Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

The ancestor was silent for a while and then spoke.

"Okay, please step back first."

"Yes, ancestor."

The two resigned.

As the two disappeared into the hall, the ancestor chuckled:

"It seems that many princes of this generation are quite interesting."

"Li Ming, what do you think of King Chu Li Yuan?"

While the ancestor was speaking, a kind-hearted old eunuch appeared in the hall, bowing slightly.

Manager Li was once Emperor Yu's personal eunuch.

"The fifth prince has a good character. When His Majesty was alive, he was very optimistic about the fifth prince. Although the talents under His Royal Highness King Chu are quite mysterious, they are loyal to the fifth prince."

Manager Li recalled the fifth prince Li Yuan who was still in the palace. At that time, he always smiled and was kind and tolerant to the maids and eunuchs. People in the palace had a good impression of the fifth prince.

"But the origins of these talents under the King of Chu are unknown. Could they come from the other two dynasties to lure the King of Chu into being deceived?"

At this time, an old man from the royal family also appeared in the hall, he looked worried.

Manager Li's eyes moved slightly and he slowly lowered his head. It was not impossible. The royal family had already investigated Xun Yu, A Qing, Jia Xu, and Lu Bu. They found nothing in the entire Yu Dynasty. There were no clues. It was obviously not the Yu Dynasty. man of.

However, the old man sneered:

"Haha, it's impossible. Not to mention whether the two great dynasties have unparalleled geniuses like A Qing and Lu Bu. Even if they do, are they willing to send them out!"

Manager Li and the old man from the royal family were silent.

The ancestor stood up slowly, "Li Ce is right, King Chu is a member of our royal family. As for the mystery of these people, wouldn't it be clear if I ask him in person?

As long as they are loyal to King Chu, no matter who they are or what their relationship is, they are all pillars of the Yu Dynasty! "

Manager Li and the old man from the royal family bowed their heads.

"Li Ming, come with me to see the King of Chu."

"Li Xian, you guard Kyoto. You don't have to worry about the officials in the imperial court who are jumping up and down. They have their own way of survival, but you have to take care of the trash in the royal family. If anyone dares to interfere randomly, have their legs broken!"

"Yes, ancestor."

The royal old man nodded heavily.

Finally, the ancestor’s hesitant words floated in the hall:

"If... something happens to me, ancestor, you will secretly leave Kyoto with the Seventh Prince Li Ce."

The old royal man was shocked and raised his head suddenly.

It's a pity that the figures of the ancestor and Li Ming have disappeared.

Outside the gate of the ancestral temple, Li Ce and Li Hui walked out with heavy expressions, especially Li Ce, with fists looming in his sleeves tightly clenched.

It makes observers from a distance look surprised.

"Okay, you go back first and wait for the ancestor's notification."

King Luo has received a message from the ancestor of the royal family and cooperates with the two.

"Thank you, uncle."

The two of them were weak and looked like they were in decline.

Sure enough, when the two returned to the palace, Queen Lin and Concubine Lu arrived behind.

"Seventh brother, eighth brother, what did ancestor say?"

Concubine Lu looked nervous and couldn't wait to speak. They felt bad when they learned about the two people's expressions when they left the ancestral temple.

Li Ce opened his mouth and showed an expression uglier than crying:

"Sister-in-law, I have fulfilled my mission."

"ah?"

Queen Lin and Concubine Lu looked confused when they saw Li Ce's expression, and stopped what they wanted to say.

"Seventh brother, what do you mean?"

Queen Lin asked without knowing why, her bright eyes showing a hint of expectation.

"My eighth brother and I begged our ancestors in accordance with the wishes of the emperor's wife. Our ancestors were moved by our sincerity, especially since King Xuan was still dealing with Chu Junxiong. Our ancestors thought that King Chu could not be allowed to enter the capital so quickly, so he decided to continue Give Brother Four Emperors a chance to take charge of the court again."

"What!"

Concubine Lu stood up in shock.

Queen Lin was also surprised and stared at Li Ce: "Seventh brother, are you serious about this?"

Li Ce suppressed the pain and nodded heavily.

Li Hui on the side said: "Two emperors' sisters-in-law, how could we lie to you? Our ancestors have already left the ancestral temple to find King Chu and get the four emperor brothers back."

"If you don't believe it, you can go and find out if the ancestor is still in the ancestral temple."

Queen Lin and Concubine Lu looked at each other, their hearts filled with huge surprises. They never expected that Lao Qi and Lao Ba would give them such a big surprise.

They finally understood why Li Ce was unhappy.

"Emperor's Wife, when the Four Emperors come back, please don't forget our contribution. Our feet were numb when we knelt down, and the ancestor only let go." Li Hui rubbed his knees and said to take credit.

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

"When His Majesty comes back, you will be the first heroes. His Majesty will make you a king and open a palace as soon as possible."

Queen Lin agreed immediately.

"Uh-huh!"

Concubine Lu nodded quickly.

Li Ce took a deep breath and said to the two girls:

"Okay, then we will wait for the good news about the return of the emperor."

"Well, seventh brother and eighth brother, you have worked hard today, so we won't disturb your rest."

Queen Lin said goodbye.

After Queen Lin and Concubine Lu left, Li Ce put away the sadness in his eyes, raised his eyebrows at Li Hui, and smiled like a little fox.

On the main road of the palace, Queen Fenghu Shanglin and Concubine Lu were sitting intimately.

Concubine Lu said excitedly: "Sister, it's great to have His Majesty back. We'll tell Xiang Lin and his father immediately."

Queen Lin's eyes were slightly excited, but her face had calmed down, but she shook her head and refused:

"No, sister, we can't tell my father and Mr. Lu that His Majesty is coming back now."

"Ah? Why?" Concubine Lu was startled.

"Sister, don't you understand now? We have become our father's abandoned sons, and they have now taken refuge with Prince Xuan." Queen Lin said calmly.

When Prime Minister Lin sent people to find her to persuade the Seventh Prince to prevent King Chu from entering the capital, Queen Lin already understood Prime Minister Lin's thoughts.

Emperor Yao had already lost, and it didn't matter to the two concubines that King Chu came to the capital.

Whether King Chu wins or King Xuan wins, it has no impact on them.

"But since His Majesty is back, Prime Minister Lin and his father will definitely help His Majesty again." Concubine Lu said in confusion.

"No, I understand my father. Your Majesty doesn't have the strength to give him what he wants. Now only Prince Xuan can, so my father has given up on us all."

"If we tell my father and others about His Majesty's return to the capital, I'm afraid they will tell Prince Xuan immediately and turn around to support the seventh brother and prevent His Majesty from regaining control of the court."

Queen Lin's lips turned a little white.

Concubine Lu's eyes turned red. She also knew her father and understood that what Queen Lin said was true.

"Then what do we do?"

"Let's not tell Father that His Majesty is returning to Beijing. We will catch them off guard when His Majesty comes back!"

"But Prime Minister Lin and his father are waiting for news from us."

"Hold on, let's find a way to hold them back for a few days until His Majesty returns!" (End of Chapter)
