Congratulations on opening the coffin

Su Minglan is a smart woman, she understood Shen Ruo's meaning after a little thought, her face turned pale for a moment, obviously she remembered the last time she asked Shen Ruo to come over to treat her illness, and not long after, Emperor Xiao came to fetch her in person .

Although she has been chanting scriptures and Buddha these days, she still hasn't reached the level of Taoism in the end, so she glared at Shen Ruo with a little anger: "Are you showing off to me?"

Obviously she is Emperor Xiao's queen, but she can't influence his decision, and she has to ask others for help.

Shen Ruo strode into a chair, stretched her back back, leaned on the back of the chair, and rested her chin with one hand: "If you insist on thinking so, I won't refuse."

She originally wanted to remind him tactfully, but the other party insisted on thinking the worst, and then threatened her, so she couldn't stop her, right?
Anyway, she is the one who is being asked for help now, so she doesn't have to rush to show a good face.

Last time, she kindly cured Su Minglan's illness, but instead of being thanked, she got herself into trouble. She will not do such a stupid thing again.

If she didn't happen to want to enter the palace, Su Minglan wouldn't be able to invite her.

Obviously, the other party also understood this reason. Even if she was about to piss herself off, she could only grit her teeth and bear it in the end. She didn't want to explain slowly, so she said in one go: "The emperor wants to take the imperial conquest, you want you Persuade the emperor to change his mind."

Driving in person?

This made Shen Ruo a little unexpected: "I just want to execute a princess who made a mistake, what about Yelang Kingdom?"

"In short, the eldest prince of the Yelang Kingdom was very firm. He demanded to release the princess and restore her concubine. The emperor would certainly not agree, so the Yelang kingdom dispatched troops and horses overnight as a threat. The emperor I am very angry, at the early court today, the emperor has even said that if the two countries go to war, he will personally lead the conquest."

After listening to these brief explanations, Shen Ruo supported his head in boredom, and then slowly said: "I think the emperor did the right thing, this Yelang country is so arrogant, it's time to teach them a lesson."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your Majesty is not King Jing. He has never been on a battlefield, let alone martial arts. How dangerous would it be for him to go on a personal conquest? If something happens, what will the Xiao Kingdom do? What will the people of the whole country do?"

Just as Su Minglan sternly refuted Shen Ruo's remarks, another deep and majestic voice came from the door: "This is also my business, it has nothing to do with Shen Ruo, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Your Majesty..."

Su Minglan didn't expect him to come so soon, she was delighted by that handsome face, but thinking of his purpose for coming here, her heart became cold in an instant, "Your Majesty, this concubine is all for you. "

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Didn't Su Guogong teach you?"

That icy voice was like knives, cutting Su Minglan's heart. She was pale, and she was about to cry. She wanted to say something more, but Xiaodi cut him off, "Enough, I don't have time to listen." You are talking nonsense, since you said you want to recite the Buddha's name sincerely, then you should recite it carefully, these dusty things are not something you should think about."

"..." Is this to depose the real power of her queen?
Su Minglan could only understand in this way, but before she could ask, Xiao Emperor, who was cruel and ruthless to her, when facing the moon-white woman on the chair, his whole expression softened a lot: "I will send you out of the palace."

After that, he didn't even look at her any more, and left with the people.

"Ma'am...?"

Court lady Lianxiang saw her looking at the back of the two leaving for a long time, her whole body seemed to be trembling, so she couldn't help calling her out worriedly.

"Did you see? He doesn't even want to pretend in front of me anymore! Could it be that a substitute died, and he can't hold back any longer, and wants to bring the real person into the palace?"

Hearing the grief-stricken complaint, Lian Xiang hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to answer.

Su Minglan clenched the Buddhist bead in her hand tightly, pinching it harder and harder, "He doesn't even think about it, as long as I'm still alive, as long as I'm still the queen, Shen Ruo won't even think about entering the palace for a day!"

Crash, the round beads burst and rolled to the ground.

In this room, Shen Ruo had just left Kunning Palace with Emperor Xiao, and when he turned a corner, he was suddenly grabbed by the hand: "Are you all right? The Empress didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

Shen Ruo looked around first, and it was in a blind spot where people could hardly see people coming and going. She was speechless before answering his question: "What do you think? The queen's slender arms and legs, who can hold How about me? If you come out like this, I'm afraid it will make her very angry."

In fact, she could understand what the queen did to her, but she just felt a little annoying, and never blamed her.

She sighed: "After all, she is the emperor's first wife, so it's not good for you to treat her like this?"

"Could it be that you think I'm nice to other women?" Xiao Chen raised his brows, and his tone instantly became chilly.

"..." She was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen's tone softened a bit: "You don't have to worry about this, I know it well."

Shen Ruo looked at him with small eyes, are you sure?
"You should have heard about Yelang Kingdom's use of force to suppress the situation. Those useless old guys in the court were really frightened and softened. They all wanted to calm things down, and Su Guogong was the leader among them."

"Seeing that the officials couldn't persuade me, I asked Su Minglan to persuade me. After a few times, I told her not to be involved in politics in the harem. When she arrived, she said that she would eat fast and chant Buddha's name from now on, so that the ancestors would show their spirits, and told me not to continue to go my own way. , and even brought you here."

When mentioning the absurd things that happened in the past few days, Xiao Chen sneered a few times angrily.

Shen Ruo nodded clearly: "Then if the two countries really go to war, how sure are you?"

"Eighty percent."

It's not [-]%?

On the contrary, Shen Ruo raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Xiao Chen seemed to see what she was thinking, and carefully explained to her: "Yelang Kingdom has taken advantage of our country's endless wars with Khitan in these years to develop a way to recuperate and recuperate. His country is rich in real estate, and it has developed well."

"If it wasn't for the dispute with the Yelang Kingdom this time, we would have almost ignored him. No wonder he is so arrogant now. He obviously wants to challenge the Xiao Kingdom's position as the overlord of the Central Plains step by step. There will be a second and a third time, but those idiots can't see the situation clearly, and they still try to make peace by making concessions, it's really stupid."

Shen Ruo smiled lightly: "They are not stupid. If they want to fight, they must consume the national treasury. If they win, it's okay. If they lose, there will be turmoil in the court. It will affect their good life at that time. As for death After that, who cares about the flood?"

Xiao Chen shook her hand: "So, you support me?"

"Of course. And this battle is not [-]% sure, but [-]% sure."

Shen Ruo smiled slightly back, "Because, I will go with you."
