I was forced to marry

Seeing Emperor Jingwen this time made Xiao Yuejue more nervous than ever seeing Emperor Jingwen.

It is said that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and the Sacred Will is difficult to guess.The king's happiness and anger have always been elusive. Today it can pamper you to the sky, but it can also make you fall into the abyss tomorrow.

Xiao Yue couldn't figure out Emperor Jingwen's current mood, and even he didn't know anything about what happened that night before, and it suddenly appeared to him like an air crash.

In Changle Palace, Xiao Yue knelt on the ground after paying his respects. Emperor Jingwen didn't speak, so Xiao Yue didn't know what to say.With his head slightly lowered, he looked at Emperor Jingwen who had been staring at the painting already hung on the wall from the corner of his eye.

Knees really hurt.

While nervous, Xiao Yue sighed very sincerely.But since he knelt down, Emperor Jingwen didn't let him get up, so he didn't dare to get up without authorization, and kept thinking about how to deal with it later.

"Yue'er." Emperor Jingwen finally spoke, but fortunately his tone was lonely, but not unreasonable.Xiao Yue secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

"What is your father's order?" Could you let me get up and speak?

Emperor Jingwen turned around, looked at Xiao Yue carefully, and asked, "What do you think about today's events?"

Xiao Yue gritted his teeth secretly, although he had expected that Emperor Jingwen would ask this question, but it was really hard for him to express any opinion on today's matter.The scars on Emperor Jingwen's heart have been uncovered, and it would be risky to say anything at this time.

After waking up, Xiao Yue raised his head and said, "If your father has any doubts in your heart, just investigate to the end."

Emperor Jingwen didn't seem to expect Xiao Yue to say this, and his slightly pale face showed a trace of surprise, and then he restrained his expression after a while, "Now that the matter is up to now, the empress who is your mother has probably told you the ins and outs. It's clear."

This very light sentence made Xiao Yue smell a hint of danger.But he didn't beat around the bush. Nanny Qi, Li Yuanjing, and the painting appeared at the same time, which confirmed something in Emperor Jingwen's heart to a certain extent.

Therefore, Xiao Yue said directly: "Yes, so the father is wondering if that child is among the people celebrating his birthday today?"

Xiao Yue's neither humble nor overbearing, and this seemingly normal state of mind stunned Emperor Jingwen for a moment. After a while, he seemed to think of something, and said: "Get up."

Xiao Yue let out a deep breath, and after thanking him, he stood up, but he didn't dare to rub his sore knee, he just stood there, still looking up at Emperor Jingwen as usual.

At this moment, Emperor Jingwen had no expression on his face, he just looked at Xiao Yue silently, looking straight into his eyes, "If I say that Li Yuanjing is that child, what about Yue'er?"

A very light sentence made the air in the room suddenly freeze, making it difficult for Xiao Yue to breathe.However, there was no other expression in his eyes, which were watched by Emperor Jingwen, except for the surprise in response to the occasion.

"Li Yuanjing? It's good for the emperor to confirm. If it is true, the troubles of Southern Chu will not be a problem, and the emperor's grand plan can be realized as soon as possible." Xiao Yue said, bowing his hands to Emperor Jingwen.

Emperor Jingwen didn't make a sound again, the silence in the room made Xiao Yue's back sweat, but he tried his best to make himself look normal, as if he sacrificed his life for righteousness, and only cared about the future of Dazhou and Emperor Jingwen.

At the end, Emperor Jingwen said slowly: "Great Zhou has stood for hundreds of years. Even if the world is divided and Beiliu rises, it will still be the strongest country in this continent. It is because the Great Zhou is informal and not for the world. Talents are available. Both men and men can be officially married, not to mention letting a long-lost prince return to the ancestral temple."

Xiao Yue lowered his head and listened, he already understood what Emperor Jing Wen said, as long as Li Yuanjing's identity could be confirmed, it would only take a few minutes to recognize him.Who made Da Zhou's system different, as long as it is the emperor's son, unless the emperor refuses to recognize it, no matter who is born, he must enter the ancestral temple and ancestral hall, and his identity has been corrected.

So, it's no wonder the Queen is so nervous.

At this time, Xiao Yue really wanted to know if the ancestors of the Great Zhou formulated the ancient and unparalleled system just to be able to have children outside.

