Baektu Mountain.

"Childe."

"That Xiao Zhen."

"Someone sent something up again."

"This is the third time."

In front of the tombstone, Xiaoluo stood behind him and said with a bit of disgust.

"Oh?"

"How persistent you are?"

"Since you sent it, you will accept it."

What is Xiao Zhen thinking, how can he not know?

People from the Xiao family?

It's not a fuel-efficient lamp.

*

Beiyan, Shengjing City.

The Xiao family has gone through three generations of plots, first taking the position of queen to lead the harem, then taking the position of the first assistant of the cabinet to control the government, and finally winning the position of commander of the forbidden army to further expand the army.

So as to achieve the goal of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Up and down in the north of Yan, only Xiao Shixiong, the king of the south, is known, and no one knows that he is the son of heaven.

The words of the Xiao family are like a holy decree.

No one dared to disobey.

*

"The son has seen his mother."

Knowing that his mother had summoned him, Xiao Zhen hurried over.

"Do you know why the mother summoned you?"

Xiao Mu glared at Xiao Zhen fiercely and asked him.

"My son knows."

When Xiao Zhen heard this, he faced it very calmly. In his heart, he knew that the mother must have known everything about what happened in the mountains.

"Hmph."

"You know?"

"Such a big person, a gentleman doesn't stand under the wall, don't you understand such a simple truth?"

"The Xiao family only has one son-in-law like you, if you have three longs and two shorts, then who will inherit such a good foundation?"

"How can you be so ignorant?"

Xiao Mu was furious and reprimanded him sharply.

"The mother concubine is angry, and the son knows his mistake."

"My son will definitely pay attention in the future."

"However, my son is also a blessing in disguise this time."

Xiao Zhen saw that his mother was angry and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Oh?"

"Almost buried in the tiger's mouth, is it still called a blessing in disguise?"

When Xiao Mu heard this, she said to him with a bit of sarcasm. The guards returned to the incident, but they didn't know how Xiao Zhen was rescued.

"The concubine doesn't know."

"Although my son almost lost his life, he was able to meet a strange person."

Xiao Zhen said frankly that although he almost died in the mountains this time, it seems that it is very worthwhile now.

"Oh?"

"Who the hell is the strange man?"

Xiao Mu asked with a little curiosity. She knows her son very well, Xiao Zhen has always regarded himself very highly, and it is not easy to get him to treat people who praise him differently.

"I wonder if the mother has heard a rumor before?"

"Mubai in the south, moonset in the north."

Xiao Zhen did not continue to sell Guanzi, and said it to her bluntly.

"One of the two, can you settle the world?"

Xiao Mu took over the conversation and said to him first. Thinking about it, she has heard such rumors a little.

"Yes, exactly."

"Previously, my son had always scoffed at such rumors."

"I think the world is exaggerating."

"It wasn't until I actually saw it that I realized that the rumors were true."

Xiao Zhen said with some emotion. Until this time, the dashing figure in black in the snow still echoed in his mind, bringing him a full shock.

"The one who saved you, could it be?"

When Xiao Mu heard this, she asked him curiously.

"Yes, exactly."

Xiao Zhen nodded lightly and replied to her.

"Mother, now is the time for the Xiao family to employ people."

"If you can get this person's help, then the Xiao family's hegemony will be just around the corner."

"This one person is better than thousands of troops."

Xiao Zhen looked at his mother and told him what he was going to do.

"Are you sure?"

Hearing this, Xiao Mu nodded slightly. For Xiao Zhen to have such an idea, she did not refuse.

"My son doesn't know, but I can give it a try."

"If you don't succeed once, then twice, and if you don't succeed twice, then three times."

"As long as you are sincere, as long as the conditions are generous, don't worry if he doesn't agree."

Xiao Zhen's face showed a little firmness and said to her.

"Hmm."

"Then it's okay to try."

"By the way, your sister has sent someone back to deliver a message and has already set a marriage for you."

Xiao Mu suddenly changed the topic and said to him.

"Marriage?"

"My sister didn't consult with me before?"

"Who is she who she has set?"

When Xiao Zhen heard this, he smiled bitterly and was speechless. In the entire Xiao family, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is only afraid of her sister.

