Chapter 73
Just as Yun Ni walked out of the yard, a group of men in black descended from the sky.The men in black were all solemn, and they could tell they were killers at a glance.And this place is Nanchang Kingdom, so it is clear who these killers belong to.Yun Ni stared at each other, taking precautions, and suddenly felt that she was under attack.
Someone ran out from behind, it was Zhongli.
Zhongli quietly looked at the several black-clothed killers, but his face did not change.
"The empress ordered me to bring her into the palace. You won't let us not be able to communicate with each other." One of the men in black said, obviously not wanting to fight with everyone.
The crowd remained calm and said quietly, "Of course I will apologize to His Majesty."
"Are you trying to resist the decree!" The man in black shouted sharply, seeing his tough attitude and not letting go, his sharp eyes glanced at the companions around him, and shouted coldly, "Take it away!"
"Who dares to do it!" Zhong Li shouted, and a cold edge burst out from his whole body.
The black-clothed killer hesitated, looked at each other, and still stepped forward to strike.A series of black shadows quickly entangled with Yun Ni, rolling up flying sand all over the sky, but the two fists could not resist the siege of many people, Yun Ni gradually lost the battle.She pursed her lips, as arrogant as a bird that didn't return, maybe she never thought of leaving alive.
Zhongli's eyes froze, his powerful arms turned backwards, and he grabbed the sword on the ground with the palm of his hand.His slender body was like a gust of wind, rushing into the siege in an instant.
"Sword!" He shouted in a deep voice, and Yun Ni took the sharp sword thrown by him with one hand.
For a moment, he stood back to back with her, one holding a sword and the other holding a knife, calmly dealing with the killers around.Although the situation is urgent, they have no fear at all.It's just like returning to the past, they are the most trusted subordinates of the master, they are the right arm of the master, and they are partners who cooperate seamlessly.
"You actually betrayed Her Majesty the Empress!"
"Old rules." Yun Ni heard the male voice in her ear, she was a little confused, and nodded in annoyance.
The two reached a consensus, and fought alone with the black-clothed killer.
There was a flash of sword light and sword shadow, his sword swirled, her sword energy swept across, and the killers around fell down one after another, bleeding all over the ground.
"Let's go!" Zhong Li frowned and said, grabbed Yun Ni's hand and jumped away.
Yun Ni was grabbed by his arm and ran towards the outside of the capital, silently.
Ahead was the city gate, and Zhongli bought another horse from a horse dealer.He turned his hand and put the rein in her hand, and only said two words, "Go!"
Yun Ni stared at the rein in her hand, and didn't regain her senses for a long time.
"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you leave quickly?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhong Li's tone suddenly became more serious.
At this moment, Yun Ni's heart was churning with turbulent waves, which could no longer be calmed down.She looked up at him and said softly, "Come with me." If he let her go, Her Majesty the Queen would not spare him.If Xi Zuo had a double heart, the end would definitely be death, he wouldn't be unaware!
"I won't go!" He refused without hesitation.
Yun Ni frowned melancholy, engraved his appearance into her mind, and said again, "There is no longer any room for you here."
Zhongli was resolute and carefully said his words, "This is my country!"
nation……
Yun Ni was awakened by his words, yes, this is his country, how could he give it up.
"Let's go!" Zhongli couldn't help but help her onto the horse.He took his horse and hurried towards the gate of the capital.
Just as they were about to leave the city, countless soldiers rushed out, surrounded and intercepted the two of them.

Nanchang Kingdom Palace
"Go in!" The soldiers brutally pressed the two of them into the dungeon, and the heavy chains locked them.
In the dark and cold sky prison, the smell of blood became more and more solemn. If ordinary people smelled it, they would definitely feel sick.Both Zhongli and Yunni were bound by chains, unable to move at all.The iron chains under his feet weighed tens of kilograms, making it difficult to walk, let alone escape.
"Hah—" a mouse slid past.
Yun Ni fell to the wall, her eyes were indifferent, "You should kill me."
Zhongli looked down at the messy ground without saying a word.
Suddenly, the prison door was opened by the jailer, and a faint fragrance wafted away.
"Long live, long live, long live, Her Majesty the Queen!"
Surrounded by guards and dressed in a golden jacket, Her Majesty the Empress came slowly.The years seem to have taken great care of her, and did not leave many marks on her face, she is still youthful.And when she glanced and smiled, she was full of aura, not losing to the King of War.
This is the first time Yun Ni saw the Queen of Nanchang Kingdom.
In the past, I only heard that there was a female emperor in Nanchang, but I never saw the real face of the female emperor.
Finally saw it today!
Just why do you feel a little familiar?
The queen walked into the cell, her cold eyes swept across the two of them, and her eyes stopped on Yun Ni, "You are Yun Ni, the confidant guard of the King of War."
Yun Ni just stared at her without responding.
"Come on!" the queen shouted with a smile.
Immediately a guard came out, but walked towards Zhongli.He took out a dagger, grabbed Zhongli's arm and cut it.Zhong Li didn't resist, and let him move.The guard took out another small bottle, uncapped the bottle, a gu quickly entered the cut wound, and the black shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yun Ni was shocked, but the long-term training kept her calm.
"Ah!" Zhongli snorted, suddenly the pain in his body was unbearable, and he fell to the ground and could not afford to crawl.
Seeing him like this, Yun Ni could no longer calm down and said, "If you want to kill, kill!"
Zhongli was tortured and destroyed by Gu, like a sword being insulted, nibbling away bit by bit, his body curled up into a painful ball, he really couldn't live but couldn't die.
"Yun Huwei, I will not kill you, nor will I hurt you." The Queen said quietly, exhaling Ruolan, "But I have something to ask of Yun Huwei."
Yun Ni said arrogantly, "I will never betray my master!"
"I know you are loyal to protect the lord." The queen raised her lips, "I only want you to kill Dong Xuanyi."
"Why!" Yun Ni was stunned, could it be that the empress also had some hatred for her master?
Empress Lirong became more and more calm, a little unearthly, "Will you agree?"
"No!" Yun Ni blurted out without thinking.
The queen has always loved Xuan Yi, and for Xuan Yi's sake, she did not hesitate to fall out with her master.If something happened to Xuan Yi, how should the master explain it to the queen?Next, she knows very well how the master treats Xuan Yi, it is absolutely impossible for her to kill Xiao Xuan Yi!
"Ah—" Zhongli spat out a mouthful of blood, and rolled on the ground.
Yun Ni was anxious, and wanted to run to him, but was held down by the jailer, unable to move.Ke Zhongli's painful expression was deeply reflected in her eyes, she couldn't bear to look at it, so she had to turn her head to look elsewhere.His struggling and moaning kept echoing in her ears, piercing her heart one after another.
She is a killer, he is an enemy, she should not be soft-hearted, not soft-hearted!
"This Gu was cultivated by the mages of the Western Regions. No one in the world can cure it except the mages." The queen stared at it coldly, and said calmly, "But don't worry, he can live for at least half a year. But he will get sick once a month. Every time he gets sick, he will be in pain. He will not die until half a year later, when the Gu eats up all the internal organs in his body."
Yun Ni was startled when she heard that, and looked at her coldly, "Her Majesty is so cruel."
"Then do you agree or not?" the queen asked again.
"No!" Yun Ni gritted her teeth and said, "I am the guard of the King of War, why should I save him!"
Zhongli let out a low growl, as if heart-piercing, he slammed his head against the wall.The jailer hurried forward, but he had already hit his head badly.When resisting, something fell from his clothes.
It turned out to be a pink paper bag.
Yun Ni recognized the pink paper bag, and even more remembered the line written by herself on the paper bag.
In the same body as you, this life wish is enough.She murmured silently in her heart, her eyes sore for a while.
"If you don't agree, then I will kill him immediately." The queen said patiently, "After all, he is here to protect you!"
With confused thoughts, Yun Ni had no choice but to delay the attack, "Okay! I agree!"
The queen smiled with satisfaction, and said quietly, "Guardian Yun, don't pretend to agree. If something happens to me, everyone will die."
……
It was already sunset, and the birds and beasts dispersed one after another.The sunset glow against the sky is gorgeous and magnificent.
At the side entrance of the palace, a carriage "clacked" out.
In the carriage, a woman got off.
Yun Ni walked alone on the desolate avenue, feeling empty in her heart.

Shengxin Dynasty
The warm sun melts the winter ice and snow, and the capital is soaked in ticking snow.
A mighty team of envoys from the Nanchang Kingdom came from the post house, bringing countless gold and silver treasures to show their sincerity.On the white pony in front, the envoy in court uniform was Gu Xin'er.Although she is dressed like a man, she is not half heroic, and her whole body is full of enchanting postures, which are alluring.
Enter through the Wuzhong Gate, and follow the guards towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers of civil and military affairs stood on the left and right, and the atmosphere was quiet and solemn.
The two leading ministers are the Regent Feng Zhanxiu, and the current Prime Minister Gongsun Qingming.
The new emperor Xuanyi, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, sits on a dragon chair.His small body and cute face seemed out of tune with the atmosphere of the government and the public.He blinked his big eyes, and with the heavy imperial crown on his head, he pursed his mouth unhappily.But as the blood of the emperor's family, it has its own majesty.
"The envoy sees—" The eunuch's communication sounded outside the hall.
Under the watchful eyes of the officials, Gu Xiner walked into the hall slowly.
When the ministers saw that it was a woman, they couldn't help laughing in their hearts.But thinking that Nanchang Kingdom is the only empress among the Nine Kingdoms to ascend the throne, naturally he dare not neglect easily.I have heard that Her Majesty the Queen of Nanchang Kingdom is wise and wise, and has good relations with the other seven countries, and is respected by the seven countries.Although Nanchang is a small country, it should not be underestimated now.
