guessed it.
My eldest brother has been keeping a low profile these days, but today he finally couldn't help it.
The eldest prince found that the third prince looked too calm, as if he had known all this would happen.
The imperial physicians in the room were also kneeling in a heap, feeling uneasy and upset. How could they be involved in the fight for the throne?
The Queen Mother came out of the house and said calmly, "Here I come!"
The eldest prince nodded, ordered people to keep an eye on the third prince and others, and greeted the empress dowager. Without caring about his sick father, he searched the house.
He wanted to find the imperial edict of succession.
Only by destroying the imperial edict could the throne be his.
At this moment, Emperor Jiancheng moved his fingers.
The third prince made a secret gesture, and a small guard quietly left in a place that was ignored by everyone.
The eldest prince was busy looking for something and had no idea that the situation behind him had quietly reversed.
The empress dowager, who had been sitting on the Diaoyutai, had a dark face and her mouth was blocked.
The imperial doctors also opened their eyes wide, looking at the guards who appeared like ghosts, and captured them one by one.
Quiet, without making any sound at all.
Could this be the legendary dragon guard of the royal family?!
After being repeatedly hit on the shoulder, the eldest prince turned around impatiently: "Asshole..."
The next second, his body suddenly stiffened.
"Father?"
Emperor Jiancheng, supported by the third prince, stared at his audacious son with a cold expression.
The eldest prince's legs went weak instantly. When he smelled the blood coming from the house, he realized it was too late.
"Come here, arrest this rebellious son and imprison him in the Sky Prison. No one is allowed to visit him without my order!"
The door of the room opened.
The guards behind Duke Xu had already defected.
Looking at Yu Guangping who suddenly appeared, Duke Xu had nothing to understand.
This guy must have already defected to the Third Prince or His Majesty, and has been playing tricks on him.
And everything they had worked so hard to plan was actually a trap set for them by His Majesty.
It’s a pity that he was so wise all his life, but he was defeated by such a villain.
Duke Xu couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had sent his family away long ago.
Emperor Jiancheng came before Duke Xu, his face ashen, and kicked him down the stairs.
Duke Xu coughed, then suddenly laughed, "Your Majesty, you are biased! The eldest prince is clearly the eldest son, but just because the third prince is the child of that evil concubine, you indulge him again and again."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Jiancheng seemed to know what he was going to say and had someone cover his mouth.
When the Third Prince heard his mother's name, his expression changed. He clenched his fists and grabbed Duke Xu by the neck.
"You are not worthy to mention my mother's name!"
Duke Xu laughed heartily and looked at him with pity.
"Third Prince, you think you've won? Just wait and see, you'll regret it sooner or later!"
The third prince did not understand what he meant, but he knew in his heart that Duke Xu must know about what happened with his mother.
He had just gone out of the palace for a trip that year, and when he came back everything in the harem had changed.
His mother was banished to the cold palace, and he was also rejected by his father.
So he learned to please and be obedient, and when he finally came out of the cold palace, he regained everything that originally belonged to him because he shielded his father from the arrow.
But so far, he has not found out the truth of that year.
…
The Third Prince’s Mansion.
Liang Zhongling looked very happy, and he was extremely excited whenever he thought about the future situation.
"Ling Liang, do you know what happened back then?" the third prince suddenly asked.
Liang Zhongling's smile froze as he said respectfully, "I wasn't in the capital back then, so..."
The third prince was exhausted and waved his hand, asking him to leave.
Liang Zhongling left the Third Prince very briskly.
It will be soon. As long as the third prince ascends the throne, everything they have planned will be realized.
Maybe even God is on their side.
The next day, news came from the southwest border.
General Qiao was defeated and lost another city.
In the court, Emperor Jiancheng's eyes widened like a commander, and his body suddenly tilted and fell on the dragon throne.
Cao Sipei hurriedly shouted, "Call the imperial physician!"
But this time, things were obviously not so lucky.
When the imperial physician hurried over, he saw that all the officials in the court looked as if they had lost their parents.
The imperial physician paused, but still stepped forward tremblingly. He only took one look at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne and was so scared that he knelt on the ground.
His face was pale, and it was obvious that he had died a long time ago!
The sudden death of Emperor Jiancheng had an impact on the Southern Xia court that was no less than an earthquake.
The first is the faction of the imprisoned eldest prince, who are ready to make a move again.
The various forces that had long been paying attention to the situation in the capital, like a prairie fire, set off a storm in various parts of Nanxia.
Crossing the border.
General Qiao's face was full of regret.
"Madam, that boy is dishonest!"
He was referring to Han Jing.
It was obvious that the two parties had already discussed it privately. He would not leave the city, and the other party would just shout in front of the battle.
But who knew that the boy had already secretly led his troops to break out.
Fortunately, there were not many people in that city and they had evacuated long ago, otherwise he would have to die to atone for his sin.
Zhu Mingqing: "I asked Han Jing to do it!"
General Qiao was puzzled: "Why?"
That was the territory of Southern Xia, and it was directly given to the enemy country. It was hard not to doubt the lady's intentions.
The town captured by Han Jing was one that Zhu Mingqing had found long ago.
Han Jing wanted to make great achievements in the Kingdom of Yue, but it was impossible for him to really turn around and deal with the people of Nanxia.
It requires both parties to put on a show.
General Qiao still felt distressed.
But I can only comfort myself silently that what I lose now will be recovered in another way sooner or later.
At this time, a buffet was being held at General Chi Yan's mansion.
Han Jing followed Chi Yan and toasted everyone present.
"Chi Yan, you are so lucky!"
General Yongchang suddenly appeared, holding a glass of wine. He looked at the young man who remained calm despite his victory and tried to attract him again: "Han Jing, are you interested in serving under this prince?"
Chi Yan pulled the man behind him, feeling very angry. Yongchang had provoked him again and again, and now he had even come to him.
He grabbed Han Jing's wrist and said, "Since everyone is here today, I will announce that Han Jing is Chi Yan's adopted son. Please take good care of him in the future!"
Han Jing was confused.
"General..."
Seeing that he was stunned there, Chi Yan thought he was happy, so he took him behind him and toasted with the people from Yue State.
Yongchang squeezed the wine glass in his hand hard and it broke!
But Han Jing seemed to be on a smooth road, and his status rose rapidly.
It was already the second day when Zhu Mingqing learned the news.
Han Jing had a worried look on his face, fearing his wife's suspicion. "I don't know what General Chi Yan came up with. He adopted me as his son without even saying hello."
Zhu Mingqing gave a thumbs up and said, "Excellent performance, worthy of commendation."
"Ah?" Han Jing was dumbfounded.
"From now on, everything we do in Yue Kingdom depends on you!"
Han Jing had a bad feeling in his heart: "Madam...are you leaving?"
Zhu Mingqing stretched lazily: "I've been out for so long, it's time to go back!"
"The salt business..."
"I'll leave it to you too!"
Han Jing was shocked. Madam trusted him so much, wasn't she afraid that he would betray her?
Zhu Mingqing knew from his expression that the child must be overthinking it again.
However, he is still young after all, and he must be nervous when he is suddenly entrusted with such an important task.
She left General Qiao's contact information, and if she had any questions, she could directly ask General Qiao for his advice. Then she patted her butt and left with the money she had earned.
Emperor Jiancheng is dead, and they must be prepared to face the Liang family's counterattack!
