Chapter 127: Chu Sheng's Ascension to the Throne (I)
Before dawn, there were crowds on the street.
Although the atmosphere in the entire Chu country is tense, the people born at the bottom still have to make a living, and the early shops, bun shops, and tea shops have all opened their doors and started to solicit business.
Mo Chen and Mo Qinglan found a bun shop at random, sat on the street, and the two people at the next table were blowing hot air on the buns, and at the same time, their mouths were not idle:
"You say, the eldest prince and the third prince this time, who can win?" A middle-aged man who looked like a fat farmer asked his companion.
"It's hard to say. However, I am more optimistic about the Three Princes. The companion replied, dark-skinned and as thin as a bamboo pole.
"Cut, I've heard that the lord of the country has been placed under house arrest by the eldest prince, and I think most of this throne is in the hands of the eldest prince." The farmer shook his head in disagreement.
"This throne is going to fall into the hands of the eldest prince, and we don't have a good life. You don't look at the arrogant and domineering appearance on the street on weekdays, although the third prince is not close to the people, but he is a practical person, do you see how much tax has been reduced for us in recent years? Anyway, I still hope that the three princes can fight it! After speaking, the thin bamboo pole took a big bite of the bun and chewed vigorously.
"Hey, forget it. This is not something that we, the common people, can take care of, can have work and food, and care who is the emperor. The farmer waved his hand.
The thin bamboo pole stopped talking, and the two of them ate steamed buns with their heads bored.
Mo Chen and Mo Qinglan glanced at each other, and after eating the buns in front of them, they walked around the street.
From time to time, patrolling soldiers hurried through the streets, attracting passers-by to look sideways.
"I don't know anything." Mo Qinglan spoke.
"Qinglan, you say." Mochen smiled slightly.
"What is written in the silk silk, the lord of Chu has no idea?" Mo Qinglan asked.
There is a royal scandal hidden there, and this silk silk is handed over to Chu Sheng, and it will definitely be able to turn things around, but with just a silk silk, how can the lord of Chu be completely convinced? Mo Qinglan still felt that it was inappropriate in his heart.
"Chu Sheng has a grandmother by his side, who has served the queen and delivered babies for Xiu Niangniang, and the child is Chu Sheng. This grandma was almost killed by the queen, and was rescued by Xiu Niangniang, at that time, Xiu Niangniang was being favored, and she was pregnant with Chu Sheng, she knew that Grandma was a famous midwife in the palace, and in order to be able to give birth without worry, she used some means to keep Grandma by her side. Later, Xiuniangniang was killed by Queen Chu, and Grandma could not escape death, but she was rescued by Chu Sheng and has been with her since then. Mochen explained.
"Are you saying that this old man, who hasn't come forward for so many years, will now testify for Chu Sheng?" Mo Qinglan was suspicious.
"Actually, with or without this silk silk, she should come out. Otherwise, the eldest prince will be, and the people on Chu Sheng's side will have to die. Even if she is wise enough to protect herself and doesn't know how to repay her kindness, she will stand up for the lives of herself and her family. It's just a short time. Mochen said softly.
He and Mo Qinglan walked side by side on the gradually lively street, the breeze was not dry, the beauty was beside him, and the treacherous situation was just a tea gossip between him and her.
The two didn't wander around the street for long, and in order not to be discovered, they returned to the teahouse early.
Late at night, Chu Sheng arrived as promised.
When Chu Sheng saw Mo Qinglan present, there was a moment of confusion on his face, and then a wry smile appeared on his face.
These two people, sure enough, are inseparable from the dust, and the dust is not separated from the dust.
"The contents of this box are a gift from me to you, and from now on, you can walk in the Chu country with dignity." Mo Chen cut straight to the point, with a rare seriousness on his face.
He didn't like Chu Sheng to look at Mo Qinglan, and he didn't like it for a moment.
Chu Sheng looked at the square box suspiciously, opened it, and when he saw the yellow silk pattern, his eyes jumped unconsciously.
