Chapter 61: The Jade Bone Flute
"Miss Jiang should also stay." The emperor sat on the seat and rubbed his temples with some headaches.
Su Chenyu's face became gloomy.
Jiang Luoan and Su Chenyu stood in place and waited, waiting until everyone present dispersed.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng didn't leave, and the emperor didn't say anything when he saw it.
The two of them were left because Wei Zheng came to see the emperor yesterday, saying that he wanted to take Jiang Luoan as his wife. But the marriage contract between Jiang Luoan and Su Chenyu has been decided, and it is still decided by the emperor, so naturally there is no way to go back.
Wei Zheng still did not give up after being rejected. He said that since the two of them were not married, he still had a chance.
The emperor was actually not very satisfied with the marriage of these two people at this time. used to choose Jiang Luo'an because she had no status in the Jiang family, and her father was a waste. But now it is different from the past, Jiang Luoan has become the eldest lady of the General's Mansion. If she marries the crown prince, the prince will naturally get the help of the Jiang family.
Since Wei Zheng put it forward like this, he simply pushed the boat down the river and handed over the right to choose to Jiang Luo'an, so that he would not hurt the harmony.
When he knew what he was going to do with the two of them, Su Chenyu directly blackened his face.
When the emperor asked Jiang Luoan to choose who he wanted to marry, he was about to rush over, but fortunately, he restrained himself. Su Chenyu also wanted to see what Jiang Luoan thought.
Jiang Luoan did not hesitate, "Since I have already made a marriage contract with His Royal Highness the Prince, I will not marry him in this life." Thank you for the love of the second prince, but the little woman really doesn't dare to be, so please choose another lover for the second prince. ”
Wei Zheng smiled, "Miss Jiang, as far as I know, when you made this marriage contract, you were a thousand or ten thousand unwilling, but you didn't force yourself to pretend to love the prince because of me." ”
Hearing the discord in his words, Jiang Luoan just smiled slightly, "The second prince's words are wrong. At the beginning, I was young and ignorant, but I didn't want to be disciplined by my parents, and I didn't have any prejudices against His Royal Highness the Prince. And now that I have had a lot of friends with His Royal Highness the Prince, I gradually realized that the marriage contract that my father set for me was really good. ”
Even though he knew that Jiang Luo'an's words were only half-true, Su Chenyu was still a little moved in his heart when she said it so firmly.
Wei Zheng and Jiang Luoan left the palace with their front and back feet, but Su Chenyu accompanied the emperor to the end.
It wasn't until only the two of them were left in this empty hall that Su Chenyu said in a deep voice: "Father, the son wants to ask you for something." ”
Looking at his respectful appearance, the emperor sneered, "There is no one else here, you don't have to pretend to be like this, just say anything directly." ”
Su Chenyu patted his sleeve, "The marriage contract between Erchen and Miss Jiang has been set for a long time, and Erchen wants to marry her as soon as possible." ”
The emperor glanced at him, "I'm afraid that it wasn't for Wei Zheng who came to rob you today and stimulated you, so you are so anxious." ”
Su Chenyu smiled silently.
The emperor sighed, "That's it, anyway, sooner or later, the marriage will be completed, so let's do it in the near future." ”
Su Chenyu said loudly: "Father Xie is complete." ”
The emperor continued: "Do you remember your biological father? King Rui died on the battlefield that year, and I was very sad, so I continued to make you the crown prince. However, when I was sorting out the relics for King Rui, I found that a few important things were missing, and his body was missing, so I feared that someone with bad intentions had taken it. ”
After saying this, he turned his head to stare at Su Chenyu.
When King Rui died in battle, he sent someone to collect the body, but he was told that the body was long gone, and the jade bone flute that King Rui had been carrying on his body was missing.
Without seeing his body, the emperor was always a little uneasy, afraid of where he was hiding, so he sent people around to check if anyone similar to King Rui had appeared.
After all, if King Rui suddenly appeared, he would definitely not be able to sit on the throne.
But after so many years, there has been no news of King Rui, and the emperor has gradually settled down. But the jade bone flute on King Rui's body has never been found, and he suspects that it was taken by Su Chenyu.
The words he had just said were meant to test him.
Su Chenyu's face did not change, and he had a puzzled expression, "Father has never told me this. When King Rui died on the battlefield, I didn't even see him for the last time, let alone know the whereabouts of those relics. If my father knows, can you let me see you again to understand the regrets in my heart? ”
Hearing this, the emperor was still a little unwilling, and tried him a few words, but he was repeatedly fooled by Su Chenyu.
In the end, he couldn't, so he had to let Su Chenyu go.
After the crown prince left, the emperor began to sulk in the main hall. The old eunuch, who had been by his side, walked out tremblingly from behind the pillar.
"Your Majesty, since the prince refuses to speak out, you might as well join forces with Na Wei Zheng and take away the prince's position."
After Su Chenyu left, he immediately went to the General's Mansion to find Jiang Luoan. After the two closed the door of the room, Su Chenyu told everything that happened in the hall after she left today.
"Jade Bone Flute, what is that, is it important?" Jiang Luo'an had never heard of this thing.
Su Chenyu said: "Important. The jade bone flute can be breathtaking when it is blown, and it can be specially controlled according to the guidance of the piper's spiritual power. ”
"So it's pretty much an enhanced version of my eye ability." Jiang Luo'an. She can only charm her enemies when she stares into the other's eyes, but once this jade bone flute is blown, she can control countless people at the same time.
Su Chenyu nodded, "King Rui's army has always been loyal, so he only uses this flute against the enemy, and has never used it in his own army." ”
"It stands to reason that with such a powerful weapon, it is absolutely impossible for His Royal Highness King Rui to have an accident on the battlefield. He could control so many enemy troops at the same time, and he would never be so easily seriously injured. Jiang Luoan looked up at Su Chenyu, "There is only one possibility, there is an inner ghost in the army." ”
Su Chenyu guessed it as early as when his father was unconscious. King Rui has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has never seen any battles, and he will never be seriously injured in a small battle.
It is very likely that this inner ghost was placed by the current emperor. After all, if King Rui dies, he will be the one who will inherit the throne in order. But Su Chenyu can't be completely sure. If he really knew who had planted the inner ghost, he would definitely let that person walk around without eating.
Looking at his face with some anger, Jiang Luoan hurriedly comforted him with kind words, "It's okay." His Royal Highness King Rui has already taken the pill and will wake up soon. When the time comes, you can ask him for yourself what really happened. ”
Looking at Jiang Luoan's face, Su Chenyu's expression softened a little.
