Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 132 Mutation
When they arrived outside Ziyun Hall, the guards at the gate did not expect the emperor to come at this time, and after being surprised, they all knelt down to pay their respects.

Emperor Zhaoping entered the courtyard gate and walked towards the inner hall without saying a word.

Because Xiao Jing was in Ji Yu's room, Ji Yu's confidant maid sent everyone else away, and only one person was guarding the room. It was at dawn when she was sleepy, she dozed off, and suddenly saw many people walking towards this side.

When it was clear, Emperor Zhaoping and Concubine Xian had already arrived.

She panicked, and just about to greet Ji Yu loudly to remind Ji Yu in the room, she heard the emperor say, "How is Zhaoyi, please don't greet her, don't wake her up!"

The maid crouched down in panic, and shouted, "Yes! This servant obeys!"

When Emperor Zhaoping saw her panicked face and flickering eyes, he knew that there was something strange in the hall, his eyes turned cold, and he walked quickly to the inner hall.

Pushing open the door and entering, I saw Ji Yu and Xiao Jingzheng rolling down from the bed in panic, naked and dressed in disorderly clothes.
, Qiqi knelt on the ground.

Emperor Zhaoping looked at the two in shock, but didn't react for a while.

Concubine Xian was more like a thunderbolt, staring at her son dumbfounded.

"Father, I made a mistake, I know my mistake!" Xiao Jing knelt on the ground with disheveled clothes, and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty!" Ji Yu hugged her clothes tightly, her face pale and trembling.

Emperor Zhaoping exuded a murderous aura all over his body, walked over slowly, and slapped Xiao Jing on the face, "You bastard!"

Concubine Xian also rushed over, and slapped Ji Yu's face with both hands, "Bitch, you actually seduced Jing'er! I will kill you bitch!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have mercy!" Ji Yu's hair was disheveled, with bloodstains on her face scratched by Concubine Xian, she tried her best to hide behind Xiao Jing.

Concubine Xian knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "Your Majesty, it's none of Jing'er's business. Jing'er is still a child. This bitch must be seducing Jing'er, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Zhaoping kicked Xiao Jing on the shoulder, "Nizi, I don't have a son who is as shameless as you!"

With a livid face, he turned and walked out, shouting angrily, "Come on! Put them all in prison!"

"Your Majesty, don't! If you do this, Jing'er will ruin his whole life!" Concubine Xian hugged Emperor Zhaoping's leg, begging in pain.

Xiao Jing raised his head suddenly, the panic in his eyes gradually turned into unwillingness and cruelty, he gritted his teeth, got up, grabbed a vase on the table and threw it at the back of Emperor Zhaoping's head!

There was a loud "bang", and all the sounds stopped!

The sound of begging for mercy and crying stopped at this moment.

Blood oozed from the back of Emperor Zhaoping's head, he turned around slowly, stared at his son with wide eyes in shock, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Eunuch Fu was the first to react, rushed over in horror, raised his head and scolded, "King Zhao, you, you dare to kill the emperor, you, this is treason!"

Xiao Jing showed a ferocious face, with blue veins popping out on his forehead, gasping for breath, he picked up the sword on the ground, and stabbed it at Eunuch Fu's chest.

Blood spurted out, and the little eunuchs behind Emperor Zhaoping widened their eyes in horror, trying to run away in a panic.

"stop!"

Xiao Jing shouted coldly, "Whoever dares to move again, I will kill him immediately!"

Several young eunuchs plopped and knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, spare your life, Your Highness, spare your life!"

"Jing'er, you killed your father?" Concubine Xian fell to her knees on the ground, her face pale.

Xiao Jing walked up to Emperor Zhaoping, put his hand under his nose, and said coldly, "He's not dead yet, I still need him, he can't die!"

"Mother Concubine!" Xiao Jing turned his head to look at the frightened Concubine Xian, "Mother Concubine, if the emperor passes the throne to Xiao Lie, then there will be no place for us, mother and son, instead of waiting to die. Why don't you give it a go!"

Concubine Xian's face was frightened, she kept swallowing her throat, and said in a hoarse voice, "What do you want to do?"

"Mother and concubine, as long as the father is in our hands, then this beam will be the world of our mother and son, don't you understand?" Xiao Jing sneered.

