Soft.

The summer night was breezy, and Chu Zheng, who was lying on the chair in front of the bed, quietly opened his eyes with his arms and neck. Looking away, by the moonlight, seeing that Xi Yao's mother and son were sleeping extremely peacefully, a soft look appeared on his face. After staring for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and tiptoed out.

Chu Zheng swept up and jumped onto the eaves, taking advantage of the white moon and volleying away.

On the wall, a slender figure followed.

After a few ups and downs, Chu Zheng went straight to the palace, came to the gate of the palace, hesitated, flashed behind the huge pillar, and waited for the guards to pass over, he pushed the door and entered.

In the dormitory, the old emperor leaned on the head of the bed, lowered his head, and was half-asleep. Suddenly raised his head, opened his worried eyes, and asked, "What time is it?"

Father-in-law Gu, who was standing on the side of the bed, hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it's the third watch of the ugly time."

The old emperor nodded, coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "My days are counted on my fingers, but this heart is always unsteady." As he spoke, he turned his face and asked, "Did I do the right thing?"

Father-in-law Gu bowed his head respectfully and said, "What Your Majesty did is naturally right."

"Prince..."The old emperor picked the corner of his eyes and said, "Can he compromise?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been filial and will agree." Gu Gonggong smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty has tried it many times and five times, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never minded, so it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is broad-minded and worthy of a great responsibility."

The old emperor squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "In this way, I belong to him for the throne?"

Father-in-law Gu was not as frightened as usual, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty forgot, several princes, including King Lu, are gone, prisoners, crazy." Isn't it only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is filial to His Majesty now? ”

The old emperor was stunned, his face sank, showing faint anger, and then he slowly stretched his frowning brows and was silent.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and the old emperor raised his head, and saw Chu Zheng looking in a hurry, and his face couldn't help but change, and his right hand groped in the futon.

Chu Zheng's eyes suddenly froze, fleeting, stepped forward, and said eagerly: "Father's forgiveness, son-in-law is worried for a while, so he entered the palace in the middle of the night to disturb his father!"

The old emperor grabbed his right hand in the futon and asked quietly, "Why is the prince in a hurry?"

"Father's grace!" Chu Zheng squatted on the side of the bed, shook the old emperor's left hand, and said: "When the retainer woke up, he suddenly worried about his father, he couldn't sleep, and his heart was uneasy, so he had to enter the palace at night to investigate."

The old emperor stared at him for a moment, and his right hand in the futon gradually released his palm.

"Now that my father is safe, my sons are overjoyed, and I can finally rest assured!" Chu Zheng clenched the old emperor's left hand and said with emotion: "Now the only thing that can make it difficult for the sons and daughters to sleep and eat is whether the father's body is healthy?" Because in this world, the son has only one relative, the father and the emperor..."

The old emperor's face quietly changed, and he gradually moved, he stretched out his right hand, stroked the top of Chu Zheng's head, and his eyes were hazy: "It's rare for my son to be filial!" After a pause, he said: "I thought you had figured it out, and I entered the palace to inform..."

"Father, the son has really thought clearly, as long as he can make his father feel at ease, the son should be obedient." Chu Zheng's eyes were dark, but there was a gentle smile on his face: "Everything that the son has is a gift from his father, if the father is willing, even the life of the son can be given, not to mention, the crown princess of the son minister."

The figure on the beam stiffened his back, seemed to be a little angry, and he resisted the idea of rushing down and beating him violently, and lay quietly on the beam of the room.

The old emperor raised his head and laughed when he heard this, and laughed silently. After a while, he said happily: "Okay, then the prince will send the crown princess to the palace tomorrow, so that I can take a look, does the county lord of this day country, my daughter-in-law, have any weight worthy of my jade seal of the country?"

Chu Zheng replied with a dry smile: "Father said that the emperor laughed, the soft world is the credit of the father, who can resist it?" Because of the mercy of his father, he gave his son this great blessing! ”

The old emperor was in a happy mood when he heard this, and laughed, but he was so excited for a while that he coughed violently and couldn't breathe.

Gu Gonggong seemed to think of something, he sighed, and said: "The old slave was confused, and he actually dropped the medicine that Wen was in the imperial dining room..."

"Then, bother Father-in-law Gu to get the medicine." Chu Zheng thoughtfully commanded softly: "If the medicine is bitter and the taste is heavy, add a spoonful of sugar to moisten it, and let my father swallow it well."

"Yes, yes, Your Highness is so hearted, the old slave must obey!" As he spoke, Father-in-law Gu bowed and withdrew.

The old emperor finally stopped coughing, still panting, and when he heard that he was drinking medicine again, he frowned, and said, "Why are you still drinking medicine in the middle of the night?"

Chu Zheng patiently soothed in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, father, the medicine that the ministers will feed later, it is not bitter at all!"

"Really?" The old emperor bowed his head and asked half-believingly: "Isn't the medicine bitter this time?"

"Really, not bitter!" Chu Zheng's affirmative tone, gentle and unfathomable smile.

After a while, Father-in-law Gu came in with a tray, and Chu Zheng got up and took the medicine bowl, and said, "Father-in-law, let me feed my father and drink medicine!"

Father-in-law Gu's eyes flashed, and he said, "Your Highness Lao!" With that, he took the empty tray and stood aside.

Chu Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, put the medicine into the old emperor's mouth one by one, and asked softly from time to time if it was bitter?

The old emperor said, "This medicine is not bitter at all tonight, and it also moistens the mouth with some sweetness!"

The corners of Chu Zheng's mouth raised a touch of coldness, fed the last spoonful, and put the empty medicine bowl on the tray of Father-in-law Gu. got up and said: "There are still some hours before dawn, and the sons will not disturb the rest of their father, and will retire first."

