The little eunuch struck a spirit, trembling and moving the lantern in his hand to the ground.

"Mom!"

The little eunuch screamed in exclamation, turned his head and was about to run.

It was a female corpse lying at his feet.

This female corpse is the girl in front of the queen, Wan'er.

The frightened little eunuch panicked, and just after running two steps, he tripped and fell to the ground, and the lantern in his hand rolled aside and caught fire.

The firelight brought a glimmer of light to the main hall, and the little eunuch felt his scalp tingle and his soul out of his body after just one glance.

There are corpses all over the hall, there are eunuchs, there are also palace maids, all of whom are people around the queen's mother.

How dare the little eunuch stay in the hall, kick his legs and take a few steps back, and as soon as he turns around, he is about to get up.

At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his ankle.

The little eunuch had to take care of his soaked crotch, kicked a few feet in a row, crawled out with both hands, and shouted loudly: "Ghost~Help~"

Panicked, he glanced back.

By the faint light of the lantern that was about to burn out, he saw the corpse lying on the ground sitting upright, turning its head to look at him.

"Ah~ghost~"

His exclamation resounded through the hall.

At this time, a faint voice came, "Gonggong Hong, what are you calling in that ghost?"

The person who spoke was Wan'er who grabbed Gonggong Hong's ankle.

Hearing this, Gonggong Hong looked at it and asked in fear: "Wan, Wan'er, you, are you a human, or a ghost?"

Wan'er had already sat up, she let go of the hand holding Gonggong Hong, rubbed her head, and said to Gonggong Hong, who was chattering at her teeth and couldn't say anything: "Gonggong Hong, what are you talking nonsense? ”

Gonggong Hong retracted his legs and asked tentatively, "You, are you really, okay?"

Wan'er rubbed her groggy head, shook it gently, and said in a low voice: "My head is so dizzy, do you have a fire fold on your body?"

Gonggong Hong, who had already squatted up, took out the fire fold from his arms, blew it, raised it to Wan'er's side, and whispered: "Wan'er, where is the candlestick? It's so dark that I can't see anything clearly, by the way, what happened? When I came back, I found that there was not a single lamp lit here, and I was anxious, so I immediately came in to take a look, who expected to see you all lying on the ground, and thought that you had all suffered mishaps, but I was scared to death." ”

After speaking, he patted his chest, and then smelled a strange smell, and then realized that he was scared to pee his pants.

He looked embarrassed and clamped his legs.

Fortunately, Wan'er's attention was not on him, and she didn't see what he was, but just took the fire fold from his hand and went to find the candlestick.

After a few candles were lit, the main hall suddenly lit up.

Gonggong Hong saw that the other people were fine, and the heart hanging in his throat was finally put back in his stomach.

A few people were still a little dizzy, sitting there rubbing their heads.

Wan'er said to Gonggong Hong while she was busy: "Thanks to you coming back, a few of us should have been drugged." ”

After helping Wan'er wake up the others, Gonggong Hong looked around, but did not find any clues, and replied casually: "Who is drugged? Who dares to come to the palace to make a mess? Don't look at where this is, this is the queen's bedroom." ”

Wan'er, who blew out the fire fold, heard Gonggong Hong's question, and was so shocked that she slapped her head and said in a panic: "It's broken, where is Niangniang?"

After speaking, he hurriedly greeted several other people and said, "Get up, get up, go and find Niangniang." ”

Since the queen entered the harem, Wan'er has been following her, and in this Changchun Palace, Wan'er's words have always carried a lot of weight.

Although the Mink Temple, which is responsible for the internal affairs of Changchun Palace, has an official position, its status is not as good as the queen's favorite girl.

The queen once said in person that she and Wan'er are like sisters.

If it weren't for Yuan Shixin meddling in the affairs of the harem, the queen would have wanted Wan'er to be a concubine for Sima Wende.

The emperor who doesn't accept concubines, the harem is actually very deserted.

Several people were instructed to go in pairs and take the extra candlesticks to the other rooms to check.

Wan'er greeted Gonggong Hong, and the two walked directly to the room where the queen was sleeping.

Gonggong Hong pulled Wan'er, who was walking quickly, and said in a low voice: "Miss Wan'er, don't you go in such a hurry? If you walk too fast, the candlelight will go out." ”

Wan'er, who had already cheered up, glared at Gonggong Hong and said lightly: "Besides such a big matter, aren't you in a hurry? ”

Gonggong Hong looked around a few times and grabbed Wan'er's arm.

Wan'er shook her arm, stomped her feet in a hurry, and said, "Why are you still standing?" or you give me the candlestick, and I'll go, don't blame me for speaking ill of you in front of your master." ”

Gonggong Hong leaned close to Wan'er's body, bowed his head and said, "Wan'er, you are also a very clever girl on weekdays, why is your brain not bright at this time?"

"How?"

Wan'er looked at Gonggong Hong suspiciously.

Gonggong Hong had an expression that you still didn't understand, sighed and said: "Wan'er, if the mother is fine, how can she not send someone to find you? If the mother has something, what can we do with the two of us? You first think about what happened in the main hall, why were you fascinated? Where are you better to see the queen mother again?"

When Wan'er heard this, her eyes turned red, and she stomped her feet and said, "It's broken, it's broken, the mother was in the palace at the time, so where is she now?"

Gonggong Hong clenched Wan'er's arm and said, "Don't worry, you have a fart in a hurry." ”

At present, Gonggong Hong is not too jealous of Wan'er's identity.

