Empress Han said this almost hoarsely.

Sure enough, she came for Xuan'er, and she seemed to have no scruples and wanted to rob Xuan'er. Ji Xiaotang hugged Xuan'er tighter, and looked at Queen Han.

In addition to the two little palace maids who served closely, Queen Han also brought four thick~ strong grandmothers, and she knew by looking at her appearance that she should not be good at stubble. Queen Han is here prepared.

Ji Xiaotang looked at his side, there were only two people, Mama Cheng and the nurse, and they had to protect Xuan'er from being robbed and injured.

However, Ji Xiaotang was not overly nervous.

She has confidence in herself, and this is in the Qianqing Palace, as well as Emperor Longqing and Emperor Longqing's subordinates.

Ji Xiaotang believes that Emperor Longqing will not let Empress Han do anything wrong. Although Queen Han is always hysterical, she has never been lethal.

And the fact is just as Ji Xiaotang expected, the four old ladies were about to listen to Queen Han and came forward to snatch Xuan'er, and Emperor Longqing was already angry.

"Who dares to be presumptuous in front of me, don't you want your life, and don't want your family's life?" Emperor Longqing should have been extremely angry, and when he shouted these two words, he coughed violently. "Whoever dares to move will be dragged down and cut down immediately!"

Even in the midst of the cough, this last sentence was a little weak, but it was not less powerful.

Empress Han just hastily gathered these few people, and as soon as Emperor Longqing became angry, they were all scared and stood there hesitating.

"Come on, take them all down for me." Emperor Longqing commanded again.

Outside, guards came in and took some of the old ladies down.

Although Emperor Longqing is a puppet. But in front of Queen Han, she still has the majesty of an emperor. Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Han dominates the government. and has been in charge of the harem for so many years, but Queen Han, as her niece, has never been persuaded to do so.

They are aunts and nephews of in-laws, but their temperaments are very different.

Emperor Longqing is now decisive in killing, but in a moment's time, the matter will be dealt with. Seeing that the people brought by the guards were dragged away, Queen Han was at a loss at first. Then we wept.

When Empress Han cried like this, it seemed to extinguish most of Emperor Longqing's anger.

Emperor Longqing didn't speak again for a while, but Empress Han seemed to be full of grievances. Crying and shouting to Emperor Longqing: "Why are you allowed to see Xuan'er, you are not allowed to be close to Xuan'er." What are you afraid of, afraid that I will hurt Xuan'er? Don't you know, my heart! ”

Emperor Longqing's eyebrows were full of pain and impatience.

"What are you doing here? You don't look in the mirror either. What have you become now? Where is there still a little bit of the queen's dignity, the mother of the world, is that you? ”

"Am I willing to make trouble? Am I willing to be like this? Your Majesty, tell me how I became what I am today! ”

Emperor Longqing and Empress Han are going to quarrel like this.

It is extremely embarrassing to watch a couple quarrel on the spot, but when one of the couple is the emperor and the other is the queen, it is not only embarrassing.

Xuan'er's eyes were already round, and the little guy was a little frightened by Queen Han at first. After all, he had never seen such a hysterical woman, and then to the present. He became less frightened, but more curious.

Xuan'er hadn't seen anyone quarrel.

Not to mention that the people who serve him will not quarrel in front of him, even Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang are also very attentive, and besides, their husband and wife almost never blush, where will Xuan'er be given a chance to see the quarrel.

Ji Xiaotang is very uncomfortable, Emperor Longqing and Empress Han quarreled, it seems that they have to go over old accounts, she and Xuan'er really shouldn't stay here anymore.

"Xiaotang," Emperor Longqing was more able to control his emotions, put down Empress Han for the time being, turned his head and said to Ji Xiaotang gently, "You take Xuan'er and go first." ”

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang couldn't wait for this, hurriedly answered yes, and then saluted Emperor Longqing, and walked outside the hall with Xuan'er in his arms.

Walking out of the main hall, her ears still echoed and heard the last words of Queen Han.

"Your Majesty, do you hate me so much because I failed to give you an heir? Your Majesty, others don't know, you yourself know, do you blame me?! ”

Ji Xiaotang didn't look back at Queen Han, but she could feel that Queen Han's words contained ~ blood and tears.

Ji Xiaotang came out of the Qianqing Palace, and did not go to Cining Palace, so he went straight out of the Forbidden Palace.

When he arrived outside the Forbidden Palace, he saw Qin Zhen hurrying on a horse.

It turned out that Qin Zhen was sent by Empress Dowager Han to run an errand, although Ji Xiaotang assured her that she was fine, he also knew in his heart that today, whether it was Xuan'er or Ji Xiaotang, they were very safe.

