At the court meeting the next day, the ministers once again played Yuan Yin's decision to carefully consider Li Nan's decision, but Yuan Yin's attitude was still irreversible, and he even left the Xuanzheng Hall in anger, leaving only a group of courtiers with astonished expressions.

Looking at Xiao Rong's calm look, Wei Wei'an couldn't help but stand in front of him and looked at Xiao Rong with an angry look: "What have you done! What face do you have to stand in this court! In vain for me, Wei Wei A certain has always regarded you as a confidant, but you lured His Majesty to do such a thing, in vain for you to study the sage books, and now you do such a dirty thing!"

Facing the prime minister's furious anger, Xiao Rong still dealt with it calmly, looking at his furious appearance, and looking at the officials in the palace, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with me? I'm not a grass, how can I be ruthless?" .”

"But you are wrong to be emotional. Why do you choose Your Majesty, a good girl who is so big in the world? He is the same man as you, and he is also the Lord of the world. Do you know what you are doing!" Wei Weian looked at Xiao Rong That unrepentant look made him even more furious.

But Xiao Rong remained unchanged: "If the emotion is moved, it is moved. Is there still a distinction between men and women?"

"That won't work either, Brother Xiao, Master Xiao! Your Majesty is the master of the world, and he still wants to spread his branches and leaves for the royal family. He can't be the master of the harem!" Wei Wei'an glared at Xiao Rong, persuading him earnestly, But Xiao Rong raised his eyes, met his gaze and said:

"Your Majesty is willing to risk the disapproval of the world for me. If I shrink back now, I have really failed his great love. If you want me to fail him, you might as well kill me first."

Xiao Rong's tone was resolute, and he didn't care that all the officials in the court walked away in a huff, it only provoked the expressions of anger on the faces of all civil and military officials in the court. Only Xu Zheng, with deep thoughts, looked at Xiao Rong's back and firm steps , couldn't help but a wry smile.

If King Qi is as determined as Yuan Yin, maybe he will be like Xiao Rong, and take over the world for him alone, but King Qi puts more emphasis on power, and he may not be able to do what Yuan Yin did to Xiao Rong.

In Taiwei's mansion, just as Xu Zheng returned home and sat down, Shuo Yue brought out tea and put it in front of him, staring at his furrowed brows, unavoidably worried: "My lord's brows are deeply furrowed, it seems that he has something on his mind."

Xu Zheng drank his tea, raised his eyes to look at Shuoyue and said, "Suoyue, how stupid do you think a person must be to dare to trade the world for another person, and would rather risk the disgrace of the world for this person."

"Isn't your lord the most understanding? Why do you still ask me?" Shuo Yue smiled, and stood behind Xu Zheng with her arms folded, looking at him.

"I always understand best, but this time I don't understand, I think I'm jealous." Xu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, with dark eyes: "I used to not be jealous, I know he has me in his heart, he Establishing a concubine and marrying a princess have all said that the most important position in my heart is me, but now seeing His Majesty's appearance, I feel that I am jealous."

"Your Majesty, he is so stupid. What kind of person is there in this world? He would even quarrel with courtiers because of a man. Sir, isn't that in line with your wishes?" Shuo Yue stood in front of him, knelt down and looked up at him:

"Because the master's connections in the court have been eradicated one after another, how much blame have you received, my lord, isn't it an opportunity for His Majesty to be at odds with the courtiers now?"

Xu Zheng stared at Shang Shuoyue's deep eyes for a long time before asking, "Are you jealous?"

"Jealous? I think I will." Shuo Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response: "Every time you are intimate with Master, I will be jealous."

"I know what he loves most is power. To him, I may be a pawn, but what can I do? I'm not reconciled. He gives me the illusion, but he never says he loves me, and he won't act like Your Majesty is also fighting for his own reasons. He keeps saying that it is for my own good. Only by achieving the world's hegemony can I be safe. In contrast, Your Majesty is much more magnanimous. He loves that man and will fight for everything for him. , I'm really jealous." Xu Zheng clenched his fists, every word seemed to touch his heart, his eyes were red, but he never let the tears fall.

"You still have me." Shuo Yue shook his hand and said seriously.

"But you are not him!" Xu Zheng shook off his hand and said, "Xiao Rong is right in saying that he is not a grass, how can he be ruthless, yes, I am not a grass, how can I not be jealous."

"My lord, if you want, I will take you back to the Western Regions, and we will never come back again." Shuo Yue looked at Xu Zheng's red eyes, and squeezed his hand again: "I don't ask for anything, I just want you."

Xu Zheng looked at Shuo Yue's eyes gradually turning cold, stretched out his hand and pushed him away and said, "Who do you think you are, I'll go with you, I can't betray him."

Looking at Xu Zheng's appearance, Shuo Yue couldn't help but sighed, and was about to speak when Xu Zheng ordered: "Write a letter to Luo Chen, just say that I'm sick, and want him to come back and see me."

Shuo Yue froze for a moment, then nodded in response, watching Xu Zheng get up and walk towards the study in the backyard.

Because Yuan Yin has been unwilling to let go of the matter of establishing a son, the courtier tried to persuade Xiao Rong to no avail, and was turned away when he went to Zhen Guogong's mansion to look for him.

