Chapter Fifty-Seven: Just a Clown

The Qianxu Continent is still calm on the surface, but secretly, the monarchs of various countries may not be able to hold back their hearts that are about to move.

Many days have passed since the news of the death of the Ziling God of War, but Murong Jinglan is still worried, in his eyes, as long as the Ling Wangfu is not eliminated for a day, he will not be able to sit on the throne with peace of mind, he feels that one day, Murong Ling Che's forces will resurrect, and then threaten his rule.

And he only cared about eliminating the people who threatened his throne, but as everyone knows, the Ziling Kingdom has no Murong Lingche, and can only become the prey coveted by other countries. And today's stability, just because the teacher is unknown, if there is a little wind and grass now, I am afraid that war is inevitable.

Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, he sat in the imperial study, his eyebrows were full of majestic imperial breath, and his slender fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, showing his inner instability at the moment.

"Your Majesty, the prince of the water country is waiting outside the imperial study to be summoned." The little eunuch outside respectfully walked in to deliver the news.

"Announce quickly."

Ink Xuan is dressed in a silver-white dress today, embroidered with dark red stripes, which sets off his majestic figure more vigorously, with sculpturally defined facial features, dark and deep eyes that are slightly wild, exuding a unique temperament that belongs to him, and the innate majesty is not inferior to that of Murong Jinglan sitting on the dragon throne.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Murong Jinglan felt this, Shui Moxuan is the prince of the Water Kingdom, even if he has not yet ascended the throne, he already has the temperament of dominating the world, which makes him also shocked, in this world, in addition to Murong Lingche, there are so many people who make him feel this way, hide the unhappiness in his heart, and say with a smile, "The prince, please take a seat." ”

After a slight salute, Shui Mo Xuan sat aside and said indifferently, "I don't know why the emperor summoned this prince here?" ”

"Since the prince is so cheerful, then I will get straight to the point. The crown prince has been living in the Ling Wang's Mansion for a few days, I don't know if there has been any progress? He said lightly, but he didn't forget to look at his expression.

On the surface, he was silent, but his heart was full of disdain, he was so anxious to get rid of Ling Wangfu, I don't know what kind of expression he would have when he found out that his wishful thinking had failed?

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said coldly, "Your Majesty, isn't it in your heart that this prince is obliged to do things for you, and you can't see any of the results that this prince wants to see?" ”

Murong was stunned for a moment, obviously understanding what he meant, and immediately laughed and said, "The prince misunderstood me, I promised you, I will definitely do it." ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and two Royal Guards came in from outside, and a prisoner came in.

The prisoner's hands and feet were bound by iron chains, his clothes were in tatters, the scars on his body were everywhere, and his hair was full of messy.

Shui Mo Xuan frowned, clenched his fists fiercely, the person in front of him could be recognized even if he turned into ashes, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been tortured by Gu poison for so many years, and the physical and spiritual pain was all caused by him.

calmed down the anger in his heart a little, stood up, slowly walked in front of him, ignored his hand waving at him, stared at him with sharp eyes, and said coldly, "Brother Emperor, long time no see." ”

"Shui Mo Xuan, what this prince regrets most is that he didn't kill you with his own hands in the first place." Due to the suppression of the two Royal Forest Soldiers beside him, his hands were unwillingly flying in the air, but to no avail, he couldn't hurt Shui Mo Xuan in the slightest, and the sound of the chains colliding was extremely loud.

Shui Mo Xuan sneered, causing Shui Mo Bai's angry eyes to suddenly calm down, and he looked at him for some reason, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Brother Emperor, no matter how high you used to be and how ruthless and vicious you were, now you are just a defected prince, and even more, a prisoner of this prince." In the last seven words, he deliberately accentuated his tone, and he understood that the best way to deal with the person in front of him, who had always been self-reliant, was to strike hard at what he once valued the most, and trample him under his feet mercilessly.

"Ink Xuan, the position of the crown prince should have belonged to me and belonged to me!" Like crazy, he yelled at him, and despite the suppression, his constantly waving hands forcibly pinched Shui Mo Xuan's neck.

No longer looking at his ugly face, he turned to look at Murong Jinglan, who had been watching from the sidelines, "Thank you to the emperor for catching the traitor of my water country, please give the emperor an order to escort him out and hand him over to the people of this prince." ”

Murong waved his hand in shock, and Shui Mobai was taken down, and the imperial study was quiet again.

"What's the matter, the prince is still satisfied with me?"

"The emperor deserves to be the true dragon emperor, and he is very efficient in doing things, but I don't know where the emperor found the traitor?"

"It's a long story, I sent secret guards to many countries to look for the prince who had defected from your country, and by chance I found him in the border town along the coast of Ziling, thinking that he still covets the monarchy of the water country, so I look at the water country across the sea, recuperate and wait for the opportunity to move."

Shui Mo Xuan nodded slightly, he didn't feel any doubt about his statement, he knew Shui Mo Bai's temperament best, he would not give up the throne so lightly, but this time it fell into his hands, and the new and old accounts were counted together, and he would not spare him.

Murong was shocked to see that he was obviously very satisfied with this transaction, so he continued the topic just now, "Since this matter has come to a successful conclusion, then for the matter of King Ling's Mansion, the prince..."

