Beixuan Xiongxin, who was a little excited, rushed to the gate of the palace and saw the slender figure, which was his sister who had always loved him since he was a child, and the person who was most worthy of her trust in the world.

It was like finding a guiding light in the dark, Beixuan Xiongxin rushed over, wanting to give this sister who brought hope in a desperate situation a hug, but unfortunately, Xue Xi leaned forward, knelt on half a knee, and did not give him a chance to hug, so he bowed respectfully and shouted: "Xue Xi has seen the king, and the king is safe." ”

Beixuan Xiongxin stretched out his hand with some embarrassment, helped Xue Xi up, his eyes suddenly fell on the baby Xue Xi was holding in his arms, his face changed slightly, and asked, "Sister Wang, is this your child?" ”

Xuexi nodded, picked up the baby, and said softly: "Hurry up, this is uncle, when you grow up, you must remember your uncle's good." ”

Beixuan Xiong's heart was a little anxious, because at this time, he was worried and in no mood to experience the so-called family affection, but the old man Xiao who was standing behind him had a slight change in his face, looking at Xue Xi, and then at the child in Xue Xi's arms, a ray of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had suddenly figured out something.

"Sister Wang, the empire has fallen into such a miserable situation, everyone who can leave is gone, only you, remember my younger brother, Sister Wang, you came back this time, but you have already thought of a way to help me, three years, I only need three years to restore the majesty of the empire, and when the time comes, Beixuanxiong will rise, and there is no need to be afraid of any opponent."

Yes, in three years, Bei Xuan's ambition has enough confidence, if it is a war between the two countries, it will be postponed for three years, and it is not known who will win and who will lose at that time, but unfortunately, the Shenlong Emperor did not give him such a chance.

Xue Xi gently patted the child's package, sighed helplessly, and said, "Xiong Xin, this time my sister came back, there is only one purpose, which is to persuade you to surrender to the Shenlong Empire." ”

Bei Xuanxiong's heart and body were shocked, and he didn't seem to understand, so he looked straight at Xue Xi and asked, "Sister Wang, what did you say?" ”

"Sister came back this time, it is to persuade you to surrender to the Divine Dragon Emperor, Xiong Xin, this is already the only way out for the Beixuan Empire, with the current situation, the Beixuan Empire has absolutely no possibility of flipping, in order to reduce bloodshed and sacrifice and preserve the bloodline of the Beixuan Empire, my sister also begs you, give up!"

Beixuan Xiong Xin seemed to be a little stunned, and kept muttering: "Surrender, Sister Wang, you want this king to surrender, this king is a member of the Xiong royal family, a king of infinite glory, and he actually wants this king to bow his head to people, Sister Wang, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible, this king would rather die than give in." ”

Looking at Beixuan Xiongxin's heart like this, Xue Xi was also very heartbroken, this must be her younger brother, who grew up together since childhood, endured considerable suffering, and finally regained the throne and royal power, but faced the torment of the collapse of the empire, or his fate was doomed to be bumpy, and he would not be happy in this life.

Stretching out a hand and gently stroking it on the head of Beixuan Xiong Xin, Xue Xi said: "Xiong Xin, the Beixuan Empire has been defeated, no matter how ambitious you are, if you fail, you must admit it, surrender is already a good ending, the Shenlong Emperor promised me, as long as you surrender, he will retain the bloodline of the Neng clan, so that we will not be extinct." ”

"Sister Wang, you are also a member of the royal family, how can you watch the empire collapse, as long as there is a slight opportunity, you should fight for me, you are not the favorite concubine of the Dragon Emperor, I am willing to sacrifice the land in exchange for three years of peace, otherwise I will fight to the last soldier, even if it is death, I want the Shenlong Empire to pay enough price, the Xiong family did not surrender and fear death, this king will not be, this is my attitude, Sister Wang, please take care of yourself!"

Beixuan Xiong's heart has been completely disappointed, as the king of the Beixuan Empire, he actually wants to surrender, how can the high royal power be humiliated because of him, even if it is death, he will not do it, otherwise how can he be worthy of the ancestors of the Xiong clan, he is disappointed because his sister, who should have given him the greatest hope, brought him despair.

But he's not going to give up, absolutely not.

Because of Beixuan Xiongxin's refusal, Xuexi did not live in the palace, but returned to her former princess's mansion, where everything is still the same, it can be seen that Beixuan's ambition is ordered to be carefully taken care of, representing the deepest feelings between sisters and brothers, but now, everything no longer exists.

Xue Xi couldn't bear it, but she had to do it, so she could only say sorry to her brother in her heart.

Although she is a princess of the Beixuan Empire, she is already married to a woman, and she can only follow her husband's orders and seek a future for her children.

The survival of the Beixuan Empire has nothing to do with her, the princess, and even less with her own son, because her son is the bloodline of the Shenlong Emperor, and his future only belongs to the Shenlong Empire.

So to seek benefits for the Shenlong Empire, but also for the benefit of her own son, between her younger brother and her son, there is no doubt that she chose her own son.

At this moment, the return of Princess Xuexi has alarmed a large number of family members who are hiding their figures, these people have long known the end of the Beixuan Empire, and are also seeking a way to survive, the return of Princess Xuexi has made these people see hope and opportunity, Princess Xuexi is not only a princess, but also has another identity, that is, the Emperor Xuefei.

