The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Li Xiuer was sleeping peacefully. In her dream, she dreamed of a little villain, with a wicked smile on her face, walking towards her step by step.

Boom boom

The hasty knock on the door suddenly woke Li Xiu'er up.

Li Xiu'er was in a daze. When she woke up suddenly, the scene in her dream was still vivid in her mind. She blushed, shook her head hurriedly, and asked, Who?

Ma'am, the steward of the front yard came to report just now, Mr. Zhou Mingfa asked to see you! He is waiting in front of the mansion right now. A servant girl's voice came from outside the door.

Li Xiuer frowned, why did Xiao Yiheng's second uncle rush over at this hour? She immediately thought of Xiao Yiheng pretending to be unconscious, could it have something to do with it?

She was secretly vigilant, but then she thought of Xiao Rui's reminder to keep herself out of the matter, so she put on her clothes and went to the gate of the house.

Uncle, it's so late, why did you come in such a hurry? Seeing Zhou Mingfa, Li Xiu'er bowed and asked.

A smile appeared on Zhou Mingfa's serious face, and he said, I dreamed at night that King Chu's poison was getting worse. After waking up, the more I thought about it, the more worried I became. So come and see him. If he's fine, I'll go back and take a look and feel relieved.

Li Xiu'er naturally didn't believe this, but said: Uncle cares about His Highness, if His Highness wakes up, he will be very touched. Uncle, I will take you there.

Zhou Mingfa said, No need, it's hard work for you to take care of King Chu, go back to sleep earlier, let someone take me to have a look, I'll go back if I'm fine. Also, I ran out during the curfew, so don't say anything about it. , the people in the mansion should also warn me to avoid being known by the censor, and I have to be impeached again, one more thing is worse than one less thing.

Don't worry, uncle, then I won't accompany you. I'll order someone to take you there. Li Xiu'er yawned deliberately, expressing fatigue, which fit Zhou Mingfa's rhetoric.

Afterwards, Li Xiu'er ordered the maid to take him to Xiao Yiheng's bedroom where he was resting.

In the underground secret room, Xiao Yiheng was talking with a middle-aged woman. He had just finished self-examination, and he would not be so aggressive in the future to prevent his advantage from becoming a disadvantage. There were footsteps in other passages, and a man in black appeared.

Your Highness, Mr. Zhou Mingfa, the left servant of the Criminal Department, has come to the mansion and is walking towards your room. The man in black said.

Sure enough, the passages connecting this hall all lead to other locations in Chu Palace. And these men in black are the most hidden power in Xiao Yiheng's hands, not even the confidantes of Wang Fu's face know it.

Under normal circumstances, they all hide outside, but this time Xiao Yiheng used this power for the sake of planning.

Why is he here? Xiao Yiheng asked in surprise, and he looked back at the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman also frowned, and said: Yes, His Highness declared that he was unconscious. Why did he come here in person at such a late hour? Could it be that he knew that His Highness was pretending to be unconscious?

The man in black said: Your Highness, the villain dare not approach, for fear of attracting the attention of the guards and imperial troops, so I did not understand the purpose of Mr. Zhou's coming here.

The middle-aged woman asked: Your Highness, have you seen?

Xiao Yiheng hesitated.

If he doesn't see you, just go up and continue pretending to be unconscious. But Zhou Mingfa is his uncle, the backbone supporting his superiority, and if he suddenly comes to see him at this time, there must be a big event, because Xiao Yiheng has never seen him in such a hurry, if he doesn't see him, it will be troublesome if he delays the big event?

Behind him is his grandfather Xi Guogong, who is involved in many things.

Moreover, considering that I still have to pretend to be in a coma for several days, if I don't let Zhou Ming know that I'm fine, and comfort my grandfather and the others, if Xiao Lie takes the opportunity to spread rumors that he won't wake up, he won't wake up within four days. In five days, there will be a voice of discussion, and cracks will appear in the situation that he has finally occupied.

After all, all civil and military officials support him, without his backbone, how can he talk about support?

See! Tell him the situation, let him not worry, help me maintain the situation in the court, and prevent King Jin and other princes from making dirty tricks! Xiao Yiheng said.

The middle-aged woman pursed her lips. She originally wanted to suggest that Xiao Yiheng should not see him, continue to pretend to be unconscious, and spend the next few days, but considering Xiao Yiheng's worry, she didn't speak.

After making up his mind, Xiao Yiheng immediately went back to the room. He had just gone to bed and lay down when the door was opened.

Only Zhou Mingfa said: You all wait outside, look around carefully, and don't let anyone approach you.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Mingfa entered the room, closed the door, walked to the bed in the bedroom, and said in a deep voice, There are no outsiders, get up! You are such a fool, you dared to advance so aggressively, and even planned to assassinate King Jin!

