Chapter 58 The Fourth Villain
During the days when chǎnshǐguān was around, Zhou Xiaomiao returned to his previous lazy self. If the wound on chǎnshǐguān shoulder hadn't healed yet, he might have given up his job and become the shopkeeper.
Shen Xinzhi was a little disappointed, because he felt that the other person disliked him less and less. He was originally very clingy when he first woke up. In the past half month, he made sure that his wound was not serious. After the scar faded away, he no longer felt any pain. He have enjoyed the treatment of being followed every step of the way, and even talking about things by him has become like a kitten nestling in my arms.
There is no doubt that the other party trusts him and likes him, but Shen Xinzhi prefers the time when he sticks to him. He failed to hear the other party's several hints and even deprived him of the opportunity to work together.
Shen Xinzhi felt aggrieved. He stared at his shoulder in his spare time and stretched out his hands tentatively, wondering if he was so worried about him because he was injured before. Should he...
Someone grabbed the hand that touched the wound. Zhou Xiaomiao looked at him nervously: "What do you do first?"
"It's a little itchy, I just touched it." Shen Xinzhi hid all his thoughts without changing his expression.
"Don't touch it if it's itchy." Zhou Xiaomiao grabbed his two big hands and squeezed them tightly: "If you can't help but rub the scar and crack it, all the pain you suffered before will be in vain."
"But I always can't control it. It's so painful." Shen Xinzhi lowered his eyes slightly, looking a little sad.
Zhou Xiaomiao paused, could only hold his big hand, and said helplessly: "Then I will follow you. If you want to catch me, just hold my hand and don't let go. Do you understand?"
"Okay." After succeeding, Shen Xinzhi pursed his lips slightly, then smiled and kissed Zhou Xiaomiao on the side of his face: "Then it will be hard for you to follow me all the time."
Zhou Xiaomiao rolled his eyes at him. He actually knew very well what chǎnshǐguān was thinking and didn't bother to say anything. What can I do? Just pamper him!
Now that his goal was achieved and he had returned to his previous inseparable state, Shen Xinzhi became full of energy again and discussed the outside situation and next plans with Zhou Xiaomiao.
The struggle between the fiefdom and the royal family was inevitable. After a few days, the fiefdom's disadvantages became apparent. The treasury was not as rich as the national treasury, and the military strength was not as strong as the national power. The tug of war might last for a month, but if the emperor refused to relax, then The fiefdom is still stretched thin and cannot be delayed for long.
It was all because of himself that he caused this situation. Shen Xinzhi felt guilty and wanted to settle the situation. Even looking at the people in front of him, an idea gradually formed in his mind. It was not impossible to completely solve this situation. As long as he rebelled By completely overthrowing the people in high positions now, all problems will be solved. What's more, the young prince is also a member of the royal family!
Since he can support the current emperor to ascend to the throne, Shen Xinzhi's power as the prime minister's subordinate cannot be underestimated. Since he can recommend the previous one, he can also talk and do it if he replaces the other one first, and he will never break his promise.
He began to contact the forces in the capital and scattered around, and the deployment of troops was arranged bit by bit. The large net that was scattered sporadically at the beginning was to prevent the prince from rebelling, but he did not expect that the troubles in the world would become a secret weapon against the emperor in the future. What it looks like, no one can imagine!
After sighing with emotion, Shen Xinzhi launched a general attack without mercy. In just three months, he combined the strength of all parties and intercepted more than 200,000 troops. Two-thirds of the forces in the court defected. In the fourth month, it was easy Overthrowing the emperor sitting on the high throne.
The new emperor Zhou Xiaomiao who was elected to the throne was very unhappy. He didn't like being an emperor, and he didn't like getting up to go to any morning court. Shen Xinzhi half coaxed and half persuaded, and even gave in and allowed the other party to add three more dishes to each meal. The conditions of the seafood finally made Zhou Xiaomiao happy and willing to go to the morning court.
The stupid emperor before was exiled far away by Zhou Xiaomiao, and he didn't like anyone who tried to steal a man from him at all. The stupid emperor was also miserable. His sudden antagonism with Shen Xinzhi was also caused by the supporting role of Concubine Yu. The beauty trap fell on deaf ears. Without the deterrence of the prime minister, the capital was in chaos, and everyone started to make moves.