"Long live the emperor!" Gu Xiner walked to the end of the red carpet and bowed slowly.
"Pingshen!" The childish voice of a child sounded, but it also seemed to be the same.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Xiner kowtowed and got up, she glanced at the two people beside her from the corner of her eye.
Even she, Gu Xin'er, never expected that King Zhan would abdicate suddenly, and then assist the only bloodline of the Dong family, Emperor Xiao's heir, Dong Xuanyi, to become the emperor.The development of things is too unexpected, which makes people suspicious.After thinking about it, I'm afraid there is only one possibility, the queen really won the heart of the king of war.
In the whole world, she is the only person who can make the King of War like this.
Ye Mingzhu, the princess of the former dynasty, is the regent princess of the current dynasty.
After exchanging greetings, he retreated.
After retiring from the imperial court, Gu Xiner went out of the palace and went to the post house in the city to rest and stay temporarily.And she has already expressed the Queen's mind.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, a group of people gathered together to discuss important matters.
"Gu Xiner came here at the Queen's order this time, and the Queen wanted to discuss and surrender. It seems that she sensed that the Nanchang Kingdom was in danger!" Gongsun Qingming said softly, shaking the jade fan slowly.
"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Mingzhu sensed that there was something in his words, and asked softly.
Gongsun Qingming just smiled and said nothing, but looked at the other person.
Mingzhu followed his gaze and turned to look at Feng Zhanxiu who was sitting beside him, waiting for him to speak.
"She wants to negotiate a peace? Wishful thinking." Feng Zhanxiu said in a deep voice, the hidden cruelty suddenly burst into coldness, which made people startled.He smiled evilly, with an unruly expression on his face, "This king will definitely destroy the Nanchang Kingdom!"
Mingzhu trembled slightly when she heard this, she frowned, and instinctively objected, "Negotiating peace is a good thing! It doesn't waste the people or money! Why does the lord have to mobilize the army, and insist on increasing the war!"
He is bloodthirsty by nature, nothing can change it!
"This king has made up his mind that the Nanchang Kingdom must be destroyed!" Feng Zhanxiu said in a haze, writhing with anger.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Xiao Xuanyi rushed in from the study after finishing his studies, "Uncle, Aunt, Uncle Gongsun, I finished my studies!"
The sudden arrival of the little guy broke the deadlock and eased the atmosphere.
Gongsun Qingming smoothed things over by himself, and said, "The emperor will recite what I taught you yesterday?"
"Of course! If you don't believe me, I'll recite it to you!" Xiao Xuanyi ran up to Gongsun Qingming, the little man stood up straight, and began to recite.
The crisp child's voice echoed in the hall in an instant.
Sure enough, he slowly recited the poems he taught yesterday.
After Xiao Xuanyi finished reciting the last word, she blinked her big eyes and asked, "Teacher, how is my recitation?"
"Ruzi can be taught, and Ruzi can be taught." Gongsun Qingming couldn't help praising, and nodded repeatedly.This kid is really smart and talented.
Xiao Xuanyi smiled happily, very happy.He walked up to Mingzhu again and held her hand, "Auntie, the emperor taught me a set of boxing techniques yesterday, shall I show it to my aunt?" Before Mingzhu could respond, the little guy began to make gestures with one punch after another. , Although the fist is not strong, but the lively figure makes people feel proud.
It is also a kind of happiness to be able to watch a child grow up like this.
After finishing a set of punches, his little face was flushed red.
Mingzhu took out a towel and wiped him, and said softly, "Look, my head is full of sweat." Her hands moved slowly, and the smiling Li Rong suddenly changed the subject, and asked slowly, "Your Majesty, The envoy just now was sent by Nanchang Kingdom, and the Queen of Nanchang Kingdom wants to negotiate peace. I wonder what the Emperor thinks?"
"Negotiate peace?" Xiao Xuanyi murmured suspiciously, not understanding what to negotiate and not to negotiate, "What is that?"
A hint of cunning flickered in Mingzhu's eyes, and she changed the phrase, "Does the emperor want world peace or war?"
"Well——" Xiao Xuanyi thought seriously, looked at her and said loudly, "Of course I want peace in the world!"
"The emperor is wise!" Mingzhu responded with a smile, and then glanced at the other two people in the hall. She glanced at Feng Zhanxiu, obviously telling him on purpose, "The emperor has said that he agrees to the Nanchang peace negotiation. I don't know what is the opinion of the prince and the prime minister?"
Gongsun Qingming watched the changes quietly, and had to admire Mingzhu at this moment.
She is no longer what she used to be!
"The emperor's words are the imperial decree, and the minister will naturally obey the decree!" He was calm and calm, and smiled.
Feng Zhanxiu was silent for a long time, then suddenly got up.The tall figure was like a wall, and walked out of the hall in a few strides without looking back.
"Uncle Emperor?" Xiao Xuanyi looked at him and shouted hastily.
Mingzhu held Xiao Xuanyi's little hand to prevent him from chasing him out, "Eunuch De, is lunch ready?" Mingzhu asked.
"Princess, you are ready."
Mingzhu nodded, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat. Let's go."
"But……"
"After dinner, I still have to practice horse riding today." Mingzhu reminded softly, stroking his little head.
Seeing that Feng Zhanxiu's figure had disappeared again, Xiao Xuanyi said "Oh" and followed Eunuch De to the dining hall.
Gongsun Qingming looked at her, his refined handsome face was slightly radiant.He seemed to be sighing, but also seemed helpless, and said quietly, "I forgot to tell you one thing. Zhongli is a secret agent sent by Nanchang Kingdom. He has been by Feng Zhanxiu's side for ten years. I am afraid that Emperor Hong's death will also be related to his death. It is related to Nanchang Kingdom."
When Mingzhu heard this, ripples appeared in the lake of her heart, and she regained her composure in an instant, "Even if Zhongli did it carefully, it is possible that he sent Zhongli to kill him."
"Why don't you ask about it?" Gongsun Qingming said again.
She stood up and said lightly, "No matter who killed it, I don't want to investigate."
"Really don't want to?" Gongsun Qingming sharply caught the throbbing that flashed in her eyes, trying to resolve something.
Mingzhu glanced at him, stood up and walked out of the hall slowly.
The sky outside the hall was blue.
※※※
As night falls, the palace is lit with stars and lights.
Because the envoys of the Nanchang Kingdom came, a banquet was held in the main hall of the banquet.At the banquet, the new emperor Xuan Yi sat on the dragon seat, on the left were the regent and princess, and then the prime minister, Gongsun Qingming.On the right is the envoy Gu Xiner.
In the main hall, singing and dancing are peaceful, and the wine is mellow.
When it was late at night, Xuan Yi couldn't resist the drowsiness, so Eunuch De took him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to sleep.
"I send you off to the emperor!" A group of people stood up and shouted in a deep voice.
Dudufeng Zhanxiu sat on the seat, motionless.
His attitude made everything clear, so what about the emperor, he is the one who is in charge of the entire dynasty!
"It's getting late, and Xin'er should go back to the post house. Xin'er respects the regent king, princess, and the prime minister, and wishes the two countries a good relationship, and the country and the people are safe!" Gu Xiner knew all this well, with a smile like a flower, she Pick up the wine glass and drink the wine.The king of war is the real king of this dynasty!
Gongsun Qingming is also a man of knowledge, he said, "The truth is just on the way, why don't you give envoy Gu a ride?"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Gu Xiner heard him say that, so it was just right, her poison has not been cured yet!
The two retreated one after another, leaving only two people in the banquet hall to drink alone.
It's already spring, and the spring breeze carries the coolness of winter, making it feel even more awe-inspiring.
"My lord, I'm back home." Mingzhu said softly, and stood up silently, but someone grabbed her wrist, preventing her from leaving.
Mingzhu didn't go to see him, but just repeated that sentence, "My lord, I'm back home."
"The empress of Nanchang Kingdom is very ambitious. If she doesn't die, she will be troubled later." Feng Zhanxiu said slowly, looking up at her.And her indifferent face gave him an impulse to tear off her indifferent mask.His big hand loosened his strength and turned to hold her hand. Her hand was very small, only half the size of his.
Mingzhu moved her lips, her indifference remained the same, "My lord holds the military power of the dynasty, whether it can be destroyed or not is the lord's business."
"Nanchang Kingdom, this king is immortal." Feng Zhanxiu said after being silent for a while.He stood up, held her hand tightly, but said flatteringly.
The temperature in his palm was extremely hot, a pair of pitch-black eyes looked at him slowly, and Mingzhu saw her own reflection in his eyes.
"What should I do so that you can smile at me." Feng Zhanxiu sighed silently, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"The concubine laughs every day."
Feng Zhanxiu stretched out his hand to caress her face, and touched it lightly, "If you really want peace in the world, then this king will let the other eight countries discuss it."
"En." She replied, which was considered to be agreement.
He was full of requests, "Smile?"
Mingzhu was stunned for a while, she just raised the corners of her lips, but he leaned over and kissed her.
The night sky is full of stars, and the distance is deep, and a group of people left the deep palace.On the empty capital avenue, the common people have already rested in peace, but the watchman is still walking around with a gong.At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital city has always been peaceful and peaceful, and there is not even a single thief, so naturally there is no need for guards.
After leaving the palace, Gu Xin'er in the sedan chair quietly raised a corner of the curtain, and looked at the man in white on the horse outside the sedan chair.
