Zhao Che restrained the smile on his face and said, "Yes, for the current situation, this may be his best choice!" ”

"He's only eight years old, have you already decided on his life? Zhao Che, what else would you do besides constantly sacrificing the people around you to strengthen your position? Murong Xun looked disappointed and said, "You ask yourself, are you doing this for the sake of Zhi'er or just for yourself, for your country, and for your ambitions?" ”

Zhao Che got up, walked towards Murong Xun in a few steps, and said: "Listen to me, this is just an expedient measure, there is still a long time before Zhi'er's wedding, and no one knows what will happen during this period, as long as I am completely in control of everything, I will choose a wife for Zhi'er that he wants, and I will not use you to do anything!" ”

Murong Xun shook his head and took a step back, "As you said, no one will know what will happen in the future!" Zhao Che, even if you keep saying that you care about us, but in your heart, you always regard us as your accessories, and when you use us to get what you want, you take it for granted! ”

Zhao Che hurriedly said: "It's not like this, if it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't do it!" ”

"What if I don't agree to my son's marriage?" Murong Xun didn't want to say more to Zhao Che, so he went straight to the point.

Zhao Che was stunned for a moment, put his hands behind his back, and said, "It's already an ironclad fact!" ”

Murong Xun sighed heavily, and just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden sound from outside the door, "Zhi'er is willing!" ”

The door was pushed open by Xiao Anzi, Zhao Zhi walked in with a serious face, and after saluting Zhao Che, he looked at Murong Xun and said, "Mother, don't say it, Zhi'er herself is willing to do this!" ”

Murong Xun said patiently: "Zhi'er, you are still young, and you don't know that marriage is a lifelong thing!" ”

"Mother, Zhi'er is the prince, behind Zhi'er is not only his own happiness, but also the country and the people of Daxiang!" There was maturity and wisdom beyond his years on his face, "If you sacrifice your beloved son's marriage in exchange for Daxiang's stability, why don't you do it?" ”

Murong Xun was speechless for a while, Zhao Che looked at Zhao Zhi with deep meaning, and his eyes were full of distress.

At this time, I suddenly heard that someone came to report and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Chao Palace has gone to water!" ”

Zhao Che was startled, frowned, looked at Murong Xun and Zhao Zhi and said, "Wait for me here, I'll go back when I go!" As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out.

Murong Xun looked at Zhao Che's back, and rarely could see him so anxious, it seems that something big should have happened, Qin Dynasty Palace, who lives there?

After waiting in the Houyuan Hall for a while, Zhao Zhi kept looking out the window thoughtfully. Murong Xun also noticed that Zhao Zhi didn't seem to be as close to her as before, and the child seemed to have grown up overnight, so he sighed and said with a smile: "Zhi'er, how are you doing lately?" ”

Zhao Zhi came back to his senses, looked at Murong Xun and smiled, "Very good!" As for the mother, the mother's face doesn't look very good! He took a few steps closer, pulled Murong Xun and said: "Mother, Zhi'er knows that her mother cares about Zhi'er, but that day, that day, the day when her father and emperor were assassinated outside the palace, so many corpses, Zhi'er looked at the blood that stained the earth red, Zhi'er was very scared!" Last night, although Zhi'er was well protected and didn't know what happened outside the palace, Zhi'er could feel the seriousness of the situation and the nervousness of everyone around Zhi'er! ”

He looked at Murong Xun, and there was more melancholy in his clear eyes, "Zhi'er has been tortured by illness since she was a child, and she can appreciate the preciousness of a healthy body and life more than ordinary people!" Zhi'er is a man, Zhi'er will not back down, and will bravely shoulder her own responsibilities, so her mother doesn't have to worry about Zhi'er, don't blame her father, he also has a last resort, everything is Zhi'er's own willingness! ”

Murong Xun looked at Zhao Zhi deeply, touched his head and said, "Zhi'er, you are the pride of your mother!" She smiled self-deprecatingly, but now she is not even as good as a child!

Murong Xun and Zhao Zhi stood in front of the window together, looking at the scenery in the courtyard outside the window.

