Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1499: Legend of the Hidden Sea 19

This was another development that even Emperor Zhenshun had not expected. He could not believe what he heard. "What? What did you say?"

Xiao Jinyue repeated with a smile: "Prince of Linzi, our old rival, praying to the gods is not enough, he even imitated the Qin Emperor and Emperor Taizong of Tang to pursue immortality!"

Emperor Zhenshun really couldn't accept it. He couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in Hanzhang Palace, muttering words like "how could it be" and "impossible".

He looked at the mechanical disc he had made with his own hands, and touched the wooden palace sent by the Queen of Winter and Summer, Mingyusuti. He thought he needed something like the Gui Seal to give himself a sense of security, and even acquiesced in the death of his good brother's family for this. It was already too much, but it turned out that Prince Linzi was even more abstract than him!

Emperor Zhenshun couldn't help but look up at his beloved daughter Xiao Jinyue, who was drinking tea and eating snacks with a comfortable look on her face.

He thought that Prince Linzi was his lifelong enemy. If things went wrong, even the throne would fall into the hands of Prince Linzi's descendants. By then, his situation might be even worse than that of Song Renzong.

But he didn't expect that such an enemy who was shrouding him like a dark cloud would be forced to go to the extreme of pursuing immortality because of his daughter's two murderous intentions.

So, his precious daughter is really amazing!

So a very secret idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

As soon as Xiao Jinyue walked out of Hanzhang Palace, he was stopped by Shi Quan and Zang Hai. Shi Quan was really in a difficult situation, but he had to obey Emperor Zhenshun's orders.

Xiao Jinyue had no intention of making things difficult for Shi Quan, who was just following orders, so she took Cang Hai towards the palace gate. There were few people coming in and out at this time, and there were only guards standing guard and patrolling around, so there was nothing to avoid.

Zang Hai tried his best to look indifferent and asked Xiao Jinyue, "The Emperor has granted marriage to you, Your Highness. Are you wronged?"

Xiao Jinyue looked up at Zang Hai's aggrieved face and said indifferently, "I have never felt wronged. Don't think too much about it."

Zang Hai couldn't even maintain a smile, and couldn't help wrinkling his nose, "But the prince rejected my invitation the day before yesterday, and it seems that I can't bear to think about it."

Xiao Jinyue asked directly: "So what exactly do you want to tell me? Why not talk about Queen Winter and Summer?"

What does Zang Hai want to do?

He just wanted to be honest with Xiao Jinyue about his life experience, wanted to cultivate feelings with Xiao Jinyue before that, and wanted to use Xiao Jinyue's power to wipe out the darkness and filth in the officialdom!

So Zang Hai asked Xiao Jinyue solemnly: "My Lord, can you tolerate the extortion, plunder, and idleness?"

Xiao Jinyue snorted coldly and said, "If this king can tolerate it, the Great Yong Kingdom should change its owner."

Cang Hai didn't think that Xiao Jinyue's words were too much, even though she was the most powerful person in the empire, these words really sounded like a curse.

But even so, Zang Hai felt that Xiao Jinyue was more like those wise and benevolent rulers praised by the world in historical records. At this moment, he was rarely on the same wavelength as Emperor Zhenshun. They both had a secret and clear desire to have Xiao Jinyue ascend to the throne.

The engaged couple chatted for a while, and Xiao Jinyue took a liking to Zang Hai. After all, a person who sincerely hopes for the good of this country and cares about the people of this country will always be liked by Xiao Jinyue.

After Prince Yongrong returned, his mind became calmer. Even if he really wanted to study the so-called immortality, the most important thing at the moment was still to eradicate the lineage of Prince Linzi and ensure the safety of their Prince Yongrong's Palace.

Besides, Dongxia is there. No matter how many people in the Dongxia royal court have established connections with Prince Linzi, what is the difference between doing business with Prince Linzi and doing business with him, Prince Yongrong?

I think there are only a few things that the powerful people in Dongxia want. The first is the hostage Mingxiang Antu, the second is the stability between Dongxia and Dayong, and the third is Dayong's resources.

Perhaps a Gui seal should also be added.

Prince Yongrong certainly did not feel as lack of confidence as Emperor Zhenshun. After all, Emperor Zhenshun and Xiao Jinyue were there to stand in front of him in everything. For a long time, Emperor Zhenshun and Xiao Jinyue had blocked many tactics from the Empress Dowager for Prince Yongrong's Palace.

However, the empress dowager was the one who handled most of the state affairs on behalf of the late emperor in his later years. If she hadn't been so unlucky, and if Xiao Jinyue's moves hadn't been so fierce every time, even hitting her sore spot, she might have been able to use only the means in the harem to make Prince Yongrong and Emperor Zhenshun die without an heir.

Xiao Jinyue's precautions for Emperor Zhenshun were indeed useful. For some unknown reason, Prince Yongrong went to the palace and told the emperor that Prince Linzi had colluded with Dongxia, was obsessed with immortality, and was secretly refining an elixir of life.

Since Emperor Zhenshun had some secret thoughts, he would naturally change his attitude towards Prince Yongrong, whom he once trusted very much and even hoped to push his offspring to the throne.

Therefore, he did not dwell on this matter, and even jokingly repeated to Prince Yongrong what Xiao Jinyue said: "Prince Linzi is desperate and can only choose immortality to numb himself", but he did not think this was Xiao Jinyue's opinion.

Of course, Prince Yongrong would just continue to agree with what Emperor Zhenshun said, and completely disparage Prince Linzi's pursuit of immortality as a joke.

Emperor Zhenshun wanted to do more. He simply asked Prince Yongrong to go to Prince Linzi's fiefdom in person, and preferably get evidence that Prince Linzi was seeking immortality. He also wanted to make the matter public and let the world criticize Prince Linzi.

There was no way. Although this matter was difficult, Prince Linzi could not refuse. What's more, he wanted to see what was going on with Prince Linzi. Now it was exactly what he wanted.

However, the unexpected behavior of Emperor Zhenshun also made Prince Yongrong very concerned. After all, they were brothers so close in the past that they could even entrust the throne to each other. He knew Emperor Zhenshun very well. But today, Emperor Zhenshun reacted in a completely opposite way to what he expected. There must have been some unexpected changes that he didn't know about.

It was easy to find out Xiao Jinyue's whereabouts. After hearing that Xiao Jinyue had been here, Prince Yongrong rationalized the change in Emperor Zhenshun. After all, Xiao Jinyue was Emperor Zhenshun's only child, and her persuasion did have some power.

Prince Yongrong had no time to think about it, so he secretly took the token and secret order given by Emperor Zhenshun and led his men straight to Prince Linzi's fiefdom.

Ming Yusuti, who was wandering in the capital, copied the manuscript that Kuai Duo left to her, and gritted her teeth to send Kuai Duo's original to the Tibetan Palace.

She wanted to take the Gui Seal back, and now she vaguely guessed that the Gui Seal might be hidden in the Hanzhang Palace, in the mechanical disc made by Emperor Zhenshun himself, but she had no chance to take the Gui Seal away. Instead, Cang Hai had the ability and opportunity to do so.

Ming Yusuti would certainly not hide this from her daughter Ming Xiang An Tu, but Ming Xiang An Tu was not optimistic about this matter. "Mother, I don't doubt Zang Hai's ability and means, but Zang Hai will definitely seek Xiao Jin Yue's opinion."

"Even if Xiao Jinyue has always disdained the Guixi, it doesn't mean that we can secretly contact her princess and steal things from her father."
