pet queen [rebirth]

Recently, it was a good spring, Xiao Qian took Su Mingmo to go outing outside the city.

The Puji Temple has been half completed, and a main hall has been opened for incense. Many people go there to worship Buddha every day.

Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo went for a walk together, and also went to join in the fun.

There was a small stall selling sachets and peace talismans outside, the vendor saw the two of them and said, "Master, buy a peace talisman, or a sachet, this sachet is wrapped with herbs, which has a miraculous effect on sleep aid."

Su Mingmo stopped in his tracks and asked, "How much is it?"

In the end he bought two, saying that one was for Xiao Qian to hang around his waist, and the other was placed next to his pillow to help him sleep well at night.

Xiao Qian was very obedient, even if he hung the sachet on his waist.

"How do you know that this king lacks this?" Xiao Qian said with a smile.

"My lord always lights up the lamp until late at night, so it must be useful."

Xiao Qian's heart moved, and he wanted to say that it would be good for Ziyu to sleep with me at night, when suddenly he saw a strange figure flashing not far away.

"Northern barbarians?" Su Mingmo frowned slightly, and he also saw it, "Recently, northern barbarians in the imperial city have been assassinated frequently, why are there still northern barbarians haunting here?"

Ordinary people may not be able to see the figure of a martial arts practitioner, but as long as one has practiced, one can tell whether the opponent has the ability from the pace.

Su Mingmo followed that master recently, and was also taught some ways to distinguish, knowing that he was by no means an ordinary northern barbarian businessman.

Xiao Qian thought for a while and said, "Follow and have a look."

Siqing followed them firmly and came to an empty alley corner. Xiao Qian was afraid of being exposed, so he asked Siqing to go up and listen. After a while, Siqing came back.

"My lord," Siqing said, "it was sent by the staff of the northern barbarian king. They seem to be discussing...how to attack at night."

Night raid?

Xiao Qian was taken aback.

That's right, he almost forgot that the Beiman King's staff were not ordinary people, even if King Duan offered him an olive branch, he might not cooperate with King Duan sincerely.

A few days ago, Emperor Xuancheng assassinated the northern barbarian spies wantonly in Beijing, which seemed to have aroused their dissatisfaction.

Assassination?

Xiao Qian thought to himself that the envoys from the northern barbarians were sent by dead men, and they might have other plans besides inquiring about the secrets of the Great Jin Dynasty.

He has a good relationship with Duan Wang and the prince, and he is trying to please both sides, but in fact he is spying on the inside story of the palace.

Look for opportunities to assassinate.

Assassination at this time, the chance of winning is not great, but there is definitely room for development.

If it succeeds, the Great Jin Dynasty will be turned upside down. Taking advantage of the chaos in the court, the Northern Barbarians will take advantage of the vacancy, and maybe they will have a chance to dominate the Central Plains.

If it fails, it's okay, put a big pot on the prince's head completely, and the prince will lose power completely.They sold King Duan's favor, King Duan would not blame them openly.

In the future, if he infiltrates into the imperial court through King Duan, there will be a lot of room for development.

In the past few days, Emperor Xuan Cheng's health has not been very good.

Xiao Qian thought about it for a while, and felt that no matter what, Beiman could not be allowed to intervene in the affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty, so he said to Su Mingmo: "Ziyu, you go back first, the king will go to the palace for a while."

Su Mingmo also knew the pros and cons, so he nodded.

Xiao Qian left the carriage to him, rode a horse himself, and rushed into the palace.

Emperor Xuancheng's physical condition was worse than Xiao Qian imagined. He was wearing a thick fur coat and was reviewing memorials in Mingxin Palace.

After Xiao Qian came in, he said in surprise, "Qian'er, why are you here?"

"Come to visit Emperor Father," Xiao Qian knelt down and said, "I heard that Emperor Father has not been in good health recently, so Qian'er wanted to come and visit."

"Okay...Okay!" Emperor Xuancheng coughed and said, "Li Youde, give me your seat."

Li Youde moved a chair.

Xiao Qian sat down beside him.

"I've been thinking about the matter between you and Qi'er recently."

Emperor Xuancheng lowered his head, and while reviewing the memorial, he said: "It is because I have indulged Hua'er too much in the past few years, and cultivated his lawless temperament."

"The day before yesterday, I went to worship in the ancestral ancestral hall, and suddenly wondered, who should hand over this country."

"As I get older, sooner or later I will be unable to do what I want. Maybe I was confused before, but now I suddenly understand that I am the Lord of the Jin Dynasty and should be responsible to my people."

"I know what Yuan Qi has been thinking all along. Putting aside those people's hearts and his petty actions, it is fair to say that he is indeed much smarter than Hua'er, and he is suitable for this position."

