Distressed Concubine

Chapter 348 All the Prosperity Comes to an End 5
Xiao Yu gracefully approached the phoenix couch, with a trace of satisfaction on the corners of her lips, which she was happy to see.

Anyway, it wasn't her who started the trouble, was it?

Smile lightly. "The Ai family also thinks this proposal is good, that's fine! Let's express our opinions! It's just..." Xiao Yu glanced at Nalan Ruixue lightly. "If Ai's family wins, how will my grandson-in-law take on the crime of disrespect!"

"I leave the belly to you! Are you satisfied?" Nalan Ruixue put her arms in her arms and leaned lightly on the dragon case.

Xiao Yu nodded. "You must keep your word!"

"I always keep my word! But if I win, how can the imperial grandmother calm down the anger in my heart?" Nalan Ruixue glanced at Xiao Yu and smiled lightly.

"What do you want?" Xiao Yu turned his eyes slightly, showing a bit of disdainful anger, and also a little curious. When the handle in his hand is presented and her face is exposed, how can she win when she is bound to lose? ?

The confidence and calmness in her eyes make people feel that she is a proud queen who never fights uncertain battles.

Nalan Ruixue stared at the floating clouds in the sky, breathing lightly. "I want your head on the neck!"

The conversation between the two was not loud at the moment, only the people in the hall could hear it. Xiao Yu laughed out of joy as if he had heard some peerless joke. "Okay! The Ai family will make this bet with you, let's see how you take the head of the Ai family in full view today!" At the end, he glanced contemptuously. "The Ai family thought you were a brainy person, but now it seems that you know what it means to send someone to death faster than Lord Hades! Overthinking your abilities!"

Nalan Ruixue smiled. "It's not a bet, it's an absolute!"

The haughty look made Xiao Yu stare coldly, and his killing intent gradually became stronger.

The long swords faced each other, and all the civil and military officials looked at each other. Most of the old officials bowed their heads silently, knelt down one by one, and kowtowed to Xiao Yu.

Such a choice is simply frightening, with a knife handle behind them, how can they choose?
The almost one-sided form made Xiao Yu unable to stop smiling.

"Hey! This seems obvious without comparison?"

Nalan Ruixue glanced at her lightly and smiled disdainfully. "Have you really thought about it? Have you ever thought about the fact that the prince is not dead, and you will put yourselves in coffins with your obeisance!"

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this.

not dead?If the regent is not dead, then their behavior is definitely a rebellion!

It's one thing to follow the orphan, but the master is still there, and it's another thing to worship him!
At that moment, many people hurriedly got up again and knelt down at Nalan Ruixue's feet.

The turmoil in Xiao Yu's heart was stronger than anyone else's. He stared at the coffin carried by 16 people in the arena, wishing to see through it.

not dead?How could he not be dead?The killer who escaped made it very clear that Bei Gongcheng had no chance of being alive in the cold moon cave!
Do not!This is impossible!

Xiao Yu's sharp fingertips were clenched tightly on the armrest of the phoenix couch, and he half-closed his eyes and looked at Nalan Ruixue viciously. "What are you talking about, daughter-in-law? If Sheng'er is not dead, and the funeral is held today, are you fooling the world?"

Nalan Ruixue smiled lightly. "I'm asking, have you ever thought that the prince is not dead, and the implication is that he may also be dead. Why is the emperor's grandmother so worried?"

As soon as this remark came out, many officials shouted that they had been fooled again. The coffin has been brought here, is it still there?Immediately got up and knelt down towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu stared coldly, calmly remembering the faces of the people who had returned from the defection one by one, with a deep warning in his eyes, which made people who were a little bit nervous not dare to act rashly at this moment.

Nalan Ruixue's chuckle is even more beautiful, she looks at the sky with a faint arc on her lips, watching the snowflakes falling profusely on the sky and the earth, watching the floating clouds condense into Bei Gongcheng's smile, watching the deep sky transform into his deep love eyes.

