Chapter seven hundred and eighty first thoughts (two)
A man won't shed tears easily.
Sheng Hong is usually playful and casual, but in fact he is tough-minded.
At this time, my mood was extremely excited, and I shed two tears.
After Xie Mingxi said those two sentences, her mood that had been gloomy for several days completely calmed down. She chuckled and said, "If others knew about our conversation at this time, I don't know how they would be shocked. In this world, someone is going to do it for me."
The emperor apologizes to his wife. Isn't it even more ridiculous that this wife, who will be the queen, looks tolerant and generous?"
Sheng Hongxuan had completely let go of his heavy thoughts for the past few days and was in the mood to joke: "Isn't that right? We, as a couple, are unparalleled in this world."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Sheng Hong stared at Xie Mingxi for a moment, then leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. Then, he said close to her lips: "Mingxi, as the emperor, I will never be as narrow-minded and heartless as the emperor brother.
The emperor will not live up to his wife's deep affection like his father, and he has many beauties in his harem."
"I don't believe in any oath in my life, and I never like to swear. In the next three to five years, ten to eight years, twenty to thirty years, I will show it to you."
"I, Sheng Hong, want to make you, Xie Mingxi, the unique queen in this world who is envied by everyone!"
His eyes were like obsidian, shining with a stunning light.
No one can doubt the sincerity of what he said at this moment.
Xie Mingxi couldn't help but feel moved.
She was a cold-blooded person with almost no passionate impulses, and she was never easily moved by people's words. Only Sheng Hong could make her heart tremble and she couldn't help it.
"Okay, I believe you." Xie Mingxi also said something she had never said in her life: "Sheng Hong, I believe you will not let me down."
Sheng Hong leaned down and kissed Xie Mingxi's lips deeply.
Xie Mingxi slightly raised her head to meet her.
As their lips and tongues intertwined, each other's heartbeats gradually became in harmony.
After a long time, Sheng Hong raised his head. He had been working hard for several days, and his handsome face was a little haggard. At this time, his eyes and brows were filled with contentment and joy: "Mingxi, I am really happy now."
Xie Mingxi also had a smile on her face: "What? Have you been worried and trembling all these days?"
Sheng Hong did not feel ashamed and admitted frankly: "Yes. I am afraid that you will make me break my promise, and I am afraid that you will leave me in anger."
Xie Mingxi glanced at him and said slowly: "Aluo can't live without a father. Don't worry, I won't abandon you."
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong looked sad and angry: "It turns out that in your heart, I am not as important as A Luo at all."
"Of course." Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong played a long-lost trick: "Aluo came from my belly and is my flesh and blood. It is also the bond that I will never let go of in this life. As for you, if you dare to do anything, I'm sorry.
I will definitely not be able to forgive you."
After a few friendly banter, the two got down to business.
"In a few days, the emperor's body will be buried." Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed and she lowered her voice and said: "Once the funeral is over, Mr. Lu Ge and others will definitely bring up the matter of establishing a new emperor."
"You must hold back and resolutely refuse. And propose that the matter be left to the cabinet and the Queen Mother for discussion and decision."
Since the founding of the Qi dynasty, there has been no precedent for an emperor to be assassinated and have no heirs to succeed to the throne. In the previous dynasties, there were cases where brothers ended up with brothers. However, in order to take the initiative, one must have a good posture in such matters.
Moreover, this matter must be used to suppress Empress Dowager Yu in one fell swoop! Otherwise, Empress Dowager Yu will become the most difficult problem in the future.
The husband and wife have always had a tacit understanding. When Xie Mingxi opened her mouth, Sheng Hong knew what she meant and nodded slightly in agreement.
After discussing in a low voice for a few words, Xie Mingxi added: "How to deal with the King of Lu and the King of Fujian and the King of Ningxia? Do you have a plan in mind?"
As a courtier, he was naturally not qualified to deal with the feudal king. Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention this matter. It was obviously planned that after the new emperor came to the throne, he would be dealt with by the new emperor.
A coldness flashed in Sheng Hong's eyes: "After all, we are all siblings, so we can't kill them all. Killing one is enough!"
Xie Mingxi felt relieved and reminded in a low voice: "It is only right and proper that the queen mother should handle this matter."
Being a murderer is definitely not a good reputation. Even if that brother commits a heinous crime, death is not a pity. But once Sheng Hong takes action, he will have a reputation of killing his brothers in the future.
Of course, such "good things" must be left to Queen Mother Yu.
Sheng Hong deeply agreed, nodded and replied: "You are right. When concubines quarrel, it is most appropriate for my aunt to take action to deal with it."
In the Jiaofang Hall, Queen Mother Yu, who had fallen asleep, suddenly sneezed.
…
A few days later, Emperor Jian'an's funeral ceremony finally ended, and it was time to open the coffin and bury him.
Emperor Jian'an had no heirs, so the legitimate son of King Lu and the legitimate son of King Min all dressed up in mourning clothes and joined the mourning procession.
Brother Ji is slightly older, he is seven years old this year. Brother Lin and Brother Ting are both four years old, and they are both children who don't understand things well. How can Zhao Changqing and others rest assured after traveling all the way to the imperial mausoleum?
However, at this time, no one can say a word no.
King An, who had been ill for many days, still did not feel better.
On the day when Emperor Jian'an's coffin left the palace, King An immediately fell ill with a high fever. People in the palace were in a state of confusion. No one except Princess Jing paid attention to King An's illness.
No one expected that this high fever would almost kill King An.
Concubine Duan came to Jiaofang Palace crying, and knelt at the feet of Queen Mother Yu with a plop: "Please Queen Mother, please save King An! King An has been feverish all day and night. The high fever has not gone away, and his whole body is frighteningly hot."
If this continues, Prince An will die. Please, Queen Mother, please save my son."
Concubine Duan cried heartbrokenly, tears streaming down her face, and she no longer looked as charming and frivolous as before.
Empress Dowager Yu thought that Concubine Duan was too noisy and scolded her with a frown: "Why are you crying? If you are sick and have a fever, just ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her. What's the use of crying in front of the Ai family?"
Concubine Duan did not dare to cry any more and said with sobs: "I am in a hurry. Please forgive me, the Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Yu was impatient and wasted no time with Concubine Duan, so she ordered her to go down and let Envoy Zhao go there in person. Then she sent Concubine Duan to leave.
One day later, the envoy from the Zhao Yuan came to reply in person: "Returning to the Queen Mother, I have tried all my methods, but I have not been able to relieve His Royal Highness Prince An's fever. According to Weichen, I am afraid that... I have to make some preparations in advance."
Queen Mother Yu was slightly surprised.
It turns out that Princess Duan was not exaggerating.
King An's illness was really fatal.
King An is eleven years old this year, which is exactly the age of half a teenager. Logically speaking, young men of this age rarely die young. Unless they are short-lived and unlucky...
It can also be seen from this that the King of Shu is born with good luck. Even the last "opponent" is extremely ill. Without any effort, the throne will fall into his hands.