He thought for a while and said, "Wan'er, let me tell you, something big has happened to our palace." ”

"Big deal, what's the big deal? The mother is lost, isn't this a big deal?"

Gonggong Hong sneered: "The queen mother is just His Majesty's woman......"

Wan'er slapped Gonggong Hong's body and shouted: "Who gave your dog the courage to dare to say such a rebellious thing, be careful that people listen to it, and give you a rod to death." ”

Gonggong Hong smiled and said: "There is no one else here, what are you afraid of? Besides, if this palace is not even His Majesty the Emperor, who else can kill me with a cane?"

When Wan'er heard this, she was taken aback and said, "What's the matter with you, why is this more and more outrageous? Is it really enough to live? Hong Wu, if you can't think about it, don't bother this girl." ”

A gust of wind blew, I only felt a cold under my crotch, and I wanted to go back to change my clothes, so I said to Wan'er: "I'm doing this for your good, Wan'er, don't blame me for not telling you, you are the person next to the mother, some jewelry or something, you can hide it, just hide it, the queen mother's bedroom is burned down, there is nothing, I heard that Your Majesty was also burned to death, and now even the mother is gone, think about it." ”

After speaking, he sighed and said: "Wan'er, I am a wasted person, otherwise I will definitely clean up, sneak out of the palace quietly, and find a place where no one lives quietly, why do I have to swallow my anger and serve people here for a lifetime." ”

Wan'er was silent for a moment.

After listening to Hong Wu's words, she thought about it carefully, the mink temple on the queen's side has changed recently, and she looks cold, originally she thought it was arranged by His Majesty the Emperor who never liked the queen's mother, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

After thinking about it, she looked up and asked, "What about the others?"

Hong Wu shook his head and said, "Who still has the heart to pay attention to others right now? When I came back, I found that I hadn't even seen the Imperial Forest Army, do you say there is nothing strange about this matter?"

Wan'er rubbed her eyes, glanced at Hong Wu and asked, "Then what do you think?"

Hong Wu smiled helplessly: "I'm a eunuch after all, where can I go after leaving the palace?"

Wan'er wondered, "Then why are you telling me this?"

Hong Wu glanced at Wan'er, let go of the hand that grabbed Wan'er's arm, and did not answer Wan'er's words, but said: "Let's go, I'm done talking, and the rest is up to you." ”

There were some things he couldn't say.

Wan'er seemed to understand what Hong Wu was thinking, her face was slightly red, and she turned to leave.

The room where the queen was sleeping was still not lit, and Wan'er glanced back at Hong Wu.

Hong Wu nodded, and the two pushed the door open.

The room was silent, and Wan'er involuntarily grabbed Hong Wu's arm with both hands.

According to Hong Wu's thoughts, this room must be empty, and the reason why he came here was because he guessed that there was no one here.

The Queen's jewels are all here.

Hong Wuyi held the candlestick in his hand, gently patted Wan'er's hand holding his arm with one hand, and whispered, "It's okay, wait for me to light the lamp." ”

After Hong Wu lit the candles in the outer hall, Wan'er walked to the inner room.

Hong Wuyi sat down, carried the teapot, turned over a teacup, poured himself a glass of water, and poured a cup of water for himself, regardless of whether it was cold or not, he poured a cup of stomach first.

Then he grabbed a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it heavily.

"Ah~, mother~"

Wan'er screamed, then ran out, trembling: "Niangniang, Niangniang, she's here, ...... here"

Hong Wu nibbled on half of the pastry and dropped it on the table, and he exclaimed: "Niangniang is here? She, she, her, people? What is your name? Why don't you go and serve, serve Niangniang, Niangniang?"

The frightened Wan'er looked back at the inner room, grabbed Hong Wu's arm with both hands and said, "Niangniang, she, she hanged herself!"

"What?"

Hong Wu stood up, and then asked, "Is there anyone else in the house?"

Wan'er just shook her head and said again and again: "Hong Wu, what should I do?"

Hong Wu pressed Wan'er on the chair, suppressed his voice and said, "What should I do?" I have told you everything, Wan'er, after tonight, I don't know what the situation will be tomorrow, you think about it yourself, I'll go inside and take a look." ”

Wan'er pulled the five sleeves of her coat.

Hong Wu patted Wan'er on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's okay!"

After saying that, he walked to the inner room.

A white silk hung from the beams of the house, and the queen's body hung on the white silk, swaying gently.

Hong Wu knelt on the ground, muttered a few words, got up, and walked on tiptoe towards the queen's dressing table.

Flipping through a few drawers, Hong Wu grabbed a few handfuls of jewelry and stuffed them into his arms.

At this time, a female voice came from behind him: "There are so many, why don't you catch more and take them all away?"

Hong Wu replied casually: "It's almost done, it's all taken away, sooner or later someone will find out, just take some away, no one cares, anyway, no one knows how much jewelry there is." ”

There was a burst of laughter like silver bells behind him, and a hand was pressed on Hong Wu's shoulder, "It's a very clever little eunuch, so bold, why do you still pee your pants?"

Hong Wu's body stiffened, and he turned his head blankly and saw another face.

A stunning face.

It's just that he can see that this face is no longer young.

No matter how good you are, you can't escape the years like a knife.

He was about to turn around, but he found that he couldn't move at all, not because he was too scared to move, but after being held down by the woman behind him on the shoulder, his body was a little disobedient.

