The General Is As Urgent As Law

Xue Ziqin went straight to the palace gate. With the status of a general, it is not easy to enter the palace. Although he did not receive a summons, he was still let in.Now that the emperor is unconscious and people in the palace are in a panic, Xue Ziqin walked all the way to the Jiangzhen Terrace, but he felt that there seemed to be many more people entering and exiting from the Jiangzhen Terrace.He thought about it again, and felt that it should be taken for granted—the wedding of the Ninth Prince was being arranged in full swing, and the natural palace was busy with people, which seemed crowded.

Many palace people saluted Xue Ziqin, but Xue Ziqin didn't seem to notice, just walked quickly, and went straight into the Jiangzhen Terrace.

"See General Xue." The gate of the main hall of Jiangzhen Terrace was closed, only Xiao Liuzi stood outside and guarded.He saw Xue Ziqin approaching quickly from a distance, and immediately went up to meet him and asked, "Why is General Xue here?"

"Get out of the way." Xue Ziqin said coldly, taking a step sideways, his footsteps never stopped for a moment, and he was quite aggressive.

Little Six took two steps back, stood in front of him again and said, "General Xue, Your Highness is resting, why don't you go and inform the general first?"

"Get out." Xue Ziqin said, raising his hand and pushing on Xiao Liuzi.

He didn't intend to hurt anyone, this palm was only [-]% forceful, but it also pushed Xiao Liuzi to the ground.

Xue Ziqin pushed open the door of the hall, the hall was brightly lit, with many candles lit, but the doors and windows were closed tightly.Cen Lixuan was sitting alone in front of the table, leaning casually on the table, reading an unknown book.He often saw Cen Lixuan sitting like this, and he seemed to like this relaxed posture very much.

But now, after Xue Ziqin entered the palace, it seemed that he had returned to the time when Cen Lizhen was still in the barracks more than half a year ago.

At that time, the young man was also so peaceful, like a painting, one couldn't bear to disturb him.

Little Six stood up from the ground, hurried forward and wanted to stop Xue Ziqin: "General Xue..." "Go out, I have something to discuss with General Xue." Cen Lixuan said softly without raising his head.

Little Six had no choice but to back out and close the door.

It turned out to be menacing, seeing Cen Lixuan's sluggish appearance, he was a little unable to move forward, and didn't know how to get in front of the young man.

"Isn't General Xue looking for me? Why didn't you speak up?" Cen Lixuan spoke first.

This question dispelled all the past in Xue Ziqin's mind, and he strode forward without intending to sit down at the table, walked straight to Cen Lizhen, grabbed his hand holding the book: "You know what I want to ask .”

In the eyes of the emperor, Cen Lixuan was the youngest son, kind and cowardly.

In Qin Shu's eyes, Cen Lizhen is a son, gentle and refined.

In Xue Ziqin's eyes, Cen Lizhen is like a fox, who has a face to respond when needed, showing weakness when he should, and being tough when he should be tough.But looking at it from the outside, he is a cunning fox with such a face that he can confuse everyone.

"General Xue was rude." Cen Lixuan said without struggling.Xue Ziqin pulled his hand up, and the book in his hand fell to the ground.He looked up at Xue Ziqin's face, but he didn't intend to get up.

Xue Ziqin was unwilling to let go, and with a force in his hand, he forcibly pulled Cen Lizhen up from the ground.But it didn't end there, after Cen Lixuan got up, before he could say a word, Xue Ziqin had already hugged him tightly into his arms.

Somewhere the wind leaked from the crack of the window, and a coolness came from behind him.He remembered that in the general's tent at that time, Xue Ziqin ordered someone to lift the bed to the front of the curtain, and let him watch the snow scene outside.At that time, there was always a fire in the general's tent, and even in the harsh winter, it looked warm. The moment the curtain was opened again, it was just like this time, his body was cold, but his heart was warm.

"Why did you marry Qin Mu's daughter?"

"It was a marriage bestowed by the emperor."

"It was you who blatantly expressed your love."

"Yes."

"why?"

"Because Qin Mu can help me."

Xue Ziqin's steel-like arms were wrapped around two more points, which made Cen Liyan feel pain.

"I'll help you, isn't that enough?"

"not enough."

"Cen Lixuan, is the throne so important?"

"Is life important?"

"If you don't become the emperor, I can protect you for the rest of your life."

"you can not."

"Don't question my abilities."

"General Xue, as the saying goes, the emperor must die; do you think they will let me go when they become emperor?"

Cen Li's voice was muffled, probably because his mouth and nose were firmly pressed against Xue Ziqin's chest.Similarly, he could also hear the strong heartbeat under the chest.

"The emperor and me, you choose one." Xue Ziqin said.

"The throne."

"No hesitation?"

"No hesitation."

Xue Ziqin finally let go of his hand a little bit, Cen Lixuan raised his head, and the other party was also looking at him, there was only unfathomable black in his eyes, and he couldn't see himself in it.

"Aren't you afraid of me leaving?"

"You won't." Cen Lixuan looked at him and said.

"why?"

"Because of this..." Cen Lixuan said, putting his hand on Xue Ziqin's chest and continuing.

And said, "There is me."

Xue Ziqin didn't speak, just listened to the cold voice and continued: "And only me."

The two looked at each other for a long time, Xue Ziqin finally let go of him, stepped back a few steps and said, "Now there are no more."

"Is it?"

Xue Ziqin bowed to Cen Lijun solemnly and said: "I would like to congratulate His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince on his wedding. Now that I have made it clear, I will take my leave first."