Concubine Xian looked at him in astonishment.

Xiao Jing's eyes were full of viciousness, he turned his head to look at Ji Yu with a sluggish face, "Yu'er, what the king gave you, feed it to the emperor!"

Ji Yu shook her head in a panic and kept backing away.

"Hurry up!" Xiao Jing shouted sharply.

Ji Yu's face was shocked, she had never seen Xiao Jing like this before, and she couldn't help feeling afraid, a layer of sweat broke out in the palm of her hand holding the pill, and she walked slowly towards Emperor Zhaoping.

The pill was stuffed into Emperor Zhaoping's mouth, and the woman sat down on the ground.

"Be obedient!" Xiao Jing said coldly, got up slowly, opened the door of the hall, Jin Sheng was guarding outside the hall with a few forbidden soldiers.

"Your Highness, the gate of the palace has been opened, and ministers have already entered the court!"

The sun in the east had just turned pale, and the light was dim. Xiao Jing's eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation, and he said in a low voice, "Let Eunuch Bai announce the decree. Your Majesty is in poor health. Please rest for a few days."

"Yes!" Jin Sheng responded and left.

Xiao Jing said to the servant behind him, "Carry father and me back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

Outside guarding the imperial guards crossing swords, the palace servants did not dare to resist, so they lifted Emperor Zhaoping up and hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Concubine Xian and Ji Yu followed behind.

As the sky was getting brighter, Zhang Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, and Yao Ting, the doctor of imperial history, entered the palace together, and stood outside the Zhenggan Hall, waiting to go to court.

Xiao Lie was approaching in the distance, Yao Ting looked up and nodded slightly to Xiao Lie.

Xiao Lie had a calm and handsome face, standing at the front of the group of officials, with a tall and straight figure, carrying inherent dignity.

Hundreds of officials gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing, waiting for the door of the palace to open.

After a while, Xiao Jing came over and stood in front of Xiao Lie, Yan Yan smiled and said, "I slept too deeply last night, I got up late!"

Xiao Lie smiled lightly, "Brother Huang is busy with work, maybe he's too tired recently!"

"Yes, yes! You and I should be able to share the worries of our father no matter how tired we are!" Xiao Jing said with a smile.

Suddenly the door of the palace opened wide, and several palace servants came out in a file. In the middle was Eunuch Bai, the personal eunuch of Emperor Zhaoping.

"The emperor's body is unwell, and the court will be closed today. All the ministers, please go back!"

A high-pitched voice sounded outside the hall, and everyone was shocked. The emperor is sick?

Emperor Zhaoping has always been diligent and rarely fails to go to court. It seems that he is seriously ill this time.

Xiao Lie took a step forward and asked quietly, "What's wrong with Father?"

"Your Majesty got up early and felt unwell. The imperial physician is treating you. No one is there now. Your Highnesses and all the ministers should go back first!" Mr. Bai justified, turned around and left with a few servants behind him.

"Father is sick? Then let Father rest!" Xiao Jing smiled, looked at Xiao Lie, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui also go back!"

Xiao Lie's face was gloomy, with pensive eyes.

Zhang Yuan and others were even more puzzled, this is too coincidental!

After leaving the palace, Zhang Yuan and Yao Bin went to Prince Rui's residence.

Sitting down in the study, Xiao Lie frowned slightly with a cold expression, and said softly, "Something is wrong!"

"Yes, Xie Shijun was interrogated last night. Today, just as I was about to report to the emperor, the emperor unexpectedly fell ill at this time. It's such a coincidence that it makes people feel strange!" Zhang Yuan pondered.

"What's happening in the palace?" Yao Ting asked.

"Last night, I heard that the emperor did ask the palace people to recruit the imperial physician!" Zhang Yuan said.

Xiao Lie suddenly raised his head, "Who was the person who interrogated Xie Shiyun with Mr. Zhang last night?"

Zhang Yuan was startled, and immediately replied, "It's Jin Sheng, the commander of the forbidden army!"

Xiao Lie's face turned cold, "Why did he interrogate Xie Shiyun for the Lord?"

"The lower official guessed that the man would send a killer, so he was ready to wait. Last night, Commander Jin suddenly came to the Ministry of Punishment, and the emperor ordered him to come to assist the lower official. Commander Jin is very skilled in martial arts, and he is also the emperor's confidant. The next official has no doubts, so does he have a problem?" Zhang Yuan frowned.

