The princess is killing like crazy again

The ceremonial officer's eyes turned dark and he was sweating profusely. He looked nervously at the Fuyang Guard kneeling in front of the stairs.

What happened again? What happened again?

Oh God, please let him go. To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger. His life is hanging by a thread, following this former tyrant and now emperor.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yurong asked.

The ones who came were the Fuyang Guards from the Water Department.

Fuyang Wei paused, as if he was considering his words, "Master Liu wants to see you."

The ministers looked at each other and whispered.

The Liu family is now almost the same as the rebels, but they have not caused any big noise.

When their new emperor ascends the throne, he will probably regard the Liu family as a thorn in his side and settle the score with them later.

But everyone knows that Liu Pinjue and Xiao Yurong were master and apprentice before, and they had a very good relationship.

They were not sure what Xiao Yurong was thinking.

Xiao Yurong raised his eyebrows, "Announce."

She asked Liu Pinjue to think carefully. Was Liu Pinjue ready to become her enemy? Or was he ready to compromise?

Liu Pinjue appeared at the end of the sight, walking towards the front slowly step by step.

Xiao Yurong watched him walk to the bottom of the stairs with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

He is still moving forward.

Fuyang Wei raised his weapon to block him, but he did not stop and continued to move forward.

The Fuyang guards held weapons in their hands and confronted Liu Pinjue tensely, but moved back little by little.

"Let him come up." Xiao Yurong said.

The Fuyang guards retreated from both sides.

Liu Pinjue finally walked in front of Xiao Yurong.

He and Xiao Yurong looked at each other.

Xiao Yurong silently placed his hand on the hilt of Ye Xing's knife and was about to say something.

Liu Pinjue lifted his robe, knelt in front of Xiao Yurong, and performed the standard kowtow ceremony, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Everyone was stunned.

Xiao Yurong was slightly startled.

This was equivalent to Liu Pinjue thinking it over and accepting the olive branch thrown by Xiao Yurong at that time.

He was willing to give up his ambitions for many years, step back and become a subject.

Because he realized that if he continued to fight, it would deviate from his original intention.

Also because of Xiao Yurong’s words “I need you”.

If the path Xiao Yurong is taking is unprecedented and will never be repeated, he is willing to continue to protect Xiao Yurong.

He bowed his head, held a seal in both hands and raised it above his head, presenting it to Xiao Yurong, "Yunzhou Liu family presents this to Your Majesty."

This is the seal of the Liu family's successive heads, used to handle official business.

"Surrender?" Xiao Yurong raised his eyebrows, sincere but as if he wanted to see through someone.

She took a step back and went up a flight of stairs.

Liu Pinjue held up the corner of his robe with one hand and knelt down to go up the steps with Xiao Yurong.

Every time Xiao Yurong took a step back, he would kneel down and take a step back.

The posture is humble enough, but when kneeling, the knees do not shift, appearing to be at ease yet firm.

Xiao Yurong stopped.

Considering Liu Pinjue's personality, he can achieve this, which shows his sincerity.

In terms of teacher-student relationship, Liu Pinjue is the teacher and she is the disciple.

In terms of monarch and minister, she is the monarch and Liu Pinjue is the minister.

Seeing Xiao Yurong stop, Liu Pinjue raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yurong, "Yunzhou Liu family is willing to serve your majesty, and so is I."

He had promised Xiao Yurong in the past that when Xiao Yurong finally left home to become an apprentice, he would definitely give him a big gift.

Now that he has fulfilled this promise, his gift is the entire Yunzhou Liu family.

"Sir, it's good that you have this intention." Xiao Yurong took the seal from Liu Pinjue and curled his lips, "Sir, you are still the Grand Tutor. I allow you to be the regent and assist me well."

Their ambitions and abilities are so similar that they are now willing to work together to govern.

Gongsun Qian looked up at the scene, amazed. He turned to his brother and said, "The former is hard to catch up with, but the latter is formidable, isn't it?"

Gongsun Zhao said sternly: "Brother, your words are inappropriate. You should not address the Lord like that."

Gongsun Qian was speechless in response to his rigid younger brother. It was a pity that Yi Yan had gone to investigate Xiao Yuxie's whereabouts, and no one was with him to be so bold and presumptuous as to discuss the matter.

Look at Xie Deshu and Yushu, both of whom are responsible for protecting Xiao Yurong's safety and the order of the ceremony, and they are separated by a long distance.

Gongsun Qian became even more worried.

What should I do if my younger brother is too boring?

"The Liu family of Yunzhou is here to serve Your Majesty." Liu Pinjue knelt in front of Xiao Yurong and said loudly.

Xiao Yurong helped Liu Pinjue up, "Get up."

She looked at Liu Pinjue with a hint of joking, "Return to your seat, my dear."

Liu Pinjue glanced at Xiao Yurong, seemed speechless, and after saluting, returned to the team of officials.

At this time, Cui Ci Ning also took a step forward, walked to the bottom of the stairs, and knelt down.

