"Brother and courtier, see Your Majesty!" The king of Chu knelt down in front of Emperor Zhou, looking sincerely frightened.

"Someone got it back?" Emperor Zhou didn't raise his eyes, he lowered his eyes and asked casually at the music on the desk, although his tone was flat, but there was a trace of murderous aura hidden, which made people's hearts tremble slightly.

"Got it back!" King Chu paused and said, "The younger brother has specially come to ask His Majesty for his guilt!" ”

"Please?" Emperor Zhou's brows rose slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Since you are under the orders of the Queen Mother, what are you guilty of?" ”

"It's not that the younger brother doesn't know what His Majesty is worried about, but please forgive the younger brother for not being able to support His Majesty as always this time, because it is the son of the younger brother, the son of the younger brother and the princess, and the hard-working princess entrusted the three children to the younger brother with her own hands before she died, and the younger brother died by himself, and he couldn't watch the three children die in front of the younger brother!" The king of Chu knelt on the ground and said bitterly, "If Your Majesty has to kill someone, the younger brother is willing to exchange his life for the life of the son!" ”

"You hate me?" Emperor Zhou raised his eyes, looked coldly at the King of Chu who was bowing his head to the ground and asked.

"Brother don't dare!" King Chu said.

"You just don't dare, not that you won't!" Emperor Zhou sneered and said, "After all, you still hate me!" You and I are both fathers, I understand you, I want to kill your son, it's normal for you to hate me! But I'm not a faint king who kills people for no reason, so what am I going to do with you! ”

"Brother Chen has rarely asked His Majesty for anything over the years, and this time, Brother Chen begged His Majesty to spare the life of the prince!" The King of Chu straightened up his upper body, clasped his fists and said, "The prince is seriously injured, even if he can barely survive, I am afraid that his martial arts will be wasted, and he will be just a waste person in the future, a waste person who is not even as good as ordinary people!" In the future, whether the fifth prince ascends the throne or the sixth prince ascends the throne, with his current appearance, he can not pose a threat to anyone, if Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send the imperial doctor to check it, so the younger brother asks Your Majesty to spare his life for the sake of the younger brother's face! ”

"King Chu, you know that I have been owing you all these decades, right?" Emperor Zhou said slowly, "Back then, they were not satisfied with me being the emperor, and wanted to support you as the new monarch, but you would rather pretend to be crazy and stupid than go along with them, when I was in the most internal and external difficulties, it was you and the queen mother who have always been by my side and have always supported me, so I can have today, and you have never been proud of your achievements, you are far away from the right and wrong of the court, you never sell power, nor make friends with powerful people, you just want to be a rich idler, just to let me rest assured of you, but you have never hated my suspicion, When I needed you, you have always been wholeheartedly assisting me, providing me with the most sober advice, O King of Chu, my imperial brother, how can I refuse your request? ”

"That's good!" Emperor Zhou paused and said, "Let the prince recuperate from his injuries in the Chu Palace, but recently there are remnants of the eldest grandson, I am afraid that the prince will suffer from it, and I will arrange for the Royal Forest Army to protect it, what do you think?" ”

"Brother thank you for your grace!" The King of Chu prostrate on the ground and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a eunuch said outside: "Your Majesty, the King of Chu, the Queen Mother is urging again, asking if the matter reported by the King of Chu to His Majesty has been explained clearly, and she is in a hurry to visit the prince!" ”

Emperor Zhou said: "You go back, go with the queen mother!" The queen mother is old and misses her grandson, and I can't stop it, you go and accompany the queen mother, don't let her worry too much, as for the son's injury, you hide it from her! ”

"Brother is measured!" The king of Chu said, "Then the younger brother will take his leave first!" ”

"King Chu!" Emperor Zhou stopped the King of Chu, "I don't owe you anything in the future!" ”

"Brother knows!"

When the king of Chu came out of the imperial study, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his back, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurried to the Fengxi Palace and took the queen mother to visit Zhao Ling in the palace of the king of Chu.

Although the Queen Mother asked about the prince's injuries all the way, and the King of Chu also told the Queen Mother a lot, so that she was mentally prepared, but when she saw Zhao Ling, the Queen Mother still couldn't help but burst into tears and threw herself on the prince's body and cried.

"My hard-working grandson, why did you receive such a serious injury, the second child is no longer here, if you have another three long and two short, the imperial grandmother will not survive!" The Queen Mother sat on the edge of the bed and cried, now her majesty as the Queen Mother has disappeared, and she is just an old man who has repeatedly lost her relatives.

"Imperial grandmother, don't worry!" Zhao Ling smiled reluctantly, "My grandson's body is very good, and he will soon be able to jump around!" ”

The queen mother immediately asked her trusted imperial doctors to diagnose and treat the prince, these imperial doctors were greeted in advance, and picked up some irrelevant words, so that she could rest assured, listening to the words of the imperial doctor, the queen mother thought that the prince had just suffered some skin injuries, and it would be fine to raise it for two months, so she was relieved, no longer crying, but carefully instructed Zhao Ling to do something.

