On the risks and benefits of falling in love with a prince

He thought again: "If I sue the imperial court, Liu Rui may not believe me. That brat has never believed me. Once I gave him poisonous blood like this. After he woke up, he asked me if I was right for him for a moment. Sincere……"

Zhao Tang stopped.

The long hair is spread out, the secret is clear, and the fear is clearly exposed in the eyes.

11 years ago, he ran into Liu Rui at the night market, and he wanted to send him home with a shameless face.When he met an assassin on the way, he beat the assassin away with great power, and then sucked poisoned blood for Liu Rui.The taste of the poison was exactly the same as today.

Seeing that the blood-sealed throat poison is hard to match and hard to find, if I get one by chance, I will definitely not spread it to the outside world.The one who killed today was Ah Liu, and the one who killed 11 years ago...was also Wang An's subordinate?

Liu Rui respected King An like a god and gave him real power. Why did King An kill Liu Rui?

"Master Zhao..." Chu Yang grabbed Zhao Tang's lapel, tears in his phoenix eyes, and looked at Zhao Tang pitifully.That appearance is exactly the same as Liu Rui.

The same.

Zhao Tang swallowed, and asked, "Chuyang, do you know... who is your father?"

Chu Yang said: "My mother said it was a sailor on the pier, but she didn't know which sailor it was."

Zhao Tang trembled again: "Then your mother...has... brothers and sisters?"

Chu Yang said: "My mother has a little brother, who was poached by the emperor to make elixir before he was born. If the little brother is alive...well... he should be 27 years old."

Gao Han's expression changed: "Young Lord, a sage is a sage who is rare in all ages, you can't just listen to the nonsense of the market and slander the sage like this!"

Chu Yang said: "What nonsense in the market? This is what my mother said."

Gao Han couldn't care about children, he smiled dryly.The soles of Zhao Tang's feet felt weak, and the fear opened his bloody mouth, sucking away the heat from his body.

My mother's younger brother, if alive, would be as old as Liu Rui.That younger brother must have the same appearance as Chu Yang, because of the blood relationship, even if they are separated by thousands of miles, it will definitely show in their physical appearance.

Chuyang also said bitterly: "My mother used to be a young lady, and her family was very rich! Just because the emperor made elixir, her whole family was killed!"

Zhao Tang said: "Stop talking! Such words... can you say nonsense?"

Chu Yang was startled and kept silent.And Zhao Tang pressed his heart, breaking out in a cold sweat: "Eunuch Gao, I want to enter the palace, I have something to tell His Majesty."

Gao Han stamped his feet: "Ancestor! You can't say that! There are many rumors in the market, and the little man is credulous, how can the man believe it?"

Zhao Tang remained silent.The sailors yelled, "Master Zhao, why don't you come back to Citong Bay with us?"

Zhao Tang's eyes were hot: "No, it's just that I still have something to do. After finishing this matter, we will go back to Citong Bay, go to sea together, make money together, and live a lawless life together!"

The sailors suddenly agreed and laughed.Zhao Tang reached into his bosom and pinched the soft purse.

"No matter what you want, I will allow it."

When writing the note, Liu Rui must have been afraid of something.This something is so big that the general took short-sightedness.This something... must have something to do with King An.

Zhao Tang clutched his purse tightly, hugged Chu Yang, and said to the sailors: "Brothers, I'm going first, you have to wait for me."

Upon seeing this, Gao Han immediately arranged a carriage for Zhao Tang and Chu Yang to return to the palace.On the way, Chu Yang's hand started to hurt again, so the carriage went to the imperial hospital first, leaving Chu Yang in the hands of the imperial physician, and Zhao Tang went back to the palace alone.

It was dusk when we arrived at the palace.Liu Rui is still working in the study.Gao Han wanted to take Zhao Tang to the Quefei Hall to wait, but Zhao Tang couldn't wait for a moment, so he forced Gao Han to take Zhao Tang to the study.

There are ministers outside the study.The ministers were not allowed to enter the small courtyard full of pine trees, so they had to wait for summons in another palace outside the courtyard.When Zhao Tang followed Gao Han into the courtyard, those princes and princes in crimson gauze robes and virtuous crowns looked on in amazement.Zhao Tang realized that once he entered, Luoyang would immediately cause rumors all over Luoyang. Everyone would guess who he was, what relationship he had with Liu Rui, and what he said when he entered the study.His history will be thoroughly investigated, his mother, Aunt Liu, and even the unknown father will all be found out.His guests, his old friends, were visited, and every little thing connected with him was told.

This is the Son of Heaven.This is the price of sleeping with the emperor.

Gao Han watched Zhao Tang carefully, and led Zhao Tang into the next room.The sound insulation here is really bad, it was built for eavesdropping.Liu Rui is having a quarrel with the minister.The minister said: "Think twice, Your Majesty, think twice, Your Majesty! The prince has a violent temper, and he is really not a candidate for the crown prince..." Liu Rui said: "Is there any other way?"

