The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

In the early morning, the sun shines through the clouds and enters the quaint county town of Lanling. Li Yuanfang rides into the city on horseback under the morning glow.

I asked about King Ruyang's old house, which was located in the northwest corner of the county. It was a quiet and huge manor, where Xiao Quan and Xiao Qingqing lived.

Li Yuanfang rode over and looked at the tall gate. He stopped in front of the gate, then patted his cheeks, and couldn't help sighing: "It's time to perform acting skills again. Hey, if your majesty knows about it afterwards, I don't know what will happen." Won’t kill me, big treason, big treason.”

Thinking of the empress's plan, Li Yuanfang couldn't laugh or cry.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yuanfang immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Boom..."

After a while, the door officer opened the door and poked his head out, glanced at Li Yuanfang, and asked, "This strong man, who are you looking for?"

Li Yuanfang's expression immediately became serious, and he took out a token and said: "I come from the imperial capital of Zhongzhou, and I was ordered to see the Duke, you use this token to report, it is extremely urgent, report quickly!"

As soon as the servants asked to see Mr. Zhao, they didn't dare to be careless and rushed to pass the message.

Xiao Quan has already woken up and is doing morning exercises in the garden. He followed Xiao Rui back then, and he has developed a good habit of morning exercises under the influence of his ears and eyes. Even though he has changed from Gao Quan to Xiao Quan, and he is ranked as the Duke, this habit has not changed. .

At this moment, the door official hurriedly asked for an interview and presented the token to Xiao Quan.

"Come from the imperial capital of Zhongzhou?" Xiao Quan quickly received the token, and after seeing it, he rushed to the gate of the mansion immediately.

When I went out, I saw that it was Li Yuanfang.

"It really is General Li!" Xiao Quan was overjoyed and said hastily.

Li Yuanfang forced a smile on his face, and then said: "Your officer Li Yuanfang will meet Duke Ming!"

"Don't give such a great gift, get up quickly, and walk into the mansion." Xiao Quan hurriedly dragged Li Yuanfang into the mansion, and at the same time arranged for the servants in the mansion to clean up and prepare the luncheon.

Li Yuanfang's expression was serious, and he said: "My lord, I can't stay here for a long time, I have to go back after I finish speaking, it's a big deal, hey..."

Xiao Quan was taken aback, and immediately asked, "What happened?"

Li Yuanfang sighed, "It's a secret."

Xiao Quan nodded, dismissed the servants immediately, and then personally led Li Yuanfang to the living room to discuss.

At this time, there were only two people in the hall.

Li Yuanfang handed Li Xiu'er's letter to him, and said: "This is a letter from Concubine Qing ordered me to send, sir, please read it."

Concubine Qing is Li Xiuer, Xiao Quan is not close to Li Xiuer, how could she send a letter?

Unable to understand, Xiao Quan opened the letter, and after reading it, he looked astonished.

"General Li, can this be done? This is a crime of treason and immorality, and your head will be lost." Xiao Quan said.

Li Yuanfang also said helplessly: "Of course I understand, but Concubine Qing has taken full responsibility for this matter, Your Majesty will not blame her, and the Lord doesn't want Princess Lanling and His Majesty's lover to finally get married?"

"Of course I do. It's just that my acting skills are far inferior to General Li's. I'm afraid of revealing my secrets. Just now, General Li's nervous and dignified expression really scared me." Xiao Quan joked.

Li Yuanfang was a little embarrassed, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I was also forced."

Xiao Quan nodded, then looked at the letter again, and said solemnly: "I will handle this matter properly, please rest assured, Concubine Qing!"

Li Yuanfang got up to thank him, and then said: "Then I will retire."

Xiao Quan hurriedly asked to stay: "Don't rush to leave, at least have a lunch."

"If you can't eat, you won't be in such a hurry after eating. I'd better go back and report to you." Li Yuanfang laughed.

Xiao Quan didn't force him to stay, so he personally sent Li Yuanfang out of the house. At this time, the faces of the two were full of sorrow and full of heart.

When Li Yuanfang entered the mansion, Xiao Qingqing was watering flowers in his small courtyard, and his personal servant girl hurried over and shouted: "The princess, the princess, the emperor is here, and the master is going out of the mansion to greet you. It seems to be a high official!"

Xiao Qingqing's tender body froze, and then hummed.

Over the years, she has become more elegant and refined, perhaps because of her self-cultivation, she has shed her former savagery and become gentle and peaceful.

"Princess, why don't you go and have a look? What if His Majesty sent you!" the personal servant girl couldn't help asking.

Xiao Qingqing smiled and said: "I have elder brother to receive me, so don't worry about it."

"However, I seem to be traveling alone, and I came here alone. I just quietly asked the servant next to the master, and the servant said, the man who came said that there was something big, with a sighing expression on his face, it might be some kind of disaster !” Said the personal servant girl.

Xiao Qingqing was taken aback. Although she pretended to be calm, she couldn't calm down when she heard that the emperor was coming.

"Mother should be awake, I'm going to greet you!" Xiao Qingqing said suddenly, and then got up and walked out of the house, but it was obvious that she needed to go around in the direction she looked, and she happened to pass the living room.

When they came outside the teahouse, they happened to meet Li Yuanfang and Xiao Quan, and the three of them happened to meet.

Li Yuanfang was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized, and hurriedly saluted: "Li Yuanfang pays homage to Princess Lanling!"

