Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Nishang felt that Jiang Jiu’s perspective on problems was very novel.

Yes, it's just an extra finger, not a big deal.

It doesn't affect anything, but he loses the qualification to compete for the throne.

There are advantages and disadvantages. As a prince, you can live a good life in the capital and enjoy wealth and glory.

Jiang Jiu was looking at the Sixth Prince very seriously, perhaps because he had been staring at him for too long.

The Sixth Prince also felt that someone's gaze was too scorching.

I followed the path and met a pair of bright and clear eyes.

Jiang Jiu was not like other women who became shy and felt inferior when they saw the noble Sixth Prince and hid in the car.

Instead, he waved at him generously and friendly.

It looked so natural, as if the two of them were acquaintances.

The Sixth Prince was slightly startled. The woman who had been so familiar with him last time had passed away a long time ago...

Who is this woman...?

He also waved to Jiang Jiu in a friendly manner.

The Ninth Prince's carriage finally started again.

But in front was the coffin of Princess Qiyang, and the soul-calling banners and paper money arranged by the eldest princess along the way, and the ninth prince's carriage followed behind, as if it was a funeral procession.

However, the Ninth Prince's carriage stopped at the Princess's residence and then turned directly to the Imperial Palace.

When Zhao Zhuoxi returned from his fiefdom, the first thing he did was to meet the emperor.

Only he could go in, Jiang Jiu and others stayed outside the palace waiting.

Jiang Jiu was extremely worried: "If he goes to see the emperor, will the emperor kill him?"

Nishang was also worried, but she knew the rules of the palace better.

"No, the prince went in with such a swagger, and he can come out with a swagger. The current emperor is known as a benevolent monarch. The prince is so sick, he dare not touch him easily."

Jiang Jiu added, "What if the Emperor really kills someone and says he died of illness in the palace? We won't be able to do anything..."

Nichang stared at Jiang Jiu in a daze, and after a long while she said, "Your Majesty wouldn't be so despicable."

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows: "If it were me, I would do the same. Instead of assassinating him all day long, it would be better to kill him directly. After all, he is the emperor and no one can do anything to him. It would be better if he died and everything is over. "

This is the truth. Not to mention that Nichang was not worried at all at first, but after hearing what Jiang Jiu said, she became worried.

Suddenly, she thought of the Sixth Prince again: "No, he and the eldest princess are also accompanying them... They will argue in the hall, but they won't fight..."

Jiang Jiu smacked his lips: "There are outsiders here... so I really have to be a little considerate of my reputation..."

"But the palace is so big, what if the queen is behind this?"

Nishang was stunned again. "No, that can't be. If anything happens to the prince in the palace, it will be your majesty's responsibility. I'm afraid he won't be able to explain it clearly. Even if we don't pursue it, those censors and officials will not let it go."

Jiang Jiu thought about it and understood a little: "There's nothing good about being an emperor. I don't dare to do anything I want. I'm always hesitant and afraid of this and that. Isn't it said that being an emperor means you can do whatever you want?"

Nichang was left speechless by Jiang Jiu's reasoning.

If being an emperor is not a good thing, why does everyone want to be the emperor?

Jiang Jiu and Nishang were both worried about Zhao Zhuoxi.

In the Golden Palace, Zhao Zhuoxi was carried directly to the bottom of the steps in a sedan chair.

Even so, he took a look at the high steps, shook his head, and waved to the guards beside him.

"Come, carry me up."

The guards did not dare to object and actually carried Zhao Zhuoxi to the throne room.

The emperor looked at him helplessly: "Is Ninth Brother really too weak to even climb the stairs?"

Zhao Zhuoxi took two steps and panted three times. "It was originally possible, but a few things happened one after another, and my body collapsed all of a sudden... Your humble servant... cough cough."

"Don't bow. Come, please give him a seat." The emperor was also afraid that something bad might happen to him.

Zhao Zhuoxi was supported by the eunuch and sat on the chair.

"This year, my brother has been through many misfortunes. First, he was inexplicably assassinated at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet. He barely managed to save his life, but then he fell off a cliff while visiting the Guanyin Temple and was bedridden for six months."

"My cousin Qi Yang is here, and I haven't been able to take good care of her. Let her go and have fun on her own. Sigh... it's better not to say anything."

Princess Qiyang fell in love with two handsome men in Sucheng and insisted on taking them back to be her lovers, but was killed by Zhao Zhuoxi.

Even if Zhao Zhuoxi didn't say these things, the emperor would know them.

The emperor glanced at Zhao Zhuoxi and asked calmly and majestically, "How did Qi Yang die?"

Zhao Zhuoxi had already thought of an excuse: "It's because of those two handsome men. I killed one of them, and his brother avenged his brother by hiding among Qiyang's guards and killing her while she was soaking in the hot spring..."

"However, my royal brother, don't be sad. I have already captured that handsome man and his entire family. I will behead them and scatter their bones to scatter their ashes. I will avenge my cousin Qi Yang."

The emperor pondered in silence, while the eldest princess beside him trembled with anger.

"Laojiu, that's your fiefdom. How could you allow this to happen?"

Zhao Zhuoxi spread his hands and said, "What's wrong with my fiefdom? I'm not in good health, and the management is lax. It's all managed by the local prefect. Besides, I can be assassinated in my own palace, let alone my cousin Qi Yang."

"Besides, as soon as she arrived in Sucheng, I told her to go back quickly. Sucheng is not safe, but she insisted on staying. What can I do..."

The eldest princess turned pale with anger and shed tears.

"That's your cousin. Your aunt only has her as a daughter. She longs to visit you. How can you be worthy of the late emperor..."

Unable to argue, he resorted to moral blackmail.

Zhao Zhuoxi was not at all indulgent: "The late emperor? Father? Yes, I have let him down. If the late emperor were still alive, my body would not have been so weak. I am afraid I would have been full of energy... cough cough cough... My brother is like a father, he will definitely take care of me."

In fact, when the eldest princess mentioned the late emperor, the emperor's face darkened.

Among all the children of the late emperor, the emperor was the least favored and the most mediocre one, but in the end, he became the emperor.

But the person in front of him was the eldest princess, his aunt, so he couldn't say anything.

"Aunt, Qi Yang is gone, and she has gone through such a bumpy journey. Let her rest in peace as soon as possible."

The eldest princess understood that the emperor did not want to pursue the matter anymore.

He threw his sleeves in anger, forgot even to be polite, and turned around and left in a rage.

Zhao Zhuoxi didn't even raise his eyelids, and sat leisurely in a chair drinking tea.

After the eldest princess left, the emperor wanted to ask Zhao Zhuoxi a few questions, but he had been monitoring him from beginning to end, and he was so seriously ill, so the emperor didn't seem to have anything to ask.

"Alright, you should go back too. The New Year is coming soon, so don't go back to your fiefdom yet. Come back after the New Year when the weather is warmer..."

The emperor asked the eunuch to send Zhao Zhuoxi away and gave him many fine and precious medicinal herbs.

Just as Zhao Zhuoxi was about to get on the sedan chair, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the queen was coming.

According to palace rules, he had to pay his respects to the queen when she arrived.

Little did he know that he pretended not to see it and had the sedan chair carried away.

Queen Zhou stood aside and watched from a distance, her eyes slightly narrowed and her face expressionless.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and gave orders to her men.

"Old Nine is going to discuss marriage. Come on, I will definitely choose a good father-in-law for him."
