Xiao Jinglong's death did not cause much waves in the Mande Empire, not even a splash.He Yi quietly disposed of Xiao Jinglong's body, and even used the ashes as fertilizer. He claimed that Xiao Jinglong was sick in bed and couldn't get off the ground at all, not to mention asking him to take his sick body to court. Therefore, entrust He Yi Yi, the first commander-in-chief of the empire, came to take over all the affairs of the country.

Although Xiao Jinglong's sons are just rich and poor, and their abilities are not even comparable to their father Xiao Jinglong, their desire for power is no less than their father's.When they wanted to join forces with He Yi to kill their father, they planned to burp Xiao Jinglong so that they could take over the throne of the emperor, but they didn't expect it to be taken over by He Yi, an outsider.

The most important point is that even his sons didn’t know about Xiao Jinglong’s death—they planted the toxin in Xiao Jinglong’s body, but they didn’t know when the toxin kicked in or when Xiao Jinglong would burp. Therefore, when the news came out that Xiao Jinglong was seriously ill in bed, they could only hold a skeptical attitude and did not dare to make any big moves.

What if Xiao Jinglong was really just seriously ill and did not die?Xiao Jinglong's sons dare not gamble on this.

Of course, it is also possible to be a filial son to check on the disease, and to find out the truth by the way.However, when they came to Xiao Jinglong's bedroom in unison, all they could see was a figure on the bed, and they couldn't see anything clearly through the veil.

However, the coughing sound that came out from time to time was similar to Xiao Jinglong's voice.

No one dared to run up and lift the veil to see, after all, what if it was really Xiao Jinglong?They really can't eat and walk around!

Xiao Jinglong's personal attendant walked in through the side door holding a bowl of medicine, and lifted a corner of the veil.Xiao Jinglong's sons stretched their necks to see clearly the appearance of the person behind the veil, but unfortunately, they were blocked by Xiao Jinglong's attendants.

After a while, Xiao Jinglong's attendant bowed to the person on the bed holding an empty bowl, stepped back, and then said to the princes standing by, "Your Majesty said that it is inconvenient for him to be sick now." Seeing your highnesses, please go back, your highnesses know their filial piety, he is very pleased."

This is equivalent to a eviction order.The princes looked at me and I looked at you, but in the end they had no choice but to bow to the bed and leave one after another due to their fear of Xiao Jinglong.

However, will they give up their inquiries because of this?of course not! "Xiao Jinglong" handed over the power to He Yi, which not only aroused the dissatisfaction of several princes, but also caused doubts in the hearts of several honest ministers.

These upright ministers are one of the few clean men in the entire empire's political arena. If it weren't for their seniority, getting rid of them would cause a lot of criticism. Xiao Jinglong would definitely not tolerate them - there is no other reason, these ministers are old It was criticizing Xiao Jinglong for doing something wrong here and there, making Xiao Jinglong feel that as an emperor, he really lost face!

However, just being quick-tempered doesn't mean being quick-witted. This time, under the instigation of those princes, these ministers threatened to die and insisted on breaking into Xiao Jinglong's bedroom to see if His Majesty was really ill.

"If they insist on breaking in, then let them in." He Yi sneered, with a flash of light in his eyes, "I just hope they don't regret it."

These ministers obtained the permission of the "emperor" as they wished, and entered Xiao Jinglong's bedroom.

The door of the bedroom closed slowly behind them.

The ministers shuddered behind their backs, and felt a bad intuition. At the same time, the veil was pulled away by Xiao Jinglong's personal attendant, and the person on the bed sat up slowly.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" The eyeballs of these ministers were all rounded, and the person on the bed looked exactly like Xiao Jinglong.

But for some reason, their dangerous intuition has never dissipated.

"Xiao Jinglong" had a smile on his face. Although his face was pale, he didn't look like he was bedridden for a long time when he sat up.He said coldly in Xiao Jinglong's deep voice: "For those who are disobedient, just die."

The bodies of the ministers kneeling on the ground trembled, and the last sight in their eyes was He Yi's figure slowly walking out from the side door.

In Xiao Jinglong's bedroom, there were a few more corpses.

He Yi clapped his hands, and a few attendants trotted in behind him, dragging the corpses away.

These corpses will eventually disappear into the world without a sound like Xiao Jinglong.

A few more people came in from the side door, and they looked exactly like the ministers who died just now!

"Master." Together with "Xiao Jinglong" on the bed, these people bowed respectfully to He Yi.

He Yi nodded towards them lightly, but the ambition and excitement in his eyes were as real as they were.

With the testimony of these "ministers", the news that Xiao Jinglong was bedridden could be "confirmed", and those unsightly princes would no longer dare to act rashly.

Of course, He Yi would not spare the lives of these princes until the day he really ascended the throne. However, now is not the time to get rid of these people, not to mention, these fools really do not pose any threat.

What He Yi cared more about was the lives of Qin Xuan and Ouyang Jing. After Xiao Jinglong died, the only people He Yi wanted to get rid of the most were Qin Xuan and Ouyang Jing.

He has finally cleared away all obstacles, and he can have enough strength to compete with his uncle and cousin-in-law for the throne!

The corners of He Yi's lips curled up into a sneer, and he was sure to win the throne in his heart!

