The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 372: Provoking the Queen

Xiao Rui came to the Changchun Palace, and after the female official passed on the news, Queen Zhou Xiangyun received him.

After entering the hall, Xiao Rui saluted and said: "My minister pays homage to the Empress Empress, and wishes her youth and prosperity forever."

"Excuse me, His Royal Highness King Xian has a heart, so give me a seat." Queen Zhou Xiangyun heard that Xiao Rui came to pay her respects. Although she was surprised, she was also very proud. She is the mother of a country, so she can enjoy this treatment. This little thing is sensible!

Xiao Rui came to the left and sat down, and the female officer brought tea.

Zhou Xiangyun assumed the posture of a queen, and said: "Although I stay in the harem, I have also heard about King Xian's achievements. I patrolled the state government all the way and investigated and dealt with many corrupt officials. Your majesty has praised you many times in the early court, and has won your majesty's trust. Ah! I believe that in a short time, His Majesty will definitely arrange important tasks and become the mainstay of the Great Xia Kingdom!"

Facing Zhou Xiangyun's flattery, Xiao Rui said with a smile: "How can a minister have that ability? They are all minor troubles. It is only because of his status as a prince that it is more convenient than ordinary supervisory censors. If other princes are ministers The job also has such results.”

Zhou Xiangyun smiled, she believed this, and heard that His Majesty even gave him the gold medal of "as if I came in person" for his convenience. The King Xian was so highly valued by His Majesty!

But then, His Majesty inadvertently explained the reason for bestowing the gold medal. It turned out that he lost a bet, and that's why King Xian asked for it opportunistically.

In this way, the princes and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this was the case.

But, is this really the case?

Xiao Rui understood that it was the emperor protecting him.

"King Xian still has some abilities! After all, he is a prince, who dares to disobey when he goes out with his status? I heard that King Ming is domineering in Fuzhou." Zhou Xiangyun boasted casually, and then his tone was full of sarcasm. Perhaps in her mind, no one is as good as his son who likes to wear a cuckold.

Xiao Rui didn't come here to chat with her, he said with a smile: "Empress Empress, I heard something by accident before leaving Beijing! After much deliberation, I decided to report the truth to Empress Empress."

Zhou Xiangyun was taken aback, and asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Xiao Rui said: "I don't know if you remember, there was a female officer named Ye Mei who once smashed the treasures that the father gave to the queen in the Changchun Palace, and then this girl was punished by the inner court secretary and demoted from the palace, but later she was punished by the local ruffians in the capital. Violation, tragic death in the moat?"

"Oh? I can't remember it. How could I get involved in such a trivial matter?" Zhou Xiangyun showed an expression that he couldn't remember.

Xiao Rui continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, you can ask after the fact. What I want to say is that the deceased Ye Mei was not killed by a hooligan, but was brought into the Chu Palace and died in the Chu Palace. They were thrown into the moat again!"

The queen's pupils finally constricted violently, and her movements were slightly stiff, but she immediately covered it up, she frowned and shouted: "King Xian, where did you hear this, you can slander the prince at will, even if you are also a prince, you can't take it for granted. Walk!"

"Don't be angry, empress. This king also heard it from other sources, and I just remembered this matter today. According to what this king sees, this matter must be a slander. How could my honorable second brother do this for a vulgar female official? Did such a thing? It's just...if my father finds out about this rumor, what will my father think?" Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Zhou Xiangyun's expression became scrutinized and indifferent, and he asked: "It seems that King Xian came here today not only to pay his respects? Besides this, could there be other things?"

Xiao Rui stood up, glanced at the elegant Changchun Palace, then locked his eyes on Zhou Xiangyun's face, and asked: "Your Majesty is really smart, I do have one more thing, I wonder if the Queen knows that my mother and concubine died of poisoning, Who ordered the poison?"

Snapped!

Zhou Xiangyun slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous!"

Xiao Rui's smile remained unabated, and he was not afraid of Zhou Xiangyun's viciousness at all!

Although he knew that Zhao Huang was responsible for his mother's poisoning, it was impossible for Zhao Guo to poison him, so he must have colluded with people in Xia Guo. Although Zen Master Jingxiu was killed, what about the others? My aunt Ye Qianying didn't say anything, and my father didn't say anything, maybe they thought it was too late, or even they didn't investigate the truth.

Last time in Yan State, Xiao Rui happened to meet Bai Su, the aunt of Gan, and heard some information from her. Xiao Rui heard from Bai Suzhen that the Zen Master Jingxiu, who was killed by Xiao Rui, had a close relationship with Duke Xi, so She suspected that Ye Qianlan's death was related to Queen Zhou Xiangyun and Duke Xi.

In fact, this suspicion is also well-founded. Back then, Ye Qianlan was the most favored by His Majesty, and she stayed there almost every night, which made the concubines in the harem angry and hated. Moreover, Ye Qianlan's concubine status was promoted at a rapid speed. Before his death, His Majesty had already intended to be promoted She is the imperial concubine, if Ye Qianlan doesn't die, there will be nothing wrong with the current imperial concubine Lin Yu'er.

And Ye Qianlan's favor, who is the biggest threat to? Must be the Queen!

Bai Suzhen deliberately assassinated Xiao Yiheng, and was about to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.

