The reborn king is ferocious

Chapter 168 Willing to be a Puppet

Recognizing the father is false, but this sadness is true.

She thought everything would be fine once she entered the palace, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult to get the king's approval. Luo Xiuyuan also praised her for her ability before, but she turned ruthless in a blink of an eye, and she didn't even know how she offended Luo Xiuyuan.

Could it be that this indicates that the future will be difficult?

If she knew how, why would she take the risk of beheading?

Luo Qingchen looked at Luo Xiuyuan quietly, seeing him lower his head, lift Xu You'er's jaw, and look carefully.

Could it be that Luo Xiuyuan was moved by Xu You'er's tears and wanted to admit his relatives?
Concubine Jia also seemed to be quite concerned at this time, following Luo Xiuyuan's side, step by step.

Fu Lingtian's hand hidden in the sleeve of his robe gently grasped Luo Qingchen's slender hand. She instinctively wanted to shrink back, but he tightened his grip and held it firmly.

Xu You'er's jade-like little face was filled with tears, she was so miserable, but her heart was pounding with nervousness.

Luo Xiuyuan finally let go of her, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "This king has always wondered why you don't look like other princesses?"

Is this questioning her identity?
Xu You'er looked blank and said: "You'er doesn't know either, but it is said that people who have met my mother say that I gave birth to an elephant mother."

Does Luo Xiuyuan still remember what that woman looked like back then?Even if Mrs. Zhang stood in front of him, she couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't recognize such a big change in these years.

Luo Xiuyuan was just testing Xu You'er.

Luo Xiuyuan said again: "I heard that the Xu family raised you up, and also married you with the grandson of the old prime minister's family, what is his name... an engagement?"

Concubine Jia said softly: "Fang Xing, Mr. Fang, he has a sixth-rank job in the palace, and he is in charge of warehouse No. [-]."

Luo Xiuyuan made it clear, and said: "Before my king ascended the throne, there was indeed a past event that coincided with what you said. Since you have already been betrothed to someone and you have reached the age of marriage, why don't you marry me?" How do you feel about marrying Fang Xing with the ceremony of a princess, and live a good life in the future?"

How could this be the result Xu You'er wanted?
She took two steps on her knees, hugged Luo Xiuyuan's leg, and said sadly: "No, please don't drive me out of the palace to marry Mr. Fang."

Luo Qingchen and Fu Lingtian looked at each other, Xu Youer's reaction was within their expectations, but Luo Xiuyuan and Jiafei seemed very surprised.

"Miss Xu, what happened more than ten years ago, and personnel changes, it is not easy to find out your life experience. It is also a great grace for the king to let you marry from the palace with the gift of a princess. Why are you so sad? Your grandfather is a former prime minister, and your father has a teacher-student friendship, and your two families are well-matched, so it could not be better, why are you so reluctant?"

Concubine Jia asked Luo Xiuyuan's doubts.

Xu Youer thought to herself, how do you know my purpose and long-cherished wish?Either don't do it, do it, how can this richness and glory change her original intention?
"You'er is bold. I don't dislike Mr. Fang, nor am I dissatisfied with the king's arrangement. It's just that since the day the Heavenly Master determined that You'er is the true daughter of Destiny and learned the truth about her life, You'er has been wanting her biological father to see her." How happy I would be. You'er doesn't care about other things, she just wants to be happy in front of her father, fulfill her daughter's filial piety, and make up for the lack of family affection these years."

"You'er knows that the king has a lot of doubts in his heart. I have seen a lot in the palace these days and heard a lot. I feel that some of my thoughts are too naive and naive. What I thought was a simple good thing may have ulterior motives in the eyes of others. Dangerous. So now You'er doesn't ask for anything else, as long as she can see the king's peace every day, it's enough. Even if she's just a little servant in the palace, her wish will be fulfilled."

What Xu You'er said was very emotional, but Luo Xiuyuan seemed to be listening to someone else's story, his expression was cold and cold.

Fu Lingtian thought to himself, this expression was exactly the same as Luo Qingchen's.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Luo Qingchen, but she felt his gaze, raised her head, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Fu Lingtian understood Luo Qingchen's helpless expression. It turned out that she had already guessed Luo Xiuyuan's indifference to the matter of her daughter's confession. She didn't want to admit that it was all forced by the current situation, and she also had her heartache.

Fu Lingtian gently squeezed Luo Qingchen's hand with pity, and she shook her head lightly, expressing that she had already seen through it and didn't care.

But she felt the warmth from Fu Lingtian's palm, and she tightened slightly, grabbing his big hand.

Luo Xiuyuan suddenly laughed: "My concubine, look, it turns out that this king has such a filial and good daughter, who is more caring and filial than any other child in this palace. Do you think this king should continue to investigate, or Recognized her directly?"

There was an incomprehensible meaning in Luo Xiuyuan's words.

And pointing out that Concubine Jia should give her an idea is not only an honor for her incomparable trust, but also throwing a big problem in front of her.

Empress Xiao couldn't make a decision, and she was thinking again and again. If the Destiny's True Girl was a man, she would have been wiped out by now inexplicably, right?
Because this kind of fate has the appearance of an emperor, how could Empress Xiao allow the crown prince's status to be lost?
Fortunately, Xu You'er was born as a daughter, and Xu Hongwen was actively approaching the Xiao family, so Empress Xiao was merciful.

Even Empress Xiao is so scheming that it is difficult to make a decision for a while, and Concubine Jia is even more afraid that a careless move will cause endless troubles.

