The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 829: constant trouble
Chapter 829: Troubles
Seeing the heavy cavalry enter the imperial city first, the nobles of Wei were whispering.
Until the chariot carrying the Emperor of Yan came with golden light, they stopped talking, straightened their clothes and prepared to negotiate terms with the Emperor of Yan. The old aristocratic families of Wei would not accept the new policies of Yan.
The Yan Emperor’s chariot stopped under a high platform made of white jade. Feng Yao hurriedly stepped forward, opened the door, took Murong Yu’s hand from Xiao Rongyan, and helped Murong Yu get off the chariot.
Murong Yu breathed rapidly as he stood at the foot of the high steps, looking at the majestic hall and the countless stairs above the high steps. His vision began to blur again.
He is the Emperor of Yan and represents the State of Yan. If he cannot climb this ladder, these surrendered ministers will inevitably doubt whether the State of Yan can really rule the State of Wei.
Murong Yu’s back was already soaked with sweat. If he hadn’t been wearing heavy clothes today, others would have noticed how miserable he looked.
He let go of Feng Yao’s hand…
“master!”
“Father!”
Feng Yao and Murong Ping were very worried.
Murong Yu looked up at the hall and squinted his eyes, holding the sword at his waist with one hand, holding his breath, and walked towards the higher steps.
Xiao Rongyan followed behind Murong Yu, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. He stood behind his brother, knowing how difficult each step was for his brother.
The bright sun made him dizzy. Murong Yu’s eyes went dark and his steps paused for a moment…
Xiao Rongyan immediately stepped forward, supported Murong Yu from behind, and seemed to calmly step over two steps before holding Murong Yu’s arm, trying his best to support Murong Yu.
Even though he was dizzy and it seemed as if the world was spinning, Murong Yu knew that he could not stop to rest.
Once he stops, he won’t be able to move anymore!
He raised his trembling legs and stepped on the jade steps in vain, but he had no strength to go up. It was Xiao Rongyan who gritted his teeth and helped him up.
The weight of Murong Yu’s entire body was on Xiao Rongyan. He only had enough strength to lift his legs. Without Xiao Rongyan’s help, he would not be able to climb even one step.
Feng Yao and Murong Ping followed Xiao Rongyan quickly. Although he knew that Murong Yu could no longer hold on, he did not dare to support Murong Yu with Murong Yan, so as to avoid being discovered by the Wei people who had just surrendered.
“Help His Majesty directly into the main hall. Once His Majesty enters the hall, close the door immediately! Send someone to call the imperial physician to enter the hall through the side door!” Xiao Rongyan ordered in a deep voice.
“Yes!” Feng Yao answered, suppressing his heartache.
“Send a large number of troops to surround the homes of these old aristocratic families. Anyone who tries to force their way in or out will be killed without mercy. Not even a bird can be let out!” Xiao Rongyan instructed Murong Ping again.
“Yes, sir!” Murong Ping responded.
Feng Yao, the personal eunuch of Emperor Yan, stepped forward first and shouted, “Kneel!”
Emperor Yan climbed the last high step, and Xiao Rongyan was already sweating profusely…
“Long live His Majesty! Long live the Kingdom of Yan!”
The soldiers shouted.
The old aristocrats looked around, not knowing whether they should join in the shouting.
While the old nobles were not noticing, Murong Ping supported Murong Yu’s left side, and together with Xiao Rongyan, they supported Emperor Murong Yu of Yan and walked quickly towards the main hall.
As soon as Emperor Yan entered the palace, the doors of the palace closed one after another. Murong Yu finally couldn’t hold on any longer and spit out a mouthful of blood. He fell forward, and Xiao Rongyan, who was holding Murong Yu, fell to the ground with him.
“father……”
Murong Ping knelt on the ground in fear. Before he could even scream, Xiao Rongyan pushed him away: “Shut up! Where’s the imperial physician?!”
