After confirming the binding, Murong Qi finally took Si Jin out of the dark room.

It's just that every night, he would take Si Jin back to the dark room and rest together in the dark room.

It was only after Si Jin left the dark room that she realized that the door of the dark room was actually in the rockery outside Qiwu Palace, thinking that no wonder no one found it for so long.

The post-sealing ceremony is proceeding in an orderly manner.

As for the selection of the crown prince, according to the opinion of the Imperial Academy, since it is necessary to choose a suitable heir for Rong Guo, it cannot be too casual, it needs multi-faceted investigation, and it is impossible to determine it in a short time.

On this day, Prime Minister Zhang entered the palace again for the grand conferment ceremony.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he noticed the ropes tied to their hands.

Prime Minister Zhang looked up, and felt that something was wrong in his heart, especially the expressions of the two of them seemed much heavier than before.

He thought of the news he had heard not long ago, saying that Si Jin had accidentally vomited blood and fell into a coma, the emperor was furious and even invited the old imperial doctors into the palace.

"I heard that Mr. Si seems to be unwell. I wonder if he is better now?"

Si Jin raised her eyes, met Prime Minister Zhang's eyes, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Murong Qi.

"Prime Minister Zhang's news is really well-informed." Murong Qi said coldly.

Prime Minister Zhang looked at Murong Qi seriously, and was startled in his heart. With such eyes, he seemed to have returned to 12 years ago.

He lowered his head, lifted his robe and knelt down: "I have exceeded the rules, please forgive me."

Murong Qi's expression did not change, he was still cold: "How are you preparing for the Empress Dowager Ceremony?"

"Back to the emperor, Qin Tianjian has selected a few good days, one is September [-]th, the other is December [-]th, and the other day is the eighth day of March in the coming year. The specific date needs to be determined by the emperor himself." After the previous glance, Prime Minister Zhang didn't dare to joke anymore.

There are three days, one after January, one after March, and one in the coming year, with a huge span.

Murong Qi glanced at Si Jin.

Si Jin also raised her head, thinking that he was going to ask herself, she opened her mouth to say something, but Murong Qi didn't give him a chance to speak.

"What does Prime Minister Zhang think?"

Prime Minister Zhang quietly raised his head to take a look, and saw that the expressions on both of them were a little strange, which strengthened his mind even more.

It's just that it's one thing for him to know something in his heart, but it's another thing to say it out.

"Returning to the emperor, I thought that the conferring ceremony should be grand. Although the day after January is good, it is too hasty, and the next year is too late. I suggest choosing a good day in December." When I don't know how to choose, There is nothing wrong with choosing the mean.

"Then choose after January, the fifteenth of September." Murong Qi said.

"But Your Majesty, is September [-] too hasty? I'm afraid I'm not well prepared." Prime Minister Zhang whispered.

He could see that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange, but what should be said had to be said. Even ordinary officials and eunuchs would feel rushed and unable to fully prepare for the one-month preparation time, let alone the important event of the empress seal. .

Now Murong Qi will choose a day after January because of a whim, and he can also get angry after confirming that he is not fully prepared for the Queen's Sealing Ceremony. time anger.

"Heh, since Prime Minister Zhang is worried, you might as well ask my queen." Murong Qi's tone was full of indifference.

Prime Minister Zhang felt relieved, since Murong Qi called Si Jin the "Queen", it meant that the quarrel between the two had not yet affected the empress ceremony.

He straightened up and looked at Si Jin: "What does Master Si think?"

"Actually, the days in December were pretty good, and September was really rushed." Si Jin spoke in a low voice, keeping her head down and looking at the rope tied around their hands.

Murong Qi, who was sitting by the side, seemed to have sensed the change in his mood, and took the initiative to hold his hand tightly, increasing the force on his hand.

"You have no jokes, just choose September."

Si Jin raised her head suddenly, but she didn't expect Murong Qi's eyes to be on him all the time, and when she raised her eyes, her eyes met.

Seeing the surprise in Si Jin's eyes, Murong Qi slowly felt a little joy from the bottom of his heart, and said with a smile, "Isn't the preparation time in January not enough?"

