The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 210 The Finale
"Don't use any edicts to fool us anymore. We have already found out that Xu Zizheng is not a prince at all... His identity was all forged by you... Tell me, what is your purpose in doing this... ..."

"Don't be so bloody, Zizheng is indeed the prince, even if you kill me, it won't change the fact..."

The eldest grandson Jingrong raised his arms and said sarcastically: "Humph, that's really nice to say, so why is Xu Zizheng's birthday on the genealogy different from the one recorded in the palace? Do you think it's a mistake in the palace record, or Did you intentionally make Xu Zizheng a few months older than the prince?"

Xu Shikang's eyes dodged a little, and he said, "I don't know what you're talking about..."

"It's already this time, are you still pretending to be stupid? Xu Shikang, it's clear that you have an affair with the imperial concubine..."

"You are not allowed to insult the imperial concubine..." Xu Shikang suddenly became very excited and said angrily, "She is the best woman in the world. She is a dog. She was born prematurely, and finally died of depression..."

"So, you use your son to replace the prince, the purpose is to avenge the imperial concubine?" Changsun Jingrong said casually, "Don't quibble, we will say this because we have sufficient evidence. Anyway, you He has already been arrested, and Xu Zizheng is also in our hands. Even if you use your superb skills, you can't change anything. If he is the prince, the Empress Dowager will not keep him, but if he is just a pawn you use, Maybe we will find a way to plead with the Empress Dowager, maybe we can save his life. After all, the root of all evil is you..."

His eyes blinked unconsciously, and Xu Shikang asked, "Can you really ask the Empress Dowager to let the Zizheng go?"

"That depends on how you choose."

"Well, let me say, Zizheng... is indeed my son. Back then, when I learned of the tragic death of the imperial concubine, I wanted to avenge her. The dog emperor took her away but didn't know how to cherish it. Even their child I don't care about it, so I thought, one day, the dog emperor will suffer the consequences. In fact, I wanted to save the son of the imperial concubine, but I was one step too late, and he... is still gone."

Seeing that Xu Shikang was finally willing to tell the truth, Sima Xu hurriedly asked, "What about Xu Zizheng, who is your son?"

"His mother is an official prostitute. After she gave her son to me, she returned to the dance workshop. At the beginning, I wasn't sure if Zizheng was my son, but as time went by, I Finding out that he looks more and more like me calms down my doubts."

Looking at Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "Oh, you are really good, you can use your own son as a pawn. Don't you think about it for him? He really wants to do it. Is this the emperor?"

"He is my son, and I know him best. He has a natural ambition for power, so as long as he is given a start, he will naturally finish well."

"Indeed, it's very good." Changsun Jingrong glanced back and said, "Hey, you've been listening to it for a long time, shouldn't it be time to come out?"

Xu Shikang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. When he saw Xu Zizheng slowly appearing in front of his eyes, his heart was suddenly ashamed.

Xu Zizheng's eyes were lost, and he walked towards Xu Shikang step by step, staring straight at him, and mechanically asked: "What you said is true?"

Facing Xu Zizheng like this, Xu Shikang could only avoid him, not daring to face him.

But Xu Zizheng had a lot to say to him. He grabbed Xu Shikang by the collar and said with a half-cry and half-smile: "Do you know how I have lived these years? Mother, he just keeps training me, letting me To become stronger and better, I can't feel a little love... That's why I keep wanting more, because I can get my mother's appreciation, and she might look at me more. But then I know, When I was a prince, I was really happy at that time, because I knew that there was a reason why my mother didn't love me, not because I wasn't good enough, but because I was too good... She was just a slave, not qualified to love Me, but more people will love me in the future... But today, you broke all the dreams with your own hands and turned me into a complete joke... So I am not a prince at all, but just a child of a prostitute ...Xu Shikang, when you did this, did you really think about how I would feel...No one really cares about me, mother is like this, you are like this, eldest grandson Jingrong is like this, eldest grandson Wanyue is like this That's right, Liu Shuyun is like this, everyone around me is like this..."

Seeing Xu Zizheng who was gradually going crazy, Xu Shikang said excitedly: "I do all this to make you better... Wouldn't it be good for you to hold the power and sit on the highest seat in the world?"

"But what you sketched for me is just a hypocritical dream. You still want to use me to complete your revenge plan. So in the end, I'm just a chess piece that no one cares about..." He looked at it with red eyes In the vast sky, Xu Zizheng suddenly smiled strangely, and then murmured, "Let all the jokes end with me..."

After saying this, Xu Zizheng fell straight into the top of the mountain like last time.But this time, no one was standing behind him, he was like a falling leaf, fluttering down.

"No—" Xu Shikang lay on the edge of the cliff in pain, looking at Xu Zizheng who was getting further and further away, his face was full of pain.

Changsun Jingrong and Sima Xukong didn't expect Xu Zizheng, who was as proud as Xu Zizheng, would choose to end his own life.While shocked, he also ran to the top of the mountain, and frowned slightly when he saw the figure that had turned into a white spot.

