Chapter 193: Chaos in the Army

Royal Concubine?

What a generous move.

Yuan Ziying lowered her head and whispered, "I am just a commoner, how can I be qualified to be a royal concubine?"

Lu Mingxuan held her hand, his eyes smiling like spring: "What's wrong with being a commoner? You have done a great job in saving the emperor, even if you are made a county lady, it's fine. If you really care about your status, I will go to the palace in a few days to ask my father to give you a reward."

Yuan Ziying lowered her eyes and stared at his claws. She really wanted to ask him, after the prince was poisoned, how could he dare to get so close to her without any guard?

"I have poison on my hand." She said truthfully, "Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?"

Lu Mingxuan's face changed, and he subconsciously let go of her hand, then realized that he had overreacted, and held her hand again as if to make up for it: "You are a kind-hearted woman, and doctors are kind-hearted. Even if I was really poisoned, you couldn't just watch it, so I'm not afraid."

Yuan Ziying sneered silently, and when she raised her head, she had put on a kind expression: "I will prepare the antidote first, and wait three days to remove the remaining poison in the general's body. You go out first."

Lu Mingxuan nodded: "Okay."

He turned and walked out, sent someone into the palace to check the prince's poisoning, and then walked alone to the courtyard where the general Gong Liancheng lived.

Stepping over the threshold and dismissing the maid, Lu Mingxuan looked at Gong Liancheng leaning weakly against the bed, flipping through a piece of information in his hand, with an abnormal pale face.

"What's going on in the palace?" Hearing footsteps, Gong Liancheng looked up at him, his voice weak, "Is the emperor okay?"

"My father is still dying, the prince is poisoned, and the queen is anxious. Now everything is under my control." Lu Mingxuan walked to the side and sat down, "As long as the prince is still poisoned, the queen should not dare to let my father die too early."

Once the emperor dies, it is necessary to immediately decide on the new emperor's successor.

The prince is a natural choice.

However, if he appears in front of people, rolling on the ground in pain due to poisoning, and the imperial doctors are all helpless, will the civil and military officials of the court agree to let the prince succeed to the throne?

Even if they agree, the prince will not be able to hold the coronation ceremony.

The queen knows that as long as the prince's poison is not cured, the emperor cannot die. After all, if the palace is really in chaos, it is a question whether they can still survive.

Gong Liancheng thought of Yuan Ziying who had detoxified him, and a little doubt appeared in his eyes: "What is the origin of that female doctor, has your highness checked it?"

Lu Mingxuan shook his head slowly: "There is no result yet, but this is not important, anyway, she doesn't need to live after the matter is done."

Gong Liancheng showed him the information in his hand: "Yong Dynasty raised troops against Qi State, and it seems that it has the posture of unifying the world."

"What?" Lu Mingxuan's face changed, and he quickly took the information and looked at it carefully, "How could it be?"

Qi State and Yong Dynasty have never had any contact, why would they suddenly raise troops?

Gong Liancheng looked cold: "As far as I know, the war horses and weapons of Northern Qi should not be underestimated. This time, the war between Yong Dynasty and Qi State came very strangely and was really unexpected."

Lu Mingxuan looked doubtful: "While Northern Liang is in civil strife, Yong State wants to unify the world?"

Gong Liancheng sneered: "That should be the idea."

Lu Mingxuan frowned and began to worry about Northern Liang: "If Yong Dynasty unifies the world before the civil strife in Northern Liang ends-"

"Impossible." Gong Liancheng interrupted him coldly, with murderous eyes, "The new emperor of Yong Dynasty is just a woman. Even if she is ambitious, she can't swallow up four countries alone. If she really dares to do so, the consumption of troops and treasury will be very alarming, and Yong State will fall into an unprecedented predicament."

Lu Mingxuan nodded slowly, as if he believed him.

But although the emperor of Yong Dynasty was a woman, she was also a female warrior who had actually fought with Gong Liancheng on the battlefield and defeated the Northern Liang army several times.

Such a woman, before raising troops against Qi, didn't she think of all the ways out?

Gong Liancheng said calmly: "Your Majesty, please tell the Black Armor Army to come to the palace tonight. I have something to discuss with them."

"Okay."

Lu Mingxuan agreed, but he didn't expect that when Gong Liancheng was poisoned and unconscious, there was a huge chaos in the Black Armor Army outside the suburbs. I don't know who spread the rumor that Gong Liancheng wanted to rebel in the army, saying that the general had the intention of killing the emperor because he surrendered to the second prince.

But the emperor survived the disaster, and the second prince and the general will be questioned soon.

This rumor is so outrageous that it makes people feel incredible.

Lu Mingxuan was so angry that he immediately ordered people to investigate who spread the rumor.

When the rumor maker behind the scenes is caught, he will definitely let him die without a burial place!

It was obviously the queen and her son who wanted the emperor to die, so how did they say that the general had the intention of killing the emperor?

Once this crime was put on him, the general who was originally defending his country instantly became a traitor.

What was even more infuriating was that there were discordant voices within the Black Family Army. Some people deliberately instigated that the general's attachment to the second prince would mean that he would become the prince's mortal enemy.

If the general wanted to rebel, all the generals of the Black Armor Army would be implicated.

These generals were originally neutral.

They defended their country and obeyed the general's orders, but they never thought about which prince the general would be loyal to. The generals were all people with family backgrounds, and they were worried that once they were involved in the crime of treason, their wives, children and mothers would be implicated in the future.

So when Lu Mingxuan sent someone to pass on the message and asked the generals in the army to go to the Prince Duan's Mansion for a discussion, after the generals discussed it, no one went.

This made Gong Liancheng furious.

He has always been strict in managing the army, and no one dared to disobey his orders.

I didn't expect that the Black Armor Army generals would disobey his orders this time.

He spat out a mouthful of blood in anger, which made his already weak body worse and he fell into a coma on the spot.

Lu Mingxuan urgently asked Yuan Ziying to detoxify him.

Yuan Ziying entered the room and saw Gong Liancheng's condition, frowning: "He was fine before, why did the poison corrode so badly all of a sudden?"

Lu Mingxuan's face was not very good: "I heard something and became angry."

"Angry?" Yuan Ziying turned her head and looked at him unhappily, "Didn't I say that you should avoid being too happy or angry these two days, and your emotions fluctuate greatly?"

"It's my fault." Lu Mingxuan smiled bitterly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yuan Ziying looked at Gong Liancheng, who was unconscious on the bed with a dark blue face. For a moment, she wanted him to die.

She didn't want to stay in this disgusting place at all. She wanted to go back to Yongguo and return to Her Majesty the Queen.

If Gong Liancheng died directly, she would no longer care about the Crown Prince of Beiliang.

How chaotic would Beiliang be?

Yuan Ziying curled her lips slightly, forget it, let him live a few more months.
