At this time, Ji Wan was really surprised.

No concubine? How is it possible, when the king of Chu ascended the throne, although there were no concubines, there were already a lot of concubines, and none of these concubines could not be concubines.

As if seeing the surprise in Chi Wan's eyes, the little chamberlain said again, "This is true, our Majesty, is still just one person now." ”

"That'...... Won't the ministers rush it? Chi Wan's curiosity was like a cat's paw, and she couldn't wait to find an answer.

Since returning to Dongxuan Kingdom again, many things she has seen and heard have greatly surprised her. Especially this King of Chu, he seems to be a completely different person, and Chi Wan doesn't know him completely.

The little chamberlain smiled and whispered, "That's not the case, the ministers are naturally very anxious, but Your Majesty is not in a hurry, since the father of a side concubine told her that she should find a way to keep Your Majesty so that she can give birth to the prince as soon as possible, Your Majesty has condemned this concubine and her family to the southernmost side." ”

Hearing this, a hint of thought flashed in Chi Wan's eyes, the king of Chu was afraid of his relatives' dictatorship if he didn't set up a queen for a long time? But isn't this a choking waste? Just because he was afraid, he dismissed the entire harem. You must know that the harem has always been closely related to the previous dynasty, and it affects the whole body. Without a harem, it is equivalent to one less bargaining chip for checks and balances, and the King of Chu is actually willing to do it?

She thought about it for a while and couldn't help asking, "What about the other side concubines?" Your Majesty, as the king of a country, can't you live without someone to accompany you, right? "Not everyone will want that position, there are always some who are in peace, can't they stay?

The little chamberlain's expression became a little terrifying, and he didn't seem to want to say much, "There's a latrine ahead, madam, go over quickly." ”

"Father-in-law." Ji Wan stood up and smiled at him, "Thank you for telling me this, it's troublesome." ”

The little chamberlain nodded in a panic and left in a hurry.

Chi Wan was still thinking about the question just now, when she mentioned other side concubines, why was the expression of the little chamberlain so strange, as if she had thought of something very bad.

Don't...... Those concubines also persecuted the King of Chu together? This shouldn't be a big probability, right?

When he returned to his seat with a full question, the King of Chu finally came over, and Chi Wan saw that he had not changed much, but the momentum of his body was much stronger than before, which made people a little scared for no reason and did not dare to approach.

The attitude of the king of Chu towards the envoys of Shanglin State was very contemptuous, and he even said a few words from time to time to ridicule, but the envoys pretended not to hear it and silently covered up the past.

The king of Chu felt a little bored, and he had a whim, and said to the envoy group, "I heard that all of you people in the forest country can sing and dance, can you send someone to perform for me, Lord Envoy?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.

The envoy group represents the face of the Shanglin Kingdom, and the King of Chu directly said that let the envoy perform, isn't this just the face of the Lin Kingdom. The faces of the envoys were very ugly for a moment, as if they were enduring something.

On the other hand, the ministers of Dongxuan Kingdom all coaxed, "Yes, Your Majesty is right, the old minister also heard that even the monarch of Shanglin Kingdom is extremely good at dancing, why don't you also show your hand and let us open our eyes?" ”

The messenger still had a smile on his face, but his back was straight and stiff, and at a glance he could tell that he was not at peace at the moment.

"Your Majesty, I'm already seventy or eighty years old, I'm really sorry, I can't dance for you." The envoy said with a wry smile.

King Chu's expression was dark, and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

Seeing this, the minister of Dongxuanguo hurriedly said, "You person, why are you so blind, Your Majesty made this request when I heard that all of you can sing and dance, I don't think you can't, but you don't want to dance for Your Majesty, right?" This is a bit difficult for a strong man.

Xie Yutang looked at it coldly, he wanted to know which minister in the court was so arrogant.

But at a glance, I found that it was a minister with a face, it seems that since he left, the king of Chu has completely controlled the court, and the ministers of the court have undergone a major change, and most of the people here now are unknown to him, and it is estimated that the king of Chu was promoted later. I also know that these people must be loyal to the King of Chu.

The envoy looked around with some embarrassment, because he really didn't want to have trouble with Dongxuanguo, so he wanted to meet the request of the king of Chu, but as soon as he stood up, the king of Chu waved his hand happily, "Forget it, the adults really don't seem to be very good at dancing, it's because I want to go wrong." ”

Hearing this, instead of feeling relaxed, the envoy felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Fortunately, the king of Chu did not mention this topic again later, but only raised a glass to persuade him to drink, looking like he was happy.

This banquet was not eaten for a long time, it was over in about an hour, and the king of Chu only stayed for less than a quarter of an hour before leaving, and the rest was that the ministers of the Eastern Xuan Kingdom had been persuading them to drink, and under the staggered planning, they successfully made the envoys drunk.

