The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 403: Be bold, be shameless

In the dead of night, Xiao Rui did not expect to meet unexpected people.

Zhang Ruoxi actually came.

Since returning to Beijing, Xiao Rui has only seen her once, and he saw her when he was cleansing himself. Later, as he got engaged to Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue, the relationship between the two seemed to suddenly become distant, and they became ordinary friends.

At this moment in the hall, Guo Jia brought her back and left, Xiao Rui didn't understand the meaning of Guo Jia's winking, but quickly said courteously: "Ruoxi, come and sit, I'll pour you tea and snacks No, if you want to eat fruit, I will order my servants to fetch it!"

Seeing Xiao Rui busy pouring tea, with a concerned expression on her face, which does not have the airs of a prominent prince, ripples appeared in her pretendingly calm heart.

"Your Highness, you are welcome. Liu Ying and Ruoxue are engaged to His Highness, and they cannot come to see him in person, so I entrusted me to visit His Highness's injury." Zhang Ruoxi's tone was flat, her face calm.

According to the tradition of the Great Xia Kingdom, after the marriage contract is made, the men and women must abide by the etiquette and cannot meet each other. Of course, if the man is thick-skinned and shameless, such as Xiao Yan, he can still go to the woman's house after setting a wedding date.

Hearing that Zhang Ruoxi's answer was that she was entrusted by others and seemed to be alienated from herself, Xiao Rui felt a little bit fucked up.

Guo Jia has been urging himself to take down Zhang Ruoxi and gain the support of Zhongyonghou, but judging by Zhang Ruoxi's attitude, he has no habit of grabbing the husband of a girlfriend at all. Don't you know that the husband of a girlfriend is the most fragrant?

Being so estranged, Xiao Rui didn't know what to do, so he blamed Guo Jia for this matter, and made trouble for himself for any bad idea.

Xiao Rui came back to his senses, patted the bandaged arm, and said truthfully: "I'm not injured, I just pretended to be injured to hide it from my father, but I didn't expect so many people to come to visit after hearing the news, which caught me off guard!"

Zhang Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and said: "It's okay, Liuying and Ruoxue can rest assured. It's just a crime of deceiving your majesty, so be careful not to leak it out."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "I just said that the arm was injured, I didn't mention the specific injury, so there is room for it. Even if His Majesty finds out, I can still say that Hua Tuo's medical skills are superb."

"The winter hunt will be held in a few days. Your Highness pretended to hurt his arm. Could it be that he doesn't want to participate in the winter hunt?" Zhang Ruoxi had a flexible head and immediately guessed Xiao Rui's intentions.

Xiao Rui didn't say anything about his plan, but said: "Winter hunting is not interesting, so I don't want to participate, it's better to sleep at home!"

"Oh" Zhang Ruoxi responded.

Immediately, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the living room was a bit awkward.

After a long time, Zhang Ruoxi got up and said, "It's getting late, I should go back. I came out without telling my father."

"I'll ask the guard to take you back! It's so late, I don't worry." Xiao Rui also stood up.

Zhang Ruoxi quickly shook her head and said, "No way!"

Xiao Rui frowned and asked, "Why not?"

Zhang Ruoxi bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said: "In the middle of the night, Your Highness sent someone to escort me back. If anyone with a heart sees me, I'm afraid I'll think wildly and spread rumors. It's not good to spread rumors. Your Highness is already married. I still stay in my boudoir, gossip is not good for anyone!"

At the end, although Zhang Ruoxi's tone was calm, Xiao Rui could hear the resentment.

"Then I will send experts to follow you, so that I can rest assured." Xiao Rui said firmly.

Seeing that Zhang Ruoxi couldn't escape, she could only nod her head.

Xiao Rui called Li Yuanfang and escorted Zhang Ruoxi away.

As soon as they left, Jia Xu and Guo Jia came in.

"Your Highness, how is the situation? Is the person captured?" Guo Jia asked.

