Xuanzhu stood up. He wanted to go out for a walk and get some fresh air. The conversation with Xuanle just now made Xuanzhu feel somewhat depressed.
Hong Xiaoqing pursed her lips and said nothing. The disparity in status made it difficult for her to say some words. Although Hong Xiaoqing could call her "Zhu" affectionately when no one was around, she still had to call Xuan Zhu as a slave in front of others.
For the master.
Hong Xiaoqing held Xuanzhu's arm, and the two of them walked in the garden. The cold wind blew, but Hong Xiaoqing felt that her heart was colder than outside. If Zhu Tianjiang knew that Xuanzhu secretly agreed to Xuanle's withdrawal from the competition, I don't know if Zhu Tianjiang would
In a fit of rage, she never stepped through this door again. Hong Xiaoqing didn't dare to think about it anymore, that was the outcome she least wanted to see.
"Xiaoqing, why don't you speak? Are you angry with me?" Xuanzhu looked sideways at Hong Xiaoqing and asked with a smile.
"Zhu, have you really promised His Highness Xuan Le?" Hong Xiaoqing looked at Xuan Zhu seriously. He really hoped that Xuan Zhu could say 'no' or shake his head.
However, Xuanzhu's answer disappointed Hong Xiaoqing to the extreme, "Xiaoqing, my third brother is right. In order for the Li family to be passed down better, he is indeed more suitable to be the emperor than me."
"But if you do this, what will my brother and the officials who follow you do? Now the court has clearly been divided into two factions, which are incompatible with each other. If you do this, have you thought about them?" Hong Xiaoqing said coldly.
His face showed a trace of anger.
Xuanzhu smiled bitterly, "Xiaoqing, don't force me. To be honest, since I got seriously ill, I have no intention of fighting for the throne. They may scold me for a while, but they will be grateful to me forever. Third brother has promised me, no matter what
As long as my father reigns, as long as he takes the throne, he will never change the ministers who follow me. As for Zhu Tianjiang, as long as he does not rebel, Xuan Le will treat him like a prince with a different surname."
"Zhu, let's not talk about it for now. The key is how you face my brother and the others now. You also know his temper. I'm afraid if he can't handle it~!" Hong Xiaoqing didn't say any more. She really didn't know how to face it.
Hong Xiaoqing is very conflicted. On one side is Youen and his godbrother, and on the other side is the man he loves. Hong Xiaoqing is a man in the world, and he values loyalty very seriously. If Xuan Zhu was not the prince, Hong Xiaoqing might not
Will throw away in anger.
"Xiaoqing, I'm afraid you have to come forward in this matter. I know this guy Tianxiang very well. His biggest weakness is that he can't be cruel to women. If I go to say it, maybe this guy will really dare to beat me up.
But it's different if you go. The most he can do is scold me in front of you. When he calms down, I will come to apologize in person."
"Zhu, I don't understand why you think His Highness Xuan Le is more suitable to be an emperor than you?" Hong Xiaoqing asked in confusion.
Xuanzhu looked at the green garden and smiled helplessly, "He is crueler than me!" Xuanzhu said silently.
Xuan Le visited today, and the two brothers had an open heart-to-heart talk. The content of their conversation centered around who would sit on the throne in the future.
Even though Xuanzhu has a lot of clever ideas, compared to Xuanle, he is weaker in every aspect. Xuanle is not only scheming, but also very eloquent.
Xuan Le Xiaozhi uses reason to move emotions, starting from the difficulties that the Li family will face in the future. By the end, Xuan Le only used one topic to stump Xuan Zhu.
Xuan Le asked Xuan Zhu, if Zhu Tianjiang rebels in the future, will you kill him after you become the king? If you do, Xuan Le said that he will give in and assist Xuan Zhu in ascending the throne like King Jing. If he can't bear to do this,
Killer, let Xuanzhu withdraw and assist him in taking care of the Li family.
Xuanzhu could not answer this question. Zhu Tianjiang was his friend and his savior. Even if Zhu Tianjiang failed in his attempt to usurp the throne, Xuanzhu would let him go.
After the persuasion of his third brother Xuan Le, Xuan Zhu finally decided to give up the fight for the throne. After this serious illness, Xuan Zhu himself also lost interest in the throne. He knew that Xuan Le was right. Those who are emperors will be punished if they are not ruthless.
The cruel man will kill him. If the two brothers continue to fight, there will definitely be bloodshed. Back then, his father and Uncle Jing killed all the courtiers, and now some old officials are still frightened when they mention this. Xuanzhu does not want Dafeng Dynasty to
If something like this happens again, or even if it really breaks out, my father will definitely take heavy action to quell the matter. Only by taking down the leaders on both sides can the fight between the brothers be quelled. By then, Zhu Tianjiang will definitely be the one to calm down the matter.
The scapegoat was the first to bear the brunt. For this reason, Xuanzhu negotiated terms with Xuanle and decided to assist Xuanle in ascending to the throne just like Prince Jing did back then.
Since Xuanzhu became seriously ill, this was the first time that Hong Xiaoqing came back after being away from the Zhu Mansion for so long. When Hong Baichao saw his daughter, he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He is now the daughter of the father, and Queen Rong awarded Hong Xiaoqing a reward.
