"Oh!"

Li Xiushu laughed coldly, "There shouldn't be many people left in the Western Xia royal family in the old land, and they are not from the blood of the direct royal family. Although this palace has been deep in the Yuan Palace over the years, I have heard that these guys flattered the Yuan court officials in the old land, and are more loyal and honest than the dogs they raised at home. I am afraid that Kublai Khan will also take them to the palace, and even willing to change his name and make our Western Xia royal family lose face. These people, the Grand Tutor Zhongsun also intends to support them?"

Zhongsun Qifu remained silent.

Li Xiushu sat back on the bed, "According to my thoughts, if these people were really useful, and if they were in the eyes of your Taifu, you would not have been showing off for so many years. You would rather work hard to hide your head than announce the restoration. If these people were letting them be the emperor, Xixia would not be prosperous. When Zhongsun Taifu, you will die, and you will become a puppet of those families. Even if Xixia does not perish, you will no longer be surnamed Li."

"But……"

Zhongsun Qifu sighed: "Someone must ascend to the Great Treasure, otherwise, Xixia will be in chaos."

The light in the room was shining on Li Wangyuan's face, and it was still dim.

Li Xiushu narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Zhongsun Qifu, "Does the Grand Tutor really want me to make the words clear?"

Zhongsun Qifu raised his head.

There was no trace of weakness in Li Xiushu's eyes, only noble, domineering, and cold. "In this Xixia, only this palace can continue to prolong this time!"

Zhongsun Qifu was not surprised.

Of course he was pretending to be stupid just now. Before, many of Li Xiushu's words had already revealed the meaning of fighting for power. He could hear it.

And he never took over, so he naturally had doubts in his heart.

Now that Li Xiushu made the words clear, he no longer hid his thoughts and said softly: "Your Highness the Princess can keep a low profile. You can be far better than those who cannot be helped in the country, and you can also be better than the emperor, but... you are a princess after all, the body of a daughter."

Li Xiushu didn't show any surprise, but just sneered, "Is the ancient method important? Or is the country in Xixia more important?"

"this……"

Zhongsun Qifu was slightly stunned, with a look of hesitation in his eyes.

According to ancient methods, princesses naturally could not be called emperor. However, judging from the current situation, there were really no royal people in the Western Xia who could support them.

Over the years, Zhongsun Qifu has longed for Li Wangyuan to return to China, and has also paid close attention to those people.

Li Xiushu said nothing wrong. Those guys with royal blood are weak and incompetent people. Supporting them, Xixia will never last long.

If Li Xiushu was a man, at this moment, Zhongsun Qifu felt that he would have knelt on the ground without hesitation and be loyal to him.

Li Xiushu looked at Zhongsun Qifu with her eyes, meaningful and said: "Since ancient times, women cannot be called emperors, but Zhongsun Taifu thought that what about Wu Zhao, who inherited the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty and opened the prosperous era of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Wu Zhao, the Tang Dynasty Wu Meiniang.

Zhongsun Qifu hesitated for a long time, but finally told the truth, "The legendary emperor is better than countless men in the world."

Li Xiushu asked: "What if Zhongsun Grand Tutor thinks I, Li Xiushu?"

Zhongsun Qifu looked directly at Li Xiushu for a few seconds and replied: "Better than countless royal men in China."

"in this way……"

Li Xiushu's eyes flashed, "Can the Grand Tutor Zhongsun be willing to help this palace ascend the throne and become emperor?"

She looked sincere and suddenly knelt down on the ground, "I don't want to be alone, but only for the thousands of subjects of Xixia to avenge my brother. I ask Zhongsun Taifu to give me this opportunity! If I can't lead Xixia to glory, I can't suppress the ministers in the country, and I am willing to abdicate Yu Zhongsun Taifu, let your Zhongsun family become the Western Xia royal family!"

The last sentence was like a blow, but it hit Zhongsun Qifu's heart.

He knew that Li Xiushu was just a statement of determination.

If he, Zhongsun Qifu, intending to be emperor, with his current prestige in Xixia, it would be a little troublesome, but it would be impossible?

However, he never dared to have such an idea in his heart.

Zhongsun's family received great kindness from the late Emperor Xixia. He, Zhongsun Qifu, will devote all his life to Xixia.

