C45 A true monarch's heart

Wyon let out a sigh of relief. "So that's how it is. If it's really like that, then this Emperor Chu is a bit too beneficial."

"As far as I know, the Heavenly Secrets are filled with martial arts experts. Since the Chu Emperor wants Princess Xuanji's life that much, he would definitely use the sharp blade of the Heavenly Secrets Guard. "But not even a single hair of theirs was hurt, Wynne, do you think that's reasonable?"

"This ?" Wynand thought for a while and said softly, "It is indeed unreasonable for the king to say that."

Besides, when I was still a prince, I also came into contact with some martial artists. Indeed, those desperate people could sell their lives for money, but the price was outrageously high." Besides, when I was a prince, I had come into contact with some martial artists, yes, those desperate people could sell their lives for money, but the price was outrageously high.

"Does that mean King Rui is really lying to His Majesty?" As soon as he finished his words, Wynn's face suddenly changed. He blurted out, "Then Lord Jiang ?"

Dong Fang Qian's eyes narrowed as he slowly said, "Jiang Yue is helping Seventh Brother to deceive me."

Wyon frowned his old face and said, "This old servant gets more and more confused the more I hear. King Rui has always been alone, when did he befriend Lord Jiang? Also, since King Rui can't afford to sell his life to those outlaws, who helped him escape? After all, he was not the only one who managed to carve a path of blood from the West Chu. "

"Of course not." Dongfang Qian stared at the window shadows at his feet, and said word by word, "I suspect that I've always been thinking in the wrong direction regarding the God of Fortune camp."

The corners of Wynne's eyes twitched, and he said shakily, "Your Majesty is saying ?" The Mysterious Camp is here... "" No, no "On..." He was still unable to say the last few words.

"It's in the hands of Seventh Bro!" Dong Fang spoke up on his behalf, and a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time.

Wyon looked at Dongfang Qian in a daze. His excessive shock made him forget about the humility and avoidance of a servant. Only after a long while did he regain his senses, and hurriedly shook his head, "This ? This doesn't make sense, how could the late emperor pass the Divine Battalion to King Rui? When the late emperor was still alive, he was the one who received the most respect from the princes. From the manor that was given to King Rui, this ? "It was even the empress dowager and late emperor who asked for it."

Dongfang Ru also had the same doubts. That's right, Imperial Father didn't hesitate to meet with Seventh Brother, so how could he possibly hand over such an important opportunity camp to him?

"Also ?" This old servant has always been by the side of the late emperor. In the last days of the late emperor, he had never summoned King Rui. The Consort Chen that Wynn spoke of was the current Grand Concubine Cheng, Dongfang Shou's birth mother.

"Really?"

"This old servant may be old, but his brain can still be considered bright. I clearly remember that before the late emperor passed away, he only called upon the four leaders, namely King Xin, King Rong, King An, and King Mu. There was no King Rui."

Seeing the doubt on Dongfang Fei's face, Huaien only said that he didn't believe his own words. He hurriedly added, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe this old servant's words, you can summon the people from the palace that served at Cheng De Palace to interrogate him."

Dongfang Xi waved his hand and said, "When royal father was still alive, you had always helped me out. How could I not believe you? If it was not the God's camp, then how could Seventh Brother break through the layers of defenses of the West Chu? "

Wyon entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and at the age of thirty he entered Chengde Palace to serve. For the next twenty years, he had gained the trust of the Chengde Palace.

Wynn had been in the palace for many years, and he was well aware of the principle of "one court and one court official". Therefore, many years ago, he had already started secretly making friends with Donggong, who was then the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. The two of them had a very close relationship, and Wynn often reminded him in secret, making it possible for Donggong to take the initiative and win the favor of the emperor whenever they played right in front of Emperor Cheng; it was precisely because of this relationship that after his succession, he had stayed by his side and acted as his confidant.

Wyon shook his head as he thought for a moment.: "I couldn't figure it out." Saying that, he said with regret:

"It's all my fault for being useless. If I had overheard the words of the late emperor when he summoned the other princes, His Majesty wouldn't have ended up like this. However, I really didn't think that His Majesty would not have passed on the divine luck camp to His Majesty."

When the Cheng Emperor summoned Dong Fang Qian and the other three, everyone was sent out, including Huai En. Thus, only they knew of their conversation.

Starting from the founding of the Northern Zhou Empire, the Shen Ji Camp had been the sharpest blade in the hands of those in power.

If word of this spread out, it would be very disadvantageous to him, and might even shake his rule. Therefore, Dongfang Fei had made a strict order to seal off this information, and only a few people knew of it, among whom Wyon was one of the few.

"Father deliberately hid this from everyone, how could you possibly hear it?" With the thin wall of light hanging over him, Dongfang Shaoyang's thoughts went back to that summer two years ago ?

For twenty-three years, he and all the princes had knelt outside Cheng De Palace to pray for the life of Cheng Di. However, they both knew in their hearts that the death of Cheng Di was only a matter of time.

Sure enough, in the evening, Wyon, who was holding a comb brush, walked out and invited the four of them in. As expected, in the evening, Wyon, who was holding a comb, walked out and invited the four of them in.

On the fifth time they had walked out of the hall, Wyon finally arrived in front of Dong Fang Rou who had been waiting for a long time, and respectfully said: "Your highness, His Majesty has invited you in."

"Thank you, Eunuch." Dongfang Ru propped up his numb legs and followed him towards the inner palace. When they passed by no one, he softly asked, "Eunuch, why has royal father summoned big brother and the rest?"

No one knows what they are discussing, but according to this servant's guess, they should be trying to help His Highness manage the Great Zhou. Although His Majesty's health hasn't been very good over the past two years, his heart is still as clear as a mirror. It's clear who is human and who is a demon.

Dong Fang Qian nodded his head and stepped into the inner hall. What entered his vision was a grey and defeated face. The once domineering and majestic face now belonged to Cheng Di. Right now, he was only a dying old man.

Empress Wei and a few of her favorite concubines stood on one side, tears streaming down their faces. The imperial physician knelt on the other side. Even if he expended all of his power, he wouldn't be able to keep the emperor alive, who had ruled over North Zhou for 23 years.

No matter if it was the commoners or the generals, none of them could escape from the cycle of life and death ?

"Crown Prince." Her hazy eyes looked towards Dongfang Ru, who came back to her senses. She quickly walked over and knelt down on the bed, her eyes bloodshot. "Your son is here."
