Chapter 194: The Rebel Ling Fengxun
Eunuch Wu lowered his head, his teeth trembling, but he looked aggrieved.
"I don't know how to read."
An Yunxi: ""
Ling Fengxun: ""
The two were stunned at the same time. They had never expected this answer.
Eunuch Wu kept kowtowed, "Although I have served the emperor for many years, I really can't read a single word. This is also the emperor's special selection."
After the other party explained this, An Yunxi understood a little.
The personal eunuchs serving by his side only need to be smart and capable. When the emperor often reads the memorials of the officials, he will let these people pinch his shoulders. If they accidentally see something, it will not be good.
Those palace servants would also say that Eunuch Wu was illiterate, but whether he could read or not was only known to him.
Of course, it didn’t matter whether he was really illiterate or not, because no matter how they interrogated, this old eunuch who had been with the emperor for many years would not tell the truth.
“My Lord, it seems that the imperial edict has been in the hands of the prince. He will definitely destroy the imperial edict that is not in his favor and take out another imperial edict to deal with you.”
In fact, even if they didn’t know the content of the imperial edict, the two of them could guess roughly.
Before the emperor died, he was most worried that one of the two would usurp the throne. If he died, it would definitely make things difficult for the two of them.
The Emperor of Beiling didn’t trust anyone but himself. He was selfish and suspicious. He didn’t care whether the whole Beiling would be disturbed by his decision after his death.
He only wants to make himself happy.
Ling Fengxun's eyes were quite calm, and he did not show any panic because of this sudden accident.
He slightly curled his lips towards An Yunxi, his eyes as deep as the sea.
"Don't worry, I have my own countermeasures."
An Yunxi's eyes flashed.
Although she believed in Ling Fengxun, she was still a little curious.
"What countermeasures does the prince have?"
Ling Fengxun raised his hand, tapped An Yunxi's forehead, and then raised his thin lips slightly.
It was as if the sky was falling, and he would hold it up. He
was so calm in the face of danger, which was convincing.
"Guess, if you guess right, I will tell you again."
An Yunxi widened her eyes and looked at the faint smile at the corner of Ling Fengxun's lips, "The prince did it on purpose"
to let her guess?
It was really torturing her mind.
It was absolutely reasonable that a woman who was pregnant would become stupid for three years.
An Yunxi felt unhappy when she thought that the prince was in control of the imperial edict.
"Then there is nothing else here?"
The emperor's secret room, there really is only this little stuff, right?
An Yunxi secretly complained in her heart, but she saw Ling Fengxun pick up a box from the cabinet next to her and hand it to her.
"These are more valuable."
An Yunxi took it subconsciously, and then opened it, her eyes lit up instantly.
It contained a whole box of South China Sea pearls, each of which was invaluable, some were even the size of pigeon eggs, absolutely treasures.
Ling Fengxun said, "If you like it, I'll have someone make it into a bracelet for you when you get back."
An Yunxi immediately held the box in her arms.
"No, such perfect beads won't look good if they are pierced."
Each of these pearls has to be displayed as a family heirloom. If they are strung together like this, it would be a bit of a waste of natural resources!
An Yunxi is a girl after all, and girls just like this kind of round and moist beautiful beads.
Seeing that she likes it, Ling Fengxun can't help but smile, then walked to a secret compartment next to him and took out all the boxes inside.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Wu Gonggong's mouth trembled slightly.
He remembered that all the treasures in here were the collections of the previous emperor, and each one was a rare treasure in the world
. The best tributes from other countries over the years were all here, hidden in the secret compartment of the secret room. Now, all of them were found by Ling Fengxun and given to his own princess as playthings.
All kinds of extremely rare and precious gems and jades, and masterpieces of famous artists were hidden in the secret compartment. Ling Fengxun placed them on the table one by one and let An Yunxi pick all the ones she liked and take them away.
An Yunxi was dazzled by the sight.
"Each of these things is worth a fortune if you take them out."
Ling Fengxun smiled, "Then take them all away. If you can't carry them, I will move them up and let my subordinates come to collect them."
An Yunxi blinked, "Prince, is this okay?"
Ling Fengxun said, "Why not? My brother is gone, so he naturally can't use these things."
He seemed to remember something, and his eyes were a little solemn: "If Xiao Xier thinks these are things of the dead and unlucky, I will have people exchange these items for silver for you."
An Yunxi shook her head quickly.
"No, I don't mind!"
Moreover, these treasures are unique. If they are exchanged for silver, they can never be found again. It's a pity.
Some of these antiques, which one is not the things of the dead?
Ling Fengxun smiled and said, "Well, I'll have someone put it away for you."
The two of them arranged the whereabouts of all the items in the treasury one by one.
They all ran into An Yunxi's private vault.
Eunuch Wu had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead and said respectfully, "I don't know if you have any other instructions, my lord and princess."
An Yunxi frowned and lifted Eunuch Wu up from the ground.
"I haven't had time to settle accounts with you for handing the imperial edict to the prince."
Eunuch Wu begged for mercy in fear, "The prince's people forced me to do this, and I had no choice. Please spare my life, princess!"
An Yunxi sneered, "Spare my life? The prince doesn't know that the imperial edicts are in your hands. You must have surrendered on your own initiative. The previous emperor just passed away, and he is eager to find another master for himself. Eunuch Wu is really kind-hearted."
Eunuch Wu was silent.
Ling Fengxun looked at him coldly, "You decide whether to commit suicide or I will send someone to help you."
When Eunuch Wu heard this, his face turned pale.
He didn't expect that he would be killed if he stood up and surrendered to the prince so early.
He saw the two people running into this secret room with his own eyes today. Ling Fengxun would definitely not allow him to leak this matter.
Eunuch Wu was trembling like a sieve. He didn't have the courage to commit suicide. He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Please spare my life, my slave has been bewitched by a ghost. Please spare me."
An Yunxi's eyes were cold. If he hadn't discovered that the other party was hiding in the dark and peeking, the other party would have gone to inform the prince by now.
Ling Fengxun frowned, ignored him, and took An Yunxi out of the dark room.
"In that case, you stay here."
All the things inside were moved away by Yingfeng and others called by Ling Fengxun.
The whole secret room was looted as if it had been robbed.
After all the things were taken out, Ling Fengxun ordered again to burn the entire bedroom with a big fire.
The next morning.
All officials gathered in the Golden Palace.
The civil and military officials who came today were very neat and tidy, and all wore mourning clothes. Ling Fengxun
stood at the front, waiting for the officials to salute him naturally. Just as he was about to sit on the dragon throne, he suddenly heard the voice of the prince coming from the gate of the Golden Throne Hall .
