26. Dark Curtain

Su Zhuoju glanced at him twice, and said lightly: "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." โ€

The emperor has been ill for a long time, and he was supposed to be the crown prince in charge of the country, but Su Zhuoye handed over this right to King Yao, that is, the prince's ninth emperor uncle Su Zhuoju.

The crown prince has just turned sixteen this year, and this one is only seven years older than him.

The smile on the corner of Chen Jun's lips became more and more profound, he was quite clear about the character of the prince, although he was respectful to King Yao, but in his heart he had long been angry that Su Zhuoju had repeatedly interfered in political affairs.

"Uncle Huang, this just went to Yangqing Palace? I wonder how my father is doing now? โ€

Su Zhuoju shook his head: "Your Majesty, he just vomited blood." โ€

Chen Jun made a very heartbroken look, held his hand, and sighed: "My father has been lingering on the sickbed for the past two years, and the situation is sometimes good and bad, as a son of man, he can't do anything about it......"

Su Zhuoju quietly glanced at the hands of the two of them, and took a step back: "Your Highness doesn't have to sigh, Your Majesty is my imperial brother, and the eldest brother is like a father, and I am in the same mood as me." โ€

Chen Jun smiled at him and said, "I'll go to see my father, so I won't send my uncle." โ€

"Your Highness can do it yourself."

Chen Jun turned around and left with everyone.

Su Zhuoju glanced at his palm, and then looked up at the deep palace building in the distance, the corners of his lips did not move, but there was a hint of clarity in his eyes.

Chen Jun returned to his room, thinking about the brief meeting just now, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Su Zhuo still remembered him.

The letter has already been delivered, and now it is up to us to see what will happen tomorrow.

The person the emperor wants to guard against should not be Su Zhuoju, but King Li, who is also a vassal king, the fifth son of the first emperor.

Although Su Zhuoju is the one with the largest number of private armies among the vassal kings, he is young after all, unlike this Li Wang, who has been in Rong for many years, and has a great prestige in the army, and many generals have received his favors.

And this time, this King Li has already brought his private soldiers to the capital in the name of King Qin, so the emperor is so relieved.

However, as far as Chen Jun knew, not only King Li, but also several other vassal kings had brought more than 10,000 private soldiers, including Su Zhuoju.

The turmoil behind this was something he didn't expect.

It's getting dark.

Su Zhuoju sat in front of the desk, the warm yellow light of the candlelight was blown by the wind outside the window, and suddenly, a person appeared in front of him.

A man dressed in black and covered with a face cover.

"Lord, there is an accident in the palace, and that one has ......"

Su Zhuoju waved his hand and said lightly: "This king knows, now I want you to do something, tomorrow you will choose ten of the worst guards to follow me." โ€

"Lord......?"

"King Li's prestige in the army is too high, his heart has long been different, the emperor can't tolerate him for a long time, tomorrow's accession to the throne ......" Su Zhuoju sneered, "Do as I say." โ€

"Yes." The man in black bowed his head in command, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Su Zhuo stared at the candle flame quietly for a moment, then placed a white note on it and watched him burn to ashes.

He stood up, untied the silver-gray waist seal around his waist, took off the silk brocade robe on his body, changed into a formal suit, and waited for the decree from the palace.

The night was not clear, the weather was dark and dreary, and it was the eve of a rainstorm.

The crown prince, the six vassal kings, and many courtiers all knelt outside the palace.

The rain began to pour.

Manager Sun walked out of the palace gate with the holy decree, his face wet.

"Your Majesty's edict is here, and you will obey the decree."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ I have reigned for many years, the country is undisturbed, the eldest son of the emperor of me, Su Jin, has both ability and political integrity, humble and respectful, and now he will pass on the throne and the crown prince, and hope that the kings and ministers will assist and support the new emperor with all their hearts...... However, the crown prince was young, and I decided to appoint Su Zhuojuo, the king of Yao, as the regent, to assist the new emperor in ascending the throne and temporarily acting as the ...... of the dynasty."

The sound of rain did not dampen the turmoil caused by this will.

Liwang Su Zhuolie's face was not good-looking.

In terms of age and qualifications, he is not stronger than Su Zhuoju, but now, it is obvious that the emperor is guarding against him, but does he think that Su Zhuoju and the crown prince can deal with him by joining forces?

Li Wang sneered and turned his head to look at Su Zhuoju, who was kneeling beside him.

King Yao lowered his head, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and the rain hung on his long eyelashes.

The golden court robe was already soaked, the same color straps outlined the thin waist, and the rain slid down his face into the neckline, Su Zhuolie couldn't help but turn his head away when he saw it.

After receiving the edict, everyone got up from the ground, and all kinds of complicated eyes were focused on Su Zhuojuo, envy, jealousy, and flattery of intimacy, he just didn't realize it.

Su Zhuoju put his hands behind his back, looked at the prince with tears on his face, thought about it, and finally walked over.

"Your Highness, condolences."

Su Jin glanced at him, and suddenly said, "Uncle Huang, you will help me, right?" โ€

Su Zhuoju lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness has an order, and the ministers will naturally obey it." โ€

The prince seemed to be very relieved when he heard this.

