Chapter 706: Commitment
The whispering sound, quickly swept away by the wind, dissipated into the cold air, as if it had never existed, and no one could hear it.
The moment the curtain fell, what disappeared from his sight was a figure in a dark armor hugging her and walking away.
It turned out that Xiao Shaotang had been outside all along......
So, in fact, he can hear everything?
Xiao Shaoyun sat up, and finally felt that the place in his heart was completely empty.
She is really still her, and when she falls in love with someone, she is extremely honest and defenseless.
It's just that the one he loves is no longer him.
So, how did she know that after Xiao Shaotang knew all this, he would not let her down in this life like him?
When it was close to dawn, Bai Chenghuan fell asleep on Xiao Shaotang's shoulder.
Xiao Shaotang carefully put her on the bed and covered her, then sighed and sat on the side and stared at her for a long time.
She asked him if there was anything he wanted to ask.
But what does he have to ask?
No matter what happened in the past, in his heart, she will always be the girl with a cold face, but smart and kind when he first met Yuzhou.
Whatever had happened in the past, what could change everything he had?
"Huanhuan, if you have never been hurt by this world, I hope you will always be innocent, but you have been stabbed by ruthless fate, I just want to protect you for the rest of your life peace and joy. β
He knelt beside her, his eyes closed for a moment, and when he opened them again, he was calm.
"His Royal Highness, Xu Shizi asks to see. β
Sixi's voice sounded low outside the curtain, Xiao Shaotang stood up, rearranged the armor on his body, picked up the knife beside him and walked out.
Xu Chenglin was waiting for him in another tent, and when he saw him walk in, his eyes were on him and he looked at him for a long time, and then he spoke casually:
"I've got the edict of the Zen throne, that person, what are you going to do......?
Xu Chenglin made a clean gesture, decisive and ruthless.
Xiao Shaotang shook his head:
"Keep it, just kill it like this, don't say anything in vain, it's too cheap for him. β
After speaking, he praised:
"I only now understand how you got to a foothold in the southeast so quickly, and you are indeed a qualified soldier. β
Xu Chenglin smiled noncommittally and said:
"Aren't you? Since you have become an enemy, if you don't want him to die, you will die, and you know this truth. It's rare that you can hold back the anger in your heart and spare that person's life, it seems...... You're really a good guy to be an emperor. β
"No, I don't have such a broad mind, but I'm afraid that Cheng Huan will know that I killed that person, and I can't bear it, and I can't bear to touch her. Actually, you know, I can't wait to have him torn to pieces!"
Xiao Shaotang finally couldn't help but grit his teeth a little.
Xu Chenglin was really surprised:
"So you know it all......"
Shocked in his heart, Xu Chenglin quickly stood up and sincerely bowed to Xiao Shaotang:
"In the past, I really despised you a little, but today I know that I should admire you, and thank you for being able to endure this breath and not mess up the overall situation!"
After all, the Qin army has been stationed outside the capital for a long time, in order to be justified and righteous.
If Xiao Shaotang couldn't help but be angry in his heart at this time and took the emperor's life, then the patience of these days would become meaningless, and he would even have a bad reputation for going back on his word.
At this point, in order to get a proper name, it is not enough to have a Zen edict, but also to hold a Zen ceremony, and all civil and military officials must participate.
If Xiao Shaoyun died, the common people would naturally be able to hide it, but those courtiers and officials would definitely not be able to hide it.
Since it is to make a play that is justified, it is natural to do it as good as possible.
Xiao Shaotang reluctantly spit out a sullen breath in his chest:
"I only hate such a person, and let him live!"
"It's okay, for a person like him, to let him live, to see you and Cheng Huan and Hemei, a hundred years of good together, is enough to make him a thousand times more painful than death!"
Xu Chenglin comforted Xiao Shaotang from the bottom of his heart, and was silently relieved in his heart.
It's also a shame that Cheng Huan is such a straightforward temperament, and he is not afraid that Xiao Shaotang will know-
But it's okay, it's already come to this point, if it is still covered up, it will inevitably plant a mustard seed in Xiao Shaotang's heart.
Now that we are so frank and honest, in the long run, it will avoid future troubles, and it is a good thing for husband and wife to be of the same heart from now on.
Otherwise, the queen's journey will be difficult, and when Cheng Huan sits on the throne of the queen in the future, it is inevitable that she will not be attacked and slandered.
