Chapter 115

"Qin Shuang?" Su Hailing looked at the person who came over in surprise.

"Your Highness!" Lan Qinshuang said anxiously, "Is King An bound?"

"You haven't met her?" Su Hailing's heart sank. He had a bad feeling when he saw Lan Qinshuang coming by himself just now, and it was true.

Lan Qinshuang shook her head, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that King An already has doubts about the Lan family?"

"Probably not." Lan Qinshuang also frowned.

Su Hailing couldn't figure it out. According to common sense, if Su Yuling wanted to turn defeat into victory, he must pin his hopes on Lan Qinshuang. After all, Lan Jing was loyal to her, and Lan Qinshuang was also transferred to the capital to change defense.But at this moment, Su Yuling was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that a flaw was seen somewhere?

"I have already sent my confidants to search the imperial city, as long as she is still in the palace, there will be nothing to hide." Lan Qinshuang said.

"En." Su Hailing nodded, but felt intuitively in his heart that Su Yuling might not be in the palace anymore.

"I also sent people to watch over Prince An's Mansion," Lan Qinshuang said again.

"Understood, how is the battle going?" Su Hailing asked.

"I just remembered to ask now?" Lan Qinshuang said angrily.

"Since you have come to see me, you must have controlled the situation." Su Hailing said with a smile, "It's the process, it doesn't matter if you listen early or late."

Lan Qinshuang gave her a white look, and after a while said depressedly: "The situation in the capital is almost in our hands, but when the King of Jin fled, he set fires along the way and burned down many houses. The northern area is still in chaos. I have sent people to Go suppress the situation."

Su Hailing sighed helplessly. Although this is not a real war, the common people will always be the least pitied.

"Your Highness really had the foresight to transport grain to the capital in advance." Lan Qinshuang praised, "Meng Ruyan has led people to resettle the people affected by the disaster, distributed food, cleared the fire site and prepared to rebuild houses. The capital will not be in chaos."

"That's good." Su Hailing nodded, and said to Ouyang Xun who came over, "Director Ouyang, please help General Lan to quell the turmoil in the palace."

"Yes, rest assured, Your Highness, before dawn, the palace will be quiet." Ouyang Xun said solemnly.

If she was only entrusted by the Queen and Prime Minister Qin before, then now she is completely convinced by the new master.Such far-sightedness, such peerless elegance, people can't help but think of the pride of the holy emperor Su Jie pointing at the world with a smile 300 years ago.

Su Hailing, the new Empress will definitely be able to take Dayong to go further. Maybe she can realize the unification of the world that the Holy Emperor failed to achieve...

"Let's go back to Chaoyun Palace first." Su Hailing hugged Situ Ye and said.

"I'd better go outside and have a look." Mei Junhan said.

"Be careful." Su Hailing instructed.

"There are really few people in this world who can hurt me." Mei Junhan let out a smirk, and disappeared into the night in a flash.

"Your Highness, please prepare." Ouyang Xun said, "A country cannot be without a king for a day. Tomorrow morning, His Highness will attend the early court and read His Majesty's imperial edict in public."

"I see." With a flash of light in Su Hailing's eyes, he led Mu Qingchen and Mu Xin out of the blood-stained Fengning Palace.

"Is it over?" Mu Qingchen sighed softly.

"Well, it's over." Su Hailing nodded vigorously.Although there are still some small troubles, they will not have much impact on the overall situation.In other words, the dust has settled, and tomorrow, when the sun rises, she will be Dayong's new master.

Regardless of the panicked maids and servants he met along the way, when he returned to Chaoyun Palace, Su Hailing sent Situ Ye back to the room first, and then checked the wound, seeing that there was no second rupture, he was relieved.

Seeing Situ Ye's face falling asleep because of the drug, she couldn't help sighing again.

Mu Qingchen sat on the edge of the bed and felt his pulse.

"How is it?" Su Hailing asked.To be honest, she didn't believe in the medical skills of those imperial doctors.

"Fortunately, I avoided most of the power." Mu Qingchen said, "When the trauma is healed, take a few more medicines to recuperate. It's just that the wound on the back is too big, and I'm afraid it will leave a scar in the future. Wait for him to wake up and see Let's see what he can do."

"It's good that people are fine." Su Hailing smiled, scars have nothing to do with it, if in modern times, a real man would have a few scars!

"Then I'll go to rest first." Mu Qingchen stood up.

"Sleep well, don't think too much." Su Hailing gently kissed him on the cheek.