But he still couldn't rest assured, and hurried to get the errand done, so he hurried over to pick up Ji Xiaotang.

When the husband and wife saw each other, they didn't say anything, exchanged glances with each other, and decided to go back to King An's Mansion immediately.

Qin Zhen took Xuan'er over and hugged her.

No matter what happened, or nothing happened, Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er's mother and son were safe, this is the most important thing.

Back at Anwang's Mansion, the two of them went to the upper room of Xuchun Hall to sit, Ji Xiaotang took off his coat and changed into a comfortable loose robe at home under the service of Mama Cheng and others, and took off his head and face according to the makeup, only pulled his hair loosely at the back of his head, inserted a step swayed with beads and emeralds, and sat on the kang.

Qin Zhen was sitting on the kang, playing with Xuan'er, while still asking Xuan'er about entering the palace.

Xuan'er was telling Qin Zhen that she had met Uncle Ayou in the palace.

Qin Zhen raised his head and looked at Ji Xiaotang and smiled.

“…… I came out of the Empress Dowager's palace to Qianqing Palace, and the Empress Dowager arranged for Pian Pian to show me the way, and I saw Ayou in the imperial garden. Ji Xiaotang told Qin Zhen about seeing Qi Younian.

Xuan'er also followed beside her and said, "Uncle Ayou." ”

Qin Zhen lowered his head and looked at his son with a smile.

"Xuan'er likes Uncle Ayou very much."

"yes, I like it." Xuan'er held her two little feet and nodded with a smile.

"Who arranged it?" Qin Zhen raised his head and asked Ji Xiaotang.

"Do you need to ask?" Ji Xiaotang lightly.

Qin Zhen nodded.

"You should make a fuss. Today at His Majesty's place, Xuan'er is afraid that she will be frightened. Ji Xiaotang said.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhen was a little nervous, although Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er didn't look like they were hurt or frightened.

Ji Xiaotang said that Queen Han suddenly went to Qianqing Palace. deliberately brought someone to rob Xuan'er.

"I was stopped by His Majesty, but her appearance is very scary."

Qin Zhen hurriedly took Xuan'er into his arms, carefully looked his son up and down, and rubbed the top of his son's hair.

“…… Scary! Xuan'er nodded her little head, her face was very serious, and she was learning from Ji Xiaotang's appearance.

"Was Xuan'er scared?" Qin Zhen hurriedly asked.

Xuan'er nodded first. Then he shook his head.

"Scared,...... Not afraid ......"

"Is this first scared, and then not scared?" Qin Zhen tried to decipher the meaning of his son's words.

"Hmm." Xuan'er snorted milkily. "She's scary, she's not fierce. There is an uncle and a mother~pro. ”

Qin Zhen didn't understand Xuan'er's meaning this time, so he raised his eyes and asked Ji Xiaotang for help.

Xuan'er didn't say. The queen looks scary though. In fact, she is not a vicious person, not a bad person? Ji Xiaotang lowered his head and asked Xuan'er.

"Uh-huh."

"And there is also Uncle Huang and I, who will protect Xuan'er, right?"

"yes, yes." Xuan'er nodded at the little head melon and smiled.

"Your Majesty has said a lot to me today......" Ji Xiaotang paused when he said this. Looking down at Xuan'er, "Xuan'er is not tired." Do you want to go to sleep? ”

"Don't be tired, play with daddy and mother~." Xuan'er said loudly with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang was a little speechless, Xuan'er's spirit was really good today, she went to the palace, and until now, she didn't look sleepy at all.

But what she was going to say to Qin Zhen next was very important, and she didn't want the ignorant Xuan'er to hear it.

"Daddy and mother~ have something to do, is it okay to let the nurse and grandma accompany Xuan'er?" Ji Xiaotang discussed with Xuan'er.

Xuan'er was a child who knew how to negotiate very well, and he sat there thinking about it and nodded.

"Okay, Daddy...... Mother~dear, I want to take Xuan'er back. ”

"Of course, we are also willing to accompany Xuan'er." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, and called the nurse and Mama Cheng to come forward, and asked a few more words before the two of them hugged Xuan'er.

"Xiaotang, what did Your Majesty tell you?" Qin Zhen saw that Xuan'er was taken away, so he asked Ji Xiaotang about it.

Ji Xiaotang repeated what Emperor Longqing told her to Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen's face gradually became solemn.

Of course, he understood the meaning of Emperor Longqing's words.

