ZHAO JUREN'S LAST LOVE
CHAPTERS 111. Evil Rumors from the Palace

Zhao Juren asked suddenly, making the tavern owner keep his mouth shut, he knew it was inappropriate to talk about something like this in times of mourning.

"The king's brother is gone, he also has no son from the main empress. In the history of Niangxi must not be the throne passed from the son of a concubine because it will make misfortune for the country." The sentence was uttered by Changyi, suddenly his funny face turned serious.

"Who can replace him? Princess Nan Luoxia?" Zhao Juren asked with her mouth slightly agape. He only realized that what was left now was only Nan Chen's youngest brother, who was born from the previous Empress.

She suddenly shuddered at the weight of what the woman would bear if she led the country controlled by prime minister Yang Liujun, the evil prime minister.

"Never in the history of Niangxi has Nanxing been ruled by a woman." Changyi's voice interrupted.

Zhao Juren turned her face, slightly tilted her head, she had just heard the rule. In Yanzhi, all the king's children may be his successors, not least women or men who are important to fulfill the competence as throne holders, but in particular are the firstborn of the king and men. But if there is none, then a queen holds the reins of power.

In the history of Yanzhi once led the queen in the past, although not long because of the tradition of concubine offerings that are pro cons, it is impossible for the queen to marry many men, that's not at all unusual.

The queen only served for 8 years then was replaced by her 6-year-old son although the reins of government remained under the control of the queen.

But in Nanxing it may be different, the tradition is not to allow the throne to be led by women.

"Tahta Nanxing in a precarious situation, can be sure all the sons of the previous king from the concubine will petition for the right to lead. There will be a bigger storm than the war against Yanzhi. This country might be destroyed by a power struggle." Changyi continued speaking with a mouth filled with dumplings.

The owner of the tavern looked enthusiastic at Changyi's straightforward opinion.

"Sir, do you know the rumors that are circulating in the outskirts of Nanxing?" the owner of this tavern bowed slightly in whispers, his eyes looking over his surroundings even though he knew that there was no one else but them in this tavern but because their conversation was about the palace family, he still has to be careful.

"What's? what rumors?" Changyi looked up curiously while Zhao Juren acted as if she was not too interested when her ears stood up trying to record what she was about to hear.

"Lately the news spread that the Lord Prime Minister planned to seat prince Nan Yuhuai as a successor to the king but, according to the story of the palace, prince Nan Yuhuai was killed by his own uncle who was a healer teacher. Killing people with poison was definitely not a difficult thing for him. His uncle must be ambitious to take over the throne. The last time he came to visit her was his uncle."

"You mean, prince Nan Feng?" Changyi looked a huge glare, the dumplings in his mouth almost spewed out. His hands clenched as if he could not believe what he was hearing.

"Don't make things up, sir, watch your talk!" Hardik Changyi, he suddenly became serious.

"Why did you become so buying? Does your master know Prince Nan Feng?"Zhao Juren asked, her brows frowning at Changyi's unusual reaction.

"Ti.no.but.yes, I mean yes I was once brought by my father to his parish, although not met in person but I know the prince Nan Feng chose to live outside the palace, he said, since his older brother the previous king died, he led a padepokan which is also where the healers studied medicine. Prince Nan Feng has no ambition for power except his interest in health sciences." Changyi replied, trying to return to his usual attitude.

"But sir, think about it, why did he suddenly come home after a long stay outside the palace when he heard the king die at the stabbing of his own wife? Isn't that suspicious?" The shopkeeper whispered in a low voice, still curious about his own opinion.

"My husband!" His wife patted the husband on the back until in an instant his body became erect in surprise, he turned around and found his wife tracing her waist while glaring.

"Be careful when you speak, love your neck..." The wife's reprimand made the shopkeeper immediately hold her neck with a panicked look.

"Your wife is right, sir. Don't spread any untrue issues because maybe your head's at stake if Prince Nan Feng hears them." Changyi chuckled at the tavern owner's fear.

In contrast to Zhao Juren's reaction that looks to be stuck. His head was filled with many thoughts and all the anxiety was sticking out like a yellow grass growing into his mind.

"Xue Xue, are you in danger?" the question suddenly stomped his chest, making him no longer tasteful to spend noodles in his bowl.

"By the way, where are the two of you going?" Ask the owner to switch the conversation.

"We want to enter the king's city.my aunt misses me a lot..."Subject Changyi, his mouth did not stop tasting, the onion sauce was really delicious like it.

"Because you two should spend the night here soon, there might be snowfall. The weather has been erratic lately." bargained the shop's lemilik while moving some empty bowls from Changyi's front.

"It seemed like a good idea, I was also so full. It feels like the best place after this is to languish in the contest, sleep through the night." Greet Changyi with a radiant face while turning to the unmoved Zhao Juren.

"No, Changyi. We can't spend the night. We should meet Xue Xue soon." Zhao Juren said, his right hand reached into the pouch behind his belt and put some silver tails on the table.

"Is this enough for our afternoon meal?" The question broke the silence.

"Of course, sir, this is more than enough." The owner of the store replied dumbly, it feels like this guest has just bribed some of his noodle chopsticks and now he decided to leave in a little hurry.

"But..." Changyi scowled in protest, but he knew it was useless to argue over the man who was now his friend.

"You can stay if you don't want to come." Zhao Juren firmly moved, after nodding her head at the tavern owner was a sign of goodbye.

"Wait a minute!" Changyi shouted in restraint, then swiftly picked up the handkerchief from behind his waist and wrapped the remaining dumplings that were still half a plate.

"To be on the road." Changyi. Zhao Juren simply shook her head looking at Changyi's childish behavior.

"Where are we going now?" Changyi half ran after Zhao Juren's steps, he said he would try to find a horse from an acquaintance, they would circle the northern part of the forest, and it was opposite to the direction towards the king's city.

"We're going to the angel's palace. Before morning we should arrive at the lake of five colors." Zhao Juren replied.

"Crazy! Master Lian Ju wants to take me to kill myself???" Chirping Changyi, the palace is not a careless place, a thousand women guard it, who would dare to go there?