There is no such link at all.

"He was inspired by Liu Pinjue, right? What kind of performance is he going to perform?" Gongsun Qin continued to whisper to his brother.

This time Gongsun Zhao learned his lesson and simply ignored Gongsun Qin.

Gongsun Qian felt bored and muttered to himself why he had such a brother.

"Mr. Cui, what's the matter?" Xiao Yurong asked.

Cui Qining faced Wang Yao and presented his sword. "I will not marry, I will not be granted a title, I will not be granted land, I will not have children, I will not wear a crown, and I will not compete for honor and favor."

He lowered his proud head and knelt in front of the steps. "I will be loyal to my duty and be Chu Le's shield and your majesty's sword."

In front of all the ministers, Cui Qining swore: "I will defend your imperial power with my blood and my life."

"The Cui family of Yinzhou has converted to the wise master," he said.

The Liu, Cui, Wang and Li families all belonged to one master.

Xiao Yurong curled his lips and looked at the dazed ceremonial officer, "Continue."

The ceremonial officer came to his senses and immediately continued to preside over the ceremony.

Xiao Yurong continued to climb the stairs.

Her steps were steady, as if she was stepping on the heavy foundation that had been laid or destroyed by generations of emperors of Chu Le.

The Fuyang Guards on both sides looked straight ahead, unwavering.

The ministers were dressed in solemn court robes, standing on both sides with respectful expressions.

Xiao Yurong reached the top, slowly turned around and faced his subjects.

The tassels of the crown hung in front of her, swaying gently as she moved, revealing her graceful demeanor and unrivaled elegance.

Xiao Yurong stood at the highest point, "May our Chule Kingdom last long."

"Long live His Majesty!" All the officials knelt and shouted "Long live His Majesty!"

The shouts were like waves, one after another, reaching the sky.

Looking at Xiao Yurong on the high platform, Li Yaozhi lowered his eyes and chuckled.

He still remembered that his cousin Li Rongzhao became like a walking corpse because of the sentence "Gossip can melt gold and make you separated".

But he, his highness, always walks in a way that is different from others.

Don't be afraid of what people say, and don't be scared of history books.

Zhaoyang Zhenguo Empress ascended the throne and changed the reign title from Zhaoxi to Zhaoyang, becoming the first female emperor in history.

According to historical records, during his reign, he opened up the way for talented people, regardless of their background, and promoted them based on their talents. He had no taboos in pursuing his talents, whether in conspiracy or overt conspiracy.

Later, he rectified the administration of officials, developed water conservancy projects, opened up trade routes with 49 northern tribes, and supported academic studies.

Chu Le had many soldiers and generals, excellent weapons and a tough attitude.

The empress's rule was as solid as a rock, and Chu Le also had purple air coming from the east, a sign of peace. Her great achievements will be remembered forever.

Of course, this is all in the past.

Yi Yan's ability to carry out tasks is among the best, and it is not difficult to find Xiao Yuxie.

The news of Xiao Yurong's accession to the throne had already flown across the country on carrier pigeons.

It would be difficult to skip Xiao Yuxie and sit on the throne. Even though Xiao Yuxie disappeared and left behind the imperial edict, there were still so many people who opposed Xiao Yurong.

Xiao Yurong had guessed this a long time ago, and the attitudes of Xiao Yuxun and Xiao Yucheng made Xiao Yurong even more certain about this matter.

It turned out that her guess was correct.

"Brother!" Xiao Yurong threw herself into Xiao Yuxie's arms.

Xiao Yuxie subconsciously caught Xiao Yurong, and was stunned for a moment, but his eyes softened again, "Rongrong."

It seemed that Xiao Yurong hadn't called him brother for a long time.

He also seemed to have lost Xiao Yurong for a long time.

"Tell me the truth." Xiao Yurong hooked Xiao Yuxie's neck and pulled him down, his eyes bright, "Did you do this on purpose? Just to put me in this position?"

Xiao Yuxie fell silent subconsciously.

"Tell me the truth." Xiao Yurong stared into his eyes stubbornly.

Xiao Yuxie opened his mouth and finally admitted, "Yeah."

"When did you start thinking that way?" Xiao Yurong asked.

"That was the day when my father passed away, the Qiankun Palace changed, and the king was punished." Xiao Yuxie said.

Did he think so so early, so early that the moment Xiao Yuxie truly became the emperor?

Xiao Yurong was silent for a moment, "Why did you do so much but didn't tell me?"

Xiao Yuxie wanted to give it a try for Xiao Yurong.

Chu Le's ship, which is based on male superiority and female inferiority, has been sailing for a long time, and it is not easy for this huge ship to turn around.

But Xiao Yurong had such ambition, so he wanted to give it a try for his sister.

So he helped Xiao Yurong rise to a high position step by step, and gradually eliminated those who might influence her.

In order to achieve this goal, he almost forgot what he wanted in the first place. He originally hoped that Xiao Yurong could get what he wished.

Xiao Yurong will always be the most troublesome innocent person in his heart.

