The emperor was talking to Rong Yi and Liu Ke at this time, when he saw a person running in recklessly, and suddenly became angry: "What are you panicking, is the sky falling?" ”

The man was so frightened by the emperor's roar that he didn't dare to speak.

"What's wrong, why don't you say it?" The emperor said angrily.

The man replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the Qingping Palace's palace is on fire, and the prince has already taken someone to put out the fire." ”

After hearing this, the emperor stood up suddenly, the expression on his face froze slightly, and said, "Quick, transfer the Tiger Benying camp to help put out the fire." ”

When the man heard this, he hurried out.

Rong Yi and Liu Ke saluted at the right time: "My nephew will retire first." ”

The Emperor's mood was ruined, and they waved their hands and said, "All right, stand down." ”

Out of the imperial study, Rong Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It seems that I can't sit still, the emperor is not doing much." ”

"Do you think the third prince will be fine?" After listening to Rong Yi's words, Liu Ke asked with a smile.

The third prince was named the king of Qingping three years ago and went out of the palace, and on the day of Rong Yi and Liu Ke's wedding, he was confined by the emperor in the Qingping palace because of the verification of the smuggling of weapons, but he didn't want such a thing to happen just after being confined.

After Rong Yi listened to Liu Ke's words, he raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "You also thought of it." ”

Liu Ke smiled silently.

After leaving the palace gate, Rong Yi and Liu Ke got into the carriage, Rong Yi said: "Since the news of the emperor's holy body is not safe, all forces are ready to move, Yan Wangfu needless to say, the king of Min and the king of Shu must not be outdone, the eldest prince King Jin has the advantage of the eldest son, and he once followed the expedition to quell the chaos and has great military exploits. In contrast, the power of the crown prince is weaker, although he is now in charge of the country, he only has the advantage of fame, so if the emperor's illness can be cured, if not, then the situation will be chaotic for a while. ”

Liu Ke, who had already put down in his heart. At this time, after listening to Rong Yi's words. Only then did she realize that what she was most worried about in her life had not happened, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you belong to that force, King Yan?" ”

When Liu Ke said this. Because of the excessive worry in his heart, his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.

Rong Yi looked sideways and saw that Liu Ke's face had changed, and reached out to hug her shoulder and comforted: "How come, I'm not on my side." ”

Liu Ke did not speak. Just looked at him with disbelief in his eyes.

After a long time, Rong Yi finally sighed and said, "Do you think that if the emperor really can't do it." Who of them will succeed? ”

Liu Ke came back to his senses for a moment, and said faintly: "In terms of strength, it is naturally King Yan, although the King of Min and the King of Shu are rich, but their two kings are not as strategic as King Yan and can fight well. The frequent invasions of the Hu people in recent years have affected the growth of Yandi's strength, but the soldiers there have also been trained in real gun combat, which cannot be bought with any amount of money. As for the crown prince, I don't know much about it. So there is no way to judge. ”

She paused at this point, and then continued: "However, the crown prince is a righteous prince, once there is a change, the prince is orthodox, and any other party is rebellious, as long as the prince deals with it properly, it is not impossible to rule the world." ”

After Rong Yi listened to Liu Ke's words, he couldn't help but light up his eyes, and said with a smile: "The lady can be my female military teacher." ”

Liu Ke pouted, "Young poor mouth, tell me the truth, which side are you on?" ”

After she said this, her heart thumped nervously, she was afraid that the words "Yan Wang" would come out of Rong Yi's mouth, in that case, Rong Yi would probably be the same as in her previous life.

"Actually, in their eyes, I am a drunken person, and what can attract them is the materials of the Chu Palace," Rong Yi said to Liu Ke, "In the Chu Palace, the king of Anqing is obvious to all, although he has no ability, but he is a good boy who is motivated, I don't know how many times stronger than his Lao Tzu, otherwise the emperor would not have named him the king of the county." ”

At this point, Rong Yi couldn't help but smile, raised his eyebrows and said: "Imagine if he inherits the throne of the King of Chu, will the other people have another opponent, and even the emperor does not want to be in the capital who may threaten the throne at any time." Therefore, the emperor and other kings all want me to inherit the throne of Chu, so that whoever pulls the king of Chu under his banner will only add help to them, not a threat. ”

Rong Yi said so much, but still did not answer Liu Ke's question, the more this happened, the more worried Liu Ke became.

"Are you actually a drunkard?" Liu Ke asked.

"Of course, even if it wasn't before, it's still now, but I just have you to be the same!" Rong Yi said and leaned towards Liu Ke's face.

After Liu Ke dodged back, he pinned his face to the other side and said, "It's not serious." ”

"You should have heard about it ten years ago, so I always have a grudge against the emperor, but he has always been very good to me, and the second brother of the crown prince is also very good to me, better than anyone else."

Hearing this, Liu Ke probably already knew Rong Yi's choice, and his heart seemed to have fallen into a big stone.

"So you're in the same league as the prince."

