Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1771

Don’t you love this kind of North Wing?

This question made Xiao Zhi's heart warm, because no one had ever asked him this question before.

He only knew that as a prince he had to fight his way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses. The dragon throne on the Golden Palace was a staircase made of bones.

He only knew that human life was worthless. People he saw every day were gone in the blink of an eye.

His mother was like this. She was preparing for the queen coronation ceremony the day before, and she fell into the water the next day. When she was fished out, she looked completely different.

This is how it is with brothers and sisters. Only three or two of them can survive the attacks.

This is how it was for the palace maids. The maids who were kneeling to serve tea in the early morning were dragged to the mass grave at noon.

This is the case with civil and military officials. They were making passionate speeches in the court yesterday, but today their heads and bodies are separated.

The same was true for the common people. The "thousands of casualties" mentioned lightly in the border war reports actually meant thousands of shattered homes.

Since he was young, Xiao Zhi believed that it was his duty to avenge his mother. He was not close to his father, the emperor, and the man sitting on the dragon throne did not like his mother.

He who is not close to his brothers and sisters - those blood relatives who want to kill him either openly or secretly - are man-eating beasts.

He lived with the daily reminders from Eunuch An, "Empress Zhen died unjustly, Your Highness. Empress Zhen was pushed into the lake."

As he grew older, the dripping sound of the clepsydra carved hatred into his bones inch by inch.

Xiao Zhi never thought that the beautiful country could be measured by love and hate.

But the eyes of the imperial sister were so bright and firm, the morning light shattered into thousands of stars in her almond-shaped pupils, "Royal brother, don't you want the Northern Wing to usher in a more powerful and prosperous era in your hands? Look at the people from all directions coming to congratulate you, look at the beacon fires on the border being extinguished, look at the little children who don't know what weapons are?"

She drew a cake, a round, big, hot cake that tasted better when dipped in hot blood.

She said so much just to lead to this sentence, "My brother wants to escape to Huizhou, is he really going to ignore this vast country?"

Xiao Zhi's pupils darkened, "How could the imperial sister know......"

That's right, he was planning to resign and return to his fiefdom when his father returned to the court. He didn't want to be a crown prince, let alone an emperor.

He asked Eunuch An to go ahead, and he would arrive later.

But he only thought so in his heart and never told anyone.

But then An Xia said, "My brother has never been a man obsessed with power. You fought for the throne back then just to avenge yourself and to survive. Now that your enemy has been killed, you no longer have any interest in the throne."

Xiao Zhi's eyes suddenly surged, like a storm crashing against the shore. No one had ever understood him like this, including Eunuch An.

"You even thought that it would be best if the consort was your father's biological son, so that he could naturally take over your position. Or if you carefully train the Ninth Prince for a few years, he would also be able to take over the position." Shi Anxia said leisurely, "Brother, I have no intention of influencing your thoughts. I just hope you can think about my question today, 'Do you love Beiyi like this?'"

Xiao Zhi felt a sudden pain in his heart, and he felt a little guilty for no reason.

At this moment, Shi Anxia supported herself on the armrests and struggled to stand up with her bulging belly.

Before Xiao Zhi could react, he saw her slowly kneeling on the jade bricks.

Xiao Zhi was so frightened that he reached out to help her but froze in mid-air, "Royal sister, you can't do that!"

Shi Anxia knelt stubbornly, raised her head and said, "My royal brother, please sit down and let me apologize."

Xiao Zhi froze on the spot for a moment, then sat back obediently, an incredible thought rising in his mind.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Shi Anxia confirmed it.

She said, "The saying 'the emperor's son-in-law is his father's son who was exiled to the people' was introduced to Chang'an County from Liang State. But I ordered someone to tell Eunuch An about it, and I also had someone pass the 'Hundred Days of Drunk' to Eunuch An."
