After the late Emperor established the Phoenix Monarch, the Duke of Huainan stayed in the capital for a few years. The late Emperor gave birth to the First Princess and the Second Princess. When he heard that the late Empress Palace had new people, the Duke of Huainan could no longer stay and took the initiative to resign from the border.
The late Emperor couldn't persuade him, so he could only let him go.
However, not long after he left, he received an imperial edict telling him to return to the capital immediately.
The person who came did not say anything, and the imperial edict told him to return quickly. The Duke of Huainan was worried that something would happen to the late Emperor, so he immediately returned to the capital.
When he returned to the capital, he saw the late Emperor who was five months pregnant. It had been exactly five months since he left …
This child was the Third Princess, Xian Yang.
The late Emperor had a child with him, but he still had no status. Even if he entered the palace as someone else, it was impossible for the child to be raised by him.
At the critical moment of the late Emperor's birth, chaos broke out at the border. The Duke of Huainan was duty-bound to lead his troops to battle, just to give the Emperor in his heart a golden age of peace.
This war lasted for nearly seven or eight years. When he moved his troops back to the imperial court, he found that the situation in the imperial court was obscure and the late Emperor was restrained by others.
At that time, Dai Xu had already appeared, and unknowingly, he had gathered a large number of ministers around him. Although he could not face the late Emperor, the late Emperor did not dare to touch her.
The Duke of Huainan held a large number of troops in his hands. As soon as he returned to the capital, he was impeached by the ministers led by Dai Xu.
In order to protect him, the late Emperor advised him to hand over his military power and go to Huainan.
This area of Huainan had always been known as the most chaotic place in Feng Luan, and it was also difficult for Dai Xu to interfere. The late Emperor's meaning was very clear. He wanted to go to Huainan and subdue those people for his own use, waiting for an opportunity.
However, this opportunity did not come until the late Emperor died.
Before the late Emperor died, he dealt with the First Princess and the Second Princess with an iron-blooded method of harming the enemy and sacrificing a thousand of his own. He pushed Xian Yang onto the throne because he knew that he would protect Xian Yang's throne in Huainan.
When the First Princess rebelled, he took the opportunity to make Dai Xu think that he was interested in the throne and revealed some of his strength. Although the rebellion had allowed Dai Xu's party to grow stronger, Dai Xu did not dare to act rashly.
This kind of balance was the best result at that time.
Right now, he was cooperating with King Yu in order to completely annihilate Dai Xu's traitors. But he didn't expect that this little girl who only knew how to eat, drink, and play would have such unfathomable means. Dai Xudang didn't make any waves and was suppressed by her.
"So … none of you poisoned me?" Shi Sheng touched his chin. This was interesting. Neither the Duke of Huainan nor Dai Xu poisoned them. Then who poisoned them?
"Poison?" The Duke of Huainan was shocked and asked hurriedly, "What happened? Why haven't I heard anything about it? "
Then, he seemed to have thought of something. "What happened last time wasn't an accident. Was someone trying to kill you?"
The time of the original owner's death was too short, and Dai Xudang deliberately blocked the news, so when the Duke of Huainan received the news, Shi Sheng had already returned to the palace safely.
Shi Sheng did not continue the conversation and changed the topic. "Is that all you wanted to tell me?"
The Duke of Huainan wanted to ask what was going on, but looking at Shi Sheng's appearance, he was unable to ask for a moment. He opened his mouth and said after a long while, "I have a special force in my hands. It was given to me by the late emperor. This special force was secretly cultivated by the royal family and has been loyal to the Empress for generations. It should have been given to you by the late emperor when you received the edict, but … Now I will return it to you. "
He had thought that this child still needed his protection, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would have no use for it at all.
The Duke of Huainan took out a small whistle from his sleeve. "This whistle can't be heard by ordinary people, but the messenger bird raised by the special force can hear it. If there is an order for the messenger bird to pass on, they will complete it."
Ling Yi took the whistle and handed it to Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng held the whistle and looked at it, then ordered the Duke of Huainan to be taken away.
The Duke of Huainan probably knew that she needed time to think about these things. Without any refutation, he followed the others.
"Your Majesty …" Ling Yi called out weakly. Was this true or false?
"Try it and you will know." Shi Sheng's mouth hooked up a strange smile.
She cleaned the whistle with spiritual energy, then put it to her mouth and blew it. Sure enough, no sound came out, but Shi Sheng felt that the spiritual energy in the air fluctuated, which proved that there was sound coming out.
Soon Shi Sheng heard a fluttering sound outside the window, and a moment later, there was the sound of a woodpecker pecking wood.
Ling Yi went to open the window. A snow-white bird fluttered in from the window and directly landed on the dragon table in front of Shi Sheng. It tilted its little head and looked at Shi Sheng with its red little eyes. It was a very smart bird.
Its appearance was a bit like a pigeon, but its feathers were much softer, and the tail feathers were bright red, yellow, and blue.
"Chirp chirp?" The bird chirped, as if it was urging Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng reached out and caught the bird. The bird fluttered twice, "Chirp chirp chirp!" Why did you catch it!!!
"It turned out to be a spiritual bird." Shi Sheng pulled the bird's wings, ignoring the bird's protest.
This bird's body was full of spiritual energy, so it could already be considered a spiritual bird, which was why it was so human-like.
Shi Sheng found a message tube on the bird's feather-covered foot. Shi Sheng asked Ling Yi to write a few words and put it in, then let go of the fluttering bird.
The bird jumped onto the table and shook its messy feathers. Seeing a few feathers shake out from its body, the bird immediately chirped angrily and fluttered to the ink slab next to it. After staining its claws with ink, it jumped onto the memorial on the table and stamped on it, leaving a series of bird footprints.
Shi Sheng: "…"
Ling Yi: "…"
"Chirp chirp chirp!!" Who told you to catch me!! Hmph!!
The bird was about to leave, but who knew that a pair of big hands would cover it. In the next second, its entire body was pressed into the ink. Its feathers were stained with the sticky ink, and it turned from a little white bird to a little black bird.
"Chirp chirp chirp!!"
"Chirp chirp chirp, do you think you're the only one who knows how to chirp?" Shi Sheng imitated it and chirped. "If you dare to mess around again, I'll stew you to drink soup."
The bird was so angry that it was trembling. It vigorously flapped its wings, flinging all the ink on its wings onto Shi Sheng's body and face.
Shi Sheng: "…"
"Chirp chirp chirp!!" Hmph!
The bird twisted its butt and flew outside.
"Catch that bird for me!!" Shi Sheng slammed the table and roared.
The bird was so shocked by the roar that it almost fell from the sky. It obviously understood, so it sped up and flew out of the window. In a flash, it flew up to the roof. Once it was in the sky, it would not be so easy for the imperial guards to catch a bird.
Ling Yi: "…" He did not really understand his Majesty. Sometimes, he was even too lazy to care about people. Why was he so serious about a small animal now? Was it really okay to bully a small animal? You are the Emperor, pay attention to your status!
