Chapter 235: Choice

Imperial.

Ji Zisheng's thin lips pursed lightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a pair of slightly chubby hands dragged his chin, falling into a state of contemplation.

Chu Xiaoxiang was not in the mood originally, but Ji Zisheng's enthusiastic and extremely serious look when she spoke made her not bear to refuse, but continued to postpone the topic.

"Okay, let's talk about it!" Chu Xiaoxiang said and looked at Ji Zisheng again.

Ji Zisheng pursed the corners of his lips, as if he was reminiscing, and said slowly: "Aunt Huang, there may be another reason for my father's death.

The last time I saw my father before he died, I heard him coughing in his palace. It's just that I didn't expect him to die......"

"Oh?" Chu Xiaoxiang listened to Ji Zisheng's words, his eyes lit up slightly, and soon dimmed again, and nodded with some cooperation.

Seeing Chu Xiaoxiang nodding, Ji Zisheng suddenly remembered something, and said: "At that time, I heard the imperial grandmother in the palace as if she was talking to the prime minister, but I was in the imperial garden that day, and I was too far away to hear it clearly......

That day, I was hiding in the palace with Aunt Yun, but when I accidentally passed by the Imperial Garden, I met the imperial grandmother and the prime minister together, and they seemed to have a good relationship. There were also some things about my father that I didn't understand......

I know, maybe no one will believe me when I say this now, everyone will only treat me as a child, unlike you, Aunt Huang, who is really good to me......"

Ji Zisheng wrinkled his eyebrows and said, his face showing an unprecedented melancholy.

How do you know, Chu Xiaoxiang listened to his words, suddenly took his hand and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, you saw the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister together?" These things were before your father died? Are you sure, read that right? ”

Ji Zisheng blinked his eyes lightly and nodded solemnly: "Aunt Huang, what's wrong?" ”

For some reason, when he looked at Chu Xiaoxiang, Chu Xiaoxiang's face turned red, and even when he spoke, his voice trembled a little, and such a big reaction surprised him.

Chu Xiaoxiang didn't have time to say more, but said to Ji Zisheng: "Your Majesty, you have seen that when your father and emperor were still alive, the prime minister and the queen mother were already together. According to the practice of Ji Guo, the harem cannot be in power......"

After looking around, she said to Ji Zisheng: "Your Majesty, don't tell anyone about this matter first, do you know?" ”

Although Ji Zisheng is not very old, he has received the highest education in the palace since he was a child, and he has inherited the advantages of his parents since he was a child - not only beautiful, but also top smart.

"Aunt Huang, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I won't ......."

Ji Zisheng pursed his lips lightly, nodded and said.

Chu Xiaoxiang raised his hand and touched his innocent little face full of cuteness: "That's good, Your Majesty." By the way, it's not too early, otherwise we'd better go back to the palace first, right? ”

As soon as Chu Xiaoxiang finished speaking, a slight look of surprise appeared on Ji Zisheng's face: "Aunt Huang, this is going back?" ”

Chu Xiaoxiang touched Ji Zisheng, his implication was obvious, he was still young and wanted to play for a while.

"Aunt Huang still has some things, but Your Majesty can rest assured, when Dye Ge is done, I will come to the palace to visit you soon......"

"Okay then," Ji Zisheng was a little reluctant, but suddenly remembered something, and put a smile on Ji Range's face.

Yun Niang happened to hurry over from not far away and said to Ji Zisheng: "Your Majesty, you should go back and copy it, the Queen Mother asked me to come here to call you." ”

Ji Zisheng didn't say anything more, turned around and went back with Yun Niang, but just after walking a few steps, he didn't forget to turn around, and looked at Chu Xiaoxiang with a reluctant face.

Chu Xiaoxiang stood in place and waved his hand at Ji Zisheng.

Under the golden afterglow, the entire floor of the palace was gilded with a hint of gold.

Looking at the petite figure in front of him who was being pulled by Yun Niang and getting farther and farther away from him, Chu Xiaoxiang was a little stunned.

If what the little emperor said is true, and the queen mother and the prime minister have been colluding together for a long time, then today's forced marriage of Helian Chen is probably not just as simple as forced marriage.

Chu Xiaoxiang felt that there were two reasons: first, the horse was really appreciated by the Queen Mother; However, Chu Xiaoxiang felt that there was one more important point, Ying Ning was just a pawn planted by the Queen Mother in the princess's mansion.

The real intention is that the queen mother will strengthen the vigilance of the princess's mansion under the pretense of marrying the daughter of the prime minister.

It's really unpredictable!

Although the Queen Mother gave her the title of "Princess Gulun", the supreme glory of being watched and admired by all the courts.

But only she, Chu Xiaoxiang, knows that the so-called Princess Gulun is just an empty name.

But that's okay, since people have already thought about it, she can even more calculate!

Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoxiang quickened his pace and rushed towards the direction of the prison where Helian Chen was guarding.

The vigilance had already been strengthened there, and when Chu Xiaoxiang just walked over, a group of guards immediately appeared in front of him, in the dark sky, under the firelight on both sides, blocking Chu Xiaoxiang's way.

