Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 653 What If I Don't Want To?

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the queen rushed to the hall with Madam Xue.

"Miss?"

Just when Madam Xue was puzzled, the queen ordered the guards to knock down the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At that time, Murong Ze had a dagger stuck in his heart, and his bright yellow dragon robe was also stained with blood, his face was very pale.

"My lord! Send the imperial physician!" Xie Wanru hurried to Murong Ze's side, shouting loudly!

Even the well-informed Madam Xue was shocked by such a scene, the Holy Majesty was assassinated quietly!
A quarter of an hour later, the imperial physician hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The imperial physician took Murong Ze's pulse tremblingly, and after confirming that he was still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Please rest assured, the dagger has deviated from the Holy Majesty's heart, so there is no danger for the Holy Majesty's life!"

"If something happens to the Holy One, I will let the entire Tai Hospital be buried with me!"

"The humble minister will die with dedication and devotion!"

Two days passed in a flash.

Tang Huanxi looked at Xiao Baorui who was expressionless and silent, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Xiao Baorui, have you... thought it through?"

If they hadn't gone to Jinling to investigate Xiao Baorui's life experience, they would not have learned the truth about the destruction of the Xiao family in Jinling;
If they didn't know the truth about the destruction of the Xiao family in Jinling, Xiao Baorui would not have gone to the northwest to make military contributions, let alone become a third-rank general who needed to return to Beijing to report on his duties.

If all of this had never happened, and they lived in seclusion in Yunshui County and became a couple of immortals, how good would it be?

"My lady, I... don't seem to have the right to choose." Xiao Baorui looked at her and smiled wryly, "No one has ever asked me for my opinion."

He turned out to be Concubine Lan's own son, Murong Chen.

But from the moment he was born, Concubine Lan Gui tried every means to send him to the Xiao family in Jinling.

Later, something happened to the Xiao family, and his memory was erased by Uncle Xu. He changed from Xiao Jingchen to Xiao Baorui.

Now, he is going to change from Xiao Baorui to Murong Chen again, but no one has ever asked him if he wants to change?

I don't want to be trapped in the vortex of power, but I have to face it.

"I know," Tang Huanxi looked at his expression, feeling very sad in his heart, "Xiao Baorui, why don't we leave the Great Yong Dynasty? The world is so big, there is always a place for us."

"My lady, thank you." Xiao Baorui gently held her hand, and took her into his arms, his eyes filled with infinite warmth, "It's just that we are already in it, so how can we get out so easily?"

Now the relationship between them and Murong Ze has reached the point of death, not to mention that they still have family members living in Yunshui County.

"No matter what choice you make, I will always be by your side." Tang Huanxi looked into his eyes and said firmly.

"Ok, I know."

The lady will always be his most steadfast backing.

"If we learn from an unknown person and offend rebellion, we will definitely be cast aside by the people of the world," Xiao Baorui said softly after thinking for a while, "therefore, the most urgent thing is to find the last imperial edict left by the former emperor. Carry on with the next thing."

"I think Jing Yuan must know the whereabouts of the will."

"I'll go see her." Xiao Baorui was silent for a moment, and finally said in a deep voice.

At that time, Xiao Jingyuan was writing a letter with a pen in her room. After the ink dried up, she raised her hand and blew a whistle. A white carrier pigeon immediately landed in front of the window.

She tied the letter to the pigeon's leg and let it fly.

dong dong——

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Xiao Jingyuan's thoughts.

"Big brother?"

"Jing Yuan, I already know my background," Xiao Baorui looked at her with complicated eyes.

"Brother, even if you are not my real elder brother, I know that you have been raised in the Xiao family since you were a child. Although we are not real brothers and sisters, we are better than brothers and sisters, aren't we?"

"why?"

Xiao Baorui looked at her and asked sadly, "Why do you deliberately confuse my sight and make me think that you are my own sister even though you know my identity well? Entering the palace as a concubine? Also, why did you pass the news to the queen after hurting Murong Ze? Jing Yuan, what is your purpose after doing so much?"

"Brother..." Xiao Jingyuan lowered her eyes to cover the complicated look in her eyes, and her tone was full of sadness, "Brother, you should have been the proud son of heaven, you should have been the Holy One of the Great Yong Dynasty, but Murong Ze snatched you away." Everything about you! Don't you hate him at all?"

"Hate him? I didn't know my background from the beginning, so why should I hate Murong Ze?"

"Brother, you are the son of the first emperor and Concubine Lan, and you are the third prince Murong Chen! What's more, as long as you are willing, my father will come up with a will to help you ascend the throne as emperor!"

"Jing Yuan, do you know what you are doing?"

"I know very well," Xiao Jingyuan looked at him with burning eyes, "Brother, now Murong Ze has determined that you are the one who wants to take over his country, so you have no choice but to take out the will to restore your own identity." .”

"What if I don't want to?"

"Brother, I don't want to confront you head-on. If you don't want to raise your troops to rebel, my father will take people to bloody Yunshui County!"

"You!" Xiao Baorui felt his throat tingle and was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak!

"Brother, accept the arrangement of fate!"

At the end of August, the autumn wind blows and the drums of war beat.

Because there was no rain for more than two consecutive months, a series of peasant uprisings broke out in dozens of cities in the Yong Dynasty.

Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After Murong Ze finished reading the memorial handed over by the people below, his entire face was black as carbon!

"It just doesn't make sense!"

Nowadays, there are rumors among the people that Murong Ze's throne was stolen by him. What's more, there are rumors that the former emperor had already issued a will to confer the title of Murong Chen, the third prince born of Concubine Lan Gui, as the crown prince.

It is precisely because Murong Ze's throne was stolen by him that God is dissatisfied. There has been no rain for several months, causing the drought to spread and the people to live in dire straits.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Eunuch Fu hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty, don't get angry, the imperial doctor said, Your Majesty needs to take good care of your body!"

"Is there any news about those assassins?" Murong Ze ordered the Yulin Army to start a large-scale search for Xiao Baorui and Tang Huanxi since the moment he woke up, but now almost half a month has passed, and the Yulin Army has been There is no news!

Xiao Baorui is Murong Chen who was born by Concubine Lan Gui, and they have the last emperor's edict in their hands.

Thinking of these, Murong Ze couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. General Lin sent someone two days ago to say that they found traces of those assassins in Chaozhou, so this old slave thought that catching the assassins would be just around the corner!"
