"No!" Su Li shook his head and clenched his fists tightly, "Your Highness will definitely wake up!"
She had already made up her mind to use the life-changing technique before, but she was delayed again because she was dealing with the dead souls in the county office.
After she came back, she wanted to take action, but Xiaofu seemed to be sentient and kept pestering her. Although he could not speak, his clear eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Su Li read the meaning of obstruction from his clear eyes. Thinking about his magic, and Xiao Lin's body felt warm again, she hesitated again, thinking of waiting for a while.
But now it seems that we really can’t wait any longer!
Now that the Great Xiao people are leaderless, if Xiao Lin doesn't wake up again, she doesn't know what will happen!
For Xiao Lin, it doesn't matter whether he can be the Lord of the Great Xiao. However, if the Great Xiao really falls into the hands of people like Xiao Jue and Shu Fei, the people of the Great Xiao will just be like fish on a board and be slaughtered by them. Devastated!
This is what they least want to see!
"Master Li, please go out first!" Su Li said softly, "Stand guard outside. No one is allowed to come in without my permission!"
"Yes!" Li Rufeng nodded solemnly.
…
King Zhao followed closely behind the inner guard, walked quickly and entered a private house.
I originally thought it was Yuncheng's Chief Li Zheng and others who came to discuss something with him. Unexpectedly, what I saw was an extremely familiar face.
"Concubine?" King Zhao looked at her blankly, "Why are you here?"
Sitting there was actually his mother-in-law, Concubine Zhang.
Concubine Zhang Guifei was naturally not as graceful and luxurious as she was in the palace at this time. She was dressed very plainly, just like an ordinary woman in this city. She only wore an ordinary silver hairpin on her head and her clothes were half-worn. Where did it come from? It looks inconspicuous.
As soon as she saw him, Concubine Zhang immediately asked: "Xiao Lin is dead, right?"
King Zhao was startled: "Who did the concubine listen to?"
"Don't worry about who the concubine is listening to, answer my question first!" Concubine Zhang tugged on his sleeves, unable to hide the excitement in her eyes, "He fell into the river and drowned, right? He survived? But here you go, right?”
King Zhao shook his head: "No! Miss Su said that she can save His Highness!"
Concubine Zhang disagreed: "I heard that he fished it out after soaking in the bottom of the river for a long time, right?"
King Zhao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It seems like this..."
"What does it look like?" Concubine Zhang glanced at him sideways, "Aren't you always here? You've always seen it! You should know the truth! Don't you?"
King Zhao coughed slightly and changed the subject: "Why does the mother-in-law ask this? The mother-in-law lives deep in the palace. Who did she hear this matter?"
"The news has spread all over the capital!" Zhang Guifei snorted, "Who else should I listen to? It's everywhere!"
King Zhao was stunned: "How is this possible? We are in Yuncheng, and this matter is strictly prohibited from spreading to outsiders!"
"In such a big city, can you withhold such a big thing?" Concubine Zhang glanced at him, her face full of displeasure, "You too, since you know the good news, why didn't you tell us earlier? We can prepare in advance! "
King Zhao's eyes trembled slightly: "What preparations should the mother and concubine make?"
"What do you think?" Zhang Guifei said softly, "The Dog Emperor is dead, Shu Fei is dead, Xiao Jue is dead, the queen is crazy, and now even the prince is dead! Jun'er, look at the entire royal family, who has the ability to inherit this great family? You are the only one who holds Xiao Huang's throne! It really took no effort! They fought over each other and made such a big fuss. In the end, no one could have imagined that they were actually making wedding clothes for you, Jun'er! When I first heard the news, I was absolutely delighted!”
King Zhao looked at her dancing and didn't know what to say.
"Uncle and the others also know about it?" he asked, "What do they think?"
"What else can you think of?" Zhang Guifei chuckled, "It's a pie in the sky, so of course you have to open your mouth and take it! No fool wants to take the throne for free!"
"But..." King Zhao lowered his eyelids, "Mother, concubine, son and minister... don't want..."
"Don't want it?" Zhang Guifei glared, "Why don't you want it?"
"Does the mother concubine know why the prince died?" King Zhao asked softly.
"Why don't you just die together with the Demon Lord!" Zhang Guifei replied, "I don't care how he died, as long as he died anyway!"
"He died with Wei Ye in order to save the people of Yuncheng..." King Zhao thought of that thrilling scene, his heart was surging, and his eyes were slightly misty.
"So what?" Zhang Guifei asked confused, "Does it have anything to do with us?"
King Zhao opened his mouth again and again, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
"Speak!" Zhang Guifei paused.
"Mother and concubine, my sons and ministers have read the books of sages since childhood. As a king and a minister, you should serve the country and the people. My grandfather, uncle and others are stationed at the border to protect the family and the country..." King Zhao tried to explain his current state of mind to Concubine Zhang. , but unfortunately, she was interrupted mid-sentence with an irritated look on her face.
"So, now it's your turn to be the monarch and serve the country and the people! You are the one who should shoulder this heavy burden! If you don't do it, is it possible to let your stupid brothers do it? Which one of them can compare with it? You? Their eldest is only eleven or twelve years old! Can you shoulder this heavy burden? If this great empire falls into their hands, the country may be in chaos!"
King Zhao smiled bitterly: "What the mother and concubine said makes sense..."
"Since it makes sense, get ready now..."
"Concubine, Su Li said, she can save the prince!" King Zhao said.
"That's just a delaying tactic!" Concubine Zhang snorted, "She's dragging you! I'm afraid you might change your mind at this moment! Who have you seen lying at the bottom of the river for a whole day and still breathing?"
"Mother and concubine, I don't want to think about this issue right now!" King Zhao lowered his head, "Prince, his bones are not yet cold..."
"That's enough!" Concubine Zhang stood up, took a step forward, and stabbed King Zhao heavily on the forehead with one finger, causing him to take two steps back before he could stand still.
"Have you forgotten what he did to us before?" Concubine Zhang's eyes were dripping with blood. "How many people around you died at the hands of Xiao Lin? He simply killed us all! Now that he is dead, We should just clap our hands and cheer! How come you are still dead? Are you crazy?"
"My mother and concubine should have heard what my uncle said about the past..." King Zhao smiled bitterly, "It was basically my father...it was the emperor who picked him! The Changlin Army and the Changfeng Army were both destroyed by his hands, and his wife Fu, my master also died at the hands of the emperor! As for what happened next, my mother and concubine must also know that my son and minister are really fed up with the days of scheming and scheming! After so many years, after careful calculation, there is nothing. One thing is beneficial to the country, the country, and nothing is beneficial to the people of Li! I often feel that all the books I read when I was young were read into the dog's belly..."
