"Since ancient times, there have been rises and falls, prosperity and decline. Your Majesty should withdraw early and do not hesitate, otherwise..."
Zhong Hanfeng flicked his sleeves and said, "If we delay, something unexpected will happen!"
His implicit warning was very clear: the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess have not used force against you until now is to give you dignity.
You'd better not be ungrateful, otherwise you will end up like that dragon.
Zhao Xian naturally understood the implicit threat in Zhong Hanfeng's words. He shook his body involuntarily and his face turned pale.
The Imperial Guards were gone, the Imperial Prince was gone, and His Majesty Emperor Yuan was also killed...
What other choices do I have?
The throne of the emperor, the king of a fallen nation, a curse that will last forever...
Thoughts echoed in Zhao Xian's mind, making him feel dizzy. Wei Jin quickly supported him: "Your Majesty..."
Zhao Xian was in a trance for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I, I... the matter of abdication is of great importance. I will go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and ask the ancestors before making a decision."
After saying that, he tremblingly tried to come down the steps directly in front of him.
Zhong Hanfeng narrowed his eyes and was about to speak to stop him, but the princess waved her hand and said, "Let him go."
Pfft!
The Grand Mage Emperor Xuan'an lost his balance and fell down the stairs, with his crown even knocked askew.
But he got up as if he didn't know it, swayed left and right, and walked out of the Huangji Palace with a dazed look in his eyes.
Zhong Hanfeng glanced at Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he seemed to understand something in his heart. Did Her Royal Highness the Princess arrange for executioners in Tai'an Palace? Or was there a three-foot white silk and poisoned wine waiting for Emperor Xuan'an?
"Open the gates, let the garrison attack and annihilate the remaining guards, and clean up the outside."
After giving the order, Su Yuxi stood up and walked quickly down, pulling Su Yuchen to the corner behind the hall, looking at his brother with a smile.
"Brother, when did you decide on the Crown Prince's Consort without telling me, huh?"
As she spoke, she raised her right hand and grasped the collar of Su Yuchen's python robe: "Why didn't you tell me? I'm very sad~"
Her smile was a little twisted.
……
Chapter 659 Brother, I will teach you how to act cool next time~
Su Yuxi certainly understood what being the Crown Prince's Consort of Chang'an meant, but she didn't care before today.
Because Sister Yu Shuang and the others are both the Crown Prince’s consorts, but they also have the option of not being one.
Because Sister Yu Shuang and the others all care but at the same time don’t care.
Moreover, she believed that in her brother's mind, he must treat Sister Yu Shuang and the others equally, so no one had ever tried to snatch the title of "Crown Prince's Consort".
Because that doesn't make sense.
But today, Mu Lingyan, who she was not very familiar with, jumped out and took on the identity of "Crown Prince's Consort" in front of a group of high-ranking officials of the empire, which made Su Yuxi very angry.
It seemed that she and Sister Yu Shuang were "cooperating" here, seeing that Di Yuan was killed and Zhao Xian was about to abdicate, but suddenly a woman appeared and snatched away the "fruits of victory"!
How can you not be angry?
If it happens in private, it's fine, but admitting it in this kind of occasion gives it a sense of legitimacy and formality of "official certification."
Well...it's just like when you are born you have a household registration, when you grow up you have an ID card, and when you reach adulthood you get a 'marriage certificate'!
Even though I know that I can't be the 'official confirmation' of my brother, who wouldn't be tempted by that red book?
So Su Yuxi was so annoyed at that moment that he wanted to replace the entire cabinet!
But she held back. After all, those people were capable officials who had been cultivated over many years. If she replaced them, she would have to work hard to train them again, which would delay her time playing with her brother.
So she held back, but was still angry - being 'ambushed' by someone who was not as familiar to her as Sister Yu Shuang and the others.
Now no one knew where Mu Lingyan had gone. She took advantage of Zhao Xian's absence from the Taimiao to come to her brother to seek "comfort".
Su Yuchen could feel that his sister's anger was directed at Mu Lingyan because he didn't feel a headache.
Looking at Yu Xi's somewhat gloomy smile, Su Yuchen smiled: "It's nothing, right? Sister Yu Shuang and the others didn't say anything."
"What about the coronation ceremony and other ceremonies? Are you going to bring that woman with you?"
