The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Ever since King Xiao Yiheng of Chu was assassinated and died, Queen Zhou Xiangyun was hit hard. She was depressed and locked herself in the Changchun Palace all day long. Later, she even handed over the management of the harem to the imperial concubine.

It wasn't until some time ago that she came out of her grief, but she became a lot more low-key, lived in a simple place and didn't care about trivial matters, and she didn't treat other concubines as coldly as before.

Now, the empress came to the East Palace suddenly, which really surprised everyone.

Xiao Rui was surprised, but the next thought was that the queen was a tempter sent by the messenger behind the scenes?

After this idea came into being, Xiao Rui frowned. It shouldn't be, the king of Chu is dead, who else can the queen serve for? Could it be that she is just a pawn?

Xiao Rui looked at His Majesty, His Majesty has to decide this kind of matter, he just sit down honestly.

Compared to Xiao Rui's puzzlement, Emperor Xia was very straightforward: "As long as I am dead, act as you please, and if you can't stop it, take her to see the corpse. In a word, since this scene has started, let's do it well." Performance!"

"Yes!" Xiao Mingying, Li Mingyang and Zhuge Yuanba replied.

Then Zhuge Yuanba went out.

At this moment, outside the East Palace, Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao stopped the queen. These two men are men who kill all directions on the battlefield.

Look, the queen was so angry that she pointed at the two of them and cursed: "Presumptuous! Is the prince like this? You are so unreasonable and rude, you can actually serve as the prince's personal guard, and the prince is too lazy. Get out of the way! My palace is Come to see His Majesty!"

Dian Wei quickly envied evil, calling him rude is okay, but saying that His Highness is not good at protecting people, this is something Dian Wei can't accept, seeing the queen's small body, I really want to pick it up and throw it out, but in the end, thinking about it, I'm still cute for the sake of my head A little bit.

"Without an order, if you can't enter, you can't enter." Dian Wei repeated.

"That's right!" Li Cunxiao nodded in agreement.

The two, one on the left and the other on the right, were like door gods. The queen was so angry that she trembled. As the mother of a country, she had never been so angry!

As expected of the former King of Xian, as expected, he is defiant after becoming the crown prince!

At this moment, Zhuge Yuanba rushed out. Seeing the conflict in front of the palace gate, he glanced at Li Yuanfang who was hiding in the corner watching the play, and couldn't help sighing, oh! I have to wipe my ass again!

So he walked over in three steps and two steps, cupped his hands and said: "The humble Zhuge Yuanba pays his respects to the empress!"

Zhou Xiangyun saw that it was Zhuge Yuanba, and immediately shouted: "Commander Zhuge, I ask you, what is the crime of offending me?"

Zhuge Yuanba laughed and said, "Don't be angry, empress, these two are also following orders. Your empress is the mother of a country, so don't worry about it."

"Listen to orders, whose orders are you listening to? The prince?" Zhou Xiangyun asked.

Zhuge Yuanba slowly spit out two words: "Your Majesty!"

Zhou Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that it was impossible for him to make things difficult for these two people, but when it came to His Majesty, Zhou Xiangyun thought of the purpose of coming here today, so he asked: "I heard that His Majesty came to the East Palace yesterday. He also stayed in the Eastern Palace, and was even absent today in the early court. It seems that there is a treasure in the Eastern Palace, otherwise His Majesty would not be so nostalgic. This palace has an urgent matter and needs to see His Majesty, Commander Zhuge, after you reported it, what did His Majesty say?"

"Reporting to your majesty, your majesty said that you have to be busy, please go back to the harem first, after this time, you will go to Changchun Palace." Zhuge Yuanba kept his majesty's instructions in mind, if your majesty really died, then he would Acting, the prince is not awake, and the queen cannot know the real situation for the time being.

Zhou Xiangyun's complexion immediately became unkind. It's fine to stop him with two sticks, but the imperial guards will also stop him. This really doesn't take him as a queen seriously!

"This Palace is urgent. I must see His Majesty now, even if I can simply say a few words outside the door. Even if Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, you can still spare this time." Zhou Xiangyun asked coldly.

Zhuge Yuanba cupped his hands and said: "Please don't embarrass the humble official! The humble official also obeys orders."

