A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1581 The Emperor's Order, the Ninth Emperor's Uncle's Plan...
The Ninth Prince's concerns are not unreasonable. Given the Emperor's personality, he would never risk his own life.
The fact that the emperor listened to the Xie family, issued an order to execute the former crown prince, King of Jiangnan, and appointed the eighth prince as the crown prince shows how selfish the emperor is. If he had a little bit of fatherly love and a little bit of consideration for the country, he would not have been manipulated by the Xie family and repeatedly issued orders that harmed the country.
The higher the position, the more afraid they are of death. They have too much and are reluctant to give up the wealth of the world. In the emperor's heart, Dongling Jiangshan is important, but his life is more important.
When the Ninth Prince asked the Emperor what he wanted to do, the Emperor did not hesitate and said that he was willing to give up half of his kingdom as long as the Ninth Prince could eliminate the Xie family and allow him to survive.
The Ninth Prince wanted to laugh...
At this time, his royal brother has not forgotten his kingdom. This man is really greedy.
Sensing the dissatisfaction of the Ninth Uncle, the Emperor knew that the Ninth Uncle would not agree to his request, so he asked back: "Ninth brother, do you want the entire Dongling?"
"Brother... you seem to have forgotten how you got the throne?" The Ninth Uncle said coldly, looking at the time that was almost up, "Your Majesty, this kingdom of Dongling originally belonged to me. Just because I don't want to take it doesn't mean I don't know."
"Ninth brother, I don't understand what you are saying." The emperor's face changed drastically, but he forced himself to remain calm.
We can't mess around at this time.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as the emperor understands it. I'm afraid we can't reach an agreement today. I have something important to do, so I'll go first." Without giving the emperor a chance to speak, the Ninth Prince turned around and walked back to the secret passage.
The emperor wanted to stop them, but when he thought of the head of the Xie family who was waiting for him outside, he had to grit his teeth and retreat, pounding the table angrily.
A dragon was trapped in a shallow pool and was played with by fish.
He is the emperor of Dongling, he will not always be in a weak position.
The emperor's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness. He took out the jade seal hidden underground and stamped it heavily on the imperial edict: "Ninth brother, since you are unwilling to give in, then go and fight the Xie family. I am waiting to reap the benefits."
After returning from the secret passage, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingyi did not linger in the palace, but went straight out of the palace. They were worried that something might have happened to Wang Jinling.
"What do you think of the emperor's illness?" The Ninth Prince asked after they were out of danger.
Feng Qingchen hadn't spoken since she entered, but she had been observing the emperor's symptoms. Thinking of what she had seen, Feng Qingchen frowned slightly: "On the surface, there is no sign of illness. I suspect the emperor has been poisoned."
"I think so too. Apart from this, the Xie family should not have a chance to control the emperor." Knowing that the Xie family was using the emperor as a shield, many things had to be replanned.
You know, the Xie family is now standing on the side of justice, and everything they do is backed by imperial power.
"I'm very curious about how the emperor got poisoned. The people around him must be his confidants." It is not easy to poison the emperor. If it were easy, the emperor would have died hundreds of times already.
"Imperial Concubine Xie." The Ninth Uncle mentioned a key figure: "The Queen fell, and Imperial Concubine Xie became the only one in the harem."
"She doesn't seem like a fool. How could she do such a thing?" When the Eighth Prince ascended to the throne, Imperial Noble Consort Xie became the Empress Dowager. Although she was noble, she had no real power.
Women are not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and the Eighth Prince is still young and cannot rule the country himself. For more than ten years, the government has been controlled by others. When the Eighth Prince grows up, will those who control the government return the power?
It is very rare for a young ruler to survive and rule the country. Imperial Noble Consort Xie is not a fool and would not gamble on such a possibility.
"Maybe he is the same as the emperor. Let's go to Zhaoyan Palace and have a look next time." Obviously, the Ninth Prince did not believe that Royal Noble Consort Xie would be foolish enough to gamble with the Eighth Prince's life on such an illusory future.
"Okay." Feng Qingchen nodded.
As soon as the two of them left the palace, they immediately sped up. Outside the palace, Fu Lin had already been waiting, and at the same time, he prepared two horses for the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen: "Everyone is ready, and we can start at any time."
"The plan has changed. Let's leave the city." The Ninth Prince jumped on his horse and said in a cold voice.
"Huh?" Fu Lin was puzzled, Feng Qingchen kindly explained: "Wang Jinling is in trouble, we have to go save him."
"What? How dare you attack the head of the Wang family? Who is tired of living?" Isn't he afraid of revenge from the Wang family? Isn't he afraid of revenge from Yucheng Qingcheng? Isn't he afraid of being scolded to death by the students of the Jixia Academy?
"Xie family." Feng Qingchen did not hide it from Fu Lin. Anyway, Fu Lin and the others were going with them, so they would naturally know.
"The Xie family is looking for death. They are not afraid of angering the Wang family." Fu Lin sneered, expressing disdain for the Xie family's bold behavior.
The Xie family has been too high-profile recently, so high-profile that it is impossible not to beat them up.
The emperor did not dare to touch Wang Jinling easily when he was not sure, but the Xie family actually did it...
"Don't be afraid, because all the evidence points to the emperor." Feng Qingchen explained in a good mood, and Fu Lin's face immediately turned dark.
The Xie family is killing someone with a borrowed knife!
Good calculation.
Unfortunately, they met the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen. The Xie family's plan would definitely fail, and they might even get into trouble...
If the Xie family wanted to take action against Wang Jinling today, they would definitely inform the city gate early and not let anyone go out. Feng Qingchen and the other two had not yet approached the city gate when they noticed that the atmosphere at the city gate was not right.
It was already late at night, but the city gate was full of soldiers, and the archers had already nocked their arrows and aimed them inside the gate.
As the three approached, they heard the general shout, "The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to approach within ten miles of the city gate tonight. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"The fox is taking advantage of the tiger's might." Fu Lin snorted disdainfully.
Whatever the Xie family does, they always claim it is the emperor's order, which really allows them to move freely in Dongling. Even if someone is dissatisfied, they dare not speak out openly because it is the emperor's order.
"Open the city gate. I am leaving the palace immediately on the emperor's order." He would also follow the emperor's orders.
"Nine? Ninth Uncle?" The generals on the city gate were a little uncertain when they heard the voice.
"You know it's me, the king, why don't you open the door quickly?"
"Ninth Uncle, I, your humble general, am following the emperor's orders..." The general guarding the city looked embarrassed. He did not dare to go against the emperor's orders, nor did he dare to disobey the orders of Ninth Uncle.
“I just came out of the palace. If you don’t open the city gate quickly and delay my business, I will exterminate all your nine clans.” The Ninth Prince does not need to raise a big banner; he himself is a big banner.
The general at the city gate was extremely hesitant. The message he received was to prevent the Wang family from going out, and to not allow a large number of people to go out. The Ninth Prince only had three people, so should he just open the city gate to avoid offending this evil star?
After hesitating for a long time, the general finally made a decision and shouted loudly: "Open..."
But before he could say a word, he heard the sound of horse hooves. As the man approached, he heard him shout loudly: "The emperor has ordered, the ninth uncle is planning..."
"Bang..." A gunshot rang out, and the man fell off his horse without finishing his words.
It was too dark, Feng Qingchen couldn't see clearly which corner he rolled to...
The horse continued to charge forward, and just as it was about to charge at the Ninth Prince and his three companions, Feng Qingchen fired another shot...
Tonight, even if the emperor and the head of the Xie family were present in person, they would not be able to stop her from leaving the city!
