Chapter 206
Mo Ling pretended to be a green lock, and hurried to Xu's mansion, looking out of breath.

"Slave Qingsuo, I have met Master Xu!"

As the confidant of the champion marquis, Xu Guanhai watched Concubine Wan grow up, and immediately recognized the green lock in front of him as Concubine Wan's personal maid.

Qingsuo visited late at night, there must be something important.

"What orders does Concubine Wan have?" Xu Guanhai opened the door and asked directly.

"This is the letter that the empress asked the servants to deliver to Master Xu!"

Qingsuo handed over Ji Tianci's reformed letter to Xu Guanhai.

When Xu Guanhai opened the letter, the first thing he did was not to read the contents of the letter, but to recognize Concubine Wan's handwriting, acting very cautiously.

Only after confirming that the handwriting on the letter was indeed written by Concubine Wan herself did she read the contents of the letter.

The first half of the autograph letter was all within Xu Guanhai's expectation.

Let yourself inform Champion Hou, it's reasonable here. '

Concubine Wan had such a big event, and only when the queen came in person could she have a chance of survival.

But the second half of the autograph letter, the more Xu Guanhai read it, the more frightened he was.

In the letter, Concubine Wan hinted in various ways that Emperor Xiaoyuan was not in good health and that his life was not long, and she kept advocating that it was only natural for the crown prince to succeed to the throne.

At the end of the letter, Concubine Wan's few words made Xu Guanhai's heart even more turbulent.

Let Champion Hou lead his troops back to the imperial capital!
What is this for?
Xu Guanhai only felt that there was a thunderbolt in his mind, which almost turned his face pale with shock, and even the letter in his hand almost fell down.

rebel?

This was the first impression that emerged in Xu Guanhai's mind.

Leading the Zhen Guo army back to the imperial capital, how is this different from rebellion?

In Xu Guanhai's heart, a thick horror and a little panic flashed.

But soon, Xu Guanhai calmed down, thinking seriously about Concubine Wan's plan.

He discovered that what Concubine Wan said was not nonsense.

When she was at Xiangguo Temple last time, Concubine Wan once mentioned that Emperor Xiaoyuan was not in good health, and the relationship between men and women was far worse than when he was young.

Emperor Xiaoyuan is a great master, converted to the age of ordinary people, it should be the time of the heyday of spring and autumn.

When the Spring and Autumn Period was at its peak, but he was pure-hearted and ascetic, it was hard for Xu Guanhai not to think about it.

Perhaps, when Emperor Xiaoyuan really broke the limit, he hurt the root and left irreparable injuries.

If Emperor Xiaoyuan was injured, the crown prince and the queen might not be able to change the world of Wu by joining forces.

The more Xu Guanhai thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was promising.

In his eyes, a flame called ambition was ignited.

Xu Guanhai put away the letter, his expression was calm and flat, and he couldn't see the content of the letter that he was shocked by just now.

"Go back and tell Concubine Wan that the letter will have been received, please rest assured Concubine Wan."

"The servant knows!"

Qingsuo nodded, didn't say much, and took advantage of the night to leave Xu Mansion.

Not long after Qingsuo left, Xu Guanhai couldn't bear the excitement and thoughts in his heart, and went to the East Palace overnight.

The East Palace has been surrounded by the Royal Forest Army.

Not even a fly can get in.

Flies cannot fly in, but a great master can fly in.

The Imperial Forest Army outside the Eastern Palace seemed to be tightly guarded, but in front of the Grand Master Xu Guanhai, they were full of loopholes. It only took him ten breaths to pass through the heavy guards of the Imperial Forest Army and sneak into the Eastern Palace.

At this time, in the East Palace, the clouds were gloomy.

The eunuchs and maids felt like the sky was falling, and they were terrified.

As the owner of the East Palace, the crown prince had completely lost his fighting spirit, so he used wine to drown his sorrows. No matter how Mr. Dong beat the crown prince, it had no effect at all.

"Xu Guanhai, I have met the prince!"

Xu Guanhai's voice suddenly rang out under the darkness of night.

His sudden arrival caught the eyes of the prince and Mr. Dong.

The prince's face showed strong anger and resentment, and before Xu Guanhai could speak, he cursed like a shrew.

"What? Mr. Xu, a great master like you, are you here to mock Gu?"

"Is it a lonely look, and you are very happy?"

When Mr. Dong saw that the prince had offended Xu Guanhai to death as soon as he spoke, he shook his head repeatedly, feeling extremely disappointed in the prince.

It's just that as a counselor, even if the crown prince is gone now, he will do his best for the prince until he dies.

Mr. Dong got up quickly and explained to Xu Guanhai.

"Master Xu, the prince is drunk, please forgive me!"

"nonsense!"

"Alone drunk!"

"You all jumping beams and clowns, don't you just see that you are lonely and come to make trouble?"

Mr. Dong smiled wryly and continued to wipe the prince's butt.

