141. Starry City Night(2/3)
"If something really happens, she should be back." Tuoba Ling said with a faint expression, "Others can't cause any storm."
If it weren't for Tuoba's kindness, the princes and princes such as Tuoba Jun and Tuoba Ling would have been completely eliminated by Yu Wenying.
Tuoba Ling grew up in the Royal Family of Beimo Kingdom and knew very well about the people of the Royal Family of Beimo Kingdom and their relationship with each other. In fact, Tuoba Jun is more suitable to be the heir to the throne than Tuoba Liang in terms of mind and strength. Tuoba Liang himself does not want to be the crown prince. He has asked Yu Wenying to give the position of crown prince to Tuoba Jun more than once.
Unfortunately, Tuoba Jun is not Yu Wenying's biological child, so Tuoba Liang did not want to be the crown prince but had to be the crown prince. Tuoba Jun wanted to be the crown prince but had no chance. Such conflicts had accumulated for too long, and the final result was that Tuoba Jun took action against Tuoba Liang because he was still unwilling to give up.
Putting aside the incident of Tuoba Jun harming Tuoba Liang and Tuoba Yan, objectively speaking, Tuoba Jun is the most suitable candidate for the throne in the hearts of many officials in the Beimo Kingdom. Therefore, although Tuoba Jun's throne was not right, he was still quite steadily. After he became the emperor, he did not make any mistakes.
"What can Yuwenying do when she goes back by herself?" Mu Yan thought, "She should think that Madam Fang has been killed by us. She no longer attacked us. She seemed to give up taking Xiaoyan back. Tuoba Liang's life and death are uncertain now, and it is impossible for her to be in her hands. Yuwenying was originally the empress dowager, and her position as the empress dowager has no conflict with Tuoba Jun's throne. She can exist at the same time. She can't kill Tuoba Jun and become the queen herself, right? No ministers of Beimo Kingdom will agree."
Tuoba Ling was also silent because she couldn't think of what Yu Wenying was going to do for a moment.
Mu Yan's heart suddenly moved and she spoke, "What if Yu Wenying really brought Tuoba Liang and Tuoba Yan back?"
Tuoba Ling frowned: "This..."
"If she found two fakes, pretending to be Tuoba Liang and Tuoba Yan, as long as she could cheat and protect herself, she could justify asking Tuoba Jun to abdicate and get a lot of support." Mu Yan said inexplicably.
Tuoba Ling looked cold: "If she did this, wouldn't she ignore Xiao Yan's safety?"
Yu Wenying believed that Xiao Xinghan and his wife took Tuoba Yan in order to seek the imperial power of the Beimo Kingdom. Now, Yu Wenying knew that the real Tuoba Yan was by Xiao Xinghan and his wife, but he found a fake. If Xiao Xinghan really wanted to use Tuoba Yan, there was no doubt that Yu Wenying would definitely bite her to death and said that Xiao Xinghan's adopted son was not her grandson. Once she did that, she would not plan to take Tuoba Yan's life!
Of course, Xiao Xinghan never thought about using Tuoba Yan, so such a thing would never happen, but this cannot be denied that Yu Wenying's cold-blooded attitude towards Tuoba Yan! Because Yu Wenying's idea is that!
"So, if the current incident in Fanxing City is really because of Yu Wenying, do you hope Yu Wenying will succeed or fail?" Mu Yan looked at Tuoba Ling and asked.
Tuoba Ling said coldly: "I hope she will lose!" Tuoba Ling, who is in the royal family of Beimo Kingdom, actually knew very well that things would develop to this point today, which was caused by Yu Wenying. To a certain extent, Tuoba Liang's murder was inseparable from Yu Wenying!
"Just pretend you don't know. It's useless to go back now." Mu Yan looked at Tuoba Ling and said, "When tomorrow morning, the winner may be decided."
Tuoba Ling nodded slightly: "I only care whether Xiao Yan is good or not. I don't care how they fight."
Starry City of Beimo Country.
Fanxing City is located in the largest oasis in the Beimo Kingdom. It is named Fanxing City because you can see the most beautiful and brightest stars here.
The Star City under the night is quiet and peaceful. In the palace in the center of the Star City, it is brightly lit all year round. The outer wall made of jade emits a beautiful and gentle light under the light. This is the most beautiful night view of the Star City.