It is the queen of the Northern Yan Dynasty, the person who is the mother of the world, Xiao Yan.

"The eldest princess of Great Qi, Su Qing."

Shengjing Imperial Palace, according to the layout of the building, can be roughly divided into three parts, namely East Road, Middle Road, and West Road.

The layout of the east road is where the harem concubines lived, as well as where the imperial garden was located.

The layout of the middle road, the Great Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion, is the place where the Son of Heaven holds various ceremonies and the office of a group of civil and military officials.

The layout of the west road, a place to read books and watch plays, and to store the annals of books.

Lintoe Palace, located on the west side of Qingning Palace, the imperial palace of Shengjing, is also known as the West Palace.

This is where Xiao Yan, the queen of the dynasty, lives.

"Queen Qi, the saint coughs up blood."

The personal eunuch who served the Son of Heaven hurriedly came and reported to her.

"I see."

"You go down first."

Xiao Yan's face was expressionless, and he said lightly.

"The minions are gone."

When the eunuch heard this, he saluted respectfully, and then slowly withdrew.

*

Qingning Palace, is the middle palace in the fourth courtyard on the central axis of the inner palace, one is four compartments and five bedrooms, is located in the northernmost part of the high platform courtyard, sits in the north and faces south.

This is the dormitory where the son of heaven of Beiyan lives today.

The young Beiyan Tianzi was already skinny at this time, and his face was not bloody. He could only lie on top of the collapse and survive.

"I've seen the Queen Mother."

Seeing Xiao Yan walk in, a group of concubines and all the palace maids and eunuchs inside hurriedly bowed down to her.

"Excuse me."

Xiao Yan waved his hand lightly, looking full of momentum. Her gaze looked towards the Son of Heaven above the Fall.

At the same time, the eyes of the Son of Heaven were also looking at her.

"Let's all go down first."

Xiao Yan opened his mouth lightly and instructed everyone inside.

"Yes."

Everyone did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly saluted and retired.

Everyone knows in their hearts that the Son of Heaven is dying.

The power of the queen will be even stronger.

"The concubine has seen the saint."

Xiao Yan walked to the front of the collapse, sat down directly beside him, and said very casually.

"Huh."

"Now, are you proud?"

The Son of Heaven asked her, and there was no slightness in his eyes.

"Why did the Holy One say that?"

Xiao Yan's face was a little dazed, and he asked very strangely.

"At this moment, you still have to pretend?"

"I and you, after all, are husband and wife."

"How can I not know anything about the medicine you changed?"

"Ahem, ahem."

The Son of Heaven coughed and opened his mouth to her.

"Yes, it was indeed done by the concubine."

"But why do you drink the poison when you know it?"

Xiao Yan was puzzled and asked him. In her heart, she originally thought that the matter of changing the dressing was already very obscure.

"What is the difference between drinking and not drinking?"

"But sooner or later, the ending is hard to change."

"Your Xiao family has already become the uncrowned king of Northern Yan."

"The wolf's ambition is known to passers-by."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Beiyan would actually die at my hands."

"Under the Nine Springs, I have no face to face the ancestors and ancestors."

Although the Son of Heaven's eyes were weeping, he was a little calm.

"Beiyan will not die."

When Xiao Yan heard this, he corrected what the Son of Heaven said just now.

"Indeed, Beiyan will not die."

"It's only eight hundred years old, the Zhao family."

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven nodded slightly.

"Have you ever had any sincerity towards me?"

Although he knew that this question should not be asked, the Son of Heaven still did not hold back.

"Nope."

Two simple words, the answer is clean and clear.

"Huh."

"I see."

"Let's draw up an edict."

The Son of Heaven was not disappointed at all, and he seemed to have expected it in his heart.

Is she to blame?

Not at all.

*

The next day, the Emperor of Beiyan died.

He was succeeded by a three-year-old son.

Empress Xiao Yan was promoted to the queen mother, and the curtain was lowered to listen to the government.

Xiao Shixiong, the king of the south, was regent and handled state affairs in place of the Son of Heaven.

From today onwards, Beiyan's surname is Xiao.
