In May, the southern Xinjiang has gradually risen a little hot. And the southern Xinjiang court, which has always been silent. It even began to be turbulent.

Since that day, a man in black has appeared in the palace. But the forbidden army could not find it. The empress who thought there was nothing to do. But the next day when he went to court. received a report from the eldest princess Nie Xinyu. said that the third princess Nie Xinrou has been going on all these years. Leverage your trust. Forming a party outside for personal gain. Collusion with courtiers. Misdeeds.

Nie Xinrou not only colluded with courtiers. Moreover, it has cultivated party henchmen in southern Xinjiang. Take advantage of her status as a princess. Collect benefits from the people of southern Xinjiang. These things are piled up and piled up. The eldest princess came up with evidence. There are traces.

After the Empress looked at the evidence. For a while, it was difficult to accept that the three princesses had done so many rebellious things. fainted on the spot in the court. was carried back to the dormitory by the attendants beside him.

Followed by. News came from outside the palace. said that the guard under the Three Princesses was extremely strong in martial arts. I don't know where I got a clue about the secret realm of southern Xinjiang. Go to the Holy Land for your master. Get the treasure of southern Xinjiang. Help the Three Princesses seize the throne in Southern Xinjiang.

When the Empress first heard the news, she was shocked and angry. Hurriedly drank all the people around him. Endure the discomfort on your body. Opened the secret passage under the dragon's bed. Enter the secret room. Look at the box where the map is placed. I found that the lock on the box was fine. But the contents were gone.

"Nie Xinrou. The Empress looked at the empty box. There was a breath of air in my heart. Suddenly there was a fishy smell in the throat. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Both hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

Turn around and walk out of the secret room. The Empress lay on the bed as if nothing had happened. Long. Wait until your breath is calm. She sat up slowly. Wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth. Then he called the people outside the door to come in.

"What does Your Majesty command? The attendant walked to the inner sanctum. Fu Shen said to the Empress.

"Quickly edict His Highness and His Royal Highness Six to enter the palace. I have something to command. The Empress waved her hand at the attendants. So said. There was a tired look in his tone.

The attendant took the order and left. sent someone to call Nie Xinyu and Nie Xinyao into the palace. And then he was still guarding the door. Waiting for the empress's summons and orders.

Nie Xinyu and Nie Xinyao didn't know what the empress had summoned her. I just came to the queen's bedroom with a full of doubts. Looking at the empress leaning on the dragon bed with a tired face. Bow down.

"Erchen has seen the mother. ”

The empress glanced at Nie Xinyu and Nie Xinyao. Then he said, "You know. I summoned you to the palace today. So what's going on. ”

"Please also ask the Empress to make it clear. Again, the two spoke in unison.

"I'm getting old, too. The body is not as good as it used to be. Since the lonely city on the mountain. After being wounded by the Assassins. The bones of this body are getting weaker and weaker day by day. Southern Xinjiang ...... It's up to you. The Empress said with some seriousness. looked at the two people standing in front of him. The eyes were full of vicissitudes.

"Don't think so. Southern Xinjiang is still under the rule of the mother emperor. More prosperous. Nie Xinyao heard the empress say this. I was suddenly shocked. So said. I don't understand what the empress means.

"Alright. Don't say such comforting words. What my body looks like? I know it in my own heart. The Empress spoke. "I called you two over today. It's to give you both a mission. ”

"Please also ask the Empress to make it clear. Nie Xinyu saw the solemn look on the empress's face. I knew in my heart that the Empress was not joking. He asked.

"Among my daughters. Let's be honest. Xinyi is the one who most resembles me when I was young. Impulsive personality. Stubborn temper. I never knew what it was to bow my head. And because of that. So often hit the head to break the blood flow. Because of this. I often hang her. I just want to kill the sharp energy in her. I didn't expect it. After all, it was made to be the way it is. The Empress said with emotion. "The heart is the most suitable person to become a prince. But my health has not been good. Even if you sit in this position. It's also hard to navigate. Rou'er is deep in thought. There are too many thoughts on the side door. Not on the right path. The state was handed over to her. I'm not at ease. ”

Nie Xinyu and Nie Xinyao glanced at each other. Then listen quietly. If in normal times. A person of such a character as the Empress. It is absolutely impossible to say such a thing to them. Even if it is said. They would also wonder if the Empress was testing them for something. Is it ulterior motives.

But today. They don't think so. Because they are from the face of the Empress. Saw some helplessness.

Neither of them spoke. I only heard the empress speak again: "Yao'er is from the main palace." She is also my eldest daughter. According to the rules of the past. The position of the prince. It's Yao'er's. And all these years. I cultivate it consciously or unconsciously. There is also Yao'er's own consciousness. Got to this point. Yao'er can also be regarded as a qualified prince...... So. I have called you to this day. It is to make a clear decree. From now on. Nie Xinyao, the sixth princess, was named the crown princess. For the prison country. ”

"Mother Queen...... This ......" Nie Xinyao originally thought. She entered the palace today. I will only hear the empress's accusation of Nie Xinrou's crimes. But I didn't expect it. But I heard such news.

