cold hearted son-in-law

The emperor died before he even had time to leave a last word. Chu Yunxi looked at the empty hall and bandaged himself to stop the bleeding. Perhaps the poison of the Tai Chi pill was too overbearing. She was dizzy but still had to think about what to do now?Although he was sure that he could escape safely, Chu Yunxi never thought of running away!The princes in the palace are still young, and it is difficult to control the crowd. The princes and generals who have some skills have been sent out by the emperor, and the prince and princess are in danger. Now that the news of the emperor's death is spreading, I don't know how many people have thought about it. What will happen to the South!She has to figure out a way to control the current situation!But now that she is weak and weak, what can she do to quickly send troops to save people?What method will be used to cover up the news of the emperor's death?

Chu Yunxi didn't think for long, and then she started to act. She used the disguise technique to switch the faces of the two, wiped off the blood on the ground with her clothes, and then hid the six corpses in the secret room, and Inside, countless gold, silver and jewels brought out from the capital were found. The sealed wooden boxes were stacked on two floors, filled with small secret rooms, and the Taoist decree was found in the secret room. Chu Yunxi unfolded it and read it. Laughed coldly, Crown Prince Huangfu Chengqian and Wu Wang Huangfu Ze fought back and forth, the last one died, the other was demoted to common people, and the throne passed to the youngest seventh son Huangfu Han.

When he thought of the seventh son of the emperor who was only two years old, and the minister Gu Ming was the aged Prime Minister Qin, Chu Yunxi was amazed in his heart. The emperor didn't know what he was thinking. He wanted to suppress the Qin family at the same time, and at the same time reused the Qin family. The current situation is chaotic. If the eldest son is not established, the youngest should be established, but if his body is well maintained, it can be delayed for another two or three years. Maybe before the time of passing on the throne, Mrs. Hua's army will come and destroy him.

Chu Yunxi couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, so he didn't think too much about it. After carefully closing the secret room, he turned around and came out.Wearing the face of the emperor, Chu Yunxi, who was wearing a dragon robe and a stiff face, stood by the bed, looked at the dead body on the bed, sneered, moved him to the ground, and found a piece similar to the one he had when he entered the palace. He changed into the casual clothes in the green shirt, and knelt down to the side in a kneeling posture with his head bowed.The hall was silent, as if nothing had happened, and everything returned to the original.

Chu Yunxi wrote the imperial decree and sealed it with a jade seal. The imperial decree was to quickly dispatch the border guards to rescue the prince. Chu Yunxi didn't know what it was like to hear the emperor's words, but she didn't want the eldest princess to die like this Yes, she sincerely hoped that there would be no rush to send troops to rescue them now.After the imperial decree was written, he wrote a secret letter with his own seal, which was addressed to King Wu Huangfuze, and asked him to bring his troops back to Beijing as soon as possible.

After everything was prepared, Chu Yunxi lay on the bed in a golden robe, and put down the second layer of tents, and then summoned everyone outside the hall in batches.Forced by the situation, some things had to be done, and it was a trick. After the bloody killing and enragement, all the things that happened in the Jingxin Hall were covered up, and the emperor's close people were killed, imprisoned or silenced whether they knew about it or not.The commanders of the Forbidden Army and the Royal Forest Army also exchanged positions. Chu Yunxi even sent his own soldiers to monitor the Qin family and the one-party officials who were vassals of Prime Minister Qin, just in case.

Because it is the name of the emperor, Chu Yunxi has no scruples. After confirming the replacement of the people around him and ensuring his own safety, the officials and even the emperor's relatives will closely monitor him to prevent any news from leaking out. .Because the troops in the palace were weak, they used the gold and silver in the secret room to recruit soldiers and recruit virtuous people.Chu Yunxi cheated and changed positions, pretending to be the emperor, staying in the meditation hall for several days, remotely controlling the soldiers and officials, stabilizing and controlling the situation.

