Small Supporting Female Lead - Chapter 111
Ji Shen killed corrupt officials in the south, opened warehouses to distribute grain, quickly put down the peasant uprising, and returned to the court.
He brought back the body of Emperor Yanxing, the half-dead grandson Liu Xiao. Ling Zhilan and her child were also traveling with her. But they have been properly and tightly protected by Ji Shen and never met Liu Xiao at all. Liu Xiao woke up from a severely injured coma and saw Ji Shen. According to Ji Shen’s statement, he was saved, but his injury and the tragic situation of Liu’s clan made his heart cold. He thought he had saved them by fleeing the clan to the south, but he didn’t expect to send everyone to death. What made him even more desperate was that he couldn’t speak because his vocal cords were damaged, and his tendons and hamstrings were also broken. Even if healed, he couldn’t use his strength. Ji Shen’s attitude towards him is no longer respectful, and his cold words made him deeply aware that the general situation is over.
Daye is in danger!
Liu Xiao suddenly felt that he had nothing to love, and was unwilling to die. He was lying on the bed and would think of Ling Zhilan from time to time. He didn’t know that she had been saved, but he hoped that she would live and save the last trace of blood for Liu’s royal family.
When the army returned to the capital, they displayed a series of “loyal ministers to rescue the emperor grandson.” Liu Xiao’s car was the emperor’s car, which was spacious and luxurious, but was pointed out by the onlookers, and some even threw stones and rotten vegetables. Liu Xiao’s “guard” just stopped symbolically, and did not take any punitive action. When the angry people saw this, they scolded and spit on the car, venting their resentment that they were abandoned by those in power.
Liu Xiao listened to these movements, but couldn’t say a word to refute, despair came to his heart again, this time mixed with anger.
He is not as young as a weak crown, lacks political experience, became a prince but has not been emperor for a day. The barbarian soldiers approached the city too fast, and he had no time to react and was stunned by the crisis. Keeping the green hills without worrying about firewood, his first consideration is of course to save his life, save Liu’s blood, save the loyal ministers who support the royal family… Ordinary people are no longer in his consideration. The guard soldiers he took away could not protect so many people.
Thunder and rain are all Jun En. The people can only suffer the suffering given by the superior. How can the lives of ants be compared with the nobles?
How dare they accuse him?
Why is the capital not broken? Why are these people still alive?
With such a hateful mind, Liu Xiao was transported back to the palace.
Dazed, half-dead for three days, Liu Xiao was stunned and exhausted, not knowing what he was still doing alive?
“Your Highness… Your Highness…”
It was Ling Zhilan’s cry that made him open his eyes.
Ling Zhilan looked pale and haggard, but smiled with red eyes because he woke up. Liu Xiao was stunned and couldn’t help but cast his eyes on the swaddling she was holding, and there was a burst of ecstasy in her eyes!
“Lan… Lan’er…” He couldn’t help but speak, but he didn’t expect that the vocal cords were already healed and he could speak. He immediately got a shock, struggling to prop up his body, “Son, is the lonely son born?”
“His Royal Highness, you are going to save our son! They want to kill him!” Ling Zhilan cried, holding the child close to him, let him see the child.
The child is already in the moon, his facial features are so beautiful, he sleeps soundly with closed eyes and fists, and occasionally smashes his diamond-shaped mouth, which is extremely pitiful.
This is Liu Xiao’s first child, still a son. He was so excited that he shook his body and said: “Okay! Okay! I have a son! I have a son! Liu has a son!”
Ling Zhilan stared at him as if he was crazy, and cried: “But they want to kill him! Your Highness, wake up! Our two mothers and sons are pointing to you to live!”
“Who dares to kill the lonely son? Who are they?” Liu Xiao’s eyes showed a fierce look.
Ling Zhilan said a name, he was a Zhongliang courtier who had been framed by Prince Qiming and had to go to an official position. He was born in a scholarly family, had a profound knowledge and a hard temper, and then he muttered and said softly: “And my father…”
Liu Xiao couldn’t help but said, “I knew Ling Su was rebellious! After he claimed to be loyal, he laughed to death. Can those people still believe him?”