Emperor Longqing knew that he would not live long, and he had long been thinking about the issue of heirs. Unlike Empress Dowager Han, he did not want to choose one between Yu'er and Xuan'er as the crown prince and inherit the throne.

In that way, he can have a successor, and the Empress Dowager Han can continue to control the government, but it may not be a good thing for Daqin's Jiangshan Sheji.

Emperor Longqing hoped to choose one of his two brothers to inherit the throne.

Both Qin Lin and Qin Zhen are both talented and strategic, and they are in the prime of life, and they also have a lot of roots in the court. Great Qin's Jiangshan Sheji needs such a powerful ruler at this moment, instead of pushing a child to sit on the throne and continue to be at the mercy of Empress Dowager Han.

And between Qin Lin and Qin Zhen, Emperor Longqing chose Qin Zhen.

Emperor Longqing was telling Ji Xiaotang about this today, and also explained to her the reason for this choice. His choice was not because he was close to Qin Zhen or estranged from Qin Lin, but he sincerely thought that Qin Zhen was more suitable for that position, and Qin Zhen sat in that position, which was the best for the country of Great Qin and the people of the world.

Of course, Emperor Longqing also said that the reason why he chose Qin Zhen was because of Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er. He did make this choice after careful consideration.

"Your Majesty is an understanding person, and ......" Don't look at Emperor Longqing for so many years, but he has put his heart into this major matter.

Listening to Ji Xiaotang finish speaking, Qin Zhen was speechless for a long time, and seemed to be very shocked.

"Lord Wang......" Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen carefully and called softly.

Only then did Qin Zhen come back to his senses.

"Brother Huang, he was not what he is now when he was young...... Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang with some emotion that Emperor Longqing at that time was also talented and high-spirited.

When did Emperor Longqing begin to decadent?

Even after the imperial concubine died, Emperor Longqing did not decadent to this extent. If you want to say that it is completely decadent, it should be after he ascended the throne as emperor?

"My body was fine, and I didn't have any symptoms." Qin Zhen carefully recalled that Emperor Longqing's health had deteriorated, and it was after the imperial concubine died.

After that, Emperor Longqing fell ill after a rain. Although Emperor Longqing was cured after the timely conditioning of the imperial doctor, it seems that the root of the disease has been left since then.

After the first emperor's great trip, Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, and his illness has not stopped, and his health has become worse and worse.

"The Queen Mother didn't want His Majesty's health to be worse, but she probably didn't expect that His Majesty's health would slowly deteriorate to this extent."

This involves the struggle for power between mother and son.

"The Queen Mother controls the government, and Her Majesty has always let it go, and has never fought for power with the Queen Mother."

While Qin Zhen recalled, when he talked about what Emperor Longqing looked like before, Ji Xiaotang heard some eyebrows.

“…… Your Majesty is soft-hearted and soft-tempered, but it will never be as weak and decadent as it is now, and it was only after His Majesty ascended the throne that he became like this......"

So, what made Emperor Longqing change so drastically.

"Before and after Your Majesty's accession to the throne, something terrible must have happened to make Your Majesty like this." Ji Xiaotang's conclusion became clearer and clearer, and she talked to Qin Zhen about the quarrel between Emperor Longqing and Empress Han, "The queen seems to mean that she has no heirs, and she can't blame her, she has to blame Emperor Longqing......"

But there is a little princess in the palace, and Emperor Longqing should be able to let a woman give birth to an heir.

"Lord Wang, is it really ......" Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen nodded heavily.

"Your Majesty, I should have known it a long time ago!"

"Then I'll understand."

This matter was too heavy, and both husband and wife were speechless for a while. In the end, it was Ji Xiaotang who broke the silence first.

"The past has passed, my lord, although Your Majesty has thought it carefully and only let me bring Xuan'er into the palace, it may not be that there will be no leaks, and it is ......"

Emperor Longqing has not lived long, and the days of Emperor Longqing's great trip are the beginning of the bloody storm in the capital.

They need to be very prepared to deal with it very early.

Qin Zhen naturally understood, and immediately went to the study with Ji Xiaotang and summoned all his henchmen.

When the lamp was in hand, Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang were still in the study discussing things with the henchmen of the palace.

But news came from the palace.

The queen is gone.

Queen Han is sick and fragmented, if it weren't for the support of good doctors and medicines in the palace, I am afraid that she would have passed down long ago, and people accepted her death quickly.

Ji Xiaotang was slightly stunned. She had only met Empress Han today.

Emperor Longqing and Empress Han are a young husband and wife, Empress Han is two years older than Emperor Longqing, and now Empress Han is ahead of Emperor Longqing. (To be continued.) )
