Chapter 153 Disaster Star Reappearance
In the Xuanyuan Palace, Zhou Chongxiao, who was taken to the study by the guards, was calm. On the contrary, Xuanyuan's eyes were about to spit out fire when he ordered to catch people.
He suddenly regretted his decision to call Zhou Chongxiao into the palace.
Zhou Chongxiao in front of him is definitely not a mortal. No matter how much Zhou Chongxiao doesn't show his face, Xuanyuan Day won't even remember what his courtier looks like!
It was precisely because he saw that Zhou Chongxiao in front of him was exactly the same as Zhou Chongxiao for more than ten years. When the years had not left any trace on him, he regretted it.
Xuanyuan Huaijin and Changqing once said that Zhou Chongxiao was not a mortal. Ling Feng also said that Zhou Chongxiao's cultivation is only higher or lower than his. But those are all said by others, and Xuanyuan didn't care much.
Now, when Zhou Chongxiao really stood in front of him, he knew that what those people said was true.
The style is excellent and floating like a fairy. How can such people be trapped in this world? He suddenly lost his heart. There was no such thing in the world as power and wealth that could move Zhou Chongxiao.
His eyes are so quiet that they are so deep that people can't see the bottom, as if there is nothing in the world that can be haunted.
The emperor did not speak, and Zhou Chongxiao did not speak. He just stood there quietly, looking down at the front with no joy or sadness, just like when he first came to see him.
Xuanyuan had the illusion of going back in time in a trance. I don't know whether this is real or a memory more than ten years ago.
The night is coming to an end, and the eastern sky is gradually entering the last darkness before dawn. Evergreen looked up at the sky, and the corners of his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the star that had not moved for ten years - the disaster star.
At this time, the star of fluorescence actually has a faint appearance of blooming. No matter how hidden it is, the faint change can't be hidden from the careful observation of people.
"It's a blessing, not a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." Changqing bowed his head and said lightly. He came to make up for his mistake, but after all, human life can't be better than heaven. I'm afraid it's not a good thing that the light this time is close to the throne.
And not far from the Wuqu Star, which he had never paid attention to and was the only missing Wuqu Star among the seven stars, a small star flashed slightly. If the Taoist priest in white can see it at this time, he must be shocked. Because that was the "auxiliary star" that was a flash in the pan ten years ago.
No matter how the stars change, the only headache for Xuanyuan at this time is Zhou Chongxiao, who stood in front of him with no expression on his face.
"Say it, the condition that you won't leave the imperial city." For the first time, Xuanyuan felt that there was nothing he could do. Even if there was a strange omen from the sky and the world was shaking before, he felt that there was a way to solve it. However, Zhou Chongxiao's heart was so calm that he couldn't find any ripples.
"I just want to resign." Zhou Chongxiao whispered.
His starting point is already here. He has been an official for ten years. He has seen all the scenery of the palace, people coming and going, treacherous and cunning, and it is also human's natural to retreat. This is also what his untamed statement said. He wants to withdraw from the eunuch sea and go home to plough the field.
It's just that just as Xuanyuan Dayu doesn't believe that power can attract Zhou Chongxiao, he doesn't believe that Zhou Chongxiao will retreat for such a nonsense reason.
Surely, there is any reason why he is unwilling to stay in this imperial city.
"Aiqing really loves to laugh. You think you will believe your words." He casually pulled out a book, and Xuanyuan laughed softly.
Zhou Chongxiao observed Xuanyuan's every move. Although he doesn't see common things in his eyes, he can't avoid family affection. After all, the emperor is the emperor. If you blame your parents and family, it is unfilial to the son of man. This is also the reason why Zhou Chongxiao hopes to get Xuanyuan's personal consent instead of hanging the crown directly.
Obviously, Xuanyuan Day in front of him made up his mind not to let Zhou Chongxiao leave.
He couldn't help but be slightly stunned and didn't understand why Xuanyuan Dayu was so determined to let go of a dispensable minister.
At this time, Zhou Chongxiao has not yet been contacted with the illusory seven-star identity. Because he knew that he was not, he never thought about it, but he forgot that others did not know the truth.
"Does Zhou Aiqing think that the emperor is not worth assisting?" Xuanyuan Day lost his calmness. The calmer Zhou Chongxiao is, the more difficult it is for Xuanyuan to calm down. But he knew that he had to calm down, so he could only find a way to make Zhou Chongxiao lose his damn calmness.
When a person loses his composure, it is possible to reveal a real flaw.
"I dare not. The emperor is a rare wise king. This sentence is a big crime, and Zhou Chongxiao can no longer deal with it casually. He can't care about it himself, but his parents and his son can't care.
"Why does Aiqing insist on leaving again?" Seeing that his words had a slight effect, Xuanyuan finally found a little direction. As long as he knew that there was still a little bit in Zhou Chongxiao's heart, even if he smiled, he knew that he had hope of victory.
