The metal candlestick hit the alloy chain, sparks bursting out and unable to shake it at all.
"it's useless."
Lin'er smiled bitterly, shook her head and said: "Get out of here quickly, if someone discovers it, you will definitely be implicated"
For three years.
She has been kept in this dark wing, and there are usually a large number of forbidden palace envoys guarding her surroundings.
Lin'er knew it very well.
If it weren¡¯t for the late emperor¡¯s death and the large number of guards being transferred, even if Xuanyuan Qiong could find her way here, she would never have had the chance to approach him easily.
"Damn"
The forehead was covered with sweat.
Xuanyuan Qiong had a stubborn expression and said with tears in her eyes: "Lin'er, don't be afraid, wait for me for a while, I will definitely find a way to rescue you!"
Stop talking.
The girl in front of her gritted her teeth, turned around, left the dark wing, and ran towards the other side of the palace without any explanation.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Qiong had only one thought in her mind, and that was to ask the regent, who was in the ascendant, to use the power in his hands to release Lin'er from the prison.
This is also the only feasible solution she can think of at this stage!
At the same moment¡ª¡ª
Located in the Shangshu Room on the east side of the palace.
Xuanyuan Longcheng, the newly promoted Emperor of Yong'an in the Great Xia Empire, is living in the same room as the regent who has overwhelming power.
All the guards and servants were driven out, and only two people looked at each other in the huge study.
"It's been hard work for the emperor these days."
Sitting in front of the dragon chair.
The high-spirited Xuanyuan Longcheng wore a dragon robe, unfolded his sleeves, and said with a smile: "My father passed away suddenly. If my uncle hadn't stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation, I would have been unable to secure the throne. The merits are truly due to hard work.¡±
"Your Majesty, you are serious."
I heard the underlying meaning in the other person¡¯s words.
The regent quickly raised his hands, bowed respectfully, and said humbly: "As a descendant of the royal family, I have been entrusted by the late emperor to solve your majesty's problems."
There was a pause.
Xuanyuan Zhong emphasized: "Everything is just a matter of course, so how can we say that hard work is better than merit."
???????????????????????
The regent is well aware of the rules and dangers involved.
Having great achievements is not a good thing most of the time, and it is very likely to bring disaster to oneself.
"Haha, the emperor is so humble."
??Smile slightly.
Xuanyuan Longcheng picked up the tea cup on the dragon table and tasted it in small sips.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Both of them fell into a long silence, and the awkward and subtle atmosphere spread instantly.
The entire Shangshu room suddenly fell into silence, like the moment of tranquility before a storm. It was unsettling and filled with a subtle sense of crisis.
"Your Majesty."
? was the first to break the silence.
The regent's face remained unchanged and he asked bluntly: "I suddenly summoned my old minister overnight. I don't know why?"
"It's nothing"
Put down the crystal clear purple gold teacup.
Xuanyuan Longcheng smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Today I summoned the emperor's uncle not for state affairs, but for family matters."
"Family matters?" The regent frowned, his expression slightly astonished.
"good."
He raised his head and gave the other party a deep look.
Xuanyuan Longcheng raised his brows lightly and said calmly: "I still remember that when the late emperor was in power, there was a special group of royal family members who were fostered in the 'Zong Renyuan' in Da Nei."
"Emperor Father once said that they are the remnants of those who failed in the fight against the late Emperor decades ago"
Narrowing your eyes.
Xuanyuan Longcheng's eyes were full of gloom, and he said in a deep voice: "I have just ascended the throne, and I have been a little worried in recent days. After all, these people have royal blood, and if they are used by someone with intentions, they may become a disaster for our Great Xia Empire. "
Hear the words.
"The regent has had a lot of experience, and his psychological quality is far beyond ordinary people, but he still couldn't help but froze in place.
"Uncle, you are a highly respected person"
There was a biting chill between his brows.
Xuanyuan Long Chenggu made a troubled expression and asked: "What do you think these people should do?"What is the best setting? "
Pointed questions.
It was like a depth charge, thrown into the calm water without warning.
Clench your fists.
The regent was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer this complicated question.
From a national level, Xuanyuan Longcheng¡¯s worries are not unreasonable.
As the saying goes, a teacher has a reputation.
Once someone wants to take the opportunity to rebel, as long as they support one of the descendants of the royal family as a puppet and start a rebellion in their name, at least legally, it is completely defensible.
From this perspective.
Those descendants of the royal family who were defeated in the battle for the right to inherit the throne are undoubtedly a huge trouble.
But, they are descendants of the Xuanyuan family after all.
Like Emperor Yong'an and the regent, they are all brothers of the same clan and have the same blood in their bodies. How to deal with these people properly is particularly difficult at this moment.
Should we simply kill them all to death, or should they choose to be deported? !
No matter which method is used, it is basically equivalent to a death sentence for these down-and-out royal families.
"Your Majesty."
??Take a deep breath.
The regent stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said, "Decades have passed since the battle for the inheritance, and those guilty people have long since turned into a trace of loess."
"To this day, their direct descendants know nothing about that past"
He pondered for a moment.
Xuanyuan Zhong simply said frankly: "Those descendants of the royal family will not die for their crimes. Why should we continue to trace the mistakes committed by our ancestors back to them?"
"Your Majesty, who has just ascended the throne, should govern the world with benevolence, virtue and generosity. Only in this way can the country be preserved forever, and the people of the world will be sincerely convinced."
As soon as these words came out.
Xuanyuan Longcheng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was slightly startled. The tea set in his hand accidentally fell from his hands and fell straight to the ground.
There was a snap~~.
The crystal clear teacup shattered instantly. The sound was crisp and clear, but it made people feel uneasy.
next moment¡ª¡ª
A group of Forbidden Palace envoys immediately rushed into the study from outside the door.
When he looked at the regent on one side, his eyes were obviously full of inexplicable wariness.
¡°Be bold, let you rush in (remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