More importantly, the Emperor Xue Concubine gave birth to a prince for the Emperor, which is very important and very important.

So Princess Xuexi settled, and the peaceful bear city was already in a hurry, and those families who had been silent for months were like spring had arrived and woken up from hibernation, and they came to visit the princess's mansion one after another, and these people had only one purpose, to find a chance to survive.

The fall of the Beixuan Empire is imminent, and as a family, of course they will not be buried together, but if they want to survive, they need to pay a considerable price.

Xuexi, as a princess, paid a lot for the empire, and even the king obeyed her, and her appearance brought hope to these people who fell into despair.

All day, the exhausted Xue Xi still met with these people who could be named one by one, although he didn't give any promises, but Xue Xi still promised, would ask about the punishment of Bear City, and then find them a way to live.

It was late, tired and snowy, but she didn't sleep, the child was taken away, the empty antechamber, a few candles, she sat there alone, she was waiting, waiting for someone, waiting for someone worthy of her to see.

"Someone, stop." Giselle, at the door, drank sharply.

"Old man Xiao Changhe, I want to see Concubine Xue."

Before Giselle's words were spoken, Xuexi was in good spirits and had already spoken: "Giselle, please invite Prime Minister Xiao Cheng in!" ”

Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is the person who the princess of Xue Xi is waiting for, the old man Xiao has watched her and her younger brother grow up since she was a child, it can be said that she has paid everything for the empire, Xue Xi appeared at the gate of the palace today, the implied meaning, she believes that this old man will be able to understand.

Dressed in a black robe, he covered his head to his toes.

Walked slowly into the hall, raised his hands, and took off the hood, it was the thin and pale face of Old Man Xiao.

There is nothing peculiar about the old man, but he is a pivotal person in this empire, and Xuexi needs the help of this man to return to Bear City like this, not only for himself, but also to reduce the damage of Bear City.

"Xiao Mou visited Concubine Xue, Niangniang Wan'an."

"Xiao Lao doesn't need to be polite, just call me Xuexi, from childhood to adulthood, you have called me like this, after leaving for two years, I still miss the old days very much, but it's a pity, the past can't be traced, and I can't go back."

"Why chase the past, Princess Xuexi has become the princess of the Dragon Emperor, famous all over the world, there is no need to look back at the past downfall, the future will be more hopeful."

Xue Xi looked at Old Man Xiao and asked, "Is Old Xiao blaming Xue Xi?" ”

"Shouldn't it be, the king's trust in you is a hundredfold, and he can't help but be overjoyed when he hears that you are back, but you have brought him despair."

Xue Xi said: "If Xiao Lao really thinks so, then I'm afraid we won't be able to talk about it today, Xiao Lao, do you know, I am waiting for you here, just to know that you can see through the situation and choose the most beneficial path for the Northern Xuan Empire." ”

Old Xiao, your tone became heavy, and he asked in a deep voice, "What if the old man doesn't come tonight?" ”

Xue Xi said: "If you don't come tonight, there will be tomorrow night, Xue Xi will wait for Xiao Lao here for three days, and after three days, if Xiao Lao has been in the future, then Xue Xi will return to Dragon City and never ask about the Beixuan Empire again." ”

Old Man Xiao sighed lightly and asked, "Does the princess really want to do this?" ”

Xue Xi didn't answer, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Xiao Lao has any other way, Xiong Xin is my younger brother, I can't bear it, but I have to do it, if I really use Xiong Xin's temperament to fight to the death with the Shenlong Empire, and never die, then the ending is not what we want to see, and now, the Beixuan Empire has no chance, so Xue Xi also begged Xiao Lao to give my child a chance." ”

Smart people just don't need to be too clear when they speak, in fact, when Xiao Lao saw Xue Xi coming back with the child, he already knew what she was thinking, a woman, for her own children, will become very ruthless, even in the face of her own brother, she will be ruthless.

An old man like Old Man Xiao has experienced many twists and turns, and he can see through it at a glance.

But he also had to admit that compared to the current situation, Xue Xi's approach is also the best, because Xue Xi's kid has the blood of the Shenlong Emperor and the royal blood of the Beixuan Empire, the two veins are integrated, he can inherit everything from the two empires, yes, he has such power.

If Xiong Xin is gone, this child will succeed to the throne, and there will definitely be no objections.

At that time, the Beixuan Empire and the Shenlong Empire will truly become a family.

Therefore, even if it is the nominal king, as long as he has this name, all the heritage of the Beixuan Empire will become a boost for this child's future growth, this point, Old Man Xiao has already thought of it, and he has to admire Princess Xuexi, this woman thinks very far-reachingly.

Or there are some changes in the future, but as soon as the child is born, I think of decades later, and it is really difficult for her.

"I'll give you the answer in three days." Old Man Xiao put up his head and left quietly, looking calm, but only he knew that his heart was not calm.

His relationship with Beixuan Xiongxin has long surpassed that of kings and courtiers, but the general dependence of father and son.

But now, for the sake of the empire, he must bury the family affection that has been integrated into the blood for the past twenty years.
