Chapter 1430 No Escape
Fan Yugan had just taken a wide-mouthed sweet porcelain tea cup and poured himself a cup of tea. Before he could bring it to his mouth, he suddenly heard Lu Fenglang's words and asked, "What?"
"The last time I went to the palace to present a treasure to the queen, I once told the queen... that the seventh prince can be promoted to the throne. The queen only needs to stay by the emperor's side when the emperor is about to die, and stamp the imperial seal on the imperial edict passed to the seventh prince. , hide it under the emperor's pillow, and when the emperor is about to die, take out the imperial edict in front of the important ministers and the prince!" Lu Fenglang tightly clenched the cup in his hand, "In this way, we Da Zhou will become the strongest backing for their mother and son. ! I don’t know if... the second prince suddenly forcing the palace this time is related to this matter!"
Fan Yugan stared at Lu Fenglang with wide eyes. He really didn't expect that Lu Yuanpeng's sister would have such courage to let the queen of another country make a fake imperial edict to usurp power so straightforwardly.
"Aren't you afraid...Aren't you afraid that the emperor has already made arrangements by imperial edict?" Fan Yugan asked.
"Even if the emperor had an imperial edict, he might have changed his mind before he left! What's more... I once hinted to the queen that if you want to win the throne, you must dare to sacrifice your life. If the new emperor and the adult queen can be buried in the imperial edict, Among them... the credibility is even greater! When the new emperor ascends the throne and becomes an adult and has full power, the worst possible outcome is that the Queen Mother will leave the palace to take care of herself. This is all done by humans!"
Huge waves surged in Fan Yugan's heart. I have to say...if the imperial edict mentioned by Lu Fenglang was taken out, no one would dare to suspect that it was a fraud by the queen. After all...it required the queen to be buried!
He admired Sister Lu's resourcefulness, but... her courage frightened Fan Yugan!
Fan Yugan didn't know what to say for a moment, but just stared at Lu Fenglang.
"I don't know if there is something wrong with the queen this time when the second prince raises an issue!" Lu Fenglang felt uneasy in her heart, "Would it implicate Master Liu."
She just wanted to support a puppet emperor to ascend the throne for Da Zhou, and this emperor could not be deceived by the evil words of Yan Kingdom and Tianfeng Kingdom, and could listen to Da Zhou's words.
Fan Yugan did not drink the tea in his hand, swallowed a sip of saliva, lowered his eyes and thought... If the second prince knew that Da Zhou and the queen were teaming up to put a several-year-old baby on the throne, then what he had said to the second prince before Those who say that it doesn’t matter which emperor the Zhou Dynasty puts on the throne, if they only want peace along the coast, will the second prince still believe it?
What's more terrible is that the second prince is a man who is determined to retaliate. If he really finds out that Da Zhou is trying to help the queen's legitimate son ascend the throne behind his back, will he kill Master Liu in a rage?
"After all, she is also a queen. She shouldn't be discovered by the second prince by accident, right?" Fan Yugan breathed a little impetuously.
"It's hard to say. The second prince has spies around the eldest prince. The queen..." Lu Fenglang frowned and placed the tea cup in his hand on the table. "The queen, although I asked the queen to step back and speak. Yes, but who knows if the second prince may be among the people trusted by the queen."
Lu Fenglang must now calculate according to the worst outcome: "When we see King Hancheng, we must make King Hancheng prepare to send troops... Then, we will come to pick up Mr. Liu in person. If the second prince can take care of the situation just now, When you ascend the throne, you need to stabilize the situation of the government and not let the eldest prince take advantage of you. Naturally, you will understand that you cannot have trouble with Da Zhou!"
Fan Yugan thought for a while and felt that this was the only way at the moment. However, Lu Fenglang and he were still young and were still children in the eyes of the Zhou Dynasty courtiers. He didn't know if the Hancheng King would listen to them!
"After we go back, we will discuss it with Mr. Cai first. If Mr. Cai is willing to come forward to persuade King Hancheng, the chance will be greater!" Fan Yugan said.
Lu Fenglang nodded, feeling very upset. If it was really her idea that led to this palace change, she would be completely to blame.
Because they returned to Dazhou this time without bringing anything, and they only had food for ten days on board, they traveled very quickly. It was estimated that they could reach Dazhou in about seven or eight days.
Unexpectedly, when the sun just rose on the fourth day, the navy fleet of Dongyi Kingdom actually caught up with them.
The helmsman stood on the bow of the ship and gasped when he saw the flag of the Dongyi Navy flying, and immediately asked someone to ring the bell: "The Navy of the Dongyi Kingdom is coming! Ring the bell! The Navy of the Dongyi Kingdom is coming!"
The ship's bell rang, and the officer shouted: "Full speed ahead! The sailors are in position! Pull up the sail! Quick! Quick! Quick!"
There was chaos on the ship's plywood and in the cabin.
In the cabin, the sailors who were on duty to rest were also called out, and they immediately took their positions. A group of six people rowed an oar, sliding to the sound of the leader's horn.
On the deck, more than a dozen sailors who were dedicated to taking care of the sails pulled the sails and adjusted them to the direction of the wind.
Lu Fenglang was washing when she heard the sound, came out of the room, and staggered against the door panel. She calmed down and walked to the deck while holding on to the wooden wall.
The sun rises in the east, dyeing the sky and the endless sea into fiery red. Countless giant ships come with great force from the red light illuminated by the morning light, like giant beasts that are about to approach and have already revealed their fangs.
Lu Fenglang's heart was in her throat. She held on to the swaying guardrail and looked across the sea horizon. More Dongyi Navy ships were appearing densely in front of her eyes.
The vast sea... there is no escape!
But what she was more concerned about at this time was not her own safety, but Liu Rushi's!
The Dongyi Kingdom has now created such a huge battle to chase them. This is almost like fighting them in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Is it just to chase them back?
Obviously not!
Is it possible that the second prince of Dongyi Kingdom wanted to start a war with Zhou Dynasty after usurping power?
So...how is Mr. Liu doing now? Is he still alive?
"What are you doing here!" As soon as Fan Yugan came out of the cabin, he saw Lu Fenglang standing at the guardrail and looking out. He rushed over and grabbed Lu Fenglang's arm. "The speed of the ship is going to increase. It's safer to go back to the cabin!"
"I don't know Master Liu..." Lu Fenglang's voice was almost drowned out by the sailors' shouts.
Fan Yugan glanced into the distance and said to Lu Fenglang: "Before I came here, I promised Yuan Peng that I would take good care of you! I know you are worried about Mr. Liu, but you standing here will not help Mr. Liu's situation! Mr. Liu let We ordered to leave just to save our lives. We can’t let Mr. Liu’s sacrifice be in vain. Let’s go!”
After saying that, Fan Yugan almost dragged Lu Fenglang into the cabin.
As soon as the two entered the cabin, they heard a sailor outside the cabin shouting: "It's our Dazhou ship! It's the flag of our Dazhou Navy! Quick! Raise the flag of our Dazhou Navy! Hurry!"
