Chapter 424 Are You Serious?
Chapter 424 Are You Serious?
Xiao Zhennan looked at Chen Changan and his head buzzed!
Instead of feeling scared, he courageously took two steps forward. When he smelled the strong smell of medicine on Chen Changan's body, he understood everything!
"Chen, Brother Chen, you are not dead?"
"Good people don't live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years. How can I die so easily?" Chen Changan shook his head and smiled.
“Oh my god, that’s great!”
Xiao Zhen used all his strength to rush to Chen Changan and hugged him tightly!
The hug was so strong, as if it wanted to merge Chen Changan into his body.
Xiao Zhennan was jumping excitedly while holding Chen Changan in his arms, his face filled with a bright smile, that smile was as warm as the summer sunshine!
"Master Xiao, Master Xiao, I am a wounded soldier. Although I am not dead, I am not far from death after being tortured by you!"
Only then did Xiao Zhennan notice that Chen Changan was still injured.
After regaining his normal mood, Xiao Zhennan's eyes suddenly lit up: "I understand, Brother Chen wants to cause a stir in the court to see if he has any ill intentions?"
"Yes, but this plan was implemented too late after all." Chen Changan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If I had thought of this that day, I would have taken down Prince Jing'an by now."
"Prince Jing'an... Brother Chen, Prince Jing'an wants to harm you. The emperor already knows about this. As soon as he got the news, he sent the Golden Armor Guards to surround the palace."
"Prince Jing'an was captured?"
"No, Prince Jing'an is not in the palace, but in Shangqing Palace!"
Lord Xiao shook his head and said, "Although they failed to capture Prince Jing'an, the Golden Armor Guards did have a conflict with others. Those people were fearless and brave, and they were none other than Sakurajima's people!"
"The hateful Prince Jing'an actually wanted to forget his roots and escape to Sakurajima!"
Chen Changan looked at Xiao Zhennan strangely. Although he was hesitant, he didn't say anything.
Although Sakurajima and Prince Jing'an have a cooperative relationship, Sakurajima's prince died in Da Chu, and so many people were killed. Even if Prince Jing'an goes, he can't bring any real benefits. Will the people of Sakurajima accept them?
Now it seems that Western Xia, far away in the frontier, is the most suitable country.
"Why didn't the emperor send anyone to capture Prince Jing'an?" Chen Chang'an said suspiciously.
"evidence."
Xiao Zhennan gritted his teeth and said, "Although it can be proved that the red lantern was given to Princess Ning'an by Prince Jing'an, Prince Jing'an can say that he didn't know and pretend to be a victim."
"Prince Jing'an is a very sinister person. He has realized that the emperor is going to take action against him, so he is acting very cautiously."
"The emperor means that either we don't move, or we make her suffer eternal damnation!"
Chen Changan agreed with the emperor's statement. Zhan Yan said, "It's exactly what I thought. There is no evidence... Haha, we can't create evidence?"
"Creating evidence? How?"
Xiao Zhennan was stunned: "Brother Chen, to be honest, I am very good at identifying which dynasty an ancient book came from, but I don't understand what you said."
Chen Changan shook his head. When did Old Xiao become so stupid?
"It's very simple. We just need to create some evidence of Prince Jing'an's rebellion and give the emperor an excuse."
"What does this mean?"
"What I mean is... Damn, Lao Xiao, you are so mean!" Chen Changan reacted decisively and realized that Lao Xiao did it on purpose!
Slandering Prince Jing'an for rebellion is a very despicable method. How could Old Xiao not see it? It's just that he disdains to use such means. This is the arrogance of a scholar.
Chen Changan raised his eyebrows and said, "Forget it, forget it. I know why Lao Xiao pretended to be confused. Everything will be up to me. Whether it's infamy or fame, I will bear it all."
Xiao Zhennan gave a thumbs up: "Brother Chen, what I want to say is that history is written by the victors."
Chen Changan nodded and smiled. Xiao Zhennan then asked, "When do you plan to... take action?"
"The sooner the better." Chen Changan shrugged and said, "Look, I'm already blown up now. If I delay any further, I don't know what else Prince Jing'an will do. I can't always be on guard against him."
Xiao Zhennan nodded immediately, and the two of them discussed it again.
Mainly, some things are needed. Xiao Zhennan has seen these things, so there is no problem in asking him to do it.