His eyes were locked on King Yao, and he said softly: "It's raining so hard, why don't you go to my palace to change your clothes?" โ€

Su Zhuoju shook his head: "No need." โ€

"Uncle Huang still cares about the dispute with Jin'er the day before yesterday?" The prince lowered his head and bowed his hand to him, his lowered eyes were cold, but his voice was gentle: "Jin'er is young after all, and she still depends on Uncle Huang for many things!" โ€

Su Zhuoju pinched his fingers and said, "Lead the way." โ€

Su Jin turned around, but he sneered in his heart, his Nine Emperor Uncle will always be so domineering, even if he is about to ascend the throne, I am afraid he will not pay much attention to it.

Su Zhuoju changed into a moon-white silk dress, sat quietly at the table, and held a porcelain-white cup on his fingertips, taking advantage of the fact that his complexion was like white jade, warm and delicate, and under the bright light, a very warm light was revealed.

The long hair like ink ingots has not yet dried, wet and draped behind him, and the broken hair on his forehead is also tangled into a few strands, hanging down on the side of his ears, but his cheeks are extremely fair, black and white, clearly and profoundly.

Su Jin was stunned and looked at him for a long time, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

He knew that his imperial uncle was born very well, and his mother concubine was a beautiful woman with infinite glory and favor in the three palaces back then, but Su Zhuoju was only as good as he was, but he was usually cold and domineering, which scared off those greedy people.

The prince lowered his eyes, and a thought came to his heart that he could not have expected.

Su Zhuoju noticed his gaze and turned his head to look at him.

The light of the candle flame hit the side face, casting a faint shadow, and there was an illusion of subtlety and tenderness.

Su Jin walked over with a smile, took the glass, poured a glass of wine, and handed it over.

"It's cold, wine warms up."

Su Zhuoju took it, wiped his lips and put it down.

"It's not early, so I won't disturb His Highness's rest."

Su Jin frowned and persuaded, "Why is Uncle Huang so outside?" โ€

Su Zhuoju stood up and reminded: "Tomorrow is the day His Highness ascends the throne, Your Highness should rest early!" โ€

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out without stopping.

Su Jin saw it in his eyes, but he sneered in his heart, it doesn't matter, Uncle Nine Emperors, we will come to a long time.

As soon as the rain outside stopped, the oncoming wind was still cold, but the look on Su Zhuoju's face was even colder, and when he returned to Yaowang's Mansion, it was already the third watch.

The moment his hand was pressed on the bedroom, Su Zhuoju paused, and then pushed it away.

Look at the man standing with his hands behind his back in the dark room.

Su Zhuoju said in a deep voice: "King Li." โ€

"It took so much midnight to come back, did the Nine Emperor Brothers finally discuss with the crown prince how to deal with this king?"

"The prince and I don't agree, King Li shouldn't know!"

Su Zhuolie sneered: "Who knows if it's a pretending disagreement." He glanced at the clothes on Su Zhuoju's body, and said sarcastically: "When he saw that you were drenched in the rain, he specially invited you to his palace to change clothes, heh, why didn't he invite this king by the way?" โ€

Su Zhuoju walked into the room, sat down by himself, poured a glass of water, but didn't say a word.

Li Wang frowned: "Are you acquiescing?" โ€

Su Zhuoju raised his eyes to look at him: "Fifth Emperor Brother, there are some things that you shouldn't come to question me. โ€

"What do you mean?"

Su Zhuoju looked at the tea in the cup, but didn't drink it.

"In terms of qualifications and merits, it is true that the position of regent is not my turn, but the emperor's edict is like this, you will not be unclear about the meaning of this, why bother!"

Su Zhuolie was stunned when he heard this, and after half a sound, he asked, "Then Ninth Brother, which side are you on?" โ€

"On my own side." King Yao said slowly.

Su Zhuoju felt that what he said was very sincere and honest, but in the eyes of King Li, it was just a prevarication.

He flicked his sleeves coldly, "Since this is the case, this king will not stay long." โ€

Su Zhuoju watched him leave, his fingertips were slightly forced, and the cup in his hand shattered instantly, and the tea splashed on the ground.

"You have to speed up and not waste too much time in these worlds."

As he spoke, a silver glint flowed through his eyes.

On the other side, Chen Jun was also thinking about it, he was not a person who would pin all his hopes on others, and after experiencing the previous world, although he believed in Su Zhuojuo's ability, he didn't dare to believe in his luck.

Some things still have to rely on yourself.

Chen Jun looked at the table of things he tossed out and smiled with satisfaction.

Medical skills are sometimes a very critical skill, his ability to cure diseases and save people is average, but his mind has recorded those โ–กโ–ก formulas of Su Fuyao in the previous world, and his unforgettable memory is so good, even if he only glanced at it a few times at the time, he can now recall it well.

Chen Jun looked at a red wooden box in his hand and sighed inexplicably.

Unlike the last time, he had gained a lot of trust from the emperor this time, so he was also told their true plans.

It's not the same rebellion he's used to be.

Yiqiฤ“ is just a play directed and acted by the emperor himself, and he was afraid of Su Zhuolie, the king of encouragement, for a long time, but he just took this opportunity to design a frame-up, wanting to pave the way for the crown prince in addition to him.

Whether it was himself as the crown prince's stand-in or those so-called assassins, it was arranged in advance.

Chen Jun sighed, he was really a complete victim last time.

The emperor is affectionate, and his brothers and sisters are rolling.

He had seen it deeply.
