"The younger brother should be loyal to the imperial brother with all his might!" The King of Chu looked into Emperor Zhou's eyes and said word by word, "Brother Minister, you will never betray Brother Huang!" ”

Emperor Zhou was silent for a moment, looking at King Chu gloomily, the people in the room seemed to be affected by this low pressure, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, and he did not dare to say more with his eyes down.

Jiang Xiaoyu was also nervous in his heart, bit his lip slightly, and peeked at some of the reactions of the King of Chu, only to see that his face was indifferent, and he didn't seem to be affected by Emperor Zhou's momentum at all, and calmly dropped a word, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, waiting for Emperor Zhou's reaction.

After half a ring, Emperor Zhou smiled: "The words of the King of Chu, I believe, I ...... Believe that you will never betray me! Keep playing chess! ”

Emperor Zhou and the King of Chu fought three games in a row, one win, one loss and one draw, until the sky was dark, and the hazy night shrouded the earth, he returned to the palace unsatisfied.

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the sky outside, like a drop of ink dissolving into clear water, making her feel unhappy and sticky in her heart, like a dark cloud lingering in her heart, she looked at Emperor Zhou's honor guards all at the street corner, before she withdrew her gaze, looked at the King of Chu and asked, "Father, Your Majesty is suspicious of you?" ”

"The emperor is the supreme person in the world, but the height is unbearable, he is also the loneliest person, parents, brothers, children, he doesn't know who to trust, who should trust......" King Chu's eyes revealed a touch of sorrow and pity, "Some practices, although I don't agree, but I understand!" What I say today is not just for dealing with the imperial brother, but for my true words, as for how much he can believe, that is his business! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed slightly, in fact, whether it was his father or Zhao Ling, they may be on their side, and they may also be on the opposite side of the eldest grandson's family, all because of their loyalty to the Great Zhou, their loyalty to Emperor Zhou, and their respect for loyalty, but if one day they stand on the opposite side of Emperor Zhou, then they will inevitably stand on their own side!

"If it weren't for my father's insistence on matters related to me, then Your Majesty would definitely not doubt my father's loyalty!" Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and said.

"The king knows what is right and what is wrong. What to do and what not to do! The King of Chu said lightly, "Looking up between heaven and earth, the first thing to be worthy of is your own heart!" You don't have to worry too much, we are a family, and we deserve to share blessings and misfortunes! ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, and said again when he walked back with King Chu, "Your Majesty suddenly came this time, I'm afraid it's not a whim, and in my father's courtyard, I'm afraid I have to pay more attention!" ”

"Even if there are people in this courtyard, I'm afraid that they are also His Majesty's people, and they have done too much, but I'm afraid that some of them don't have the meaning of three hundred taels of silver here, just let them go, as your uncle said, it's going to be fast anyway!" King Chu smiled faintly, "You also have to be patient, the more this time, the more you can't be caught!" ”

"I remember, Father!"

The early winter wind swept over the skin, causing goosebumps.

Jiang Xiaoyu returned to Tingzhuyuan with some trepidation, no matter how much all parties were paying attention to his uncle's itinerary, in the capital where the intelligence was like spider silk, his uncle's body was not good, I don't know if he can withstand this bump? Moreover, since this result can no longer be changed, what good is it to find the trace of my uncle now? Is the fact that their uncle is still alive really so difficult for them to accept?

Uncle is loyal to the Great Zhou, father is loyal to His Majesty, what they ask for is nothing more than to be worthy of their hearts, but this loyal sacrifice is very great, is it worth it? What is this loyalty? What is the meaning of being a good person if you can't get good rewards?

Don't be a good person, this is Jiang Xiaoyu's advice to himself after experiencing his mother's death, but standing between heaven and earth, how can human nature be changeable? Doing things against her conscience and being a downright bad person, she can't do it, and she doesn't have the face to face her uncle and Zhao Ling.

Fengxi Palace.

"Queen Mother!" The eldest grandson kite gently pounded her legs for the queen mother, "Is the strength still appropriate?" ”

"Well, that's great!" The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes in enjoyment, "The children of the mourning family are not as intimate as you!" ”

"Kite is as good as my brothers and sisters!" The eldest grandson kite smiled slightly, "Just thinking about the eldest princess, there is a bit of a bad feeling in my heart, doesn't the queen mother feel sorry for the eldest princess?" ”

"I'm still praising you!" The Queen Mother opened her phoenix eyes and said, "This time you are coming to make the mourning family sad again, right?" ”

"The Queen Mother is sad, isn't the kite sad? The eldest princess is the biological daughter of the queen mother, but the marquis of Dingjun is also the brother of the kite, although the queen mother and His Majesty's Longen have never blamed the rest of our eldest grandson's family for the elder brother's affairs, but this person's heart is made of meat, and there will be no distress, so my father feels that the eldest brother deserves it, and he is afraid that although the eldest brother is dead, he can't atone for his sins! The eldest grandson's eyes rolled slightly, and she said with tears, "As a daughter, Kite can't share her father's troubles, she is really ashamed to be a daughter!" ”