If she wants to say she admits it, wouldn't it be a suspicion of being too big?Maybe Empress Xiao's group will mobilize and besiege her.

These days the acting palm Fengyin is very prestigious, but the Xiao family has never stopped questioning.

If she said she didn't admit it, wouldn't Xu You'er and the Xu family have to bear a grudge against her and set up a new strong enemy for themselves?
Difficult, really difficult!

"Why, what is Concubine Ai worried about?" Luo Xiuyuan saw Concubine Jia's embarrassment.

Luo Xiuyuan's eyes hinted at something.

Concubine Jia understood that Empress Xiao was supposed to decide the matter of the harem, and it was not difficult to recognize the princess, but it was not difficult for Empress Xiao to deny it, and it was not good for Luo Xiuyuan to go to war with Empress Xiao because it seemed a trivial matter.

But Luo Xiuyuan wanted to recognize the Destiny's Child who brought good luck to Tianqiong, but this was only one of the reasons.

More importantly, Luo Xiuyuan didn't want Empress Xiao to cover up the sky with one hand and be so arrogant.

But Grand Master Xiao now has a lot of troops in his hands, and he is still on the front line in Xichuan, so he always wants to give the Xiao family face.

Then someone has to stand up and do this thing, and be a living target for Luo Xiuyuan, so that he can succeed without offending the Xiao family.

And this person is undoubtedly the most suitable concubine Jia.

Concubine Jia's thoughts turned rapidly.

Didn't Empress Xiao want to win over Xu Hongwen?She can too.

Empress Xiao didn't want to recognize You'er, Concubine Jia did the opposite, not only sharing the king's worries, but also showing her own status and dignity.

And if Xu You'er is smart, to curry favor with Concubine Jia, wouldn't she have more strength in the palace?
Anyway, the agreement between her and Luo Qingchen was a secret, and Xu You'er didn't know about it.

And it was Deng Yunzi who got Xu You'er into the palace... Quickly weighing the pros and cons, Concubine Jia made up her mind.

To survive and live well in this palace, there are always trade-offs.

"The concubine dare not say it." Concubine Jia seemed to have an idea, but hesitated.

Luo Xiuyuan knew that it was just because he was afraid of embarrassment from Xiao Hou's group.

He just wanted to take advantage of Concubine Jia, so Luo Xiuyuan's face darkened: "Concubine Ai can say whatever she thinks, this king is here, who would dare not obey?"

Concubine Jia was waiting for this, and said with a smile: "Actually, the queen is such a capable and shrewd person. After searching for so long, I didn't find any loopholes. I think there is nothing wrong with it. It's just about the blood of the royal family. Of course, the queen Be cautious, so there is no conclusion for a long time. The prime minister knows Yu'er's background best, he is loyal to the king, and he is a stable person, so he can't go wrong."

Speaking of which, Concubine Jia affectionately supported Xu You'er and said: "Your Majesty, You'er is so beautiful, and the heroic aura between her brows is the most like that of the King. She dared to stop him before, and today she dared to speak out in front of the King. The concubine thought that this was the same as the king's bravery when he led troops to fight, how could it not be the king's flesh and blood?"

Why did Fu Lingtian feel that the more Concubine Jia talked about her nose and eyes, the more funny he found it, and he pinched himself fiercely with his nails before he finally pulled himself together and maintained a serious face.

But Luo Qingchen was neither sad nor happy, and his pale expression never changed.

Luo Xiuyuan was really happy, and praised: "Aifei is really smart, so this matter can't be wrong?"

Concubine Jia nodded: "The concubine can't be wrong. How can anyone recognize his father casually, and even if You'er is young and ignorant, isn't the Prime Minister afraid of the crime of deceiving the emperor and destroying the nine clans?"

They sang together, but Fu Lingyu was the only one present who didn't understand.

From being full of confidence to convict Luo Qingchen and Fu Lingtian, to the inexplicable interrogation, no conviction at all, to Concubine Jia didn't know whether she was confused or trying to cover up, seeing that this matter was about to drag on.

Luo Xiuyuan often does things on a whim, but Fu Lingyu thinks that if the assassin is caught, no emperor will be able to forgive him lightly.But Luo Xiuyuan handed over this seemingly head-losing incident to Concubine Jia, making it more like a farce.

Fu Lingyu's whistleblower offended not only Fu Lingtian and Luo Qingchen, but the most frightening thing was that in his father's eyes, he was no longer that caring and likable young son.

If Fu Lingtian could not be killed this time, what awaited Fu Lingyu would be dire consequences.

Originally, Fu Lingyu had no idea, but now Luo Xiuyuan and Concubine Jia suddenly brought the topic to Xu Youer, and they didn't intend to go back. What does this mean?
Fu Lingyu was not reconciled, so he asked: "Your Majesty, the case of the assassin..."

The king personally heard the trial, and he could be convicted immediately with just one sentence. What a great opportunity this is?

"What assassin? Your eldest brother's case is still pending, why are you in a hurry?" Luo Xiuyuan was a little unhappy, but Fu Lingyu interrupted his interest.

Fu Lingyu saw Fu Lingtian's contemptuous gaze like a thorn in his back, but he didn't dare to ask any more, and his heart was mostly cold.

Fu Lingyu could only blame himself for his bad luck. What kind of evil did Luo Xiuyuan fall into today? Concubine Jia was in charge of everything, and he even started to investigate Xu Youer's affairs on the way.

If he had known earlier, he would have been patient for a while, what should he do now?