Xu Zizheng naturally had something to hate about him, but after he disappeared, Changsun Jingrong suddenly found that he no longer hated him.Everyone has their own helplessness and humbleness, and so does Xu Zizheng. His pain is that no one treats him sincerely.The only thing he can do is to keep advancing on the hypocritical picture described by Xu Shikang, and finally one day, that picture can't bear Xu Shikang's ambition, making Xu Zizheng completely disappear in this world up.

After returning from the cliff, Sima Xurun had already captured all the remaining Xu Jiajun.But before everyone had time to celebrate, they received a shocking news.

"My lord, there is news from the capital that the third prince has kidnapped the little prince, imprisoned the empress dowager, and intends to establish himself as emperor..."

"What, I'm fighting here in the dark, and that bastard dared to start a fire in the backyard..." Sima Xurun patted the table indignantly, resentful and unwilling, thinking why the world peace he brought down by himself would make the world so peaceful. The third child took advantage of it? ...

Compared to Sima Xurun's agitation, Sima Xukong was much calmer, and murmured: "Third brother, I can't take it anymore."

"Hmph, I already knew that he sent General Zhen Guo out for no good, so it was just to make it easier for him to find things..."

Patting Sima Xurun on the shoulder, Sima Xukong said: "Don't talk about that, let's go back to Beijing and see how to rescue the little prince and the empress dowager."

"Now, it's the only way..."

But when the army returned to the capital in mighty force, news came from the capital again, saying that the crisis had been lifted, the third prince had been killed, and the little prince and the empress dowager were safe and sound.

Hearing this news, Sima Xukong couldn't help feeling strange.With the means of the Third Prince, since he has already controlled the capital, he is fully prepared. How could he be so well-behaved and die suddenly?
Feeling that something was wrong, Sima Xukong speeded up his return to Beijing. After the crowd rushed back to the capital, the Empress Dowager ordered people to line up a guard of honor at the city gate to welcome the hero's triumphant return.

Sima Xukong and Sima Xurun went to the palace together to meet the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager had a ruddy complexion and looked in a good mood.

Sima Xurun had a straight temper, before he exchanged a few pleasantries, he asked: "Empress Dowager, I heard that the third prince rebelled, is it true?"

The complexion sank slightly, and the Empress Dowager said with a bit of heartache: "Yeah, it's really a scandal, I didn't expect the third prince, who is so trusted by the Ai family, to have the heart of rebellion... He was imprisoned that day. The Ai family took away the little prince, and the Ai family knew that he must have watched you wipe out the Xu family, and he couldn't sit still... He must be planning to control the capital and usurp the throne before you come back... But, He also underestimated Aijia, thinking that Aijia was just a useless old woman. In fact, the little prince he took away was a fake. The real little prince, Aijia had already been handed over to General Lin. Aijia once told General Lin, if the Ai family cannot summon his wife every five days and let her secretly bring the little prince into the palace to show to the Ai family, then it will prove that someone is rebelling. Seeing that the Ai family has been quiet for five days, General Lin decided to A few days later, he asked to see Ai's family, but was blocked by the third prince, and he knew what was going on. That night, General Lin led all the guards in the capital, and cooperated with the people inside and outside, intercepted and killed the third prince, and rescued him. Aijia."

Although the matter was over, and the Empress Dowager described it calmly, there was no need to talk about the bloody storm involved.

Looking at Sima Xurun, Sima Xukong said: "I really didn't expect that the third prince is such a person. Hey, the empress dowager was frightened..."

"It's good that the Ai family has you, Long Rui's heroes, otherwise, the Ai family really doesn't know if they can protect Long Rui's country."

Sima Xukong cupped his hands, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the Empress Dowager, for the sake of the little prince and Long Rui, the ministers will definitely be devastated..."

Seeing Sima Xukong talking about the scene, Sima Xurun also cupped his hands and said: "Yes, the empress dowager, there are ministers waiting, I will definitely take good care of the little prince and make him a generation of Mingjun..."

Frowning and looking at Sima Xurun, Sima Xukong said impatiently: "Second brother is wrong, the little prince is talented, what can we do for you?"

Seeing that Sima Xukong's tone had a bit of gunpowder, the second prince's face also changed, and the empress dowager intervened and said: "Hey, what the second prince said is quite right. In the future, the Ai family and the little prince will return I have to rely on the two of you, hehe..."

The two of them told the empress dowager about the deeds of exterminating the Xu family army, and the empress dowager also showed a look of surprise or worry, and the whole afternoon passed unconsciously.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager looked a little tired, Sima Xukong stood up and said goodbye to the Empress Dowager.As for Sima Xurun's words, he seemed a little unhappy. When he saw Sima Xukong leaving, he got up and followed him out.

