Chapter 152: Peace talks concluded and he was crowned the crown prince

Mo Ci smiled gently, "This is my duty, young lady. I will take you to the backyard to rest first."

The shop of Zhenwan Pavilion is a piece of land that Mo Ci carefully selected. Not only is the location good, but the layout of the shop is also very grand.

The front three floors are paved, and the back is a small courtyard with two entrances. Even if the owner lives in the backyard, there is no need to worry about being disturbed by guests accidentally intruding.

Xu Nian has always been very convinced of Yu Moci's abilities. Even though she moved into the Treasure Pavilion, she never interfered in the management of the shop.

So the guys in the shop all knew that Shengdu would live in the backyard of the shop when the master came, but none of them had ever seen him.

Mo Ci got the batch of Jade Face Vine and began to deal with the dignitaries who came after hearing the news, thinking about how to maximize the benefits, while Xu Nian leisurely took Niu Niu out for a walk and eat.

Luo Jinan has been on edge ever since he learned that Xu Nian brought Nanmen Qing back to Shengdu. Even though he has many secret guards protecting him, he is still afraid of any accidents.

Mo Zhu gained several pounds in the past few days since returning to Baiyun City, but his face was full of worry. He now felt a little regretful. He should have let Mo Jian knock him out.

Now, as soon as His Highness saw him, he started shooting cold arrows at him. He felt like his heart was being pierced by holes.

Mo Bai looked at Mo Zhu, who once again came out of His Highness's tent with his head hung and looked dejected, and approached him in a mean manner.

"How is it? Your Highness is still angry?"

Mo Zhu had a cold face and didn't want to pay attention to this guy who was gloating over other people's misfortunes, but Mo Bai didn't care.

"Okay then. I'll go deliver An Yi's letter to His Highness."

As soon as Mo Bai finished speaking, his hands were empty, and Mo Zhu was seen holding the letter with sparkling eyes.

"I'll deliver it to His Highness," he said, striding towards the tent. Suddenly he remembered something, turned back and whispered in Mo Bai's ear, "Captain Qu sent a box of cakes to Mo Yu today."

Mo Bai's eyes were blazing with anger as he looked at the person who had quickly left. It seemed that without this letter, this piece of ice would have to keep this news in his heart, and he would never know.

Mo Bai turned around and ran to the training ground. It seemed that some people felt itchy all over if they didn't have a fight a day.

Mo Zhu entered the tent with the letter in his hand, excited, "Your Highness, this is a letter from An Yi."

Luo Jinan took the letter and quickly opened it. His eyes flashed when he saw the content. He couldn't help but recall all kinds of memories. He put the letter down and took out the health-preserving ointment that Xu Nian left for him from his sleeve.

Ever since he took the health-preserving ointment, the poison has not acted up for a long time. For some reason, he felt a little panicked. He bent down and saw the letter on the table. He took out a tinder and lit it.

The more Mo Zhu looked, the more confused he became. Why did His Highness's brows become even more furrowed?

After this day, the peace talks between the two countries began to move forward. Luo Jin'an was no longer satisfied with the previous tug-of-war, and the peace negotiators sent here did not dare to raise any objections.

After all, the blood of the Sixth Young Master of the Wen family had just been dried not long ago, and he was just a minor official who was promoted, so naturally he followed Luo Jinan's orders.

Soon, the result of the negotiation came out. Yanyang Kingdom returned the cities it had previously occupied and paid 5,000 war horses, 50,000 weapons, and a number of gold and jewelry. The condition was that the two countries stopped fighting and returned the second prince Nanmen Qing.

Luo Jinan agreed readily, but all gold and silver items had to be delivered to Shengdu before the Second Prince Yanyang would be returned.

The negotiator originally thought that the other party would not agree, after all, the conditions were not equal, but unexpectedly, the other party agreed readily.

Luo Jin'an looked at Nanmen Shuo, the fourth prince of Yanyang, who came to negotiate, and smiled meaningfully. From then on, Sheng Dynasty and Yanyang Kingdom stopped fighting.

After Luo Jinan deployed the border defense, he led 10,000 black-armored soldiers and rushed to Shengdu without stopping.

Along the way, Luo Jinan encountered countless ambush attempts, some of which were carried out by gangsters. Luo Jinan knew in his heart that the Wen family had become desperate and would do anything to achieve their goals.

April 10th, sunny sky

The streets of Shengdu were crowded with people, whether they were vendors or ordinary people, they were all looking forward to seeing the prince's face.

Half a month ago, good news came from the border that Prince Chang led the black-armored army left by the previous emperor to recapture three lost cities. That day, the soldier who delivered the military report circled the city three times and all the subjects learned the good news.

Next, the voices in the court advising the emperor to appoint a crown prince became louder and louder, but as everyone knew, the emperor had no son, so who to appoint as crown prince became a topic of discussion among the officials in the court.

The head of the Wen family's lineage, Zhang Li, the son of Princess Changle, Prince Sheng, was made the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, and the head of the second auxiliary lineage, Zhang Li, the Prince Chang, was made the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

One is a baby and a son of another family, and the other is a young man who has made military achievements and has the talent to govern the country. This was not a difficult decision, but now he has been hesitant and even got angry several times in the court.

It was not until three days ago when Lord Wang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, committed suicide by hitting his head against a pillar during a grand court meeting that the emperor finally issued an imperial decree to appoint Prince Chang Luo Jin'an as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

Xu Nian was stunned when she got the news. The closer she got to Quanli, the more she realized that the road was paved with blood.

Luo Jinan led the black-armored army along the way, and the people on both sides knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Luo Jinan's face was cold and his eyes searched the crowd on both sides calmly, but he did not find the figure he wanted to see.

He was also a little surprised when he received the imperial edict two days ago. After all, in his plan, he would proceed to this step only after returning to Shengdu. It was just that Lord Wang who died by hitting his head against the pillar became the variable in his plan.

Luo Jin'an held the reins and walked towards the majestic imperial city. At this time, many ministers were waiting at the main gate of the imperial city.

Duke Wei's eyes, as deep as an old well, stared at the young man riding his horse towards him. The man who was criticized as "the dynasty can prosper for a hundred years" has finally returned.

Well, Duke Wei curled his lips slightly. The previous emperor had the "Prince of Chang" and he had the "Prince of Sheng", so why not see who has the better move.

Duke Wei took two steps forward and bowed slightly, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and congratulate him on his triumphant return."

Luo Jinan dismounted, ignored Duke Wei, raised his hand and walked towards the side door with his personal guards.

Duke Wei stood up and looked at the arrogant young man's back with a mocking smile.

He originally thought that the Crown Prince was secretly cultivating power in the court, but he didn't expect that after meeting him today, he might have a high opinion of the Crown Prince.

He turned around and smiled at the deputy assistant Shen Qingsong: "It seems that the prince does not appreciate the deputy assistant's sincerity, haha..."

Shen Qingsong, however, remained motionless, and said slowly and coldly, "I am happy to make Duke Wei upset for a moment."

Duke Wei put away his smile and looked at Shen Qingsong coldly.

"I think Lord Shen will understand the principle that a wise bird chooses the right tree to inhabit. I would like to kindly advise Lord Shen not to choose the wrong path for himself."

Shen Qingsong leisurely folded his hands into his sleeves, looked at the back of Duke Wei and smiled meaningfully, silently saying in his heart: "So a gentleman should be cautious when he is at home and be careful when he is on the move. Duke Wei, you have already lost the first game."