At this time, the imperial palace in Fanxing City was far less peaceful than it seemed outside.
Officials from Beimo Kingdom were "invited" to the palace at midnight, and now they were all standing there with their heads down like morning court.
On the high dragon chaise in front, the expressionless emperor Tuoba Jun was sitting. Not far from Tuoba Jun, there was a position not much lower than the dragon chaise. Yu Wenying sat there wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe with a heavy expression.
"If the mother can return safely, my son will be relieved." Tuoba Jun looked at Yu Wenying and said, "My mother asked me to find all the officials. Now everyone is here. Whatever the mother wants to say, just say it."
Yu Wenying looked at Tuoba Jun coldly, then suddenly stood up from the throne, glanced around coldly and said, "Have you ever forgotten that my son is the legitimate heir of the throne!"
Tuoba Jun's eyes were slightly dark: "Mother, the emperor's brother is gone."
"Tuoba Jun! What if your emperor brother is still here?" Yu Wenying looked at Tuoba Jun and asked coldly.
"Mother, the emperor's brother is really gone!" Tuoba Jun said in a low voice.
"Answer the question from this palace!" Yu Wenying looked at Tuoba Jun and said sternly, "What if Liang'er is still alive? Should you give him the throne back to him on his own initiative? Because this does not belong to you!"
Tuoba Jun was silent, and all the officials were even more trembling, and they didn't dare to show their vigor. They felt that the sky of the Northern Desert Kingdom might have changed again...
Yu Wenying sneered: "What? Are you scared? You all give me some advice! My sons and grandsons are not dead! You should make a choice now, should you continue to recognize Tuoba Jun, a traitor, as the emperor? If you insist on supporting Tuoba Jun, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Empress Dowager!" An old minister knelt down with a thud, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive, please invite him back! This throne belongs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Soon, several other ministers who were originally Yu Wenying's confidant knelt down to express their loyalty, while others were still watching. After all, the fact that Tuoba Liang and Tuoba Yan were still alive was just a side word of Yu Wenying.
"Since my mother said that the emperor's brother is still alive, please come out." Tuoba Jun said coldly.
Tuoba Jun did not get rid of Yu Wenying together at the beginning, but in fact, it was to get the immortal flower in Yu Wenying's hands. The legendary immortal flower was already extinct, but there was actually another one in Yu Wenying's hands. Yu Wenying pretended to be crazy and stupid. Tuoba Jun never knew where the immortal flower was from her, and later he was escaped by Yu Wenying.
This evening, when he saw Yu Wenying again, Tuoba Jun was actually very passive because when he saw Yu Wenying, he was poisoned by Du Wu beside Yu Wenying. Tuoba Jun did not think that Yu Wenying would give him an antidote, but he did not dare to act rashly now, so he could only find a way to survive and find someone to detoxify him.
There is a reason why Yu Wenying did not kill Tuoba Jun directly. The imperial seal, which symbolizes supreme power in the Beimo Kingdom, is called the Eagle Seal. It is only legitimate for the emperors to hold the Eagle Seal. Before Yu Wenying escaped, Tuoba Jun hid the Eagle Seal, in order to prevent Yu Wenying from killing him back.
As for Yu Wenying's constant saying that Tuoba Liang and Tuoba Yan are still alive, Tuoba Jun did not believe so much. Even Tuoba Jun did not find Tuoba Liang and Tuoba Yan's bodies at the beginning, and the bodies buried in the imperial tomb were indeed fake.
"Brother of the Emperor."
A voice that was not unfamiliar sounded not far away. Tuoba Jun turned around in disbelief and saw "Tuoba Liang" appearing there, holding a little boy in his hand, which was "Tuoba Yan"!
"It's really His Royal Highness!"
"That's the crown prince!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed not dead!"
...
All officials were shocked, and there was a moment of riot. Tuoba Jun's expression was gloomy and clear. When he saw the two familiar faces of "Tuoba Liang" and "Tuoba Yan", what surged in Tuoba Jun's heart was not murderous, but fear. Because in the past year, Tuoba Jun often had nightmares. The emperor's brother Tuoba Liang, who had been very kind to him since childhood, had a bloody face. He asked him over and over again why he was so cruel...
"Now, what else do you have to say?" Yu Wenying glanced around coldly.
