Prince, the princess calls you to dream

Chapter 216 Die for you
The word "sister" was like a sharp knife that cut through his eardrum and pierced straight to his heart, causing him to shudder in pain.

Ning Shiqian bent his lips and smiled bitterly: "Why does she need my protection?"

"Why don't you? Only if you are the emperor of Sanglin can you resolve the conflict between Sanglin and Da Zhao, and the hatred of Sanglin people towards Bai Jiuxiao."

"Besides, the situation in the court is changing rapidly. At this moment, it seems that she has turned from danger to prosperity, but who knows when she will be framed again. After all, she has made too many enemies."

"When the time comes, how will you make her a weak woman who has no military power and does not participate in government affairs, how can she protect herself?"

"If you have the protection of a powerful emperor brother like you, she will be safe, right?" Concubine De asked.

Ning Shiqian lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The truth is that.

How could he not understand the truth?

It's just that the feeling in his heart at this moment can't deceive anyone. He didn't feel the slightest joy or even sadness because he had climbed to the top.

When Emperor Wen came to Nuanxiang Pavilion, he saw Bai Jiuxiao lying on a deck chair in the courtyard basking in the sun comfortably.

Tongquan and a group of palace people were about to salute, but Emperor Wen put a finger on his lips to signal everyone to silence, and raised his sleeves to signal everyone to back down.

Tongquan left quietly with everyone.

Emperor Wen walked lightly to the reclining chair, and leaned over to see if Bai Jiuxiao was asleep, but found that her eyes were open, looking at a pear tree not far in front of her, wondering what she was thinking.

"Sister Huang is so engrossed in her thoughts that she has lost even the most basic level of vigilance." Emperor Wen said.

Bai Jiuxiao was startled, turned his eyes, and saw that it was Emperor Wen, who sat up and made a gesture to get up and salute, but Emperor Wen pressed his shoulders: "There is no one else, so there is no need to be more polite."

"Is the emperor finished with his official duties? Why come here when you have time?" Bai Jiuxiao asked.

Emperor Wen went to a low chair opposite Bai Jiuxiao and sat down with his robe lifted: "What? You must be free to come to Huangjie's place, and you must be busy with business?"

"Yes." Bai Jiuxiao replied.

Emperor Wen puffed his mouth and said: "I am wearing a memorial, my hands are numb, I can't even go out for activities, the emperor is so strict, I don't feel sorry for me at all."

"Don't worry, you can't be too tired. Numbness in your hands can only mean that you still have too few approvals." Bai Jiuxiao said.

Emperor Wen: "."

Bai Jiuxiao lifted the teapot on the small tea table in front of him, poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

Emperor Wen took it, took a sip, and sighed lowly: "I really want to go back to the days when the emperor sister helped me approve the memorials."

Bai Jiuxiao bent his lips: "It's a beautiful idea."

"By the way, does the emperor know? Emperor Sanglin passed the throne to the fourth prince Ning Shiqian? Today's enthronement ceremony." Emperor Wen asked.

Bai Jiuxiao said "Yes", "I heard what Tong Quan said."

Tongquan reported the shocking news to her early in the morning.

"It's strange, Emperor Jing is in his prime, why did he pass the throne all of a sudden?" Emperor Wen was puzzled.

"I heard that I'm sick, and I want to rest in peace."

That's what Tongquan told her.

"It's impossible to pass it on to Ning Shiqian. I heard earlier that the third prince who was the most important to him once asked him to kill a woman who fell in love with him in front of the civil and military officials of the court. What he said was a big deal. Don't get involved in love, many people guessed at the time that the third prince might be the future prince."

Bai Jiuxiao pursed her lips.

She had also heard about it.

"That woman is the old emperor's secret guard. She can't get involved in any big event. It's just an excuse he made. He just wanted to kill her. Moreover, the third prince assisted Bai Sanhong in defeating the army this time. The old emperor didn't pass on the throne to the He is also normal."

