On the other side, the Nine Princes were also paying attention to their every move in prison.

"How is the situation of King Chu?" The Nine Princes asked the guards, and he had placed eyeliner in the prison and connected with the jailer so that he could know what was going on in the prison.

The guards just learned about the situation this morning, and when they heard it, they said, "The situation of the King of Chu has improved, and there should be no danger to his life at present, but ......"

"But what?"

"But it's hard to say after a long time."

The Nine Princes pursed their lips and said nothing, but an anxious look appeared in his eyes.

In the palace, after the emperor dealt with things, he didn't know where to go for a while, stood on the steps and was stunned for a long time, and saw that the sky was about to rain, and his mood was even more depressed, so he raised his feet and walked outside.

Xiao Anzi followed behind, and when he saw that this direction was neither going back to the dormitory, nor going to the residence of the harem concubines, but it was a bit like going to the direction of the prayer tower, he was a little confused, and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, it's going to rain this day, it's better to go back to the dormitory as soon as possible to rest." ”

The emperor ignored him, but sped up his pace, Xiao Anzi had no choice but to let people prepare the imperial chariot for the emperor's ride at any time. Halfway through, it rained.

"Your Majesty, go back to the palace quickly." Xiao Anzi was so anxious that he beckoned the palace people to hurry up and hold an umbrella for the emperor. But the emperor waved his umbrella away and went straight into the prayer tower.

This prayer tower is a place where the emperor often came to pray for the peace of the country and the people, and the royal family can last for thousands of generations. In addition, this prayer tower is the tallest building in the palace, and standing on it, you can overlook the entire capital. The emperor often climbed to the highest level, looking at his country with pride.

Now, the emperor is also standing where the former emperor stood, but he is not a little proud in his heart, but more desolate.

He stood in the highest position, he killed his own father, his hands were stained with the blood of his father and brothers, in fact, this is nothing, since ancient times, who has sat on the throne has not walked the road paved with blood? But why, I felt a little dazed in my heart.

"You snubbed me and suppressed me, did you ever think that there would be such a day?" The Emperor said coldly. There was nothing in front of him, and he was clearly speaking to the air.

But the emperor didn't mind at all, and mockingly hooked the corners of his mouth, "Since I was a child, you haven't given me fatherly love, why should I feel guilty for your death?" Now, this world is mine, everyone has to surrender to me, the king of Chu you like, haha, he is on death row, and soon, I will execute him and let him accompany you under the Yellow Spring. ”

"It's okay, don't you like him, I will fulfill you, hahaha." The Emperor burst out laughing, like madness.

The palace people were frightened, Xiao Anzi was sad, the prince became the emperor, but he was still unhappy, he would come like this from time to time, and sometimes he would often be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, he knew that he must be in pain in his heart, but no one confided in.

Thinking of this, Xiao Anzi sighed silently and said softly, "Your Majesty, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, why don't you go to the palace next to you to rest for a while." ”

The emperor gave him a cold look, "No, go to the heavenly prison to see my good brother." ”

Xiao Anzi realized that he was talking about the King of Chu, and was shocked, "Your Majesty, it is raining so hard, it is better to go another day." ”

"It's not your turn to put your beak in my decision." The Emperor walked straight into the rain.

In the prison, King Chu's health was slightly better than a few days ago, and he was already able to sit up, he coughed lightly, took out the medicine given to him by the middle-aged jailer, and poured some into his mouth, the person who gave him the medicine was very thoughtful, and directly made the medicine into pills, otherwise he was in prison, and he really couldn't drink it.

As soon as the small package was hidden, Qi Shu suddenly knelt on the ground outside, "Slave see Your Majesty." ”

The king of Chu sat up straight, the emperor is here?

The emperor strode in, his body seemed to be drenched in rain, and he was a little embarrassed, but his expression was very fierce, and his eyes were like wolves.

King Chu was secretly shocked in his heart, where was he stimulated?

"Open the door!" The emperor commanded coldly.

The jailer did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the door, and the emperor stepped in step by step, until he walked in front of the king of Chu, he stopped and looked down at the king of Chu condescendingly.

"Didn't you say you're going to die, why are you okay?" The Emperor's voice seemed to be wrapped in a layer of ice.

The cell boss hurriedly said, "Back to Your Majesty, he was really sick a few days ago and couldn't get up, and I don't know what happened in the past few days, but he suddenly got better again." ”

"Heh, King Chu, you are really fateful." The emperor leaned over, pinched the chin of the King of Chu, and looked fierce, "Why can't you die?" ”

The king of Chu was extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't even have the strength to knock his hand off, and just looked at the emperor with a compassionate gaze. This kind of sight made the emperor quite embarrassed, and that look seemed to see the fragility in his heart. He was annoyed and said angrily, "You dare to look at me directly? ”

The king of Chu coughed lightly twice, his expression without sadness or joy.