Xiao Yiheng was still on the bed pretending to be unconscious, but when he heard Zhou Mingfa's words, he sat up suddenly and said in shock, Uncle, where did you hear that?

Where did you hear it? You wrote me a letter yourself, you are confused! Zhou Mingfa finished speaking, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Yiheng.

Xiao Yiheng hurriedly opened the letter paper, and upon seeing it, he found that the handwriting on the paper was 90% similar to his own, and it was no problem to deceive Zhou Mingfa.

As for the content of the letter, Xiao Yiheng was even more astonished.

The paper wrote: Uncle, I pretended to be in a coma due to poisoning, and secretly sent someone to assassinate King Jin. Now that His Majesty knows the truth, I withdraw the imperial physician as a punishment. It is estimated that I will pretend to be in a coma for a few days, lest there will be accidents, I specially invite my uncle Shimo to come and discuss important matters.

Who gave you this letter? Xiao Yiheng asked in shock.

A man in black gave me that attire, isn't that the subordinate you recruited, what kind of organization. And you wrote the letter yourself, is it fake? I didn't believe it at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt it was true. Now it really is. It's true! Zhou Mingfa sighed, and said: You are a dignified prince and a son-in-law, why did you do such a thing, now that His Majesty knows about it, naturally there is something in your heart, you are self-defeating!

However, Xiao Yiheng hurriedly said: I did not write this letter. I am in a coma during the day and wake up at night. Even the cronies in the mansion keep it hidden from me, just because I am afraid that there will be spies bought by outsiders, and I will guard against spies from the East Factory. It's safe. I can't figure out how my father knew about my plan, and now uncle, you got a letter with fake my handwriting, it's not good, we fell for it!

A trick? You're so careful, who else can guess your plan? And what kind of trick is it? Could it be that you're pretending to be unconscious? Besides, why did you ask me to come here? Zhou Mingfa also frowned, full of anger. Confuse.

At this time outside the gate of the mansion.

Zhongyong Hou Zhang Jinfu personally brought the elite patrol battalion soldiers to the Chu Palace, controlled Zhou Mingfa's carriage, and found unknown poison and a letter from the carriage.

And beside Zhang Jinfu, there were Jin Wang Xiao Lie, and Zhou Wang Xiao Mingying, the Zongling of the clan's mansion.

The soldiers presented the poison and letters they had found to Zhang Jinfu, and Zhang Jinfu passed them on to Xiao Mingying, saying, Your Majesty, you should have a look.

Xiao Mingying nodded.

As soon as he fell asleep at night, he was disturbed by Xiao Lie who came in a hurry. When he met him, he said with certainty: The assassins who assassinated the king of Chu and himself were all assigned by Zhou Mingfa, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and begged him to make the decision.

Xiao Mingying was stunned on the spot, and asked: Zhou Mingfa is the uncle of Prince Chu, how could he assassinate his nephew? Besides, where did you know all this?

Xiao Lie explained in this way, and said: The assassins who assassinated my nephew in the early morning were not ten, but actually eleven. One of them was hiding in the dark, and when he saw that the assassination failed, he ran away quietly. But this person panicked and was discovered by a master in my family , followed quietly, and saw him return to Zhou Mingfa's mansion and meet Zhou Mingfa. The uncle and nephew know that this cannot be regarded as evidence, and it may be slander when it comes to the father. However, His Majesty sent Chu The imperial doctor of the palace was transferred away. Uncle, didn’t you notice the strangeness? My father knew everything, and knew that Xiao Yiheng was not stunned by assassination poison, but by his own people. Zhou Mingfa’s heart was vicious, and even the king of Chu planned it , is to get rid of the suspicion and at the same time order an assassin to assassinate me! That's why my father punished the King of Chu and transferred the imperial physician away!

Uncle Huang, please make the decision for my nephew and accompany my nephew to the Chu Palace. The assassin failed to kill my nephew last night. Zhou Mingfa must wake up the king of Chu. Now is a good time to get the stolen goods!

After finishing speaking, Xiao Lie bowed and stood up.

Xiao Mingying also noticed something wrong with His Majesty's withdrawal of the imperial physician, but she never thought that it was the king of Chu who was in a coma. After all, there are so many imperial physicians, how could it be possible to pretend. But now with Xiao Lie's exposure, he has to suspect that if it is true, then the purpose is to assassinate Xiao Lie!

Xiao Mingying took a deep breath and knew that the matter was serious.

In addition, Xiao Lie's rhetoric made too many mistakes.