The Queen Mother's eyebrows raised slightly, and she said lightly: "Your father is brave and loyal, as long as you don't cause trouble for him, you have done your best filial piety!" ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said!" The eldest grandson kite continued to pound for the Queen Mother, "Bai Siyuan has not heard any news so far, doesn't the Queen Mother feel strange?" Although this capital is big, since His Majesty has asked for a search, this capital should have been searched twice, why hasn't there been any news yet? Kite felt that someone must be sheltering Bai Siyuan! ”

The Queen Mother's eyebrows raised slightly: "Who do you think it will be?" ”

"Kite can't think of it, but since he shelters the rebellion, he must be conspiring with the rebellion, there are still people in the capital who have such different intentions, their hearts are sinister, and they have to be investigated!" The eldest grandson said.

"What can be hidden from His Majesty's eyes in this capital? The mourning family believes in His Majesty's ability, at the feet of this Son of Heaven, I am afraid that everything must be in the hands of His Majesty, in this case, why should we worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty when we are in the harem! You also put your heart in your stomach and worry about your own affairs, the boss is not small, and it is time to find someone's home! ”

"Queen Mother!" The eldest grandson Kite glanced at the Queen Mother angrily, "Kite has no intention of marrying, it's not that she doesn't want to marry, but she wants to marry someone she admires and admires. ”

"You kid is too arrogant!" The Queen Mother shook her head gently, "This man outside can't get into your eyes, I don't know if Your Majesty can be like yours?" This palace is very deserted, and His Majesty is unwilling to draft draft girls and fill the harem, if you enter the palace, you can help deal with the affairs of the harem, and you can also accompany the mourning family, what do you think? ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty is naturally the strongest man in the world, but that's an elder brother, and I've always regarded him as a big brother, and he has never thought like that! The eldest grandson said with a roll of his eyes.

"I didn't think about it before, so what about now?" The Queen Mother asked, "I'm afraid that the only person in this world who can match you is Your Majesty!" If you are willing to enter the palace, Your Majesty will definitely have nothing else to say! ”

The Queen Mother paused: "This move can be regarded as for the sake of the eldest grandson's family, if you enter the palace, coupled with the merits of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson's family will be safe and secure in the future, it depends on what you think!" ”

The Queen Mother's eyes changed from kind concern to cold persecution, and the eldest grandson kite did not expect her to enter the palace this time, the Queen Mother would make such a request, if she really entered the palace, it would be equivalent to being trapped in the air, temporarily broken wings, unable to provide timely news to her father.

If she refused, it would give the Queen Mother a reason not to obey Yi's will.

The eldest grandson Kite's eyes turned quickly, and said: "Kite is not afraid of the Queen Mother scolding Kite for being narrow-minded, at the beginning Kite was concerned about Bai Siyuan, but was hurt by Bai Siyuan, why not marry so far, because he can't put him down, now I know that he is still alive, and I am even more depressed and difficult to relax, if Kite can see Bai Siyuan and understand this relationship with him with my own hands, it is natural to find my own happiness again, and when the time comes, enter the palace and accompany the Queen Mother's side, it is also the blessing of Kite Er!" ”

"Kite......" The Queen Mother smiled, "You are mourning for your family!" ”

As the two were talking, they heard that Mama Qu entered the inner hall and said: "Queen Mother, Concubine De and the five princes have come to greet the Queen Mother!" ”

"Let them in!" The Queen Mother's eyebrows stretched slightly.

After a while, I saw Concubine De and Zhao Li enter together to greet the Queen Mother, and the eldest grandson Kite smiled slightly and gave Concubine De a salute.

Concubine De and the eldest grandson Kite exchanged two words, and took the recent few important things in the palace to the Queen Mother to get an idea, the Queen Mother thought for a while, gave her own opinion, of course, the Concubine De's cautious attitude of respecting herself, is still quite satisfied, and finally said: "Since Your Majesty is now letting you take charge of the affairs of the harem, you should make your own decision, and you have to make your own decision!" ”

"Yes!" Concubine De lowered her eyes and said, "It's just that the concubine has only recently come into contact with these things, and it is inevitable that there will be some fears, and if you can get a few words of guidance from the queen mother, you will feel at ease!" ”

"It's natural to be cautious and thoughtful, and sometimes you have to have the courage to make a decision!" The Queen Mother said, "Ping'er, come to the imperial grandmother, how have you done your homework recently?" ”

"The master praised his grandson's article for doing a good job!" Zhao Li said with a smile, "And Zhao Quan, the master praised his extraordinary demeanor and demeanor of Brother Zhao Ling!" ”

"Good boy!" The Queen Mother touched Zhao Li's head, "Just do your studies well, don't make trouble to worry your father and mother again, don't care about other things besides learning, that's not what you should do at your age!" Becoming a talent is the first to establish morality, and only by standing up to virtue can this talent be displayed! ”

Zhao Ligong respectfully bowed his hand and said, "My grandson has been taught!" ”
