Xiao Sheng stared at her with a frown: "Sister, be careful what you say!"

Xiao Pan suddenly looked into his sharp eyes, and was so shocked that his whole body trembled.

She apologized tremblingly: "I'm sorry, I just saw the Queen crying so pitifully that I felt a little bit rude. After all, the Emperor passed away suddenly, and I feel bad too!"

Tears burst out of her eyes as she spoke.

Xiao Sheng said in a deep voice: "I am also very sad that the emperor passed away. However, at this time, the more I should avoid suspicion!"

Xiao Pan said anxiously: "Why are you avoiding suspicion? Did you just watch Tianfeng's throne being targeted by jackals, tigers and leopards? Now, Prince Yi's Mansion has already been wooing important officials in the court overnight. The Queen and her son will be killed by him. It’s so hard to control, even the emperor’s only bloodline may not be preserved by then!”

Of course Xiao Sheng also heard the news, but he had no time to care.

He didn't want to make Xiao You'er feel uncomfortable!

Only leaving decisively is the best protection for her and the children.

Seeing his worry, Xiao Pan quickly said: "Are you worried about Xiao You'er? I'll go and persuade her. No matter what, she was friends with the queen before, so she can understand her difficulties!"

Xiao Sheng asked back: "Sister, you only let us understand her difficulties, but why don't you ask us what our difficulties are? When those courtiers repeatedly accused her, my heart was cut like a knife. We didn't have any understanding of that position in the first place. idea, but they still refused to let it go!"

Xiao Pan said with a complex expression: "But now that the emperor is gone, if you continue to destabilize the court, do you know whose hands Tianfeng will fall into in the future? King Yi is ambitious, and with his ruthlessness, he will destroy everything that stands in his way. All the people in power will be eradicated. Even if you take Xiaoyou'er and your son away, you will not be able to live a stable life. When he matures, he will send troops to besiege your fiefdom. By then, the entire Tianfeng will fall into endless civil strife. middle!"

Xiao Sheng never thought about this consequence, but he must not let Little You'er suffer any further grievances.

He said in a deep voice: "Sister, maybe the future is not as bad as you think. Little You'er has been in bad spirits these past two days. Don't disturb her. See us off in three days!"

After saying these words, he turned around and left quickly.

Xiao Pan was in agony. Why did he suddenly stop caring about everything?

She didn't dare to hesitate and hurried back to the palace.

Tang Xianrou asked uneasily: "Aunt, didn't you persuade them to come?"

Xiao Pan stared at her closely: "Xianrou, tell your aunt the truth. Do you resent Xiao You'er?"

Tang Xianrou suddenly clenched her fingers, a flash of panic flashing in her eyes.

Xiao Pan reminded without hesitation: "Don't hide it. Only after knowing your true thoughts can I consider how to keep them. Now, they have decided to leave the capital!"

She paused and then said: "You should know very well that the emperor passed away suddenly. King Yi is eyeing the throne. He has summoned all the ministers overnight. As long as this imperial power falls into his hands, you mother and son will not be able to do it again if they want it." came back!"

Tang Xianrou naturally understands this truth, Xiao Sheng values ​​​​love.

He would never do anything to harm their mother and son!

However, King Yi was different. When he gained power, he would surely take advantage of their mother and son.

She took a deep breath and said: "Aunt, I do have resentment towards Xiao You'er. I have devoted so much to the emperor, but I have never been able to reach his heart. He passed away suddenly, and she was the one who cared most about me. It’s you, what would you think?”

Xiao Pan reached out and stroked her hair and said, "But You'er is right. You shouldn't resent her. She has treated the emperor as her junior from the beginning to the end!"

Tang Xianrou explained: "Aunt, I have figured it all out now. We orphans and widowed mothers have nothing to rely on anymore. Please help me!"

Xiao Pan said without hesitation: "Let's go, take Xiao Qian and follow me to the Prince Regent's Mansion!"

Half an hour later, Xiao Sheng received another report from Tieshi, saying that the queen and the young prince were waiting in the front yard to ask for an audience.

He looked at Lin Ruoyou who was sitting on the couch: "Want to see you?"

