Fighting is broken, but the heroine script.

Chapter 626 The Third Reincarnation

Qiandu, the new emperor ascends the throne.

However, the new emperor was none other than the eldest princess, Cai Lin, who was not favored by everyone.

Relying on the late emperor's will, she successfully gained the support of the Xiao family, one of the most powerful families in the court.

Although it was not the first time that a woman proclaimed herself emperor, Cai Lin encountered tremendous resistance. But everything was settled with the strong support of the Xiao family.

"Xiao family...really..."

Although he successfully seized the throne, Cai Lin, who came from a royal family, also witnessed for the first time the extent of the Xiao family's power. He was weak and tried to seek the skin of a tiger, so he was afraid that he would not have a good ending.

Following what she was thinking, Cai Lin looked at the stern young man leaning against the door not far away.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Just do what a monarch should do."

Xiao Yan, the head of the Xiao family and the third son that Prime Minister Xiao Zhan values ​​the most, said.

Cai Lin was speechless, but a hint of sarcasm appeared on her charming face.

"What should a ruler do?"

At this moment, Cai Lin, who was wearing a dragon robe and a flowing crown, had a hint of sneer in his tone.

"——Could it be that I am here to be a puppet of your Xiao family?"

"Or do you, the Xiao family, want to share the world with the royal family?"

"My father and brother's thoughts have nothing to do with me."

Xiao Yan looked at the graceful and elegant woman in front of him. If he wanted to, Cai Lin, a spoiled royal girl, would naturally be unable to stop a young boy from doing something to her.

Naturally, everything depends on Xiao Yan's thoughts.

Xiao Yan looked at Cai Lin. The lady from a royal family showed no fear in front of him. His originally calm heart began to ripple slightly as her face became as cold and frosty as ice.

It was difficult for Xiao Yan to explain exactly what kind of feeling this was.

Or maybe it was simply the desire to conquer that naturally emerged after seeing the most beautiful girl.

But Xiao Yan was very clear that his thoughts were not normal.

So he shook his head slightly and said, "As I said, Your Majesty only needs to do what a monarch should do, and it's ok to leave the rest to me."

As soon as the words fell, Cai Lin curled the corners of his mouth in disdain.

But no matter what, the two of them could not escape the fate of being entangled in this way——

Under the control of the Xiao family, the turmoil and unrest caused by the new empress's accession to the throne were quickly quelled, and the forces in the court once again underwent a major reshuffle. A large number of officials who were connected with the Xiao family were promoted, while other forces were suppressed, or uprooted, or fell into silence.

For a while, the Xiao family became extremely popular.

But compared to his father and brother who always show up in public, Xiao Yan, who has been quietly serving Cai Lin, seems to be very obedient.

No matter what Cai Lin wants to do, he will satisfy her, or try his best to satisfy her.

In addition to the rise of the Xiao family, the political achievements led by Cai Lin were also quite famous.

Because Xiao Yan's shadow was behind them, even though many of them had already touched upon the interests of the Xiao family, the Xiao family still chose to turn a blind eye.

But Cai Lin knew very well that the biggest cancer in the court was still the Xiao family. If the Xiao family was not eliminated, everything would be like rootless duckweed.

And if we want to get rid of Xiao family...

Cai Lin's gaze naturally fell on the young man who was sitting not far from her, just looking out the window silently.

She couldn't help but let out a breath, as if she had made some difficult decision.

Hearing the sound of Cai Lin standing up, Xiao Yan slowly turned his head and looked at the beautiful figure approaching.

"Your Majesty, is there anything important you need to tell me?"

"——Who will be in charge in the future among the Xiao family?"

Cai Lin didn't intend to play guessing game with Xiao Yan, so she just said.

"That's naturally Xiao Yan's father and brother."

Xiao Yan's tone was without hesitation, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all.

"So are you willing to be inferior to others for the rest of your life?"

Cai Lin thought that he had some understanding of Xiao Yan...Among the many political achievements he had made over the years, Xiao Yan's advice was indispensable. In terms of personal ability alone, Xiao Yan was no worse than any of his father and brothers. He was even stronger than them, but he just disdained to compete with them.

"Your father and brother just left you beside me like this...to spy on me...do you think that's fun?"

Cai Lin slowly squatted down, then raised her hand to hook Xiao Yan's chin, her tone was charming, combined with Cai Lin's usually cold and distant, serious appearance, she was like a seductive and decadent charm.

"Or are you the least ambitious person in the Xiao family?"

Cai Lin said this on purpose. After spending so much time together, how could she not understand Xiao Yan? But at this time, she wanted to arouse the pride of the man in his heart.

If Xiao Yan didn't take the bait, it could only mean that Cai Lin was blind and had chosen the wrong person.

But how could this be so?
Cai Lin still had some confidence in her own vision and in Xiao Yan's character.