Xiao Rui covered his forehead and said helplessly: "Feng Xiao, you really think I'm Hu Shu Bao, women can't leave me?"

Guo Jia was taken aback, and asked, "What is Hu Shubao? This person's name is a bit weird, how is it sacred?"

Xiao Rui opened his mouth, expressing that the generation gap across time and space is an irreparable distance.

"It's the treasure that all women need, not people." Xiao Rui gave a popular explanation.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are thin-skinned. Miss Ruoxi has a crush on you. If you are bolder and shameless, maybe she won't have to go back home tonight."

Xiao Rui immediately looked at Guo Jia with wide eyes, and finally understood what he meant by winking.

Is this how he gave himself a plan?

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu also brushed his beard and said with a smile: "It's reasonable to obey filial piety, but Your Highness is still too shy! If you don't take the initiative, Your Highness, you can't let other girls take the initiative! If Your Highness wants all the women he likes, there will be no escape." The courage in the palm of your hand!"

Xiao Rui:

Guo Jia failed in school, and Jia Xu was even worse.

"Next time, next time!" Xiao Rui could only politely decline.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu just gave up.

"Feng Xiao, Mr. Wen He, judging from today's situation, Xiao Feng doesn't mind me being injured and not participating in the winter hunting. Could it be that our deduction is wrong, even if this person has a conspiracy with Huo Xingye, it is not against me?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu said: "Let's wait and see, it's better not to target His Highness. It's easy to hide a spear with an open gun, but it's hard to defend against an enemy's tricks in secret!"

Guo Jia said: "Perhaps it is because Duan Wang's palace is extremely deep, so it is not certain that he will borrow someone else's hands!"

Xiao Rui nodded, and decided to continue pretending.

For the next few days, Xiao Rui stayed quietly in the mansion, and the New Year's Eve would arrive in a blink of an eye. The recent period of time is so busy that Xiao Rui doesn't feel like celebrating the new year. Take advantage of these few days to enjoy the stability of the Chinese New Year.

pay a New Year call……

keep the year old...

Xiao Rui spent this peaceful year in ease.

In a flash, it was the third day of junior high school.

There was only one day left before Dongshou, just when Xiao Rui thought he and the others were worrying too much, the King of Chu Xiao Yiheng unexpectedly came.

Xiao Rui met him personally.

"Why is Second Brother coming to my house when you have time?" Xiao Rui asked curiously.

Xiao Yiheng cut to the chase and asked, "Does the seventh brother still remember our agreement?"

Xiao Rui nodded, "Of course I remember! Let's cooperate, I will help you deal with Xiao Jing, and you tell me the identity of the person involved in the death of my mother and concubine. I just didn't expect Bai Huhou to be in trouble suddenly after returning to Beijing. I thought The cooperation between my second brother and me ended without a problem."

"Of course it can't end without a problem!" Xiao Yiheng looked at Xiao Rui, gritted his teeth and said, "Our good eighth brother caused me to lose my reputation, how could I let him go? If it were the seventh brother, would you take revenge?"

"Second brother has a real temperament." Xiao Rui smiled, but did not answer him face to face, and then asked: "So the second brother came today to tell me the plan? How should we deal with King Jing?"

Xiao Yiheng said: "Isn't it Winter Hunting tomorrow? This is the last activity before I leave Beijing, so I want to take revenge in Winter Hunting. I came to see Seventh Brother today to see how the injury on your arm is? Can't participate in the winter hunting?"

Xiao Rui was startled, then smiled, then pretended to move his arm, and said with a smile: "Although there is still some pain, it should not affect the hunting, but the grades should be a little worse. So the second brother wants me to participate in the winter hunting? "

Xiao Yiheng nodded, and said, "Of course, doesn't the seventh brother want to know who has something to do with Concubine Rong's death?"

"Okay! Then I have to go to the palace to report to His Majesty today, saying that my injury is almost healed." Xiao Rui showed a determined look, and then asked: "Second brother, how are you going to deal with King Jing? How do I do it?"

