Chapter 96: Justified
The eldest prince Zhou Lian was defeated and captured, and the emperor drove back to the palace, and the first thing he did was to interrogate the eldest prince Zhou Lian. The eldest prince Zhou Lian's armor was splashed with loess blood, his hair crown was crooked, his sideburns were scattered, and he was dressed as a wolf, but his back was straight, and his eyes were firm and untamed.
Zhou Ying helped the emperor and walked to the top step by step.
The emperor leaned on her almost half of his body, and after only a few steps, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, which made Zhou Ying faintly worried.
The emperor was so tired that his fingers trembled a little, but he refused to show his weakness, grabbed the handrail tightly, closed his eyes and slowed down, before he raised his head, and saw that the eldest prince Zhou Lian was stubborn, and there was no trace of repentance on his face. The emperor was furious, grabbed the teacup, and threw it at the eldest prince Zhou Lian. But in the end, his strength was weak, and the teacup that originally smashed into the head of the eldest prince Zhou Lian flew out of a weak arc in the air, which could be landed at Zhou Lian's feet, and the tea leaves splashed the corner of Zhou Lian's robe.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
The eldest prince Zhou Lian shook the tea leaves on the feet of his robe and smiled lightly, "Father, you are old." ”
The deepest worries in the emperor's heart were broken by the words of this young and powerful son in court, and his heart couldn't help shrinking, and for a moment it seemed that all the shadows in the shadows were whispering, mocking his old and old body, and coveting the dragon chair where he could no longer sit steadily.
The emperor bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, the clear stinging pain on the tip of his tongue and the salty smell of blood in his mouth made him sober up instantly, he leaned forward, his eyes clouded by old illness were as sharp as an eagle falcon for a moment, "Evil obstacles, don't kneel down yet!" ”
A guard stepped forward to escort the eldest prince Zhou Lian to kneel, but saw Zhou Lian raise his hand backwards, "I'll come by myself." ”
The emperor looked at the eldest prince Zhou Lian kneeling down leisurely, did not see a trace of shame, and sneered: "I have nourished you with brocade clothes and jade food, taught you poetry and books, and practiced etiquette, but it turned out that I only taught a brute who poisoned his father, rebelled, was disloyal, unfilial, and had no king and no father. ”
The eldest prince Zhou Lian's pupils shrank, and he said with a sarcastic smile: "I am disloyal and unfilial, I have no king and no father, isn't it due to my father?" ”
"I am the eldest son of the queen mother, who has occupied enough fame, since I was a child, diligent and studious, poetry, calligraphy and martial arts, I dare not fall behind others, and when I enter the court to listen to politics, I am even more conscientious, corporal Lixian, for fear of losing the face of my father. But what did my father do to me? The eldest prince Zhou Lian's eyes were red, and he roared, "First I supported Zhou Yan's son from the scumbag to oppose me, and then I supported the ignorant child of the fifth emperor brother to suppress me!" Obviously, I am the most rightful heir, why are you, why do you treat me like this! ”
The eldest prince Zhou Lian clenched his fists, closed his eyes fiercely, covered the unwillingness and hatred in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, his tone was indifferent like a breeze blowing through the valley, "Since in my father's heart, anyone is more suitable for the throne than the son, and the minister has no choice but to rob it himself." ”
The eldest prince Zhou Lian slowly looked at Zhou Ying and arched his hand, "Although the army is defeated, I admit defeat in the bet." ”
Zhou Ying's heart is not good, if she heard the words of the eldest prince Zhou Lian before, she still had some sympathy in her heart, but when the eldest prince Zhou Lian led the disaster to her, that little sympathy had long since disappeared.
The eldest prince Zhou Lian saw that he was abandoned by the emperor, perhaps because he was not favored by the emperor, but the root of it is nothing more than that the eldest prince Zhou Lian is getting stronger and stronger, with full wings, and the emperor is getting old day by day.
The identity of Zhou Ying's daughter's family is the biggest stumbling block for her struggle for power and profit in this era of male supremacy, but at the same time, it is also because of this weak and pitiful identity, the emperor has never had a real jealousy of her. When the Hei family army was burned in the princess's mansion before, the emperor may have had an impression of Zhou Ying's ruthlessness, but he didn't rank her among the heirs, otherwise he wouldn't let her take charge of the tiger talisman lightly.
But the eldest prince Zhou Lian provoked this time, how did the emperor think......
Zhou Ying looked at the emperor with an uneasy face, "Father, the emperor ......"
The emperor did not see doubt in his eyes, and even patted the back of Zhou Ying's hand comfortingly, looked at the eldest prince Zhou Lian, looked at this son full of hatred, and said with a cold texture, "Who is the throne of the Ninety-Five Honor, who is the real justification." ”
