After winter, Yin Ning, who had been married for almost half a year, became pregnant.

When Wen Cha and Yin Lan went to see her, she had the joy of becoming a mother on her face, her eyebrows were calm and stable, and her life was obviously very good.

Wen Cha's heart was completely relieved, and he talked to her by the stove for a long time, and was picked up by Chu Xiao.

The two did not take a carriage, but walked back hand in hand along the long street, spreading a thin layer of snowflakes along the way, and the first snow of winter arrived as scheduled.

Wen Cha walked for a while, and he couldn't walk anymore, Chu Xiao bent down to carry him on his back and continued to walk, his steps were very heavy and steady, just like the feeling he gave people, so safe.

Wen Cha hugged his neck with one hand, and with the other hand to catch the fluttering snow, the feeling of the snowflakes melting on her fingertips made her feel ethereal and funny.

She had a lot of fun, and when she had enough, she put her hand into his neckline to keep warm, and Chu Xiao didn't say anything about her, just turned her head and rubbed her slightly cool cheek.

Wen Cha looked at his resolute and handsome side face, couldn't say what he felt in his heart, and asked him in a low voice, "Will we be happy in the future?"

Chu Xiao was stunned for a moment, "What are you asking for?" ”

Wen Cha put her arms around his neck, "I just think all this is too unreal." ”

“……”

"Can I really marry you?" She asked uncertainly, but her heart was at a loss.

"What are you thinking?" Chu Xiao interrupted her with a frown, "If you don't marry me, who are you going to marry?" Is it possible to marry that Master Li? That Master Li had already left for the West two months ago, and you had better die of this heart. ”

Wen Cha's originally melancholy mood suddenly became clear, "How can I look down on that bad old man?" ”

"Then be obedient, wait a few more months, and you will be able to marry me."

Wen Cha nodded, and Chu Xiao said again, "We will be happy."

He said: "You are not Yin Yue, and I am not Song Ci, so we can't compare them."

"What about the third sister?" Wen Cha asked softly, "Will she be okay too?"

"It's going to be fine." Chu Xiao said: "What you are worried about will never happen, everything will be fine."

Wen Cha suddenly felt at ease, and she was almost stunned to believe that Chu Xiao would not lie to her.

He never broke his promise to her.

"Thank you." She hugged Chu Xiao tightly, tilted her head and kissed him on the face.

Chu Xiao accepted this kiss very indifferently, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he whispered: "You are small, but you think about a lot of things."

Wen Cha was embarrassed: "I'm just afraid that I've caused two sisters to be involved, what if they are unhappy because of my relationship?"

When Chu Xiao heard this, he paused for a moment and said lightly: "Chang Sheng is a person worthy of trust, your second sister will not be wronged if she is with him." As for King Chang, he is a smart man, since he chose your third sister, it means that he has put her in the corresponding position, no matter what happens in the future, this decision will not change. ”

"I see." Wen Cha sighed quietly and asked softly, "If the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, what should King Chang do?"

She was vaguely aware of the mismatch between King Chang and the crown prince, "The prince will be the first to get rid of King Chang, right?" ”

"That's not on your radar." Chu Xiao checked her little body and said, "I will handle these things."

"Uh-oh." Wen Cha rubbed his back, "Then when you come, you must come to marry me?" ”

Chu Xiao coughed lightly: "I won't come to marry you, who else in the capital will dare to marry you?"

After the winter, the snow was all over the sky, and the elderly Emperor Zhou suffered from the wind and cold when he went down to the court, and his body collapsed all at once.

The imperial physicians changed batch after batch, but they did not cure Emperor Zhou's illness.

Emperor Zhou is already at the age of the sixtieth birthday, which is already an advanced age in ancient times when the life expectancy was generally very low, not only the wind and cold, but also the latent dark disease in the body, which is also overwhelmingly rolled up with this illness.

Emperor Zhou is an iron-beaten body, and he also can't stand it one day, and he stays on the sickbed all day long.

The crown prince, who has been waiting for the succession, is simply overjoyed, he is sixty years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, and since the year of the crown, he has been looking forward to Emperor Zhou's abdication, this hope is sixteen years, and he will finally survive Emperor Zhou's death.

A member of the Baotai Party even folded repeatedly, begging Emperor Zhou to write an edict to correct the crown prince.

Emperor Zhou was obsessed with power, and after seeing these twists and turns, he was furious, and called the prince to come over and give him a stinky lecture, and between his words, there was a sense of beating the prince.

He is not dead yet, the prince is so anxious, does he want him to withdraw from the position of prince?

The crown prince was so miserable, he scolded Emperor Zhou hundreds of times in his heart, this dead old man couldn't get out of bed anymore, what was he doing on the throne?

When the crown princess Zhang Ruoxue heard this, she comforted the prince and sent the news back to her mother's house.

The Baotai Party and his party gathered together to discuss the method, and if Emperor Zhou removed the prince at this juncture, it would be too bad.

Half of the people thought that they should wait for the opportunity to survive Emperor Zhou, and then the merit would be complete.

The other half of the people don't think so.

"In the past few years, King Chang has gained power repeatedly, and there is the Zhenbei General's Mansion behind him, if His Majesty abolishes the prince, he will inevitably pass on the throne to King Chang, so that we are tantamount to a thorn in the side of King Chang, and when the time comes, we will only have the share of being slaughtered, and we should make plans as soon as possible."

"According to the Prime Minister's wishes?"

Song Xiang made a movement to wipe his neck, which frightened the rest of the people into bloodless instantly.

"No, no!" The more timid officials retreated one after another, "This is a big crime of killing the king, if the East Window incident happens, it will be punished by the Nine Clans." ”

"Is that all you have the courage to do?" Song sneered at their attitude, "If you are so cowardly and afraid, what use does the prince want from you?" ”

"This ......"

"According to my words, Lord Song's analysis is good." Yin Mingzhe, who had been silent, actually took the lead in seconding the proposal, "Your Majesty is very fond of playing with power, and his temperament is uncertain, if it is not the crown prince who succeeds to the throne in the end, we are afraid that we will add a few white bones to the new throne, why don't we listen to Lord Song?" ”

Yin Mingzhe's flattery surprised the prime minister, but when he thought of his unscrupulous behavior, the prime minister was relieved, "What Hou Ye said is right, we and the prince will be both prosperous and lossy, if we don't take the lead now, it will only be the soul of Chu Xiao's knife when it is too late." ”

As soon as they heard Chu Xiao's name, the other officials who were originally in the repayment period of Ai Ai, after thinking about it, acquiesced to Song Xiang's approach.

They now have no way out, and only by letting the crown prince ascend the throne can they maintain their glory.

Now that you're already on the edge of the cliff, why not give it a go?

When the New Year is approaching, His Majesty in the palace not only can't go to court, but even has less time to be sober.

Everyone realized that the day was not far off when he would die.