Hong Wu's hand was taken out of his arms, and several strings of jewelry fell to the ground, he wanted to squat down and pick them up, but he couldn't move.

The woman let go of her hand, "Don't try to run around, be careful that you'll die?"

With that, the woman then asked, "Do you want these jewels?"

Hong Wu couldn't guess the identity of this person, and now his life was critical, his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life, the little one is greedy for a while, these jewels are also asked to be taken away by the woman, the little one has not seen anything, and has never seen the woman come." ”

"Woman?" the woman smiled lightly and said casually, "I like this title very much, but unfortunately, I'm not!"

Glancing at the scattered jewelry, she snorted coldly and said, "Just those rags, a bunch of dead people's wear, if you like it, I'll reward you!"

Hong Wu heard this person say the word "reward", and thought to himself, who are you, if I can't beat you, these jewels still need you to reward?

At this time, he suddenly remembered Wan'er sitting outside, and raised his head in surprise to look at the outer hall.

The woman smiled and said, "What's the matter?

Hong Wu raised his head and asked, "Who are you? What happened to Wan'er?"

The woman walked out with her hands behind her back and said, "Wouldn't you just go out and have a look?" By the way, I advise you to take those jewels with you, so as to save others for nothing. ”

Hong Wu got up from the ground, gritted his teeth, and put the jewel into his arms again.

After thinking about it, he stuffed all the remaining jewels in the drawer into his arms.

The woman glanced over her head and walked towards the outer hall.

Hong Wu followed and walked out, but saw Wan'er lying on the table.

The outer hall was brightly lit, and Hong Wu cautiously glanced at the woman.

He is not tall, slightly shorter than Wan'er, dressed tightly, with a large upper circumference, a thin waist and round hips, and looks soft and weak.

If it weren't for Fang Cai's unfathomable skills, Hong Wu felt that even if he was a eunuch, he would be able to knock her down with one palm.

I really don't know how she has that strength in her body.

Hong Wu didn't dare to look at her face.

Hong Wu walked over to Wan'er's side.

The woman sat down in the main seat of the outer hall, raised her eyes to look at Hong Wu, and said slowly: "She is just fascinated by the medicine, and she will wake up in a while." ”

Hong Wu remembered what Wan'er had said before, and was shocked.

Could it be that this person did it?

Hong Wu was not interested in knowing what she was going to do, and the most important thing at the moment was whether he could save this little life.

He wanted to speak, but he stopped.

The woman chuckled and asked, "What?"

Hong Wu knelt on the ground and said, "Dare to ask what the woman commands?"

The woman looked at Hong Wu, who was bowing her head, and said lazily: "Wake her up, I have something to say to you two!"

Hong Wu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know what to do.

The woman said, "Just stir it up with water." ”

Hong Wu got up, poured out half a glass of water from the pot, took a big sip, and then puffed out his cheeks and sprayed Wan'er's face.

Wan'er was excited, and after waking up, she wiped the water on her face, saw Hong Wu standing in front of her with a cup, and said slightly angrily: "What are you doing?

Hong Wu was stunned for a moment, then leaned over and whispered, "Look over there." ”

Wan'er, with an angry face, turned her head to look at the woman, stood up in surprise and said, "It's you?"

The woman laughed and said, "Yes, it's me, how about sleeping?"

Wan'er leaned in front of Hong Wu and whispered, "I remember, it was she who suddenly appeared in Niangniang's palace, and then casually raised her hand, and we were fascinated." ”

The woman held her cheek with one hand, looked at the two of them and said, "It's not good to mutter like this in front of me~"

Hong Wu gently poked Wan'er with his finger.

Then he smiled and said: "Don't blame the woman, it's that this girl is not very bright." ”

The woman looked at Wan'er and said, "It seems that you have forgotten me, just now I thought you had remembered me, but it is so disappointing." ”

Then he shook his head and sighed: "But it's no wonder you can't remember, when you and I met, you were just a doll a few years old." Let me ask you, did your father serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites? Later, because Zhao Xiang was implicated, he was dismissed?"

Wan'er bit her lip, and then whispered: "At that time, I was still young, and I can't remember many things, but my father did serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. ”

The woman nodded and said, "That's it, I'll talk about these things later, I received your favor back then, so you can follow me in the future!"

Hong Wu looked up at the woman, then withdrew his gaze.

The woman chuckled, "Don't be careful, I didn't know you before." ”

Hong Wu bowed his head and said: "The heroine is the phoenix among people, how can a pariah like a villain be acquainted, and it is a privilege to meet a woman today." ”

The woman clapped her hands lightly and smiled: "What a sentence is the phoenix among people, but a well-spoken little eunuch, if you don't dislike it, you can also follow my side." ”

Hong Wu, who bowed his head, looked at the bulging chest in his chest, and naturally didn't want to be the errand that served people anymore.

He grinned and said, "I am naturally willing to serve the heroine, but I am a eunuch, and there are many inconveniences......"

The woman snorted coldly and interrupted Hong Wu's words, "Duplicity is not beautiful!"

Hong Wu plopped down and knelt on the ground, and then pulled Wan'er's trouser legs.

Wan'er was still thinking hard about who the woman in front of her was, and she was pulled by Hong Wu like this, and she couldn't help kneeling down.

The woman stood up, walked a few steps and said, "You two remember, in a few days, the owner of this Changchun Palace will be the main palace, and you two will take care of this palace to the main palace!"

After speaking, the figure floated away, and it had disappeared.