She rolled her eyes and said, "Mother and son must have been desperate, so they begged us again and again!"

Xiao Sheng nodded: "Yes, King Yi's exposed ambition frightened the Queen!"

Lin Ruoyou stared at him with raised eyebrows: "Mr. Sheng, there is only one way to suppress these rumors in the capital, and that is for you to become the emperor!"

Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You'er wants me to be the emperor?"

She nodded: "Only in this way, the children and I will not be stigmatized. We can negotiate conditions for the queen. For ten years, when Xiao Qian grows up and becomes sensible, the throne will be returned to him!"

"Okay, I will talk to them!" Xiao Sheng agreed without hesitation.

Not long after, Tang Xianrou, her mother, her son and the eldest princess were brought into the front yard study.

She said sadly: "Uncle, please make the decision for us, mother and son!"

Xiao Sheng said softly: "It's not impossible if you want us to stay, but I want to ascend the throne as emperor. Do you agree?"

Xiao Pan's expression suddenly changed, and she said anxiously: "A Sheng, you!"

Xiao Sheng winked at her, and she swallowed the rest of his words alive.

Tang Xianrou nodded without hesitation: "The emperor's uncle originally had the power of regent. The emperor trusted you the most during his lifetime. As long as we, mother and son, can live well, I agree with the emperor's ascension to the throne as the new emperor!"

Xiao Sheng lowered his eyes and saw Xiao Qian lying in the swaddling clothes. He stared at him with a pair of big, cute eyes.

He couldn't help but sigh. This child was really pitiful. He was still so young and without his father's company.

He said in a soothing tone: "Since you agreed so happily, I will tell you frankly. The reason why I want to ascend the throne as emperor is a time limit. After ten years of reigning, when I wait until Gan'er reaches ten years old, I will I will personally return the throne to him!"

Tang Xianrou almost cried with joy. She knelt down and knelt on the ground: "Thank you very much, uncle. If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely be grateful for his decision!"

Xiao Sheng frowned: "He will leave a mess to this king, but he can just walk away. Little does he know how difficult those courtiers are, especially the righteous king. I'm afraid they have already dreamed of becoming the emperor. !”

Tang Xianrou did not dare to say a word, but she fully agreed with Xiao Sheng's words.

At this time, King Yi was indeed dreaming about ascending the throne as emperor.

The staff beside him walked in quickly from the outside and said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have already heard that the regent will leave the capital soon, and he will no longer care about the affairs of the court!"

King Yi almost jumped out of his chair. He was shocked and asked: "Is it true? Is this news reliable?"

The staff nodded heavily: "Of course it is reliable, my subordinates would not dare to lie about military information!"

At this time, Princess Wanyi also came back angrily from outside and said: "Father, what should we do? I heard that Fang Qingzhuo is going to follow the regent to the fiefdom. Now the entire Fang family is already cleaning up. He is going to Have you left me?"

King Yi quickly comforted him: "Wanyi is not afraid. The worst we can do is find another husband. How many noble sons are there in the capital? When you become a princess, won't they want to be your consort?"

Wanyi was immediately stunned: "What kind of princess and consort? Father, what are you talking about?"

King Yi waved his hand for her to go down, and quickly summoned his staff.

Finally, he made a decision. The day Xiao Sheng left the capital was the day when he would ascend the throne and become emperor.

He didn't expect that this day would come so soon. If it weren't for the national mourning period, he would almost have people throw off firecrackers to celebrate.

After waiting for about three days, the convoy from the Regent's Palace finally left the capital.

It is said that dozens of carriages blocked the streets and made a huge noise.

King Yi was worried and still asked people to explore him several times.

Everyone came back to report, and the regent personally took Lin Ruoyou and everyone in the Fang family on the carriage.

King Yi couldn't hold it in any longer and quickly led people into the palace.

When he saw the queen kneeling in plain clothes in the mourning hall, he pretended to go forward and cry.

After he finished crying, he walked up to the queen and said: "Empress, the little prince is still young. As a female, you naturally cannot contact the government. Now, in the Xiao family royal family, I am the only one who can legitimately inherit the throne, so You don’t need to worry, I will help the emperor take care of the court!”
