The Pearl on the Emperor’s Crown

When the emperor died, it was the royal women who were most panicked.

Everyone knows that this day has completely changed.

If it is still in the Zhu family's world, in case the country is destroyed, then...

The concubines who were taken to Luling cried together, crying for their unpredictable fate. Nowadays, there are lords, tigers and wolves, and the journey back to Beijing is so long. They are all used to being pampered and comfortable, and they are born with fine skin and tender flesh. It is not certain whether they can return to Kyoto safely.

All the female relatives gathered in the tent of the most respected concubine Tong, waiting for news from the previous dynasty. Including Concubine Shu and Zhen Xi.

Zhen Xi was trembling now, and Xie Ying asked her to administer the medicine given to the emperor. Only she, who is closest to the emperor, can proceed smoothly. But she did not expect that the emperor would die this night.

Sisters Zhu Yi are naturally among them.

Zhu Yi and Zhu Jing didn't shed a single tear. They only hid their faces when they heard the emperor's bad news and weeping. Zhu Chuo had cried for the emperor, and now they were tired and began to rest. Only Zhu Dai was still sobbing quietly.

Zhu Yi hugged Zhu Chuo who was asleep in her arms, knocked her head down, and then sat up straight again. From the night before to now, she might have slept for a long time, and she was extremely tired.

Before entering the night last night, Xie Ying ordered the **** Fu Xiaoche, who was next to Concubine Tong, to find Zhu Yi, but Concubine Tong kept pulling her, so she did not leave with Fu Xiaoche.

Zhu Yi now thinks about it, knowing that most of the emperor's affairs are related to Xie Ying. If I had known this, it was time to go out, but now it is too late to go out...

But what makes Zhu Yi happy is that her identity as Yan Fengqin's fiancée was erased. According to a report from the **** who came in, it was said that Yan Yuer deliberately seduce the emperor and killed him when the emperor lost his vigilance.

The Yan family has become a courtier and thief, of course it is impossible to bring the princess down again. Seeing that the wedding date was just before her eyes, Zhu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

At this time, the princes and ministers were faced with new choices.

The generals that the emperor brought to Luling were mostly trusted people who he believed would not rebel.

But the hearts of the people are unpredictable. Since Qiu Qingsong, the deputy commander of the march, can be rebelled by Xie Ying and Han Yunrong, then there must be others to protect their lives or betray their future. Especially when the emperor is dead and there is no successor.

In order to stabilize the situation, Zheng Ge Lao, who was alluded to be Minister Gu Ming by the emperor, took out a volume of imperial decree in the eyes of everyone's consternation, and read it out in front of hundreds of officials, saying that Zhu Xiuli was not missing, but his majesty sent someone to protect him and send it to the capital to enthrone the throne. He succeeded to the throne and ordered everyone to support the new monarch and be loyal to the court.

After Dingguo General Zhou's trip led a large army to surround the feudal king's camp, Zheng Ge quickly ordered to protect the concubine and princess back to Beijing. Baiguan also followed south.

Zhou Zhixing ordered the crossbowmen to point their arrows at the camps of the kings, and said: "Please pay all the princes and sons!" Because the sky is still unclear, it is normal for the princes to get up and check even if they hear the movement, and some of them have not been found. body.

King Qin and other princes surnamed Zhu scolded Zhou Zhixing for committing crimes. There was a fierce conflict between the two sides. King Qin and Qi Wang surnamed Zhu to the end, Zhou Zhixing did not dare to actually shoot arrows.

Zhou Zhixing shouted at the guards outside Jinghai Wangying's tent, "Quickly hand over the Princess Hejia!" Yan Yuer suddenly disappeared and must have been hidden by Jinghai Wang and Yan Fengqin.

It wasn't until Zhou Zhixing sent people to come close to investigate that they found that the Xie family, Yan family, and the masters and confidants of the Ruan family had all disappeared without a trace. After all, they came a step slower.

Zhu Yi and Concubine Tong were sitting in a carriage and were a little surprised to learn that Zhu Xiuli had gone to Beijing and that the people of the three major palaces left Luling on their own.

Zhu Yi's heart became more and more unable to calm down. She told herself that the situation in the previous dynasty must have been tense enough to threaten Xie Ying's life, so he left by himself. He will definitely come to her again.

But if Xie Ying comes to her, what should she do? Is it to leave everything behind and go with Xie Ying without knowing Zhu Xiuli's future and destiny?

Zhu Yi turned her head to look at Concubine Tong, who had become very excited. Perhaps her aunt had already dreamed of being a queen mother and holding power. When a person is eroded by the desire for power and becomes crazy about it, he can't see the truth, and he doesn't want to see the truth.

What about Zhu Xiuli ascending the throne as the young emperor, even the old emperor couldn't keep the country, could it be that a child could keep it? Especially Zhu Xiuli, a child who doesn't understand anything but only knows how to play.