The reverse side of the silk silk is embroidered with the style of the green dragon soaring, although he can only see one or two of them, but he recognized at a glance that this is the silk silk used by the royal family of Chu State.
He took the silk silk out of the box, opened it, and a few lines of small words jumped on it:
Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.
Today, there is a tanuki for the prince, and the queen is so powerful that she covers the sky with one hand and blinds the sacred heart.
My son Sheng was affected by his rumors and was troubled, and my mother and son were designed by the queen's conspiracy everywhere.
I wish to die in exchange for a clear heart, and may the truth be revealed to the world.
Delicate small characters, blood-colored engraving, words and hearts.
"How did you have this?"
Chu Sheng stared at Mo Chen with red eyes, holding the silk hand, trembling.
"This is your mother's last letter. You and Chu Chao were born only a year apart, since you were born, the Queen of Chu regards your mother and son as a thorn in the flesh, she knows that her son is not the birth of the lord of the country, so she thought of splashing this dirty water on you, so that you can not only hide your own conspiracy, but also make the lord of Chu suspicious of you. But Xiu Niangniang Hui Zhi Lan Xin, a kind person, and a simple residence in the palace, after many secret investigations by the lord of Chu, he was relieved to see that he was not likely to be cuckolded. Later, Xiu Niangniang was framed by the queen in every possible way, and she couldn't bear the torture and went. This silk silk was written by her and handed over to us for collection in Shadowless Valley, and if you successfully ascend the throne, this silk silk will never see the light of day. Instead, it's the last thing she can do for you under the Nine Springs. It's time for us in Shadowless Valley to be entrusted with loyalty. ”
Mo Chen said, as if he had said too much and was a little tired, and poured himself a cup of tea, although his mouth was dry, he still drank it elegantly and without hurrying.
"Huh...... What a thing to be entrusted with by others. I don't understand, since he is fake, why didn't my mother tell this matter earlier, all these years......" Chu Sheng said this, lowered his head, and couldn't go on.
Over the years, he has had a very difficult time. Wandering on the verge of life and death many times, he almost wanted to go with his mother a few times......
"Xiu Niangniang, kind. When she left, Chu Chao was only four or five years old, she felt that Chu Chao was innocent, and she couldn't bear to worry about Chu Chao's life because of her own revelations. She believes that you can face it, and believes that the Lord of Chu will take good care of you. But since the emperor was suspicious, Empress Chu still planted this seed of doubt in the heart of the lord of Chu, the better you are, the more contradictory the lord of Chu is, and the more invisibly biased towards Chu Chao, who has achieved nothing. In fact, this silk has not been out of the Chu State, and has been placed in the treasury of the Chu State, because we found that the development of things was not as Xiu Niangniang expected, so we sent people to guard the treasury, hoping that this silk silk could be discovered by the Lord of Chu or by you. It's just a pity ......"
Mo Chen said lightly.
How Chu Sheng has been doing over the years, Shadowless Valley is clear, and Chu Sheng has saved the day several times, firstly, because of his own intelligence and opportunities, and because of the secret help of the people of Shadowless Valley. That's it, there's no need to talk about it.
"There is a person by my side, she has served the queen, and she has also delivered me and Chu Chao......" Chu Sheng muttered.
"When I go back, show her this silk, and she will naturally understand." Ink dust answered.
"Regardless, I should thank you for Shadowless Valley." Chu Sheng, who calmed down, finally returned to his normal tone.
"No need, I still say the same thing, join forces with Qinglan to become a big dream in your heart." Mo Chen's words were concise and to the point.
"This silk silk is what Shadowless Valley should give me, Mo Chen, you use this matter to negotiate terms with me? It's ridiculous. Chu Sheng snorted coldly.
"You're wrong, I'm paving the way for you." Mo Chen opened the folding fan with a snap, said idly, and winked at Mo Qinglan after speaking.
Mo Qinglan held the sword and was expressionless.