The only prince who didn't go to Xiao Jinglong's bedroom to "ask for warmth" was the third prince Xiao Ling.He was different from those brothers, he was not interested in the throne since he was a child, what's more, his mother was Qin Xuan's aunt, and Xiao Jinglong would never hand over power to a prince who was related to the Xiao family. Up.

Although Xiao Ling didn't ask about his health, he was the only son who really cared about Xiao Jinglong's health.He intuitively felt that there was something strange about all of this, so he could only suppress his desire to go to his father's palace to inquire about the news, and directly told Qin Xuan about it.

No matter how much Xiao Jinglong hated Qin Xuan, and mentioned Qin Xuan's "wolf ambition" in front of Xiao Ling's concubine countless times, Xiao Ling and his concubine Xuan felt that Qin Xuan's loyalty could stand the test, so, Once Xiao Ling encountered any problems, he still went to Qin Xuan directly and asked him to give him advice.

Xiao Ling never cared about the political affairs of the empire, if it wasn't for the unexpected and strange situation this time, he would not have stepped into this muddy water.

"You mean...Xiao Jinglong hasn't shown up for many days?" Qin Xuan frowned slightly after listening to Xiao Ling's statement.

He Yi blocked the news very well. Except for the high-level officials of the empire, no one knew the news that Xiao Jinglong was "in bed", let alone the fact that he had died.

"That's right, after the father's 90th birthday party, he has been sick in bed. My brothers also visited, but they were sent away by the father's personal attendants. Oh, yes, and Several ministers also went to visit the sick, and after they came out, they said that the father was indeed seriously ill. But why do I always feel uneasy?" Xiao Ling said very tangled, hoping that Qin Xuan would analyze it for him, see See if you are overthinking.

Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes, and fell silent to the communicator.

Xiao Ling didn't speak anymore, he didn't want to interrupt his cousin's train of thought.

"A Ling, find a chance to bring Aunt Xuan out, I will send someone to meet you." Qin Xuan said to Xiao Ling, with a very serious expression and a trace of dignity.

"This...cousin...cousin, did something happen?" Xiao Ling was startled by Qin Xuan's expression.

"Don't panic, I'm just guessing. No matter what, Emperor Star is not safe anymore. It's better for you and Aunt Xuan to come out earlier, so as not to be involved in unnecessary troubles in the future."

"But father, he..." Although Xiao Jinglong was indifferent to him and seemed to dislike him, in Xiao Ling's eyes, the other party was his father after all. bring out.

In fact, Xiao Ling also had a premonition that the Xiao Dynasty would not last long, maybe it was his father's generation, or maybe when his brothers were in power, this dynasty would be destroyed.As a descendant of the Xiao family, he is either sad or fake, but he also understands that there are some historical trends that are irreversible at all.

Although Xiao Ling pays more attention to the enjoyment of eating, drinking and having fun, sometimes he sees it more clearly than his ambitious brothers. Maybe, because of this, he won't fight or rob. .

Xiao Ling even thought that if the dynasty was really destroyed, he might be able to escape to Qin Xuan's territory with his father, mother and concubine.He felt that even if the royal father was to be thrown by his cousin in a remote place to kill himself, it would be better than dying. At worst, he, the royal father and the imperial concubine could live a common life together.

Xiao Ling felt that for the sake of him and his concubine, Qin Xuan should not hurt his father, it was better than falling into the hands of other ambitious people. If it fell into the hands of others, his father would definitely be died.

However, Xiao Ling did not expect that his wish was destined to be impossible to realize, because Xiao Jinglong had already passed away.

Qin Xuan had guessed the possibility of Xiao Jinglong being killed, but he didn't plan to tell Xiao Ling yet.He knew that this cousin was still filial, if he told Xiao Ling directly, maybe Xiao Ling would have to break into Xiao Jinglong's bedroom on impulse, alarming the people behind the scenes, it would be unknown whether Xiao Ling would be able to step out of the palace.

As for who is behind the scenes, Qin Xuan also has a guess.

"A Ling, your father is the lord of a country after all, so it's not that easy to get into trouble. On the contrary, it's you and Aunt Xuan, Xiao... His Majesty didn't care much about you, and now he's sick in bed. It's even more dangerous, so you'd better come out as soon as possible, otherwise, once the situation becomes chaotic, it will be very difficult for you to leave." Qin Xuan analyzed seriously.

"but……"

"A Ling, you want to leave a way out for your father, but have you ever thought that your hesitation will put Aunt Xuan in danger?" Qin Xuan pointed out Xiao Ling's thoughts directly.

"Then... well, cousin, you can figure it out, I will listen to you in everything."

In Xiao Ling's heart, mother and concubine are more important than father and emperor.

Qin Xuan nodded, and he let go of his worries about the two relatives of Emperor Xingwei.

If he and He Yi face to face, there is no doubt that Xiao Ling and Concubine Xuan's mother and son who are far away from the Emperor Star will become He Yi's biggest hostages and bargaining chips, so Qin Xuan must plan ahead.

Xiao Jinglong's death did not cause much waves in the Mande Empire, not even a splash.He Yi quietly disposed of Xiao Jinglong's body, and even used the ashes as fertilizer. He claimed that Xiao Jinglong was sick in bed and couldn't get off the ground at all, not to mention asking him to take his sick body to court.
