Chapter 284 Xie Jingmo’s words are very coherent.
Yun Zhao looked at Fu Hai quietly.
Fu Hai's voice became even lower as the sun set.
"Then we must elect a new emperor."
"The late emperor had no children, so the new emperor can only choose from among the princes. The second prince is violent, the third prince is lustful, and the fourth prince is greedy and cold-hearted. Only—"
Only Xie Jingmo.
A heart full of sincerity.
If he wanted to control someone, among these people, Yun Zhao could easily control Xie Jingmo.
"If the other princes ascended the throne, you wouldn't be able to rule from behind the scenes, and it would be only a matter of time before your power was stripped away. After all, these princes have already ascended the throne and are about the same age as you. Asking them to address you as mother is really..."
Fu Hai was very tactful.
Yun Zhao already understood everything.
After all, among these people, there is only Xie Jingmo.
Now, Xie Jingmo is at a disadvantage in terms of status, but if the situation changes, Xie Jingmo's status will definitely be elevated, and she will then be at a disadvantage.
"But if you send General Xie to the northwest right now, a married prince will have no chance of ascending the throne in the future, and you will have lost this move."
Fu Hai stopped talking after he finished speaking.
Yun Zhao is very smart, no need to say more.
Yun Zhao had not thought of this step yet because she was very confident in her medical skills.
Fu Hai just wanted to remind Yun Zhao that no matter whether it could be used or not, he should keep this move.
When Fu Hai walked out, Xie Jingmo was walking towards him.
Seeing Fu Hai, he handed over a string of candied haws, "I bought it at the door, there's one extra, you try it."
Xie Jingmo is a rebellious person, but he is used to living in the military camp, so he is not very humble.
He didn't hear what Fu Hai planned for him.
But it didn't stop him from buying something delicious for Yun Zhao when he saw one. He would also bring a portion for Fu Hai.
Xie Jingmo's attitude was very frank, and he didn't have the slightest intention of currying favor with the empress dowager's entourage.
I simply thought you might like it too, so I bought you something delicious.
After giving Fu Hai the gift, Xie Jingmo was about to enter the Yun Zhao Palace.
Fu Hai was holding a large string of candied haws in his hand. No one knew how Xie Jingmo walked through such a long palace road to get in with this large string of candied haws.
When you walked here, were you laughed at by others?
"General Xie," the setting sun slowly fell, and the afterglow fell on Xie Jingmo's shoulders. Fu Hai stood up straight for a rare time. He looked at Xie Jingmo and asked a question.
"If you could go back to the time when you went to war, would you still choose to take the Queen Mother with you?"
This question was not what Xie Jingmo expected.
But since Fu Hai asked, Xie Jingmo still thought about it seriously.
He was silent for a long time, as if he was struggling internally.
After a long time, he sighed, as if after a struggle between his conscience and his desires, he finally surrendered helplessly.
He said, "Even though Yun Zhao will be unhappy if I say this, no matter how many times I think about it, I will still choose to set a trap and take Yun Zhao away."
Even so, there will be many things to come.
But whenever he thought about the seven years he had spent at the frontier and the fact that Yun Zhao would have been married to another man when he returned, he would still feel the desire to kill.
"If it happened again, would you still exchange five thousand pieces of armor for the Queen Mother?"
"No," Xie Jingmo said without a second thought this time, "If I could do it again, I would protect her for the rest of my life."
When he brought her back to the military camp, he immediately married Yun Zhao!
Who cares about threats, undercover agents, or queen mothers?
Yun Zhao must be hers!
Thinking of this, Xie Jingmo smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that there is no chance to do it again."
After Xie Jingmo finished speaking, he walked into the palace.
Fu Hai took a bite of the candied haws.
The candied haws tasted sour and sweet. Fu Hai said softly, "There will be another chance, so, General Xie, remember your promise today."
While Xie Jingmo frowned, Yun Zhao supported his chin and thought about something.
She didn't even notice Xie Jingmo came in.
Xie Jingmo handed over the candied haws and Yun Zhao raised his eyes.
"Try it, the candied haws this season aren't too sour."
Yun Zhao took it and ate one.
Xie Jingmo's eyes were bright, and he looked at her straight, "Is it delicious?"
Yun Zhao was originally leaning on the table, but then she realized that she was too close to Xie Jingmo. She sat up straight and said lightly, "It's okay."
Xie Jingmo laughed, "Isn't it sweet enough?" He found a seat and said, "I'll go pick some hawthorns myself and coat them with thick sugar for you. I'm sure it will suit your taste."
Yun Zhao was silent for a moment.
Ate another one.
When she ate the third one, she raised her head and saw Xie Jingmo staring at her.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Jingmo swallowed the sour saliva in his mouth, "I was in a hurry when I came in, so I bought two, one for Fu Hai and one for you. I haven't tasted it yet."
Yun Zhao had other things on his mind and didn't think much about it.
He handed over the candied haws in his hand and said, "There are more here."
Yun Zhao didn't notice anything wrong, but Xie Jingmo was stunned for a moment.
"You...give it to me?"
Yun Zhao took it back and said, "Oh, I've eaten it."
The next second, Xie Jingmo stood up from his seat, leaned over and took a bite of the candied haws in Yun Zhao's hand.
Yun Zhao was startled.
Xie Jingmo was already biting into the sour candied haws and laughing, "Delicious."
Yun Zhao glanced at the candied haws in his hand, then looked at Xie Jingmo, and handed the rest to him, "You can eat it."
Xie Jingmo didn't dislike it at all and took it and ate it himself.
"What did you and Fu Hai say at the door just now?"
Yun Zhao supported his head and asked casually.
Xie Jingmo told the truth.
After listening to this, Yun Zhao fell silent again.
"Zhao Zhao, I'm serious. I'm not lying. If I had the chance to do it again, I would definitely protect you and never let you suffer any injustice!"
Yun Zhao blinked and looked at Xie Jingmo.
This guy also spoke nicely in bed.
He said all the nice things, but then changed his attitude overnight. Isn't that really cruel?
She had already missed it once.
Are you going to make the same mistake again for the second time?
If the new emperor came to the throne, her position as the empress dowager would remain unshakable, but she would have no power.
So what if Xie Jingmo becomes the emperor? Can he really live in harmony with her?
Yun Zhao didn't know.
She didn't dare to gamble on the man's mind anymore.
Xie Jingmo sat in the hall, not understanding Yun Zhao's dilemma. He ate a candied haws and watched the expression on Yun Zhao's face change a hundred times in just a few minutes.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It's really hard to guess what a woman is thinking.
Xie Jingmo refused to leave Yun Zhao's place. "I'm leaving with the Xiongnu tomorrow. Can't I stay with you for one more night? If you want me to accompany you in the future, it won't work. I belong to someone else."
Xie Jingmo said something sour on purpose.
"There are too few men as strong as me. I won't be able to serve you in the future. It's futile for you to reminisce about me in the middle of the night. Who told you to marry me off? You're making others happy but yourself miserable. Yun Zhao, you really don't know how to entertain yourself."
Xie Jingmo's words were very coherent.
