Of course, the old emperor was not that easy to talk to, but the medicine to relieve the pain was in Xie Rongxuan's hands.
No matter how unwilling he was, he could only do as Xie Rongxuan said.
Gu Ruojiao felt that he really deserved to be called the traitorous minister.
Xie Rongxuan even found a candidate for the old emperor to pass away and ascend to the throne.
It was Zhao Yupei whom I saw that day.
Although he is only seven years old, he is mature and steady unlike his peers.
It's just that he is still young, no matter how well he hides it, the evil in his eyes cannot be completely hidden.
Gu Ruojiao was curious: Why did you choose him?
"Because he has ambition in his eyes."
The old emperor indulged in his harem, but not many of them gave birth to royal heirs.
Zhao Yupei was born to a palace maid.
He was not of high birth, and his mother and concubine were too weak to protect him.
At a young age, I have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.
When Xie Rongxuan met him, he was almost starving to death.
Although he is already five years old, his body is like that of a three-year-old child, thin and frail.
He struggled and ran to the imperial kitchen to find something to eat.
Unexpectedly, I ran into the wrong place and was bumped into by Xie Rongxuan.
At that time, Xie Rongxuan was feeling that his life was boring and he was thinking about raising some mastiff dogs for fun.
In the end, Zhao Yupei came to the door himself.
Seeing the unwillingness and unyielding look in his eyes, Xie Rongxuan suddenly had the idea of raising someone who could fight with him.
After listening, Gu Ruojiao condemned him with her eyes: pervert.
Xie Rongxuan's answer was to push her down and kiss her deeply, pleasing her by the way.
He said it was to please her, but in fact Xie Rongxuan was also very amused.
Every time, the little musician couldn't stand it, so she took the initiative to rub him, but he wouldn't do it.
The reason for the good name is to make her adapt, because I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it on the wedding night.
In fact, men just don’t have good intentions!
He wanted her to fall for him, wanted her to be unable to live without him, and wanted her to understand that only he could give her everything she wanted.
This was what annoyed Gu Ruojiao about him, and he always had to make a fuss and show off his temper for a while after each incident.
Little did he know that Xie Rongxuan liked her like this.
Do something good, and the more you do, the more excuses he will have to punish her.

One month after she was rehabilitated, Gu Ruojiao returned to the Gu family.
This place was once destroyed by a fire and has now been rebuilt.
Xie Rongxuan had it repaired a long time ago.
But the scenery remains the same, but the lost people will never come back.
This is also the reason why the original body is so unwilling.
As the last person to survive, not only did she fail to vindicate her family members who died in vain, but she was exploited and died tragically.
How can you be willing to die like this?
Seeing the sadness on her face, Xie Rongxuan hugged her gently.
"They will feel at ease if you live a good life."
Gu Ruojiao pursed her lips and snuggled into his arms.

A few months later, the old emperor died.
He died very suddenly, as if he had gone crazy, with his hair disheveled and his clothes disheveled, running around and screaming in the palace.
He said that a ghost was chasing him, and that everyone who touched him would be captured and beheaded.
The palace people were too frightened to move, and the guards did not dare to stop him. They could only watch helplessly as he climbed up the tower and jumped down from the tall tower.
Like a watermelon, limbs flew everywhere and brains splattered all over the floor.
Xie Rongxuan and Zhao Yupei watched everything with cold eyes not far away.
Not surprisingly, Zhao Yupei ascended the throne with Xie Rongxuan's support and a posthumous edict.
It was so true that none of the officials questioned it and did not dare to raise it.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, he issued several laws and edicts, one of which was to grant marriage to Xie Rongxuan.
Marry the newly appointed Lord of Wen'an County to him as his wife.
When the imperial edict was delivered, Gu Ruojiao, who had already been stamped with the imperial edict, was still sleeping in.