Zhou Xiangyun was completely furious, and shouted: "According to orders? Zhuge Yuanba, whose orders are you obeying? After His Majesty came to the East Palace yesterday, the palace gates were suddenly under martial law, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. This matter is strange. Now the East Palace is more It is heavily guarded, and no outsiders are allowed to enter. Your Majesty is not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, not in the Imperial Study Room. He is busy with things in the East Palace. Does it make sense? If you don’t make it clear, I think that the prince is collaborating with Zhuge. Imprisoned His Majesty! I have not forgotten that the crown prince is the niece and son-in-law of Commander Zhuge!"

When Zhuge Yuanba heard this, although he was furious inside, he still smiled and said: "My empress taught me that I dare not forget my identity in a humble position, so I invite my empress to return to the palace."

Zhou Xiangyun took a step forward, and shouted: "Today, this palace is going to enter the East Palace, let me see who dares to stop it!"

bass…

Good guy, Dian Wei actually pulled out his sword. Although only part of it was pulled out, the sharp blade also reflected chill.

Zhou Xiangyun condensed his head in anger, and shouted: "Okay! I want to see if the prince's personal guards dare to kill me today!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Xiangyun went straight forward.

Zhuge Yuanba backed away immediately, and stretched out his arms to stop Dian Wei and Li Cunxiao, really afraid that these two people would do something wrong.

Just when the situation was tense, Zhou Wang Xiao Mingying and the chief minister of the cabinet Li Mingchong rushed out, and the two of them clasped their hands together and said: "See the empress!"

Zhou Xiangyun was not surprised by the two of them appearing, she returned the salute to Xiao Mingying, and then said with a smile: "Brother Huang is also here, it seems that something important happened in the East Palace, so Brother Huang and Master Li are here at the same time."

Xiao Mingying laughed, and said: "Whether it is a big matter or a small matter, His Majesty makes decisions. We are all people who obey orders and understand the rules. Your Majesty has worked hard to manage the affairs of the harem, so you don't have to worry about things in the East Palace. "

The implication is that the harem must not interfere, no matter where it comes from.

However, Zhou Xiangyun couldn't be driven away by these words. Zhou Xiangyun said: "I have a major event, I need to see His Majesty face to face, this palace is the mother of a country, and your Majesty will not disappear when the event is urgent. But the emperor and others always stop me Palace, what exactly do you intend to do? What if I want to enter the East Palace to meet His Majesty today?"

Facing Zhou Xiangyun's toughness, Xiao Mingying looked embarrassed, and couldn't help making eye contact with Li Mingchong beside him.

"Ming Chong, my acting skills are not bad, is there anything I've revealed?"

"My lord, your acting skills are the second best in the world! I admire you! It will definitely arouse suspicion in your empress's heart."

"No. 2 in the world? That's right, His Majesty's acting skills are unmatched!"

"Yes, too!"

The eye contact between the two fell into Zhou Xiangyun's eyes, which made her unswervingly want to go in.

However, she could also see that although Xiao Mingying was deeply troubled, her attitude was still very firm, so Zhou Xiangyun suddenly said: "My lord, can I take a step to speak?"

Xiao Mingying nodded, and followed Zhou Xiangyun a step further.

Zhou Xiangyun said coldly: "Your Majesty, I heard that His Majesty was assassinated? That's why the palace gates are under martial law. Is there such a thing? If you continue to hide this from me, I will definitely break into the East Palace today. If Your Majesty is fine, I will be punished." His Majesty scolded, but if what I guessed is true, Lord Zhou, do you think you can afford the harem?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Mingying's body trembled suddenly.

Xiao Mingying was overjoyed, the urination tremor came at a damn good time!

With this miraculous skill of trembling, Xiao Mingying's acting has reached a very deep level. He blinked his eyes to express the panic in his heart, licked his lips with his tongue, and didn't know how to express it, and put his hands restlessly on both sides of his legs Friction, nowhere to put.

"Prince Zhou, I don't want you to become Daxia's sinner!" Zhou Xiangyun continued to add.

These words seemed to speak to Xiao Mingying's heart, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhou Xiangyun with some impertinence, then staggered, sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, please follow me!"

Zhou Xiangyun was overjoyed and finally convinced Xiao Mingying.

But back in front of the East Palace Gate, Zhuge Yuanba and Li Mingchong still blocked it, Xiao Mingying raised her brows angrily, and shouted: "Which of you two can make the decision? Who can make the decision!"

Li Mingchong and Zhuge Yuanba sighed, and could only step aside.

