Chapter 201 "The Queen Mother has passed away, the Emperor is seriously ill... The eldest princ
With the help of Ling Zizhong.
Only seven days of the ten-day period had passed.
The epidemic was contained.
The number of patients is decreasing rapidly, and there have been no new cases in the past two days.
Xie Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief.
To joke in a lighthearted tone:
"My life is saved. I don't need to offer sacrifices to the gods!"
Chu Hanxiao frowned when he heard this.
He held her in his arms domineeringly.
Press her head against your chest.
Stroking her long hair.
The voice is low and hoarse.
"Silly boy, I'm here and nothing will happen to you!"
Xie Qinghuan raised her chin in his arms.
Looking at him with a smile:
"What if I fail to control the epidemic? What will you do?"
Chu Hanxiao looked into her lively eyes.
Holding her palm-sized face, he gently kneaded her tiny jaw with his thumb.
Don't answer the question.
"You really want to hear it?"
"Of course!"
Chu Hanxiao pondered for a moment and drooped his eyelashes.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I will... massacre the city."
His tone was calm and there was no smile in his eyes.
Even if it's still his face.
He also looked a little sinister because of the viciousness in his eyes.
The evil deeds of the tyrant in the previous life flashed through Xie Qinghuan's mind.
She couldn't help but shudder.
He frowned.
There was a flash of worry in his eyes.
She gave him a hard push.
Angry:
"No nonsense!"
Seeing that she was really uneasy, Chu Hanxiao smiled and comforted her:
"Just kidding, I won't."
But the look on his face just now...
Does this look like a joke at all?
She leaned in his arms, feeling more and more uneasy.
After lunch, Chu Hanxiao went to do official business.
Xie Qinghuan came to find Ling Zizhong.
He is working on a new mask.
When he saw her coming, he didn't say anything, but just sat there in a daze, with worry in his eyes.
He couldn't help but ask:
"what happened?"
Xie Qinghuan sat at the table, resting his chin on his hand.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed and her long eyelashes drooped.
Hearing Ling Zizhong asking.
She hummed:
"Master..."
"Ok?"
She sighed, sitting up straight and looking at him.
"I am afraid……"
"Afraid? What are you afraid of?"
He was not afraid of being struck by lightning while walking on the road!
She is his little mistress, what is she afraid of?
"Ugh……"
She dropped her brows.
Stroking the silk handkerchief in her hand.
I don’t know where to start.
Seeing this, Ling Zizhong put down the mask in his hand and sat over.
Pour her tea.
"Don't sigh. Talk to Master about anything that's on your mind...Master can do anything."
Xie Qinghuan stroked the handkerchief even faster.
This shows that she is very anxious.
But he never opened his mouth.
Ling Zizhong placed the fruit tea in front of her.
He muttered:
"Well...how about, let me guess?"
Xie Qinghuan looked up at him.
Motioned for him to continue.
"I guess... you are worried about the Third Prince."
"Um……"
"I guess again... you're worried about your ending."
Xie Qinghuan sighed softly.
shook his head.
"Yes and no."
"What do you mean by yes and no?"
"I am worried about Chu Hanxiao, but I am not worried about our ending..."
Because she knew that they would be happy in this life!
She's going to give him a bunch of kids!
Grow old with him.
"What I'm worried about is that he will become a tyrant like in his previous life..."
That would be unfair to both the people and the country.
Ling Zizhong didn't expect...
His little heroine and little apprentice is not a young lady from an aristocratic family who only knows how to fall in love.
Instead, she is the mother of a country who truly worries about the country and the people.
Seeing her worry about the world.
He placed his hand on her shoulder in relief.
He tilted his head to look at her, and tried to comfort her seriously:
"Now, my little disciple, you must remember every word I say."
"Um……"
Xie Qinghuan was frightened by his sudden seriousness.
He couldn't help but sit up straight.
Then he heard him say:
“First of all, it’s a foregone conclusion that Chu Hanxiao will become the emperor.
Therefore, whether he has the talent to govern a country or not, you don't need to blame yourself for it.
Even without your participation, he would have become emperor."
Xie Qinghuan thought of his past life.
He nodded slowly.
Ling Zizhong said again:
"Secondly... the reason why he became a tyrant in his previous life was because..."
He paused.
His eyes dodged for a moment.
Xie Qinghuan asked in confusion:
"Because of what?"
He touched his nose guiltily.
He cursed under his breath, what a damn old and broken system.
Then he looked up.
Be evasive.
"Because you didn't love him in your previous life! But in this life, you and he have such a good relationship, he won't turn evil!"
Darkening...
This description is appropriate.
Xie Qinghuan took a deep breath.
"Master is right. If I treat him better in this life, he won't turn evil!"
Her Chu Hanxiao must become a good emperor whose name will be passed down through the ages!
The two were still chatting when Luo Changfeng suddenly came over to her with a heavy voice.
Knocked on the door and asked:
"Ling Siye, is Qinghuan here?"
The sinking tone at the end of the voice made Xie Qinghuan feel uneasy for no reason.
She and Ling Zizhong looked at each other.
He quickly got up and opened the door.
"Big brother, what happened?"
He hesitated.
Glancing at Ling Zizhong.
His face was solemn.
"News came from the capital... The Queen Mother passed away..."
"what?"
Hear the words.
Xie Qinghuan's mind suddenly went blank.
He shook his head hesitantly.
"No... it's impossible. The Imperial Grandmother... has always been in good health. How could it be..."
Even in the previous life, it wasn’t this time…
Her legs felt a little weak.
My heart was beating like a drum and I felt very uneasy.
Luo Changfeng supported her and told her even more shocking news, as if the sky was falling -
"Right now, the Queen Mother has passed away, the Emperor is seriously ill... the eldest prince is the regent."
"Chu Yingji?"
Xie Qinghuan was surprised.
The situation gradually became clear.
Chu Yingji took control of the court while they were away from Kyoto!
"What about the Night King?"
Xie Qinghuan suddenly thought of Chu Zhenye who supported them without hesitation.
He asked with a little concern.
Luo Changfeng's eyes darkened.
Tell it like it is.
"Although it is difficult to move forward, there is no need to worry about life for the time being."
Ling Zizhong also echoed:
"Before Chu Yingji completely sits on the throne, those old guys in the court will not let anything happen to King Ye."
Xie Qinghuan nodded.
Then he asked Luo Changfeng:
"Does Chu Hanxiao know about this?"
"Well, the third one is with him."
"Okay, let's go meet up with him."
As soon as the three of them walked out of the room, Chu Hanxiao, Luo Sanqian and his group came to greet them.
The leading official held the imperial edict in both hands and ran in front with his back hunched.
Chu Hanxiao and Luo Sanqian at the back did not look very good.
It's getting closer.
The Tongzhi adjusted his black gauze hat and shouted at the top of his voice:
"The imperial edict arrives——"
Xie Qinghuan did not kneel.
Staring at him.
The tone is grim:
"May I ask the co-governor! Was this imperial edict drafted by the emperor's uncle or Chu Yingji?!"
The Tongzhi was frightened by her aura at first.
But he straightened his back in an instant.
Previously, his son was beaten by the Third Prince. He asked the Third Prince for forgiveness several times, but he was never able to see him...
In desperation, he surrendered to King Ying.
Find a big tree for shade!
At the moment, it seems that this King Ying is really capable!
He's taking charge of government affairs so soon!
He straightened his back and smiled with a dagger hidden in his heart:
"Miss Xie, please be careful with your words! Now you have to address His Highness as Prince Ying..."
Soon he will be the crown prince, and later...
