Chapter 258: What are you afraid of
The ranks under the city walls went out in a mighty way, and there was nothing left on the city walls.
Bai Huan single-handedly suppressed the complicated discussions in the court.
The throne is vacant for a day, and the people in the court are ready to move for a day.
Even the few remaining princes can dig back from the territory and push up sincerely.
The little prince was born to a palace maid, and originally did not have any competitive advantages, but now there are fewer and fewer people with royal blood, so he has some advantages.
I asked him, "Do you want to be emperor?" ”
He grabbed the cup in his hand, looked at me in a daze, and said in a panic, "No, no, I don't want to." ”
There is panic and uneasiness in his eyes, and there are even some hidden ambitions, which are faintly flowing.
I lowered my eyes and smiled, I asked Pei Yousheng the same question that day on the wall.
He didn't have any expression on his face, and even casually swept down with a squint, "No, this king is not rare." ”
This throne, this world, in his opinion, is with a sordid past, and it is the thing he hates the most.
He refused to touch it, and mercifully sent me the whole broken mountains and rivers, and detained me in them, and I was depressed.
I chuckled and slumped back into the slump.
It was getting colder and colder, and my body became more and more lazy, and sometimes I even wanted to close my eyes and never have to open them.
"What are you afraid of, the throne has been vacant for a long time, but you can't find the right person for a long time, what are you afraid of?"
"Once you ascend to a high position, you can see the mountains and govern the country from now on, don't you really want to?"
I didn't even want to pretend, and asked bluntly.
The person opposite was restrained and uneasy, the teacup in his hand was rubbed many times, and his face was undisguised ambition.
How could they not dare, if they did not dare, how could they rush back from a remote territory.
If you don't dare, how dare you collude with the minister and start plotting.
The previous bloodbath in the palace, probably he had never seen it, otherwise where would he have such thoughts.
"There's always someone more suitable." The person who hesitated for a long time finally raised his head and said in an ominous voice: "I came back this time just to bring you some red ginseng." ”
"You have been pampered since childhood, and if it is cold today, you still need these nourishments." He said reservedly.
I looked at him indifferently, these ironing words, if they were placed in ordinary people's homes, I was afraid that they would be really heartwarming.
can be placed in this stormy palace, but it is always inevitable to be a little cold.
I really want to believe that it is rare for him to return to Beijing, and he really cares about his feelings, but it is difficult to convince himself that whoever returns to Beijing will bring weapons with him, and who will secretly gather people when he returns to Beijing.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.
"Brother thinks so, it is better, the thirteenth princess will be in power, and I will ask my brother to take care of it when the time comes."
I said plainly, and took a gentle sip of tea.
But the person who was still playing the warmth card just now smashed the cup in his hand to the ground and looked at me in shock, "The woman is the emperor?!" ”
The emotions in the shocked eyes are too late to clean up, the ambition inside, the unwillingness inside, and the exposure are all gone.
I was induced, and I cut it off coldly, "What's wrong?" ”
"Those who have the ability live in it, does my brother want to support the regent?" I asked one by one, sharply, "Or do you want to be in power yourself, brother?" ”
Pierced by his hidden thoughts, he knelt on the ground, a little panicked, "No, no, it's not like that. ”
After he left in a trance, I let Thirteen, who was standing behind, come out.
She was wearing a goose-yellow shirt, and her hair was bunched into a round bun, which was different from the original formal dress, and there were more folk fireworks.
"Sister."
She climbed into my arms, her round eyes very clean, like a river that had never been contaminated with impurities.
"Have you heard, in front of interests, there have never been close relatives, and wild beasts can even kill each other for food, let alone people."
"People are just shouting about courtesy, righteousness and shame, but in fact they are just self-deception as a fig leaf."
The person in his arms was soft and obedient, and his eyes were a little ignorant, but he nodded vigorously.
She is not the most suitable candidate for the emperor, but this is the most suitable way for her to save her life.
I looked down at her, she was still playing with the tassels on my body, and she looked up and smiled sweetly at me, without any scheming.
I'm wondering, what did my father teach me at my age?
Memories collided chaotically, one moment it was my father who threw me out ruthlessly and let me meet the regent, and the other time he took my hand with distressed eyes and taught me the way of the emperor himself.
"Ah Luan, my delicate child."
My father hugged me, pointed to the thick book on the table, and smiled mildly and a little sadly, "You should be held in the palm of your hand, if possible, I hope you don't need it for the rest of your life." ”
"I will always get married, I will always be in contact with the outside, and maybe I can break out of the world." I looked up at him.
There seemed to be a small glint in his eyes reflected by the sunlight.
Turning to laugh, he gently touched my head with his thick palm, "Ah Luan has an idea, it will definitely go smoothly, if you get married, then the father will recruit you a concubine." ”
"Let you be healthy for the rest of your life, you are very much like your mother, but it's a pity that I can't protect her."
Another sigh, "Ah Luan." ”
"Sister." Thirteen climbed on my shoulders and pulled me out of the memory.
The round eyes were a little dazed, and they wiped my cheeks with their little fleshy hands in vain, "Sister, why are you crying?" ”
I wiped my face with the back of my hand, only to notice that tears had fallen at some point.
"Thirteen, will you hate me?" I looked down at her.
My father never showed me the darkness of the world, and the guards I arranged were all one by one.
But I took the opposite path, I took Thirteen to a high position, even if I put all the secret guards around me beside her, but I was still uneasy.
There are so many pickles in the palace that you can't prevent it.
"No, it won't." Thirteen said categorically, and my shadow seemed to be reflected in those dark and clean eyes, "If it weren't for Sister A, I would have died a long time ago." ”
"Changxing said that if Sister A is the king, she must be the king, and at that time, the world will definitely be peaceful and the people will be healthy."
When I heard this, I remembered the way Changxing stood with a sword, stubbornly straightening his spine, as if nothing could bend the backbone of that body, obviously still so young, but with an inconsistent maturity.
"And what about him now?"
Changxing has been with him since he was accepted into the palace, but he hasn't seen him today.
Thirteen hugged my neck tightly, lay on my arms, and hesitated, "Maybe something is out, this person is more stubborn than the old lady, like a stone." ”
Speaking of him left and right, he just refused to say.