The matter of Yan Xiaoxiao today is just an introduction. Xiao Rui has long thought about going to war with the queen, but it has not been finalized yet. Now it is better to choose a day than hit the sun, and hit the sun is not as good as today!

At the same time, he also understood that if he wanted to bring down Xiao Yiheng and queen Zhou Xiangyun, Zhang Yizhi and Du Xueqin's deeds alone would not work, and there was no evidence for Ye Mei's incident. Although Xiao Yiheng lost two uncles and lost many loyal supporters, his mother is a queen, his grandfather is Xi Guogong, behind him is the huge family of the Zhou family, and another uncle is Bai Huhou, who wants to completely overthrow them , very challenging!

So what should Xiao Rui do?

After discussing with Jia Xu and Guo Jia, he is also ready to shake the mountain!

Only when the opponent is afraid and realizes that Xiao Rui is a big threat and needs to be eliminated, at the same time, he creates a chance for Xiao Rui to kill him!

As the saying goes, you can't live without doing your own crimes!

This is also his intention to go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and it is also one of the reasons why he deliberately provokes Zhou Xiangyun now!

Shaking face for the queen, Xiao Rui gets excited just thinking about it!

"The king didn't doubt the empress, why should the empress be angry?" Xiao Rui asked.

"Presumptuous!" Zhou Xiangyun said angrily, "In front of me, you dare to call yourself my king. What is your etiquette? Believe it or not, I will report to His Majesty!"

"Okay!" Xiao Rui said: "I also want to ask His Majesty about this! The empress is in charge of the harem, and my mother and concubine died of poisoning. The empress is also responsible to some extent!"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Xiangyun pointed at Xiao Rui and shouted: "Concubine Rong died of illness, I don't know where you came from for your nonsense, if you slander me at will, believe it or not, I will condemn you for framing! Changchun Palace of the palace, who gave you the courage to act recklessly here? Could it be that you have become bolder after going out for a walk? Today you dare to show off in this palace, and tomorrow you dare to act wild in the harem? This is His Majesty's harem, return the round It’s not that you make trouble for no reason! Get out, don’t let me look for the imperial army, when the time comes, it’s not just as simple as losing royal face!”

"Slap..."

Xiao Rui actually applauded.

"What the empress taught me is that this king has written it down, but I also ask the empress to remember what this king said. This king will find out the cause of my mother's death. If you have anything to do with the empress, don't blame me for being rude!" Xiao Xiao Rui said coldly.

Zhou Xiangyun was so angry that he smashed the teacup beside him, and then said with a stern face: "Really? If my palace is involved, how dare you be rude? Just because of your status as a powerless prince? Xiao Ming was demoted Being a commoner is not the first person, and definitely not the last person."

Xiao Rui's smile turned cold, and he said: "I will make the King of Chu lose everything, and make the crown prince he covets the most extravagant dream. I will ruin Duke Xi's reputation and follow in the footsteps of Duke Sui. I will let Bai Huhou With nothing, the Zhou family is even poorer than the poor. As for the noble empress, have you experienced it? If your gorgeous and tall Changchun Palace is reduced to a cold palace, will it be even more miserable?"

Zhou Xiangyun pointed at Xiao Rui and trembled, Xiao Rui's words pierced her heart like a knife.

"Come on, come on!" Zhou Xiangyun was so angry that his body became limp, and he sat on the chair. The four female officers serving beside him were dumbfounded. What did they see? King Xian actually showed his power in Changchun Palace, and directly angered the empress! Is this going to turn upside down? Is His Highness King Xian crazy?

Following the queen's roar, the guards in front of the door rushed in.

"King Xian is rebellious and immoral, insulting this palace, capture him for me, this palace is going to face the saint!" Zhou Xiangyun roared.

Several imperial guards stared at each other wide-eyed, Xian Wang Mingming was sitting there drinking tea, how could he insult the empress?

Xiao Rui put down the teacup, tut-tsk said: "Empress, my king came to greet you, and you served such poor tea, which is not worthy of your prominent status. When I see Your Majesty tomorrow, I will definitely take care of you Fight against injustice."

After finishing speaking, he asked: "Are you really going to His Majesty's place? I'm so happy! Let's go!"

Seeing that Xiao Rui was not afraid, Zhou Xiangyun seemed to be sure of herself, so she hesitated immediately.

Yes, she didn't dare to see His Majesty, especially when Ye Qianlan's death was involved.

She still remembers how beautiful Ye Qianlan was back then, and her identity was mysterious, saying that she came from a family of generals in Pengcheng Mansion, but she knew that it was all a lie! He heard the living queen mother unintentionally say that Ye Qianlan's identity is definitely not simple.

After Ye Qianlan's death, His Majesty, who had never neglected the government, did not go to court for half a month. At that time, all the concubines were jealous to death, because they knew who His Majesty's favorite woman was!

Now if the trouble comes to His Majesty and involves Ye Qianlan's death, once His Majesty's thoughts are aroused...

Seeing Zhou Xiangyun's hesitation, Xiao Rui clenched his fists.

It seems that Zhou Xiangyun was really involved with his mother's death.

"Empress, since you don't want to go, then I will leave!" Xiao Rui sneered, then turned and left.

Walking out of the palace, I could still hear Zhou Xiangyun's roar and the sound of the teacup breaking.
