Chapter 278 45．Xiao Wu Wenfeng deceived the young master
Less than a month has passed since Shen Yunfei went to the capital to worship the sky and ascended the throne of the water god.And today, another ancient bloodline is about to ascend to the altar.

Shen Yunfei's title of the youngest city lord had only been retained for less than a month before being replaced by someone else.

Amidst the sound of drums, Ji Xiaolan, who was wearing a purple gold dragon robe, stepped up the stairs carved with the sea of ​​coiling dragons and clouds step by step, and stepped into the Xuanyuan Altar that everyone looked up to.

Just half a month ago, there was a sudden news from Huangdi City that the crown prince Ji Xiaobai was killed by Niao Wu.And Emperor Xuanyuan, who was startled by the ominous cry, had a surge of energy and blood for a moment, and followed Long Yu back to heaven.

A country cannot be without a master for a day, not to mention the autumn of troubled times, the overall situation of China needs someone to preside over it.Therefore, under the impetus of the queen and the national teacher Di Rui, the second prince Ji Xiaolan ascended the throne of the emperor without any dispute.

It has been a while since the news reached Beijing.However, this incident did not cause much disturbance here, because everything had been expected long after that incident happened.

Ji Xiaobai sat on the attic of the Water God Palace, flipping through the news that had just been sent, with a look of disappointment or relief on his face.Only thinking of her father's passing away caused a trace of sadness to flash in her eyes.

The queen mother finally took that step and let the emperor's younger brother ascend the throne.

***********************************
Twenty years ago, a baby girl was born in the Xuanyuan Harem, but her birth did not add a little joy to the Harem, but cast a shadow over it.

In order to stabilize her position, the queen, with the help of the national teacher, buried a precious orb of the most rigid and yang in the body of the baby girl, making it appear male. At this point, the Xuanyuan royal family has one more The prince, and he is Ji Xiaobai.

With the crown prince, the queen's position was finally stabilized, and Ji Xiaobai became a well-deserved crown prince amidst the praise of everyone.

However, there are always hidden dangers in all of this.Although no one could see through Ji Xiaobai's true identity, she was still a daughter and could not carry on the Xuanyuan royal family's lineage.

And this hidden danger was solved with the birth of the second prince Ji Xiaolan.

From the day the emperor was born, Xiaobai knew that her position would be replaced one day, but she never knew what method the queen mother would use to depose herself.

She was unwilling to face the battles in the court again and again, so she chose to exile herself, hoping that in a certain accident, she would die, so that her younger brother Xiaolan could sit on the crown prince's position justifiably. .

And all of this didn't seem to go as she wished, and her meritorious service time and time again increased her prestige in the court.Some ministers firmly believe that the crown prince can rule the world, no matter how the national teacher and the empress stir up trouble, they have never been able to shake her position.

Ji Xiaobai knew that the queen mother might have thought about it more than once, and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.Because once her identity is exposed, the queen will immediately become a sinner through the ages.

Now, these problems no longer exist.

Affected by Huo Shenxiang, the drunken Ji Xiaobai turned back into a female body, and had a bond with Shen Yunfei.Yuan Yin has been broken, even with the orb in her body, she can no longer turn into a man.

Since she can no longer transform back into a man, there is no way for her to be the crown prince.In order to avoid the scandal from being exposed, the queen announced the death of the prince almost immediately, and even took the opportunity to directly put the second prince on the throne.For the entire Xuanyuan royal family, the prince no longer exists, and Ji Xiaobai will never have the chance to return to the palace.

***************************************
Outside the door, there were two slight knocks on the door, Ji Xiaobai turned her head, but saw Huangfuhua standing there, as if hesitating whether to come in.

"Brother, what are you doing standing there, come in quickly." Ji Xiaobai smiled slightly, moved away from the window, turned around, walked to the table, and poured out a cup of tea.

Seeing Ji Xiaobai who had changed back into women's clothes, Huangfuhua didn't know how to deal with it.

The two originally grew up together and had been brothers for nearly 20 years, but in the blink of an eye, the brother who shared life and death suddenly turned into a woman. This change made Huangfu Hua feel a little hard to accept for a while.

"What?" Seeing Huangfu Hua's refusal to enter the door for a long time, Ji Xiaobai smiled and said, "Could it be that, since I became a woman, Senior Brother dare not even enter my room?"

Huangfuhua blushed, stepped across the threshold with his head down, walked around to the other side of the table, and sat down cautiously.He fiddled with the teacup Xiaobai handed over with both hands, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Ji Xiaobai sighed faintly, wiped the edge of the table with his hand, and sighed softly: "I have never thought that being a man is better than being a woman. The only thing I miss is having you and...Second brother, two life and death brothers... Now, I don't feel any regret about losing the name of the prince. Even if I can never return to the palace, it doesn't make me sad. It's just that I will lose such a good man from now on. Brother, it is really..."

