Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 348

Chapter 348 Yao Xing Was Domineering

Big Bright Palace, Immortal Residence Palace.

Imperial Concubine Yin De stood side by side with Princess Gao Yang and the mother and daughter, looking at the railing silently.

Dark clouds billowed in midair, and a strong wind blew through the air, as if a storm had struck. Not far behind them, several maids frowned worriedly, wanting to urge the two of them to enter the palace to escape the storm, but they did not dare to disturb them.

“Boom … rumble!!”

A surging spring thunder finally exploded. Heaven and earth were in a panic, as if the Great Tang Imperial City was trembling.

“Heavenly might, unfathomable.” Princess Gaoyang raised her head and narrowed her eyes, muttering, “Mother, do you think Mubai will escape unscathed this time?”

“You should trust him.” Imperial Concubine Yin De expressionlessly looked at the rolling black clouds above her head, but she couldn’t help but close her hands and softly shut her eyes to say “Amitabha”.

“Mother, I’m not sure. I’m very flustered.” Princess Gaoyang took a deep breath. Although she forced herself to remain calm, she was still unable to conceal the fear and panic in her heart. Over the past few years, Princess Gaoyang had experienced many storms and twists and turns. Although she was young, her mind was unusually mature and stable. Standing next to her mother, she was like a young Consort Yin De. Apart from the extremely close appearance and temperament, there was also a trace of Yong Rong and elegance that belonged exclusively to Concubine Yin De, as well as an aura that endured silence.

But she was still young. Right now, she felt that the danger she and Qin Mubai were facing was like the rumbling heavenly might that would descend when a storm was about to strike, something that no human could resist.

“Ling’er, what are you afraid of?”

“I don’t know … I’m a little confused. Although Mu Bai told me that he had already planned it, I still have a strong premonition in my heart. Facing the might of the heavens, no one can resist. This time, many people will definitely die, many people.”

“Are you afraid of death?”

“I’m not afraid! I haven’t been afraid of death since I jumped off the bridge a few years ago.”

“Then what are you afraid of?”

“Mother, what I’m afraid of is … helplessness, and the unknown. I feel that the most painful thing in this world is not to be separated from life or death, but to watch helplessly as the person I deeply love turns away from me. He is gradually moving away, but I am powerless to do anything about it.”

Imperial Concubine Yin De was stunned for a moment. She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Princess Gaoyang’s hair that had been blown away by the wind. She smiled gently and said, “Ling’er, I’d rather see you look so carefree and innocent and brilliant. Even if you’ve always been a crazy girl without any heart or lungs, you can still do it.”

Princess Gaoyang bit her lips and nodded. Looking into the distance, she said, “Mother, I went to see Li Chunfeng last night and asked him to predict the fate of Mubai. Guess what he said.”

“You believe me?”

“I don’t know. I was just asking, and he was just saying. He also told me not to believe it.” Princess Gao Yang said, “But the more this kind of person is, the more trustworthy he is, isn’t he? Those divine sticks that make people believe everything they know are more liars. Li Chunfeng, he definitely isn’t.”

“Alright, what did Li Chunfeng say?”

“He said … Mubai is a very different person, he must go to extremes. In the future, he would either be rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich and rich; Either that, the notorious Zhang Qingzhuang died young, and Biluo Huangquan didn’t leave an inch of bones. Furthermore, it was said that Zhang Ziwei’s constellation had changed slightly in recent days, with the appearance of the Demon Star beside the Emperor Star, causing trouble for the Imperial Court’s troublesome Father Emperor. And this Demon Star is Mubai. ”

“What?” Imperial Concubine Yin De was shocked, “Demon Star Confusion Emperor Star, doesn’t this mean … the Imperial Court is in chaos because of Qin Mubai?”

