Chapter 123: Chongzong, Empress Xiao

There was a chaos in front of Chengtian Palace, the originally festive canonization ceremony was stirred into a pot of porridge by a few assassins, and the civil and military officials were in a mess, but because the emperor was here, no one dared to run first, but the emperor was the emperor after all, and the majesty of the royal family could not be blasphemed, and the short crossbow in the hands of the palace maids could clearly illustrate this.

Those assassins just went through the motions and returned to Huangquan, lying on the ground in all directions, their bodies pierced like hedgehogs by sharp arrows, and the sky wolf was even more miserable by Xu Zizhen's head cut off.

It's just that Li Luoyan seems to be blind to all this, and looks at Xu Zizhen with stunned eyes, she has long recognized Xu Zizhen, but she can only recognize him now, the crystal tears in her eyes are faintly visible, and she smiled for a long time: "With Brother Xu here, Luo'er has never been afraid of anything." ”

Xu Zizhen's heart warmed, and just as he wanted to speak, Li Meng suddenly pounced, grabbed Li Luoyan's hand, and shouted excitedly: "Sister! ”

Li Luoyan only noticed Li Meng's existence at this time, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then hugged him with great joy: "Xiao Meng, why are you here too?" ”

Li Meng suddenly smiled stiffly, laughed dryly twice and turned to look at Xu Zizhen, Xu Zizhen coughed lightly and said, "This...... It's a long story, we were originally here to help assassinate you, hehe. ”

Li Luoyan was subconsciously stunned, and then burst out laughing: "Who is so lacking in heart?" Looking for the two of you? She said and looked around, and asked Li Meng again, "Xiao Meng, where is Dad?" ”

The smile on Li Meng's face suddenly rose, his eyes turned red, and he said in a low voice, "Dad...... He's dead. ”

Li Luoyan was shocked: "How come? ”

Xu Zizhen patted her on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "It's the gang that came back to rob you, but the bastard who killed Brother Li is not good, I bumped into me a few days ago and shot me, next time I see Lao Tzu will definitely kill him, don't worry!" ”

Li Luoyan raised his head: "Three Peerless Hall? ”

Xu Zizhen nodded: "Yes!" This time, I accompanied Xiao Meng to bury Brother Li, and by the way, I found an opportunity to get this scene back. ”

Li Luoyan groaned for a while, raised his head and was about to speak, but he heard a call not far away: "Luo'er! ”

Xu Zizhen looked back, but saw that the civil and military officials had already dodged a way, and the blessed Western Xia Emperor was anxiously walking here, stumbling and floating, if it weren't for the eunuch next to him to support him, I was afraid that he would trip and fall to the ground at any time.

The emperor quickly walked over and anxiously grabbed Li Luoyan's hand: "Luo'er, are you injured?" ”

Li Luoyan's expression instantly returned to coldness when he looked at the emperor, and he shook his head lightly and said, "I'm fine." ”

The emperor was not at ease, looked at her nervously, and saw that there was indeed no trace of injury, so he relieved his heart, let out a long breath and said with a dry smile: "That's good, that's good." After speaking, he turned his gaze to Xu Zizhen, and said curiously, "Luo'er, ...... this person?" ”

Li Luoyan still looked like she was ignoring her, and replied casually: "This is the Brother Xu I met when I was in the rivers and lakes." ”

Xu Zizhen didn't dare to have the same attitude as her, the person in front of him was also an emperor, even if he looked like him, he had to be respectful, and then he knelt down and fell to the ground: "Xu Zizhen to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The emperor coughed lightly and raised his right hand: "Excuse me, calm down." ”

"Emperor Xie!" Xu Zizhen stood up and peeked at the emperor by the way, but he was stunned in his heart.

He clearly saw the emperor erupt with an awe-inspiring momentum in an instant just now, especially the low "Kill!" The emperor's spirit is fully revealed, but now it has returned to the time when it first came out, and the whole person seems to be a little sluggish, as if he has changed people.

Xu Zizhen was secretly surprised in his heart, but his face was silent, this emperor was by no means what he saw, because he knew that this was a famous emperor in the history of Western Xia-Xia Chongzong, who was a very sociable emperor who could grasp the opportunity very well, not to mention that he was confident that he would never be wrong just now, and that sharp look was still deeply rooted in his heart.

Chongzong glanced at him with a smile, but was stunned again: "You...... Are you a eunuch? ”

Xu Zizhen reacted very quickly, and fell to his knees again: "The villain received the news that someone was going to assassinate the princess, so the villain was in a hurry to make this plan to sneak into the palace, just asking the princess's daughter to be safe, and ask the emperor for forgiveness!" ”

Just kidding, no matter which dynasty or country it is, the harem will always be a forbidden place, and pretending to be a eunuch is definitely a capital crime, how could Xu Zizhen not know the key to Lu Dao, so he didn't wait for the emperor to get mad, and hurriedly rushed to say it before him.

