Sister, be yourself!

Chapter 176

In the Golden Palace, although the emperor was sitting on the throne, his expression was extremely gloomy. He looked at Concubine Liu Gui and Lou Xuan, as if he wanted to kill them on the spot.

Lou Xuan didn't care at all, when he looked at the emperor, his eyes lost the respect he used to have, and his tone even contained some contempt, "Father, please write down this edict of abdication, and I promise that I will manage it well." Cang Lai."

The emperor snorted coldly and reprimanded: "You rebellious thing!"

"Father, this son-in-law is also thinking of you. I think that my father has been on the throne for several years and has worked hard for the country. Every time I see my father working so hard, this son-in-law really hurts my heart, and I want to help my father lighten the burden. .”

Lou Xuan brushed the blue silk beside his ear, although he said he was always thinking about it, but in fact he was extremely hypocritical, and said: "It just so happens that the time has come, the father and the emperor should abdicate and take care of the mother and concubine for the rest of the year. Let me govern on behalf of my father."

The emperor didn't look at Lou Xuan, but his rising and falling chest showed that he was already very angry with him.

Concubine Liu Gui on the side persuaded: "Your Majesty, Xuan'er is right. Your Majesty is too tired to deal with government affairs every day. For the sake of your majesty's dragon body, let Xuan'er help you."

The emperor looked at Concubine Liu Gui with anger in his eyes, "Concubine Liu Gui, I treat you well on weekdays, and you actually ganged up with this rebellious son to force the palace!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines are just out of good intentions to let His Majesty rest and recuperate. Moreover, Your Majesty knows that among the many princes, only our Xuan'er has the ability to inherit the throne."

Lou Xuan also persuaded: "Father, you can safely hand over the country to your ministers, and go and be your Supreme Emperor."

"Even if I die, I will never hand over the country to you, a rebellious son!"

Lou Xuan chuckled and remained silent, but Concubine Liu Gui said, "Your Majesty, why are you so stubborn? Don't worry, Your Majesty, this concubine will not kill you. After all, you are Xuan'er's father. How can you have the heart to let His Majesty die?"

Concubine Liu Guifei paused for a moment, then smiled again: "Your Majesty, please hurry up and write down this edict of abdication."

The emperor snorted coldly and turned his head away again.

Lou Xuan had already seen his intentions, and said quietly: "Father, are you waiting for the imperial sister and the female son-in-law?"

The emperor turned his head to look at Lou Xuan, and heard him say: "Father, don't wait, I'm afraid you will never see them again in this lifetime."

The emperor's heart was lifted instantly, and he said nervously: "You bastard, what did you do to them?"

Lou Xuan was very uncomfortable listening to this bastard thing. In other people's homes, as fathers, they pay more attention to men, let alone they are princes.

But when he arrived at his house, it was the other way around. His father was interested in Xiao Yunzhi who was a woman, and even wanted to give her the throne. Anger and jealousy were intertwined. How could Lou Xuan be able to balance? In the past, for the throne, He needs to endure, but he doesn't need it now, he said directly: "Father, you call your son a bastard, then what are you?"

Lou Xuan didn't care how angry the emperor was, he continued: "If you think that what I do is not in line with your wishes, then you shouldn't have me in the first place, let alone accept my mother and concubine as a concubine. Since you gave birth to me, Then give me the throne!"

"I ask you, what happened to Luan'er and the son-in-law?!"

This question made Lou Xuan laugh, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at his little fantasies about his father's love, or at the emperor's innocence. At this moment, he had angered his father so much, but his father only cared about Xiao Yuanzhi and that Consort.

"Father, to achieve great things, one must first kill the superior and get rid of the roots. Since my son wants to be the emperor, and she is Xiao Yuanzhi as the heir, how can my son let her live?"

Lou Xuan looked at the emperor, "Royal father, you love me so much, but you shouldn't have pushed the younger sister to death so early. It is thanks to the imperial father that the younger sister can have this ending."

Lou Xuan's eyes did not move away from the emperor's face, he observed carefully, trying to see the expression he wanted from the murderous words.

"Oh, how can you kill my Luan'er?"

"To tell you the truth, there are four thousand elite soldiers of mine in this palace, and 5 soldiers outside the palace. In order to show how much I attach importance to the imperial sister, I specially sent 1 soldiers to the Princess Mansion. The imperial sister is unpredictable, and she expected that such a day would come, and at most three to five hundred people could be found in her princess mansion."

Hearing this, a painful expression finally appeared on the emperor's face. Although it didn't last long, it was accurately captured by Lou Xuan. He was very happy and happy, so happy!

Concubine Liu Gui said: "Your Majesty, given the current situation, my concubine advises you to write down the imperial edict of abdication. I believe that His Majesty will be diligent in governing and caring for the people, and will certainly not have the heart for the people to endure the suffering of war?"

"Are you threatening me?"

Lou Xuan said first: "So what?"

Concubine Liu Gui said: "Xuan'er, you can't talk nonsense."

