A poor family counterattacks, she is beautiful and sassy on the way to the imperial examination

Chapter 256 Chapter 256

Seeing that An Chuxia didn't seem to know Lan Xuanjiu really, Si Heng's eyes became even more confused. He had heard Mu Tan mention that Lan's evildoer had a crush on her the other day.

Although Lan Xuanjiu was raised by his mother as a daughter when he was a child, he didn't grow up to play with them young masters in the capital.

But because he and Mu Tan played together when they were young, Mu Tan and Lan's family were cousins, and occasionally he would follow Mu Tan to the Zhen Guohou's Mansion, and because of the similar age, he and Lan Xuanjiu were old acquaintances.

"You really don't know Lan Xuanjiu?"

"After high school, I didn't stay in the capital for long before I was exiled to other places. I have never met anyone from the Lan family of Zhen Guohou's mansion. How could I know them?"

"Judging from your tone, it seems like I should know him!" An Chuxia said.

Si Heng's eyes flickered, Mu Tan and An Chuxia should not have lied, it seems that there is something he doesn't know about.

"Yes, why did you ask him?"

An Chuxia didn't care too much about Si Heng's inexplicable just now, she still had a lot of trust in Si Heng, so she said: "I guess the second princess took the throne this time because she didn't get the edict from Emperor Qing'an and forcibly ascended to the throne."

"How did you see it?!"

"Heh, you didn't realize that the second princess only sent the official document of her ascension to the throne to the local government, but did not hold the enthronement ceremony.

This can explain the problem very well. First, she did not get the approval of the emperor to get the imperial edict.

Second, if my guess is correct, the Jade Seal, which represents imperial power, has not yet been obtained by the second princess. "

Si Heng looked at the light in An Chuxia's eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked softly, "How do you know that?"

"General Si, I didn't realize that the second imperial daughter has not issued an imperial edict since she called herself the empress."

"There is no imperial decree stamped with a jade seal, and it is undoubtedly waste paper.

After each new emperor ascends the throne, he will show kindness and exempt the common people from taxes in those years, and the two imperial edicts expressing benevolence and amnesty to the world have not been issued, isn't it very strange? "

"What you said is reasonable, so what does it have to do with the young master Lan Xuanjiu you asked about?"

An Chuxia glanced at Si Heng, saw that he was still looking at her with the seriousness that only belonged to a soldier as usual, and then continued:
"I want to know under such circumstances, will the Lan family, which owns one-third of the military power in Dongling, still obey the orders of the second queen who is now on the throne with a wrong name and bad words."

"No!" Si Heng said firmly without the slightest hesitation.

"Why do you know?" It was An Chuxia's turn to ask in confusion.

Si Heng looked at the doubt in An Chuxia's eyes, and then explained: "Military families like us for many generations only obey the emperor's orders. They don't care about which emperor's heir sits on the supreme position when the imperial power changes.

But there is a premise that you have worshiped the ancestral temple and announced it to the world, so that we will obey the imperial edict of the new emperor.

If a random prince or princess proclaims himself emperor and asks us to obey orders, it will be a mess. "

"That's why I'm sure that the Lan family of Zhen Guohou will not obey an emperor who can't even issue a formal imperial edict."

"Oh, so that's the case, so I can rest assured." After listening to Si Heng's explanation, An Chuxia really relaxed.

"It's too far away from the imperial city, and we won't be able to find out more detailed information. We'll go back to the valley first and then discuss our future plans." Si Heng suggested.

An Chuxia nodded and stood up, and the two walked towards the Yixian Valley.

.........

In the Imperial Palace of the capital, Emperor Qing'an's bedroom, following the sound of Emperor Qing'an lying on the dragon bed coughing violently, Rong Ling opened the small medicine box that Emperor Qing'an usually took, and the pills in it were gone.

Rong Ling was terrified when he thought of the day when the fifth prince joined forces with his family and his party members to start a palace chaos, and was finally strangled by the second prince who was late to strike at the Golden Temple.

No one expected that the second princess, who had always shown herself to be weak, would collude with Wang Fu, the most elite Huben army commander who stayed behind in the capital.

During this period of time, Rong Ling heard that the youngest son of the Second Emperor's girl was not the son of his Zhengjun, but the son of Wang Qiao, the commander of the Huben Army.

It seems that the second princess, who has always been honest and responsible, has premeditated plans for the throne.

I'm afraid she also knew that if His Majesty had known that she had a relationship with Wang Chi, he would not have been unprepared against the second princess, and let her take advantage of the chaos so easily to take control of the palace.

Judging from the fact that the second princess was able to order people to wash all the rebels in the hall, even the fifth prince and concubine Shu could not escape the fate of being beheaded in front of the emperor.

She is not only scheming, but also cruel and cruel in her bones.

His Majesty also vomited blood angrily because he didn't stop the second princess from killing the fifth prince, and was later trapped in the palace by the second queen because the emperor was seriously ill.

Rong Ling looked at Emperor Qing'an who had fallen into a coma, the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and he couldn't help getting wet.

Since His Majesty was unwilling to write down the edict of abdication and hand over the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, the Second Empress no longer asked the imperial physician to see His Majesty.

Emperor Qing'an's cough has become more and more serious these days, and now he has finished the remaining medicine, Rong Ling feels uncomfortable looking at the empty medicine box.

Who would have thought that a generation of emperors would be forced to such an extent that even Xuan Tai's doctor was not allowed to see a doctor.

Just when Rong Ling was sad, he heard that the window of Emperor Qing'an's palace near the garden was gently pushed open and a small cloth bag was stuffed in.

Surprised, Rong Ling cautiously walked over and opened the window a crack, but there was no one in sight except the blooming flowers and plants.

He knelt down to open the cloth bag and saw that there were about ten small porcelain bottles inside, with instructions on the pills for what symptoms were posted on them.

Just when Rong Ling was thinking about who sent these medicines, he heard the guard at the gate greeting him, Rong Ling knew that it was too late for him to find a more secluded place to hide the medicines.

He hurriedly looked up and saw the bulging ornamental bottle on the shelf, and at the critical moment, Rong Ling stuffed the small package into it.

He hurriedly ran to Emperor Qing'an's bedside, and burst into tears, his grief was no less than that of his own father who died.

While crying, he murmured softly: "My lord! It's useless to be an old slave. After you've finished taking the medicine, the old slave has nowhere to find it for you again..."

The second princess walked in with someone and saw Rong Ling, holding an empty small medicine box in his hand, kneeling beside the bed and crying softly.

She walked up to the dragon bed, looked at Emperor Qing'an whose face had turned ashen, with a look of disdain on her lips, and gestured to a person dressed as an imperial doctor beside her.

The man took out a silver needle and walked towards Emperor Qing'an, Rong Ling hurriedly stopped in front of the bed, with fear in his eyes, but his body still firmly refused to let the man approach, "What do you want to do to Your Majesty?"
