Smiling Phoenix Overwhelms the World - C312

“What did you say?” Xia Hou Yu poisoned my royal father? What about my royal father’s situation? ” Shen Hanxin’s black eyes were biting cold, and his vision was sharp as a blade. A sense of foreboding rose from the bottom of his heart.

“Master, the emperor collapsed on the Dragon Couch due to poison. Things are not looking good.” Wind Blade replied truthfully.

“What?!” “Crap …” He had never thought that Xia Hou Yu would poison his royal father, so wouldn’t all the efforts he made to settle the matter be for naught? Furthermore, Shen Han Sheng was present at the time, so it was hard to say if he had done anything small.

Although it was late in the morning, she still could not sleep. Since the Emperor was a cripple, it was only a matter of time before he would become the Supreme Emperor, but she did not want to be an imperial concubine. She would be like a Buddha in this palace, unable to live without a king.

Just as Qing Que was hesitating, a cold aura came from behind her. Qing Que’s eyes shined brightly, but when she turned around, she saw a devilishly mysterious handsome face.

“Oh, so it’s Mu King. It’s already been this time, why did he suddenly pay a visit? What’s the matter?” Qing Que asked even though she already knew the answer, her eyes were calm, cooperation with Shen Han Xin was impossible, the name of the imperial edict had already been changed to someone else, it was impossible to change it back.

“Such a huge event happened in the palace, the Empress should know about it, right?” Shen Hanxin’s thin lips slightly pursed as he solemnly said.

“Of course Qing Que knows, that’s why she thinks that the Mu King should be in the emperor’s palace now, not here.” QIng QIng QIng spoke of different things, and did not mention the matter of the Imperial Decree at all.

“Empress, why do you need to avoid the important matters so easily? You should understand why this prince is here the most.” “I wonder how esteemed wangfei is doing with that matter?” Shen Hanxin went straight to the point. If there was an imperial edict, then he would be seventy percent confident tomorrow. If not, then he really didn’t know what the golden throne room would do tomorrow to compete with Shen Hansheng for the throne.

“So it was about that matter. Your highness also saw it. Now that the emperor is slumped on the dragon bed, do you think I’ll still have a chance to seal the imperial edict with the Imperial Jade Seal?” Qing Que disapproved, turned around, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured herself a cup.

“Empress means that we failed?” Shen Hanxin’s eyes were solemn as he coldly looked at Qing Que.

“I was planning to make a move tonight, but I wanted to let Imperial Concubine Hua take the initiative. I didn’t expect that Imperial Concubine Hua would be so ruthless as to make the emperor lie on his bed. Imperial Consort Hua was very sincere with the Emperor. It seems that it really isn’t worth much …” Qing Que resentfully opened her mouth and took a sip of the green tea with great interest.

“I heard that Duke Han was in the palace when the incident occurred. I wonder if he came to see the Empress?” Shen Han looked at Qing Que doubtfully, his heart feeling that the girl in front of him was concealing something from him.

“Why does the Mu King think that the Duke of Han will come find me?” Qing Que looked at Shen Hanxin with raised eyebrows, and said disapprovingly. Seeing that Qing Que was like this, Shen Hanxin no longer bothered with his. At this point in time, the only thing he could do was to deal with his in the throne room tomorrow.

Waiting for Shen Hanxin to leave, QinQue slumped in her chair, exhaling a long breath. If Shen Hanxin had asked him for the Five Stones Powder just now, he really wouldn’t have known how to give it to him.

Inside King Han’s Mansion, Shen Hansheng gathered Ye Li, Leng Bingxin, and the seven saintly girls into the inner rooms.

“Today, with the help of everyone, we will be able to eradicate the Xia Hou clan in one fell swoop. This king will definitely remember your achievements in his heart. It is just that I did not expect that at this critical juncture, General Xia Houyu would actually lie paralyzed on his bed with poison in his father’s body. The country must have one day without a king, and in the throne room tomorrow, this duke will surely have a war of words with Shen Hanxin. This king also has the confidence to win the throne, so I hope that everyone will be able to subdue the entire Mu Palace during the morning assembly to prevent future troubles! ” With a stern expression, Shen Hansheng calmly spoke.

“Since young master Shen has spoken, we will naturally do our best!” Peony and the others had been willing by Shangguan Wuye to spare no effort to help Shen Hansheng achieve the throne since the day they arrived. Now, it seemed that they had reached a point where they were at loggerheads, and did not dare to slight him.

“But tonight, we …” Cai Die wanted to complain, but was forced back by Peony’s sharp eyes, she could only shut her mouth, her heart was filled with anger.

“This King knows that all of you have worked hard, but everything happened so suddenly and this is something This King did not expect. The victories or failures will be decided tomorrow, I’m counting on all of you!” Shen Hansheng naturally understood Cai Die’s dissatisfaction and sincerely responded.

After the seven Holy Maiden left, Shen Hansheng decided to hand the matter of dispatching the troops over to Ye Li and Leng Bing Xin.

“Ye Li, Bing Xin, immediately send a message to the pigeons. The generals stationed in the counties around the Imperial City must be summoned back to the Imperial Palace before the Imperial Court ends tomorrow morning.” No matter what, he would fight for the throne tomorrow. In the middle of the day, as the ruler of an empire, he had the ability to protect the woman he loved!

After leaving the main hall, Cai Die looked at Peony with dissatisfaction.

“Big sister, Young Master Shen is really something. He should at least let us rest for a few days …” “I’m so tired tonight!” In the backyard, Cai Die grumbled, her heart was filled with bitterness.