In the plot, there is indeed a link between brothers splitting up, but the heroine discovered the clues in advance and solved the problem. For this reason, the heroine was also canonized as a first-class lady. In addition, she is the prime minister's wife who is more powerful than anyone else. The status is very noble and full of scenery.
But now, the princess is still a princess. Even if the place of residence has changed from a fief to a palace, and she is the only direct relative of the new emperor, she is still not favored, living in a deeper palace like a transparent person.
Yu Le'an was very angry. She had already learned that the leader of the alliance had died at the hands of Zhou Xiaomiao, and her last hope for the other party had been wiped out. She knew that the history of success and defeat was written by the victor, so even if she spread the word, Nowadays, if the Holy Emperor likes men, and even has an affair with the Prime Minister, it will not cause any trouble. There will even be people who come to find good-looking young people to offer sacrifices to please the Emperor.
She was so weak that she couldn't stand up to the emperor of the same dynasty, but... she was so unwilling to do so. Why was her beloved killed by the other side with a single knife, and she was locked up in the palace, while the other side was wearing bright clothes, angry horses, and being wanton. Why... ...Why on earth is this! Did I come across time just to be a stepping stone for others?
It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. Why did I travel back in time? I might as well travel back in time... Maybe, maybe I can travel back in time if I die, yes, that's definitely the case!
However, when I leave, I have to do something, something earth-shattering!
Yu Le'an clenched the sachet in her hand, with irrational madness flashing in her eyes. The plan in her mind gradually took shape, causing her to raise her head and laugh: "Hahahaha, it's over, it's going to be over soon."
The depression caused by the inner courtyard of the palace and the pain of losing her lover made Yu Le'an almost crazy. She was a rational madman and wanted to use her last carnival to send herself away. She wanted to use the life of that dog emperor to commemorate her own!
...
Yu Le'an is getting married. She proposed the marriage herself, and Zhou Xiaomiao chose the candidate. He knows all the heroine's movements, and naturally also knows what the other party's intentions are. He doesn't want a good family to be ruined by this woman, so he Shen Xinzhi was asked to pick someone he wanted to kill, and the marriage was casually arranged.
When he succeeded, Zhou Xiaomiao guessed that the other party would definitely be swallowed up by unwilling hatred. Coupled with the gossip of the palace maids and eunuchs, Yu Le'an, who was already proud and conceited, would definitely not be able to accept it, and would definitely fill up her hatred level.
I guess the heroine also thinks that it is very refreshing to give herself a fatal blow when she is most successful!
Evil intentions.
On the wedding day, Zhou Xiaomiao was sitting in the high hall, watching the newlyweds kneeling before him, kowtowing seriously and saying goodbye to him, and suddenly felt a little sad.
If Yu Le'an had not been time-traveled by the heroine, she would definitely have a very good relationship with her brother. When she gets married, the original owner will definitely carefully select a family for her and marry her off in a glorious way, instead of having a purposeful intention now. Choose to get married!
Zhou Xiaomiao sighed and looked at the tea cup that the heroine held up in front of him. He did not take it immediately. Instead, he raised his hand to tie up the hair on her temples and whispered in her ear: "I know you're not Yu Le'an."
The tea cup suddenly began to ripple with water. Yu Le'an stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes. Her vision went dark. She didn't expect that the other person would hide it so deeply... He actually discovered her true identity but she never knew it. After all, she tried to use his sister's identity to cover up, no wonder, no wonder he was not good to her from the beginning... He found out, he actually found out!
Zhou Xiaomiao really couldn't withstand the sharp gaze of chǎnshǐguān, so he could only sit up straight and distance himself, reached out to pick up the tea, drank it in one gulp while the heroine's eyes were shining, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said softly, " So, why do you think I still drink this bowl of poisonous tea?"