Murong Ping knew what the Ninth Uncle meant. He gritted his teeth and knelt to the side of Emperor Yan. He held back his tears, suppressed his voice, and called out in a choked voice, “Father!”
Two imperial doctors carrying medicine boxes came hurriedly and knelt beside Murong Yu. One took Murong Yu’s pulse and the other gave him acupuncture.
“How is it?” Murong Ping asked the imperial physician who was taking Murong Yu’s pulse with red eyes.
Under Xiao Rongyan’s sharp gaze, the imperial physician kowtowed and cried softly, “Your Highness, the Second Prince… His Majesty, has… run out of energy!”
Xiao Rongyan tightened his grip on Murong Yu’s hand, and a cold and murderous aura suddenly emanated from him.
After the acupuncture, Murong Yu woke up. He raised his hand and held Xiao Rongyan’s wrist: “Ayan… Brother is going to break his promise. I can’t propose marriage for you!”
Xiao Rongyan gritted his teeth and said nothing. His eye sockets were swollen and painful, and it felt like a strong wind in his heart was shattering all his internal organs.
“Aping…” Murong Yu looked at his second son.
“Father!” Murong Ping knelt forward and held Murong Yu’s trembling hand. He was at a loss as to what to do and just kept calling Murong Yu, “Father! Father!”
“Your eldest brother is mediocre, and you are brave and invincible, but you are not talented in governing the country! Your third brother is more talented in poetry and books, and A Li is precocious, but he is too young! Your ninth uncle is determined to unify the country, and his vision, pattern, mental strategy are far superior to yours. The State of Yan can only be handed over to your ninth uncle… Only then can your father feel at ease! No matter whether it is your eldest brother, you, your third brother or A Li… you must assist your ninth uncle wholeheartedly! Help our Great Yan… to unify the world!” Murong Yu’s vision had completely darkened, but he still tried his best to hold his son’s hand tightly.
Murong Ping glanced at Murong Yan, who was wearing a silver mask and pursed his thin lips. He choked up and nodded, “Son knows! Son… will definitely assist Uncle Nine!”
“Uncle Feng!”
“I’m here! I’m here! Master…I’m here!” Feng Yao knelt beside Murong Yu and responded with tears in his eyes.
“Take the pen and ink to summon the emperor. The throne… will be passed to the Ninth Prince Murong Yan!” Murong Yu swallowed the blood with difficulty. His voice was very weak, and the sound of blood stuck in his throat was all over his voice. “After I leave, keep my death a secret. Wait… until Wei is destroyed and the overall situation is stable, then announce it to the world.”
Xiao Rongyan felt cold all over, and he knew…his brother’s time was up.
Feng Yao drafted the edict himself and took out the Yan Kingdom’s jade seal to stamp it. Murong Yu asked Murong Ping to take out his private seal from his blood-soaked arms and stamp it next to the jade seal.
“Ayan… Brother is going to see mother.” Murong Yu’s eyes were already dim. He tightly grasped his brother’s arm, and the corners of his lips slightly raised as if relieved, “The unification of Yan State… is counting on you…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Yu finally closed his eyes slowly, and the hand that was holding Xiao Rongyan’s arm also slipped away.
Inside the hall, everyone was suppressing their cries, and no one dared to cry out loud.
The Emperor of Yan died just after entering the capital of Wei. This gave those people in Wei who were already unwilling to accept the fate and intended to rebel against Yan an excuse… They could claim it was God’s will, or that they wanted to follow God’s will and rebel against Yan. By then, Yan would be in real trouble.
Feng Yao cried so hard that his back trembled but he dared not utter a word. He just held up the imperial edict and the imperial seal and kowtowed respectfully in the direction of Murong Yan: “Young Master…”
Murong Ping took a long breath and looked at Xiao Rongyan, who was wearing a silver mask and hiding all his emotions, with a pained look in his heart.
Third update, Emperor Yan is gone…