No one in the officialdom is a fool, she can think of it, what other families and ministers can't think of? So in the case of the feudal king Xiongzhi, there will be a few people who truly support Zhu Xiuli. If Zhu Xiuli is supported by God's position, the end of the game is almost predictable.

Zhu Yi took a deep breath, temporarily letting herself not think about Xie Ying. What she hopes most now is to prevent Zhu Xiuli from getting involved in the heavy conspiracy and killing.

She made up her mind, first went to Beijing to find Zhu Xiuli, persuaded him to give up the throne and go to Weizhou with her. She really couldn't make her leave Zhu Xiuli, whom she had been protecting, and leave with Xie Ying.

But Zhu Xiuli, whom Zhu Yi was concerned about, was now surrounded by swords, lights and swords, as Zhu Yi guessed that there were many crises.

After a fierce fight, Ruan Yu asked Xie Ying from a distance: "The third brother wants to take him away? Is this the meaning of the third brother alone, or the whole Wei Ning Palace?"

During the match, Ruan Yu found that Xie Ying was injured, and the injury was not minor. If it hadn't been for Sheng Ling's timely help, his knife could even cut Xie Ying's arm. But Ruan Yu still didn't dare to fight Xie Ying with all his strength.

Xie Ying replied: "I mean by myself."

Ruan Yu thought for a moment, Xie Ying must take Zhu Xiuli away, so let him take it away. He didn't need to fight Xie Ying at this time, wasting his precious time. Originally, killing Zhu Xiuli was just easy.

"Then I will give my third brother a convenience. If necessary, I hope my third brother will also do it for me." Ruan Yu finished speaking and left with someone.

Zhu Xiuli stood aside and looked at Xie Ying, his immature face showed heavy confusion and confusion. For the first time, his favorite big brother gave him a feeling of oppression and fear. Not long ago, he learned about the death of the emperor. Although the emperor did not pay much attention to sons other than the prince, it was his father after all.

He asked: "Cousin, like that Ruan Yu, are you here to kill me?"

"no."

Xie Ying did not force Zhu Xiuli away. The tall man squatted down and looked at Zhu Xiuli, and said, "Ali, my cousin is going back to Weizhou, and your sister is also with us. Do you want to go with us?"

Zhu Xiuli's first reaction was: "Zhu Yi? Why did she go with you?" He recalled the expression and behavior of Xie Ying in front of his sister, and asked: "Does she like you? ... Do you want to marry her? "

Xie Ying nodded.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xiuli said, "Go back to Weizhou? How could it be possible, cousin, you have so many troops... won't you fight for the world? Will you soon attack Shangjing and replace our Zhu family?"

Before that, Zhu Xiuli would never have asked such words. But in the past two days, the people arranged by the emperor told Zhu Xiuli a lot, a lot. It made his carefree world like a glass bottle that had suddenly shattered and could never be restored to its original state.

Xie Ying thought for a while and seriously said to the child: "It's a fight. But not now, but in the future. It may be half a year, maybe one or two years, depending on the situation in the world."

Zhu Xiuli frowned tightly and said: "The people who protected me earlier are planning to take me back to Beijing to become the emperor. Then...cousin, when you come to the world, will you let me be the emperor? "

"No." Xie Ying said in Zhu Xiuli's changing expression: "Because if I capture the world, I earn it myself. Only what a man earns by himself can truly belong to him."

Zhu Xiuli looked at Xie Ying without blinking, and the doubts and unwillingness in his heart were strangely eliminated by these words. It was silent all around, except for the horse's nose and the rustling of the grass blades in the breeze. There was almost no other sound.

Xie Ying said: "Ali, if you come to Weizhou with me, you can no longer play with cricket mynah every day, but you can go to war with your cousin, and you will still be the prince in the future."

"If you choose to enter Beijing. I will send you back to General Zhou, who had guarded you before. Ali chooses it yourself."

At this time, the relationship cultivated by Xie Yingzeng and Zhu Xiuli played a key role. Zhu Xiuli is just a child after all, and being an emperor doesn't really have much temptation for him. What's more, Xie Ying is both the hero he longs for and the elder brother he wants. He can play with him and take him to war. Moreover, there is Zhu Yi who is the most important to him.

"Cousin, can my mother and concubine go to Weizhou together?"

Xie Ying said: "If Concubine Tong is willing, you can." Xie Ying obviously had a different attitude towards Concubine Tong's visit to Weizhou, but Zhu Xiuli, who imagined a new life, did not notice. In fact, he didn't like being locked up in the palace.

So Zhu Xiuli said, "Cousin, I will go with you!"

"Okay, let's pick up your sister." Xie Ying smiled and raised Zhu Xiuli and put it on the back of a red horse. He and Sheng Ling and the others also mounted their horses and drove in the direction of Luling.

The horse caravan of the female family members stopped by a creek to rest. It should be camped here tonight.

Zhu Yi also came to the stream and splashed the cool stream on her face. She always felt that there were always two eyes looking at her in secret. When she turned her head, she found nothing.