Ling Zhilan had always respected and admired Ling Su, the great hero, and felt that he was omnipotent. When she heard Liu Xiao belittling him, she felt unhappy, but her tone became softer, she didn’t argue, she kept crying.
“Have you interceded with them? Where is Ling Zhixian? She is the child’s aunt!” Liu Xiao said eagerly.
Ling Zhilan said: “They want to make their children the emperor, their sisters the queen mother, and send me to the family temple…”
Liu Xiao froze and immediately understood. This is taking the emperor to make the princes. He was kept for his life so that the child could be rightfully enthroned. The child is too young, Ling Zhixian has a reason to listen to politics, and then Ling Su controls the government and becomes the uncrowned king. When the time is right, the child “abides to the virtuous” and Ling Su is the founding emperor of the new dynasty. Sure enough, a good abacus!
“Wolf ambition! Wolf ambition!” Liu Xiao said bitterly.
Ling Zhilan cried: “Your Highness, you must save our mother and son!”
“Lonely will not make an order!” Liu Xiao categorically said: “They want to be justified, and lonely will not let them do what they want.” They need to use his identity,
Ling Zhilan said: “But if we don’t do what they want, you and your child will be dead! The imperial decree can be faked, and the child can fake…”
At this moment, how could Ling Su and others be threatened by Liu Xiao? If Liu Xiao knew and was interested, they would use his biological son to leave a little blood for the Liu family. If Liu Xiao is dead and unable to follow, they will not cherish the lives of him and his son. Liu Xiao didn’t have any bargaining chips with them at all.
Liu Xiao’s face was as gray as death.
After a long silence, he said softly: “I want to see Ling Zhixian…”
Ling Zhixian came very quickly.
She wore a new palace dress with white embroidered gold thread, her waist was slender and straight, and she was full of spirit, exuding the aura of the superior from the inside to the outside. Against her, Liu Xiao looked sadly like a twisted shadow.
Liu Xiao asked himself that he had never liked her, and at this moment he hated her from the bottom of his heart. But Ling Zhixian was undoubtedly the most special woman he had ever met in his life, and he was extremely impressed by her.
He once took such a beautiful and proud woman into his palm. At that time, he was strong and her weak, and she still had the ability to suppress him, which made him unhappy and helpless with her, so he would later marry her sister and pet her sister. But she was wantonly indifferent. He did not wait for her to surrender and surrender. Instead, in less than two years, the strength of both parties was completely subverted, turning him weak and her strong. Where Liu Xiaolian lost himself, and how much role Ling Zhixian played in it is not clear. He was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood just seeing her proud look!
“His Royal Highness!” Ling Zhilan exclaimed, holding the child and making a gesture of rushing to help him, but her toes did not move.
Liu Xiao didn’t pay attention to her at all. He stared at Ling Zhixian and said with a dumb smile: “Concubine Taisun, won’t you come to help your husband?”
Ling Zhixian threw down an imperial decree, “This palace is not the imperial concubine, but the queen. And you, Liu Xiao, can also be emperor, but you know what to do.”
All Liu Xiao’s words about bargaining were blocked. Because Ling Zhixian grasped him too precisely. After Ling Zhilan’s reminder, he already knew that the road in front of him was a dead end. The only difference was that he died alone or dragged his son to die together.
Liu Xiao knew how to choose. The only thing he missed was to become emperor. Only the emperor can pass the throne to the prince, right?
He had been thinking about it for so long, so he did not hesitate to poison his grandfather who loved him so much, kill his father, and finally lost nothing. Before he died, he couldn’t wear a dragon robe and sit on a dragon chair, he would die.
But without his circumstantial hints, Ling Zhixian generously satisfied his wish, and Liu Xiao was not happy even if he got what he wanted.
Looking at Ling Zhixian’s appearance, there was no trace of affection for him, and he didn’t care about his life or death at all. She seemed indifferent no matter what he did.
