Chapter 402: The Succession Edict

Very similar.

But are there really two people so similar in this world?

"Treat me as your royal sister from now on." Yan Li stretched out her hand to cover her cloak, "Meeting means being destined. Parting between life and death is no big deal. It will fade away as time goes by."

Parting between life and death?

"What do you mean by this?" Xuanyuan Jiahe's expression changed slightly, "Do you know that my imperial sister had an accident?"

Yan Li nodded: "Yes."

"How did you know?" Xuanyuan Jiahe stared into her eyes, his tone slightly tight, "Who told you?"

Yan Li said calmly: "There are no absolute secrets in the world."

Xuanyuan Jiahe said nothing, his red lips pursed slightly, looking thoughtful.

Yan Li didn't say anything else and walked quietly in the plum garden. The snow didn't fall heavily and didn't last long. It gradually stopped after a while.

The Imperial Garden is covered with a layer of pure snow-white, and when the sun shines down, it sheds a hazy, holy and beautiful luster.

However, the climate is cold in winter.

King Feng was probably worried that they would wander around for too long and get cold, so he quickly ordered someone to invite them to the Qinzheng Hall.

There was an earth dragon burning in the hall. The two stepped in, and the warm breath hit their faces, quickly driving away the biting chill all over their bodies.

The palace people led them to Nuange.

There were not many people in the Nuan Pavilion. King Feng, King Yu and Mu Cang were sitting one after another. Several palace servants stood with lowered eyebrows and eyes. After Yan Li arrived, the maid serving tea served them tea.

King Feng said: "Everyone, please step aside."

The palace people were blessed and filed out.

Yan Li sat next to Mu Cang, closed his eyes and took a sip of tea.

"Prince Xiao and Shen Yanshu are still in Shi'an City?" Prince Feng looked at Yan Li, his tone calm and without any waves, "What did Prince Xiao say to the eldest princess?"

Xuanyuan Jiahe's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked at Yan Li. Did she meet Prince Xiao and Shen Yanshu in Shi'an City?

"The purpose of Shen Yanshu going to Shi'an City was to take the blame for Prince Xiao, so he admitted all the crimes." Yan Li said indifferently, "Prince Xiao asked me to let Shen Yanshu go and hand over all his chips."

"They are very affectionate towards each other." King Yu frowned and was silent for a moment, then smiled sarcastically, "Is this when death is imminent, but they suddenly realize that true love is precious?"

King Feng looked at Yan Li: "Are you going to let them go?"

"Prince Xiao has been secretly planning for these years, and his power cannot be underestimated." Yan Li said calmly, "Based on what he and Shen Yanshu have done, there is no doubt that both of them should be executed, but there is no point in killing them at this time. significance."

What are they talking about?

Xuanyuan Jiahe looked at Yan Li at a loss. Let Prince Xiao and Shen Yanshu go?

What does this sentence mean?

Who is she?

Yan Li said calmly: "Prince Xiao promised to personally deal with all the forces he had roped in, including some local officials who committed heinous crimes."

"So let him go like this?" King Yu obviously disagreed with this decision. "Prince Xiao has hidden his ambitions very deeply over the years. Even his father was not aware of his ambitions when he was in power. This proves that he is a cunning and profound person. , His words may not be credible.”

Yan Li said calmly: "Prince Xiao and Shen Yanshu went to Shi'an City to see me. In a sense, they did feel repentant, but in the end, it is not up to me, but to Prince Feng, to deal with them."

"Brother Emperor?" King Yu was confused and turned to look at King Feng, "What do you mean by this?"

Yan Li walked to the window and looked at the snowy scenery outside the window. The pavilions, cloisters, treetops on the ridge of the palace, and the long palace road were all covered with a light layer of white.

"Didn't it say that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest?" Yan Li turned her head, her eyes calm and decisive, "Mu Cang and I have come all the way here, so of course we can't come in vain."

King Yu was slightly shocked, and realization appeared in his eyes: "You don't mean to..."

"It's getting late, we can go to the priest's hall." Yan Li smiled faintly, "Today we can celebrate a special festival in the South."

After saying this, she turned around and walked out.

When passing by Xuanyuan Jiahe, Yan Li reached out to her: "Let's go together?"

Xuanyuan Jiahe couldn't say a word, he just stretched out his hand blankly, and walked out with her arm in his arms, his beautiful eyes staring at her face for a moment, as if he could see a flower.

Mu Cang stood up and followed.

"Brother Emperor." King Yu looked at Feng King with a solemn face and hesitated to speak. He said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, she..."

King Feng said nothing, with an unclear expression on his face.

After walking out of the Qinzheng Palace, King Feng ordered the palace people to arrange a ride. The imperial guards quickly escorted Yan Li and Mu Cang out of the palace and slowly headed to the priest's hall.

Half an hour later, they saw some high priests in pure white snow robes in the priest's hall. The high priest, who was over fifty years old, held a scepter and stood at the foot of the hall with the young priests, waiting for the arrival of King Feng, Yan Li and others. .

The high priest's face was elegant and peaceful, and he showed compassion for the common people. When he saw Yan Li, he bowed slightly and said, "The eldest princess is here."

Yan Li returned the greeting: "High Priest."

"Please come with me, the eldest princess and the Phoenix King." The high priest turned around and entered the palace. His tone was slightly solemn when he spoke, "Although your majesty's eternal lamp has not been extinguished, I made a divination for her majesty the queen a few months ago. If I want to let her soul It will take at least seven years to return.”

"Seven years?" King Feng's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at King Yu, "Why didn't you say anything?"

King Yu looked confused: "Master has never told me."

"I have indeed not told anyone." The high priest met Wen Wen, "Don't be surprised by the Phoenix King." M.

After a while, several people arrived at the ice room of the priest's hall. The biting cold air hit them in the face. There was visible cold air in the room, and a layer of transparent thin frost covered the walls.

A huge crystal coffin was placed in the ice room.

The body of the Southern Queen Xuanyuan Xihe was lying in this transparent ice coffin at this time. Her face was beautiful and charming, her skin was white and rosy, and she looked like she was sleeping, not like she had lost her life at all.

Mu Cang stood in front of the coffin, looking at the woman lying in the coffin with complicated eyes, and his thin lips were pursed tightly.

The high priest looked solemn: "Seven years will bring many changes. The Southern Kingdom cannot stand seven years without a ruler, so I hope the princess and the Phoenix King will think twice."

"Let the princess and the eldest brother think twice?" Xuanyuan Jiahe had already guessed the truth, but she still couldn't believe it. She turned her head and looked at the high priest with a pale face, "Whether the emperor sister can wake up and whether her soul can return to her place, what does it have to do with the princess of Jin? Why did the high priest ask her to think twice?"

She had been thinking about this question all the way, and finally asked it at this time.

She wanted to get a definite answer from the high priest and Yan Li, even if the answer was bizarre and absurd, she wanted to hear them say it in person.

"Big brother." Yan Li raised his eyes slightly, talking to the Phoenix King and answering Xuanyuan Jiahe's question, "Let me write a will to pass on the throne."

The Phoenix King looked down at the woman in the coffin and remained silent.

"The country is not to be trifled with." Yan Li also looked down along her line of sight, "Perhaps it is destined that Xihe is destined to be like this. I hope that King Feng can bear the heavy burden of the country and protect the people of the country so that they can all have a stable family business."