Xiao Lie nodded slowly, "The problem should be on him. This king will send someone to watch him in the next few days."

Zhang Yuan's face was heavy, thinking of a certain possibility, he suddenly said in surprise, "Don't they dare to..."

"People are pushed into a hurry, and they can do anything! Wait another day, and the king will go to the palace tomorrow to meet his mother and concubine. You should be able to know what's going on in the palace!" Xiao Lie said solemnly.

"Yes!"

Zhang Yuan and Yao Jin frowned, if all this was planned by Xiao Jing behind the scenes, then the emperor would be in danger right now!

When Qiao An came home, Su Jiu was about to go out, seeing him in shock, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Qiao An lowered her head, as if she was thinking about something, she hurriedly raised her head and said, "The emperor is ill, and he will take a day off today."

Su Jiu saw that Qiao An's expression was not right, and asked, "Is the emperor seriously ill?"

Qiao An shook her head, "I don't know, it was fine yesterday, but today I suddenly can't go to court!"

Su Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that something was about to happen.

"The boss wants to go out?" Qiao An asked with a smile, not thinking about it.

"Hmm! Let's go and have a look at the firm!" Su Jiu said.

"Leader go early and come back early!"

The two said goodbye, Qiao An continued to walk into the yard, Su Jiu and Er Mao went to Suzaku Street.

At noon, the nanny was making soup for Su Jiu in the kitchen, and Li Xin entered the bedroom with the washed clothes for Su Jiu in her hand.

Putting the folded clothes in the closet, Li Xin saw a huge mahogany box in the corner.

Very curious about what Su Jiu was doing with a big box in the room, Li Xin walked over, raised her hand to open it, and was startled for a moment.

The box contained luxurious satin dresses and jewelry, the materials were soft and smooth to the touch, and the embroidery was exquisite, all of which she had never seen before.

Li Xin's heart skipped a beat, and when she turned her head and saw no one was outside the window, she took out a set of lake-green dresses and compared them to herself.

"It's so beautiful!" The girl couldn't help praising, walked to the bronze mirror, and looked at the girl in the mirror with a shy face.

If she wore such clothes, she would be as beautiful as Su Jiu.

The girl couldn't bear the temptation, took off her clothes, carefully put on the skirt, and took a few pieces of jewelry from the box and put them on her temples facing the bronze mirror.

Looking left and right in front of the bronze mirror, the girl liked it more and more.

She doesn't have a mother, and her father is very busy on weekdays. No one taught her how to dress up, and the clothes she bought were all the simplest and cheapest styles. Today, when she saw these dresses, her heart was immediately moved.

She is really envious of Su Jiu, there are so many people supporting her, and she has such beautiful clothes.

Li Xin went to the low couch and lay down, with his head turned inward,
I just feel that I have become Su Jiu at this time.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and it was warm and comfortable to bask in people's body. Li Xin unconsciously felt sleepy, and his consciousness fell into chaos.

The door opened with a creak, and Xiao Lie walked in. Looking at the woman lying on the couch, his gloomy mood suddenly dissipated like a cloud.

Walking slowly, Xiao Lie was sitting on the edge of the couch, gently combing the girl's black hair, with a soft voice,

"Why are you sleeping at this hour? Have you had lunch yet?"

Li Xin's head was buried in the soft pillow, his whole body trembled, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't move at all.

Xiao Lie frowned suddenly, stood up abruptly, his handsome face turned cold, "Who are you?"

"Plop..." Li Xin rolled down from the low couch, and said in panic, "This servant did it on purpose, Your Highness forgive me!"

There was chill in Xiao Lie's eyes, and his tone was indifferent and cold, "Who will allow you to wear Ah Jiu's clothes!"

Li Xin was so frightened that she was at a loss, she hurriedly reached out to untie her clothes, trying to take them off in a panic.

Xiao Lie frowned, turned and walked out.

Li Xin's clothes were half off, seeing the man's determined figure, his heart ached, he gritted his teeth and ran to Xiao Lie, looking at the man with admiration, "Your Highness, Xin'er wants to follow you!"

Xiao Lie's long eyes were gloomy and indifferent, and he reached out to brush her away.