But after waiting anxiously for nine days, it was Li Mo who came back, and Wu Wang Huangfuze has not sent back the news, and Chu Yunxi has ordered tens of thousands of soldiers to send out to every city along the way to the palace. Every town and village was searched, but no good news came back.

Li Mo, who had returned from the previous emperor Fuze, saw Chu Yunxi in the Jingxin Hall of the palace, and after looking at Chu Yunxi, he smiled meaningfully.

"My subject, Li Mo, has seen the emperor." Li Mo said while laughing, looking at Chu Yunxi, without saluting, with his armor still on, he walked in in a busy manner.

"Why did the general come back suddenly? Could it be that after the army arrived, it was brave and invincible and defeated the rebels? The prince and princess have both returned?" Chu Yunxi sat on the bed, looked at Li Mo with a half-smile and asked.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, carefully inspected his face, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I am a step late. The crown prince was defeated and died for the country. I have brought back the body, but the eldest princess is missing and her whereabouts are unknown. The minister came back to plead guilty in person, and I hope that I can take the blame and make meritorious service, and help the emperor solve the trouble." After speaking, he looked at the corpse that had been kneeling all the time, and saw the corpse spot on the exposed neck, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes .

Chu Yunxi saw that Li Mo didn't speak, and glanced at the eunuchs in the outer hall who were bowing and waiting for orders, and with a wave of his hand, they all retreated.His Highness was empty again, only the two of them were left, plus a corpse. Chu Yunxi asked, "Help me? How can I believe that you are sincerely helping me?"

Hearing this, Li Mo smiled confidently, and said in a soft but stern tone, "I have already investigated the bloody case of the Chu family in Huzhou for you. Prime Minister Qin of the Qin family is the mastermind behind it. The matter of Jiedushi was hand-picked by the emperor's decree, not recommended by the officials in the court, and the emperor attached great importance to Lord Chu, so the narrow-minded Prime Minister Qin sent killers to kill Lord Chu, which led to this incident. A tragedy happened. I will immediately send someone to arrest the murderer, raid the Qin family, take the whole family into custody, torture the accomplices and accomplices, reveal the truth to the public, and return justice to the Chu family. Yunxi, what do you think?"

The corners of Chu Yunxi's mouth twitched, but he didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Li Mo carefully, and saw that he was wearing a chilling armor. Although his sword eyebrows were heroic, it was a pity that the brows were narrow, and his eagle nose and eyes were slanted. According to his appearance, he had a heart Narrow-minded, deep-minded, evil-minded villain.Chu Yunxi suddenly thought of the word "The Eagle Watches the Wolf Gu", and his heart became happy.This Li Mo planned him seven years before Jianwen, and now he is astonishing in his moves, he is as cold and sharp as an eagle, and he is as cunning and vicious as a wolf when he turns around.

As for how Li Mo knew Chu Yunxi's identity so quickly?Chu Yunxi was not too surprised, nor did he think about whether his disguise technique would deceive the apprentice of the evil doctor, but the name Wuxiang has always been a mysterious existence, and Chu Yunxi could not guess the depth of his medical skills.Although she had always been wary of him, but now that he came back before King Wu, if Chu Yunxi broke face with him, it would be disadvantageous.Judging from Li Mo's prudence, the palace must have not been dealt with cleanly, and there were people who were placed or sold by him, so that he could get definite news, so he would defy the order and bring troops back overnight.Also, the news that the crown prince died in battle and the eldest princess disappeared had spread quickly. Before Li Mo returned to Beijing to plead guilty, Chu Yunxi had already got the news and sent people to search everywhere. The most important thing at the moment is Whether Huangfuze can lead the troops back safely.Now that the prince is gone, the Qin family that has been attached to the prince will definitely find another prince to attach to, and this prince will not be Huangfuze, so Chu Yunxi is indeed going to attack the Qin family, but Chu Yunxi is on guard in his heart After Li Mo got rid of the Qin family and stood on his own, he couldn't help but weigh in his mind. He wanted Li Mo and Prime Minister Qin to fight first, and then push Huangfuze to the throne, and Chu Yunxi would not show the imperial decree of the emperor.

