From Shadowguard to Queen [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 108 108

One hundred and eight

The New Year in the palace is not very lively, but as long as Xiao Weixin is with you, You Shu feels that there is nothing wrong with it.

Soon after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Weixin also officially began to deal with state affairs. The position of prime minister was vacated, and Shen Qingyu was temporarily in charge. Although he was young, his achievements over the past few years were there. Even if there are veterans in the court who are dissatisfied, they dare not say anything.

It was only on the first day of the court that Xiao Weixin resolutely dismissed a bunch of people, all of whom were dishonest people, and established a new trend in the court, so that everyone under the court would know, no matter what position he was in In fact, if you can't be conscientious and diligent, you will lose your black hat.

For a while, the entire court was quiet, and no one dared to provoke again.

However, there are also people who have raised serious opinions.

"A country cannot be without a mother for a day. The emperor has only been enthroned for a few days, but the harem is still empty. Right now, it is still time for a big draft. Only the queen of the middle palace can be selected, so that the world can be stabilized."

Xiao Weixin heard them suddenly bring up the issue of setting up a queen, which is logically reasonable. Since ancient times, the new emperor has always had a queen, but he does not have one. The people below are naturally moved, and they all have daughters People, who doesn't want to seize the opportunity and stuff their daughter into the harem?

"Aiqing is right." Xiao Weixin nodded thoughtfully, "A country cannot live without a mother, and the harem should indeed find someone to take care of it."

He paused at this point, and then said: "However, I have just ascended the throne, and the internal and external problems of the court have not been resolved. I really have no intention of drafting."

"But the queen candidate... I have already made a decision."

Set, set?

The courtiers looked at each other, and they saw shock and bewilderment in each other's eyes. Before they came, they had inquired about it in private. When I was still the prince, there was only one side concubine in the mansion. Duan was abandoned, there should be no one around him, why did he suddenly have a candidate?

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask boldly, who is the future empress, who is the lady?" Someone stood up and asked. There was obviously no news before, where did this empress come from?

Xiao Weixin looked down at these courtiers with different faces from the dragon chair, and replied with a half-smile: "It's not a lady."

"It's a man."

His words were as powerful as throwing a bomb under the court, and the complexions of the officials changed drastically. Some of them who were not psychologically strong even frightened off the wat cards in their hands on the spot. Everyone looked at each other again, for fear of their own My ears don't work and I hear wrong.

man?

If it's not that the emperor is crazy, then they are crazy?

Shen Qingyu, who had been prepared for this, sighed deeply at the next place.

He knew it would be like this, but this one was too nonsense, and he suddenly said it to the court without discussing it with them, those old stubborn people were afraid to be scared to death.

Compared to his calmness, Yang Qixian, King Qin, King Yong, and Liu Tiezhu, who was promoted to General Zuo for his meritorious service in the rebellion, were equally calm. The emperor's love for him was so profound, so he didn't come out to express his opinion, which was not surprising at all.

But the other courtiers didn't have such a good ability to accept. After reacting, one by one began to cry and call their parents to kneel down and beg him to take back his life.

It's really hard for them to be courtiers. The former emperor loved beauty. He recruited newcomers to the palace day and night, and played songs every night. The new emperor is not lecherous, but he doesn't want women, he insists on picking a man. Be queen.

Left and right just don't take their feelings seriously at all.

Xiao Weixin didn't have the patience to listen to their tearful kowtows, he just glanced at them lightly, and said coldly: "My intention has been decided, there is no room for change."

"If there is nothing wrong with you, let's retreat first."

After all, he stood up from the dragon chair on his own, and walked out calmly, completely caring about the life and death of the people below.

After leaving the main hall, the sun outside had just risen, Xiao Weixin thought about going back to accompany You Shu to have breakfast, and drove back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After finishing morning exercises, You Shu was already waiting for him, his internal strength had already been exhausted. When he recovered to [-]% to [-]%, Xiao Weixin raised him very carefully, and he was willing to give him any expensive supplements, and his bones healed very quickly.

He still didn't know about the bomb that Xiao Weixin dropped in the previous court, and he didn't know that because of him, those courtiers were going to die to remonstrate him, and even regarded him as a male vixen who confused the emperor.

Xiao Weixin walked over the snow, with a relaxed body, and from the smile on his face, he was in a good mood. You Shu looked back at him, and also smiled lightly: "You're back?"

"Yeah." Xiao Weixin walked to him, "Have you eaten yet?"

You Shu retracted the sword to his waist, nodded upon hearing this, "Of course I'm waiting for you."

"It just so happened that news came back, let's talk while eating."

Xiao Weixin is currently busy with government affairs, so the task of receiving information falls into the hands of You Shu. The Shadow Guard Battalion has not been disbanded yet, and they are all temporarily left in the Mausoleum Palace, and they are still operating step by step. After all, there are still some things that have not been fully resolved. good.

"Master Zhao sent a letter, saying that too... that criminal woman is about to give birth, and it will only take two days."

Xiao Weixin casually stirred the porridge in his hand, he didn't like too many people to serve him when he was eating, so the palace people retreated far away, only You Shu was by his side, after hearing what he said, he said: "How about Zhao Shen?" explain?"

You Shu stuffed a dumpling in his mouth, shook his head and said, "I don't know what he was thinking, he didn't say much in the letter, he just told us that she was going to give birth."

"He has always had his own opinion, let him do it." Xiao Weixin said lightly, "Since he won't say more, he must have thought it over."