"How could it be!" Huangfu Hua finally spoke, but his face became more and more red.

"No matter what you become, I will always be your senior brother, your big brother."

Ji Xiaobai lowered his head and smiled, and said, "With your words, I am content. Brother, is there anything you want to say to me when you come today?"

Huangfuhua coughed dryly, groaned for a long time, rubbed his hands on his knees vigorously, desperately looking for words.However, Ji Xiaobai could see some clues from the eyes he kept glancing outside the door.

"Who's outside? It's..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Yunfei appeared by the door with a face full of shame.

After 20 years of living as a man dressed as a man, Ji Xiaobai suddenly regained her daughter's body, which made Ji Xiaobai somewhat uncomfortable.But what made her feel most uncomfortable was probably the change in her relationship with Shen Yunfei.

Originally, Xiaobai had a good impression of Shen Yunfei, otherwise, it would not have hit it off.However, since she has always been very clear that her destiny cannot be controlled by herself, she has never had any unreasonable thoughts.

However, due to the effect of the magical fragrance in the Yuhehua brew, this kind of goodwill that had nothing to do with the relationship between a man and a woman has directly transformed into a kind of attachment and admiration.Especially in the past few days, whenever she fell asleep at night, Ji Xiaobai could always recall everything that happened in the small building in the middle of the lake that day, which made it impossible for her to calm down.

At this time, Shen Yunfei also felt unable to face Ji Xiaobai.A good brother, unexpectedly in the end... It's hard to describe in words.

However, no matter how unable to face it, he must face this fact.Otherwise, how will Ji Xiaobai show his face to the world in the future.

"Are you... are you okay?" The two faced each other in a daze for a long time, and Shen Yunfei managed to hold back such a sentence.

"Which aspect are you referring to?" Ji Xiaobai asked with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing the smile on Ji Xiaobai's face, there didn't seem to be any embarrassment. For the first time, Shen Yunfei, who was good at observing facial expressions, realized that he seemed a little unable to see through the woman in front of him.

In fact, Ji Xiaobai was willing to hold on so hard, but she knew in her heart that if she didn't hold on, she might never have the courage to face it again.

"You're fine... just fine." Shen Yunfei nodded, hooked his neck and said, "Yingyue is already preparing for the wedding, and when things here are over, then..."

"Would you just marry me?" Ji Xiaobai took it directly and shook his head faintly: "I know your difficulties now, and I didn't ask you to give me any title right away. I know you still have Princess Yumeng, There are also Ruxia and sister Yingyue, even if they want to get married, I should always be behind them."

Shen Yunfei opened his mouth and was about to speak when Ji Xiaobai waved his hand and continued, "What's more, my father just passed away, so I'm really not in the mood. As long as you have this heart, everything else Let's not talk about it for now."

What Ji Xiaobai said moved Shen Yunfei deeply.It's not that he doesn't want to take this responsibility, it's just that it's a little difficult to accept for a while.

"Don't talk about these troublesome things!" Seeing that the two seemed a little embarrassed, Huangfuhua finally found his position, took out a jug and a few cups from his arms, and said loudly: "No matter what happens after Xiaobai Brothers or younger siblings, the relationship between the three of us will never change, don’t you think so?”

Ji Xiaobai and Shen Yunfei turned their heads at the same time to look at Huangfuhua, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Yes, no matter what our relationship will become in the future, the relationship between the three of us will never change."

The embarrassment was finally over, and the three of them had a good time drinking and chatting, and put all the mundane things behind them.

But at this moment, a long-planned conspiracy was brewing unknowingly. The flames of war that had never been extinguished suddenly spread across the entire China with the momentum of a prairie fire. .

The first to bear the brunt was Zhuolu County, where the Yellow Emperor City was located. At the same time, Gusu and Fengxiang were attacked by the Wu army almost at the same time.

Since the new emperor boarded the plane, the situation in Huangdi City was already unstable.Almost within a few days, the imperial capital had fallen.

And Fengxiang and Gusu could barely support them.

On the other hand, Shangjing County, because of the previous campaign, the surrounding forces have already been eliminated. At this time, the flames of war ignited, but it did not suffer much impact.

Upon receiving the news, King Yan had led his army back to Gusu, leaving only the princess in Shangjing.And the armies of the various ministries also started to move at this time.

A doomsday battle quietly kicked off just as Shen Yunfei and the three of them were drinking and chatting happily.