Seeing that Xiao Shaotang's face softened a little, Xu Chenglin talked about another matter.
"Although the Zen position is nine out of ten, Zhang Junguang is still stationed on the side of Yanling with more than 20,000 people, with Zhang Junguang's temperament, without the emperor's handwritten order, I am afraid that he will not compromise easily. β
Zhang Junguang is also highly respected in the army, and he especially abides by the belief of loyalty to the monarch, if he can't be completely obedient, then the emperor will live for a day, and this will be a day of trouble.
"Didn't the emperor agree to write a handbook?"
Xiao Shaotang couldn't figure it out:
"What else does he have to struggle with by this time?"
Xu Chenglin let out a long sigh:
"He didn't agree, but instead of dying, he brought it up again and wanted to see you. β
Xiao Shaotang was almost laughed at angrily:
"Do you want to see me? Do you still treat me and Cheng Huan as his subordinates who came and went as soon as he summoned them in the past, and were summoned by him in turn?"
Xu Chenglin didn't know what to say.
But he thinks that when he meets, it's probably nothing, who else can the current emperor deter?
"It's just a meeting, and you go and see him and see what else he has to say. β
He persuaded.
Xiao Shaotang understood what Xu Chenglin meant, was silent for a moment, and then agreed.
"I'd like to see what he has to tell me!"
Having said that, Xiao Shaotang did not go to see the emperor immediately.
"Let him wait, I'll go back and get some sleep before I see him." β
Almost all night long, everyone was already very tired, and Xu Chenglin nodded in agreement.
After so many days of chaos, it's time to take a good rest.
Xiao Shaotang returned to the tent, and Bai Chenghuan was still asleep.
This time, she slept peacefully, without nightmares or struggles, and her face looked just as delicate when she fell asleep, her brows had been scattered, and she was calm and calm.
Only her hands were still on her lower abdomen, as if she was protecting her child in a dream.
Xiao Shaotang took off the hard armor outside, then gently took her hand away, lay down beside her, and covered his hand.
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. β
When I woke up from a dream, the sky was already bright, and the wind and snow outside had already stopped.
There was the slight sound of a charcoal fire burning in his ears, and the woman who had not been able to sleep for so many days was still sleeping soundly in his arms.
The ruddy face showed that the vitality in her body had gradually recovered, so that he suddenly felt infinite comfort in his heart.
Gently imprint a kiss on her side face before he got up.
Outside, the three joys and four joys are already waiting.
"Xu Shizi hasn't gotten up yet, does His Royal Highness want to wait?"
"No need, I'll go myself. β
Xiao Shaotang knew that Sanxi and Sixi were thinking that Xu Chenglin could better know the emperor's intentions on the side, but Xiao Shaotang felt that he didn't need to.
If he didn't even have the ability to face the emperor alone, why should he take his place?
During the long night, the emperor only closed his eyes slightly.
Seeing Cheng Huan's side, it seemed that all his things had been done, but he could no longer sleep without any worries.
Perhaps in this world, there will never be peace for him again.
So he waited wholeheartedly for Xiao Shaotang to come to see him, and kept thinking about what to do and how to say it in order to maintain his last dignity as an emperor.
But when Xiao Shaotang walked in in a military uniform, the fierce and murderous aura that came to his face made all his preparations fall short, leaving only unspeakable consternation-
In fact, all along, his memory of the prince of Qin is still stuck in the young man who can only smile with him and has an invincible thick face.
But the person who came in front of him, where was the shadow of that young man?
He has a slender figure and neat dress, and the unique handsomeness of the Xiao family is shown on him, which is completely another tough appearance.
"Minister Xiao Shaotang, see the emperor. β
To his surprise, Xiao Shaotang took the lead in saluting him and bowed his head.
Such a move, which was completely inconsistent with Xiao Shaotang's momentum, made the emperor feel deep ridicule and malice.
"Why do you have to pretend like this, even though you are already going to replace me? Do you still want to deceive me like you did before? Unfortunately, I won't be fooled by you!"
Xiao Shaoyun tried his best to contain his resentment, and couldn't help but sneer.
Xiao Shaotang didn't seem to hear it, and replied lightly:
"As long as the emperor does not have a Zen throne for a day, he will be the king for a day, and the ministers will still abide by the duty that should be abided by. β
Xiao Shaoyun finally couldn't help it, and threw all the things he could catch at Xiao Shaotang, and his angry roar brought a wheez:
"Duty?!Do you father and son still know what duty?, this is a big joke!"
