Chapter 45: The Emperor Dies

The sky was overcast, and the rain was falling.

Xiao Junhe didn't sleep all night, he knew that the palace was ...... Something went wrong.

"General, Your Majesty...... went. ”

The dark guard left, and Xiao Junhe slowly closed his eyes, his eyes burning.

But there were no tears.

Born in the royal family, he was already ruthless, whether it was fatherly love or mother's love, it was mixed with too much caution.

In that palace, he shared his father's love with others, and he was only one of the emperor's many princes.

In order to protect him, his mother had to be careful, cautious and cautious when he was very young.

In this life, they have all gone too hard.

The so-called emperor, the so-called throne.

Just a joke.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Three death knells.

The palace has just sent away Concubine Lian, and now, everyone knows that it is the emperor who is leaving.

Shen Ning was awakened by the sound of the bell, sat up suddenly, and subconsciously went to find Xiao Junhe's figure.

He sat in a wheelchair and looked lonely at the rain outside the window.

Shen Ning got up and got out of bed and walked over.

Hugging Xiao Junhe from behind, Shen Ning didn't say anything.

Just a quiet hug.

She had nightmares.

I dreamed of my past life again.

I dreamed that I regretted my marriage and killed Concubine Lian.

I dreamed that the emperor died, and the throne fell into the hands of Xiao Chengyin.

Dream About the Emperor...... The person written in the edict was Xiao Junhe, but it was changed to Xiao Chengyin.

I dreamed that the queen began to set out to get rid of the Shen family.

I dreamed that she was being held in a torture cell and tortured.

Whether in the past life or in this life, the person Shen Ning is most sorry for is Xiao Junhe.

"Your Majesty......" Shen Ning's voice was hoarse.

"My father died...... The princes are going to enter the palace. Xiao Junhe patted the back of Shen Ning's hand.

Success or failure, in one fell swoop.

Shen Ning was also nervous, and her palms were a little sweaty.

They worked step by step, and did not hesitate to scrap Xiao Junhe's leg, just for today's ......

For the sake of the Liu family after the emperor left, the empress chose who to put on the throne.

Who is the best puppet candidate in the queen's heart.

"Don't be afraid, even if the queen chooses Xiao Chengyin, I have a way out to take you away." Xiao Junhe reassured Shen Ning.

If the empress chooses Xiao Chengyin, he will take Shen Ning and the Shen family to leave Kyoto overnight.

He's already arranged.

"Xiao Junhe......" Shen Ning hugged Xiao Junhe tightly, and her voice was hoarse. I will...... I'll always be by your side, unless one day, you don't want me anymore. ”

In her previous life, if the person she chose from the beginning was Xiao Junhe, she would not have ...... It ended up like that.

Xiao Junhe rubbed Shen Ning's head, how could he not want her.

He'll only ...... By all means, keep her by your side.

……

Palace.

The emperor died, and all the officials of the Qin State, all the princes and princesses, and the harem concubines all knelt outside the main hall.

The rain was so dense that everyone knelt on the ground, and no one dared to gasp loudly.

The whole palace was silent and desolate.

It's that deathly silence.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, every time it comes to this kind of change of rank, it is the most turbulent time for the country, the court and even the border pass.

The eldest prince died early, and Xiao Junhe, as the second prince, was at the forefront.

Because his legs were disabled, His Majesty would not allow him to bow down while he was there.

The third prince, Xiao Jingche, knelt on the left side of Xiao Junhe, and Xiao Chengyin knelt on the side of the third prince.

Because the third prince is idle and likes to have fun, he is the only prince among several princes who has not been crowned king.

It is precisely because of this that he escaped in his previous life and was not killed by Xiao Chengyin.

Xiao Chengyin's side is the fifth prince who has only turned ten years old.

The fifth prince is young, but he is close to Xiao Junhe.

Shen Ning still remembered that in his previous life, Xiao Chengyin ascended the throne, and Xiao Junhe left Kyoto overnight, so he had time to take the five princes with him in the future.

