If he could do it all over again, Xiao Yunci would definitely go back to the past six months and slap himself twice. Why would he be so obsessed with serving this ancestor?
What Xiao Siyu said is true. The competition for candidates to send envoys to Dazhou is fierce. Everyone wants to come to the prosperous Dazhou to see it. It is also an honor to represent their country as an envoy.
Xiao Yunci's identity took advantage of him, and he had to go through five levels and kill six generals before he could win this job.
But he didn't expect that Xiao Siyu could cause trouble so much. He didn't even know if he could leave Dazhou alive if she allowed her to continue.
The most important thing is to suppress your anger and ask for the truth of the matter, "Princess, you said you were not responsible for the collapse of the platform, but you see the chaos around you, the Crown Princess is alone, and you ordered someone to assassinate her, right?"
"Yes, of course I will take this opportunity to kill her. If she dies, Crown Prince Yuan will be mine. I only regret that I showed up a little late, otherwise Crown Prince Yuan will be my consort. What will happen to her!
"
Xiao Yunci almost vomited blood. In the past, she thought that there was nothing wrong with princesses taking human lives lightly. Noble people have the privileges inherent with gods, and the lives of untouchables do not need to be concerned.
Just like cattle and sheep, they are raised to eat meat. They have to pay for it. Do they still care about the feelings of cattle and sheep?
But now, the lives that Xiao Siyu is ignoring are not those of the untouchables in his own country, and the consequences will be very serious.
"Don't go anywhere. If you want to keep your life, just listen to me and I'll go find out the news."
"It should have been like this a long time ago. What are you doing here with me?"
Xiao Siyu looked as if he should take it for granted. He dared to ignore it. After returning to China, his mother would be the first one not to spare him.
After Xiao Yunci investigated, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he was actually caught alive. If the princess was exposed, Da Zhou would definitely not let it go. This woman really wanted to die!
His people know it themselves and will definitely not betray their master, but what if?
It is better to keep quiet to rest assured. If the person dies, there will be no evidence. Xiao Yunci can say that they acted privately and cannot implicate the princess.
Even if Prince Yuan was dissatisfied, he had to endure it for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
He thought of this and went to see Yuan Rui in person.
It's just that Yuan Rui didn't see him. He was still in the palace. After such a big accident, no matter how bad Emperor Xianqing's health was, he still had to step in and take charge of the overall situation.
The casualty statistics were calculated. More than fifty people died and countless others were injured. This was the first time in so many years that such a tragic accident occurred.
Fortunately, King Cheng was not dead or injured. He just fell into the water and caught wind and cold, and he is recovering in the mansion.
Thanks to Bai Jinyu for saving him, Bai Jinyu was close to him. When he fell, Bai Jinyu immediately jumped to save him, otherwise King Cheng would have been in trouble.
Bai Jinyu's ability was also forced by Yuanhua. If there was an accident, he could not always let Yuanhua rescue him. He was a weak scholar and forced himself to practice martial arts and learn various skills every day in order not to be rescued by Yuanhua in the future.
Taken lightly.
Emperor Xianqing heard that Wen Yao had also been assassinated and that he was from Dajin, so he naturally suspected that the accident was related to Dajin.
Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Military and Horse Division jointly investigated the case thoroughly.
Yuan Rui's handsome face was full of solemnity, and there was worry hidden in his eyes. Are Yaoyao and the child okay?
Fortunately, his mother was by his side, otherwise he would have lost Yaoyao and his child. Thinking of this possibility, Yuan Rui could not contain the killing intent in his eyes.
Emperor Xianqing saw his anger and said: "I know you are angry, and I am equally angry. Da Jin's visit this time has great ambitions. Not only the capital must be strengthened, but also the border must be prepared for war.
Xiao Rui, my health is not good, and your cousins are useless. I need you to help me take care of my worries. This time I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the capital, commanding the five major battalions, the Imperial Guards, and the Military and Horse Division.
You can mobilize the troops and horses within 50,000 at will."
Yuan Rui knelt down and said: "I am young and have no leadership experience. I dare not take on such an important task. Thank you for your appreciation. I am worried that I will live up to the emperor's love."
Emperor Xianqing said: "Experience is not important, and ability is not the most important. The most important thing now is loyalty. Apart from my own family, I don't trust others to protect my safety.
Xiao Rui, I have watched you grow up, and I trust you. I don’t believe that this matter happened without the interference of the big money spy."
Yuan Rui thought for a while, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I have a suggestion. How about the third prince be the commander, and I be the deputy commander?"
Emperor Xianqing looked at him deeply: "Okay, I'll do as you say. You go back and see Wen Yao. She is pregnant with the child. Is she scared?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I express my gratitude."
Yuan Rui left without looking back. No commander or deputy commander was as important as Yaoyao and the children.
As soon as he left, Emperor Xianqing showed a tired look, and the eunuch Zhou Liangyu brought ginseng soup, "Your Majesty, take a rest for a while, don't work too hard, be careful with the dragon body."
"I don't want to work hard, is that okay?"
Emperor Xianqing was deeply worried. His sons had no future and his grandson was still young. How could he not worry?
"Yuan Rui is a good boy who values friendship and cares about the family. It's a pity that he is not my son. I asked him to assist Boyi because I was afraid that he would be too powerful and would not return Boyi to Boyi in the future, which would be another big hidden danger.
"
Zhou Liangyu didn't dare to talk to him. The emperor was suspicious and trusted Prince Yuan. He was also worried that people's hearts would change over time. Prince Yuan was his nephew, second only to his son in terms of blood. If Prince Yuan had second thoughts, none of the princes would belong to him.
opponent.
However, Emperor Xianqing now had to rely on Prince Yuan's ability to stabilize the capital, which was very contradictory.
Emperor Xianqing closed his eyes, as if asleep, and suddenly asked: "When will Wen Yao's child be born?"
"It should be more than three months away. The due date is in autumn. It's neither cold nor hot, so it's suitable for confinement."
"Well, it's good. That girl is lucky, but it's a pity..."
What's a pity?
It's a pity that I couldn't get married as my own daughter-in-law. I originally thought of marrying a Wen Liu. It would be smart to have Wen Yao, and also have a bit of sisterly love, and take more care of Prince Xuan's palace.
Who knew that Wen Liu didn't look like a gentle sister? She was greedy, selfish, stupid, and cruel. Emperor Xianqing had never seen such a cruel and stupid girl. She didn't look like a biological sister.
Yuan Rui said goodbye to the emperor, and as soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he was blocked by Xiao Yunci who was waiting outside, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it's a huge misunderstanding. I wonder how the imperial concubine is doing? Can I go and visit her?
"
Yuan Rui said with a cold face: "See if my Yaoyao is dead? Prince Xiao, a wise man doesn't tell secrets. I don't care who is in charge. Anyone who dares to attack my wife and children is my Yuan Rui's enemy."
Let your princess be well fed and fed, and her neck cleaned, and I will personally let her know what regret is."
