Four Seas Cloud Moon

Lu Xiaotian glanced at Li Ningyu and thought, the fight for the throne has nothing to do with me!

Li Ningyu said, the Star God Kingdom has a total army of 850,000, 100,000 of which are in the hands of General Liu, the five of us have 300,000, the two uncles of the Ninth Prince have 200,000, the uncle of the Eleventh Prince has 200,000, the Third Prince’s Royal Guards have 20,000, and the Imperial Guards have 30,000!

Judging from the current situation, the Third Prince is most likely to become the Crown Prince. All 20,000 Imperial Guards are at the Imperial Palace, and 30,000 Imperial Guards are less than a hundred miles away. Now that the First and Seventh Princes have been killed, the Third Prince has seized the opportunity to deploy another 10,000 Imperial Guards to guard the Palace! The uncles of the Ninth and Eleventh Princes have each returned with an army of 100,000. Our Zhenbei Army and Zhengyuan Army remain neutral!

The current situation is just as Li Ningyu said. Although Lu Xiaotian has no military power, he has the title of King of Zhenbei. If he can get his support, his chances of success in seizing the throne will increase greatly!

The five people looked at Lu Xiaotian with burning eyes. Lu Xiaotian said, "Go back to where you came from! As for the military power, let Emperor Zheng make the decision yourself!" After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving the six people stunned.

In the evening, the third prince came to see Lu Xiaotian!

Seeing that Prince Zhenbei is fine, I feel relieved!

Thanks to the third prince, we escaped unharmed!

The Third Prince said, "Brother Lu is now the Prince of Zhenbei, how can he not have wives and concubines? Father has also issued an edict to appoint Liu Shishi, the daughter of General Zhengyuan, as the Princess of Zhenbei! Our dynasty is in turmoil right now, and Your Majesty is inevitably unable to take care of it. Why don't you, the Prince of Zhenbei, get married? This will bring good luck to our dynasty and comfort the anxious court!"

Lu Xiaotian said, I had the same idea, but Princess Yue also wants to marry here, so only one of the two women can be the princess, which makes it difficult for me to decide!

Prince Zhenbei is so lucky, but Princess Yue is going to marry the crown prince, and my father is still dealing with other matters. After he is done with this, he will issue another edict!

The talks between the two broke down, and Emperor Zheng did not attend court for several days!

Your Majesty, the General Zhengyuan requests to see you.

If you don’t want to see me, just say that I’m not feeling well!

Your Majesty, the general said he has something important to report and we cannot delay!

Oh, let him go to the study and change clothes for me!

I pay my respects to Your Majesty!

"Tell me what's going on," Liu Hongqing glanced at Emperor Zheng. "Your Majesty, I'm waiting outside," the eunuch said, and then he walked out.

Your Majesty, it is the Prince of Zhenbei who wants to see you. Only then did Emperor Zheng notice that there was another person beside him.

If you have anything to say, just tell me!

Your Majesty, on the night when the eldest prince and the seventh prince were assassinated, I also encountered the assassin!

Hearing this, the muscles on Emperor Zheng's face stiffened! No matter how stupid the eldest and seventh princes were, they were still his sons. When their bodies were still warm, someone mentioned them again. How could Emperor Zheng not feel heartbroken to see them die young?

Lu Xiaotian continued, "The Third Prince had looked for me and arranged for the Royal Guards to protect my palace. However, the assassins were numerous and some were highly skilled in martial arts. They not only killed the Royal Guards, but also killed five hundred palace soldiers and my personal bodyguard. Fortunately, General Zhengyuan arrived in time and saved me!"

Emperor Zheng had heard about these things and continued to listen to Lu Xiao's novel!

Today, the Third Prince Daochen came to his residence and asked me to marry Liu Shishi as soon as possible. My father died on the battlefield for the Star God Kingdom, and I am the same. I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death and will never have any second thoughts!

Emperor Zheng looked at Lu Xiaotian and said, "When are you planning to get married?"

