Chapter 235 Marry You

Why does the other party care so much about the list in Captain Jian's hands?

Of course, it is because most of the officials on this list are from Prince Yong’s party.

As long as you know these, it is not difficult to guess that the real mastermind behind the scenes is King Yong!

The only thing that Xie Zhuoning couldn't understand was why Xiao Bicheng wanted to interfere?

If he had not gone to the Yufusi with Prince Yong and forced Xiao Jinxuan to hand over Cui Wen and close the case quickly, he might not have misled her for so long.

What role does he play in this matter?

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Xie Zhuoning standing in the wind and felt a little distressed, so he took out a cloak and put it on her.

Xie Zhuoning, however, stared at the endless blackness in the distance and murmured to him, "Xiao Jinxuan, didn't you ask me before why I had to get involved in this matter?"

"Yeah." Xiao Jinxuan stood beside her silently, waiting for her answer.

In a vague tone, floating lightly in the air, she said, "Because I'm very angry."

"I saw that Minister Cui and Captain Jian were resolute and courageous, and they were brave and fearless, and they had a sincere heart to serve the country and the people, but they were harmed by treacherous people and ended up like that."

"I also thought of my father and so many other generals who left their hometowns and families, risked their lives to defend the country, but often suffered from lack of food and clothing."

"But these termites are like maggots on the tarsal bones, clinging tightly to the flesh and blood of Daye, being fed with fat and whiteness, and are eating away the foundation of the country!"

"Prince Yong sold official positions and titles without caring about the lives of the people in the court. The Crown Prince shot and killed a second-rank official and his wife in the street, and he disregarded the laws of Daye..."

Turning his head and looking at Xiao Jinxuan, Xie Zhuoning's eyes were fixed, as if some surging power was about to burst out——

"Xiao Jinxuan, are you really at ease handing Daye over to these people? Is it really worth risking your life for them?"

Every word was carried away by the wind and soon disappeared.

But Xiao Jinxuan's heart was filled with turmoil, and he could not calm down for a long time.

He was loyal to the emperor and had no regrets.

But what if the one sitting on the throne is a tyrant?

With his eyebrows furrowed, he said in a deep voice: "When imperial power is piled up, bones are piled up, and the people are always the ones who suffer."

The price is too high.

Xie Zhuoning said seriously, "When my father attacked the Zhou Kingdom, he once said that he would rather bear the stigma of aggression for the rest of his life than not take down the Zhou Kingdom. Because the sins are committed in this generation, the merits will last for generations."

Only a temporary turmoil and bloodshed can bring eternal peace to future generations.

Even if there is a price to pay, it's worth it!

Xiao Jinxuan looked at her with changing eyes, and an incredible idea popped up in his mind, "You want to participate in the seizure of the throne?"

Before, he couldn't figure out what the little girl wanted.

Now the fog has finally cleared and I have gained enlightenment.

He had never imagined that she, a woman, could have such grand ambitions and wishes!

"Not just me," Xie Zhuoning shook his head, "I was planning to make some offers to you after I won the bet with you..."

Now it seems that I have no choice but to speak out.

She took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked determined, as if tinged with the moonlight.

"Xiao Jinxuan, join me in the fight for the throne!"

She had no legitimate reason to do so. If she wanted to overthrow the Crown Prince and Prince Yong, she had to have a legitimate reason to gain the support of the people and ministers.

He is the son of the previous emperor. If Prince Yong can compete for the throne, why can't he?

As long as he is willing, she will do her best to help him take the throne!

At least Xiao Jinxuan would not be jealous of her father's achievements and plot against him, would not be suspicious of the court officials' checks and balances, and would not let his woman bear the eternal infamy for him...

I will never let her suffer the fate of being cursed for eternity and pierced by thousands of arrows like she did in her previous life!

This time, Xiao Jinxuan was silent for a long time.

There was no expression on his face, but the surging waves in his dark pupils revealed his inner unrest.

Xie Zhuoning was originally looking at him expectantly, but when he didn't respond, the light in his eyes gradually faded.

Yes, she was naive.

Who is he? Xiao Jinxuan, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, the future Prince Regent.

He has the entire people of Daye in his heart, so how could he be willing to do such a rebellious thing with her?

"I'm sorry, I was naive. If possible, just pretend that I didn't say these words today..."

"No." Xiao Jinxuan suddenly interrupted her.

She was stunned, a little surprised, "What?"

"This king says, no."

You can't pretend she didn't say those words.

Xie Zhuoning raised his lips sarcastically, "What is your Highness Prince Xuan planning to do? Arrest me for speaking such rebellious words and torture me?"

Looking at her like a little beast, with her sharp fangs raised in an instant, ready to pounce and bite anyone at any time, Xiao Jinxuan chuckled and actually found her cute.

"Why not think positively? What if I agree?"

Promise?

Promise what?

Agree to her almost crazy idea of ​​seizing the throne?

Xie Zhuoning's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at him in disbelief, "You...you agreed to this?"

Was it too smooth?

"If I don't agree, are you planning to turn against me immediately?" Xiao Jinxuan looked at her with a fierce look, as if he could see through her.

In fact, she had already prepared to turn against herself, right?

That's why people say that they are not the same kind of people.

Maybe even getting rid of herself was part of her original plan.

Xie Zhuoning touched his nose and turned his head away guiltily.

So, if men are too smart, it is not easy to deceive them!

"Besides," Xiao Jinxuan paused and added, "Who said that there is no winner or loser in a bet?"

She said she would prove to him that the prince was not a wise ruler.

And that is indeed the case.

A prince who bypassed the review of the Three Departments and the laws of Daye and directly shot and killed a court official was so arbitrary and despotic that he disregarded the law. If the whole of Daye followed suit, wouldn't it be chaos?

She is right.

Daye is now in a terrible state.

If you don't cut out all these abscesses and rotten areas, healthy flesh will not grow.

"That's great!" Xie Zhuoning held Xiao Jinxuan's face and kissed him on the forehead.

Her eyes were bright, like the light shining on snow, and the smile on her lips was even brighter than usual.

Xiao Jinxuan raised his hand and touched the place on his forehead where she had kissed him, and it felt hot.

I couldn't help but sigh, "I was planning to make a deal with you after I won the bet with you. Now it seems that I don't know when it will be done."

"Hmm?" Xie Zhuoning was curious. "What conditions are you going to propose?"

Xiao Jinxuan looked at her steadily and said, "Marry you."

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

Xiao Jinxuan was a little disappointed as he didn't expect her to react like this.

It seems that even if two people open their hearts to each other, some things cannot be forced.

"Well..." Xie Zhuoning scratched his head in embarrassment, "Then you have to wait for me to cancel the engagement first."
