After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

Chapter 159 Shu Rong succeeds to the throne

In the morning of this morning, Shu Xiu asked his father-in-law to read out the imperial edict and announced to the world that Shu Rong would succeed him as the new king of Xuan Zhe. Since there was no prior discussion with the ministers, everyone in the court was shocked. Fortunately, Shu Rong had followed his father in the north and south since he was a child, and he was considered to have outstanding military achievements. In addition, he was Shu Xiu's only son, so it was a logical thing.

Although it was surprising, it was also expected. It's just that I came a little early. At first, Shu Xiu wanted to wait for Shu Rong to ascend the throne before announcing the personnel transfers himself, but he was afraid that there would be no time, so he simply announced another imperial edict, appointing Duo Shan as King Pingnan to guard Xuanzhe and Kyoto. His son Dohe followed his father to the border area.

In order to show the great favor of the emperor, Shu Xiu married his younger brother Yiya, the daughter of the King of Shu, to Dohe, and the two married on a different date. The ceremony for Shu Rong's succession will be held three days later.

Rongruo and Shen Tingyu came all the way without even seeing Shangguan Qing in person, and they felt a little aggrieved indeed.

"Tingyu, do you think what Shu Rong said is true or false?" Rong Ruo looked at Shen Tingyu in confusion and asked.

"I don't think there is any need for him to tell lies, but if your young lady really loses her memory, then Mei Xichen will be really miserable." Shen Tingyu shook her head and sighed.

"Then what should we do now? How should we explain to the prince when we go back?" Rongruo asked again.

"We can't control this matter, let them solve it on their own. After all, Shu Rong was the one who married your young lady, and it was Shu Rong who went through all the trouble to save her after the last calamity failed. Mei Xi What else can Chen do? It's just to raise troops to attack Xuan Zhe and calm down the anger in his heart." Shen Tingyu told Rong Ruo her opinions one by one.

"What's more, did you listen to what he just said? No matter what, it's impossible for him to return your young lady to Mei Xichen. Your young lady has completely forgotten everything about the past. She even remembers Mei Xichen. It's terrible, what else?" Shen Tingyu continued to add.

"You have said so much in your long words. Now if we go back, should we tell the prince about this?" Rong Ruo was in a dilemma at this time.

"I see, let's just pretend not to know. Don't you want the two countries to go to war quickly?" Shen Tingyu looked at Rongruo, held her hand and walked away.

After going to court, Shu Rong returned to Tianhua Palace and quickly told Shangguan Qing the good news.

"Qing'er, what are you busy with?" Shu Rong came to the bedroom and saw Shangguan Qing playing with the flowers he picked.

"Why is the prince so happy today?" Shangguan Qing greeted him with a smile.

"I want to tell you that today in the court, my father announced that I will succeed the king in three days. By then, you will be Xuanzhe's queen. Are you happy?" Shu Rong stroked Shangguan Qing's face, excited. looked at her and said.

"Oh, no wonder you are so happy? I don't care if I am the queen or not, as long as I can be with you forever, I will be satisfied." Shangguan Qing's bright eyes flickered towards Shu Rong.

"I know Qing'er doesn't care about this, but I want the best for you, so in Xuanzhe, of course I want you to be the mistress of the world." Shu Rong took Shangguan Qing's hand and motioned for her to sit down. Down.

"By the way, Qing'er, I will tell my mother-in-law the news soon. When the ceremony is held in three days, I also hope that she can see your canonization ceremony."

"Okay, everything is up to you." Shangguan looked at Shu Rong affectionately and nodded in agreement.

Three days later, the new emperor's succession ceremony officially began, and the queen's canonization ceremony was also in progress at the same time. The whole hall was filled with joy. Surrounded by people, Shu Rong finally became the king of a country. He and Shangguan Qing came to the main hall hand in hand and sat on the throne that his father could usually sit on.

All the ministers of His Highness knelt down and worshiped. The sound was deafening and resounded throughout the entire hall.

Of course, since Shu Rong is already the king of Xuan Zhe's country, and Shangguan Qing must be announced to the world after becoming queen, then how can this news reach Mei Xichen's ears, but it is only a matter of time. .

Since everyone knew about the relationship between Mei Xichen and Shangguan Qing, even when the Ministry of Rites received the letter from Xuanzhe, Mr. Chen, the Minister of Rites, responded to it on his own after discussing it with Shen Tingyu, and never dared to inform Mei Xichen. However, this You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever.

On this day, Mei Xichen came to the palace to find the fake emperor, and suddenly heard several young eunuchs in the palace muttering something furtively.

"Have you heard? King Xuanzhe has abdicated, and the new king is the Prince Shurong who came to our court a year ago." One of the young eunuchs said softly.

"Yes, I also heard that the queen is the original concubine of Prince Mei." Another young eunuch continued.

"You don't know. It seems that Xuanzhe is different from us. They are monogamous. Who doesn't know that regarding the issue of the princess, Prince Mei has been thinking of ways to bring the princess back. It is probably difficult now. I think Ah, the uncooked rice has already been cooked." Everyone had different opinions, and the whole thing was almost put together.

Mei Xichen roughly understood what was going on, so he angrily turned around and returned to his palace.

"Come here, call Master Shen over here." Mei Xichen frowned at this time, with a very stern expression. He seemed to know that Shen Tingyu was deliberately hiding it from him.

After about a cup of tea, Shen Tingyu came to his study.

"Your Majesty, why are you so anxious to see me?" Seeing that Mei Xichen's expression was wrong, Shen Tingyu restrained her usual laxity and bowed to Mei Xichen respectfully.

"Shen Tingyu, let me ask you, a few days ago you said you asked for leave for something, where did you go?" Mei Xichen went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"I have something to do at home and haven't gone out yet." Shen Tingyu also wanted to deceive her, so she deliberately evaded her words.

"I sent someone to your house. The housekeeper said that you and Rongruo went out. I want to ask you, where did you go?" Mei Xichen walked to Shen Tingyu step by step, facing Mei Xichen seriously and fiercely. Shen Tingyu didn't dare to look at him at first, but lowered her head slightly.

"Why don't you dare to look at me directly, or are you hiding something from me?" Mei Xichen grabbed Shen Tingyu's collar and stared at Shen Tingyu fiercely and shouted angrily.

"Rong Ruo and I are going... we are going..." Shen Tingyu was held by Mei Xichen's hand and was a little breathless.

"Say." Mei Xichen squeezed out a word through her teeth.

"This is what happened." Shen Tingyu told everything about how he and Rongruo went to Shangguan Qing but were rejected. He also informed Mei Xichen of the contents of Xuanzhe's letter received by the Ministry of Rites yesterday.

After hearing this, Mei Xichen suddenly felt the world spinning and pushed Shen Tingyu several meters away.
