It goes without saying that Fang Xiaoxuan can sit in the position of a bachelor. Needless to say, he is very knowledgeable. He is not too old, he is only in his early forties at best. He looks like a middle-aged man with a gentle and gentle manner.
Finally being summoned by the princess Yin Rou, Fang Xiaoxuan was very excited. When he entered the Yonghe Palace and saw Yin Rou, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying goodbye. Yin Rou waved her hands unhurriedly and said with a smile: "Master Fang, please
rise."
Fang Xiaoxuan stood up, raised his eyes and glanced at Yin Rou, and then hurriedly lowered his head. He had heard people say before that the princess's beauty would captivate the whole country. After seeing it today, he felt that the rumors were untrue. The princess was not only about her appearance.
It is absolutely beautiful, and it also has a rare ethereal aura, which makes it feel ethereal and unreal, as if the fairy in the painting may disappear at any time.
He was sizing up Yin Rou, and Yin Rou was sizing up at him.
Yin Rou has not met many people, and she is not very good at discerning the good and evil of people, but she believes in one thing. People who look like each other come from their hearts, and people who appear righteous on the outside will not be so bad on the inside. In her eyes,
, Fang Xiaoxuan is such a person.
She smiled calmly and said: "Master Fang has been asking to see me again and again in the past few days. I wonder what you do for Master Fang?"
Fang Xiaoxuan cupped his hands and said: "The reason why I asked to see the princess is..." At this point, he paused and glanced left and right. Yin Rou understood, waved to the maids on both sides, and said: "You guys go out first!
"
"My slave, please leave!" The maids around them saluted one after another, and then filed out of the hall. Yin Rou looked at Xiao Min and Ao Qing, who had not left, and said with a smile: "You two should go out first!"
"Princess!" Xiao Min was not very familiar with Fang Xiaoxuan, and she didn't dare to leave him alone with the princess. She looked at Yin Rou with an expression on her face, hoping that she would let her stay.
The two of them have known each other for such a long time, how could Yin Rou not understand Xiao Min's worries, she smiled slightly and said softly: "It's okay, go!"
Xiao Min had no choice but to exit the hall, and Ao Qing followed suit. However, when she passed by Fang Xiaoxuan, she paused for a moment, took another deep look at him, and then walked over expressionlessly.
As Xiao Min and Ao Qing left, only Yin Rou and Fang Xiaoxuan were left in the hall. At this time, Yin Rou said softly: "Master Fang, you can say anything now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a plop, and Fang Xiaoxuan knelt down on the ground again and said: "Your Highness, the humble minister risked his own life to advise you. Your Highness, the Princess, must never marry the Wind King!"
Yin Rou has been worried about this matter for the past few days. She likes Tang Yin, which even she cannot deny, but she is also afraid and does not trust Tang Yin. She always feels that one day, the Haotian Empire will fall at Tang Yin's hands.
.
At this time, she was also in a dilemma and could not make up her mind about her marriage to Tang Yin.
Now hearing Fang Xiaoxuan's words, Yin Rou was shocked, but she didn't show it on her face. She pretended to be calm and asked lightly: "Why did Mr. Fang say this?"
"The Wind King despises and intimidates the Emperor, and his disobedience is ready to come out. It can be said that the biggest threat to the imperial court at present is not the countries, but the Wind King. Once Her Royal Highness the Princess marries the Wind King, it will push the imperial court into an eternal disaster.
Abyss, I hope that Your Highness the Princess will put the overall situation first and the imperial court first!" As he spoke, Fang Xiaoxuan's eyes turned red and he kowtowed forward repeatedly.
This was the first time that someone spoke out about Tang Yin's faults in front of her, pointing out Tang Yin's disobedience. Yin Rou was still making the final struggle while her mind was churning. She took a deep breath, with a look of displeasure on her face, and said : "Master Fang, as a great scholar and an important minister of the imperial court, how can he take the groundless rumors seriously?"
"Your Highness Princess, this is by no means groundless. Now the power of the imperial court has fallen to the side, and it is all in the hands of the Wind King. Under the banner of the Emperor, the Wind King fights everywhere and oppresses other countries, but these are not the emperor's original intentions! The Emperor is held hostage by the Wind King. , The Feng Kingdom's court has already surpassed the imperial court. If things go on like this, one day, the Feng Kingdom's court will replace the imperial court, and the Feng King... will also replace the emperor!" At this point, Fang Xiaoxuan couldn't help but burst into tears and burst into tears.
Yin Rou couldn't help but be moved by these words, and the remaining hope for Tang Yin in her heart became weaker and weaker.
What Fang Xiaoxuan said is true. It is true that Tang Yin held the emperor hostage and forced the emperor. It is true that the Feng State's court is overriding the imperial court. Many of the ministers in the imperial court have even been bribed by Feng State, or were directly forcibly placed by Feng State. What's more, there are rumors in the palace that Tang Yin once had an affair with Queen Yatong. She didn't believe some of the rumors, but most of them were true and she had witnessed them with her own eyes.
But even if these rumors are true, what can she do? The imperial court has become the weaklings of the Feng Kingdom. What is the way out if she doesn't want to be manipulated by others? Looking at Fang Xiaoxuan who is kneeling below and crying bitterly, Yin Rou feels sad in her heart. Tears also fell.
