I am Yuan Niaoniao

"Where on earth did this Prince Rong come from? According to your father's behavior, there is no reason for him to survive until now!" Zhen Luoyi paced back and forth in the palace anxiously. She had just been to the temporary palace to see Han Rongzhen and confirmed that he was Prince Rong!

"I'm afraid someone has been planning this for a long time!" Han Junyi was also gritting his teeth. This Uncle Rong had to show up when he was in this position, not to mention that he didn't have a will, but it was a logical position. Now that Prince Rong showed up, his position might not be stable. Although it was a long time ago that his father changed the will of his grandfather, it would be troublesome if Uncle Rong could produce the real will of his grandfather. "Uncle Rong can't stay!"

"Yes, we can't keep him!" Zhen Luoyi's thoughts coincided with Han Junyi's! "Are we going to do it at the banquet?"

"There will be a lot of people around, so it may not be a good opportunity to take action!" Han Junyi shook his head, "Let's wait until the banquet is over! Then find a way to get rid of him without anyone noticing!"

"Okay! Yier, just do whatever you think is appropriate," Zhen Luoyi nodded in agreement.

Han Rongzhen's idea coincided with theirs. At this time, in Han Rongzhen's palace, Hong Li and Gu Yunmu were discussing the next plan with him.

"Walls have ears." Prince Rong was very familiar with the little tricks of the Jinwu Guards in the palace.

"Can Prince Rong speak the Yi language?" Gu Yunmu asked.

"Yes." Prince Rong answered in the Yi language: "I stayed in the Yi tribe for two years and met your eldest brother Gu Ruochen."

Hong Li and Gu Yunmu looked at each other awkwardly after hearing this.

"Your elder brother and I were just a brief acquaintance. Don't take it to heart. The dispute between you has nothing to do with me." Prince Rong continued in fluent Yi language. He recognized that Gu Yunmu was Gu Ruochen's younger brother when he came to him, so he felt at ease to accept him under his command.

"Yes, thank you Prince Rong for your understanding." Gu Yunmu said gratefully.

"At the banquet the day after tomorrow, I need you to give me some poison. I want to use it to launch a coup!" Prince Rong said seriously.

"This is easy to handle. Leave it to us. We will control the amount of poison!" Gu Yunmu said as he took out two bottles of pills from his arms. "The red bottle is the poison, and the white one is the antidote. This poison will cause you to vomit blood instantly, but it is not fatal. Just take the antidote in time." He handed the bottle to Han Rongzhen with both hands.

"By then, Hong Li will pick out a few ministers who support you, Prince Rong, and poison them on the spot. This way, people will be more convinced that the current emperor cannot tolerate your existence!" Hong Li stepped forward and said.

"Okay!" Han Rongzhen smiled and put the medicine in his arms.

The Jinwu Guards on the rooftops could not receive any useful information, only occasional babble of strange language. Several of them stared at each other, realizing that they were aware of their eavesdropping. This way, they would not get any useful information, so they said, "Let's go."

Han Junyi was discussing with Wen Zili in the study room. Suddenly he thought of something and called Feng in: "Feng!"

"Your Majesty." Feng immediately entered the room and knelt on one knee in front of Han Junyi.

"Go and check who the man and woman are who beat the drum to appeal for justice for my uncle Wang." Han Junyi vaguely felt that Gu Yunmu was familiar.

"Yes." Feng immediately took the order and left.

After Feng left, Han Junyi resumed his conversation with Wen Zili: "What does the Imperial Master think should be done with Uncle Rong who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?"

“Your Majesty is already the Emperor now. So what if Prince Rong, who had died many years ago, has been resurrected? He should not give up the throne. He only needs to compensate Prince Rong enough to silence the people.” Although Wen Zili did not know the past grievances between Prince Rong and Han Junwu, there was always some bloody stuff in the royal disputes. He thought that Han Junyi wanted to get rid of Prince Rong, and there was some personal grudge involved.

"Then how does the Imperial Master think we should compensate Prince Rong for the losses he suffered during his years of wandering?" Han Junyi asked with a frown.

"According to my humble opinion, we should give Prince Rong a city, where he can continue to be Prince Rong. Besides, at his age, he should enjoy his retirement!" Wen Zili said.

"What the Imperial Master said makes sense. I will consider it." Han Junyi nodded.

Wen Zili then bowed and took his leave.

................

