In his early years, when Zhu Di was cutting the domain of Emperor Jianwen, he pretended to be crazy and stupid because of his lack of strength to alleviate Emperor Jianwen's suspicion of him.

He once lived in a pigsty, and it is said that he once ate a pig in front of Nishikiei, who watched over him.

Zhu Di used this way of completely destroying the image to let Emperor Jianwen give him a chance to develop. built weapons and armor under the ground of his own Yanwang Mansion, and finally had the battle of Jingjing in the future.

This experience made Zhu Di's heart as hard as iron, and there was nothing he didn't dare to do in this world.

And at this moment, Zhu Di looked at Wang Xiao with real reluctance.

He did have the mind of completely exterminating the hidden danger when he met Jianwen. As for Wang Xiao as a hostage, it doesn't matter how good his grandson is in Zhu Di's heart, because he has a grandson.

When Wang Xiao said this, Zhu Di's mentality finally changed.

With such an excellent heir, he was reluctant.

"Hahahaha~~~" Zhu Di laughed loudly, attracting the attention of the audience.

Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, watched with a fiery look at Zhu Di giving wine to Wang Xiao. Zhu Gaosui on the side fanned the flames, "This little wolf cub doesn't know what ecstasy soup he poured into the old man, and he coaxed the old man so happy." ”

Zhu Gaoxu picked up the silver bowl in front of him and drank it all, and he had already made up his mind to do something big when he went to Saibei next year!

"You kid, are you trying to show off your knowledge in front of other girls?"

Wang Xiao smiled and arched his hand, "Grandson's careful thinking naturally can't hide from grandpa, and I hope that grandpa will save some face for grandpa in front of Ruowei." ”

Zhu Di was very happy, "What you said before is deeply in line with my intentions, and grandpa is very happy." This girl's business is as you please. ”

"I am determined to go to Saibei again." Zhu Di looked at Wang Xiao, "What do you think?" ”

After receiving several envoys from the northern tribe of Saibei, Zhu Di sensed that these envoys had the intention of uniting. Determined to strike first.

"Nobody wants to fight all day long, how good it is to eat, drink, sing, and dance." Wang Xiao spoke to himself, not caring at all, Zhu Di's face gradually turned cold, "But we want to sing and dance, and we can't help it if people don't let us." ”

"I can't help it."

Wang Xiao picked up a tribute pear on the table and handed it to Sun Ruowei, and stuffed a knife for her to peel, "Whoever doesn't let us sing and dance, then let them die." Fighting a war is not a good thing, but if a war can be fought for a hundred years, then it must be fought to the end! ”

Zhu Di stretched out his hand and picked up the pear pieces and still put them in his mouth, "You monkey cub are completely different from the prince." He was bent on appeasement and peace. But you can fight whenever you want, and you don't know how to be afraid. ”

"I know what I'm afraid of." Wang Xiao nodded, "There is nothing wrong with appeasing harmony, but the premise is that the wolves on the grassland must be subdued first." Otherwise, they will keep pounce and bite until the last drop of blood is shed. ”

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, "You can understand this, it's good, it's really good." If the Ming Dynasty can be handed over to you in the future, I can be relieved. ”

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Sun Ruowei on the side suddenly shouted and pounced, opening his arms in front of Zhu Di.

In a dark corner in the distance directly in front of Zhu Di, an assassin was shooting crossbow arrows at Zhu Di with a crossbow.

Crossbow arrows that use mechanical power are more powerful and have a longer range than bows and arrows. In addition to the trouble of reloading, the archers are destroyed in every way.

The Assassins used a hand crossbow, as it was easy to carry into the fair. Compared with the real military crossbow, the power is indeed weakened a lot.

But even so, if you are shot in the vital point, it will only be a matter of minutes to give away your life.

Before Wang Xiao and Zhu Di were talking, Sun Ruowei, who was bored, watched from the sidelines. It was perhaps fate, and she saw the Assassin with his crossbow raised in front of the Emperor's shadow.

did not go through any fierce ideological struggle, Sun Ruowei, who simply thought that Zhu Di was a good emperor, subconsciously pounced in front of him.

At this time, she had only one thought in her heart, that is, she could finally go to see her father and sister after she died this time.

Then, Sun Ruowei felt a darkness in front of her, and a broad back figure stood in front of her.

Wang Xiao was hit by a crossbow arrow in the chest, and was hit backwards by the huge force impact and hit Sun Ruowei's body. Then the two fell to Zhu Di's side again.

Although it is only a hand crossbow, although Wang Xiao is wearing inner armor. But Wang Xiao, who was hit by that kind of strong impact, was almost out of breath. There was a pain in my chest, and it felt like a crack in my bones.

Wang Xiao held his breath and raised his hand to flip over the table in front of Zhu Di and block it in front of them, and then roared with his last strength.

"Escort!!"

It all happened in a short period of time, and the people around didn't even notice what was going on.

Wait until Wang Xiao overturned the table and roared angrily. A large number of brocade guards and palace forbidden troops flocked to it.

The scene was chaotic, and all kinds of screams and screams were endless.

Seeing that the assassin might flee because of this, Zhu Di, who watched his most important grandson fall to the ground with an arrow, was furious, "Everyone lie down!" There is no mercy for those who trespass! ”

The surroundings were full of brocade guards and forbidden soldiers who acted as shields, and Sun Ruo, who was sitting on the ground, hugged Wang Xiao tightly with tears in his eyes, "Why are you so stupid." ”

Wang Xiao leaned on Sun Ruowei's arms, his eyes were affectionate, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a bitter smile. The acting skills of the top male protagonist of the romance drama at the tragic end are fully revealed.