"What the father said is that as long as it can be proved, the minister will be happy for the father." Xiao Yue said with a smile.

"Is Yue'er really happy?" Emperor Jingwen asked back.

"Naturally, since the great division of the world, the wish of the ancestors, including the emperor, is to rule the world. Now if Li Yuanjing is really the son of the emperor, wouldn't Nanchu belong to my Great Zhou?"

Xiao Yue said with a smile that Emperor Jingwen watched him, and finally raised his hand and patted his shoulder, his voice softened, "My son understands righteousness deeply. My heart is very comforted."

Xiao Yue accepted this with a smile.

"It's late at night, you're tired today, don't listen to court tomorrow, go rest." Emperor Jing Wen said while patting his shoulder.

Xiao Yue knew the meaning of these words in his heart. There might be a strong wind in the ruling and opposition parties tomorrow, and Emperor Jingwen would handle it much easier if he was not around.

"Thank you, father, for your compassion."

Step out of Changle Palace, looking at the majestic palace wall and the silent night sky with only a crescent moon hanging in front of you.Xiao Yue breathed out lightly, sweating all over his back.

Just now, every sentence of Emperor Jingwen's words was intended to be a test.If my answer is not in line with his wishes, I don't know what will happen this time?

If the real prince knows that his father has always used him as a substitute, will he die with regret?

Thinking about it, Xiao Yue sighed, but when he lifted his legs, his feet were a little weak, and his body tilted to the side without paying attention, but fortunately, he supported him with both hands.

"Thank you, Eunuch De." Xiao Yue thanked Dexi who straightened up and looked at Dexi who was supporting him.

"Your Highness, pay attention to your body." Withdrawing his hand, Dexi bowed while holding the whisk.

Xiao Yue smiled, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he stopped, looked at Dexi, and bowed to him, "Thank you, father-in-law, take care of your mother."

Seeing Xiao Yue salute to him, Dexi hurriedly bowed again, "I don't dare. The empress is gentle and virtuous, her mother respects the world, and no one in the palace refuses to accept her."

After finishing speaking, Dexi looked at Xiao Yue, Xiao Yue nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

But when he turned to leave, Dexi, who never said much, stopped him softly, "Your Highness."

Xiao Yue was puzzled, and saw Dexi walking up lightly, and said with a smile, "General Luo is the emperor's confidant, and what General Luo does is what the emperor thinks. Tomorrow morning, General Luo will also come back."

After finishing speaking, Dexi raised his head and said to Xiao Yue: "Respectfully, Your Highness." Then he withdrew.

Xiao Yue didn't quite understand what Dexi said.Luo Hong was indeed Emperor Jingwen's confidant. Da Zhou's soldier talisman was divided into three, and one of them was in Luo Hong's hands.

Emperor Jingwen trusted Feng Wei, but he trusted Luo Hong with confidence.

But since the arrival of the princes of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Hong has been stationed outside the city, not even attending the birthday banquet.

What does Dexi mean by this?

Returning to the East Palace, Xiao Yue's spirit was a little sluggish. When he left the Changle Palace just now, the Queen was waiting for him outside the Changle Palace. Seeing that he was safe, she left.The mother and son didn't say a word, but Xiao Yue could clearly see the worry and love in the queen's eyes.

On the second day, Xiao Yue did not go to court, but let Sixi quietly enter the palace to inquire about the news.

Sure enough, as Xiao Yue thought, today's court was very lively, and Emperor Jingwen confessed to Li Yuanjing with blood in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.Coupled with the testimony of Nanny Qi, she explained clearly how she protected Li Yuanjing to Nanchu and became the prince of Nanchu to save his life.

It was said that the imperial concubine of Nanchu gave birth to a baby and died within a day, and Madam Qi happened to entrust Li Yuanjing to a sister of hers who was a court lady in Nanchu.The palace lady couldn't bear the pain of the imperial concubine's loss of her son, and she didn't know how to hide Li Yuanjing from Yingmen's pursuit, so she simply took a drop of the dead baby's blood and replaced Li Yuanjing.

The palace lady also appeared today, and she told the story from the beginning to the end, so no one could believe it.

Xiao Yue sat on the chair and listened to Sixi's words, and after a moment's pause, he asked, "How's the queen mother?"