Xiao Qingqing didn't expect to bump into him directly, she hummed and said, "Huh? Why is General Li here? When did he arrive?"

"Just arrived, it's not been two quarters of an hour." Li Yuanfang replied.

Xiao Quan at the side sighed, and said: "Sister, General Li is leaving soon, hurry back!"

Xiao Qingqing was puzzled, and asked: "Leave as soon as you come here, brother, we have to be good landlords!"

"I think so too, but Li Yuanfang is in a hurry to go back, Your Majesty..." Xiao Quan stopped talking abruptly at this point, then sighed vaguely, and did not continue.

Xiao Qingqing's heart trembled, His Majesty, what is he? What's wrong?

Li Yuanfang clasped his fists and said, "Princess Lanling, I'm going to retire first. It's nothing, but I have other tasks!"

"Yes, yes, there are other tasks. Don't worry, it's fine." Xiao Quan immediately added.

Xiao Qingqing nodded, but she didn't stop her, but she knew that something must happen to His Majesty, her heart fluttered suddenly, and she couldn't concentrate.

After seeing off Li Yuanfang, Xiao Quan turned around and wanted to return home.

Xiao Qingqing couldn't hold back after all, and asked: "Brother, Li Yuanfang came here in person, what's the big deal?"

Xiao Quan said uncharacteristically: "It's nothing. His Majesty called me to Beijing for an audience. It's a trivial matter. You stay at home and take good care of your mother. I pack my bags and have to leave tomorrow."

Xiao Qingqing was even more puzzled. Her mother and Xiao Quan had been instructing her all the time to let her go to Beijing, but this time Xiao Quan didn't say a word about letting her accompany her to Beijing. What's going on? Are you afraid of going to Beijing by yourself? What is he hiding?

"Okay!" Xiao Qingqing replied.

Xiao Quan rushed to make arrangements immediately, changed his calm attitude in the past, and kept urging his servants to prepare their bags and horses.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Qingqing was even more convinced that something big had happened, and she kept it from herself.

Afterwards, Xiao Qingqing went to see her mother. Princess Ruyang also heard that Li Yuanfang had come, but she had already left. She was puzzled and asked, "What happened?"

"My daughter doesn't know." Xiao Qingqing replied.

Princess Ruyang ordered someone to call Xiao Quan immediately, and asked: "Xiao Quan, how could you let General Li go? We haven't even fulfilled our friendship as landlords, so it's not good to spread the word!"

Xiao Quan explained: "Mother, Li Yuanfang has important matters to attend to, so she left in a hurry."

"What happened?" Princess Ruyang asked.

Xiao Quan glanced at Xiao Qingqing intentionally, and said, "Li Yuanfang didn't say anything, and only asked my son to face the saint."

And this deliberate look was seen by Princess Ruyang, and naturally Xiao Qingqing also noticed it.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted casually, Xiao Qingqing pretended to have something to do, and left first.

"Xiao Quan, Qingqing is gone, can I talk now." Princess Ruyang asked anxiously.

Xiao Quan peeked out the door secretly. If the younger sister really left, the plan would fail and she would have to eavesdrop.

However, Xiao Quan searched around, but did not find Xiao Qingqing, and did not know whether she had eavesdropped, so he could only continue to act according to the plan, and the next step was to deceive his mother. At that time, from her mouth, it can also be passed on to Qingqing.

Xiao Quan brewed for a while, and began to explode his acting skills. He looked sad and said: "Mother, Li Yuanfang came here in person day and night, talking about a disaster, a big disaster!"

"What disaster?" Princess Ruyang asked hastily.

Xiao Quan squeezed out a few tears, and said sadly: "Your Majesty has contracted a strange disease since your imperial conquest came to Qin. Even Hua Tuo couldn't cure it. Now his health is getting worse and worse. Why is Your Majesty so anxious to unify China? He just wants to fulfill his long-cherished wish before he dies. Mother, aren’t you surprised? Why are most of the political affairs handled by the cabinet now, and His Majesty is no longer doing it himself? This is because His Majesty’s body is hard to hold on .Recently, His Majesty's health is getting worse and worse, so he urgently called me into the palace. At the same time, he asked us to conceal this matter, and we must not mention it to Qingqing."

"How is it possible!" Princess Ruyang suddenly stood up with an expression of disbelief.

Cursing His Majesty's imminent death, Nima, this is definitely a serious crime, Li Xiuer's scheme is also poisonous enough, even her own man will not be spared.

Xiao Quan said sadly: "Mother, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Who dares to say that there is no such thing as disease! Moreover, it is a crime of treason and injustice. Who dares to mess around? Children don't dare, and Li Yuanfang doesn't dare .”

"Then you should let Qingqing know about this matter, let Qingqing accompany you to the imperial capital!" Princess Ruyang said.

Xiao Quan said: "Your Majesty knows that the time is not long, so I don't want my sister to know. I am even more reluctant to meet you. Now the situation of Your Majesty is hidden from the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. Only a few cabinet scholars know. , it may have something to do with the candidate for the crown prince, so the child will leave for the imperial capital tomorrow, and I have to ask my mother to help conceal this matter."

Princess Ruyang nodded and sighed deeply.

After leaving the room, Xiao Quan was quite satisfied with his acting skills.

It's just, did my good sister eavesdrop?

I'm dying of anxiety.