After all, Zhao Ling was too seriously injured, coupled with the blow given to him by the death of the second prince, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and after barely coping with the queen mother, he drank the medicine and fell asleep deeply.

The news that the second prince was given death by Emperor Zhou was that he heard the king of Chu on the way back to Beijing, and when he heard the news, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, which showed the anger in his heart, but his body was too injured to stand up, and his fists smashed the bed one by one, and he could only express his dissatisfaction and resentment in this way!

Why! Why the hell is that!

He resented Emperor Zhou's ruthlessness and resented the injustice of Heaven, but now he was pinched by Emperor Zhou like an ant, and he couldn't protect anything except a piece of resentment!

He can't protect his own woman, he can't protect his brother, and his ambition and loyalty are all a joke! He's just a pawn, and now he's just an outcast!

After a long time, Zhao Ling calmed down a little and asked, "What about Princess Jingyun?" ”

"Rescued!" King Chu said.

Only then did Zhao Ling remember what he asked Yang Xing to stay, it should be that Yang Xing picked up the princess and sent it to Chen Guo.

"Second brother, I can leave a little blood!" Zhao Ling closed his eyes, tears flowing.

He stopped talking, immersed in his own world of despair and grief, and the bright and cheerful world before collapsed so quickly!

The Queen Mother saw Zhao Ling sleeping and silently accompanied him until the night darkened, and the King of Chu said worriedly on the side: "It's not too early for the queen mother, you should also take a rest!" ”

"Hmm!" The Queen Mother nodded and said softly.

"Will the queen mother stop at the Chu Palace, or go back to Fengxi Palace?" King Chu asked.

"Go back to the palace!" The Queen Mother sighed and said.

The king of Chu helped the queen mother to get up and walked out slowly: "Queen mother, rest assured, the son is young, and his body is good, he will definitely be able to recover in a few days!" ”

"Hmm!" The Queen Mother nodded, "King Chu, remember, you must protect the safety of the prince!" If Your Majesty wants to attack the prince, you will definitely come to Fengxi Palace to find a mourning family! The mourning family didn't believe that he dared to kill the grandson of the mourning family in front of the mourning family! ”

"Erchen knows!"

Sent the queen mother back to the palace, the king of Chu also came back physically and mentally exhausted, the little affection in His Majesty was exhausted, and now the life of the prince can only be said to be safe for the time being, but His Majesty is unpredictable, maybe when he will remember this stubble! In the days to come, there will still be dangers!

Soon after the king of Chu returned to the capital, the eldest grandson Chi also returned to the capital on his heels, and someone told the news to the county lord of Qiwen for the first time, the county lord of Qiwen bit his lip and thought about it, and took his whip and went to the eldest princess's mansion with a fierce attitude.

"Eldest grandson, come out for me!"

The people in the Eldest Princess's Mansion all knew the relationship between the county lord of Qiwen and the eldest grandson general, so she wanted to come in, who dared to stop her, and broke all the way to the door of the eldest grandson Chi's study.

"Qiwen, why are you here?" The eldest grandson hurriedly came out of the study, looked at Qiwen with a big belly, there was a trace of worry in his eyes, and said with a straight face, "Your body is heavy now, what are you doing when you come out at this time, why don't you go back quickly!" ”

"What qualifications do you have to teach me!" The county lord of Qiwen glared at Changsun Chi fiercely, and asked coldly, "Let me ask you, it was you who led people to force my master off the cliff, and it was you who led people to seriously injure Brother Zhao Ling?" ”

"Yes!" The eldest grandson paused and said, "I'm just acting on orders, but if they don't become enemies of Your Majesty, Your Majesty won't give orders next time, they are just doing it themselves!" ”

"Shut up!" Qiwen shouted coldly, and the whip in her hand waved mercilessly towards the eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson Chi didn't dodge, and took Qiwen's whip, leaving a bloody mark on his face: "I don't want to lie to you, I do think so, I didn't do anything wrong, if you want to hate me because of this, hate me!" ”

Qiwen said with tears in her eyes: "A few days ago, I could clearly feel the child in my belly beating, he was so energetic, so cute, for a moment, I felt that I should give him father's love, give him a complete home, I thought about forgiving you, I thought that maybe I could try to go down with you, but now, between us, there is a completely different value between us, how do you want me to go down with you?" ”

She touched the tears on her face, and said: "Eldest grandson Chi, I will tell you today that from now on, the child in the belly has nothing to do with you, and there is no relationship between us!" We, grace and righteousness! I won't embarrass you, if Your Majesty wants to kill me in the future, you just have to bring someone to the door! ”

After Qiwen finished speaking, she turned around and left, and the eldest grandson Chi watched her leave silently, not daring to step forward to stop her, and there was no reason to stop her.
