Chapter 224 Compromise
Zhou Shuxuan was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

Lu Guangbai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "My condolences. We haven't told anyone yet, we're waiting for you to pass."

After all, the father passed away, and the child must feel a little sad in his heart.

Zhou Shuxuan felt a little sorrow in his heart, but not too much.Step by step to the present, he has no right to mourn for a long time, and it doesn't matter if he is not filial.

He was just upset, as if things were crowded together.

Zhou Shuxuan wanted to rush to the Longde Hall immediately, and left with a word, "I really can't get away now, so I'll leave her there."

He must be the serious master of this world, but it's a pity that Miao Li can't stand by his side, it's a great pity in life.

Zhou Shuxuan entered the door and went to the emperor's side, took a look and pretended to find it himself, lay down on the bed and cried bitterly, and announced the news to the public.

The emperor passed away, and the palace was decorated for the new year. Now all the red lanterns have been replaced with white ones.

Some things have been prepared early, and now I am not in a hurry, and I am doing things step by step.

The news spread quickly, the eldest princess Qi Wang and the younger princes all had to enter the palace to pay homage, all civil and military officials also changed into mourning clothes and went to the coffin to see the monarch for the last time.The eldest princess came in a little more, and came quickly, so it can be said that she was the first to arrive at the funeral.

After the eldest princess kowtowed, she didn't feel much grief in her heart, she calmly asked Zhou Shuxuan, "Why is it so sudden?"

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at the coffin and said, "It's not too sudden. The eunuch has already come to report, saying that I can't leave for a while about these two days. I just didn't tell you."

"It's good to leave, it's a matter of mind."

Zhou Shuxuan sighed again, and said, "I can only think this way."

After the emperor passed away, he succeeded to the throne logically, and after the emperor's funeral, there was the enthronement ceremony.A lot of things rushed towards him, he really wanted to rest for a while before talking about anything else.

The eldest princess looked at him sleepily, and asked, "Why do you look so sluggish? Are you too sad?"

He probably didn't have such deep feelings for the first emperor.The eldest princess didn't know about these things that happened recently, and Zhou Shuxuan didn't explain clearly when he sent people to pick up Meng Runlin's family, so I don't know why he was upset.

Just as Zhou Shuxuan was about to speak, King Qi rushed in from the outside, without kowtowing first, he went directly to Zhou Shuxuan, "Third... Your Majesty, go and have a look, Prime Minister Zuo has gone crazy, and he is just outside the gate of Wenhua. "

After finishing speaking, King Qi went to kowtow in front of the late emperor, the late emperor had raised him anyway, no matter how good or bad, kowtow is the right thing to do.

After kowtowing, King Qi stood up and explained the details of the matter to Zhou Shu.

"I came over from the Wenhua Gate and saw Prime Minister Zuo weeping and howling holding up the imperial decree of the late emperor. The passing ministers also stopped to watch and pointed at it. I glanced at it and saw that it said What kind of princess and queen, and what kind of witch."

Zuo Xiang is really powerful, and when he was asked to return to the mansion, he actually ran to the Wenhua Gate, and lost all his virtues for several lifetimes.The ministers passing by should have read all the imperial edicts of the first emperor, and it is too late now.We all know the existence of the imperial decree, and it is too late to remedy it.

After listening to the eldest princess, she sighed: "This old man Xu is really good, I can't see him. I told you that a dog will jump over the wall when he is in a hurry. You don't believe it. What should we do now?"

In front of all civil and military officials, he can't just think about it.The bones of the first emperor are not cold, if he said that when people in the world did not obey the imperial edict, the scholars in the world would definitely criticize him.

Zhou Shuxuan calmly called Gao Fu over, "Go to Yichun Palace, let someone clean it up and invite the queen out."

The word "Queen" almost popped out between the teeth, and I really didn't want to associate the word with Xu Meitang, but it would not be so soothing now.

Zhou Shuxuan called two more eunuchs over, and still calmly ordered, "First Emperor Bintian, Prime Minister Zuo was too sad to do crazy things. It is estimated that phlegm is intoxicating, let the two eunuchs go and show him."

Forcing him to compromise is only a temporary compromise.When he finished his work, everyone's eyes turned away. He was slowly cleaning up the father and daughter.

After the arrangements were made, things calmed down a little bit.

Zhou Shu Xuanshou did not leave before the coffin, pretending to be distraught.As the sky gradually darkened, everyone saw that he was almost done, so they advised Xin Jun not to be overly sad, take care of his dragon body, and advised him to go back and rest.

The incident happened too suddenly, he still has to live in the East Palace tonight, and then he can move to the palace later.

He was still the prince when he went out, but now he is the emperor.The rest of the palace was in a mess, and the Ciqing Palace seemed to be a paradise without much disturbance, and it was similar to when he went out.