The Empress Dowager saw that the two people were indifferent to each other, her eyes sank slightly, and she propped her forehead with her wrist, and sighed faintly for some reason.

Coming out from the Empress Dowager, Sima Xukong walked quickly ahead, as if he wanted to keep a distance from Sima Xurun.The more Sima Xurun thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally in a place where no one was around, he reached out and stopped Sima Xukong, and asked impatiently, "Hey, what did you mean by that just now? , embarrass me in front of the Empress Dowager...?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Sima Xukong smiled helplessly, and said, "Second brother, you have seen the methods of the Empress Dowager, do you think she would be happy to see our relationship get closer? The Empress Dowager today What you say is for us to hear."

After Sima Xukong mentioned this point, Sima Xurun figured out the reason, and couldn't help but said with some annoyance: "You've worked so hard to keep the country, but you're still being feared by others. It's really annoying."

Sima Xukong smiled indifferently, and said: "Actually, the Empress Dowager can't be blamed. If it weren't for her prudence, the capital would already belong to the Third Prince. It might not be easy for us to regain it. It's just that The Empress Dowager has both advantages and disadvantages, as long as she is around, her relatives may be allowed to intervene in politics in the future."

But Sima Xurun just felt very angry, folded his arms and complained: "We have a share of the credit for being able to keep the country. This reward is nothing at all, but it arouses suspicion. No, we can't put down the country. We can't let people with ulterior motives people who are taken for nothing..."

"Then... the second brother agreed to be the regent with me?"

Touching his nose, Sima Xurun said: "It seems more fulfilling to be able to witness the growth of a little emperor from childhood, and to teach him how to rule the country, than to sit in that seat himself. But, the emperor The Queen Mother is always a hidden danger."

"But don't you think the existence of the Empress Dowager is also very necessary. Without her, the interests of all parties cannot be weighed. Therefore, with her, the country will be more peaceful. At least, on the surface, it is like this."

Seeing that Sima Xukong's analysis was clear and logical, coupled with the new understanding of Sima Xukong along the way, Sima Xurun couldn't help saying sincerely: "Ninth brother, if you want to fight for this country, there must be no one who is your opponent."

After hearing this, Sima Xukong quickly waved his hands and said, "Whoever wants to take over this mess, I think he will be my Prince Xiaoyao..." After finishing speaking, Sima Xukong quickly left the rockery.

Seeing Sima Xukong almost running away, Sima Xurun couldn't help grinning heartily.

On the tenth day of the tenth month of October, when the air is high and the air is clear in autumn, everything in the world is peaceful and prosperous. The enthronement ceremony of the little prince was also chosen on this day.

The enthronement ceremony was lively and grand. As the regent, Sima Xukong followed the little prince all the way, with a solemn face and proper manners. His handsome and free and easy figure really captivated many girls.

It's just that the eldest grandson Jingrong, who was standing in the corner, could only secretly find it funny when he saw the man in a uniform standing there meticulously.Because, she could already hear the man complaining impatiently in his heart, maybe he was still thinking that when this lengthy ceremony was over, he would definitely shake the heavy clothes aside.

After the ceremony, there was a grand banquet in the palace. The eldest grandson Jingrong really didn't like the noise, so he went back to the palace with the excuse of feeling unwell.

She knew that Sima Xukong would be busy until very late today, so she didn't wait for him, had some dinner by herself, and then lay down early to rest.

Returning to a peaceful life, the previous turmoil seems to have happened a long, long time ago. Lying alone in the night, recalling those bitter and sweet days, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help feeling The sense of vicissitudes soon sank into a dream.

It's just that tonight, Changsun Jingrong slept very restlessly, she always felt as if someone was squeezing her, moving around, making her restless.She had no choice but to open her eyes with resentment, looked at the smiling man beside her, and said impatiently: "You are really noisy..."

With crooked eyebrows and eyes, Sima Xukong squeezed inside again, and said, "Jingrong, since you're awake, can we do something that we haven't done in three years of marriage?"

Moving his body inward, Changsun Jingrong asked knowingly, "What?"

Shyly bumping Changsun Jingrong's shoulder, Sima Xukong smiled and said, "Oh, you know."

"I'm not sure."

"You don't know?" Sima Xukong leaned over half of his body and looked at Changsun Jingrong, and said, "I tell you, you promised me, you said that when you return to the capital, you will give it to me once everything is stable." , you are not allowed to play tricks..."

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and Changsun Jingrong said deliberately disgusted: "Hey, you just came back from the palace, you smell like alcohol, you're going to stink to death, get away from me..."

Hearing this, Sima Xu hurriedly opened his nightgown, flickered the skirt of his robe, and said flauntingly: "I've already bathed, and I even used flower petals. My lady, come and smell it. Does it smell good? Just smell it... hey, don't hide..."

In the room, the spring is strong, but outside the room, the flowers are just in time, the moon is full, a belated sweetness, finally on this peaceful moonlit night, happy flowers bloom.
