Before Emperor Ming's illness, Chrysostom said that he wanted to pass on the words of Zhou Xianrui.

Although everyone in the hall was quite shocked, after thinking about it, they also felt that it was a reasonable thing.

After all, the crown prince is dead, and Emperor Ming is also approaching.

It can be said that the country cannot be without a king for a day, so it is inevitable that a new successor to the throne will be selected from among the princes.

Don't look at Emperor Ming, this will be extremely weak, but his mind is still very clear.

Among the many princes, they are benevolent and modest, and the most suitable to inherit the throne is the crown prince who dies.

Even if Emperor Ming didn't like the eldest son born to the late queen very much, he never moved the idea of abolishing this prince and appointing another prince as the prince.

In addition to the crown prince, in Emperor Ming's heart, there are only three of his outstanding princes.

Zhou Xiantai, the second prince who killed decisively, Zhou Xianrui, the fifth prince who was virtuous and upright, and Zhou Xianyu, the seventh prince who was able to fight well, had died in battle in the heart of Emperor Ming.

In addition to these three people, Emperor Ming didn't think that the other sons could take care of the Great Zhou.

In fact, Emperor Ming always knew that his second son, Zhou Xiantai, was indeed capable and worthy of the burden of the monarch.

But the other party has a more capable and extremely enthusiastic queen Xue.

Emperor Ming knew that if Zhou Xiantai succeeded to the throne, then the surname of Zhou would probably exist in name only, and he would be completely controlled by the Xue family.

And now that the news of Zhou Xianyu's death has come, the only choice left for Emperor Ming is to pass the throne to Zhou Xianrui.

And Zhou Xianrui, who said this, because he never thought that the crown prince would die, and he would one day become the heir to the throne.

Therefore, he has always been steady, and he will inevitably be stunned for a long time.

Zhou Xianrui's character is not a pretentious person, so when he came back to his senses, he didn't say anything, he couldn't take on this heavy responsibility, and he hoped that his father would choose someone else, this kind of high-sounding hypocritical words.

And after he was silent for a long time, he only felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.

Because Zhou Xianrui knew from this moment that his goal was not only to be a virtuous king, but to follow Emperor Ming's instructions and expectations, and become a wise man who loved the people like a son!

Therefore, I saw Zhou Xianrui, looked at Emperor Ming's eyes intently, and then said solemnly:

"Father, your teachings to your sons, Xian Rui will not dare to forget in this life. But please also be sure to persevere, if there is no father in this situation, the Xue Hou family will inevitably mutiniate immediately. ”

Xiao Jinxuan, who was silently standing alone in the back position, could just see Zhou Xianrui's resolute side face from her angle.

Once reborn, Xiao Jinxuan had already discovered that the things in this life, perhaps because of her interference, had already completely changed dramatically from her previous life.

After all, the person who ascended the throne and became the emperor in his previous life was Zhou Xiantai, and the crown prince was killed for treason.

As for Zhou Xianrui, he was not passed on to the throne as the prince, but soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, the virtuous king of the Great Zhou was given to death by poisoned wine.

But now that it is good, the one who was poisoned has become the prince, and the person who conspired against him has also become Zhou Xiantai, but Zhou Xianrui is logical and can ascend the throne and become the emperor.

Seeing that everyone's fate was undergoing earth-shaking changes, Xiao Jinxuan's heart couldn't help but feel bitter.

Since others can change, why did Zhou Xianyu still escape the catastrophe of dying in battle in the end.

Even the other party died a few years earlier than in her previous life, which in Xiao Jinxuan's opinion, all the reasons were caused by her.

And just when Xiao Jinxuan's eyes were full of sentimentality and a little distracted, suddenly Zhou Xianrui came to the front and pulled her hand up.

Out of instinct, except for Zhou Xianyu, Xiao Jinxuan, who has always been extremely resistant to others who are too close, immediately withdrew his hand.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan's reaction, a trace of helplessness flashed in Zhou Xianrui's eyes, but he didn't force it, just motioned for the other party to come to the royal couch with him.

Then Zhou Xianrui knelt in front of Emperor Ming, and said with a hint of solemnity in his voice:

"I entered the palace today, firstly, to find out the recent condition of my father's illness, and to return all the court situation to you. Another thing is that the son hopes that his father will give me and Jinxuan a marriage. The sons know that I am doing this, I am sorry for the dead seventh brother, and it will make my father even more chilled. But now the situation does not allow the ministers to have other choices, only to marry the daughter of the Shuai Mansion as a side concubine, with the help of the Xiao family's deterrent, in order to compete with the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

If Xiao Jinwen hadn't married, or Xiao Jinyu's reputation, she wouldn't have been too infamous.

In fact, Zhou Xianrui has already accepted a lot of women who are not his cherishes into the mansion, and he is not bad at marrying a woman he doesn't love as a side concubine.

But at the moment, he and Xiao Jinxuan have no other choice, even if Zhou Xianrui knows that the other party is unwilling to marry him in his heart.

But for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the perpetuation of the country, he can only perform this drama with the other party.

And after seeing that Emperor Ming did show a rather reluctant expression, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but kneel beside Zhou Xianrui, and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, King Rui's decision is something we have discussed together. He needs my identity as the daughter of the Xiao family to stabilize his position and compete with the Prime Minister. And Jinxuan also needs an identity that is more noble than my current county lord title and can intervene in the court situation, to avenge the emperor. Maybe you have been in a coma for so long and it is not clear that Xianyu's death was not an accident, but a man-made cause. I have here a piece of evidence from Xiao Jinyu's personal confession, and after reading it, I understand everything. ”

Before entering the palace today, Xiao Jinxuan expected that Emperor Ming would definitely resist the marriage. After all, how much the other party cherishes Zhou Xianyu's son, Xiao Jinxuan also sees it in his eyes.