She stopped talking, just staring at the sky quietly.

Anyway, all that needs to be said has been said, as for how they choose to follow their hearts.

After the time passed, she looked down at a group of young officials who had been kneeling in front of her without any hesitation at any time, and a gratified smile slowly floated on the corners of her lips.

Almost four-fifths of the officials in the audience knelt down to Xiao Yu's side. Looking at the officials trained by Beigong Chu, Xiao Yuning became more and more murderous, and gave the "emperor" a wink. The "Emperor" understood, and hurriedly said angrily: "Are you planning to turn against me! Zhen, Zhen is still here, what do you mean by worshiping the regent princess!"

The first and second grade Xiangfu, who were the leaders, kowtowed quietly. "The emperor once said that if one day the regent king and the regent princess need it, let me wait to follow to the death. A month ago, the emperor even told us Yuzhao and the regent king. It is the emperor's golden words, the world of Beichang It belongs to the Prince Regent. Eight years ago, Empress Dowager Xiao took control of the government and tampered with the imperial edict, so that when I faced a choice one day, I would rather give up the life of the Emperor than the Lord Regent!"

Xiangfu's words clanged loudly, and the voice spread throughout every corner of the hall.

Nalan Ruixue's heart trembled slightly, thinking of Bei Gongchu who hadn't seen him many times, and she didn't even like her, and recalled Bei Gongchu's long-awaited look in front of the imperial mausoleum.

Did he make all the plans from that day on?Giving up everything, including himself?He would rather give up his life than abandon Sheng's Lord.

Such a kind of courage and mind must not only be the love for his younger brother, but perhaps he was born with blood, and he should be honored. For Beichang, the two lonely brothers can only walk through the last journey hand in hand.Bei Gongchu has been silently helping Sheng take care of the country.

For Bei Gongchu, the last thing he can do to help Sheng is to give up his own life and not be his drag.

That's why...Bei Gongchu is lying on the couch without a trace of will to survive...

Xiao Yu was furious. "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The Prime Minister was not afraid, took a casual look at Xiao Yu, pulled out a thick stack of long scrolls from the sleeve robe, and pulled out a length of dozens of feet with the people behind him.

He said sonorously, "This is an appeal against thieves written by the emperor, Beigong Chu himself! May I ask what the first sentence of 'Emperor' is?"

The "Emperor" was stunned, sat back in confusion, and looked at Xiao Yu nervously.

Xiangfu sneered, he was not timid because of the magnificent sword lights of the three thousand knives and axes on the field, and he was not disturbed by the many bureaucrats beside Xiao Yu.He knelt very calmly, and the officials around him all kept their faces silent, exuding a heroic spirit of being a hero in life and a hero in death, disregarding all power over life and death.

The Prime Minister opened his mouth slowly: "A thousand years of prosperity, a hundred years of strife, there is Emperor Ming De on the top, and there is the Emperor Ghost Axe on the bottom. I am respectful to my career, and I am destined to inherit the will of heaven..."

He recited the content of the long scroll in his hand word by word, each sentence was deeply rooted in people's hearts, and each sentence was a deeply hated accusation against Xiao Shi.Everyone believed more and more that the emperor on stage was no longer Bei Gongchu!
Xiao Yu's face became more and more gloomy, and he said angrily: "Enough!"

"What is enough? Is this enough?" Nalan Ruixue smiled lightly and turned the headline to Grand Master Ning. "Grand Master Ning, have you ever thought about it?"