Si Jin's mood sank, knowing that what he said "not enough" was not referring to the preparations for the empress ceremony, but the preparations for the people behind him to seize the throne.

The time of the Empress Dowager Ceremony has not been set yet, even if Murongli had already prepared, it is impossible to know when the Empress Dowager Ceremony will be held, but according to ordinary people's understanding, the Empress Dowager Ceremony will be very grand, naturally it will take a lot of preparation time.

It's just right after March, and the time in January is really hasty.

"January, just January," Si Jin said, turning her head away from looking at Murong Qi, and looking at Prime Minister Zhang instead.

Prime Minister Zhang was very aware of the current situation, and after hearing Si Jin's words, he bowed his hands and obeyed: "I obey the order."

Since the day after January has been chosen, all ministries in the court must prepare to avoid insufficient preparations.

Murong Qi ascended the throne at the age of 16, and it has been 14 years since then, except when he was forced to admit many concubines into the palace when he first ascended the throne, there has never been a newcomer in the palace since then.

Everyone knows that the Emperor only favors the Concubine Hong. After Concubine Hong passed away, he was only special to Concubine Hong when she was around. After Concubine Hong left, he never even stepped into the harem. He doesn't even have any heirs, and the big ceremony is not only Chinese New Year, but also Chinese New Year.

Today's post-closing ceremony is probably the only large-scale ceremony other than Chinese New Year in the past 14 years.

Such a major event cannot be concealed, and not long after, the news about the Empress Dowager Ceremony was spread all over the capital.

News like "the emperor is going to marry a male queen" has no way to cause too much fluctuation in the hearts of the people. I don't know when it started. Champion Lang.

No matter how dissatisfied people are, when encountering such a situation, they have to say that this is a couple.

As for whether there is something tricky behind Si Jin's position as the No. .

Compared with the news that the emperor married a male empress, they were more concerned about how grand the empress ceremony would be in one month.

Naturally, the news that the common people knew could not be concealed from the princes who stayed in the capital.

Murong Xi rushed into Prince Zhong's mansion in a hurry: "Seventh brother!"

"What are you panicking about?" Murong Li turned his head and looked at Murong Xi with displeasure.

Ever since they parted ways because of the crown prince, the relationship between the two brothers has plummeted. Murong Xi wished he could stay far away from Prince Zhong's Mansion, and it would be best to stay away from it. It's really rare to come to the door like this today.

Murong Li has completely lost the initial connivance towards Murong Xi.

Murong Xi had been kept before, just because he was still useful, and he could be used occasionally.

But ever since Murong Xi quarreled with him over the unacquired crown prince, he knew that the so-called brotherhood, the so-called management, were totally inferior to the benefits.

Simply because he never really took Murong Xi to heart, facing Murong Xi's betrayal, not only did he not feel disappointed, but he was glad that he had lost a burden.

For such a brainless brother, let him do things that don’t require brains. Now in Beijing, under the eyes of Murong Qi, keeping such a brainless person by his side will only increase his burden. If you are careful, you may be completely driven into the abyss.

Also because of this, now that Murong Xi suddenly came to the door, Murong Li was not only not happy, but felt that it was a burden.

Murong Xi didn't know Murong Li's mood at all, he still had a smile on his face: "Brother Seven, our chance has come."

"Opportunity?" Murong Li asked back.

"Yes," Murong Xi's face was full of excitement, "All the guards in the palace will be busy in the ceremony of conferring the queen a month later, and everyone's thoughts will be on the ceremony of conferring the queen. likely to be very high.”

Murong Li didn't expect Murong Xi to say such a thing, and looked at him in surprise: "You came here today just to say this? Don't you just want to send the son into the palace to be the crown prince? Why are you looking for me again?" ?”

"Then how can it be the same?" Murong Xi smiled, "We are brothers, and we have been brothers who have depended on each other since we were young. The relationship between us cannot be compared with ordinary people. In any case, if Brother Seven needs help, Eight The younger brother's definition is indisputable."

"You are a good brother." Murong Li smiled half a smile.

"Of course, why should we divide each other?" Murong Xi smiled shyly.

