Chapter 146 The Game Begins 1

Along with this news, there was also a letter of credence that arrived at Panlong Kingdom's palace. The wording in it was strict and pungent. Not only did it tear down the fig leaf of Panlong Kingdom, but it also directly scolded them for being shameless and irresponsible, and actually sent secret guards to assassinate their own people. His younger brother was simply worse than a beast. The new emperor of the Panlong Kingdom was so angry that he tore up his credentials.

The spies from the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom also received the news that the Panlong Kingdom sent people to the Fengqi Kingdom to kill their fifth brother. There were also detailed causes and consequences. Even the fifth prince was willing to be shameless and infiltrated the Fengqi Kingdom's princess. I know everything about the backyard.

At the same time, there was also a rumor sent back, saying that the fifth prince was controlled by drugs by the new emperor of the Panlong Kingdom, and was then forced to assassinate the queen. Only in this way could he save his life, otherwise he would have died long after the battle failed. .

The fifth prince was not the only one who failed in the fight for the throne. The new emperor was the third in line. In addition to the eldest prince and the second prince who had apparently died suddenly, there were also the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince who had lost their traces. Now the fifth prince appeared. In Fengqi Kingdom, what about the fourth and sixth princes?

This made both the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom immediately vigilant. If they could use a few useless chess pieces to achieve a greater goal with a small one, they would be willing to give it a try.

So this time they chose to wait and see. It would be better if Panlong Kingdom and Fengqi Kingdom could both lose.

After General Fengming led his men to capture three cities, he began to stand still and rest.

The eldest princess had a smile on her face after receiving the good news from the front, and immediately handed the good news to Lianyi.

After reading the good news, Lianyi said to the messenger on the side:

"Let the eldest princess go ahead and remind her to be wary of the other two countries."

"yes!"

The eldest princess now walked with wind in her eyes, and immediately ordered someone to send another letter of credence to Panlong Kingdom.

Panlong Kingdom was extremely angry at the loss of three cities and was mobilizing troops and generals to take back the cities. At this time, news came back from Xi Zuo who was lurking in Fengqi Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess arrested all the people we sent to negotiate, and also brought the matter to the queen."

"A bunch of trash!"

"But the people who came in contact with the second princess sent back good news. It's just that this second princess is very cunning and will not take action without seeing any benefit."

The messenger handed over a folding sheet and then stood aside silently.

After seeing this, the new Emperor Panlong frowned, and then said to the guards beside him:

"Announce Zhang Zhang to enter the palace to discuss matters."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fengqi Kingdom Zhuoxiu Garden

Lianyi was taking a medicinal bath when Feng Shou appeared quietly beside the tub and whispered:

"Queen, the confidant of the second princess has been in contact with Panlong Kingdom's secret agent, but there is no specific action at the moment."

"Humph! They were negotiating terms, but they didn't reach an agreement."

Ripple said quietly.

"Do you want to capture the person?"

"Let's see what Panlong Kingdom can give? Let's also see how far the Second Princess can go for power."

Lianyi said with narrowed eyes.

"Yes, my subordinates will keep an eye on them."

"Take the opportunity to follow the clues and figure out all the details of Panlong Kingdom."

"yes!"

Feng Shou arrived quietly and left without disturbing anyone.

After taking the medicinal bath, Lianyi said directly to Lan Xin:

"Go to Mr. Xuan and tell him that I want to play chess with him."

"yes."

After Lan Xin responded, she went to announce the imperial concubine Zhao's family.

On the surface, Lianyi brought all his favorite husbands and servants to Zhuo Xiuyuan, but in fact, he controlled these people in disguise so that they could not send news to the outside world. If there was any trouble, he would be able to detect it immediately.

Men who can become royal concubines are not stupid, and they are all peaceful and well-behaved. Unless the queen calls for greetings and greets her at regular intervals, they usually stay in their own courtyards, and the imperial concubine is no exception, especially now that he is the queen's concubine. country, he became more and more afraid to act rashly.

That is to say, in the first ten days, because of the upbringing problems of his three granddaughters, he helped the second princess handle some matters in the inner house with the approval of the queen, reminded the second princess by the way, and then stayed with the queen. Condition your body and do nothing else.

The Queen asked him to play chess, and he was naturally happy. After taking care of himself, he went to the waterside pavilion where the Queen was.

When he saw the empress with a rosy complexion and a rejuvenated appearance, the emperor's husband was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, after only a few days, the empress's complexion became better and better. He hid his uneasiness with a happy smile on his face. , stepped forward and saluted, and then said:

"Happy Queen! Judging from your complexion, you are in great health! The stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground."

"Without the interruption of complicated political affairs, I eat well, sleep well, and my complexion naturally improves."

Lianyi waved his hand to let the other party sit down in front of the chessboard, and smiled back.

Mrs. Zhao lifted up her purple and gold patterned robe and sat down. She took a closer look at the Queen's appearance, and then said:

"The Queen fainted in court last time, which frightened us all. She has long wanted to ask you not to work so hard. The children are old and can be shared with them, but you also want them to relax for a few more years.

The rest of us were afraid of making you unhappy by talking too much, so we didn’t dare to mention it. I see that the eldest princess has done well this time, and your health has also improved. Aren’t we all happy? "

"Haha, you are the only one who dares to say this, but you are right. Rights are a good thing, but they are not as important as life. When a person dies, there is nothing."

Lianyi said something smoothly, and then a white jade chess piece fell.

Zhao's heart jumped again, but his face was very calm, and he even said a little unhappy:

"Queen, don't say such words again in the future. You have to stay with me for a long time. You can't say such unlucky words. You look better and better now, and you will only get better and better in the future. good."

"I know, I'm just complaining to you, it's your turn!"

Only then did Zhao land a black stone, and the two began to play chess back and forth.

"I smell the incense on you has changed, but is it a new incense?"

Ripple asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Back to the Queen, I didn't change the incense. I stopped incense when I entered the garden. The aroma of various flowers in Zhuoxiu Garden is astonishing and natural and fresh. It is even better than incense. It is still natural. I use it now. All of them are scented clothes with elegant floral scents.”

Zhao said with a smile.

"The spices you brought at home are good. I didn't prepare any of these spices when I came out this time, and I wanted to ask the royal husband for two pieces!"

"It was my negligence. I came with you to recover from your illness, so I didn't bring any spices."

The imperial husband said with self-blame on his face.

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually. I've been taking a medicinal bath recently to treat the ailments in my body. All I smell in my nose is the smell of medicine. I want to smell it in a different way."

"Then I'll ask the waiter to bring some freshly picked flowers?"

"That's fine!"