Emperor Wen nodded: "That's true."

Taking another sip of tea, Emperor Wen stared at Bai Jiuxiao: "I heard that Sister Huang has a good relationship with Ning Shiqian, do you want to send a letter to say congratulations?"

"It's not bad, but it's just to save the master and cooperate with him. Besides, the emperor should send a letter of credence to congratulate him, right? It's fine for Da Zhao to send it. I personally don't need to send it." Bai Jiuxiao's face was as pale as autumn water. , without much emotion.

Emperor Wen bent his lips and put down his cup: "Well, the letter of credence has just been issued, and Miss Huang thinks that he is the emperor, is it good or bad for me, Da Zhao?"

"It's not a bad thing for Da Zhao and Sang Lin, at least the two countries won't be caught in the flames of war from time to time."

How could Bai Jiuxiao not know about the temptation of her, the emperor's younger brother, but she still chose to tell the truth.

Ning Shiqian being the emperor would only be a blessing for the two countries.

"Is the emperor's hand rested enough? If it's enough, go back and continue with the official business." Bai Jiuxiao said.

Emperor Wen was wronged: "Sister Huang, is this driving me away?"

"No, state affairs come first."

"Okay," Emperor Wen got up, "I'm actually going to the Tenth Princess's Hongxiu Palace on business. I passed by your Nuanxiang Pavilion, so I came in to have a look. The imperial sister has been watching, and I dare not neglect official duties."

Bai Jiuxiao smiled, stood up and bowed: "Respectfully send the emperor off."

Sang Lin, Dragon Flying Palace
Ning Shiqian sat on the dragon chair in the inner hall in a bright yellow dragon robe, and felt that he was dreaming.

Looking at all the furniture, furnishings and decorations in the inner hall that had been replaced, and seeing the bustling of the changed group of palace people, he felt that everything was so unreal.

"Your Majesty is tired, my slave will take care of the Emperor for a while."

Emperor Jing moved to Shangfan Palace as the Supreme Emperor, Wende and all the original palace people of Longxiang Palace went with him, including Zhan Mo, the guard with a sword in front of the imperial court.

At this moment, the one who asked him for instructions was Yuan Bao, the chief eunuch of Longxiang Palace, who was originally working next to his mother and concubine in Xiangrui Palace. His mother and concubine gave it to him, saying that he is honest, honest, hardworking, and knowledgeable. rest assured.

Shi Lei followed him into the palace and became his bodyguard with a sword.

Ning Shiqian raised his hand and pressed his forehead, he was really tired.

The past few days have been busy with various handovers, and the enthronement ceremony has just been completed.

But he didn't want to go to sleep.

He has no habit of sleeping on the couch during the day.

"It's okay, I'll just sit and rest, you all step back." Ning Shiqian raised his sleeves.

Yuan Bao retreated with the palace people.

The inner hall suddenly fell silent.

He crossed his arms and leaned back on the dragon chair, closing his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, drowsiness hit him, and he felt that he seemed to have fallen asleep, but he didn't seem to.

In the dimness, it seemed that someone was coming, he opened his eyes, and the other person's familiar eyebrows came into his eyes, he stood up excitedly: "Bai Jiuxiao!"

"Why are you here? Why didn't anyone come in to report?" Ning Shiqian happily stepped forward, as if preparing to hold her hand.

Bai Jiuxiao took a step back to avoid it, and suddenly pulled out a dagger, pressing it against her own throat.

Ning Shiqian's expression changed drastically, and he stopped.

"Ning Shiqian, as an emperor, why have you never married? Is it because of me? Do you know that you have turned me into a sinner forever? Do you marry her only after I die? Then I will die for you!"

After Bai Jiuxiao finished speaking, he cut his throat with the dagger in his hand.

Yin Hong's blood spattered out, and Ning Shiqian yelled in shock, "No!"
