Chapter 15 Human Hardships
When the two came to the palace, the emperor saw Wang Jun like this, and he was still holding a baby in his arms, and he felt bad.
"The royal army? Why does it look like this, but something happened in the palace? ”
Wang Jun said in a panic: "Your Majesty, a large number of black-clothed people have just broken into the palace, and they have brought the county lord at the risk of death, please ask the emperor to save the prince!" ”
The emperor was shocked when he heard this: "Someone is coming, and the army is ordered to go to the palace immediately to rescue the prince and princess." ”
The emperor looked at Si Luo, stepped forward and hugged her, pacing around the palace nervously.
After a long time, the imperial guard returned, and saw that the guard was covered in black ash and his hair was disheveled.
"Your Majesty, Lord He... went. When the humble office arrived, the palace had been engulfed in flames, and when the fire was extinguished, the prince and princess were in one place, and the palace was up and down... No one survived..."
After hearing this, the emperor suddenly sat on the dragon chair and looked at the child in his arms in disbelief.
"Give me a check! Who dares to do such a heinous thing, I will definitely divide his five horses into corpses, crush his bones and scatter ashes. ”
The imperial guard's eyes were slightly red, and his voice trembled slightly: "Subordinates obey orders!" Please also ask the emperor to mourn! ”
The emperor took a deep breath, calmed down and asked Wang Jun, "Can the county lord have a name?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the county lord's name is Si Luo."
"Luo'er, poor child." After speaking, he said to his father-in-law on the side: "Father-in-law Jiang, in three days, a funeral will be held for the prince and princess, and Luo'er will be crowned the emperor tomorrow, so that the prince and princess can be blinded." After speaking, the emperor closed his eyes, but the tears still fell uncontrollably.
"Yes, the emperor is kind, presumably the prince and princess can also feel at ease under the nine springs, the slave will do it, the emperor must not be too sad!"
The emperor sighed and said, "Go!" ”
On the day of the funeral three days later, Si Luo cried nonstop, and several nurses couldn't coax her. Just when everyone didn't know what to do, the queen's voice suddenly appeared behind several people.
"What's the matter, there are so many people, can't even coax a child?"
"See the Queen!"
The queen mother came suddenly, and when she saw Si Luo crying, she was out of breath, and gently picked her up.
"Okay, okay, Luo'er doesn't cry, Aunt Huang is here, don't cry!"
Unexpectedly, the queen stopped crying after picking her up, and smiled sweetly at the queen.
A nurse said: "It's really weird, the minions tried their best to coax the emperor, but I didn't expect the mother to stop crying as soon as she picked her up." ”
The queen looked at Si Luo and smiled, and said seriously: "Either you didn't serve the emperor with your heart, or she has a relationship with this palace, right?" ”
"Emperor Ji smiled when she saw you, I guess I will grow up in the future, and I must be very filial to you."
Although she is a queen, she was poisoned many years ago, and there is no possibility of conceiving a baby. If it weren't for the emperor's love for her, the queen would not have been able to do it.
"This palace will take the emperor away first, and then send it back later."
"Yes."
The rows of spiritual seats in the shrine hall were neatly placed, and the emperor stood silently in front of the spiritual throne without saying a word.
The queen hugged Si Luo and walked slowly to the emperor's side: "See the emperor." ”
The emperor turned around and saw Luo'er in his arms and asked, "Why did the queen bring Luo'er?" ”
The queen faced the spiritual seat of King Chiping in the Divine Throne Hall: "Luo'er is their child, she should come to see off her father." ”
The emperor put his arm around the queen's shoulder and said, "You are still careful, I have been in a mess for the past few days, and I am thinking about the things of my childhood and Lao Qi." Among my father's many princes, I and Lao Qi are the best, in fact, neither of me wants to sit on this throne, the throne is not easy to do, and if I don't pay attention to it, I will lose my life, so I sat up, just to let him feel at ease to be a comfortable prince, but I didn't expect it..."
The queen was sad and comforted him: "Your Majesty, everything is destined by God, we are just mortals, even if the emperor is the Ninety-Five, there are times when he can't help himself, don't blame yourself." ”
Si Luo, who was in the queen's arms, cried, and suddenly, the spiritual position began to tremble, and a strong wind blew outside, and the incense candles swayed. The emperor protected the queen and Si Luo, and after a long while, the wind stopped, everything in the hall returned to normal, and Si Luo stopped crying.
"Why is it so windy all of a sudden?"
