Without waiting for the king of Chu to say anything, the emperor smiled and said, "Lord Envoy, I will drink with you, my imperial brother is not very good at drinking." ”

The envoy's eyes widened in surprise, "The prince can't even drink?" ”

"The envoy smiled, just because he was allergic to alcohol since he was a child, he would have a lot of rashes when he drank it, and the pain was unbearable, so the imperial brother did not let the minister drink alcohol."

The envoy glanced at the emperor enviously, "The prince is really a brother with His Majesty." ”

The emperor smiled, and his voice carried a rare tenderness, "I grew up with the king of Chu since childhood, and I said when I was young that it was necessary to govern the country together, and now that my father is gone, I naturally can't break my word, otherwise, under my father's nine springs, there will be no peace." ”

When the ministers below heard the emperor's words, their expressions were very subtle.

I don't know how the emperor said these words, he obviously hated the king of Chu to the core, and he still couldn't change his face. Sure enough, an emperor is an emperor.

After hearing this, the envoys praised again and again, and the king of Chu had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"Your Majesty's situation is really rare, I heard that many emperors are suspicious of their brothers, once they take the throne, they will definitely attack their brothers, it seems that Your Majesty is not such a person." The envoy's tone was sincere, as if he was really sighing for the friendship between the emperor and the king of Chu.

"Brother Huang is not such a foolish person, he treats our brothers very well." The king of Chu bowed slightly, and did not seem to hear the deep meaning of the envoy's words.

Hearing King Chu speak, the Nine Princes on the side also hurriedly echoed, "That's right, what the envoy said does not exist among our brothers. ”

The envoy's gaze swirled back and forth among the several people, and his heart was a little confused.

The emperor was very satisfied with the cooperation of the king of Chu, and specially gave a bowl of stewed pigeon in front of him to the king of Chu, and the brothers were in harmony.

Except for the courtiers who knew about it, no one would know that the former King of Chu was still locked up in the heavenly prison by the one above. However, everyone doesn't say anything, and this scene is something that everyone likes to see.

But the envoy seemed to be very interested in the king of Chu, and always paid attention to the movements of the king of Chu, and when he saw that he didn't eat much, he asked with concern, "The prince's appetite doesn't seem to be very good, and you don't seem to have tasted the stewed pigeon in the next place?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's eyes immediately shot like knives.

It was the king of Chu who smiled calmly, "The things rewarded by the imperial brother, this king must save them until the end and taste them slowly." ”

"I see." The envoy laughed twice, and the emperor handed over a look that counted you as interested, and the king of Chu looked back at each other calmly, and the eyes of the two were separated in the air.

"Is the prince sick? Looking at the prince below, it seems that he has lost a lot? The envoy didn't seem to want to let the king of Chu go like this, and asked with a little doubt.

King Chu smiled lightly and said, "That's right, I was seriously ill just now, but now I'm much better." If a person eats whole grains, how can he not get sick? ”

"That's right, but the prince still has to take care of his health, after all, your importance in your country is self-evident."

"Thank you for your concern, Xiao Wang will definitely do it."

The two of you have been back and forth for a few rounds, and the king of Chu has not leaked, and his expression has not shown the slightest discomfort, and the emperor gradually relaxed when he looked at it.

The palace banquet was held until very late, and the envoys seemed very happy and praised the banquet, and the emperor was impatient, but he still had to maintain a smile on his face, and called the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the Marquis of Wen Yuan to send people back to the post house.

Who knew that the envoy waved his hand and set his eyes on the king of Chu, "No, no, no, I am bold, and ask the king of Chu to send me a ride, I don't know if the prince is willing?" ”

The king of Chu did not answer immediately, took a sip of the teacup, but kept paying attention to the emperor's instructions in the corner of his eyes, the emperor didn't want to agree, but in front of everyone, if he didn't agree, it would inevitably seem too stingy, and it was easy to make the envoy suspicious, so he forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said, "In this way, the emperor, you will send one to the envoy for me." ”

The king of Chu stood up and arched his hand with kindness, "Brother obeys." ”

Who knows, with such a move, the wide cuffs slipped all the way to the elbows, revealing a bony arm and bruises on the arm.

Although the king of Chu reacted quickly and pulled down his sleeves to cover the past, the envoy still saw it, and the surprise in his eyes was fleeting.

"Your Excellency, please." The king of Chu stretched out his hand to invite.

The envoy bowed slightly, glanced at the King of Chu deeply, and took the lead in walking outside the hall.

The emperor looked at the figures of the two people, and always felt a little strange, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and ordered the imperial guards, "Go, follow them." ”

The royal guards took the order and left.

In fact, the king of Chu didn't delay much, and he didn't say anything to the envoys, he just sent people outside and turned back. As a result, before he could take a few steps, he fainted and fell to the ground.

