Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, are you still afraid of Luo... Is there anything unexpected happening to the princess in this palace?"
Chongzong exclaimed: "Xiao Bao and the Xiao family are not in danger, but Sanjuetang, you must not underestimate him."
Before Xu Zizhen could speak, Li Luoyan suddenly stood up and said firmly: "I won't leave, but I want to see what Sanjuetang is capable of. Besides..." She gritted her teeth and said slowly, "I want to serve my mother.
revenge!"
Chongzong said anxiously: "Luo'er... why are you doing this? Let's not talk about Sanjue Hall, but Xiao Babble has countless sinister means to deal with you."
Li Luoyan interrupted him and said: "It goes without saying, I will never leave!"
Chongzong didn't expect her temper to be so stubborn, but he was anxious and angry but couldn't do anything to her.
Xu Zizhen suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have tolerated it for so many years, so you must be ready to avenge your shame?"
Chongzong laughed and said, "Why do you say that?"
Xu Zizhen spoke calmly: "Since the emperor has said it himself, the fierce battle a few years ago almost destroyed all your secret power, but when I was in front of Chengtian Palace, I saw a new group of dead soldiers.
, although the skill is unknown, but that short crossbow... tsk tsk, anyway, I am quite scared."
Chongzong didn't refute, just looked at him with a smile: "Is there anything else?"
Xu Zizhen continued: "The way you pretend to be weak and incompetent in front of others is nothing more than a way to paralyze your opponents to protect yourself. But now that the new forces you secretly cultivated have matured, it is natural that it is time to take revenge.
, so since the emperor is willing to make them public at that time, which means that he is not afraid of being discovered by others again, he is naturally ready for a life-or-death showdown with the Xiao family or Sanjue Hall."
He looked at Chongzong with the same smile: "Your Majesty, do you think my guess is correct?"
Chongzong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! I really saw you right, you are a smart man!"
Xu Zizhen smiled and cupped his hands: "You're welcome." At this point, he suddenly smiled and said slowly, "But your Majesty, haven't you thought that even I can see that Sanjuetang and the Xiao family can't
Can no one see it? Did you reveal your trump card a little early?"
Chongzong raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Do you think I will be so stupid? Luo'er is eager for revenge, but I have never forgotten it." He paused and suddenly changed the topic, "Xu Zhuangshi, what month is it now?
?”
Xu Zizhen was stunned and subconsciously replied: "October."
Chongzong said: "Yes, October! Then do you know why I want to attract their attention at this time?"
Xu Zizhen shook his head: "I don't know."
Chongzong said in a deep voice: "Two months from now is the Lunar New Year, which is also the time of my Great Xia Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. Sanjue Hall has made an agreement with the Xiao family to launch an attack during the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony and force me to abdicate!"
Force me to abdicate! These four words were like a heavy hammer, which made Xu Zizhen dumbfounded. He had seen Empress Xiao's arrogant face, but he didn't expect that she would really dare to do this. Although the Emperor of Xixia was in his eyes
It doesn't carry much weight, but she is still an emperor after all. Is this woman mentally ill? She doesn't want to be a good queen and she has to marry the palace. Doesn't she plan to become a female emperor herself?
It’s not surprising that Chongzong would know Sanjuetang’s plan, unless he was really a fool. At this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind and he asked: “Your Majesty, what do you mean by showing your cards in advance... on purpose?
Let them discover that you have new powers, and then force them to rush into action and disrupt your plan?"
"Not bad!" Chongzong's eyes were shining, and he still looked as depressed as before. "Two months are enough to arrange everything perfectly. Likewise, two months in advance can make them completely unable to cope."
Xu Zizhen couldn't help but secretly admire Chongzong. It was not easy to do what he did as emperor. While pretending to be stupid and deceiving the people closest to him, he also secretly cultivated new forces and accumulated strength to plan revenge.
At this time, he also understood Chongzong's good intentions. It was not that the emperor could not defeat Sanjuetang, but that he wanted to ensure that his daughter was 100% safe and at the same time be free to take revenge with peace of mind.
Chongzong glanced at Li Luoyan, his eyes full of love, and said softly: "Although I have no shortage of children, I only love Luoer. She has been wandering around in the past few years and has suffered a lot. I don't want her to get involved again."
In the midst of this fierce battle, I ask Master Xu to agree to take Luo'er out of the palace and return to the palace after the matter is settled."
Xu Zizhen sighed secretly. He pitied the hearts of parents in the world. Even the emperor could not help but have this tender side. His parents both died early and he envied this kind of selfless fatherly love. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and said: "Okay,
I promise you!"
Li Luoyan opened her mouth and was about to refute, but Xu Zizhen raised his hand to stop her, looked at Chongzong and said, "When are we leaving?"
Chongzong looked at him with approval and said: "Now the palace is full of Xiao family spies. It's not easy to leave easily. However, I have made arrangements. There will be people outside the palace to cooperate tomorrow morning. Master Xu Zhuang, you only need to
Take Luo'er out of this door, and someone will naturally help you."
Xu Zizhen nodded, but before he spoke, he heard someone cough lightly at the door, and then said a few words through the crack in the door. The old eunuch suddenly turned around and ran over, saying urgently: "Your Majesty, Empress Xiao has gone to your palace.
.”
Chongzong's face sank: "Humph! She really keeps an eye on me!" After saying that, he looked at Li Luoyan and said softly, "Luo'er, I... I promise you as a father, I will avenge your mother!"
Li Luoyan bit her lip, nodded slowly, and suddenly whispered: "You...be careful!"
Chongzong was shocked, with a look of surprise on his face, but he didn't stay any longer. He turned around and strode away. Seeing that he had reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said to Xu Zizhen: "Master Xu, Xiao Babble has paid attention.
When it comes to you, you must also be careful!"
…
After Chongzong left, Li Luoyan seemed to be in a bad mood. She sat on the couch with her hands on her knees and lowered her eyes without saying a word. Xu Zizhen knew that she was unhappy because the thing that had been hidden in her heart for several years was finally overturned today.
When he came out, he wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know where to start.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Meng didn't know what to say. He stood aside scratching his head and looking extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, there were several pecking sounds outside the door. Li Meng ran to open the door, only to see a guard saying respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, the Emperor asks you to move to Suining Palace and leave the palace early tomorrow morning."
