The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui was concerned about King Chu's injury, so he came to King Chu's mansion logically.

In the past few days, Li Xiu'er stayed at the Prince Chu's mansion, and Xiao Rui came, so she naturally had to personally receive her as a princess.

"How is the second brother?" Xiao Rui asked as he walked.

When Li Xiuer saw Xiao Rui again, although her expression was calm and casual, she still couldn't control the strangeness in her heart. Although I avoided him several times, I still couldn't restrain my heartbeat.

"The sword wound is not serious, but he is still unconscious. The Tai Hospital is researching the types of poison these days, hoping to prepare an antidote as soon as possible." Li Xiuer said.

"My lord is auspicious, so nothing will happen." The side concubine Du Xueqin also responded.

When he came to the bedroom, Xiao Rui visited Xiao Yiheng, and then secretly winked at Li Xiu'er.

Li Xiu'er noticed Xiao Rui's eyes, panicked, and lowered her head subconsciously, but she couldn't restrain the ups and downs in her heart, and immediately raised her lowered head.

Xiao Rui watched her lower her head and was about to sigh, but she raised her head again, her eyes were a little flustered, her eyes flickered, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Seeing this budding appearance, Xiao Rui's mouth suddenly became dry, and he quickly held back his inner reverie, and continued to signal her with his eyes, pointing at Du Xueqin.

Li Xiu'er understood, and immediately said to Du Xueqin: "Sister Xueqin, the medicine for the prince should be almost ready, why don't you go and see for yourself? I don't feel at ease when my subordinates do things."

"Okay, sister, don't worry, my sister will go right away." Without doubt, Du Xueqin immediately left the bedroom with her maid.

As soon as the person left, Li Xiu'er became suspicious, and was about to ask, but Xiao Rui immediately stopped her with his eyes.

Xiao Rui deliberately said: "Sister-in-law, I'll take a look at the status of the second brother. Don't worry if there's nothing serious. I won't bother you any more. Let me leave."

"His Royal Highness is worried, I'll see you off." Li Xiu'er understood and sent Xiao Rui out of the room.

After walking for a while, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Xiao Rui took the opportunity to reach out and stuff a ball of paper into Li Xiuer's hand.

Li Xiuer's body froze, and the strange touch between her fingers made her body tense.

Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother is leaving."

Li Xiu'er watched him leave, then went back to her bedroom and opened the note.

"Around noon, see you next to the Jingyuan cruise ship. I have something important to ask."

After reading the contents of the note, Li Xiuer burned it on the candle, and then she sat there in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

At noon, Li Xiu'er found Du Xueqin and said, "Sister, I'll go to Jingyuan. There are some things left there that need to be retrieved. Go back as soon as you go. Your husband will take care of it."

"Sister, don't worry, my husband will take care of me and other younger sisters, so don't worry." Du Xueqin said with a smile.

Li Xiuer nodded, and brought a confidant guard with her, and asked him to drive her to Jingyuan.

On the carriage, Li Xiuer's hands were intertwined, and her heart was ups and downs.

In order to take revenge on Xiao Yiheng, he had hinted at Xiao Rui so proactively that he didn't even send anyone to invite him to "heart-to-heart". It's important to talk about things, but if there's something really going on, or is it because the ulterior motives are not drinking?

If...he was about to do something, should he refuse or resist?

Li Xiu'er's heart was very turbulent, but she dared not deny the joy and anticipation deep in her heart.

Uneasy, Li Xiu'er came to Jingyuan, and came to the cruise ship by the lake. There was no one around, and Xiao Rui was not found.

While Li Xiuer was looking around, a voice suddenly came from the deck of the ship: "Sister Xiuer, here!"

Li Xiu'er looked at the cruise ship and saw the sad place in front of her. Here, Xiao Yiheng's slap, the anger and ruthlessness on his face completely wiped out her last thought of her husband.

Li Xiu'er got on the boat, and when she walked up to the third floor, she could feel the trembling and throbbing in her heart.

