Chapter 146 The Game Begins 1
Along with this news, a letter arrived at the Panlong Kingdom's palace. The wording in the letter was harsh and sharp. It not only tore off the Panlong Kingdom's fig leaf, but also directly scolded them for being shameless and irresponsible. They actually sent secret guards to assassinate their own brother. They were simply worse than beasts. The new emperor of Panlong Kingdom was so angry that he tore up the letter.
The spies from Xuanwu and Baihu countries also received the news that Panlong country had sent people to Fengqi country to kill their fifth brother. They also received the detailed causes and consequences, and even knew that the fifth prince was willing to lose face and enter the backyard of the princess of Fengqi country.
At the same time, a rumor was also passed back, saying that the fifth prince was controlled by the new emperor of Panlong Kingdom with drugs, and then forced to assassinate the queen. Only in this way could he save his life, otherwise he would have died after the failure of the fight.
There is more than one prince who failed in the fight for the throne. The new emperor is the third oldest. Except for the eldest prince and the second prince who have apparently died suddenly, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince have disappeared. Now the fifth prince appears in Fengqi Kingdom, what about the fourth prince and the sixth prince?
This immediately made Xuanwu and Baihu countries alert. If they could use a few useless pawns to achieve the goal of winning big with a small one, they would be willing to give it a try.
So this time they chose to wait and see. It would be better if Panlong Kingdom and Fengqi Kingdom could both suffer losses.
After General Fengming led his men to capture three cities, he stopped his troops and rested.
When the eldest princess received the good news from the front, a smile appeared on her face, and she immediately passed the good news to Lianyi.
After Lian Yi read the good news, he said to the messenger beside him:
"Let the eldest princess do it and remind her to beware of the other two countries."
"yes!"
The eldest princess was now walking with the wind, and immediately ordered someone to send another letter to the Panlong Kingdom.
The Panlong Kingdom was extremely annoyed about the loss of three cities and was mobilizing troops to prepare to retake the cities. At this time, the spies lurking in the Fengqi Kingdom sent back the news.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess has arrested all the people we sent to negotiate, and has also reported the matter to the Queen."
"A bunch of rubbish!"
"However, the person who had contact with the Second Princess sent back good news. However, the Second Princess is very cunning and will not take action unless she sees benefits."
The messenger handed over a piece of paper and then stood aside quietly without saying a word.
After reading it, the new Panlong Emperor frowned tightly and said to the guards around him:
"Summon Zhang Zhang to the palace to discuss matters."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Fengqi Kingdom Zhuoxiu Garden
Lianyi was taking a medicinal bath when Fengshou appeared silently beside the tub and whispered:
"Empress, the Second Princess's confidant has made contact with the spies of Panlong Nation, but there has been no specific action so far."
"Humph! They were just negotiating terms, but they just didn't reach an agreement."
Lian Yi said calmly.
"Do you want to capture him?"
"See what Panlong Country can offer. See what the Second Princess can do for power."
Lian Yi said with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, I will keep a close eye on them."
"Take this opportunity to follow the clues and sort out all the spies of Panlong Kingdom."
"yes!"
The Phoenix Head came quietly and left without disturbing anyone.
After Lianyi finished her medicinal bath, she said directly to Lanxin:
"Go to Xuan Huangfu and tell him that I want to play chess with him."
"yes."
After Lan Xin responded, she went to announce her husband Zhao.
Lianyi ostensibly brought all his favorite servants to Zhuo Xiuyuan, but in fact he was controlling these people in disguise, making it impossible for them to pass on information to the outside world. Once there was any sign of trouble, he would be able to detect it at the first time.
Men who can become royal servants are not stupid. They are all well-behaved. Unless summoned by the empress or paid regular visits, they usually stay in their own courtyards. The emperor's husband is no exception, especially now that the eldest princess is regent, he dares not act rashly.
That is to say, in the first ten days, because of the upbringing issues of his three granddaughters, he helped the Second Princess deal with some matters in the inner house with the approval of the Empress, and reminded the Second Princess by the way. After that, he accompanied the Empress to recuperate and stayed away from other things.
He was naturally happy that the Queen asked him to play chess with her, and after getting himself ready, he went to the pavilion where the Queen was.
When the emperor's husband saw the empress with a ruddy complexion and a rejuvenated look, he was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that after only a few days of not seeing her, the empress looked even better. He concealed his uneasiness, put on a happy smile, stepped forward to salute, and said:
"Hail, Queen! You look very healthy! I am relieved."
"Without the distractions of tedious political affairs, this emperor eats well, sleeps well, and naturally looks better."
Lianyi waved her hand to let the other party sit down in front of the chessboard, and replied with a smile.
Zhao lifted up her purple and gold-patterned robe and sat down. She took a close look at the empress's appearance and then spoke:
"The Queen fainted during the court last time, and we were all scared. We have long wanted to ask you to stop working so hard. The children are grown up now, and we can let them share the burden, but you wanted them to relax for a few more years.
We were afraid that we would upset you if we said too much, so we didn't dare to mention it. This time I saw that the eldest princess did a good job, and your health has also improved. Isn't this a happy occasion for everyone? "
"Haha, only you dare to say that, but you are right, power is a good thing, but it is not as important as life. When a person dies, everything is gone."
Lianyi said this casually, and then dropped a white jade chess piece.
Zhao's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and even said with some displeasure:
"Queen, please don't say such things anymore. You have to stay with me for a long time, so you can't say such unlucky words. You look better now, and you will only get better in the future."
"I understand. I'm just complaining to you. Now it's your turn to make a move!"
Zhao then placed a black piece, and the two began to play chess back and forth.
"I smell that the scent of your incense has changed, but did you change to a new one?"
Ripple asked casually.
"Your Majesty, I did not change the incense. I stopped burning it when I entered the garden. The fragrance of the various flowers in Zhuo Xiu Garden is refreshing and natural, even better than incense. It is also natural. I now use elegant floral scents to fumigate my clothes."
Zhao said with a smile.
"The spices your family gave me are great. I didn't prepare any of these spices this time, so I wanted to ask the Emperor for two pieces!"
"It was my negligence. I came here to accompany you to recover from your illness, so I didn't bring any spices."
The emperor said with a look of self-blame on his face.
"It's okay. I just asked casually. I'm taking a medicinal bath recently to treat my internal illness. All I can smell is the smell of medicine. I want to try something different."
".Then I'll ask the waiter to bring some freshly picked flowers?"
"Okay!"