Princess Gaoyang tightly pursed her lips and nodded, saying, “Yao Xing, how can you shake Emperor Xing?” Therefore, unless this Demon Star surrendered to Emperor Star, it could instead become an aid to Emperor Star and become the auxiliary Heavenly Pivot Palace, Great Prosperity Emperor Star. However, since then, the fate of the Great Tang had changed, and nothing could be divined. And in this turbulent event, Mubai was either shattered into pieces or unable to survive. Either that, he would soar into the sky and shine in the Star Palace. However, no matter what, he couldn’t escape the disaster of blood light. Unless … ”

“Unless what?” Imperial Concubine Yin De frowned and asked.

“Unless there is a loved one, the purest and most sincere, the most loving of saints, who can help him defend against calamity and resolve calamity.” Princess Gaoyang turned to look at her mother and said word by word, “Mother, may I?”

“Rumble!!!”

With a thunderclap, dark clouds rolled and thunderclaps fell, and heavy rain poured down.

Inside the Wu De Hong Wen Museum, Eldest Sun Wuji sat alone on a large chair at the center of the hall. He looked at the empty seat beside him that should have belonged to Fang Xuan Ling, and his expression was solemn like a knife carving.

There was a pile of memorials on the table, all of which were important matters for the Emperor’s red batch. It was not something he, the Prime Minister, could approve with a blue brush.

In the first book, Fang family’s son-in-law, Fang Yizhi, sent a complaint to the imperial palace, accusing his younger brother, Fang Yiai, of colluding with Han King Li Yuanchang to frame his son-in-law, Qin Mubai. The imperial palace joined forces with Zongzheng Temple, Dali Temple, and more than ten officials from the six divisions of the three provinces to impeach Han King Li Yuanchang and expose his right and wrong to protect Qin Mubai.

The second book, hanwang li yuanchang, qiankun threw down the world-shaking memorial, impeach wei king li tai entangled party members mi tu wrong, when the emperor was seriously ill, gathered people to plot, vain attempt to force donggong mou dynasty usurped the throne. There were also several whistle-blowers who had participated in the Wei King’s private meeting, as well as some witnesses who had witnessed the saber-armor ritual in the Wei King’s Mansion, and so on.

“The Emperor has just fallen ill, and these two beasts can’t suppress him. They actually started to bite him. Neither of them is good!” Changsun Wuji angrily smashed his fist on the table and the teacup leapt up and overflowed with water.

Actually, Changsun Wuji’s heart was like a mirror. Fang Xuanling suddenly fell ill, and the son of the Fang family lodged a lawsuit against his younger brother Fang Yiai. If it wasn’t for the fact that the evidence was conclusive in order to protect the family, why would he do this? According to this analysis, ninety percent of the first report was true. In other words, Qin Mubai was harmed by Han King Li Yuanchang. Thinking back to Qin Mubai’s “earth-shattering” actions a few days ago, Li Yuanchang alone would definitely not be able to do such a vicious scheme and such a heaven-reaching hand-eye. Needless to say, the Eastern Palace Crown Prince must have colluded with his accomplices and at least helped.

On the other hand, Li Yuanchang and Li Tai were accused of rebellion. Judging from his actions and intentions, there was also the Eastern Palace Crown Prince hiding behind him. Because if hanwang lost, the crown prince will die. Li Yuanchang had personally reported to Qin Mubai, but unexpectedly, he had caused a huge commotion and endangered the Eastern Palace. Thus, the two of them had no choice but to burn their boats and attempt to take advantage of the fact that the Emperor was seriously ill and lost control of the Imperial Court to bring down King Wei and stabilize the Eastern Palace in one fell swoop, grasping the authority to draw protective talismans for themselves.

“What a childish and stupid Li Yuanchang. Aren’t you pulling the Crown Prince’s moth into the fire?” Changsun Wuji looked at the memorial in his hand and smiled bitterly.

He smiled bitterly with a hint of resentment and a hint of sadness. After all, Crown Prince Li Chengqian was also his nephew. Like Li Tai, he was born to his younger sister.

“Someone, invite Chu Suiliang over.” After pondering for a while, Changsun Wuji put down the memorial and said.

The emperor and Fang Xuanling fell ill together and shared a room. No one was allowed to disappear from the room. Even King Wei, Li Tai, could only stand outside the door. Only Chu Suiliang, who was the emperor’s personal attendant, could enter and exit the room.

