Chapter 509 Determination (2)
Empress Dowager Yide was furious and said in front of all the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital that if the emperor died, all the women in the harem would be buried with him. This is the cruelty of the royal family. The rich and mediocre food and food that these women might have lived during their lifetime were envious, but in fact, they were just something that the emperor was affiliated with. If the emperor died, their lives would not be necessary to live.
Empress Dowager Yide said in front of the imperial physician, but even so, the women in the palace still realized something. They did not enter the palace on the first day, and the previous dynasty did not have the rules of burying the concubines with them. When the emperor fell so suddenly, the harem immediately filled with a fear atmosphere. Everyone was worried. It was almost the first time that they prayed together that the emperor would be healthy as soon as possible.
Among these panicked palace servants, there were two people who were unusual. One was Mu Xirou, and Mu Xirou was naturally a cold beauty. She was indifferent to anything on weekdays, and even the emperor's favor could not make her look better. The other was Dong Ying'er. After Dong Ying'er entered the palace, she was gentle and steady, and was a little too mature. It was understandable that these two people were not as panicked as others.
But how long can the peace now be concealed? Everyone knows that the storm is about to come and the wind fills the building.
At this time, in Nanyuan, Xuan Pei was sitting at the table, practicing calligraphy with strokes and strokes. Even at this time, he still had the heart to practice calligraphy. If others saw it, they would definitely be very surprised. But it was not surprising. From the words, Xuan Pei's calligraphy was written very steadily. Obviously, he was not affected by the emperor's fall. He was as calm as ever, as if he had expected this to happen.
"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince is now ready to move." Mingyue said: "This matter is a trap set by him. Now that the beginning of the game, he will inevitably start the offensive. How can your Highness solve it?"
The emperor's poison was caused by Xuan Li, which was almost unquestionable. Xuan Pei knew it very well. With the understanding of this brother in his previous life, he could say that he understood Xuan Li more than the emperor. This gentle and indifferent brother was so cruel that Yun Tanfeng gently used this trick to kill his father. The emperor fell off guard, but the poison was caused by a long time ago.
Xuan Li thought that he had mastered the initiative in this way. When the emperor had not yet clearly established the crown prince, he would win in chaos. Perhaps this was Xuan Li's tactic, but for Xuan Pei, letting things go naturally, it was his tactic. Xuan Li was cruel and Xuan Pei was not soft-hearted. For example, in this life, he just watched the emperor being poisoned by Xuan Li to this point.
Mingyue has been with Xuan Pei for so long and was originally from the Jinyiwei, so he could naturally guess some things in his heart. It is true that Xuan Li's sudden move was controlled by him, and perhaps he seemed to have the upper hand. But Mingyue knew that it was not actually.
The handsome young man in front of him might have had a good understanding of Xuan Li's intentions a long time ago. Although this looked a bit incredible and he didn't know why, Mingyue knew that Xuan Pei had been working on dealing with Xuan Li for a long time. When everyone was not optimistic about it, he thought he was just a dispensable waste prince. But it was this waste prince who made a good move. When Xuan Li poisoned the emperor, Xuan Pei had known it for a long time, but he said nothing and did nothing, as if he didn't know about this matter at all, and did not make any stop.
Respond to changes with the unchanging situation, killing people with a knife, confusing the other party, Xuan Pei did everything he could. Every person who fought for the throne had to step on the blood of the previous emperor, and blood relatives and flesh were not important. If Xuan Pei wanted to compete with Xuan Li for that position, he must first bring down the current emperor.
Xuan Li took action, and Xuan Pei was nothing wrong. This also achieved his goal through Xuan Li's hand. More importantly, Xuan Li thought that Xuan Pei knew nothing - a person who knew about this would definitely not be helpless. But Xuan Li's mistaken expect was that Xuan Pei knew and did everything.
For an adult, it seems nothing to be able to do this, such as a person like Xuan Li who is very ambitious and good at hiding. But Xuan Pei is now just a young man who has not yet reached the peak. A young man who can have such indifferent and decisive means, with the calmness and vision of an emperor, is definitely not a thing in the pool. Since the emperor learned about Xuan Pei's talent, he has been treating him well. A person who suddenly receives his father's care will cherish this feeling very much.
But Xuan Pei did not. He watched the emperor's death step by step without showing any movement. The most ruthless imperial family was the ruthless emperor's family, but this calmness and indifference made Mingyue secretly shocked. What this young man revealed was that he was more suitable to be a king of a country than Xuan Li.
What Mingyue didn't know was that Xuan Pei was not born so decisive. After the previous life, Xuan Pei saw the feelings of the imperial family very clearly. The reason why the emperor valued him was nothing more than what he showed now. If there were no such things, he would still be a useless prince. As for Jiang Ruan in his previous life, he would not have any reason for this. In Xuan Pei's eyes, the only relatives in the world were Jiang Ruan, and the emperor was just a king, not a father. His lifespan was decided in the previous life, and he would eventually die in the hands of his own son Xuan Li. Xuan Pei wanted to take advantage of this and would not deliberately break it.
He took a deep breath and said, "Xuanli's next step must be an imperial edict. If he wants to get the imperial edict to establish the prince, he will take action very quickly and catch him off guard. This is his old method."
Mingyue was a little confused. When Xuan Pei's tone was heard, it seemed that she had fought with Xuan Li for many years, and seemed to know the other party very well. But Xuan Pei now had a direct fight with Xuan Li. It was just a fight from afar and was in a strife. Even so, she still said, "What do you think your Highness think?"
Xuan Pei chuckled gently. His already delicate facial features were so delicate that when he smiled, he was a little indescribable in the corner of his eyes. He was a bit like Jiang Ruan: "Don't pay attention to it, we will naturally do this."
Eunuch Li walked out of the emperor's bedroom and looked inside with some concern. The emperor's body began to slowly collapse a long time ago. This was something he had known for a long time, but at that time he thought he was old and time was not forgiving. Every emperor would age like this, which was inevitable. But... the emperor fell too suddenly.
Just under the gaze of the civil and military officials of the court, he suddenly fell down, which was enough for the officials of the Dajin Dynasty, and this command was related to a considerable storm in the future. After so many years in the palace, Eunuch Li knew that an era would end, which was an inevitable fact. With the death of the emperor, he, the general manager who had been with the emperor for many years, naturally had to follow him. Eunuch Li was not afraid. What he was afraid of was that before everything was settled.
