Chapter 67: The Prophecy of the National Teacher
Yu Chimu sat on the chair next to Chi Xiaoman, with only a coffee table in the middle, and Xiaoman's palm slapped on the sour branch wood coffee table, which really frightened him, and the words that he wanted to open his mouth to ridicule Xuanyuan Yu swallowed back into his stomach.
And Xuanyuan Yu was also frightened, except for when he made his father angry a few hours later, his father reprimanded him, and no one dared to slap the table in front of him and speak.
Chi Xiaoman actually didn't expect that she would be so excited, if their quarrel was none of her business, then she would definitely just smile and watch a good show on the sidelines, and maybe she would be a cheerleader to cheer for the two of them, to see who won the fight in the end.
But not now, the object of their quarrel is her, and it is for the identity of this celestial star that she hates.
Tianji Xing has changed the prince's brother who originally treated her very well and thought about her......
She stared at Xuanyuan Yu with a cold face, but said with great sadness in her heart: "Brother Prince, I hope you can respect my decision. ”
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yu had already guessed that her decision was not what he hoped for, and asked lightly, "How did you plan it?"
"I want to marry King Huai'an in Yasukuni, this is my decision!" She knew very well that she could not persuade Wei Chimu to marry her back to the Shengxing Dynasty, if she did so, it would be tantamount to forcing him to betray his country......
"Liuxia, do you know what you're talking about?" Xuanyuan Yu said a little eagerly: "Are you disobeying the emperor's order, do you know? Although you are a celestial star, you are also the princess of Liuxia of the Shengxing Dynasty and the daughter of your father, you seem to have forgotten your original identity." ”
"Why is the prince brother in such a hurry. I just said that I wanted to marry King Huai'an in Yasukuni, and I didn't say that I wouldn't go back to the Shengxing Dynasty with you. Chi Xiaoman smiled slightly. But I was sad in my heart.
The prince's brother has really changed, and he didn't know that she was a celestial star before. was willing to help her escape from the palace, and now that she knew that she was a celestial star, he asked her to remember her identity as the princess of the Shengxing Dynasty, Xuanyuan Liuxia. It's ridiculous!
Xuanyuan Yu frowned, "You mean to return to China with me after getting married?" He glanced at Wei Chi Mu, and said, "Even if the King of Huai'an is unwilling to go to the Shengxing Dynasty with you?"
"Of course. Chi Xiaoman said categorically.
"Xiao Man......" Wei Chimu called out in disbelief.
Chi Xiaoman raised his hand to stop Yu Chimu from speaking, and then said, "Brother Prince, so you can agree to let me and King Huai'an marry in Yasukuni?"
She didn't want to give Xuanyuan Yu too much time to think, because Xuanyuan Yu was not stupid, and she would soon find out that there was a paradox in her words. She only said that she would go back to the Shengxing Dynasty. did not say that he would stay in the Shengxing Dynasty forever.
agreed to go back, but she wanted her father to understand that she would not do anything to help Yasukuni deal with the Shengxing Dynasty just because she married Wei Chimu, and the Shengxing Dynasty will always be her motherland. But in the same way, she will not help the Shengxing Dynasty deal with Yasukuni, because she does not want the man she loves to be heartbroken.
If she could, she hoped that she would have the ability to convince her father and Emperor Jinglie that during her lifetime, Shengxing and Jingguo would not invade each other. They are friends with each other, and this is the purpose of her agreement to return to China.
"This ...... If I agree, it will be a rebellion. Liuxia, please forgive me for not being able to agree with your decision. ”
It was indeed Emperor Xuanyuan's will not to let Liuxia marry Wei Chimu in Yasukuni. Because once she marries the prince of Yasukuni, she will be a Yasukuni person, and the so-called marrying a chicken follows the chicken. Marry a dog with a dog, once a woman marries. It is to take the husband as the sky, and it is bound to take the husband's family as the priority. In this way, if Yasukuni wants to invade the Shengxing Dynasty, it is conceivable which side Liuxia will help, so Emperor Xuanyuan has to guard against it, and Xuanyuan Yu does not want this kind of thing to happen, after all, this is related to his ideals and ambitions, the hegemony of unifying the three kingdoms!
Therefore, in fact, Emperor Xuanyuan did not agree to the marriage of Liuxia and King Huai'an at all, Xuanyuan Yu said before, his father agreed to Liuxia and Wei Chimu to complete the marriage in the Shengxing Dynasty, but it was just a ploy to deceive Chi Xiaoman to return to China.
"Prince Xuanyuan, are you planning to forcibly take Xiao Man away?" Yu Chi Mu took a leisurely sip of tea and said with a slight raised eyebrow.
"If Liuxia insists on marrying the prince in Yasukuni, then I have no choice but to take her away. ”
"Are you sure you can take her away?" Wei Chi smiled, and that smile was a little evil and made people shudder.
"You can try. Xuanyuan Yu looked at him and said coldly.
Chi Xiaoman stroked her forehead, when she was dead? If you want to take it away, take it away? This is really an era when there is no personal freedom.
"Brother Prince, my decision remains the same, if you are ruthless, you can kill me on the charge of disobeying the order, I will not blame you. After speaking, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "You two quarrel slowly, I'll go back to the room first, I've been on the road for a few days, I'm tired to death!"
Watching Chi Xiaoman swagger and walk out of Qiufeng Courtyard ignoring them, the two men were a little dumbfounded.
Wei Chi Mu glanced at Xuanyuan Yu coldly, dropped a word of farewell, and chased after Chi Xiaoman.

Inside the Yasukuni Imperial Palace.
Chi Xin, the fifth prince, stood on top of a tower that was five stories tall and the tallest building in the palace.
At the top of the tower is an armillary sphere, a model of a sphere made of fine copper, which is used to observe astronomical stars.