"Get out!" Mu Qingchen gave him an angry look, and took Mu Xin back to his room.

Su Hailing chuckled, turned his head and said, "How long do you want to pretend to be asleep?"

After a while, Situ Ye's eyes moved and slowly opened, but he was full of doubts and disbelief: "How can you tell? Even Mu Qingchen, who is proficient in medical skills, was deceived by me."

Su Hailing smiled but didn't answer. She was a special soldier. Extorting confessions and counter-extorting confessions were compulsory courses. If she couldn't tell whether a person was asleep or awake, she would have been kicked out of the army by Su Jianguo long ago.

"If you don't say it, don't say it, it's rare!" Situ Ye curled his lips, and when he moved his body, he touched the wound, his face turned pale with pain, and fine beads of sweat ooze from his forehead.

"Still moving around when you're injured!" Su Hailing hurriedly held him down.

"I want to drink water." Situ Ye said with a bitter face.

"Lie down obediently and don't move, I'll get it for you." Su Hailing said, got up and poured a glass of warm water back, carefully supported his body, and brought the glass to his lips.

Situ Ye sipped the water in small sips, and the atmosphere in the room fell silent.

"Okay, you've lost too much blood, so you can't drink that much all at once." Regardless of his helpless expression, Su Hailing firmly took away the glass that still had half a glass of water left.

"Stingy!" Situ Ye said angrily.

"You rarely lie on the bed?" Su Hailing raised his eyebrows.

"I'm already hurt, and you won't be gentle!" Situ Ye pouted, accusing all over his face.

Su Hailing was taken aback for a moment, only to find that his bright eyes were filled with mist, and his heart softened.

"I like you, I just like you!" Situ Ye recklessly grabbed her sleeve, his face full of stubbornness.

"Have you thought it through?" Su Hailing asked after being silent for a while.

"I've thought it through very clearly!" Situ Ye said without hesitation, "I didn't want to be a pawn, so I ran away, but I chose you myself, so there are so many of you! In a word, Do you want me or not!"

Su Hailing looked at him stupidly, could it be that the disintegration of Leng Yufeng's demon broke his brain?
"You're stupid!" Situ Ye said angrily.

"You..." Su Hailing ruffled his hair with a laugh, "Let's talk about it after you recover from your injury."

"Don't!" Situ Ye hugged her arm anxiously, "I don't want to wait any longer, you must give me an answer today, or...do I really annoy you that much?"

Su Hailing smiled wryly, and was afraid that his wound would burst again, so he didn't dare to struggle, so he could only let him hold him.

But, do you like him... She can't tell if she really likes him.Maybe there should be. At that moment just now, she almost thought that she would lose him. The fear, the anger that almost wanted everyone to be buried with him, and the trace of happiness that surged from the bottom of her heart when she saw that he was safe, seemed to be more than just friends. Simple.

However, love?She was a little dazed, as if there were still some differences between Situ Ye, Mu Qingchen, Mei Junhan, and Haoyue. Is this also love?
"Let's go..." Situ Ye's heart sank little by little when she saw that she hadn't spoken for a long time.

Slowly sending his hands away, his pale face was even less blood-colored.

It turns out... After all, he was the one who made himself sentimental. In that person's heart, he really didn't exist at all.

"Situ, you misunderstood." Su Hailing came back to his senses, and seeing his expression, he knew that he was thinking wrong, "I don't hate you, it's just... now I don't know if I really love you."

Hearing this, Situ Ye's gloomy eyes glowed again: "Really?"

Su Hailing caressed his long hair, thought for a while before saying: "When your wound heals, you can go home."

"What?" Situ Ye almost jumped up.

"Listen to me." Su Hailing held him down and continued, "Situ Ye died three years ago. You are a distant relative of the Situ family. You came to Beijing to seek refuge with Master Situ, understand?"

"Understood." Situ Ye nodded, but said, "And then?"

"After I ascend the throne, the Ministry of Etiquette will definitely hold a draft. As the son of the Shangshu Mansion, you are qualified to enter the palace." Su Hailing sighed softly.

"I understand." Situ Ye lowered his eyes slightly, with a hint of bitterness in his tone.

He understood Su Hailing's intentions, and he wasn't afraid that restoring his identity would cause trouble or anything. In fact, quite a few people knew that he was alive.She was doing it for Mu Qingchen... because if Situ Ye was still alive, he would still be the rightful monarch whom the previous empress had proposed for her to marry, and no one could change it.She wanted to leave the position of Empress Feng to Mu Qingchen.

However, Situ Ye did not complain.

