The premise is that Feng Changqi can come back alive, holding the inkstone secretly in his heart. How did the ministers know what he was thinking now, and when they heard this righteous and awe-inspiring statement, they all took it seriously, and they all praised it in unison: "Your Highness's benevolence and righteousness really make me ashamed!" If Your Majesty knows and knows your righteous deeds, you will be grateful! ”

Holding the inkstone and shaking his head, he put on a humble and sad appearance: "This is what this king should do." Your Excellency is so exalted to this king. ”

"What we say is from the bottom of our hearts!"

Among the group, only Lord Shen remained silent.

Today, I came to the palace to ask for a meeting, just to govern Meng Liguo, and now that the matter is resolved, the ministers naturally have no excuse to continue to stay here.

After Lord Shen began to retreat, the other officials also retreated.

It didn't take long for the main hall to be left with an inkstone and an attendant official. Without outsiders, there is no need to pretend anymore, holding the inkstone to put away all the emotions on his face, and slowly falling back: "Go and invite Qi Liangkun."

The internal official agreed and walked out of the living room quickly.

Qi Liangkun is the head of the palace guards, he has been obeying Bai Huan's orders before, and later he was bought by the Yan design, he is one of the few people in the palace who knows the true identity of the Yan, and if you count it carefully, you can be regarded as the henchman of the Yan. He has now specially ordered someone to invite him because of Feng Changqi's return to the palace.

"Did anyone enter or leave the palace last night?"

Qi Liangkun had just walked into the main hall, and before he even had time to salute, he asked such a question. He was stunned and shook his head decisively: "Since Your Highness, you ordered the palace gate to be sealed and no one was allowed to enter at will, everyone who passed through the palace has been closely searched, and indeed no suspicious person has ever been seen."

Qi Liangkun stayed in the palace as an errand a long time ago, so he couldn't even recognize Feng Changqi's face, right? They were able to sneak into the heavily guarded palace without alarming anyone, perhaps in a special way.

Holding Yan slightly fascinated his eyes: "Is there a secret passage in this palace?"

Qi Liangkun said embarrassedly: "My subordinates have never heard of similar rumors, and they don't know about it."

The person who had been standing next to ......him for a long time, and had never taken the initiative to speak, suddenly opened his mouth, because he thought of a certain possibility from the words in his mouth, "The slave has heard similar rumors. According to the old lady who used to serve in the palace, there is actually an extremely hidden tunnel built under the palace to deal with various emergencies...... His Majesty has always been the only one in his possession. ”

Although he didn't know exactly where the entrance to the secret passage was, it was enough for the current inkstone.

Holding Yan immediately commanded Qi Liangkun: "You look around in Huaming Palace, the entrance to the secret passage must be in this palace." Last night, there were forbidden guards outside the entire Huaming Palace, not to mention people, even a bird with wings couldn't fly out, Feng Changqi was a weak woman who didn't know martial arts, and there was a person by her side, so it was impossible to quietly cross these guards. ”

"My subordinates understand!"

The news that Bai Huan died of illness in the palace is definitely the most shocking news of the year, although there were rumors that Bai Huan was terminally ill, but the people of Meng Liguo still stubbornly believed that their majesty could survive, and it was not until the obituary came that they had to accept the facts in front of them.

Tens of thousands of people in Meng Liguo are happy or sad, and some people regret Bai Huan's death at a young age......

In an inn in a small town in the northwest.

"Her Majesty is so miserable!"

Some people are pity, and naturally some people don't care: "What do you know? That's the queen, Meng Liguo's ninety-five honor, even if she dies, she also dies dignified and decent, and ordinary people like you can be sorry for it? Let's do your part! ”

The man was not to be outdone: "Her Majesty is already ill-fated, can't I sympathize with her?"

Seeing that these two people were about to quarrel, someone hurriedly stood up and persuaded them to fight.

"Okay, you don't have to make any more noise, what's the use of being noisy? People can't be resurrected after death, and if we have the time to think about this and that, it's better to think about how we will live in the future! The current situation of Meng Liguo is already unstable, and Her Majesty the Queen is gone, I don't know how many messes will happen in the future! Maybe, we'll have to fight in the future—"

Before the old man finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of a cup breaking next to him, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of the old man. I saw that the young man frowned, and his expression was as gloomy as a cloud!

"What did you say happened to Her Majesty?" The young man asked in a hoarse voice.

The people who were talking about this just now looked at each other, only feeling that the young man in front of them was inexplicable, but they still told the ins and outs: "Haven't you heard? Her Majesty died in the palace five days ago......"

The young man shuddered and stepped back in astonishment, for if it weren't for the fact that someone had not been able to hold him up behind him, he would have fallen to the ground.