Back in the apse, only Lu Guangbai and Meng Runlin were standing there, and the others seemed to have rested.

When Lu Guangbai saw him coming in, he quickly stood up and kowtowed, "Cao Min sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

People are polite to him, and he has to clarify his identity.And at this special moment, if you don't kowtow to the new king, you may be considered treasonous.

Zhou Shuxuan stretched out his hand to hold him up, and said, "You don't need to be so polite, I'll come back and have a look. How is he doing now?"

"Master said she was still reluctant, but now her complexion has recovered a lot, if you are really worried, you can go and see for yourself."

When he heard that Zhou Shuxuan could watch, Meng Runlin raised his head and gave Lu Guangbai a look, feeling that he was deliberately keeping himself away from Miaoli.

Zhou Shuxuan didn't notice these small details, and walked quickly to the bed.Seeing that Miaoli is really better than before, there is more blood on her lips, it is no longer abnormal black and blue, it seems to be getting better slowly.This is the only good news these days.

Now her body is covered with silver needles, Zhou Shuxuan has nowhere to touch her, so he can only stand by the bed and watch quietly.

There are thousands of words in my heart, I don't know how to speak.The princess he married was not her, nor was the crown princess.Even if she is the emperor now, she cannot be the queen now.Not only did he feel wronged by her, but he also felt a little pity.

What kind of poison should you eat well, otherwise things may have a turning point now.

When she wakes up and knows his difficulties, she should understand him.Now it's just a tactic to delay the attack, his queen can only be her.

Feeling sad after watching too much, Zhou Shuxuan put down the curtain and exited silently.

Lu Guangbai saw all this and knew that he had his own difficulties.After getting to know each other once, I can only do my best to solve his problems.He stepped forward and said, "You're under the watchful eye of everyone, and you can't make a single mistake. You'd better go and rest, as long as we're here to guard you."

Zhou Shuxuan cupped his hands and wanted to say thank you, but felt that it was too thin, and he appreciated it.

Now he is exhausted to the extreme, and he has to rest if he doesn't want to rest.

After they left, only Lu Guangbai and Meng Runlin were left in the room.Meng Runlin didn't give Zhou Shuxuan a good face from the beginning to the end, and kept a straight face all the time.Lu Guangbai really couldn't stand it anymore, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea by his hand, and asked with a smile on his face, "Are you doing this to everyone, or to him alone?"

Meng Runlin didn't have a good expression on him either, and said with a straight face, "It has nothing to do with you!"

"It's really nothing to do with me. I'm nosy today. But if your sister is awake now, she will still take care of you."

"But my sister is not awake now, and she is about to be killed by him. They are all like this, and hate our family for not dying!"

There seemed to be something unusual in the words, and Lu Guangbai suddenly thought of Zhou Shuxuan's other reason for his sentence.He has known Miaoli for so long, and apart from knowing her name, he has never inquired about her past, and he doesn't know the reason for Zhou Shuxuan's statement.

Even if he doesn't know the past, he can still talk.Lu Guangbai said solemnly: "I think you may have a problem with your eyes. Do you need me to cure it for you? It's as if you can't see what he did. Not only everything he did to your sister, but also to you. You Treat him with an attitude, whether he is a prince or an emperor, he is not angry, do you know why?"

Meng Runlin bowed his head and remained silent.

Lu Guangbai went on to say: "It's all because of his love for your sister that he tolerates you so much. In fact, the reverse is also the same. If you make him very unhappy, he will eventually involve your sister. What you do now will be borne by your sister in the end."

"She doesn't need to bear it! My sister doesn't need to follow him without a name or a role!"

Everyone didn't think it was necessary, but she was willing, and no one could stop her feelings.Lu Guangbai smiled again and said: "This is your idea, your sister may not think so. I have never heard her mention you. You must have contacted suddenly. Do you know her now?"

If Miaoli had had this brother long ago, she would not have left the city alone at that time, nor would she have lived on Zhaoyun Mountain for so long without consideration, everything was guessed by Lu Guangbai.

Meng Runlin seemed to have listened to what he said, and he didn't talk back or refute, just bowed his head and meditated alone.

Zhou Shuxuan slept very deeply this time, he really hadn't rested for a long time, if it wasn't for the eunuch calling, he might still be able to sleep for a while.

He is still a little sleepy now, but he also has to get up. The most he has done in the past few days is to have to.Tomorrow is the new year, and I hope that in the new year, he will not have so much to do.

Going out of Ciqing Palace soon, Zhou Shuxuan wanted to take a look at Miaoli, but was persuaded by Gao Fu. "Your Majesty, it's really too late. I'll have time to watch it later. It's almost time. I have to kowtow in front of the late emperor's spirit first, otherwise people will say that the emperor doesn't care about the late emperor if they see it."

Face and other things need to be maintained, Zhou Shuxuan took back his steps and walked towards Longde Hall.
