Chapter 44: The Emperor Named Xiao Chengyin the Crown Prince
On the way home, Shen Ning lay on Xiao Junhe's lap and asked in a low voice. "Your Majesty's people...... Maybe it's a misunderstanding, Junhyuk...... You believe me, I will not hurt you and your mother. ”
Shen Ning was actually afraid that Xiao Junhe wouldn't believe her.
Xiao Junhe rubbed Shen Ning's head. "If Xiao Chengyin's words can make me doubt my wife, then am I too stupid?"
Shen Ning's body stiffened and stuck tears on Xiao Junhe's body. "Why are you so good......"
"Shen Ning, I'm not a good person......" Xiao Junhe's voice was deep and thoughtful.
He is also the kind of person who will stop at all to achieve his ends.
It's just that Shen Ning doesn't know.
"You are, you are my husband." Shen Ning hugged Xiao Junhe and cried for a long time. "I'm sorry...... Xiao Junhe, I'm sorry. ”
Concubine Lian's death, to put it bluntly, she also felt guilty.
In her previous life, she killed Concubine Lian.
This life...... She also has a responsibility. "If it weren't for me going to the palace to make trouble, maybe Concubine Lian wouldn't have been stimulated at all......"
Shen Ning blamed herself.
"Ning'er......" Xiao Junhe rubbed Shen Ning's head meaningfully. The people who can survive in the deep palace where they eat people and don't spit out bones until now are not simple people. ”
For example, Concubine Lian, such as him.
If they are so easily stimulated, they are so easily deceived and taken advantage of.
I'm afraid I'm going to die a long time ago.
Shen Ning looked up at Xiao Junhe in confusion.
"Mother...... It's paving the way for me, and she's walking on her own. Xiao Junhe's voice was a little hoarse, even if he tried to hide it and wanted to make himself look cold, his body was still trembling slightly.
Shen Ning could feel it.
"My father has the intention to pass on the throne to me, but the power of the Qin State has fallen. The Liu family is extremely suspicious, he naturally can't directly make me the prince, what the Liu family wants is a puppet, a puppet that must be able to play in the palm of his hand. Xiao Chengyin does not have a mother concubine, and he is good friends with the Liu family, which is the reason for their consideration. The reason why I am regarded as someone who must be eliminated is because I have the power to fight, I have the ability to fight them, and my mother is safe. ”
Of course, Shen Ning understood what Xiao Junhe meant.
Just shocked...... Concubine Lian, it was actually deliberate.
That past life......
Concubine Lian died, so that the queen could relax her vigilance against Xiao Junhe.
Without a mother concubine, it is difficult to have the help of your own maternal power in the court.
Now Xiao Junhe has been abolished again, obviously...... More and more satisfied the queen and the Liu family.
And Xiao Chengyin, who is too calculating, the queen also sees it in her eyes, whether to choose a person who is shrewd and difficult to control, or to choose a prince like Xiao Junhe, who has wasted his legs and lost his fighting spirit, the queen knows it.
"Xiao Junhe......" Even so, Shen Ning still hugged Xiao Junhe distressedly.
She felt very sorry for Xiao Junhe.
"From now on, you have me." Shen Ning hugged Xiao Junhe tightly.
Xiao Junhe's body stiffened, looked down at Shen Ning, hugged her waist and let her sit on his lap. "Okay."
……
Fengluan Palace.
"Empress Niang, the emperor's body bones are no longer good, Imperial Doctor Feng said...... It won't last long. ”
The queen didn't have much sadness, and asked lightly. "Who did the emperor see today?"
"Your Majesty first met King Jin, and then King Xuan......" the palace maid replied truthfully.
"King Xuan, King Jin." The queen narrowed her eyes. "Now, only the two of them can canonize the crown prince."
"However, the king of Jin is crippled, and the emperor should not give him the throne." The palace maid was puzzled.