Suddenly, the door was opened, and Su Jiu walked in briskly, and was startled when she saw the situation in front of her.

Xiao Lie and Li Xin stood together, the important thing is that Li Xin's clothes are disheveled...

"Ah Jiu!" Xiao Lie's heart sank slightly.

And Li Xin whimpered as if he was wronged, quickly put on the clothes on his body, turned around and ran out.

As if being bullied.

Xiao Lie's face was gloomy, as if dripping water, he looked straight at Su Jiu, "Ah Jiu, do you believe me?"

Su Jiu frowned, "What happened?"

Xiao Lie's eyebrows turned cold, "Li Xin can't stay!"

Su Jiu was slightly taken aback.

In the afternoon, Li Xin was sent back to the restaurant, and Su Jiu personally sent her back.

Li Xin was crying in the carriage, "Miss, the servant didn't do it on purpose, the servant made a mistake!"

Su Jiu looked at her indifferently, "Li Xin, do you like Xiao Lie?"

Li Xin cried for a while, lowered her head and covered her lips with a silk handkerchief, and nodded slowly after a while.

"Then I can't keep you anymore!"

Li Xin knelt down to Su Jiu, "Miss, Your Highness saved the slave's life. If there was no boneless ginseng, the slave would have died long ago. Please let the slave stay with you and Prince Rui, and be a slave for the rest of your life." Maid, servant is also willing!"

Su Jiu's eyes were slightly cold, "Are you really willing to be your servant?"

If you are really willing, you will not have what happened today.

Li Xin looked at Su Jiu with teary eyes.

Su Jiu turned her gaze out of the window, and said in a low voice, "You are still young, and you don't really understand some things, so go back to the restaurant first!"

Li Xin burst into tears and choked up.

Su Jiu sent Li Xin back to the restaurant without giving a reason, but Li Tai knew that Li Xin must have made a mistake, so he hurriedly apologized to Su Jiu.

The next day, Emperor Zhaoping was not recovered and still rested.

This time, all the officials in court, Chinese, military and military officials were not calm. What kind of illness did the emperor have, and he actually had to rest for two days? This has never happened before.

However, the father-in-law who sent the message refused to say a word, and turned back to the inner palace.

With coldness in his eyes, Xiao Lie left the Zhenggan Hall and walked towards the Magnolia Palace.

However, Concubine Rong Gui did not see the emperor these two days, so she didn't know what happened.

"I also invite my concubine to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!" Xiao Lie said in a deep voice.

Concubine Rong seemed to understand Xiao Lie's worry, she shook her head slowly, "No, they can't be so bold!"

"Xie Shijun has already confessed his collusion with Xiao Jing, at this moment, they can do anything!"

Concubine Rong looked slightly startled, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I will go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation now!"

"My son is waiting here!"

Concubine Rong nodded, and hurried out of the palace gate with a few palace attendants.

The imperial concubine stood guard outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and as soon as Concubine Rong approached, she was stopped, "Please come back, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not feeling well, and no one will be seen!"

"Presumptuous! You can stop the imperial concubine from coming to see the emperor, why don't you hurry up and retreat!" the aunt in charge behind Concubine Rong shouted coldly.

The guard lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty redeems, and the villain also obeys orders!"

"The Empress Dowager also heard that the Emperor is ill, so she specially ordered my palace to visit. Do you want to stop the Empress Dowager's order?" Concubine Rong said calmly and calmly.

"This," the guard hesitated.

Concubine Rong's face was slightly cold, and she walked quickly inside.

"Your Majesty's Concubine!"

The guard was startled and hurried to catch up.

"Who is this Gongdao who is making noise here and disturbing the emperor's cleanliness? It turns out to be Concubine Rong!" Concubine Xian walked out with Ji Yu, laughing softly.

Ji Yu hurriedly paid her respects, "I have seen the imperial concubine in person!"

Concubine Rong looked at the two and narrowed her eyes slightly, "So my sister is here!"

"Yes, the emperor is not feeling well, let me and sister Zhaoyi serve here, and no one else will be seen! Concubine Rong, go back, even if you want to see the emperor, wait until the emperor is well!" Concubine Xian laughed.

"The empress dowager was worried about the emperor, so she asked my concubine to come to visit me. I can't explain to the empress dowager if I don't see the emperor!" Rong Guifei
Said softly, walked slowly inside.