"General, don't lie to yourself."

After Cen Lixuan finished speaking, Xue Ziqin didn't answer. Just like when he came, he strode to the door, opened it and went out without turning back or hesitating.

"Let's go, general." Cen Liyan watched his back completely disappear, and said to himself with a wry smile.

Three days later.

Naturally, royal weddings should be grand and luxurious, but due to the current situation of the emperor, they had to be kept simple within the regulations.Qin Shu moved into the Jiangzhen Terrace, and almost all civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty arrived at the wedding banquet.They made it clear that it was because of the marriage of the Ninth Prince, but in fact, even though the Empress told them to keep silent, the news that the Emperor was seriously ill still spread to everyone's ears.

"Congratulations Ninth Brother, I'm so happy to have a beautiful woman." Cen Lijin congratulated with a smile.Cen Lijiang was standing next to him. After learning the news that the emperor was unconscious, he finally breathed a sigh of relief - at least the case will not be made public for a while, let alone do anything to him.Hearing what Cen Lijin said, he also hurriedly approached him and said, "I always thought that my ninth brother was a manly man, but I never thought that today I could embrace a beautiful woman."

"Thank you two imperial brothers." Cen Lixuan said with a faint smile as if he didn't hear the second half of the sentence.

Many people present had the same idea as Cen Lijiang, but it was inconvenient to say it because of their status.Ever since the emperor became seriously ill, Cen Lixuan had been serving in Anshang Hall for a long time, and this marriage was bestowed by the emperor himself before he fell into a coma.

Coupled with the rumors that he is a good man, driven by today's big wedding, it is self-defeating, and the ministers can't help but feel a little strange in their hearts - from this point of view, even though he is the youngest son, if the emperor favors him, it is not that he has not inherited the great power possible.

Qin Mu's complexion was not very good all the time, but it was inevitable that the important ministers in the court would come to toast and say a few words of greeting. He could only reluctantly perform the courtesy, but looked at the smiling Cen Liyu from time to time.

If it wasn't for the emperor's decree, and Qin Shu clamoring to marry Cen Lixuan, he really didn't want to agree.

Today all the concubines and courtiers came here to congratulate, only Concubine Jin was not there.Cen Lixuan mentioned this matter to the empress, but the empress was unwilling to agree to anything on the grounds that Concubine Jin was still grounded and could not leave Lianshuang Palace without the emperor's will.

The emperor was critically ill, and had never established a crown prince, and hadn't even had time to arrange for a certain prince to establish a country.In the current palace, it is not an exaggeration to say that the queen is the only one in the world.

Xue Ziqin stood in a remote place and kept staring at Cen Lixuan, but Cen Lixuan never looked at him once.At the wedding banquet, there were laughter and laughter, but he was the only one, as if he was full of thoughts, and even the fine wine in the glass became unpleasant.

Min Qiu stood beside him as an attendant, seeing Xue Ziqin's expression full of loneliness, drinking one cup after another, he had no choice but to raise his hand to stop him: "Don't drink, general, the general has a poor capacity for drinking."

"..." Xue Ziqin wanted to curse back, but when he saw the gauze wrapped around Min Qiu's fingers, he choked back.

"Since the general already knows the answer, there is no need to feel sad for him."

"Which eye of yours saw me hurt?" Xue Ziqin retorted.

"Two."

"Min Qiu, you are quite courageous now."

"The last general is just telling the truth."

The two were chatting under the tree. Wei Lin, as the commander of the imperial army, was of course also here, but not as a guest, but as a guard.

He patrolled around the banquet, really bored, but happened to catch a glimpse of Xue Ziqin and Min Qiu.He stepped forward to say hello: "General Xue, Deputy General Min."

"Commander Wei."

"Hey, what are you doing so far?" Wei Lin said with a playful smile.After he finished speaking, he looked around. The location was really remote and there was no light, so he shyly looked at the wine in Xue Ziqin's hand and said, "Why don't I have a drink?"

"Aren't you still on duty?"

"Yes, but I secretly took a few sips." Wei Lin said while grabbing the wine glass, and drank it down without waiting for a refusal. "Wow, the wine in the palace is really good."

At first glance, the atmosphere at the wedding banquet looked peaceful, but in fact everyone was very vigilant, and everything that happened in the palace might hint at something, which made people worry.Instead, the three of them were chatting in the corner, as if they were simply here for a wedding.

Suddenly, a young eunuch hurried over from the outside, ran very fast, passed by Wei Lin, and almost bumped into Wei Lin.Wei Lin dodged sideways, frowned and said, "In such a hurry, reincarnation?"

What he said was neither big nor small, and I don't know if the young lady listened to it, but she didn't turn her head back, and ignored him.The little eunuch ran straight to the empress and knelt down, tremblingly said: "Emperor, Empress, something is wrong!"

"Why are you so flustered on the day of the Ninth Prince's wedding today?" the queen reprimanded.

Many ministers around heard the words, and already had some eyebrows in their hearts.

The wedding banquet suddenly became tense, and many people waited with bated breath for the little eunuch's next words.

The little eunuch was sweating profusely, fell on the ground and said: "Princess Li said, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is going to die..."

"What are you talking about!" The queen exclaimed, ignoring the current scene, she got up and walked out.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, Xue Ziqin's sad eyes instantly recovered the sharpness on the battlefield, and he lowered his voice and said quickly to Min Qiu: "Go and transfer troops outside the city, if other people's soldiers and horses move again, follow them in." city."
