"Who is guiding him behind the scenes? That is our biggest enemy." A man took the initiative to speak. He did not think that Zhou Xingyun was very capable. There must be an expert guiding him behind the scenes.
"I have also investigated the past. His reputation in Fujing City was not very good, and he was called a libertine by the people. Until May last year, he was mediocre. It was after he came into contact with Taifu Xu's granddaughter that he became a libertine.
Changes have occurred. Could the person who was guiding him behind his back be Taifu Xu?" another man speculated.
"How many years do you think I have been competing with that old guy? How much weight does he have? I still know what he is thinking in his heart." The bald old man said naively: "Including the fact that he wants to use a beauty trap to win over the sixteenth prince and me.
Against... Hehehe, he is such a ruthless old man."
"If it wasn't Taifu Xu, I think... there should be no one else. After all, his reputation in Fujing City is extremely bad, and local residents call him a prodigal libertine." Everyone here has investigated Zhou Xingyun's background. They
The results obtained are basically the same.
Zhou Xingyun stayed at Jianshu Villa all year round and did nothing at all...
"Prodigal prodigal? Are you kidding me? This is not funny." The bald old man stood up angrily and said: "The Crown Prince and Young Master... No, the Crown Prince will ascend the throne soon. In a few days, he will be the orthodox Young Master.
My imperial uncle, you actually say that he is a prodigal?"
"My subordinates only heard rumors from Phuket City."
"So, they are only qualified to be ignorant people who are allowed to be incited by others, and regard things that they cannot understand as heretics." A flash of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the bald old man: "Prejudice, ignorance, and extremes have caused a lot of commotion a while ago. Even I have it.
Isn’t the Apocalypse Battle in Qinglian Mountain that I heard about just the trick they did? To be honest, it was a good show that I appreciated. It would be great if that kid died..."
"Yes……"
"In short, the danger of that little guy is comparable to that of a witch. He might be the most serious danger we should be wary of. Please be more careful."
"Yes, Prince."
"And more! I almost forgot the point. If not all of the Zhenbei Division sent out by those idiots are dead, just bring them back. Aren't we just short of manpower? Dogs can also bite people."
"As you command!"
"Tsk, although the hot pot meatballs taste good, compared to the barbecue burrito I had last time in Beijing, I always feel that it is a little bit different... I really want to go to Beijing to eat barbecue burrito. Next time any of you come to Beijing to inquire about news, remember
Bring me two portions, fresh from the oven, sizzling hot. Oh oh...hot..."
After that, the bald old man continued to eat hot pot without anyone else...
The day before the enthronement ceremony, Han Qiumiao suddenly visited the Zhou Mansion and dragged Saonian out of the room, who was fooling around with Xuan Jing and Yuan Ying in bed.
At first, Zhou Xingyun was confused. He didn't understand why Her Royal Highness the Princess had the leisure to come to him when the enthronement ceremony was about to begin. It wasn't until Han Qiumiao stated his intention that Zhou Xingyun knew that the future emperor wanted to see him...
Although Zhou Xingyun didn't know what Han Feng was doing with him so early in the morning, he was the future emperor after all, so Zhou Xingyun gave him some face.
As a result, Zhou Xingyun and Xu Zhiqian accompanied Han Qiumiao into the palace.
Xu Zhiqian followed the two of them. It was the Empress Dowager and Taifu Xu who came to see her for something, so the little cute thing gave them a ride.
"Isn't it troublesome for you to do this?" Zhou Xingyun came to the small bamboo forest of the First Grade Academy and asked Han Qiumiao impatiently.
Every time the royal family meets with someone, they have to travel long distances in and out of the imperial city, so they can't save their time and just find a nearby teahouse to have the meeting.
"Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony. It is impossible for the queen mother to let the emperor's brother leave the city. I only brought you in without telling the queen mother."
"What's so urgent? Can't you tell me after you ascend the throne?"
"How do I know that the emperor's brother insists on seeing you before he ascends the throne?"
"Just in time, I also have something to tell him."
Zhou Xingyun and Han Qiumiao entered the small bamboo forest, while Han Shuangshuang drove Xu Zhiqian to the Imperial Garden to meet the Empress Dowager.
"What are you going to tell the emperor's brother?" Han Qiumiao looked at Zhou Xingyun, as if he had guessed something.
"After my brother-in-law succeeds to the throne, I plan to resign and return to Jianshu Villa."
"What about me?"
"You are my wife, so of course you come with me."
"..." Han Qiumiao fell into silence. She was actually quite happy when she heard Zhou Xingyun's words, but she couldn't show her joy, lest Zhou Xingyun become complacent.
"What? Is there anything you can't let go of?" Zhou Xingyun asked curiously. The sixteenth son of the emperor no longer exists, and Han Feng has succeeded to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Han Qiumi should have nothing to worry about and can follow him back to Jianshu Villa with peace of mind.
Anyway, leaving the capital does not mean severing ties. If Han Feng encounters trouble again, they can still come back to help.
"It's nothing. I also think it's time for the emperor's younger brother to be independent." Han Qiu Miao Hanhan replied. In the past, she and the empress dowager were by Han Feng's side, and many things were handled by them. Now that Han Feng has ascended the throne, it is time to let him
Let go and govern the world.
"By the way. What are the Queen Mother and Mrs. Xu looking for Zhiqian for?"
"Oh, do you still need to ask? I have already said that she is the best candidate to be the queen."