Li Tai watched as Chu Suiliang was invited to leave by someone from Hongwen Library. He was filled with suspicion and apprehension. He really wanted to inquire about the emperor’s illness, but he didn’t dare to make any mistakes. He could only watch as he left.

At this moment, the civil and military officials waiting for class in the east and west court, or shouting or secretly discussing, were discussing the matter of Hanwang, Qin Mubai, and who would be the supervisor of the country.

The moment the Emperor fell ill, the Imperial Court lost its backbone. Everyone knew that King Wei and Donggong had already started fighting. At this time, they were all looking forward to the Emperor’s words to calm down the situation. As long as it was clear who would be in charge of the country, the other party would be sentenced to death in disguise.

But now, the heavens and earth were raining heavily. The civil and military officials had been waiting in the Eastern and Western Imperial Halls for more than an hour. Not to mention the Emperor, even the Prime Minister, the Crown Prince, the Wei King, and the Li Clan’s royal relatives did not show up. Leaving behind a group of sixteen guard generals and the court officials of the six divisions of the three provinces, he continued to speculate.

Everyone suspected, “The Emperor’s condition is unknown, but it seems that today’s court meeting will not be held …”

As a result, many major events could only be suppressed one more time. It was unknown to what extent the Prince of Wei and the Crown Prince would fight, who would die and who would die. Once the outcome was shared, the officials in the Imperial Court would not know how many clans had flourished or declined.

The officials of the Imperial Court were all apprehensive.

On the contrary, Qin Mubai had nothing to worry about in Baiji’s camp. He was already in prison, so what else could he worry about? Everything, just wait for the verdict.

When Chu Suiliang arrived in Hongwen Library, Changsun Wuji showed him the memorial and said, “Chu Suiliang, you are the only one serving in front of His Majesty’s couch. I, Eldest Sun Wuji, would never dare to make a decision on such a big matter. Now that you’ve seen the memorial, please go back. If Your Majesty is awake, report it to me. If His Majesty is not awake, you can wait for His Majesty to wake up before reporting. “In short, this matter will be left to His Majesty’s District.”

After Chu Suiliang heard this, he cupped his hands and smiled. However, his smile was somewhat mysterious. He whispered, “His Majesty once woke up for a moment and left an order saying, ‘Let Eldest Sun Wuji assist the Imperial Prince and participate in the affairs of the country.'”

“Ah!!!” Changsun Wuji was immediately shocked. He stared at Chu Suiliang with a dumbfounded expression. Cold sweat dripped down his spine as he took a deep breath and said, “Then … which prince is supervising the country?”

“Your Majesty didn’t say anything.” Chu Suiliang still smiled and shook his head. “In short, regardless of which prince, His Majesty will appoint an uncle to assist him. The country cannot be without a monarch for a day. The overall situation is of utmost importance. Since His Majesty has issued a decree, please follow suit.”

“Yes, this lowly subject obeys the decree” Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and bowed, and Chu Suiliang floated away.

Looking at Chu Suiliang’s back, Eldest Sun Wuji’s body trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a lot of panic. Among them, there was actually an undetectable surprise!

“Your Majesty, this is forcing me to declare my stance! … Alright, alright, if you want me to die, I have no choice but to die, let alone just show my stance!-Someone, someone!” Changsun Wuji lost his manners and shouted loudly in the Hongwen Pavilion, “Ring the morning bell of Taiji Palace and ascend to court!”

Dong-dong!

Amidst the heavy rain and thunderous lightning, the morning bell in the drum tower of the Taiji Palace in the Great Tang Imperial City rang loudly!

Donggong was shocked. Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Han King Li Yuanchang exchanged glances, their eyes filled with hesitation and surprise. They said in unison, “This is the bell of the previous dynasty! Could it be that Emperor Kang Yu has recovered?”

