Xiao Junhan patted her hand, motioned her to sit down, then held her in his arms and said, "How can it be so easy? I have a string stretched all over my body now, and it will break at any time. Ci'er, Tell me, how confident are we this time?"
Shen Jingci put away the smile on her face and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, now we are fighting against the odds, and success or failure depends on this. So don't ask me how sure I am, you can only tell yourself that we can only win and not lose. !”
Because after a defeat, Xiao Junyi's fate is a lesson for them!
Hearing this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Xiao Junhan's eyes, and he said coldly, "You are right, we have no way out now, we must either fight a bloody path forward. Or we can only retreat into the cliff!" "
Seeing the determination in his eyes, Shen Jingci smiled with satisfaction and said softly, "Your Majesty, I believe in you. You have always been the person I admire the most."
Since ancient times, the admiration of beautiful women is the most beneficial to men, and Xiao Junhan is no exception. He held Shen Jingci in his arms and said softly, "Cier, don't worry, as long as I win, you will be my queen!"
Shen Jingci smiled charmingly and asked something else, "What about the princess?"
The princess is naturally Murong Wan.
As soon as the three words Shen Jingci came out, Xiao Junhan's expression changed immediately.
He made this same promise to more than just Shen Jingci. Moreover, Murong Wan was not alone. After all, she was the princess of the Great Food Kingdom. If he really made Shen Jingci his queen after he ascended the throne, then the Great Food Country would definitely not agree.
Therefore, as long as he truly ascends the throne, the position of queen must belong to Murong Wan.
But on Shen Jingci's side, he couldn't give up. Not to mention anything else, that secret army alone was the magic weapon he wanted to win now.
It was absolutely impossible for him to throw away the meat he got.
Therefore, Shen Jingci could neither be sparse nor too close, he could only coax her.
Coaxing the other person to do things for him, coaxing Shen Jingci to live on her own breath step by step.
But he would not let Shen Jingci spy on these words.
So Xiao Junhan just sighed slightly, held Shen Jingci in his arms, and whispered, "Ci'er, do you think someone who died of a sudden illness after I ascended the throne will still be made a queen?"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Jingci's eyes suddenly flashed with joy. Xiao Junhan was nakedly telling her Murong Wan's fate!
However, after Shen Jingci's joy passed, doubts arose again, "Can the prince do it?"
Xiao Junhan smiled slightly, showing a bloodthirsty smile, and said slowly, "If we can't do it, this country will have to change its surname to Murong. Do you think I can't do it?"
After feeding the reassurance pill, the smile on Shen Jingci's face became real.
In mid-April, King Dingnan resigned and left the capital on the grounds that the frontier was indispensable without a commander. Emperor Jing agreed.
A few days later, King Dingbei and his family also left the capital where they had lived for a long time and returned to the border.
But before leaving, the two kings unanimously divided the tiger talisman in their hands into two, leaving half in the capital.
In other words, if the two kings want to raise troops again in the future, they cannot do so privately without passing the emperor's edict.
From then on, there was no more powerful military minister, including the vassal king.
April 23rd is Concubine Ye’s birthday.
Nowadays, things happen one after another in the palace, starting with Concubine Hui and ending with Concubine Jing. Up to now, the only concubine in the palace who can take charge of affairs is Concubine Ye. The others are either too low-ranking to be mentioned, or they are too old and frail to be favored. After all, although Concubine Ye is a concubine, she has already Queen's honor.
Not to mention the son in her name, the third prince Xiao Junxi is already a serious prince. He is located in the East Palace and monopolizes the power of the government. It is not without glory.
On the day of Concubine Ye Guifei's birthday, it was still dark, and Xie Ruzhuo was woken up by Jiangzhu. Seeing her sleepy look, he said softly, "Mother, it's time to get up."
Xie Ruzhuo calmed himself down a little, looked at the sky outside, and then he took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
Since Xiao Junxi became the crown prince, her status has also increased and she became the crown prince and empress, and then moved to the East Palace to live.
It's just that she is different from the comfort she felt in the palace. Not only does she have to meditate every day at dawn and dusk, but she also has to deal with various matters in the palace under the deliberate guidance of Concubine Ye.
Fortunately, Concubine Ye is not harsh on others, and Xie Ruzhuo is smart, so things are going smoothly now.
After Qianbi and others brought water to help her wash and make up, they went to Concubine Ye's palace with them.
But after he arrived, Xie Ruzhuo realized that he hadn't arrived early enough.
Not only Princess Qi and the newly married Princess Ping are here, but also Xiao Xinning is here, laughing and chatting in Concubine Ye's palace.
Everyone looked harmonious and happy.
Xie Ruzhuo walked in with a smile, greeted Concubine Ye with a smile, and saw several princesses also stood up and saluted, "I have met the Crown Princess."
According to the rules, Xie Ruzhuo is now the Crown Princess, and her status is higher than that of several princesses.
Xie Ruzhuo accepted the gift with a smile, then saw Xiao Xinning coming over to support her and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while, and the emperor's sister-in-law has become more and more plump."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately smiled and said, "To each other, I think we are newlyweds. When I look at you, your face turns quite rosy."
