Quick Wear: The Villain is a Little Pitiful

"and many more."

Seeing that everyone was about to enter the city, the military advisor Mr. Lin, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke up to stop them and said, "There is an ambush."

Zhao Yue tightened the reins and looked back, "What?"

She looked at Tong Xiyuan, who gave her a soothing look and smiled at Mr. Lin, "Is the military advisor planning to betray the Second Prince?"

There were indeed no less than a hundred people lying in ambush in the city. Tong Xiyuan had just noticed it, but he had not made any move because he wanted to wait for Mr. Lin's reaction.

During the time in the border town, Tong Xiyuan could not take care of the dispute between Zhaoyue and Mr. Lin. The protagonist was obsessed with a crooked tree, and all Tong Xiyuan could do was to help Zhaoyue keep an eye on things.

If this person had not said this just now, Tong Xiyuan would not have brought Zhaoyue and the soldiers into the city.

Mr. Lin lowered his head in silence, struggling for a moment. When he looked up again, his eyes were full of sincerity, "Lin is willing to abandon the dark and join the light."

Tong Xiyuan nodded secretly and said to 999: [He is still worthy of Zhaoyue now. ]

999 agreed and asked: [Yuanbao, how do you plan to enter the city? ]

"Change the route and enter the city from the east gate." After Tong Xiyuan said this to everyone, he glanced at Mr. Lin and asked the military advisor to give a reasonable reason.

Mr. Lin said in a loud voice: "Everyone, His Highness has just received news that the Second Prince is plotting a rebellion and forcing the emperor to abdicate."

Tong Xiyuan inexplicably thought of the political dramas he had watched in the modern world before. He suppressed the urge to laugh and shouted loudly: "Comrades, follow me into the palace and clear the court of evil officials!"

……

This was destined to be a sleepless night. The soldiers returning from the border town were in high spirits, and the private soldiers trained by the second prince were completely unable to resist.

When Tong Xiyuan put the sharp blade against the second prince's neck, the emperor, whose crown was crooked, breathed a sigh of relief and almost rolled off the dragon throne.

Zhao Yue looked at the Second Prince, who had completely transformed into another person, and sighed, "Second brother, you are so confused."

The second prince ignored her, stared at Tong Xiyuan, and said in a vicious voice: "Do you think that if you kill me, your father will make you the crown prince? Don't be so wishful thinking."

"If you really don't want to, why are you in such a hurry to rebel?" Tong Xiyuan let him go, let the soldiers kidnap him, and then walked towards the emperor step by step.

The emperor looked at the blood-stained sword in his hand and stepped back involuntarily.

Tong Xiyuan frowned. He had never thought that there would be such a coward as an emperor. He took out a scroll from his arms and said, "Father, this is the agreement reached between this son and the king of Zhiyao."

The emperor was stunned for a long time before he stretched out his hand. When he was halfway out, he retracted his hand and asked the eunuch who had been guarding him to step forward and take it.

The eunuch unfolded the scroll and held it before the emperor. The emperor took a closer look and a heavy weight was finally lifted off his shoulders. He spoke in a hoarse voice from being overly frightened, "Good, Yuan'er did a good job."

Tong Xiyuan said: "Then I will go and place the soldiers first."

He turned around and went about his business. The emperor stared at his tall back for a while, then looked at the second prince who was bound in shackles, and asked the eldest eunuch, "Do you think the fifth prince will also..."

The eunuch was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. In my opinion, the Fifth Prince is the most filial."

The emperor suppressed his suspicion, sighed and looked at Zhaoyue whom he had not seen for several days. He wanted to put on a stern face and scold her angrily, but he felt guilty for agreeing to the marriage. He could not say anything for a while, so he could only wave his hand and sighed: "You really make me worry a lot."

Zhao Yue walked in front of him, but stopped one meter away, not as intimate as before. She looked back at the messy hall and said, "With Fifth Brother here, I have been living very well recently."

The emperor choked.

Zhao Yue continued, "Father, I think my fifth brother is much better than my second brother and the others."

“…I know.”

"As long as Father knows."

The next day.

A minister in the court mentioned the second prince's rebellion last night. After a heated discussion, someone suggested that the emperor could make Tong Xiyuan the crown prince in the future.

The emperor did not express his attitude, but he did a good job of saving face by rewarding Tong Xiyuan with many things, giving him a title and a mansion, and also allowing Tong Xiyuan to attend court meetings.

In this way, Tong Xiyuan has officially participated in the fight for the throne.

A month later, there was a snowstorm in the north. Tong Xiyuan made great contributions in disaster relief and his status became even higher after he returned.

As the end of the year approached, all the tedious affairs in the palace fell on his shoulders, and the sides in the court became increasingly obvious. Some people speculated that after the New Year, His Majesty would appoint the Fifth Prince as the Crown Prince.

Therefore, during the holidays at the beginning of the new year, the threshold of Tong Xiyuan's palace was almost broken down by people, but more than 70% of the people who came to visit came back empty-handed.

"So this is how the New Year is celebrated in Zhirao," Zhaoyue raised her hand to catch a snowflake, turned around and ran into the room where the stove was lit. Before she could show it to Tong Xiyuan, there was only a drop of water left in her palm. She sighed, looked at the two people sitting opposite each other on the soft couch playing chess, and said, "Brother Wang, you and your wife should also go out for a walk. This room is so stuffy."

Fan He, whom she called Wang Sao, left a child and said without even looking up, "If you feel bored, go back to your Northern Dynasty."

If it weren't for this little girl, would he have to sit and play chess with Tong Xiyuan?

Zhao Yue curled her lips, leaned over to look at their chessboard, and wondered, "I don't think I've ever seen the chess you guys play before."

Tong Xiyuan put down a black piece, looked at the connected pieces and smiled, then started to pick them up. "Gobang, it's very simple, I'll teach you later."

Zhao Yue: "Okay, let's go back to the Northern Dynasty together."

Fan He tutted, "He's not going back."

Zhao Yue said: "It's impossible, my fifth brother has to go back to be the crown prince."

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned this, but as soon as she mentioned Fan He, she got angry and didn't even want to play chess. She drove away the annoying Zhao Yue and went to the inner room with Tong Xiyuan in her arms.

"The prince alone has been waiting for half a year, how long do you want me to wait, Yuanyuan?"

Tong Xiyuan reached back and took out a thick stack of letter paper from under his pillow. "This is good too. I have time to write to you. Being an emperor is very busy."

He is not the crown prince yet, but the emperor has thrown a lot of things at him. Tong Xiyuan can't even imagine how busy he will be when he becomes the emperor in the future. I guess Fan He will feel even more aggrieved.

"Who wants to read the letters?" Fan He brushed the letters away and lowered his head to hold them in his mouth. "Yuan Yuan, please take me with you this time."

Tong Xiyuan hissed and agreed under pressure.

In March of the spring, the Northern Dynasty had a new crown prince. Within half a year, the emperor's health began to deteriorate due to his indulgence in pleasure day and night, and he suffered several serious illnesses.

A year later, Tong Xiyuan had already begun to supervise state affairs.

Time flies. The emperor's health completely collapsed five years later and the prince ascended the throne.

This year, the Northern Dynasty, which had always been equally powerful, joined forces with Zhiruo. After unifying other countries, Zhiruo surrendered to the Northern Dynasty.

With the country stable and free from external and internal worries, people live and work in peace and contentment.

The weather was mild and the harvest was good.
