Chapter three hundred and ninety third vote

A bright moon hangs on the treetops, and under the silver moonlight, everything in the palace looks hazy and mysterious.

Xiao Ming was assassinated and the prince was imprisoned. It was only a day and a night before Chang'an City was already in a state of chaos.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has been kneeling outside for half an hour. What should I do if I kneel down again and get tired of my body?"

Feng Deshui looked at Xiao Wenxuan who was paced back and forth. After returning from the East Palace, Xiao Wenxuan was very upset. He knew that the incident of the prince hiding barbarians in the East Palace was causing Xiao Wenxuan to mess up.

"If she likes to kneel, let her kneel. If she hadn't been so doting on the prince, would the prince be so overwhelmed?" Xiao Wenxuan said furiously.

Feng Deshui shrank his neck, and this time Xiao Wenxuan seemed to be really angry.

With a sigh, he continued, "Emperor, if you don't consider Queen Zhao, you have to consider the dragon fetus in the queen's belly."

Xiao Wenxuan frowned, and then he remembered that Queen Zhao was pregnant. He snorted coldly and said, "Let her come in."

Feng Deshui nodded. He knew that Xiao Wenxuan was just venting his anger on Queen Zhao because of the prince's affairs, but he still cared about Queen Zhao from the bottom of his heart.

He has been with Xiao Wenxuan since he was a child and is very clear about Queen Zhao's position in his heart.

Many people think that Xiao Wenxuan repeatedly supports the prince because of King Zhao, but few people know that this is just one of the reasons. The real reason is that Xiao Wenxuan's favorite in this palace is Queen Zhao.

When Xiao Wenxuan was a prince, he and the then prince went to Zhaodi at the same time.

It was at that time that they met Queen Zhao, who was known as the number one beauty in Zhao at that time.

At that time, the prince and Xiao Wenxuan fell in love with Empress Zhao at the same time. Later, the barbarians invaded. Empress Zhao was besieged by the barbarians while visiting her relatives. It was Xiao Wenxuan who was alone in rescued Empress Zhao.

During this period, the two gradually became in love.

However, at that time, the King of Zhao valued the prince and tried his best to obstruct him. However, Empress Zhao forced him to die. In the end, King of Zhao had no choice but to finally agree to the marriage between the two.

After that, Xiao Wenxuan fought everywhere, and his military achievements were outstanding, and he became increasingly favored by the emperor. The ministers also praised Xiao Wenxuan well.

Under this circumstance, the prince gradually showed murderous intent to Xiao Wenxuan, and the secret letter of the letter, King Kang, took advantage of Xiao Wenxuan's journey to Jizhou to suppress the rebellion and set up an ambush to kill Xiao Wenxuan.

However, this secret letter was obtained by Xiao Wenxuan. Since then, he has completely strengthened his determination to seize the throne. After leading his troops back to the court, he launched a mutiny and forced the prince to commit suicide. The last emperor was also imprisoned in the cold palace.

Recalling the past, Feng Deshui couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Too much disbelief passed by in his heart, worthy and unworthy, but now it has become the smoke of the past.

When he arrived at Queen Zhao, Feng Deshui carefully helped Queen Zhao up and said, "Empress, Your Majesty is angry, just speak carefully."

Queen Zhao wiped her tears. She followed Xiao Wenxuan at the age of fifteen. Now thirty years have passed, so she naturally understands her husband.

She nodded gently and said, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for the reminder."

Feng Deshui chuckled softly, helped Queen Zhao to the door of the Imperial Study room, retreated and guarded the door.

Inside the room, Xiao Wenxuan just glanced at Queen Zhao who came in and ignored it.

Queen Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Is the emperor still protecting the prince?"

Xiao Wenxuan snorted but still said nothing.

Seeing this, Empress Zhao said sadly: "Your Majesty, do you think I am really just for the future throne of the prince? The prince is indeed wrong this time, but if he assassinated the King of Qi, how could he hide the assassin in the Eastern Palace? This time the prince was just a traitor. I'm afraid the dispute over the throne is still the battle behind it."

"After all, you still have to keep the position of crown prince as the crown prince. I also know that the crown prince is only being used by others, but this barbarian is indeed what he hid in the East Palace to play. How could I hand over the Dayu Kingdom to such a disgraceful prince?"

Queen Zhao said slowly, "I understand that the prince is not good, but has the emperor not understood this assassination this time? The prince is still there, and there are people who want to kill Xiao Ming to deal with the prince. If the prince is deposed, what other means will these princes use to kill each other? And if any prince ascends the throne, how will they treat the King of Qi? Don't forget Your Majesty, you were desperate to save him to eliminate King Kang, which almost ruined the Great Yu Kingdom. Although this is a dangerous move and the barbarians did not continue to move south, you have never felt good all these years, right?"

"Shut up!"

Xiao Wenxuan was furious, and Queen Zhao's words hurt Xiao Wenxuan's heart.

It was his secret order to keep the imperial guards still in control that the barbarians were able to seize the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The reason for this was because of the secret order of the prince back then.

"Your Majesty, I know you don't want to mention this matter, but please think twice. Now these princes will kill the King of Qi. After they ascend the throne, how will they treat the King of Qi? I am afraid that these princes will also collude with the barbarians to cause the King of Qi to die. If that time comes, the barbarians will definitely not give the Great Yu Kingdom another chance, and there is no next King of Qi to resist the barbarians." Queen Zhao said word by word.

"Hmph, other princes will kill Xiao Ming, will the prince not kill the King of Qi? Didn't you see the prince's attitude towards the King of Qi when you were in the Eastern Palace?"

"I can ask the prince to make a letter of surrender to all the princes. If the prince violates his promise after ascending the throne, everyone can kill him!" Queen Zhao said in a stern voice: "But please let the prince of Qi and other princes also make a letter of surrender!"

"Send a letter!"

Xiao Wenxuan changed color slightly. This letter of fame was an oath made by Emperor Gaozu and seven other vassal kings of different surnames.

At that time, in order to prevent brothers from killing each other, the letter of surrender stipulated that those who kill brothers would kill them. This letter of surrender has always been a legend in the Kingdom of Dayu.

Then the letter of title was used again in the period of Emperor Gaozu. It was the time when the dispute over the throne was the most severe. Emperor Gaozu, who was dying, asked the princes to make the letter of title before his death and made it clear to the world that he preserved the throne of Emperor Gaozu.

It’s just that Xiao Wenxuan understood that the letter of title was just a contract, and whether to comply with it or not depends on the letter of title was not only for the prince himself, and he could not regard the letter of title as a panacea.

"Queen, you take the confession seriously." Xiao Wenxuan shook his head, "Woman's opinion!"

Queen Zhao was still very persistent. She said: "I naturally know that this letter of surrender cannot completely restrain other princes, but I can guarantee that the prince fulfills his promise, and Your Majesty can list the King of Qi as the executor of surrender. If the prince violates his oath, the King of Qi can raise an army to conquer the prince."
