"Oh, I said cousin, why are you still here, something big happened in the court, and Your Majesty has appointed the grandson as the prince. Xiao Yunfei, who was looking for it, said in a hurry when he saw his popularity.

"What did you say?"

"When did this happen?"

Xiahou Shuang and Xiao Xinrong asked in shock at the same time.

"In the early days, I heard that it was the queen who read it directly with the holy decree, and some people questioned that she was dismissed on the spot, and then several ministers of the court went to visit Your Majesty, and after seeing Your Majesty, it was certain that this matter was true. ”

Xiao Yunfei has always been lazy, what kind of early dynasty did he go to, and when he got the news, everything was already settled, looking for his cousin everywhere, and heard about what happened last night, so he came to Xiahou Mansion.

The corners of Xiao Xinrong's lips were pursed, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, if his father wanted to set up a grandson, why did he have an accident on his side, but he hurriedly issued an edict over there, could it be that someone made trouble from it?

"You go back and look at Sheng'er, I'll go into the palace. Without hesitation, Xiao Xinrong left in a hurry.

Xiahou Shuang was anxious and had no choice, and after a while, everyone in Xiahou Mansion learned that the grandson was made the prince, and Xiao Xinrong, who was most likely to ascend the throne, missed it, and everyone gathered in Cuizhuxuan again.

"Shuang'er, I heard that His Majesty passed the throne to the crown grandson?" asked Xiahou Lin, who arrived in a hurry, with a look of disbelief.

Xiahou Shuang nodded slowly, and said to the old lady and Xiahou Xuan and the others who came later: "The prince and I have just received the news that the prince has entered the palace. ”

Xiahou Xuan couldn't help but punch his right hand with his left hand, and said regretfully: "The prince has great military merits, and he has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion this time, and he is a rare candidate for the Ming monarch, is Your Majesty sick and confused?"

"Xuan'er!" the old lady said disapprovingly: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"I ...... Alas......" Xiahou stomped his feet anxiously.

"Frost girl, don't be too upset, some things are destined not to be forced!" said the old lady with an unknown meaning.

Xiahou Shuang's heart sank and nodded.

The ancestors of Xiahou Mansion followed the first emperor with a knife and a gun, and Xiahou Mansion has guarded the country's border fortresses for generations, and has never had two hearts to the royal family.

Grandmother's words were a reminder to herself that if His Majesty personally gave her will, she should only obey it, and not think of thoughts that she should not have.

"Okay, let's all go back, since the prince has entered the palace, presumably things will be clear soon, let's not delay the frost girl to rest. The old lady gave the order to evict the guests, and everyone had to leave.

After everyone left, Xiahou Shuang sat on the chair, with indescribable boredom and exhaustion in her heart, she understood that although Xiao Xinrong did not have the heart to compete for the position, but the credit of so many years was not worth a little yellow-haired boy, she would definitely be in her heart, Xiahou Shuang was upset for Xiao Xinrong.

If it was really His Majesty's will, Xiahou Shuang was worried about Xiao Xinrong, and he didn't know that he might be able to bear this result in his heart.

Xiao Xinrong hurriedly came to the palace, Empress Chen had already received the news when he stepped into the palace gate, with a hint of ridicule on the corner of her lips, just waiting for you to come!

The morning sun shone on Xiao Xinrong's body, and his whole body was shrouded in sunlight, like a god of war in a cloak, and he walked in from a distance.

When Xiao Xinrong approached, he saw the queen standing outside the palace, his eyebrows were frowned, the center of his eyebrows was wrinkled, and the outline of his face was covered with a layer of shadows, deep and sharp, oppressive and breathless.

Empress Chen heard him say, "Erchen wants to see his father. ”

"Your father has been talking about you for a long time since he woke up, and he is waiting for you to come. "Queen Chen under the sun painted exquisite makeup, looking particularly dignified and luxurious, with a motherly smile on her face, I don't know how harmonious the two are.

"Thank you for telling the queen mother, and the son will go in to see his father. Xiao Xinrong strode into the hall.

Empress Chen looked at his departing back, with a hint of mockery on the corner of her lips.

"Imperial grandmother, the second imperial uncle won't see any flaws, right?" asked the grandson who flashed out of the side hall uneasily.

"What can you see? He is not a god! What's more, what we have done is seamless, and the jade seal has already arrived in our hands, can he still question whether the holy decree is false or not!"

"Wouldn't it be better if this was the case, just if you couldn't catch him, it wouldn't be appropriate if you didn't accept the gift sent to the door, if you take him, it will be a congratulatory gift for your enthronement!" Empress Chen was excited, and a gleam flashed in her eyes, as if she had spit poison.

Xiao Xinrong stepped into the Chaohe Palace in a dull mood, the palace maids who came and went in the palace knelt down and saluted when they saw him, a large bed was placed in the depths of the palace, and the bed was surrounded by imperial doctors, and when they saw Xiao Xinrong, they all got out of the way.

"How did Father become like this?" There was an old man with gray hair lying on the bed with half-squinted eyes as if he was sleeping, but today's face was very different, one eye was tilted downward, the corners of the mouth on the same side were skimmed down, and saliva flowed from the corners of his lips from time to time.

Imperial Doctor Chen, the head of the doctor, said in a panic: "Your Majesty has already shown signs of a stroke after waking up, and the ministers are incompetent and have failed to control Your Majesty's condition. ”

"I don't blame you. Xiao Xinrong knew in his heart that his father had always been physically strong, and this time King Chen's incident gave him a heavy blow, and this became like this after repeatedly.

Xiao Xinrong sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Emperor Xuanhua carefully, as if he felt that he was coming, and Emperor Xuanhua opened his eyes at this time.

After trying to see the person in front of the bed clearly, Emperor Xuanhua waved his hands desperately, and the sound of ah-ah came out of his mouth, as if there were a thousand words, but he couldn't say a word.

"Father!" Xiao Xinrong was distressed and helpless in the face of illness.

Emperor Xuanhua was tired of waving his hand, so he had to put it down, staring at Xiao Xinrong tightly with a pair of eyes, Xiao Xinrong nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely protect the rivers and mountains of the Great Xia Kingdom, and don't give foreign enemies half a chance to invade!"

Emperor Xuanhua squirmed his head and seemed to nod, and a cloudy tear flowed down the corner of his eye.

"How long will it take for my father to recover?" Xiao Xinrong knew in his heart that he might not be better this time.

"The imperial doctor said to recuperate, maybe there will be a chance to speak. Empress Chen came in from outside and said with a worried expression.

"After working hard for the queen mother to take care of her father, the sons remembered that they still had some things to do, so they retired first. ”

Looking at his distant back, Empress Chen showed a satisfied smile, what if you see it, things have become settled, can you still hold illusions!

Emperor, don't blame the queen mother for being too ruthless, you only complain that you didn't open your eyes and married Xiahou Shuang, you husband and wife are against the queen mother everywhere, and the queen mother has no choice but to choose the grandson.
