—The old guard has struck!
When Xue Xiaohan drove her car and was stuck on the road for more than four hours, Tang Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the back seat, became completely irritable. She just wanted to take a look through the car window, but was stopped by Fan Sen, who was sitting next to her. He silently shook his head at her, "Don't stick your head out of the car window, it's very dangerous."
Tang Xiaoxiao let out a depressed breath, "I'm not allowed to do this, and I'm not allowed to do that, it's so annoying."
"There is no way. This is an extraordinary period. China is currently in turmoil. Many wealthy leaders or officials are assassinated every day... Your position is too prestigious and you will be in danger." Fansen's eyes flickered. Determined and serious, "They will definitely attack you. Take a good rest these days and don't go out if you have nothing to do."
"Isn't that right?" Tang Xiaoxiao smiled and took Fansen's arm, "Aren't you by my side?"
Fansen took her into his arms, gently stroked her long and silky hair, and sighed, "My code name is Death, but it is not a patron saint... The person I target will definitely die, but the person I protect will not." I will definitely be able to protect her completely. You are my woman, Fansen, and I don’t want you to be harmed at all."
Tang Xiaoxiao fell silent and gently leaned her head on Fansen's chest, suddenly feeling very relieved.
You shouldn’t regret choosing this man, right
"Okay, don't think too much, Xiaohan, let Jialan go down with you to see what's going on. Why is there a sudden traffic jam for so long today? Even if there was a traffic jam before, it has never been like this." Fansen ordered carefully. .
Xue Xiaohan responded, followed Jialan out for a while, and then hurried back, "It's a demonstration. I don't know what force incited many people to come out for demonstrations. The armed police officers, policemen and traffic police are enforcing martial law. The people in front are The road is completely blocked, and we don’t know when it will be cleared.”
"Another demonstration?" Tang Xiaoxiao frowned, stroking the jade concubine bracelet on her wrist, with an obvious restlessness in her expression, "It hasn't stopped since September. It's not that high-ranking officials have been dismissed. Either he died or the economy collapsed... The struggle above caused chaos below.
. "
Fansen responded thoughtfully, "After a while, when support arrives, we will get off the car and walk to have a look. Jialan told them to pay attention to the surroundings."
Three minutes later, the watch on Jialan's hand suddenly whined. She pressed it and then raised her head, "Your Highness, the people are already in place. You can go down and take a look."
Fansen held Tang Xiaoxiao's hand and quietly stepped out of the car. Not far away, there seemed to be a vague figure appearing, and it turned out to be the security personnel called by Jialan.
Before I reached the street in front of me, when I was quite far away, I heard the shouts, screams, pain and curses in front of me. I even heard the cries of children, which seemed to pierce people's hearts. Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but speed up her pace.
The front was dark, with riot police armed with water cannons and electric batons on one side, and unarmed and furious civilians on the other. The two sides, who were supposed to be living in peace, fell into hysteria at this time, and the angry crowd lost their minds. The former rationality, even among so many people, can still see the figure of the child!
She didn't know how angry those ordinary people were before they vented their anger so desperately, at any cost!
The angry two parties did not hesitate to fight with fists and kicks. The angry strong will not hesitate to attack the weak with explosion-proof shields, electric batons, and water guns in their hands; the angry weak can only vent the pain and depression in their hearts with heart-rending wails and biting with hatred. !
Blood and tears intertwined into a nightmare;
Wails and curses converged into a tragedy!
Seeing a crying little girl of five or six being trampled into a cold corpse by the angry crowd, Tang Xiaoxiao's nails... gently dug into her palms.
"Relax, stupid woman, this is not your responsibility." Fansen's soft voice sounded next to him.
"I know, this is not my responsibility..." Tang Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and pointed at the crowd angrily, "But don't you think they have gone too far? Political struggles and factional struggles are fine! But everything is established On the basis of China's stability and prosperity, look at it! This is what they have done!"
"Calm down, I know your anger..." Fansen gently stroked Tang Xiaoxiao's head, trying to calm her down.