"No way! Zhiqian has made a lifelong commitment to me, and the Empress Dowager still wants to beat her up? No, I have to go rescue her!"
Zhou Xingyun decisively turned around. Unexpectedly, Han Qiumi stretched out his hand to pull him back before taking two steps: "Why are you so anxious? If Zhiqian doesn't agree, the Empress Dowager will have nothing to do with her."
Han Qiumiao said matter-of-factly, with Han Feng's character, as long as Xu Zhiqian did not agree, even if the Queen Mother granted him a marriage, he would not necessarily nod.
Furthermore, it is well known to everyone in the capital that the Grand Tutor's granddaughter is the fiancée of the young miracle doctor. It would be good for Xu Zhiqian to agree. If she does not agree, the Empress Dowager forces her to marry Han Feng and become the queen, which will definitely damage the reputation of the royal family.
The most important point is that Zhou Xingyun is not what he used to be. The Empress Dowager and Taifu Xu must weigh the pros and cons. If they force Xu Zhiqian and cause Zhou Xingyun to hold a grudge, things will be difficult to handle.
"What if she agrees!" Zhou Xingyun felt guilty. You know, he likes to bully little cute things every day. What if Xu Taifu and the Empress Dowager cheated and Xu Zhiqian agreed in a hurry, wouldn't he cry and faint in the toilet?
.
"That's great!" Han Qiumiao said bluntly, and praised Zhiqian as the best candidate to be the queen and assist Han Feng in governing the world. If she is willing to agree, it will be a blessing to all people.
"No! I still have to rescue him!" Zhou Xingyun turned around again. Although he was 100% sure that Xu Zhiqian would not leave him, he was still very uneasy even though he was sure.
"Don't worry, Zhiqian is becoming more stubborn and harder to deal with than me."
"But why do I think you are easier to deal with than her?"
"Because you only know how to act hooligan."
"Your Royal Highness Princess, let me ask you, do you dare to let me play hooligan on you tonight! Ouch... How can you learn to kiss Xiao Suyao if you don't learn from me? If you can't persuade someone, just do it."
Zhou Xingyun was talking nonsense in a serious manner, but Han Qiumiao pinched his belly button with her small hands and turned him around 360 degrees with hatred.
"Who told you to talk nonsense?" Han Qiumiao suddenly stopped and raised his head forward, signaling Han Feng to wait for him over there.
"Aren't you going?"
"If he wants to talk to you alone, he must ask me to watch for you in advance."
"Okay, I'll come back as soon as I go, okay?" Zhou Xingyun boldly stretched out his hand, pulled Han Qiumiao in front of him, kissed him, and then ran away.
"You...!" Han Qiumiao raised his hand to slap someone, but Zhou Xingyun ran away too fast, and she had no time to react.
"Xiao Qiuqiu's angry look is as beautiful as a fairy!" Zhou Xingyun, who was running away, suddenly turned around, put his hand on his mouth, and blew a kiss to Han Qiumiao.
When Han Qiumiao saw this, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. This man's bold and rude actions always made her angry. But she looked at his silly smiling face and listened to his naked praise.
, but she was secretly happy in her heart and couldn't really be angry with him.
"Good morning, Xiaofeng."
"Brother Zhou..."
"Why are you recruiting me into the palace in such a hurry?" Zhou Xingyun met Han Feng in the bamboo hut of Yipin Academy. Although Han Feng would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor tomorrow, his attitude towards Han Feng was still so casual.
"Brother Imperial...Brother Imperial..." Han Feng's voice was a little hoarse, and he finally clenched his fists tightly, tears falling uncontrollably: "I still couldn't redeem Brother Imperial until the end."
"You are too soft-hearted..." Zhou Xingyun sighed helplessly. When he met the Queen Mother yesterday, he already knew that the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor had been secretly executed.
However, Zhou Xingyun did not expect that Han Feng would feel sad over the death of the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor...
"No... Brother Huang was not like this before." Han Feng seemed to be reminiscing about his childhood and began to confide in Zhou Xingyun.
Zhou Xingyun didn't know if he didn't listen. Listening to Han Feng's statement, he really didn't expect that when the emperor's sixteenth son was young, he and Han Feng were inseparable brothers.
"The emperor once told me that if he could succeed to the throne and become emperor, he would be like his father and be a good emperor who could bring peace to the world. He also agreed with me that if I became the emperor, he would
Spare no effort to help me govern the world."
"Huh?" Zhou Xingyun was confused. Are the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor they know the same person?
"It's just that later... there was a rumor in the palace that the emperor's brother was not his father's biological son. After that, for some reason, the emperor's whole person changed."
"..." Zhou Xingyun frowned. At this time, he couldn't help but feel that he seemed to have heard something he shouldn't have heard. If possible, he hoped that Han Feng would stop talking, lest he know too much and his life would be in danger.
"A few days ago, I begged my mother, hoping that she would allow me to meet Brother Sixteen. As a result... Brother Huang committed suicide in front of me."
"Did the Sixteenth Prince commit suicide?" Zhou Xingyun was very shocked. He had always thought that the Empress Dowager had beheaded him.
"Yes, he committed suicide when he met me. But the emperor said his last words to me before he died..." Han Feng recalled the situation at that time. It seemed that the sixteenth son of the emperor had been waiting for him. When the two met, he only
I said something to him...
'For the sake of the world, don't admit defeat.'
After saying this, the sixteenth prince committed suicide in front of him.
