The king of Chu is the emperor's favorite and the most capable prince in his heart, he works hard, distinguishes between good and evil, is democratic and virtuous, and has almost all the advantages that a king should have.

Since childhood, the emperor has been committed to cultivating the king of Chu, he has not been as attentive to any prince as he is, the king of Chu is his hope, and he is the person he most hopes to see who can sit on the throne in the end.

However, this child, the child he loved the most, was now cursing him, cursing him to death by witchcraft. This is the heaviest blow to both the emperor and a father.

The emperor didn't want to believe it, but he had to believe it, he raised his head in despair and took a deep breath. The chatter of the king of Chu, those words that justified himself, he didn't want to listen to it anymore, he just wanted to end it all as soon as possible.

Just as he waved his hand and was about to order the punishment of the King of Chu, Xie Yutang suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, slow down!" ”

Before, Xie Yutang was assigned by the King of Chu to inspect the ear room, but there was no gain, and when he came back to report the situation, he saw the scene in front of him.

The king of Chu knelt on the ground and appealed heartily, the emperor held something in his hand and scolded the king of Chu, although the prince also knelt on the ground but did not know what he was doing, and the queen stood by and watched.

Seeing this situation, he probably guessed that the king of Chu was in trouble, so he asked the eunuch who was guarding the door, and the eunuch said that the prince found a puppet, which was also engraved with the emperor's birthday, so he decided that the puppet fell from the king of Chu, and said that the king of Chu wanted to curse the emperor.

How could such a vicious technique be used by a kind-hearted person like King Chu? Xie Yutang immediately understood that while he was leaving, the prince would shift his target to the king of Chu, but fortunately, he was still in time to say a few words for the king of Chu when he came back now.

Seeing that he had just attracted everyone's attention with a loud shout, Xie Yutang strode forward and walked in front of the emperor to salute and said, "Your Majesty, can you lend the things in your hand to me and take a closer look?" ”

The emperor gave the thing to Xie Yutang, and Xie Yutang carefully identified and recognized that this was not the evidence of the cursed prince dug up from Mu Zhufeng's house back then? In an instant, he sorted everything out.

He glanced at the prince meaningfully, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that this incident happened strangely, and it was not the King of Chu's doing. ”

"What, the evidence is conclusive and you still want to deny it?" The prince was the first to jump out of the white question, and his tone of voice was also very hurried.

The emperor waved his hand to signal the prince not to interject, and said to Xie Yutang: "Tell me about it." ”

"Your Majesty, if you look closely at this puppet, you will find that there are two things wrong. First, if you really want to curse a person with witchcraft, this puppet is also exquisite. The puppet needs to be carved into the form of the Cursed in order to be effective. But your Majesty, this puppet is not even as good as the emperor's spirit, and it is clear that he looks like a weak scholar, where does the emperor's mighty spirit come from? ”

The emperor took the doll and looked at it carefully, and it was true that both his eyebrows and clothes were different from his own. He was a little skeptical in his heart, but motioned for Xie Yutang to continue.

"Your Majesty, secondly, look at whether the width of this doll is different before and after, and there are obvious traces of polishing, which is obviously a defective product that has been used before. As for who would use such a puppet to perform witchcraft, besides, there is no such thing in the palace anymore, and the last time it appeared was because of Mu Zhufeng, he ......"

Xie Yutang didn't continue, he carefully observed the emperor's expression, the emperor was studying the puppet in his hand at this moment, and he found that the back half of the puppet was indeed obviously thinner than the first half, and it was also rough to the touch, not as smooth as the front.

"There is another point, that is, the third, the emperor, if you want to practice witchcraft, will you bring the puppet so blatantly on your body? Unless it is a person who does not want to die, he will do this, but the king of Chu, he loves you so much, no matter which logic does it, it doesn't make sense for him to do it at this time. ”

Xie Yutang's tongue was bright, and he was about to convince the emperor as soon as he saw it, but the prince was anxious, and hurriedly wanted to continue to add: "Who knows what kind of villain the king of Chu is behind his back, father, don't listen to them, they are colluding!" ”

The emperor actually didn't believe in King Chu in his heart, such a gentle and elegant child would do something like witchcraft, he just wanted someone to convince him, and it just so happened that Xie Yutang was playing this role now.

What's more, he seems to believe most of it now, and he just needs to push it again. Xie Yutang saw all this in his eyes, and hurriedly spoke: "The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, how can you be taken by this little broken puppet, your emperor, you are the true son of the dragon, such an evil person as a disgusting puppet should be destroyed when he sees you, so why not make any threats to your life." ”

These words have already made the emperor's face a little better, this is not enough, everyone loves to listen to the language of praise, and now that the emperor is praised, it is naturally the turn of the king of Chu.

