Chapter 117: Challenge
Xiao Wangfu
Xiao Junluo was holding the letter paper and reading it carefully, he had read it more than a dozen times, and every time he read it, the thoughts and regrets in his heart were one more point.
Why didn't he see this letter at that time, only one step away, once he was only one step away from her, where was that person now?
"Lord Wang, don't be too anxious, Miss Xia is auspicious, she will definitely be fine." Uncle Zhong also looked nervous, and it was false to say that he was not in a hurry. Even he is not at ease, let alone the prince?
"I heard from the dark guard that Miss Xia encountered two groups of assassins on the road, and the dark guard helped her entangle one group, but she was caught by the other group. Fortunately, Xu Yang, the head catcher of Ying Tianfu, arrived later and rescued the person. So Miss Xia should be safe now, you don't have to worry too much. ”
A cyan figure flashed in quickly, knelt on one knee, and spoke respectfully, "Lord Wang, we found Mobei, the young master of Una has indeed gone back, I heard that he also brought a woman, listening to their description, it should be Miss Xia." ”
Uncle Zhong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and recited Amitabha.
"If this king wants it, he must find it out for me." Unless he was sure it was her, he still couldn't feel at ease.
"Yes, my subordinates will check." Tsing Yi got up and turned away.
"Lord, the emperor has been buried, what should I do next?" Today's situation is undecided, and the people of the world are panicking. If it weren't for this, the prince would have left to find Miss Xia a long time ago, in fact, the prince's heart has been roasting on the fire.
Thinking of this, Xiao Junluo also had a headache, although he had military power in his hands, but the regent had official power in his hands. And he has opened up his relationship in the court for so many years, and now that the emperor is dead, the courtiers will naturally fall to him.
He has been fighting abroad for all these years and rarely returns to the court. is indeed inferior to him in terms of personal relationships. But if he fights hard, he believes he won't lose to the regent. It's just that this will inevitably lead to a bloody battle. And he has no interest in the throne. Although the people on his side have always encouraged him to support his own army, even if the dynasty changes and the country changes his surname, they are not willing to let the regent ascend the throne.
sighed, "Now the court is like a plate of scattered sand, each for its own master, so if it goes on for a long time, it will not only unsettle the court, but also may cause turmoil in the country." The only compromise now is to let the eighth princess ascend the throne. ”
"The Empress?" Uncle Zhong's eyes widened in astonishment.
In fact, Uncle Zhong is not only a housekeeper, but also Xiao Junluo's right-hand man. After his father died, he was willing to quit the military and become an ordinary family member to protect the family business for the prince. Xiao Junluo thought of him as brave and loyal, and he had taught him kung fu before, so he made him the manager. All the big and small affairs of the palace were handed over to him, including those secret guards.
It is really helpless to make such a decision, not to mention that the eighth princess can be said to be useless except for the royal blood. That is, there is no love and no wise mind.
If it were her, maybe it would be a different story. With her loving heart, she will surely be able to bring good to the people. It's just that he doesn't want her to get involved because he knows she doesn't like the feeling of being tied up.
"Tiansheng Kingdom has not been without an empress ascending the throne before, and the most important thing is that she is the only suitable person."
Uncle Zhong's face was full of worry, "Tiansheng did have a female emperor ascend the throne, but Emperor Zhenjing is the only blood of the ancestor emperor. Moreover, Emperor Zhenjing has always been cultivated as a future prince, and he does not have to be inferior to men in terms of civil governance and martial arts. After ascending the throne, he was diligent in government and loved the people, and made many meritorious achievements, which were praised by later generations. But the eighth princess ......"
His worries were the same as those of the prince, and they all felt that the eighth princess was too weak to be suitable for the throne.
"Take it one step at a time, maybe sit in that position, and slowly get used to it. After all, no one is born to be the emperor's material. ”
"Yes, there is no more suitable candidate now, at least better than the regent to be the throne."
Cining Palace.
"What? Do you mean to enthrone the Tilting Phoenix? ”
It seems that there is more than one person who has such thoughts, and the Queen Mother is looking at the regent opposite with a surprised face. What he just mentioned was letting Tianfeng sit on the throne, would it be a bit unruly.
The regent did have an old god's expression, "Is it difficult for you to have a more suitable candidate?" It is said that this throne should be inherited by this king. But this king doesn't want to be said that he has bad intentions and wolf ambitions. This king wanted to support the new monarch wholeheartedly, but he didn't expect the emperor to die young, and now the eighth princess can only ascend the throne. "If it weren't for the inopportune timing, he was on the cusp again, thinking that he would really give the throne to that girl? But giving it to her is like being in her own hands, anyway, the girl doesn't understand anything, and she doesn't rely on him for everything.
mentioned the death of the emperor, and the queen mother couldn't help but wet her eyes again. It was not undoubted about the regent's thoughts, and the emperor said that he wanted her to stand on his side, and soon something happened. But she had no evidence and did not dare to offend the regent, and now she could only obey him. King Xiao also mentioned to her the matter of letting the eighth princess ascend the throne, and now it is indeed the only way. After all, she can't let outsiders take away the throne of the first emperor, even if it is the regent of his own brother.
