Chapter 93 The Throne
Zi Yaoling left the banquet with Yuxi. The two walked side by side on the street hand. No one spoke. Both of them enjoyed the silence of this moment.
Yu Xi did not ask Zi Yaoling where she wanted to take her, but followed him quietly. She didn't know how many opportunities the two could walk together like this again.
Zi Yaoling held the small hand in his hand all the way, and his cold fingers gave off a trace of warmth under his leadership.
After walking for a while, he stopped in front of Ling Wang's mansion. Yu Xi looked at him strangely, "Go back to the house?"
Zi Yao Ling smiled and said, "Follow me."
Although she has visited Yu Xiling's palace many times, she is not familiar with many places, such as the place where Zi Yaoling brought her.
This place is Ziyaoling's library, which is very high, with five floors full of bookshelves and books.
"You haven't read all the books here, have you?" Yuxi opened one casually. It was Zhou Yi. Did he also read this kind of book?
"I only saw 80%." Zi Yaoling took Yuxi upstairs.
80%? That's a lot. I really admire it.
Zi Yaoling took Yuxi all the way to the fifth floor. The bookstore is very clean, and it can be seen that someone has been cleaning it.
On the fifth floor, it was still full of books, which was no different from the lower floors. I looked at him with a questioning face and asked for an explanation.
Zi Yaoling walked to the oblique corner of the attic, gently pushed it, and unexpectedly opened a two-person-sized opening.
The two went up to the roof from there.
The ancient air was always clean. Yuxi lay on a black tile and looked up at the stars in the sky. The stars seemed to be within reach. Yuxi stretched out her hand, as if she could feel the cold starlight.
Zi Yaoling sat beside her, looked at her childish movements and smiled slightly.
"It's so beautiful." Yuxi sighed and turned his head to look at Ziyaoling. He didn't take her to see the stars, did he?
"When I was a child, my father liked to take me to look at the stars, and then pointed to the star and told me that 'Ling' was the emperor's star symbolizing the emperor." Zi Yao Ling pointed to a star in the sky.
Yu Xi looked along his fingers, and there was indeed a star that was extremely shining. What about the star next to it?
"That's the auxiliary star representing the teacher."
Yu Xi nodded and asked curiously, "Which star is you?"
Zi Yaoling shook his head and said, "My father didn't tell me."
"We have a saying that stars are changed after death, and then shine in the starry sky to take care of her favorite person."
Yuxi thought for a moment and continued, "My grandfather said that my parents had passed away a long time ago, and then I thought that they must have turned into stars in the sky and looked at me."
The wind at night was a little strong and cool. Ziyao Ling put Yuxi in her arms to protect her from the cold wind.
The chin rested on the top of Yuxi's head, rubbing slightly, and the good smell filled the tip of his nose.
"What do you think about Shui Qingxuan?" Yuxi still asked that question. How could she think that Shui Qingxuan was the king who had never appeared before?
"There is no impenetrable wall. King Che should know about Phoenix Pearl's peace in the world, so he competes for it." Do you really want to fight for a heavy throne? Brother, you are not kind. Don't blame me for my injustice.
"It's just a legend. Why does everyone value it so much?" It's just a chair, but it actually involves brothers to mai them.
"It's just a reason to take the throne."
"Demon, do you want the throne?" Yuxi didn't mean to ask this question.
Zi Yao Ling did not answer, and the faint breathing sound was clearer at night.
Yuxi doesn't seem to want to wait for him to answer. Yes, as a prince, no one wants to be above ten thousand people.
"Don't want to, does Yuxi want me to do that?"
Yuxi was slightly stunned and did not doubt whether Ziyao Ling's words were true or false. "I don't want you to be emperor."
"Why?" Zi Yaoling didn't expect Yu Xi to deny it so resolutely.
"It is said that the emperor has no love. If there is no love, what's the point of living? Three thousand beautiful women in the harem, and they still have to beware of the closest people around them. How tired is it? I think it's good to be a carefree prince, but under one person, you can also play everywhere. Yuxi said jokingly.
"Prince Xiaoyao, it has always been my pursuit..."
"Yes, I don't think you go to the early morning. It's so comfortable."
Zi Yaoling took down Ba and knocked on Yuxi's head. "My father saw that I was tired all the way and gave me a ten-day vacation!"
