female concubine

The people who had just entered the mansion and hadn't sat down set off for Da Nei again.

In the side hall where the emperor handles government affairs, the king of Chu kneels at the emperor's table.

The emperor put down the memorabilia in his hand, got up slowly, walked up to the King of Chu, looked down coldly and said, "Isn't it terrible that the head falls to the ground?"

King Chu raised his head, his blood red eyes were full of resentment, "Why?"

The emperor bent down and said with a gloomy face: "You are finally willing to reveal your true body!" Then he straightened up, "It's really hard for you, 17 years, even I can't do it!"

The emperor opened his eyes and asked angrily, "What do you want to do, you want to bring down the city of Tokyo, so you can just leave?"

Seeing that the King of Chu was silent, the emperor twitched his face and said viciously: "Your father and I are not old enough to be tricked by our own son, and we don't even know it!"

"Is the result His Majesty wants to be peace on the surface?" King Chu stared at the emperor with rounded eyes, "For this, can Your Majesty even use his own flesh and blood as pawns?"

The emperor turned his back, "I know you have hatred in your heart, and I also know that you are better than your two older brothers, but you are still too young and have not experienced many things."

The emperor put his hands behind his back, looked at the table and sighed: "Do you still remember that poisonous oath that I forced you to swear that day?"

Before the King of Chu could answer, he went on to say, "Because I never believed in ghosts and gods, and neither did I believe in destiny, nor did you, but you were afraid and in awe. That's because," the emperor turned around, "you Do something that scares you yourself!" The emperor took a step closer and said quickly, "Yang Shu died because of you, and those two girls also died because of you!"

"You think you are perfect. You think you can control everything. You even think that you can use me to counter the prince. King Zhao, yes, you are very smart, but King Chu," the emperor glared. , roared loudly: "Your courage is too great!"

"Even I, even I didn't think about it, what did your elder brother do to you, you want to put him to death?"

The king of Chu raised his head and looked at the emperor coldly, "Could it be that your majesty only remembers Han Hanchen's poisonous oath and forgot what the prince did?"

The emperor frowned, "A woman with a foreign surname..."

The king of Chu immediately interrupted the emperor and asked, "In your majesty's eyes, what else is there besides power? In your majesty's eyes, what else can you give up for power?"

"Siblings, wives, or close relatives"

For more than 50 years, no one has ever said such a rebellious word in front of his eyes. The emperor kicked her to the ground in a rage, and roared: "Nie Yi!" Then he leaned over and pulled the king of Chu from the ground, staring at her. Glaring eyes.

What was behind King Chu, the emperor knew very well, and immediately threw it heavily on the ground, stretched out his finger and said: "You dare to speak to your father like that, you dare to speak like that to your king, if you are given another chance, will you just say that?" Want to climb on my head and kill my father and brother?"

The King of Chu struggled to get up from the ground, and said with a cold smile: "So, your majesty, do you want to treat your minister like you did to your second brother?"

"Do you really think that I dare not kill you?" The emperor turned around and drew the iron sword from the rack.

Immediately, he pointed his sword between King Chu's eyebrows, "Who do you think you are?" The emperor frowned and glared viciously.

The king of Chu closed his eyes without any fear, "I am not afraid of death, but my concubine is the daughter of the wife of the county, and I hope that your majesty will hold your hand high!"

The emperor was so angry that he puffed up his cheeks, but there was nothing he could do. Immediately he let out a deep breath, threw the sword to the ground, raised his brows, turned his back, and sighed, "That's all you do, do you hate me?"

The king of Chu opened his eyes and looked at the emperor's back, "Does the minister hate your majesty, or does your majesty hate the minister?"

"You clearly know that there is a Zhongshu behind the crown prince, and you clearly know that there is a palace secretary and the Privy Council behind the king of Zhao. If the two major groups of the court, Chinese and military forces fight, this country..." The emperor turned around, his eyes were red, " Are you right, your surname? Are you right about the tens of millions of people outside the imperial city?"

"Your Majesty is just afraid that the power in his hands will be out of balance. There is no need to use the people to intimidate the ministers!"

The emperor looked at the King of Chu, and thought of himself back then, young and frivolous, "Go back, if I see you making trouble again, even if Duke Longde comes back from the southwest to dissuade you, I will never be soft!"

The emperor approached King Chu, bent down and put his hand on her shoulder, and said coldly: "I won't kill you, not because you are my son, but because your princess won't allow it!"

The emperor stood up, turned around and shouted, "Get lost!"

In the final analysis, the emperor was still afraid of the imbalance of power in his hands. Standing behind Princess Chu was the Xiao Jiang family. The King of Chu collapsed with a cold heart, his eyes were reddish, "The foundation that was built after the three dynasties of the Taizu Taizong and His Majesty , is Your Majesty willing to let it be destroyed in the hands of a mediocre person?"

The emperor put his hands behind his back and said nothing.

The King of Chu knelt down and crawled to his feet, "Could daddy really want to see a mediocre man stepping on his son's head, ascending to that seat, ruining the family business that daddy built, and ruining the Great Song Dynasty? "

The emperor turned around and looked down at her, then squatted down, and said coldly, "What do you want to say?"

Before the king of Chu could speak, the emperor said again: "Do you want to say, let me hand over the country to you, and you will definitely be able to revitalize the family business, reconcile the clan, and create a prosperous world?"