Afterwards, Zhou Xiangyun entered the East Palace.

This was Zhou Xiangyun's first time entering the East Palace. A long time ago, she had fantasized many times that her son would be in charge of this place, and she would come here for free, and her life would be perfect. But now, my precious son is dead, the Zhou family is finished, and I have nothing.

Touching the scene, Zhou Xiangyun's eyes were reddish, but soon, she put away her sadness because she saw the dead silence in the East Palace.

And following Xiao Mingying's guidance, Zhou Xiangyun came to a master bedroom, Hai Dafu and Yan Xiaoxiao were both in this category, but they both knelt beside the bed, Yan Xiaoxiao was better, with her head down, unable to see her expression. Hai Dafu actually burst into tears, weeping bitterly.

Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong really want to give a thumbs up. When it comes to acting skills, why did they forget about Hai Dafu? Look at this crying scene, just now they were smiling and crying immediately. The rhythm is well grasped. .

As for Zhou Xiangyun, his eyes were already on the bed, and he saw Emperor Xia lying there, motionless.

"emperor!"

Zhou Xiangyun wailed, and was about to pounce on her. Yan Xiaoxiao hugged her quickly, and said, "Ma'am, please be sorry..."

Hai Dafu also persuaded: "Madam, please mourn, His Majesty has already died."

Zhou Xiangyun only howled but did not shed tears, and his eyes were not very sad, but fixedly stared at Emperor Xia's face, which was indeed pale and colorless, and it was indeed a symptom of being dead for two days.

"Get out of my way, I don't believe His Majesty will die!" Zhou Xiangyun shouted.

Only then did Yan Xiaoxiao let go, but Zhou Xiangyun regained her composure after being blocked in this way. She reached out and stretched out her finger to test His Majesty's breath, but she did not breathe.

Dead, really dead!

Zhou Xiangyun staggered and almost fell, then she turned her head to look at Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong, and shouted: "Xiao Mingying, Li Mingchong, you two are so brave, your Majesty's death is so big, and you conceal it. What do you want to do! Usurping the throne? Also, why did His Majesty die?"

Hearing these words, everyone except Xiao Mingying knelt on the ground.

Xiao Mingying sighed: "Empress, Your Majesty was assassinated and killed. The murderer was Lu Zhi, the daughter of Uncle Mingyi, a female official of the Eastern Palace. She poisoned His Highness the Crown Prince and pretended to be seriously ill. When the Majesty came to visit, she suddenly assassinated her! This girl is skilled in martial arts. Gao Qiang, another close-range assassination, the masters around His Majesty did not respond at all! His Majesty was seriously injured by the assassination, and soon... died."

"After his death, Li Yuanfang, the guard of the Eastern Palace, quickly notified the king and Lord Li. After discussing with Lord Li, I decided to temporarily conceal the matter and seal the gate of the palace."

Zhou Xiangyun said coldly: "This is the reason why Prince Zhou concealed it? If it wasn't for my palace, how long would Prince Zhou have to hide it? Besides, His Majesty's death is too strange! I suspect that someone intends to rebel, where is the crown prince?"

Obviously, Zhou Xiangyun suspected that the crown prince planned to usurp the throne.

Xiao Mingying sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince... the crown prince's time is numbered."

"What?" Zhou Xiangyun was dumbfounded when he heard it.

Afterwards, Zhou Xiangyun was brought to the next bedroom, and saw Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue standing by the bed with tears in their eyes, and Xiao Rui lying on the bed seemed to be wandering.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is in critical condition, and he probably won't be able to live tomorrow. I originally hoped that the Crown Prince would wake up and take charge of the overall situation, but now the possibility is extremely low. Once the Crown Prince dies, the country will have no heir, and it will definitely move, so this king and Mr. Li After discussing it, I deliberately concealed it, and I have not had time to report it to the empress." Xiao Mingying explained.

Zhou Xiangyun immediately understood Xiao Mingying's concealment intention.

Now that His Majesty has passed away and the Crown Prince is in a coma, if this matter is made public, the court will definitely move. So they have to wait, wait a few days, if the crown prince dies, then Xiao Mingying will have no point in concealing it, and will summon important officials to report to the queen, and re-select the crown prince to inherit the throne.

This is the prudent behavior of Xiao Mingying and the chief minister of the cabinet, and it is for Daxia's foundation.