Hong Wu and Wan'er looked back at the open door and froze in place.

————————

Cao Ning and Zhao Yu have left Xiangguo Mansion.

Yuan Shixin got up and went to the study.

After pushing the door open, Yuan Shixin ordered the chief butler to wait outside the door.

The wooden box containing the jade seal was held in his hand.

Putting the jade seal on the desk, Yuan Shixin said softly: "Since you're back, don't hide it, come out!"

Liu Piaopiao walked out of the back room.

Yuan Shixin laughed, grabbed Liu Piaopiao, and sat on the chair.

Liu Piaopiao sat in his arms and said coquettishly: "How do you know that I am back?"

Yuan Shixin smiled and said: "You have served this king for many years, how can this king not know the smell on your body?"

Liu Piaopiao is now thirty-six, but in Yuan Shixin's arms, she is still such a little daughter, and her delicate face does not look pretentious.

Sticking her head to Yuan Shixin's chest, she asked softly, "What is the smell, why can't I smell it?"

Yuan Shixin slapped his palm on Liu Piaopiao's buttocks, and said close to the root of his ear: "Sao'er!"

Liu Piaopiao glared at Yuan Shixin, sat up from his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, pouted and said, "It's not because you men like this?"

Yuan Shixin's face suddenly flashed with a hint of strangeness.

Liu Piaopiao knew what was going on.

It's been all these years, and he hasn't put it down yet, and he's really a cautious man.

The corners of Liu Piaopiao's mouth raised, hooked Yuan Shixin's neck with one hand, rubbed Yuan Shixin's chest lightly with the other, and said delicately: "Is the slave family going to change their words to call you Your Majesty?"

Yuan Shixin smiled when he heard this, hugged Liu Piaopiao's thin waist, kissed Liu Piaopiao's red lips and said, "What about you?

Liu Piaopiao's eyelids drooped, and she said softly: "I'm nameless and undivided, but I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes." ”

"Oh?"

Yuan Shixin glared and said, "Who dares to say that you have no name and no points?"

Liu Piaopiao glanced at Yuan Shixin resentfully, and said quietly: "Didn't you ask knowingly?"

Yuan Shixin grinned, then looked at Liu Piaopiao with pity and said, "I have wronged you a little over the years. ”

Liu Piaopiao sighed lightly and said: "What do I have to be wronged? It's just that I pity Yu'er, who has been hiding in Tibet all these years, as the prince of the king, but I can't tell the world, I, as a mother, only feel sorry for him." ”

Yuan Shixin held Liu Piaopiao's hand, held it in his arms with the other hand and said, "Take Yu'er to the mansion tomorrow, I will ascend the throne soon, and he can appear in front of the world." ”

Liu Piaopiao said with a happy face: "Really, but it's ......"

Yuan Shixin sighed lightly and said, "You mean De'er!"

Liu Piaopiao was silent.

Yuan Shixin stroked his forehead, was silent for a moment and said, "I have also thought about this matter for a long time. Piao Piao, I hope you don't rush to think about the future, at least after I ascend the throne, I won't be crowned a prince for the time being, as for this throne, ......"

Liu Piaopiao shook his head and said: "The princess has passed away for many years, and Your Majesty has not set up a princess again. ”

Yuan Shixin chuckled and said, "Then have you ever thought about why I haven't set up another princess over the years?"

Liu Piaopiao put his face on Yuan Shixin's chest and said softly: "I don't dare to think about it!"

Yuan Shixin smiled and said: "Why don't you dare to think? Because I have you by my side, don't forget, I don't have another princess, besides you, there are other women around me?"

Liu Piaopiao sat up from Yuan Shixin's arms, looked at him in disbelief, his lips trembled a few times, and then he threw himself into Yuan Shixin's arms and muttered: "Impossible, no, how did I, Liu Piaopiao, become the queen of the world, just by virtue of my background, the world will laugh at you." ”

Yuan Shixin snorted coldly, pressed on the armrest with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "I, Yuan Shixin, said that I did it, and naturally I did it." ”

Then he whispered to Liu Piaopiao: "However, I didn't say that I wanted to canonize Liu Piaopiao as the queen. ”

Feeling the delicate body of the beautiful woman in his arms, Yuan Shixin laughed a few times, patted Liu Piaopiao's body and said, "Don't worry, Liu Piaopiao can't be the queen, you don't call Liu Piaopiao." ”

After speaking, he kissed Liu Piaopiao's forehead and said, "Over the years, you have been running around for my imperial hegemony, and I have always kept it in my heart." ”

"According to your relationship with me, De'er should also call you a concubine, it is I who have delayed the acceptance of you as a concubine for the sake of my Yuan family's foundation, you have grievances, although you don't say it, but I see it in my eyes. ”

At this time, Liu Piaopiao was already with tears in her eyes, and she sobbed softly in Yuan Shixin's arms.

Yuan Shixin helped her gently wipe away her tears.

Liu Piaopiao choked up and said: "I, I thought that Your Majesty was, did you think that I was an old pearl yellow? I never dared to think about being a queen, and I didn't even dare to think about the identity of a concubine, as long as Yu'er didn't suffer, I would be satisfied." ”

"It is my blessing to be able to help Your Majesty complete the hegemony of the Thousand Ages. ”

Yuan Shixin rubbed the corners of Liu Piao's eyes with pity, sighed and said, "It's because I'm old!"

Liu Piaopiao shook his head lightly and said: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life, so he is not old, when did His Majesty pamper me and not toss the slave family to death or life?"

