All of a sudden, all eyes were on Li Rong.

The people standing on the Queen Mother's side had long been prepared, with warm eyes, waiting for Li Rong to follow the arranged path.

The rest were either puzzled or shocked.

Li Rong was introduced to the court by Li Wei, and he was not considered a very present person in the court. At this time, he was suddenly mentioned, and people who didn't know it couldn't react for a while.

Li Rong also quickly stood up: "I only want to serve the country, and I don't dare to think about the throne. I have no talent or virtue, so I am not worthy of this great responsibility. Please, my lords, choose another virtuous leader."

"You are also of royal blood, and you have both ability and political integrity. Why can't you? Could it be that the court is going to be chaotic, and you want to leave it alone?" An official from the Queen Mother's side stood up.

Li Rong repeatedly declined.

Others finally came to their senses and stood up and said, "Queen Mother, don't be hasty at this time. I think you should wait for news from King Jiu'an."

"Yeah yeah……"

For a while, the court was divided into two factions, one faction thought it was better to wait for the news of King Jiu'an, and the other thought that this kind of matter could not be delayed, and chaos would arise if it was delayed, and a new emperor should be established as soon as possible.

Li Rong was caught in the middle and refused.

After thinking twice, the queen mother decided to wait for another three days, and if it really couldn't wait for King Jiu'an to return to Beijing, then discuss it.

After the court meeting was over, everyone stepped forward and surrounded Li Rong. Li Rong finally broke free and returned to Fu's house. Li Rong let out a long sigh of relief after making sure the door was closed and the doorman followed.

Fu Miao heard the movement, saw Li Rong's frightened face, smiled and went forward: "What's the matter? What happened?"

Li Rong walked in with her, lowered his voice and said: "In the court today, the news of the emperor's assassination and death came out. The empress dowager ordered someone to recommend me in Chaoshang, and it was quite a struggle."

When Fu Miao heard the news, her smile became lighter. She thought for a while and said, "What's the result?"

"Of course it was pushed. The people under the queen mother are naturally happy to finish this matter quickly, but there are many people in the court who are not with the queen mother. Besides, there is no news of King Jiu'an yet. Those ministers naturally want to Wait for King Jiu'an to come back."

After Li Rong finished speaking, he said again: "I don't know what step the emperor is going to wait for the development of the matter before he stands up."

Fu Miao didn't know either, she just said: "King Jiu'an is at home, talking to Dad in the study, you go first."

As soon as Li Rong heard the news, he immediately walked through the front hall to the study room, and as soon as he entered, he saw Li Yi sitting at the table with a smile on his face, and Prime Minister Fu, who was pretending to be Ling Xuan, was also beside him.

"My lord."

Li Rong stepped forward to salute, and said: "When did the prince return to Beijing? Why was there no news before?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "I'm also a native of the capital, and my followers are still outside the city. I went into the city alone to see what's going on, but I didn't expect to hear rumors spreading all over the place as soon as I entered the city. It seems that Liu's family is I really can't sit still, how is the situation in the court today?"

"The Empress Dowager has already opened her mouth to confirm the assassination and death of the emperor, and she will choose a new king." Li Rong said: "My lord, in my opinion, this matter cannot be delayed any longer."

"Are you afraid that if you go on like this, if you really sit in that position, you will be punished afterwards?"

Before Li Rong could answer, Li Yi said again: "Since we instructed you to do this matter, we will naturally not trouble you, and the external affairs are already prepared, and we will come to a conclusion in three days' time. ,You do not have to worry about."

Hearing this sentence, Li Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then... what about the emperor?"

Hearing Li Rong's question, Li Yi glanced at Ling Xuan and said with a smile: "He will come tomorrow, you just wait in the hall."

Upon hearing this, Li Rong nodded.

It seems that these things have already been arranged, so he doesn't have to think about it anymore.

Anyway, it's useless to think too much about these things now, so it's better to restrain your thoughts and put them when they are useful.

……

The carriage staggered and stopped outside a house in the suburbs of Beijing. Fu Yao lifted the curtain and looked outside. The guards in front came to the carriage and said, "The empress, the emperor ordered that it is not suitable to enter the city at this time. Please wait for the empress first." Place it here, and I will protect the safety of the empress."

"Where's the emperor?" Fu Yao asked.

They left Linchuan separately. Li Wei brought his troops to the capital first. They traveled slower in horse-drawn carriages, so they guessed the outskirts of Beijing today.

She thought she would go straight into the city, but she didn't expect to stop here first.

The guard said: "I don't know the specific whereabouts of the emperor, but the emperor has already separated households, so he should come to see the empress."

"..." Fu Yao hesitated for a moment, then looked at An Chengyue beside him, and nodded in agreement.

Everything in the house has been taken care of, Fu Yao can live in directly, and Xinliu tidied up everything in the room.

In the courtyard, Fu Yao looked at the servants who were busy being surrounded by Xinliu, and suddenly saw two people talking about something when they came up, and there was no sound again when they came to the front.

"You guys, stop."

As soon as Fu Yao opened his mouth, the two women immediately stopped and looked over in fear: "What's your order, madam?"

"What were you talking about just now?" Fu Yao asked.

The two women looked at each other, not daring to hide it, and said in a straightforward manner: "We are just discussing the news that has spread in the capital these days, saying that a corpse was found in the suburbs of Beijing before, and then it spread We have heard the news that the emperor was assassinated and died, and now we are choosing a new emperor."

"what!"

Fu Yao was so shocked that An Chengyue had already stepped forward: "What new emperor?"

"It's just... just rumors from outside."

Fu Yao came back to her senses, saw that the woman was frightened, she stepped forward to stop An Chengyue, and waited for the two women to leave before saying: "This matter may not be true, please don't worry."

Only then did An Chengyue calm down, thinking about it, how could her senior brother really die so easily, it must be the trick of the Liu family.

But the brother didn't stop him, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"Let's go to the city in disguise."

Fu Yao's voice suddenly came from beside her. An Chengyue turned her head in surprise: "What?"

Fu Yao said: "We don't know what's going on now, we can go to the city to find out the news."

"No." An Chengyue said without thinking, "You don't know martial arts. The three-legged cat's kung fu you learned from me is only enough to exercise your body. If you really meet someone, you won't be able to beat them at all. Senior brother told us to stay here." , I can’t take you into the city.”

"But..." Fu Yao didn't feel that he couldn't do anything.

"I'll go, I'll disguise myself, and I'll come back and tell you when I hear any news." An Chengyue interrupted her.
