Hearing this, the emperor nodded lightly.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao suddenly set off a storm in his heart. In this way, the cause of Prince Min's death ...... It's already coming out.

That terrible conclusion, like a nightmare, tore Yun Xiao's nerves, she really couldn't believe that Prince Min was actually given death by the emperor.

Because...... Prince Min collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country!

At this moment, Yun Xiao couldn't control her expression anymore, she opened her lips slightly, her eyes widened, and she looked at the emperor, not knowing what she should say next.

However, the emperor remained unfazed, he continued

"Crown Princess, do you think I am very ruthless? Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, but I want Prince Min's life! ”

Yun Xiao heard this, the next time someone suddenly pulled back to reality from the nightmare, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and her words and deeds in front of the Son of Heaven need to be cautious and cautious, she forced herself to remain calm, got up and knelt in front of the emperor's bed, and said

"The concubine didn't dare to ...... The prince violated the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a big crime of the nine clans, Prince Min for the so-called war exploits, colluded with the Tianshan country, betrayed the gold and iron mines of my Great Xia country, and did not care about the life and death of the people of Li in the border pass, and has committed an unforgivable sin, the emperor is extraordinarily gracious, and he has not been angry with the Gao family because of this matter, it is already the emperor's benevolence, not to mention, the emperor has a clear distinction between public and private, fairly, and the concubines are sincerely respectful! ”

"Well said......" The emperor nodded again, his eyes were full of appreciation for Yun Xiao, "Get up, princess ......"

"Emperor Xie!" Yun Xiao suppressed the panic in his heart and sat down in the position just now.

Here, the emperor said, "The high place is unbearable, and those who are in the highest position are actually more involuntary than ordinary people." Everyone says that the Son of Heaven can do whatever he wants, but how can the Son of Heaven really do what he wants? If the Son of Heaven does whatever he wants, it will be a disaster for the country and the people! ”

Speaking of this, the emperor let out a long sigh, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes.

"In my life, apart from helping my father and emperor destroy Loulan, I have not made much meritorious service. Even the peace in Cangzhou in the past ten years was exchanged for a gold mine and an iron mine...... But despite this, during my reign, I have always been conscientious, working hard for national affairs, dreaming of sleep, never daring to have a trace of slackness, but I did not expect that in the twilight of my life, it is difficult to prevent the disaster of my relatives! Prince Min's matter, if I hadn't suppressed it in time, and it was lifted up by the group of people who opposed the Gao family, it would be hard to guarantee that the Gao family would not jump over the wall in a hurry and do something terrible! If they can pry the prince into betraying the country, then rebellion is not a problem! ”

Yun Xiao listened quietly, everything thrilling in this empire, only felt that he was on the rough waves at this moment, lest the slightest carelessness would be a catastrophe.

At this moment, the emperor said again, "Crown princess, do you know why I am telling you these things today? ”

Yun Xiao calmed his mind and replied with great calmness

"My father is teaching his concubines how to assist the prince and how to walk the road to the future! The queen is a relative, and the concubine is also a relative, but the concubine can swear to the emperor that the Gao family, because of the hidden dangers and threats to the Great Xia Kingdom caused by the queen and Prince Min, the concubine will never allow him to happen to the Yun family. If the concubine violates this oath, she will immediately let the concubine be destroyed by heaven and earth, and she will not die well! ”

When the emperor heard this, he was very satisfied

"Very good...... Crown Princess, you are really smart, I really didn't choose the wrong person! I know that you are still concerned about your grandfather's affairs, since the last time I was in the library and reminded you not to pursue this matter too much, you have never been to the library again, nor have you asked the rest of the palace about this matter, you have done a good job, you are very measured, after I go, I will allow you to continue to track down your grandfather's affairs......"

When Yun Xiao heard this, she was very happy, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, the emperor, the concubine ......."

However, the emperor raised his hand to interrupt her words, and the emperor said, "You don't have to rush to thank me, my permission is conditional!" ”

"Yes, please tell me, the concubines must remember!"

Here, the emperor looked at Yun Xiao fixedly and said

"I can see that the prince has a deep affection for you, and this kind of emotion is very rare in the court, and you can't let the prince down...... In the future, no matter what you find, you can't attribute the fault to the prince, you must know that when your grandfather had an accident, the prince was not yet born, and he was completely innocent! I want you to do your best to assist the prince in governing the world and manage the prince's harem during your lifetime, and don't become a stumbling block on the prince's way forward like the queen, can you do it? ”

When Yun Xiao heard this, he replied seriously, "The concubine can, the concubine will definitely try her best to do a good job, please rest assured that my father ......"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Crown Princess, go back, the matter of Prince Min, you have to rot in your stomach, you can't mention it to anyone, including the crown prince, today, you step out of the door of this Chengqian Palace, you are the crown princess, come to the future, when you come again, that is, after a country, you must always remember the oath and promise you made to me today, I will always watch your ...... in the sky"

"Yes, the concubine retired ......"

When Yun Xiao withdrew from the inner hall of the Chengqian Palace, there was snow as big as goose feathers outside.

This year's New Year is really chilling to the bones.

Yun Xiao tightened the fox fur on his body, and when he was about to return to the East Palace, he saw Xia Rui walking towards him.

He held Yun Xiao's hand, frowned, and said, "Xiao'er, why is your face so bad?" Is it cold? ”

Yun Xiao had mixed feelings for a while, opened his lips, but didn't know where to start, but shook his head a little stiffly.

"Xiao'er, don't be too sad, everything is fate......"

Yun Xiao's heart was hot, this should have been his own words to persuade him, but he actually used it to persuade himself "His Royal Highness the Prince......

Yun Xiao suddenly couldn't restrain his emotions and shed hot tears.

Seeing this, Xia Rui hurriedly reached out and hugged Yun Xiao and hugged her tightly.

Yun Xiao leaned on Xia Rui's heart, crying sadly and frightened.

She has been suppressed for too long, and she has endured too much, she really can't stand it......

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year of Tianlong, the emperor in front of all the ministers, it was rumored that the prince was located in the summer Rui, it was night, the emperor could no longer stay up, collapsed in the inner hall of the Chengqian Palace, died at the age of sixty-three, and the whole country was mourned.

Three days later, Xia Rui ascended the throne in the Taiji Palace, and on the same day, under the strong invitation of the Gao family and its party, he decreed that his mother Gao was the queen mother and entered the Shou'an Palace.