Chongzong's face sank, and his mouth was just about to speak, Li Luoyan flashed sideways in front of Xu Zizhen, looked at Chongzong coldly and said: "If you want to cure Brother Xu's sin, then treat me too, if it weren't for him, I would already be in a different place now, so I don't have to worry about me anymore." ”

"Luo'er, you...... What do you mean by that? A hint of surprise flashed in Chongzong's eyes, but he quickly recovered and forced a smile, "When did I say that I would punish him?" ”

Li Luoyan didn't give him face at all, and said, "Isn't that what you mean?" ”

Chongzong's face froze: "You ......"

Xu Zizhen saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly played a round and said in a voice that only Li Luoyan could hear: "Girl, no matter what he says, he is also your own father, do you want him to make me angry if you go down like this?" Won't you feel distressed then? ”

Li Luoyan was not wary that Xu Zizhen would say such a thing, and suddenly blushed, bit her lip and looked at Chongzong: "Anyway, Brother Xu is just here to save me, you ...... If his father didn't believe it, Luo'er couldn't do anything. ”

Chongzong was about to say anything more, but he suddenly reacted and looked at Li Luoyan with surprise and joy: "You...... What are you calling me? ”

Li Luoyan's eyes were a little complicated, he looked at him, and then secretly glanced at Xu Zizhen, and finally said softly: "Father." ”

Chongzong's face showed surprise that could not be concealed, and he grabbed the eunuch beside him and asked, "Did you hear that?" Luo'er is called my father, Luo'er is finally called my father! ”

The old eunuch was also happy, and bowed deeply: "Congratulations to the emperor!" ”

"Haha......" Chongzong laughed loudly, looking extremely happy.

Xu Zizhen wondered in his heart, this girl just called her father, is the emperor so happy? Could it be that she hadn't called his father for so long since she returned to Western Xia? Do father and daughter have such a big feud?

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from afar: "Empress Xiao Niangniang has arrived!" ”

Chongzong's big smile stopped abruptly, and his face suddenly became embarrassed, and soon a team of honor guards drove over, first two red tweed soft umbrellas opened the way, followed by two rows of neat palace maids and eunuchs holding dust, a sedan chair in the center, and a team of heavily armored forbidden troops followed.

Xu Zizhen saw it clearly, and only felt a burst of speech: This is the queen? Ya's battle is bigger than the emperor's!

It didn't take long for Luan to come to the front, falling gently, the palace maids on both sides lifted the sedan curtain, and a person sat in the sedan chair.

Li Luoyan's eyes showed a hint of obvious vigilance, staring at Empress Xiao in the sedan chair, while Chongzong's face was a little not good-looking, so he took the initiative to greet him, and said with a dry smile: "Luo'er ceremony, why did you arrive at this time?" ”

Empress Xiao replied lightly: "The concubine is a little unwell, so she just rested for a while, but she missed the hour, please forgive the emperor!" ”

Her voice was not salty or light, how could she have half a point of asking for "forgiveness", but Chongzong didn't seem to care at all, and said with a smile: "It's good to come, how can there be any crime that is not guilty." ”

Empress Xiao nodded, didn't speak, and was just about to step out of the sedan chair, when her eyes glanced at the corpses of the assassins on the ground, she immediately frowned, looking a little disgusted, so she stopped her feet and said, "Why is this so messy here?" The emperor is not bad at cleaning up. ”

Her tone seemed very impatient, but Chongzong actually took it and smiled: "You might as well do it." ”

Li Luoyan couldn't stand it anymore, and snorted coldly: "I'll go back to the palace first." After that, he turned around and left, without looking at Chongzong again.

Chongzong was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Luo'er, I still want to talk to you, you ......"

Li Luoyan didn't look back and said, "I'm also a little unwell." After speaking, he beckoned to Xu Zizhen and Li Meng, and walked away.

Empress Xiao looked at Li Luoyan's figure as she walked away, a chill flashed in her eyes, and she said coldly: "The concubine will also go back to the palace first." With that, he raised his hand, got up again, turned around and went back, leaving Chongzong, who had an ugly face, frozen in place.

The civil and military officials looked at each other like a chilling cicada, but no one was surprised, it seemed that this meeting had long been commonplace, Chongzong watched the queen's honor guard go away, and then turned back to the dragon chariot, still with that listless appearance.

The old eunuch beside him screamed: "Get up, go back to the palace!" ”

Until he returned to the palace, Chongzong pushed everyone back, the old eunuch took the door up, returned to him and stood with his hands down, Chongzong suddenly seemed to be a different person, his eyes were blazing with a cold light, and he said coldly: "How many are there today?" ”

The old eunuch said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, there are eight today." ”

Chongzong nodded and sneered, "I want to see how many more she Xiao Yu can find." He pondered for a while and then said, "The two people next to Luo'er, one big and one small, were obviously found by the three peerless halls, but for some reason, they rebelled at the last moment. ”

The old eunuch thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, according to the old slave's opinion, I am afraid that there are not many good players in the Three Peerless Hall, so I will randomly find this kind of person who does not know the roots. ”

The emperor frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "Otherwise, the masters of the Three Peerless Halls are like clouds, and they shouldn't only have these family backgrounds, but I'm afraid that they have other plans." He was silent for a moment, and then said to the old eunuch, "Continue to investigate, but there is news coming quickly." ”

"The old slave obeys!"