Liu Xiao’s ghost envoy generally said: “Xian’er, if I didn’t like Lan’er, and treated you deeply and righteously, would you still treat me like this? I know, you hate me…”
Ling Zhixian glanced at him somewhat unexpectedly, then looked at Ling Zhilan, and said, “What are the causes and results, if yours has no meaning. I don’t hate you.”
Liu Xiao’s expression showed his unbelief.
Ling Zhixian rolled his eyes. He didn’t believe what she said anyway.
She was so busy that she didn’t want to waste time on Liu Xiao, so she left the imperial decree quickly and took Ling Zhilan’s son away.
Both Liu Xiao and Ling Zhilan’s faces became quite nervous, but the former was sincere and the latter was pretending, and they blinked at Liu Xiao from an angle that Liu Xiao could not see.
Ling Zhixian glared at Ling Zhilan, she immediately panted, letting go with a frightened face, looking at the child with blushing eyes, aggrieved and desperate.
Ling Zhixian didn’t bother to care about her. The spirit of this play broke away from Liu Xiao’s clutches, and regained his vitality after giving birth to a son for Ji Shen. He played the white lotus image into three parts, and his favorite was Ji Shen. As soon as Ji Shen faced her, his head turned into a ball of paste, letting her fool around is still happy, making people speechless.
Ling Zhixian hugged his nephew with a cold face and left.
The little doll slept throughout the whole process, and the little Gulu was sweet and soft, unaffected by the love and hatred of the adults.
The interaction between the two sisters was a rivalry in Liu Xiao’s eyes. At this time, he couldn’t help regretting that he had sowed the divorce too much, and made their sisters completely discredited. Otherwise, with a sisterhood, Ling Zhixian might not be so cruel to Ling Zhilan, so his child’s life would be an extra layer of protection.
After Ling Zhixian left, Liu Xiao looked at Ling Zhilan apologetically, “Lan’er, what I said just now is just to ease your sister’s resentment towards me…”
“His Royal Highness, I understand that you are for me and the child.” Ling Zhilan looked at him gently and sadly.
What an understanding woman, he made the right decision to like her in the first place.
Liu Xiao made up his mind, “Lan’er, can the orphan trust you? Can you swear to protect our son?”
Ling Zhilan said without hesitation: “I swear!”
Liu Xiao said solemnly: “Come here.”
Ling Zhilan leaned over. Liu Xiao whispered to her some of the royal family’s life-saving arrangements, so that she could use it when necessary.
Ling Zhilan listened carefully, even retelling it in a small voice so as not to remember it wrong. She solemnly said: “We will definitely live up to your entrustment.”
Liu Xiao nodded slightly.
He is not afraid of Ling Zhilan betrayal. She had turned against Ling Zhixian, no longer saw Rong Yu Ling’s family, and gave birth to the blood of the Liu family. As long as the child does not die, the imprint of the Liu family on her cannot be removed. And he could see that she really felt sorry for the child, and she would take good care of the child.
As long as his son is there, there is a glimmer of hope for the Liu family. He is not afraid that he will not be able to face his ancestors after death.
Half a month later, Liu Xiao ascended the throne and named Ling Zhixian the queen, Ling Zhilan the imperial concubine, the son of Ling Zhilan the prince, Ling Su the regent, and Liang Baoer the regent.
After the ascension ceremony, Liu Xiao was carried from the dragon chair to the wheelchair and returned to the bedroom.
Ling Zhilan accompanied him all the way back to the bedroom.
So affectionate, Liu Xiao looked at her and sighed: “Lan’er, you go back.” Let me kill myself quietly.
Ling Zhilan also sighed: “Your Majesty, I want to return too, but you have to return him to me first.” She pointed at the head of the cell who pressed Liu Xiao back to the bedroom-Ji Shen.
Then, Liu Xiao saw Ji Shen walk behind Ling Zhilan with low eyebrows, Ling Zhilan smiled and fell back into Ji Shen’s arms, acting so proficiently as if he had done this countless times…