"This is my motherland
! These are my roots! I, Tang Xiaoxiao, am not the Virgin Mary, but I know from beginning to end that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. The higher the position, the heavier the responsibility on the shoulders! I don't expect them to put aside their prejudices and make peace with each other, nor are they stupid enough to be the peacemaker. But when they fight, why can't there be a bottom line? "
"Look at what they have done. The stock market crashed, factories closed down, officials were dismissed, and the men, women, and children of wealthy families turned into corpses! Don't they know that every time a wealthy family falls, another force needs to take over? Otherwise, it will cause the collapse of a certain field... Dozens of families will fall at once, are they going to paralyze China?!"
"That's enough! Xiaoxiao, you're under too much pressure. You don't need them to settle the score with you, and you've already collapsed!" Fansen rubbed his brows helplessly, and gently put his hand on her neck, finding the right position. Just one click.
Tang Xiaoxiao fainted.
Xue Xiaohan behind him looked helpless and glanced at Fansen.
"This stupid woman, she takes the responsibilities on her shoulders too seriously, and she is a little too anxious." Fansen shrugged his shoulders, with a distressed look on his face, "This time, they played too big, this stupid woman … Really serious about it.”
Xue Xiaohan raised her eyebrows, "What will happen?"
Fan Sen rubbed his nose nervously, "Tang Xiaoxiao is very angry, and the consequences will be serious. If she doesn't make a big deal, she won't let it go... After this time is over, unless China is in turmoil, I will not let her touch it again." Touch these things.”
Hmm... Of course, when he said "things are going to be big", it would definitely not be a small matter.
Xue Xiaohan forced a smile, but she felt vaguely in her heart that this time things were really going to come to an end.
It wasn't until the sun set that Tang Xiaoxiao finally woke up from her drowsiness. Her head was still aching. She saw Fansen sitting on the edge of the bed, playing with the remote control and watching TV. She hated it so much that her teeth itched, and she went up to him and squeaked at his arm. Then he gritted his silver teeth and glared at Fansen with a groan.
Fansen smiled helplessly and patted her head lovingly, "Are you awake? I'll make a call and ask them to bring some food."
"okay."
She responded softly and turned her head in the direction of the TV. In the news broadcast, the conflict that occurred in the city center was recorded today. The sanctimonious spokesperson called on the people to be more rational, but when the reporter interviewed passers-by, was reviled by the common people:
“We don’t even have a chance to survive, why do you want us to be rational
! My husband is unemployed, my son’s boss has taken his money and the whole family has run away, our house has been demolished, and the price of rice, noodles and rapeseed on the market has increased to twenty or thirty yuan per pound... How do you expect us to survive? "
Listening to the old aunt's indignant curses, Tang Xiaoxiao finally sighed, grabbed the remote control, and turned off the TV.
"I was a little impulsive today." Tang Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and gently stroking her lower abdomen. "I just feel very angry. I don't want things to turn out like this. Could it be that for them, Is the power in their hands more important than this country? - They are destroying this country!"
Taking a deep breath, Tang Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, "Fan Sen, I... should make an effort."
"Huh? What?" Fansen was a little surprised.
"It is announced that I, Tang Xiaoxiao, will give a speech at the 100th anniversary of Tunghai University." Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled, "A very meaningful speech, about politics, about wealthy families, about equality, about power... Just Like in Past Speeches, except I should call it The Queen's Speech, right?"
Fansen smiled faintly, and the deep and mysterious smile contained extremely reassuring power, "Okay."
There were many things that Fansen left behind and did not mention, even if that speech was a battle of swords and fire... because he knew that Tang Xiaoxiao would definitely do this, and it was something she was destined to shoulder when she reached the top. It is her ultimate mission as the queen of a wealthy family, and it is the meaning of her existence as a queen.
All he could do was to do whatever it took to ensure her safety, even if it cost him his own life.
Stupid woman, I will protect you, just like the promise I made when Mu Li disappeared.

I have finally written it here. Starting from the next chapter, it is the final chapter - "The Queen's Speech". I hope everyone will like it.
ps: I really feel that I am a warrior. While the breakup was going on and I was coding the text, I had to write about the taste of happiness... I don’t know why, but I always felt that the writing was very sad.
