Chapter 570 What does Yuan Xiaonian mean?
Zi Yunlai didn't say anything, but in fact he knew everything in his mind. He knew what these officials were like and what kind of mess he would leave for Zi Tong in the future.
But there was no way, he didn't have the ability or energy to deal with these.
He could only hope that God would once again favor the Zi family and Dongchu.
He gave a look to the young eunuch next to him.
The young eunuch immediately ran away again.
The entire hall fell into silence again, as if waiting for a knife to fall on its head.
Bai Yu'an glanced at Yuan Xiaonian next to him, asking him with his eyes whether he should say something. Yuan Xiaonian shook his head and refused.
Bai Yu'an withdrew his gaze and did not take any action. However, he could not help but think of what Wei Changkong had just said. He thought that perhaps Yuan Xiaonian would really become the master of Dajin in the future. Then... would Yuan Xiaonian attack Dongchu as Wei Changkong worried?
The current situation in Dongchu is obviously very bad. When Zi Yunlai dies, Zi Tong will become the young emperor. Facing these ministers with ulterior motives, what will become of this country?
Soon, the young eunuch came back, followed by several people carrying a brazier.
Many officials' eyes lit up when they saw the brazier, and they obviously guessed what Ziyun was going to do.
Several people put down the brazier and left immediately.
"I think what you say makes sense. Regardless of whether Wei Changkong's words are true or not, I am willing to trust you again and give you another chance."
Zi Yun said as he threw the manual into the brazier, "No matter what you have done before, or what inappropriate thoughts you have, I hope that these things will become the past with this booklet. Let bygones be bygones, for the future of Dongchu, I will start over with you!"
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!" Most of the ministers kept thanking Zi Yunlai, and they did not hide the joy on their faces.
Of course, there were also some ministers who just knelt there, shaking their heads silently, obviously thinking that Ziyun's visit was inappropriate, but they were a minority after all, and there was no point in saying more.
A farce, a banquet that changed the course of Dongchu history, finally ended.
Zi Yunlai took Zi Tong away, and Yuan Xiaonian and others were also sent back to Yunzhao Pavilion.
At this time, it was completely dark.
On the way back, Li Suining looked up at the stars again, and for a moment, she stopped where she was.
Bai Yu'an instantly understood what his sister had seen, so he deliberately walked at the end, keeping a distance from Yuan Xiaonian and the others.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Bai Yu'an asked in a low voice.
Li Suining's eyes turned red, and big tears slowly fell, "Second brother, the emperor uncle is dying."
"So fast?" Bai Yu'an was slightly surprised. In the past few days, he took Zi Yunlai's pulse almost every day. Although he could not change the fact that Zi Yunlai was going to die, he should not speed up the matter.
He couldn't help but whispered, "When?"
Li Suining leaned sadly on Bai Yu'an's shoulder and sobbed softly, "Tomorrow."
"How could that be?" Bai Yu'an couldn't accept it. He believed something was about to happen, or had already happened. He quickly asked Li Suining, "Sister, can you see what happened before Uncle Emperor died?"
When Li Suining asked about the stars again, he could not see anything, just like before, everything was blurry.
She immediately thought of something, "Second brother, why did General Wei die today? I clearly didn't see him die last night."
Bai Yu'an frowned, subconsciously looked at Fuxing who was walking in front, and asked in a low voice, "You mean... what did Sister Fuxing do again?"
"I don't know." Little Dumpling shook his head and asked softly, "Should we ask Sister Fuxing?"
Bai Yu'an's first reaction was not to ask. If it was really Fuxing, it would be difficult for Fuxing to do it if they asked.
He could actually understand Fuxing's behavior. If the knife was in Fuxing's hands, she would not give the enemy a chance to counterattack, so Fuxing wanted Wei Changkong to die today.
But then he thought again, if he didn't ask, wouldn't that mean he didn't trust her again?
Bai Yu'an hesitated for a while, and finally said that he would ask and asked Li Suining not to take it too seriously.
"What Wei Changkong did is indeed a capital crime, and it is a capital crime that will execute all nine generations of his clan. So no matter what happens today or in the future, he will not be able to escape death."
"If he died today, he could save his family's lives. I believe the Emperor of Chu will not kill all nine of his clans. He can be considered to have sacrificed himself to save his family."
Li Suining nodded. She understood the reason, but she still found it hard to accept that someone suddenly died in front of her, and it was suicide.
After everyone returned to Yunzhao Pavilion, Yuan Xiaonian was obviously in a good mood.
"Bai Er, Wei Changkong's death is also good news for our Great Jin, especially for your Bai family." He didn't hide the joy on his face. "You did a really good job this time! When I return to the Great Jin, I will definitely ask for credit for you to the emperor if I have the chance."
"Thank you, Second Prince!" Bai Yu'an curled the corners of his mouth.
That day, Li Suining asked Xingxing and learned that Wei Changkong wanted to arrange a fake assassin from the Dajin Dynasty at the banquet, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill Yuan Xiaonian. Therefore, before the banquet today, he asked Yuan Xiaonian to meet Zi Yunlai and asked Zi Yunlai to arrange guards outside.
In this way, the so-called Dajin assassin must be fake once he appears.
Moreover, he also thought of one thing. On such an important occasion, according to Wei Changkong's personality, he would definitely wear the armor lining of the dragon robe to secretly satisfy his own selfish desires. He also asked Li Suining to confirm this point, and he was right.
So, at today's banquet, Wei Changkong thought he had arranged it perfectly, and that he would definitely take the opportunity to deal with Yuan Xiaonian and the others, and might even hurt Zi Yunlai. But what happened? He simply jumped into a trap he had set, and in the end, he lost his life.
Yuan Xiaonian's eyes swept over Bai Yu'an and the others, and he spoke slowly again, "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to set off back to Dajin soon. Since we helped him get rid of Wei Changkong, we must bring back a big gift. What do you think it would be?"
Bai Yu'an thought about it seriously, "This gift must be helpful to the future of Dajin, so that it will be worthy of the Second Prince's efforts."
"That makes sense." Yuan Xiaonian thought for a moment, "What do you think would happen if I asked them to sign a ceasefire? For example, within ten years, Dong Chu would not go to war with Da Jin."
"Letter of armistice?" Bai Yu'an couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked over. Dongchu is most afraid of war now. This letter of armistice... Dongchu will definitely not be able to get it. What does Yuan Xiaonian mean by this?
For some reason, for a moment, he felt a little scared.
