Dear, suggest that the villain usurp the throne?

There was still an hour before the peace talks between the two parties, Lou Qingyan sat in the main hall of the North Courtyard and had a meal.The prince was said to be nervous and insomnia, so he was still resting in the room; He Ting and several experts were outside to discuss protection matters.

Just finished breakfast, the prince dragged his weary pace into the breakfast room, was startled when he saw Lou Qingyan, as if he saw a devil, turned around and left.

"Your Highness, is your complexion bad?"

The prince's back froze.He stood there for a long time, then flicked his sleeves for the last time, and made up his mind to turn around and walk in front of Lou Qingyan.

"National Teacher, I have something to ask you."

"Your Highness, please."

The prince waved his sleeves.The masters standing on both sides stepped back and closed the door.

"You are not Fang Ling."

Lou Qingyan finished his breakfast and was holding a teacup, his expression didn't change when he heard this.

The prince's expression was serious: "He Ting may believe that you broke through after returning from Xia Kingdom, but this king will not."

"Why doesn't the prince believe it?"

"This king has checked Fang Ling." The prince said, "There are rumors that he is also a son of a dragon, but his fate is lacking, so he will not be able to enjoy such a blessing in the end."

"Prince, don't believe such nonsense."

The prince snorted: "People with a lack of destiny will not be able to ascend to the Great Hunyuan throughout their lives. You are definitely not Fangling."

Lou Qingyan put down the teacup and looked at the prince: "Your Highness thinks that I am not Fang Ling, so who am I?"

The prince was stunned, and after a while, he stammered and said, "There are only a handful of great Hunyuan in the world. You, I'm afraid you are the owner of the Beixing Pavilion."

"As expected of a prince, he is very smart." Lou Qingyan admitted it very simply, got up and took two steps towards him.The prince couldn't help but backed away.

"What are you going to do?!"

Lou Qingyan asked: "The prince has already guessed it, so do you still need to ask?"

"You want to steal the country." He gritted his teeth, "This king will not let you succeed."

"Prince, you already know the current situation, don't you? We are now in Yuanchui Town. If someone has an accident, we can't tell who the murderer is." Lou Qingyan said, "Your Highness is very clear. Now His Highness is taking the initiative Tell me, I’m afraid I already have plans.”

Prince: "This king knows that Fang Ling is unlikely to become a great Hunyuan, will your majesty not know? The news from the army has already reached Dadu, and your conspiracy may have been exposed! If you are willing to accompany me to complete this peace talks, after returning to Dadu , this king will excuse you in front of His Majesty."

He clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were stubborn. Although he was a little nervous, he never avoided Lou Qingyan's gaze.

The prince is three years younger than Lou Qingyan, but his heart is much more childish.He has been the crown prince since he was born, and he is full of Confucianism, but he has never considered the drama of fighting for power.

"Your Highness, the sky has changed." Lou Qingyan whispered in his ear, "The news that I am a Hunyuan in the army has reached Dadu, and the news that I have spread has also arrived."

The prince's pupils constricted, and his teeth chattered up and down: "You... what drama do you have?"

Lou Qingyan suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful.Because of his natal relationship, he was the prince from birth, held in the palm of his hand, and spoiled by his mother.This keeps him from noticing some things.

For example, after Fang Ling became a national teacher, the power in the court was tilted, and the power of the prince's family fell. Emperor Yunde himself had the idea of ​​​​cutting his relatives and consolidating the authority of the royal family.

For another example, in this peace talk, the emperor's original intention was to raise Gu and give Fang Ling a chance.

But the adopted prince still doesn't know.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Your Highness, Mr. National Teacher, the peace talks are about to begin."

Lou Qingyan replied comfortably: "Okay."

The prince glanced sideways at him.

Lou Qingyan said lightly: "Let's go to the peace talks first. State affairs are the most important thing."

The whole process of peace talks went very smoothly.

Because of the previous battle, Yue Guo's confidence has been strengthened.Xia Guo and Yue Guo struggled with compensation for two hours. In the end, they spent [-]% of the expected price to extinguish Xia Guo's anger and re-signed the contract.

The peace talks ended, and the two parties parted ways.Yue Kingdom found out that the crown prince had disappeared.

Everyone was flustered, but Lou Qingyan was not in a hurry.

He knew where the prince would go.

"No need to wait," he said, "let's go back to Dadu first. The prince will come back."

South of Yuanchui Town, in front of Xia Guojun.