"Does your majesty really mean to say that?"

Xiao Yan then slowly turned his dark red eyes, reflecting the gorgeous yet cold beauty who was so close to him. As he spoke, Xiao Yan subconsciously grabbed Cai Lin's wrist, and the slightly rough fingertips touched a smooth and delicate surface like silk and fat.

"Why, people are not allowed to talk about it?"

Cai Lin smiled mockingly, but it was like adding fuel to the fire that was gradually burning in Xiao Yan's heart.

Xiao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and an irrepressible restlessness suddenly surged in his heart, but after hesitating for a moment, he still let go of the fair wrist of the cold beauty in front of him.

"Your Majesty, please stop joking..."

Xiao Yan shook his head and didn't want to discuss this issue with Cai Lin. However, what Cai Lin saw was Xiao Yan's slightly evasive gaze, which made her chuckle with a little disdain.

"——You are here, what are you afraid of?"

Therefore, Cai Lin did not stop while she was ahead, but took a step closer. She gently stroked Xiao Yan's cheek with her slender jade hand that had broken free. The corners of her eye-catching and seductive mouth slightly raised, revealing a provocative smile, and then she said.

Xiao Yan had never realized that His Majesty, when taking the initiative, could be so alluring.

It is simply irresistible for any man. After all, Xiao Yan is not a saint who has no desires, and he is just a young man full of vigor and vitality.

"Must you do this, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but close his eyes in distress, then took a few deep breaths, and then spoke after a long period of silence.

"——Help me, and I will let you be the head of the Xiao family."

Cai Lin also knew that the truth would eventually come out, so she immediately pinched Xiao Yan's womanly white cheek, and her particularly enchanting eyes stared straight into Xiao Yan's dark red eyes, and said.

“After my father and brother, I will naturally be the head of the Xiao family.”

Xiao Yan still shook his head and said.

Before Cai Lin could say anything, he took the initiative to pinch the smooth and delicate chin of the cold beauty in front of him. On the face of that arrogant woman and in her enchanting scarlet eyes, he saw the surprise, surprise, bewilderment, and unexpectedness that he wanted to see.

"So, I don't want to be the head of the Xiao family. This kind of bargaining chip that is so easy to get is not even worth discussing."

"Then what do you want?"

Cai Lin's red eyes flickered slightly as she spoke.

"How about letting me be the head of your majesty's Xiao family?"

Xiao Yan's fingertips gradually became more unbridled. His slender, fair but somewhat rough fingertips gently slid along the beauty's unmade-up cheeks, finally revealing the greedy ambition hidden beneath his distant surface.

Cai Lin couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. Naturally, she didn't expect Xiao Yan to answer like this.

I always feel like I was fooled by this guy...

Cai Lin vaguely sensed that something was not right, and felt that she had fallen into Xiao Yan's trap.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yan looked at her and asked, as if waiting for her answer.

"…Did you plan this from the beginning?"

Cai Lin looked at Xiao Yan, a wave of inexplicable thoughts arose in her mind, and she couldn't help but ask.

"That's not the case. I have been trying very hard to endure the charm that Your Majesty naturally exudes—"

Xiao Yan looked at Cai Lin. Even though the desire in his eyes could no longer be concealed, he was still telling the truth.

To be honest, Xiao Yan also found it difficult to explain what kind of feelings he had for the empress who had always been by his side. Was it simply a desire to conquer the beauty of Gaoling? Or was it admiration as a lone warrior?

If nothing unexpected happens, it will naturally be both.

But from the moment Cai Lin took the initiative to tease him, everything no longer mattered.

"--fraud."

"It's the same with you—"

Xiao Yan then picked up Cai Lin's graceful and beautiful body. Although the young man did look a little thin, there was no trembling in the movement when he picked up Cai Lin, and he looked particularly relaxed.

Cai Lin looked at him. Although she was cursing him, she did not show much disgust. It would be better to say that if she didn't like him, she would never do such a thing.

The only difference is that they both learned to hide their true thoughts.

"Is this the first thing you promised to do for me?"

"That would require some necessary compensation, right? Besides, as a royal family, how can you survive without an heir? Although the Second Prince has become a vassal king, I think he is still eyeing us covetously."

Xiao Yan asked back, causing Cai Lin to roll her eyes.

"You just keep looking for excuses—"

Cai Lin sneered at Xiao Yan as he made various excuses for his dirty desires, but she did not resist. She just smiled faintly and watched Xiao Yan's ugly appearance.

After this, the marriage between Cai Lin and Xiao Yan was quickly put on the agenda under the manipulation of the Xiao family.

Half a year later, Xiao Yan became the king's husband. A year and a half later, Cai Lin gave birth to a daughter named Xiao Xiao.

The power of the Xiao family reached its peak from the moment Xiao Xiao was born.