"Okay, you can go first, if I need your help with something, I will not be polite." Murongli said.

"Okay, Seventh Brother, then I'll go first." After Murong Xi finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly, as if he was just passing by by chance, simply reminiscing about the old days.

After Murong Xi left, Ke Qing who was beside Murong Li hurried forward.

"My lord, it's unbelievable that King Lian has the right and wrong ways."

"This king knows," Murong Li smiled, "This good brother of this king has a good idea, thinking that both sides will please, and when the time comes, no matter who wins or loses, he will be invincible, just like him It's the brain that came up with such a bad idea."

"Then shall we do it..."

"No need," Murong Li raised his hand to stop him, "Let him make trouble. With him making trouble in front, our plan will go more smoothly. Murong Qi has deep thoughts. It is impossible to completely hide our plan from him and let Murong Xi be the troublemaker in the front." Shit stick, it can reduce Murong Qi's defense very well."

"My lord is wise."

"Hehe, the fourth brother was too impatient back then, so he fell into Murong Qi's trap. This king has prepared for many years, and he will be more cautious than the fourth brother. That seat must belong to this king."

"What the prince said is that the emperor must never have imagined that we would have so many cards."

Murong Li smiled, his eyes were full of emotions that must be won.

Qiwu Palace - a dark room.

"Why do you have to rest here?" Si Jin frowned, unable to figure out why Murong Qi had already tied him up, why he didn't sleep in Weiyang Palace or Qiwu Palace, but came to this dark room.

Murong Qi looked at him deeply: "Aiqing is very skilled in martial arts. If she fights alone, even the people around me don't have the confidence to win. Let Aiqing out. If she runs away, where will I find the queen?"

Si Jin leaned on the bed frame and spoke in a low voice: "Your Majesty already knows that something will happen during the empress ceremony, so why hold the empress ceremony?"

Apart from the two of them, there was only dim candlelight in the dark room.

Murong Qi laughed suddenly: "Does Ai Qing know who lived here?"

Si Jin: "Isn't it the late emperor?"

"It was like this when you were still here," Murong Qi said, and slowly approached, "12 years ago, when I went to the imperial tomb, I brought my father to the imperial tomb, and stayed with my grandpa."

Si Jin looked at him in surprise: "Prisoning the late emperor in the imperial mausoleum, aren't you afraid that the ancestors of the Murong family will come to you at night?"

Murong Qi's hand landed on Si Jin's face, and lightly brushed his cheek: "If there is a soul, I really want to see it, and I will hide you here for 12 years in vain."

Si Jin's heart skipped a beat.

He is very clear that the "you" that Murong Qi said is not the current him, so there is only one answer.

He trembled all over, not because he was timid, but because he didn't expect Murong Qi to do that: "You..."

Murong Qi still had a smile on his face: "I have waited for you for 12 years, watched you for 12 years, and finally brought you back alive. Do you think I will let you go easily?"

Si Jin sat on the bed and backed away slightly.

He stumbled and fell on the bed.

Murong Qi leaned over and clasped his hands: "Hands are so cold? Is it because you are afraid? What is there to be afraid of? I just miss you. If you are not here, I can only leave the old you behind. Once you come back, I sent him to the imperial mausoleum, and I always have only you in my heart."

Facing the dim candlelight, Si Jin looked deeply into Murong Qi's eyes.

The next moment, he raised his hand to press the person down, and pressed his cold lips against his lips.

Murong Qi was taken aback, and pushed the person away suddenly: "Don't think that I really won't do anything to you! You are my queen, no matter what I do to you, no one dares to say anything!"

Si Jin just looked at him like this, her movements and expressions didn't change at all, only her eyes kept turning slowly following Murong Qi's movements.

Murong Qi angrily used huge profits to tear off the rope from his wrist, and threw it on the bed: "I still have to deal with state affairs, I don't have the heart to play with you here, you can do it yourself! Don't even think about leaving! I will make you completely lose your way home Opportunity, let you stay by my side forever, for the rest of your life."

Si Jin squeezed the right wrist that was finally separated from Murong Qi, watching Murong Qi's back slowly disappear.

"Tsk, my temper is still so violent."
