The night was so dark that the eyebrow-like waxing moon set very early, making it difficult to distinguish the scenery on the ground.
In the Zheng'an Hall, the candlelight flickered, making the shadow of the person beside the bed long.
"Xitian, I will postpone the matter of establishing the queen until the beginning of next month at most. If we delay it any longer, Xia Qingtian will definitely become suspicious. If someone else is chosen to be the queen, the game between you and me will be in vain." Murong Leiting held the medicine bowl.
, after saying that, drink the medicine in one gulp.
Murong Xitian could not help but pause when the words came to his lips and did not speak.
If the queen is sealed earlier and Xia Qingtian solves this most important move, will he definitely grab Xia Ziluo and force her to reconcile with him in the next step?
But the situation is indeed as Murong Leiting said. If it drags on any longer, Xia Qingtian will definitely find out the clues.
Optional option for the second position? Definitely not possible.
But it was even more impossible for Xia Qingtian to force him to reconcile with Xia Ziluo!
"Isn't there any other legitimate way to delay it any longer?" Murong Xitian racked his brains. Next month is July, which is June on the lunar calendar. It is a month where there are no festivals in the year.
Murong Leiting raised his head in slight surprise, and there was a faint light in his dark pupils that were almost the same as his: "Xitian, the last time I asked you why you asked me to delay, you said we would talk about it later. So now, should you say something?
What’s your reason?”
"I..." Murong Xitian was left speechless by the question.
How did he tell the emperor's brother? He said that he fell in love with Xia Qingtian's daughter Xia Ziluo, and then said that this Xia Ziluo was not actually the same Xia Ziluo?
Who would believe this? Xia Ziluo looks exactly like Princess Xiao.
Besides, since he had such close contact with her, it was only recently that he confirmed that she was really not the real Princess Xiao. And the imperial brother himself had little contact with Xia Ziluo, and coupled with his prejudice and hatred for the real Princess Xiao, how could he believe it?
"It's a matter of great importance. Let's discuss it with my brother later. Since we can't find any excuse to delay, let's set a date and hold a canonization ceremony to officially rectify Concubine Zhen's name." Murong Xitian secretly clenched his fists. This delay
His excuse was about to be invalid, and he had to think of a way quickly so that Xia Qingtian would not have time to pay attention to what happened between him and Xia Ziluo.
Murong Leiting was equally attentive, so he could naturally hear the perfunctory tone in Murong Xitian's words.
However, he is not Murong Xitian's enemy, but his elder brother. As an elder brother, what else can he do besides supporting his younger brother's decision.
Is it possible to use the throne to suppress someone? That is what a foolish emperor does.
"It's good that you know what you're doing. But if you go astray, as the elder brother, I have the responsibility and obligation to lead you back to the right path. If it really comes to that point, I will definitely intervene forcibly, do you understand?" Although Murong Leiting
I trust Murong Xitian, but I still have to mention something.
Lest he be misled by his cleverness.
"My brother understands." Murong Xitian nodded. Suddenly he thought of something and when he raised his head, his eyes flashed wildly, "I wonder if Brother Huang still remembers Chao Tide?"
Murong Leiting was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Tide? Why did you suddenly ask about her?"
"It's nothing. I just remembered the stories my father told me when I was a child, and I was a little curious about her life. However, these things can only be known by emperors of all generations. It was my younger brother who was abrupt." Murong Xitian looked like he regretted immediately after asking,
His brows were knitted into knots.
"Rules are set by people, but people are alive." Murong Leiting waved his hand casually and called Eunuch Lei over.
