Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 1058 Palace Assassination, First Meeting Third Brother (2)
"A Rui."

She sat down, feeling a little upset, but still maintained a bit of reason.She held her breath and did not detect any strange aura, so she opened her mouth.

"In the past, I always felt that the state teacher was allowed to control the government, and his prestige was even higher than that of the emperor. Such an emperor is either cowardly by nature or controlled. But no matter what the situation is, it shows a problem. The emperor is a puppet. Sooner or later Give up your country and mountains to others."

She took a deep breath and looked at the redbuds in full bloom outside the window.

"But now I realize that I was wrong. It turns out that cowardice is just an appearance, forbearance is just a kind of dormancy, and compromise is only for a more powerful confrontation in the future."

Situ Rui was indifferent for a long time before he said, "How much time does Your Majesty have?"

Qiu Mingyue sneered, her eyes were misty and she couldn't see clearly.

"If a person's heart is dead, he is still alive. I felt his pulse just now, and his pulse has already been exhausted, but he is just holding on." She thought for a while, and her voice lowered.

"Hanging with good medicine, I can probably survive two or three months."

This result is not unexpected, "When will His Majesty enshrine you?"

"He said that he will make an order in the morning."

Situ Rui was silent again.

Qiu Mingyue looked up at him, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking, maybe you should meet your third brother, the third prince."

Qiu Mingyue smiled, "He really has no ambition? Willing to give up the throne to me?" She was a little puzzled, "There are few men in the world who don't love power, especially those born in the emperor's family. few."

Situ Rui also smiled, "The third prince is not the kind of person you think. You will understand when you meet him. Although he has a lot of money, he loves idle clouds and wild cranes the most, but he is not interested in politics at all. It's been so many years The reason why he has survived with a weak body in the constant battles between the princes and daughters of Xirong. He is talented but has no ambitions, and all the princes and daughters want to win him over. He feels that these princes and princes are useless. He didn't say anything. But when he sees you, he will probably make a choice."

"So confident in me?"

When he said it in a slightly joking tone, the heavy gloom in Qiu Mingyue's heart dissipated a little, and she couldn't help laughing: "What would he do without me?"

Situ Rui lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "I will take over the throne. If I can't find a suitable heir among the royal family, I will find a suitable heir among the lords of the Three Kingdoms to unify the world, and then I will entrust Xirong to you."

Qiu Mingyue widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.Then he said somewhat strangely and somewhat clearly: "You dare to say that your remarks, which are different from those who are supreme in imperial power, are all influenced by my third brother? It really is true that things of a kind gather and people are divided into groups. Now I really understand this sentence meaning."

She rested her chin in one hand, as if thinking seriously.

"Listening to what you said, I'm really curious about my third brother who I've never met."

"You'll see him."

Situ Rui's gaze suddenly became meaningful, "You have always rejected your identity as the Seventh Princess of Xirong, but now you have adapted quickly, but because of Your Majesty?"

Qiu Mingyue was startled, and only then did she realize that she had acquiesced that the third prince of Xirong was her imperial brother.She lowered her head and bit her lips, thinking of the old emperor Duanmu she met just now, the biological father of her body.Why was the queen framed by concubines and had to let her daughter live among the people?In the final analysis, it wasn't because of Duanmu's flirtatiousness.If he didn't have so many concubines, how could he not be able to save his own wife from being murdered?

Just like how she did to Mr. Qiu back then, she still couldn't agree in her heart that he married another woman even though he had no choice but to love Shen Shi deeply.Now the old emperor Duanmu is said to have a deep affection for her mother.Well, at least her mother never doted on the concubine after she entered the palace.Speaking of it this way, it is purer than the old man's infatuation.

The old emperor Duanmu said that he had looked for her, but at that time the national teacher had already controlled the government, and he was depressed because of his wife's death, and his rights were almost emptied.He knew that the national teacher sent her away and that she was raised by his cousin.Xirong seems to have been peaceful in recent years, but in fact it is also undercurrents.For example, those who support the National Teacher prefer to oppose the National Teacher, secretly fighting in full swing.

How could he, the Emperor of Xirong, watch the country that his ancestors brought down be buried in his hands?Therefore, he worked hard to maintain the balance between the court and China, but he could not offend the already powerful national teacher.It's just that his health has declined more and more these years, how can he beat the national teacher?Under such circumstances, if he insisted on taking his daughter back, he would not only offend the imperial teacher, but even if his daughter returned to the palace, without any support, he alone would not be able to protect her comprehensively.

In fact, Qiu Mingyue really wanted to tell him that the national teacher was his mother-in-law, and she was the national teacher's granddaughter, and she was the guarantee for her restoration of the country.In any case, she would not kill herself.But looking at the old face of the old emperor Duanmu, she suddenly softened again.Maybe it's just the instinct of blood relationship, just like her dependence on Shen Shi back then.

If the old emperor Duanmu knew about this relationship, he would probably regret it.He already looked like he was running out of fuel, if he was hit like this, he might not be able to live for a few more days.

She wasn't very kind, but she suddenly felt that keeping the old emperor Duanmu should help her gain power.And she always believed that as an emperor, no matter what, it was impossible not to have half of the military power in his hands.

and so--

She touched her already protruding belly, it has been four months.In June, it was easy to see that she was pregnant by wearing thin clothes.

"A Rui."

"Ok?"

Situ Rui looked up at her.

Qiu Mingyue pursed her lips and said, "I just told him to let you be my personal bodyguard to protect my safety at all times. He agreed, but your status is different, so your consent is required."

Situ Rui's eyes lit up, "It's a great honor."

The corners of Qiu Mingyue's mouth rose slightly, she was not surprised by this answer.At this time, only with Situ Rui by her side can she feel at ease.

"Ari, thank you."

Situ Rui lowered his eyelashes, then slowly raised his head to look at her, his eyes were as deep as the ocean, intertwined with layers of entwined vines, so complicated that Qiu Mingyue couldn't see clearly.

"Why say thank you, you know that I do all these things willingly."

Qiu Mingyue was startled, she turned her head away, avoiding his sudden scorching gaze.She has been with Situ Rui for a long time. Although she knows that Situ Rui has feelings for her, he has always been polite and courteous, and has never acted arbitrarily.Even the demeanor is as gentle as jade, without any persecution.Today, it was the first time that he said such ambiguous words, and the first time that he looked at her like a man looks at his beloved without hesitation.