Yu Xi smiled secretly, " By the way, has the matter of Phoenix Pearl in the imperial capital been settled?"
Zi Yaoling hugged Yuxi, "Well, yes, you can get it in three days if there is no accident."
"So fast?" Yuxi was shocked, "Who is that bead?"
"White family."
Yu Xi sniffed, "I don't like the people of the Bai family."
Ziyao Linghuan tightened her, afraid that she would think of those things again. "Well, don't think about them."
"Especially white fiber." Yuxi added a sentence.
Ziyao Ling laughed, "Hehe..." Is this girl jealous?
"No laughing!" I knew he would be proud.
"Okay, don't laugh." The Bai family is about to become history.
The two looked at the moon on the roof again, looked at the stars, and talked for a good time before Yu Xi fell asleep in Zi Yaoling's arms.
Looking at the sleeping face, Ziyao Ling shook her head and smiled, but the girl didn't seem to have slept well recently, and he could still see the cyan in her eyes.
He flew downstairs and gently brought Yuxi to Yuge.
The people under the sky-blue brocade fell asleep peacefully. Ziyaoling sat by the bed, and her whole face was stuck in the shadow.
Xiaoyu, what should I do with you? There are still three days left, maybe you will leave, and there are still three days left.
He couldn't imagine what she would look like when she left. His heart ached at the thought of this, as if he had been pout.
Can you selfishly tell you that Phoenix Pearl can't be found?
"Xiaoyu..." With deep attachment in her voice, her fingers stroked her familiar face.
On the tenth day of May of the 233 of Renjing of the Japanese dynasty, Prime Minister Lan played the imperial examination of the Bai family in the spring of Renjing 21st and accepted bribes of more than 1 million taels, involving 20 scholars, one of whom was on the list. The Marquis of Chengyuan reported that the Bai family embezzled 5 million taels of silver when Renjing dredging the canal in 20 years; the rest of the officials all reported to the Bai family for several evil deeds. For the second son of the Bai family, Chenghong, built the capital palace privately, which offends Long Zun. For the third son of the Bai family, Chengyao forcibly robbed the daughter of the people and killed five people... Thousands of crimes are really hard to write!
The emperor was furious and detained Bai Fei, the head of the Bai family, as well as his second and third sons.
Xiluo, the eldest son of the Bai family, has been away from the Bai family for many years and has been separated from the Bai family. There has been no accident. The four daughters of the Bai family were placed under house arrest in the Baifu, the imperial capital... The rest of the Bai family in the capital of the capital are temporarily banned from the capital and guarded by General Lu Mian led by troops to prevent change.
There is an uproar! The people rushed everywhere to tell each other that the Bai family was about to decline, and some people speculated that this was because His Majesty wanted to cut off the four nobles, centralization of power, and more willing to provoke the Bai family to anger the nobles and suffer this disaster...
When rumors spread in the market, Yuxi was taking care of the acacia tree she had just planted in front of the Warm Maple Pavilion.
When Bingning told her about this, she was also very surprised. She just thought that when the leader blamed Lu Yuan and her father, she probably understood a little. This was also what he instructed, and it was also for her.
It's false to say that he is not moved, but the gun comes out. Even if the emperor really wants to cut the four families, he should not let them speak. Did you ignore it for her? What can she do?
Chengyao, the third son of the Bai family, was imprisoned in prison. Naturally, what Li Chen asked him to do was unsuccessful, and Fenghuangzhu was lost again.
However, if you run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. Phoenix Pearl is bound to win. Of course, Yuxi doesn't know this.
To Yuxi's surprise, that day, Concubine De invited her to the palace.
Sitting on the carriage going to the palace, Yuxi was afraid that only Bingning accompanied her in her dream.
She has also read books and heard rumors. What's more, this German concubine is still Ziyaoling's biological mother, and Yuxi's heart is also somewhat calm. Her identity as Princess Xile, the righteous daughter of the Lan family, is there.
When she arrived at Dexin Palace, Yuxi saw an extremely simple palace, which was not as gorgeous as she thought, but with a fresh and natural wind. It seemed that the owner of the palace was also a noble person.
