Chapter 43: Marriage?

"Protect Childe! Protect the big girl! ”

Liang Qizhu immediately became vigilant, and seven or eight guards also consciously surrounded Xiyue and Shen Xinan in the middle, unsheathed their weapons, and made a posture of being ready to shoot at any time.

The strong man in the courtyard saw the noble Xiyue brothers and sisters at first glance, his eyes lit up first, and his killing intent flashed.

"Who are you?" He asked unkindly, his voice was arrogant, his expression was fierce, and a young boy like Shen Xinan couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"We were passing by, wanting to come in and rest and beg for water."

Before Liang Qizhu and Shen Xinan could speak, Xiyue spoke.

"Gah."

With a crisp sound, the dilapidated courtyard door opened, and the one-eyed strong man carried a scimitar on his shoulder, "Come in." ”

Liang Qi gave his subordinates a glance at each other, and then looked at Xi Yue, and was about to persuade, but Xi Yue had already taken the lead in entering.

Shen Xinan didn't worry about his sister, so he also followed in, and even rushed to the front.

"Childe, girl, be careful." Liang Qizhu had no choice but to follow in.

The one-eyed strong man looked at Xiyue and his party coldly, and he judged from the steady pace of Liang Qizhu and others that this group was definitely not an ordinary guard, at least they had been on the battlefield and had lives in their hands.

But...... The corners of his mouth curled into a wicked smile, and the ones he was best at dealing with were soldiers.

The simple and messy yard has rare tables and chairs, but they are all made of wood, exposed to the sun and rain, and they don't look strong enough.

"Yu Jing! Come and ask for water! Don't hurry up and get some water! The one-eyed man burst through the house and shouted.

Xiyue looked at the closed door expectantly, Master, the apprentice is here!

At this time, the capital, the imperial palace.

Emperor Hongzhao went to Fengqi Palace early to accompany the queen for dinner, the meal was set, but the husband and wife did not use chopsticks, and even sent the people who were waiting.

"Sure enough, someone wants to rebel."

After a moment of silence, Emperor Hongzhao said, he said and handed a book of folds to Empress Yang, "Look, this is a secret letter." ”

"They are avenging Kong Shen." Empress Yang glanced at her and said, she didn't care very much, and ate the vegetables while talking.

When Emperor Hongzhao saw his wife start eating, he also picked up chopsticks, but the founding couple did not have any rules of eating and sleeping, eating and chatting, and talking about family and country affairs.

"The Shen family's report letter, I didn't care about it at first."

"Hmph." Empress Yang snorted coldly, raised her eyes and glanced at her husband with disgust, "If the Shen family doesn't have that report letter, do you want to anger the Shen family?" ”

"Of course." Emperor Hongzhao said confidently, "If you don't report it, what's the difference between it and rebellion?" It can be seen that the Shen family is loyal, and they are willing to hand over the military power slowly, which is more worry-free than those few. ”

Speaking of the others, Empress Yang looked at her husband again, "Who are you dissatisfied with?" ”

"You see you say this, if they all check, can I have an opinion?" Emperor Hongzhao was wronged for himself, and his face fell, "Zhuo Tianzhi wants to marry the Shen family, but Shen Qingtai runs fast, hum." ”

He sneered, "Shen Qingtai came back, but he still couldn't run away." ”

Empress Yang didn't know about this, and surprise flashed on her face, "The Zhuo family wants to marry the Shen family?" Who's with whom? ”

"Zhuo Tianzhi's eldest grandson is five years old this year, as old as Xiao Xixi."

"Impossible." When Empress Yang heard this, she immediately shook her head and denied, "At least it's also a son." ”

"What's the importance of generation? If it weren't for Xiao Xixi, then Zhuo Tianzhi had a concubine, who was not yet allowed to be a family, and was the same age as Xinan. ”

"That's even more unlikely." Empress Yang's heart was completely let go. "Xinan is a person who wants to inherit the title, how can he marry a concubine?"

"Therefore, the eldest grandson of the Zhuo family marries the Shen family, and this path is feasible."

From Emperor Hongzhao's expression, it can be seen that he is very dissatisfied with Zheng Guogong's plan.

And the emperor's words happened to be heard by Zhao Yue, who came back from outside.

He was stunned on the spot, Shen Xiyue wanted to marry the Zhuo family?
