The more Xiangxiang walked forward, the fewer and fewer palace maids behind her, and soon she was left alone, and the people who were originally standing beside the emperor gradually retreated.

"Cooking?" The emperor pointed to the apron under Xiangxiang's waist and said with a smile, "I really rarely see someone like you in the palace. ”

"The queen was frightened and wanted to make something delicious to coax her, she was still a child." After Xiangxiang finished speaking, she felt regretful again, she agreed, why did she say so much.

The emperor said, "You can go back and make it for her later, now take a walk with me, let's walk around the lake, and then we will disperse when we come back here." ”

Xiangxiang glanced at the sparkling lake, when she first came with Jingshu, she felt that the lake was as big as the sea, but now she no longer feels that he is vast, to say that the lake has never become less, this garden is still the garden at that time, how is it different.

The emperor didn't wait for Xiangxiang to agree, he walked straight forward, he didn't walk fast, it seemed that Xiangxiang was pregnant. Xiang Xiang thought for a while, gently lifted the hem of his skirt and slowly followed, the emperor heard the footsteps, and even stopped to wait for Xiang Xiang to come to his side, and the two went to the depths of the garden side by side.

Xiangxiang didn't hear the footsteps, knowing that the palace maids and eunuchs didn't follow, she was worried in her heart, but what did the emperor really want to do, just break into the Luo Temple, why bother to come here, he was not afraid that he would miss and push him into the lake?

"Do you know why Pang Jun didn't kill me and let me come back and continue to be the emperor?" The emperor asked.

And Xiangxiang was just thinking, what if the emperor was pushed down and he died, he was suddenly asked, he couldn't help but think that he had been seen through, and after calming down a little, he responded: "Once the emperor has something, if Pang Jun rushes back to Gyeonggi, the royal family will definitely quickly set up a new monarch, and the royal blood will be passed down from generation to generation, and a person with a foreign surname will have to pay the price for subverting the royal family." Moreover, if the royal family also fights and scatters, there are enemies on the border, there is civil strife in the imperial court, and the people of the country really come to the point of survival. ”

The emperor sighed lightly and looked at Xiangxiang with infinite longing: "Song Jingshu can't say such a thing." He added, "You came up with it yourself?" ”

Xiangxiang said very frankly: "It was Qi Hui who said that the emperor would be fine, this is the truth he told me." ”

The emperor's face sank slightly, and he turned his face away and said: "That's why he didn't send someone to assassinate me, but left you here as a hostage, not so much to appease me, but to appease the court and the royal family, even if I am not good, I am still an emperor, as long as I am alive, the capital will not be chaotic." ”

Xiang Xiang was silent, since the emperor understood everything, why did he force Qi Hui to withdraw his troops and sue for peace with the enemy country, he should beat them back to his hometown in one go.

The emperor let out a long sigh and asked, "In the future, what retreat does he plan to give me?" Give me an idle prince to do, or kill me, or exile me? ”

Xiangxiang didn't know, she really didn't know, Qi Hui hadn't discussed with him how to arrange the emperor's stay in the future, and Xiangxiang didn't care about the emperor's life and death, she was always angry, and she would think about Jingshu. At this moment, the emperor asked him about his own results, and Xiangxiang would only think of Jingshu.

The emperor again: "On the night of the first emperor's violent death, he pressed on Concubine Xian in the cold palace, and you heard what he said to her, right?" ”

Xiangxiang heard from Shifeng's mouth that the former prince also came to the cold palace that night, and sure enough, when she heard that sentence, she bowed her head: "I heard it." ”

The emperor thought that Xiangxiang would repeat it orally, and he thought that he would face the humiliation that Xiangxiang gave him, but Xiangxiang didn't mention it, he waited to be accused of being a wild seed, but it didn't. After Xiangxiang answered him, he only walked quietly beside him.

The emperor had to mention it himself and said: "So in your heart, I also feel that I am not worthy of inheriting the throne, but the first emperor can't give birth, and Qi Hui is also ......" He tightened his heart and said with hatred, "He is also a wild seed." ”

Xiangxiang wanted to enjoy the scenery of the lake, but she was worried that the light on the lake would make her dizzy, so she only looked down at the road ahead. She didn't pay much attention to what the emperor said, and even thought about her own affairs, and suddenly heard the word wild seed, so she subconsciously looked up at the emperor.

The emperor had great hatred in his eyes, hated too many people, and he said: "I am no different from him, I am not worthy, and he is also not worthy." ”

Xiangxiang wanted to correct Qi Hui's bloodline, but the words were still swallowed, the couple had already reached a consensus, the bloodline was not worth mentioning at all, whether Qi Hui was or not, it didn't matter, the key was who could be a good emperor, inherit the country, and work for the benefit of the people of the world. At least the one in front of me, can't do it.

The emperor thought that Xiangxiang was bored, how could he have thought that Concubine Xian really gave birth to a son for the first emperor. He sneered, even if Pang Jun had mentioned one or two sentences, he would rather believe the words that Concubine Li shouted before she died, if you can't be born, you can't be born.

