Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

Chapter 238: Northern Barbarians Fight for the Throne

Not only were the audience in the live broadcast room curious about what he was going to do, but Xiao Zhixing was also curious.

At the same time, Bai Feng, who was secretly following behind, was even more curious.

The secret guard led An Wuxi through the palace in a mysterious manner, and soon arrived at the Great Hall and entered through a secret door.

An Wuxi personally climbed up to the Changshengtian Baoxiang on the throne, took out a box and opened it.

Inside was the imperial edict for the succession of the throne.

He took a deep breath, took it out and unfolded it. After confirming that it was an imperial edict, he stuffed it directly into his sleeve.

Then, using the dim candlelight, he took out a blank imperial edict and pen and ink and wrote an identical imperial edict on the spot.

He even imitated the font so well that it was indistinguishable from the real thing, which showed that he was well prepared.

Finally, the imperial edict was completed, but he changed the successor from Xiao Long to——

[Red barrage: Oh my god, Xiao Chi? ? ]

【Green barrage: Oh my god, I guessed everyone, but I didn’t guess that he was Xiao Chi’s man! Aren’t they enemies? 】

Xiao Zhixing was not surprised, because the most unlikely one is the most likely.

After the newly written imperial edict had dried, An Wuxi put it in a box and then put the box back behind the temple.

He left with the secret guards carrying the original imperial edict and hurried back to the mansion. Then two eagles flew towards Changmo Pass.

An Wuxi was planning to burn the original imperial edict, but at this moment, the sound of funeral drums announcing the death of the Khan came from the palace.

It seems that Xiao Kui's death has been discovered by the eunuchs and palace maids.

In a panic, he had to stuff the imperial edict into the secret compartment in his study and hurried into the palace pretending to be grief-stricken.

He didn't know that the imperial edict would soon disappear.

Inside the palace, the Northern Barbarian officials entered one after another. By this time, it was already clear who belonged to whom.

Several princes formed their own groups behind them.

Among them, Xiao Long has the most people following him, followed by Xiao Bao.

There was also a group of people who did not follow anyone and just stood there quietly.

After they cried hypocritically for a few times, they finally talked about the most important matter of succession to the throne.

"The Khan has passed away. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I wonder if the Khan left behind any words or instructions on passing on the throne?"

Gu Modi was the first to speak, looking at An Wuxi.

An Wuxi had a pale face and kept coughing softly. He didn't respond and waited for others to speak.

Another person said, "Yes, the Khan once told me that after the divine appearance on the throne in the Great Hall, there was an imperial decree to pass on the throne!"

Another person also said that it was true.

At this point, An Wuxi spoke up, "Ahem, the Khan also told me to pass on the throne to the Empress of the Divine Prime Minister."

Upon seeing this, all the ministers went to the Great Hall together and took out the imperial edict from the box in public.

"Sir An, will you read it?"

An Wuxi paused, nodded, and unfolded the imperial edict, "...the eldest prince Xiao Chi will take the throne as Khan..."

There was an uproar.

Gumodi was the first to get furious, "Impossible!!"

Another person said: "The Khan once privately told me to pass the throne to His Highness the Sixth Prince. This, this..."

An Wuxi frowned and said, "But the Khan told me not long ago that he would pass the throne to His Highness. Could it be that the Khan changed his mind temporarily?"

It is not impossible that some officials nodded when they heard this.

Xiao Chi is now very powerful and has occupied nearly 800 million acres of territory in the northern border. Even the tribes in the northwestern and western parts of the country have shown signs of joining him.

It is not impossible that the Khan had no choice but to pass the throne to him in order to maintain internal stability in the Northern Barbarians.

Gumodi said angrily: "The Khan will never pass the throne to a son of a slave!"

This is the most criticized point about Xiao Chi. Once he comes to power, all the slaves in the north will surely rise up and seriously threaten the interests of various nobles.

That would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among them and lead to unrest.