After speaking, he showed a shy look on his face and buried his head in Yuan Shixin's arms.

Yuan Shixin laughed a few times when he heard this, leaned over and leaned over Liu Piaopiao's ear and said, "Otherwise, I will verify and verify?"

Liu Piaopiao's small fist slammed on Yuan Shixin's chest, shook his head and said, "It's necrotic, it's daylight, and the slave family will serve Your Majesty at night?"

Yuan Shixin stroked his beard and laughed: "Okay, okay, in the evening, I want to drink a few more glasses of wine you brewed for me." ”

Liu Piaopiao let out a soft "um".

Then he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you make me the queen, will De'er be too careful?" Besides, if you don't make the crown prince right away, I'm afraid that he will be dissatisfied. ”

Yuan Shixin pondered for a moment and said: "I have my own plans for this matter, and De'er will understand my painstaking efforts." As for Yu'er, let me arrange for the two brothers to meet. ”

Liu Piaopiao nodded, and then asked, "Then Your Majesty's enthronement ceremony, can De'er catch up?"

Yuan Shixin said with a smile: "He naturally wants to come, if nothing happens, De'er will be able to arrive in Luoyue City tomorrow." ”

Liu Piaopiao was taken aback, "So fast?"

Yuan Shixin glanced at Liu Piaopiao and asked, "What's the matter?" Are you still afraid that De'er will not succeed?"

Liu Piaopiao got up from Yuan Shixin's arms, walked behind him, put his elbows on his shoulders, shook slightly, and said while pressing: "After all, after all these years under his hands, I just ordered this 'lover' brand to be sent to that girl, and you want to make me the queen, I will inevitably be a little ...... when I see De'er."

Yuan Shixin's eyes were slightly closed, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the outside of his shoulder and said: "Here, yes, yes, it's here, Piao Piao, it's still your tricks good, but don't be a queen, you won't pinch my shoulder." ”

Liu Piaopiao said with a smile: "The queen is for the world to see, in front of Your Majesty, Piao Piao is your wife, this wife beats her husband's shoulders and rubs her legs is a matter of course, as long as Your Majesty does not dislike Piao Piao, Piao Piao will naturally press Your Majesty for a lifetime." ”

Yuan Shixin nodded with a smile.

Then he said: "De'er is a person who knows measure, you can rest assured." Are you still complaining that I ordered you to help De'er participate in the cutting of the deer building?"

Liu Piaopiao didn't answer on his mouth, but the force in his hand was a little heavier.

Yuan Shixin raised his right hand and waved it lightly a few times and said, "Okay, you can rest for a while, I'm a little thirsty, you go and pour me a cup of tea." ”

Liu Piaopiao retracted her arms, paused, and then leaned over and pecked Yuan Shixin's cheek lightly, and then went to pour tea for Yuan Shixin.

Yuan Shixin looked at Liu Piaopiao's back and shook his head gently.

It is worthy of being a "lover".

Yuan Shixin is by no means a person who covets beauty.

And he is an extremely sane person.

Reason told him that he shouldn't have made Liu Piaopiao queen, but he did it anyway.

Is he risking the world's condemnation for the sake of popularity?

Naturally not.

But in Yuan Shixin's view, since he has ascended the throne, then he is heaven.

His command is the Mandate of Heaven.

He has feelings for Liu Piaopiao, and he has very deep feelings.

Yuan Shixin has loved such a woman in his life.

Even Yuan Bingde's biological mother he never loved.

His princess is nothing more than the product of an exchange of interests.

It was Liu Piaopiao's appearance that let him know that women need to be protected.

Yuan Shixin got up and grabbed a booklet from his desk, took it in his hand and sat back in his seat.

Liu Piaopiao brought a cup of tea over and said softly: "The tea was brewed before you came to the study, and it is not hot." ”

Yuan Shixin bowed slightly, took the teacup with one hand, handed over the booklet in the other hand and said, "Look at this, if you don't have any ideas, just follow this." ”

Liu Piaopiao took the booklet with a puzzled face, opened it, and understood Yuan Shixin's intentions.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she leaned lightly beside Yuan Shixin, looking carefully at the booklet in her hand.

Yuan Shixin drank all the tea in the cup, then put the teacup on the desk, and said slowly: "Actually, I want you to help De'er, I also have a thought, one is to give you a chance to get along with De'er, although the fact that you are my woman has never been made public, but the vast majority of people in the palace know about it, and De'er is naturally no exception, I just want to see what kind of attitude he has towards you." ”

Liu Piaopiao said "um", and said softly: "Your Majesty, in fact, De'er respects me very much, but I am careful." ”

Yuan Shixin nodded and smiled: "Women, be careful." ”

Then he said: "He is my son, and I naturally understand his temperament. Everyone has secrets, and he is no exception, but I don't like him to hide it from me. If you hadn't told me about the shadow, I'm afraid that I would still be kept in the dark by him. ”

Yuan Shixin tapped his fingers on the armrest and continued: "He has capable people to help me, and I am naturally happy in my heart, but I don't want him to be used by someone with a heart, hurt the harmony of his father and son, and then be taken advantage of in vain." ”

Liu Piaopiao had already closed the booklet in his hand, inserted it into his arms, and said, "It's me who is incompetent and failed to find out the details of that person." ”

Yuan Shixin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I've already mentioned De'er before, and I believe he will know how to do it." ”

Stretching out his hand and pointing to the wooden box on the desk, Yuan Shixin shook his head and said: "Although I tried my best to break the foundation of the Sima clan and get this heirloom jade seal, the princes and kings of other states may not obey my orders. ”

Liu Piaopiao got up, picked up the wooden box and opened it, looked at it a few times and said: "It turns out that this is the heirloom jade seal, and there is nothing special, who can be the emperor himself?"