Therefore, the next morning, the courtiers did not enter the Xuanzheng Hall, but knelt down in unison in the open space in front of the hall, begging His Majesty to withdraw his order.

In the Ganlu Palace, Xiao Rong and Yuan Yin were sitting opposite each other. A military deployment map was placed in front of them. Yuan Yin's face was dark, and even Xiao Rong's expression was not very good-looking. Standing beside him were Zhan Feng and Cao Shi. He also nodded and lowered his eyebrows, not daring to speak.

The servants who served also quit the palace one after another, and even Xiao Luzi had a sad face. Hearing the news from the previous dynasty, Xiao Luzi was also worried. He always knew that Yuan Yin was very sensible, but He couldn't understand why Yuan Yin would do such things that angered the courtiers this time.

However, the four people in the palace had different expressions. Yuan Yin frowned deeply and said: "This Huben army guards the capital. I also gave the position of Huben Zhonglang to my brother-in-law before. I am not afraid of the safety of the capital. There are also 2 imperial troops, plus the well-trained Xuan Ce army, there are also 500 people, so the palace is also safe and sound."

"However, my Xiao family's army has been stationed at the border all year round and cannot be transferred away. The Marquis of Jin is also a veteran in the battlefield. Your Majesty should not underestimate it." Xiao Rong also said.

"I know this, but what I'm thinking now is that the fact that I want to establish a male empress is making a lot of noise in the court. I really hope that his people can send a letter to him, asking him to seize this opportunity." Yuan Yuan Yin succeeded in smiling, and then put away the military defense map.

"What if King Qi doesn't fall for it?" Xiao Rong was unavoidably worried.

"If he is not fooled, I have a way to lure him back to the capital. As long as someone else is in the capital, the Marquis of Jin will be leaderless, and then we can defeat him." Yuan Yin is confident and confident.

However, Xiao Rong was still a little worried. Now Yuan Yin was antagonizing the courtiers by taking advantage of Li Nan's incident, and now the courtiers knelt outside the Xuanzheng Hall and begged him to take back his life. This matter is such a big trouble, I only hope that it can be resolved perfectly in the future That's good.

"By the way, Cao Shi." Yuan Yin turned his head and called out.

Cao Shi immediately stepped forward with cupped fists: "The humble job is here."

"After this incident in Beijing, someone will definitely inform King Qi. After you leave the palace at this moment, bring my token to connect with the hidden line in Mulan Town. You must ensure your safety and contact Zhanfeng at any time." Yuan Yin reached out and handed a jade tablet on the table to Cao Shi's hand, and instructed with a serious expression.

"A lowly official takes orders." Cao Shi quickly saluted after taking the jade plaque with both hands.

Yuan Yin looked at Zhan Feng again and instructed: "In recent days, there will definitely be rumors in the capital, Zhan Feng, you lead people to control the direction of the rumors in secret, and you must not hurt Mr. Xiao, do you know?"

Zhan Feng raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Rong, then clasped his fists in salute, and agreed.

"Your Majesty's complexion is not very good, you might as well rest for a while, and the minister will leave first." Looking at Yuan Yin's slightly tired appearance, Xiao Rong couldn't help but speak first.

Yuan Yin nodded, got up and walked towards the bedroom, closed the door, leaving only the three of them to exit the Ganlu Hall.

In front of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, Xiao Rong's carriage had just stopped, Bai Shu quickly jumped off the shaft and removed the stool to wait for Xiao Rong to get off the carriage.

However, Xiao Rong saw another simple decorated carriage parked in front of the mansion. Although Xiao Rong was suspicious, he never stepped forward until the curtain of the carriage was lifted and Luo Chen got out of the carriage and walked towards Xiao Rong. Come here, bow respectfully and salute:

"Brother Xiao, come here and be safe."

At this time, Luo Chen was no longer as weak as before, and his brows and eyes were full of fortitude. Although his body was still thin, his demeanor was not the same as before. Perhaps after becoming an official, people will change accordingly.

"Luo Chen, when did you come back?" Xiao Rong's expression did not change, and even his tone was neither salty nor weak.

Luo Chen had known his intentions a long time ago, so he was naturally acceptable to him, so he couldn't help but curled his lips and said with a smile: "I just arrived in the capital today, and I heard something at the market, so I came here to meet Brother Xiao."

Xiao Rong naturally knew what Luo Chen said, and his eyes softened unconsciously, but in Luo Chen's eyes, it was extremely ironic. When he rejected him, he said so impassionedly. , rather than love for children, in the end it was just rejecting his rhetoric.

"Why don't you come into the mansion and sit down, you are full of dust and dust, I will take care of you." Xiao Rong invited.

"No need, brother Xiao is the future empress, how can he be promoted in the next small county magistrate, if brother Xiao doesn't dislike it, let's see you at the old place, don't care about your status, just drink to your heart's content, how about it?" Luo Chen invited with a smile.

Xiao Rong lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Since Brother Luo invited me, there is no reason for me not to go."

After getting Xiao Rong's answer, Luo Chen didn't say anything more, he just clasped his fists and bowed to him, then turned around, got into the carriage and left first.

And Xiao Rong looked at the back of his carriage, turned around and gave Bai Shu a wink, Bai Shu immediately understood, and then waited for Xiao Rong to get on the carriage and followed Luo Chen.
