Chapter 54 Reinstatement
Death, he is not afraid, but he will never let himself die at the hands of such a person, this is his greatest shame.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, since it is natural to want to drink, however, the imperial brother is now a prisoner, how can he be on an equal footing with His Royal Highness the Prince." As he spoke, the king of Chu took the wine glass aside, gently raised the wine glass, and drank it all.
Seeing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.
Drink it all.
Xie Yutang got the holy decree and was going to go to the prison to rescue the King of Chu, but when he just came out, he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had gone to find the King of Chu, Xie Yutang was shocked, and it would definitely not be a good thing to go to find it at this time.
Hurry up to the prison.
"Brother Huang still remembers that at the beginning, the queen mother was not kind to you, how could you do something to harm the queen mother." The prince went down with a glass of wine, and there was a hint of crimson on his face.
The King of Chu stood aside with cold eyes and looked at him quietly.
Only he knows that the queen is kind to him, the queen is a good queen, a mother in the world, and treats anyone as if she were her own child.
This is what he respects the most, how could he harm her.
"The royal brother has not done it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still pays attention to your words and deeds. The King of Chu said in a deep voice, and there was a hint of anger on his handsome facial features. He won't admit what he hasn't done.
This is true even if you are deep in a cage.
The crown prince stood up, walked to the side of the king of Chu, looked at him face to face, and clearly saw the anger in the eyes of the king of Chu, and his body also exuded the aura of someone who should have belonged to the royal family.
The prince's originally smiling eyes gradually converged, but what emerged was a cold chill.
In temperament, the two are comparable.
"Why, it's clear that the crown prince was born to the queen, and you are just a concubine, but your father favors you so much." The prince's eyes were fixed on him, and he wanted to kill him with his eyes.
So that the throne will always be his.
Even if the father is unwilling, it can only be his.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no matter who the emperor's brother was born to, after all, he is the son of his father, and no one can change this." King Chu never felt how fortunate he was to be in the emperor's house, and being in the emperor's house was more of a last resort.
And the same is true of the person in front of him, isn't this just the last time to visit him?
"The Divine Decree has arrived."
The sudden sound made everyone in the cell stunned.
When King Chu heard this, his eyes showed surprise, and Xie Yutang came.
The prince's face was gloomy, but here he had to hide his dissatisfaction.
"The king of Chu took the order." Xie Yutang walked in directly from the outside, ignoring the existence of the crown prince.
No matter who is here, they must kneel down to receive orders, even the crown prince should be like this.
"The retainers take the order."
The king of Chu, the crown prince and the other eunuchs all knelt on the ground, and even the jailers outside also knelt down.
"Fengtian carrier, in the matter of the king of Chu poisoning the queen, there are other people, from now on, the king of Chu will resume his official position from now on, and thoroughly investigate this matter, and I will do this."
Xie Yutang recited the holy decree expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "King Chu, you haven't accepted the decree yet. β
"Thank you, the emperor, and the sons will take the order." The king of Chu knelt on the ground with his hands on it, and Xie Yutang directly put the holy decree in his hands.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, go back immediately now, everything in the palace is ready." Xie Yutang's voice was very soft, and it was not difficult to hear the excitement in his tone.
Now he has finally done it, and he can get him out of prison in the open.
The prince's face can be blackened.
However, it is not without gain.
When the king of Chu saw his gloomy face, he was also a little more happy in his heart, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can come to greet this king, and this king is really flattered. β
"The royal brother is polite, I didn't expect the prince to watch a good show, in the end, the domestic 'slave' and outsiders can't be compared after all, now the royal brother has come out, investigate the poisoning of the queen mother, the royal brother has to do his best. Otherwise, he will live up to his father's expectations. β
God knows how hard the prince is enduring now, and he began to proclaim himself 'this king' as soon as he came out, feeling that he came out this time to welcome him.
"Naturally, this time, this king will definitely not tolerate anyone who commits adultery." The strong voice of the king of Chu spread throughout the cell, as if he was swearing that something was an oath.
Since you can come back to life, you have to cherish it.
The prince sneered and left with the people.
Xie Yutang and the others saluted in the back and said in unison: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince." β
When the prince heard this, his stomach hurt even more, he didn't see them saluting him when he read the holy decree before, and now he is still saluting when he leaves, isn't this just driving him away?
"King Chu, go back, everyone is waiting for you." Xie Yutang asked people to clean the palace of the king of Chu when he left the palace, and the previous servants were all in his house, and now it is time to go back.
King Chu patted him on the shoulder, everything was silent, and he didn't want to say anything superfluous.
In the Chu Palace, when the white housekeeper heard that the King of Chu had come out, he hurriedly asked the minions to clean up inside and out, and those minions did not dare to slack off.
