At noon on this day, Yuan Cheng came to the inn and met Xiao Baoyin, the king of Jian'an, and Xiao Fangzi, the eunuch.

Yuan Cheng greeted: "His Royal Highness King Jian'an, we meet again." Don't come unharmed. ”

"I'm very bad. Because, my country has perished. Xiao Yan, a chaotic minister and thief, actually forced His Majesty to self-immolate. Xiao Baojuan's tears burst out of his eyes at that moment.

"Huh? However, Liang Guo said that the Marquis of Qi (Xiao Baojuan) was killed by the assassin of Northern Xuzhou. Why did it become self-immolation? Yuan Cheng was a little incredulous.

He thought to himself: Does Xiao Baojuan need to self-immolate?

Xiao Yan should still be able to make him rich and prosperous for a lifetime!

Xiao Yan has always been kind-hearted!

"Lord Wang, Xiao Yan is so wantonly arresting the Qi clan in Jiangnan. Hundreds of people have already been executed. Even Xiao Baojuan's son and wife were executed. Xiao Baoyin cried.

Yuan Cheng was taken aback instantly, he thought to himself: Xiao Yan is so brutal.

He has already seized the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qi State. actually killed the clan of the Qi State. Is he still human?

"Is it because the Qi State Clan's resistance to Xiao Yan is too strong?" Yuan Cheng asked.

"Not really. Most of the Qi clan thought that Xiao Yan would let them go. So Xiao Yan has always been a cooperative attitude. But now Xiao Yan has killed them all. Even Xiao Baorong, who gave the Zen position to Xiao Yan, was executed by Xiao Yan. Xiao Baoyin cried.

He thought to himself, "Why am I still alive?" And not to die with them?

Oh my God. Why can Xiao Yan, such a cruel and unkind monarch, be so comfortable?

"The widow didn't expect that Xiao Yan would be so brutal. The widow has always thought: Xiao Yan is a benevolent monarch? Even Xiao Baorong, who was given to him by Zen, did not let go. Xiao Yan is really too much. Yuan Cheng scolded.

"Lord Wang, now I am a homeless person. I hope you Wei can take me in. I am willing to serve you Wei State. I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I am also proficient in the art of war. I hope that you Wei can give me an official position. Even if it's a prefectural order. I can do it too. Xiao Baoyin pleaded.

"His Royal Highness King Jian'an, you don't have to be so polite. The widow thinks that your talent is okay to be a great general. Therefore, the widow will take you to meet the emperor of my Great Wei Kingdom. His Majesty the Emperor of Wei admires you the most for being a talented person who is both civil and military. Yuan Cheng said with a smile.

He thought to himself: Xiao Baoyin has always been wise. If His Majesty can let him serve the Wei State. It will definitely be able to win over the scholars in Jiangnan.

In the future, if our Great Wei State captures Jiangnan, Xiao Baoyin must be a good pawn.

"Don't dare to be. Rajah. I'm just a dead country. There is also nothing for you to boast about. Xiao Baoyin cried.

"Your Highness, don't be sad. We'll help you fulfill your wishes. You have to believe in our Wei country. Isn't General Pei Shuye also alive and well in our Wei country? Moreover, if you want to get rid of Xiao Yan. It's not impossible. Yuan Cheng said with a smile.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness already has a plan?" Eunuch Xiao Fangzi asked.

"Yes. Your nephew is still with Xiao Yan now. Yuan Cheng said.

"You're kidding me, aren't you? How could I still have a nephew? The clans of the Qi State were all slaughtered by Xiao Yan. Xiao Baoyin was a little unconvinced.

He thought to himself: Yuan Cheng is fooling me!

Xiao Yan is so ruthless, how could he let my nephew go?

"Your Royal Highness King Jian'an, you are wrong. Your nephew is Xiao Zong. His mother is Wu Shuyuan. Wu Shuyuan is now Xiao Yan's concubine, and she gave birth to Xiao Zong in seven months. Nowadays, the people of Jiankang City are talking about it. Yuan Cheng said.

"That's right. My brother Xiao Baojuan has a concubine who is Wu Shuyuan. Could it be that she really remarried Xiao Yan? Xiao Baoyin asked.