Xiao Yu was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help laughing at the end, expecting Grand Master Ning to take refuge with the unborn child in her womb?It's ridiculous!Grand Master Ning is probably more eager to kill that child than himself!
Grand Master Ning looked up at Nalan Ruixue deeply, then turned his head to meet the gaze of his daughter Ning Yuran, and finally knelt down slowly and said, "I will follow the Beigong clan to the death! Long live the Northern Zhao Emperor! !"

what!The audience was in an uproar, what's going on?Master Ning?
Grand Master Ning slowly took out an imperial decree from the sleeve, and unfolded it in front of everyone. "The first emperor's edict! There are triplicate copies, one into the palace, one into the tomb, and one in the hands of the veterans! My Beigong family established a foundation and established a business, descending to Kunming, Siping Hongtian, and Dingding Central Plains. However, no one has a hundred years. I know that the destiny is near, so I pass on the sixteenth son, Bei Gongcheng.... I should be close to you, and I will give you a book, hereby!"

The audience was in an uproar, and countless people were stunned in place.

It turns out... what the Princess Regent said was right, Xiao Yu and the Empress Dowager Xiao really tampered with the imperial edict!And they have been worshiping the wrong master all these years!turn out to be!Bei Gongcheng is their true son in Beichang!

After receiving the complaint from everyone's eyes, Xiao Yu felt that Feng Guan was trembling slightly.

No!She has waited for so long, just to orderly bring the Beigong family's country for the sake of fame and fortune!What is this now?
Rebellious ministers and thieves?Foreign relatives stealing the country?
She dare not imagine how the people of the world will think of her when these words are spread out of the palace today, usurping power!This kind of rebellious people will mutiny even if they don't change, Nalan Ruixue is so powerful, I'm afraid he can coerce the emperor to command the princes, and he can command the rest of Bei Gongcheng's troops with his stomach!

As if receiving the resentment in her eyes, Nalan Ruixue turned her head and swept away. "Don't worry, there are more!"

and also?Xiao Yu was startled, a chill quickly rushed into her mind, looking at the calmness in Nalan Ruixue's cold eyes, she finally realized that she seemed to have underestimated this woman!

Nalan Ruixue smiled faintly, facing the submissive official who didn't know how to choose at first, slowly took out a square box from the sleeve robe.

Then he said word by word: "The Chuan Guo Yuxi is in the hands of this palace! What doubts do you have?"

After finishing speaking, he smashed the wooden box on the case table, and the loud noise caused the court ladies and guards present to kneel down one after another, and the officials also prostrated themselves on the ground.

"My minister is terrified! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Xiao Yu was stunned, touched the Chuan Guo Yuxi that was about to be taken out from the sleeve robe, and his fingertips began to tremble.

how is this possible?The jade seal has always been in her hands. She has controlled the court for many years, whether it is tampering with Huang Zhao or turning the government inside, it all depends on this jade seal. With this seal, Beigong Yue has no choice but Beigong Chu has nothing to do , Bei Gongsheng can't help it either!

Where did Nalan Ruixue get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo?

Immediately roared: "Presumptuous! Chuan Guo Yuxi has always been in the hands of Aijia! Where did you get the counterfeit!"

After one sentence, the audience was in an uproar. It turns out... Xiao Yu used this to control the decision-making of the court?It's no wonder that these years, the ministers of government and state affairs clearly negotiated things that the emperor passed, but the final edict has changed!

Nalan Ruixue smiled lightly. "Fake? I believe that you have read a lot of imperial edicts over the years, right? Come on, I am generous today, and I will show you whether the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in my hands is real or not!"

Throwing the wooden box towards the crowd, it happened to land in the arms of an old minister.

Everyone opened the wooden box and kept deliberating.

In the end, everyone turned pale and hurriedly knelt down in the middle of the hall. "The old minister is ignorant, and he still hopes that the empress will forgive him for his crimes. Xiao Yu! It is an unforgivable crime for you to usurp political power, mutilate the emperor's servants, and hurt my emperor!"

Xiao Yu turned pale, and Nalan Ruixue walked up to her step by step, and said with a sneer, "Grandmother, do you really think that the Jinghua Tianxia in this palace is a show?"

Xiao Yu was startled, remembered something, and said in surprise: "You..."