Eleven stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the scouts have caught someone."

The prince who was tied up and two masters of his direct line were caught in front of Lu Yu.

The secret guard reported: "Your Majesty, these three people sneaked out of the restaurant. The subordinates were worried that they were people with bad intentions, so they were arrested."

The gagged prince whimpered, his eyes staring like copper bells.

I just met him just now, and now I don't recognize anyone else?

Lu Yu was very kind: "You have arrested the wrong person. This is the prince of Yue Kingdom."

The prince relaxed.

Lu Yu asked the dark guard to untie them.Luckily, Lu Yu told the prince that the two countries had signed a treaty just now, and he didn't want to cause more trouble before Yueguo paid off the indemnity, so that he could escort the three of them back to the capital of Yueguo.

The prince thanked him very much, and he denounced the actions of the owner of Beixing Pavilion. He also said that he was worried about encountering accidents on the road, so he wanted to break away from the large army and rush back to Dadu.

When parting, he also thanked Lu Yu and said that Yueguo and Xiaguo will always be repaired.

Lu Yu looked at their leaving backs and rubbed his forehead: "If senior brother had chosen Yueguo to usurp the throne from the very beginning, with this opponent, he would have completed his mission long ago. Sigh."

Eleven: "Your Majesty, I have entrusted the 'escort' people, and I promise that the prince will arrive in Dadu at the 'right time', and I will be optimistic about them."

Five days later.

Xia Guo's secret guards escorted the prince and two other military officers to Dadu.

The large troops of the Moon Kingdom arrived at the capital of the Moon Kingdom before them.The prince and others were very anxious on the road, but Xia Guo's secret guard told them that in order to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed and be hunted down by the owner of the Beixing Pavilion, they must choose the most concealed path to advance, and they will make a few more detours along the way.

Although the prince is impatient, safety is the most important thing, so he cooperates very much.

Xia Guo's secret guard watched them enter the capital and left quietly.

When the prince and his party entered the capital, they were shocked by the sight of the streets full of depression.There is no one on the road, the autumn wind is rustling, all the vendors have disappeared, and every family is closed.

They were very puzzled, all the way to the Prince's Mansion, this doubt turned into shock.

White silk is hung on the plaque of the Prince's Mansion.

——The death of the prince, the world mourns.

So the road is so depressed.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, hold on!"

The subordinates supported the prince who was too excited and about to fall.

Confused, the prince's mouth was bloody, his eyes were empty, and he repeated in a low voice: "That villain must be spreading rumors. Quick, go to the palace and tell the emperor that this king is still alive."

The two supported the prince and were about to walk towards the palace, when they turned around, a person appeared on the empty street.

He didn't know when he stood there, dressed in a pure white robe and wearing a pure white bamboo hat on his head.

He stood there quietly, as if casting a cold spell around him, making everything silent.

The originally desolate and lonely street was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

The three princes looked nervously at the person in front of them, and tightly held the hands of those around them.

"Are you from Beixing Pavilion?" The prince stared at him viciously.

The man stepped forward.The prince hurriedly stepped back, but because of his unsteady legs, he fell backwards.

Seeing this, the man took two steps forward.

"Don't come here!" The master beside the prince shouted.

The prince looked pale and looked at the man on the street.

He walked directly in front of the prince, squatted down, and patted the prince's shoulder reassuringly: "Don't be afraid."

"You, who are you?"

The man lifted the hood.The fear on the prince's face turned into ecstasy!

This is someone he knows.This is the chief commander of the former department of Yueguo Palace, the direct descendant of Emperor Yunde!If he came to look for the crown prince, it meant that the crown prince could meet Emperor Yunde directly.

"Quick, quick, my lord, take me to see my father." The prince grabbed the commander's arm and stood up.

The commander-in-chief led a group of people into the palace from the never-yang gate, and made a detour all the way, as if he wanted to take them to some mysterious place.

The commander in chief is the emperor's confidant, the prince was very assured that he would never be manipulated by Lou Qingyan, so he followed him into the room with peace of mind.

The commander stopped in front of a remote courtyard: "Your Highness, you can go in alone, and the guards will stay outside."

The prince went in with peace of mind, however, as soon as the door was closed behind him, he seemed to fall from the clouds to hell again.

Lou Qingyan sat at the main seat in the room.He didn't wear a mask. This was the first time the prince had seen his real face, but the prince recognized him immediately with a hideous expression.