My father's status also changed from a poor man to a government official.
As soon as Daniel saw Hong Xiaoqing, he took her to see his wife without saying a word. Yelu Doha was a treasure in Daniel's eyes, and he wanted to show off to everyone he met.
Zhu Tianjiang learned that Hong Xiaoqing had returned to the mansion and took Zhan Ling to the front hall. After a while, Yelu Douha smiled and took Hong Xiaoqing's hand and walked into the hall.
Standing in front of Yelu Doha, Hong Xiaoqing was like a weak tree. Zhu Tianjiang was really worried that if Yelu Doha accidentally fell on Hong Xiaoqing, she would be unable to get out of bed for half a year.
"Sister, you will call this sister-in-law from now on. Of course, now you can call him Sister Zhanling." Zhu Tianjiang took Zhanling's hand and introduced each other.
The love story between Hong Xiaoqing and Xuanzhu has already been performed by Zhu Tianjiang in a touching and touching way. Zhan Ling has long wanted to meet this commoner girl who can enter the royal family.
"Sister Xiaoqing, I've heard from Tianxiang a long time ago that you didn't come with His Highness Xuanzhu." Zhan Ling really wanted to see what Xuanzhu, who was supported by Tianxiang, looked like.
"Ling'er, that guy Xuanzhu has recovered from his serious illness. After he is completely recovered, I will ask him to come and pay homage to your new sister-in-law." Zhu Tianjiang said with a smile.
"Screw you, I'm a prince, how can I call him that?" Zhan Ling glanced at Zhu Tianjiang.
"Don't say he is a prince, even if he becomes the emperor in the future, he still has to be honest in front of me." Zhu Tianjiang said nonchalantly.
"Sister Ling'er, please don't be offended that I haven't come to see you for so many days." Hong Xiaoqing called out to Sister Ling'er obediently.
"Xiaoqing, do you miss your father? Otherwise, why would you be willing to leave Xuanzhu and return home?" Zhu Tianjiang joked.
"Brother, I have something to ask you." Hong Xiaoqing smiled awkwardly. She didn't know if Zhu Tianjiang would get angry and drive her out of the house after hearing what she said.
"You have something to do with me? Oh, I understand. Do you want me to urge you to get married again? Haha, don't worry, what the emperor promised cannot be changed randomly." Zhu Tianjiang thought that Hong Xiaoqing was worried about him.
After all, the husband she is marrying is a prince, so it is normal for girls to be worried.
"Brother, I'm here to tell you something important." Hong Xiaoqing said, looking at Zhan Ling and Yelu Doha.
Zhu Tianjiang was startled, "Xiaoqing, if you have anything to say, you can tell me, you are not an outsider."
Zhu Tianjiang understood what Hong Xiaoqing meant, and it seemed that he wanted to talk to him alone. But Zhu Tianjiang felt that Zhan Ling and Yelu Doha were both his own people, and there was no need to avoid them. Furthermore, Zhu Tianjiang felt that Hong Xiaoqing did not
There will be some big secret that comes to him.
Hong Xiaoqing pondered for a while and finally said, "Brother, Your Highness Xuanzhu~ he has decided to withdraw from the fight for the crown prince." After Hong Xiaoqing finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Zhu Tianjiang's angry outburst.
Yelu Douha and Zhan Ling's expressions changed, and they both looked at Hong Xiaoqing in surprise. During this period, Zhu Tianjiang's affair with Xuanzhu was known to the whole world. All the government offices below knew that Zhu Tianjiang was supporting Xuanzhu.
If Zhu takes the position, if Xuanzhu withdraws voluntarily, then where will Zhu Tianjiang's face be?
The smile on Zhu Tianjiang's face revealed the news, but he was still calm, "Xiaoqing, what's the reason? Did Emperor Chengwu give a secret edict? If so, just say it, don't have any worries, no one will spread your words.
.”
"Brother, it's not the emperor, it's your Highness Xuan Le who went to the mansion. After the two brothers discussed it, His Highness Xuan Zhu made this decision." Hong Xiaoqing said timidly.
When Zhu Tianjiang heard this, he frowned and closed his eyes slightly. If Xuan Zhu was here, he would have rushed over and slapped her. However, there were only three women in the room, and Zhu Tianjiang couldn't express his anger.
"I understand. Please go back and tell His Highness Xuanzhu, thanking him for telling me this news." Zhu Tianjiang shook his head bitterly.
"Brother, don't be like this. If you are angry, I will bear it for His Highness if you want to beat or scold me. As long as you are not angry, just let Xiaoqing kowtow to apologize." After Hong Xiaoqing finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground.
The calmer Zhu Tianjiang became, the more uncertain Hong Xiaoqing felt. If Zhu Tianjiang got angry and cursed on the spot, Hong Xiaoqing might feel better.
"Sister Xiaoqing, get up, this is none of your business." Zhan Ling quickly pulled Hong Xiaoqing up.
Zhu Tianjiang sat still and said, "Xiaoqing, I'm not angry, but cold-blooded. This guy didn't even discuss such a big matter with me. It seems that we are all brothers."
Zhu Tianjiang's face was as cold as frost. After saying this, he stood up and walked out of the hall, throwing away his hands, leaving the three women on the spot.