On the left side of the armillary sphere, there stood a man, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with long black hair scattered behind him, and his skin was quite white, but there was a little transparency in the whiteness, giving people a very illusory feeling.
He stood there with his eyes closed.
"Why did the fifth prince come to me?" The man's eyes were still closed, but he turned to face Yu Chi Xin, who had just ascended the tower and stood staring at the armillary sphere.
"National teacher, the marriage of Chi Xiaoman and King Huai'an will affect the ...... of the palace" Wei Chixin did not say it explicitly, but he believed that just by talking about this, the national teacher Zichen would also understand what he wanted to ask.
Zichen opened his eyes, and a pair of red pupils lined his fair complexion, making him look quite bewitching.
He did not answer immediately, but looked up at the sky before he slowly spoke: "Yasukuni will experience a chaos. ”
Wei Chixin was a little puzzled, and asked, "Could it be that the Shengxing Dynasty is coming to snatch the Heavenly Machine Star?" He knew that Ning Guo had gone through the previous battle, and it was impossible for him to come to seize the Heavenly Machine Star again.
"Not bad. However, the only thing that can stop the chaos in Yasukuni is the Tianji Star. Zichen said lightly.
"But what does this have to do with the status of this palace?" he just wanted to know if he could get the throne.
"For the time being, unite Tianji Star and King Huai'an, and get rid of the crown prince. My teacher will tell you how to do it. Zichen didn't have any expression on his face, but the drooping eyes betrayed his mind a little.
He...... Hate the life now. even hated his master.
"This palace understands, thank you to the national teacher. Yu Chixin left excitedly.
Zichen listened to his steps downstairs and closed his eyes again.

After leaving the stargazing tower, Yu Chixin went straight to Concubine Xiao's Chunjia Palace.
Although Concubine Xiao was in charge of the affairs of the harem on behalf of the late queen, there were only a few palace maids and eunuchs in the Chunjia Palace, only a dozen in total, which was no different from the number of other concubines in the palace of Emperor Jinglie. And the decoration in the hall is not luxurious, but elegant and fresh.
Over the years, although the emperor has rewarded a lot of things, it seems that Concubine Xiao has collected them. In short, in the pure hall of pure Jia, everyone forgot to reach, except for the simplest basic furnishings, there are no other too valuable items on display.
Obviously, when Emperor Jinglie handed over the power of managing the harem to her, she asked for a promotion, even if the position of queen was not available, at least she could be promoted to a concubine. But she did not ask for it. The change of throne once competed with other concubines for favor with Emperor Jinglie.
Maybe that's how it made Emperor Jinglie trust her quite much, and for so many years, Emperor Jinglie has not canonized the empress again. He also did not give the responsibility of managing the harem to others.
But Concubine Xiao is so disdainful of fame and profit, not because she was born with a tranquil temperament, not because she really doesn't seek fame and fortune. But the desire in her heart is more and greater than what the emperor can give her! Because Emperor Jinglie only has the late queen in his heart. This is a fact that she saw clearly a year after entering the palace, since the later Emperor Jinglie will not give it, and the position of the crown prince has already been occupied by the queen's only son, Yu Chi Hao. It is better to take another way to achieve your goals.
It turned out that her idea was not wrong, and for more than 20 years, the crown prince's position has never wavered, although the prince's appearance has been very mediocre, and he still sits firmly on the throne of the prince.
"Mother, mother!"
"Fifth Highness, wait, Niangniang has already rested!"
Yu Chixin shouted all the way when he stepped into the Chunjia Palace, ignoring the calls of the palace maids behind him, and was about to enter Concubine Xiao's bedroom.
"Xin'er, it's so late, what's so tight?" Concubine Xiao was wearing a crescent-colored undershirt with a big hood on her head. In the autumn, although the day was still a little hot, but the night was as cool as water, she gathered her big chuckle, looked at her son who came in a hurry and asked.
"Mother, when will Mr. Fang come to the palace again?" asked Yu Chixin anxiously.
Concubine Xiao asked with a strange face, "What are you looking for Mr. Fang?" She had wanted Fang Qi to teach his son martial arts before, but Wei Chixin didn't know why, Fang Qi always had some inexplicable hostility, none of the martial arts and medical skills he taught he was willing to learn, and this was the first time he took the initiative to meet Fang Qi.
The national teacher said...... Thinking that this matter was not suitable for people to hear, he quickly changed his words and said: "Mother, can you enter and discuss in detail?"
"Okay. Concubine Xiao turned around and stepped into the dormitory, Yu Chixin followed, and after entering, Concubine Xiao waved away the palace maids who wanted to enter and wait.
After Yu Chixin and Concubine Xiao sat down at the table outside the dormitory, Yu Chixin immediately spoke: "Mother, the national teacher asked the child to find Mr. Fang, saying that he can find a way to let the child unite with King Huai'an and Tianji Xing, and get rid of the prince first. ”
"Oh, the national teacher actually thinks that the crown prince should be removed first?" Concubine Xiao was obviously a little surprised, she thought that the biggest threat to her Xin'er should be the king of Huai'an, and the prince could wait for the king of Huai'an to be removed, and then find a way to remove the crown prince.
"Well, the child thinks that the meaning of the national teacher should mean that if we get rid of the king of Huai'an first, Tianji Xing will definitely be our enemy, which will be very detrimental to our future actions, so we should first unite the main enemy and remove the secondary enemy, so that the king of Huai'an and Tianji Xing will lose their vigilance against us, and it should be much easier to deal with the king of Huai'an at that time. Yu Chixin said confidently.
"Makes sense. Concubine Xiao hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Xin'er, let me ask you, do you feel sad and sad in your heart if you let you deal with your brother?" (to be continued......)