This Emperor Li Wangyuan, the Grand Tutor of the Western Xia Dynasty, finally fell to the ground, "The old minister is willing to help the princess ascend the throne with all his might."

It is true that Li Xiushu is a woman, but this cunning, strategy, and sincerity are enough to impress him.

Maybe after His Royal Highness the Princess became emperor, he could really make the Western Xia prosperous era like Wu Zhao of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xiushu mixed up with Zhongsun Qifu again, and tears flowed out of her eyes, "I thank the Grand Tutor Zhongsun for the people of the world."

"The old minister dare not."

Zhongsun Qifu showed a hint of humility on his face, "With the talent of a princess, ascending the throne and becoming emperor is a blessing in the world. But... the prominent families in the country..."

It is true that he has a high position and power, but Xixia is not his only one-man show.

Li Xiushu's expression was indifferent, "As long as the Grand Tutor Zhongsun can convince the other old ministers to help the palace ascend the throne, those people will not be troubled."

Zhongsun Qifu was slightly surprised, and at this moment, he felt that Li Xiushu was extraordinary.

In this way, even he dare not say it because he is not sure.

After a few seconds of silence, Zhongsun Qifu said: "The old minister will go back and talk to his colleagues."

"Um."

Li Xiushu nodded slightly, "No need to delay, I hope that I can get allegiance from all the old ministers before the news of my brother's death comes out."

"yes……"

Zhongsun Qifu agreed softly and retreated outside the house.

The pace is a little easier than before.

He really saw hope in Li Xiushu. Even Li Wangyuan, who was well-off before, had never made such hope in his heart.

The emperor's scheming, scheming and decisiveness are far from the princess.

The door of the house was slowly closed again.

Only Lee Soo-sook is left in the house.

She sat back on the bed, and then she said she would stop her tears. She stopped touching Li Wangyuan's cheek and murmured softly: "Brother, you really disappointed me..."

There was a look of pain on her face, but there was a hint of hatred in vaguely.

After the news that the Western Xia master stabbed Zhao Bing reached Zhao Dongting's ears, Zhao Dongting immediately went to see Li Xiushu.

As soon as we met, Zhao Dongting said, "Your brother sent someone to hijack my younger brother, I'm afraid he doesn't want to use Kuizhou Road to exchange you back."

At that time, Li Xiushu, who had deep hope for this, felt that the whole sky had collapsed.

She asked, "Failed?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Of course it failed. But your brother is pretty good. At least he wants to use this method to exchange for you back, but he doesn't really ignore you."

Li Xiushu lowered her head and said nothing.

They were all replaced by her, but the difference between them was worth pondering for Kuizhou and the hijacking King Zhao Bing.

It turns out that in my brother's heart, she is not as good as that of Kuizhou Road.

Since the hijacking failed, my brother probably won’t think about changing himself back, right?

Is this considered the end of benevolence and righteousness?

At that time, Li Xiushu really couldn't believe that her close relatives would treat her like this.

It was also at such a moment that she finally understood that everything had to depend on herself.

Since then, Li Xiushu's face has no longer had any weakness, only coldness. Even if she has weak moments, she is still pretending.

...

"If you lose Kuizhou, you can get it again. But if you don't have me, you will really lose me..."

Li Xiushu kept murmuring to herself, "At that time, I wanted to die, and I wanted to make you suffer and feel pain, and I regret it, but then I thought, since you can't bear to exchange Kuizhou for me, then I'm really dead, and maybe it may not make you feel heartbroken, so I decided to live. I thought to myself, if I had the chance to come back to you, I would beat you, the new emperor of Xixia first, and then die."

"Ha, now I'm back, earlier than I thought. But you're dead, earlier than I thought."

"Brother, is the imperial power really so attractive? Can the world really make you abandon me like a piece of grass?"

"But how did you change your mind later? Or did you exchange Kuizhou for me? Do you find your conscience?"

"You took care of me in the palace before, but my sister won't care about you about the previous things. If you change me back, I will do something for you. If you want this imperial power, I will ascend the treasure for you. If you want this world, I will win the world for you. I will fulfill your unfulfilled wishes for you. Whoever harms you will be able to repay you thousands of times!"

That night, the emperor's teacher Zhongsun Qifu called many old ministers to the room and discussed it until late at night.

Then, a group of old ministers went to Li Wangyuan's bedroom at night, knelt in front of Li Xiushu, and swore allegiance.
