Chapter 250: Intimate Concubine
"This lotus concubine specially instructed not to remove her heart, so it has a little bitter feeling." The concubine said.
"No wonder! It's pretty good, this taste is very special, and it's just right to drink in this weather. Especially with the pastries prepared by Ling'er, it is even more amazing! "As long as Chu Jinhua is with the noble concubine, his mood will be more relaxed.
"Your Majesty, as long as you like it. There is only so much that the concubines can do for the emperor. In the past few days, the emperor has been working very hard to review and review the folds day and night, and the concubines can't do anything. So I can only study these small snacks on weekdays, so that the emperor can improve his appetite. "The concubine has always been very caring. Over the years, she has been by the emperor's side, just seeking a stable life.
However, this harem is a place where you fight and I fight. Therefore, she has suffered a lot of hardships and grievances over the years. The queen mother made things difficult everywhere, but there were many things that she could endure without alarming Chu Jinhua.
"My Ling'er has worked hard. This lotus seed soup is delicious, and I like it very much. Chu Jinhua really drank the lotus seed soup. Indeed, the taste of this lotus seed soup is different from what I used to eat, and today it will taste more refreshing.
It won't be like the previous ones, after drinking a little more, you may feel tired.
"The concubine deliberately left this lotus seed heart, just to remind herself that the life we are living now is not easy. It looks like everything is flat now. But the concubine knows that there are still many hidden crises waiting for us to deal with. "The concubine really understands that all this is not easy.
Soon after the emperor ascended the throne, the foundation of the imperial court was unstable. A few days ago, there was news that spies had returned, and the surrounding countries were about to move, so now we have to guard against it.
In order to prevent the same situation from happening again, the Chu State really has no way to bear such a big blow again. Moreover, when the new emperor took office, there were still many hidden dangers left in the previous dynasty, and there was no way to deal with them in one step. So, those are the biggest problems right now.
"The concubine really has a heart." Gonggong Li responded.
After breakfast, Chu Jinhua moved to the prison. The person imprisoned here is the third prince, after the death of his father, the throne should have been inherited by the crown prince, but the third prince used some means to take away the throne.
Originally, Chu Jinhua didn't think so. Because his ambition was not to be on this throne in the first place, he wanted to pursue the free life of ordinary people. But he is really helpless in the emperor's house, so there is no way for his fate to be controlled by himself.
After the throne was taken away, he thought about being an ordinary person. However, this is not allowed. The three princes, using their positions of power, kept looting the people. In this way, the people of Chu were miserable, and the loyal ministers of the court were framed and killed by traitors one by one.
Seeing that the state of Chu was about to perish in the hands of the three princes, Xue Bolian and other loyal ministers assisted the crown prince in snatching the throne back. This is not for their own interests, but for the common people of the entire Chu State.
After Chu Jinhua took the throne, the lives of the common people gradually improved. However, in some areas far away from the capital, the lives of ordinary people are still miserable.
"The emperor has arrived!"
When the people in the prison heard that the emperor was coming, everyone's eyes widened. This emperor is not in the imperial court, what is he sitting in the prison? Everyone didn't dare to squeak, for fear that they would lose their heads if they were not careful, so they naturally had to do their jobs.
"How is everything good here?" The emperor looked at the supervisor of the prison and asked.
The heavenly prison of Chu State is very strong, and it can basically be said that there is no way for a fly to escape. Last time, the reason why Wei Huaisheng was rescued was actually because someone did something to it.
Therefore, although Chu Jinhua didn't say anything on the surface, he was very concerned about this matter in his heart. After all, this Wei Huaisheng was a very important figure for the Southern Dynasty.
"Back to the emperor, everything is fine in the prison."
Chu Jinhua came to the front of the third prince, looking at his current appearance, he really didn't dare to imagine. All his hair was already gray, and he really didn't expect that in a short period of time, a person's change could be like this.
Originally, Chu Jinhua was worried about brotherhood and wanted him to die a dignified death. However, his third brother didn't give him any face. Let's not mention that at the beginning, he killed Chu Jinhua completely, and he left a lot of secrets for himself later.
If he is really allowed to die like this, so many secrets will be brought into the grave by him. So keeping his life now is also for the sake of the entire Chu State.
"Hey! Didn't you see the emperor coming? "The third prince is unkempt, this kind of appearance is really not what anyone would have imagined, it is the third prince who was once high. Supervisors have always been impartial and upright in their work, and those who are sent to prison are guilty of capital crimes. Naturally, there is no need to be polite to the people here, in their eyes, these are criminals.
The third prince looked up at Chu Jinhua, sneered, and continued to lower his head. Isn't it just the defeat of his former subordinates! I came to this prison today just to ridicule him.
Seeing that the third prince had such an indifferent attitude, the supervisor, holding the stick in his hand, was ready to make a move on him. In front of the emperor, he also has to do his own job.
"Let's stand down first!" Chu Jinhua saw that he had become like this now, but he actually couldn't bear it in his heart. After all, this is even more uncomfortable for the third prince than killing him.
Maybe this is the best punishment for him! In the past, he did many hurtful things, so now he has become like this, and God is taking revenge on him.
"No!" The supervisor followed the others and retired, and now in the prison, only Gonggong Li and Chu Jinhua remained.
But for the sake of safety, Gonggong Li still followed the emperor's side to protect him at all times. After all, these three princes will not think of brotherhood at all, and they will kill the emperor completely. Fortunately, God has eyes, so Chu Jinhua has survived to this day.
Although these three princes are now trapped in the prison, because of the style of doing things before, they must not have any mercy at this moment. Because he really didn't know what would happen again in the future, Gonggong Li always followed the emperor's side.
"Brother Huang, I didn't expect that the two of us brothers would meet in this prison. If you could turn back time, would you still seek the throne? I think it will still be! Because in your heart, those that are meant to belong to you. ”
