Chapter 19 The Reborn Prince of the Hou Mansion (19)
Her tone was firm, and her expression was surprisingly peaceful and gentle. Si Xiao's eyes froze, and then he shook his head quickly: "No, you can't go."
"Do you think I will die at Xi Jin's hands?" Nan Xian blinked slyly: "Don't underestimate me. My six months of hard work is not in vain. My master is the number one killer in the world."
An assassin suddenly appeared in the hunting ground, and the autumn hunt ended in a hurry.
When Yongrong Hou realized that he had fallen into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain and hurried back, it was already too late. When he heard that Nan Xian was going to risk his life to save Yongrong Hou's wife and Si Yao, he firmly disagreed.
And when he returned to the imperial city, Xiang Nanxian was surrounded by a group of elite soldiers to protect him.
However, before a group of people returned to the imperial city from the paddock, news that shocked everyone spread from the imperial city.
Just the night before, countless rice papers were suddenly sprinkled over the imperial city.
The next day, some people picked it up and read it. The content on the paper was: "Emperor Dongyao is a woman, and God is going to destroy Dongyao."
Suddenly, rumors spread.
Inside the eight-treasure carriage with a green cover and beaded tassel, Nan Xian silently looked at the internal skills and mental methods.
Si Xiao lowered his eyelashes in silence, not knowing what he was thinking. Occasionally, he quietly raised his eyes to peek at Nan Xian, with a complicated look on his face.
Qixi couldn't figure it out: "Host, why didn't you deal with the problem of Concubine Shu earlier? It would be good to poison her to mute, but now that your identity as a woman is exposed, what should you do?"
"I just want her to reveal my woman's identity. Who says a woman can't be the emperor?"
"..." Qixi found that this host impressed her more and more.
I originally thought that the host was just a pretty face, but I didn't expect that the host was so eclectic on the inside.
When Si Xiao turned his gaze over again, Nan Xian raised his eyes lightly: "If you want to ask, just ask."
"Are you a woman?" Si Xiao stared at her with a complicated expression, his eyes dark.
Nan Xian turned his gaze back to the internal skills and mental methods, and said "hmm" disapprovingly.
The boy opposite suddenly became furious: "How can you be a woman? Didn't you say that you are as good as Long Yang...!!"
"Do you think I look good?" Nan Xian was amused by his shocked reaction and leaned closer.
What a demo! When I poked her anus, I was so straightforward and didn’t even give her time to reveal my identity. Now I’m confused.
Is there any connection between the two?
Si Xiao stared at the little face so close to her, with bright almond-shaped eyes, red lips and white teeth. He had always known that Nan Xian's appearance was the same as that of the late empress, and her appearance was naturally stunning, but there was never a time when she was so close that his heart beat like a drum.
Subconsciously I held my breath.
"Pretty women tend to lie." Nan Xian reached out and poked the boy's chest ambiguously, with a smile in her eyes: "So you don't have to worry about me in three days. I also want to settle the matter as soon as possible, so that the world will be peaceful."
He slowly straightened up and leaned against the wall of the car: "You don't have to feel guilty. I'm not only doing this for you, but also for myself. Now that rumors have spread that I am a woman, if I don't do something important to make everyone surrender to me, then this will happen."
I can’t sit firmly on the throne either.”
"Yongronghou Mansion is a good choice. If I save Mrs. Yongronghou and Siyao, then from now on, Yongronghou Mansion will swear allegiance to me. Who in the government and the public will dare to question my woman?"
identity?"
Si Xiao looked at her quietly, as if he had never known her before.
He even suspected that Nan Xian deliberately let his womanhood be exposed to the world.
Every step she took seemed to be stepping on sharp ice, walking on thin ice, but with a faint smile.
Because of the rumor that "Emperor Dongyao is a woman", when the emperor returned to the imperial city with a huge procession, people all over the city stood shoulder to shoulder in the streets, stretching their necks to see the emperor's true face, but they were majestically blocked by the imperial guards who cleared the way. A few feet away.
Even so, Nan Xian still heard doubts among the bustling crowd.
"Your Majesty, may I ask if you are really a woman?"
"Since ancient times, no woman has become emperor. If Dongyao were to be a woman, she would be punished by heaven!"
"Women are causing harm to the country. Your Majesty, please give an explanation to all the people."
"..."
Nan Xian turned a deaf ear and looked at the internal skills and mental methods calmly.
After three days, I will have to fight to the death. I am just trying to make ends meet, so I can try to make up for it as much as possible.
On the first day after returning to the palace, Nan Xian suffered from insomnia. She flew up to the eaves and counted the stars until midnight. After falling asleep, she was woken up by the cold wind. She returned to Qianqing Palace shivering and huddled under the quilt.
In the morning of the next day, all the officials looked at the hanging dragon throne and looked at each other.
"The Emperor has arrived——"
After Xiao Liangzi shouted at the top of his lungs, Nan Xian slowly walked out from behind him.
Baiguan's pupils trembled.
The person who walked out from behind Xiao Liangzi was dressed in a golden brocade with flying flowers. Her beautiful blue silk hair was tied into a noble and complicated bun. She was decorated with gold hairpins with clouds and phoenix patterns and golden begonia beads. She swayed with hollow steps as she walked. Delicate and swaying.
"Do you have a memorial for all my dear friends?" Nan Xian sat on the dragon chair and smiled slightly.
The ministers seemed to have a lump of mud stuffed into their throats. The memorial had been prepared long ago. Looking at it now, it seemed unnecessary.
Your Majesty, you are truly a woman.
The rumors are true.
The court sighed for a while, and finally an older minister stood up in fear: "I dare you, as your majesty is a daughter, you are not qualified to succeed to the throne of Dongyao. Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for a woman to enter politics."
"Aren't I setting a precedent?" Nan Xian looked innocent: "I have been on the throne for more than three years, is there anything I have not done well?"
This is not unreasonable. Let’s look at the case of the prince of the Duke of Xinguo’s palace who raped a commoner’s daughter and defiled an official daughter. The emperor was able to exterminate relatives in a just and righteous way. He ignored the nepotism of the former empress and just robbed the Duke of Xinguo’s palace and suffered the consequences of the palace’s justice. , is enough to be called a wise king.
Not to mention that last year, the emperor also had unique and resolute insights in controlling floods and diversion of water from the south to the north to promote the economic development of the country, which attracted praises and praises from the court to the temple.
"This..." The old minister's face changed slightly, but he still said bravely: "There is nothing wrong with the Holy One, but there is no precedent for a woman to be in power among the four countries."
"I'm tired of hearing Du Aiqing's words. Since I have set this precedent, I naturally have the confidence to set this precedent well."
Suddenly raising the end of his eyes, Nan Xian looked at Du Yushi and smiled: "Du Aiqing is so anxious to oust me, could it be that he already has someone recommended to be the emperor?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate silence in the palace.
Du Yushi paused, his eyes flashed, and he risked his life to remonstrate: "I do have a candidate in mind."
"oh?"
Nan Xian seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and there was no emotion or anger on his face: "Who does Du Aiqing think is more suitable to sit on this throne than me?"
All the ministers turned their attention to Du Yushi. They really didn't expect that this old man, who usually didn't talk to anyone in court or court, would be so brave at this juncture.
"I believe that Yongrong Hou's son, Si Xiao, is worthy of the throne because of his literary and military skills, extraordinary wisdom and bravery."