The Five Princes...... A child who was only ten years old was brutally murdered by him.

Behind Xiao Junhe is the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom.

The eldest princess is one year older than the eldest prince, and she is twenty-three this year, and when she was fifteen years old, she was sent to a neighboring country and relatives, and after her husband's death, she returned to Qin with her young son.

On the side of the eldest princess, it was the second princess Xiao Jingyun.

Shen Ning has a deep impression of her, she is the same age as her, she has an indifferent temperament, rarely speaks, and is not close to anyone.

In his previous life, after Xiao Chengyin became the emperor, he married her to the land of barbarians to appease the barbarians.

Those barbarians are cruel by nature, and women are only playthings and reproductive tools for them.

When Shen Ning was not dead, he heard news that the second princess had died in the barbarians.

She was still in her prime, and she was tossed to death after only half a year of going to the barbarians.

The third princess, Xiao Yun'er, is an arrogant and domineering person, and her mother is a member of the Liu family, and she is also the person who the queen placed by the emperor's side, so she has been treated more favorably since she was a child, and like Liu Wanying, she is a spoiled person.

The only one who had a good death in his previous life was the third princess Xiao Yun'er, who married Liu Chengyuan as his wife, which was considered a good end.

It's just that Liu Chengyuan is not a fuel-efficient person, he lives in a fireworks place for three days and two ends, and his life is naturally not comfortable.

But in Shen Ning's opinion, she was self-inflicted.

Sweeping over the group of concubines, Shen Ning knelt quietly behind the group of concubines.

As a daughter-in-law, she naturally wants to be after the concubine.

Those concubines were all full of sorrow, but they were not grieving for the emperor, but ...... Fear of your next fate.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and it was the best ending for these concubines to be sent to the Ganye Temple to accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha.

It's just that Xiao Chengyin ascended the throne in his previous life, and he hated these women.

hated these harem women for their deceitful conspiracy and murder of his mother, so he threw all these women into the imperial tomb and buried them alive for the emperor.

……

Slightly nervous, Shen Ning knelt on the ground and waited quietly.

In fact, it is a little sad, the fate of the Qin State and the fate of the royal family are actually in the hands of the queen.

The fall of power is the saddest status quo of the Qin State.

The Liu family has long been above the royal family.

This is a disgrace for the Xiao family.

Therefore, Shen Ning took every step of the way, calculating step by step...... In order to help Xiao Junhe, regain his rights, and not let anyone have any chance to bully him.

"The queen is out...... "A concubine whispered, and the concubine who had a bad relationship with the queen had begun to tremble.

Shen Ning glanced at the queen who was dressed in mourning clothes but did not feel half sad, and then lowered her head.

Xiao Chengyin was also nervous, subconsciously looked back at Shen Ning's position, gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

If he becomes emperor, he will definitely not let go of those who are enemies of him.

Compared with Xiao Chengyin's nervousness, Xiao Junhe was much more indifferent when he sat in a wheelchair.

He doesn't care.

It doesn't matter if he is the emperor or not, he has the ability and the back road to protect Shen Ning.

He has always been the only one he wants, Shen Ning.

"Your Majesty has died...... the queen made a sad expression and raised her hand to wipe her tears. Leave a testament. ”

took out the edict and handed it over to the great eunuch.

The great eunuch beside the emperor has been following the emperor for more than 20 years, and his words are sometimes very authoritative.

The big eunuch trembled, subconsciously glanced at the queen, and read tremblingly. "The second prince Xiao Junhe...... Fighting for the country, the merits are great, and he should inherit the unification...... I hope that Aiqing will do his best to assist ......"

As soon as the words fell, all the ministers looked at Xiao Junhe in shock.

The disabled prince who wasted his legs could actually become an emperor.

Everyone whispered in shock, only Shen Bozhong seemed to have already made up his mind.

Xiao Junhe was deposed of his legs and died of his mother, and he was obviously the best candidate for the queen to choose a puppet.

As for Xiao Chengyin...... The ambition is too big, the scheming is deep, and it is difficult to control.
