After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"I'll be fine. After all, Emperor Xiao wants to use me to threaten you." Chu Huanyan said in a relaxed tone.

"Yan Yan, you know very well that even if we guessed what Emperor Xiao wanted to do from the beginning, we were prepared. But even if everything goes as we expected, once an assassin appears at the Queen's Ceremony and the scene is chaotic, you If you are not by my side, but controlled by Emperor Xiao, I may not be able to protect you in time."

He admitted that what Yan Yan said did make sense, and even admitted that at this time, Yan Yan was in Emperor Xiao's hands, which made him more able to stabilize the opponent. However, he would never take risks with his appearance.

Chu Huanyan looked at the person in front of her seriously, "Xiao Jinzhi, the truth of that year not only involves the late emperor and Concubine Mei, but also my parents. I have never been helping you uncover the truth of that year. This is also the case. Things I want to do.”

"Yanyan, I..."

"I know you are worried about me and don't want me to take risks, but I think this risk is worth it. This is the choice I want to make at this moment."

Chu Huanyan was extremely firm from her eyes to her tone, so firm that Xiao Jinzhi felt that no matter how he tried to persuade the person in front of him, she would not listen to him at this moment.

"But what should I do if something happens to you?"

"We have been investigating for so long and have stumbled all the way to this point. It is always a bit risky. As for what happened... If we fail to convict Xiao Emperor this time and let him escape smoothly, do you think he will let go in the future? Can you pass us? By that time, our situation will only become more difficult and dangerous."

She had already thought clearly that from the moment Emperor Xiao discovered Jiang Zhou's identity, everything turned to the light, and it was impossible to reveal what happened back then with complete certainty.

She is afraid of danger and wants to live a good life, but some risks are worth it.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan quietly, knowing that the other party had already made a decision.

After a long time, Xiao Jinzhi finally nodded.

"Okay, then you stay in the palace for the time being. Next, I will ask Shen Chi to prepare some medicine, and then give it to you quietly for self-protection. But Yan Yan, you must also promise me that if you find that something is wrong, You must put your own safety first.”

He wanted to uncover the truth of that year, he wanted to avenge his father and mother, and he also wanted to overthrow Emperor Xiao, but all of these combined were not as important as Yan Yan's safety.

"Don't worry, I'll remember it." Chu Huanyan responded with a smile.

In order to avoid being discovered by the guards outside, Xiao Jinzhi did not stay long and quickly left the palace.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Jinzhi brought Shen Chi's medicine and met Chu Huanyan again.

In the next few days, the palace was very busy, and everyone was preparing for the ceremony.

Xiao Jinzhi mobilized all his informants, while staring at Zhaoxia Palace to confirm Chu Huanyan's safety, while carefully investigating all Xiao Emperor's arrangements.

Finally, the day before the grand ceremony, news came back that Emperor Xiao had arranged for nearly a hundred assassins and hidden guards to quietly lurk around the Fengtian Hall where the ceremony was held.

As for the Royal Forest Guards arranged to protect the surroundings, there were even fewer than in ordinary festivals on weekdays, only about twenty people.

"It seems that the emperor is really cruel this time." Qin Li looked at the news on the paper, "Nearly a hundred assassins attacked twenty imperial guards. With such a scene in the palace, the emperor is not afraid of arousing suspicion."

"No matter the suspicion, as long as there is no evidence, who can say that he arranged all this. What's more, killing Gu in front of all civil and military officials can have a sufficient deterrent effect. Even if someone questions, I'm afraid they won't dare. Open your mouth." Xiao Jinzhi's tone was clear.

Emperor Xiao has not even sent an assassin over in the past few days. In addition to lack of confidence, it is probably also because he has made up his mind to die in public.

No matter how many courtiers now believe in the truth they uncovered, as long as they die, how many people will be left to insist on finding out the truth back then due to panic and fear.

And as long as most of the courtiers are silenced, even those who are still obsessed with the truth can be found guilty and killed. As for Liu Changhan and the others, they could die directly with him at the hands of assassins.

"Your Highness, although we have been secretly deploying people in the past few days, the palace is very tight, and only thirty people can actually sneak in successfully. Most of them pretended to be palace maids and eunuchs, and a few replaced the imperial guards. But if we really fight, Come on, I'm worried that it's still not enough to ensure safety."

After all, it was a grand ceremony for the Queen, and Emperor Xiao had specifically explained that it was really not easy to arrange people.

Among these thirty people, there are still many people who were already buried in the palace in the past.

Looking at the worried Qin Li, Xiao Jinzhi didn't say anything, just looked calmly and said slowly: "That's enough."

The temperature has suddenly risen a lot in the past few days, and the night breeze has brought a bit of heat.

After Qin Li reported everything, he left Xiao Jinzhi's room.

The latter stood by the window, feeling the night wind blowing on his face. He stood tall, like a sharp sword, glowing coldly in the dark night, waiting to pierce the darkness.

The next day, the canonization ceremony took place.

Early in the morning, Concubine Xue was awakened by the palace servants. She dressed up according to the rules and put on her phoenix hairpin and phoenix robe. When the time came, she got on the chariot and started all the way from Zhaoxia Palace to Fengtian Palace.

And Chu Huanyan was also taken by her side.

Looking at the majestic Concubine Xue, who was wearing a phoenix robe on the chariot, Chu Huanyan suddenly spoke.

"Do you still remember the first time you met me?"

Concubine Xue glanced sideways at Chu Huanyan, then quickly looked away and shook her head lightly.

"I don't remember. I want to forget all the things I did before."

"How can you forget some things if you want to?" Chu Huanyan smiled, "It seems that if he had a choice, maybe the emperor would also choose to forget his past of killing the king and killing his brother."

Qiu Shuang glanced at her mother-in-law nervously, then frowned and said to Chu Huanyan: "Miss Chu, be careful what you say!"

"It doesn't matter, let her say it." Concubine Xue fiddled with the armor on her hand, "After all, after today, I should never hear such words again."

Chu Huanyan's eyes were deep, but she didn't speak again. She just continued to follow the team all the way to Fengtian Hall.

Outside Fengtian Hall, all matters have been prepared, and civil and military officials are also lined up on both sides.

As the prince, Xiao Jinzhi stood in front of everyone.

Emperor Xiao was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, standing on the high platform, looking at Concubine Xue coming from a distance, but he was looking at Xiao Jinzhi from the corner of his eye.

As Concubine Xue walked onto the high platform step by step, Chu Huanyan was also taken to one side, controlled and guarded by guards dressed as eunuchs.

On the high platform, Xiao Jinzhi held Concubine Xue's hand tightly.

The Ministry of Rites read out the imperial edict of canonization, and every word was filled with words of supreme praise.

After the imperial edict was read out, the queen's phoenix seal and treasures were handed over, and all the civil and military officials knelt down to salute.

"My congratulations to the father, the emperor, and congratulations to the queen." Xiao Jinzhi raised his head and looked at Emperor Xiao and Concubine Xue, and spoke loudly.

There was ruthlessness in Xiao Di's eyes, but his face remained calm. His eyes fell on Xiao Jinzhi and he spoke neither lightly nor seriously.

"Prince, I can give you another chance."
