Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 950: As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood
In the afternoon dusk.

The three of them went through numerous obstacles before finally arriving at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the hall at this time, apart from the many palace maids and eunuchs who were guarding Leng Yixiu's body, only Leng Yixiuan was sitting cross-legged in front of the coffin, holding Buddhist beads and chanting sutras for Leng Yixiu's soul.

Gu Chan and the other two looked at each other, walked forward and knelt down to pay homage to the spirit tablet, and then went forward one by one to burn incense.

After doing all this, the three of them walked to stand beside Leng Yixuan, and Gu Chan whispered in his ear, "Prince Yi, stop pretending. I can feel that the charred body lying in the dragon coffin is not Her Majesty the Queen."

"Brother Xu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want!" Leng Yixiuan reminded.

"When we went to the Other Shore Mountain together before, I slept with Her Majesty the Queen in the carriage for a whole day. I know exactly what kind of spiritual energy she has in her body. You can fool others but you can't fool me." Gu Chan said in a firm tone.

Leng Yixiu's spiritual energy is golden spiritual energy, which is her unique spiritual energy and very special. She had displayed this spiritual energy before when she was on the top of the other side mountain, protecting the black centipede.

So Gu Chan was extremely impressed by her spiritual energy.

Such an extremely unique aura would still remain inside the body even if the person was burned. But now, the body lying in the dragon coffin had no such golden aura remaining in its body.

From this point alone, Gu Chan was certain that Leng Yixiu was definitely not dead.

Feng Hao sighed and said, "Prince Yi, you should understand that the three of us are the top three in this year's exam selected by Her Majesty the Queen, so we must be on her side."

"Yes, now this matter is obviously very strange. If Her Majesty the Queen needs our help, we will do our best to help her." Wu Zhengyuan said sternly.

After hearing what the two said, Leng Yixuan waved his hand and ordered, "You all go out and wait for a while! The four of us have something to talk about, don't let anyone come in and disturb us."

"Yes, Prince Yi." All the palace maids and eunuchs said in unison.

Then they walked out of the temple together.

Leng Yixuan stood up and led the three people to the back of the dragon coffin. He stroked the golden dragon coffin with his hand and said with a wry smile, "I know that the three of you are loyal to the royal sister, so I have nothing to hide from you. After the fire started last night, the royal uncle and his daughter attacked with a group of strong physical warriors and also mobilized the imperial guards in the palace. If the royal sister didn't escape, she would have died."

"What a cold prince! He actually wants to usurp the throne." Wu Zhengyuan said gritting his teeth.

"Brother Wu, you are too straightforward and not as good at strategy as Brother Feng and Brother Xu, so I have to remind you to keep this matter to yourself and never leak it to anyone." Leng Yixiuan warned.

"Yes, Prince Yi." Wu Zhengyuan said respectfully.

He also understood his own shortcoming and did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.

Leng Yixuan added, "Don't worry, the person lying in the dragon coffin is just the body of a palace maid who is not much different in age and size from my sister. My sister has been hidden in a safe place and is not in danger for the time being."

"Prince Yi, are you two going to watch the throne change hands?" Gu Chan questioned. "Yes! It's not a good idea for Her Majesty to hide like this. As long as she doesn't come out for seven days, once the dragon coffin is placed in the imperial mausoleum, her death will be confirmed. Then Prince Leng can bring all the civil and military officials to support his eldest daughter to ascend the throne and become the new empress of Diyue Kingdom!" Feng Hao said with a faint smile.

Leng Yixuan said bitterly, "Now, my sister and I cannot defeat the emperor's uncle no matter what. It's okay for the emperor's sister to hide, but once she shows up, she will definitely die. So tell me, what should I do? Besides, I can't even protect myself now. The emperor's uncle will target me next."

"I have a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible." Gu Chan said cunningly.

"What plan? Tell me about it." Leng Yixiuan said with a frown.

Gu Chan touched her chin and thought for a while, then said with a sly smile, "When I came all the way from the north, I found that the three cities on the northern border of Diyue Country, Xinyue City, Linzhou City, and Xuanyue City, can be said to be three cities that are linked together. Whether it is food, fodder, soldiers, or money, these three cities are very sufficient. Now that you can't fight against Prince Leng, why don't you two siblings abandon Kyoto and move north to rebuild the capital in the north."

"You mean, splitting the Diyue Kingdom?" Leng Yixuan asked.

"What else? You two siblings, plus the Queen Mother and all the concubines in the palace, can't win in a fight. If you don't do this, you will die in Kyoto sooner or later!" Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

Leng Yixuan's face immediately became filled with pain.

The prosperity of the Diyue Kingdom today was not easy to come by! When the previous emperor was in power, the Tiancang Kingdom had already split off. If it splits off again now, wouldn't the Diyue Kingdom be in chaos?
Therefore, he did not want the Earth-Moon Kingdom to be divided again from the bottom of his heart.

Wu Zhengyuan said excitedly, "Prince Yi, I think Brother Xu's plan is not bad. You go to the north to rebuild the capital and strengthen your strength. I will go back to the old capital in the south to support Her Majesty the Queen in rising up. Then, won't it be a good opportunity for us to attack the old prince together from the north and the south?"

"That's right. In this way, we can slowly weaken the old prince's strength, and it will only be a matter of time before we take back Kyoto." Feng Hao agreed.

Leng Yixuan's heart suddenly became shaken.

Gu Chan urged, "What are you thinking about! Hurry up and take your people with you, get the Queen Mother and the concubines out of the city secretly, and then you two siblings will run to the north with them. If you are late, not only Her Majesty the Queen, but you, the Queen Mother, and the concubines will all die."

"Run quickly, Prince Yi. As long as you two siblings go to the north to build a new capital, those ministers in the court who are loyal to you will bring their families to join you. By then, the people on the old prince's side will surely be demoralized, which will be in the best interest of you." Feng Hao persuaded.

Leng Yixuan bit his tongue and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay! Then I'll listen to you. There's no better way right now, so this is the only way."

"Then Brother Feng, Brother Wu, I'll leave the task of assisting Prince Yi and the others in their secret escape to you. I have my own things to do and cannot go with you." Gu Chan said with a smirk.

After saying that, she immediately turned and left.

Leng Yixuan looked at her leaving back and asked with a puzzled look, "What is she going to do?"

"If she doesn't create some trouble for the old prince and attract the attention of the father and daughter, how can we have a chance to protect Her Majesty the Queen and escape!" Feng Hao said with a wry smile.

Leng Yixiuan and Wu Zhengyuan looked at each other and both nodded without comment.

At the moment, there is probably no more suitable person than Gu Chan who can make a big fuss and give Prince Leng a headache.
