I am the emperor in Nanyang, I am the ultimate winner

Chapter 14: Seeing the Little Emperor's True Identity

Not long after, Qin Ruihua returned to his residence and called several officers.

Qin Ruihua asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What do you think is going on?"

"I have no idea what the little emperor was thinking. Why would he suddenly abdicate and let me inherit the throne?"

Zhao Xuannan, the commander of the newly formed division, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Marshal."

"He is about to ascend the throne and become emperor. Now that the emperor has taken the initiative to give up the throne, it must be a good thing for the marshal."

Huang Zekai, the commander of the newly formed third division, frowned and responded, "Report to the Marshal."

"I think the little emperor should realize that we will take action against him sooner or later."

"That's why he chose to abdicate. But should we still take action against the little emperor?"

"After all, only by cutting the roots can we eliminate future troubles!"

Qin Ruihua thought for a moment and said, "Since the young emperor has announced his abdication, let's let him go for now."

"This will also leave us with a good reputation, and the people won't have too many objections then."

"But..." Qin Ruihua's face turned gloomy when he said this. "The little emperor asked me to meet him tonight. If he has bad intentions, that will be his death."

The head of the Guards, Chen Yixin, stood up at this time: "Marshal, please rest assured that the entire palace has been firmly under our control."

"There are no other armed forces in the palace except for those powerless eunuchs and palace maids."

"We have also conducted a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the palace to ensure that there are absolutely no dangerous weapons such as guns in the palace."

Sun Yichen, the second commander of the new division, then said: "But Marshal, you should be more careful!"

"After all, no one can be sure what the little emperor is up to."

Qin Ruihua nodded slightly, indicating that he understood this principle.

He pondered in his heart that the little emperor's thoughts were really hard to fathom.

But no matter what, he must be fully prepared to deal with it.

He then responded: "I am very clear about this."

"The most important task at present is to continue recruiting soldiers and replenish the force to the size of ten divisions as soon as possible."

"When I officially ascend the throne and become emperor, a large-scale purge will be launched across the country."

"These ministers have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. It's time to add their property to the national treasury."

Everyone responded in unison: "Marshal is wise!"

Qin Ruihua nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "So, how is your plan to encircle and suppress armed forces in various places going?"

"Report to the Marshal, we have begun to divide our forces to encircle and suppress the armed forces in various places, and the progress is smooth."

"It is expected that all armed forces can be completely eliminated within half a year." Sun Yichen, the second commander of the newly formed division, replied.

Qin Ruihua smiled and said appreciatively: "Very good, well done! Go down and prepare well."

Everyone bowed and left, each going about their own business.

At exactly eight o'clock in the evening, Qin Ruihua led the guard platoon to arrive at the palace again.

Before long, they arrived at the door of the little emperor's bedroom.

Just as Qin Ruihua was about to enter, a eunuch blocked his way and saluted, saying, "Meet the Regent! His Majesty has ordered that only the Regent is allowed to enter."

"In addition, His Majesty specifically instructed that if the Regent felt fearful, he could return."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan, as the guard platoon leader, immediately rushed towards the eunuch and slapped him twice, making a crisp sound: "Pa pa."

Then he shouted angrily: "Get out of here immediately!"

At this time, Qin Ruihua raised his hand to stop Lin Xuan: "Platoon Leader Lin, there is no need to be angry, they are just following orders."

"Yes, Marshal." Lin Xuan replied and retreated to his original position.

Qin Ruihua then ordered: "You wait here, I will go in alone to meet the little emperor and see what he wants to do."

"Marshal, you absolutely cannot do that! What if this little emperor takes the opportunity to attack you?"

"Don't worry, just wait outside the door. If anything happens to me, I will order the entire royal family to be exterminated."

"Yes, Marshal." Everyone responded in unison.

At this moment, Qin Ruihua gently pushed open the door and walked in slowly alone.

I saw a woman in the room sitting in front of a dressing table, dressing herself carefully.

Through the bright mirror, the woman's face can be seen clearly.

Her appearance is so stunning that it is breathtakingly beautiful.

She is tall and has a well-proportioned figure, with curves that are right where they should be and curves that should be right where they should be.

She is simply a beauty gifted by God to the world.

However, Qin Ruihua felt that this face seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

So where did the little emperor go?

There was no one else coming in or out of this room. Could it be that the little emperor was hiding?

Or did he deliberately send such a beautiful woman to please me?

Just as Qin Ruihua was lost in thought, the woman who was dressing up suddenly said, "Prince Regent, don't you remember me?"

Qin Ruihua widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "You...you are the little emperor?"

The woman smiled and replied softly, "As you can see."

Qin Ruihua frowned and asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, why do you want to dress up as a man?"

The little emperor sighed softly, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "Of course I have my own difficulties."

"My father longed to have a son all his life, but unfortunately, the seven or eight children he gave birth to were all girls."

"In the end, he had no choice but to let me dress as a man and enthrone me as the crown prince to continue our family's imperial lineage."

Qin Ruihua then remembered that no wonder the little emperor looked so effeminate and like a woman to him. It turned out that he was a woman dressed as a man.

Finally, he continued to ask the little emperor: "I wonder what your Majesty's plan is for showing his true face today?"

"Prince Regent, my real name is Xiao Zixuan. I will wait for you to ascend the throne and be crowned emperor."

"I'm afraid they won't let me go, so I'll show my true face to everyone. As a woman, I know I can't keep the throne."

"At the same time, I want someone to rely on. I am willing to be your wife."

"But the first boy we give birth to in the future must be the crown prince."

"In this way, our Xiao family's dynasty can be considered to continue."

Hearing Xiao Zixuan's straightforward words, Qin Ruihua looked at her in surprise.

He didn't expect that the little emperor would make such a request, and a ripple appeared in his heart.

However, he did not respond immediately, but stared at her quietly, trying to read more information from her eyes.

Xiao Zixuan was a little flustered by Qin Ruihua's gaze, but she still said firmly: "Regent, this is the only solution I can think of."

"If you agree, I will become your wife and support you wholeheartedly."

"And in exchange, I hope you can let our child inherit the throne and continue the bloodline of the Xiao family."

Qin Ruihua narrowed his eyes slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He slowly said, "Your Majesty really has a good plan. You want to seduce me with your beauty?"

His tone was somewhat teasing and joking.

Xiao Zixuan blushed slightly, bit her lip and said, "I don't want to seduce you with my beauty, I just sincerely want to marry you."

"Although I am a woman, I also know the cruelty of political struggle."

"If I can't find a reliable partner, my fate will be very miserable."

"So, please, Prince Regent, carefully consider my proposal!"

After saying that, she looked at Qin Ruihua nervously, waiting for his answer.
