Chapter 116 The One I Adore

Adored person...

Xie Zhuoning's eyes flickered, and he was a little dazed, so much so that when he walked out of the door of Linjiang Tower, he didn't notice a row of horses galloping past.

The people on horseback were wearing dark clothes and black armor, and their aura was overwhelming.

The common people made way for a path in the middle.

In the midst of pushing and shoving, there is always no time to dodge.

A little child tried to hug a puppy that was running around, but he didn't have time to run away. When he saw a galloping horse coming towards him, he was so scared that he was stunned.

The tall horse hoof could crush the tender spine into pieces with one step.

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

At this moment, a black horsewhip was swung out and wrapped around the child's waist.

With another throw to the side, the child fell safely into the arms of his parents.

Everyone looked up at the man swinging the whip. His black cloak seemed to be flying, and his brocade python robe was covered with circles of dark gold embroidery. His eyes were like the breeze and the bright moon, and he was as dazzling as the scorching sun.

Like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, everyone started to boil.

"It's His Majesty Prince Xuan!"

"I told you that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan will definitely not sit idly by!"

"He's so awesome, I love him so much~ Today is another day I want to marry His Royal Highness Prince Xuan!"

Xiao Jinxuan has always had a good reputation among the people, and now it has reached a higher level.

Perhaps the only failure in his life was that he had a mistress who was known throughout the city.

"Sister Zhuoning," Song Yuqiu raised her hand and waved in front of Xie Zhuoning's eyes, "Everyone has gone far away, and you are still looking at them. Are you really interested in His Royal Highness Prince Xuan..."

Just as she was about to start knocking, Xie Zhuoning came back to his senses, his eyes thoughtful, "He's not bringing people from Feiyun Guards, he's bringing people from the Yufu Division. Where are they going with such a big fuss?"

"Oh, are you thinking about this?" Song Yuqiu was a little disappointed.

Xie Zhuoning looked at her in confusion, "What else? What do you think I'm thinking?"

Song Yuqiu: “…”

That day, Sister Zhuoning sprained her ankle at the plum-tasting banquet, but His Royal Highness Prince Xuan personally carried her away.

She thought, there should be some spark between these two people, right?

result?

Her sister Zhuoning is busy taking care of all those trivial things!

Xie Zhuoning didn't have time to care what Song Yuqiu was thinking, so he immediately asked someone to find out.

Not long after, the person sent back reported: "Miss, Prince Xuan has gone to the Crimson Tower."

When Song Yuqiu heard this, he pouted, "What a scumbag!"

She just wanted to flatter him and Sister Zhuo Ning, but now it seems that this kind of bastard is not even worthy of carrying Sister Zhuo Ning's shoes!

Xie Zhuoning raised his hand, motioning him to continue.

"It is said that the eldest prince and the prince of Yong had a fight over the courtesan, and His Royal Highness Prince Xuan was there to deal with the matter."

Song Yuqiu was extremely embarrassed and smiled with a guilty conscience, "Oh, so he was going to the public office. On the way to the public office, His Majesty Prince Xuan saved a child. He is truly wise and brave and will be remembered for all eternity!"

Xie Zhuoning glanced at her with a half-smile, "How come I didn't know that you also have the talent of changing your expression?"

"Hehe." Song Yuqiu pulled the corners of his mouth dryly, indicating that he didn't want to talk.

After listening to the report, Xie Zhuoning realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Murong Yan's trick of using a knife to kill someone was very clever. After achieving his wish, he was able to kill two birds with one stone, which gave people an unexpected surprise.

She immediately sent someone to invite Murong Yan over.

Murong Yan did not come empty-handed, he was holding a thick stack of papers in his hand.

"What is this?" Xie Zhuoning was a little curious.

He smiled and said, "Something you want right away."

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyebrows.

He knows what I want before I even open my mouth to ask for it?

She took the stack of papers and looked at it. She laughed and said, "It's exactly what I want."

This time, Xiao Bicheng and Xiao Yi caused such a terrible scene in the Crimson Tower, so of course they had to add fuel to the fire behind the scenes and make their reputations ruined completely.

What Murong Yan brought was nothing but nursery rhymes about the fight between the eldest prince and the prince of Yong for the most beautiful woman.

Nursery rhymes are catchy and as long as you spend some money to spread them, they will soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and even to other states and counties.

"There is one more thing," Murong Yan frowned, "Miss, please choose a new master from among the royal family members as soon as possible."

Now everyone tacitly assumes that the next emperor will be one of the eldest prince and Prince Yong, so even if their reputations are extremely bad, they will only choose to support the one with a slightly better reputation.

They must elect a new leader as soon as possible to give everyone new hope, and then those people will turn to the third possibility.

But this new master must be someone they can control.

When the new master ascends the throne, the world will be in their hands.

Xie Zhuoning slightly twitched his brows, his long eyelashes forming a beautiful fan shape. "It's not difficult to choose someone who is easy to control, but being easy to control means a weak background. How can someone with a weak background be qualified to compete with Xiao Bicheng and Prince Yong?"

Although Emperor Zhaowen had only one son, Xiao Bicheng, he had many brothers and countless nephews and nieces.

However, these brothers were all tightly controlled by Emperor Zhaowen. They were all idle princes and had no real power at all.

Unlike Prince Yong, who has the support of the Queen Mother and Duke Zheng, no one dares to touch him.

No matter who she chooses as the new master, she lacks the bargaining chips to compete with the eldest prince and Prince Yong.

"There is another choice..." Murong Yan's throat was stuck and he found it difficult to say it out loud.

Xie Zhuoning raised his eyes and looked at him, "What choice?"

Taking a deep breath, Murong Yan said, "You will come forward and persuade Prince Xuan to participate in the fight for the throne."

Now, only King Xuan has the strength to compete with the two of them!

"Impossible!" Xie Zhuoning blurted out and shook his head.

Xiao Jinxuan was a royalist. Before the death of the previous Emperor Zhaowen, he appointed him as Regent to protect Xiao Bicheng. That was how Xiao Bicheng was able to consolidate his throne so quickly.

He has no interest in the throne at all, so it would be extremely difficult for him to rebel!

Murong Yan looked at her meaningfully, "How can you know if you don't try?"

After a long silence, Xie Zhuoning said, "Let me think about it."

For a period of time that followed, popular nursery rhymes were sung everywhere in the capital.

Upon hearing the news, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan rushed into the Crimson Building, and walked out holding Prince Yong in one hand and the eldest prince in the other, as if he were carrying his grandsons.

When Prince Yong, who was already ill, heard about this, he fainted.

I heard that Emperor Zhaowen was so angry during the morning court session that he coughed up blood.

"Oh, you are cousins ​​indeed, you look exactly like each other. Instead of taking care of your father when he was sick, you went off to fight over an Oiran. They have completely disgraced the royal family!"

"If Daye fell into their hands, I'm afraid it would be over sooner or later!"

"It would be better to let His Royal Highness Prince Xuan ascend the throne."

"That's right! If His Royal Highness Prince Xuan were to become the emperor, I would be the first to support him!"

When the rumor reached the Zhenyang Marquis's Mansion, Xie Zhuoning was playing chess.

Hearing Xiao Jinxuan's strong support, she hesitated, "Do we really want to convince him to participate in the fight for the throne?"