Tuoba Jun's face was extremely ugly and he sat silently on the dragon throne. The officials of Beimo Kingdom successively lowered their heads and knelt down one after another, expressing their attitude. From a legitimate point of view, Tuoba Liang is the chief of the official palace and is the crown prince. Since "Tuoba Liang" has returned, the throne should indeed be his.
"Tuoba Jun! Do you still have the face to sit in that position?" Yu Wenying looked at Tuoba Jun and said coldly, "Submit the eagle seal immediately, I can spare you!"
Tuoba Jun ignored Yu Wenying's shouting and looked straight at "Tuoba Liang": "Brother, you never want this throne. You also said that when your mother passed away, you can no longer care about us, so you will give the throne to me. Why, has the throne changed now?
"Tuoba Jun! How did Liang'er treat you? Ask yourself! You plotted to murder Liang'er before, but now you dare to say such things to Liang'er? It's extremely shameless!" Yu Wenying looked at Tuoba Jun and said sternly.
"Mother, is the son-in-law talking to the emperor's brother? Why don't the mother dare to let the emperor's brother answer the son-in-law? Could it be..." A dark light flashed in Tuoba Jun's eyes. There was indeed no flaw in the appearance of "Tuoba Liang", but his eyes were wrong. Tuoba Jun was frightened by his appearance at first, but he suddenly felt something was wrong. He and Tuoba Liang grew up together since childhood. He knew Tuoba Liang's character very well. Even if Tuoba Liang hated him, he would never have such a dodging look!
"Stop!" Yu Wenying looked at Tuoba Jun with his eyes as if he was about to eat people, "Give the Eagle Seal immediately!"
"Anyway, my mother will not let Erchen go, so let Yingxi sleep under the ground with Erchen." Tuoba Jun sneered. He didn't believe that he would lose like this. The father and son must be fake, but he does not intend to expose Yu Wenying now, because once Yu Wenying is forced to force Yu Wenying, Yu Wenying will probably no longer care about Yingxi and kill him directly!
Just when the officials were kneeling on the ground in fear and wondering where the incident was going, two sharp arrows broke through the air and shot straight through the chests of "Tuoba Liang" and "Tuoba Yan" before everyone could react!
From the sudden outbreak of the mutation to the blood splattering on the spot, but in an instant! Yu Wenying rushed towards "Tuoba Liang" and "Tuoba Yan" like crazy, while Tuoba Jun sat there with a stiff expression. He felt that at that moment, his heart was in his throat!
"Ah!" Yu Wenying turned his back to everyone, his eyes were red, and he looked at the two corpses, one big and one small on the ground. He suddenly turned around and pointed at Tuoba Jun with trembling arms, "It's you! It's you who killed them! I want you to die! I want you to die! Come on! Kill him for me!"
The imperial guards of the Beimo Kingdom Palace had already surrounded the palace, but the current emperor is still Tuoba Jun and the empress dowager Yu Wen Ying could not order them, so they all stood outside the hall and would not come in unless Tuoba Jun ordered.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Tuoba Jun's mind! The fake Yu Wenying found himself was dead now, and Yu Wenying definitely dared not admit that the dead "Tuoba Liang" and "Tuoba Yan" were fake, otherwise she would fall into a more passive situation!
Since that's the case, Tuoba Jun decided to take the trick, and he now decided that the two people who died not far away were his brother and nephew! In this way, he no longer had to worry about the real Tuoba Liang and Tuoba Yan returning to Fanxing City to compete with him for the throne, because the fake was brought back by Yu Wenying himself, that was true, and really, he had just died!
"My mother, please feel sorry for me." Tuoba Jun stood up slowly from the dragon chaise, and his eyes suddenly became cold and stern. The one who took action must not be Yu Wenying's people, and Yu Wenying's people have not appeared yet, which shows that something has happened. Since this is the case, he doesn't need to be afraid of anything!
"Tuoba Jun!" Yu Wenying looked at Tuoba Jun with a stern expression, almost crazy!
"Come here! Take your mother down to rest!" A cold light flashed in Tuoba Jun's eyes.
A group of imperial guards rushed in outside the hall, holding weapons, and rushed towards Yu Wenying.
Yu Wenying clenched his fists and roared angrily: "I am the Empress Dowager! Who dares to move?"
