Chapter 223 The Imperial Decree

Emperor Wu's imperial edict was quickly drawn up, and the leader eunuch personally carried the edict and came to the Shenwu Hall to read it out. perform

At this time, all the civil and military officials had learned about Emperor Wu's situation and were waiting in the main hall.

Although it was already late at night, the entire palace was still brightly lit, showing that tonight was unusual.

In Weiyang Palace, two eunuchs came to ask to see Han Luoling. After some questioning, the prince brought them to Han Luoling.

"Empress, please go to the Shenwu Palace to listen to the order."

"I got it." Han Luoling stood up, put on a big turtle, and went to the Shenwu Palace with Han Xu.

Along the way, Han Luoling looked calm, as if everything was as she expected. It had been so long since she had asked a question about Emperor Wu.

Does she really not care, or does she already know the truth of the matter, or is she even the one behind the scenes?

On the way to the Shenwu Palace, Han Xu noticed several murderous intentions coming over him. Secretly, he didn't know how many masters came. Fortunately, Jiang Yang was also following him in the secret. He released his extraordinary sword energy, making Xiao Xiaoxiao unable to stop. Dare to get close.

Since Spring Hunting, Jiang Yang had joined the Enshrining Court, and was specially arranged by Emperor Wu to stay in Weiyang Palace to protect Han Luoling's safety.

Jiang Yang also wanted to stay by Han Luoling's side, and maybe one day he could see the sword demon in white and thank him in person, so he stayed happily.

Han Luoling knew of his existence, but never arranged for him to do anything. He was allowed to come in and out of Weiyang Palace, as if he didn't know him, and gave Jiang Yang the greatest degree of freedom. Therefore, the two of them never bothered each other. They lived in harmony with each other for a while.

Just like this, they came to the main hall without any danger. All the civil and military officials turned their eyes to Han Luoling. Some of them were well-informed and had already received the news that was about to be announced.

Han Xu keenly saw Wu Xiuxian and Wu Xiuren at the front. They looked at each other with different eyes.

Wu Xiuxian's eyes were very complicated, as if he had many meanings to express, while Wu Xiuren's eyes were very simple, just a gaze full of murderous intent.

Soon, the chief eunuch read out the imperial edict, and when the last word fell, the entire hall fell silent.

At this time, there was the sound of thumping footsteps.

Han Luoling stepped forward, bowed and said, "Concubine, take the order!"

After finishing speaking, she took the imperial edict, turned around gracefully, stood in front of the dragon throne, and looked at the civil and military officials without hesitation.

"Seniors, since Your Majesty has temporarily entrusted the important responsibilities of the country to me, I will definitely perform my duties and live up to Your Majesty's trust. I also hope that all the seniors here can support me."

"Since ancient times, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics. Han Luoling, you are so virtuous and capable. I suspect that this imperial edict is false. I want to meet with His Majesty." The speaker was a fourth-rank official from the Ministry of Punishment.

Han Luoling said: "His Majesty made it very clear in the imperial edict that he must remain in seclusion and not allow others to disturb him."

"You demon concubine! It's you who confuses Chao Gang. I want to see His Majesty!"

After saying that, the man walked out of the column, pointed at Han Luoling and cursed.

"Snapped!"

A clear slap resounded throughout the hall, and the whole body of the person who just scolded Han Luoling was sent flying out. Standing where he was just now, it was Han Xu.

"If you insult Concubine Ling again, I will behead you in public!"

"Han Xu, how dare you!" The man covered his face and said angrily. He had been an official for many years and had never been so humiliated.

He was actually slapped away by a junior in the main hall.

Han Xu said coldly: "You think I don't dare?"

As he spoke, Han Xu stamped his feet, and the Jinlin armor on his body sent out golden ripples.

The man calmed down now. Han Xu was wearing Jinlin armor. Even if he really killed him here, he would not be held responsible.

However, before Han Xu took action, he saw several Tiance Army soldiers breaking into the hall and directly carrying the man just now and forcibly taking him out.

Obviously, Han Luoling had already arranged manpower outside the palace before coming, and they were also Emperor Wu's guards and Tiance Army.