"Uncle Rong's move was a clever one. He walked into the trap and then sought justice, forcing Han Junyi to interrogate him in court. In this way, all the former ministers will recognize Prince Rong. This is the best evidence." Yuan Niaoniao and Chen Shaoyi discussed what Prince Rong had done in the past few days.

"I'm afraid there will be trouble at tomorrow's palace banquet." Chen Shaoyi thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Rong is likely to start a rebellion tomorrow night. That is the best opportunity, and Han Junyi will definitely not embarrass Uncle Rong on that day for the sake of his reputation. Therefore, if Uncle Rong takes action, it is very likely to catch Han Junyi off guard."

"If that's the case, there must be a lot of Prince Rong's troops gathered outside the city at this time!" Yuan Niaoniao stood up and said.

"Yes, let's go out and take a look." Chen Shaoyi and Yuan Niaoniao immediately went outside the city to check, and indeed found many mercenaries in disguise entering the city.

"It seems that your uncle Prince Rong wants to capture Han Junyi in one fell swoop at the palace banquet tomorrow night. However, such a large number of troops may not be able to break into the heavily guarded imperial palace. What's more, the Longwu Army and the Jinwu Guards are not ordinary soldiers." Yuan Niaoniao shook her head. She was not optimistic about Prince Rong's trip.

"This is the purpose of our trip." Chen Shaoyi sighed. "I can't stop him from doing anything, but I don't want my father to lose his brother, Uncle Rong, again."

"I understand. Did you plan to rescue Uncle Rong if he was at a disadvantage that day?" Yuan Niaoniao looked at Chen Shaoyi.

Chen Shaoyi nodded silently.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the banquet. Before the banquet began, Prince Rong had already issued instructions to Hong Li and Gu Yunmu, asking them to go to the market to spread a message: Prince Rong was not dead, but still alive! In addition, the current emperor decided to hold a banquet to welcome Prince Rong.

This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. For a time, the streets and alleys were filled with people discussing the living Prince Rong. Prince Rong, who was originally thought to be dead, suddenly appeared in everyone's sight and became the focus of everyone's attention. After Han Junyi learned about this, he was more certain that he would not cause trouble at the palace banquet tonight. After all, such news spread throughout the city, and if it caused unrest at this moment, it would undoubtedly cause an uproar.

Han Rongzhen, who changed into the prince's clothes, was full of energy and radiant. He strode into the hall, and every step he took was extremely confident and determined. His eyes were sharp and bright, as if they could penetrate people's hearts; his steps were steady and powerful, as if he had an unstoppable force. His arrival shocked the entire hall, and everyone turned their eyes to him, their eyes full of awe and expectation.

Han Rongzhen held his head high and walked straight to his seat. His posture was upright and his temperament was elegant, giving people an unparalleled sense of majesty. His appearance was like a bright star, illuminating the entire hall, making it impossible to ignore his presence.

When Han Rongzhen sat down, the atmosphere in the hall became solemn. All the ministers bowed their heads to show their respect for him.

Han Rongzhen sat there, like a steady mountain, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and finally fell on the throne in front of him. His eyes revealed a firm determination, he would definitely take back his throne, the world of Dadu still belonged to Han Rongzhen!

Han Junyi, Zhaoping and Zhen Luoyi came slowly and sat down in their seats. Han Junyi then set his eyes on Prince Rong who was sitting upright in the audience. "As you all know, tonight's banquet is for my uncle Rong. Prince Rong of Dadu has been displaced for more than ten years. It was also my father's fault that he thought Uncle Rong had passed away at that time, so I thought Uncle Rong was gone for so long. Now I meet Uncle Rong again, and I am moved to tears. Come, everyone, let's toast to Prince Rong and toast to him for being alive!" After that, he raised the glass and drank it all.

Everyone in the hall raised their glasses and toasted towards Prince Rong. Prince Rong also raised his glass of wine in response and drank it all. Then he stood up and said, "I don't blame you, my good nephew. After all, everyone thought I died on the battlefield!"

"Uncle Rong!" Han Junyi looked at Prince Rong, his eyes flashing with excitement and gratitude, as if he had seen a long-lost relative. He said sincerely: "My nephew finally sees you again! You have suffered all these years, and it is all because of my incompetence that you have been wronged." As he spoke, his eyes reddened, and tears rolled in his eyes, almost falling.