Xiao Rui was already waiting at the stairs, when he saw Li Xiu'er coming up, he cupped his hands and said, "Sister Xiu'er, I'm sorry, I asked you out secretly, I made it difficult for you."

Li Xiuer gently lifted the black hair on her forehead, and said softly: "Your Highness said that you have something to discuss, so I will come naturally, I don't know what it is?"

At the end, Li Xiu'er's voice trembled a little, she was afraid that Xiao Rui would rush over and hug her like that day, she was afraid that she would not have the strength or even the courage to resist.

Xiao Rui said in a deep voice: "Sister Xiu'er, I specially asked you to come to No Man's Land because there is something I need your help with. After thinking about it, I can only trouble you."

Li Xiu'er was taken aback for a moment, and then blushed. It turned out that she was just imagining it, and the other party really asked her to discuss something.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a strong sense of loss.

"Your Highness, please tell me!" Li Xiuer asked.

Xiao Rui said: "I suspect that the King of Chu was not poisoned, but pretended to be poisoned, and even deceived His Majesty for this."

"What? Really?" Li Xiuer was surprised.

As a princess, she naturally had to take care of Xiao Yiheng when he was unconscious. Although she hated Xiao Yiheng, as a princess, she had to take this responsibility. But in the past few days, I have never found any signs of Xiao Yiheng pretending to be unconscious.

Xiao Rui nodded, and said, "I'm looking for Sister Xiu'er, and I just want you to confirm it for me, to see if the King of Chu is pretending to be poisoned!"

After thinking about it, Xiao Rui finally decided to ask Li Xiuer for help.

It stands to reason that Li Xiuer would not help herself, but the changes in Li Xiuer these days also made Xiao Rui speculate that there is nothing more sad than heartbreak, and when Li Xiuer is completely disappointed in Xiao Yiheng, she will have the determination to move out of Chu Palace.

Moreover, if Xiao Yiheng really pretended to be poisoned, he must hide it from everyone. In this case, only someone like Li Xiuer who can stay close to Xiao Yiheng for a long time can verify the truth.

What Xiao Rui didn't expect was that Li Xiu'er looked at Xiao Rui after being astonished, and asked, "He is my husband, even if he deceives His Majesty, why should I help Your Highness?"

Xiao Rui was silent, yes, why did he help himself, did he want to expose Li Xiuer's scars, and said that he would help her take revenge on Xiao Yiheng?

There are some things that you know are fine, but you can't say them out loud.

"I..." Just when Xiao Rui was trying to say something, Li Xiuer suddenly spoke.

"The king of Chu is still my husband in name. I help you investigate him, which is no different from betraying him. So I need to know why I want to help you, who I am in your heart, so I can convince myself."

Li Xiu'er sighed softly, she almost agreed to Xiao Rui's request directly, she almost didn't think of refusing, but she held back in the end, she needs to understand one thing, that is what she is to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui was silent. He could feel Li Xiuer's inner struggle and pain. From the beginning to the present, although the two of them had no actual sexual relationship, the entanglement in the twilight was like threads, and she would hesitate and be timid.

Xiao Rui decided to tell the truth, and he said frankly: "In the past, you were just the princess of Chu to me. Whether I used it, pretended to be false, or sincere, it was just because you were the princess of Chu and you were my concubine. There is another way to face Chu Wang Xiao Yiheng."

"But last time on the cruise, I saw you crying so sadly. After I took you into my arms, you were just my sister Xiu'er, my friend and even a relative. You have nothing to do with the King of Chu."

After a pause, Xiao Rui spoke more bluntly: "That's why I came here to ask for your help this time, because I regard you as sister Xiu'er, not Princess Chu. My purpose is naturally to catch Xiao Yiheng. handle, and you don’t want to help me, it’s also reasonable.”

After hearing this, Li Xiuer's eyes turned red and she burst into tears.

This made Xiao Rui flustered again, and hurriedly said: "Sister Xiu'er, please don't cry, I will apologize to you."