Xiao Xinning was originally teasing her, but was teased in return. She immediately looked at Concubine Ye with disapproval and said, "Concubine, look at the emperor's sister-in-law, she is always trying to tease me."
Several people were chatting and laughing in the palace. Princess Ping just smiled at the side and chatted with them from time to time. She looked particularly gentle.
Xie Ruzhuo looked at Princess Ping several times and felt slightly relieved when he saw that she really had a good temper.
Prince Ping Wu Zheng, it is a good thing that he has a wife who understands etiquette and can have a close friendship with her.
After breakfast, the concubines also came to pay their respects in twos and threes. Xie Ruzhuo, who was of high rank, accompanied Concubine Ye to see the guests.
It's just that although there is a smile on her face, if you really look carefully, you will find a trace of anxiety and expectation deep in her eyes.
All the hard work and planning these days have come to fruition today!
The sun gradually climbed up into the sky, looking down at all living things below from the top, spreading its light all over the ground.
Ice cubes had been placed in the hall, and mixed with the occasional wind, it didn't seem hot at all.
But a drop of sweat quietly dropped on Murong Wan's forehead.
Xie Ruzhuo saw this in his eyes and smiled gently, "Does Princess Qi feel hot?"
Suddenly hearing someone's attention being drawn to her, Murong Wan was so busy that she smiled, "It's getting hotter today." As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her head. But the hand was trembling slightly.
Why is there no signal coming yet
But as soon as she raised her hand, she saw from the corner of her eye a firework suddenly exploded in the blue sky and daylight outside!
It was already the beginning of summer, and the sun outside was extremely dazzling, but the fireworks were specially made, and the colorful colors could not be obscured by the intense light.
So the moment the fireworks exploded, Murong Wan's heart skipped a beat, and then her face lit up with joy. She lowered her head to conceal herself and wanted to pick up the teacup to drink water, but her hands were too shaky and she knocked the teacup to the ground.
There was only a "pop" sound, and the blue and white porcelain tea cup broke into pieces. The tea inside splashed on the ground, mixed with the green tea leaves, and sprinkled on the skirt of the clothes. Not only does it not look dirty, but it adds a touch of messy beauty.
Murong Wan's move immediately attracted everyone's attention in the palace. She stood up in a hurry and said apologetically, "My concubine, please forgive me."
But before she finished her sentence, she saw dozens of people in armor pouring in from the door. They came in and surrounded everyone, blocking the dormitory like an iron barrel.
Concubine Ye instantly stood up from her seat and said coldly, "Who allowed you to come in?!"
The low-ranking concubines were holding each other's hands and shaking a little. This scene looked like a rebellion.
As if confirming their inner suspicions, Murong Wan was uncharacteristically smiling and said, "They have no ill intentions. They just want to invite Concubine Mother to talk to everyone here. Concubine Mother, don't be nervous."
As soon as these words came out, Concubine Ye didn't understand why? He pointed at her and said sternly, "Princess Qi, you are deceiving the emperor and ignoring your superiors!"
Murong Wan snorted and said disdainfully, "You deceive the king and ignore your superiors? These four words are good, but concubine, you are just blinded. The real deceiver is not our husband and wife!"
At the same time, a roar rang out from the Imperial Study Room, "Xiao Junhan, you are deceiving me!"
Xiao Junhan looked coldly at the courtiers under his control and the shocked Emperor Jing who was sitting on the dragon throne, and slowly sneered, "Father, how can you say that? Xiao Junxi is unfilial as a human son. , as a disloyal minister, I actually put you under house arrest with the intention of taking charge of the government. I am acting on the side of the Qing emperor, so I must give you justice. Don't you want to thank me, my minister?"
Before he could finish his words, Emperor Jing grabbed the inkstone on the desk, smashed it hard, and cursed, "Damn it, how could I have given birth to such a treacherous son like you!"
Xiao Junhan dodged away and listened to Emperor Jing's curse. He only looked at him coldly and said after a long time, "Am I confusing right and wrong? What about him! He is a sickly body and has made no achievements in the court, but in the end all the benefits were lost. It's all in his hands, but why! They are all your sons, but why do you treat them so differently? Why don't you say that I am confusing right and wrong, but you are too biased and unfair! "
Xiao Junhan looked at Xiao Junhan, who still had a calm expression on the side, and felt that the blood in his body had solidified. He was also the son of Emperor Jing, but Xiao Junxi had been sick and weak since he was a child, and he had not contributed anything to this country at all. Looking back on myself, after so many years of being a bull and a horse, in the end, it was Xiao Junxi who won the throne of the prince!
How could he be willing to do so? !
Emperor Jing looked at Xiao Junhan's appearance with cold eyes and said coldly, "Xiao Junhan, because you are my heir, I will give you a chance now. If you are still so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude." Got it!"
Xiao Junhan broke his face and naturally did not want to pretend anymore. He sneered, "Father, have you ever been polite? Isn't the death of my mother and concubine the best example? I would like to see, father, how are you doing now? A no-brainer!"