"Snapped--"
The teacup fell from his hand and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. Zhou Xiaomiao did not wait for the heroine to react, so he fell directly onto his position. The originally joyful hall instantly became screaming and panicked, and the proud groom standing below stood there for a second. Heaven went to hell in one second. After confirming something, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Yu Le'an sat down and covered her face and cried. She cried and laughed crazily, but she couldn't help but shed tears. She knew that she had lost. From beginning to end, there was nothing left... She thought she was a chess player. , these ancients are all pawns in her hands, but in the end, she is the most cannon fodder!
Shen Xinzhi rushed forward and looked at the man who was starting to bleed from the corner of his mouth with trembling hands. He panicked and said, "The imperial doctor... yes, find the imperial doctor!"
He picked up the person, kicked Yu Le'an off the high platform, and shouted angrily: "Take down Princess Le'an!" After saying that, he hurried away with the person in his arms and went straight to the Imperial Hospital!
Naturally, there are people behind him to take care of them. They were all arranged before. After all, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is a cancer of the imperial court. He is corrupt, bends the law and oppresses the people. However, he is an old fox who hides his tail well like a veteran of the three dynasties. It is really difficult to touch him without evidence. This time they were all taken down, their homes confiscated, and exiled. They deserved it!
But this was Zhou Xiaomiao's own imagination. Shen Xinzhi had no idea that the heroine could poison. Looking at the people surrounded by the imperial doctor, his eyes were almost red with anger. He really underestimated the viciousness of this woman Yu Le'an. He even managed to kill his own brother, he was so vicious!
The poison was so strong that Zhou Xiaomiao just vomited blood at first, and eventually his nose began to bleed. The imperial doctor was afraid that the medicine would invade the heart, lungs, and seven orifices and the bleeding would stop, so he immediately swarmed in and tried all kinds of methods to finally stop it. After staying here, most of the toxins were removed.
Shen Xinzhi paced anxiously behind them. He was anxious and angry for a moment and felt that his vision went dark. He leaned on the pillar to calm down for a while. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to ignore it, but the pain just got into his mind. Same, even more powerful.
When his eyes went dark due to pain, it seemed as if some bright light suddenly appeared in front of him. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the person in front of him and suddenly asked: "Do you like me?"
I like you, he likes him! The answer he wanted to say was spinning in his mind, but his thin lips could not open even though he tried his best. Shen Xinzhi was anxious. The more he wanted to say, the more he said it.
"I'm telling you something big!" The person in front of him suddenly approached his arms and whispered, "I'm going to rebel!"
"What's your expression..." "I think I can sleep in and eat as much fish as I want..." "You don't want me anymore, right..." "You drive me away..."
All the memories seemed to have been taken away and then returned. Shen Xinzhi looked at the person who was gradually his original owner. He tried hard to catch it but couldn't move. He remembered, he remembered everything... Don't leave. ...Don't go!!!
The person on the bed suddenly sat up. The imperial doctor was startled and immediately saluted: "Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister feeling unwell... Hey, hey, where are you going, Prime Minister!"
"Where is the Emperor!" Shen Xinzhi looked frightened. He grabbed the imperial doctor and asked, "Where is the Emperor!"
"He's in the hall, in the side hall." The imperial doctor was choked by his collar and couldn't breathe, so he spoke quickly without delay.
Shen Xinzhi didn't rush to put on his shoes and rushed out. When he saw the person lying quietly on the bed, his knees softened and he knelt in front of the bed... It was his fault that he forgot about him and let him drink it. It's so hard, it's all because he didn't take good care of him...
Shen Xinzhi held his hand gently, his eyes were gentle, but his heart became more and more desolate. If something happened to the emperor, he would be buried with him. He must be very scared when he is about to die... How could he let him die? How is it possible for people to take such a path?
"Prime Minister, don't worry, the emperor just fell asleep. He will wake up soon after the toxins are cleared." The imperial doctor next to him reminded carefully. Seeing the other person's sudden gaze, he was so frightened that he took three steps back. It was too scary. !
Only now did Shen Xinzhi react. He quickly checked his pulse and tried to breathe. The joy of surviving the disaster instantly filled his heart, making him wish he could hug him and never leave him again!
The imperial doctor said from the side: "The emperor seems to have taken detoxification pills, so no matter how strong the poison is, if the detoxification pills protect the heart and lungs, the person can be rescued. The emperor is really blessed!"