Yuan Shixin smiled lightly: "You don't understand this, this jade seal is the first emperor in ancient times to use the He's bi to make, the front is engraved with 'Ordered by the heavens and longevity Yongchang' eight insects and birds to prove the king's mandate of heaven." In fact, what you said is not unreasonable, but Ying Zheng is the first emperor after all, this jade seal was engraved by him, the meaning is different, if you find a piece of beautiful jade to re-engrave one, although it is not impossible, but it will eventually become a laughing stock. Back then, the ancestor of the previous dynasty took the lead in breaking through Xianyang and obtained this thing, and the princes from all walks of life responded one after another, and the invincible overlord of Chu lost his time, and finally killed himself with hatred. Therefore, I was the first to get this thing, and it was also the destiny of heaven. ”

Liu Piaopiao naturally knew about the old things of the past dynasty that Yuan Shixin told, but in front of this man, it would be more appropriate to be stupid.

After hearing what Yuan Shixin said, she chuckled and said, "Since this thing is so important, Your Majesty must keep it." ”

Yuan Shixin smiled: "Then how about leaving it to you for safekeeping?"

Liu Piaopiao waved his hand again and again: "I don't, if this thing is handed over to me for safekeeping, then I won't be able to sleep." ”

Then he said curiously: "Your Majesty, since this thing is so important, how did you get it?" Since the fire in the palace has burned the little emperor to death, this jade seal ......."

Yuan Shixin chuckled and said: "The palace is full of my people, it is not difficult for me to get the jade seal, this emperor, you don't need to carry this thing with you." As for the little emperor, he may not have been burned to death. ”

Liu Piaopiao was shocked in her heart, and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"

Yuan Shixin sneered: "This matter can be regarded as a face for me to give Huo Xingwei and repay him for the kindness he brought into Luoyue City back then." As for the little emperor, in my eyes, it makes no difference whether he dies or not, I say that he was burned to death, and he was burned to death. ”

Then he snorted lightly and said, "Cao Ning can be so loyal to me, and it is also his Huo Xingwei's arrangement." With Cao Ning in Luoyue City, it is still very easy to send a few people away. ”

Liu Piaopiao was puzzled: "Then Your Majesty still uses Cao Ning so much?"

Yuan Shixin said with a smile: "This way of the emperor is the way to control people, I tell you that Cao Ning will be more loyal to me than others at the moment, this is my confidence." ”

Liu Piaopiao shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm a woman, I really don't understand." ”

After finishing putting the box away, she asked: "Your Majesty, this thing was brought to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the palace, if it is known, someone will definitely make a big fuss about it, saying that Your Majesty has premeditated, and it will inevitably cause criticism." ”

Yuan Shixin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, that person has already killed himself after sending the jade seal to me." ”

Liu Piaopiao was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is in a bit of a hurry?"

Yuan Shixin shook his head and said, "This person did not die of persecution, but he chose to commit suicide because he felt sorry for the Sima clan." ”

Then he sighed: "Speaking of which, I still admire this person, if he can keep a secret, it would be a pity to give him the position of chief of internal affairs." ”

Liu Piaopiao took a few steps forward, leaned against Yuan Shixin's side and asked softly, "When is Your Majesty going to ascend the throne?"

Yuan Shixin pondered: "Three days later, I will lead hundreds of civil and military officials to the palace, and at that time, there will naturally be people who support me to sit on the dragon chair." ”

"...... in three days"

Liu Piaopiao thought for a while and said, "Then I'll bring Yu'er back tomorrow, okay?"

Yuan Shixin nodded and said, "It's okay, speaking of which, I haven't seen Yu'er for more than half a year, and I miss it very much in my heart." ”

After speaking, he took out a token from his arms, handed it to Liu Piaopiao and said: "This brand will be put here for you, this five thousand black horses are my last hole card, and it is also my biggest reliance in Luoyue City, Piaopiao, you are the most beloved woman in my life, and the person I am most at ease with is you, I believe that with this brand in your hands, Yu'er here, you can also rest assured." ”

Liu Piaopiao took the token from Yuan Shixin's hand, knelt down in front of Yuan Shixin's knee, and cried silently on his lap.

Yuan Shixin's hand rested on Liu Piaopiao's head, and he just watched her cry.

——————

This time he rushed to Luoyue City, but Yuan Bingde did not put him in the car of the king side by side.

The Great Jin Dynasty is dead, and he, the side by side king, naturally can't be the king.

Things went so smoothly that Yuan Bingde did not expect.

As soon as he returned to Yangzhou, he received an urgent secret letter sent by Yuan Shixin, and he didn't want to think about it, so he took someone to Luoyue City again.

Riding with him was his son, Yuan Chengzhi.

After arriving in Yangzhou, Zuo Youzuo led the three junior disciples back to Baijian Pavilion, while He Jian stayed at the invitation of Yuan Bingde.

But He put forward one condition.

He wants to compete with Sui Xing.

Yuan Bingde agreed to his request.

It was not he who agreed in private, but Sui Xing himself agreed.

