Quick Wear: When the Affectionate Male Supporting Character Gets the Script of a Cool Stories

The battle at the border is imminent, and there is not much time for discussion in the capital.

An imperial edict was issued, and Helan Jue became the commander-in-chief of the army again. He assembled an army at the city gate before dawn, and the Southern Emperor personally saw him off.

He looked at Helan Jue wearing silver armor, as if he had returned to the past.

That dazzling young man was the child of him and his beloved. When he thought of this, Emperor Nan was very pleased. Among all his children, Helan Jue was the best.

Fortunately, God did not let Xunzhi down and let him recover his health. I believe she can rest in peace in her grave.

I just hope this time it will be safe.

"Helan Jue, I order you to return safely from this trip!"

After saying that, the Southern Emperor turned his gaze to the generals around Helan Jue. This time he also sent out the commander of the Imperial Guards, and specially ordered Leng Changlin to pick out an elite force from the Imperial Guards.

They don’t need to worry about anything else, their only mission is to protect Helan Jue.

Of course, when necessary, some news and trends also need to be passed back to Beijing.

The Southern Emperor glanced at Helan Yun. He was just worried that the mother and son in the East Palace would take action again.

"If there is anything wrong with the King of Dingbei, I will only hold you responsible!"

Leng Changlin and a group of imperial guards responded loudly.

Helan Jue said calmly, "Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Your Majesty, why should you blame me so harshly? It's getting late. We should get going."

After he finished speaking, his gaze swept across Jiang Xu in the crowd, and his eyes softened for a moment, as if ice had melted.

He and Jiang Xu had already discussed many things and many words the night before they left. Now that everyone was watching, there was no need to say them again.

But as they were about to part, he couldn't help but look at him once, and once more.

The Southern Emperor noticed his look and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will protect your princess."

The sound of horse hooves could be heard, and the team heading to Yanbei was getting farther and farther away. Many family members followed the team for a while, and said goodbye reluctantly.

Jiang Xu was still standing at the city gate. He didn't like seeing off people, and he didn't like looking at their backs when they parted. He just hoped to return home soon.

When leaving the city gate, Helan Yun glanced at him, Jiang Xu returned his gaze, nodded and smiled politely, and then got on the carriage and left accompanied by Huo Ying.

Helan Yun stared at the carriage until it disappeared behind the city gate, and snorted with an ambiguous laugh.

Jiang Xu is now much more grown up than before. Not only has the soft flesh on his face faded away, making his facial lines clear and beautiful, but his temperament has also become much more stable than before.

When he stood there quietly, he was not only good-looking, but also somewhat alluring.

There's really no point in rushing forward.

What a pity! If he had grown up to this appearance earlier, or if he had acted faster back then, Jiang Xu would not have fallen into the hands of Helan Jue.

Helan Jue, he has disguised himself so well over the years. While he and Helan Cheng were fighting and both were injured, he took control of Jiang Xu and the Duke's Mansion.

The poison has been resolved and his leg has been healed. If he can settle this border incident without any danger as he did back then, I'm afraid he will really have to give up the throne!

In the past, the Queen Mother was only wary of Helan Jue because of his great achievements, but who would have thought that he was actually...!

No wonder even though Helan Jue was the emperor's younger brother and his achievements surpassed those of the emperor, his father never feared him.

No wonder Helan Jue was useless after retreating from the battlefield, and my father always showed excessive care and concern for the Dingbei Palace!

No wonder when Helan Jue proposed to the emperor, his father granted the marriage without hesitation and even let the palace arrange the wedding, giving Helan Jue the utmost honor!

It turns out that there is such a disgusting truth behind it.

Helan Yun couldn't help but sneer.

When he thought of the look in his father's eyes when he looked at Helan Jue just now, and the joy he had witnessed in recent days when his father was happy after Helan Jue's leg injury healed, the fire in Helan Yun's heart burned more and more fiercely.

When he learned of his mother's actions, he did not fully agree with them.

Now it seems that if they, mother and son, do not take the initiative, it is possible that their father will pass the throne to Helan Jue.

After all, he was so proud of Helan Jue.

And what is he?

A sinister gleam flashed across Helan Yun's usually gentle and bright face.

Imperial City.

As soon as Emperor Nan returned to the palace, he covered his chest and started coughing violently, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Eunuch Gao beside him quickly brought over some tea and said, "Your Majesty, I will call the imperial physician right away!"

After taking a deep breath, Emperor Nan sighed, "Don't make it public. This is not a good thing."

He could clearly feel that ever since the incident with the fourth brother, his health had been getting worse day by day. Perhaps it was because of the grief and sadness, or perhaps it was also because of the chronic poisons that Concubine Zhao had taken.

In addition, due to the emergency at the border this time, Helan Jue was sent out, and the Southern Emperor always had a bad feeling in his heart.