"I'm sorry, princess. The Queen Mother has an order, and the horse has committed a capital crime, and no one can visit it! ”

As the guards were talking, Chu Xiaoxiang's lips flashed with a hint of displeasure, she raised the token in the palace in her hand, and said to the guards: "Can't go to visit?" But the princess was ordered by the Queen Mother today to persuade the concubine, could it be that you want to resist the decree? ”

"Resist?" The guards guarding Helian Chen, hearing what Chu Xiaoxiang said, looked at each other, and learned that this matter was not trivial, and they happened to see the token in Chu Xiaoxiang's hand again, which happened to be a token of the queen mother in the palace.

After hesitating for a while, the guards withdrew their weapons that were blocking Chu Xiaoxiang, and retreated to the side one after another, automatically dodging a path.

Chu Xiaoxiang followed the path that was given way by the palace guards, and was about to go to the heavenly prison, thinking for a while that she was about to see the person in her dream, she unconsciously quickened her breathing. Even the pace has quickened a lot.

When he came to the prison, a bright light seemed to appear in front of Helian Chen's eyes, and he was a little unable to open his eyes, and he was stretching out his arm to subconsciously block the direct light, at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly walked to him.

"Horse ......" In the dark, Chu Xiaoxiang just opened his mouth and called Helianchen's name, and Helianchen was slightly stunned for a moment.

"Princess?" Helian Chen's voice was low for a while, he was a little speechless when he choked up, and he stretched out his hand to touch her.

Why, he was blocked by the thick fence in front of him.

Chu Xiaoxiang nodded and said to Helian Chen, "Donkey, I'm here to rescue you." The Queen Mother said that as long as you promised her to marry the daughter of the prime minister, she would release you......"

"Princess, why do you say that?" As Chu Xiaoxiang was speaking, her words were interrupted by Helian Chen, and a bitter smile appeared on her reluctant lips.

Lian Chen really didn't expect that the princess would stop her, or at least she should be silent.

Who knows, princess, you would react like this? Don't you tell Lian Chen, so soon the princess was bought by the Queen Mother, and she wanted to abandon Lian Chen and settle down as your princess? Or are you just scared? ”

Helian Chen said, his deep eyes narrowed slightly into a straight line, and he looked extremely desperate.

"Please don't say this again in the future," Helian Chen's face suddenly became serious, not at all like a joke, "Lian Chen's heart was given to the princess a long time ago, and there is no room for anyone else."

If the princess blindly insists on letting Lian Chen marry another woman. Lian Chen, I'd rather die......"

After Helian Chen finished speaking, he squeezed out a word with difficulty between his lips and teeth.

It was as if he was making a difficult decision, but his eyes flashed with determination and desperation.

Such Helian Chen, and Helian Chen, who has always been gentle to him, are decisively judged as two.

Chu Xiaoxiang was a little stunned, and said to Helian Chen: "Donkey, I know that this makes you very embarrassed. But don't you ...... If you don't, do you know that you might actually die? ”

Although Chu Xiaoxiang said subconsciously, Helian Chen was still unmoved.

Helpless, she had no choice but to shake her head: "Okay then, colt." Have you ever thought that if you weren't there, Dye Ge would become a widow? Do you really want to do such a thing, the relatives and the enemies are happy? ”

"Princess?" Helian Chen snorted coldly, looking at Chu Xiaoxiang with some incredulity.

Who knows, Chu Xiaoxiang didn't look at him again, which made Helian Chen's heart inexplicably a little frustrated.

"I'm sorry, princess...... I didn't mean to let you do this, but Lian Chen really can't think of any other way, Lian Chen really ......"

Helian Chen was about to continue, and at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly took out a dark brown pill from his pocket.

"Pony, if you really want to die, take this medicine. Otherwise, you can accept the Queen Mother's suggestion with peace of mind and marry Ying Ning as his wife! ”

Chu Xiaoxiang said, turned around and was about to leave here, who knows, Helian Chen glanced at Chu Xiaoxiang, although he didn't know what kind of medicine Chu Xiaoxiang, who was so smart and peerless, was selling in the gourd this time.

However, seeing that she was about to leave in a hurry when she turned around like this, Helian Chen suddenly shook her head: "Princess, I think this may be the last time Lian Chen and you will meet." Can you ask you a question before you die, do you ever love Lian Chen? ”

Helian Chen's words made Chu Xiaoxiang slightly stunned, and after a long time, she blinked her eyes and said, "Okay, donkey, let me tell you, love or not depends on you." And the Queen Mother, the reason why I agreed was just that I didn't want to see you die. ”

"I really don't want to lose you......" Chu Xiaoxiang said, a sad look on his face.

Helian Chen's face was silent, his deep eyes looked at Chu Xiaoxiang, and he shook his head at Chu Xiaoxiang with a slight squint for a long time, and said, "Princess, do you know, I've known you for so long, every time you don't tell the truth, you always blink." ”

Chu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned, knowing that Helian Chen still had resentment towards himself in his heart, and even a trace of despair.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Chu Xiaoxiang had to say, "Donkey, I'm sorry." However, no one can replace your decision in this matter except you......"

"If that's the case, then allow me to think about it," Helian Chen was saying, his face silent, making Chu Xiaoxiang take a deep breath.