"My sister." Xiao Yuxie held Xiao Yurong's face and rubbed the red corners of her eyes. "I just hope that you will be safe, happy and healthy every year."

"What about the third brother? Did you really kill him?" Xiao Yurong asked again, "I thought it was you, but now I think about it, why didn't you say anything? You can put aside the old grudges and use the second brother, why don't you spare the third brother? He is locked up there and can no longer hinder you."

"Hmm, hmm..." Xiao Yuxie lowered his eyes.

He really wanted to kill Xiao Yu countless times.

He blamed Xiao Yurong for always distancing herself from him and betraying him because of those irrelevant people, even though they were clearly together.

They share the same roots and blood.

From the day of the palace coup, he began to believe that his family ties were so weak and he was not destined to be one.

Only Xiao Yurong is different.

Later he regretted it because he didn't want to make Xiao Yurong sad.

Even if he is under house arrest, Xiao Yusheng and his mother's family will never cause any more trouble.

But Xiao Yusheng didn't think so.

After Xiao Yurong went to fight against Wu, Xiao Yuxie went to see his third brother.

Xiao Yusheng's maternal family was secretly sending him messages. Xiao Yuxie knew about it, but he also understood that they could not cause any trouble.

According to the secret guard's message, his mother's clan gave him a knife.

As for whether this knife was for him to commit suicide so as not to implicate his mother's family, or for him to assassinate the emperor, Xiao Yuxie had no idea.

Xiao Yusheng looked emaciated, with none of his former elegant and graceful appearance.

"Why do you have to treat yourself like this? I have never shortchanged you on food, clothing and other expenses." Xiao Yuxie stood with his hands behind his back.

"Brother...ah, Your Majesty." Xiao Yusheng chuckled, "Your Majesty, why did you come to see me, a guilty minister?"

Xiao Yuxie paused for a moment and looked at him. "Rongrong cried and wanted to see you when she went to the battle this time. She always told me to let you out for the sake of our family relationship."

"Sometimes I don't know whether to call her naive or stupid." Xiao Yuxie sneered, "After so much has happened, she is still dreaming of a happy family."

He said faintly, "That's why I said she was spoiled, because no matter what she did, her father and brother would forgive her, and she thought you and I were the same."

Xiao Yusheng lowered his eyes and laughed softly, "She was thinking about the Xiao Chu world, thinking that anyone with the Xiao surname and blood should be of one mind and live for the Xiao world."

Xiao Yuxie said coldly, "Father is right to hand her over to Liu Pinjue for instruction. If she continues to be raised like this, her complexion will become pale, her limbs will become weak, her tendons and bones will become loose, her blood will become limp, and her hands and feet will become shabby. If she encounters a chaotic world and traitors, she will not know her place and will die sooner or later."

"If that is the case, will Your Majesty abandon her?" Xiao Yusheng asked.

Xiao Yuxie was silent for a while, "No."

"She knows all this, so she is so carefree." Xiao Yusheng said.

"On the day of the coup, if she resists to death and I lose in the end, will you kill her?" Xiao Yuxie asked.

"No." Xiao Yusheng replied, "She is still ***, but the reign title will not be Zhaoxi."

Xiao Yuxie looked at him, "But you will decide the fate of me, my subordinates, and even the Huo family, right?"

Xiao Yusheng smiled bitterly: "...Yes."

He doesn't want to tell a lie.

At this point, Xiao Yuxie still spared his life, which was considered to be merciful.

"Heh." Xiao Yuxie sneered.

“Your Majesty, no…Brother.” Xiao Yusheng stood up shakily. “I am the one who is sorry for you, for Rongrong, and for my brothers and sisters.”

Xiao Yuxie narrowed his eyes and waited for his follow-up.

"We are brothers." Xiao Yusheng smiled sadly, "I beg Your Majesty not to vent your anger on others because of my crime. Don't implicate my fourth brother, and don't blame my fifth sister."

He drew a dagger from behind his back.

Xiao Yuxie became alert instantly and subconsciously took precautions, but the next moment the dagger was against Xiao Yusheng's neck and he wiped it without hesitation.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Xiao Yuxie's face was splashed with his brother's blood, and he stood there stiffly for a long time.

In the quiet place, Xiao Yuxie slowly squatted down and felt Xiao Yusheng's pulse.

There is no life.

He paused for a moment, then reached out and closed his brother's eyes.

Xiao Yuxie still didn't know whether the letter that Xiao Yusheng's mother's family secretly sent to Xiao Yusheng mentioned suicide or regicide.

But Xiao Yusheng chose to commit suicide.

well.

Xiao Yuxie stood up and ordered, "Deal with the affairs of the Third Prince. This matter must not be spread to anyone, especially not to the emperor. Do you understand?"

"Yes." The subordinate received the order.

After telling Xiao Yurong everything, Xiao Yuxie looked at her red eyes and touched her eyelids. "I won't attack them again, even if it's for you."

Xiao Yurong silently threw herself into his arms.