In those three years, when Su Hailing suffered from the lingering poison, she was with her, and the person who accompanied her was Mu Qingchen. In the end, although he had learned a lot of medical skills, he couldn't help her at all, and he was still Mu Qingchen. Without hesitation, he gave up his peerless martial arts to save her.

Situ Ye knew that such affection was incomparable.What's more, the marriage certificate and the jade bracelet were returned to her by himself.

"I don't want to be drafted, but the ancestral system... I don't have the strength to change it now." Su Hailing said, "There is always a cutscene, and choosing you and Junhan to enter the palace can also block the mouths of those ministers. It can kill two birds with one stone. .”

"You're pretty good at counting!" Situ Ye gave her a blank look, as a tacit consent.

He knew that he could not refuse such an arrangement.That's okay, as long as he can become her person in a legitimate way, he doesn't care about other things.As for the relationship...the foundation is already established, as long as it is cultivated slowly, it will naturally come to fruition.

The matter came to fruition, and soon, with a seriously injured body after all, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Su Hailing shook his head, carefully let him lie on the bed so as not to press on the wound, and then covered him with a soft feather quilt.

Walking out of the house, I saw a ray of dawn in the eastern sky.

The turmoil in the palace also gradually subsided, and the long night was finally coming to an end.

"Your Highness!" With a call, Ouyang Xun and Lan Qinshuang walked in side by side.

"What's the matter?" Su Hailing turned around and asked.

"This..." Ouyang Xun's expression was very strange.

"What's wrong?" Su Hailing asked inexplicably.

"Led by Prime Minister Qin, all civil and military officials have gathered at the Meridian Gate to request His Highness to ascend the throne with one voice." Lan Qinshuang replied.

"The news spread really fast." Su Hailing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lan Qinshuang, and smiled tacitly at each other.

They all knew that not many of these officials sincerely supported Su Hailing, and many of them were due to Prime Minister Qin's relationship.But now all the officials came to invite her to be enthroned at the same time... Thinking about it with my knees, it must be Murong Zi's hands and feet. I just hope she doesn't overdo it. Disturbing the country...

"Your Highness, please change your clothes and go to Fengwu Hall." Ouyang Xun said.

"I see, you guys..." Su Hailing nodded, before he could finish his sentence, suddenly, there was a loud "boom" in the distance, and half of the sky in the south was reflected red, and even the earth was shaking trembling.

"What's going on!" Ouyang Xun changed color.

"That direction seems to be Prince An's Mansion?" Lan Qinshuang said.

"Hurry up and send someone to find out!" Su Hailing's face sank like water, she knew that Su Yuling would not disappear like that, so what the hell did she do?How could there be such a big momentum!

"Yes!" Lan Qinshuang hurriedly turned around and left.

"Director Ouyang, please go to the Meridian Gate to appease the officials immediately, and come after I change clothes." Su Hailing said.

"Of order." Ouyang Xun took the order and went.

Su Hailing let out a sulking breath, feeling ruthless in her heart, if she sees Su Yuling again, she will never let her go easily!

Back in his bedroom, Mu Qingchen was startled by the loud noise just now.

Su Hailing comforted him for a while, let him continue to sleep, tidied himself up, and changed his blood-stained clothes.

After tidying up, when she walked out again, Lan Qinshuang and Mei Junhan just walked in together.

"Jun Han, what happened outside?" Su Hailing asked hastily.

"Prince An's Mansion exploded." Mei Junhan looked tired.

"What?" Su Hailing couldn't believe his ears, a majestic palace actually exploded?This is too absurd!

"The Imperial Army searched Prince An's Mansion, and when they entered the main hall, the entire hall exploded as soon as the lights were lit," Mei Junhan said in a deep voice.

Su Hailing's thoughts moved, and he couldn't help but look at him.

Mei Junhan nodded slightly.

Sure enough, it's the madness of the flames... Su Hailing's heart sinks, Su Yuling and the Phantom Gate are in collusion!Perhaps, Su Yuling also knew about the assassination of them in the mountain temple last time.

If this is the case, there will be some troubles in the future, and she will not be able to feel at ease if she does not catch all the bugs hidden in the dark.

"Your Highness, go to the Phoenix Dance Hall first, and leave this matter to me," Lan Qinshuang said.

"Okay." Su Hailing nodded. Indeed, the most important thing is to subdue those old guys. At least for the time being, Su Yuling can't afford to make trouble.

Looking up at the sky, perhaps because of the fire, the dawn of the day seemed to come very early.