Zhou Chongxiao was silent for a moment. This time, he was silent for a long time. Because he already knows that he cares about the behavior of his family and exposes his weaknesses. He is no longer sure of winning.
"Is your majesty willing to pay any price to stay?" After thinking about it, Zhou Chongxiao decided to turn defense into attack.
Since there is an indisputable fact of concern, it can't be further controlled by others. Since you can't get what you want, try to get the most benefits as much as possible!
Xuanyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly. Zhou Chongxiao's question made him see the dawn of the negotiations. He was afraid that Zhou Chongxiao didn't have any requirements, which was the most terrible.
Now that Zhou Chongxiao is willing to make a request, the matter is not at all impossible to turn around.
"Aiqing won't fall in love with the position of Gu!" This is the greatest benefit that Xuanyuan can provide. Naturally, he knows in his heart that Zhou Chongxiao will not care about this position. He is a little self-deprecating that his most important thing is what others disdain the most. He just reminded Zhou Chongxiao that he is just a civilian emperor. Some things can be done, and some things can't be done after all. The emperor is not a god.
"If your majesty is willing, it is also very easy." Zhou Chongxiao did not directly refute the conditions proposed by Xuanyuan Dayu, but just looked at Xuanyuan Dayu unintentionally.
That glance surprised the king: Does he really want to be this emperor?
"Aiqing just said, if you can do it, you will naturally not shirk it. I just hope that Aiqing will not mention the departure in the future. Naturally, he can't abdic. If you really want to abdicating, I'm afraid it's impossible for others to agree. He bet that Zhou Chongxiao didn't really want to force him to give up. At the same time, he has also thought that even if it proves that Zhou Chongxiao is not a seven-star king in the future, it will be extremely beneficial for the imperial dynasty if he can always assist him with his cultivation and heart.
Cultivators focus on cultivating the heart. This kind of person can help you consolidate the world and deter others. If you use it well, it is also a good knife, not to mention that Zhou Chongxiao is a peerless weapon.
"I said that my request is very simple." With his eyelids drooping, Zhou Chongxiao no longer sells the key. There is no need. "I want to marry Princess Feng as my wife." In the previous life, he missed it. In this life, he will marry her openly no matter what.
The candlelight by the window suddenly made a few crackling sounds, which looked particularly loud in the silent study. The flames beat, causing the figure to wander around, which was strange and inexplicable. The eastern sky has revealed that the fish belly is white. Later, the sun will rise and the light will cover the earth.
However, Xuanyuan felt a little dark in front of his eyes. How could he think of it? Zhou Chongxiao didn't want anything. He just asked for his only daughter, Princess Feng Xuanyuan Huaisheng.
He was stunned. This kind of thing was not in his expectation. In his heart, Xuanyuan Huaisheng's daughter was cherished by him because of the lifeline of the imperial dynasty, but he forgot that she was a girl and would grow up one day.
"Aiqing... Why do you have this requirement?" Naturally, it was impossible for the emperor to believe that Zhou Chongxiao fell in love with Xuanyuan Huaisheng. He believed in his heart that the cultivation was ruthless and unloved and would not be related to love.
If it's someone else, maybe Xuanyuan's judgment is right. Unfortunately, the person he is facing is Zhou Chongxiao, and the person Zhou Chongxiao looks up to is Xuanyuan Huaisheng.
Zhou Chongxiao can't help himself, and naturally he can't help himself. Obviously, I have achieved success in my practice and have no desire, but I don't know why. When I face that little woman, I always feel affectionate and out of control.
The Taoist priest in white once made an incredible evaluation. As soon as Xuan Yuanbi died, no matter how difficult the relationship was, it should be broken. Who would have expected that they would be reincarnated and reborn. The two are still entangled and difficult to separate. It's really a sinful fate.
"If I say, I fell in love at first sight, can your majesty believe it?" With a slight smile, Zhou Chongxiao looked yearning. Although he was in the Xuanyuan Palace, his heart had already flown to the Hefeng courtyard where Xuanyuan Huaisheng was located.
Xuanyuan saw that he didn't look like a disguise, but he didn't know how to deal with it. He knows the status of Xuanyuan Huaisheng. I'm afraid it can't be decided for a while whether to get married or not.
"I can't agree to you immediately about this matter." The emperor stood up, walked to the door, and looked at the sunshine. "I promised her mother to take good care of her. When I have asked the princess what she means, I will reply to Aiqing!"
He did not promise anyone, especially the dead, but at this time, the dead can be the best excuse.
Zhou Chongxiao did not expect to get the answer immediately, but said indifferently, "I will naturally wait. But I have to make it clear that except for this condition, nothing else can be the reason for me to stay in the imperial city.
Xuanyuan's eyes deepened. He doesn't like other people's threats and never likes them. Even if that person is an unfathomable cultivation, he will never allow it. At this moment, he was murderous to Zhou Chongxiao.
