After seeing Dongfang Hao leave with his father and Ying Ying, Shang Yiqing threw the longsword in her hand away and sneered at King Xuan, "I've already put down my weapon. What do you want to do?"
"I like it when Imperial Concubine Rong cooperate." Prince Xuan Fei laughed and signaled with his eyes, "Concubine Wang. Now that you've fallen into my hands, you can't blame me for treating you like this." When Li Guoguo heard this, he stepped forward to bind Shang Yiqing.
Shang Yiqing looked at the distant sky. By then, it was already sunny and the sun was high in the clouds. Soon, it would be dark. She only thought to herself: Fang Zinan, when are you coming back? If this is the last time we see each other in this life, how can I not love you enough? I already felt that life was not enough, not to mention that we were only husband and wife for two years, the time we spent together was so short, I didn't expect that this separation would lead to the eternal separation of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect that this separation would lead to never seeing each other again! "At this thought, she sighed: People say that the setting sun is the end of the world, and that she cannot see him.
King Xuan glanced at Shang Yiqing and saw her staring blankly at the western sky. He couldn't help but sneer, "Princess Rong, don't think too much. Obediently come with me now."
At this moment, Li Guoguo took out a piece of black cloth and covered Shang Yiqing's eyes with it. Shang Yiqing could only see darkness in front of him. She couldn't help but feel angry and resentful towards herself. She felt that she hadn't taken advantage of this opportunity. She didn't know how to cherish her time with Fang Zinan, but now, she no longer had the chance to be together with him. After her eyes were blindfolded, Fang Zinan's image appeared more clearly before her eyes. Shang Yiqing smiled bitterly, she didn't expect that in this moment of life and death, she actually didn't think about her own life and death, but cherished the sweet time they had together.
Seeing that Shang Yiqing's eyes were blindfolded, King Xuan said to Li Guoguo, "Take her away first." Saying this, he went forward and pressed Shang Yiqing's mute acupoint to prevent her from revealing the news.
Li Guoguo walked with Shang Yiqing.
It was at this moment that Shang Yiqing heard someone approach him and say, "Your Highness, we are ready. When can we make our move?"
King Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the sky. He said unhurriedly, "The next day is not as good as the day after the collision. We'll start tonight."
"Tonight?" The man hesitated.
"What, what's wrong?" King Xuan asked again.
"It's nothing. Just now, someone saw Prince Yu entering the palace. With Prince Yu present, is it a bit inappropriate for us to take action?"
"Prince Yu?" King Xuan thought for a moment. After all, Prince Yu was his father. Even if he didn't think about brotherly feelings, it would be hard for him to part with fatherly feelings. He hesitated and didn't say anything. He just rode on.
Shang Yiqing was startled when she heard this. Could it be that King Xuan was going to deal with Prince Yu as well? Was that his father? In the past, when he heard that princes would try to kill their fathers for the throne, he had only taken it as a joke and listened to it. However, he had never imagined that this was the truth.
After a while, he suddenly heard King Xuan ask, "Where are we going now?" Just as they were discussing, they suddenly saw a firework exploded in the air. The slightly black sky became prettier, and the firework lingered in the air for a long time. Furthermore, the flower pattern was very special as King Xuan had never seen such a dazzling and beautiful firework. Not only was King Xuan attracted, even his subordinates were attracted as well. Everyone simultaneously looked towards the sky.
Other than missing Fang Zinan, he didn't feel any fear. Perhaps it was because she was a nurse and had seen many life and death situations, but at this moment, besides feeling a little sad, she also felt regret, regret that she didn't cherish the days they spent together.
King Xuan stared blankly at the firework for a long, long time. His face suddenly changed greatly: Crap! Could someone have sent a message to inform Prince Rong to speed up the process? Thinking up to here, he asked, "Quickly send the person who asked for the news over, I want to know where Prince Rong and the others have marched to."
His words were hurried and rushed, causing Shang Yiqing's heart to tremble. Could it be that Fang Zinan and his men were already here?
Everyone saw that King Xuan was asking about this matter in such a hurry, so they hastily sent out a signal to the person asking for news. As King Xuan walked forward, he waited for news. Not even an hour had passed when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves approaching. They immediately dismounted and knelt before King Xuan. "Your Highness, right now, Prince Rong's army is still a thousand miles away from the Southern Marsh Kingdom. If you don't leave by night and day, you should be able to arrive by tomorrow night."
Tomorrow? King Xuan sucked in a breath. Who would have thought that Prince Rong's army would return so quickly? He couldn't hesitate any longer. Even if it was his father, when it was necessary, he would still kill him! King Xuan took a deep breath and ordered everyone, "Go to the palace immediately and admonish the soldiers. In addition, pass down all the entrances to the capital without letting a single person in. Kill anyone who enters without permission!"
"Yes sir!" His men responded in unison and left.
Shang Yiqing was anxious and anxious. She was worried that King Xuan was about to rebel, but even though she knew about the news, she couldn't notify anyone else. Being unable to do anything was a very painful thing, just like how she now understood everything, knowing everything but not being able to do anything!
King Xuan ordered people to help Shang Yiqing to the horse, while he himself commanded the soldiers to approach the imperial city.
Not long after, the sky had completely darkened, and Duke Xuan's entourage arrived at the imperial palace.
"Your Royal Highness, you've finally come!" The leader of the Dragon Guards, Kong Wen, clasped his fists and greeted King Xuan respectfully.
King Xuan smiled slightly, "Is everything ready?"
"Your Royal Highness, everything is ready."
King Xuan lifted his head to look at the rising crescent moon and asked faintly, "What day is tomorrow?"
"The sky is clear tomorrow, of course."
"What about after the blue sky?"
Kong Youcai smiled, "Of course, there will be a new trend. All hopes will start tomorrow!"
"Good!" Tomorrow is the beginning of hope. Today, we will fight for tomorrow's hope! " King Xuan's legs buckled up as he dashed into the Imperial City.
Upon entering the palace, someone immediately went up to report, "Your Highness, Prince Yu and the emperor are currently playing chess in the imperial study. What should we do?"
It was a pity that these two old men had only cared about the Prince Rong's benevolence. Even if he bribed the servants of the House of the King Rong and secretly poisoned the Prince Rong as well as made him weaker and sicker, he would still make these two old men feel pity for Prince Rong! What was even more infuriating was that Prince Rong had married Shang Yiqing, the daughter of an imperial physician, and even his health was starting to improve. Needless to say, the poison in his body had been removed. Thinking about this made King Xuan extremely angry! However, Prince Yu was his own father after all. Was he really going to exterminate him? King Xuan pondered for a moment before saying, "Take me to see His Majesty."
"Your Highness, since we're already here, why don't we go back now? Why should we go see the Emperor?" Zuo Chengtian asked.
"This King knows. Let's go to the imperial study first."