The minister said: "The merits of the reform are in the present age, and the benefits will last thousands of years. Your Majesty must not act too hastily."

Liu Ruidao: "I've made up my mind, Aiqing must either submit a letter to support the proposal tomorrow, or never come to the study!"

The minister obediently withdrew.Liu Rui was so angry that he smashed a few porcelain vases, then asked someone to come in to clean them up, and continued to see the minister calmly.What he said was almost the same, asking the other party to submit a letter for second opinion tomorrow, but it was different, for some people, he was gentle and kind, recounting the old friendship between the monarch and his ministers.Some people, with a stern voice, threw a few bullets on the ground and asked the other party to "look for themselves".Some people talk about titles and beauties, while others talk about the drought in the north and the suffering of the people.

Gao Han lowered his head, his forehead covered in cold sweat.Although Zhao Tang didn't understand, but after running around for many years, he could roughly guess that Liu Rui spent all his political capital for a big event in the court tomorrow morning.Zhao Tang couldn't help suspecting that Liu Rui was made of iron. He had a high fever, stayed up all night, and indulged in lust.

The ministers came and went, always incessantly, and Zhao Tang could hardly find a gap to speak.After Liu Rui finally stopped to drink water, Zhao Tang forced Gao Han to report.Gao Han went away trembling, but Liu Rui said, "What is he doing back again?"

Gao Han said: "Mr. Chuyang was assassinated. Mr. Lang thought it was an assassin sent by King An. I'm afraid... came to sue?"

Zhao Tang didn't expect Gao Han to look at him like this, and he was so angry that his seven orifices were smoked.Liu Rui was silent for a long time after listening, and said: "Take him back to the Quefei Palace, what's the matter, I will deal with it tomorrow." Zhao Tang was so anxious that he wanted to slap the wall and shout, but there were all ministers around, so he couldn't move too big.He thought, Liu Rui always has to sleep, so he can go to see the other party before going to bed, and he can speak clearly in just a moment, so that the other party is careful about King An.

But Liu Rui never rested.It was getting dark, and the court lady brought dinner, and Liu Rui talked with Shang Shuling while drinking porridge.Shang Shuling said: "I'm afraid the family will not give in easily..." Liu Rui said quickly: "As long as King An agrees, the family will not be able to make much trouble." Shang Shuling said: "Your Majesty really wants to confer Wang Zijian? , even though... there may not be no hope of healing!"

Liu Rui smiled and said, "It's not like I won't do it."

Shangshu ordered to plead guilty.

"However, Li Yuanshou said that my body is in severe deficit, at least five or six years, at least this year and next year..." Liu Rui laughed again, and sighed, "I can't wait!"

"His Majesty?!"

"Haha, I only tell Aiqing. I have already written a will, and I will make Aiqing assist the government at that time. Aiqing, don't let me die."

"The dragon body is related to the world..."

"The world is too heavy, let Aiqing take the burden, I should rest." Liu Rui said with a smile, "By the way, the five thousand gold will be returned to you in spring."

Shang Shuling choked up: "Your Majesty is only 27 years old! If you take good care of it, you may not be able to..."

Liu Rui smiled and said: "27, it's not short. There are only two things in my life, one is the county exam, and the other is to repay the favor. The second thing has already been smashed, and the first thing can't be wrong again. Aiqing... ...After I leave, my benefactor would like to ask you to take care of him. He is impatient and aggressive, so if you accidentally offend someone, you must remember to favor him."

Shang Shuling knelt down to receive the decree.Liu Rui chatted a few more gossips with him, and finally said: "Okay, Aiqing has been with me for a long time, and it's time to go home to accompany my wife. Come, change clothes and prepare the car."

Shang Shuling immediately knelt down on the ground: "I wish your majesty a victory and a great victory!"

Liu Rui nodded with a smile.Hearing the rustling sound of getting dressed, Zhao Tang asked Gao Han, "Is he going out?"

Gao Han said: "I'm going to Prince An's Mansion. King An is hosting a banquet for His Majesty today, and many families are also going..."

Zhao Tang's heart tightened, realizing that something was wrong.Ah Liu attempted to assassinate Chuyang, and the officials saw him walking into the study again—if King An knew about these two things, King An would definitely act first!

"I want to see His Majesty, right now! He can't go to Prince An's Mansion!" Zhao Tang said.

Gao Han raised his head, looked directly at Zhao Tang for the first time, and frowned: "Mr. Zhao, you can live in peace for a while, this is the emperor's study, where everyone in the world is watching. How can your majesty behave like this when you shout like this? "

Gao Han actually looked at himself like this.The people around Liu Rui, Wang An, and the ministers also see him in the same way?

Zhao Tang couldn't help but retreat, wanting to say that he was not making trouble out of reason, and he and Liu Rui were not in the relationship that everyone thought.But no one here believes it.He gritted his teeth and ran out, shouting, "Liu Rui!"

As soon as Liu Rui left the courtyard, he turned his head in astonishment, and saw Zhao Tang for sure.