"Listen to me first. The empress interrupted Nie Xinyao's words. Said. "The things that Rou'er did behind her back. I know more or less about it. If in normal times. I don't mind pampering her. It's up to her. Take this as a test for you. But this time. Her mind was exposed too much. He even hit me on the head. I can't tolerate it. ”

"The Mother must have had an idea. Nie thought for a moment. Then asked.

"Yes. The Empress nodded. "It's time for me to rest. I'm old. I don't want to be called greedy for power. can't tolerate his daughter. So I hope. Rou'er's affairs will be handled by you. ”

"Please rest assured. Erchen knew what to do. Nie Xinyu looked at the empress. Nodding knowingly.

"Sister ...... Emperor," Nie Xinyao was apprehensive. looked at Nie Xinyu. Murmured.

"Since time immemorial. Only a benevolent emperor can win the hearts of the people. Now that the sixth emperor sister is now Her Royal Highness. So this blackface. Naturally, it was sung by the sons. The eldest princess said. "Erchen must assist the six emperor sisters well. Governance of southern Xinjiang. Until the day when Erchen could no longer stand up. ”

"You can think of it that way. Very good......" said the Empress. "You two have the most similar temperaments. But you are more stable than Yao'er. Yao'er is straighter than you. The two complement each other. This southern Xinjiang ...... There will be hope. ”

"The retainers obeyed. Nie Xinyao and Nie Xinyu said at the same time.

"Let's all go down. Canonization of the will of the crown princess. I'll be giving it out soon. From tomorrow. Yao'er will be in charge of the early dynasty......" the empress sighed. So said. He waved his hand at the two of them.

Nie Xinyu and Nie Xinyao saluted. Bow down and retire. Then they walked out of the empress's bedchamber together.

There were no words along the way. The two walked out of the palace gate. Nie Xinyu spoke: "The situation in southern Xinjiang has come to this point. There was no other way for the Mother Empress. So far. You are the biggest winner. ”

"If the eldest sister hadn't been injured on the battlefield in the past. Now I am not in good health. I can't compete with the eldest sister. Nie Xinyao said with a smile.

"I have to say. The strategist next to you is also a great one. Not sure why. Ever since she came to you. No matter what, you'll be able to do it all the way. Framed by the Regent. Nie Xinrou's accusations. You'll be able to get away with it...... That's a kind of skill. Nie Xinyu looked at Nie Xinyao inexplicably. So said.

"What does the eldest sister mean by this? Nie Xinyao was puzzled.

"It doesn't mean anything. It's just sighing. Nie Xinyu said. "Sixth sister. This should be the last time I'll call you that. See you later. It is time to call Her Royal Highness. You should be thankful that you have such a counselor by your side. If she hadn't come to me before. Let me assist you. I'm afraid that today in front of the Mother Emperor. I wouldn't be so quick to let go. ”

Nie Xinyao listened to Nie Xinyu's words. Surprise in my heart. She didn't expect Qingchen to think of this matter first. also preemptively negotiated the conditions with Nie Xinyu. It doesn't matter what the purpose of dust removal is. And what are the conditions. In short, Nie Xinyu promised to assist her in front of the empress without any rebuttal. For her. is the best result.

Walk with Nie Xinyu for a while. Finally, we reached a fork in the road. The two walked in two different directions. Nie Xinyao returned to the Six Kings' Mansion. Then he sent for him to clean up the dust. What will happen in the palace today. It's all about Qingchen one by one.

"Congratulations to Her Royal Highness. Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager. Qingchen listened to Nie Xinyao's words. Congratulations on the bento immediately.

"Don't be busy. The will of the Mother has not yet been handed down. Now it's just a verbal sentence. In the end it is not. I'm not sure yet. Nie Xinyao hurriedly waved her hand. Let Qingchen not be in a hurry to say hello.

"It's a foregone conclusion. Southern Xinjiang except for His Royal Highness. There is no one left to take on the task. Let alone. His Royal Highness is the most suitable person to inherit the throne among all the royal daughters. Qingchen said. "I'm sure. In less than half an hour. His Royal Highness's decree to crown the crown princess will spread throughout southern Xinjiang. His Highness just waited to receive the courtier's congratulations. ”

"That being said. But the burden on my shoulders is heavier. Nie Xinyao said. "You know. According to the character of the mother. She was only fifty years old. Say old. It's not that old. But so quickly handed over the power in his hands. I always felt that something was wrong. ”

"Your Highness don't have to worry too much. Regardless of Her Majesty's considerations. At least for now. His Highness has the upper hand. Qingchen said. "Little by little, the authority in his hands fell into the hands of His Highness. Then His Highness had nothing to fear. Especially in the matter of the Three Highnesses. Your Highness can cut off all worries. ”

"You're right. That's what the Mother Mother means. Nie Xinyao said. "Starting tomorrow. I will take the place of the mother emperor to supervise the administration of the court. Things to do in the Holy Land. I'll leave it to the girl. ”

"Your Highness, please rest assured. I will definitely live up to the trust of His Highness. Qingchen nodded. "Speaking of which. His Highness should also thank the Third Highness. If it weren't for the matter of the Third Highness, Her Majesty would be sick. Coupled with the blow to His Majesty from the theft of the map of the Holy Land. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not hand over the heavy responsibility of the prison country to His Highness so quickly. ”