Seeing that Emperor Ming supported his strength, he read everything that Xiao Jinyu confessed that day.

Immediately, Emperor Ming threw the offering paper on the ground in shock and anger, a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he said trembling and wheezing:

"It turned out to be like this, a good prime minister's house, a good Bai family, it turned out that you killed my Yu'er. Even if I fight for this life, I will never let you rebels and thieves go. ”

It was a long time later, and when Emperor Ming no longer had the strength to sit, but after lying back on the royal couch, he told Zhou Xianrui, who was kneeling on the ground, to get up.

Stretched out his hand to signal Xiao Jinxuan to come closer, patted ** Emperor Yan Ming asked the other party to sit down and speak.

Seeing Xiao Jinxuan sitting there in front of him, his expression was still gentle and calm as usual, and immediately Emperor Ming waved his hand and instructed everyone:

"You all step back first, I want to talk to Jinxuan alone."

Since Emperor Ming said this, everyone naturally would not disobey his intentions, but only the old man Ding who was standing next to the royal couch refused and said:

"I'm not here to stay, old man, to listen to what you have to say. It's just that Your Majesty Emperor Ming, your emotions are fluctuating too much now, and I am now using a silver needle to lift your gods, but I must renew the needle at any time according to your situation. Otherwise, if you don't get it right, you haven't waited for the Gu worm to attack, and this life will have to be explained today. ”

Ding Yi's medical skills are indeed superb, but the reason why he is called a ghost doctor, not a fairy doctor and a divine doctor.

The main reason is that when he heals people, he is always in danger, and the slightest carelessness will cause the sick to die instantly.

As for his strange treatment method, anyone who has heard the name of the ghost doctor is basically not clear.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan immediately spoke first: "Since this is the case, then you will stay." Anyway, you are a reclusive person, and no matter what you hear, you will never leak it. ”

It is said that as soon as this person gets older, he will become like a child, so there is such a thing as an old child.

And this old man Ding was sent over by Xiao Jinxuan in a high hat, and immediately nodded happily, and promised that he would never leak out what he heard.

It seems that because he was in a good mood, he immediately saw Old Man Ding, and looked for it in the broken medicine box.

Finally, he took out a white porcelain bottle, poured out a black pill from it, and then stuffed it into Emperor Ming's mouth.

"With my elixir to help you regulate your body, you can have a good conversation with Jinxuan."

Hearing Old Man Ding's words, in fact, Emperor Ming has already felt that Shicai can't use his strength to use his body, so he will actually have the strength to sit up on his own.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to have strength, Emperor Ming immediately looked at Xiao Jinxuan quite unbearably, and then asked with a hint of caution:

"Jinxuan, you have thought clearly, I know that you are going to become Rui'er's side concubine in order to avenge Xianyu. But I am afraid that you will regret it one day, but by then it will be too late. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan, who had already made up her mind, just nodded seriously, indicating that she had indeed made her choice.

Then she did not want to dwell on this topic, which made her feel extremely painful in her heart, but immediately admonished:

"Your Majesty, now that I am married to King Rui, the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion may indeed be a little jealous in a short period of time. But when everything was arranged, they were just waiting for Prince Tui Tai to ascend the throne. His Royal Highness the King of Narui, and even the Holy Lord, may be in a precarious situation. Therefore, Jinxuan dared to ask for your permission, and immediately issued an order to transfer my grandfather, Xiao Sanjiang, the generalissimo of the Great Zhou Dynasty soldiers and horses, to return to Beijing as a teacher. As long as you release this news, even if the Prime Minister has ambitions, he will not dare to act rashly. ”

Seeing that Emperor Ming heard this, a trace of solemnity and caution flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly continued to persuade:

"I know what Your Majesty is worried about, the Xiao family of the Shuai Mansion controls nearly half of the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, and it is the so-called high merit and shocking the master, if my grandfather returns to the dynasty, it will be a threat to the royal family. But now if you want to deter the jackal of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Your Majesty must transfer the tiger back.

In fact, Emperor Ming didn't know these truths if he didn't taste them, but the Xiao family held military power, and if there was a change in his heart, the potential danger would definitely be more serious than that of the Xue family.

But now that Zhou Xianyu died in battle, Emperor Ming knew that he really had no choice, so he immediately laughed in a low voice, and then said to Xiao Jinxuan:

"Thanks to the fact that you are a woman, otherwise the Xiao family has a junior like you who is good at strategy, which may not be a good thing for the Great Zhou Jiangshan. Since you and Rui'er have already decided, then I naturally won't object to anything, and I will assist him to ascend the throne and become the emperor, Jinxuan I know that you have this ability. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Ming raised his voice to summon King Yongchang and others in.

Then Emperor Ming stretched out his hand and pointed at Deng Chang, and then said with the majesty of the emperor and his calmness:

Deng Chang immediately drew up two holy decrees, the first of which was sent to the frontier, and the old marshal Xuan Xiao immediately led the troops back to the court. And the second will, I agreed to King Rui's request, and gave him the marriage of the lord of Zhaoyang and made him a concubine. Ten days later, the marriage will be completed immediately, adding a happy event to the royal family. ”
