The fifth wife wants to escape marriage: marry the princess

Chapter 200 Peonies Blooming 3
"Your Majesty, what is so happy about?"

"Is it so obvious to me?" He smiled, "I feel at ease when the emperor's uncle returns to his fiefdom."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed in from outside.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, Your Majesty..." Li Ping stood at the door of the bedroom, not daring to come in.

"What's the panic?" Xiao Xuanyu asked, and Wushuang's heart also became uneasy.

Li Ping stood outside the door obediently, and said in fear and fear, "King Qing is dead."

"What did you say?" Xiao Xuanyu stood up abruptly, Wushuang was also terrified, Xiao Xuanyu just let go of his heart happily and said that King Suqing had returned to his fiefdom, how could he die in the blink of an eye?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Please mourn the emperor!" Li Ping knelt on the ground, Xiao Xuanyu couldn't believe it, "tell me clearly, what's going on!"

"This... I don't know about this servant, I only heard that I met a robber in the south of the city... I died on the spot, and now... now I am on my way to the palace."

Li Ping reported anxiously, but Xiao Xuanyu felt a chill on his back, and murmured, "How could he be assassinated in the south of the city? Uncle Huang said that he wants to leave Beijing immediately, he should go north of the city and leave the capital."

Hearing this, Wu Shuang already knew something was wrong, how could she lie on the bed leisurely, put on her clothes and got out of bed in a hurry, but just walked into Xiao Xuanyu and before she could speak, the other party looked at her, his eyes no longer had the calmness and smile that he saw just now Instead, he was filled with sadness, and he asked, "Wu Shuang, is there really no trust and family affection in this palace? Who in the world can trust me?"

Wu Shuang's heart was blocked, Xiao Junyi used to ask himself in such a sad and desperate way, but one day, Xiao Xuanyu would do the same.

No wonder they were unwilling to trust others and blocked themselves one by one. It turns out that no one in this capital can be trusted.

Wushuang didn't know how to get back, wanted to comfort him, but couldn't say anything, so he could only hold his hand, and shouted in embarrassment, "Your Majesty..."

"Wushuang, what about you, can I trust you?"

Xiao Xuanyu asked her suddenly, it was an extremely empty and insecure look, his eyes were full of expectation, as if she was the last life-saving grass, Wu Shuang could not live up to his deep meaning, pursed his lips and nodded uneasily .

Only then did Xiao Xuanyu's tight heart relax slightly, and he sighed, "Fortunately, there is you..." It makes me not lonely in the deep palace; fortunately, there is you, which makes me willing to believe in the goodness of human nature; fortunately, there is you, which makes me feel There are not only fights and injuries in life, but also you, and us...

Xiao Xuanyu stood quietly in the Chunhua Palace, holding hands with Wushuang and looking at the unprecedentedly tense palace in the middle of the night. After a while, someone came to report that King Suqing's body had been transported back to the palace.

Xiao Xuanyu immediately set off to go, Wushuang hurriedly followed, he turned his head and said, "You are in the palace, everything is still with me."

Wushuang shook her head. After getting along for so long, her understanding of him is no longer as superficial as before.At this moment, she really, what does he need.

So, she said, "I'm with you."

Xiao Xuanyu couldn't find a reason to refuse, he needed him by his side more than ever, someone he trusted by his side, so that he could understand that trust itself was not wrong, he was not wrong!

Xiao Xuanyu walked out of Chunhua Palace holding Wushuang's hand. It is now spring, and the fragrance of flowers is floating everywhere in the palace. Against the backdrop of the palace lanterns, the flowers seem to be covered with a layer of orange, hazy, and the fragrance is faint. , It’s so beautiful, it’s extremely pleasing to watch.

However, at this time, none of them had the heart to look at these.

King Suppress is dead!
There are countless ways for Xiao Xuanyu to want him to die, but he also has enough reasons to want him to live.He is his uncle, a relative with the same blood as himself, and he doesn't want anyone to die for the throne, blood flowing like a river... But, things backfired.

What's more, apart from family affection, Prince Su must not die.

He is the prince of the fief, and he is supported by the people there. The incident of the posthumous photo caused a lot of uproar before, but now he died in the capital without any fault. What do the subjects think?
Xiao Xuanyu walked towards the residence of King Qingqing in the palace with a complicated heart. Just now they were drinking together and talking about the past, but who would have thought that after a while, King Qingqing would only be left with a cold corpse.

He was lying on the bed like that, with wounds all over his body, obviously after a desperate struggle before he died.

He had accompanied the first emperor through birth and death, and was once the overlord of one side, but now he died in the capital, and everything in the past is like a passing cloud.

When people die, there is nothing left.

Xiao Xuanyu looked at this cold corpse, imagining what he looked like when he was alive, and his heart became more and more difficult.

Together with King Su Qing, two robbers who died in the hunt and fight were also brought back.

Xiao Xuanyu asked coldly, "Have you found anything? Who did it?"

