Just when the assassin's dagger was about to pierce Xuanyuan Jin's chest, a long sword from behind directly pierced the assassin's chest.

The dagger in the assassin's hand fell and he looked back. When he saw that the person who killed him was Xuanyuan Wen, a self-deprecating and bitter smile appeared on his lips.

The assassin is none other than Feng Wanrou.

She was obsessed with marrying the prince and becoming the princess, so that her mother would be the best in the world. However, she only became the princess for one day, and then the prince was deposed and became a commoner. Although she escaped death because she married the prince, the Feng family was destroyed.

After her family was wiped out, all her family members were gone. She was also harmed by Xuanyuan Jin and Bai Jiujiu and lost her innocence. There was nothing in her life except hatred.

So she had been thinking about how to kill Bai Jiujiu. She was well protected in the palace and she couldn't kill her. She waited for so many days and finally waited until she came out of the palace. She was determined to kill her.

He wanted to marry her, but she didn't expect that she failed in the end and was killed by the man she loved most.

Her life is really ridiculous.

Xuanyuan Wen looked at her with no trace of guilt or reluctance in his heart.

He knew everything Feng Wanrou did to Jiujiu. She almost destroyed Jiujiu. If Xuanyuanjin hadn't died, Jiujiu would have been destroyed that night, so she really deserved to die.

So what if he is accused of killing his wife? It is a shame for him to have such a wife.

Every time there was danger in the past, as long as Xuanyuan Jin was around, he was always a step late. This time, he was no longer late and finally helped her block the danger.

"I, hate, you -" Feng Wanrou left these three words and fell down, ending her short life.

Seeing Feng Wanrou die in front of her, Bai Jiujiu felt no guilt in her heart. She brought it upon herself and no one else was to blame.

"Drag it away." Luo Feng ordered, and two guards immediately came up and dragged Feng Wanrou's body away.

Xuanyuan Wen remained calm and followed the coffin away.

Bai Jiujiu looked at the tall body standing in front of him, his nose was sore.

Even though she said such cruel words to him, he still instinctively came to save her in times of danger.

After everyone left, Bai Jiujiu looked at Xuanyuan Jin and said, "You are the king of a country now. Your safety is more important than anything else. Don't ignore your own safety in the future."

The man looked at her, his tone as cold as ice: "You think she can hurt me, I just don't want to cause another bloody disaster and collide with my father's coffin."

After saying this, he turned around and left indifferently.

Bai Jiujiu pouted and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't Feng Wanrou's death also a bloody disaster? Aren't you afraid of hitting the late emperor's coffin?"

He quickly chased after him and asked: "Xuanyuan Jin, no, Your Majesty, when will the marriage be announced to the public? It's not convenient for me to live in the palace all the time."

"Waiting." After leaving these two words, the man strode away.

Bai Jiujiu was a little discouraged. How long will it take?

Half a month later, the emperor's coffin was successfully delivered to the imperial mausoleum, and everything settled. Next came the grand enthronement ceremony and the conferment ceremony.

Although the new emperor has been on the throne for a month, the enthronement ceremony has not been held because the previous emperor passed away and he was busy with the funeral of the previous emperor.

Now let Qin Tianjian calculate the auspicious time, and seven days later is the best time, so the enthronement ceremony and the empress conferment ceremony were placed seven days later.

However, the emperor has not announced to the public who he will be named empress.

So everyone secretly began to speculate, and some people speculated that it was Princess Duan. After all, she was the official wife, the direct daughter of the Bai family, and the apple of their eye. Although it was rumored that her conduct was not good, her status was noble and she should be named queen.

But her marriage to His Royal Highness Duan Wang was forced. I wonder if the emperor has any grudge in his heart. If he does, then the position of the queen may be in doubt.

Some people also speculated that it would be the concubine Yun Xiran. Although she was a concubine, she was born in a prince's palace and was the niece of the Queen Mother. She was deeply loved by the Queen Mother and should be named queen.

So everyone from the palace to the common people began to bet privately on whether Princess Duan or the concubine would become the queen, which became a hot topic.

Of course, there is a third voice, which only accounts for a very small part, that is, these two people have no chance to become queens, and another queen will be appointed or there will be no queen for the time being.

Bai Jiujiu heard about this, how could he let go of such a good opportunity to make a fortune!

After all, if they knew the inside story, they would definitely win the bet and make a lot of money, so they asked Qingyao and Ban Yue to take all the silver to bet.

And let Qingyao take the silver and go to the palace to keep it.

She heard that Sister Feng entered the palace today. Although she had said that at the beginning, asking Sister Feng to be his queen, now it seemed that her words might come true. Otherwise, why would Sister Feng come to the palace at this critical moment?

imperial study room

Luo Feng reported that Miss Feng asked for a meeting, and after receiving Xuanyuan Jin's permission, Luo Feng took Feng Qingxue to the imperial study.