"Tsk, a small country is a small country, I don't understand the slightest bit of etiquette, righteousness and shame, and I'm still drunk in someone else's country, send people back." It wasn't just one minister who showed disdainful taunts.

Chi Wan was pretending to be drunk, and when she heard these words, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Xie Yutang was even angrier than her, his fingers clenched into fists, and it looked like he was about to rush up and fight hard, Chi Wan caught a glimpse of this scene, and hurriedly grabbed Xie Yutang's hand and shook his head at him.

This is not a good time to have an attack, and if they really make trouble here, maybe they won't be able to go back to Shanglin Kingdom. For someone like the King of Chu, it's not worth it.

With the statement of the people above, the guards were not very dedicated, and they only sent people to the gate of the palace and left.

Xie Yutang didn't care about anything at this time, he changed his drunken appearance just now, and stood straight, with anger hidden in his eyes, "How can this be reasonable, I'll go to him to settle accounts!" ”

"Yutang, calm down, even if you want to go to him now, I'm afraid that before anyone sees him, he will be arrested by the guards. Don't be stupid, come back with me. Ji Wan forcibly dragged people into the carriage.

Xie Yutang was obviously angry, his forehead was bruised, and his eyes were bloodshot. The utensils on the carriage were all prepared, and Chi Wan poured him a cup of tea and let him drink the wine.

Xie Yutang drank it in one gulp, put the bowl on the table heavily, and his face was extremely pale, "He obviously did it on purpose, Shanglin Kingdom came to pay tribute, he actually humiliated the envoy so much, he has never seen such an emperor." ”

Chi Wan also felt that what the King of Chu had done was really a bit excessive, and she had lost the demeanor of a big country, but she also knew that sometimes it was impossible to be fair, and whoever was powerful had the right to speak, and it was obvious that Shanglin Kingdom was not as important as the canary he raised in the eyes of the King of Chu. Life and death, all in his thoughts.

"In the final analysis, Shanglin Country is not strong enough." Chi Wan sighed faintly.

Xie Yutang rubbed his forehead with his hand, his expression was a little painful, seeing this, Chi Wan hurriedly sat down and helped him gently rub it, "Do you have a headache?" ”

"Okay." said so, but Xie Yutang's expression still couldn't hide his tiredness.

After being quiet for a while, Chi Wan pondered and said, "I inquired about something inside. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yutang couldn't help but turn his head sideways at her, "Huh? ”

"The king of Chu has not yet established a queen, and there is not a single concubine in the harem." Chi Wan told Xie Yutang all the news she heard, and finally said, "Where did you say those side concubines went?" ”

Before the king of Chu ascended the throne, there were many side concubines in the backyard, but none of those people were seen in the palace now.

"Let's go back tomorrow." Xie Yutang finally made a decision.

Chi Wan nodded, and said, "I really didn't expect that the King of Chu was such a person, and he didn't even have a queen, and when I first heard it, I couldn't believe my ears." ”

Xie Yutang sneered, "It's normal, judging by what he did, he has a great desire for power, and he is eager to hold everything in his hands, and once he is the queen, it means that he wants to share a part of the power, how can he be willing?" ”

"Or do you know him." Chi Wan complimented.

Xie Yutang shook his head, his expression was a little remorseful, "I don't know him, otherwise, I wouldn't have cooperated with him in the first place." ”

I thought that the prince was the most annoying, but I didn't expect that there was such a person hidden behind.

Chi Wan knew that he was uncomfortable, and patted his hand comfortingly, "Okay, don't think about it, this is really not your reason, who knows people and faces but doesn't know their hearts, who knew that King Chu could be so forbearant for the sake of the throne." ”

She whispered softly, making Xie Yutang slowly calm down.

The carriage swayed in the dark, full of different people's thoughts.

The two went out together to find out the news, and they really found the truth.

It turned out that the homes of those side concubines are now gone, and they could have been able to be side concubines for the King of Chu, and their families are also good, more or less of them are members of the court, but the strange thing is that these people have all disappeared.

If it is simply that a concubine is gone, it can be explained, so many people are gone together, it is too terrifying.

Fortunately, although the king of Chu has established an unprecedented supervision system, as mentioned earlier, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, he wants to block everyone's mouth, and wants everyone to submit to him, and it is not enough to rely on means alone.

Because of King Chu's excessively extreme way, many people remembered his very spicy style, and Chi Wan didn't even bother much when they asked about the whereabouts of the side concubine. The person who told them the answer, although he was afraid of Dongchang, his eyes were full of disgust.

The truth also made Ji Wan not come back to her senses for a long time. All of them died, thousands of people, and none of them survived.