Rong Yi saw that Liu Ke was not as nervous as he was just now, and said with a smile: "Just what you want?" After saying this, he restrained the expression on his face a little and said, "If the emperor had something to do, he should have succeeded the crown prince, shouldn't he?" ”

Liu Ke nodded as if he was nothing, "You're right, I just hope that this day will come later." ”

"If there really is such a day, I will definitely place you first, and I will never let you be in the slightest danger." Rong Yi said solemnly to Liu Ke.

Liu Ke came back to his senses and said sharply: "What are you talking about? Since we are already husband and wife, we should naturally advance and retreat together, what do you mean to settle me first-"

Rong Yi saw that Liu Ke's face changed suddenly, and knew that she was really angry, and a hot current suddenly seemed to surge in his heart.

For so many years, he has been a person, although he has the love of the old princess, but no one has ever told him to advance and retreat together.

He took Liu Ke's hand and pushed it into his arms, lowered his head and kissed Liu Ke's mouth where he was still talking.

Liu Ke's words were only halfway through, and there was no movement in the carriage.

Until there was a commotion on the street, Rong Yi lifted the curtain of the car, just in time to see a beggar-like man being chased and beaten by several soldiers.

When the soldier saw Rong Yi's frame, he quickly stopped, saluted on one knee, and said, "The little one has seen the prince!" ”

At that moment, the beggar quickly scurried into the crowd and disappeared.

"What are you doing here?" Rong Yi asked when he saw the soldier's uniform of the West Battalion they were wearing.

"Back to the prince's words, we are fighting the fire in the Qingping Palace, this unknown call Huazi actually went to the palace to pick up things in the chaos, and was seen by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the little ones beat him out."

After Rong Yi heard this, he glanced at Liu Ke, did not speak again, dropped the curtain of the car, and ordered the coachman to continue to hurry.

By the time they returned to the Chu Palace, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as the concierge saw them, he hurriedly said, "Lord Shizi, the prince and the princess have been waiting for you in the flower hall for a long time, hurry up." ”

"I'm sweating all over my body, this prince and the princess will go and change their clothes first." Rong Yi threw down a sentence and went back to his courtyard with Liu Ke.

After changing their clothes, Rong Yi and Liu Ke arrived at the flower hall slowly.

Before going in again, Rong Yi whispered in Liu Ke's ear: "Eat less for a while, and I'll take you out to eat later." ”

Liu Ke pursed his lips and smiled, and followed him into the flower hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the whole family sitting around a round table, and the table was full of dishes covered with lids, waiting for them to start eating.

"You're finally willing to come back, sit down!" King Chu said with a gloomy face.

Rong Xin and Zhu stood up and took Rong Yi and Liu Ke to sit down before sitting down again.

Seeing that everyone was complete, the king of Chu cleared his throat and said: "Everyone has been waiting for noon, and there is no hurry at this time, this king will announce one thing before starting the meal." ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone pricked up their ears.

"In the past, the second daughter-in-law of the family has always been in charge, and now the son has become married, after the Liu family returns to the door, there will be the Liu family to manage the family's middle feed, but although she is long, but in the end she is just a bride," Speaking of this, the king of Chu said to the princess of Chu, Ji: "You will help from the side, let her handle the small things by herself, and you will decide for her when she encounters the big things that she can't handle." ”

Ji nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Rong Yi didn't expect that what the King of Chu was going to announce today turned out to be this.

The most unacceptable is the princess Zhu of Anqing County.

She has been in charge of the family's middle feed since the second year of marriage, and there has never been a major mistake, and today she will be replaced, and there is no one to discuss with her beforehand, so as soon as the words of the king of Chu fell, Zhu's face changed.

It's just that the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu are there, so she can't make a fuss, so she bit her lip and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Since the second brother and sister have always been in charge, then let her take care of it, and there is no need to add so many contradictions for no reason." Rong Yi looked at the corners of Zhu's mouth and smiled with disdain on his face.

He knew that the King of Chu would never kindly let Liu Ke take care of the family's middle feed, and he didn't know what bad water was hidden in his heart, so he didn't want Liu Ke to be in danger, so he opened his mouth to refuse.

After listening to Rong Yi's words, Wang Rongxin of Anqing County said with a smile: "The eldest brother is serious, a few years ago, it was only because the eldest brother did not marry a wife that she was temporarily in charge, and now that the sister-in-law has passed the door, it should naturally be managed by the sister-in-law." ”

After Rong Xin finished speaking, he said to the Zhu family: "After dinner, you will sort out the affairs at home, and it will be better to hand over to your sister-in-law after tomorrow." ”

Zhu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Rong Yi tried his best to refuse, but the more he objected, the more resolute the attitude of King Chu became.

Liu Ke kept her head down and remained silent, continuing to be her weak little daughter-in-law.

After eating, Rong Yi and Liu Ke walked out of the flower hall, Rong Yi said with an unhappy face: "I won't let you get into danger, the reason why they do this is just to block the eyes of outsiders, and I don't know what kind of tricks they will use to deal with you when the time comes,"

Liu Ke smiled at Rong Yi and said, "It's okay, I'll too-" (To be continued)
