Chapter 625 Routine
Inside the Weiyang Palace.
Gan Fu held the military token in both hands and handed it to the emperor respectfully.
But the emperor did not reach out to take it.
He looked at the military token quietly for a long time before speaking.
"Throw it away."
Gan Fu was shocked: "Throw it away?"
Did he hear it right?
This is a military talisman!
Only half of the troops of the Dasheng Dynasty can be mobilized!
How could you throw it away?!
The emperor's voice sounded a little tired.
"It's a fake military token. There's no point in keeping it. Throw it away."
Gan Fu couldn't believe it.
The military token was handed to him personally by the emperor, and then passed to the King of England through his hands.
Although the King of England later handed the military token over to the Crown Prince, Gan Fu was involved in the entire process and he could guarantee that there was absolutely no chance that the King of England would switch it midway.
Gan Fu murmured, "Could it be that the prince secretly replaced the military token? He deliberately made a fake one to fool Your Majesty, so he could return the military token so readily."
The emperor said, "This military token is fake. The real one has always been with me."
…
Inside Qingge Palace.
Luo Qinghan said slowly.
"Father has always been suspicious. He would never hand over something as important as the military token to someone else. The military token he asked Gan Fu to take away was actually a fake. The real military token has always been in his hands."
Xiao Xixi asked blankly: "How do you know the military token is fake?"
Luo Qinghan raised his hand.
Eunuch Chang understood and led everyone else to retreat.
Only the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao were left in the room.
Luo Qinghan took out a military token from his arms and gently placed it on the table.
"This is the military token I found on Qin Zhong."
There were two military tokens in the Dasheng Dynasty, one in the hands of the emperor and the other in the hands of Qin Zhong.
These two military tokens look exactly the same in appearance.
If you merge them together, they can be perfectly combined into a rectangular token.
"After I got this military token, I compared it with the one my father gave me. My father's military token was well-made and there was almost no sign of forgery. However, if the two military tokens were put together, there would be a small gap in the middle."
Xiao Xixi picked up the military token on the table, looked at it carefully, didn't see anything special, so she put it back.
"What do you plan to do with Qin Zhong's military token?"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Qin Zhong died in prison last night. No one knew that the military token was with me. Everyone thought that the military token was taken away by King Xiling."
Xiao Xixi immediately reacted: "Do you want to keep this military token?"
"Um."
Luo Qinghan picked up the military token and gently stroked the pattern on the surface with his fingertips.
The military token means military power.
Now that it's in Luo Qinghan's hands, how could he give it away easily?
The emperor was very suspicious and wary of him, so he had to keep a trump card for himself.
For him, this military token is a trump card that can reverse the situation at a critical moment.
Xiao Xixi picked up a duck leg and said while eating.
"I still can't understand why the emperor would make a fake military token. What if the token is recognized as a fake and the rescue is delayed? In the end, he will be the one who suffers!"
Luo Qinghan said thoughtfully.
“This is something I cannot understand.
According to my father's character, even if he is suspicious, he would not do such a thing when his own life is at stake.
I suspect that my father may have already noticed something strange between Prince Xiling and Qin Zhong.
So my father prepared a fake military token in advance.
When he took out the fake military token, he should have left himself a way out.
Even if something unexpected happened to the fake military token, or even if I failed to reach the palace in time to rescue you, Father would still be able to escape from the rebels."
Xiao Xixi swallowed the duck meat in her mouth: "Why do I find it more and more mysterious the more I listen? If the emperor is really so powerful, he should have counterattacked immediately when the rebels took action. If he had counterattacked earlier, so many people would not have died in the palace."
Luo Qinghan's tone was cold.
“It’s true that many people died, but Father also eliminated the entire Qin family in one fell swoop.
This is a serious worry that has been weighing on my father's mind for many years.
And there is King Xiling.
Although he escaped, he couldn't live for long.
In the end, my father was the winner of this rebellion."
For an emperor who is the ruler of a country, what would it matter if he could get rid of the Qin family and King Xiling and sacrifice a few concubines and princes?
This is what is called the imperial mentality.
Xiao Xixi felt a chill down her spine: "Hearing what you said, I always feel that the emperor is the biggest boss."
Luo Qinghan: "What silk?"
Xiao Xixi: "It means the villain behind the scenes."
Luo Qinghan: "Are you scared?"
Xiao Xixi swore, "Of course I'm not afraid! Even if he is a villain, Your Highness can beat him down! Your Highness will always be the most powerful!"
Luo Qinghan looked into her bright and clear eyes and asked, "Where do you get your confidence from?"
Xiao Xixi shook the duck leg in her hand.
"You are this big, shiny duck leg."
Then she ate up all the duck meat in a few bites, leaving only a bare duck bone.
"And the emperor is just like this duck bone. He is already at the end of his strength and is definitely no match for you!"
After saying that, she broke the duck bone into two pieces.
Although her action was a bit silly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a two-meter-thick filter. He didn't think she was silly at all. Instead, he found her inexplicably cute.
Luo Qinghan suddenly asked.
“Is duck meat delicious?”
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "It's delicious!"
Luo Qinghan looked at her meaningfully: "But you just said that this duck leg was a mere morsel, but you ate it right away and said it was delicious. What are you hinting at?"
Xiao Xixi: “…”
Oops, it seems she has been tricked.
Luo Qinghan stroked her hair and pressed his hand against the back of her neck.
He leaned over and whispered, "You've already eaten me, shouldn't I eat a bite of you too?"
Xiao Xixi blushed and her heart beat fast: "I, I don't like food."
Luo Qinghan: "I'll know if it tastes good after I try it."
The prince tasted her carefully and gave a sincere evaluation.
"It tastes good, but a little salty."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
I suspect you are implying something about me.
…
Concubine Hui's head was later found.
Her body was placed in a coffin and placed in Yaohua Palace.
King Luo Yechen of England was wearing white linen mourning clothes and kneeling in front of the spirit tablet. His eyes were bloodshot and looked red.
Bu Shengyan was also dressed in mourning clothes.
She knelt beside Luo Yechen, accompanying him silently.
People kept coming to burn incense and pay their respects to Concubine Hui.
Words like "My condolences" were repeated, and Luo Yechen kept his head down from beginning to end and did not speak.
Fortunately, Bu Shengyan was there to help take care of things, so it didn't seem rude.
The Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao also came.
