Looking for another good match, Hou Menjiaojiao turns around and marries a villain

"Lord Luo," Rong Shen said quietly, "I already know Father's plan."

"But I am still willing to give you a chance to choose."

"If you are willing to hand over your will." Rong Shen raised a faint smile on his lips and said, "Your family and you will be safe and sound. If you are not willing..."

"You know my style."

"My patience is limited, don't keep me waiting too long."

After Rong Shen finished speaking, he waited for a moment and saw that Luo Jun was silent. He raised his feet to leave, but was stopped by Luo Jun.

"Your Highness, wait."

"I said."

Rong Shen turned around and looked at him indifferently.

Luo Jun: "I hid the emperor's will in my belt."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingqiu stepped forward and took off the belt from his waist. He lowered his head and fumbled for a while and then cut it open with a knife. Sure enough, there was a piece of bright yellow cloth hidden inside.

Ming Qiu handed the decree he found to Rong Shen. Rong Shen opened it and scanned it briefly, then chuckled, put it in Ming Qiu's hand, and ordered,

"Let Mr. Luo go."

Zichen Hall is the palace where the Xia emperors of all dynasties lived. It has stood on this land for more than 200 years, accompanying six Xia emperors, and it is about to welcome its seventh owner.

Rong Shen walked on the jade steps, her pure black boots stepping onto the dark and reflective floor of Zichen Palace.

When the palace attendants saw him coming, they all knelt down and knelt down to worship him. Rong Shen stepped over the threshold, walked around the screen, walked to the front of the dragon and looked at the old man on the couch who had frost-white temples.

His clear voice became clearer and clearer in this spacious hall, "Luo Jun has been captured by me, and your will has been intercepted by me."

After he finished speaking, the old man on the couch remained silent, as if he had really fallen asleep.

But Rong Shen didn't care whether the old man responded or not, he continued, "I don't understand, why are you unwilling to give me your country?"

"In terms of ability and means, how am I inferior to others?"

"Would you rather let outsiders enter the capital than let me inherit?"

"Am I not your son?"

When he finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.

Rong Shen suddenly laughed softly, "That's all, if you don't want to answer, that's all."

"After all, I won, and the throne is mine after all."

After he finished speaking, a distant and heavy bell suddenly sounded outside the hall.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom."

Rong Shen smiled and said, "Look, the death knell has been tolling for you outside the palace."

The emperor on the couch finally reacted. He opened his eyes angrily and roared, "I'm not dead yet! What do you want to do?!"

Rong Shen smiled gently from beginning to end, "Then now, please go to hell."

The emperor's eyes suddenly opened wide and he pointed at him with trembling fingers, "You! Are you going to kill your father?"

"What patricide?" Rong Shen said, "Father is seriously ill."

When the death knell, symbolizing the death of the emperor, reached the East Palace, Xie Chunchao raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the Zichen Palace, with a smile on his lips.

The palace people trotted over and said, "Crown Princess, the emperor has passed away. You need to go to the Zichen Palace immediately to attend the funeral ceremony."

"I know." Xie Chunchao turned around and went back to the house to change into a snow-white mourning dress. All the hairpins in her hair were gone, and her black hair was scattered behind her head and was only tied up with a piece of white linen.

The emperor's funeral ceremony is a well-known event all over the world, and the concubines, concubines, clan members, and ministers all go to pay their respects.

Among them, Rong Shen, as the heir, had to kneel before the emperor's soul for three days.

Rongshen is not allowed to eat anything during these three days.

When Xie Chunchao rushed to the Zichen Hall, many people were already kneeling in the hall, and fellow palace officials from the Ministry of Rites had also arranged the funeral ceremony.

The hall was filled with the sounds of sobbing and crying, among which the childless concubines cried the most fiercely.

They may not really be crying for the emperor, but they are crying for their own fate.

When the funeral ceremony is over and the woman is buried, two concubines who have no heirs will be selected to be buried with them.

Xie Chunchao saw Rong Shen kneeling in the first place at a glance, and as Rong Shen's wife, she should naturally kneel next to her husband.

She moved over softly, and then knelt down properly. When Rong Shen saw her, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his eyes became softer.

Xie Chunchao asked, "Are you... okay?"

Although Xie Chunchao also knew during this period that Rong Shen seemed to have a bad relationship with his father, but...

That was his father after all.

The corners of Rong Shen's mouth raised again and he said, "I'm fine."

He said, looking calmly at Coffin Chun in front of him, "I will soon become the true master of Xia Kingdom and sit on the throne."

"I feel good now."

Xie Chunchao always felt that it was not the case.

Although he said good things, the look in his eyes was not happy.

She held Rong Shen's hand and said, "No matter what, I will be by your side."

Rong Shen's hand froze, and then he held it tightly. He murmured in a low voice, "I can fulfill my promise to you soon."

On the third day after the emperor's death, Rong Shen held a coronation ceremony in the Zichen Hall.

From then on, he became the legitimate Emperor of Xia, and his restless brothers were completely pinned down in the cradle.

He enthroned Xie Chunchao as his empress and granted her residence in Kunning Palace, and Liangfei was promoted to the empress dowager and granted her residence in Cining Palace.

Xie Chunchao moved from the East Palace to the Imperial Palace. Her palace is Kunning Palace, which is closest to Zichen Palace. However, it has been half a month since she moved into the palace, and she only took a look on the day she first entered the palace. Since then, she has been with Rong Shen. Live in Zichen Palace.

The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to add another chair to the Zichen Hall where he discussed politics, saying that he would rule the world with the queen.

This undoubtedly caused another stir, but under Rong Shen's high-pressure pressure, this decree was still resolutely implemented.

After all, when he was the prince, everything he wanted to do was impossible. Now that he is the emperor, how many people in the world can stop him?

When Xie Chunchao appeared in the court for the first time, the atmosphere in the entire court was stagnant and heavy, as if it was even more painful than the last time the emperor died.

But Xie Chunchao was eager to come quickly and had already anticipated their attitude, so she sat on the chair prepared for her by Rong Shen with a normal expression.

An old man with a gray beard came out of the queue and said, "Your Majesty, this is against the harmony of heaven!"

"Since ancient times, how can there be any reason for women to appear in the court? Isn't this Si Chen?!"

"Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

Rong Shen's expression was already very impatient. He looked down at the people below and said coldly, "This has not happened since ancient times? Then I will set a precedent today."

"When I proposed to the Chu Kingdom, I said that I would rule the Xia Kingdom together with the Queen. Do you want me to break my trust to the Queen, to the Chu Kingdom, and to the people of the world?!"

Rong Shen has never been a kind and easy-going emperor. From the time when he was the crown prince, the ministers had understood. Now seeing Rong Shen's resolute attitude, everyone is hesitant.

I don’t know if I should advise or not.