"Eat in advance?" Shen Xinzhi's brain started to work again and quickly discovered something was wrong. Eat... in advance? That means he knew?
When Zhou Xiaomiao woke up, it was the afternoon of the next day. He was really hungry, and his stomach growled. He opened his eyes desperately and finally saw a glimmer of light.
Shen Xinzhi immediately came over and held him in his arms, "Are you awake? Come and drink some water."
Zhou Xiaomiao lowered his head and took a few sips, almost crying with grievance: "You lied, this is obviously medicine, it's so painful that I won't drink it..."
"Just a few sips. Just drink it and you'll be fine. Otherwise, if you're not in good health now, you won't be able to eat seafood. The imperial doctor just gave you special instructions." Shen Xinzhi coaxed him to take a few more sips, and finally fed the medicine in.
Not to mention that the seafood was okay, Zhou Xiaomiao's stomach immediately started singing: "I'm hungry, so hungry QAQ"
Shen Xinzhi held him in his arms and asked him to rinse his mouth to relieve the pain. The palace maid had already brought over the warm porridge. Shen Xinzhi let the person in his arms lean on his chest, circled the person himself, lowered his head and fed him spoonfuls of porridge.
Although the porridge didn't taste good, Zhou Xiaomiao was so hungry that he still drank a large bowl. When he asked for more, he was refused. He shouldn't be too full just after waking up.
Zhou Xiaomiao felt aggrieved: "You don't love me anymore. You would never have treated me like this before."
"Nonsense, I would never have promised to add three more seafood dishes to every meal for you before!" Shen Xinzhi rubbed his belly to help digestion, and said coolly on his head.
Zhou Xiaomiao: "...you, have you recovered your memory?"
"I was so scared by you that the memory of peeing my pants as a child came back!"
Zhou Xiaomiao laughed and didn't dare to talk. Previously, chǎnshǐguān wanted to help monitor the heroine, but Zhou Xiaomiao was afraid that if he found out that the heroine was preparing to drug him, he would not be able to complete the plot point, so he refused to allow him to intervene. This is their brother and sister's matter. It seems certain. Chǎnshǐguān must be scared!
Zhou Xiaomiao raised his face and pouted: "Kiss!"
"No kiss." Shen Xinzhi refused coldly: "The imperial doctor told me that you took the detoxification pills in advance. Did you know that she would poison you?"
Zhou Xiaomiao was instantly frightened: "I just know a little bit..."
"And you still drink it?" Shen Xinzhi became angry instantly, almost holding the person in his arms and confronting him face to face.
"I thought because we're re both brother and sister, she might stop...but in fact, I was overthinking it." Zhou Xiaomiao immediately played the emotional card, lest the bully would beat him on the butt, so he could only pretend to be a loving brother.
Sure enough, Shen Xinzhi's anger was mostly gone, but he still tugged on his ears and warned: "Even if this is the case, you are not allowed to treat yourself like this in the future. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it, I heard it." Zhou Xiaomiao started to act coquettishly again, raising his head to kiss the chin of chǎnshǐguān, and the occasional bite would make him feel numb, and it didn't hurt at all.
Shen Xinzhi lost all his temper after being kissed. He lowered his head and kissed the person in his arms tenderly. He only stayed for a moment because he was afraid that he would be out of breath, and then straightened up.
The second plot point was delayed for half a year, but it was finally completed. When Zhou Xiaomiao drank the poisonous tea, he actually deliberately did not want to make the heroine happy, so he frightened her and made her think that she had been prepared. Everything that happened now was just for Justifiably kill her, her biological sister, and the Minister of Household Affairs.
But in fact, apart from secretly taking a detoxification pill, he drank a large cup of poisonous tea without any protection. He was indeed brought back from the line of life and death. Even after he woke up, his body was still weak because the toxins could not be cleaned out. It's ruthless and needs to be nursed back to health slowly.
So the Prime Minister took up the position of regent, usually helping to manage the government affairs, but he also liked to stick with Zhou Xiaomiao, so he would always hold the little white dumpling to criticize memorials. Occasionally, he would get interested, push the memorial aside and use his hand to press a few plum blossom prints on the meat pad and add a few strokes himself to create a plum blossom picture.
