381 The heart of a thief does not die
The imperial study was silent, Emperor Tiande sat in front of the dragon book, and then gently unfolded a secret letter sent by Nanyue, looked at it carefully, while watching his brows to stretch out more and more, and then saw that the last brow frowned slightly, he read the letter again, felt inappropriate, and then carefully read it for the second time, the third time, and finally folded the letter little by little, put it in the envelope, and then turned around and discarded it in the burning charcoal brazier, he stared intently at the charcoal brazierIt wasn't until he saw that the letter was completely burned to ashes that he withdrew his gaze, and then slowly turned away.
The emperor held his jade seal in his hand and looked at the mountains of music in front of him, but he had no intention of reviewing it, in fact, he didn't need to be so tired on weekdays, because Murong Yichuan could help him deal with most of it, but now that Murong Yichuan has gone to South Vietnam, all the affairs of the court have to be done by himself, to be honest, the emperor really feels a little powerless, and suddenly he misses Yichuan like that, but this thought is just a flash, he knows that he can't be like this, he can't rely on Yichuan as before, Maybe he will really die in the Forest of Death, then the whole world will belong to him from now on, but if he can come out alive, if the matter is revealed, then how will he end? Will he send troops to help Nangong Jue or not? Is his brother alive or dead? What the hell should I do now? If his younger brother really died, it would be good, in case he didn't die, he knew that the chessboard would actually be a game that he secretly set up with Nangong, so what would he do to himself? Is it really going to be a fratricidal tragedy between him? If so, is he really his opponent? I really don't dare to be sure, because from the beginning to the present, I am at a disadvantage in front of my younger brother in any way, if I am not the eldest son, then the country will not be under my feet, the abolition of the long and young feng shui back then, whether it is the first emperor or the Empress Dowager Xiao, they are so supportive of Murong Yichuan, not because of preference, but because Yichuan is talented, why should he lose to his younger brother? Even the woman she loves doesn't belong to herself, if she makes a little bit to meet her, how could she be in the hands of her younger brother, and at that time she watched the woman she loved being tortured by her brother, but now she is watching the woman she loves and her brother so affectionate, how can she let go of this hatred? How can it?
"Someone's coming." The emperor shouted out of the door, and immediately the door opened, and a few little eunuchs entered; "Long live the call of the minions, what do you command?" The emperor's great eunuch Defu asked.
The emperor looked at the few eunuchs standing in front of him, and didn't know how to speak for a while. When the eunuchs saw that the emperor did not speak, they could only stand there with their heads bowed and silent, waiting for the emperor's will.
The emperor pondered for a long time, and at last he spoke, and he commanded his personal eunuch; "Defoe; You go to Yongning Palace to spread my will and let Concubine Chen come to the imperial study, I have something to discuss with her. "Defu has followed the emperor for six or seven years, and this person has done things properly, so he is particularly liked by the emperor, so he has become the highest-ranking eunuch around the emperor, and he has been given the position of a celebrant and eunuch, commanding all the eunuchs in the palace.
Defu said busily when he heard this; "The minions obey." The reason why the emperor wanted to summon Concubine Chen was because he had his own purpose of not being superior, he did not want Concubine Chen to accompany him, but to use Concubine Chen to achieve the purpose he wanted, so he ordered someone to summon Concubine Chen. The reason why the emperor chose Concubine Chen, it was because he knew that he wanted to achieve his own goals, Concubine Chen was the best candidate, only Concubine Chen could let himself get her again, he knew that since that time, King Fu seemed to have strengthened his guard, and rarely let him enter the palace, but every time he entered the palace, he was in a hurry, and he was protected by Ping'er, he had no chance to start, he had to think of a complete strategy to enter the palace, and he could really zero distance from himself. The emperor knows that now is the best opportunity for him to start, if King Fu really dies in the Death Forest, then it is the best, he can get her openly, if he really does not die, then he must taste the sweetness before he comes back, otherwise there will be no such a good opportunity in the future.
The emperor waved his hand at the other eunuchs; "Go down, all of you."
"The minions are gone." The eunuchs walked out of the imperial study one after another.
Defu left the imperial study and hurriedly went to Yongning Palace to deliver the letter, but halfway he felt that this thing was a little wrong, this was not yet when Concubine Xuan was sleeping, how did the emperor suddenly summon Concubine Chen, and it was after he read a secret letter, and the emperor has not been very close to Concubine Chen recently, it has always been Concubine Ruan Rumian who accompanies the king, there must be something wrong with this, Defu is Murong Yichuan's person, he was sent by King Fu to the emperor's side to go undercover, and he has undergone very strict training before, Therefore, he was very sensitive to many things, so he hurriedly sent his henchmen out of the palace to tell Sรน Ping'er about this matter, and then went to Yongning Palace himself.
The moment Concubine Chen heard that Defu had come to the imperial study at the emperor's behest, her tears of surprise almost fell, because she was finally remembered by the emperor, and finally remembered by the emperor.
Concubine Chen followed the eunuch to the imperial study, to be honest, she hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, so she was naturally very happy.
"Long live the lord, Concubine Chen is here." Defu stood at the door of the imperial study and reported inside, and Concubine Chen stood aside and waited.
When the emperor heard this, he hurriedly spoke; "Let Concubine Chen come in."
"Yes" Defu hurriedly opened the door for Concubine Chen, who walked in with light steps, and then the eunuch closed the door.
Concubine Chen looked up and saw that the emperor was sitting upright in front of the dragon book case, and there was a mountain of music in front of her, and then when she saw the emperor's stern face, she felt a little drumming in her heart, and she didn't know what the emperor called her to do.