Xiao Yiheng smiled and said, "I'll tell my seventh brother in detail when I arrive at the hunting ground tomorrow!"

Xiao Rui didn't continue to ask, and personally sent Xiao Yiheng away.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia rushed over after hearing the news, and after listening to Xiao Rui's narration, they looked at each other and immediately smiled.

Jia Xu said: "Sure enough, as Feng Xiao guessed, King Duan is borrowing someone else's hand, but unexpectedly it will be King Chu!"

Guo Jia nodded, and he said: "King Duan is able to persuade the King of Chu to lobby, and he must have offered something that the King of Chu can't refuse. The thing that the King of Chu can't refuse now is to help him stay in the capital." , and the second is to tell him something so that King Chu has to cooperate with him to deal with His Highness together!"

Jia Xu continued to analyze and said: "It is impossible for King Duan to help King Chu stay in the capital, so the first possibility is not great, so there is only the second possibility. It seems that King Duan inspired King Chu to treat us. His Highness’s hatred, that’s why he let him cooperate with him. What is the biggest hatred of the King of Chu now? His loss of power is one, and his reputation is the second! The biggest reason for his loss of power is because Bai Huhou colluded with the enemy and treason, even King Duan's methods are all-powerful, and he will never find out the truth. Then there is only the second thing, it seems that King Duan has found out the relationship between His Highness and Zhang Yizhi, so King Chu knows that Xiao Jing is just a pawn, and the person who really harmed him is His Highness!"

After hearing this, Xiao Rui thought Jia Xu's speculation was very possible!

"Mr. Wen He has sent people to get rid of Zhang Yizhi, and our relationship with Zhang Yizhi is rarely known. Could it be that Zhang Yizhi revealed it himself?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jia Xu said: "It is very possible! We can control the news around us, but Zhang Yizhi has been staying in the Chu Palace. Although he was warned and threatened not to mention his friendship with His Highness to anyone, so as not to be hated by the Chu King, time It's been so long, it's hard to guarantee that he didn't slip up."

Xiao Rui nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly shouted: "No! Isn't Li Xiuer in danger? After all, Zhang Yizhi was brought into Chu Palace by Li Xiuer. If the King of Chu finds out that I have something to do with Zhang Yizhi, then he must suspect Li Xiuer and There is a connection between me!"

"That's right!" Jia Xu and Guo Jia agreed.

Xiao Rui immediately called Lu Xian.

Lu Xian was a master of light kung fu recruited by Xiao Rui when he served as an escort in the martial arts examination. Xiao Rui immediately arranged for Lu Xian to go to Jingyuan to tell Li Xiuer about the situation, and let her leave Jingyuan and return to Li's mansion, and beware of Xiao Yiheng's revenge.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Lu Xian immediately left the Prince Xian's Mansion.

Xiao Rui continued to discuss with Guo Jia and Jia Xu.

"It seems that I am the one that Prince Duan wants to deal with! But I don't understand, he has been hiding his clumsiness, not to let the prince relax his vigilance, but to hide from His Majesty, why?" Xiao Rui asked in surprise.

Guo Jia analyzed: "King Duan opened the mansion at the age of twelve, it was naturally not his idea at that time, it must have been the idea of ​​his mother Concubine Mu and Duke Ying, who wanted to hide from His Majesty, and did not want His Majesty to see King Duan. The city is so convenient for King Duan to hide his ability, so what secret do these two people have that make them so careful of His Majesty?"

"Could it be that King Duan was not born to my father?" Xiao Rui couldn't help doubting.

Jia Xu smiled and asked, "Your Highness, do you think it's possible?"

Xiao Rui also laughed, other emperors are very likely, but now His Majesty is so powerful, if he can't even look down on his own woman, it would be a shame.

"Then why?" Xiao Rui was very curious.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, their eyes flickered, and they didn't say much.

It seems that the two extremely smart people must have guessed, but now they are hiding it from Xiao Rui and have not said it.