Just when an imperial guard was about to meet Yu Wenying, a black shadow suddenly rushed in at an extremely fast speed, holding a sharp sword, killed the imperial guards close to Yu Wenying, picked up Yu Wenying and left!
"Catch it!" Tuoba Jun said sternly.
But the person who came was a top master. The imperial guards of Beimo Kingdom could not stop him. Tuoba Jun watched Yu Wenying be taken away.
The hall returned to silence again, and all the officials hid in a corner with horror. From their perspective, they could see the tragic deaths of "Tuoba Liang" and "Tuoba Yan"...
"I am deeply saddened by the thief. All my beloveds will retreat!" Tuoba Jun said with a heavy expression. He had deliberately found fake corpses to disguise them in order to make people believe that Tuoba Liang and Tuoba Yan were really dead. Now that so many things have happened, Tuoba Jun no longer cares about his reputation, because he is now holding the eagle seal, and he is the supreme king of the Beimo Kingdom. The so-called success and defeat of the Beimo Kingdom will be written by him!
The officials of Beimo Kingdom dared not speak nonsense at this moment. After bowing, they all left one after another.
In the end, in the empty hall, only Tuoba Jun was left, and two corpses not far away. He lowered his head and murmured: "Brother, if you are really alive, don't come back..."
A black shadow came, and Tuoba Jun was shocked. When the visitor took off the mask on his face, his heart was slightly relieved. The visitor was Shen Youruo's stepfather, Shen Yunzhi's father, and Yuan Heng, the owner of Keats Villa. Tuoba Jun had already understood everything when he saw the bow and arrow on Yuan Heng's back. The one who shot "Tuoba Liang" and "Tuoba Yan" before was Yuan Heng.
"Thank you, the original owner of the manor, for taking action in time. I was poisoned. I would like to ask the original owner of the manor to help detoxify." Tuoba Jun looked at Yuan Heng and said.
Yuan Heng nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, please be polite."
Yuan Heng took Tuoba Jun's pulse and frowned: "I'm afraid I can't get rid of the poison in the emperor."
"Why?" Tuoba Jun's expression changed slightly. People in the world thought that Yuan Heng was just a son-in-law who married into Keats Villa. It was only after Shen Youruo got married that he was the owner of Keats Villa. However, Tuoba Jun knew that Yuan Heng had extraordinary medical skills and had always been hiding deeply, and outsiders didn't know it.
"The emperor's poison must be solved with a thousand-year ice lotus, but there is no one in Keats Villa." Yuan Heng looked at Tuoba Jun and said.
Tuoba Jun frowned fiercely: "Ten Nian Ice Lotus? It appeared before!"
"That's right." Yuan Heng nodded slightly, "Last year's auction conference in Wushuang City, the Murong family had a thousand-year-old ice lotus, and it is said that it was given to Xiao Xinghan by Young Master Murong as a thank-you gift."
"Xiao Xinghan? Xiao Xinghan is here to see him off. I will arrive in Fanxing City tomorrow!" Tuoba Jun's expression was happy, and his face soon became darker, "But he would definitely not bring something like Wannian Ice Lotus. Even if he brought it, he might not be willing to give it to me!"
"Emperor, Yuan can use other methods to suppress the poison in the emperor's body so that the poison will not occur for the time being." Yuan Heng looked at Tuoba Jun and said.
"How long can it be suppressed?" Tuoba Jun asked anxiously.
"At most three months." Yuan Heng pondered for a moment and spoke.
"Okay!" Tuoba Jun said coldly, "Then please ask the original owner of the manor to take action!"
But on the other side, the person who rescued Yu Wenying was Jin Liancheng, and Yu Wenying was taken to a very secret place in Fanxing City by Jin Liancheng and stopped. She turned around, raised her hand, and hit Jin Liancheng.
Jin entered the city and grabbed Yu Wenying's wrist and suddenly exerted force. He let go when Yu Wenying's wrist was almost pinched off by him.
"What are you doing? Why don't you help me?" Yu Wenying looked at Jin Liancheng and Du Wu who appeared behind Jin Liancheng like a ghost, and said frantically.
"A Ying, there are masters in the palace tonight. We are trapped by the formation and can only help you get there." Du Wu said in a low voice.
To be continued...