The king of Chu was carried back, and the emperor also heard the news, but he didn't care, now the role of the king of Chu is gone, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive, where can he still pay attention to him?

On the contrary, after hearing that the king of Chu fainted, there was still some vague joy in his heart, it was better to die like this, and the ministers would not be nagging in their ears every day.

He sent the imperial physician to take a casual look, and then ignored it. Because he drank some wine today, Xiao Anzi served him to lie down and rest in the palace.

The emperor lay on the large dragon bed and fell asleep in a daze. In a trance, seeing the King of Chu standing in front of him, his cold eyes seemed to see through his heart, and he couldn't help but be furious, "How dare you appear here, I didn't summon you over, people, come quickly!" ”

This strange scene made the emperor frightened, his bedroom could be broken in at will, so if someone wanted to kill him, it would not be easy.

After calling for a long time, no one came, the palace people seemed to have disappeared, and the silence inside and outside the house was terrifying. The king of Chu looked at him with disdain, sat down on the couch by the window, and looked each other up and down with a contemptuous look.

This kind of look made the emperor feel a little uncomfortable, he didn't even wear a coat, staggered out of bed, and said sharply, "King Chu, are you bold, don't you even listen to my words!" ”

"Why should I listen to you, anyway, you won't be the emperor for long." The king of Chu slowly straightened his sleeves.

The emperor was taken aback, "What did you say?" ”

"Didn't you notice that the envoy had already noticed that something was wrong, hehe, I thought I was well disguised, and your reputation for killing your father and brother had already spread." The King of Chu spoke mockingly, and a cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

The emperor was like being struck by lightning, his lips kept trembling, and he pointed at the king of Chu tremblingly, "You...... Did you do it on purpose? ”

The King of Chu hooked the corners of his mouth meaningfully, he no longer paid attention to the emperor, but looked at the emperor's usual reading, and commented on it with a focused expression......

He opened his eyes suddenly, it was just a dream, but the more the emperor thought about it, the more wrong it became, he carefully recalled the demeanor and demeanor of the two of them, and secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, he really shouldn't have released the king of Chu.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but sigh, called someone over, and ordered, "Now go and arrest the king of Chu immediately and kill him on the spot!" ”

The Dark Guard arched his hand and was about to leave.

Xiao Anzi anxiously dissuaded, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?" The prince just showed up in front of everyone today, and if something suddenly happened, wouldn't the ministers make you uneasy again? ”

The emperor made a move, and did not insist on letting people kill the king of Chu, but the killing intent in his eyes did not subside in the slightest.

If you can't kill him for the time being, it doesn't mean that you can't in the future, and if you really want to kill the King of Chu, you don't necessarily have to let him do it, just find a reason at will, such as a killer or something.

The emperor smiled coldly, and his mood was slightly better.

In the prison, Chi Wan knew that King Chu had gone out, but she didn't know what was going on outside.

On this day, the two jailers sat together and chatted with each other.

"I heard that a few days ago, the envoys of Chengguo came over, and His Majesty held a banquet to entertain them, but it was lively, but unfortunately we didn't have a chance to take a look."

"Tsk, I don't even want to go to this kind of scene, the envoys are not sincere, the country that still wants to fight with us before, come and set up a banquet to release the suspicions, who will be affected." The cell boss poured a mouthful of burning knives, "I heard that this time I came to visit Your Majesty, but in fact, I came to inquire about the news." ”

"It's really fake, then why does Your Majesty still entertain him?" When the jailer heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.

The news is better than the other party, and there is a hint of pride in the eyes of the cell leader, "Alas, in this situation, where are we the opponents of Chengguo, besides, Chengguo has also united several small countries together, if we really dare to fight, we will definitely suffer." ”

A flash of inspiration flashed in the jailer's mind, "I understand, Your Majesty released the King of Chu in order to perform a scene for the envoys of Chengguo?" ”

"Shhh, be quiet, almost, anyway, Chengguo sees that the King of Chu is fine now, and the court is not as much as said outside, so he is still a little jealous." The cell boss lowered his voice and looked around vigilantly. Guessing the emperor's thoughts in vain, if you spread it, you will lose your head.

The jailer obviously realized his gaffe, closed his mouth, and after a long while, he quietly asked, "Then this King of Chu, will he still come in?" ”

He had tortured the King of Chu a lot before, but now that the King of Chu had gone out, the jailer was afraid that he would retaliate, so he asked carefully.

The cell boss glanced at him with a smile, "I said it a long time ago, let you be nice to others, you don't listen, even if the King of Chu goes to the prison, after all, he is still His Majesty's brother, it's hard to say whether he can come in, for the time being, it won't be anyway, it is said that he was imprisoned somewhere else." ”
