Chapter 977: Heavenly Prison Visit
The tree fell and scattered, the king of Chu was about to be beheaded, and those who didn't want to die and didn't want to leave could only ask for Yuan Xiuyu's head. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yuan Xiuyu wants to do a lot of things for more than a day or two, and although she is not very clear about the road ahead, she also has her own plans.
There is no way for the subordinates to stay longer, after all, just like Wu Wan'er said, she relies on others to live, and the previous means of being powerful and blessing must not be used again.
Therefore, those subordinates in the palace who were more loyal to her, had skills, and were smart enough were transferred to her own courtyard by her to stay, and other people, especially Wu Wan'er, who gained power some time ago and helped her to bully her subordinates, Yuan Xiuyu would not look at it, so let them fend for themselves.
When the officers and soldiers took everyone away, Yuan Xiuyu gathered the rest of the people in the mansion into his courtyard and watched them quietly.
Xiao Shizi is still asleep, and the nurse is in the house, and she can see the back of Yuan Xiuyu. She had never found out before that Yuan Xiuyu was such a wristed person, she was also very thin, but now she looked extraordinarily tall.
Compared with outsiders who think that their Chu Palaces are miserable and miserable, Yuan Xiuyu feels a lot cleaner. She listened intently now, and could no longer hear the voices talking about her fall from grace behind her back, and when she looked up, she could no longer see the disrespect of those subordinates to her.
She liked the feeling now, the whole palace was empty, but it was completely hers.
As long as she hibernates for a few years, who says she can't make a comeback?
After being silent for a long time, Yuan Xiuyu spoke: "In the future, this palace will only be left with us to live, and this palace doesn't want to remind you why you are staying here today, but if you dare to do anything to betray this palace, this palace will definitely punish you heavily." ”
All the subordinates knelt down at Yuan Xiuyu, eager to prostrate on the ground, and said in unison: "The slave/slave will definitely be loyal to the princess in the future, and will never dare to have two hearts, please the princess and the princess will be clear!"
Yuan Xiuyu also laughed when she saw the absolute obedience of these people. From now on, these people will treat her as the heaven of this Chu Palace, and even their lives are tied to their bodies, who would dare to be disrespectful to themselves?
Just be shocked, Yuan Xiuyu will rely on them for a long time in the future, so he waved his hand at them: "You all get up, as for your determination, this palace is already clear, you just need to remember, as long as you are loyal to this palace, everyone can have a good life, this is enough, butler." She called out, and immediately a man came out of the ranks and saluted her.
"The subordinates are here. The housekeeper said respectfully to Yuan Xiuyu.
"You go and check with the account room, how much money is left in the mansion, the shop that belongs to the Chu Wangfu, how much land is left, and before tonight, hand over the account books to the palace. Moreover, the king of Chu is about to be beheaded, and he also needs to prepare for the aftermath. ”
"The subordinate understood. The butler replied, and quickly stepped back.
Everyone actually looked at Yuan Xiuyu and was a little frightened. She was to be put to death, but her husband, how could she be so indifferent?
Xiao Shizi also seemed to feel Yuan Xiuyu's coldness, and even cried in his sleep, the loud cry made Yuan Xiuyu frown, but he still walked into the room, went to his bedside, and gently hugged him.
Feeling the warmth of Yuan Xiuyu's embrace, Xiao Shizi stopped crying, so he squirmed and fell asleep after a while.
Yuan Xiuyu pressed her face against Xiao Shizi's cheek, and then said softly: "Liancheng doesn't cry, the mother concubine is by your side." Your father is going to be beheaded, and from now on, in this world, the mother concubine will only be left with you, one relative, the two of us, start from scratch. ”
Mu Liancheng slept soundly in Yuan Xiuyu's arms, and he didn't know that when Yuan Xiuyu mentioned the King of Chu, he didn't feel miserable at all. That woman, as if she wanted to erase the traces of the existence of the King of Chu in her life, it was enough to leave only this child.
In the evening, Yuan Xiuyu put on her clothes, asked someone to prepare a cloak for her, got into a carriage, and went to the prison.
Even if she is considered guilty now, the emperor will not be accommodating at all and will not let her see the king of Chu.
So the way to the prison was also very smooth, but the jailer didn't give Yuan Xiuyu much face, telling her that the visit time was only two quarters of an hour, and when the time came, she had to come out.
Yuan Xiuyu handed the jailer a bag of silver coins, and although the jailer was a little embarrassed, he still walked a little farther: "Princess Chu, go quickly, your subordinates will come over in a while, remember not to talk too late." ”
She nodded, turned and walked towards King Chu's cell.
Chu Wang Ku sat in the cell, feeling cold all over his body. And this coldness, when he saw Yuan Xiuyu, was raised to the extreme.
"Why are you here?"