Unlike Lou Xuan, Concubine Liu Gui's respect for the emperor is still there, but it is only superficial, "How dare the concubine and Xuan'er threaten your majesty, your majesty is the real dragon emperor, the lord of the world, it doesn't matter if you don't write, If His Majesty doesn’t want to write it today, we will change it tomorrow, and if you don’t want to write it tomorrow, we will change it the next day until His Majesty writes it down.”

Lou Xuan was obviously displeased, he didn't want to waste precious time, and he didn't want to spend any more time with the emperor, "Every day the father hesitated, the son-in-law would find a few commoners and ask them to go down to accompany the emperor's sister, depending on the father's opinion. How "loved" is the imperial sister."

Isn't this just trying to dump the sins all over him to him and Xiao Yuanzhi?

Before the emperor could speak, a voice came into the Golden Palace, "Father's love for me is really not as good as your brother's."

Seeing the two people entering the golden palace, the emperor stood up happily and said excitedly, "Luan'er!"

Lou Xuan suddenly turned his head, his eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief, he sent 1 troops, even if Xiao Yunzhi and Wei Zisu were excellent in martial arts, they would never be able to defeat those 1 people, let alone her two are the masters of not killing people, " You are not dead?!"

"Brother Huang, I've let you down. My son-in-law and I are still alive and unscathed."

Lou Xuan raised his brows, "How could...it's impossible."

"Brother Huang, you have committed a capital crime by hijacking your father to force the palace. If you are willing to plead guilty now, maybe your father will spare you."

Xiao Yunzhi is not a madonna, she hates Lou Xuan from the bottom of her heart, and this "kindness" reminder is just because she doesn't want to see blood. As for Lou Xuan's death, she doesn't care, as long as she doesn't die in front of her That's fine.

"Oh, Fu Fa? Xiao Yunzhi, you are just stupid, and you still think I am stupid?" Lou Xuan thought Xiao Yunzhi was ridiculous, "Alright, since those 1 people can't trap you, then I will take you by myself, anyway yours The ending has already been written, and sooner or later it will die in my hands."

Lou Xuan said very firmly, he pulled out the long sword in his hand, and said: "Come here, take Xiao Yunzhi and Wei Zisu to this palace, and whoever takes her two will be sealed as Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

The voice fell, but no one stepped forward.

"This group of trash." Lou Xuan's face was full of displeasure, and he raised his voice again, and said to the guards outside the hall: "Come here, take Xiao Yuanzhi and Wei Zisu to this palace!"

Seeing that no one came in, Lou Xuan realized something was wrong, and before he could react, Xiao Yunzhi spoke.

"Come here, take the fifth prince to me!"

Several guards rushed in with knives and surrounded Lou Xuan.

Concubine Liu Gui was startled, she took several steps back before she stabilized her body, "What... what's going on here?"

"I have heard for a long time that the fifth prince is good at martial arts. Today, I also want to see if the fifth prince can perform well."

Xiao Yuanzhi clapped his hands, ten disciples dressed in the costumes of Zangfeng Villa flew into the main hall upon hearing the sound, and all swung their swords at Lou Xuan, "Several senior sisters and senior brothers, please forgive me."

Xiao Yuanzhi has also learned well, so why do he have to do it himself if he can let others solve it.

Even though Lou Xuan reacted quickly and dodged several times, his arm was still accidentally scratched.

Lou Xuan also got angry, he threw the scabbard to the ground, and then hit her and the others, but he alone, how could he defeat the ten of them, he wanted to kill him, but every time he would be beaten In the end, he could only defend himself to protect himself from injury.

Lou Xuan couldn't figure it out. He had been planning for so many years. Although some things had changed, the direction of things had not changed. He also summoned the army he secretly raised into the capital, hijacked his father, and persuaded his mother and concubine. Force the palace, why is this the case now?

It's true that those people belonged to him, otherwise, how could they have killed the Imperial Forest Army, and how could they have hijacked the Emperor Father? Could it be that something went wrong?

Or did Guard Li betray him?

As soon as this idea came up, Lou Xuan immediately rejected it. Guard Li has been with him for so long, has been loyal to him, and even saved his life, so it is impossible for him to betray him.

Just as he was in a trance, a senior sister took advantage of the situation and knocked out the sword in his hand. The next moment, several swords were placed around his neck.

"do not move."

Lou Xuan glanced at her contemptuously, he was just a bully, but he didn't say anything, because if it were him, he would treat others like this.

As long as you win, it doesn't matter what method you use.

"Fifth Prince, do you have many doubts, such as why none of your 1 elite soldiers listen to you? Or why the [-] soldiers didn't trap us?"

Lou Xuan was attracted by Wei Zisu's words, he looked at her, waiting for her answer.

After Wei Zisu came back from Songzhou, she told the emperor what she saw and heard in Huaibei, so when she learned that Lou Xuan forced the palace, she was not in a hurry, because she knew very well that all of this was just the emperor's fault. It's just a trick.

Lou Xuan couldn't wait anymore, he asked, "What did you do?"

"The fifth prince really thinks highly of me. I just told His Majesty that the fifth prince privately recruited soldiers and horses to form an army in Huaibei after returning to the capital. That’s all, master, let her take her disciples to Huaibei overnight, and mix with the army, after all, it is Zangfeng Villa’s duty to protect the people of Canglai.”