Su Yuxi stared at Su Yuchen. She had been looking forward to those occasions where only she and her brother were present, without Sister Yu Shuang and the others.
"You are the protagonist. It doesn't matter whether they and I attend or not, right?" Su Yuchen pinched his sister's cheek: "And these things are not as important as answering your 'question'."
Hearing him mention this, Su Yuxi narrowed her eyes: "Today is New Year's Eve, brother, have you thought about how to answer me?"
"Isn't today over yet?" Su Yuchen looked away.
"Brother, do you think I'll be very busy these two days, so you plan to postpone it for as long as possible?"
"When have I failed to do what I promised you?" Su Yuchen asked back.
"Hmph~" Su Yuxi snorted: "That's more like it... not right!"
"We are talking about Mu Lingyan now!" Su Yuxi widened her eyes and looked at Su Yuchen angrily: "Don't change the subject!"
"Stinky sister." Su Yuchen subconsciously wanted to touch her head, but seeing that her hairstyle was dignified and elegant today, he withdrew his hand: "You don't need to worry about the affairs of the Crown Prince's Consort."
"I am the emperor!"
"Not yet." Su Yuchen changed the subject again: "Do you want Zhao Xian to commit suicide?"
"No." Su Yuxi continued to stare at her brother: "How dare he commit suicide?"
"I just want to discuss the matter of 'Crown Prince's Consort' with my brother!"
"Are you not afraid that he will run away?"
"Does he have that ability?" Su Yuxi said, and after touching his chest with her forehead unhappily, she didn't continue to dwell on the matter of 'Crown Prince's Consort'.
Because my brother doesn't want to talk, and because I can get his answer today, I can't push him too hard.
"Brother, although I already have a way to deal with him, I still want to hear your opinion." Su Yuxi raised his face again, and his expression returned to his previous relaxed and cheerful look.
"Just as you thought." Su Yuchen stroked her face, his eyes darkening slightly: "I will create the opportunity."
"Hmm~"
Su Yuxi chuckled and suddenly asked, "Brother, you should have let Di Yuan show off just now, and then some people in the cabinet would start to betray and stand on Di Yuan's side, and then brother, you would show off again, and you would see a more interesting scene~"
Listening to Yu Xi's "royal plot", Su Yuchen smiled helplessly: "How boring is that? Not only does it waste time, but it also annoys people."
"To show off, isn't it just twist, twist, and twist again?"
"You know how to pretend." Su Yuchen smiled.
"Yes, I understand it very well~" Su Yuxi said meaningfully.
Su Yuchen pretended not to understand her meaning and said, "That's meaningless. Besides, human nature should not be tested easily. It's fine like this now."
"Okay, next time I'll teach you how to act cool!"
"Ha ha……"
……
Tai'an Palace.
Emperor Xuan'an Zhao Xian stumbled over the threshold and knelt down in front of the shrine of the ancestors of the Zhao family of the Xuanqing Empire.
Looking at the tablets of the eleven previous emperors of Xuanqing, he could not help but burst into tears.
"Ancestors, did you see it?"
"The traitors are trying to seize our ancestors' kingdom!"
"It's all because of my incompetence. I have brought shame to our ancestors..."
"I am ashamed of my ancestors. Living is worse than death."
Zhao Xian cried and kowtowed three times: "Ancestors, please help me in heaven..."
The spirit tablet placed on the table naturally would not give Zhao Xian any response. Zhao Xian could not help but raise his head and stare at the spirit tablet with a dull look... His gaze paused on the spirit tablet of Taizu.
Sadness in my heart.
I have sacrificed His Majesty Taizu to His Majesty Diyuan, who else would help me?
Behind him, light footsteps were slowly approaching, and Su Jingyun walked in with a slightly pale face. He stopped behind Zhao Xian and watched him fall to the ground and cry. How could Zhao Xian now look like the emperor?
Su Jingyun spoke softly with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..."
Hearing Su Jingyun's voice, Zhao Xian stopped crying, turned his head sharply and stared at Su Jingyun: "Get out! Get out! Get out of here! You are not allowed to come in!"
"The ancestors don't want to see anyone from your Su family!"