"Because it's you."

"You little monkey cub, don't hurry up!" Zhu Di's voice came from the side, interrupting this affectionate parting of you and me, "Don't tell me, your inner armor can't block the crossbow." I really can't stop it, all the people who make the prison inside have to die! ”

Zhu Di's words brought Sun Ruowei back to his senses. yes, this bastard was wearing inner armor before he came!

Sun Ruowei's tears were immediately stopped, and she glared at Wang Xiao through gritted teeth.

Wang Xiao straightened up from Sun Ruowei's arms, took off the three-inch short crossbow hanging on his clothes, and looked at it, "Made of stainless steel, I am really willing to spend the money." ”

I put it under my nose and sniffed it, "It's also poisonous." ”

Zhu Di took the short crossbow and looked at it, and looked at Sun Ruowei directly on the side, "What do you think, why did you run out to block the crossbow arrows for me?" ”

Sun Ruowei bowed his head and responded, "Your Majesty is a good emperor." ”

Zhu Di, who was originally frosty, finally smiled, and stretched out his hand to point at Wang Xiao, "Be kind to him in the future, he is a person who is willing to give your life for you." ”

The Assassin was quickly caught, or rather found. Because the Assassin had swallowed the poison early.

Although the Assassin was dead, things would not end there. It could even be said that this is only the beginning of a large-scale turmoil.

Wang Xiao took Zhu Di's reward and returned to the East Palace with Sun Ruowei's support. And the tide outside is gradually rolling up.

"Get up and eat."

"My chest hurts and I can't get up. Someone has to feed it. ”

Sun Ruowei stayed in the palace like this, and her job all day was to take care of the injured Wang Xiao.

"You're really, you'll be well tomorrow morning, why are you pretending to be sick?" Sun Ruowei sat on the edge of the bed with a bowl of rice porridge, unable to understand why Wang Xiao pretended to be injured.

Wang Xiao, who was leaning on the head of the bed, put down Song Shi in his hand, raised his chin and motioned for Sun Ruowei to come closer and feed the porridge: "I'm not pretending to be injured, it's the old man who needs me, I'm injured now." ”

Sun Ruo's eyes flashed slightly, indicating that he didn't understand.

Wang Xiao took a bite of rice porridge and explained to her casually, "Who do you think did the assassin this time?" There is so much energy that can bring people in, not to mention, but also crossbow arrows. This is the palace, not anyone's back garden. There can be a few people who can do this. In my opinion, this was done either by the crown prince or the king of Han. ”

Sun Ruowei glared at him, "You said the prince?" How can it be. ”

"yes, how is that possible. It's a pity that you and I can think like this, but the emperor can't. To be an emperor is to be suspicious of anyone who might have a motive to do such a thing. Unfortunately, if the assassination is successful, the person who will benefit the most will be the prince. ”

Wang Xiao's words made Sun Ruowei unacceptable, and the emperor's house was too chaotic.

"Actually, the prince didn't do this." Wang Xiao laughed, "It is precisely because the prince benefits the most, so it will not be his doing." Because everybody thinks that. The old man also knew about this, so I was going to be injured and recuperate, and then the prince stayed in the prince's mansion and honestly thought about it behind closed doors. As for the one who is the biggest suspect, it is estimated that he will be imprisoned soon. ”

Sun Ruowei looked at Wang Xiao with a ridiculous face, "What are you talking about, why don't I understand." You said that the emperor also knew that the king of Han was the most suspicious, and then the emperor locked up the prince and then let the king of Han go to prison for the country? It's all a mess. ”

Wang Xiao took the rice porridge and drank it in a big gulp, "You are still young, it's normal that you can't figure it out now." Have you ever heard of it? The old man is going to meet Jianwen, if such an important matter is known by King Han, he will definitely interfere and make trouble. So now these things, including letting the Han King supervise the country, are all to confuse him, so that he can't be distracted to make trouble. ”

Sun Ruowei nodded suddenly: "As soon as you say that, I will understand." But why did you want to close the crown prince, and also arrested the subordinate officials of the East Palace. I heard the crown princess say before that even the first assistant Yang Ge was imprisoned in the edict. ”

Wang Xiao, who drank up a bowl of rice porridge after dividing it by two, burped and handed the porridge bowl to Sun Ruowei, "Do you want to know?" If you really want to know, I'll tell you when I kiss me. ”

Sun Ruo blushed slightly and was about to get up, but was pulled by Wang Xiao, "Since you are so shy, then I will kiss you." ”

After a while, Sun Ruowei, who was flushed, struggled to get up and hammered Wang Xiao a few times.

"Murder your husband, you are not the queen yet, and you can't do Wu Zetian if you kill me now."

Sun Ruo paused slightly, and the flush on his face quickly faded and turned pale.

Wang Xiao leaned over and took her in his arms, "It's just a joke, you take it seriously." Besides, even if you really do Wu Zetian, I don't care, anyway, I would have hung up at that time. ”

Sun Ruo turned his head slightly and pouted not to look at him, although he was better, he still didn't forgive Wang Xiao.

"Alright, I'll tell you about it. The Han Dynasty is in charge of the country, and the power is very great. He was the biggest during the time when the emperor was away. He can't move the prince, but the people around the prince can be suppressed or even killed in various ways, so as to hit the prince's power. Yang Shiqi is a subordinate official of the East Palace, and he is a hardcore princeling. The old man locked them all up, seemingly punishing the prince, but in fact he was protecting them. ”

Now Sun Ruowei completely understood that all the root causes of so many strange things in this world during this period of time lie in this.

After being silent for a moment, Sun Ruowei said something leisurely.

"You royals, it's a mess."
