Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Chapter 697 Another five years later...

Winter passes by in a hurry.

Every early spring, the sprouting new buds will continue to cut off the branches.

Five years passed in a flash.

During this period, earth-shaking changes took place inside and outside the capital of Daning Kingdom.

After five years, the ban on Lengxi entering the palace was finally lifted.

Tomorrow is the New Year. As early as half a month ago, the emperor issued an imperial edict that all the royal family, court ministers and their families must enter the palace early tomorrow morning to participate in the royal annual banquet.

Because the emperor wanted to announce something important on New Year's Day, he asked the ministers to come to the palace to spend the New Year together.

In the early morning, Leng Xi dressed up and stood in front of the bronze mirror with a radiant face. He looked at himself in the mirror with a slight beard and a calm face. With a faint smile on his lips, he said to himself:

"If there is a will, things will come true. If you work hard, God will not let you down. I have been working hard for more than five years in Lengxi, and now I can finally see the bright moon when the clouds open, hahaha~"

As soon as he finished talking to himself, the housekeeper hurriedly came to report,

"Your Majesty, Master Yu is here."

Yu Shiming?

Leng Xi's eyes tightened, and then he waved his hand,

"Invite him to the front room."

"Yes."

After the housekeeper retreated, Leng Xi said in a deep voice to the servants beside him:

"Is it all arranged?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made."

"Well, that's good, success or failure depends on this, hahaha!"

After saying that, he laughed wildly and walked out the door.

After five years of guarding, today is the first time he has entered the palace openly. He must do something earth-shattering today.

In the past five years, the country of Daning has undergone earth-shaking changes. Although the emperor's body remains the same, he is old and just wants to live a leisurely life, so he has ignored the government affairs and continues to hand over all affairs to Leng Yu.

According to the news from Yang Feng, on New Year's Day this year, the emperor is planning to pass the throne to Leng Yu. From now on, he will only be a leisurely emperor.

Leng Xi would never allow this to happen, so he decided to advance his original plan of waiting for the emperor's death.

While thinking about this, he came to the main hall of Prince Xi's Mansion. When Yu Shiming saw him coming, he stood up and clasped his fists,

"Prince Xi..."

Leng Xi's expression softened a lot in an instant. Although his relationship with Yu Qiaoqiao was still lukewarm, Yu Shiming still played a great role in his achievement of great things.

"You're welcome, Mr. Yu. Please take a seat."

Yu Shiming sat down on the spot and then said:

"It's not appropriate to take action tomorrow."

Leng Xi frowned and asked,

"Why?"

"According to my investigation, Leng Yu seems to have noticed it. He has deployed more than three times the number of people inside and outside the capital than before. He has also made preparations to prevent unrest when someone announces him as the new emperor in the New Year. Be prepared. There are tens of thousands of imperial guards in the Light Palace. Even the people guarding the entrance of the palace are extremely skilled. One can defeat a thousand. Even if you make perfect preparations, you can't guarantee that everything will go wrong. I'm here After thinking about it for a few days, I still feel that you should not rebel in a big way, it is really too reckless."

Leng Xi suddenly slapped the table with a livid face, gritted his teeth and snorted:

"For tomorrow, I have endured for five years. In the past five years, when facing Leng Yu, I have always been humble and even groveling. Now, I am ready to cooperate inside and outside to take him down in one fell swoop, but you are here Come and ask me to back off now, do you want to pull out my wedge at this critical moment?"

Seeing that Leng Xi was a little excited, Yu Shiming immediately shook his head and explained:

"You have misunderstood me. I know that you have prepared well enough and have arranged a lot of people inside and outside the capital. But suddenly so many new faces came to the capital, and in this free time, do you think Leng Yu will be there?" Did you notice? Don’t forget that most of the troops in Daning Kingdom are in his hands. Now you want to use your own strength to compete with him. This is simply throwing an egg against a stone."

Seeing that Yu Shiming looked down on him, Leng Xi felt angry for a moment. He snorted coldly and said disdainfully:

"Huh, you must also know, Mr. Yu, that I have not been idle in the past five years. I have accumulated more than [-] troops. They have been stationed in hidden places outside the city, waiting for me. With an order, we will rush into the capital..."

Seeing that Leng Xi couldn't explain it, Yu Shiming asked angrily:

"In the past five years, you have been recruiting people. Is Leng Yu idle? He has also been recruiting troops. Even if you have an unknown mysterious army behind you, it is far less than Leng Yu's thousands of troops. , not to mention he still has a Rebirth Hall available..."

"Humph!"

Leng Xi suddenly slapped the table angrily, then shouted with a red face,

"Are you raising other people's ambitions and destroying your own prestige? If you don't want to participate, then please do so. I, Lengxi, will not be short of your thousands of people..."

"Ugh!"

Yu Shiming sighed helplessly, and then continued to persuade:

"What's scary about me? If you really rebel, with Qiaoqiao and Xiaobao here, I, Yu Shiming, can't escape my relationship with you. I'm just discussing the matter, and I don't mean to throw cold water on you. I just think that you If you want to deal with Leng Yu and want the throne, you have to go beyond rebellion. This way is too risky and doesn't have much chance of winning."

Although Leng Xi felt that Yu Shiming's words made sense, when he said these words at this time, he still gasped angrily, pointed at his nose, and roared:

"Don't you think it's a little too late for you to remind me of this now?"

"I've warned you before, but you haven't heard of it. As someone who has experienced the previous coup, I want to remind you, don't take it for granted that you can easily win the throne with tens of thousands of elite soldiers. If it's that simple , this throne is no longer held by your Leng family."

After saying this, Yu Shiming stood up and said seriously again before leaving:

"Wu Yuanzhang is in Beihai. In the past two years, Beihai has been preparing to launch a war against Daning. A few days ago, he wrote to me privately, hoping to cooperate with you. Please think carefully about whether you need to use people from Beihai to come. To achieve your goal, if necessary, come to me at any time. Even if you don't want to collude with the people of Beihai Kingdom, I think it is better to deal with Leng Yu behind the scenes and confront him openly. You are no match... "

Leaving behind these ruthless words, Yu Shiming waved his sleeves and walked out of the main hall without looking back.

Leng Xi's brows instantly knitted into a tight knot. He looked at Yu Shiming's back, suddenly clenched his fists, and slammed the table. A nameless feeling of irritation surged into his heart...