Su Jingyun lowered her head slightly, her face pale as she bit her lower lip and continued to walk towards Zhao Xian: "Your Majesty, although my surname is Su, I am from the Zhao family. It was you, Your Majesty, who made me the queen..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked to Zhao Xian's side and was about to kneel down with him, but before her knees touched the ground, Zhao Xian pushed her to the ground with force: "Get out of here!"
Su Jingyun fell to the ground without checking, and his forehead hit the cylinder, leaving a purple swelling.
Zhao Xian's lips moved, and he looked at Su Jingyun's pale face. He clasped his hands together and then quickly went over to help her up: "I'm sorry, I...Jingyun, are you okay?"
He really has feelings for Su Jingyun, and more importantly, Su Jingyun is his amulet now!
Su Jingyun pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, you called me 'Jingyun'?"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I'm panicking now. I... I really don't know what to do."
"It's all my brother and niece's fault. We made His Majesty angry... I'm fine." Su Jingyun held Zhao Xian's hands: "If Your Majesty can beat me and make you feel better, I am willing to let Your Majesty beat me every day..."
Zhao Xian looked at Su Jingyun's gentle eyes, and his heart trembled. This woman loves him. This woman still loves him...
Thinking of this, Zhao Xian was about to speak when he heard the sound of neat and steady footsteps outside Tai'an Palace. Looking up, he saw soldiers from the Chang'an Ninth Corps, wearing black standard military uniforms, taking over the imperial city with a murderous look on their faces. Among them, several figures wearing golden armor of the Imperial Guard were walking quickly towards Tai'an Palace. They soon walked in and stared at Emperor Xuan'an expressionlessly.
Zhao Xian's face turned pale and he shrank back involuntarily. The hand that was holding Su Jingyun's wrist was trembling with fear.
"Your Majesty, are you hitting the Queen?" The leading young general looked at Zhao Xian coldly.
"I..." Zhao Xian gritted his teeth and said, "It's my family affairs, you have no right to interfere!"
"The Queen is the Prince's sister and the Princess' aunt. It's not your turn..."
"Su Huanxue, what are you doing here?" Su Jingyun stood up, standing in front of Zhao Xianshen with cold eyes, staring at his third brother's son.
Su Huanxue hurriedly said respectfully: "Aunt, I came to see if he treated you well..."
"What to me?" Su Jingyun snorted coldly: "I am not only the queen, but also your majesty's subject. It is only natural for your majesty to kill me..."
"Aunt, in today's society, His Majesty doesn't have..."
"And you!" Su Jingyun interrupted Su Huanxue's voice: "You are not only a descendant of the Su family, but also a subject of His Majesty. If you help the tyrant, it is only natural to kill you!"
"Jingyun..." Zhao Xian couldn't help but hold Su Jingyun's hand tightly.
"Really?" Su Huanxue put away the smile on his face, took out his service pistol with a calm expression, and looked at Zhao Xian: "The gun is here. If the emperor wants to kill me, please do as you please!"
"Su Huanxue, how dare you be so presumptuous?!" Su Jingyun shouted, showing his majesty.
"Aunt!" Su Huanxue looked at Su Jingyun expressionlessly. "Although you and I share the same bloodline of the Su family, I dare not disobey the princess today, and I dare not disobey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now."
"Your Majesty, if you have already met the ancestors of the Zhao family, please get going."
Su Huanxue looked at Zhao Xian meaningfully: "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess get tired of waiting..."
Zhao Xian's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but think of Di Yuan's end.
"All the civil and military officials are waiting in the Huangji Palace. Please don't waste time."
"You helped Su Yuxi to commit treason, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Su Jingyun scolded.
Su Huanxue ignored Su Jingyun and said, "Your Majesty, please stand up quickly. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Zhao Xian took a deep breath and was about to take a step forward, but Su Jingyun quickly grabbed him and said, "You are the emperor, ignore them!"
"Emperor?" Zhao Xian gave a bitter smile. "He was forced by the scoundrels to be the king of a fallen country."
After saying that, he broke away from Su Jingyun's hand and walked out.
Su Huanxue and two other generals who had already disguised themselves as imperial guards and entered the palace followed Zhao Xian with expressionless faces, urging him to move towards the Huangji Palace step by step.
Coming to the Huangji Palace again, looking at this magnificent palace, Zhao Xian closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and walked up step by step onto the white jade steps that had been cleaned cleanly without any trace of blood or flesh of the imperial prince.
