Among the people, that Eighth Prince who came out of nowhere and the Sixth Prince who sat alone on the dragon seat in the palace formed two factions. The Eighth Prince used inciting the Ninth Prince to massacre the city and the Sixth Prince's cowardice to win over the people's hearts. He also mentioned the Witchcraft incident back then, insisting that he was framed. In addition, there was indeed a portion of the former Eighth Brother's henchmen who supported him in secret. Because of this, his faction also gradually expanded.
Those former Eighth Brother's henchmen had originally escaped the calamity of the court clearing their names and were not found out. But they had always lived in fear, always feeling uneasy. It was as if this life was not their own and they were afraid that the court would recall this matter one day and send them to meet the King of Hell. This thought tortured them until they were about to go crazy. Therefore, when another Eighth Prince suddenly appeared among the people and insisted that he was not dead, it was as if they had caught a life-saving duckweed. Their hearts that were in a mess finally found a pillar of support and they could not wait to seek refuge with that faction.
And in the capital, on the side of the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng, there was the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming for military and the Fifth Prince Xuan Tianyan who had already returned to the court for civil matters. In addition to his old subordinates and the original loyal subjects of Emperor Tianwu, his faction could not be underestimated. But there was still a bit of a loss. The fake eighth prince had gathered a large number of troops among the commoners. In addition to this, there were also troops originally hidden in Da Shun's territory. In this gathering, there were actually over 100 thousand troops.
Of course, a mere one hundred thousand soldiers would not have any actual effect on Dashun. It was just that Dashun had always been unwilling to fight in its own territory, especially in the capital. In addition, with the successive battles these few years, Dashun took back Qian Zhou, took half of Gu Shu and now took all of Zong Sui. Countless soldiers and officials were sent to guard the borders and were transferred to participate in the setting up of defenses in the new country, resulting in a lack of military strength in the country. If they really fought in the vicinity of the capital, they would be at a disadvantage.
Xuan Tianfeng said to his Ninth Brother, "The Heavenly Lightning must not be used within our territory. Even if it's a firearm, try not to use it as much as possible to avoid accidentally injuring the people."
Xuan Tianming sighed and nodded. They couldn't hurt the civilians. These were the civilians of their own country! He knew that the Eighth Prince was a fake, but he couldn't prove it to the world. When Eighth Brother's face was skinned, he had already realized that Zong Sui's mask technique would be effective. However, he thought that since the Imperial Court had already announced the death of the Eighth Prince to the public, and he was too busy heading east to pay attention to this side.
However, he did not expect that person to take advantage of this loophole … …
In a deserted village between the capital and Xiao Zhou, this seemingly deserted place actually had people moving about at night. The civilians who saw it all said that the deserted village was haunted, so after a few times, no one dared to walk near that place.
However, where were the ghosts in this world? The person hiding in that deserted village was the person wearing the human skin mask of the Eighth Prince, Xuantian Mo — — The original Third Prince of Zong Sui, Li Guang.
At this moment, Li Guang was in the underground room in the deserted village, listening to his subordinates report the situation in Zong Sui. From Xuan Tianming leading the army to massacre the city, to Xuan Tianhua being killed in the explosion outside Tong City, all the way to the rebellion of the Chunyu family in Zong Sui's capital, Li Guang sighed repeatedly as he listened: "I said it long ago, how is Li Jian suited to be an Emperor? With that bit of knowledge, he still dares to go against Dashun? Does he think that he is impressive just because he has Duanmu Anguo? Hmph! Overestimating himself. Is Zong Sui gone? It doesn't matter, I did not even think of helping that Li Jian secure the throne. I want this Dashun, even if I have to use someone else's face to live my entire life, it does not matter. Even if it is not possible, I still want to stir up this bowl of water called Dashun, I cannot let Zong Sui be lost for nothing. And that Li Kun is the Li family's star of death! That old man wanted to leave the throne to him wholeheartedly, but what was the result? Hmph! All of you look down on me, you didn't expect it right? In the end, the one who can do the last bit for Zong Sui is still this son that you have always looked down on! "
Anger rose from his heart, showing on his face, causing that layer of human skin mask to distort. When his subordinates looked at him, they felt that this person was Zong Sui's Third Prince Li Guang one moment, then Dashun's Eighth Prince Xuantian Mo the next moment, his face was unpredictable, dark and clear, causing people to feel chills all over their bodies.
Recently, a huge matter also happened in the Right Prime Minister's manor, Fung Tianyu's maid ran in noisily, telling her with a joyful expression: "Young Miss, Young Miss, good news, that Mister Li proposed marriage to Master and Madam, saying that he wants to marry you."
"What?" Fung Tianyu stomped her feet, "What kind of good news is this? Is there something wrong with your brain, little girl? What is wrong with that Li Kun? Why does he want to propose marriage? Does he not know what kind of status he has? A person who does not even care about his own life and still dares to propose marriage, is he crazy? "
Fung Tianyu was so angry that she did not know what to do, walking around in circles in the house, causing that maid to feel dizzy. The maid was also helpless, "Young Miss! Why did he propose marriage, isn't it because of you! Say, of all the things you could do on New Year's Eve, you just had to drink with that Mister Li and even talk through the night. Even this servant feels that you are interested in him, let alone a man. "
"It can't be, right?" Fung Tianyu touched her forehead, "I just felt that during that period of time in the capital, there was no one in the manor who could talk to me, I caught him at the last moment! Why did he think so highly of himself? "
"But …" The maid scratched her head, she felt that her Young Miss treated that Mister Li very specially. Don't look at how she always bullied that person for doing things, but generally speaking, her Young Miss would not easily bully anyone. In other words, this Feng family's Young Miss belonged to the type that if I did not fancy you, I would not say a word to you at all. But that Mister Li had been in the manor for more than a year, almost two years, the interaction between Young Miss and him was quite a lot, bullying him until he was in a mess, but after that, she could not bear to and would always find some reason to give him some benefits. For example, that time when Mister Li cut his hand while chopping firewood, Young Miss actually stole Master's precious medicine for injuries and gave it to Mister Li. If she said that she was not interested in him, who would believe it?
