Chapter 192 Conspiracy to Revolt
"Second brother and third brother both told you that the Xuanyuan family has been loyal to the imperial court for generations and has never had the intention of rebelling against them. Why didn't you listen?!"

"Why?"

With difficulty, he raised the head filled with Xiang, looked at Xuanyuanruo viciously and said, but the words were for the emperor, "When Grandpa and Taizu fought south and north, how many injuries did Grandpa suffer? Taizu He has been on the battlefield a few more times, why can he be the emperor? And our Xuanyuan family can be suppressed generals and soldiers, this is not fair at all!"

Before the establishment of the dynasty, the world was divided and the people were in dire straits.

As an important minister of the former dynasty, Taizu rose up and led the personal guards to capture the capital and dissipate all his family wealth, just to form an army capable of conscripting and fighting.

And the leader of this army is Xuanyuan Ruo's grandfather.

"Ruo'er, I know you really like this dog emperor, but the dog emperor doesn't have the ability to govern the world at all, he is not worthy at all!"

"you……!!!"

"You are right, I am not worthy to be emperor."

The emperor dragged the distraught Xuanyuan Ruo to his side, and calmly looked at Xuanyuanhao who was uttering wild words, "It's not for my own selfishness, and I won't grab the throne, my eighth brother is more like an emperor than me."

The majestic king of a country, the eldest son born to the queen mother, can actually admit that he has selfish intentions, which is already considered a very difficult step.

But no matter what, for the sake of the world, one must tell the truth.

"I have already drawn up the edict, and I am going to give up the throne to my eighth brother!"

"emperor!"

"Ruo'er," the emperor turned around slowly, put his hands on the thin shoulders, and continued righteously, "The reason why I made this decision is not just for you, but more for the sake of conscience. "

When saying the last two words, deliberately increase the volume.

That face was very similar to the Eighth Prince's, and the expression on his face was a little less regal, but a little more of the spirit that a man should have.

"What I yearn for more is freedom, what the Eighth Emperor wants is for the common people in the world."

I still remember what the Empress Dowager said on the first day before her ascension to the throne, those words were like brand marks, engraved in my mind forever, lingering.

"Emperor, you have to put all the people in the water and fire with a momentary ability. This is not what a good emperor should do."

Sitting on the soft couch, the queen mother spoke word by word, the tea in the teacup in her hand was already cold, "When you ascend the throne tomorrow, Aijia will not go, Aijia's body is not good. Well, it’s not easy to appear on that occasion.”

Putting these words aside, without waiting for the emperor to say anything, he hooked his fingers at Aunt Si Yao.

"Send the emperor out, prepare well, don't embarrass the royal family."

"Mother, son..."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is tired, please go out with your servants."

Si Yao walked up to the emperor respectfully, and made a gesture of invitation at the door, "The ancestor prepared some small gifts and put them in the yard. When you leave, the eunuch beside you can take them back with you."

She is the most trusted maid of honor by the Empress Dowager's side. Even if she is an emperor, she has to have some respect for Si Yao. This is a rule, a rule that must be followed.

"Ok."

The emperor nodded desolately, and left the empress dowager's bedroom weakly.

When I walked into the yard, I saw a lilac flower planted in a flower pot. The stamens were already budding, and when the season came, it would bloom.

"This is……?"

"The congratulatory gift that the ancestor personally prepared for you, the emperor, is very innovative."

Si Yao picked up the flower pot on the table and handed it to the eunuch in charge behind the emperor with both hands, "Eunuch Yao, you have to hold this flower well, even if you spill a grain of soil, it's right." The disrespect of the ancestors."

"Aunt Si Yao reminded me that the servant will be more careful."

Eunuchs are naturally good at flattering, and this one is even better in person.

It was not easy to follow the emperor when he was three or four years old, starting as a eunuch who wrote a pen, and climbing all the way to where he is today.

"Serve the emperor well, tomorrow, this flower will bloom."

"tomorrow?"

The emperor pinched his fingers and calculated that lilacs would only bloom in spring, but now that autumn is about to begin, the weather is getting cooler every day, how could it be in...

"My lord, it's almost time, you should hurry back."

"Oh."

Being interrupted, he nodded thoughtfully.

From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the closed door, sighed again, and then led everyone away, leaving only a bright yellow figure behind, which looked thin.

"Old ancestor, what does it mean for you to send such a bouquet of flowers?"

"The flowers bloom, which proves that he is a virtuous monarch. If the flowers don't bloom, it's not true."

The Empress Dowager, who had already moved to the couch and lay down, turned her body to the inside, with her back to Si Yao, "Send someone to the emperor's bedroom to watch and see if the potted flower will bloom."

"Yes."

Si Yao put down the gauze curtain, stooped, and tiptoed out of the room.

"Is that flower blooming?"

Xuanyuan Ruo was really too curious, so he blurted out the question.

"Miss Xuanyuan, this is just an ordinary pot of lilacs. How could it be in full bloom when it's not in season?"

The masked woman came forward from behind the emperor, and took out a flower-shaped hairpin from her waist. The style was simple, but it exuded a strong fragrance of flowers.

It is obviously made of gold, how can it have a fragrance?

"The emperor made it for you, made it by himself, please accept Miss Xuanyuan."

The hairpin was stuffed into Xuanyuan Ruo's hand, and the woman's eyes were full of reluctance, but she still gave it away with determination.

"The lilacs didn't bloom that day, and the queen mother no longer saw the emperor."

Putting these words aside, the woman bowed sideways and returned to the emperor without saying a word.

Xuanyuan Ruo lowered his eyes to look at the pearl hairpin in his hand, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he finally figured out what the Empress Dowager said, and he also knew why the potted flower didn't bloom.

"It's blindfolding!"

There are many capable people and strange people around the Eighth Prince, and if he wants to play such a trick, it is simply easy to catch.

however……

"Why doesn't the emperor go to find his eighth younger brother? Aren't you two brothers always on good terms?"

The prince's mother died of dystocia on the day she gave birth to him. She grew up beside the empress dowager. Although there is a difference in age from the emperor, the four words "brother, friend, brother respect" are really displayed by them. Sincerely.

And the queen mother, who was still a queen at that time, was also very proud of having such well-behaved two sons, and she often praised them in the harem.

But this peaceful scene was completely shattered on the eve of the establishment of the crown prince.

"Mother, I am your own son, why do you favor the eighth brother everywhere?!"