Wiping the tears from his eyes, "The mourning family is a woman's family, and she doesn't understand anything." Unexpectedly, I experienced the pain of losing my husband at a young age, and now I am experiencing the pain of losing my child, and I am already physically and mentally exhausted. This matter will be discussed by the regent and a few humerus ministers, right? ”
"Okay, you discuss it with the eighth princess, and I will mention this matter in the court tomorrow. The emperor has just died, and the new emperor must purify the Buddha for a month before he can ascend the throne. ”
The Queen Mother nodded, her face obviously haggard. In any case, the emperor is her biological son, and it is the only hope she will rely on in the future. Now that he's gone, what will she do in the future? How to gain a foothold in the harem.
Seeing her sad expression, Baili Crane not only felt compassion. Get up and walk gently behind her, stop her shoulder, and let her lean on top of her.
"Don't be too upset, even though they're gone, isn't there still me? As I said, I will not leave you no matter what the future holds. ”
The Queen Mother's body was slightly stunned, and she dodged away from his arms, her expression was a little unnatural, "Lord Wang, we are all old, don't mention those old things." The mourning family now only wants to protect the emperor's Wandai country, and does not want to think about anything else. ”
Baili He's gaze suddenly sank, and he was very unhappy with the Queen Mother's evasion of him.
"Are you going to draw a line with me now? Don't you know that we've been completely connected since what happened 10 years ago? This king doesn't like to be used, and he doesn't want to be a chess piece that is used and lost. ”
With a tight heart, Zhu Yujuan looked at the man next to her in horror. His toughness and ambition often unsettled her, and it was even more unsettling at the moment.
"What do you want?" Now that she is an orphan and widow, she is no match for him at all. What could she do if he was going to turn his face?
Suddenly, he laughed loudly, and he was not afraid of being heard by people outside, so he said unscrupulously: "Don't worry, if I want this throne, no one can stop it."
King. You also have to remember that everything this king does is because of you, and if you dare to betray this king, then don't blame this king for turning his face and being ruthless. ”
Her face turned pale, the Queen Mother clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her long nails sank into the flesh, and hatred rose in her eyes. Just because of this man, her fate was completely changed, and she was forced to get to where she is today step by step.
Closing her eyes fiercely, she knew that she had no choice but to be dragged by him step by step. It's really a wrong step, and there's no turning back.
In the atmosphere of Tiansheng Imperial City, where everyone is in danger, the vast Mobei is still vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.
Xia Xiaoxuan, who woke up from a hangover, suddenly found herself in a big tent in Mobei. Surrounded by strange people and things, although it is beautiful and dreamy, but the heart is always empty, and it feels like something is missing.
Xuyang had just come back, and there were many things that he needed to deal with, so she didn't bother him, she was lying on the grass casually, with a piece of grass in her mouth, closing her eyes, leisurely enjoying the warm afternoon sun.
Then a shadow fell, obscuring her pleasure in the sun. When I opened my eyes, I saw a magnified beautiful face. However, beauties are beauties, and it is still very mad to suddenly appear in front of people's eyes like this.
Patting his little heart, he got up and rolled his eyes. "I said this girl, don't you know that people are scary and scared to death? Although I know that I am beautiful and beautiful, I will be embarrassed to be looked at like this by a woman. ”
Now it's time for Secina to roll her eyes, she's lived so big, and she's never seen such a narcissistic person. Although it's a bit of a gesture, it's not that exaggerated, right?
"Are you ashamed? I just want to see what kind of woman is who can hook Brother Xuyang's heart? ”
"So you've seen it, what do you think?" deliberately put on a classic pose, and almost didn't let the other party spit out.
"Not good."
Heh, you're welcome, but she likes it. It's much cuter than the kind of person with a honey-bellied sword.
Secina circled around her again, saying unrelenting words, "That's it, it's not two eyes, not a mouth." "I looked very disdainful of the woman in front of me.
"Feelings, do you think your brother Xuyang likes three heads and six arms?" This girl is really interesting, and she doesn't hide it at all.
"Hmph, do you dare to compare with me?"
Sure enough, it's a child of the prairie, just simply.
"Than what? Why compare? This girl seems to really see her as a rival, but she is not in the mood to play with her.
"We, the sons and daughters of the grassland, are naturally horse racers. If you can win me, I will never pester Brother Xuyang again in the future. If you lose, you can go where you came from and give me back Brother Xuyang. ”
This is quite fair, if Luo Qingwen also used this way to fight with her at the beginning, maybe they could still become friends?
But one thing is very important, if it is true love, it must be a matter of two people, even if she withdraws, she can win the heart of that man.
However, none of this is true in front of her, because Xuyang is not her lover at all, and it makes no sense for Sekina to compete with her.
"Sekina, I think you misunderstood, Xuyang and I are actually not what you think."
"Why are you such a mother-in-law, we Mobei people don't have as many fancy intestines as you Central Plains people, don't talk nonsense with me. In a word, dare to compare? ”