"Sister, is this trying to resist the edict?" Concubine Xian stopped her.

"The concubine is serving the Queen Mother's edict, how can she resist the edict?" Concubine Rong's Qingmei face was tough, and she strode towards the bedroom regardless of Concubine Xian's obstruction.

"Concubine Rong!"

Concubine Xian gave a sharp cry and hurriedly chased after her.

Pushing the door open, he suddenly heard Emperor Zhaoping ask in a hoarse voice, "Who?"

Concubine Rong stopped there immediately, "Your Majesty, it's a concubine! The Empress Dowager is worried about the emperor's health, so she specially asked my concubine to come and visit her!"

"I'm not feeling well, I don't want to be disturbed, go back! Tell the Queen Mother, I'm fine!" Emperor Zhaoping said calmly.

"Yes!" Concubine Rong frowned.

"Well, let's go back, I'll see the oleander flowers in your palace in two days!" Emperor Zhaoping coughed.

"Yes, the concubine is leaving!" Concubine Rong clenched her hands tightly, her eyes flashed sharply, she turned and walked out.

Concubine Xian from behind gave a high-spirited smile, "I'm not wrong, my majesty is not seeing anyone!"

Concubine Rong glanced at her lightly, and walked slowly outside the palace.

After leaving the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Concubine Rong's feet softened and she almost fell.

The palace maid hurriedly supported her behind her, seeing Concubine Rong's pale and ugly face, she asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Concubine Rong took a deep breath, "Hurry up, go back to the palace!"

Sure enough, the emperor was kidnapped by them and had been poisoned, because there was no oleander in her palace, and oleander is a poisonous flower, the emperor was hinting at her.

In the sleeping hall, Xiao Jing put away the dagger on Emperor Zhaoping's neck, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Father, for your cooperation!"

Emperor Zhaoping was lying on the bed, with tight pain in his chest and pale face.
Shen Sheng asked, "Nizi! What exactly do you want?"

"I want my father to issue an order to make my son the crown prince immediately. After ten days, you will abdicate and give way to my son. My son will guarantee that my father and my concubine will take care of me and live a long life!"

Xiao Jing spent the whole day yesterday looking for Yuxi in the imperial study. As long as he has Yuxi, he can make an order without Emperor Zhaoping.

In a few days, Emperor Zhaoping was enthroned as emperor on the grounds that he was seriously ill.

Everything was in plan, and the only thing that surprised him was that Yuxi was not in the imperial study.

At least he and Eunuch Bai searched the entire imperial study room but couldn't find it.

Emperor Zhaoping closed his eyes and smiled coldly, "You are dreaming!"

Now that Xiao Jing has plotted against and killed his father, he still expects him to let him go?

"Father, you have been poisoned. If I don't give you the antidote every day, you will die of pain! Why bother? As long as you order me to be the crown prince, I will be filial to you!" Xiao Jing said confidently road.

"Don't even think about it!" Emperor Zhaoping spat out two words coldly.

Concubine Xian walked in, looked at Xiao Jing, and nodded slowly.

Xiao Jing retreated to the side, Concubine Xian stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, Jing'er has no choice but to do this! After all, he is also your son, you should have given him the throne in the first place, it's just a little earlier."

"Poison woman! Get out!" Emperor Zhaoping looked at Concubine Xian in disgust.

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows coldly, "If the emperor is so obsessed with obsession, no one can blame the concubine and Jinger! When the emperor dies, the throne will still belong to Jinger!"

"Do you think you can sit securely by sitting on the throne? The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty will not let you fiddle with it. Don't forget that there is also the King of Yunnan, who is also in Shengjing. Selected, as long as he doesn't admit it, you will never be justified!"

Emperor Zhaoping was emotional, and after speaking, he was out of breath.

"Father, don't worry, as long as this son-in-law becomes the crown prince, the king of Yunnan will obediently marry his daughter to his son-in-law. When the time comes, we will become a family, so how can we still object!" Xiao Jing smiled triumphantly.

"You won't succeed!" Emperor Zhaoping's face was pale, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his lips, and he lay on the bed gasping for breath.