In order for her son not to be killed by Xiao Yan, she committed herself to Xiao Yan. Moreover, she is now the second favorite concubine in Xiao Yan's harem after Ding Guifei. Yuan Cheng said with a smile.

"If Xiao Yan can make him the crown prince. Isn't the Jiangshan Society of our Qi country restored? Xiao Baoyin couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Not necessarily. Xiao Yan is not a fool. It is impossible for him not to know the gossip of the common people. He didn't pay attention to it because he wasn't sure if Xiao Zong was his son. Yuan Cheng analyzed.

"When Xiao Zong grows up, I also need to let him know his background. He could not continue to confess the thief as his father. Xiao Baoyin said angrily.

At the same time, Xiao Yan also heard the folk gossip in Jiankang City.

"Your Majesty, the common people are ...... Said that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is not...... Your son. He is...... Dongduhou ...... Xiao Baojuan...... son. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said tremblingly.

"Really? I was a little skeptical, too. Let the Imperial Doctor come over. Xiao Yan's expression suddenly became serious.

He thought to himself: If Xiao Zong is Xiao Baojuan's son, Wu Shuyuan will be guilty of bullying the king. I'm going to put her to death.

When the imperial doctor came, he asked inexplicably, "Your Majesty, what is the matter with you?" ”

"Imperial Doctor, recently you saw the second prince, is it a full-term child?" Xiao Yan asked.

The imperial doctor thought to himself: Wu Shuyuan has already given the villain a hundred taels of gold. If the villain tells the truth, I'm afraid I won't be able to live with her.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is less than a month. However, after the conditioning of the villain, he is no longer different from a full-term child. The Imperial Doctor said.

"You don't have to boast about it. I trust you. Hope you can do things well. Xiao Yan said with a smile.

He thought to himself: It seems that the second prince Xiao Tong is my son.

I'll just say it. How could it be the son of the Marquis of Dongdu?

The imperial doctor went to Wu Shuyuan and told her about Xiao Yan's suspicions.

"Thank you for today. If it weren't for you. I am afraid that the lives of our mother and son will not be saved. Wu Shuyuan wept.

She thought to herself: Xiao Yan has always been suspicious of me. I need to do something to make him believe in me. Otherwise, it's all over.

". It's all what I'm supposed to do. Niangniang is the master of the harem. His Royal Highness the Second Prince is gifted and deserves to be the crown prince. The Imperial Doctor smiled.

"Doctor, Hugh is talking nonsense. If this is the case, if His Majesty hears it, we will be in danger. Wu Shuyuan cried.

"Niangniang, Xiao Tong is just the son of Ding Guifei, and she is not the queen's mother. Why can her son be the crown prince? The Imperial Doctor scolded.

Wu Shuyuan thought: That's right. Ding Lingguang is not a queen. On what basis can her son be the crown prince? I must get rid of Ding Lingguang and make my son the crown prince.

"Niangniang, Weichen will definitely help you." The doctor said.

"Imperial Doctor, why are you helping this palace?" Wu Shuyuan asked.

"I am the imperial physician of the Qi Kingdom. If it weren't for Xiao Yan killing the monarch and usurping the throne, I would still be the imperial physician of the Qi Kingdom. Today, Niangniang's son is the heir of the Emperor of Qi. Wechen must let the country of Qi recover. The Imperial Doctor said.

"Thank you, Doctor." Wu Shuyuan saluted.

Let's talk about Xiao Baoyin, who is far away in the Wei State in the north.

General Chen Bozhi sneaked into Luoyang.

He said to Xiao Baoyin: "Your Highness, back then, Weichen was also coerced by Xiao Yan to surrender. ”

"The widow doesn't blame you. Because this is also a helpless move. However, I hope you can help the widows capture Gangnam now. Xiao Baoyin patted Chen Bozhi on the shoulder and said.

"His Royal Highness King Jian'an. Xiao Yan has just become an emperor now, and he is full of ambition. If we buy the people of the palace now, secretly transport some wood, set the palace on fire, and create chaos. If General Chen Bozhi leads the army to attack the palace, he will definitely be able to control the situation, depose Xiao Yan, support His Royal Highness to ascend the throne, and restore the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qi State. The eunuch Xiao Fangzi said.