The moonlight is like water, and the silver-white light radiates prosperity.
He was dressed in white, and the moonlight shone slightly, and his angular face was even more handsome.The long and narrow phoenix pupils were shining brightly, as if they were meteors falling from the stars, converging into a vast ray of light, but just happened to suppress that brilliance, revealing an indescribable charm in the forbearance.
Gu Xiner stared at him blankly, she couldn't help but be amazed.
She thinks that she has seen countless men, and she has seen too many beautiful men of all kinds.Whether it is mighty and strong, or handsome and elegant, there are all kinds of people, countless.
But there are only two people in this world who can move her heart.
One is Zhan Wang Feng Zhanxiu, his evil charm fascinated her, like a wild wolf, full of plunder.
The other is Gongsun Qingming, the poison doctor. Although he is elegant and calm, he is cunning and hard to catch like a fox.
Such two men are now officials for one day.One is the majestic regent, holding a heavy army, and the other is the current prime minister, with all the power in the court, but he is assisting a four or five-year-old baby to become the emperor. This is really a strange thing.I'm afraid it's only for that woman named Ye Mingzhu.
Gu Xiner thought to herself, she couldn't help being a little jealous of that Ye Mingzhu.
The princess of the previous dynasty, the princess regent of the current dynasty, and the war king married again and again, and she was the only one identified from beginning to end.
But Doctor Du is free and easy, unrestrained and dissolute, but he is also willing to face each other. He repents of his business with Her Majesty the Queen of Nanchang Kingdom, and casts himself in the Shengxin Dynasty.
What is the charm of Ye Mingzhu?
After a while, the sedan chair has arrived at the envoy's post in the capital.
"Stop the car!" The soldier in front shouted.
The sedan chair stopped, and Gu Xiner slowly stepped out of the sedan chair.She has always been a beauty, coquettish and charming, compared to her younger sister Gu Ruo'er, she is better at making men fascinated.As soon as she stepped out of the sedan chair, she tilted her foot, let out a numb "Ouch", and fell straight towards Gongsun Qingming.
"Gu Envoy, didn't you fall?" Gongsun Qingming supported her and smiled slightly.
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid I hurt my foot." Gu Xiner leaned her soft body against him, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
Gongsun Qingming had a beautiful woman in her arms, so she was not in a hurry to refuse.He put his arms around Gu Xin'er's slender waist, and said in a deep voice, "The truth is that there will be some bruises and sprains. If Gu Envoy doesn't dislike it, let me take a look for Gu Envoy."
"Please trouble the Prime Minister."
Gongsun Qingming lifted her hands, picked her up horizontally, and strode into the post house.
In the other courtyard of the post house, the maids wait quietly.
Gu Xiner leaned against Gongsun Qingming weakly, and said to the maids, "It's none of your business here, all go down."
"Yes!"
As soon as the maids retreated, Gu Xin'er looked up at him, smiling charmingly, "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is really sympathetic."
"Really." Gongsun Qingming said lightly, drawing the corners of his mouth.
He suddenly let go of his hand, and Gu Xiner fell from his embrace, and fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment, staring at him angrily, but suddenly smiled again without being angry.She stood up directly, and wrapped her weak and boneless hands around him, "Gongsun Gongzi, am I not beautiful?"
"Beautiful." Gongsun Qingming replied quietly, and glanced at her coldly.
Frightened by his eyes, Gu Xiner had no choice but to let go of her hand, but moved her lips towards him, and said with a sigh, "Gongsun Gongzi, tonight, I am yours."
Gongsun Qingming chuckled, spread out his jade fan, and rejected her red lips, "I don't have this kind of beauty."
"Then the poison on my body..." Gu Xiner didn't bother him anymore, she also knew that Gongsun Qingming was so beautiful all over the world, how many women in the Nine Kingdoms were obsessed with him, even the princess of Yan Kingdom was fascinated by him. marry.She is definitely not able to catch such a poisonous doctor, although she is unwilling.
Gongsun Qingming's eyes were full of light, and he said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't die for a while."
Gu Xiner narrowed her beautiful eyes, and asked anxiously, "When will you detoxify me?"
Gongsun Qingming shook the jade fan very comfortably, and said calmly, "As long as you don't cause trouble, when the matter is resolved satisfactorily, the antidote will naturally be given to you."
"What is the young master referring to?" Gu Xiner asked to the end.
"Nine countries discuss peace discussions." Gongsun Qingming stopped beating around the bush and said in a deep voice, "In the name of your Nanchang envoy, send a letter to the other seven countries to send envoys to come to discuss peace. Of course, our country will First accept the peace and friendship proposed by Her Majesty the Queen of Nanchang Kingdom."
Gu Xin'er was suspicious in her heart. The Nine Kingdoms Continent had always been filled with gunpowder, and now the other eight countries have always been afraid of the Shengxin Dynasty, so naturally they are also eyeing this great country.With the commanding ability of King Zhan and Gongsun Qingming's assistance, it may only be a matter of time before the eight countries are annexed.
"really?"
"Of course it is true." Gongsun Qingming replied straight away.
Gu Xiner couldn't care about the clues, she only cared about saving her life, "Okay! I hope you will keep your promise!"
※※※
On the next day, when he went to court, the ministers played a memorial to discuss the affairs of the country.
"Your Majesty! Now that the country is safe and peaceful, and the people are resting and recuperating, Nanchang Kingdom has sent envoys to negotiate a peace. I don't know what the Emperor wants?" The minister stepped forward and asked solemnly.
The little emperor Xuan Yi was sitting on the dragon chair, blinking his eyes with an innocent and cute face.
Feng Zhanxiu was dressed in a black python robe, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this king thinks that the peace negotiation should be accepted, and the two countries have a good relationship."
"Your Majesty, I agree with the regent's proposal." Gongsun Qingming answered.
Now that the two important ministers said so, who would dare to object?
The little emperor Xuan Yi said in a clear, childlike voice, "Quick play!"
On that day, Gu Xiner wrote seven letters and sent seven attendants to Chuqi Kingdom, Beiliao Kingdom, Dashang Kingdom, Yeyue Kingdom, Xichi Kingdom, Yan Kingdom and Geqiu Kingdom.
In the bright afternoon, Xiao Xuanyi finished reading, and now it was time to practice martial arts.
Just after eating, his small figure rushed out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and happily ran to the martial arts field. While running, he shouted to the two people behind him, "Auntie! Uncle Gongsun! I'm leaving!"
"Your Majesty! Run slowly!" Mingzhu couldn't help exhorting.
"Got it!" The little guy replied, but he had already run away.
Gongsun Qingming looked at the little guy's disappearing figure, and said quietly, "After all, the emperor is just a child."
Mingzhu nodded approvingly, then turned to look at him suddenly, and said softly, "Brother, thank you for helping me so much."
"I'm not helping you, I'm helping the emperor." Gongsun Qingming smiled warmly, and simply said everything.He withdrew his gaze, and turned to look at the peach blossoms that had just bloomed, clusters of pink flower branches, which dissipated all the previous severe cold, "If you really want to thank me, why don't you give me some rare treasures."
When Mingzhu heard this, she turned out to be a bit ignorant of him, "The emperor decreed that the prime minister is loyal, and you can choose one or two of the treasures in the treasure house of the palace."
A businessman is still a businessman, it really cannot be changed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Gongsun Qingming bowed with his fan in both hands.
The two looked at the sky together, feeling the comfort of the breeze.
"Long live the emperor!" On the way from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the Martial Arts Field, eunuchs and palace guards helped each other to greet him.
Xiao Xuanyi bounced forward, running wildly all the way.In order to take a shortcut, and fearing that he would be punished by the emperor if he was late, he always walked around the imperial garden.As soon as he crossed the small bridge, he saw a court lady pushing a wheelchair walking towards him. The little guy was always afraid of the Queen Mother, so he stopped and shouted softly, "The Queen Mother!"
It's just that this sudden meeting was too coincidental.
Murong Feixue's eyes were extremely sharp, as if she was about to shoot thousands of arrows, coldly shooting at that little figure.
"Tui'er, Ai's family is a bit cold, you go get a cloak for Ai's family." Murong Feixue said softly.
"Yes! Empress Dowager!" Tweety answered hurriedly, turned around and left.
Murong Feixue stared at Xiao Xuanyi without blinking, her gloomy expression was swept away, but she smiled kindly and said, "I heard that the emperor has chosen the regent as his teacher, are you rushing to practice martial arts right now?" ?”
Xiao Xuanyi raised his head and saw her smiling at him, he was no longer nervous, and gradually relaxed, "Yes, I'm about to go to practice martial arts."
"The emperor likes the regent very much?" Murong Feixue asked again.
"I like Uncle Huang the most." Xiao Xuanyi blurted out without thinking, her big eyes narrowed into two little moons.
Murong Feixue nodded, but her eyes were gloomy.Her hand trembled, and the towel in her hand fell to the ground. She wanted to pick it up, but she couldn't bend down. Even if she stretched her hand to reach it, she couldn't reach it.
"Queen Mother, I'll help you!" Seeing her difficulty, Xiao Xuanyi said innocently.The little guy immediately ran to her side, bent down to pick up the handkerchief on the ground, and handed it to her again, "Queen Mother, your handkerchief!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Murong Feixue's vicissitudes of face were wrinkled, she looked at Xiao Xuanyi, and took the handkerchief.But when her hand took the towel, she grabbed his little hand and didn't let go.
Xiao Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, and shouted with some fear, "Queen Mother!"
"Why does your majesty like the regent so much?" Murong Feixue asked coldly, holding his little hand tightly.