Commander Zhao, who was in charge of the investigation, looked left and right, hesitated, and signaled Xiao Xuanyu to back away.

And Xiao Xuanyu's left and right are Li Ping and Wushuang, he said, "If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

"Just before the emperor came, his subordinates checked the corpses of the robbers and found... they were all eunuchs." Commander Zhao pulled down their pants, Wushuang was startled, and subconsciously turned his head away.

Xiao Xuanyu's eyes froze and he didn't say anything, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and everyone's hearts were in suspense, not knowing what the emperor would have planned.

After a long time, Commander Zhao boldly asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do next, this assassin came from the palace, this..."

"There's no need to investigate, I know who it is!" Xiao Xuanyu said, glanced at the corpses of the two robbers on the ground, and strode away. Wu Shuang also hurriedly followed, but vaguely heard Li Ping telling Commander Zhao to "not stay".

Nothing was left, Wushuang knew it well, so naturally they did not leave the corpses of the two eunuchs who leaked their identities.

Xiao Xuanyu went all the way to Linglong Palace, Wushuang also followed in, but stopped at the entrance of the palace and did not go in again.Fortunately, he didn't go in, because the palace people inside were quickly driven out by the queen mother.

The palace gatekeepers took the palace gate and hid away one after another. Wushuang stared at the vermilion palace gate in a daze, and heard the Queen Mother roar angrily, "What is your attitude? Who is Aijia doing this for? It's not you! Since you want to thoroughly investigate, then fine, arrest Aijia and give an explanation to the world!"

"Mother, don't force Erchen, don't think that Erchen is afraid!"

Unexpectedly, such words could be uttered from the mouth of a meek son, the queen mother was angry and sad, "You are really a good son of the Ai family, a good son!"

Xiao Xuanyu stood quietly without speaking, his face was full of gloom, without the gentleness of the past.

The queen mother was so angry that she had a headache and rubbed her forehead, but Xiao Xuanyu ignored it, so annoyed that she slammed the table, "What are you doing here, get out of here!"

"Queen Mother, take back your temper!" Xiao Xuanyu said helplessly, and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Stop for the Ai family, and speak clearly!" The Queen Mother sternly said.

"Don't the queen mother understand that it was not Concubine Lan who snatched away the emperor, but you who forced him away. You used to be gentle, but as soon as there was a threat, you couldn't control your temper and hurt others ..."

"Shut up, you unfilial son, even if Ai's family is at fault, you don't need to blame me." The queen mother became angry, "You, like your father, are all fascinated by the treacherous concubine, abandoning the country and the country."

"It's not that the son doesn't care about the country, it's that the mother has done all the work for the son and has taken care of everything. If the son doesn't obediently be the puppet emperor and indulge in sex, wouldn't he be sorry for the mother's hard work?"

The queen mother looked annoyed, "What exactly are you trying to insinuate?"

"My son said, can the queen mother do it? My son asked my mother not to interfere in politics. You clearly promised it. Now if you commit another crime, what else can you say?"

The queen mother felt guilty, but she insisted, "The Ai family is all for your own good."

"If it's really for the son's sake, the queen mother should let the son do what he wants."

"Do you think the emperor is so easy? How many of the things you want to do are feasible? First, make Concubine Heng a concubine. It's just a dream. I don't even look at her background and conduct. There are many women in the palace who are better than her. I'm gone. Then there will be King Suqing..."

The queen mother paused, and said, "The Ai family doesn't shirk it. One person does the work and the other is responsible. It is true that the Ai family sent someone to deal with it quickly."

"Mother!"

"Your Majesty, you don't want the kindness of a woman! You know in your heart whether King Suqing can stay or not."

"He has surrendered, and he is going back to the back cover."

"Don't lie to yourself anymore. Why don't you just leave the capital and go south of the city instead of leaving Beijing? Your Majesty, you know better than anyone else that he lied to you. You think your soft words are useful to him, huh, If it wasn't for Aijia, he would have gathered outsiders to attack my imperial city by now."

"Mother, what is a mere King of Purging? What if he can do nothing to me? Even if he attacked the palace, so what, before he stepped into the palace, his head was gone."

"Since a mere King of Purge is insignificant, why is the emperor making eyebrows with Aijia here? You are tired too, go back to the palace to rest, Aijia will take care of this matter for you."

Xiao Xuanyu was annoyed, "Why doesn't the mother understand that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

"The queen mother is helping you!"

"But my son said, there is no need!" Xiao Xuanyu almost felt that he could not communicate with the queen mother. The previous empress dowager also displeased the former emperor, and he didn't want to face the same situation now.

The Empress Dowager's face was cold. She really didn't know what she had done wrong. Was it wrong to help her son deal with the trouble?

"Your majesty, you are too soft-hearted. What you really complain about is that Aijia killed King Suqing?" The queen mother said, "He said on the surface that he surrendered, but as soon as he left the palace, he went to the old department. He is clearly deceiving the emperor. Your majesty You still believe his words, you have always been too easy to trust people, too much of a woman's benevolence!"