At this time, Zhou Xiaomiao became excited. He started to get ink on the paper and jumped randomly on the paper. Finally, she jumped into the arms of chǎnshǐguān. Seeing that his clothes were stained in a mess by himself, he smiled even more happily. .
"Naughty." Shen Xinzhi was helpless but doting on him, letting him play tricks on him while he carefully put away the messy paw prints.
But as long as Zhou Xiaomiao is naughty, he will be punished twice by the official. First, he will have to explain to him complicated matters such as important national events and memorials to the court, and secondly... on bed!
After a year of this, Zhou Xiaomiao's health was almost healed, and Shen Xinzhi began to think about other things. He felt that it was time to announce their relationship, and began to make arrangements for their marriage.
Zhou Xiaomiao only has one request, and that is - "I want to be the groom's official!"
Shen Xinzhi rubbed his head: "There is no Fengguanxiapei that day, so there is no distinction between these."
Zhou Xiaomiao immediately felt aggrieved: "But I want to be the groom's official QAQ"
Shen Xinzhi: "..."
Zhou Xiaomiao: "I want to be one. If you don't let me, I won't get married to you. You can get married by yourself, hum!"
Shen Xinzhi was angry and funny: "Do you really want to see me in bridal clothes?"
"I want to see it!" Zhou Xiaomiao was so excited that he had never seen it before!
Shen Xin knew: "I can wear it, but you have to promise me that you won't turn into a cat to avoid sex at night!"
"That's because you went too far!"
"Nonsense, you obviously like it too!"
"QAQ"
In the end, after Zhou Xiaomiao thought about it, he still wanted to see chǎnshǐguān marry him and had the upper hand, so he could only agree with a pout: "Okay, deal!"
After the two of them had agreed, things could continue. Zhou Xiaomiao was very interested in selecting the bride's clothes. He was very surprised when he watched him being measured, so he just waited to see the result.
Shen Xinzhi kept it hidden until the wedding day when he took the bridal attire back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and waited for the wedding the next day before changing into it.
The next day, Zhou Xiaomiao came to see his bride in high spirits. He looked at chǎnshǐguān dressed in red and had his long hair pulled back. He looked good, but chǎnshǐguān was tall, with slender and powerful limbs and sword-shaped eyebrows. Ying Ting looked awkward, Zhou Xiaomiao almost fell off the horse with laughter, he was so happy.
Shen Xinzhi is very calm, after all, thinking about it tonight makes him happy :)
The emperor's marriage was a big event, not to mention the marriage between the prime minister and the emperor... let alone the marriage between two men! Along the way from the prime minister's palace to the palace, the streets were full of people watching the excitement. The unprecedented excitement was almost empty.
Zhou Xiaomiao and chǎnshǐguān came to the hall to salute. As they bowed to the heaven and earth, Shen Xinzhi accidentally got slapped on the cheek by Tassel. He immediately heard the laughter coming from the other side, and immediately remembered something in his heart. Pen, don't rush, don't rush, he will wait for the evening:)
After paying homage to the church, the two worshiped their ancestors and engraved Shen Xinzhi's name on the family tree. No matter what the world said, the two people still became husband and wife openly and honestly even in ancient times. Zhou Xiaomiao canonized Shen Xinzhi as queen, becoming the first person in history. This male queen opened up a new path for subsequent development.
Zhou Xiaomiao, who had just had fun all day, couldn't laugh anymore at night. He begged and begged all night to no avail. Chǎnshǐguān started to calculate the bills in his mind, and it wasn't until dawn that he finally let go. A naughty person.
The system went to sleep again, leaving Zhou Xiaomiao and his chǎnshǐguān to live a life without shame, either rolling on the bed all day long. Shen Xinzhi still remembered what the other person had lied about him, So he specially bought erotic pictures and found many positions to unlock them one by one. Of course, there are also positions that Zhou Xiaomiao can be on:)
Zhou Xiaomiao: QAQ
He really shouldn't challenge the majesty of chǎnshǐguān...
