Xiao Mubai and Xia Chu always thought that the emperor was partial to them and protected them in every way.
In fact, it was just because what they did was exactly in line with the emperor's original wishes.
Except for the mausoleum gate, the emperor had already figured out the remaining details of Concubine Li, and slowly infiltrated people into her influence, but he knew nothing about the Mandarin Duck Stone.
Until he was stabbed by Lan Yuying, Li Fei thought he was seriously injured and fell into coma, and revealed the truth about Yuanyang Stone.
It turns out that this is the only mandarin duck stone in the world. The emperor hoped that it could change Xiao Mubai's body. The emperor personally fed half a stone to Xiao Mubai, and Xiao Mubai personally gave him half a stone.
"It's just one blow to kill her. You really took advantage of her."
The emperor's face was full of vicious anger, which was the result of accumulated resentment that could not be vented.
Xiao Mubai lowered his eyes silently, and his peripheral vision and Xia Chu secretly intertwined. It seemed that the emperor was lying in the Qingxin Palace during the day, but in fact he knew everything about the closure of the dock.
The hatred in their hearts for Concubine Li was no less than the emperor's resentment.
Xia Chu, who was harmed by Li Fei, once thought that there was a blood feud between himself and Lan Yuying, which made Xiao Mubai think that his biological father had poisoned him, and then instigated Zhong Guo, who had watched him grow up since childhood, to personally poison the emperor. poison.
This kind of mental torture caused Xiao Mubai and Xia Chu to collapse one after another. He didn't want to kill her with a thousand knives.
The emperor got up and sat down, and walked slowly to the window. The window of Qingxin Palace faced the Western Mountain.
Back then, he had thought that Yue Xinli had poisoned him through Xiao Mubai's hands, and he had resented her for a long, long time...
He worked so hard for her and even let Miao Lin go privately, but she actually avenged the rest of the Miao family who died tragically.
But even so, the emperor still took pity on her as the king of a country and did not want to bury her hastily. He secretly asked people from the Ministry of Industry to go to Xishan in batches and secretly built an imperial mausoleum for her.
He even wanted to be buried with her after his death. When he met her in this life, she would be married and willing to marry others.
In the next life, can you allow him a lifetime
After Li Fei confided to him the whole story of the Mandarin Duck Stone, if he hadn't been too weak, he almost couldn't hold himself back and wanted to struggle up and kill Li Fei first.
Because of this, he thought that the poison in Xiao Mubai's body could never be cured. Later, he wrote Xiao Zimu's name in the edict after Xia Chu's persuasion.
Who would have thought that the night Xiao Mubai came to Kunning Palace to see him, Xiao Mubai's hands would be warm.
This sense made the emperor's breathing disorder for a moment, and Xiao Mubai almost found him awake.
After Xiao Mubai left, he confirmed the date with Yinwei several times and confirmed that it was at the end of the month. While he was happy, he also felt strongly dissatisfied with Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai for hiding him.
"Since you have recovered, you should shoulder the expectations of the two countries. If you don't want General Zhao to call you, I will personally issue the order." The emperor turned around from the window, pointed at Xia Chu and said, "Don't you like her? Really? I can ignore the crime of deceiving the king and canonize her as the crown princess."
"Isn't seventh brother good? Now that hundreds of officials support him and all the people love him, why do my father insist on passing the throne to his son? Please forgive me for not accepting the order." Xiao Mubai stood up from his seat and knelt down to apologize.
The emperor saw that he was receiving favor as if he was suffering, and sneered: "I have given you all my beauty, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
Although Xiao Mubai was kneeling, his back was still straight. He raised his head and looked at the emperor: "I think the seventh brother is more suitable to be the king of the world. I hope my father will be satisfied."
The emperor was so angry that he smiled back: "Okay, then let's give Zi Mu the title of crown princess as the legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion."
Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai called out at the same time: "Your Majesty, Father..."
The emperor looked at Xiao Mubai's excited look and calmed down in his heart: "Think about it for yourself, either you can have both the country and the beauty, or you can't get any of the country and the beauty. Comparing these two, I don't need to teach you. How to choose?"
Xia Chu also knelt down: "Your Majesty, my mother's last wish is not for me to enter this deep palace."
The emperor's eyes grew colder and his tone was firm: "Don't use Lan Sheng as an excuse. She started to deceive you from the moment she gave birth to you. I don't even think about how many things you did after you came down from the mountain that deserved your loss. Let bygones be bygones. The legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion must enter the East Palace and be named the Crown Princess. As for who the Crown Prince is, why don't you choose carefully."
Xiao Mubai frowned: "Anyway, I won't be the crown prince, and I won't let Ah Chu be the crown prince."
The emperor's face was full of anger, and he sneered: "Don't just rely on your meritorious service to negotiate terms with me. The emperor's words were established fifteen years ago. The legitimate daughter of the Hou Mansion must be the crown prince."
Xia Chu held Xiao Mubai's hand to restrain him from speaking, and then softened his tone to the emperor, with a hint of coquettishness.
"Your Majesty... You see, this happened suddenly, and we were not prepared. I just guessed that you might be pretending to be asleep, but I didn't expect it to be true. Today, I suddenly learned so much Hidden things are difficult to digest at the moment, why don’t we let us go back and think about it?”
The emperor looked at Xia Chu's flattering smile and Xiao Mubai's stubborn and unyielding face with his head turned away. He felt annoyed and waved his hand, telling them to get out of here.
Xia Chu pulled Xiao Mubai up and left. When the two of them pushed open the door of Qingxin Palace, Eunuch Li had obviously been waiting for too long. Hearing the door open, he immediately came forward with a smile on his face.
He saw Xiao Mubai's livid face, and the smile on his face froze. He hurriedly asked: "Why... Why have you stayed so long? What's wrong with His Highness King Mo? Is the Emperor okay?"
Xia Chu patted Eunuch Li twice on the shoulder: "Your Majesty is fine. Everyone is awake. Come in and wait for him."
Eunuch Li's face became stiffer and stiffer, and he was stunned for a long time before he realized: "Oh, is it true? That is a great happy event. The young marquis is indeed a master of medical skills. The hospital envoy watched these hours in succession. There is no improvement in the day, you..."
Xia Chu pulled the hand on his shoulder forward and whispered in his ear: "Don't pretend like this to me. Don't you know when the emperor will wake up?"
Eunuch Li swallowed his saliva and his eyes wandered: "I don't understand what the young marquis said. Now that the emperor is awake, I will go in and serve you."
After he finished speaking, he ducked slightly and ran into Qingxin Palace from under Xia Chu's hand.
Just as Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai were about to turn around and leave, Xiao Yuanzi timidly called out from behind: "Little Marquis."
Xia Chu turned around and saw him, and smiled sincerely.
Xiaoyuanzi lowered her voice and asked: "Miss Xiaoyun, how are you?"
Xia Chu was stunned and then realized what he was doing. While following Xiao Mubai's footsteps outside the palace, he said to him: "Okay, she even asked you for a reward. Someone will send you to the prison yard later."