Han Junyi calmed down and continued, "Uncle Prince Rong, your nephew has prepared a fiefdom for you, where you can continue to inherit the title of Prince Rong and enjoy wealth and glory. Moreover, your descendants will also inherit your throne. This is a little gift from your nephew, so please be sure to accept it." After that, the eunuch at the side respectfully handed over an imperial edict, which detailed the location, area, and related rights and interests of the fiefdom.

Prince Rong also smiled and took the imperial edict. He nodded and said solemnly: "Thank you for your gift, nephew. I will definitely live up to your mission, govern the fiefdom well, and perform my duties loyally for the court."

To others, the interaction between the two seemed to be a sign of the deep affection between uncle and nephew, but in their hearts, they were the only ones silently enduring and suppressing this discomfort.

After some false flattery, Prince Rong was about to sit down, but suddenly blood came out of his mouth, which scared everyone.

"You..." Prince Rong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help spitting out blood again. He touched the blood from the corner of his mouth, pointed at Han Junyi and said, "Nephew, do you want to kill Uncle Wang?"

All the ministers looked at this scene and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Han Junyi. Anyone who saw this scene would not want to live.

"Quickly call the imperial physician!" Han Junyi was also shocked by this sudden change and hurriedly asked someone to call the imperial physician.

At this time, several old ministers showed the same symptoms as Prince Rong, vomiting blood. Upon closer inspection, they were the old ministers who recognized Prince Rong and supported Prince Rong that day. At this time, silence was truly more powerful than words.

"Stop pretending!" Han Rongzhen shouted angrily! He pointed at the ministers who were vomiting blood and said, "Nephew, it's fine if you can't tolerate your uncle. They are all old ministers who followed your father. They only recognized your uncle the day before yesterday. How can you not tolerate them? They are all loyal old ministers!"

The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly dropped to freezing point. Han Junyi suppressed his anger and said, "Uncle Rong, there must be a misunderstanding! Please give me some time to check it out."

"Uncle Wang, I'm afraid that you, my nephew, will have time to investigate. I, Uncle Wang, don't have the time to wait for you!" Prince Rong said viciously!

"Uncle Rong!" Han Junyi saw that Prince Rong was so determined, and he realized that this was actually Prince Rong taking the opportunity to make trouble. Who knows, maybe he was directing and acting it himself, just to throw dirty water on himself!

Prince Rong did not wait for Han Junyi to react at this time. He just blew a whistle and a large number of soldiers rushed in: "Nephew, since you are unkind, don't blame your uncle for being unjust! Capture him for me!"

"Golden Guards!! Protect the emperor!!!" Han Junyi's face changed drastically when he saw the assassins suddenly appearing. He immediately drew the sword from his waist, nervously stood in front of Zhao Ping and Zhen Luoyi, blocked them with his body, and shouted anxiously: "Protect the Empress and the Queen Mother!" At the same time, he turned his gaze to Prince Rong on the side, his eyes flashing with anger and determination, and gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle Rong, you are plotting a rebellion! Put down your sword now, and your nephew will still pretend that nothing happened for the sake of uncle and nephew! Otherwise..."

However, Prince Rong laughed sharply and responded fearlessly: "What a joke! You are going to murder my uncle! If I put down my sword, wouldn't that be suicide?" After that, he rushed towards Han Junyi, swinging his sword vigorously. Han Junyi was not to be outdone and immediately raised his sword to fight back. The two of them instantly fell into a fierce battle. At the same time, Hong Li and Gu Yunmu led a large number of mercenaries to surge in like a tide. They quickly surrounded the Jinwu Guards and those soldiers who were late, and a bloody melee began.

The warriors on both sides brandished their swords and shouted loudly. The Jinwu Guards fought hard, but faced with a large number of mercenaries and without prior preparation, they were gradually at a disadvantage after being attacked by surprise. While fighting fiercely with Prince Rong, Han Junyi anxiously observed the situation around him, his heart full of worries. He knew very well that if the situation could not be reversed as soon as possible, the consequences would be disastrous. Feng was not around at this time, and the Longwu Army would not be able to rescue him in a short time. He had to fight Prince Rong with all his strength.

"Nephew, you are sitting on the throne that your father seized by despicable means! Do you have the nerve to occupy it?" Han Rongzhen said to Han Junyi.

"Stop talking nonsense. Now I am the king and you are a traitor! Don't blame my nephew for being ruthless!" Han Junyi said gritting his teeth.

The two of them played chess fiercely again.