The appearance of Tiance Army also made all the officials feel awe-inspiring, and they said nothing at the moment.

"Thank you for your hard work today. Let's all go back and rest." After Han Luoling finished speaking, the officials in the hall left the palace one after another and went back to their respective homes to make arrangements.

Han Xu looked at Han Luoling standing in front of the dragon chair, and saw a trace of imperceptible fatigue in her eyes.

"Whatever she's doing, she must be tired."

After everyone left, Han Luoling told Han Xu a few words, and then followed Li Qingshan to visit Emperor Wu. Apart from Han Xu, only two princes, Wu Xiuxian and Wu Xiuren, were left in the entire hall.

"Your Highnesses, I will take my leave now." Han Xu said and prepared to leave.

"Han Xu, let's go together." Wu Xiuxian stepped forward and walked side by side with Han Xu.

Wu Xiuren snorted coldly and walked away quickly alone. If it had been before, he would have scolded Han Xu to relieve his anger. But things are different now. Firstly, he can't beat Han Xu. Secondly, Han Xu is wearing If the golden scale armor really pissed him off, the only one who would suffer would be Wu Xiuren himself.

Looking at Wu Xiuren's furious back, Wu Xiuxian smiled.

"Han Xu, come to my house to chat?" Wu Xiuxian said.

Han Xu was a little embarrassed and said: "Your Highness, at this time, it might be inappropriate for me to go to your house."

Wu Xiuxian did not object, but said: "Then go to Wanhua Pavilion, and I will support you as my elder brother."

"Okay." Han Xu did not refuse. The situation was unclear now and he didn't know what happened, so he also wanted to test Wu Xiuxian's attitude.

So, the two came to Wanhua Pavilion, which was Wu Xiuxian's property. They went directly to the secret garden where they met for the first time. The space was wide and there was no need to worry about anyone eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Han Xu, there are only two of us here, don't worry."

"Your Highness, you may as well speak directly if you have something to say."

"Han Xu, I want to know what happened to my father?"

Han Xu was startled and said: "I think you should know better than me about this issue. Weren't you just standing by when the second minister was diagnosing His Majesty?"

Wu Xiuxian whispered: "I mean, why is my father like this? You don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing. You know that I have no feelings for my father at all. I just want to know whether my father has become like this, and you, or Is it related to your sister?"

"Of course it doesn't matter." Han Xu said quickly, although he himself was not sure whether it had anything to do with Han Luoling.

"Really?"

"Really do not have."

Wu Xiuxian was silent, and the battle between heaven and man was going on in his mind. Han Xu did not disturb him and let him think slowly.

After a long time, Wu Xiuxian said: "Han Xu, I don't treat you as an outsider, so I will say some things directly.

The second worshiper believes that something went wrong when his father broke through the situation, and the situation is not optimistic. According to my observation today, if it is serious, there may not be much time left. "

"So serious?" Han Xu was really surprised.

"I believe I can see this problem, and so can Lao Wu." Wu Xiuxian said, "So, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful for a while."

Han Xu knew what Wu Xiuxian meant. Both he and Wu Xiuren were eyeing the position of the Ninth Five-Year Master. At this stage, both of them had to consider whether to take action.

If they fight for it, if Emperor Wu recovers, they may never have a chance to be in that position in their lifetime.

But if we don't fight, if Emperor Wu really can't survive this disaster, those who don't fight will lose the opportunity again.

Now I want to bet, bet on Emperor Wu's life.

Seeing Wu Xiuxian's eyes gradually becoming sharp, Han Xu said: "I understand your mood at this moment. You must be thinking that if you don't take action, if His Highness the Fifth takes the throne, you will definitely be purged. If you do, , Even if His Majesty recovers in the end, at least he will not kill you. After all, the Crown Prince's example is right in front of you, so you want to take advantage of it. "

Wu Xiuxian looked at Han Xu in surprise and said, "That's it. Are you willing to help me? After the matter is completed, I will never treat you badly."

Han Xu shook his head and said: "Your Highness, I treat you as a friend and give you a suggestion."

"What advice?"

"Stand still."
