The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, just in time to bump into Mu Chen.

"Commander Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I still look good!" Xiao Rui smiled all over his face.

Mu Chen respectfully said: "With His Highness's good words, the last general will be able to stay in style forever, but how can he be compared with His Highness's more handsome demeanor? Under His Highness's dazzling demeanor, the final general will feel ashamed!"

Xiao Rui nodded in satisfaction, and said, "I like to chat with Commander Mu. Commander Mu is an upright person, and what he tells is the truth!"

"Your Highness praised you. When it comes to integrity, even if you flatter me, you can't match His Highness's integrity. I'm ashamed!" Mu Chen waved his hand quickly.

Xiao Rui rolled his eyes and continued: "In the whole palace, if everyone is like Commander Mu, my father will be able to rest easy. Especially Hai Dafu, who has slandered the king many times, and even excluded dissidents! It's too disgusting Already!"

"Eh..." Mu Chen opened his mouth, he didn't know how to answer this time, he couldn't just follow Xiao Rui's words and blame Eunuch Hai.

"What? Commander Mu dare not speak anymore?" Xiao Rui asked intentionally.

Mu Chen hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, I don't know where His Highness learned that Eunuch Hai excludes dissidents, is there some misunderstanding?"

Xiao Rui pointed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and said: "When I returned to the capital this time, I found that Eunuch Zhang, who was holding the pen, was getting more and more emaciated. I guess it was all pushed away by Hai Dafu. Before, there was a female official named Yan Xiaoxiao, who was your majesty's pen-holder. , now that there are no more people, it must be Hai Dafu's work!"

After Mu Chen heard this, he quickly laughed and said, "Your Highness, this matter may be a misunderstanding. Eunuch Zhang suffered from stomach problems, so he couldn't eat, so he lost weight. As for Lady Yan, hey, I accidentally offended the empress, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness the King of Chu said a few good words to the Empress, and it is estimated that they will be handed over to the Inner Court Secretary for serious punishment, and now he is only locked up in the Palace of Female Officials for reflection, which is a blessing among misfortunes!"

"Oh? There is such a thing? How did she anger the Empress?" Xiao Rui raised his brows, no wonder he didn't see Xiao Xiao, and he offended the Empress.

Mu Chen looked around to make sure there was no one there, and then said in a low voice: "When Your Majesty was leaving the palace, Lady Yan bumped into the Empress's guard of honor, and when the Empress sent someone to admonish her, she didn't want to repent and used words to offend her. This act of disrespecting the etiquette in the palace greatly angered the empress, so he was locked up."

Xiao Rui nodded, his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

Empress Zhou Xiangyun, taking advantage of His Majesty's absence, finally couldn't bear the jealousy in her heart, and started to attack Yan Xiaoxiao, why is there no reason to blame her? She is the master of the harem, and if she wanted to make a female official, it would be easy. If Xiao Yiheng, king of Chu, hadn't been coveting Yan Xiaoxiao and defending her, Yan Xiaoxiao would be in danger. A soft little girl is in the harem of eating people. No one knows about being sunk in a dry well.

And now that she is locked up, how will the female officials and maids in the harem treat her? The woman became jealous and made men feel scared. What will happen to Yan Xiaoxiao now?

Xiao Rui let Mu Chen leave, his fist hidden in his sleeve clenched unnaturally. He treated Yan Xiaoxiao as his own younger sister, and was worried about her safety when he left Beijing, but unexpectedly something happened.

Zhou Xiangyun, Zhou Xiangyun, you are the mother of a country, and you don't even have the courage to attack a female official yourself! That being the case, let's have fun with you!

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui immediately turned his head and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When Emperor Xia heard that Xiao Rui had gone and returned, he called him into the palace and asked, "Why are you back?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Father, I haven't gone to pay my respects to the Empress before returning to Beijing. It is not in line with etiquette, so my son came to report to Father, and wanted to go to pay my respects to the Empress!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, took a careful look at Xiao Rui, then nodded, and said with a smile: "You are filial, you really should go and see. This is a trivial matter, you don't need to tell me!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "I seldom enter the harem, I am afraid that I will go in the wrong direction and bump into the empresses. I implore my father to send someone to lead the way."

"Okay!" Emperor Xia nodded and gestured to Hai Dafu.

Soon, Hai Dafu found an accompanying eunuch and escorted Xiao Rui to the harem.

The reason why Xiao Rui sued His Majesty was to avoid suspicion, and also because of his own plan.

After entering the harem, Xiao Rui asked: "Now that the beginning of winter is approaching and the maple leaves are thickening, my lord, I heard that there are many maple trees hidden in the harem, but is it true?"

Wang Gonggong said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Highness, there are indeed several maple trees planted in the harem, especially the one in the Palace of Female Officials. It must be a century-old tree with a thick trunk and luxuriant branches and leaves like a canopy. In this season, the maple leaves bright red."

"Oh, is that so? Where is the palace of female officials?" Xiao Rui asked curiously.

After Wang Gonggong pointed in one direction, Xiao Rui's steps changed direction directly.

"Your Highness, it's wrong, Changchun Palace is there!" Eunuch Wang hurriedly chased after Xiao Rui, not forgetting to remind him.

Xiao Rui is a martial artist, he quickened his pace and the prince couldn't catch up, and said without turning his head: "Oh, is it? The direction is wrong, this king knows it!"

Prince Wang: ...

Your Highness, you know that you are going in the wrong direction, but your steps are still going in the wrong direction, hey, the speed is even faster! I chase!