"What the prince promised before, he will definitely do. It's just that this time, the prince hopes that the emperor will give the prince what he wants first, after all, the last transaction was completed by the prince first. ”

Irony in his heart, in his eyes, Murong Jinglan was just a clown, how could it really be as he wished, it was better to borrow his hand to help find Mu Zhiyu first, and then try to get Murong Lingche to come back and appear, and he would find an excuse to retire.

Murong was shocked, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only endure it for the time being and find Princess Ling first. Ling Wang's Mansion was heavily guarded, thinking that the killers he sent at the beginning would not survive, and Murong Ling Che's secret guards were not fuel-efficient lamps, which was also the best method at present.

In the past two days, Mu Zhiyu has been practicing the disguise technique taught to her by Li Wuxian, and due to her extraordinary talent and hard work, she has achieved results in a short period of time.

And after Li Wuxian learned that she was going to send a letter to King Ling's Mansion to report her safety, because he didn't know whether King Ling's death was true, in order not to make her sad, he volunteered to act as a messenger, planning to go back to King Ling's Mansion to find out the truth first.

After Xuanhong went back to the house early, he lost his temper.

Xuan Ruochen got the news and hurried to the hall and hurriedly asked his father what happened.

"Humph! The emperor ignored the persuasion of loyal ministers, and insisted on letting Mu Qinglin, the concubine of Prime Minister Mu, enter the court as an official, who in the imperial capital does not know, that Mu Qinglin is just a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, and his heart is not right, such a person, entering the court as an official, is really the misfortune of all the people. Xuan Hongqi's face twitched, and his beard was crooked.

Xuan Ruochen didn't understand his father's anger, but now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he has tried his best to exclude dissidents, and his father is extremely upright, if his father has always been against him, I am afraid that the future of Xuanfu will be very worried.

"Dad, we can't control what the emperor wants to do, so you better dissipate your anger." Xuan Ruoji was helpless, so he could only comfort his father like this.

What's even more infuriating is that Mu Qinglin actually went to the emperor one after another, asking the emperor to draft girls all over the country to fill the harem. The emperor is famous for his penchant for beauty, and he does what he likes, only caring about his own promotion and making a fortune, completely ignoring the fact that this will cost the people and money..."

Xuan Hong said and coughed violently while holding his chest, and Xuan Ruochen hurriedly came over to beat his back.

"Trace, it's better for your sister to leave the house less these days, so as not to be remembered by someone with a heart."

Xuan Ruojian nodded, he didn't know his father's concerns, if he was taken by the lustful emperor, I am afraid that Yi Jue'er's temperament would not follow, and she was too simple, and the filthy place in the harem was not suitable for her at all.

Mu Zhiyu has been hiding in the room for the past two days, either practicing disguise techniques, or reading the medical books that Wuxian gave her, and from time to time fiddling with the medicinal materials on the table, Xuan Ruojue has been rejected several times to go to the street with her.

No, this eldest lady has never given up, and came to pester her again, asking her to go out with her, Mu Zhiyu had no choice but to hold her forehead, but she couldn't resist her, so she had to put down the things in her hand and go out with her.

When I passed by the hall, I happened to hear the conversation between Xuanhong and his son.

"Traces, when the first emperor was alive, although Luoxi was not as good as those big countries, but it also had a pivotal position in the Qianxu Continent, and now the new emperor has just ascended the throne, he will build a palace, a big draft girl, such a labor and money, after a long time, the people will inevitably complain, I am afraid that it will give other countries a chance to take advantage of..."

"Dad, hasn't Luo Xi always been attached to the Purple Feather Country? Presumably, other countries will not be unfavorable to Luo Xi. ”

When Mu Zhiyu heard them mention Ziling Kingdom, she unconsciously stopped and listened to a few more words, and signaled Xuan Ruojue beside her not to alarm the people inside, and Xuan Ruojue was the best at this kind of eavesdropping on the corner, smiled playfully, and gave a gesture, indicating that she would cooperate well.

Xuan Hong shook his head, disapproving what he said, "If it was before, it would definitely not be, but now that King Ling has passed away, I'm afraid that the Purple Ling Kingdom itself will not be able to protect..."

Mu Zhiyu felt a bang when he heard this, and froze in place, unable to listen to their next words, only echoing in his mind the words of Xuan Hong just now, King Ling died... No, he'll be fine.

Shaking his head and shouting out, his face was pale, and he almost fell down in a hurry, Xuan Ruojue beside him was also startled when he saw her like this, and hurriedly helped her, "Sister Yu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xuan Hong's father and son obviously also heard the movement outside, and looked at the door suspiciously, only to see Mu Zhiyu break free of Xuan Ruojue's hand holding her, stumble in, and asked Xuan Hong, "Lord Xuan, you just said that King Ling of the Purple Ling Kingdom... Is it true? ”

Her face was pale, and her clear eyes were full of fear at the moment, staring straight at Xuan Hong, hoping that this qiē was not true, she didn't believe it, was what Qianfeng Haoye said true? But Li Wuxian clearly told her that Qianfeng Haoye was just lying to her, yes, they were all lying to her......

Xuan Hong's father and son, plus Xuan Ruojue, all looked at her with confused eyes, not knowing why she was so excited.

Xuan Ruochen seemed to have noticed something, Murong Yu, does it have anything to do with Murong Lingche? But I didn't hear that Murong Ling Che had sisters, so I looked at my father, then at Mu Zhiyu, and said, "Father is right, the news came out from Ziling Kingdom a few days ago that Murong Lingche, the king of Ling, has passed away, and there are no bones..."