Sui Xing also told him that there would be no more shadows in the future, only Yuan Bingde guarding Sui Xing.

However, Sui Xing also made a request to He Zhen.

If He Yan loses, he will need to serve Yuan Bingde for ten years.

Yuan Bingde didn't know about this request mentioned by Sui Xing.

He Zhen, who was obsessed with practicing swords, agreed.

No one could see the story of the sword competition, and the two of them also tacitly kept silent about winning or losing.

However, after that, He Zhen, like Sui Xing, became the guard in front of Yuan Bingde.

In fact, this sword match is counted as ending in a draw.

However, He Zhen said that he lost.

He kept his promise and became Yuan Bingde's personal guard.

can get He Zhen's sincere service, Yuan Bingde, who doesn't know what happened, is naturally ecstatic.

However, he could guess that this matter must be related to Sui Xing.

Sui Xing knew that He Jian was willing to stay so that he could one day defeat him with a sword.

However, Sui Xing also firmly believes that this day will not come so easily.

Even if He Zhen's sword could be faster than his sword?

He would have won in another way.

This is the arrogance of his position as a disciple of the Xuanyi Sect.

Although he is no longer a disciple of the Xuanyi Sect.

Sui Xing had secretly compared himself with Qin Xu, although he was unconvinced, he still thought that he was slightly inferior to Qin Xu.

He is better at concealment and assassination, which is beyond Qin Xuan's reach.

Yuan Bingde in the carriage opened his mouth and asked, "Sui Xing, how far is it from Luoyue City?"

The person driving was Sui Xing, while He Jian was holding a long sword and sitting cross-legged on the other side.

Sui Xing turned his head sideways and said, "Your Majesty, there is still one day to go." ”

Yuan Chengzhi gently tugged at Yuan Bingde's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Father, what's wrong? Didn't we just go back to Yangzhou? Why did we rush to Luoyue City in such a hurry?

Yuan Bingde sighed and said: "Zhi'er, there was an accident in the palace, there was a fire in the palace, and your grandmother and her old man have been buried in the fire." ”

Yuan Chengzhi didn't have a good impression of this old woman who treated him coldly, and after listening to Yuan Bingde, he didn't show any sad look, but muttered in a low voice: "I was already terminally ill, and if I burned it, it would be a hundred times." ”

Yuan Bingde glanced at his son, rubbed his head, and then reprimanded: "Zhi'er, if you think about things, you have to learn to think more." ”

Yuan Chengzhi was puzzled and said: "Father, you are in such a hurry to rush to Luoyue City, aren't you going to the funeral? After all, the queen mother of the queen mother." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Chengzhi slapped his forehead and hurriedly asked, "Father, what about the mother, will she be fine?"

Yuan Bingde held Yuan Chengzhi's hand tightly, turned his head to the side and said: "Your mother and His Majesty the Emperor are missing, some people say that on the day of the fire in the Queen of Heaven's bedroom, His Majesty and your mother were in the Queen Mother's bedroom, only afraid, only afraid of ......"

Yuan Bingde couldn't say any more, blocked his eyes with his other hand, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Yuan Chengzhi panicked, hurriedly leaned in front of Yuan Bingde, and whispered: "Father, no, didn't you say that the mother concubine is missing? ”

Yuan Bingde, who took a few deep breaths, took Yuan Chengzhi into his arms and whispered, "I hope so!"

After speaking, he patted Yuan Chengzhi's shoulder and said, "Zhi'er, you are not young anymore, my father hopes that you can be stronger, can you do it?"

Yuan Chengzhi, whose eyes were already red, nodded heavily, and then asked in a low voice, "Father, are you saying that my cousin, who is the emperor, may also be burned to death?"

Yuan Bingde nodded, sighed and said: "For this reason, your grandfather is also very anxious, the country cannot be without a king for a day, there is such a big thing in the palace, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are staring at your grandfather, after all, he is the Xiangguo, the existence of ten thousand people under one person." ”

Yuan Chengzhi blinked, then raised his head and said, "Then let grandpa be the emperor." ”

Yuan Bingde glared at Yuan Chengzhi and said, "How can you talk so nonsense and say such rebellious words, if you let others listen to it, it will bring trouble to our Yuan family." ”

Yuan Chengzhi said indifferently: "Father, there are only you and me in this carriage, and Uncle Sui and Commander He who are driving are all your people, so naturally no one else can hear it." You also said that grandpa is a Xiangguo above 10,000 people under one person, but now that this person is burned to death, isn't grandpa above 10,000 people?"

Then he whispered: "Father, I'm not young, I know a lot of things, don't worry, Zhi'er will definitely fight for you." ”

Yuan Bingde smiled, looked at Yuan Chengzhi, who was swearing, and asked, "How did you know these things?"

Yuan Chengzhi pointed to his head and said: "What I think about here, besides, the children's books are not read in vain, and the children's favorite books are the "Historical Records" written by Tai Shigong." ”

Yuan Bingde chuckled and asked, "Oh? Speaking of which, your father has never tested your homework, and now that you have nothing to do, how about your father come to test you?"

