Until Si Huazhen and Bai Weiying left, Si Helin still did not withdraw his gaze, but at this moment, he had a clear understanding in his heart that he had never had before, that is: in the near future, maybe tomorrow, or a few months later, he and Du Zhi will usher in an unprecedented difficult time.

But as long as you get through it, everything will be as smooth as the road.

Du Zhi patted Si Helin's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are my son, although you are not biological, but you are also better than your own child, in the future, the two of us will really depend on each other." ”

Du Zhi's tone was indignant, but she couldn't hear any decadence, but there were a little more indescribable complex emotions.

"I'll do my best to protect you." Although the young man is still immature, every word represents his solemn promise.

Seeing this, Du Zhi also responded with a kind "yes", and did not say anything else.

The emperor's funeral lasted for seven consecutive days before it could be regarded as a ceremony, and everyone's attention shifted to who was qualified to inherit the throne and enter the court.

There are different opinions from all sides, and the attitude of Si Huazhen's faction is to protect Si Helin, but Si Yuanqiong's faction is openly and secretly saying that Si Yuanqiong is the most suitable person.

When the controversy entered the white-hot stage, Si Huazhen Shi Ran spoke up, interrupting everyone's chattering argument, "Before His Majesty died, he secretly handed over an edict to this king, and what it said was to be passed on to the second prince Si Helin. ”

Si Huazhen's voice was not heavy, but it implied coercion and indescribable coldness, and for a while, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

After a long time, Si Yuanqiong chuckled, mockingly, and asked meaningfully, "Oh? Is it? But why has this king never received the slightest rumor? Moreover, His Majesty is seriously ill in bed, how can he have the energy to get up and write this edict? Jingping Wang Mo is not talking nonsense, right? ”

Si Yuanqiong's tone was obviously bad, and a dim light even flashed under her eyes, as if she was expecting something.

Si Huazhen knew it well, he glanced at Si Yuanqiong with a faint look in his eyes, and replied lightly: "How did King Huai'an know that His Majesty couldn't get up?" Why are you so sure? Could it be that King Huai'an did something in it, so he has such confidence? ”

The momentum exuded by Si Huazhen's body suddenly became fierce, and the atmosphere between the two was even more tense, Si Yuanqiong hooked the corners of his lips with a smile, "This king is also concerned about chaos, after all, this succession to the throne is the top priority, how can King Jingping finalize this matter in a few words?" ”

Si Huazhen was not annoyed, the look on his face made people not angry, under the attention of everyone, he took out the bright yellow edict from the wide sleeve, and read aloud: "I feel that time is short, the country is stormy, I don't want to see the brother wall, the prince cannibalism happens, so I specially set up this edict, pass on the throne and the second prince Si Helin, and order King Jingping as the auxiliary minister, when my son can be alone, he can retreat." ”

When the emperor died, he did not forget to put Si Huazhen together, he knew Si Huazhen's ability, and finally saw Si Huazhen's personality clearly, and handed Si Helin over to Si Huazhen, he was actually very relieved.

It's just that the emperor still doesn't want Si Huazhen to always hold power, so he made it so clear in the edict, naturally in order to give Si Helin an excuse to let Si Huazhen hand over power in the future.

When taking out this edict from the secret room today, after Bai Weiying saw what was written on it, his contempt for the emperor was even greater, "This is obviously crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and really treating you as a tool person who comes and goes when you are called!" ”

Bai Weiying was upset for Si Huazhen, even though Si Huazhen planned to retire to the city with Bai Weiying as an ordinary couple after the turmoil completely subsided.

But this does not mean that Bai Weiying would want to see the emperor so brazenly ask Si Huazhen, and even come to such a moral kidnapping.

This is really disgusting!

Si Huazhen didn't feel much, his slender and powerful fingertips touched the jade wrench finger at his thumb, and in turn comforted Bai Weiying and said: "It's okay, the emperor has died, what is going on after this death, but I can't help him anymore." ”

Bai Weiying took a deep breath and spit out the restlessness, and then seemed to think of something, and the gloomy color between her eyebrows couldn't help but faintly flash.

"Today's court meeting is afraid that it is no different from the Longtan Tiger's Den, you must retreat with your whole body, even if you suffer some losses temporarily, don't compete with Si Yuanqiong for a while."

Bai Weiying also gave a lot of orders, and Si Huazhen responded patiently one by one, and now he finally made the edict public, but it was a little more inexplicably relaxed, and everything was moving in the direction that Si Huazhen expected.

There was no trace of expression on Si Huazhen's handsome face, his facial features were deep, and he looked at the ministers like a god, and then locked his gaze on Si Yuanqiong's body.

Si Yuanqiong raised her eyebrows with a little unspeakable interest, and said lightly with thin lips: "Tsk, it's not that this king believes in King Jingping, it's just that this king also accidentally heard some rumors. ”

Si Huazhen's dark black eyes were still the same calm and self-contained as before, and he sneered at each other: "Oh? Even if it's a rumor, it's groundless, what's the matter? Is the king of Huai'an now like the long-tongued woman in the market, chewing the root of people's tongues like this behind his back? ”

Si Yuanqiong didn't take Si Huazhen's sarcasm to heart, and her phoenix eyes narrowed, "So, this king only thought about taking advantage of the situation to verify it today, King Jingping, half a month ago, you were summoned to the palace by the first emperor, and after that, you suddenly called it sick, and this king wants to know, what happened that day?" Will King Jingping, who has always been healthy, accidentally get sick? ”

Si Yuanqiong deliberately bit the syllables of the word "carelessly" very hard, as if she insisted that Si Huazhen could not refute it.

Si Huazhen's tone was calm and gloomy, adding a bit of sarcasm, "Illness comes like a mountain, this king is not a saint, birth, old age, sickness and death are also human nature, could it be that King Huai'an is suspecting that this king is pretending to be sick?" Isn't it clear to you what's going on? ”

There are dumb riddles between Si Huazhen and Si Yuanqiong, but people who don't know the inside story are confused.

Si Huazhen didn't wait for Si Yuanqiong to say something, and then continued: "If you want to add a crime, there is no excuse, if the king of Huai'an intends to give this king an any charge, no matter how the king explains, it will be useless." ”