He had participated in the fight for the throne, and he knew what was going on in the mind of the prince.

If... the prince really fails to hold on this time, he will not show mercy anymore.

……

Helan Jue headed north with food and supplies. His familiarity with the road enabled him to reach the northern border in just two days, beyond everyone's expectations.

On the way, he ordered his troops to split into two groups. One group took a part of the baggage and disguised it as a caravan and headed north by water, while the other group took the land route to confuse the Turkic spies planted in the Southern Dynasty.

After the disguised team arrived at the northern border two days later, they took advantage of the time and information gap to attack the Turkic army that was attacking Xianzhou by surprise.

Helan Jue directly took the life of Tuoba Di, the vanguard sent by the Turks to attack the city. The victory in the first battle greatly boosted the morale of the army and also defeated the morale of the Turkish army.

The Turkic soldiers witnessed Helan Jue's return to the battlefield with his fierce and bloodthirsty appearance. After escaping, they spread the news of the return of the God of War among the Turkic army.

Later, he was beheaded by the Turkic prince and displayed to the public in order to stabilize the morale of the army, but the effect was not very obvious.

Or maybe the shadow that Helan Jue left in their hearts was too big.

When this news reached the capital of the Southern Dynasty, everyone in the court and the country was filled with joy!

My admiration for Helan Jue has reached a new level. This battle further proves that he is the undefeated god of war who defeated the Turks. He was the undefeated god of war back then, and he still is after so many years!

At the same time, there was another not-so-good news in the capital.

The Southern Emperor fell ill and ordered the Crown Prince to govern the country.

It was not a good sign for the emperor to fall ill in the midst of battle.

Fortunately, the crown prince who was acting as regent was very organized. Seeing that he was capable of handling matters on his own, the court officials were no longer worried. They were all prepared to welcome the new monarch, and they all showed their goodwill to the crown prince. The former faction of the four princes also leaned towards Helan Yun.

On the contrary, the father and son of the Su family, who should have been very close to the prince, were still keeping a distance from him as usual.

Some smart people also vaguely sensed that Prime Minister Su was much colder towards the Crown Prince than before, which made people puzzled.

Over the next month, the Southern Emperor's condition did not improve. From time to time, news of victory came from the border, but the Turks seemed to know that the Southern Emperor was seriously ill and did not want to give up so easily.

After being repelled by Helan Jue, they stayed behind and occupied Peizhou, which they had initially captured, and threatened to cease fire and negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty, saying that if they were given money and horses, they would retreat to the grassland and return Peizhou and its people.

In response to this, the King of Dingbei who was stationed at the border said, what a joke!

How can a defeated army have the dignity to negotiate?

If it weren't for the people in Peizhou city, Helan Jue would have led the Yanbei army to wipe out the remaining Turkic troops.

When the situation in Peizhou was at a stalemate, bad news came from the capital.

The Southern Emperor's condition has worsened, and it is time to support the crown prince to ascend the throne.

People in the court gradually began to feel strange. The emperor had not shown up since he became seriously ill. Although the explanation given by the Imperial Hospital was tactful, the ministers could all see their dilemma.

The cabinet wanted to enter the palace to visit His Majesty and confirm the situation, but was stopped by the Queen.

Some loyal ministers who did not take sides began to question whether the actions of the Crown Prince and the Queen were hypocritical.

But the Southern Emperor will not show up, and the Crown Prince is the legitimate Crown Prince. If the Southern Emperor really dies at this time, the Crown Prince will still be the successor. If they make a mess now, what will happen in the future?

Moreover, the situation at the border has not yet ended, and the turmoil in the court is unfavorable.

……

The emperor's bedroom.

Queen Su was wearing a phoenix robe and serving medicine in front of the dragon bed. Her expression was very gentle.

The red-dyed nails with exquisitely crafted armor were holding a handkerchief, wiping the medicine spilling from the lips of the Southern Emperor without any disdain, "Your Majesty, how can you get better without taking the medicine?"

The pale-faced Southern Emperor glared angrily at the woman in front of him, his legitimate wife who had given birth to the prince.

"Vicious woman!"

Empress Su smiled gently and wiped the liquid from the Southern Emperor's lips again. "No matter how much your Majesty scolds you, it's useless. Now you're in my hands. If your Majesty had honestly written the edict of succession, Yun'er could have made you the emperor and let you enjoy your old age in the palace. Why did you have to make it like this?"

"Impossible! I can't possibly hand over the throne to a mother and son like you who have such evil intentions! Vicious woman! Rebellious son!"

The Southern Emperor was exhausted. This sentence should have been full of vigor, but after he finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing, and blood flowed from his lips.