"Your Majesty, you have a lot of opportunities, if you can spend so much more time to know what His Royal Highness the King of Chu is doing on weekdays, you will know that he will never practice witchcraft in terms of friendship or morality!"

Xie Yutang gave the king of Chu a look, and the king of Chu hurriedly bowed down and said: "Father, the child respectfully obeys your teachings, and every day before asking his father to say goodbye, he will go to read the books recommended by his father to his sons for an hour, and then practice swords for two hours, just to not disappoint his father when he competes with his father next time!" ”

"The last time my father came to Erchen to play chess with Erchen, the chess game left by Erchen spent a whole day trying seventy-seven and forty-nine times, and finally solved it, and now the game of chess is still on Erchen's table unchanged; Erchen will also memorize his father's poetry collection, and Erchen really likes his father's poems very much. ”

The king of Chu recalled carefully for a few seconds, and then blurted out a verse: "If a man follows his life, he will read the six classics to the window." ”

Hearing this, the emperor was surprised, this is indeed a poem written by himself, it seems that the king of Chu does have ulterior motives when studying this aspect.

The emperor's heart was very moved, and the results of his efforts were recognized and learned by his son, which was the greatest success of a father. How could the emperor still care about the broken puppet in his hand at this moment, his sincere eyes on the king of Shangchu, and softly called out his milk name.

King Chu may not have heard the emperor call himself like this for a long time, and he still remembers that the last time was when he was a child, when his father was still his father. Like now, the communication between the two is more like a monarch and a minister, but it is negligent.

"Father!" The affectionate call of the two ignited the father-son love in their hearts, and they were immersed in the deep family affection between themselves and each other.

On the contrary, it was the crown prince, he was almost stunned by everything that was dramatic, and then he turned to glare at Xie Yutang, he was the-stirring stick of today's good show, if he hadn't done it, the king of Chu should have been in the dungeon at this moment.

Okay, this morning, a total of two schemes failed, looking at the emperor's current appearance, where would he punish the king of Chu heavily?

Indeed, just as the crown prince thought, the emperor cleared his throat and said the final decision: "Okay, this matter is over." ”

He threw the puppet to the eunuch on the side and said, "Give me this to burn, as for the king of Chu, he is not allowed to come out for a day in the house, so be it, I am really tired and have to rest." ”

"Father!" Next, no matter how the prince called the emperor, he ignored it, and the queen followed the emperor directly, and there were only three people left in the hall to confront each other for a while.

The prince looked at Xie Yutang viciously, if it weren't for the palace, he couldn't wait to take the lives of the two people in front of him and that Chi Wan in person. But he couldn't, the emperor's actions just now had already made him understand who was in his heart.

"Hmph, you're lucky this time, but Prince Ben won't give up!"

"Brother Huang, how far are you going to go?" The king of Chu questioned, "Don't be obsessed anymore!" ”

The prince's mood today is extremely bad, he no longer wants to talk nonsense with the two people in front of him, so he directly threw off his sleeves and left, and said angrily before leaving: "Hmph, let's see!" ”

After the prince left, the king of Chu also wanted to leave, but because he knelt for too long and couldn't move his steps, he almost fell down, but fortunately, Xie Yutang's timely support did not lead to disgrace, and the two slowly walked back to the residence of the king of Chu. Poisoned

In the room, Xie Yutang said to the King of Chu: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the ambition of the crown prince is increasing day by day, and we have to guard against it. ”

King Chu nodded, he didn't expect that the crown prince would openly frame himself today, if it wasn't for Xie Yutang's timely rescue, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You have merit today, and the king will definitely reward you well when you turn around, what you said makes sense, I didn't expect the prince to be impatient so soon."

"Your Highness, he has done more than this, in fact, I am guessing that he is also making trouble from the poisoning of today's banquet."

"Oh?" The king of Chu was puzzled, and then Xie Yutang told the king of Chu about Chi Wan's affairs, and then the king of Chu also understood a rough idea.

The two discussed countermeasures for a long time, and it was not until midnight that Xie Yutang left the residence of the king of Chu. The moon and stars are scarce, and even the palace lights are not on at this moment, except for the guards on night duty, there is no one else walking on this long road.

Xie Yutang walked slowly step by step, the soles of his feet tapping the floor and making a crisp snapping sound, but the sound made people feel more and more lonely.

After experiencing so many things all day today, Xie Yutang also felt tired, and he was naturally more worried about Chi Wan's safety. If Ji Wan had any accidents, he would never let go of the prince, and of course he wouldn't let himself go!

He secretly clenched his fists and bit his lower lip lightly, he only hoped that the prince would stop doing such things that hurt others and himself, and he would only suffer in the end.