"I thought, I have to think not only for myself, but also for the great Jinjiang Mountains, otherwise, after a hundred years, how can I have the face to face my ancestors! If in the future... If in the future, Hua'er will be too useless , maybe I can only hand over this position to Qi'er. No matter what, it can be regarded as an explanation to my ancestors."

"Qian'er, can you understand my father's thoughts?"

Xiao Qian was silent for a while, then sneered, and said, "I don't understand."

"Your status..." Emperor Xuancheng paused, and said, "You should understand the position of the courtiers and ancestors, I am also for your own good."

"Then why did the father give birth to me again?" Xiao Qian asked back, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. Since the father knows this truth, why did you insist on provoking my mother in the first place? Or let me live in The Western Regions are worse than growing up in this palace where you were bullied and bullied. For the great cause you said, you even asked me to marry a man..."

"Father, will you be too partial in doing this?"

Emperor Xuancheng was dumb, and after a while, he said: "Your mother and concubine and I have feelings..."

"Qian'er..." Emperor Xuancheng coughed, his eyes glowed red, "Qian'er, you really don't know why I brought you back to the palace?"

He said: "I miss you, and I am afraid that you will suffer in the Western Regions. With your identity, if I don't keep you by my side, and you are in a place like tigers and wolves in the Western Regions, if someone with ulterior motives finds out your identity, use it You threaten me, or want to take your life, how should I deal with it?"

Xiao Qian didn't answer.

"I am the son of heaven and my father, why don't I want to have the warmth of an ordinary father and son with you, but I still have a great cause!"

Emperor Xuancheng coughed again, and said: "Qian'er, no matter who the father passes on to in the future, he will definitely make a decree to let them treat you well. This is the only thing the father can do for you..."

"No need," Xiao Qian said indifferently, "Qian'er will fight for Qian'er's future, don't worry about my father."

"you!"

"Father, don't worry," Xiao Qian added, "Father has already confided his heart to Qian'er, and Qian'er also understands what Father means, so he won't do such outrageous things like elder brother."

Emperor Xuancheng was going to be angry after hearing what he said, but after thinking about it, since he could agree, that would be the best. He didn't need to say too radical words for a while, so he nodded and stopped arguing with him.

Xiao Qian came back from the palace.

Su Mingmo was sitting in the front hall waiting, when he saw Xiao Qian enter the door, he went up to meet him and asked, "How is it, what does Your Majesty say?"

Xiao Qian endured the anger in his stomach, and said: "I have already said, your elder brother happens to be in Beijing these few days, and the palace needs to strengthen the guards, so this king recommended your elder brother."

"Father agreed to let him lead the deployment of troops in the palace and strengthen the patrols in the palace. If something happens, your elder brother will be able to save you. It will not be difficult for you to be promoted or rewarded for your meritorious deeds."

Su Mingmo nodded: "So, Ziyu would like to thank the lord for the introduction on behalf of the eldest brother," but after a pause, he still said, "Why does the lord still look unhappy?"

Xiao Qian sat down and told Su Mingmo the truth about the conversation with Emperor Xuan Cheng in the palace today.

Su Mingmo was silent for a moment, and asked, "Does the lord really want that position?"

Xiao Qian was startled, and said, "Why did Zi Yu say that?"

"At the beginning, Ziyu only thought that the prince had great ambitions, but after thinking about it recently, he didn't feel like it. Ziyu didn't know what the prince really thought, and the prince could have a close relationship with Ziyu. It's for the prince."

Xiao Qian was silent for a long time, and said, "What about you? What kind of ambition does Ziyu have in mind?"

Su Mingmo was stunned by his question, and immediately smiled and said: "What kind of ambition can Ziyu have? At first, he just wanted to help his father share some of the burden on his shoulders. Later, he got involved in the matter of being pregnant with the eldest son... and felt that this It's been like this for a lifetime, but it would be great if Ziyu could do his best to help a bunch of princes now."

"I mean, what about yourself? If you could live for yourself one day, what would you do?"

Su Mingmo was silent.

"Don't let people praise you for your good looks, just leave the clean air to fill the universe..." Su Mingmo murmured, "Uncle Wei always taught me that a man should serve the country and the people, and his ambitions are everywhere. Zi Yu once envied Eldest Brother, Galloping on the battlefield in the frontier. Later, Ziyu studied and practiced calligraphy in order to gain fame, and the prince suddenly asked... Ziyu... Ziyu didn't know what he really wanted."

"Okay," Xiao Qian said, "You look for it slowly, and I will accompany you to find it. As long as you want to do it, I will do it with you in this lifetime, okay?"

"My lord, you..." Su Mingmo was tongue-tied.

"This king is only for the people in front of me, nothing else is important." Xiao Qian said lightly.

Anyway, it was enough for him to live one life, and he didn't want to do unnecessary things for others.

Su Mingmo still thought that Xiao Qian was speaking in anger, but when Xiao Qian asked this question today, Su Mingmo himself began to secretly think about what he wanted...
