Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Seeing that Liu Yunxiang agreed so happily, the Taoist stretched out his hand to grab the words.

Liu Yunxiang dodged and sneered: "1 taels. To be honest, this painting is not worth it. If you say one more thing, we can only offer 5000 taels."

The Taoist priest opened his mouth, thinking that it was just a piece of calligraphy. Although it was given by a noble in the palace, Concubine Jing had been dead for more than two years, and the longer the calligraphy was kept, the less valuable it became.

It was not like he had never sold this painting before. The highest the buyers paid was 100 taels, which was a far cry from that.

He thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand.

Liu Yunxiang did not hesitate, slapped 1 taels of silver into his hand, then took Concubine Li and left.The two of them walked out of the mountain gate and walked along the path in the forest to Bao'an Temple.

Carrying this calligraphy was like carrying a thousand kilograms of weight. The two of them walked in a hurry, fearing that something would happen on the way.It wasn't until they returned to Bao'an Temple and entered the Zen room that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Girl, I just sent the eighth girl to the back mountain to meet Aunt Bai." Zi Jin was worried about Liu Yunxiang, so he came back to check on her first.

Seeing that the two of them were panting, Zijin poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Liu Yunxiang took a sip and told Zijin to go to the door and guard it, "Someone is coming. Give us a warning in advance."

"Yes."

After Zijin went out, Liu Yunxiang put the scroll in his sleeve on the table. When he was about to open it, Concubine Li suddenly grabbed her arm.Liu Yunxiang looked up and saw her staring at her closely.

"what happened?"

"Who are you?" Concubine Li said, shaking her head, "You can't be just a palace maid."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and told her his true identity without hiding anything.

Concubine Li's eyes widened when she learned that she was actually Da Rong's queen mother.

"W-Why are you here?"

"I came to save my husband, the King of Zhenbei. He was with Tuoba Siqi, which is why I knew about the edict of passing the throne. You didn't ask at the time, so I didn't say much."

Concubine Li nodded, "So that's it."

Liu Yunxiang unfolded the scroll and first touched it with his hands to identify the raised areas. Then he took scissors and carefully cut the edges of the calligraphy. Sure enough, there was an interlayer.

Slowly pulling out the silk from the mezzanine, it turned out to be an edict of succession.

Seeing the words on it, the two were shocked and relieved.

As expected, the late emperor passed the throne to the acting king Tuoba Siqi. Because he rejected the throne, the late emperor had no choice but to let the eldest prince succeed to the throne. However, he still retained the edict of succession, leaving a way for the acting king and Xiyue.

"What should we do next?" Concubine Li asked.

"Find a way to deliver the edict to the king."

"The king is imprisoned in a house, and there are guards outside. It is not easy to see him."

"Well, let's figure it out together."

Concubine Li shook her head, "I have a way."

"what?"

"All it takes is one person to help us."

Liu Yunxiang was about to ask someone when there was movement outside. She quickly put away the imperial edict and the painting. As soon as she finished cleaning, someone pushed the door open and came in.

Liu Yunxiang looked over and saw a man in his fifties wearing a purple brocade robe. His hair was gray, but he was strong and had the air of a scholar.His face was majestic, but when he saw Concubine Li, his eyes softened immediately.

"Rongrong, I heard that you are not feeling well, have you called a doctor?"

When Concubine Li saw the person coming, she immediately stood up and rushed over, "Dad!"

Liu Yunxiang was confused for a moment, and then he realized that this should be the powerful Xia Shouxiu.A person who made the Western Vietnamese Emperor fearful and made Concubine Li respected in the palace.

Xia Shoufu patted Concubine Li on the forehead, "I know you are lying." Concubine Li frowned, "You want me to chant sutras and pray for her, is she worthy?"

Xia Shoufu frowned, "The dead one is the most important."

"Dad, you don't know what she did to me."

Concubine Li took Xia Shoufu to sit down and told Xia Shoufu one by one what happened in the past few days, as well as the fact that her imperial son was harmed by the emperor.But when he said this, Xia Shouxu was furious and looked at Liu Yunxiang.

"Dad, she is the Queen Mother of Darong. She has been helping me."

Hearing Liu Yunxiang's identity, Xia Shoufu was stunned for a moment, and then asked uncertainly: "Really?"

When Concubine Li revealed her identity, Liu Yunxiang felt that it was a bit reckless, because she was not familiar with this Xia Shoufu and did not know his personality. Concubine Li's statement like this might bring her danger.

But since he already knew it, Liu Yunxiang had no need to hide it.

"I'm."

Xia Shoufu looked at Liu Yunxiang again and said, "The King of Zhenbei didn't tell me that his princess is also in Xiyue and is still in the palace."

Liu Yunxiang asked hurriedly: "Have you met Yan Mu?"

"Well, he's still alive and well."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "Thank you Xia Shoufu for taking care of me."

"I didn't take care of him. It's just that the [-] Zhenbei Army was eyeing Dingbeiguan, so the West Vietnamese court had to give him preferential treatment."

"Like this." She knew that Yan Mu would try to save himself.

"Dad, please listen to me. I can understand this virtuous concubine harming the emperor's son, but why the emperor harmed his own son, I have never been able to figure this out..."

Xia Shoufu raised his hand and interrupted Concubine Li, "You said that the emperor was the real culprit who killed the third prince. How did you know?"

"Dad, you don't believe it?"

"Who told you that?"

"We only found Concubine Xian at first, but the emperor was afraid that Concubine Xian would expose him, so he pushed her down from the turret with evil hands. Concubine Xian only knew how cruel the emperor was before she died, so she told the emperor that she had instigated She told the truth about killing the third prince."

Xia Shoufu's face darkened, "Seriously?"

"Dad, I can still lie to you!"

"Dad is afraid that you will be taken advantage of."

As for who was being used, Liu Yunxiang naturally thought of himself, so he said: "Xia Shoufu, this is your internal matter in West Vietnam, and we don't want to get involved. When I came to West Vietnam, I just wanted to save my husband. The Emperor is I believe you know better than Concubine Li what kind of person she is."

"I'll look into this matter."

"father!"

"If he is really the emperor, dad will never let him go!"

After Xia Shoufu left, Liu Yunxiang asked Concubine Li to stabilize her mood first while they planned what happened next.

Liu Yunxiang was worried about Liang Yu. After Xia Shoufu left, she asked Zijin to take her to the back mountain.

There was a pavilion in the back hill. As soon as Liu Yunxiang turned the corner, he heard Liang Yu crying from a distance.This cry is sad and makes people feel sad even if they hear it.

She must know about her cousin's murder.

Liu Yunxiang walked over and saw Liang Yu being held in Aunt Bai's arms, and Aunt Bai couldn't stop crying.

"Resentful mother, mother is too cowardly and failed to protect you. When she was pregnant with you, she knew what kind of face the Liang family was, so she took you away. Although our lives were harder, we were still far apart than we are now. It's good." (End of chapter)