The discussion was over and Xiao Zhennan left through the back door.
After lying in bed for half an hour, Liu Ruge came in again and sighed, "My husband, there are many people outside the door, and the emperor is here too."
Chen Changan was stunned. It was over. He had committed the crime of deceiving the emperor again.
Chen Changan shook his head and said, "Hurry up, let the emperor come to the inner hall... No, that's not right, he is the emperor, how can he meet his subjects?"
"Forget it, carry me out to see him."
"Husband, I don't think we need to see him!" Liu Ruge said angrily, "He is here, but he and his people are all dressed in white and mourning clothes, humph!"
Chen Changan suddenly stopped being anxious.
The emperor was able to make such a big deal out of this matter, and he was not in a hurry to come over to confirm his life or death. I think he had already seen through it and knew that he was deliberately putting on this show, so it was just right that he cooperated with him.
Otherwise, why do they say that he is the emperor and nothing can be hidden from him.
Chen Changan felt relieved when he thought of this, and the craftsman also pushed out the four-wheeled cart.
Chen Changan sat on it and Lao Ma pushed it from behind, and they were finally able to move.
"The Emperor has arrived..."
While they were practicing, there was a sudden shout from outside the door, and everyone knelt on the ground immediately.
Chen Changan looked up and saw the old emperor walking in with a majestic gait, with Eunuch Jing on his left and Zhao Qingcheng on his right.
Chen Changan hugged him and said, "Your Majesty, I am honored to see you! I am injured and cannot perform the ceremony. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
The emperor looked at Chen Changan and sneered, "Qingcheng, you two go out first. I have a few words to say to you alone."
Zhao Qingcheng gritted her teeth and said softly, "Brother, since he saved Xiang Yingyu, please don't make things difficult for him."
The emperor shook his head, and everyone left.
The emperor sat in front of the table, sipping tea quietly. Chen Changan just looked at the emperor, and really couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking.
After a silence that lasted for about a cup of tea, the emperor finally spoke first: "Chen Changan, why don't you tell me what you think?"
"Say, what did you say?"
"You are so forgetful, Regent!"
The emperor took a deep breath, frowned and said, "I have asked Xiang Wang many times in the past two days to see what his plans are for the throne, but this son is useless and doesn't want the throne at all."
"Please think about this for me. Can you accept this position of Regent?"
"Oh, Your Majesty, so you mentioned this matter. I have been thinking about it very carefully recently."
Chen Changan was well prepared and said, "I think you may not understand me. After coming back this time, I have no interest in anything. Not to mention just being the regent, even if you give me the whole country, I probably won't be interested in it at all."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, and Chen Changan continued, "It is a form of disrespect to hand over the country to someone who has no interest in him."
"I have a solution that will achieve the best of both worlds, and I would like to share it with Your Majesty."
"You say." The emperor frowned and said.
"It's actually very simple. Zhao Qingcheng is your sister, and *** and Ning An are your daughters. They all have some royal blood, right?"
Chen Changan licked his lips and said, "You also know, Zhao Qingcheng..."
Chen Changan pointed to his stomach, and the emperor became even more angry: "You bastard, I wish I could kill you!"
"What kind of person is Empress Zhaolie? She was willing to die for my country, but you defiled her daughter... Humph, you really deserve to be cut into pieces!"
The emperor gritted his teeth angrily. Chen Changan did not dwell on this topic: "Your Majesty, what I want to ask is, will Zhao Qingcheng's child have royal blood?"
The emperor just nodded, and Chen Changan smiled again and said, "Let's take a step back. In the future, both *** and Ning An will definitely get pregnant. I have confidence in myself. Can't they give birth to a baby boy?"
The emperor seemed to understand what Chen Changan meant and sneered, "So what? It's a pity that it will eventually be for you to continue the Chen family's lineage!"
Chen Changan clapped his hands and laughed: "This is the crux of the problem. You all think that only boys can carry on the family line, but why can't daughters do it?"
"I'm telling you this. From now on, all the sons born to the three royal daughters will have the surname Xiang. Isn't that the end of it?"
"If Xiang Wang wants to be the emperor, then he can be the emperor. If not, then he can pass the throne to his nephew."
"Isn't it? It's very simple!"
The emperor's breathing was rapid, his face was already bloodshot: "This, this... are you serious?"