You Shu hesitated for a while, then sighed suddenly: "But, if that woman really gave birth to a child, with this kind of relationship, I'm afraid Mr. Zhao won't be able to deal with her ruthlessly."

Xiao Weixin seemed to have remembered something, silently shook his head, "Let's eat."

He didn't mention the matter of becoming a queen at court this morning, and he was thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to talk about it, fearing that Xiao Shu would not agree.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the traitor Xia Maoan and his henchmen were dragged to Caishikou together, paraded through the streets, and executed on the spot.It is said that during the parade, the people who had already hated him so much surrounded both sides of the road, and threw the prepared rotten eggs into the prison car one after another to relieve their hatred of being abused by the Xia family for many years.

On the 21st of the first lunar month, in a farm far outside the city.

Empress Dowager Xia raised her baby in the village with peace of mind for several months, with her lover by her side, she had nothing to worry about, and she couldn't even think of contacting her brother and son, she was as happy as a carefree girl , is about to give birth, even though she is no longer a suitable childbearing age, but she can only give birth to a child for her lover, she can only be full of joy.

In the early morning before dawn, her stomach began to throb, and the amniotic fluid flowed all over the bed, which was a precursor to labor.

The doctor who had been on standby for a long time rushed into the house with the box and the midwife, while Mr. Yusheng sat beside Shi Zhuo outside the house, drinking tea by himself, listening to the heart-rending voice of a woman coming from inside the house. The pain of the lungs screamed, and there was no emotion on the face. It didn't look cold like the woman in it who created the gate of hell for her own children.

The sun rose from the east until noon, but there was still a lot of movement inside, the woman's screams of pain still refused to stop, he could even hear her keep calling "Sheng Lang", as if it was her Redemption of the moment.

Yusheng was still drinking tea slowly, as if she had never heard of it.

It wasn't until the afternoon that a baby's cry was finally heard in the house.

Yusheng looked up, and at some point, most of the snow on the branches had melted, and the ground was dripping with water, Lang Zhong came out of the house covered in blood, walked to him and whispered: "Young master... gave birth. "

"Yeah." Yusheng nodded, without even asking if it was a man or a woman, "Go down."

The doctor didn't dare to ask more questions, and walked away quickly carrying the box.

Yusheng sat outside for a while, and then got up and walked into the room. When he opened the curtain, he saw the woman on the bed who had just experienced a life-and-death catastrophe, sleeping soundly and exhausted. The corners of her mouth were chapped and her eyes were bruised.

And in the cradle not far from her, a newborn baby was sleeping, wrapped in a red swaddle.

Standing in front of the cradle, Yusheng just glanced at it, and then she was taken away by the nurse who was waiting beside her.

When the Empress Dowager woke up the next morning, there was no movement in the room. She coughed lightly and called softly, "Sheng Lang."

Through the tulle bed curtains, she could vaguely see her lover sitting at the table with her back behind his back. Seeing his familiar figure, she was relieved.For some reason, she had a terrible nightmare just now. She dreamed that her brother and son had died tragically. After waking up from the dream, she was still a little scared.

"Sheng Lang?"

Seeing that the man didn't move, the queen mother yelled again, feeling a little puzzled.

Yusheng finally made a movement and slowly turned sideways.

The noon sun came in through the half-open window, and Yusheng was sitting in the shade of the sun, she seemed to be wiping something in her hand, and through the reflection, the Queen Mother saw that it seemed to be a long sword.

For some reason, it was a very warm scene, but she was inexplicably terrified, "Sheng Lang, what are you doing?"

"Where's our baby?"

Yusheng slowly wiped the sword blade clean with a handkerchief, then put the sword on the table, and then replied: "Do you want to see me? I'll let someone carry it."

After a while, the nurse really came in with the baby in her arms.The queen mother happily took it over and hugged it in her arms, teased for a while before laughing: "It's a boy, Sheng Lang has a queen."

At this time, she looked like an ordinary woman, happy for her husband to have a son, not at all like the arrogant, domineering and vicious queen mother back then.

Yusheng got up and walked over slowly, standing by the bed and quietly watching the infant child, she didn't make a sound for a long time, the silence was terrifying.

The queen mother noticed something strange and looked up at him.

Her Sheng Lang stood in front of her with his back to the sunlight, his face was unpredictable, but she felt chills in her heart, always felt that he was a terrible executioner at the moment.

And the next second, Yusheng finally raised her hand, and gently stroked the baby's face, as if sighing: "It's a lovely child."

The queen mother showed a smile, and before she could speak, she heard him continue.

"It's a pity, but it's a wicked species."

The Queen Mother's smile froze on her face.

The next moment, Yu Sheng took the baby from her arms, and threw him hard on the collapsed stone brick in an instant.

The baby who was babbling just now suddenly became silent.

Yusheng's eyes were red, like a wild ghost from hell.

The queen mother had no time to move, and could only watch her newborn child being thrown to death by her biological father, and suddenly cried out in heart-piercing pain, like an ordinary mother who lost her child, almost falling into madness.

She even ignored her weakness after giving birth, climbed out of the bed, screamed while holding the swaddling baby, her hair was disheveled and her whole body was shaking.

Yusheng stood aside and looked at her coldly, without any regret.

"Does it hurt?"

"That's right."

"At the beginning, when you killed 78 people in my Zhao family, did you ever think about today?"

Yusheng raised her head, the smile on the corner of her mouth was as cold as snow that hadn't melted for a thousand years.
