Chapter 218 Tunnels
"The Queen's position..." Hubu Shangshu hesitated, "What should I do?"

"Naturally, it will be with the succession ceremony." The queen looked at Hubu Shangshu with sarcasm in her eyes, "Will Mr. Hubu still want to let your unworthy daughter-in-law take the place of daughter-in-law?"

Hubu Shangshu was caught by the Queen's words, and immediately retorted with a guilty conscience, "Empress Empress, I just wonder if the Crown Princess succeeds as Queen, will she be unconvincing?"

Bai Susu raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't expect to hear the Hubu Shangshu say these words when she came here today, "The Hubu Shangshu said, what kind of woman can be worthy of the position of queen?"

Tang Jianshan stood still, looking up at Shangshu Hubu with disdain in his eyes.He always wanted to push his daughter to a high position, but he didn't think about it, her daughter was worthy.

"Naturally, he is talented, gentle and virtuous." Hubu Shangshu said respectfully.

"In terms of talent, gentleness and virtuousness, it is impossible for the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu." Bai Susu looked at the Hubu Shangshu with a half-smile, "I am a princess, but I can't be a queen. Hubu Shangshu wants the crown prince to divorce me before he ascends the throne?"

Under Bai Susu's questioning, Hubu Shangshu's heart beat wildly, and immediately knelt down tremblingly, and bowed to Zhou Ximing, "Your Highness, I have no such intention."

"If Mr. Hubu didn't have that intention, he wouldn't be in trouble like this again and again." Tang Jianshan looked over leisurely, with a decent smile on his face, with obvious irony.

Although the other ministers also thought about stuffing their daughters into the harem, they never had the idea of ​​being a queen.As long as the queen protects this, the crown prince favors it, and the crown princess herself has talents, which her own daughter cannot compare to.

Zhou Ximing saw that things were almost progressing, held Bai Susu's hand, and said solemnly: "For the peace of the Crown Princess, I have decided alone. After ascending to the throne, I will only live with the queen and abolish the harem!"

When the painting fell, there was an uproar in the court.

They thought that the prince would reprimand the Minister of the Household Department in order to protect the princess, but they didn't expect that the harem would be abolished directly!
"Your Highness, think twice before acting." The ministers knelt down in unison, trying to make Zhou Ximing change his mind.

"Gu has not succeeded to the throne, so you are thinking about Gu's harem here?" Zhou Ximing looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground, "Or do you all want to resign and return to your hometown?"

The ministers below did not dare to say anything, and deliberately ignored this topic.

After the court meeting was over and she returned from the palace, Bai Susu realized something was wrong belatedly.

She looked at the person beside her who closed her eyes and meditated, took his hands, and narrowed her eyes slightly, "You asked me to go to the court meeting today, do you have some conspiracy?"

"Then madam thinks I have some plans?" Zhou Ximing held Bai Susu's hand instead and asked casually.

"The Minister of the Household Department repeatedly said that the position of Crown Princess and Empress is due to what the husband has done behind the scenes, making him think that he can plot it?"

Those who can sit on the position of Minister of the Ministry of household affairs will not be so dull.If you want to talk about why he violated the taboo again and again, it must be someone who fanned the flames behind his back.

And whether this matter is successful or not, it seems that it is only more powerful to Hubu Shangshu himself. If there is another guess about external power, then only Zhou Ximing himself is contributing to this matter.

"Madam is smart." Zhou Ximing nodded with a smile, "I did it on purpose."

Bai Susu knew Zhou Ximing's intention. He wanted to get rid of all these hidden dangers before ascending the throne. She chuckled lightly, "Aren't you afraid that you will regret it later?"

"I won't regret it." Zhou Ximing embraced her whole body, "Never regretted it."

The first half of Zhou Ximing's life was like a glass of bitter wine. He thought he would spend the rest of his life with bitter wine, but suddenly he saw someone who took the bitter wine from his hand and gave him a glass of sweet wine.

No matter what, he won't let go.

Bai Susu also felt very lucky to have met such a beloved man.

"It's just that when I enter the palace in the future, I will often leave the palace to manage the shop." Bai Susu looked up at him, "This will not change."

When Bai Susu chatted with the queen before, she noticed many constraints.She didn't want to give up what she was doing now because her identity had changed, and be locked up in the palace where the sun never came.

In that case, she would not be Bai Susu.

"No." Zhou Ximing knew the worry in her heart, "I will give you a token to enter and exit at will, and it will not restrict your actions."

Hearing Zhou Ximing's words, Bai Susu couldn't help laughing, "You pamper me."

"It's not conniving." Zhou Ximing said seriously, "It's knowing what you do, which is as important as me."

Just like during this period of time, there was no food shortage in various places because Bai Susu used his own advantages to let food flow into each city continuously, so that the people could eat and prevented a riot.

The day before the abdication ceremony, the emperor on the sickbed found out about it.No matter how much unwillingness and anger he has, he can't change the ending.

What's more, now the emperor's every move is monitored by the empress, and there is no chance for him to resist.

During the abdication ceremony, the emperor was temporarily fed dumb medicine, and put on the dragon robe for the last time, and was half supported and half supported to a high position.

He struggled desperately to stand up and leave, but his body was held down tightly by an eunuch, unable to move at all.

I can only let the eunuch read out the edict of abdication, watch the old Zhou put the crown on Zhou Ximing's head, and listen to the courtiers in the audience pay respects to the emperor and the emperor. Many years ago, the emperor also experienced this matter.How happy he was then, how resentful he is now.If he had known earlier, he should have put Lao Zhou in prison and killed this man!

The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and passed out on the high position.But the eunuch standing next to the emperor didn't say anything, he had already put his hand on the emperor's shoulder, pretending that he was still sitting upright.

The people around also ignored and kept silent, allowing the abdication ceremony to proceed safely and smoothly.

Under the stage, all the courtiers knelt down at the same time, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to Zhou Ximing, welcoming the new emperor to the throne, and the scene was full of joy.

When the grand ceremony was held, the queen had already dragged Bai Susu to a secluded place in the harem.

This is a bamboo forest, and there is nothing unusual about it.The queen led Bai Susu through the bamboo forest and came to an extremely secret place.

"This is a secret passage. Through this, you can go directly to where the shadow guard is." The queen said, hugging some of the bamboos, and moved them away to reveal the secret passage inside.
