Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

"It has been three days since the incident occurred. No matter what the other party's purpose was, something should have happened. However, it has been quiet these past few days, which means that His Majesty must still be alive. Otherwise, in order to exchange, they would only rush early instead of late."

Everyone looked at the rags on the thorns, Fu Heng analyzed this.

Why rush early instead of late? Because if a person dies, no matter how well-preserved the body is, it will gradually rot from the inside.

Everyone knows how important the body of a country's emperor is.

This can be considered good news.

At least Jun Yuyan is still alive.

I just don’t know who the other person is and what they want to do.

If they were Huns, they would not be able to escape a large-scale search, unless they were natives of Dayan with inconspicuous faces.

Murong Jiu ordered: "Continue to send people to search, and don't miss any caves or farmhouses."

Jun Yuyan's injury must be serious. Zhou Li said that he was hit by an arrow and fell off the cliff. Even if he was cushioned, he would be seriously injured.

It is not easy to escape with a seriously injured person. It is very likely that you will find a place to stabilize Jun Yuyan's injury.

Murong Jiu himself also went looking for it with Kaixuan.

However, three days passed and nothing was found.

There were complaints in the court about her not showing up for three days.

Murong Jiu had to return to the palace secretly to stabilize the situation.

The old and the new were changing, and there were too many things in the government that needed to be dealt with by Murong Jiu. When she returned to the palace, she spent the whole afternoon approving the papers. These were the results after Lou Zixi screened them for her.

Concubine Qi started a hunger strike again.

Murong Jiu had no intention of paying attention to her.

In the morning of the next day, many officials began to inquire about His Majesty's whereabouts.

After all, the search for "fugitives" outside the palace was too loud to hide from everyone, and many people began to worry that something had happened to the emperor.

It has been half a month since the emperor fell ill.

In addition, Murong Jiu was "sick" for three days. This unusual situation made many officials feel uneasy.

"To be honest, His Majesty was ill and recuperating a while ago, but he actually went to Chenzhou City..."

Without changing his expression, Murong Jiu told everyone what Jun Yuyan had done in Chenzhou City. Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when they learned that His Majesty had saved millions of people in Chenzhou City.

No one thought that the governor of Chenzhou actually colluded with the Xiongnu and wanted to blow up the lake embankment at night while it was raining. If the rainwater rose and the lake was destroyed again, the entire Chenzhou city would be flooded, causing countless casualties and the consequences would be unimaginable. .

At that time, the plague will still easily occur. Chenzhou City is not far from the capital, and the plague is very likely to spread to the capital...

Thinking of such consequences, everyone couldn't help but feel chills in their backs and fear.

"His Majesty has also discovered that several border officials are suspected of colluding with enemy countries. They are currently on a private visit incognito and will return soon. During this period, I will continue to oversee politics behind closed doors."

These words can be regarded as knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger.

Regardless of whether some officials have colluded with the Huns or other countries, after today, these people will have to think carefully about it.

His Majesty paid a private visit incognito, and local officials had to work hard to serve the people to avoid having their black gauze hats removed from their heads.

On the second day, Murong Jiu listed the evidence that the governor of Chenzhou colluded with foreign enemies and intended to flood the city of Chenzhou. He announced that he would be paraded through the streets for three days and that he would be executed in the market after three days.

As soon as this incident came out, it greatly aroused the people's enthusiasm to spurn corrupt officials, and also diverted the attention of officials.

Three days later, the governor of Chenzhou was beheaded at Caishikou. Countless people cheered and praised the new emperor and queen for their wisdom and martial prowess.

This is a good start, as if a new Yan Dynasty is about to kick off.

However, Murong Jiu always shed tears unconsciously when no one was around.

Everything in Kunning Palace seemed to have memories shared by her and Jun Yuyan.

She knew that she could not fall. Once she fell, the empire that she and Jun Yuyan had finally won might be easy to fall into the hands of others, and her two children would also suffer disaster.

But she felt so uncomfortable.

Why did fate play such a joke on her?

It has been six full days since I returned to the palace from Hongya Mountain that day.

And Jun Yuyan seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, with no trace of his whereabouts.

She deceived the officials and said that His Majesty was paying a private visit incognito, but even she didn't know whether Jun Yuyan was alive or dead and when he would be back.

She didn't know how long she could hold on.

The maid below said that she was becoming more and more dignified. Ever since Jun Yuyan disappeared, there was no smile on her face anymore.

Some people think that this is the influence that power has had on her. There are even people in the capital who say that when the emperor returns to the palace, she may not give up power. Such unbelievable words.

But she also knew that everyone believed that the imperial power was supreme and could dominate everything. It seemed normal that she would get lost in power and become ambitious.

Even Concubine Qi thinks so, doesn’t she?

Concubine Qi thought she had killed Jun Yuyan and went on a hunger strike for several days. She was so hungry that she was starving. Murong Jiu had no other choice but to control him and force-feed her medicine.

Although Concubine Qi was arrogant and unreasonable, at least one thing about her was worthy of recognition. Now, she cared about her son Jun Yuyan very much and was willing to die on a hunger strike for her son.

Murong Jiu didn't want to lie to her either.

However, after telling Concubine Qi the truth, Concubine Qi felt even more that she had assassinated Jun Yuyan and wanted to be the Queen Regent.

"Am I crazy? I have a deep relationship with His Majesty, and my two children cannot lack father's love. I don't know what misunderstanding the concubine has for me, but if I have any intention of harming Your Majesty, I will be struck by thunder and die badly. !”

Seeing the coldness in her eyes, Concubine Qi opened her mouth and closed it again.

She cried and wiped away her tears: "Even if it wasn't you who caused it, it was your fault. My son has only been emperor for a few days and such bad news has come. How can you let me live!"

Murong Jiu's eyes were cold: "Your Majesty will not die, he will definitely return to the palace. If bad news really comes one day, when Zhi Jin becomes adults and secures the throne, I will immediately go to bury him."

Her tone was extremely serious. Concubine Qi knew that she was not lying. The word "burial" came out of her mouth with a sense of determination.

Concubine Qi suddenly discovered that Murong Jiu was no less sad than she was. She could even see that Murong Jiu's eyes were red and swollen, with red blood streaks visible in his eye sockets, and his eyes were blue and black, as if he had not slept well for several days. .

She turned her head away and stopped talking.

Murong Jiu turned around, walked a few steps, and then looked back: "I asked Zhijin Zhiyu to accompany you. Please take care of yourself, otherwise you will fall ill before His Majesty returns to the palace. "

"You're the one who can't afford to be sick!"

Concubine Qi muttered, but her eyes were not as cold as before.

She understood that Murong Jiu wanted her grandchildren to accompany her and distract her from her wild thoughts.

Thinking about it this way, Murong Jiu had to deal with government affairs every day and also had to keep an eye on Jun Yuyan's whereabouts. It was not easy for his weak body to support him.
