Chapter 296 Xiao Jinrui's Ambition
In this way, there will no longer be this harmful thing in the world. He has already suffered greatly from it, so naturally he will not continue to cause harm to people.
"It's better to die, it's better to die! Haha..."
Seeing Emperor Shunqing like this, Eunuch An was immediately worried. He looked at Emperor Shunqing and said to comfort him: "Your Majesty, you have just recovered from a serious illness. You must take care of your health!"
"Don't worry, I still have so many things to do, so naturally I cherish my life. Long Yi, please continue to tell me, what plans did my good sons have during the time I was unconscious?"
Although he did all this on purpose, he also hoped to hear that the children could be brothers and sisters and live in harmony, so that when he was a hundred years old, he would not see the phenomenon of killing each other.
But looking at Long Yi's expression, he was afraid he would be disappointed!
Thinking of what Emperor Shunqing had ordered, Long Yi naturally did not dare to hide anything and hurriedly told him everything that had happened during this period.
Hearing that except for Xiao Jingchuan who was sent as an envoy to Nanmo Kingdom and Xiao Jinrui who stayed in Kyoto, the rest of the princes were either dead or injured, Emperor Shunqing's eyes flashed with regret, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
The fight for the throne was inherently bloody. He had been sitting in this position for so long, yet he still dreamed of being able to live in harmony with his brothers. It was simply wishful thinking. However, he had not expected that his son, who was usually the most gentle and polite, was actually the most hypocritical person, who did not even let his own brothers go!
Seeing the gloomy face of Emperor Shunqing, Long Yi paused for a long time before looking at Emperor Shunqing and saying:
"In addition to these, Concubine Yuan also secretly poisoned Your Majesty. Fortunately, the dosage was very small and did not cause any harm! These are the evidence I have found. Please review them, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Shunqing looked at the medicine powder in Long Yi's hand, his eyes full of murderous intent. He had never thought that the person who would take his life would be the one beside him. Although all this was within his expectations, he was still very angry when he heard the news.
Since she was so determined to kill him, how could he let her go so easily? He didn't have much time left, so he had to clear out the threats around him while he was still alive.
Seeing Eunuch An's worried look, Emperor Shunqing couldn't help but cough lightly, then looked at Eunuch An and ordered: "It's time, go and call Jiang Zhongming, Yan Haoming, Xie Yunfeng and others, I have something to tell them to do."
Seeing the weak look of Emperor Shunqing, Eunuch An quickly responded, "Yes, I will send someone to notify them to come over."
Long Yi watched Eunuch An leave, and then watched Emperor Shunqing fall asleep, then he silently guarded him by the side, not daring to slack off even a little.
When several people came over, Emperor Shunqing slowly opened his eyes. Seeing this, Eunuch An hurried forward to Emperor Shunqing and helped him sit up.
Although Emperor Shunqing has woken up, given his current condition, he is likely unable to take charge of government affairs. The emperor summoned them to the palace for an audience, and he must have already made plans. The few people did not dare to speculate and hurriedly bowed:
"We have met the Emperor. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"Everyone loves you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Shunqing raised his eyes and slowly looked at the few people. Seeing that they were fidgeting, he then told them the reason for the summons.
"I summoned you here this time because I have something to entrust to you!"
"Wei Chen is terrified!"
"This matter concerns the fate of the Dongli Kingdom. You gentlemen are all loyal ministers of our Dongli Kingdom, so naturally you are the ones who must be in charge!"
When they left, they were in a very heavy mood, but they also knew that this was the emperor Shunqing's trust in them, so they naturally did not dare to slack off. However, they did not expect that the emperor Shunqing would actually agree to the suggestion of the Nanmo Kingdom. Although this move was a bit risky, if it could succeed, it would naturally bring about huge changes to the Dongli Kingdom. Even unifying the world would not be a problem.
In the following days, Emperor Shunqing issued an edict, handing over the affairs of the court to Xiao Jingchuan and Xiao Jinrui to handle together, waiting for the arrival of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Nanmo Kingdom.
Although Xiao Jinrui was very confused and didn't understand what the issue of appointing a crown prince had to do with the Nanmo Kingdom, for the sake of the overall situation, he still didn't dare to act rashly and could only contact Bei Yize privately. He only recently learned that the person who saved his life was actually the prince of the Beilin Kingdom. Since there was such a relationship, he naturally would not let it go.
You know, during the days when Emperor Shunqing was in a coma, he was naturally unwilling to be mediocre, and secretly did many things that were detrimental to Emperor Shunqing. Although he did not succeed, and Emperor Shunqing did not punish him after he woke up, the wrong things he had done were always like a mountain, weighing deeply on his heart, making him breathless, and he had to make plans for himself.
When he learned from Bei Yize that the eldest princess of Nanmo Kingdom came to Dongli Kingdom on behalf of Nanmo Kingdom, Xiao Jinrui immediately felt that something was wrong. After all, how could a little princess represent the position of Nanmo Kingdom? He wondered if there was some unspeakable secret here?
Seeing Xiao Jinrui's vigilant expression, Bei Yize couldn't help but say, "I heard that whoever marries the princess of Nanmo Kingdom will receive support from the entire nation. If His Royal Highness Prince Rui marries the princess of Nanmo Kingdom, there's no need to worry about not being able to unify the world!"
Having said that, Bei Yize paused. Listening to the subtle noise outside the door, a hint of mockery flashed in Bei Yize's eyes. He then looked at Xiao Jinranrui and shook his head helplessly:
"What a pity! I'm afraid His Royal Highness Prince Rui will have no chance of succeeding in this matter. After all, Nangong Mo would never let his only princess be his concubine. If Prince Rui hadn't married yet, he could have competed with Xiao Jingchuan for supremacy, but now it's difficult!"
Listening to Bei Yize's words, Xiao Jinrui couldn't help but feel restless in his heart. He was determined to get the princess of Nanmo Country. However, Bei Yize's words were not without reason. After all, he was indeed inferior to Xiao Jingchuan on this issue.
If it were in the past, he could have dealt with Jiang Wanrong without hesitation, but not now. Jiang Wanrong finally got pregnant, and he really couldn't bear to give up the child. After all, the price he paid for this child was too high.
Bei Yize didn't know Xiao Jinrui's concerns, and still spared no effort to persuade Xiao Jinrui that he must win the favor of the Princess of Nanmo Kingdom. However, he was not without selfish motives. If Nanmo Kingdom and Dongli Kingdom joined forces, then his Beilin Kingdom would be in danger.