Xiao Xuanyi looked anxious, and replied childishly, "Because the emperor uncle is the best."
"Okay?" Murong Feixue sneered, her eyes sparkled, and she said gloomyly, "He is not kind to you. Your uncle killed your father and your mother. How could he be kind to you?" .You have never met your father, do you want to know how he died? He was beaten to death by your favorite emperor!"
Xiao Xuanyi's eyes were red with fright, and he shouted loudly, "You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense! I don't believe it!"
"Haha! The Ai family is not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, go ask your emperor's uncle and ask your aunt! Listen to how they answered you!" Murong Feixue's face turned ugly, but she was crazy, "You are just a The evil seed! The evil seed that no one wants! He will not like you! He just thinks you are pitiful!"
Xiao Xuanyi struggled uneasily, and shook her hand vigorously, "You talk nonsense! I don't believe it!"
The little guy took a few steps back, his little face was full of tears, he bit his lips, turned and ran away.
Murong Feixue glanced at his leaving figure, raised the corners of her lips, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Hehe! Hehehe!"
Her laughter hovered in the sky of the imperial garden, and it lingered for a long time.
※※※
The rising sun is in the sky, shining brightly.
In the martial arts arena, a small figure is gaiting and punching.
Feng Zhanxiu stood aside, watching his every move, with a solemn expression, like a strict teacher.Seeing that the little guy seemed to be unable to support himself, and his horse gait was not steady, he looked at it with deep eyes, and shouted sharply, "Squat down, and don't deviate by half an inch. If you are a martial arts practitioner, you can't bear even this little bit of suffering. Then it won’t be a big weapon.”
Xiao Xuanyi remained silent, but he still remembered what happened just now in his mind.
"You're actually distracted!" Feng Zhanxiu yelled again, and the cane yanked towards his calf.Although it looked very hard, but he grasped the strength, in fact it didn't hurt at all, it was just a show.
Xiao Xuanyi was wronged in his heart, and everything the queen mother said made him feel scared.He thought about it, and couldn't help it anymore.He stopped gaiting, he stood up straight, and proudly raised his head to look at Feng Zhanxiu, but his dark eyes were already reddened, a kind of unspeakable expectation.
"What happened?" Feng Zhanxiu saw that something was wrong with him, and threw the rattan with his hands.
At this moment, in front of Xiao Xuanyi, he is still his favorite uncle.
"Uncle Huang!" Xiao Xuanyi yelled, with a sad expression on his face, "Uncle Huang likes Xuan Yi!"
Feng Zhanxiu was taken aback, thinking he was about to say something.Looking at the innocent face of the little guy, he couldn't help reaching out and touching his little head, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, continue practicing martial arts!"
"Uncle Huang!" Xiao Xuanyi shouted again, holding his big hand with his little hand.He hesitated for a long time, thought for a long time, squirmed his lips, trembled his voice, and finally asked, "Did the emperor kill Dad?"
The surroundings were suddenly quiet, even the sound of the wind was still.
Feng Zhanxiu stared blankly at Xuan Yi's expectant little face, and he suddenly lost his voice.
"Uncle Emperor?" Xiao Xuanyi waited and waited, then shouted tremblingly again.
Feng Zhanxiu withdrew the big hand that was stroking his little head, and a tall figure was pressed down by his proud body, completely covering the little him.A pair of eagle eyes were deep and unwavering, but something secretly emerged from the bottom of the eyes.He was very calm, opened his mouth quietly, and only answered with one word, "Yes!"
"Daddy was really killed by the emperor." Xiao Xuanyi didn't seem to believe it. He wanted to go forward, but he was too scared to go forward. He looked at Feng Zhanxiu, whom he had always respected and admired in his life. Emperor uncle.He pursed his lips, and suddenly burst into tears, "How could the emperor kill my father, the emperor killed my father!"
Xiao Xuanyi has never met his father, and he has asked others more than once who his father is and where his father has gone.But no one told him.Only once, Eunuch De told him secretly that his father was such a great man.Those beautiful words made him have a dreamlike reverence for his father.
But at this moment, this dream was suddenly shattered.
A child's dream is shattered.
"I don't like the emperor anymore! I don't like it anymore!" Xiao Xuanyi cried sadly, and shouted at him sadly, clenched his fists, turned around, and ran away with big strides.
And Feng Zhanxiu looked at his running away figure, standing alone in the same place, like a thousand-year-old ghost.
※※※
"He didn't treat you well. Your uncle killed your father and your mother."
"Aijia is not talking nonsense, if you don't believe me, just ask your emperor's uncle and your aunt!"
"You're just an evil seed! An evil seed that no one wants! He won't like you! He just thinks you are pitiful!"
The queen mother's words kept ringing in Xiao Xuanyi's ears.
Xiao Xuanyi ran back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation sullenly, tears had already blurred his vision, and he could no longer see who was who.The small figure rushed into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, only to see my aunt standing not far away.He opened his arms and threw himself into Mingzhu's arms, tears kept flowing, crying more and more sadly.
"Auntie!" Xiao Xuanyi yelled sobbing, and buried her head deep in her arms.
Mingzhu was suspicious, squatted down in front of him, and hurriedly took out a towel to wipe away his tears, "What's wrong? Why are you crying so hard?"
"Auntie..." Xiao Xuanyi cried and looked at Little Walnut, and said intermittently, "The queen mother said that the emperor's uncle killed my father, and my mother was also killed by the emperor's uncle. The queen mother also said that I am an unwanted child. Uncle Huang doesn't like me at all! I'll ask Uncle Huang if Dad was killed by Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang said yes."
"Woooooo-"
Mingzhu's thoughts suddenly became chaotic, she didn't expect Murong Feixue to say such a thing to a child, and she didn't expect Feng Zhanxiu to admit it.She hugged Xuan Yi into her arms, patted him gently, and comforted him softly, "Xuan Yi is good, Xuan Yi is obedient, stop crying, stop crying."
"Woooooo!" The little guy kept crying, crying even more sadly.
After a long time, he was finally tired from crying, and lay on Mingzhu's shoulder in silence.
On that day, Ming Zhu stayed in the palace and did not return to the Prince Regent's Mansion.During dinner, Xiao Xuanyi obviously had no appetite. He stared at the delicacies on the table for a long time, holding the chopsticks in his hand but did not move them for a long time.Eunuch De couldn't stand it anymore, so he yelled, and he took two mouthfuls of rice.
I was bored after a meal, and lost the usual joy.
In the dead of night, the palace is even more secluded.
Candles were flickering in the dormitory, and Mingzhu was by Xiao Xuanyi's side, sitting on the edge of the bed and telling him stories.After finishing a story, she turned her head to look, and saw the little guy lying on the bed, clutching the quilt with his little hands, his eyes blinking dryly, but she didn't know if he had listened.
"Okay, go to bed early." Mingzhu stroked his forehead to comfort him, she pinched the corner of the quilt for him again, and then got up to leave.
But at this time, someone behind her grabbed the corner of her clothes.
Mingzhu turned her head to look, but saw Xiao Xuanyi's uneasy face, lowered her head and said sullenly, "Auntie, can you sleep with me?"
Mingzhu naturally knows that he has been used to sleeping alone since he was a child, although he is mischievous, he has always been obedient and well-behaved.Even when Liu Shuiyao passed away, he didn't ask her to stay with him.It seems that what Murong Feixue said dealt a great blow to the little guy, making it hard for him to accept it.
"Okay. Auntie will accompany you." Mingzhu softened her eyes and agreed softly.
Only then did Xiao Xuanyi show a smiling face, lifted a corner of the quilt, and Mingzhu lay down.The two slept on the same bed, covered with a quilt, Xiao Xuanyi curled up and turned to her sideways, as if looking for warmth.Mingzhu reached out to hug him, and patted him gently, "Sleep well, aunt will always be with you."
"Auntie." Xiao Xuanyi buried her head in front of her chest, and said in a low childish voice, "Is everything the Queen Mother said true?"
Mingzhu froze for a moment, but still nodded.
"Why did the uncle kill daddy?" Xiao Xuanyi asked again.
"Because..." Mingzhu thought again and again, then said lightly, "There was a quarrel. They quarreled."
"Arguing?" Xiao Xuanyi pursed her lips and said very sadly, "From now on, Xuan Yi hates quarreling the most. The emperor killed my father, and I don't like the emperor anymore."
Children's likes and likes are so simple and straightforward.
Mingzhu hugged Xiaoxuanyi tightly, and asked softly, "Then what about the teacher who practices martial arts in the future, should you let Uncle Huang teach you?"
Xiao Xuanyi was silent for a long time, but said in a very principled way, "The teacher is the teacher, and the emperor is the emperor."
"Go to sleep."
"En—" Xiao Xuanyi finally fell into a deep sleep.
But Mingzhu was thinking of someone, wondering if he fell asleep alone in Nuoda's palace.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the officials went to court.
Xiao Xuanyi sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, the courtiers lowered their heads, and did not see the little emperor's big eyes were slightly red and swollen, apparently he cried for a long time last night.The little man has such an arrogant expression. Even though he is a baby, he already has a thousand demeanors. It seems that he will be a deterrent king in the future.
Feng Zhanxiu stood silently in front of the ministers, without saying a word, with no strange expression on his face.
Gongsun Qingming was suspicious, he caught a glimpse of the little emperor's red and swollen eyes, and glanced at Feng Zhanxiu calmly.
What happened?
"If you have something to do, go to the court if you have nothing to do—" Eunuch De shouted loudly.
The ministers were silent, and Eunuch De shouted again, "Retire!"