Li Xiuer shook her head, let go of her tears gently, and a smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

"In the past, I was Princess Chu. For the so-called revenge, I did some crazy actions. I thought it scared you, and in your mind, you must think that I am not a good woman." Li Xiuer looked at Xiao Rui charmingly, The smile continued: "Now, if you call me sister Xiu'er, I will no longer be Princess Chu, not now, and never again. I will help you and help you find out Xiao Yiheng's conspiracy."

Xiao Rui was overjoyed and asked: "Really"

Li Xiu'er nodded, and asked back: "You want to hold Xiao Yiheng's handle, is it for the crown prince?"

"Not all." Xiao Rui sighed: "Sister Xiu'er still remembers that two months ago, Xiao Yiheng sent his subordinates to wrap a girl in a quilt to enter the mansion, and you discovered it. I happened to visit the Chu Palace that night."

Li Xiuer nodded and said, "I remember."

"The girl died, she was abused to death, and her body was thrown into the moat." Xiao Rui explained: "Sister Xiu'er should know that Xiao Yiheng fell in love with a maid selection officer, but by accident, he caught the wrong person , Xiao Yiheng became angry from embarrassment and hurt that girl."

"There is such a thing!" Li Xiuer's pretty face was filled with anger. At this time, not only did she hate Xiao Yiheng, but she also felt that he was heinous.

Xiao Rui nodded, and said: "Unfortunately, after the girl's tragic death, the case was also blamed on a bully, so let it go away. Maybe, in the whole world, there is only sister Xiu'er left as a witness. Besides, I Although he knows the truth, speaking out has become an unscrupulous slander in order to fight for the crown prince."

Li Xiuer nodded, understanding what Xiao Rui meant.

Xiao Rui said again: "So, how can I let Xiao Yiheng be the crown prince, or even the emperor? In the future, will sister Xiu'er hate me?"

"Why should I hate you?" Li Xiuer asked in surprise.

Xiao Rui said: "Look, if you don't stop Xiao Yiheng, if he becomes the prince, you will be the princess; if he becomes the emperor, you will be the queen."

Who knows, after Li Xiuer heard this, she sneered: "I am staying in Chu Palace now, as if I am in a sea of ​​swords and flames. If I become a queen, I don't know how much courage I will have to live on. All women in the world dream of being a queen, but I just want to find someone Lovers, husbands and children."

Sighing, she looked disappointed.

"So, if I help Xiao Yiheng, I will help myself." Li Xiuer said softly.

She found two reasons to help Xiao Rui, and the last trace of guilt was gone.

"Sister Xiu'er, I believe you will achieve your wish." Xiao Rui comforted.

Li Xiu'er looked at Xiao Rui with tenderness in her eyes, and the two people's eyes touched, and they hurriedly bounced away.

"By the way, I also know a secret!" Li Xiu'er said hastily when she thought of something.

Xiao Rui asked, "What's the matter?"

"You can't imagine that Zhang Yizhi has an affair with his side concubine Du Xueqin." Li Xiuer said solemnly.

Xiao Rui frowned. Sure enough, on the night of New Year's Eve, Li Xiuer discovered Zhang Yizhi and Du Xueqin's affair.

"Does anyone else know about this?" Xiao Rui asked.

Li Xiu'er shook her head and said: "I didn't intend to notice it either, except Du Xueqin's confidant maid, probably no one knows."

Xiao Rui nodded, that confidant maid was Dongchang's spy in Chu Palace.

"Sister Xiu'er, don't say anything about this." Xiao Rui warned.

Li Xiu'er nodded, gave Xiao Rui a blank look, and said: "You are so bad, are you going to be sly and let him lose face?"

Xiao Rui smiled awkwardly, it was designed to deal with you at the beginning, but it turned into the current situation.

I absolutely dare not say these words, but fortunately only Jia Xu and Li Yuanfang know, this matter will definitely rot in their stomachs.
