Chapter 391: The Death of the Great Uncle

Xia Miaoyuan thought to himself after hearing this: "Could it be that the Great Uncle was also possessed by a dragon?"

Emperor Mingxi nodded: "I also thought of the dragon."

"Recently, I witnessed the strange situation of Chengnian being controlled by a dragon, and combined with what I heard from Chunyu Yilan today, I thought of the abnormality of my eldest brother."

"What's even more strange is that my eldest brother also had a confidante who loved him like a treasure."

The three princes and their siblings all looked gossipy after hearing this.

[Confidante? Loved like a treasure? Isn't that exactly the same as the situation of my second brother? ! ]

[Daddy, tell me! What kind of confidante! 】

The crown prince also cast an expectant look at Emperor Mingxi, as if waiting for him to continue speaking, but the second prince's face suddenly turned red, and he turned his face away, as if embarrassed.

Emperor Mingxi continued: "Originally, the eldest brother was a person who didn't care much about women. After he was crowned, my father took the initiative to choose a principal wife and a concubine for him."

"He treated the two crown princesses indifferently, and most of his mind was spent on official duties. For many years after the wedding, he didn't even have a concubine or a maid." "

But when he was 29 years old, a young woman with beautiful looks suddenly appeared by his side."

"He seemed to be extremely fascinated by that woman, and soon took her as a concubine, and often let the woman dress up as a man and take her with him."

Xia Miaoyuan secretly glanced at the second prince, [Mama! This is too much! It’s even crazier than the second brother’s time!

Second Prince: Please, stop comparing me to others!

Xia Miaoyuan wanted to laugh when he saw the second prince’s embarrassed expression, but suddenly he felt that the second prince was the victim and it was not good to laugh at him like this, so he asked: "Father, does the emperor not care about what your uncle does?" Emperor

Mingxi sighed: "It is not appropriate for a prince to take his concubine everywhere, even on errands, but he doesn’t care at all and continues to do what he does."

"Even at the palace banquet where the incident happened, the concubine disguised herself as a servant and followed the prince."

Ahhh! It’s even more alike. The plot is exactly the same! 】

"But strangely, after the prince got into trouble, the concubine suddenly disappeared."

The prince's eyes lit up when he heard this: "So father, you suspect that the concubine back then was Chunyu Yilan's master, the Dai Viet witch?"

Emperor Mingxi looked at the prince with admiration: "That's right."

The second prince murmured: "So, father asked Chunyu Yilan to draw the appearance of her master."

"Yes!" Emperor Mingxi nodded.

"That concubine, I still remember her appearance, and remember that her name is Su Lian. I want to see if Su Lian is the Dai Viet witch."

[Ahhh! Explosion!] Xia Miaoyuan felt that her head was buzzing, too much information was drilling into her brain.

[If father's conjecture is true, that is to say, as early as more than ten years ago, Dai Viet had already used this vicious strategy against my Da Xia! ]

[And it was very successful. 】

【I remember that it was written in the book that my great uncle was a man of both civil and military skills, decisive in killing, and a talent who could do everything. 】

【He was definitely a perfect prince. A future emperor with a promising future. 】

【If the throne of Daxia was passed to him, it would definitely usher in a prosperous era. 】

【It is possible that Daxia would become the strongest country in the Central Plains. 】

【But the tragedy happened, which hurt him and the sixth prince. The emperor could not bear the blow and died of illness soon after. 】

【Before he died, he had to hand over the throne to my father who was not suitable to be an emperor. 】

【In the original book, my father was kind and weak, and the foreign relatives ruled the country, and Daxia was in chaos. Later, the foreign relatives simply usurped power. 】

Emperor Mingxi and his sons listened quietly to their daughter's voice, and they were deeply moved.

Especially Emperor Mingxi, he felt ashamed when he thought of the ending of his governance of Daxia in the heavenly book that his daughter told him.

In this life, I am so lucky to have my precious daughter. If it weren't for her voice to remind me, Daxia would still follow the old path of being usurped by foreign relatives, and I and the princes and concubines would have become cannon fodder long ago.

Xia Miaoyuan's voice continued, [Hey, why is it like this? 】

【It was not easy to reverse the ending of Daxia being destroyed early, and I thought it would be much smoother next. But now, we have discovered the powerful enemy Dai Viet. 】

【What a bastard author! So many hidden plots are not written. It turns out that the destruction of Daxia is also the work of Dai Viet! 】

Xia Miaoyuan became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, her cheeks puffed up like a little goldfish.

Emperor Mingxi looked down at his precious daughter and felt distressed. He hurriedly held Xia Miaoyuan in his arms and coaxed her, "My dear Miaoer, when Daddy finds out what happened to Dai Viet, he will definitely fight back! Get all the debts back!"

He said this to Xia Miaoyuan, and also to himself.

His dearest and most respected elder brother was imprisoned after the accident at the palace banquet.

Killing brothers is a serious crime punishable by beheading. It was the late emperor who was concerned about the relationship between father and son and was reluctant to take his elder brother's life.

However, after his elder brother was imprisoned, he had been crazy and died of illness just over a year later.

If what happened back then was really the work of Dai Viet, he must settle the account.

...

The reception hall.

Han Lie, the Great Prince, and Bai Zhou sat around the table.

Han Lie held the teacup and scraped the tea foam with the cup lid.

The Great Prince leaned on the chair with half his eyes.

Bai Zhou said anxiously: "Great Prince, Lord Han, what should we do now? Miss Chunyu has been arrested, will she confess everything?"

"I heard that the Heavenly Prison of Daxia is a place that can make people live a life worse than death. If Miss Chunyu can't bear the torture and confesses everything, will the Emperor of Daxia arrest us and kill us directly?"

Han Lie frowned.

The Great Prince said bluntly: "Lord Bai, you are a third-rank official at least, why can't you handle it?"

"You and I are envoys of Dai Viet, representing Dai Viet. If Emperor Minh Xi arrests and executes us, we will be enemies with the entire Dai Viet."

"It's like declaring war on Dai Viet!"

"Even if Chunyu confesses everything, what can Emperor Minh Xi do?"

"When two countries are at war, envoys should not be executed! Has Lord Bai forgotten this?"

After hearing this, Bai Zhou lowered his head with embarrassment on his face and kept silent.

Han Lie said slowly: "Your Highness is right."

"Now that Daxia has just ended the war in the northern border, the treasury is empty and it has no power to continue the war."

"Even if they know our plan, they can't do anything to us."

"Besides, it's just Chunyu's one-sided statement without any evidence. How can they convict us!"

"What we should worry about now is that if the plan fails, how can we report to the Empress Dowager after we go back!"

...

The next day.

As soon as Emperor Mingxi came to the study after the morning court, Debao hurried in.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chunyu Yilan has finished the portrait!"
