Fu Zhen and the others stood up: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"What nonsense? I just heard it! Just now in the Qianqing Palace, the Emperor was having an audience with the Minister of Rites. He said the issue of succession would be postponed, and he also said that since the Crown Prince is still alive, the throne must be inherited by the Crown Prince!"
Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan exchanged glances, surprised that the Emperor made a decision so quickly. But it was understandable, since that night, after the Empress disclosed everything, there was nothing left to hide.
King Yan was originally not a mber of the royal family, and furthermore, he had been tainted, so he definitely couldn’t be the Crown Prince.
Who else besides Yang Yi could take this throne?
"Then how did you co to guess Mr. Yang?" Fu Zhen asked curiously, looking at them.
Su Xinger interrupted, "I heard it from the second one. The second one had entered the palace to see the Emperor earlier and happened to overhear this part.
"Then he ca back and quickly told us, and we guessed it was Mr. Yang. I’ve heard that he was quite similar to the Emperor when he was young!"
There was no denying that now.
Fu Zhen looked at them and nodded: "Mr. Yang is indeed the Crown Prince, but without his permission, we can’t disclose it to you.
"Now that you know, pay attention to your words... "
"Great!" Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Chili jumped up and clapped, "This is sothing to celebrate! The Great Zhou Imperial Family has soone to carry on its lineage, and we no longer have to worry about the future!
"With Mr. Yang’s build and physique, he can definitely produce five, six, seven, or eight imperial grandchildren!"
The rest, infected by his excitent, also broke into expressions of joy.
Liang Chen said, "If that’s the case, then I’m relieved. Although we haven’t seen the Emperor in his youth and couldn’t imdiately see the signs in Mr. Yang, having such a Crown Prince in Great Zhou is indeed reassuring!"
"Who wouldn’t agree?"
Everyone chid in with their thoughts.
At this mont, Fu Zhen, with sharp eyes, saw Pei Yu approaching quickly with his guard in the distance and signaled everyone to be quiet.
Pei Yu, still holding a scroll of docunts, arrived at the garden entrance and, seeing everyone there, stopped and raised the docunts in his hand, "You’re all here? That’s great! There’s urgent military news from the northwest!"
Everyone gathered around him anxiously, "What happened?"
"Several major generals from Dongzi are leading more than one hundred thousand troops towards the border between Dongzi and Dayue. Preliminary assessnts suggest that these generals are precisely the three who colluded with Lian Yang!"
Pei Zhan and Liang Chen’s expressions changed dramatically. They both simultaneously took the military report in their hands and began to read it.
Cheng Chili also leaned over, and after taking a quick look, he blurted out, "Judging by their route, they’re taking the main road to Dayue. To be so brazen, there must be soone on the inside!"
"Could it be that Lian Yang has already crossed the border? Have they planned everything and are preparing to attack the current Dayue court?"
Pei Zhan raised his head, "Lian Yang’s portrait has been circulated within the pass for quite so ti now. The guards at the checkpoints are all generals who have served under ; it’s impossible for them to handle even this poorly!
"Furthermore, just a few days ago, Chen Song relayed information about Lian Yang to the capital city, so he couldn’t have exited the pass so quickly!
"Therefore, I don’t believe Lian Yang is the one eting them, but this only ans we can’t let our guard down; their plot is more intricate than we imagined!"
"No matter whether he’s crossed the border or not, you must imdiately depart for the northwest without delay!" Liang Chen looked at him and said, "There’s no ti to lose; go into the palace to report to the Emperor now."
Pei Zhan nodded and turned to Fu Zhen, "Wife, go find Mr. Yang and have him prepare quickly. I will organize the troops and set off once I receive the imperial decree from the palace!"
"Understood, go without worrying!"
After she sent him off, Fu Zhen followed promptly.
Cheng Chili looked at everyone, "What about us? Are we not heading to the northwest? Just letting the fifth one lead the troops alone?"
"Of course, we can’t let him go alone," Liang Chen glanced at him, "You all stay in the capital city and guard the Imperial City well! I’m also going into the palace to request the decree!"
With these words, he spun out of the garden like a whirlwind.
"Wait for , we’re going too!"
Liang Zhi and Cheng Chili quickly followed.
Su Xinger and Pei Yu were left in the garden, exchanging glances. Su Xinger spun around and said, "I’m going to find Auntie Pei!"
And she ran out in a hurry.
