After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 412 Xiao Zi, do you know who the new emperor is?
There is fine snow falling in the sky, and the east is gradually turning white.

Wei Zi was looking forward to it when Zhou Jing suddenly came on horseback covered in blood.

She reined in the horse's hooves, raised her soft whip, and smiled brightly at Wei Zi: "It's over!"

Wei Zi anxiously ran down the white marble steps: "Did we win?!"

"That's natural!" Zhou Jing stood up and dismounted. "Last night, my father prepared 30,000 imperial guards in the palace. Even if cousin Hehuan hadn't come out, he would have planned to attack my grandfather. Fortunately, Xiao Fengxian was already prepared. , arranged for the personal soldiers to be stationed near the capital in advance. The eldest emperor brother and Hua Yannong entered the underground palace from the entrance of the cold palace and introduced the personal soldiers into the palace. Now that the father had been defeated, they heard that the Grand Master and the others were discussing the matter of deposing the emperor. . I was worried that you were anxious, so I came over to tell you the news. Is grandma okay? "

Wei Zi was completely relieved after hearing this.

She said softly: "Grandma is fine."

The twilight illuminated the entire palace.

The falling snow reflected gold, and the falling snowflakes became crystal clear.

The civil and military officials and their families who had been hiding all night walked out of the palace one after another.

Wei Zi helped Mrs. Wei walk through the palace alley and couldn't help but look back.

She couldn't see Xiao Fengxian today, and she still felt a little regretful.

Mrs. Wei seemed to have penetrated her thoughts and patted the back of her hand gently: "Deposing the emperor is not a trivial matter. I'm afraid the palace will be very busy next."

"What I know..." Wei Zi whispered, "Grandma, who do you think will inherit the throne after the emperor is deposed?"

Mrs. Wei looked forward.

At the end of the palace lane, stands the majestic palace gate.

Currently, the only adult princes are Zhou Xianyuan and Zhou Xianfeng.

Will one of them inherit the throne?

The old man smiled gently: "No matter who the new emperor is, it is better than the deposed emperor."

Wei Zi couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, none of his children are better than him."

Back at the Duke's Mansion, Wei Zi freshened up and had a good sleep.

Early the next morning, the heavy snow had stopped.

It was only the third day of the first lunar month, and the sound of firecrackers in Shangjing City could be faintly heard through the courtyard wall.

Wei Zi thought while combing her hair, if it hadn't been for the palace change, the house would have been full of friends and bustling at this moment.

She tied a white jade comb into her bun and put some bright red lipstick on her lips.

Zhou Jing and Yu Hehuan came in one after another, each holding a hand stove: "Xiao Zi."

Behind them, Murong Jiuli also followed.

Wei Zi quickly stood up with a smile and greeted him: "Why are you here together? Qingju, go get tea and snacks!"

There was a fire burning in the boudoir, which was very warm.

After they sat down and exchanged greetings with each other, Zhou Jing took the lead and asked mysteriously: "Xiao Zi, do you know who the new emperor is?!"

Wei Zi saw the smile on her brows and eyes, and was about to guess whether it was her brother, the Fourth Prince Zhou Xianfeng, when Murong Jiuli took the lead and shouted, "It's Xiao Fengxian!"

Zhou Jing and Yu Hehuan immediately looked at her with disgust.

Yu Hehuan held the round fan and turned away: "It's boring, you are such a disappointment."

Zhou Jing also scolded: "You are the only one who can speak when you open your mouth. If you can speak so well, why don't you become an envoy to another country?!"

After being scolded, Murong Jiuli picked up the hot tea with satisfaction: "I just love to join in the fun, do you care about me?"

Wei Zi was puzzled: "Why is it him?"

Zhou Jing smiled: "Guess why——"

"Because Zhou Xianyuan doesn't care about being the emperor!" Murong Jiuli held the hot tea in his arms, "He made an agreement with me that he will not participate in the political affairs of the court in the future, and will only peacefully go to the Imperial Academy to supervise the master and educate the children. I think so. Very good, he is such a stupid person, even if he becomes the emperor, he will be deceived by the people below, so he might as well not do it! Zhou Xianyuan said, when the spring comes, you will officially marry me. You see, I am also loved by someone. Yes." Zhou Jing held her forehead.

She really wanted to sew Murong Jiuli's mouth shut!
Wei Zi thought for a while and felt that Zhou Xianyuan's choice was actually very suitable for him.

"As for my imperial brother," Zhou Jing explained, "he has never thought about being an emperor since he was a child. My grandfather also often said that he did not have the qualifications to be an emperor. He was just a warrior and could only be a conservative monarch. If he wanted to It is not possible to expand the territory or change the laws and regulations. My emperor brother himself does not like to be restrained in the palace. He prefers to go beyond the wall and the border. He and my grandfather plan to go to the north again next year. "

As a result, the other princes are still young, and it seems that only Xiao Fengxian is left.

He is the child of King Dingbei.

At the beginning, it was supposed to be King Dingbei who ascended the throne as emperor.

It is very reasonable for him to inherit the throne.

Zhou Jing looked at Wei Zi and raised her eyebrows sincerely: "It seems that our family is going to have a queen!"

Wei Zi secretly clenched the handkerchief.

She never thought that it would be Xiao Fengxian who would ascend the throne as emperor.

If he became the emperor, would he still like her?
Will he draft women and take in concubines?

A feeling of uneasiness spread in my heart.

She doesn't want Xiao Fengxian to be the emperor.

At the same time, in the palace.

Murong Tao was forced into a prison to await interrogation.

Zhou Shuo was demoted to the cold palace.

When Hua Yannong came over, Zhou Shuo was wearing a threadbare and thin robe and running wildly in the snow with disheveled hair. As he ran, he seemed to see something buried in the snow. He quickly bent down to dig through the snow and picked it up. Got that thing.

It is a palm-sized fallen sycamore leaf.

He was so happy that he put the sycamore leaf on his head as an imperial crown, clapped his hands and laughed and said: "Oh, I am the emperor! I am the emperor! Mother and concubine, have you seen that the child is the emperor? No one dares to bully us!"

A man in his forties seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

His hair is much whiter again, and his face is full of wrinkles.

The cold wind blew his face red, and he clapped his hands and jumped and laughed, completely delirious.

He was happy when several young eunuchs suddenly rushed out, snatched away his phoenix leaves, pushed him down in the snow, and punched and kicked him: "Bah, you are worthy of being an emperor?! You are worse than a pig or a dog!" "

"Woooooo!" Zhou Shuo cried and protected his head, "That's my imperial crown! It's mine! Give it back to me, give it back to me!"

His response was endless beatings and abuse.

And this situation has been played out four or five times in the cold palace in just two days.

Zhou Shuo thought he had become the emperor again and again, but he was exposed and beaten again and again.

He will never get what he wants in his life.

Xiao Fengxian quietly appeared beside Hua Yannong.

He looked at Zhou Shuo from a distance.

This was the punishment he gave Zhou Shuo.

He wanted him alive.

Live a long life.

Because sometimes, life is often more painful than death.

Hua Yannong smiled: "Your play is really wonderful."

Xiao Fengxian said calmly: "Now you can tell me why you keep helping me and Rong Jiarong?"