He concluded that it was Zhou Mingfa's instigation just based on the follow-up by the masters in the government? Do you firmly believe that Zhou Mingfa will go to the Chu Palace tonight to detoxify the Chu King?

Uncle Huang, please go to the Palace of the Prince of Chu with your ministers. If there is such a thing, please ask Uncle Huang to be a personal witness. If not, it is my nephew's guessing error. My nephew was frightened and became a frightened bird. I will enter the palace tomorrow to plead guilty. Xiao Lie said earnestly.

Xiao Mingying sighed, when it comes to the slaughter among the princes, as the Zongling of the Clan Mansion, he must come forward, and Xiao Lie has said so, let's go and see.

After Xiao Mingying agreed, he left his palace only to find out that Xiao Lie had also called the Marquis Zhongyong, and only then did this scene gather in front of the Chu Palace.

Xiao Mingying came back to her senses, opened the search and found a secret letter.

The content of the letter is very straightforward, it reads:

Master Zhou, the assassination failed. Please arrange for me and other members of the organization to leave the capital as soon as possible. Everyone in the East Factory has already noticed our traces. Be quick. Yang.

Xiao Mingying received the letter well, he felt that he was deeply involved in the vortex, so it is better not to judge arbitrarily, today's matter will definitely cause trouble to His Majesty.

So, he said to Zhang Jinfu: Master Hou, let's go in and have a look.

Mrs. Zhang Jin ordered someone to knock on the door.

According to the time calculation, Zhou Mingfa had just entered Chu Palace, Xiao Lie and others arrived, so before Li Xiuer returned to the room, he was hurriedly told by his servants on the way, saying that King Jin, King Zhou, and Marquis Zhongyong were here. up.

Li Xiu'er realized that something important had happened, so she turned back to the front of the mansion.

Uncle Huang, His Royal Highness Prince Jin, Lord Hou, why are you here? Li Xiuer asked in surprise.

Xiao Mingying asked: Princess Chu, did Zhou Mingfa go to see the King of Chu? He came here in the middle of the night, did he say anything?

Master Zhou just walked in, the three of them arrived. He said that he dreamed that his husband was not in good condition, so he came here to come and take a look and then go back. Li Xiu'er said.

Xiao Mingying and Zhang Jinfu looked at each other, Zhou Mingfa really had a problem! It's so late, and you came to see the King of Chu just because of a dream? Could it be that what Xiao Lie said is true, that the assassination of the King of Jin was unsuccessful, so he hurried to detoxify and rescue Xiao Yiheng tonight?

Jin Wang was secretly happy, but his face remained calm, and he hurriedly said: Uncle Huang, Lord Hou, let's go there now, and we will definitely catch you on the spot!

Xiao Mingying nodded, and then said to Li Xiuer: Can we go and see the King of Chu?

Li Xiuer hesitated for a moment.

If she turns into anyone, she will definitely not agree, because this is Chu Palace! King Chu's private residence, not to mention Marquis Zhongyong, even King Jin would not dare to break into it. Although Li Xiuer hated Xiao Yiheng, she knew how to measure it.

However, the person who came was Xiao Mingying, he was the patriarch of the clan's mansion, and he was also an emperor's uncle. He wanted to see Xiao Yiheng, how to stop him? Moreover, before Xiao Yiheng fell into a coma, he did not order outsiders to be prohibited from entering the mansion.

Uncle Huang can come here in person, of course. So Li Xiu'er did not refuse everyone to enter the mansion.

Xiao Mingying nodded, and then said to Li Xiuer: Princess Chu, please let the guards and imperial troops who are patrolling in the palace of Chu stay in place, and no one is allowed to report the news. Lord Hou, you should know the room where the king of Chu rests. You can take people forward. Let's take a step.

Okay, I will order people to go with Lord Hou, and no one will stop me. Li Xiu'er replied.

Yes! Zhongyonghou immediately clasped his fists together, and hurried into the mansion with a steward arranged by Li Xiuer.

At the same time, in a room near the gate of the mansion, there is a man in black hiding, who is the dark man arranged by Xiao Yiheng.

When he saw someone entering the mansion again, he peeped secretly, trying to see who came. When Zhou Mingfa came, he had a bright lantern on, so he could see his face clearly, but when Xiao Lie and the others came, they just took advantage of the darkness to disguise, so there were only a few lanterns that came down behind Li Xiuer, and the lights were a bit dark.

When he observed carefully, he found out that one of them was Zhongyonghou. He screamed out in fright, and hurriedly sneaked into the secret passage to inform the middle-aged woman.

But at this time, Zhongyonghou had already led his people to Xiao Yiheng's residence, and it was too late for the secret person to pass on the situation.