"Besides the shock, the empress has some heart palpitations, but nothing serious."

There is no serious problem, how can there be no serious problem, the queen is afraid that she is very anxious at this moment.Li Yuanjing's recognition of his ancestors this time is not simply a matter of kowtowing in the ancestral hall. Li Yuanjing is a symbol of Southern Chu. Southern Chu merged into the Great Zhou Dynasty. Will the other two countries be far behind?

Although I don't know how he killed the Southern Chu Emperor and subdued people's hearts.But based on this, he could kick himself out in minutes.

Seeing Sixi trembling slightly, Xiao Yue frowned and asked, "What else?"

Sixi knelt down with a plop, and there were forty or fifty people, and she couldn't help crying, "Today, Li Yuanjing, no, he is the eldest prince, and he made a lot of lists, including palace servants and servants. Today, those whose death is even close to death are all sentenced to death, and several of them are still in the empress's palace, and one of them is still the maid in charge of the empress's palace."

Maid in charge?That was the queen's dowry girl, who had been following the queen all along. Li Yuanjing's purpose for doing this was too obvious.Xiao Yue clapped his hands and asked, "What happened to the queen mother?"

Sixi hurriedly kowtowed, "The Empress has passed out, and the imperial physician is treating her."

Damn it, Li Yuanjing!

Xiao Yue cursed secretly, but when the eunuch reported that King Cheng was coming, he hurriedly let others pass it on.

Xiao Huan came in with a look of anger on his face. Seeing Xiao Yue, he hurriedly wanted to salute, but Xiao Yue stopped him.Before he could open his mouth to ask, Xiao Huan said angrily: "Prince, if you recognize your relatives with blood, and there are witnesses and physical evidence, then Li Yuanjing is really the son of the emperor."

"It's true that he dared to do this, and he didn't show his face before, so he caught us off guard." Xiao Yue said softly, his eyes were ruthless once.

"Today there is a lot of mourning in the palace. It is really inappropriate for the father to do so, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dare not speak out. Even General Luo didn't say a word."

Luo Hong also didn't say a word?Xiao Yue was puzzled.With Luo Hong's temper, it is impossible to keep silent.

"This morning, Li Yuanjing has made it clear that since he belongs to the Great Zhou, Southern Chu belongs to the Great Zhou. Li Yuanjing is really capable of doing so well. Prince, quickly think of a countermeasure." Xiao Xiao Huan said anxiously.

Countermeasures?What countermeasures can be taken?As the prince himself, he seems to be noble, but he has no real power in his hands. Whether he can be the prince depends entirely on Emperor Jingwen's mood.

And I really don't want to be a prince, but that's based on my own safety.But now Li Yuanjing is going to hurt many people besides himself.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yue looked at Cheng Wang and said, "The countermeasure? Wait."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

Wait for Feng Wei to attack, wait for Li Yuanjing to expand himself, and wait for A Luo and Xi Yu to come back.

"Wait for the time, the time has not come yet, before that, I will not let Li Yuanjing snatch my crown prince." Xiao Yue said firmly to Xiao Huan.He was very clear about Feng Wei's hint last night, and he also knew that Feng Wei had a way to defeat Li Yuanjing in one fell swoop, but it would take time, the method was a bit slow and fierce, and it might be a way to hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damage eight hundred.

But now as long as it is a method, it has to be used, but what should Feng Wei do?

Moreover, Xiao Yuejue was a little confused, "Is Li Yuanjing going too smoothly, Brother Huang?"

"What does the prince mean?"

"Let's not talk about whether he is the emperor's child or not. I always feel that there is someone behind him to help him."

"You mean, someone in Dazhou is helping him?"

Xiao Yue looked at Xiao Huan and nodded.His guess was not groundless, but Li Yuanjing really went too smoothly.

And what happened these days, from the time when the real prince was sent to Beiliu in a good manner, to now.Thinking about it, Xiao Yue always felt that there was a vague line connecting these seemingly irrelevant incidents.

Emperor Jingwen did not summon Xiao Yue for a few days, and all the palace servants and guards in the East Palace were replaced by people arranged by Emperor Jingwen.Xiao Yue couldn't come out without calling.He was put under house arrest in a disguised form, and he didn't even have a serious name.