"You...how are you..."

The prince quickly turned around and grabbed the arm of the commander beside him: "Aiqing, this person is pretending to be a national teacher in an attempt to harm Yue Kingdom! Hurry up and report to His Majesty!"

"Your Highness, there is no need."

The prince froze in place.

The commander said: "You will never be able to enter the palace again. It was this man who claimed to see you again, so he let you come here."

"Tian Yunfu, even you betrayed His Majesty?!" The prince's face was extremely stiff, and he suddenly fell to the ground.

The commander's face remained unchanged: "Your Highness, you still don't understand, this is what His Majesty meant."

The prince seemed to have lost his soul, turned his head stiffly, and slowly turned his gaze to Lou Qingyan who was sitting on the main seat.The latter was looking into his eyes with an innocent smile—this time, he was not wearing a mask, and that face that looked like a vase was harmless and brilliant, but in the eyes of the prince, it was undoubtedly a Rakshasa.

The commander-in-chief said: "When news of the battle between you and Xia's army outside Yuanchui Town came back to Dadu, the Fang family also told the truth. Fang Ling was not actually the prince who was born to Concubine Fang and was adopted by the Fang family. , In fact, he was replaced, and the prince who is really living outside is this."

The prince's eyes widened, and he looked up at the person on the throne.

Lou Qingyan remembered that there was a very secret message before reading the file.

At that time, having lost all his martial arts, he met Fang He, the head of the Fang family, on his way into the palace.Fang He kidnapped him with morality at that time, saying that Fang Ling had written everything into documents and hid them in Fang's house before he intervened in the war between Xia Guo and Rong Guo.The Fang family already knew that Lou Qingyan was actually Fang Zhiyi's child.

Since Fang Ling wrote the following document before he joined Rongguo's army, the information has not changed after reading the file again!

Lou Qingyan sent people back to Dadu before entering the peace talks in Yuanchui Town, went straight to the Fang family, and used the name of the national teacher to ask everyone in the Fang family to go to Fang Ling's room in the Fang residence to find the truth that he himself left earlier. , and then presented to Emperor Yunde.

In this way, it doesn't matter even if Emperor Yunde knows that he is not the real Fang Ling, because both Fang Ling and Lou Qingyan are princes.

Moreover, if the owner of the Beixing Pavilion is the prince of the Yue Kingdom, and he is willing to submit the Beixing Pavilion to the Yue Kingdom, then he is even more competitive than Fang Ling himself.

He is the prince, and he is willing to stand on the side of Yue Kingdom.that's enough.

Lou Qingyan stood up and nodded slightly to the Commander: "I have nothing to say. I will leave it to the Commander. I believe His Majesty has already told the Commander what to do."

"No, father watched me grow up, how could I trust an outsider like you...you!"

Lou Qingyan went out of the room and closed the door for the commander.

Everything after that is none of his business.The commander-in-chief will act according to the orders of Emperor Yunde.

The prince's shouts ended in screams.

Emperor Yunde looks kind, but he is the most ruthless.

Just like his Fang Zhiyi back then, this person has no heart at all.

In his eyes, the crown prince and his relatives are connected together. When he wants to rely on the power of his relatives, even if the prince is a fool, he will be promoted to the position of crown prince;

And Lou Qingyan, who has been wandering outside since childhood, has no one to look after, and only has his own power, will become the most sympathetic heir to Emperor Yunde.Because he took over the national teacher's tiger talisman and manipulated He Ting in one hand, he was showing his skills to the aging Emperor Yunde.This peace talk is about raising Gu, as long as the Gu raiser is satisfied with the winner in the end, it doesn't matter what is put in or what is left in the end.

This old man who is no longer prestigious will like such a person who has no scruples and simple means; because he has seen his ideal - absolute centralized imperial power.

When Lou Qingyan came out of the remote courtyard, the personal eunuch next to Emperor Yunde stood at the intersection, and respectfully invited him to come in front of Emperor Yunde.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the strong smell of medicine could not cover the smell of decay and aging.

The old man who was half lying on the couch heard the sound of the door opening and turned to look at him with an elderly smile on his face.

Lou Qingyan took a deep breath of the air full of stagnation, knowing in her heart that her mission was about to be accomplished.

However, he didn't feel the slightest joy in completing the task.Some kind of restlessness seemed to be brewing in the elongated phoenix eyes.A deeper plan quietly took shape in my heart.