The middle-aged woman heard the report from her subordinates that Zhongyonghou, Jin Wang, and Zhou Wang brought people into the mansion. She realized that it was a trick. At this time, Xiao Yiheng and Zhou Mingfa were meeting, and he should not appear, so she hurriedly pulled a stick in the corner. rope.

Xiao Yiheng was talking to Zhou Mingfa when suddenly a bell rang from under the bed.

Xiao Yiheng's expression changed, and he was about to go out to check when he heard footsteps outside the door.

He immediately turned back and said to Zhou Mingfa: Not good! Someone is here, adapt to the situation!

After speaking, go to bed and pretend to be in a coma.

Zhou Mingfa looked puzzled, the door was kicked open by Zhongyonghou Zhang Jinfu and rushed in with someone.

When he saw that the person who came was Zhongyonghou, Zhou Mingfa's expression changed drastically, and he immediately understood Xiao Yiheng's meaning, and he scolded: Bold! Zhang Jinfu, this is the Palace of the Prince of Chu. How dare you break in and break into the palace without permission? There is no law!

Zhang Jinfu clasped his fists and said, Lord Zhou, I was ordered by King Zhou of the Zongren Mansion to inform Princess Chu before entering the mansion. It is not considered a private intrusion. As for breaking into the house, I am concerned about the safety of the King of Chu. Tomorrow I will truthfully report to His Majesty. , willing to be punished.

King Zhou? Why did he send someone here? Zhou Mingfa panicked.

Master Zhou, don't worry, the prince will be here soon. Zhang Jinfu smiled.

Zhou Mingfa felt bitter in his heart, and finally understood what Xiao Yiheng meant by being tricked. It seemed that he had fallen into someone else's trap when he came here tonight.

Xiao Mingying and King Jin rushed over.

Seeing Jin Wang Xiao Lie, Zhou Mingfa became more aware that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to show panic on his face, but respectfully said: His Royal Highness Chu Wang, Zhou Wang Ye, why are you here tonight? Could it be that you are also worried about Chu Wang? The King of Chu is still in a coma, so don't disturb him to rest.

Xiao Mingying said: Master Zhou, just now the patrol battalion found poison and a secret letter from the Yang organization in your carriage. Do you have anything to explain?

What? Poison and a secret letter from the Yang organization? How is it possible! Don't wrong me. Zhou Mingfa immediately denied it, knowing that he had been tricked.

Then can you admit to the crime of poisoning King Chu and sending people to assassinate King Jin? Xiao Mingying asked.

Zhou Ming hoarsely said: Prince Zhou, although you are a prince, you can't slander the court officials at will! Tomorrow morning, I will tell His Majesty the truth.

Jin Wang Xiao Lie shouted: Master Zhou, you came here late at night just to see the unconscious King Chu?

Naturally. Zhou Mingfa replied.

But I heard that you came to detoxify. Is the king of Chu awake now? In order to protect you, he is still pretending to be unconscious? But it doesn't matter. I invited a genius doctor. He is good at acupuncture and moxibustion. King Chu! King Jin waved his hand, and a middle-aged doctor came out behind him.

Zhou Mingfa's complexion changed drastically, and he stopped by the bed immediately, saying, No, King Chu is unconscious now, what if acupuncture hurts his body!

Haha, Mr. Zhou is so panicked, is it true that what I said is true? Xiao Lie satirized, then looked at Xiao Mingying: Uncle, what do you think?

Xiao Mingying glanced at Xiao Yiheng who was unconscious on the bed, sighed, and said, Let the doctor try it! Give King Chu a shot!

Xiao Lie was overjoyed, and immediately gave the middle-aged doctor a wink, this person rushed forward, Zhou Mingfa wanted to stop him, but was pushed aside by this person.

When he came to the bedside, he took out a silver needle from his cuff and was about to start.

Xiao Yiheng on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

you dare!

Xiao Yiheng knew that he couldn't hide it, he was being calculated step by step tonight, the people behind the scenes expected that he would wake up, and invited Zhou Wang Xiao Mingying, and only the old prince of the clan mansion could bring Jin Wang in. Otherwise, they would not be able to break in at all based on King Jin or Marquis Zhongyong.

Moreover, Xiao Yiheng also guessed that the enemy who planned all this was not himself, but his uncle, Zhou Mingfa!

The more he thought about it, the more Xiao Yiheng felt a severe chill.

His Majesty could guess that he was pretending to be unconscious, which already made him panic, but now there are still people who know his strategy and design it according to the situation, which makes him even more terrified.

Seeing Xiao Yiheng sitting up, Xiao Lie was pleasantly surprised, but also filled with hatred in his eyes.

Xiao Mingying sighed, the King of Chu was really not in a coma!
