Chapter 820: Competing, Unreconciled
The excellent Tiancang Pavilion was knocked out and wants to cut off his tail and life, Xiao Tianyao will naturally fulfill them. After all, he doesn"t have the energy now, nor does he have the strength to destroy Tiancang Pavilion in one fell swoop.
Of course, even if he could wipe out Tiancang Pavilion"s influence in the east in one fell swoop, he would not do so.
The Empress and Ci Entang behind her were still in the east. If he destroys the Tiancang Pavilion, leaving the Ci Entang alone in power. It won"t be a good thing for him.
"Let the people from Tiancang Pavilion leave." Xiao Tianyao made a decision without thinking too much, and his subordinates were also used to obeying orders, even if they have their own opinions, they will not speak them out.
Xiao Tianyao spoke, and the people from Tianzang Pavilion left smoothly. Although the Special Envoy was aggrieved, he still asked someone to send a word to Xiao Tianyao before leaving: Tiancang Pavilion owes Xiao w.a.n.gye a favor. Tiancang Pavilion will not s.h.i.+rk if it can help.
He has to say that the Special Envoy was a smart person. He can bend and stretch. He hated Xiao Tianyao so much in his heart, but when the situation was not good for him, he was able to lower his head and pretend that the previous unhappiness never happened.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Xiao Tianyao and took himself too seriously. Although Xiao Tianyao was not a villain who loves to hold grudges, he was not a magnanimous person either. The existence of Tiancang Pavilion was a thorn in his throat. He has no chance now. Once he has the chance, he will never stop because Tiancang Pavilion bows his head.
The news of Tianzang Pavilion"s evacuation from the east can be hidden from others, but not from the few in the palace.
The Empress got the news immediately: "Xiao w.a.n.gye"s move is really beautiful. Whether Tiancang Pavilion can come back in the future, will depend on Xiao w.a.n.gye"s face."
"Your Majesty, do we have to stop?" The Old Mama"s face next to the Empress was wrinkled, and her cloudy eyes were full of worry.
"Stop it? Why do we stop it? If you stop it, can Xiao w.a.n.gye let us go? To cooperate with Xiao w.a.n.gye is to conspire with the tiger. We have already offended Tiancang Pavilion, so how can we stop?" The Empress smiled reservedly and n.o.bel. As if she didn"t take the upcoming matter to heart.
"If we take the initiative to stop, Tiancang Pavilion will always remember our favor. In the future, it will be better if the well water does not violate the river water." According to the information about Tiancang Pavilion, it was impossible not to know that the forces behind the Ci Entang taking action against Tiancang Pavilion were related to Prince Xiao.
The Empress shook her head: "Mama, you underestimate Xiao Tianyao, and you also overestimate Tiancang Pavilion. Tiancang Pavilion will bow its head to Xiao w.a.n.gye for peace, but it doesn"t mean that he will let go of those who bow their heads for peace."
"Xiao w.a.n.gye is tying us to his boat, and we can"t get off." The Old Mama"s face was ugly, her eyes were slightly protruding, and she looked very scary.
"If you agree to cooperate with him, you are on the same s.h.i.+p, but it doesn"t matter. As long as he can avenge me, my mother, and my brother. No need to mention boarding the same s.h.i.+p, I can even go to the eighteenth floor of h.e.l.l without a blink." The Empress gently moved her wrist. Her long nails were in front of her enchanting eyes.
Imperial Concubine Zhou received the news half an hour later than the Empress. Unlike the Empress"s calm atmosphere, after receiving the news, Imperial Concubine Zhou almost fell to the floor.
"The Tiancang Pavilion suddenly evacuated, does it mean that they are afraid of Xiao w.a.n.gye? Could it be that the Emperor is about to lose?" Imperial Concubine Zhou firmly grabbed the hand of the palace maid beside her. Her nails were embedded in the palace maid"s flesh, but she still didn"t know.
Different from the Empress, her honor and disgrace were all tied to the Emperor. If the Emperor falls, she will be finished too.
"His Majesty won"t. The Emperor has millions of troops, and the Emperor is orthodox. Xiao w.a.n.gye did something against the law, and the laws of heaven cannot tolerate it." The palace maid continued to comfort Imperial Concubine Zhou.
But even if this was the case, it can"t relieve Imperial Concubine Zhou"s tension and anxiety: "Quick, hurry up and announce my sister-in-law to enter the palace, I want to see her." She wanted the Zhou Family to rea.s.sure her, otherwise, she couldn"t feel at ease.
At this time, the palace was full of turmoil. Imperial Concubine Zhou"s sister-in-law couldn"t come in at all. Imperial Concubine Zhou couldn"t get the approval letter for a long time, and her emotions were on the verge of collapse. Xiao Zian rushed over to comfort Imperial Concubine Zhou after receiving the news.
The third prince was very aware of the recent movements of the Zhou Family and Imperial Concubine Zhou. He also knows what their plans are. He tried to dissuade them, but it was useless. In the end, he could only ignore them and let the Zhou Family make trouble, but he didn"t cooperate or destroy them.
The arrival of the third prince made Imperial Concubine Zhou calm down, but as time pa.s.sed, the Jinwuwei Army slowly gathered outside the city gate, but there was no news of reinforcements, which made Imperial Concubine Zhou fall into restlessness.
She had a hunch that their Zhou Family must have been in vain this time.
"An"er, I can"t accept it. Your Imperial mother can"t accept it." When Imperial Concubine Zhou heard Prince Xiao"s words that, if the Emperor didn"t hand over the few people he mentioned before dawn, he would attack the city. Imperial Concubine Zhou finally couldn"t help but cry and fall to the floor.
Her life was full of glory. She was the daughter of a rich family and has been treated like a precious treasure at home. She was the emperor"s favorite concubine in the palace, but her son was sick and weak from birth and had no chance of sitting on the throne.
She was originally determined to fight for the throne when her son stood up, and her son was the Emperor"s favorite prince.
She decided to fight. To increase their bargaining chip, she counted many people, but what happened?
She just started fighting, but the outcome was set!
"An"er, An"er, Imperial Mother can"t accept it!" Imperial Concubine Zhou fainted from crying, Xiao Zian hugged Imperial Concubine Zhou and sighed softly.
Sitting in a wheelchair for many years, he could see very clearly that their father was a ruthless person. His father favored him because his legs were disabled, and he had no chance of taking the throne.
For so many years, he watched the eldest prince and the crown prince fight for life and death, but the emperor just let them play in balance from time to time. He knew that their father had never thought about pa.s.sing the throne to his son, nor had he thought about cultivating an heir.
Their Imperial father had too much desire for power, and whoever dared to take the lead would become like the crown prince and will be deposed.
But the Zhou Family and his Imperial Mother didn"t listen to what he said, and they wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the seizure of the throne.
Now it was alright, Prince Xiao came out. The throne was destined to be with Prince Xiao. No matter how much they fight, it was useless to win.
Time pa.s.sed by every minute and every second, the people in the palace felt like years had pa.s.sed. The people outside the palace were also in panic all day long. The strength of the troops on the city wall multiplied several times in just half a day, and all the soldiers and horses in the city were immediately transferred to the city gate. Large weapons such as trebuchets and siege crossbows were carried to the city gate by the imperial army. They all aimed at the Jinwuwei Army, waiting for them to make a move before launching the attack.
At ordinary times, when the two armies clashed, Prince Xiao will seize the opportunity. He wouldn"t let the emperor have time to transfer weapons to the front line, but Prince Xiao did the opposite. He didn"t attack, but give them enough time to prepare… …