Empress Su still smiled, "Your Majesty, you are joking. When it comes to being vicious, who can be more vicious than you? You even dared to cuckold the late emperor, and you also had an affair with Ye and gave birth to a lowly child in the harem, and you actually raised him as your own brother."

"Your Majesty also knows that this matter cannot be made public, so he treats Helan Jue as his younger brother. If this matter were to spread outside the palace, people all over the world would probably laugh at him for a hundred years."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are wrong. You made my son the crown prince, and you still placed high hopes on that bastard. I, the queen, can be a joke, but my only son must not be a joke!"

The gentle smile on Queen Su's face finally disappeared, replaced by cruelty and viciousness.

She threw the remaining medicine bowl in her hand at the Southern Emperor's face. The emperor was in such an embarrassing state.

Nandi's hands were shaking with anger.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you don't write the edict. My son is the crown prince. As long as the emperor dies, he can still succeed to the throne. I am not in a hurry at this moment."

"I wanted to say goodbye to His Majesty, but His Majesty kept calling me a vicious woman and a rebellious son. I have guarded this harem for so many years, but His Majesty only said this in return. It is really chilling."

Queen Su stood up, straightened her phoenix robe, turned around and looked at the window. The night was pitch black.

It will be dawn soon.

"Your Majesty, what I just fed you was not some kind of medicine, but a good medicine to end your suffering. Just go on with your life."

"My son will ascend the throne smoothly, and I will become the queen mother. No other woman in this palace will be as noble as me."

Empress Su walked away in the night, her laughter, whether it was from happiness or madness, gradually fading away.

All the servants in the palace were transferred from the East Palace. After seeing what happened just now, no one dared to speak, let alone take care of the Southern Emperor who was lying on the dragon couch in a mess with bloodshot eyes.

Although I couldn't hear what they were saying because I was far away, I knew at a glance that Queen Su had just said something extremely treasonous.

One emperor and one courtier.

The people in the palace know this rule better than anyone else, and now they can only pretend they know nothing.

However, a young eunuch approached cautiously.

The person next to him grabbed him and said, "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"

The young eunuch said, "He is the emperor after all. Even if he wants to leave, he should be more respectful, right? If they come in tomorrow and see the miserable state of the palace, won't they become suspicious?"

The eunuch in charge thought about it and felt that it made sense, but when he turned around and met the Southern Emperor's vicious gaze, he did not dare to step forward at all, so he ordered the little eunuch, "You are smart, so you go up and tidy up His Majesty's appearance. Tomorrow when the new emperor ascends the throne, I will report your achievement to the Queen, oh no, I will report your achievement to the Queen Mother."

While saying this, the eunuch in charge looked at the back of the young eunuch as he went forward to serve the Southern Emperor, but in his heart he thought, what a smart guy, it seems that the Queen hates His Majesty, doing such a "good deed" may not necessarily lead to any credit!

Dawn broke in the sky, and a ray of light shone down, gradually illuminating the imperial city.

A scream erupted from the Emperor's chamber, breaking the silence.

"Someone come quickly! His Majesty has passed away!"

After the news came out, court officials submitted petitions one after another, stating that the border was not yet pacified and that the prince should immediately ascend the throne to stabilize the military morale.

But the crown prince was kind and filial, and insisted on taking care of the late emperor's funeral before discussing other things.

But on the day when the emperor's funeral was over, a horse came running from outside the capital, carrying a soldier covered in blood, risking his life to bring the news -

After Prince Dingbei pacified the Turks, he heard the news of Your Majesty's death and gathered his troops at the border. He was actually planning to lead the Yanbei army to attack the capital!

The government and the public have been so shocked that they are numb. What kind of news have they heard in these days?

If the 100,000-strong army from northern Yan really attacked the capital, only the 80,000-strong Annan army stationed in the southwest, plus the imperial guards and the imperial guards, could contend with them. And the military order to mobilize such a large army would only be effective if it was handed over by the emperor.

Therefore, it is urgent for the prince to ascend the throne!

There was no time left for the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the grand coronation ceremony. After preparing the dragon robe and crown, the prince would ascend the throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

But at this moment, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The man was dressed in black and red tights, with a slender and upright figure. He walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony step by step under the surprised and suspicious gazes of the crowd.

When the young man walked into the hall, everyone noticed that behind him was a very tall man in black holding a long sword.

Someone shouted, "How dare you! Who dares to bring weapons into the new emperor's coronation ceremony?"

Helan Yun, who was one step away from putting on the emperor's crown and sitting on the dragon throne, looked down at the platform and chuckled, "What is Princess Dingbei doing here at my coronation ceremony?"

Jiang Xu raised the corners of his lips, looked straight at him, and sneered: "I? Helan Yun, you really think you can sit firmly on the throne before you even start writing your destiny?"