Therefore, they did not believe that the Khan would be so foolish as to pass the throne to Xiao Chi.

An Wuxi shook his head helplessly and handed them the imperial edict. "I don't know what to do."

Xiao Bao was the first to grab the imperial edict, reading it word by word, and his face turned gloomy at the end.

Gu Modi also grabbed it and after reading it, he wanted to tear up the imperial edict, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The Khan favors the Sixth Prince the most and has long intended to pass on the throne to him!"

"Yes, the Khan has told at least two adults that he will pass the throne to His Highness the Sixth Prince. Why is this imperial decree different? Did the emperor really change his mind at the last minute?"

Xiao Bao sneered, "There is such a big controversy over the succession, and there are different opinions. Who should be made the new emperor?"

Xiao Long stood there quietly, neither angry nor happy.

The imperial edict was handed over to him.

He stroked the imperial edict in his hand, his eyes swept over everyone, especially staring at An Wuxi, "Sir An, you are the last person to see my father Khan. I am curious, after you left my father Khan's bedroom, it took you a while to leave the palace. Where did you go during this time?"

An Wuxi was not in a hurry and smiled bitterly, "I have not been feeling well since returning from Dasheng. I felt dizzy halfway after leaving the bedroom, so I found a quiet place to sit for a while. If the Sixth Prince suspects anything, I can't do anything. It was only half a cup of tea at that time, and I had no place to find witnesses."

"Really?" Xiao Chi clapped his hands.

Ye Bi suddenly appeared and threw up two disabled secret guards.

"Your Highness, these two have admitted that they secretly brought Lord An to the Grand Court Hall before."

Yebi went to open the secret door, "Look, they entered through this."

Xiao Long sneered, "Master An, good trick."

He shook the imperial edict and said, "If I am not mistaken, the ink of this imperial edict is very fresh. Could it be that when my father was too ill to lift a pen, he could still write this imperial edict?"

"The wrists of people who have been ill for a long time are weak, but the characters above are vigorous and resolute. They are the strength of my father's writing when he was healthy. This is a contradiction."

An Wuxi looked at him deeply, "Sixth Prince went to Dasheng for a visit, and he has become very careful."

He also knew that the hasty tampering of the imperial edict would inevitably lead to various loopholes, but he had to give His Highness the four words "legitimate" and "justifiable".

Even though there are many doubts.

An Wuxi laughed, "This imperial edict was indeed written by me. The Khan was no longer able to hold a pen, so he ordered me to imitate his handwriting and write it for him. He also ordered me to secretly replace the latest imperial edict of succession."

Gu Modi was furious, "Nonsense! The Khan values ​​His Highness the Sixth Prince the most, how could he change his successor at the last minute? Even if Xiao Chi has made great achievements, he cannot win the support of the people as a slave. An Wuxi, you privately tampered with the imperial edict, how dare you!"

An Wuxi said loudly with a righteous look on his face: "I am loyal to the Khan and the Northern Barbarians. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

He pointed at Xiao Long fearlessly and said, "Why did the Khan change the imperial edict? Sixth Prince, you don't understand it yourself, let me tell you."

"You think Xiao Zhixing is your sister, and you have lost your memory and have forgotten your past. How can the Khan be assured of passing the throne to you?"

"Now that the throne is in your hands, if you are deceived by Xiao Zhixing in the future, won't you give up the throne?"

"Sixth Prince, I have no selfish motives. You value friendship and loyalty, and have taken good care of the eldest prince. This is also what the Khan is satisfied with. But now, ask yourself, if you confront Xiao Zhixing on the battlefield in the future, will you kill her with your own hands?"

An Wuxi coughed violently, "I won't live long. I will go down to accompany the Khan after this. Like the Khan, I can't let go of the Northern Barbarians. Sixth Prince, the eldest prince has a close relationship with you. I hope you will think twice."

The sound of falling leaves can be heard in the Grand Court Hall.