The King of Chu stared and opened his mouth dumb.

The emperor hooked his lips into a shallow smile, patted King Chu's face, leaned into her ear, and said in a low voice: "Then I will answer you now, as long as I am still here, the candidate for the crown prince is absolutely impossible to be you!"

The emperor got up, walked back to his seat with his hands behind his back, looked at the king of Chu who had collapsed on the ground, "When this matter is all over, you don't have to stay in the capital, and you don't need to ask to leave, I will order the court and send you To the frontier!"

The emperor picked up the memorabilia on the table, and when he was about to open it, he raised his head and said: "By the way, the border crossing is a long way away. I heard that Princess Chu is not in good health. She is exhausted. You made a mistake, so I can't let people accompany you." Suffering and suffering, so I will send someone to take her to Da Nei to live with your mother."

King Chu raised his head in astonishment, "Father..."

"I and you, only the monarch and ministers!" The emperor looked at the astonished King of Chu, leaned forward and leaned forward against the edge of the table, and said coldly: "Didn't you always think so in your heart?"

The emperor picked up the memorial and leaned back on the chair, flipped through it and said indifferently: "Of course, I won't be too heartless. There will be a post-book ceremony before the Dragon Boat Festival next month, and it will be troublesome to go back and forth. You can wait until after the Dragon Boat Festival." let's go!"

The four words at the back of the book made the king of Chu startled, the wind in the palace was tense, and the emperor never revealed to others that it turned out that he had used the position of queen to protect the prince. The king of Chu suddenly smiled wryly.

The emperor raised his head not unexpectedly, "Although the time for you to leave has been extended, the edict to be released, I think it over, and I can issue it at any time!"

Once the emperor's edict is issued, it will not be changed. This has been the case with all edicts in the past 20 years. The Imperial Academy's Zhizhigao and the Menxia Province's Gishizhong and Taiwan admonishing officials dare not reject or withdraw them for fear of losing their hats.

"If you want to leave, I will let you go like four years ago, but this time, if you want to come back, I will not let you come back so easily!"

The emperor looked at King Chu's white face full of doubts at the moment, curled his lips and said: "The bitter cold in the frontier is no worse than Sichuan. Enjoy the remaining half month!"

The ferocity revealed in the emperor's eyebrows made the King of Chu bow his head in horror, "I will obey the holy edict!"

Then she slowly got up and walked out of the hall. When she stepped out of the threshold, she almost lost her footing. It was Zhao Ci at the entrance of the hall who supported her. Zhao Ci looked at the bloodstains on the corner of King Chu's mouth, and said with great distress: "Six This is the king?"

After leaving the palace and disappearing from the emperor's sight, King Chu's frightened and stunned face immediately returned to normal, and he stared coldly into the palace.

Zhao Ci looked worried, and whispered: "Your Majesty?"

King Chu just shook his head, "I'm fine, just go back and lie down."

"Oh, it's okay to stand still. The six kings are weak, and your Majesty has been on the battlefield." He immediately blocked dozens of shots.

"Do you need a villain to announce the imperial physician to you?"

The King of Chu shook his head and smiled at Zhao Ci: "Weng Zhao, don't worry about me, His Majesty is fine, it's just that he bit his lip just now."

Zhao Cixu heaved a sigh of shock, and helped her to walk down the steps, "Your Majesty is really, how can you do anything to your own flesh and blood?"

"Half a month ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came out like this. Even the soul was scared away, and the villain didn't say anything when asked, just kept running to the East Palace."

"Next month will be the full year of the crown prince's birth. I don't know if it will be done. His Majesty has not given any definite words. At this time in previous years, all internal and external departments have already started preparations."

The king of Chu stopped and was stunned suddenly, "Is it the prince's birthday..." He turned his head and glanced at the main hall, "It's his usual method to give grace and power, so why not do it for this birthday!"

After finishing speaking, the king of Chu stepped out of the palace quickly.

In the central hall of Chu Palace, Xiao Youqing stood quietly towards the entrance of the courtyard with his hands clasped, his slender eyebrows slightly raised, as if he was worried about something.

There was the sound of carriages and horses at the gate of the palace, and the sound was transmitted inside. When the returning people stepped into the courtyard, Xiao Youqing stepped out from the middle hall, held up her skirt and walked down the stone steps, and walked up to King Chu, with anxious eyes.

"Let my sister worry."

Xiao Youqing stretched out his hand to gently caress the corner of her mouth, and said distressedly: "Can he be so cruel to his own son?"

The King of Chu breathed out softly, "Your sister already knows?"

"Otherwise, are you going to hide it from me again?"

King Chu took a deep breath, approached her and hugged her gently.

Seeing this, the servants and female envoys on both sides retreated from the courtyard with interest.

The King of Chu hugged her and said slowly, "Among our brothers, the most outstanding one is my second brother!"

"Your Majesty's favorite is also my second brother."

As for the Crown Prince and King Zhao, the King of Chu would never talk about them with himself. What outsiders heard about the inner affairs, especially the secrets of the inner palace, were only embellished rumors.

Xiao Youqing stretched out his hand slowly, and inadvertently brushed her right arm, and immediately heard a small bite.

She broke free from her arms and dragged her to the corridor east of the yard.