There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the Dexin Palace. At first glance, the deconcubine De saw was actually wearing a pink maid's uniform, holding a big pair of scissors in her hand and trimming several tea trees.
A person who is over 36 years old, but he looks only 256 years old.
Yu Xi bent down slightly and saluted the standard palace salute. "Yu Xi has seen the Empress Defei."
"Yuxi is here. You go to the side and have a rest first. I'll change my clothes and come to accompany you immediately." The crisp words were kind, and there was no self-proclaim like "this palace" for her, and there was no prestige in Yuxi's imagination, which made Yuxi also have a good impression on her.
"Good." Yu Xi sat on the stone bench. After a while, Concubine De came out, not wearing a gorgeous palace costume, but a simple light green dress.
Defei looked at Yu Xi's flexible appearance and held her hand, "You are the child Ling Er likes."
Yu Xi didn't expect that she would say this sentence as soon as she opened her mouth. Finally, she nodded and said "um" gently.
"I also like your child." Concubine De touched Yuxi's hair. The child was not arrogant, impatient and polite. Unlike those noble ladies who were arrogant, his son was really discerning.
"Thank you, mother."
"Yuxi, I came here to talk to you and eat. Don't despise me."
"How come? Yuxi was flattered.
"That's good." Concubine De said to the surrounding maids, "You go down and bring some tea first."
Yu Xi sat up straight, and it seemed that the topic was coming.
"Yuxi, do you know about the Bai family?" Concubine De asked softly.
"Yes, I know."
Defei sighed, "I heard that this is also caused by you?"
Yu Xi was stunned and didn't expect that Concubine De would know, "I don't know the specifics, but there is a certain reason for me." After consideration, Yuxi is still like this. After all, the Bai family is not able to move. Of course, there are her factors, but the bigger reason is still in the superior.
Concubine De seemed to be released and deepened her smile.
It's even more strange to see Yuxi.
"Ling Er rarely cares so much about a girl. You are the first one!" It's like mothers want their children to get true love.
Yuxi didn't know what to say for a moment. Maybe she would be the person who hurt Ziyao Ling the most in her life.
"I know that Ling Er is free by nature and doesn't want the throne, but someone is forcing him. Yuxi, you are a good child. You should persuade him more and untie him." The throne, if possible, he hopes that his children will not be touched.
Yuxi also knows something. The emperor wants to give the throne to the evil, but the evil doesn't want it.
"Mother, shouldn't you persuade Your Majesty?" After all, she is the most favored concubine in the harem and the emperor's best friend.
Defei smiled gently and brought out a touch of sadness, "Yuxi, you are still young and don't understand."
Yuxi felt secret as soon as she heard it, but she didn't expose the scars, and said some words to reassuring the German concubine.
The two talked until the evening, and Yu Xi returned home after dinner.
Walking on the brightly lit passage, there was a little eunuch leading the way. Thinking of Defei's words, Yu Xi always felt that the woman favored by this harem was too helpless and did not seem to be as beautiful as she thought.
A white light suddenly flashed in her mind. No matter how she looked at this German concubine, she looked like a person. Now when she remembered, she found that there were three or four shadows of Lin Yufeng on the face of the German concubine! That night in the secret room, she didn't see the emperor's, so it was...
"What did Yuxi find?" Yuxi didn't expect that he would say the "so" and someone answered.
Looking up, I found that it was Zi Yao Che.
"I want to see His Royal Highness King Che." The eunuch leading the way saluted, and Yu Xi just stood there and said nothing.
"Get up, where is this to take the princess?"
"If I go back to Your Highness, I will send the princess out of the palace."
"Go down first. I'm also about to leave the palace. Let's go all the way with the princess."
"This...this..." The little eunuch looked at Yuxi and hesitated. Yuxi nodded, and he was reasant, "Thank you, Your Highness, I'm leaving."
When the little eunuch went far away, Ziyao Che said to Yuxi with a smile, "What did Yuxi understand just now that she said the four words 'so it is so'?"
Yu Xi looked at the warm smiling face in front of him and was really not interested in pestering him. "I just figured out one thing. It turned out that many people had many identities, and many people wore false masks and only waited for the last blow to others before saying these four words. Your Highness It's getting late. Yuxi was afraid that her family would wait in a hurry and took a step first.