Chu Yunxi looked at Li Mo and said slowly: "Prime Minister Qin is the head of all officials, and his tree has deep roots. Although he has done something stupid, he must be handled carefully. Put him in prison first, and don't implicate his family."

Unexpectedly, Li Mo laughed out loud after hearing what Chu Yunxi said, and asked, "You don't want to take the opportunity to kill Qin Jue?"

"Why should I kill him? Besides, Li Mo, you don't seem to have any grudges against him, right? Although Qin Jue is a wealthy son, he is neither a dandy nor has he done any evil. Moreover, he was quite talented when he was an official. I have done a few good deeds, except for the matter to the eldest princess, they can be regarded as usable talents." Chu Yunxi said lightly without smiling.

"It's a pity that he was born at an untimely time, and he didn't know what to do. Earlier, because of jealousy, he wanted to kill you. You can't keep this person! Why are you hesitating, Yunxi? I ​​didn't see that you have such a benevolent heart before? Li Mo shook his head and sighed with a smile, but looked at Chu Yunxi with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

Chu Yunxi's expression was a little embarrassing, she thought that she was really not a benevolent person, these words were true and false, but just words, she just didn't want Li Mo to seize the power of the Qin family, and no one would suppress him then, but now It has been seen by Li Mo that the two of them will either form an alliance or become an enemy.

But it is obvious that Li Mo did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Chu Yunxi and said seriously: "Yunxi, after all, I have known you for the longest time, and I am the one who helps you every time. When do you hurt me?" Have you?" After finishing speaking, Chu Yunxi seemed to have remembered the past, and then said: "In troubled times, you can be king if you have soldiers, so the Qin family is not the same as us, so what are you doing here? Don't worry, I promise to deal with this matter cleanly. I will take care of anything in the future, and now you have the final say on everything. What are you afraid of? Even if you don't wear this skin, you still want to learn from Mrs. Nahua , then I, Li Mo, will also be the first to support."

Chu Yunxi looked at him, noncommittal to his words.It took a long time before I got up and went to the table, took a cinnabar pen to write the imperial decree, printed the jade seal, handed it to Li Mo, and said: "I believe you, but I have no heart for an emperor. Prime Minister Qin must be careful, don't make any mistakes." You don’t have to take care of the trouble yourself.” After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, he looked at the kneeling corpse, and said, “There is no impenetrable wall in this world, and it’s hot, this corpse is going to stink. , we must deal with it quickly. There is still the prince's body, there are too many things. This July will be difficult."

"Are you going to announce the death of the emperor and the prince right now? There is also the eldest princess. There is no news about her from Mrs. Hua's side. She should have escaped, but why didn't she come back?" Li Mo asked, with no expression on his face, as if Just ask casually.

Chu Yunxi's hand holding the pen paused before continuing to write. He didn't mention the eldest princess, and didn't look at Li Mo. He just said word by word: "It will be recorded in the history books: Jianwen 12th July 22th On July [-], General Li Mo brought the prince's body back to the palace to face the saint. The emperor was heartbroken when he heard the news, his condition was critical, and the treatment was ineffective, and he died in the Jingxin Hall of Nanxing Palace , the son-in-law Chu Yunxi and the general Li Mo respected his will, and Fengwu Wang Huangfuze inherited the throne."

Li Mo's expression froze, and he was dissatisfied with Chu Yunxi for dragging himself into it, so he said, "Look at this corpse spot, I don't know how long I've been dead!"

"July [-]." Chu Yunxi said without any emotion.

Li Mo was surprised that the father and son were on the same day. He was surprised in his heart, but seeing Chu Yunxi's expressionless face, he didn't say any more. After Chu Yunxi finished writing, he looked at the imperial decree. Xi's handwriting was covered with the imperial seal. His eyes flickered, and after thinking for a while, he asked Chu Yunxi: "Yunxi, have you ever thought about who will be the emperor if King Wu doesn't come back?"