“No! I went to see Chu Suiliang this morning. He said that neither the Emperor nor Fang Xuanling had awakened.” Li Yuanchang knitted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “I lobbied him for a long time, and he finally agreed to secretly lend a hand to the Crown Prince. At this moment, the bell of Taiji Palace rang. Could it be that the emperor sent a decree from the sickbed ordering you to supervise the country?”

“Then … what if I let the Fourth Supervisory Nation?” Li Chengqian’s face was slightly pale and his lips trembled slightly.

Li Yuanchang gritted his teeth and said, “If fourth elder succeeds, it means that his impeachment lawsuit against me will be heard, and I will be finished immediately! Thus, you will be finished as well! Therefore, this round of court will be either lucky or fierce, and we must prepare for the best and worst!”

‘”Alright, alright” Li Chengqian took a deep breath and nodded helplessly. “I’ll go to the court. You hurry up and plan. If anything happens, you …”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already prepared it! The Eastern Palace is just a wall away from Taiji Palace! If the situation at the court meeting is unfavorable … I will be the one in charge of everything!”

The loud sound of the bell rang out in the Immortal Palace Hall. Princess Gaoyang’s body trembled slightly and she suddenly stood up, “The court? Could it be that Father Emperor Kang has recovered?”

“I don’t know.” Imperial Concubine Yin De remained calm and said, “Right now, no one is allowed to visit his bedroom. Only Chu Suiliang and a few other confidential people know about his illness. Even King Wei cannot see him.”

“No matter what, the Hundred Officials Court … will decide on the matter of Mubai!” Under Princess Gaoyang’s desperation, she ran to the Buddha image that Princess Yin De usually knelt before and clasped her hands together and said, “Buddha, Buddha, save Mubai!” As long as he is safe and sound, I would like to transform into a stone bridge, five hundred years of wind and five hundred years of sunshine; Or into grass, into spiders, into dew, in front of the Buddha listen to three thousand years of scripture! If he really has a calamity that he can’t resolve, please let me help him endure it! I once swore that Ling’er would not die, and Mubai would not die! Please, Buddha, don’t let Ling’er die before Mubai! ”

Imperial Concubine Yin De turned her head and looked at her daughter who did not choose her words. She smiled miserably, and the corner of her mouth slightly rippled. She said softly, “Silly child …”

Rolling thunder, thunderclaps, and torrential rain.

Qin Mubai looked at the gloomy rain through the window and listened to the distant Hong Zhuang’s Imperial City Morning Bell. His brows furrowed slightly as he said to himself, “It’s time to go to court … Today, let’s see who will die, who will die, who will prosper, who will decline … There is a will of heaven!”

“Pfff! Pfff!” The sound of a series of neat steps stepping on the rain came from far to near. Qin Mubai looked sideways and saw a group of Baiji Lotus Armored Soldiers running to his cabin. The first commander was his eldest brother, Qin Tong.

“Let’s go, Mubai.” Qin Tong, who was drenched in rain, opened the door expressionlessly.

“Where are you going?” Qin Mubai put on a cloak and said.

“I don’t know either.” After Qin Tong finished saying those five words, he stretched out his wet hand and placed it in front of Qin Mubai. “Either it soars into the sky, or it falls into hell forever. Big brother, accompany you. The Qin Clan will rise and fall with you.”

Qin Mubai stretched out his hand and held Qin Tong’s hand. The corner of his mouth curled up as he smiled, “A good person doesn’t live long. A calamity has lasted for a thousand years. A great divine staff once said that I am a monster who does no good to the country and the people. Even my luck can be reversed. I’m sure I won’t die so easily.”

“That’s good!” Qin Tong grinned and grasped Qin Mubai’s hand to the bone, almost shouting, “Yesterday, I ordered dozens of top-grade mahogany coffins.” If anything happens to you today, dozens of our Old Qin Clan’s marital relatives will be buried with you! –A monster who has twisted the heavens’ luck. Who wouldn’t be domineering if you weren’t domineering? Your second brother is usually sullen and doesn’t spit out a word, and he can’t smash a fart with three fists. “But yesterday, he pounded the table and told me that he should use dozens of cavities of blood from the Qin Clan to help you with this domineering aura!”
