Chapter 159:-for-tat

"Who is this?" Situ Jin's gaze fell on Lin Xiaojiu, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

Luo Xuanze subconsciously stretched out his hand and wrapped his hand around Lin Xiaojiu's waist, "My wife." ”

Lin Xiaojiu's body stiffened, and he raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Xuanze, as if he didn't expect him to say this.

The two had never heard of the regent marrying, and they both looked at each other.

"Is this joking with us?" Chu Yuning said with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Even Situ Jin laughed, "I have never heard that the prince married the princess, it seems that this should be the future princess's wife." ”

Looking at the slightly stiff expression on Chu Yuning's face, Situ Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, with a little chill.

However, Chu Yuning was so focused on the body of the regent that he didn't notice the anger in Situ Jin's eyes at all.

"You think I'm a joker?" After Luo Xuanze finished speaking, he snorted coldly, and walked directly towards Zhaoyang Hall with Lin Xiaojiu.

Behind him, looking at the figures of the two people gradually moving away, Chu Yu clenched his hands tightly.

"What? Jealous? Situ Jin's voice was a little hoarse, Chu Yuning quickly came back to his senses, leaked a sweet smile at Situ Jin, and then stretched out his hand to wrap it around his arm, looking coquettish.

"I'll only eat your jealousy."

Looking at her alluring little face, Situ Jin's eyes closed slightly, and he reached out and gently brushed her cheek.

The cold touch was like a sharp blade, and Chu Yuning only felt hairy all over his body.

"Really? You'd better know who you are now, or I won't be able to protect you if something happens. Situ Jin's cold voice was like a knife stuck in Chu Yuning's heart.

A small face turned pale in an instant, looking at Chu Yuning's expression, Situ Jin sneered and left with his sleeves brushed up.

Chu Yuning, who was left behind, was directly paralyzed to the ground, his hands under his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his green tendons were bulging.

She can't just give up, Luo Xuanze is her last choice, she won't let Lin Xiaojiu's slut snatch it easily, never.

The warm winter sun seems to be particularly dazzling, reflecting on the snow, making the sprawling palace even more bleak.

Lin Xiaojiu saw the man sitting on the golden dragon chair, and his appearance looked somewhat similar to Luo Xuanze.

Luo Xuanze looked mature and steady, but the one in front of him looked a little young and young, but the dark eyes were a little deep, which made people unable to see through.

"See the Emperor." Luo Xuanze saluted, his tone flat. "I don't know if the emperor has something important to do when he comes to Weichen?"

"Hurry up, my lord, I really have something to discuss with you when I came to you this time." Luo Xingchen said with a smile, his eyes paused when he saw Lin Xiaojiu.

"Who is this?"

"My lady, Lin Xiaojiu." Luo Xuanze said coldly.

Luo Xingchen's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lin Xiaojiu's eyes with more curiosity, "Didn't I hear when the prince got married?" Isn't the prince lying to me? ”

The voice is getting colder and colder, deceiving the emperor, that is the crime of stealing the house.

Lin Xiaojiu knew that the emperor would not really respect Luo Xuanze, so he stepped forward with a smile, "If you go back to the emperor, it is true that I have never alarmed others when I married the prince, but we have indeed worshiped heaven and earth." ”

Seeing that Lin Xiaojiu suddenly came forward to defend Luo Xuanze, Luo Xingchen's face darkened slightly.

Then he suddenly laughed, "The princess is really different. ”

Lin Xiaojiu couldn't figure out what he meant for a while, and subconsciously glanced at Luo Xuanze.

Luo Xuanze shook his head at her, and Lin Xiaojiu had no choice but to shut up.

"Why did you come to the emperor to find Weichen?" Luo Xuanze asked.

Luo Xingchen didn't speak, his eyes moved from Luo Xuanze's body to Lin Xiaojiu next to him, and the gaze in his eyes was gloomy and uncertain.

I don't know why Lin Xiaojiu has a little more bad premonition in his heart.

"The border war has not been resolved for a long time, and the people are suffering because of the war, and more and more refugees are pouring into Kyoto, and the prince knows this." Otherwise, there was a woman's voice behind him.

Lin Xiaojiu noticed that a woman in a phoenix robe slowly walked out behind the curtain, although she was middle-aged, her appearance was still very charming, and it was not difficult to see that she must have been a beauty when she was young.

The person who can suddenly appear at this time and openly interrupt the emperor's speech, there is only one woman in the world today, and that is the Queen Mother.

According to legend, the queen mother only has an only son of Luo Xingchen, after the death of the first emperor, she took her young son to the throne, although there is a regent to support her, in charge of the government affairs of the court, but she has always been the emperor's behind-the-scenes military advisor.

During the period of Luo Xuanze's disappearance, this woman directly carried out a major blood change in the court with her own strength, and stabilized the emperor's power.

It is enough to see that this woman's scheming is extremely deep.

can let his son endure in the shadow of others for so long, if it weren't for her by Luo Xingchen's side, I'm afraid that this yellow-haired boy I would have been eaten by these people in Kyoto, and there would not even be bones left.

"What the Queen Mother said is extremely true, if the people are uneasy at the current court war, or if the war on the border has not been resolved for a long time, I am afraid that more innocent people will be affected." Luo Xuanze said.

He had done a lot of twists and turns before, hoping that Luo Xingchen would be able to send troops to support the border. Solve the war on the border, but they were all rejected by Luo Xingchen, but I don't know what they mean by suddenly mentioning this matter today.

"Seeing the people suffering and mourning, the family and the emperor's heart is also very uncomfortable, but the prince also knows that the treasury is empty at the moment, and there is no way to support the war on the border." The Queen Mother sighed helplessly.

"The border fighters can't turn a blind eye, otherwise it will be our big country that will suffer in the end."

The Queen Mother's eyes, which were still indulged just now, suddenly glowed.

"An envoy has been sent to the border today to negotiate with us." The Queen Mother said suddenly.

The corners of Luo Xuanze's eyebrows twitched, his face tightened, and the hand holding Lin Xiaojiu slowly became stronger.

An envoy came to negotiate at the border, but he didn't get any news, which shows how wary the emperor and the queen mother are of him.

"I wonder what the conditions they offered?"

The long winter has just begun, and the border towns have always made a living by making wood, but when winter comes, it is their hardest days, so every year at this time of year they will harass various neighboring countries in exchange for the material emperor who can keep them in winter.

"Marriage." The Queen Mother said without hesitation.

The border envoy did send an envoy to discuss cooperation, and he made a very tempting condition, that is, marriage.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with this matter, but the object of the envoy's marriage would actually be the regent.

Political marriage has always been a very important cooperation between the two countries.
