After the empress, the prime minister, and the imperial clansmen had discussed this matter, they decided that the Crown Prince would ascend the throne the next day with Shi Jinhan. After he ascended the throne, he would serve Empress Ke as the empress dowager and the late emperor as the emperor of the south.
After everything was settled, Shi Jinhan returned to the East Palace. Looking at the sights and objects of the East Palace, he felt a sense of reluctance.
This place bore witness to his growth. Ever since his Shi Jinhan was bestowed the title of crown prince, he had been living in the Eastern Palace. He and the tutor had learned the ways of governing nations, learned the ways of waging war in the army from the general of the kingdom, and discussed important matters with his aides.
From tomorrow onwards, he would completely leave this place. He was truly reluctant.
As he thought about Shi Jinhan, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, but they were quickly wiped away.
Shi Jinhan returned to his room, took out a small bottle of White Yulan Orchid from his sleeve, and poured out a pill. He drank it directly from the tea on the table.
Just as Shi Jinhan had hidden the bottle away, the eunuch knocked on the door and came in. He then took out a tray with a bowl on top of it.
The chief eunuch walked to the side of Shi Jinhan and said in a shrill voice, "Your Highness, I've been tired all day today. Let's drink a bowl of ginseng soup."
Shi Jinhan looked at the bowl the head eunuch was carrying, and did not receive it for a long time, but asked, "You have been following me for a while, right?"
"Yeah, thirteen years." the eunuch said.
Shi Jinhan let out a heavy sigh, "That's right, it's been thirteen years. Then, without any hesitation, he took the bowl of soup and gulped it down.
Less than three seconds after drinking it, 'Bang!' The bowl fell from Shi Jinhan's hand onto the ground, while blood flowed out from the corner of Shi Jinhan 'mouth, and slid down his chin to his neck.
Shi Jinhan fought against eyes, waiting for the eunuch in disbelief, slowly falling onto the bed without any intuition.
Great Eunuch placed his hand on Shi Jinhan's nostril in a probing manner, and had no breath left to breathe. The Chief Eunuch used both hands to close his eyes, which were filled with grievances due to the loss of Shi Jinhan.
He muttered, "Your Highness, this old servant has let you down. Now that you've reached the underworld, you can look for the empress. She ordered this old servant to do it."
Then, he used his sleeve to wipe off the blood stains around the corner of Shi Jinhan and around his neck. He placed his body properly, and acted as if he was sleeping, then secretly sent someone to inform the empress that he had succeeded. That person was one of the people who spoke behind the fake mountain before Shi Jinhan.
When the Empress heard the news that Shi Jinhan had passed away, her expression did not change at all. She only paused for two seconds and then ordered Li Lianchi to notify Ke Zheng overnight so that she could take advantage of the darkness. It was as if the person who had passed away was not her own son at all. In her heart, she could only restore her country, and even her son could be sacrificed.
At this time, the Qin Yu in the outskirts leading troops was temporarily taken away by the Ke Zheng. No one expected that the emperor would die early, so when things went wrong, they handed the leading troops over to the Ke Yuehua alone.
When Ke Yuehua walked out of the tent door, he saw a patch of grass.
"East." From far away, Ke Yuehua could be seen approaching. It was the Villa Master of the Thousand Sword Villa.
Just as Dongfang Qi was about to give Ke Yuehua a hug, he was interrupted, "Stop!"
The Dongfang Qi was still struggling nonstop, and he said, "I haven't seen the Xiao Sui in a long time. Xiao Sui, do you not miss me? "
Ke Yuehua helplessly looked at the Dongfang Qi which was still very childish, and said: "It's been hard on you for this period of time."
Dongfang Qi told Ke Yuehua: "You and Shi Jinchen are truly worthy of being husband and wife. All you know is to cause trouble for me every day.
Ke Yuehua decided to coax Dongfang Xi first, otherwise, based on his personality, how much trouble would he have to deal with for you?
"Alright, I missed you." Ke Yuehua took the initiative to embrace Dongfang Qi.
It was only then that the Dongfang Qi got excited, and he pointed to the disciples of the Thousand Sword Villa who were well on their way, "Relax, they will immediately take care of these people, there won't be any problems."
"As long as you go, nothing will happen to you." Ke Yuehua said like Dongfang Qi with sincere gratitude, "Thank you very much, Dongfang."
Dongfang Qi opened up his fan with a swoosh, and coolly said, "How big of a deal is that? Shi Jinchen is my brother, for brother's sake, how can I thank you?"
Ke Yuehua looked at Dongfang Qi, and said: "Aren't you cold?" On this October night, especially in the vast and empty plains, there was nothing to stop the wind. When it blew, it was truly very cold.
Just as he finished speaking, Dongfang Qi sneezed, "Achoo!"
Ke Yuehua laughed unscrupulously, and Dongfang Qi awkwardly put away his fan. He did not pretend to be cool, because if he got cold again, it would be funny.
Immediately, someone ran over to report to Dongfang Qi, "Manor Lord, everything is ready."
"Alright!" Dongfang Qi pointed at Ke Yuehua and said: "This is Miss Ke, in a while, all of you will listen to her commands, do you understand?"
"Yes, Manor Lord." "Miss Kirk."
Dongfang Qi pointed at that person and said to Ke Yuehua: Xiao Sui, this is Ma Chao, if you have anything you need, just instruct him.
Ke Yuehua extended his hand, holding Ma Chao's hand and said: "Tonight, I will leave it to you."
"Just tell me, Miss K." Ma Chao laughed embarrassedly, his face turning red. A rough man in his twenties, who had never held a woman's hand before, was extremely excited when he was held by the elegant Ke Yuehua.
Seeing that the preparations were almost done, Dongfang Qi prepared to leave: "Xiao Sui, the things that Shi Jinchen has told me have been completed, I will take my leave first."
"Aren't you going to stay and wait for news?" Ke Yuehua asked Dongfang Qi.
Dongfang Qi smiled complacently, "With my Dongfang Qi, there is nothing that I cannot accomplish. Now that the results are known, I will be leaving. Xiao Sui, I will miss you! "
Ke Yuehua shook his head helplessly, this Dongfang Qi really doesn't follow the rules. It's obvious that they care deeply about what Shi Jinchen tells them, so they personally brought the person to the capital and handed him over to me. They were about to start, but he left again. He really couldn't understand, this man who looked like a mystery, didn't know how Shi Jinchen could become good friends with this kind of person, the style of these two were completely different.
The Ke Yuehua had Ma Chao gather all the people and send another five hundred people to guard the unconscious people. With the sweat medicine, it would take them at least a day and a night to wake up no matter how strong they are.
Ke Yuehua had told everyone to give their mission to the leader, and it was imperative that everyone clearly understand their mission, and they definitely could not make a mistake.
When everyone had understood everything, a signal flare unique to broken sword cliff was released in the distant sky at dawn.
Ke Yuehua led five thousand people from the Thousand Sword Villa who were disguised as subordinates of the broken sword cliff, and headed towards the city gate.
Ke Yuehua knew clearly in his heart that once the signal flare was released, the palace change had already begun.
