Chapter 23
.
In the next few days, He Zifan never saw Gu Xiao.He stayed in the dormitory to eat and drink, slept when he was sleepy, and led Huanchun and Jingqiu to visit his new residence when he woke up. His life was not so boring.
Until one day when he woke up, He Zifan found that there was a person lying beside him, but this person was still a freshly baked emperor.
He froze for a moment, not knowing how to react.Sensing the dark blue under his eyes, he didn't kick him off, but walked over him carefully, and told him to come in to wash and change clothes.
The servants in the palace hardly moved, until the aroma of breakfast came, and Gu Xiao finally woke up.
When Gu Xiao woke up like this, He Zifan couldn't continue eating.Seeing Yuan Shou leading a group of court ladies and eunuchs into the room to serve Gu Xiao, he stared motionlessly at the meal in front of him in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"What are you thinking?" At some point, Gu Xiao sat beside him and asked casually.
After hesitating for a moment, He Zifan still shook his head: "It's nothing, how is the injury on the emperor's body, does it still hurt now?"
Seeing that he took the initiative to care about herself, Gu Xiao's expression softened a lot, and said in a gentle voice: "After this period of cultivation, he is almost healed. It's the late emperor's funeral, so I have to work."
Even if he was unhappy, He Zifan didn't dare to say anything at the moment.Today's Gu Xiao is no longer the dandy prince who couldn't help himself before, but an emperor who holds the power of life and death.The change of identity made him have to be careful when facing Gu Xiao.
At the same time, there was an inexplicable sourness in his heart, which made him not want to get along with the current Gu Xiao.
Seeing that He Zifan didn't speak, Gu Xiao thought about it and felt that it was time to mention some things to him.
"In the past few days, ministers have played one after another, talking more about the matter of becoming a queen. After careful consideration, I plan to make you a queen." As soon as Gu Xiao said that, He Zifan was completely dumbfounded.
The author has something to say: Gu Xiao: "I'm going to make you a queen, are you happy?"
He Zifan: "Happy, very happy, so happy that I want to kill the king~!" Dangerous smile jpg
I added another 1000 more words, and then edited it slightly.Old rules, cuties, you can refresh and re-read~
Queen's position "Your Majesty...Think twice, Your Majesty."
"Why, you don't want to?"
nonsense, he...
"Your Majesty... think twice, Your Majesty."
"Why, you don't want to?"
Nonsense, of course he doesn't want to.
How can being a beautiful wife and concubine for others be as refreshing as being a beautiful wife and concubine yourself?He is not stupid!
It's a pity that these words must not be said out loud, otherwise the little life that has been so hard to live on may be lost again.
He Zifan avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "Your Majesty was joking. If I remember correctly, you once promised the concubine that you would let the concubine go. I don't know if this promise is still kept. If it is counted, the concubine may not be able to take on this important task."
Fearing that the plan would change, he had to remind Gu Xiao aloud, hoping that he could remember the promise he made.
Of course Gu Xiao didn't forget, it's better to say that he wished he could forget about it.He knew in his heart that if He Zifan was really allowed to leave, according to his flirtatious temperament, he might marry again immediately, and then live a life of embracing left and right.
Thinking of his close relationship with other women, a murderous aura emerged from Gu Xiao's body, which made He Zifan who was standing not far away tremble with fear.
"Zi Fan, it's not that I don't want to let you go. It's just that I haven't officially ascended the throne yet, and I haven't figured out the front and rear palaces. Some things are really difficult to arrange. Therefore, I can't arrange for you to leave the palace in a short period of time."
He Zifan thought about it carefully, and felt that what he said was not unreasonable.He had just been enthroned, so it was really too much to turn around and run away without saying that he would lend a hand or do a favor.
Sensing that He Zifan's attitude was relaxed, Gu Xiao sighed and continued, "Let me tell you the truth, the moment my father died suddenly, King Zhen was thrown into prison, and his followers were lurking in the court, waiting to attack me at any time." .I made you queen because I want to use your status to stop those wolf-minded people from filling my harem."
After Gu Xiao explained this, the tight string in He Zifan's heart relaxed.He said how could Yi take care of Xiao's temperament to have other thoughts about him, and he really thought too much.
In fact, whether people can enter the harem has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't like Gu Xiao, so of course he doesn't care about it.
It's just that he listened to a little bit of what Gu Xiao said.That is, Gu Xiao's current situation is very dangerous. He dare not let the power of the previous dynasty interfere in the harem, so he wants to make him the queen and use him as a shield.
Thinking deeply, he and Gu Xiao are grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens to Gu Xiao, let alone leaving the palace, it's hard to say whether he will survive or not.
The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, He Zifan couldn't help pacing back and forth in the room.
After thinking about it, he couldn't hold back and asked, "Your Majesty, are you really going to let me go?"
No matter how unresponsive He Zifan is, facing the fact that his wishes have been failed several times, but his status has risen, he must feel uneasy.