This young man was none other than Jade Hopeless, who hurried to Broken Leaf City in the northwest.

After he and Li Xinghe separated from Feng Changqi and the others in Lingcheng, they rushed all the way to Broken Leaf City, and they were delayed for two days on the way because of something, and now they have only come to this small city, and no one expected to hear this kind of news.

Li Xinghe dragged Yu Hopeless to the box on the second floor under the surprised gaze of everyone.

"I don't know how Qi'er is now!" Yu Wuwang closed his eyes, his heart was in sharp pain as if he was being held tightly by a pair of hands, at this moment, he really wished that he could ride the clouds and mist to the side of Feng Changqi! Qi'er regarded Bai Huan so important, how sad she should be to learn of the queen's death, but she couldn't be by her side at this heartbreaking moment......

Jade Hopeless really wanted to punch herself.

Li Xinghe sighed, he could understand Yu's hopeless mood at this moment, but he couldn't support his thoughts.

Things have already happened, what can be changed by whims?

He patted Yu Hopeless's shoulder and said, "Your Highness has Miss Yueqing and Wu Gongzi by your side, and Miss Qingxiu, who understands the situation in the palace, to help with the staff. She will definitely not be in danger, so don't worry about it for the time being. ”

Yu Wuwang gritted his teeth and nodded: "I understand what you mean, I won't turn back."

Just like the old man on the first floor of the inn said, Her Majesty the Queen's departure will definitely make the situation in Meng Liguo change dramatically, and now the person in control of the situation is the one who pretends to be the prince, and the orthodox heir to the throne is Feng Changqi, there must be a battle between the two, the only thing he can do now is to help Feng Changqi layout, and meeting with Lu Ming, who is guarding the northwest, is the first step in the chess game.

Thinking of this, Yu Wuwang couldn't sit still anymore: "Let's continue to hurry, we have to rush to Broken Leaf City as soon as possible."

In the camp of the Shattered Leaf City garrison, a letter was quickly delivered to a heroic general, and a shocking news was written in black and white on the letterhead.

This general was none other than General Lu Minglu, who was guarding the northwest frontier, and when he saw his solemn expression, he clutched the letter tightly and refused to let go, and after a while, he turned his head and ordered his soldiers: "Go and invite the military advisor."

The subordinate did as he was told, and it wasn't long before there was a sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by the sound of someone muttering dissatisfied.

"You know that I am going to patrol the camp today, and I am very busy, but you still have to call me back at such a time? What is this thinking? It's annoying. ”

"General Fang Cai's expression is unusual, I guess something happened."

The curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and the military advisor walked in, and before he could ask the confusion in his heart, Lu Ming had already handed over the letter: "The letter that was delivered quickly in the capital, you can take a look at it yourself."

"What do you want so much-" The military advisor's words came to an abrupt end, just because the content of the letter was too shocking, "How can this be, Your Majesty, she is still so young......"

Lu Ming lowered his eyes and said in a dumb voice: "The letter was sent by the special envoy, and there is no problem with the seal on it."

"But it's too sudden......"

Lu Ming shook his head: "Strictly speaking, this matter has been foreshadowed, isn't it?" Half a month ago, news came out from the palace, saying that His Majesty's condition was aggravated and her life was in danger, and she had not appeared in front of hundreds of officials for half a month. ”

The military advisor sighed: "General, what do you want to do next?"

Since Bai Huan's illness worsened, Meng Liguo's affairs were handed over to the prince, it can be said that the prince is the king in the true sense, if Bai Huan is willing to pass the throne to the prince, maybe Meng Liguo will not be able to mess up, but Bai Huan is not, Meng Liguo's prince is Feng Changqi. When she returns home, there will be a battle, and they have to stand up in advance to get their positions in place.

Lu Ming frowned, which side he was on, in fact, he didn't know in his heart. So he asked the military advisor, "What do you think I should do?"

The two have known each other for many years, and they have been together since the day they joined the army, and they have long been friends of life and death, so the military advisor is not defensive in front of Lu Ming, and he frankly said what he said: "Naturally, it is His Royal Highness the Prince."

"But Her Royal Highness the Emperor is the prince of Meng Liguo, how can His Royal Highness the Prince inherit the throne unjustly?"

The military advisor glanced at Lu Ming, and sighed with emotion: "It's not certain whether Her Royal Highness the Emperor can return to the palace, everyone has been missing for so long, who knows if she lives or dies?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if she can return safely, how can she, a young girl, govern a country well? And His Royal Highness the Prince's ability, everyone has seen it in the past half a month, if he hadn't taken over the government affairs, I'm afraid that the current Meng Liguo would have become a mess of porridge, all of which is enough to prove that His Royal Highness the Prince is worthy of the great responsibility! ”

Lu Ming thoughtfully: "You have a point."
