Chapter 127: Becoming King
At this time, the Emperor of Southern Yan had already issued an order.
"Bring her here, closer..."
The Third Princess of Northern Frontier looked a little pale. She slowly walked out of the crowd and moved closer to the Emperor of Southern Yan.
Her eyes trembled slightly, as if she was a little afraid, and she approached the Emperor of Southern Yan very slowly.
It seems that the distance of these few steps is very difficult.
The Emperor of Southern Yan looked at the woman in front of him with some disbelief in his eyes.
Looks like, very similar!
The third princess of the Northern Frontier looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a somewhat tender face. However, her features and eyebrows were already about sixty percent similar to the previous person.
Especially her look and expression, which seemed to overlap across time, evoking many memories for the Emperor of Southern Yan.
The third princess of Northern Frontier stopped ten steps away from the Emperor of Southern Yan.
For the emperor's safety, no one can get too close to him.
However, the Emperor of Southern Yan was indeed surprised this time, so he spoke again.
"Come closer..."
He wanted to take a closer look.
See if you are seeing things wrong.
Otherwise, how could there be two people in this world who look so similar.
Yan Fengxiao's expression was very calm. He was surprised for a moment at first, but it was only for a moment.
There are many strange things in the world. It is normal that your mother looks a little like others.
Perhaps there is someone somewhere in this world who looks somewhat like him.
It is said that most beauties look somewhat alike, perhaps this is just a coincidence.
"Look up." The Emperor of Southern Yan said.
The third princess Yuan Zhaoxia raised her head cautiously and looked at the emperor in front of her.
She suddenly opened her mouth.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
The moment Yuan Zhaoxia opened her mouth, it seemed as if a poisonous needle flew out from between her lips and teeth, heading straight for the emperor's brow.
Even the Emperor of Southern Yan did not anticipate this sudden change.
"emperor!"
The young eunuch standing by saw this scene, but it was too late for him to react and he screamed in fright!
However, the distance was so close that it was even difficult to dodge.
Yan Fengxiao suddenly raised his hand, tore off a piece of armor from his body, and it flew out, instantly hitting the woman's neck, causing her head to tilt slightly.
Just this slight deviation caused the poison needle that shot out of her mouth to lose its accuracy.
However, although the silver needle did not pierce the Emperor of Southern Yan's eyebrows, it scratched his face and left a bloody mark at the corner of his eye.
The silver needle pierced the dragon chair behind him with a ding sound, but failed to penetrate the chair inlaid with gold patterns and was bounced away.
"Come here, catch the assassin!"
The imperial guards rushed in from the door and all around in an instant, and a sword was placed on the neck of the Third Princess of Northern Frontier.
The third princess had a slightly pale smile on her face, with some dark blood flowing from the corners of her mouth, and she had already fallen to the ground.
"Father, how are you?"
Yan Xuanjing rushed over first at this time.
The Emperor of Southern Yan touched his cheek and saw that the blood oozing from his palm was a little black. He looked at the woman who had been poisoned, his eyes cold and gloomy.
"The needle is poisonous, doctor!"
From below, an imperial physician was summoned and quickly took the emperor's pulse and examined his wounds.
Yan Fengxiao and Qin Mingzhu have also stood up.
Neither of them moved. Now that the Imperial Guards were protecting the Emperor, no one could act rashly.
Yan Xuanjing's eyes turned red as he shouted, "Close the gates of the Golden Palace tightly! No one here is allowed to leave!"
The Emperor of Southern Yan had already noticed that he was feeling a little dizzy at this time.
He took an antidote pill brought by the imperial physician, but it had little effect.
Although it was just a scratch on his face, the silver needle was extremely poisonous, a mixed toxin made mainly from the venom of an almost extinct snake.
Even if she was slightly contaminated, she would die instantly. That would be the fate of the assassin woman.
Yan Fengxiao approached the woman's body, glanced at the Third Princess of Northern Frontier, and reached out to touch her face.
The next moment, the human skin mask on the face of the Third Princess of Northern Frontier fell off, revealing the unremarkable face underneath.
Fake……
She had a small, well-made hidden weapon in her mouth that could fire poison needles. She usually kept it in her throat, which was why she had been silent since she was escorted here.
There were no Three Princesses of Northern Frontier who came, but assassins carefully selected by the Northern Frontier Kingdom.
Everyone thought that the Northern Frontier Nation had surrendered and wouldn't dare do such a thing, but now it seems that something is not right...
Who gave Beijiang the courage to do this?
Yan Fengxiao's eyes were heavy as he glanced at the Northern Frontier envoys behind him, then at the worried Crown Prince Yan Xuanjing in front of him...
Now, the Great Prince of Northern Frontier and others had knives at their necks and were completely unable to resist.
But Yuan Zhaoxu had a smile on his face.
That was the smile of a successful plan.
"Once you're infected with that poison, even just a little bit, there's no hope for you. Hahahaha...hahahahahaha..."
At this moment, there was chaos in the Golden Palace.
Yuan Zhaoxu's laughter became louder and louder.
Yan Fengxiao narrowed his eyes, his voice slightly cold, he was very curious about something.
Who on earth leaked this secret, allowing the Northern Frontier to set up this trap to assassinate the Emperor of Southern Yan?
The Emperor of Southern Yan was usually calm and composed. If he hadn't encountered something extremely shocking today, he would never have lost his composure like this...
The Southern Yan Emperor's face gradually turned pale. He forced his eyes open and suddenly said, "Silence!"
The noisy Golden Palace suddenly became quiet.
Yan Xuanjing's eyes were red. "Father, your health is the most important thing. I will definitely catch the mastermind behind this!"
The Emperor of Southern Yan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the eldest prince beside him. Although his eyes were a little distracted due to the poison, they still made people feel cold.
"Come here, bring me the imperial edict that I have written in advance!"
"It's the Emperor!"
The little eunuch's voice was filled with a worried and crying tone.
But he did not dare to hesitate and took out the imperial edict with swift hands and feet.
This imperial edict had obviously been prepared for a long time, and the ink on it had long since dried up.
"read!"
The Emperor of Southern Yan struggled to support his weak body.
Fortunately, only a small skin breakage occurred on his cheek, and the poison needle did not enter his body, so he was able to hold on.
Even though the detoxification pill is not effective for this type of toxin, the imperial physician of Southern Yan Kingdom still has some skills. A few silver needles inserted into the acupoints on the top of the Southern Yan Emperor's head can inhibit the spread of the toxin.
The young eunuch held the imperial edict in his hand.
Then unfold it in public.
His voice returned to normal and he began to read aloud.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims:
Yan Fengxiao, the governor of Yanjing Prefecture, was a valiant warrior with commendable loyalty and bravery. He led the army to battle, commanded the troops wisely, charged fearlessly into battle, and defeated the invading enemy, expanding the territory and securing the borders, enhancing the prestige of Southern Yan. He was truly a pillar of state and a role model for the military and civilians.
To honor his illustrious military exploits and appease his loyalty to the emperor, I confer upon Yan Fengxiao the title of King of Dingbei! I bestow upon him a thousand taels of gold, a hundred pieces of brocade, and a fief of three thousand households... I hope that after receiving this title, he will remain steadfast in his loyalty, protect the country and its people, and live up to my trust and the expectations of the people. I decree this..."
The young eunuch's voice echoed in the hall.
Not only the civil and military officials, but also the ministers of Southern Yan State, even Yan Fengxiao showed astonishment on his face.
Yan Xuanjing widened his eyes and looked at his father in disbelief.
My father actually made Yan Fengxiao a king!