"You wolf ambitions, rebel ministers and thieves, you dare to say your duty!"
Xiao Shaotang took a step back without panic at all, and said coldly:
"How our father and son got to this point, the emperor must know it, and I don't want to argue with the emperor. Or do you want the emperor to make it clear, what else do you want?"
In order to prevent Xiao Shaoyun from committing suicide, he didn't even put cups, plates and bowls in his tent, and what he threw over in anger was just some soft pillows and clothes, which fell to the ground in a mess.
lined with Xiao Shaotang's cold look, Xiao Shaoyun looked even more embarrassed.
Xiao Shaoyun didn't speak with red eyes, only stared at Xiao Shaotang viciously, hating to eat him.
But Xiao Shaoyun knew in his heart that at this point, no matter how much he hated it, he was powerless to return to the sky.
The two confronted each other silently for a while, and Xiao Shaotang didn't have the extra patience to spend with him after all.
Cheng Huan didn't know if he woke up or if he had eaten properly, he really didn't want to waste time here.
"If the emperor hasn't thought of the conditions, the minister will retire first. β
Xiao Shaotang prepared to leave.
Xiao Shaoyun suppressed all the hatred in his heart and said his request:
"I want you to come today because I want you to make a promise. β
Siu Siu Tong is not surprised:
"Do you want me to promise to keep your life and keep you prosperous for the rest of your life?"
Life and death should be the most worrying thing for the abdicated emperor, right?
Xiao Shaoyun categorically vetoed:
"How can this be considered a promiseβthis is what you should have given me!"
"I want you to promise, in this life and this life, you must not let Bai Chenghuan down! You have to swear that the position of queen belongs to her alone, and in the future, your successor must also be born by her!"
Xiao Shaotang Huo Ran raised his head and stared at the emperor, from shock, to anger, before he seemed to understand the emperor's intentions:
"Why are you? Why are you asking me like this! What Cheng Huan is like has nothing to do with you!"
"You are already in the past, and you are still delusional about interfering in Cheng Huan's future, Xiao Shaoyun, are you really impatient?!"
"Why, you don't dare to promise, do you?"
Xiao Shaoyun sneered:
"You don't dare to promise to be devoted to her at all, are you? Are you afraid that you won't be able to resist the temptation of the beauty in the future, or do you have no intention of treating her well for the rest of your life?!"
"Hehe, Cheng Huan probably doesn't know, except for me in this world, no one dares to promise her a couple for the rest of her life!"
Xiao Shaotang suddenly felt ridiculous:
"Are you asking for this for her own good, or do you want to separate me from her?"
Xiao Shaoyun's eyes were ethereal:
"I'm naturally doing it for her good...... She's a silly girl, and I'm afraid she'll have a lot of affection for you, and you'll end up with someone as selfish as me......"
"That's really kind to you!"
Xiao Shaotang couldn't bear to pull out the knife on his waist and slashed at Xiao Shaoyun's head!
Xiao Shaoyun smiled with relief, closed his eyes without dodging or dodging, and greeted the fatal knife that was enough to split him in half!
Kill me, kill me, Cheng Huan will always remember it in his heart - if sooner or later it is a death, this is also a good ending.
The blade, which shone with a cold light, stopped an inch away from him.
couldn't wait for a knife to the head, Xiao Shaoyun opened his eyes with some regret.
But he could no longer see a trace of anger in the eyes of the person in front of him, and in Xiao Shaotang's eyes, there was only cold contempt left.
"Your calculation is good, as long as I kill you, all your sins can be redeemed in her heart-"
"But Xiao Shaoyun, you don't know how well I know her, so how can I let you succeed?"
He neatly withdrew the knife in his hand and sheathed it with as precision as he had slashed it.
"If you want to calculate the last bit of mercy she has for you, go dream!"
"Xiao Shaoyun, not everyone is a scumbag like you. In my life, she must be the only queen and a woman. But my promise is only for her, what are you?!"
His patience finally ran out, and he made the final finish with a bang:
"You can do whatever you want, don't think about threatening me! Zhang Junguang is only 20,000 horses, do you think I will be afraid?"
"The Qin army has come all the way, and he has seen a lot of blood, which is not bad!