The king of Chu smiled sarcastically at her, and he didn't want to say a word to her. I'm already in a catastrophe, I'm afraid Yuan Xiuyu doesn't want to come to see him, right?
Yuan Xiuyu didn't care about King Chu's cold attitude towards her, she just stood at the door of the cell and smiled at King Chu, just like when she first saw her, she was also so shy and beautiful.
"One day husband and wife hundred days, His Royal Highness is on the road, why do the concubines have to come to send it. Yuan Xiuyu said plainly, but the king of Chu was disgusted when he heard it.
He just wanted to say that when this king didn't need you to send it, Yuan Xiuyu spoke again.
"Besides, the concubine also has something that needs to be known to Your Highness. As she spoke, she was still staring into King Chu's eyes, sure that King Chu would not refuse her.
"What's the matter?" King Chu is also a lot calmer now, even if he regrets it, it will be useless, he wants to see what this woman can say to himself.
"Your Highness, do you think that someone will come to save you? For example, Concubine Li Niangniang or something?" Yuan Xiuyu's words poked into the heart of King Chu.
After all, Concubine Li's family is also a bit powerful, but whenever she receives some news, she will come to plead for herself, don't ask the emperor to spare herself, exile or beat the military stick, even if she is injured and disabled, as long as it does not hurt her life.
"What do you know?" King Chu's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly asked intently, "Did you say anything to your mother before?"
"Didn't the prince already know? You didn't stand up to stop it at that time, what, do you regret it now?" These two people, in fact, started acting early in the morning, and now they just spread everything out, and they don't care about each other's mood.
"You wicked woman. "The king of Chu hated it so much. At that time, between Xiangye and Concubine Li, he chose Xiangye, but Xiangye stabbed himself in the back.
"Actually, the concubine is not too much, originally the mother concubine she has no ability, when it comes to seducing the emperor, she can't compare to Concubine Shu, when it comes to wrist power, she can't compare to Concubine De, and coming back is just dragging us back. So at that time, I said to my mother, mother, don't come back in the future, the concubine and the prince are not welcome. Saying that, Yuan Xiuyu seemed to have thought of something extremely interesting, covered her mouth with a brocade hand, and laughed in a low voice: "So you think, the princess, the concubine has already been said by the concubines, and she will definitely not care about the affairs of the capital." ”
King Chu didn't want to be angry with Yuan Xiuyu, he was already very disappointed in Yuan Xiuyu, but as soon as she said this, she easily provoked her anger, and walked from the ground to the door of the cell in a few steps, he wanted to hit Yuan Xiuyu, but Yuan Xiuyu stood far away, and there was a railing obstruction, he couldn't touch Yuan Xiuyu at all, so he could only scold viciously: "This king has seen this time, what is the most poisonous woman's heart!"
Yuan Xiuyu was still indifferent: "The prince is angry, you were asked to be beheaded three days later, if you die of anger now, it will be too much of a loss." ”
While speaking, she continued to laugh: "Besides, the concubine doesn't just want to talk to the prince about it. Didn't the prince feel that he was too easy to get angry these days?"
The hands that King Chu was waving just now stopped directly, and looked at Yuan Xiuyu with faint eyes: "You...... What do you mean?"
"That's what it means literally. After speaking, Yuan Xiuyu also briefly told what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion back then, that Yun Jing, wasn't she given such a drug, if Yuan Jinyu hadn't stopped it, maybe everyone would have thought that she had gone crazy and died.
At that time, Yuan Xiuyu wrote down this medicine, anyway, the king of Chu was in the mansion all day, and she also had a chance to start, so the king of Chu didn't notice it until now, it was his body that had a problem.
“…… Haha, lord, in fact, the concubine is quite moved. You see, although you are not good to your concubine, you seem to be at ease when you eat and use what your concubine gave you. It's just that King Ning came back too early, otherwise the concubine might really be able to see you go crazy!" Yuan Xiuyu finished speaking, and directly smiled and bent over, this time, her tears couldn't wait to fall.
Look at the face of the King of Chu, the iron is terrifying, this is to eat himself, right? Why is his heart so refreshing?
The king of Chu was so angry with Yuan Xiuyu that he was almost speechless, so he could only point at Yuan Xiuyu, his eyes were like knives, and he stabbed Yuan Xiuyu's body at once, of course, Yuan Xiuyu was painless.
When Yuan Xiuyu finished laughing, she took out a piece of paper from herself, which was the one she showed to King Chu a few days ago.
"Lord Wang, since the emperor has already issued a holy decree, you should stop being strong, this title in the future will definitely be our child's. But the concubine originally thought that if the biological father was not there, this etiquette system of inheriting the title would not be completed, so while you were still alive, the concubine took this document to sign for you, and when you signed it, even if you were not in this world, the little prince could successfully inherit the title!"
