Chapter 126: Choose One
It is true that Concubine Gao is a Concubine. She also has two sons, the third prince and the fourth prince. Although both of them are not yet adults, they are old enough to set up their own houses and live separately.
He conferred titles on Wu Wang and Heng Wang respectively, but did not appoint a crown prince.
As for the matter of appointing the crown prince, the only one who had a say was Xiao Jingze.
Xiao Yun's words are a threat.
He looked at Gao Zongren and said, "A woman can't be the head of a Marquis's family, right? Have you asked Concubine Gao what she thinks?"
Clearly divisive words.
Zhao was furious and said, "You don't have to say that. The noble concubine will never let go of the person who killed his brother."
[What can I do? The title of Imperial Concubine sounds nice, but she is not the Emperor's true love.]
[The Emperor favored her only for the sake of the Gao family's military strength in the past. Now he still favors Concubine Gao to protect the woman he truly loves.]
[The emperor knew long ago that Xiao Yun in front of him was his precious son. It was said that he was born to the empress. During the Jingnan Campaign, the palace was attacked by rebels and the emperor lost several children.
Xiao Yun was the one the emperor had been looking for, and he had found her two years earlier, but he had not acknowledged her. He was just waiting for the imperial concubine and the Gao family to become useless, and then he would move to the Gao family, and then give his precious son a brilliant achievement, so that he could return to the palace and be directly appointed as the crown prince. 】
Li Jidao died two years later.
By that time, Xiao Wen had returned to the palace and had a reunion with the emperor and the empress. His outstanding achievement was exposing Emperor Gaozong's conspiracy to rebel and the Wang family's corruption and oppression of the people in the village.
[This was all planned by the old emperor. The old emperor didn't even care about his own child with Concubine Gao, let alone Concubine Gao, let alone the Gao family? The reason why the Gao family can still survive now is to support Xiao Yun as a stepping stone. ]
【Speaking of which, Concubine Gao is also quite pitiful. 】
Li Xunran shook his head secretly.
Feng Ying: I am a village woman from Luoyang. What have I heard now?
During my lifetime, I can still pay attention to the affairs of the emperor's family.
Goro: ? ?
The Wang family will also be attacked? Isn't Wu Niang very dangerous?
That being said, we must never let Xiao Yun become famous.
Shiro: I don’t know if my training progress can catch up with the speed of others’ rise.
Feng Ying couldn't bear to see others being wronged, so he stood up and said, "Xiao Dalang, what you are asking Madam Zhao now is exactly what Prime Minister Xiao said? Now that Prime Minister Xiao has become so noble, does he have the final say on whether the emperor appoints a crown prince?"
Isn't Xiao Jingze also a dog of the emperor?
It's not that his words carry weight, it's that the emperor makes his words carry weight.
Whether to appoint a crown prince is still up to the emperor himself.
Zhao and Gao Zongren were both stunned, and then Gao Zongren fell into deep thought.
Zhao said to Gao Zongren: "No matter what, we must catch the man first, and we must not let this Taoist go."
"You just remembered about poverty? It seems a little late, haha." The old Taoist jumped up and took Xiao Wen's mother to jump onto the big tree at the gate of the courtyard.
Li Jidao thought: [I can't kill Xiao Yun and Xiao Wenniang, but I still have the ability to keep Wang Duan away from these two scumbags.]
After she finished speaking, a talisman popped out from her hand and hit Wang Duan directly.
Taoist Zhang was about to run away, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw Wang Duan's whole body glowing black. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself: "Pure Yin Body!"
Just then his two apprentices came to pick him up.
Taoist Zhang threw Xiao Wenniang to his eldest disciple and said, "Take her away!"
Then he jumped down again, threw a stinky egg again, and took Wang Duan away.
Wulang, Silang and Fengying were all very anxious. Even without Fengying shouting, Wulang had already chased after him.
Feng Ying held Si Lang in her mouth and said, "Chase him. Go call for help. Go call the Wang family."
All the men chased the two Taoists. Feng Ying was originally going to take his daughter to meet the Li family, but when he turned around, another young Taoist jumped out from nowhere, grabbed Li Jidao and ran away.
They are all Taoists who have been practicing for many years. Their lightness skills can easily touch the water. Unless someone knows the mysterious arts, no one can catch up with them.
Feng Ying was so anxious that she nearly fainted.
"Ah Jian, Ah Jian..."
Feng Ying ran after him but couldn't catch up. After thinking for a while, he called the servants, "Go and invite the prince!"
"Your Majesty, what is that?" Song Jie was invited out by some young men in the city to drink in a tavern opposite the city tower.
Gu Changqing leaned against the window and suddenly saw people jumping on the city wall.
"That seems to be Xiao Wen's mother, ah, Master Wang, and Wang Shiqi, hey, the idiot from the Li family has also been arrested." Gu Changqing exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Sunjie held up his wine glass and said with a smile: "He is not a very important person. Is it possible that the prince would care about him? Don't make a noise and disturb the prince's interest..."
Before he could finish his words, Song Jie jumped out of the window.
The eldest grandson Jie: "..."
"Ah Zhan, what is this, Prince..."
Zhang Sunzhan also jumped down, and all the palace guards went down, and in a moment, all the people from the palace arrived.
Grandson Jie:?
Are you still interested in watching this show when it's so lively?
When he came to the window, he saw three Taoists on the opposite wall shouting, "Run in different directions."
Then it split into three directions.
The young man who was chasing stood at the fork in the road and hesitated for a moment.
The eldest grandson Jie laughed. No wonder, it was really beautiful.
Isn’t this person Xiao Yun?
"One is her sister, and the other is his fiancée, right? Who should he save?"
"Don't come over here again. If you do, all three of them will die."
Taoist Zhang and his two disciples were chased to the city wall, but there was a waterway behind them. Unless they jumped down, there was no way to retreat.
But obviously, three men couldn't take three girls away.
Among them, only Xiao Yun and Silang know some esoteric Kung Fu, but Silang has just started and is obviously not up to the task.
The only threat to Taoist Zhang is Xiao Yun.
He hung all three girls outside, turned around and looked at Xiao Yun with a smile: "I heard that one of them is your sister and the other is your fiancée. Today, I will do you a favor and return one to you. You can choose which one you want to keep."
Not far away, there was a crowd of people gathered in a standing area, and everyone was talking about this matter.
"It was the Wang family, the Xiao family, and a young lady from an unknown family who were arrested."
"My dear, you are from the Xiao family."
"Of course I'd choose my sister. I can't just watch my sister get taken away."
"But I heard that she is not my biological sister. This man is an adopted son."
"Madam Wang is his fiancée. I heard they grew up together."
"Who should I choose?"
No one talked about Li Jidao.
Li Ji said: [...Okay, okay, I'm just here to liven things up.]
Silang was closest to Xiao Wenniang, and he used a rope to directly tie up Xiao Wenniang's wrist.
Wu Lang was overjoyed and called Xiao Yun: "You and the old Taoist can fight to save Shiqi Niang. Save her quickly. Xiao Wen Niang will not be in danger anymore."
The old Taoist's face almost changed, and he looked at Wang Duan with both reluctance and unwillingness.
"Xiao Dalang, save Shiqi Niang. I guarantee that Xiao Wen Niang is fine." Wu Lang urged.