Xiao Rui stopped in front of the palace of female officials.

In the courtyard, there was indeed a century-old maple leaf tree, red as blood.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Wang Gonggong came after him out of breath.

Xiao Rui stared, and said: "Wang Gonggong, how did you lead the way? You actually led me here! What is this place?"

Eunuch Wang was taken aback, he was so frightened that he even stopped breathing, what could he say? It can't be said that His Highness runs too fast, and the servants can't catch up!

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Rui said comfortingly: "The prince is still considerate. He knew that the king wanted to see the maple leaves, so he brought the king here. Very good, I think there is no one in the palace of female officials at this time, and they should all be in the palaces. Serve. Eunuch Wang, can I admire the maple leaves here?"

Wang Gonggong nodded obediently, and said: "Your Highness should make the decision."

Only then did Xiao Rui enter the palace of female officials.

"My lord, I'm very thirsty, go make me a cup of tea!" Xiao Rui stopped under the tree and said with a smile.

The prince didn't dare to refute, so he could only obediently find a place to make tea.

Although Yan Xiaoxiao was locked in the room, she was still reading and studying. Suddenly, she heard a man's voice from the courtyard outside the door. Then, the man's familiar voice, wasn't it the voice that appeared in her dreams many times?

It's His Highness, His Highness King Xian!

Yan Xiaoxiao panicked, quickly got up and ran to the door, and looked out through the blank space carved on the door.

A hundred-year-old tree with red maple leaves, a handsome young man stood there, when the wind picked up, the leaves fell and fell at the young man's feet, raising his robe.

It's him, it's him, it's him!

Yan Xiaoxiao felt like a dream, never thought that His Royal Highness King Xian would come here in person!

He came to see me! It must be! He knew he had been wronged! So he came to see himself!

At this moment, Yan Xiaoxiao, who had been strong from the beginning, could no longer control the grievance in her heart, and burst into tears.

It turns out that sadness is really only revealed in front of the most valued people.

When Xiao Rui looked around, he also saw Yan Xiaoxiao inside the door. He smiled and stepped forward immediately.

Through the blank space on the door, looking at Yan Xiaoxiao who looked haggard and tearful, Xiao Rui hurriedly said: "Oh, look, what a lovely girl is crying like this! Who bullied you, said, I Help you clean her up!"

Yan Xiaoxiao quickly wiped away her tears, smiled through tears, and asked, "Why are you here, Your Highness?"

"I came here just walking." Xiao Rui said, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and stuffed it to Yan Xiaoxiao.

Yan Xiaoxiao took it, reluctant to wipe away her tears, and held it tightly in her palm.

"The other ladies and maids didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Xiao Rui asked.

Yan Xiaoxiao shook her head and said: "No, don't worry, Your Highness, I will go out in a few days."

Xiao Rui sighed, and said: "Silly girl, are you even going to lie to me? How could these maids and officials not make trouble? Moreover, the queen personally picks things up, and His Majesty is concerned about the dignity of the mother of a country, so she will not come forward to defend her." You. Remember Ye Mei?"

"Ye Mei?" Yan Xiaoxiao was startled, and immediately thought of the good friend she had made when she first entered the palace. She had an inescapable responsibility for her death.

Xiao Rui said: "When I mentioned Ye Mei, I just wanted to tell you that the empress is jealous of your appearance, and was afraid that you would become the second Concubine Virtue, so she did not hesitate to lower her status to deal with you. And the King of Chu, Xiao Yiheng's affection for you, I believe you also understand. The two of them are working together, maybe Ye Mei will happen again. Therefore, waiting is beyond help, and we must attack!"

"Attack?" Yan Xiaoxiao looked at the decisiveness on Xiao Rui's face, shook her head hastily, and said, "Your Highness, no, absolutely no!"

She was locked up, how to attack? The only one who can attack is Your Highness! But Yan Xiaoxiao didn't want to cause His Highness and Queen to be evil because of herself!

Xiao Rui smiled and comforted: "It's just a matter of time."

"Your Highness, the empress is the mother of a country. If you want to deal with her, you will definitely anger His Majesty! No! If Your Highness insists on doing this, then I will kill myself!" Yan Xiaoxiao is also determined, he does not want to drag Xiao Rui down, To threaten with death.

Xiao Rui felt more distressed about this girl, and said with a smile: "I will not do anything to the queen, as you said, she is the mother of a country and the first wife of my father! I am a filial person!"

The last time Xiao Yiheng pretended to be in a coma to assassinate Xiao Lie, His Majesty only punished him slightly, but King Ke Xiaoming poisoned him, but he was directly demoted as a commoner. What does this mean?

You can fight, but your majesty will never forgive anyone who dares to stretch his hand too far!

So Xiao Rui will not hurt the queen physically, but he can hurt the queen mentally!

After planning for Xiao Yiheng for so long, now it seems that he has to do it in advance!

"Your Highness, I'll be fine. You must not put yourself in danger." Yan Xiaoxiao's tears just stopped falling down again.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "How can I be in danger when I am so afraid of death? Just wait here quietly, and you will come out soon!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Rui heard the sound of footsteps, thinking that the prince had come back, he immediately turned and left, and gave Yan Xiaoxiao a bright smile when he went out.

Yan Xiaoxiao watched Xiao Rui leave, leaned against the door holding a handkerchief, worried and surprised at the same time, with mixed emotions in her heart, unable to calm down for a long time.