On the contrary, there is a feeling that the main character is back, and the substitute should end.The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not care about this, and no one dared to speak for a prince who had no real power at this time and touch Emperor Jingwen's bad luck.What's more, these days Li Yuanjing is talking with Emperor Jingwen about how to integrate Southern Chu into the Great Zhou and expand its territory.

Xiao Yue knew about Li Yuanjing's ambitions. Judging from his desire to dominate the Central Plains, starting from the Great Zhou was much easier than starting from Southern Chu.After all, the strength of Da Zhou surpassed that of Southern Chu by more than a hundred years.

As for Emperor Jingwen's love for himself, the so-called king's love is nothing more than that.But thinking about these days and the filial piety of Emperor Jingwen's father and son, Xiao Yue is inevitably still a little sad.

It's just that the queen has suffered a lot, and she is worried about herself all day long.

Since being demoted, Xiao Yue has also been very patient, seeing that he has no awareness of falling out of favor at all, he should eat and drink.Only two days ago, he saw a few white pigeons flying in formation in the sky, which was the signal of Shadow Gate.

Luo Shaojin once taught him how to look, and the meaning of those white pigeons lined up is: hit with one hit.The meaning of the seal is to let myself wait.

When Emperor Jingwen changed people, Xiao Yue specially hid the yuan shells in the firewood room, and hid them in his room, eating and living with him for a few days.Fortunately, too many things have happened in the past few days, even the person who captured Yuanbei and entered the East Palace forgot his existence, otherwise it would be another disturbance if it was known.

"You go." Untied Yuan Bei, Xiao Yue didn't even want to look at him, so he waved him to leave.

Yuan Bei hid in Xiao Yue's room for a few days, glaring at Xiao Yue every day, but now his eyes that want to kill Xiao Yue are nothing to Xiao Yue.

"Hey, believe it or not. Your eunuch was completely a misunderstanding. I never thought that keeping you would turn you into a eunuch."

Seeing that Yuan Bei stared at him with the same vicious mechanical eyes, Xiao Yue sighed.

Sixi told him that he and Yuan Bei.At that time, Yuan Bei sneaked into Jing'an, but his silver was stolen. He fainted on the street from hunger, and was brought back by "himself" when he went out.The reason why Yuan Bei made it up was that there was a plague in his hometown, and everyone in his family died, leaving him alone.So 'I' not only greeted him with good food and drink to save his life, but also showed kindness to keep him by my side and be friends with 'I'.

But 'I' never thought that if the prince wanted to keep a homeless poor boy by his side, what else could he be other than making him a eunuch?The person in charge would have misunderstood it at the time. It's ridiculous that even Yuan Bei himself didn't understand what "staying by my side" really meant.After going to the clean room, it was too late.

"I know, if you really did it on purpose, you would have died long ago." Yuan Bei said lightly, the ruthlessness in his eyes remained undiminished.

"So, now you can't kill me, and I'm so annoyed that I don't want to kill you anymore, so let's go."

"Hmph, farewell." Yuan Bei snorted coldly and flew out of the window.

Xiao Yue didn't even have the mood to look at Yuan Bei, and just poured himself a glass of water calmly, but when he was about to drink, the door was pushed open.Xiao Yue thought it was the eunuch delivering meals, so he didn't pay much attention, but heard Sixi's voice.

"How did you come?"

"Your Highness, the Empress is not well." Sixi lowered her voice, looked around, and said softly.

"What's not good?" Xiao Yue frowned.

"The emperor is investigating Lin Ling's death that year. For some reason, the target is directed at the empress." Just as Sixi was talking, a patrol outside passed by. The body backed out.

Xiao Yue couldn't sit still any longer, he had to go into the palace to see the queen, but how should he get in.

"Do you want me to take you into the palace?" Yuan Bei's voice suddenly sounded when he was in a hurry.Xiao Yue turned his head and looked out the window, wondering: "You?"

"Compared to Li Yuanjing, I prefer someone like you to be the emperor of the Great Zhou."

The author has something to say: Little angels, I am back.Because someone in the family was sick and hospitalized, so I went to the hospital after get off work every day, and the update fell behind again.Every time I come back after a few days of interruption, I feel a deep sense of apology.Meme me da~~~~~
