Chapter 362 Everyone has their own thoughts
The fifth prince didn't even dare to blink. How could a whistle produce such a loud sound?
When he took a closer look, he found that the material of the whistle was also very strange, and the color was very close to that of the steel ball.
"Miss Xia, is this whistle also made of steel?"
"You're so clever! This is a stainless steel whistle, very rare."
"As rare as a steel slingshot?"
"About the same. Mine is more powerful. It can even summon a giant eagle."
As soon as he finished speaking, crisp whistles sounded continuously and rhythmically.
A few moments later, from the other side of the sky, a high-pitched and penetrating scream pierced through the clouds and made a grand appearance.
Xia Liang didn't dare stretch out his arms to make it stand, but simply waved and called out to it, "Iron-Blooded Eagle King, quickly perform a show for His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. He will reward you with a few pounds of fresh meat later."
After circling in the air for a while, the Iron-Blooded Eagle King suddenly spread his wings and glided towards His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince at an extremely fast speed.
Eunuch Li was so frightened that he quickly opened his arms to protect them, just like a hen protecting her chicks.
Xia Liang laughed so hard that he giggled. The game of Eagle Catches Chicken was really interesting.
It is said that Yan Xuan, who was patrolling at the Noon Gate, heard the cry of an eagle and looked up. It must be Xia Liang who came out. Wasn't she in the emperor's bedroom treating the emperor today?
He hadn't seen Xia Liang for several days since the day he summoned the dragon. He had been in a daze these days, like a walking corpse.
He was worried about Xia Liang, and suddenly realized that Xia Liang and Miss Luo Yu would be in a very dangerous position in the future. He was afraid that he would be powerless to do anything for her.
No matter which side they choose to stand on, they should not get involved in this mess.
The Yan family army naturally stood on the side of the emperor, but a foreign woman got the emperor's tiger talisman and used it to hijack the army. Yan Xuan's elder brother Yan Li was very disdainful of it.
After hearing his mother Lin talk about the marriage between Yan Xuan and Miss Xia Liang, Yan Li was the first to oppose it. Xia Liang truly controlled the life and death of the emperor. The more this happened, the greater the harm she would bring in the future.
No one in the court or the country dares to truly stand on the side of the terminally ill emperor. Everyone is ready to make a move behind the scenes. If they make a wrong bet, they will be ruined!
It is ridiculous that this country girl actually wants to control the government and the country with her special abilities.
The Governor of the Imperial Guards Feng Zhiyan and General Yan Fengluan had been comrades-in-arms for several years, but now they had some differences in their stance.
If Murong's army had not suddenly appeared, Yan Li couldn't believe that this round of team formation would lead to any further complications?
No matter how Yan Xuan tried to clear the names of Xia Liang and Miss Luo Yu, Yan Li simply didn't believe that anyone would think from the perspective of the common people. In this government and the country, who isn't in danger? Who isn't trying to find a way out for themselves and their families?
Even if they killed the enemy on the border, it was for military achievements, glory, and promotion. There were people who only cared about the country and the people, but what was their final fate?
There is no sympathy or suffering on the battlefield, and there can be no weaklings. Only the winner is the king.
Yan Xuan is still young. He doesn’t understand the cruelty of living on the edge of a knife, nor does he understand the meaning of life.
Yan Li came back this time and took over his father's authority, allowing Yan Xuan to leave the Imperial City Bureau.
So even if Yan Xuan wanted to enter the palace, he had to get Yan Li's permission. He knew that he would no longer be able to see Xia Liang whenever he wanted.
Unexpectedly, a big eagle flew out of the palace with something in its claws. When it saw Yan Xuan, it threw the package at him.
When Yan Li ordered his men to raise their bows and arrows to shoot the eagle, they were blocked by the bows and arrows of the Imperial City Bureau.
Yan Xuan was terrified: "Brother, please don't shoot the eagle. It has a spirit."
"Just an eagle, you can see it everywhere on the grassland."
"It's not an ordinary eagle..."
Yan Xuan wanted to make a few more excuses for the Iron-Blooded Eagle King, but Yan Li saw what he was holding and asked, "What is this?"
"Yes, Miss Xia Cao gave it to me."
"Haven't I said enough? You can't get too close to that country girl."
"Mother didn't stop me, so why would my brother stand in the way of Miss Xia Cao and me?"
"If you decide to get too close to her, if something happens in the future, it will definitely implicate our Yan family."
"Miss Xia and the others are brave and resourceful, and they dare to take responsibility for their actions. If something really happens, she won't think of implicating any of us."
"Humph, that's just a woman's opinion."
Yan Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to his old-fashioned brother. He opened the package and was dazzled by what he saw. It turned out to be a particularly exquisite dagger with a note on it: "My dear Yan Xuan, this dagger can be preserved for a thousand years. It represents my thoughts about you, which will never change."
Yan Xuan looked left and right at the dagger in his hand. It didn't look like anything from the palace. It was even more exquisite than any dagger he had ever seen. It felt so sharp that it could cut iron like mud. He gently touched a key on the handle, and the dagger actually made a sound like a child.
"Master, your body temperature is 36.2 degrees, which is normal. The surrounding temperature is 35 degrees, which is a bit hot."
Yan Xuan was secretly shocked. He shouldn't let his brother hear it.
Yan Li frowned slightly: "What's that sound?"
Yan Xuan tried his best to play dumb and said, "This was invented by Miss Luo Yu and the others' master. It's just for fun, but it's not very useful."
The dagger's switch was still on, and it still made a sound: "I am a dragon's possession, not some useless thing."
Yan Xuan: You are so rebellious, you dare to argue with others.
He immediately pressed the button on the handle and turned it off.
Yan Li's frown deepened. A dagger, and they said it belonged to the Dragon God? Did the Dragon God send it to deliver a message?
Although it is weird, if even a dragon can appear, what does this weirdness matter?
After discussing the current situation with Luo Yu and Qin Bingrui, Master Murong asked Luo Yu, "What are your plans?"
Luo Yu did not hide anything and told Murong the truth: "The probability of the emperor fully recovering is extremely low. We can only guarantee that he has signs of life, but how long he can survive is still unclear."
Murong understood her thoughts. If several parties fought against each other, there would inevitably be chaos inside and outside the court.
"So, Master Murong, I know that your Murong family and the Zhu family may have an irreconcilable feud, but I still hope that you can temporarily help me and stand on the emperor's side."
"My lady, your guess is correct. I led my troops into the capital for my own selfish reasons, but I understand your good intentions. The Emperor won't live long anyway, so I'm willing to lend you a hand. However, I'll have to give up the throne sooner or later."
Qin Bingrui laughed wickedly.
"Do you want to take back the throne?"
Murong's heart tightened. He had never thought about these things before. In the past, he only wanted revenge and made the descendants of the Zhu family pay for their blood debt with blood. Now, he was suddenly confused.
"I have no objection to whoever becomes the emperor now, but I hope it will be someone who is capable of doing the job."
Qin Bingrui savored the dessert brought by the little palace maid. The snacks in the palace tasted really good.
"I think Mr. Murong is quite suitable."
After saying that, he looked at Luo Yu and said, "Sister, what do you think?"
