The next day, a nursery rhyme spread in the market, which swept the entire capital with lightning speed, and even the emperor heard about it. The low pressure in the Heart Cultivation Hall continued to spread, and the eunuchs and palace maids all watched their noses and noses, trying to keep their sense of existence to a minimum, for fear that the emperor would spill his anger on them.

Looking at the music in front of him, the emperor's brows furrowed more and more, "A bunch of waste!" It's all a cliché that is scared, and it is because of such a group of moths that the imperial court has raised such a group of moths, and my Dongxuan Kingdom cannot prosper! ”

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve sharply, and all the twists and turns were scattered on the ground. The emperor's chest rose and fell violently, obviously angry.

The eunuch waiting for the grinding was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and he could vaguely be seen trembling continuously.

"Go, call me the prince." After a long time, he heard an unclear voice from above, and the eunuch breathed a long sigh of relief, and regardless of the emperor's reaction, he retreated.

When the crown prince got the news, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "I don't know what my father is looking for me?" ”

It's no wonder that he asked, it's been a while now, and if there is something important, he will definitely stop him before, not until now. The emperor suddenly looked for him at this time, but he was afraid that the person who came was not good.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's will, under the repeated urging of the eunuchs, the prince entered the palace with a dignified face, and as soon as he entered the palace of nourishing his heart, a heavy object smashed on his head.

"Humph! You are really my good son, now that the capital is full, even the Huangkou child knows your ambition, since you want me to sit on this chair so much, it is better for me to abdicate and let Xian! The emperor pointed at the prince with a hideous face, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

The crown prince subconsciously knelt down, "Father's anger is relieved!" ”

The thoughts in his heart kept surging, the inkstone swirled on the ground, and a puddle of ink was scattered, and on the prince's forehead, the blood mixed with the ink remained, looking particularly embarrassed.

Obviously, the heavy object just now was the inkstone that the emperor picked up in a fit of anger.

Seeing that the crown prince was smashed on the head, the emperor's pupils shrank, and the guilt flashed, no matter what, the other party was also the prince he personally crowned. But when he remembered the rumors he had heard this morning, he was furious.

"Anger?! My son is about to seize power and usurp the throne, how can you let me be angry?! The Emperor gasped violently and sat back on his stool indignantly.

The prince couldn't care about the injury on his forehead anymore, and all his thoughts were on how to get out of trouble. At this time, he still didn't understand anything, and the rumors in the capital really made the emperor suspicious.

Not to mention anything else, just the sentence "The fake dragon sits on the dragon chair, and the real dragon travels in the Nine Dragons" is enough for him to drink a pot.

Cold sweat slipped down the corners of his forehead drop by drop, and the prince's eyes seemed to be like a black whirlpool, surging with dark tides.

"Father, the son has no two hearts, please ask the father to be clear." At this time, if the king of Chu is involved, it will only make the emperor more and more displeased, although the prince knows the person behind the scenes, he can only suffer this dumb loss.

Dry words naturally could not convince the emperor, his gloomy eyes kept staring at the prince, and after a long time, he snorted coldly as if he was smiling, "Go and kneel outside, without my will, you can't get up." ”

The prince pursed his lips unwillingly, "Yes." ”

At this time, it was almost noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and after only a while, the prince's back was wet with sweat, and his cheeks, which were already bleeding, were pale and terrible, and if it weren't for his amazing willpower, he would have fainted to the ground.

The accompanying servant saw that something was wrong, and when the prince was punished and knelt, he quietly slipped out, and now in the entire palace, the only one who can speak in the emperor's anger is the national teacher.

As soon as the national teacher got the news, he rushed to the Palace of Heart Cultivation non-stop, and when he passed by the prince, the two exchanged a vague look.

"Your Majesty, when I entered the door, I saw the prince kneeling outside, I don't know what annoyed Your Majesty?"

"What, even you have to speak for this rebel?" The emperor's anger had not yet dissipated, and when he saw the national teacher coming in, although he did not express his anger, his words were a little cold and hard.

The national teacher's eyes flashed slightly, and in just a moment, he thought about it, "Your Majesty, I came here today, it is really the guidance of God." ”

Hearing this, the emperor's attention was also attracted to the past, he had always believed in the national teacher, and he did not doubt him for this kind of divine chatter.

Seeing that the emperor's appetite was almost hanging, the national teacher Shi Shiran said, "I watched the stars last night, and saw that the star of Emperor Ziwei was dim, and I am afraid that there will be villains slandering, and the guardian star is flickering, and there is a faint sign of double dragons taking off. ”

He felt that he had made his words clear enough, so he almost asked the emperor not to be confused by those rumors outside, and to treat the "guardian star" of the crown prince well.