(End of this chapter)
Just as Yun Ni walked out of the yard, a group of men in black descended from the sky.The men in black were all solemn, and they could tell they were killers at a glance.And this place is Nanchang Kingdom, so it is clear who these killers belong to.Yun Ni stared at each other, taking precautions, and suddenly felt that she was under attack.
Someone ran out from behind, it was Zhongli.
Zhongli quietly looked at the several black-clothed killers, but his face did not change.
"The empress ordered me to bring her into the palace. You won't let us not be able to communicate with each other." One of the men in black said, obviously not wanting to fight with everyone.
The crowd remained calm and said quietly, "Of course I will apologize to His Majesty."
"Are you trying to resist the decree!" The man in black shouted sharply, seeing his tough attitude and not letting go, his sharp eyes glanced at the companions around him, and shouted coldly, "Take it away!"
"Who dares to do it!" Zhong Li shouted, and a cold edge burst out from his whole body.
The black-clothed killer hesitated, looked at each other, and still stepped forward to strike.A series of black shadows quickly entangled with Yun Ni, rolling up flying sand all over the sky, but the two fists could not resist the siege of many people, Yun Ni gradually lost the battle.She pursed her lips, as arrogant as a bird that didn't return, maybe she never thought of leaving alive.
Zhongli's eyes froze, his powerful arms turned backwards, and he grabbed the sword on the ground with the palm of his hand.His slender body was like a gust of wind, rushing into the siege in an instant.
"Sword!" He shouted in a deep voice, and Yun Ni took the sharp sword thrown by him with one hand.
For a moment, he stood back to back with her, one holding a sword and the other holding a knife, calmly dealing with the killers around.Although the situation is urgent, they have no fear at all.It's just like returning to the past, they are the most trusted subordinates of the master, they are the right arm of the master, and they are partners who cooperate seamlessly.
"You actually betrayed Her Majesty the Empress!"
"Old rules." Yun Ni heard the male voice in her ear, she was a little confused, and nodded in annoyance.
The two reached a consensus, and fought alone with the black-clothed killer.
There was a flash of sword light and sword shadow, his sword swirled, her sword energy swept across, and the killers around fell down one after another, bleeding all over the ground.
"Let's go!" Zhong Li frowned and said, grabbed Yun Ni's hand and jumped away.
Yun Ni was grabbed by his arm and ran towards the outside of the capital, silently.
Ahead was the city gate, and Zhongli bought another horse from a horse dealer.He turned his hand and put the rein in her hand, and only said two words, "Go!"
Yun Ni stared at the rein in her hand, and didn't regain her senses for a long time.
"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you leave quickly?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhong Li's tone suddenly became more serious.
At this moment, Yun Ni's heart was churning with turbulent waves, which could no longer be calmed down.She looked up at him and said softly, "Come with me." If he let her go, Her Majesty the Queen would not spare him.If Xi Zuo had a double heart, the end would definitely be death, he wouldn't be unaware!
"I won't go!" He refused without hesitation.
Yun Ni frowned melancholy, engraved his appearance into her mind, and said again, "There is no longer any room for you here."
Zhongli was resolute and carefully said his words, "This is my country!"
nation……
Yun Ni was awakened by his words, yes, this is his country, how could he give it up.
"Let's go!" Zhongli couldn't help but help her onto the horse.He took his horse and hurried towards the gate of the capital.
Just as they were about to leave the city, countless soldiers rushed out, surrounded and intercepted the two of them.
※※※
Nanchang Kingdom Palace
"Go in!" The soldiers brutally pressed the two of them into the dungeon, and the heavy chains locked them.
In the dark and cold sky prison, the smell of blood became more and more solemn. If ordinary people smelled it, they would definitely feel sick.Both Zhongli and Yunni were bound by chains, unable to move at all.The iron chains under his feet weighed tens of kilograms, making it difficult to walk, let alone escape.
"Hah—" a mouse slid past.
Yun Ni fell to the wall, her eyes were indifferent, "You should kill me."
Zhongli looked down at the messy ground without saying a word.
Suddenly, the prison door was opened by the jailer, and a faint fragrance wafted away.
"Long live, long live, long live, Her Majesty the Queen!"
Surrounded by guards and dressed in a golden jacket, Her Majesty the Empress came slowly.The years seem to have taken great care of her, and did not leave many marks on her face, she is still youthful.And when she glanced and smiled, she was full of aura, not losing to the King of War.
This is the first time Yun Ni saw the Queen of Nanchang Kingdom.
In the past, I only heard that there was a female emperor in Nanchang, but I never saw the real face of the female emperor.
Finally saw it today!
Just why do you feel a little familiar?
The queen walked into the cell, her cold eyes swept across the two of them, and her eyes stopped on Yun Ni, "You are Yun Ni, the confidant guard of the King of War."
Yun Ni just stared at her without responding.
"Come on!" the queen shouted with a smile.
Immediately a guard came out, but walked towards Zhongli.He took out a dagger, grabbed Zhongli's arm and cut it.Zhong Li didn't resist, and let him move.The guard took out another small bottle, uncapped the bottle, a gu quickly entered the cut wound, and the black shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yun Ni was shocked, but the long-term training kept her calm.
"Ah!" Zhongli snorted, suddenly the pain in his body was unbearable, and he fell to the ground and could not afford to crawl.
Seeing him like this, Yun Ni could no longer calm down and said, "If you want to kill, kill!"
Zhongli was tortured and destroyed by Gu, like a sword being insulted, nibbling away bit by bit, his body curled up into a painful ball, he really couldn't live but couldn't die.
"Yun Huwei, I will not kill you, nor will I hurt you." The Queen said quietly, exhaling Ruolan, "But I have something to ask of Yun Huwei."
Yun Ni said arrogantly, "I will never betray my master!"
"I know you are loyal to protect the lord." The queen raised her lips, "I only want you to kill Dong Xuanyi."
"Why!" Yun Ni was stunned, could it be that the empress also had some hatred for her master?
Empress Lirong became more and more calm, a little unearthly, "Will you agree?"
"No!" Yun Ni blurted out without thinking.
The queen has always loved Xuan Yi, and for Xuan Yi's sake, she did not hesitate to fall out with her master.If something happened to Xuan Yi, how should the master explain it to the queen?Next, she knows very well how the master treats Xuan Yi, it is absolutely impossible for her to kill Xiao Xuan Yi!
"Ah—" Zhongli spat out a mouthful of blood, and rolled on the ground.
Yun Ni was anxious, and wanted to run to him, but was held down by the jailer, unable to move.Ke Zhongli's painful expression was deeply reflected in her eyes, she couldn't bear to look at it, so she had to turn her head to look elsewhere.His struggling and moaning kept echoing in her ears, piercing her heart one after another.
She is a killer, he is an enemy, she should not be soft-hearted, not soft-hearted!
"This Gu was cultivated by the mages of the Western Regions. No one in the world can cure it except the mages." The queen stared at it coldly, and said calmly, "But don't worry, he can live for at least half a year. But he will get sick once a month. Every time he gets sick, he will be in pain. He will not die until half a year later, when the Gu eats up all the internal organs in his body."
Yun Ni was startled when she heard that, and looked at her coldly, "Her Majesty is so cruel."
"Then do you agree or not?" the queen asked again.
"No!" Yun Ni gritted her teeth and said, "I am the guard of the King of War, why should I save him!"
Zhongli let out a low growl, as if heart-piercing, he slammed his head against the wall.The jailer hurried forward, but he had already hit his head badly.When resisting, something fell from his clothes.
It turned out to be a pink paper bag.
Yun Ni recognized the pink paper bag, and even more remembered the line written by herself on the paper bag.
In the same body as you, this life wish is enough.She murmured silently in her heart, her eyes sore for a while.
"If you don't agree, then I will kill him immediately." The queen said patiently, "After all, he is here to protect you!"
With confused thoughts, Yun Ni had no choice but to delay the attack, "Okay! I agree!"
The queen smiled with satisfaction, and said quietly, "Guardian Yun, don't pretend to agree. If something happens to me, everyone will die."
……
It was already sunset, and the birds and beasts dispersed one after another.The sunset glow against the sky is gorgeous and magnificent.
At the side entrance of the palace, a carriage "clacked" out.
In the carriage, a woman got off.
Yun Ni walked alone on the desolate avenue, feeling empty in her heart.
※※※
Shengxin Dynasty
The warm sun melts the winter ice and snow, and the capital is soaked in ticking snow.
A mighty team of envoys from the Nanchang Kingdom came from the post house, bringing countless gold and silver treasures to show their sincerity.On the white pony in front, the envoy in court uniform was Gu Xin'er.Although she is dressed like a man, she is not half heroic, and her whole body is full of enchanting postures, which are alluring.
Enter through the Wuzhong Gate, and follow the guards towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers of civil and military affairs stood on the left and right, and the atmosphere was quiet and solemn.
The two leading ministers are the Regent Feng Zhanxiu, and the current Prime Minister Gongsun Qingming.
The new emperor Xuanyi, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, sits on a dragon chair.His small body and cute face seemed out of tune with the atmosphere of the government and the public.He blinked his big eyes, and with the heavy imperial crown on his head, he pursed his mouth unhappily.But as the blood of the emperor's family, it has its own majesty.
"The envoy sees—" The eunuch's communication sounded outside the hall.
Under the watchful eyes of the officials, Gu Xiner walked into the hall slowly.