“This matter has nothing to do with Young Master Shen. His Majesty’s paralysis was also something he did not expect. If we do not make the first move and allow Shen Han to gain the upper hand, then we’ll be tired in the future!” Peony analyzed carefully.

“However, we are completely ignorant of the situation in the Mu King’s manor. If we rashly encircle and annihilate them, we might have a good chance of winning …” Cai Die disapproved.

“Shh …” Peony hissed and looked around. Only when it saw that no one was around did it turn to look at Cai Die.

“We must not let others know about this. If we can’t catch them off guard, then our chances of winning will be even less!” Peony asked solemnly.

“Forget it …” “Anyway, when Young Master Shen becomes the Emperor tomorrow, we can go back to the Moon Flower Hall. Coming out from there these few days, we really miss home …” Cai Die said in frustration.

“I hope everything goes well …” Peony frowned, deep in thought.

“Big Sis is worried about Young Master Shen? “There’s no need for that. If you don’t have complete confidence, how could Young Master Shen take the risk …” Seeing Peony’s worry, Cai Die said disapprovingly.

“Perhaps. It’s getting late. I should rest early …” Peony slightly nodded, and immediately walked to her room with Cai Die.

Night. Silence. In the room, Duan Mu Yan heard the conversation between Cai Die and Peony in her heart. Her eyebrows were filled with doubt; Shen Han Sheng had just finished dealing with Xia Hou Bo, so his vitality was severely damaged. Following Cai Die’s instructions, it seemed that they were going to attack the Mu King’s manor tomorrow. Had Shen Hanxin received the news in advance? He looked at the sky and saw that it was already past Yin. At this moment, it might still be too late to go out and report!

Just as Duan Mu Yan was deep in thought, the sound of slow footsteps could be heard approaching her room. Her heart trembled slightly as she subconsciously cleared her throat. She didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that the people outside would find out that she hadn’t fallen asleep.

“Meng Yan …” “Are you asleep?” A hint of sorrow could be heard in Qing Yue’s voice as Shen Hansheng slumped back down, leaning against the door. He lifted his deep gaze and looked at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes flickering with a sense of loss and despondency.

“Is amnesia a good thing? That way, you can forget all the sadness, hatred, reluctance, and yearning of the past. Those people’s matters are far away from you, they will no longer bother you, they will no longer become your nightmares. Even if you can’t remember everything, it doesn’t matter because from this moment on, I will always be by your side and will never part from you ever again … In this world, no one will ever take you away from me again … “Meng Yan, I love you so much. From the first moment I was in the Badlands Palace, I have already loved you beyond redemption …” Shen Hansheng pursed his lips bitterly as a crystal light flashed in his eyes. For Duan Mu Yan, he could only succeed tomorrow and not fail.

Suddenly, she felt an ice-cold feeling on her face, and when she lifted her hand to touch it, it was actually a tear. Borrowing the moonlight, Duan Mu Yan was unable to believe that her fingertips were sparkling and translucent. Unfortunately, she could not find an answer. Let’s just treat it as tears of hatred, Duan Mu Yan thought.

After sitting there for an unknown period of time, it was only when Duan Muyan’s legs were numb did she hear any sounds coming from outside. Staring at the faintly lit sky, Shen Hansheng finally stood up and left, unwilling to part with her. Only when the sounds of the footsteps gradually disappeared did Duan Mu Yan dare to move her body, but in the next second, she felt her entire body stiffen to the point that she couldn’t move at all. Only after half an incense stick of time had passed did Duan Mu Yan finally get up from the ground.

After Shen Hansheng left the Residence of Han in his palanquin, the seven saints, as well as Ye Li and Leng Bingxin, left their respective residences as well.

“Master? Why did you come alone? ” The moment he opened the door, Xiao Jin Feng looked at Duan Mu Yan, who had a flustered expression. He then looked around and made sure that no one was following him before allowing her to enter the room.

“There’s no time to explain! The seven Holy Maiden would harm the Mu King’s manor today, so you have no regrets. Take my hairpin and immediately rush to the Mu King’s manor. Find the Wind Blade or Yin Shang Rong. “What about the others?” Duan Mu Yan swept her gaze across the entire room, only to see Xiao Jin Feng standing alone.

“They have just left. Master, do you have any other orders?” Seeing the cold glint in Duan Mu Yan’s eyes, Xiao Jin Feng didn’t ask for the reason and asked for permission.

“It’s gone! Go to the Mu King’s Manor right now! ” After speaking urgently, Duan Mu Yan turned around and left the room. The main street in front of her was the only path from the Mu King Manor to the Imperial Palace. She might still be in time to warn Shen Han Xin about everything. A trace of gloominess flashed in Xiao Jin Feng’s eyes as he watched Duan Mu Yan’s departing figure. He then leapt up and headed straight for the Mu King’s Manor.

Although it was already morning, the streets were already bustling with noise and excitement, Duan Mu Yan was hidden within the crowd and was constantly looking in the direction of the Mu King Manor. Suddenly, a beautiful sedan chair appeared, causing the surrounding citizens to retreat left and right, only Duan Mu Yan instinctively rushed up, but was stopped by the sabre guards.

“How dare you cause trouble for the people, didn’t you see the sedan belonging to the Duke of Mu? “How dare you barge in like this!” The guard ruthlessly pulled on Duan Mu Yan’s arm, showing no intentions of letting go.

“If I want to meet Prince Mu, I’ll have to trouble you to let me know!” Duan Muyan hurriedly spoke, her eyes filled with worry.
