Shen Jiaojiao nodded and told the truth, "I followed him all the way back from Yangcheng, Northern Qi."
“…”
The emperor was shaking with anger.
Yangcheng is on the edge of the capital of Northern Qi. Without his order, the Fourth Prince actually ran to Yangcheng. What did he want to do?
Moreover, the relationship between Northern Qi and Southern Chu has been bad in recent years. If the Fourth Prince did not have an insider in Northern Qi, it would be impossible for him to go there safely and come back safely.
Chen Jiaojiao said, "The Fourth Prince and the Third Prince of Northern Qi have agreed that once the war begins, the Third Prince of Northern Qi will provide the Fourth Prince with information about the Ninth Prince of Northern Qi and ask him to assassinate the Ninth Prince of Northern Qi."
"Afterwards, the Third Prince will bribe the generals in the southern part of Northern Qi and ask them to withdraw from the southern plains, so that the Fourth Prince can accumulate military merits. After the Fourth Prince ascends the throne, the south will be returned to the Third Prince."
"By then, the emperor of Northern Qi will be the Third Prince, and the emperor of Southern Chu will be the Fourth Prince..."
“…”
The Emperor of Nanchu's eyelids trembled as he heard these words.
"I never thought that his ambitions were so great. He used fake military achievements to gain the support of the army and the people. Is he trying to force me to abdicate and let others take over?"
Shen Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and said nothing.
He just laughed coldly in his heart.
The emperor took a while to come back to his senses, looked at Shen Jiaojiao and said: "After this matter is investigated, I will officially recognize you. From now on, you are the princess of Nanchu."
…
On the other hand, in Northern Qi, the third prince was about to be killed for treason.
Ruyi and Dali Temple Minister Fang Yizhuo went to the execution ground.
She had no preference for such bloody scenes, and did not watch the execution, but just talked to Jing San in a low voice.
"The Lantern Festival is coming soon. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be some movement in Nanchu."
She glanced into the distance.
Jing San nodded, "We received news last night. I estimate that we will receive good news after the Lantern Festival."
He looked at Ruyi, awe and gratitude rising in his eyes, "If this is accomplished, the people in the south will be spared the suffering of war, this is a great achievement for generations to come."
Two months passed by, and the girl in front of him actually became a lucky star in the true sense of the word.
And she is only sixteen years old this year.
I don’t know how wonderful my future life will be.
Ruyi asked, "Is there any news about my master?"
"He went to the east to tell you not to worry. He went to find Taoist Yu, but it will probably take a long time for him to come back, after all, the journey is long." Jing San looked at her and felt that she had grown up too fast. "With Nan Huang's skills and medical skills, he will be fine there."
Ruyi nodded and glanced at Jingsan, "Your Highness is actually the famous Northern Emperor, right?"
Jing San smiled, "I can't hide it from the girl."
He added: "I'm afraid that soon, I won't be able to hide it from everyone."
Ruyi was stunned. "What do you mean? If the war in the south stops, Fengyu Pavilion will be even more difficult to expose."
To Ruyi's surprise, Jing San sighed and said, "It was the Emperor who changed his mind. He originally wanted to stay on the throne for a few more years, but seeing that you and Your Highness are able to handle things on your own, he wants to take a break."
Ruyi was a little shocked, but she understood after thinking about it.
The emperor ascended the throne at the age of nineteen, and more than twenty years have passed since then. He is not a foolish ruler. He governs the country well and lives like a puppet all day long, suppressing all his emotions.
Who can endure such days?
"That's right, there is more to this world than just rights."
Ruyi looked up into the distance and said, "I also hope that one day I can travel all over the world and see all the prosperity in the world."
"Yes."
Jing San smiled, "With your highness's character, even if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor and the young lady becomes the empress, he will never restrict you in the harem. You can go to the court or go to the rivers and lakes."
"Just go early and come back early."
"Otherwise, Your Highness would not know how to chant."
Ruyi blushed when he teased her.
After the execution, Ruyi returned to the palace to report and met the eunuch guards who also came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince is dead!"
This sentence was like thunder, silencing the imperial study room!
The emperor clenched his fists and asked for a long time: "How did he die?"
"It's said to be an accident, but..." The imperial guard stepped forward and handed him a stack of papers, "This is the news sent by Fengyu Pavilion."
Ruyi looked at the palace guard and wondered if he was the third in command of Fengyu Pavilion?
It was only recently that she found out that Rong Yan actually left someone by the emperor's side, who had been helping the emperor and occasionally passing on some news from Fengyu Pavilion.
The death of the fifth prince was beyond her expectations.
Originally, he thought that the Fifth Prince had joined the Fourth Prince, but he did not expect...
According to the current situation, it was most likely that General Nian's men killed the Fifth Prince and occupied the horse farm and other things that the Fifth Prince had found. He came back to help win the throne after hearing that there was turmoil in the court!
The Fourth Prince has quite a big appetite.
Ruyi has come a long way to where she is today, having witnessed the bloody fight for the throne in the royal family.
The emperor had nine sons in total, and in just two months, four of them were deposed.
Soon, the fifth one will be gone too.
When the Fourth Prince had come to this point, General Nian came back in a hurry. Everything seemed too hasty, as if everyone knew what Sima Zhao was thinking.
If you stick your head out, you will die.
Sure enough, the emperor's next words were, "Come here, General Nian returned to the capital without my order. As a general guarding the border, he ignored the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border... Arrest him!"
The imperial guards left.
General Nian was arrested just as he came out of the Fourth Prince's residence.
He stared with eyes wide open, unconvinced, "Why are you arresting me? When I was in the audience with the Emperor, he didn't seem angry!"
"Will the Emperor tell you if he is angry or not?"
Mu Rushuang sneered, "As a general in the northwest, you ran back to the capital without caring about anything. Do you know that it was because of your departure that the northwest was in chaos and the fifth prince died in the northwest?"
"!"
General Nian widened his eyes in shock.
Too fast!
How could the news come so fast?
He was the one who killed the fifth prince. I thought it would take more than a month for the news to reach the capital.
By that time, the dust had settled and the Fourth Prince had ascended the throne.
But I didn’t expect…
"Someone, take him away!"
At Mu Rushuang's order, General Nian was thrown into jail.
The Fourth Prince was horrified and hurried into the palace to find Concubine Nian, "Mother, my uncle has been arrested and thrown into prison! What should we do now? I am scared!"
The Fourth Prince's personality is not suitable for power struggles.
When General Nian was captured, he immediately lost his mind.
Before Concubine Nian could say anything, the emperor walked in and threw the paper in his hand in the faces of the mother and son, "What a good thing you have done!"
It was a handwritten letter from Concubine Nian and the Fourth Prince to General Nian.
Concubine Nian planned to find an opportunity to give the emperor medicine on the Lantern Festival so that he would "die of illness."
Then, with the support of General Nian, he won over the court officials to support the fourth prince to ascend the throne.
But now, all these things have been exposed!
Concubine Nian still wanted to argue, but the evidence was right in front of her. She was disheartened for a moment and the Fourth Prince was so scared that he peed his pants.
The emperor closed his eyes and looked at the wet hem of the fourth prince with mixed feelings.
Not everyone can withstand high pressure and sit on the throne.
What are you grabbing?