The old emperor, who had just finished drinking the medicine, yawned, only to feel a wave of sleepiness hit, and he could hardly open the corners of his eyes, so he hummed smoothly.

Chu Zheng glanced at Father-in-law Gu, took the tray, and strode away.

Gu Gonggong calmly looked calm, calmly helped the old emperor to lie down on his side, folded the futon, put his hands into his sleeves, straightened his body, and stood by the bed.

About half an hour, the sleeping old emperor suddenly lifted the futon, wanted to open his eyes but was weak, he struggled a few times, kicked his feet hard, then hung his head to the side, and suddenly remained motionless.

Gu Gonggong on the side of the bed watched indifferently, his hands still in his cuffs, and it was not until the old emperor had no breath that he leaned over to cover the futon and put down the curtain.

Seeing this, the people on the beams of the house glimpsed away.

Three days later, the new emperor of Rouran ascended the throne and was named Emperor Huan.

On the day of Emperor Huan's accession to the throne, and the grand ceremony after the sealing, the lord of Wenyin County of the day country was the head of the harem, and he was given the queen of grace.

The night is low and the stars are shining.

Emperor Huan took off a splendid dress, changed into civilian clothes, came out of the imperial study in the front hall, and went straight to the harem.

There were two rows of maids standing at the gate of the palace, and when they saw Emperor Huan, they bowed down and saluted.

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Huan sent away a group of maids, and was about to raise his feet and stride, when a figure rushed by, blocking his way.

The four looked at each other, one frowning, and the other burning with rage.

"What, angry?" Emperor Huan smiled slightly, and said: "There is no reason for you to be angry, I came to the harem and slept with my queen, are you also jealous?"

"Why?" Feng Xuanjing asked in a cold voice: "He has only a few days left, why do you want to start?" Is this an extra move? Or were you ruthless and usurped the throne by killing your father? ”

Emperor Huan was stunned, then smiled bitterly: "You actually follow me?"

"Otherwise, how would I know your viciousness!" Feng Xuanjing's eyes were cold.

Emperor Huan lowered his face, looked at him fixedly, and said slowly: "The reason why I am vicious is because he moved Xi Yao's thoughts..."

Feng Xuanjing then remembered the conversation that night, pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "Is it you who use Xi Yao as a bargaining chip and want to exchange the jade seal of the palm country with him?"

"This is his evil intention, he wants to detain Xi Yao in his hands, and then hand over the real jade seal of the country to me." Emperor Huan's deep eyes seemed to have endless resentment.

Feng Xuanjing's mind came to mind the silk brocade box that had been abandoned in the secret passage.

"After so many years, my hatred for him has been surging, and I can't bear it anymore." Emperor Huan's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "From my mother to my mother, his methods are brutal and cold-blooded..."

As if to open the floodgates of memory, Emperor Huan's calm face twitched, and he sighed for a moment: "The concubines of the harem who reproduce heirs, a cup of poisonous wine or give silk, and hand over the young prince to the childless concubines to raise, so that the mother can be prevented from being expensive by her son, and the son is proud of her mother."

Feng Xuanjing's gaze froze, and gradually eased.

"Back then, he gave Bai Aya and forced his mother to do it herself, just because he gave birth to me, the prince. Later, he cut off the life of the queen mother with a glass of poisonous wine, just because the queen mother planned for me to win the position of prince. "The corners of Emperor Huan's eyes were filled with mist, and the dust and past that had been closed for many years came flooding in." I thought I had a little mercy on him and served him to drive west, but he shouldn't have stretched out his poisonous hand to Xi Yao and cut off the last bit of affection I had for him. ”

Feng Xuanjing moved his lips, he was speechless for a while, and for a long time, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, sighed and turned around.

Emperor Huan looked at his back with a side face, his eyes were quiet, he knew that it would be difficult for Feng Xuanjing to make up his mind to let go and hand over Xi Yao to him, but tonight he would get twice the result with half the effort.

Emperor Huan stared for a long time, and finally stepped forward, pushed open the palace door and stepped in.

Xi Yao sat on the bed, the whole bedroom was empty, and she was caught off guard by today's surprise post-closure ceremony. I thought it was just the new emperor ascending the throne, but I didn't expect her to be a glorious person with him!

One day of the ceremony, Xi Yao was exhausted, but her heart was hanging and she was worried.

Hearing the sound, she suddenly raised her eyes and crashed into his eyes full of tenderness.

Xi Yao's heart was shocked, avoiding his fiery gaze, and bowing her head worriedly.

Emperor Huan approached her and reached out to carefully remove Guanxia, for fear of pulling her hair and hurting her.

Xi Yao's heart fluttered, and he took off the crown for her and combed her long hair just like on the night of the wedding.

When Xi Yao came back to her senses, the colorful clothes on her body had been faded by him.

Xi Yao was startled and found that the two of them were already dressed alone, so she hurriedly turned her head away, not daring to look at him.

Emperor Huan stroked her waist with one hand and gently pinched her chin with the other.

Xi Yao was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out, and she blurted out helplessly: "What about Hao'er?"

"Don't worry, Mama is taking care of you, and Xuanjing is also there." Emperor Huan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Tonight, your heart can only have me..."

His words rang in her ears, but they hit her heart.

"From now on, your life is not only Hao'er, but also me." Emperor Huan lowered his head and moved to her lips and whispered softly: "Have you remembered?" My Queen! ”

Before Xi Yao could react, he kissed the lip flap and fell on the bed. The loud and pure voice sounded in her ears: "I will join hands with Empress Wan to guard the Rouran country..."

Xi Yao's trance-like thoughts became clear at this time, it turned out that the title he gave her was Queen Wan!