When the ministers saw that it was a woman, they couldn't help laughing in their hearts.But thinking that Nanchang Kingdom is the only empress among the Nine Kingdoms to ascend the throne, naturally he dare not neglect easily.I have heard that Her Majesty the Queen of Nanchang Kingdom is wise and wise, and has good relations with the other seven countries, and is respected by the seven countries.Although Nanchang is a small country, it should not be underestimated now.
"Long live the emperor!" Gu Xiner walked to the end of the red carpet and bowed slowly.
"Pingshen!" The childish voice of a child sounded, but it also seemed to be the same.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Xiner kowtowed and got up, she glanced at the two people beside her from the corner of her eye.
Even she, Gu Xin'er, never expected that King Zhan would abdicate suddenly, and then assist the only bloodline of the Dong family, Emperor Xiao's heir, Dong Xuanyi, to become the emperor.The development of things is too unexpected, which makes people suspicious.After thinking about it, I'm afraid there is only one possibility, the queen really won the heart of the king of war.
In the whole world, she is the only person who can make the King of War like this.
Ye Mingzhu, the princess of the former dynasty, is the regent princess of the current dynasty.
After exchanging greetings, he retreated.
After retiring from the imperial court, Gu Xiner went out of the palace and went to the post house in the city to rest and stay temporarily.And she has already expressed the Queen's mind.
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, a group of people gathered together to discuss important matters.
"Gu Xiner came here at the Queen's order this time, and the Queen wanted to discuss and surrender. It seems that she sensed that the Nanchang Kingdom was in danger!" Gongsun Qingming said softly, shaking the jade fan slowly.
"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Mingzhu sensed that there was something in his words, and asked softly.
Gongsun Qingming just smiled and said nothing, but looked at the other person.
Mingzhu followed his gaze and turned to look at Feng Zhanxiu who was sitting beside him, waiting for him to speak.
"She wants to negotiate a peace? Wishful thinking." Feng Zhanxiu said in a deep voice, the hidden cruelty suddenly burst into coldness, which made people startled.He smiled evilly, with an unruly expression on his face, "This king will definitely destroy the Nanchang Kingdom!"
Mingzhu trembled slightly when she heard this, she frowned, and instinctively objected, "Negotiating peace is a good thing! It doesn't waste the people or money! Why does the lord have to mobilize the army, and insist on increasing the war!"
He is bloodthirsty by nature, nothing can change it!
"This king has made up his mind that the Nanchang Kingdom must be destroyed!" Feng Zhanxiu said in a haze, writhing with anger.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Xiao Xuanyi rushed in from the study after finishing his studies, "Uncle, Aunt, Uncle Gongsun, I finished my studies!"
The sudden arrival of the little guy broke the deadlock and eased the atmosphere.
Gongsun Qingming smoothed things over by himself, and said, "The emperor will recite what I taught you yesterday?"
"Of course! If you don't believe me, I'll recite it to you!" Xiao Xuanyi ran up to Gongsun Qingming, the little man stood up straight, and began to recite.
The crisp child's voice echoed in the hall in an instant.
Sure enough, he slowly recited the poems he taught yesterday.
After Xiao Xuanyi finished reciting the last word, she blinked her big eyes and asked, "Teacher, how is my recitation?"
"Ruzi can be taught, and Ruzi can be taught." Gongsun Qingming couldn't help praising, and nodded repeatedly.This kid is really smart and talented.
Xiao Xuanyi smiled happily, very happy.He walked up to Mingzhu again and held her hand, "Auntie, the emperor taught me a set of boxing techniques yesterday, shall I show it to my aunt?" Before Mingzhu could respond, the little guy began to make gestures with one punch after another. , Although the fist is not strong, but the lively figure makes people feel proud.
It is also a kind of happiness to be able to watch a child grow up like this.
After finishing a set of punches, his little face was flushed red.
Mingzhu took out a towel and wiped him, and said softly, "Look, my head is full of sweat." Her hands moved slowly, and the smiling Li Rong suddenly changed the subject, and asked slowly, "Your Majesty, The envoy just now was sent by Nanchang Kingdom, and the Queen of Nanchang Kingdom wants to negotiate peace. I wonder what the Emperor thinks?"
"Negotiate peace?" Xiao Xuanyi murmured suspiciously, not understanding what to negotiate and not to negotiate, "What is that?"
A hint of cunning flickered in Mingzhu's eyes, and she changed the phrase, "Does the emperor want world peace or war?"
"Well——" Xiao Xuanyi thought seriously, looked at her and said loudly, "Of course I want peace in the world!"
"The emperor is wise!" Mingzhu responded with a smile, and then glanced at the other two people in the hall. She glanced at Feng Zhanxiu, obviously telling him on purpose, "The emperor has said that he agrees to the Nanchang peace negotiation. I don't know what is the opinion of the prince and the prime minister?"
Gongsun Qingming watched the changes quietly, and had to admire Mingzhu at this moment.
She is no longer what she used to be!
"The emperor's words are the imperial decree, and the minister will naturally obey the decree!" He was calm and calm, and smiled.
Feng Zhanxiu was silent for a long time, then suddenly got up.The tall figure was like a wall, and walked out of the hall in a few strides without looking back.
"Uncle Emperor?" Xiao Xuanyi looked at him and shouted hastily.
Mingzhu held Xiao Xuanyi's little hand to prevent him from chasing him out, "Eunuch De, is lunch ready?" Mingzhu asked.
"Princess, you are ready."
Mingzhu nodded, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat. Let's go."
"But……"
"After dinner, I still have to practice horse riding today." Mingzhu reminded softly, stroking his little head.
Seeing that Feng Zhanxiu's figure had disappeared again, Xiao Xuanyi said "Oh" and followed Eunuch De to the dining hall.
Gongsun Qingming looked at her, his refined handsome face was slightly radiant.He seemed to be sighing, but also seemed helpless, and said quietly, "I forgot to tell you one thing. Zhongli is a secret agent sent by Nanchang Kingdom. He has been by Feng Zhanxiu's side for ten years. I am afraid that Emperor Hong's death will also be related to his death. It is related to Nanchang Kingdom."
When Mingzhu heard this, ripples appeared in the lake of her heart, and she regained her composure in an instant, "Even if Zhongli did it carefully, it is possible that he sent Zhongli to kill him."
"Why don't you ask about it?" Gongsun Qingming said again.
She stood up and said lightly, "No matter who killed it, I don't want to investigate."
"Really don't want to?" Gongsun Qingming sharply caught the throbbing that flashed in her eyes, trying to resolve something.
Mingzhu glanced at him, stood up and walked out of the hall slowly.
The sky outside the hall was blue.
※※※
As night falls, the palace is lit with stars and lights.
Because the envoys of the Nanchang Kingdom came, a banquet was held in the main hall of the banquet.At the banquet, the new emperor Xuan Yi sat on the dragon seat, on the left were the regent and princess, and then the prime minister, Gongsun Qingming.On the right is the envoy Gu Xiner.
In the main hall, singing and dancing are peaceful, and the wine is mellow.
When it was late at night, Xuan Yi couldn't resist the drowsiness, so Eunuch De took him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to sleep.
"I send you off to the emperor!" A group of people stood up and shouted in a deep voice.
Dudufeng Zhanxiu sat on the seat, motionless.
His attitude made everything clear, so what about the emperor, he is the one who is in charge of the entire dynasty!
"It's getting late, and Xin'er should go back to the post house. Xin'er respects the regent king, princess, and the prime minister, and wishes the two countries a good relationship, and the country and the people are safe!" Gu Xiner knew all this well, with a smile like a flower, she Pick up the wine glass and drink the wine.The king of war is the real king of this dynasty!
Gongsun Qingming is also a man of knowledge, he said, "The truth is just on the way, why don't you give envoy Gu a ride?"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Gu Xiner heard him say that, so it was just right, her poison has not been cured yet!
The two retreated one after another, leaving only two people in the banquet hall to drink alone.
It's already spring, and the spring breeze carries the coolness of winter, making it feel even more awe-inspiring.
"My lord, I'm back home." Mingzhu said softly, and stood up silently, but someone grabbed her wrist, preventing her from leaving.
Mingzhu didn't go to see him, but just repeated that sentence, "My lord, I'm back home."
"The empress of Nanchang Kingdom is very ambitious. If she doesn't die, she will be troubled later." Feng Zhanxiu said slowly, looking up at her.And her indifferent face gave him an impulse to tear off her indifferent mask.His big hand loosened his strength and turned to hold her hand. Her hand was very small, only half the size of his.
Mingzhu moved her lips, her indifference remained the same, "My lord holds the military power of the dynasty, whether it can be destroyed or not is the lord's business."
"Nanchang Kingdom, this king is immortal." Feng Zhanxiu said after being silent for a while.He stood up, held her hand tightly, but said flatteringly.
The temperature in his palm was extremely hot, a pair of pitch-black eyes looked at him slowly, and Mingzhu saw her own reflection in his eyes.
"What should I do so that you can smile at me." Feng Zhanxiu sighed silently, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"The concubine laughs every day."
Feng Zhanxiu stretched out his hand to caress her face, and touched it lightly, "If you really want peace in the world, then this king will let the other eight countries discuss it."
"En." She replied, which was considered to be agreement.
He was full of requests, "Smile?"
Mingzhu was stunned for a while, she just raised the corners of her lips, but he leaned over and kissed her.
The night sky is full of stars, and the distance is deep, and a group of people left the deep palace.On the empty capital avenue, the common people have already rested in peace, but the watchman is still walking around with a gong.At the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital city has always been peaceful and peaceful, and there is not even a single thief, so naturally there is no need for guards.
After leaving the palace, Gu Xin'er in the sedan chair quietly raised a corner of the curtain, and looked at the man in white on the horse outside the sedan chair.