But Fung Tianyu would not admit it even if she was beaten to death! She said, "That Li Kun is a broken person, I am the Young Miss of the Prime Minister's manor, I can marry anyone, why must I marry him? Right now, Dashun is the Prime Minister, Father's position is high! "
"Young Miss!" The maid sighed, "Do you know what are the two most famous difficulties in the capital now? That is you and Young Miss Ren from Pingnan General's Office. "
"What do you mean? Are you saying that we can't get married when we get old? " Fung Tianyu was so angry that she stomped her feet, "Even if I die of old age in the manor, I will never marry that Li Kun! He can't even protect himself, why would he marry me? "
"But Master seems to approve!" The maid said, "Madam also thinks that the two of you are suitable."
"How is it suitable? Is my Father muddle-headed? My God! If he is really muddle-headed, don't go to court anymore! It's not good to delay state affairs. " She put her hands on her waist and rushed into the courtyard, glaring in one direction and fiercely said, "That damned Li Kun, even if my Father and Mother agree, I will never agree!"
"Why? Young Miss, don't the two of you get along quite well? This Servant has never seen you hit it off so well with any Young Master. "
"Hitting it off is hitting it off, that and marrying him are two different things." Fung Tianyu pulled that maid over and said seriously, "Do you know where his home is? His home is in Zong Sui, it is very far, from his home to our capital, it takes a few months. Say, if your Young Miss marries to that kind of place, what will my Father and Mother do if they miss me? It is such a long journey, it would be difficult to even make a trip back. Even though Zong Sui is already Dashun's territory now, but I still feel uncomfortable about it. It is too far, it is really too far. "
"Uh … … Young Miss." The maid moved closer, "You don't want to marry because it is too far?"
Fung Tianyu was a little embarrassed, waving her hand, "Almost, more or less!"
"Then Young Miss, don't hesitate anymore, marry! Young Master Li said that he will not return to his hometown, he will stay in our Prime Minister's manor and be a son-in-law. "
"What?" Fung Tianyu did not understand, "Son-in-law?" Did water enter Li Kun's brain? Was it so easy to be a son-in-law? When a daughter-in-law married into the family, she still had to look at her mother-in-law's attitude every day, could it be that Li Kun wanted to look at her father's attitude every day? But thinking about it, it seemed that Li Kun had already looked at her father's attitude for two years, he … … he should have gotten used to it, right?
She had nothing to say, if she could really stay at home for the rest of her life, not needing to serve her mother-in-law and not needing to look at the attitude of her husband's family's seven aunts and eight aunts, this might not be a bad thing! Compared to a daughter who was married off, marrying in a son-in-law, this kind of life was what she really wanted to live, right? It was just that … … Fung Tianyu calmed down, even though being a son-in-law was good, but that Li Kun must not be another Bu Cong … …
Duanmu Anguo who was brought back from Zong Sui, was currently placed in Imperial Palace Yu's underground prison. Using Xuan Tianming's words, ever since this underground prison was set up, it had never been used, because usually, there were very few people who could anger him to the point that he had to bring people back and throw them into this underground prison to be tortured. Therefore, Duanmu Anguo could be considered to have cut the ribbon for the underground prison, wailing in pain in the underground prison all day, and it also became a unique scenery in Imperial Palace Yu.
How could it be said to be a scenery? Because Feng Yu Heng also turned Duanmu Anguo into a medicine man, just like how Qian Zhou tortured Feng Zhaolian back then, soaking him in a large water tank, filling it with a medicinal liquid that could make a person become neither male nor female. A person would not die, but could only live in endless pain, watching their own body change bit by bit, but there was no way to seek help.
With Feng Yu Heng's special care, Duanmu Anguo was much worse off than Feng Zhaolian back then. The tendons in his hands and legs were personally removed by Feng Yu Heng, and he was now a disabled person. Originally, she wanted to cut off his limbs and turn him into a human swine, but Feng Yu Heng felt that that would be too disgusting, so she did not do it. The medicinal liquid he was soaked in was transparent, of a higher grade than the one Feng Zhaolian used back then, and it was all made by Feng Yu Heng. The water tank he was soaked in was also made of glass, Duanmu Anguo had never seen this kind of material before, only feeling that everything that Feng Yu Heng did was so strange, including the frightening mirror that had always been placed in front of him.
The water tank was not big, his movements were limited, and it was very uncomfortable. Feng Yu Heng was afraid that he would not be able to observe the changes in his body in time, so she placed a full-length mirror in front of him that was as tall as a person. The mirror of the future clearly showed Duanmu Anguo's current situation, such that the old thief had screamed at the mirror countless times.
Finally, one day, Duanmu Anguo found that the male feature below his body had already shrunk to a small ball the size of a fingernail, his skin had also turned white, his beard had also fallen, even his screams had become sharp … …