"Even you can think of things, if the emperor can't think of it, and the king of Jin will be crowned the crown prince......" The queen was very suspicious.
"If the King of Jin is not crippled, the emperor will inevitably give him the position of crown prince."
The palace maid whispered.
The queen closed her eyes thoughtfully. "Wait quietly."
"Queen Mother! Your Majesty...... Your Majesty can't do it, the concubines and concubines of the palace have already gone. ”
The queen slowly opened her eyes.
She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Over the years, she has lived a life that is worse than death in this deep palace.
She was pregnant with the emperor's child, but she was poisoned......
How could she not know that it was the emperor's acquiescence.
sneered, she was infertile for life, in exchange for her current status, sad, lamentable.
"Did the emperor leave a legacy?" The queen asked.
The big eunuch was very discerning, and hurriedly went to the queen's side and whispered. "Before Your Majesty fell into a coma, he had already written an edict, and it was on that plaque."
The queen laughed. "Then it will be bothering my father-in-law."
The eunuch understood what the queen meant, and quickly nodded.
"Your Majesty, can't hold it?"
"What can I do about this...... We have no heirs, the new emperor ascends the throne, let's ......"
The harem was full of sighs, and all the concubines were lamenting their miserable fate.
Only the queen is the one who really holds the real power in her hands.
……
Looking at the harem concubines kneeling outside the hall, the queen's eyes were indifferent and disdainful, as if she was looking at a group of ants.
They are dependent on the emperor to survive, and when the emperor dies, they are like duckweed, where can they go?
This is their fate.
Lamentable.
"Niangniang......" The eunuch opened the door and let the queen enter the inner hall.
The emperor had already fainted, and the imperial physician said that the possibility of waking up was very small.
The queen walked to the bed and looked at the dying emperor without any pity in her eyes.
"Dead...... It's easy. ”
"...... You see. The great eunuch took out the edict.
The queen opened it and looked at it, her eyes sinking.
The emperor will be on the throne...... It was passed to King Xuan, Xiao Chengyin.
"This palace thinks that King Xuan Xiao Chengyin is scheming, and has no merits, and is not suitable to inherit the unification, what does my father-in-law think?" The queen's voice was cold.
The great eunuch knelt on the ground in horror.
He is a person who has seen the edict, and if the queen does not want to stay, she will definitely kill him. "Niangniang, the slave is a rough man, illiterate, Your Majesty has the heart to praise King Jin...... The minions did not know what was written in the edict. ”
The eunuchs who can be by the emperor's side are all human spirits.
The queen nodded with satisfaction.
Covering up for the time being will not get rid of this old eunuch, as long as he is sensible and smart enough.
Fortunately, the old eunuch was very clever.
"In His Majesty's edict, he remembered the merits of King Jin and named King Jin as the crown prince." The queen said word by word, and threw the edict to the eunuch on the side.
The eunuch understood and went to change.
……
Youdu Fu.
Xiao Junhe leaned on the bed and listened to the lightning and thunder outside the window.
The sky in the imperial capital of the Qin State has changed......
He knew that his father was also going.
Shen Ning lay in Xiao Junhe's arms and fell asleep deeply, her cheeks flushed and her skin pale.
Shen Ning, who was asleep, was very well-behaved and looked soft.
Xiao Junhe pinched Shen Ning's cheek, and his voice was hoarse. "Ning'er...... I have nothing left, so, can't lose you. ”
No matter what Shen Ning wanted to stay by his side, he would not let go.
He would keep her by his side forever.
"Junhyuk......" Shen Ning shouted Xiao Junhe's name in her sleep.
"Kill him...... Kill Xiao Chengyin...... Kill him. Shen Ning seemed to be having a nightmare.
"I'm here." Xiao Junhe kissed Shen Ning's forehead, and his eyes gradually became sharper. "Okay."
If Shen Ning wants to kill, he will definitely kill.
Whatever the reason.
