Since then, Bei Mingxuan and Gu Changan have become famous.
Prince Xuan is henpecked and has no status in the palace.
Princess Hyun is a fierce woman and a tigress.
I had a dreamless night in Chang'an and slept soundly until dawn. When I woke up, I felt full of energy.
Bei Mingxuan, on the other hand, was full of worries and stayed awake all night in his study room. "Fu Lin, go and ask the princess to come over."
Fu Lin invited Chang'an and went to the kitchen to serve breakfast.
"You didn't sleep all night?" Chang'an saw dark circles under Bei Ming's eyes.
Bei Mingxuan asked directly, "Do you know this person, King Yi?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know either, and I wasn't familiar with him, but he died before my eyes. Until now, only my father and I knew that King Yi was no longer alive."
Chang'an was stunned. Thinking about what her father and Concubine Tong had said yesterday, she thought, "But your mother and the Queen Mother are still thinking about him."
"Yes. Similarly, they don't know that I killed this person with my own hands. I was 10 years old that year."
Changan was surprised. She looked at Bei Mingxuan and asked, "Ten years old?"
She thought about it carefully, and suddenly, his heart was blown away, "It was your father, did he ask you to do it?"
"My father is always suspicious. He suspects that I am the son of King Yi."
"No, we've already done a blood test in front of the Queen Mother. Why..."
"Even so, I still have doubts." Bei Mingxuan raised a bitter smile, looking very helpless, "For so many years, the matter of King Yi always comes to my mind late at night.
These past few years have been much better than when I was little. However, when I heard my mother mention Prince Yi, I didn’t expect that she missed him so much.”
"It's not just your mother who's concerned about Prince Yi; there's also the Queen Mother." Chang'an glanced at Bei Mingxuan. "I have to say, the current Emperor is really calculating. He let you take action. Even if your mother and the Queen Mother find out, what can they do?"
"Don't you know you've always wanted to know why the emperor let your father leave the palace?"
Chang'an asked tentatively and cautiously, "Is it related to... King Yi?"
"Your father was a member of King Yi's army in his early years. I only learned this later. In fact, my father wanted to let Mr. Qingfeng go, but he was too loyal to King Yi. In the battle of Junhai that year, almost all of his troops were wiped out.
The emperor's original intention was to have your father implicate King Yi and convict King Yi of treason.
But your father refused to agree, and the emperor was troubled by your grandfather, so he had to detain Mr. Qingfeng, resulting in his legs being crippled.
Until one day, my father came to me and asked if I wanted to repay him."
"So, to repay my gratitude, is to kill King Yi and let my father go back?"
"Yes." Bei Mingxuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I agreed. That night, Prince Yi died in front of me. Before he died, I told him everything. He was very relieved. Finally, your father, Mr. Qingfeng, protected his reputation. The only regret was that it implicated my mother and me."
"The emperor today... is quite a piece of shit.
But how many clean souls can ascend to the throne? You and I are also bound to resort to unscrupulous means and have blood on our hands.
My father's current situation is not bad in my opinion. In this world, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. My uncle will inevitably fall in the future. I just think it's not easy for him to be caught between the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince.
Bei Mingxuan took a deep breath but remained silent. Sometimes he wondered if what he was fighting for was worth it. But when he thought of those innocent people and displaced children, he felt that his choice was right.
Chang An stood up, not intending to continue talking to Bei Mingxuan, "Yesterday, I didn't get to have a few personal words with my father.
Aunt Wanxin didn't come either. Chang'an plans to go back to the General's Mansion today, so she won't be able to talk to you."
"Okay, Fu Lin and Fu Cheng will take you there." Bei Mingxuan stood up. "I'm going to the Gambling Pavilion to take a look. I wonder what's going on with the gambling debt between Nangong Lekang and Gu Shirong. If there's a bloody crime under the emperor's feet, and it's committed by someone with royal power, I'm sure my father wouldn't want to see it happen."
Chang'an raised her red lips and left without saying a word. She knew what Bei Mingxuan meant, a fox!
This time the emperor went to Nanhua Mountain for a short stay, the crown prince was governing the country, and the fourth prince was assisting him. If something happened to Boyi Pavilion, it would have nothing to do with them. If they were to investigate further, the people behind Boyi Pavilion would naturally appear in front of everyone.
The most important thing is that before the incident at the Game Pavilion, Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan were going to leave for the Southern Kingdom, away from this place of trouble.
Changan returned to the General's Mansion, met with the elders, and then returned to his own courtyard. "Aunt, how are things arranged?"
"Everything is fine, don't worry, Miss." Wan Xin said, "Do you really want to meet them in person? This is not the rule of Fushengmen."
Changan smiled, "Aunt, please don't try to persuade me anymore. I don't mind."
"But you need to be prepared for both scenarios," Wan Xin said, "What if they question your identity or refuse to obey?
And then there's the matter of how many years have passed, and the amber ring has long since disappeared. In fact, the princess never considered letting the young lady take over as the leader of the Fusheng Sect. The princess didn't give the amber ring to me, nor did she leave any clues.
"It's okay, there will be a way when the time comes."
"That's fine, actually if Miss insists on doing so, it's not impossible.
In fact, the principle of a new emperor appointing new ministers is unchanging everywhere. The masters of each generation, upon taking charge of the Fusheng Sect, would re-select their own people to serve as the masters of the gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
And, remake your own amber ring.
However, your situation is special. If you really encounter difficulties, there is still your grandfather. After all, the entire Fusheng Sect works for the Southern Kingdom Royal Family."
Changan thought for a moment and looked at Wanxin, "I won't bother my grandfather with this matter unless it's absolutely necessary.
Aunt, ask Dongxue to check if Prince Nangong has finished talking with my father and invite him over. Then you can make the arrangements, and I'll be there shortly."
"yes."
After everyone left, Chang'an took out the purse he had taken from Concubine Tong.
She never imagined that there was a secret hidden in this purse, and the news about the amber ring was hidden in this purse.
Chang'an had to admire his mother. No matter how those who wanted to seize power in Fushengmen, they would never have thought that the amber ring was inside the main gate of Fushengmen.
All the clues came from this purse, which is why Princess Qiuya placed the clues on a person who had nothing to do with Fushengmen.
Nangong Rui walked into Chang'an's room. "It's really different now. Before, your place was deserted and the people who served you looked down on you and treated you coldly. Now you've finally made it through."
“If I could, I would rather live like before.
Everything we've achieved today has cost us our lives, but the price is too high." Chang'an smiled and poured Nangong Rui a cup of tea. "Did you find what I asked you to find?"
Hearing Chang'an's words, Nangong Rui's heart was shaken, and his eyes, which had been smiling at first, slowly became more and more sharp. "What is the price of death?"