"General Xu, don't pay attention to the prince's nonsense."

When Xu Guanhai heard the crown prince spraying manure, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

If it wasn't for the person in front of him, but for the current crown prince, who could still be used, he would have long been unable to control the anger in his heart, and slapped the crown prince to death.

But he is very aware of the value of the prince.

Before being officially abolished, the prince is still a prince, the prince of Wu, and the heir of Wu.

This is righteousness!
Once Emperor Xiaoyuan died suddenly, the prince succeeded to the throne, and it was logical.

It can be said that even if the crown prince is a fool, it is still very important to Xu Guanhai.

Because the prince symbolizes the legal system.

Therefore, Xu Guanhai could only pinch his nose and endure the prince's nonsense, but he even had to smile.

To put it bluntly, the prince's appearance of losing his fighting spirit is better, more subtle, and easier to control for them.

"His Royal Highness, I am here to discuss a major matter with you, Your Highness."

"What's the big deal? What's the big deal?"

"Gu is no longer the prince, and the big things have nothing to do with Gu!"

The prince continued to drink dull wine, with a look of no fighting spirit.

Xu Guanhai didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed Concubine Wan's personal letter to the prince.

After the prince read Concubine Wan's handwritten letter, the drunkenness in his eyes dissipated instantly.

Invite the champion to send troops!

This is……

rebel!

No, it's not a rebellion, it's the side of the Qing emperor!
If Champion Hou is really willing to send troops, with the support of Zhen Guojun, the most powerful army in Wu, Qing Jun may not fail.

For a moment, the drunkenness in the prince's eyes dissipated, and the previous clarity and ambition returned.

Mr. Dong naturally also discovered the changes in the prince. He was very curious, what did Concubine Wan write in the letter that would make the prince change so dramatically?

Ever since the crown prince returned to the East Palace, he has been depressed and drank to drink away his worries. No matter how he persuaded him, he had no fighting spirit and looked like he was waiting to die.

Now, he has regained his strength and regained his fighting spirit.

"Master Xu, is everything in the letter true?" The prince's face was full of excitement.

Xu Guanhai nodded and said earnestly: "Your Highness, this is Concubine Wan's handwritten letter, every word is precious."

"You also know that Master Hou loves Concubine Wan, and what Concubine Wan's words mean in Master Hou's heart?"

"As long as your Highness is willing to give enough bargaining chips, you will definitely be able to impress Lord Hou!"

Xu Guanhai's words can no longer be implied, but explicitly stated.

Want benefits!
Talk about conditions!
When the prince heard Xu Guanhai's conditions, instead of being angry, he nodded excitedly.

After all, it is a business of beheading, so there must be enough rewards.

If Xu Guanhai didn't even talk about the conditions, it would be deceitful.

"General Xu, how do you think you can impress Lord Hou?" The prince didn't want to think too much, and asked proactively.

"The five counties in the south are full of outstanding people. Lord Hou has said many times that he will go to the five counties in the south to retire in the future."

Five southern counties!

When the prince heard Xu Guanhai's condition, he frowned.

Champion Hou really has a big appetite.

There are only twelve counties in the country of Wu, and if they want to leave the five counties in the south in one go, they will almost take half of the foundation of the country of Wu.

Xu Guanhai had a big appetite, but the prince agreed without thinking about it.

In his opinion, he has nothing now and can only quietly wait for the trial of Emperor Xiaoyuan.

But if the Qing emperor succeeds, he will be the master of Wu, even if only the seven counties in the north are actually acquired, it will be a big profit.

At least seven counties in the north have been earned.

"General Xu, I have agreed to your condition!"

"Please be sure to convince the champion!"

Seeing that the prince is so knowledgeable about current affairs, Xu Guanhai has an aunt's smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will be able to convince Lord Hou!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Guanhai's figure flashed and disappeared into the East Palace.

The crown prince and Mr. Dong didn't even see clearly how Xu Guanhai left.

It wasn't until Xu Guanhai left that Mr. Dong couldn't help asking the prince.

"Your Highness, what exactly was written in Concubine Wan's letter?"

"It's nothing, just..."

"Qingjun's side!"

Mr. Dong's face was full of horror, his heart was engulfed by the turbulent waves.

……

Tai Chi Temple.

Emperor Xiao Yuan gazed into the distance with dark eyes, his deep and bottomless eyes seemed to be darker and deeper than his pitch-black eyes.

Liu Zhong walked up to Emperor Xiaoyuan with small steps, and whispered in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, a quarter of an hour ago, Concubine Wan's personal maid met Xu Guanhai, and then Xu Guanhai went to the East Palace to have a private meeting with the crown prince."

"Xu Guanhai is a great master and strong man, the slaves dare not get too close, and have not heard the content of his private meeting with the prince."

No matter Xu Guanhai, the prince, or Ji Tianci, none of them expected that everything that happened tonight was under the attention of Emperor Xiaoyuan.