When the king of Chu returned to the mansion, he saw those servants and maids, all standing in the courtyard, all of them looking excited.
Xie Yutang and King Chu glanced at each other, and there was no need to say anything.
At night, the palace of the king of Chu was unusually lively, and now everyone knows that the king of Chu is back, so he naturally wants to have a drink.
King Chu took the wine glass and toasted Xie Yutang, and said, "Yutang, thank you this time." β
"You're welcome, King Chu, I should save you." Xie Yutang said and drank it all.
If you really want to talk about it, you have to thank Wan'er, if he hadn't seen things so thoroughly, he wouldn't have thought of this opportunity to let the emperor release the king of Chu.
"That's different, when I first went in, this king may not come out, how could the prince be ruthless and let this king survive in prison, if it wasn't for your people to protect this king, I'm afraid this king is already a pile of white bones now." What the King of Chu said was sincere, and he remembered this kindness.
"King Chu, if I go in one day, will you save me?"
"Of course." The King of Chu laughed.
"That's it, since that's the case, there's no need to be so polite." Xie Yutang took a sip of wine, and suddenly remembered the peach blossom brew that Wan'er gave him. Because she gave it to her, she didn't want to drink it, so she tasted it when she went back.
"By the way, why did the prince suddenly see you today." Xie Yutang almost forgot about it.
The king of Chu took a sip of wine, and his clear eyes were as calm as a lake, without a trace of waves. "He's here to kill me, of course."
Xie Yutang's hand paused, and he turned his head sideways to look at the calm King of Chu.
"I believe that the Prince's Mansion should be in chaos now." The king of Chu poured himself a glass of wine, and the calm lake in his eyes rippled layer by layer, making people have a chilling illusion.
Xie Yutang didn't say anything when he saw this, the prince would definitely be angry, he wanted to kill the king of Chu, but now he can't steal chickens and rice.
In the court, civil and military officials are on both sides, one side is the civil official, and the other side is the military attachΓ©.
The crown prince stood at the bottom of the throne, his face gloomy, he had lost a lot of weight overnight, his eyes were full of red blood, and his thin lips were chapped.
Xie Yutang stood below the emperor and happened to be standing face to face with the prince, naturally knowing his state today.
"The King of Chu has arrived." A voice came from the door of the main hall.
Many ministers were stunned, and they all lowered their heads and discussed, you look at me, I look at yours, isn't the king of Chu in prison? How did it end up here?
When the crown prince heard the name of the king of Chu, his face sank again.
Yesterday he drugged his wine glass, I don't know when he was actually poisoned, if he hadn't found out in advance yesterday, he would have died of anger now.
The ministers didn't see the prince's face, and they all turned their eyes to the outside of the hall.
Seeing that the King of Chu was dressed in a purple official robe, embroidered with three real dragons, his black sword eyebrows were slightly wrinkled together, his thin lips were pursed, his eyes like a lake were staring at the front tightly, and his body exuded a powerful aura, and every step he took made the minister feel a trace of depression unconsciously.
"Long live my father, long live, long live." The strong voice echoed in the hall, clearly reaching everyone's hearts, so that he could clearly see that he was back now.
The emperor looked at the king of Chu, his eyes were more gratified, this son is his favorite, if it weren't for the prince being the eldest son and born in the main palace, he would not have established the prince early.
"Flat."
"Thank you, Father." King Chu stood up straight, walked directly to the side, and stood with Xie Yutang.
His eyes were on the prince.
The prince's face was plain, but his hands were gripping the chair tightly.
"After investigation, the king of Chu murdered the queen by someone else, and now the king of Chu has officially returned to the court and continues to deal with the previous matter." The emperor suddenly spoke, but his eyes observed everyone's expressions.
"Yes, Father." The King of Chu knelt on the ground and saluted, his expression even more solemn than ever.
Many ministers lowered their heads, especially the people who stood on the side of King Chu at the beginning, they were even more swaying, and now they have not yet made up their minds to go to His Royal Highness the Prince, but the intention is already obvious, if they don't go, then they will become teasing the prince, and the prince will know about it, can they still have a way to live?
At this time, many people regretted it more in their hearts, and some felt that it was really not the right time for the King of Chu to come out at this time.
Of course, the emperor knew what was in their hearts. swept towards the prince with his afterglow, the position in the lower left, and he really didn't look down on this scheming.
And he also knew that the crown prince had gone to the king of Chu, and he knew what he said without thinking about it.
"If there is nothing major, retreat." Anyway, what he did today was to let the king of Chu come out, so that those ambitious ministers could 'see' how to choose.