I beg Your Majesty to make the decision. I want to marry Princess Yue!

Emperor Zheng thought that now that the Third Prince's ambition was exposed, the Ninth Prince and the Eleventh Prince would not sit idly by. Even if the Ninth Prince and the Eleventh Prince were at the gates of the city, the Third Prince could rely on the 20,000 Imperial Guards and 30,000 Imperial Guards to defend the imperial city. However, this would give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage, causing unrest in the imperial city and preventing the frontline soldiers from receiving supplies, which would pose a risk of destroying the country.

Just as Lu Xiaotian said, the Third Prince had won over the people, which would inevitably allow Lu Xiaotian to control the Zhengyuan Army. The two of them, working together, would surely defeat the Ninth and Eleventh Princes, and he would meet his sons in hell! Lu Xiaotian's assassination was most likely a self-torture trick played by the Third Prince. Even after killing all five hundred palace soldiers, they still couldn't kill Lu Xiaotian!

Emperor Zheng was overthinking it. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to kill Lu Xiaotian, but that he didn’t kill him!

The assassins are another force that doesn't want to disrupt the existing balance! This force is called the Red Flower Society!

Lu Xiaotian revealed everything in order to confuse Emperor Zheng, but Emperor Zheng remained silent. Choosing anyone to be the crown prince now would cause a war! If no one was chosen, the princes would fight openly and secretly and someone would die in the end. After all, the third prince had already taken action!

Let Lu Xiaotian marry Princess Yue and Liu Shishi, and Lu Xiaotian will become another force. Looking at Lu Xiaotian's gigolo look, the information he received, and the temptation of the five generals of the Zhenbei Army, this Lu Xiaotian is timid and cowardly and easy to control!

Emperor Zheng thought for a while and said, "Go away. I will make the decision at the morning court tomorrow." Liu Hongqing and Lu Xiaotian left the palace. Liu Hongqing asked, "Do you think Emperor Zheng will agree?"

Don’t worry, Uncle Liu, I will definitely agree!

I don't think so. If you accept the proposal of the five generals, you may still be able to hold the military power! It is really unclear what you did by persuading the five generals to return!

Lu Xiaotian stopped and looked up at the sky. Uncle Liu thought what they said was true?

You suspect it's fake? These people used to be your father's old subordinates! I've seen them all!

My father has been dead for eighteen years, and don't you find it strange that these people still hold military power? Although they were promoted by my father, they are loyal to the Emperor!

Then how do you know?

They brought five thousand guards to ambush us. As long as I agree, you and I will both die!

Liu Hongqing felt sweat on the back of his neck after hearing this! This was also thanks to Ling'er.

Lu Xiaotian took Ling'er to General Zhengyuan's mansion. Ling'er and Lu Xiaotian had a special way of transmitting information, which was Morse code. It was estimated that only Lu Xiaotian and Ling'er knew how to use it in the world!

After Lu Xiaotian and Ling'er entered, they were quickly surrounded, and of course they could not escape Ling'er's ears!

Lu Xiaotian also questioned whether it was right to keep Ling'er. If this happened during his wedding night, wouldn't Ling'er be able to hear everything? He would be embarrassed if he was embarrassed. Imagine yourself doing that with someone listening next to you. Isn't that embarrassing? Now is not the time to talk about this!

When everyone received the news about tomorrow's morning court session, they were all speculating about its content, trying to find a good excuse to avoid being passive at that time!

The envoys from the Moon God Kingdom were arguing endlessly. Three of the four envoys agreed to marry the prince. After all, the Moon Emperor also meant this. He decided to put more effort into the betrothal gifts, the more the better, which was nothing more than food and land!

Yue Heng glared at the side, puffing his beard. He felt that this was unacceptable. If the royal family were to fight for the throne now, even if he became the crown prince, he could be killed at any time! If he died before becoming emperor, Princess Yue would have to keep vigil for the rest of her life! And with the bet in place, the world would still laugh at the Moon God Kingdom for its lack of trust!
