Chapter 308 This is fate!
Fu Hai stood up and pointed at Xie Jingmo's face. "It's just a slap mark. Doesn't it hurt?"
He's still grinning.
I guess he's in so much pain?
Xie Jingmo waved his hand generously, "It doesn't hurt."
When he said this, he raised his voice, as if he was afraid that someone didn't know what he was saying.
"I'm so happy!"
"Crack!" It was the sound of the brush breaking.
Deputy General Gao and Fu Hai's eyes widened instantly.
Deputy General Gao whispered, "What did you do? Oh my God! That brush is her favorite thing." Xie Jingmo was about to speak, but Deputy General Gao immediately said, "Ancestor, we can hear you, please keep your voice down."
Xie Jingmo smiled.
Say it even louder than before: "We're flirting!"
"Crack!" Another sound of a brush breaking.
Hearing this, Deputy General Gao was afraid that Yun Zhao would really kill him, so he immediately hooked his arm around Xie Jingmo's neck and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Let's go, let's go."
Xie Jingmo was pulled away by Deputy General Gao.
Deputy General Gao kept looking at Xie Jingmo all the way, "Are you crazy? Or do you want to die?"
"You must know that Yun Zhao is now the Queen Mother. Why do you have to challenge her authority? If she really wants to kill you, you will die."
Xie Jingmo smiled faintly, "She's not the kind of person who kills people casually."
Deputy General Gao: "Then you can't keep provoking her. Look at how worry-free Mu Chengyan is. If you act like this, it would be strange if Yun Zhao would be interested in you."
Xie Jingmo smiled and said, "Don't meddle in my love affairs, you rough guy."
Deputy General Gao shook his head. "Whatever you say. Hey—where are you taking me?"
The road we came from was not heading out of the palace.
Xie Jingmo said, "Accompany me to see the little emperor."
At this point, Deputy General Gao's face turned secretive. He whispered to Xie Jingmo, "The imperial physician said it's not very good. It's probably only going to last a few years. Now many people are guessing who will be the next to take the throne."
After Deputy General Gao finished speaking, he was silent for a moment.
Then he looked at Xie Jingmo and said, "Jingmo, do you know? Some people say that the next emperor will be you."
Xie Jingmo pursed his lips and said, "Bullshit!"
Deputy General Gao said, "Really? And more and more people have been saying this recently. You were the crown prince before, then the prince, and you were so successful in battle that the soldiers respected you. If you really take the throne, it will be the people's will. Jing Mo, I'm telling you the truth. If it's not Yun Zhao, I hope it's you."
Deputy General Gao lowered his voice.
Xie Jingmo said: "Don't think too much, I won't snatch things from her."
Deputy General Gao disagreed, "You two have a relationship that was formed by sleeping in the same bed. What's the point of fighting over it? Aren't they all family?"
Xie Jingmo didn't hear the rest.
The three words "family" are very pleasant to hear.
He smiled and said, "Ah, yes, mine and hers, a family, but she is more suitable than me, you know, I am not interested in this aspect."
Deputy General Gao said, "Then you can do the same as before. You take the position and she will make plans for you. I think Yun Zhao will be happy." Deputy General Gao knew what Xie Jingmo was thinking. "You are in the high position, and Yun Zhao will do whatever you want. If Yun Zhao is in the high position, the position behind her may not be yours."
My own brother thinks so deeply about it.
"Yun Zhao has Mu Chengyan now, so you have nothing to do with him. If you become the emperor, you can ask Mu Chengyan to leave and he will leave. You see, Mu Chengyan has been treating you with disdain lately. To put it bluntly, he is afraid of you.
He's afraid you have ambitions, and he's also afraid you really want to be in power. If you really do, he'll lose. So, see how close he's been to the people in the court lately?"
Xie Jingmo naturally knew about this.
He was silent for a moment and then said, "I don't care about Mu Chengyan. I only care about who Yun Zhao chooses."
He doesn't care what other people think or do.
Xie Jingmo said this and entered the little emperor's palace.
When he came out, his face was solemn.
"How is it, am I right?" Deputy General Gao said, "Is he still seriously ill? I can see that his complexion is not good. The imperial physician said that he is relying on Yun Zhao's acupuncture to keep him going. Their decoctions are actually of little use."
Xie Jingmo's face was very cold. He really didn't expect it to come to this.
No wonder Yu Xiang and the others are eager to try it.
This matter is no longer something that can be carefully planned; it is extremely urgent.
Deputy General Gao saw that Xie Jingmo had remained silent. "If you were to take the throne, you could still protect Yun Zhao. If someone else were to take the throne, Yun Zhao would be exiled from the palace and unable to do anything. She's only in her twenties. Could you bear it?"
Xie Jingmo said solemnly: "I will arrange it, you just stay with her." After this spring examination is over, he will choose a suitable person and unite with those who support him. He thinks it will not be too difficult for Yun Zhao to take the position.
Unfortunately, Xie Jingmo thought this matter was too simple.
"Jing Mo, if you go up, we will support you wholeheartedly, but the Queen Mother can't."
"Yes, the Queen Mother is a woman after all. Besides, this is the Xie family's world. If you let Yun Zhao ascend the throne, we will be sorry to Emperor Taizong."
"Jing Mo, let's not talk about what will happen next. Now is the time for you to make a decision. You have a solid foundation, so it won't be a problem for you to take the position. If it were Yun Zhao... we wouldn't have said we would support you."
When Xie Jingmo was the crown prince, Emperor Taizong paved the way for him. Now everyone feels that he went astray, and it is reasonable for him to go straight now.
But accepting Yun Zhao as the new emperor is absolutely impossible!
"Jing Mo, our words are sincere. We are inseparable. The Queen Mother is not a member of the Xie family. This position in the world cannot be replaced by someone else. We are the people given to you by Emperor Taizong. We must be loyal to you, and even more so to the Xie family."
A group of people came with great joy and left with a look of loyalty.
"Jing Mo, think about it carefully. We are waiting for your news."
It's late at night.
Xie Jingmo sat alone in the hall for a long time.
Deputy General Gao came silently and sat next to Xie Jingmo. "Well, I told you, this is not possible?"
Xie Jingmo lowered his head, looking at the water cup in his hand. "I just don't understand. Isn't it the same for everyone in this world? Just treat the people well, and in just a few years, there have been several emperors. Is this really good for the people? Yun Zhao is a woman, but her strategy is superior to mine, and her mind is greater than Mu Chengyan's, and even many men's. She is more suitable for this position than anyone else."
Deputy General Gao sighed, "This is fate!"
Xie Jingmo looked at the bright moon hanging high outside and slowly stood up.
Vice Admiral Gao was behind him and asked, "Where are you going so late?"
Xie Jingmo took a step forward and said, "Return to the palace."
Deputy General Gao was astonished. "At this hour? The palace gates are already locked."
The palace gate could not stop Xie Jingmo. After he climbed over the wall, he sat beside Yun Zhao's bed.