Emperor Xiaoyuan didn't say much, and continued.

"anything else?"

"Before meeting Xu Guanhai, Qingsuo was knocked out by Wei Yanfeng and tied to the Fifth Prince's residence for a quarter of an hour."

"In addition, after Qingsuo was imprisoned in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Lin Daxian met His Highness the Fifth Prince overnight."

"Daxian Lin?"

Emperor Xiaoyuan frowned and asked, "What does he do?"

In Emperor Xiaoyuan's eyes, there was a hint of coercion.

This coercion was very light, but it brought great pressure to Liu Zhong's heart.

He lowered his head, not daring to hide anything.

"Your Majesty, Lin Daxian is a famous handwriting imitation master in Wu!"

After hearing Lin Daxian's identity, Emperor Xiaoyuan chuckled lightly.

"Who did Ci'er learn such an old and sinister personality from?"

"I act in a fair and honest way!"

Emperor Xiaoyuan sighed, as if lamenting the dishonor of Ji Tianci's methods.

Liu Zhong lowered his head, secretly cursing in his heart.

The character of the Fifth Prince is of course inherited from your Highness.

Your Highness, when you were young, you were more sinister than the fifth prince, otherwise how could you have killed the former prince?
It's just these words, Liu Zhong can only think secretly in his heart, even if he is given 1 courage, he dare not say it.

"Your Majesty, Xu Guanhai has left the imperial capital!"

"Do you want to stop him?"

Emperor Xiaoyuan looked at the sky in the distance, and there was already a hint of paleness in the eastern sky.

Under the light of the morning light, Emperor Xiao Yuan shook his head.

"Need not!"

"Let him go to Yinpingguan to meet the champion!"

Hearing Emperor Xiaoyuan's decision, Liu Zhong stopped talking.

In his opinion, Emperor Xiaoyuan naturally had his reasons for doing so.

As for the reason, how can he, a slave, say anything?
"Little Faithful, what do you think of me treating Champion Hou?" Emperor Xiao Yuan suddenly asked abruptly.

Liu Zhong was stunned by Emperor Xiaoyuan's question.

After savoring Emperor Xiaoyuan's question, Liu Zhong thought carefully, digesting the meaning behind what Emperor Xiaoyuan said, and spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, you are naturally very good to Emperor Xiaoyuan, and you are like brothers."

"Your Majesty, you and the champion Houjun, the sages and ministers, the mountains and rivers, the story between your majesty and the champion Hou is still being circulated among the people!"

"Yes! When I met Champion Hou, I was still a teenager."

"It is the Champion Hou who grows up with me, rises together, and wins the throne together."

"I also hope that I can be a monarch and minister with the champion for the rest of my life!"

"I hope he won't disappoint me!"

Emperor Xiaoyuan's gaze was deep and serene.

……

The Palace of the Three Princes.

The third prince stayed up all night, pacing back and forth in the study.

He launched the entire intelligence network overnight to inquire about the East Palace.

Ever since the Eastern Palace was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, various gossips were flying all over the sky, and in the market, there were various rumors that the prince would be deposed.

As a prince, the third prince naturally knows much more than ordinary people.

The prince attacked the envoys of the Han Kingdom at the gate of Honglu Temple.

This is what many officials have seen with their own eyes, and it is absolutely true.

It's just that he didn't understand, why did the prince attack Han's envoys?

Could it be because Su Zhijing put a cuckold on him?
This is too impatient!

For a mere woman, he lost his future.

In the eyes of the third prince, it was extremely stupid.

He also believed that the prince would never be so stupid.

Must have!

There must be something inside that he doesn't know about.

At this time, Luo Jiuding met the third prince overnight.

The moment he saw Luo Jiuding, the third prince rushed forward to greet him. Before Luo Jiuding saluted, he was helped up by the third prince.

"Mr. Luo, do you know the inside story about the East Palace?" The third prince asked urgently.

Luo Jiuding stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

"Third Highness, I have heard some gossip in the East Palace."

"It's just that it has not been confirmed, and I can't guarantee the authenticity of these rumors."

"Mr. Luo, just say it, I will judge alone!"

"Third Prince, there is a gossip circulating in the East Palace that the Crown Prince is having an affair with Concubine Wan, and was discovered by Su Zhijing."

"The crown prince attacked Han's envoys just to kill people!"

Hearing this explosive news, the third prince's eyes widened, full of horror.

The turmoil in his heart lasted for a long time before the third prince calmed down a little and turned his head to ask.

"Where is Xu Guanhai at this time?"

"Your Highness, Xu Guanhai has returned to Yinping Gate overnight!"

"Sure enough, the champion will also intervene in this matter!" The third prince said with a long breath. He didn't believe that the champion would sit back and watch his most beloved daughter be thrown into limbo.

"Let our people watch every move of Yinpingguan!"

"I want to keep track of Champion Hou's movements!"