The queen looked at Si Luo, and then turned her gaze to the spirit seat of the Blazing King: "Presumably the princess and princess know that Luo'er has come to see them off, come and see her for the last time!" ”
The emperor looked at the spiritual throne of the prince and said solemnly: "Old Seven, I swear here, as long as I reign for one day, I will definitely protect Luo'er." You are in the spirit of heaven, you must bless her to grow up safely, if there is an afterlife, I will still be a brother with you! ”
Sixteen years later, Si Luo has been generous and decent, and his gestures are worthy of the word God. Although he has been favored by the emperor and queen since he was a child, he has never been spoiled.
It's just that she doesn't like to smile since she was a child, and it wasn't until half a year ago that the emperor found out the murderer of King Chiping and avenged her father and mother, and Si Luo gradually became cheerful.
Recently, Si Luo heard that Xiao Guo asked Yu Anguo to marry the emperor, she was troubled by this for many days, although the emperor promised that if she didn't want to, she would not force it, but the matter of peace between the two countries is related to the friendship between the two countries.
Si Luo has been nurtured by the emperor for many years, if she does not agree, if Xiao Guo raises troops to attack Yu Anguo, she will definitely be unwilling. Moreover, the prince of Xiaoguo came to Yu'an Kingdom three days later, and she was very worried.
"What do you want, Emperor? So distracted. Yan'er, the palace maid on the side, asked.
Si Luo smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's just that the sun is too dazzling, and I'm a little sleepy." ”
"Then let's go back, don't burn the emperor again, the queen will be distressed."
"Well, let's go back!" Siloh said softly.
On the official road, a convoy was moving slowly, and there was a man and a woman sitting in the carriage, respectively, Chu Xuan, the righteous daughter adopted by Qixuan, the prince of Xiaoguo, and his uncle.
Chu Xuan leaned on Qi Xuan's shoulder and said, "Prince, do you really want to marry that emperor?" So what do I do? ”
Qi Xuan smiled, grabbed her hand and replied: "Xuan'er, don't worry, when she marries into the prince's mansion, His Royal Highness will accept you as a concubine, and when she finds an opportunity, she will be demoted and crowned as the crown princess." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be a good man, Xuan'er almost lost her life in order to save you, if the prince fails me, Xuan'er would rather die."
Chu Xuan's eyes were dotted with tears, which made Qi Xuan feel pity, Chu Xuan in his eyes was gentle and lovely, and he was his savior, but he didn't know that all this was just Chu Xuan's business plan.
Three days later, the people of Xiaoguo arrived as scheduled, and Chu Xuan was not suitable to show up because he secretly followed, so he settled in the official residence. Qi Xuan went to the palace with the envoys of Xiaoguo.
"Your Majesty, the prince of Xiaoguo has arrived outside the palace." Gonggong Jiang came to pass it on.
The emperor put down the fold in his hand, straightened his posture and said, "Pass." ”
"The prince of Chuanxiao Kingdom is here!" Gonggong Jiang shouted loudly.
The envoys of Qixuan Xiaoguo came to the center of the hall one after another.
"Qixuan, the prince of Xiaoguo, see the emperor."
"The envoys of Xiaoguo are late wishes, see the emperor."
The emperor spoke: "The prince has a tiring journey, is the lord of Xiao Guo okay recently?" ”
Qi Xuan smiled rudely: "The emperor is worried, my father is all right, and asked me to say hello to the emperor on his behalf." ”
The envoy on the side said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this time the prince came to your country, and he also asked to marry the emperor of your country on the order of our lord, I don't know what the emperor plans to do?" ”
"The emperor has been raised by the queen since she was a child, and it was too sudden, and I still need to discuss it with the queen. The crown prince and the envoys may wish to stay in the palace for a while, and when things come to an end, we will discuss them carefully. ”
Qi Xuan and Chi Yuan looked at each other and made a gesture: "Then Qi Xuan will obey the emperor's arrangement, and we will retire first." ”
After the two left, the queen walked out from behind the barrier, and she heard the conversation between the few people just now. She walked around to the emperor and saluted: "Does the emperor really want to marry Luo'er to Xiaoguo?" ”
"Alas! Since the lord of Xiaoguo sent the prince to come, it is inevitable, if he refuses to agree to make peace, I am afraid that there will be another war. ”
The queen lowered her eyes: "The concubine knows that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but Luo'er has been raised by the concubine since she was a child, just like her own daughter, the concubine is really reluctant." ”
When Si Luo came to the outside of the palace, he happened to hear the conversation between the two, and after a moment in his heart, he said: "The courtier is willing to marry Xiaoguo." ”
The emperor and queen looked out of the hall in disbelief, and under the gaze of the two, Si Luo walked into the hall step by step and knelt on the ground.
The emperor opened his mouth and asked, "Luo'er, do you really think so?" ”
"Back to the emperor, Luo'er always wants to marry, it's better to marry more meaningfully, if I cause the two countries to go to war and the people are not happy, then Luo'er is a sinner for the ages."