She stood up, walked slowly to Fang Xiaoxuan, stretched out her hand to help him up, and said in a trembling voice: "I am called a princess, but in fact I am just a weak woman. Even if I have the intention to revitalize the imperial court, I will never recover." Power. In fact, whether I am married to the Wind King or not has no influence on the current situation."
Fang Xiaoxuan's spirit perked up when he heard this. He quickly wiped the tears from his face and said seriously: "Princess, what you said is wrong!" As he spoke, he subconsciously looked around, then walked to Yin Rou and lowered his voice, Whispering in Yin Rou's ear: "Now the core of the Feng Kingdom is all tied to the Feng King. The Feng King has no heirs. As long as the Feng King dies, there will be no successor to the Feng King's throne. The seemingly powerful Feng Kingdom will fall apart in an instant." , there will be civil strife in the imperial court, and resistance forces from Ning, Mo, and even Feng will also arise. At that time, it will be a good opportunity for the imperial court to come forward to quell the war and regain power. It is also the only opportunity for the imperial court."
After hearing what he said, Yin Rou's body shook suddenly, and her face subconsciously showed a look of horror. What did Fang Xiaoxuan mean by this? Was he going to... was he going to assassinate Tang Yin?
She blamed Tang Yin, and she also blamed Tang Yin. She should not bully the emperor and the imperial court over and over again, but she also loved Tang Yin deeply in her heart. Every time Tang Yin went out to fight, her heart seemed to follow suit. Flying away, she never thought that one day Tang Yin would completely disappear from her side.
Seeing Yin Rou's expression changing, Fang Xiaoxuan could understand her thoughts to some extent, but in his opinion, the only one who could save the imperial court was the princess, and the only one who could successfully assassinate the Feng King was the princess.
He said urgently: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is the favorite person of the Feng King, and she is also the person whom the Feng King loves and trusts the most. Only the princess can get close to the Feng King smoothly without arousing the Feng King's suspicion..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yin Rou almost screamed and interrupted: "Stop talking!"
"Your Highness, I have risked my life to remonstrate, and I have already put life and death out of the question. I just hope that the princess can put the overall situation first, abandon personal love for children, and ensure that the Haotian Empire will last forever and prosper forever.
." As he spoke, Fang Xiaoxuan knelt down at Yin Rou's feet again, kowtowed to the ground, and did not raise his head for a long time.
Now Yin Rou finally understood his purpose. Fang Xiaoxuan wanted to assassinate Tang Yin himself.
She felt dizzy and stumbled back two steps involuntarily. She looked at Fang Xiaoxuan, who was kowtowing. Her mouth was slightly open, but she couldn't say a word.
For the sake of the emperor and the imperial court, Fang Xiaoxuan risked his life to persuade him to assassinate Tang Yin. But had he ever thought that asking himself to kill the person he loved most would not be too cruel? How could she do this?
Need to get rid of it?
"Currently, the only one who can save the Imperial Court is Her Highness the Princess. The only one who can protect the Emperor from evildoers, and the only one who can revitalize the Imperial Court is Her Highness the Princess. I have the courage to ask Her Highness the Princess..."
"Get out!" Yin Rou turned around, walked to the front of the seat, and slowly knelt down and sat down.
"your Highness……"
"I want you to get out!" Yin Rou's little face was so pale that she almost roared at Fang Xiaoxuan.
"Alas!" Fang Xiaoxuan's eyes were ashen and his face was filled with sorrow. He looked up to the sky and sighed, murmuring: "At a time of life and death, the princess abandoned the emperor and the imperial court ignored it. The imperial court is over, and our Haotian Empire... is over..."
As he spoke, he stood up tremblingly, but as soon as he stood up, he collapsed to the ground again. Three times in a row, he barely stood up, pushed open the palace door like a zombie, and walked out.
Seeing Fang Xiaoxuan's retreating back, Yin Rou couldn't bear it anymore, crawled on the table and cried loudly.
Her crying was about the cruelty of fate to her. Why should she fall in love with the person who should least be in love? Her crying was also about the injustice. Why should the fate of the entire empire rest on her alone?
She has no one to share her body with.
After Fang Xiaoxuan left, Xiao Min and Ao Qing also entered the main hall. When they saw Yin Rou crying at the desk, the two women were stunned for a moment. Then, Xiao Min became furious and asked: "But Fang Xiaoxuan was rude to Her Royal Highness the Princess? I
Go and capture that thief now!" As he spoke, Xiao Min turned around and went out to chase Fang Xiaoxuan.
Yin Rou stopped crying, raised her head hurriedly, called Xiao Min, shook her head and said, "Master Fang was not rude to me."
"Then why is the princess crying?" Xiao Min looked at Yin Rou blankly, with a look of confusion on his face.
Yin Rou took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face. After a long pause, she slowly shook her head and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I heard Master Fang mention a tragic incident just now, which made me feel something."
She didn't dare to tell the truth. Although she trusted Xiao Min, Ao Qing was Tang Yin's subordinate. If she told the truth, Fang Xiaoxuan might not even be able to get out of the palace gate, and his body would be in a different place. After all, the palace
Inside and outside, they are all people from the Feng Kingdom.