"Father, don't get excited, you know that the more excited you are, the faster the onset of the poison will be!" Xiao Jing sneered, "If you hand over the jade seal, I will be grateful, and I will be as filial as before when I take the throne. You, if you don't hand it in, the minister can still find it, but at that time, there is no kindness between the minister and the emperor!"

Emperor Zhaoping closed his eyes and remained silent, as if he didn't want to say a word to the two mother and son.

"Very good, my father is so unfeeling, so I can't blame my son!" Xiao Jing snorted coldly, made Ji Yu look at Emperor Zhaoping, and took Concubine Xian out of the bedroom.

He just didn't believe that his father could hide the jade seal in the sky.

Concubine Rong returned to the Magnolia Palace, tried her best to keep calm, and after dismissing all the servants, she grabbed Xiao Lie's hand, "Lie'er, your father is in danger!"

"It really is them?" Xiao Lie frowned.

"Yes!" Concubine Rong said the situation after arriving at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, "That's right, the oleander that your father mentioned must be implying that I have been poisoned and cannot come to see the flowers, which means that he is not well now. up to you!"

"What should I do? Lie'er, will Xiao Jing treat your father?" Concubine Rong was full of anxiety.

"No!" Xiao Lie's eyes flashed coldly, and he said with a serious expression, "They coerce the father, and they will use the father to stabilize the officials, and they will not do it easily!"

"Then we must quickly rescue your royal father!" Concubine Rong said anxiously.

"Yes, my son will find a way!"

Concubine Rong rolled her eyes, her breathing became more stable, and she said seriously, "It's a matter of great importance, you must be very sure! I just entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation and found that there are guards in the dark, so you must not act rashly, so as not to harm you. Your father's life!"

"Yes, I know!" Xiao Lie looked cold, "It really is Jin Sheng!"

Jin Sheng is the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, and all the guards in the palace obey his orders. It turns out that there is such a poisonous snake hidden beside the emperor.

Jin Sheng has been the commander of the Imperial Army for ten years. He has always been loyal, never made a mistake, and has always been trusted by his father. He did not expect him to be Xiao Jing's man.

He also has secret guards in the palace, and he has never seen any communication between Jin Sheng and Xiao Jing, so this is Xiao Jing's trump card that has always been arrogant!

"Don't tell the emperor's grandmother beforehand, my son will definitely rescue my father safely!" Xiao Lie said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I understand!"

Concubine Rong regained her composure and nodded slowly.

When Xiao Lie left the palace and returned to the mansion, there were already several ministers waiting in the mansion, all of whom were Xiao Lie's confidantes in the court.

Seeing Xiao Lie's return, Zhang Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, how is the situation in the palace? Today, when the court was under court, Yu Xian was summoned by Eunuch Bai into the imperial study, saying that he was summoned by the emperor!"

"It's not Emperor Father, it's King Zhao!" Xiao Lie said softly with his dark eyes cold.

The ministers were slightly startled, and immediately understood the meaning, and said in surprise, "King Zhao has controlled Eunuch Bai, so the emperor..."

"Yes, father's situation is very bad!" Xiao Lie pursed his lips.

"King Zhao is so courageous, he dared to plot rebellion and do such a disrespectful thing!" Yao said angrily.

"King Zhao must have known that we already had his criminal evidence, so he jumped the wall and threatened the emperor!" Zhang Yuan frowned, "Is there really something wrong with Commander Jin?"

Xiao Lie nodded, "Now the Forbidden Army in the palace has been controlled by Xiao Jing!"

Everyone was shocked again.

Both the emperor and the imperial army are under Xiao Jing's control, so the entire palace is already under Xiao Jing's control.

"The lower officials were negligent, I didn't expect Jin Sheng to belong to Xiao Jing!" Zhang Yuan regretted.

Jin Sheng was able to command the imperial army and protect the safety of the emperor. He was almost the person most trusted by the emperor. However, for so many years, Jin Sheng had only obeyed the orders of Emperor Zhaoping alone, and he was not far or close to the three princes. Unexpectedly, he would betray the emperor and defect to King Zhao!
This person has been hiding for ten years, what a scheming heart!
"King Zhao must be coercing the emperor to make him the crown prince. We will never agree until we see the emperor!" Yao Ting said solemnly.

The other ministers responded one after another.

"I'm going to see General Nangong right away, and make him ready to come to the palace to rescue him at any time!" Xiao Lie's eyes were cold.