Xiao Yuanzhi took Wei Zisu's words and said: "So, Brother Emperor, your so-called 1 horses never went to the Princess Mansion at all."

Lou Xuan was stunned, he planned everything step by step, but he didn't expect to be defeated by a mere letter?

Based on the principle of not paying for death by anger, Xiao Yuanzhi continued to make up his knife and said: "Your army, because of the food shortage, what kind of situation will it be, brother, you don't know yet, the official silver you robbed is basically replaced by Ye Shan Now, only the surface layer is official silver."

Lou Xuan really became even more angry, he hates it, if he knew this, he should have got rid of her two in Songzhou at that time!

"Lou Xuan, as a prince, you have committed all kinds of evil deeds regardless of the life and death of the common people. Today, you are forced into the palace. Your crime is unpardonable. I will demote you to a commoner. Tomorrow at [-]:[-] noon, you will be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded for public display!"

The emperor's tone was majestic and frighteningly cold, as if it wasn't his son.

Concubine Liu Gui was terrified, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, begging Emperor Nian to spare Lou Xuan's life for the sake of past love, and took everything on herself.

Watching Concubine Liu Gui gnaw louder and louder, so that later, the blood from her forehead covered her cheeks, she didn't stop, and continued to kowtow to the emperor, Xiao Yuanzhi was a little moved, but it was only because of this Maternal love is moving.

There was an obvious change on Lou Xuan's face, "Mother, concubine, what do you beg him to do? He even killed his own son, so how could he be merciful? Don't waste your efforts."

Concubine Liu Gui didn't listen, she continued to beg for mercy, and said that Lou Xuan was still young and not sensible.

The disciples of Zangfeng Villa had never seen this scene before, their eyes were also attracted by Concubine Liu Gui, and the hand holding the knife naturally relaxed a lot, Lou Xuan took this opportunity to attack the two disciples.

Wei Zisu drew his sword out of its sheath, and quickly pulled Xiao Yuanzhi behind him.

Lou Xuan's target was not Xiao Yunzhi, he jumped up to Concubine Liu Gui in the chaos, and helped her up again, just when everyone thought this would be a touching scene of mother's kindness and filial piety, Lou Xuan's hand climbed up her neck .

"Don't move!" Lou Xuan's hand exerted a little force, "Let me go, or I'll kill her!"

Xiao Yunzhi recovered from the shock, "Lou Xuan, she is your mother!"

"Mother?" Lou Xuan glanced at Concubine Liu Gui who was strangled by him, then looked at Xiao Yunzhi, and said with a sneer, "Oh, it's just a vessel that gave birth to me, she should feel honored, she can give birth to me like this Excellent son, and now she can exchange her life for mine, she should be even more happy."

Xiao Yunzhi didn't know what to say, she didn't even know why there was such a person as Lou Xuan, the teacher of the Imperial College had never taught such things.

Just now Concubine Liu Gui begged his father to let him go, regardless of his life, not only was he not moved, he even killed his mother, which is worse than an animal.

"Prince sister, I really envy you. Your mother is the queen of the mother's world. You are born noble. No matter what you do, you can do whatever you want. There is also a father who protects you and a mother who protects you. Although I You are a prince, but you can't even get one-tenth of yours. If my mother and concubine were the empress, the position of crown prince would have been mine long ago."

For this kind of thing that is not even as good as livestock, it would be a waste for Wei Zisu to say a word, but what he said made her very uncomfortable. Everyone felt that Xiao Yunzhi was very lucky to enjoy all kinds of favors, but But no one thought about Xiao Yuanzhi.

"What honor, if you were taken away at birth, and you haven't seen your parents for more than ten years, you always thought you were an orphan, and every festival, watching others reunite with their families while you were alone, how could you still be alone?" Will you be envious? If you return to the palace, everything about you is restricted, you have no right to choose, you have to walk on the paved road, will you still envy? If someone you respect always wants to harm you, change another Would you still be envious of living alone? If no one wants you to live except a few close friends, parents, and close people, would you still be envious?"

I don't know when, when Xiao Yuanzhi looked at Wei Zisu, tears welled up in his eyes, and a warmth flowed to his limbs and bones in his heart.

"If the two of you exchanged your life, would you really envy it? At least your mother loved you, and you grew up under her care. She was willing to go all out even knowing that she would be held accountable. life to save you, and you should never treat her like this."

Lou Xuan dismissed this, "What kind of thing are you, I am a dignified prince, how can you allow a woman like you to preach in front of this palace, but you and the princess pretend to be Phoenix, I really don't know what tricks you used , so that Father and Emperor will recognize you."

Concubine Liu Gui was filled with grief. She never imagined that in the eyes of her painstakingly raised son, she was just a vessel that gave birth to him, as if everything she did was meaningless.

Concubine Liu Gui only glanced at the emperor, then took out the dagger she had prepared and stabbed it in the chest, the tip of the dagger passed through her and stabbed Lou Xuan...