But he has nothing to do. When Gu Xiao was the prince, he had nothing to do.Now that Gu Xiao has become the emperor, he is even more helpless.
"You stay with me for three years. If you still want to leave after three years, I will naturally find a way to arrange everything for you." Gu Xiao said in a calm tone, looking down at the teacup in his hand.
"No, three years is too long. One year, I only promise to stay for one year. When the time is up, please send me out of the palace immediately." This is probably the first time He Zifan has shown such a tough attitude.
"Okay, no joke, I agree."
Stealing a glance at him to make sure he wasn't angry, He Zifan heaved a sigh of relief without leaving a trace.
I don't know if I had the guts of a bear just now, and dared to refute his face in person.
The strange thing is that Gu Xiao didn't get angry, but agreed to his proposal instead.
In fact, as long as He Zifan has a little brain, he can figure it out. As long as he agrees to the proposal just now, Gu Xiao will not be at a disadvantage.
Originally, Gu Xiao owed him a promise, and he could take advantage of this to ask him to fulfill it.
But He Zifan not only didn't think of this, he even posted it upside down for a year, feeling in his heart how wise and powerful the decision he made was.
Of course Gu Xiao wasn't going to remind him, even if it was a year, he was confident that He Zifan would be willing to stay in the palace with him for the rest of his life.
At noon of the second day, Yuanshou sent the imperial decree of the empress seal, and at the same time conveyed the imperial edict on his behalf.
What the emperor meant was that the post-sealing ceremony and enthronement ceremony were held at the same time, and the date was set on October 21.
Considering that the filial piety period has not yet passed, Gu Xiao ordered that the ceremony should be kept simple.Even so, there is no shortage of etiquette.
In order not to lose her manners at the ceremony, Gu Xiao specially selected two nuns who were in charge of etiquette and sent them to teach the queen.
The arrival of the two nuns brought He Zifan's good life to an end, and opened up the dire daily life in the deep palace.
It was also not easy for Gu Xiao. Leaving aside the matter of King Zhen, just the fact that he ordered He Zifan to be conferred the title of empress caused an uproar in the court.
Two-thirds of the ministers in the DPRK stood up and openly opposed it, and even among those ministers who supported him, some expressed their opposition.
The reason for the objection is very simple, except that He Zifan is a man, and the other is the 'Emperor's Heir'.
If He Zifan is really established as the queen, it will undoubtedly have an impact on the emperor's heirs.Not to mention that the queen is still a man, if she wants to pick a beautiful woman to enter the palace, who can guarantee that the queen will not mess up the palace?
No matter how the courtiers object, it's a pity that Gu Xiao has made up his mind.Therefore, the opposition of the ministers has no effect on him.
One morning, the new emperor, who was irritated by the noise, couldn't bear it anymore, and selected a few ministers who were most fond of dancing and threw them into the private prison.
In the early morning of the next day, Gu Xiao's ears became much clearer, her sharp eyes swept down, and all the ministers' legs trembled, and no one dared to stand up and continue to object.
Gu Xiao was very satisfied with this, and even his expression returned to normal, and he didn't look so scary anymore.
Clean the imperial palace and royal study.
Wei Ru, who had already re-entered the court as an official, was called into the palace by the new emperor, stepped into the imperial study,...
The palace, the imperial study.
Wei Ru, who had re-entered the court as an official, was called into the palace by the new emperor, stepped into the imperial study, saw the emperor who was reviewing the memorial, Wei Ru quickly knelt down and saluted.
"Get up, I didn't see you so much etiquette when I was in the palace." Gu Xiao said lightly, putting the reviewed memorial aside casually.
Wei Ru smiled lightly: "Your Majesty was joking, you are the king of a country now, and the officials are your subjects. There are differences between monarchs and ministers, so I should restrain myself and return to courtesy."
"Tch, sophistry."
What kind of person Wei Ru is, Gu Xiao knows in his heart, since he thinks so, he doesn't intend to expose it.
"How about what you were asked to do?"
"Return to Your Majesty, I have ordered people to conduct a secret search, but no trace of Liu Hanzhang was found in the city. Presumably he has already left Beijing."
Wei Ru knew in his heart that Liu Hanzhang was of great importance to them, and if he were really allowed to escape, it might cause them some trouble in the future.
Gu Xiao thought for a moment and shook his head: "On the contrary, I think he should still be in the capital at this moment. Liu Hanzhang's feelings for King Qing are extraordinary, and now that I have been crowned a great treasure, he is naturally worried about the safety of King Qing, and he will never leave at this time Beijing."
"Then His Majesty means..."
"The search is going on as usual, remember to send more people to keep an eye on Prince Qing's mansion. I don't believe that Liu Hanzhang is not worried about Prince Qing's safety at all. As long as he shows up, he will be detained and taken to a private prison." As for Liu Hanzhang, Gu Xiao responded Disgusted in my heart.If he is still useful,