Apparently the Emperor was not a fool, and after a moment of silence, he strode towards the door. The prince was under the scorching sun, the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water, in the face of such an embarrassed son, the blood thicker than the water made the emperor also a little distressed, under the attention of the public, he finally opened the golden mouth, "Get up, go back and reflect on yourself, don't come out and be embarrassed." ”

Although the words were not polite, the prince who had been pardoned still breathed a sigh of relief, because he had been kneeling for too long, and he stumbled when he stood up.

The crown prince took the arm of the little servant and limped out of the palace, and before leaving, he also looked meaningfully in the direction of the Chu Palace, his eyes were gloomy.

After suffering such a dumb loss, how could he be so good at giving up, for a long time I didn't see the prince come out to be a demon, and the king of Chu thought that this time it was really jealous of the other party.

The DPRK seems to be calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

It was night, and the wind outside the window was whistling against the glass, bringing a piercing tremor that made people unable to sleep for a long time. The emperor held Concubine An, and he was sleepy after being turned over by the red waves.

Suddenly, the delicate body that was lying quietly in his arms suddenly straightened up, the touch of warm fragrant nephrite disappeared, and the emperor frowned in displeasure, "What's wrong, but I had a nightmare?" ”

"Your Majesty." Concubine An's frightened eyes were a little crimson, the tears in her eyes couldn't fall, she was particularly cute, she bit her lip again and again, as if she had made up some kind of determination, and wrapped her attachment around the emperor's chest, "Your Majesty, the concubine dreamed that someone was plotting against the concubine." ”

"Oh? Do you know who the other party is? Don't be afraid, I will get rid of him as soon as possible. The emperor didn't take Concubine An's words to heart, but just comforted him casually.

"Yes......" Concubine An glanced at the emperor in embarrassment, and after a long time, she spit out a name, "It's the King of Chu." ”

"What?" The emperor's originally casual expression suddenly retracted, and turned to a haze, and anyone who learned that his son coveted his woman would not be in a very happy mood, even if it was just an ethereal dream.

Feeling the stiffness of the muscles of the person beside her, a hint of darkness flashed in Concubine An's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, making people think that it was just her own illusion.

After a long time, the emperor patted Concubine An's back meaningfully, "Don't think about it, go to sleep." ”

The night is still long, and the seeds of doubt take root in the soft heart, waiting for one day to take root and sprout.

Maybe it was suspicious, the emperor always felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of the King of Chu looking at Concubine An, coupled with Concubine An's seemingly nonexistent guidance, the two were bumped into by the emperor many times and were alone together, and finally, when Concubine An deliberately pretended to be a foot and fell into the arms of the King of Chu, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and he was disgusted with this son to the extreme.

Fortunately, the emperor still has a trace of reason, and knows that family ugliness cannot be publicized, not to mention that they are royal in the eyes of the people of the world.

Although he did not find fault with it, he was becoming more and more dissatisfied with the king of Chu, and the ministers in the court could feel that in recent times, the emperor has always reprimanded the king of Chu intentionally or unintentionally.

King Chu was repeatedly reprimanded by the dynasty, and he also realized that something was wrong, but he would never have thought that the source of the matter was actually just a palace concubine in the harem.

In order to save the King of Chu from fire and water, he couldn't take care of Chi Wan when he was busy, so he had to temporarily place her in the city, and he went out of the capital to gather his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

Ji Wan, who stayed at home all day, was a little bored, Mu Zhufeng saw Chi Wan's thoughts, and asked for the imprisoned Yan Mar from the prince's hands, thinking that the two had been together for a while, and there should be common topics, but Mu Zhufeng was destined to be disappointed.

When Chi Wan saw Yan Mar, instead of being surprised, she looked gloomy, "Why is she here?" ”

Before Mu Zhufeng could speak, Yan Mar greeted him with a smile, "Sister Wan'er, I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss me?" As he spoke, he also took Ji Wan's arm, as if he had been reunited after a long absence, if he ignored Chi Wan's frowning brows.

Chi Wan pursed her lips tightly and quietly pulled out her arm, "What do you miss you?" Think how you betrayed me? ”

The undisguised hostility made the smile on Yan Mar's face stiffen for a moment, but she quickly adjusted, glanced at Mu Zhufeng, and motioned for this place to be handed over to herself.

Although Mu Zhufeng felt that the atmosphere between the two was not quite right, he also knew that staying here would not change anything, and it might exacerbate their previous hostility, so after hearing Yan Ma'er's words, he did not force it, but just told her to take good care of Chi Wan, and left.