"Yes, even if the imperial army is under control, King Zhao will never want to do whatever he wants!"

Seeing Xiao Lie's calm expression, everyone quickly calmed down.

With hundreds of officials and Nangong Mansion loyal to the imperial court, King Zhao could not easily control Daliang.

"There is also the king of Yunnan, I will go to see the prince immediately! The palace of the king of Yunnan has the right to deny the crown prince, as long as he objects, the king of Zhao will take care of it to some extent!" Yao Shi, the official censor, reported.

The more important thing is to find out what the King of Yunnan is saying, before King Zhao and the Palace of the Prince of Yunnan were very close, Xia Cang should not collude with Xiao Jing, otherwise, the situation will get worse.

"Okay, let's split up! The safety of the father depends on the ministers. This king thanked all the adults on behalf of the father!" Xiao Lie said solemnly.

"Your Highness is welcome!"

"It's the duty of our courtiers to protect the emperor, so be determined and fight against the rebels to the end!"

"Yes, with the subordinate officials here, King Zhao can't succeed!"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and responded one after another.

Afterwards, Xiao Lie went to see the Nangong Mansion, and Yao Ting also went to see the King of Yunnan.

Old General Nangong was very shocked when he heard that the Emperor was kidnapped by King Zhao, "His Highness Prince Rui is sure?"

"Yes, mother and concubine have already been to the Hall of Mental Cultivation this morning, father and emperor have indeed been controlled by King Zhao's mother and son!" Xiao Lie said.

Nan Gongshu stood aside with a stern expression, "King Zhao's rebellious heart seems to have been there early in the morning!"

Xiao Lie and him looked at each other, and they both thought of Luo Sheng at the same time.

The old general Nangong slapped the table heavily, "Only relying on Jin Sheng alone, King Zhao dared to plot rebellion. It is really wishful thinking! With the old minister around, he would never succeed!"

Nan Gongshu frowned and said, "But now the emperor is being held hostage by King Zhao. Without the tiger talisman, the city defenders cannot enter the city. And if King Zhao threatens the emperor's life, we are still very passive!"

"Yes, this king has already thought of this! I just want General Nangong to be prepared. If there is any change in the palace, don't worry too much. Just go directly to the palace to rescue him and wipe out the rebels! If there is any crime, this king will bear it alone!" Xiao Lie Stern way.

Old General Nangong's eyebrows darkened, and he immediately said, "Yes, I will obey His Highness's orders at any time!"

"The final general will obey His Highness's order!"

Xiao Lie nodded slowly.

It was already evening when he returned to the palace, and Yao Ting was waiting for him.

"I've met Your Highness!" Yao Bin got up and came out to pay his respects.

"How about the King of Yunnan?" Xiao Lie walked in slowly, dressed in a black brocade robe, with a cold demeanor.

Yao Ting followed behind and said, "King Zhao has been very close to the Yunnan Palace recently, so he didn't say anything clearly after he went to the official. He only asked the Yunnan King's opinion on the establishment of a crown prince in the name of the emperor. The Yunnan King expressed his optimism for His Highness and was willing to support His Highness." For the prince. The lower official said that King Zhao might be threatening the emperor, the king of Yunnan was very surprised, and immediately wanted to enter the palace, but was stopped by the lower official!"

Xiao Lie nodded, "Even if the king of Yunnan enters the palace, he might not be able to see his father!"

"Yes, that's what the lower official said. The king of Yunnan may startle the snake when he enters the palace at this time! After thinking about it, the king of Yunnan understands the current situation. He has thought of a way, and it is also the condition for the king of Yunnan to support His Highness!"

Xiao Lie glanced over coldly, "What?"

Yao Bin hesitated for a moment, and said, "The King of Yunnan wants His Highness to marry Princess Yulong as his concubine!"

"what?"

Xiao Lie stood up suddenly.

"Your Highness, this move will make King Zhao more fearful, and will not be detrimental to the Emperor for the time being; secondly, the Yunnan Palace will support His Highness even more whole-heartedly, and I think this move is feasible! Moreover, Princess Yulong is dignified and generous, with both talent and appearance. , is a perfect match for Your Highness!"

"Impossible! This king will not marry Princess Yulong. Without King Yunnan, this king would have rescued my father!" Xiao Lie resolutely said.