The moonlight is like water, and the silver-white light radiates prosperity.
He was dressed in white, and the moonlight shone slightly, and his angular face was even more handsome.The long and narrow phoenix pupils were shining brightly, as if they were meteors falling from the stars, converging into a vast ray of light, but just happened to suppress that brilliance, revealing an indescribable charm in the forbearance.
Gu Xiner stared at him blankly, she couldn't help but be amazed.
She thinks that she has seen countless men, and she has seen too many beautiful men of all kinds.Whether it is mighty and strong, or handsome and elegant, there are all kinds of people, countless.
But there are only two people in this world who can move her heart.
One is Zhan Wang Feng Zhanxiu, his evil charm fascinated her, like a wild wolf, full of plunder.
The other is Gongsun Qingming, the poison doctor. Although he is elegant and calm, he is cunning and hard to catch like a fox.
Such two men are now officials for one day.One is the majestic regent, holding a heavy army, and the other is the current prime minister, with all the power in the court, but he is assisting a four or five-year-old baby to become the emperor. This is really a strange thing.I'm afraid it's only for that woman named Ye Mingzhu.
Gu Xiner thought to herself, she couldn't help being a little jealous of that Ye Mingzhu.
The princess of the previous dynasty, the princess regent of the current dynasty, and the war king married again and again, and she was the only one identified from beginning to end.
But Doctor Du is free and easy, unrestrained and dissolute, but he is also willing to face each other. He repents of his business with Her Majesty the Queen of Nanchang Kingdom, and casts himself in the Shengxin Dynasty.
What is the charm of Ye Mingzhu?
After a while, the sedan chair has arrived at the envoy's post in the capital.
"Stop the car!" The soldier in front shouted.
The sedan chair stopped, and Gu Xiner slowly stepped out of the sedan chair.She has always been a beauty, coquettish and charming, compared to her younger sister Gu Ruo'er, she is better at making men fascinated.As soon as she stepped out of the sedan chair, she tilted her foot, let out a numb "Ouch", and fell straight towards Gongsun Qingming.
"Gu Envoy, didn't you fall?" Gongsun Qingming supported her and smiled slightly.
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid I hurt my foot." Gu Xiner leaned her soft body against him, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
Gongsun Qingming had a beautiful woman in her arms, so she was not in a hurry to refuse.He put his arms around Gu Xin'er's slender waist, and said in a deep voice, "The truth is that there will be some bruises and sprains. If Gu Envoy doesn't dislike it, let me take a look for Gu Envoy."
"Please trouble the Prime Minister."
Gongsun Qingming lifted her hands, picked her up horizontally, and strode into the post house.
In the other courtyard of the post house, the maids wait quietly.
Gu Xiner leaned against Gongsun Qingming weakly, and said to the maids, "It's none of your business here, all go down."
"Yes!"
As soon as the maids retreated, Gu Xin'er looked up at him, smiling charmingly, "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is really sympathetic."
"Really." Gongsun Qingming said lightly, drawing the corners of his mouth.
He suddenly let go of his hand, and Gu Xiner fell from his embrace, and fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment, staring at him angrily, but suddenly smiled again without being angry.She stood up directly, and wrapped her weak and boneless hands around him, "Gongsun Gongzi, am I not beautiful?"
"Beautiful." Gongsun Qingming replied quietly, and glanced at her coldly.
Frightened by his eyes, Gu Xiner had no choice but to let go of her hand, but moved her lips towards him, and said with a sigh, "Gongsun Gongzi, tonight, I am yours."
Gongsun Qingming chuckled, spread out his jade fan, and rejected her red lips, "I don't have this kind of beauty."
"Then the poison on my body..." Gu Xiner didn't bother him anymore, she also knew that Gongsun Qingming was so beautiful all over the world, how many women in the Nine Kingdoms were obsessed with him, even the princess of Yan Kingdom was fascinated by him. marry.She is definitely not able to catch such a poisonous doctor, although she is unwilling.
Gongsun Qingming's eyes were full of light, and he said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't die for a while."
Gu Xiner narrowed her beautiful eyes, and asked anxiously, "When will you detoxify me?"
Gongsun Qingming shook the jade fan very comfortably, and said calmly, "As long as you don't cause trouble, when the matter is resolved satisfactorily, the antidote will naturally be given to you."
"What is the young master referring to?" Gu Xiner asked to the end.
"Nine countries discuss peace discussions." Gongsun Qingming stopped beating around the bush and said in a deep voice, "In the name of your Nanchang envoy, send a letter to the other seven countries to send envoys to come to discuss peace. Of course, our country will First accept the peace and friendship proposed by Her Majesty the Queen of Nanchang Kingdom."
Gu Xin'er was suspicious in her heart. The Nine Kingdoms Continent had always been filled with gunpowder, and now the other eight countries have always been afraid of the Shengxin Dynasty, so naturally they are also eyeing this great country.With the commanding ability of King Zhan and Gongsun Qingming's assistance, it may only be a matter of time before the eight countries are annexed.
"really?"
"Of course it is true." Gongsun Qingming replied straight away.
Gu Xiner couldn't care about the clues, she only cared about saving her life, "Okay! I hope you will keep your promise!"
※※※
On the next day, when he went to court, the ministers played a memorial to discuss the affairs of the country.
"Your Majesty! Now that the country is safe and peaceful, and the people are resting and recuperating, Nanchang Kingdom has sent envoys to negotiate a peace. I don't know what the Emperor wants?" The minister stepped forward and asked solemnly.
The little emperor Xuan Yi was sitting on the dragon chair, blinking his eyes with an innocent and cute face.
Feng Zhanxiu was dressed in a black python robe, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this king thinks that the peace negotiation should be accepted, and the two countries have a good relationship."
"Your Majesty, I agree with the regent's proposal." Gongsun Qingming answered.
Now that the two important ministers said so, who would dare to object?
The little emperor Xuan Yi said in a clear, childlike voice, "Quick play!"
On that day, Gu Xiner wrote seven letters and sent seven attendants to Chuqi Kingdom, Beiliao Kingdom, Dashang Kingdom, Yeyue Kingdom, Xichi Kingdom, Yan Kingdom and Geqiu Kingdom.
In the bright afternoon, Xiao Xuanyi finished reading, and now it was time to practice martial arts.
Just after eating, his small figure rushed out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and happily ran to the martial arts field. While running, he shouted to the two people behind him, "Auntie! Uncle Gongsun! I'm leaving!"
"Your Majesty! Run slowly!" Mingzhu couldn't help exhorting.
"Got it!" The little guy replied, but he had already run away.
Gongsun Qingming looked at the little guy's disappearing figure, and said quietly, "After all, the emperor is just a child."
Mingzhu nodded approvingly, then turned to look at him suddenly, and said softly, "Brother, thank you for helping me so much."
"I'm not helping you, I'm helping the emperor." Gongsun Qingming smiled warmly, and simply said everything.He withdrew his gaze, and turned to look at the peach blossoms that had just bloomed, clusters of pink flower branches, which dissipated all the previous severe cold, "If you really want to thank me, why don't you give me some rare treasures."
When Mingzhu heard this, she turned out to be a bit ignorant of him, "The emperor decreed that the prime minister is loyal, and you can choose one or two of the treasures in the treasure house of the palace."
A businessman is still a businessman, it really cannot be changed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Gongsun Qingming bowed with his fan in both hands.
The two looked at the sky together, feeling the comfort of the breeze.
"Long live the emperor!" On the way from the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the Martial Arts Field, eunuchs and palace guards helped each other to greet him.
Xiao Xuanyi bounced forward, running wildly all the way.In order to take a shortcut, and fearing that he would be punished by the emperor if he was late, he always walked around the imperial garden.As soon as he crossed the small bridge, he saw a court lady pushing a wheelchair walking towards him. The little guy was always afraid of the Queen Mother, so he stopped and shouted softly, "The Queen Mother!"
It's just that this sudden meeting was too coincidental.
Murong Feixue's eyes were extremely sharp, as if she was about to shoot thousands of arrows, coldly shooting at that little figure.
"Tui'er, Ai's family is a bit cold, you go get a cloak for Ai's family." Murong Feixue said softly.
"Yes! Empress Dowager!" Tweety answered hurriedly, turned around and left.
Murong Feixue stared at Xiao Xuanyi without blinking, her gloomy expression was swept away, but she smiled kindly and said, "I heard that the emperor has chosen the regent as his teacher, are you rushing to practice martial arts right now?" ?”
Xiao Xuanyi raised his head and saw her smiling at him, he was no longer nervous, and gradually relaxed, "Yes, I'm about to go to practice martial arts."
"The emperor likes the regent very much?" Murong Feixue asked again.
"I like Uncle Huang the most." Xiao Xuanyi blurted out without thinking, her big eyes narrowed into two little moons.
Murong Feixue nodded, but her eyes were gloomy.Her hand trembled, and the towel in her hand fell to the ground. She wanted to pick it up, but she couldn't bend down. Even if she stretched her hand to reach it, she couldn't reach it.
"Queen Mother, I'll help you!" Seeing her difficulty, Xiao Xuanyi said innocently.The little guy immediately ran to her side, bent down to pick up the handkerchief on the ground, and handed it to her again, "Queen Mother, your handkerchief!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Murong Feixue's vicissitudes of face were wrinkled, she looked at Xiao Xuanyi, and took the handkerchief.But when her hand took the towel, she grabbed his little hand and didn't let go.
Xiao Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, and shouted with some fear, "Queen Mother!"
"Why does your majesty like the regent so much?" Murong Feixue asked coldly, holding his little hand tightly.