After a while, I heard someone shouting in the room: "Elder Wu, please stay, Your Majesty is not in the Houyuan Hall at the moment!" ”

Wu Shengyuan? Murong Xun said badly in his heart.

I heard the people outside and said, "It's okay, I'll wait here for His Majesty to come back!" ”

Murong Xun still remembers that when he was in Jiayuguan, Huangfu Shaohua used Zhao Lingyan to assassinate Wu Shengyuan, I don't know if he knows the truth of the matter, at this time, if it is to face him, it is definitely not a wise move, and the people of the Elder Pavilion are thoughtful, not like the four major families rely on the royal family, and no one knows what they think about the royal family. didn't make a sound, glanced at Zhao Zhi, I just hope that Zhao Che can come back soon!

"What people!" I only heard Wu Shengyuan shout, and the door of the Houyuan Hall was split open with a palm, and the strong palm wind struck, Murong Xun subconsciously hugged Zhao Zhi behind him, and looked at Wu Shengyuan without fear.

Wu Shengyuan looked at Murong Xun with a gloomy face, and asked sharply, "I don't know what Princess Qin is secretly hiding inside?" What exactly is Princess Qin's intentions? ”

Murong Xun's eyes sank, Wu Shengyuan obviously knew that she was inside before making a move, could it be that Zhao Che's departure was just a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and he did not hesitate to make a move in the Houyuan Palace, could it be that they would get rid of her if the net was broken? "This princess is naturally here after being summoned by His Majesty, but Elder Wu made a move for no reason, and was presumptuous in the palace, do you still have Your Majesty in your eyes, and there is no Queen Mother!"

Wu Shengyuan smiled coldly and said, "I see! It's reckless, princess, please forgive me. I only care about Your Majesty's safety, and I am afraid that there are villains hidden in it that are not good for Your Majesty, so I will personally ask Your Majesty for guilt! Then let's take my leave! ”

What's going on? Murong Xun looked at the back of Wu Shengyuan leaving, but it was useless to relax at all, what were they going to do?

"Send the prince back!" Murong Xun commanded, now that she felt a sense of danger approaching her, it was not a good choice for Zhao Zhi to be with her, "Remember, don't leave the prince's side for half a step!" ”

"Zhi'er retired first!" Zhao Zhi was also frightened, and said to Murong Xun with a white face.

After Zhao Zhi left, Murong Xun bit her lip, and always felt a faint uneasiness in her heart, which made her suddenly feel impetuous, but her heart could no longer calm down.

"Why did it suddenly catch fire!" Zhao Che shouted angrily, "What the hell is going on, what are you all doing to eat!" ”

The guards of the Qin Dynasty Palace immediately knelt down in unison, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, and your subordinates deserve death!" ”

"Go to the criminal room yourself and get a hundred sticks each!" Zhao Che said coldly, "How are the people inside?" ”

"Your Majesty, only a few rooms were burned down, and there were no casualties!"

After Zhao Che nodded, he entered the Qin Dynasty Palace. A palace maid saluted him and then hurriedly retreated.

He looked around the surrounding environment, the decoration in the room was very simple, and there was no way to compare with the magnificence of Fengqi Palace, with a bleak coldness. The gaze was fixed on the woman in the upper seat, she was dressed in a gray shirt, her head was not decorated, and the green silk at one end was loosely held, showing the casualness of the master. In all fairness, her appearance is equal to that of her mother, but her temperament is completely different. The temperament of the queen mother is too tough, and she often carries a kind of anger, which is intimidating. But the woman in front of her has an indisputable easy-going atmosphere, maybe only this kind of woman can win the heart of her father.

"You're frightened!" Zhao Che said lightly.

The woman raised her eyes, revealing an indifference in her eyes like autumn water, "Your Majesty has to worry about this old woman who mourns every day, it's really hard!" ”

Zhao Che smiled faintly, "The seventh brother is now on the battlefield, I just want to protect the safety of the people he cares about, so that the seventh brother has no worries!" ”