Xiangxiang sighed in her heart, seeing that the emperor didn't stop, she didn't stop, she had already walked a short and half distance around the lake, looking forward to returning to the original point, and they dispersed.

"I'm going to give you a canonization ceremony." The emperor said suddenly.

"What should be said, I have already said it, and the letter of resignation I gave to Qi Hui has not yet taken effect." Xiangxiang Road.

"I will continue to be the emperor." Qi Xu finally stopped, straightened his waist between words, his eyes brightened a little, and he said, "You must feel that I have reached the end of the road, yes, in this case, why can't I give it a go, it is the first emperor who canonized me as the crown prince, and I am the most righteous emperor at this time." And I understand better that only by continuing to be the emperor can I continue to have you, Xiangxiang, my affection for you has never changed. ”

Xiang Xiang looked at her indifferently, what should she say at this moment, no wonder she asked him what would happen to him just now, he was not cowardly, but calculating, what would happen to Qi Hui in the future?

The emperor leaned over slightly, leaned in front of Xiangxiang and said: "I will keep my throne, don't worry, I won't kill Qi Hui, when the child in your womb is born, I let him leave here with the child, he likes to protect his family and defend the country, then go and guard the frontier." ”

Xiangxiang looked at him straightly, and the emperor suddenly sneered: "Do you think that I am an idiot and a dream?" Are you still looking forward to him coming and taking you away? No, I want you, I want you to be by my side for the rest of my life. ”

"Your Majesty, I won't be by your side, if that day really comes, if Qi Hui is unable to take me and the child away and fight to the death, I won't stay by your side." Xiangxiang said calmly, just when anger gathered in the emperor's eyes, she said again, "But it doesn't matter who is the emperor in the world, what matters is whether the person who is the emperor can work for the country and the people." Emperor, if you defeat Qi Hui, but if you are still the previous emperor, even if Qi Hui has guarded the frontier all his life and is even killed by you, there will be others who want to overthrow you in the future. ”

The emperor was full of favors and was wiped out for most of it, but Xiangxiang's words were reasonable, in fact, he also understood. He said in a sullen voice: "I didn't want to be a good emperor, it was Pang Jun who covered the sky with one hand, and you also saw it." ”

An incompetent emperor will have arrogant and domineering ministers, and if a court wants to subdue the world, there must be someone to do those things, the first emperor is incompetent, the new monarch is also incompetent, Pang Jun does not do it, and the world will not be chaotic. He should be punished for plotting treason, but some of the things he did for the world cannot be erased.

They continued to walk forward, not slowly, Xiangxiang knew that the emperor was following her steps, she tried to make herself walk steadily, she had never turned the river and the sea in her heart, but she never wanted to show herself in front of the emperor.

"Did you hear that?" In the face of Xiangxiang's indifference, the emperor gradually became impatient.

"I also made it clear, didn't the emperor hear it?" Xiangxiang replied, even though she has been working hard to survive, she has always held the heart of death, what is she afraid of. To tell the truth, it is Xiangxiang, who is flattering when she tells lies, she is the second Song Jingshu.

The emperor had to show his last trump card and said: "If I win, Qi Hui will be guilty of plotting to usurp the throne, but if you can follow me with all your heart, I will not embarrass him." Whether he lives or dies is all up to you, and I have given in, and I will definitely let you give birth to the child. ”

Xiangxiang said: "If I stay with the emperor, it is to save Qi Hui's life, what does the emperor think of such a woman by her side?" There are people around you who treat you wholeheartedly, who do not hesitate to turn themselves into demons and monsters, and even if they are hated and insulted, they greet them with a smile every day. Such a person, the emperor does not cherish it, but he wants to tie a woman with a different heart to his side? Your Majesty, do you really like Xiangxiang? ”

Xiang Xiang suddenly said so many words, the emperor was a little uncomfortable, he frowned and slowly straightened out Xiang Xiang's words, and when he realized what Xiang Xiang was talking about, he looked at her suddenly.

"The emperor is not entangled in my heart, entangled in whether I go or stay, whether the child in my belly can live, and it depends on God's arrangement." Xiangxiang said: "Since you want to win over Qi Hui, then go for it, as for the future, one Xiangxiang is not enough to compare with the world, my own way, I will choose it myself." If the emperor really wins Qi Hui, I also wish the emperor to be a good monarch from now on, to be supported by all the people, and to be able to dominate the world. ”

The emperor was stunned and snorted: "Xiangxiang." ”

Xiangxiang sighed lightly and said, "I'm tired, I really can't walk, Your Majesty, let's go back the same way." She turned around and walked back, she was afraid that the emperor would suddenly reach out and pull her arm, she was afraid that she would struggle, every step was faster than before, and when she realized that there was no one behind her, she did not dare to look back to confirm it. I hope to keep walking like this, to be able to walk to Qi Hui's side, to be able to walk away from this palace.

The emperor wants to fight with Qi Hui to win or lose? At this moment, Xiangxiang's head was a little messy, did he want to put down the safety of the country and fight with Qi Hui alone?