Xiao Xuanyi looked anxious, and replied childishly, "Because the emperor uncle is the best."
"Okay?" Murong Feixue sneered, her eyes sparkled, and she said gloomyly, "He is not kind to you. Your uncle killed your father and your mother. How could he be kind to you?" .You have never met your father, do you want to know how he died? He was beaten to death by your favorite emperor!"
Xiao Xuanyi's eyes were red with fright, and he shouted loudly, "You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense! I don't believe it!"
"Haha! The Ai family is not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, go ask your emperor's uncle and ask your aunt! Listen to how they answered you!" Murong Feixue's face turned ugly, but she was crazy, "You are just a The evil seed! The evil seed that no one wants! He will not like you! He just thinks you are pitiful!"
Xiao Xuanyi struggled uneasily, and shook her hand vigorously, "You talk nonsense! I don't believe it!"
The little guy took a few steps back, his little face was full of tears, he bit his lips, turned and ran away.
Murong Feixue glanced at his leaving figure, raised the corners of her lips, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Hehe! Hehehe!"
Her laughter hovered in the sky of the imperial garden, and it lingered for a long time.
※※※
The rising sun is in the sky, shining brightly.
In the martial arts arena, a small figure is gaiting and punching.
Feng Zhanxiu stood aside, watching his every move, with a solemn expression, like a strict teacher.Seeing that the little guy seemed to be unable to support himself, and his horse gait was not steady, he looked at it with deep eyes, and shouted sharply, "Squat down, and don't deviate by half an inch. If you are a martial arts practitioner, you can't bear even this little bit of suffering. Then it won’t be a big weapon.”
Xiao Xuanyi remained silent, but he still remembered what happened just now in his mind.
"You're actually distracted!" Feng Zhanxiu yelled again, and the cane yanked towards his calf.Although it looked very hard, but he grasped the strength, in fact it didn't hurt at all, it was just a show.
Xiao Xuanyi was wronged in his heart, and everything the queen mother said made him feel scared.He thought about it, and couldn't help it anymore.He stopped gaiting, he stood up straight, and proudly raised his head to look at Feng Zhanxiu, but his dark eyes were already reddened, a kind of unspeakable expectation.
"What happened?" Feng Zhanxiu saw that something was wrong with him, and threw the rattan with his hands.
At this moment, in front of Xiao Xuanyi, he is still his favorite uncle.
"Uncle Huang!" Xiao Xuanyi yelled, with a sad expression on his face, "Uncle Huang likes Xuan Yi!"
Feng Zhanxiu was taken aback, thinking he was about to say something.Looking at the innocent face of the little guy, he couldn't help reaching out and touching his little head, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, continue practicing martial arts!"
"Uncle Huang!" Xiao Xuanyi shouted again, holding his big hand with his little hand.He hesitated for a long time, thought for a long time, squirmed his lips, trembled his voice, and finally asked, "Did the emperor kill Dad?"
The surroundings were suddenly quiet, even the sound of the wind was still.
Feng Zhanxiu stared blankly at Xuan Yi's expectant little face, and he suddenly lost his voice.
"Uncle Emperor?" Xiao Xuanyi waited and waited, then shouted tremblingly again.
Feng Zhanxiu withdrew the big hand that was stroking his little head, and a tall figure was pressed down by his proud body, completely covering the little him.A pair of eagle eyes were deep and unwavering, but something secretly emerged from the bottom of the eyes.He was very calm, opened his mouth quietly, and only answered with one word, "Yes!"
"Daddy was really killed by the emperor." Xiao Xuanyi didn't seem to believe it. He wanted to go forward, but he was too scared to go forward. He looked at Feng Zhanxiu, whom he had always respected and admired in his life. Emperor uncle.He pursed his lips, and suddenly burst into tears, "How could the emperor kill my father, the emperor killed my father!"
Xiao Xuanyi has never met his father, and he has asked others more than once who his father is and where his father has gone.But no one told him.Only once, Eunuch De told him secretly that his father was such a great man.Those beautiful words made him have a dreamlike reverence for his father.
But at this moment, this dream was suddenly shattered.
A child's dream is shattered.
"I don't like the emperor anymore! I don't like it anymore!" Xiao Xuanyi cried sadly, and shouted at him sadly, clenched his fists, turned around, and ran away with big strides.
And Feng Zhanxiu looked at his running away figure, standing alone in the same place, like a thousand-year-old ghost.
※※※
"He didn't treat you well. Your uncle killed your father and your mother."
"Aijia is not talking nonsense, if you don't believe me, just ask your emperor's uncle and your aunt!"
"You're just an evil seed! An evil seed that no one wants! He won't like you! He just thinks you are pitiful!"
The queen mother's words kept ringing in Xiao Xuanyi's ears.
Xiao Xuanyi ran back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation sullenly, tears had already blurred his vision, and he could no longer see who was who.The small figure rushed into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, only to see my aunt standing not far away.He opened his arms and threw himself into Mingzhu's arms, tears kept flowing, crying more and more sadly.
"Auntie!" Xiao Xuanyi yelled sobbing, and buried her head deep in her arms.
Mingzhu was suspicious, squatted down in front of him, and hurriedly took out a towel to wipe away his tears, "What's wrong? Why are you crying so hard?"
"Auntie..." Xiao Xuanyi cried and looked at Little Walnut, and said intermittently, "The queen mother said that the emperor's uncle killed my father, and my mother was also killed by the emperor's uncle. The queen mother also said that I am an unwanted child. Uncle Huang doesn't like me at all! I'll ask Uncle Huang if Dad was killed by Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang said yes."
"Woooooo-"
Mingzhu's thoughts suddenly became chaotic, she didn't expect Murong Feixue to say such a thing to a child, and she didn't expect Feng Zhanxiu to admit it.She hugged Xuan Yi into her arms, patted him gently, and comforted him softly, "Xuan Yi is good, Xuan Yi is obedient, stop crying, stop crying."
"Woooooo!" The little guy kept crying, crying even more sadly.
After a long time, he was finally tired from crying, and lay on Mingzhu's shoulder in silence.
On that day, Ming Zhu stayed in the palace and did not return to the Prince Regent's Mansion.During dinner, Xiao Xuanyi obviously had no appetite. He stared at the delicacies on the table for a long time, holding the chopsticks in his hand but did not move them for a long time.Eunuch De couldn't stand it anymore, so he yelled, and he took two mouthfuls of rice.
I was bored after a meal, and lost the usual joy.
In the dead of night, the palace is even more secluded.
Candles were flickering in the dormitory, and Mingzhu was by Xiao Xuanyi's side, sitting on the edge of the bed and telling him stories.After finishing a story, she turned her head to look, and saw the little guy lying on the bed, clutching the quilt with his little hands, his eyes blinking dryly, but she didn't know if he had listened.
"Okay, go to bed early." Mingzhu stroked his forehead to comfort him, she pinched the corner of the quilt for him again, and then got up to leave.
But at this time, someone behind her grabbed the corner of her clothes.
Mingzhu turned her head to look, but saw Xiao Xuanyi's uneasy face, lowered her head and said sullenly, "Auntie, can you sleep with me?"
Mingzhu naturally knows that he has been used to sleeping alone since he was a child, although he is mischievous, he has always been obedient and well-behaved.Even when Liu Shuiyao passed away, he didn't ask her to stay with him.It seems that what Murong Feixue said dealt a great blow to the little guy, making it hard for him to accept it.
"Okay. Auntie will accompany you." Mingzhu softened her eyes and agreed softly.
Only then did Xiao Xuanyi show a smiling face, lifted a corner of the quilt, and Mingzhu lay down.The two slept on the same bed, covered with a quilt, Xiao Xuanyi curled up and turned to her sideways, as if looking for warmth.Mingzhu reached out to hug him, and patted him gently, "Sleep well, aunt will always be with you."
"Auntie." Xiao Xuanyi buried her head in front of her chest, and said in a low childish voice, "Is everything the Queen Mother said true?"
Mingzhu froze for a moment, but still nodded.
"Why did the uncle kill daddy?" Xiao Xuanyi asked again.
"Because..." Mingzhu thought again and again, then said lightly, "There was a quarrel. They quarreled."
"Arguing?" Xiao Xuanyi pursed her lips and said very sadly, "From now on, Xuan Yi hates quarreling the most. The emperor killed my father, and I don't like the emperor anymore."
Children's likes and likes are so simple and straightforward.
Mingzhu hugged Xiaoxuanyi tightly, and asked softly, "Then what about the teacher who practices martial arts in the future, should you let Uncle Huang teach you?"
Xiao Xuanyi was silent for a long time, but said in a very principled way, "The teacher is the teacher, and the emperor is the emperor."
"Go to sleep."
"En—" Xiao Xuanyi finally fell into a deep sleep.
But Mingzhu was thinking of someone, wondering if he fell asleep alone in Nuoda's palace.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the officials went to court.
Xiao Xuanyi sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, the courtiers lowered their heads, and did not see the little emperor's big eyes were slightly red and swollen, apparently he cried for a long time last night.The little man has such an arrogant expression. Even though he is a baby, he already has a thousand demeanors. It seems that he will be a deterrent king in the future.
Feng Zhanxiu stood silently in front of the ministers, without saying a word, with no strange expression on his face.
Gongsun Qingming was suspicious, he caught a glimpse of the little emperor's red and swollen eyes, and glanced at Feng Zhanxiu calmly.
What happened?
"If you have something to do, go to the court if you have nothing to do—" Eunuch De shouted loudly.
The ministers were silent, and Eunuch De shouted again, "Retire!"