"You speak to me!" The emperor was dissatisfied again. When the king of Chu spoke, he felt unpleasant, and when the king of Chu did not speak, he felt contempt for himself, and the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.

King Chu lowered his eyelids and said weakly, "What does the imperial brother want me to say?" ”

"Tell me about how comfortable you are in this prison?" The corners of the Emperor's mouth curled up with a wicked expression.

"It's fine." Knowing that the other party was humiliating himself, King Chu spit out two words without being shocked.

"Okay? Then stay until you go and meet your father, what do you think? A flash of murderous intent erupted in the emperor's eyes.

The King of Chu stared at him quietly, with pain in his eyes, as well as a dazed and painful look that could not be dissolved, "Brother Huang, stop." ”

"Stop, what are you talking about?" The emperor sneered, quite disdainful of the words of the king of Chu.

King Chu took a breath, shook his head and said, "Stop, you torture us, do you feel good in your own heart?" My father is gone, and your goal has been achieved, so why do you still insist on doing this? ”

"Why? You ask me why, hahahaha. The Emperor burst out laughing, madly and heartily.

The king of Chu just looked at him and did not interrupt, and suddenly, the emperor stopped and stared at the king of Chu viciously, "I tell you why, I want to climb to this position, trample you all under your feet, fiercely, and never turn over." ”

"Then you've got your wish."

"Nope." The emperor tugged at the corners of his mouth, shook his head and said, "No, this is not enough, I want you to cry and beg me, let you live and not die, especially you, His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ”

The king of Chu felt very strange, he thought that he was friendly to his brother, and he had never offended the prince, why did the prince have such a great hatred for him.

If it is said that it is the final battle for the jade seal, it is because it was forced by the prince. He imprisoned his father in the palace, all kinds of perverse acts, as a prince, the king of Chu naturally couldn't bear it.

"You know how much I hated you when I was younger, I hated you to die." The emperor grinded his back molars viciously.

Although his mother is the queen, she has never been favored by her father, and he also has the title of the crown prince, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is just an unfavored prince. The emperor's favorite person is the king of Chu.

The emperor still remembers that when he was a child, he studied with the king of Chu, and the Taifu arranged a strategy, and he wrote better than the king of Chu, but the first emperor praised the king of Chu and criticized him.

He never understood why the emperor had always been stingy with a smile in front of him.

When the emperor thought of this, his heart was full of resentment.

"Why, why are you all the children of your father, and you get his love, and I, I can't even get a gentle word, why?!" The Emperor asked.

King Chu felt incredible, pulled the corners of his mouth, and looked at the other party strangely, "Do you think your father treats you badly?" ”

"Isn't it?" The emperor said sarcastically, "Just because your mother is his favorite, and she has never forgotten it for many years, and even with a lot of care for you, I am the prince and the heir of Zheng'er, and he has never seen me in his eyes." ”

The more the emperor spoke, the more he felt angry in his heart, his eyes became red, and with a force of his hand, he directly lifted the king of Chu up.

"Why, you say?"

The king of Chu was short of breath, and he was so tossed by him that he almost lost half his life, and he didn't have the strength to resist at all.

The emperor threw him heavily on the ground, causing the king of Chu to cough violently.

"You...... Cough...... You misunderstood your father, he was ...... For your good. The king of Chu clutched his chest and coughed so hard that his liver and intestines were broken.

The emperor sneered, for his good? For his good, is it to suppress the power of the mother clan? Let him feel that he is trembling as a prince, and he feels that he is going to be abolished at any time?

"He is good to you, and you naturally speak for him, but you don't want to convince me with these words."

Looking at the emperor who was bound by memories, King Chu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, this imperial brother is too paranoid.

"Since ancient times, in order to prevent the power of the queen's maternal family from being too powerful, the emperor will inevitably take measures to restrain you, not just against you, but precisely because your father values you too much."

The emperor choked in his heart, and reason told him that what the king of Chu said was right. It's just that he doesn't want to admit it.

He always remembered that when he was a child, when he went to the harem to ask for peace, the queen mother looked depressed and unhappy, and often looked in the direction of the palace gate. He was young at that time, he didn't understand the queen mother's thoughts, and naively asked what the queen mother was waiting for. At this time, the queen mother would put her arms around him and say to him, "I only have you, child, you have to fight and don't let the queen mother down." ”

If you think about it, many of his thoughts were actually instilled in him by his mother.

Earlier, he also longed for his father, and although he didn't have so much time to spend with him, as long as his father showed a little smile, he could be happy all day.