Yuan Chengzhi nodded and said, "Father, please ask, the child will try his best to answer, but if the child can't answer, the father should not hit the child's palm." ”

Yuan Bingde pondered for a moment and said: "Since you like the father of the "Historical Records" and ask you, it is appropriate for Taishi Gong to comment on the Marquis of Huaiyin. ”

Yuan Chengzhi shook his head and said: "The child has read the "Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin" several times, and I think that Taishi Gong's article is well written, but the comments on the Marquis of Huaiyin are a little anticlimactic. ”

Yuan Bingde continued to ask: "Why do you think so? Let my father see if my Zhi'er is trustworthy or justified. ”

Yuan Chengzhi was unconvinced and said: "Father, I'm not a fool, you listen to me." This Tai Shi Gong is a Han Chen, and if the emperor doesn't like to hear it, he naturally can't say much, according to the child's view, it is Tai Shi Gong who wants to say it but doesn't dare to say it. As for the Marquis of Huaiyin, he may not really have any objections, at most he died from the words 'meritorious master'. ”

Yuan Bingde asked again: "Then the father asked you, what if you are the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

Yuan Chengzhi thought for a while and said: "The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey cooks, the doctor is not as smart as Tao Zhugong, but the child is not as good as anyone, I am the son of my father, only the child can cure people, but the child will not cure people." ”

Yuan Bingde's eyes shrank and patted Yuan Chengzhi's shoulder.

In the end, there is Sima's blood flowing in his body.

Yuan Shixin asked him at the beginning, Sima Ruolan's death would not affect the overall situation.

But he still chose to take Sima Ruolan to Luoyue City and leave her in the palace.

It's just a woman, what is it compared to that dragon chair?

How can a princess of the former dynasty be a queen?

Besides, in his heart, this good-looking Sima Ruolan is just good-looking.

In this world, there is more than one face for good-looking people.

Yuan Bingde remembered the woman.

The new "lover", Liu Weiwei.

Liu Piaopiao finally handed over this brand, and Yuan Bingde could even guess why Liu Piaopiao was willing to hand over this brand.

Yuan Bingde didn't expect Yuan Shixin to really choose Liliu Piaopiao as the queen.

Not long ago, he heard his father say that Liu Piaopiao could not be canonized as a queen.

With Liu Piaopiao's background, isn't this a big joke in the world?

Yuan Bingde felt that his father must have been fascinated by ghosts.

And this ghost is that woman.

Yuan Bingde wanted to tell his father what happened in his heart, but he didn't dare.

My father loved that woman too much.

Besides, that incident can also be used as a killer weapon in his hands.

When Yuan Bingde saw the words of not appointing the prince from Yuan Shixin's secret letter, he almost wanted to lead Yangzhou's soldiers and horses to Luoyue City.

Why not crown a prince?

Is he Yuan Bingde not doing enough?

Or is it because his son still has Sima's blood?

Even the child he had worked so hard to find out was no longer hiding from him, and he had to arrange a brotherly meeting.

Yuan Bingde's eyes showed a fierce light, and his five fingers unconsciously grabbed hard.

Yuan Chengzhi, whose shoulder was grabbed by Yuan Bingde, whispered: "It hurts, father, it hurts!"

Yuan Bingde, who came back to his senses, let go of his hand, patted Yuan Chengzhi's shoulder and said, "Yes, the shoulders are already so wide, I can hold up a piece of the sky for my father." ”

Then he asked: "Zhi'er, since you said that you want to govern people, if the Marquis of Huaiyin is your subordinate, how should you treat him?"

Yuan Chengzhi tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "I will give him high-ranking officials, but I will not give him military power, otherwise he will be a scourge sooner or later if he supports his own troops." ”

Yuan Bingde nodded, smiled and asked, "Then do you think Dajin is so good?"

Yuan Chengzhi shook his head and did not speak.

Yuan Bingde encouraged: "It's okay, just say what you have to say, Zhi'er, if your grandfather becomes the emperor, what if the other princes and kings don't obey your grandfather's orders?"

Yuan Chengzhi clenched his fists and snorted lightly: "Then hit him until he is obedient!"

Yuan Bingde shook his head slightly and said: "Is it okay to just be obedient? But what if he is disobedient again next time? Could it be that we have to send troops to fight again?

Yuan Chengzhi lowered his head, pondered for a moment and said, "Then replace him, but Father, what if you change someone again and you are not obedient?

Yuan Bingde asked rhetorically, "Why can't it?"

Yuan Chengzhi pursed his lips and thought for a while and said: "Father, but if they have been obedient, we have no reason to change them, after all, the one who can guard one side must be my humerus, wouldn't it chill everyone's hearts if they do this?"

Yuan Bingde smiled and said: "It's good that you have such an idea, the sage has a word, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, and it is naturally not okay for the monarch to go his own way." ”

Yuan Chengzhi scratched his head and said, "Father, what do you say?"

Yuan Bingde said with a smile: "What my father said about the change is not to remove them, but to let them be rotated from one state to another to become officials. As for the title of 'king', it can't be rewarded casually. If you want to be a 'king', you can find a fief at random and let them go to be a free prince, as for this official position, it will have nothing to do with them. ”

Yuan Chengzhi thought for a while and said, "Father means that he wants to follow the official system of the Han Dynasty?"

Yuan Bingde nodded and said: "Father does have this idea, this matter will be discussed after meeting your grandfather, after all, only Yu and Yang are in our hands at the moment." ”

Outside the carriage, the corners of Sui Xing's mouth raised, and he looked at He Zhen, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said with a smile: "Hey, surnamed He, since you think you lost, why don't you come to catch the car?"

He Zhen turned his head and glanced at Sui Xing coldly, "There is no this!"

Sui Xing smiled lightly, why don't you use this as a prize for the next sword competition?

He flicked his thumb.

The sword groaned.