"But if you marry Princess Yulong, things will go smoothly. Why don't you do it? If the King of Yunnan takes refuge with King Zhao, the situation will be even more critical." Yao Ting persuaded, "If the situation in the palace is unclear for a day, the emperor will be more concerned. Dangerous, Your Highness, please think twice!"

"Needless to say! It is absolutely impossible for this king to marry Princess Yulong! This king is tired, Master Yao, please go back!"

"Your Highness,"

"see a visitor out!"

Seeing Xiao Lie's resolute attitude, Yao Ting had no choice but to give up, bowed and said, "Yes, I will resign!"

Sitting on a chair, Xiao Lie rested his forehead on his arms, looking out the window at the hazy haze and the fading light, and suddenly missed Su Jiu abnormally.

Standing up suddenly, Xiao Lie strode out.

When I entered Su Jiu's courtyard, the last rays of the setting sun had already set, and the dusk was heavy, with only a gleam of light that refused to be engulfed by the darkness.

Su Jiu was sitting at the stone table making flower juice, her waist-length black hair was loosely tied behind her, she was wearing a simple plain dress, her face was fair, and her facial features were exquisite. The girl grew up day by day, becoming more and more beautiful!

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Su Jiu turned around and smiled, "Why are you here at this time?"

Xiao Lie sat down beside her and asked, "What are you doing?"

Su Jiu took the jar and showed it to him, and said with a smile, "The nanny wanted to make me gardenia osmanthus glutinous rice balls. She pounded them all afternoon, but I broke them. I'm making up for my mistakes now!"

With a gentle smile on Xiao Lie's handsome face, he raised his hand to caress the top of Su Jiu's hair, "If you want to eat, let the servants do it, why do it yourself?"

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, "It's okay, this won't tire anyone!"

The sky was getting darker, and the faces of the people sitting across from each other began to blur. The servants came out to hold the lamps, and the lanterns under the corridor lit up one by one, winding along the corridor.

Under the shadow of the lamp, Xiao Lie's eyes were deep and thick, and he looked at Su Jiu without blinking.

"What's the matter, why do you look at me like this?" Su Jiu smiled.

"Ah Jiu, will you leave me?" Xiao Lie asked suddenly.

Su Jiu raised her head, "Why do you ask this?"

"Ah Jiu, apart from you, nothing will scare me!" Xiao Lie gently stroked the broken hair on her forehead, and said with a smile, "As long as I'm with you, nothing matters! "

"Xiao Lie, do you want to be emperor?" Su Jiu asked.

"I used to think about it, but now," Xiao Lie paused, and suddenly remembered what his mother and concubine said, a prince is not qualified to say the words of giving up the throne.

"Don't you think about it now?" Su Jiu asked with a smile.

"Sometimes it doesn't matter if I want to or not, I can do it or not!" Xiao Lie said lightly.

"Xiao Lie, don't let me influence your decision. Just do what you should do. No matter what, I will definitely support you. All the people in the Fulong Gang will support you!" Su Jiu smiled sincerely and purely.

Xiao Lie's eyes were warm, and he stretched out his arms to hold Su Jiu in his arms, "Ah Jiu, knowing you is the greatest blessing in my life! You are destined to belong to me!"

"Why?" Su Jiu asked casually as she twirled the stone pestle around her finger.

"Do you still remember the jade pendant you stole from me when we met for the first time? It was originally a coming-of-age gift from my concubine. If I fell in love with a girl, I would give it to her as a token of engagement. You stole this token Now, do you think this is a fate destined by the heavens?" Xiao Lie smiled softly with soft eyebrows.

Su Jiu suddenly realized, "So this jade pendant has such a deep meaning!"

"Where is the jade pendant, do you have it with you?" Xiao Lie asked.

"Yeah!" Su Jiu took out the jade pendant from her bosom, "I know this jade pendant is precious, so I always wear it on my body, thinking that if I run out of money one day, I will pawn it!"

"If you dare, whether you like it or not, I will marry you back to the mansion immediately!" Xiao Lie laughed, and put the jade on Su Jiu's neck, "Ah Jiu, you are mine!"

Su Jiu put the jade pendant into her clothes, raised her head and smiled slightly when she heard what he said.
