Chapter 507 The Death of Emperor Xiyue (4)
Xia Xiuzhu looked at Mu Qingyi, but after all he just nodded and didn't say anything more.

With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the capital, no matter how careful you are, it is absolutely impossible not to startle people.But the people in the outer city are not very curious. The people who have lived under the foot of the emperor like the capital for a long time are well versed in the way of survival.

Standing at the gate of the palace, Mo Wenqing looked at the handsome and gentle boy in white with a complicated look on his face.Under the umbrella in the night, the teenager feels more vulnerable than usual.But he knew that this seemingly harmless young man in front of him could turn the clouds upside down in a flash, making many once ambitious princes and grandchildren only end in sadness.

"Are you really going in?" Mo Wenqing asked with a frown.

Mu Qingyi nodded and said, "Naturally." Although everything about Rong Jin's news is under control, it's always worrying not to see it with your own eyes.Naturally, these things can also be handed over to the people below, but...Mu Qingyi smiled bitterly, and now she knew that she was not really someone who could plan strategies and just wait for a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

Just because there is someone she misses in this deep palace, she has no choice but to go in.

Mo Wenqing looked at her in silence for a long time, nodded and said, "I'll accompany you in." Although his life was only less than 30 years old, he had met quite a few women who were either stunning or capable.But Mo Wenqing had never seen such a woman.

When being a woman, she is graceful and refined, intelligent and intelligent.When he was a man, he was gentle and elegant, and his manner of acting was not inferior to that of a man.If it weren't for his excellent medical skills, Mo Wenqing might not have been able to see through Mu Qingyi's identity so easily if he asked himself.Such a talented, magnificent and even princess-like woman from a famous family should be loved and cared for by everyone.But she gave up everything and followed a Xiyue prince to this unfamiliar Xiyue, and she gave up her daughter to be a third-rank government official, and she actually did well.Now, he still wants to help King Yu seize the throne, even at the risk of his own life.

Mo Wenqing had to admit that it was difficult to find a woman like Mu Qingyi among thousands of women in the world.Rong Jin...is really lucky.Mo Wenqing couldn't help feeling a faint sense of envy.

"Thank you." Mu Qingyi whispered.Now that the situation in the palace is not clear, given their friendship, Mo Wenqing is willing to accompany her on the adventure, and he doesn't know what else to say except to thank her.

"I promised others to protect you." Mo Wenqing said indifferently, "Besides, I thought we were friends."

Mu Qingyi smiled and nodded, "That's right, we are friends."

Mo Wenqing turned her face away indifferently, "Let's go." Where Mu Qingyi could not see, Mo Wenqing, the cold and heartless Medicine King Valley Master in the eyes of outsiders, quietly blushed his ears.Master Mo Gu has always been aloof, and it was the first time in his life that he offered to be friends with someone, but he was still a dissatisfied young girl.

In the Hall of Qinghe, Rong Jin came out from behind the screen, and all the princes who were kneeling on the ground stood up one after another, only Rong Zhang, whose acupuncture points had been tapped by Emperor Xiyue, could not move.

Rong Yan gave Rong Zhang a strange look, and asked worriedly, "Ninth Brother, how is Father?"

Rong Jin said calmly, "Crash."

Everyone's face was frozen, as if they couldn't react for a long time.Staring blankly at the old man lying on the dragon bed behind the screen, he collapsed...how come so soon...

After recovering, Rong Yan rushed in first, and the other princes naturally followed closely behind.Soon there were mournful cries from inside.Jiang Bin has been standing there holding the imperial decree, and seeing this situation, he knows that the master he has served for decades has really gone.

"Your Majesty has passed away!" Not long after, the sound of the death knell sounded from the uppermost part of the palace wall, and the heavy pounding of bells could be heard throughout the imperial city, indicating the fall of a generation of kings.

On this day, most people in the inner city were actually prepared, so in less than a quarter of an hour, the royal clan and ministers from the first rank and above had all gathered in the palace.The only ones who can enter Qinghe Hall are the royal family members.

In the royal family of Xiyue, there are not many clan members who are close to Emperor Xiyue.In the generation of Emperor Xiyue, only one elder brother, one younger brother and several nephews were left, and the rest of the relationship was too far away to be qualified to participate in royal affairs.

Because of the behavior of the Xiyue Emperor, these remaining princes and counties are far less comfortable than the princes of other countries, and they usually behave with their tails between their legs.Now that Emperor Xiyue finally died, maybe they still secretly cried out in their hearts.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang." All the princes rushed to the house.

These two princes are the only remaining brothers of the same generation as Emperor Xiyue in Xiyue.Lu Wang Rong Muli and Qi Wang Rong Mufeng.Rong Murli is four years older than Emperor Xiyue this year, and he is already 73 years old this year.Although the beard and hair are all white, it may be because of the proper maintenance and good health regimen these years, but it is also full of energy.Rong Mufeng is the youngest son of the late emperor, much younger than Emperor Xiyue and Rong Muri, and he is only in his early fifties this year. Although his eyes are red and he looks sad, his spirit is not bad .

Rong Muli was getting old, he was helped in by his son, he waved his hands and said: "Forgive me, your majesty is very saddened by the death of this king, but what happens after this... still needs you sons and grandchildren to take care of it. Don't worry." Do not mourn too much.”

"Thank you uncle for teaching." Everyone thanked.

Rong Muli asked: "Before His Majesty, did you leave any will?"

Jiang Bin took a step forward, held the imperial decree respectfully and said, "To the lord, here is His Majesty's last edict." Rong Murli hesitated, then raised his eyes to look at the crowd.Rong Mufeng said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, there are no outsiders here. Brother Huang is an elder, so I'll let you preside over it."

Only then did Rong Murli accept the will and slowly open it.

"Follow the heavens, the emperor ordered..." Emperor Xiyue was obviously in a good mood during his lifetime, and wrote a lot in a profuse manner.When Rong Muli read the most important part, he almost got stuck, "Emperor... well, the ninth son, Rong Jin, is extremely intelligent, and I deeply respect him, and the ninth son of the emperor, Rong Jin, respects you."

Not to mention the kneeling princes, even Rong Muri, who was holding the imperial decree, couldn't help blinking to see if his eyes were wrong.But even if he blinked his eyes cramped, he still had to accept that the gleaming imperial decree was written in five big characters, Rong Jin, the ninth son of the emperor.

Rong Murli couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, his younger brother is a talented man, even when he became the throne, no one would be dissatisfied.It's a pity that I've lost my head since I met that woman, and I can't wake up for 20 years until I die.Everyone knows that the emperor loves the Ninth Prince, but if it is said that the emperor wants to pass the throne to the Ninth Prince, no one will believe it.Apart from the emperor's favor, what does the Ninth Prince have?ability?Merit?The support of the powerful?Popular prestige?The Ninth Prince has nothing.