Xuanyuan Jin sat in front of the dragon case with a strong aura, majesty and indifference.

Feng Qingxue saluted: "See you, Your Majesty."

After Xuanyuan Jin dismissed the palace attendant, he looked at her and asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"

There was a smile in Feng Qingxue's eyes and she said: "The daughter of the people came to ask how the emperor is thinking. I heard that the emperor will hold a ceremony for the conferment of the queen in seven days. Has the candidate for the queen been decided?"

"I have already thought about it, and the queen has been chosen." The man said with certainty.

"Really, did the emperor tell me that she is a commoner's daughter?" Feng Qingxue still asked with a smile.

"It's absolutely impossible for you." Xuanyuan Jin said firmly to prevent her from harboring any further illusions.

"Why is the emperor so heartless? We have known each other for so long. I have been helping you develop antidotes and regulate your body. There is no merit but hard work. Why should people be so embarrassed? I am your queen for your sake.

Your body needs a doctor by your side to take good care of it." Feng Qingxue discussed with him in a good-tempered manner without getting angry or annoyed.

"Feng Qingxue, we have known each other for so many years, please don't force me to fall out with you. Apart from this request, I can satisfy you with any request you make." Xuanyuan Jin didn't want to be someone who burns bridges, but her request was too much and it was absolutely impossible.

.

"Okay, since you are unwilling to make me your queen, and I won't force you, then I ask you not to make Bai Jiujiu your queen, can you agree?" Feng Qingxue changed his request. This way we can know who he wants to make his queen.

.

"It's not your turn to dictate who I will appoint as my queen. If you have nothing else, please go back!" Xuanyuan Jin's face darkened.

Feng Qingxue asked without giving up: "You want to make Bai Jiujiu your queen? Do you know that she doesn't want to be your queen at all? She wants to live a free life, and he doesn't want to be imprisoned by you in this small place."

"Luo Feng, send Miss Feng back." Xuanyuan Jin directly issued an eviction order.

"You will regret it." Feng Qingxue left after leaving these words.

Xuanyuan Jin frowned slightly and slowly clenched his hands into fists.

Bai Jiujiu has been living leisurely and contentedly in the palace these past few days. Although she has not seen Xuanyuan Jin, she feels extremely comfortable thinking that she will make a lot of money as soon as the Queen's Standing Ceremony is over.

But Ban Yue was crying every day, almost pushing the master to the emperor to ask whether he would make the empress his queen.

"Empress, why are you not anxious at all? What if the emperor really doesn't make you his queen?" Ban Yue was really anxious.

Bai Jiujiu took the snack and tasted it deliciously, and said disapprovingly: "I will make a profit if I don't do it! Whether I can be the queen depends on God's will. If I don't have this destiny, why should I force it? Normal heart, normal heart."

"But you are the emperor's head wife. It would be a shame if I didn't make you his queen!" Ban Yue felt aggrieved for the young lady.

"There's nothing shameful about it. If you care too much about other people's opinions, you won't be able to be yourself.

If I gain or lose my life, just let it go." Bai Jiujiu had already figured out that even if he couldn't be with Xuanyuan Jin, as long as he knew that everything was fine with him.

"Your Majesty still has this fate." As soon as Bai Jiujiu finished speaking, he saw Eunuch Li coming in. Behind him were a group of palace maids and eunuchs, as well as Su Lan, the aunt who had been with the queen before, but she was the person sent by the late emperor to stay with the queen.

Now that the late emperor is dead, the two of them continue to be loyal to the new emperor.

"Eunuch Li, why are you here?" Bai Jiujiu greeted him warmly, glanced at the scene behind him and asked, "What are you doing?" Suddenly, he felt a bad premonition in his heart.

Eunuch Li said with a smile on his face: "Today is the ceremony for enthroning the queen. When the emperor's enthronement ceremony is over, the empress will go over. The emperor will grant you the Phoenix Seal and hold a grand ceremony for you."

"Queen? What do you mean? Xuanyuan Jin, no, the emperor wants to make me queen?"

"Exactly, the imperial edict has been issued, and you are now the empress. I am here to give you the phoenix robe and crown. The empress should try it quickly to see if it is suitable. If it is not suitable, there is still time to change it." Li

The father-in-law had a gentle and friendly smile on his face. He felt that the emperor and the empress were a perfect match.

Bai Jiujiu felt bad. Why didn't this guy act according to common sense?

"Where is the emperor now? I want to see him?"

"In the dormitory, the coronation ceremony will be held soon. If the empress wants to see the emperor, she will see you at the conferment ceremony." Eunuch Li thought Bai Jiujiu was going to thank him.
