"How is the prince recovering now?" Emperor Zhou suddenly arrived at the Chu Palace, and asked lightly.

"It's a lot better!" King Chu clenched his fists and said, "Brother still want to thank Your Majesty for your magnanimity!" ”

"I'll go see him!"

"Yes, my brother will take Your Majesty there!"

The king of Chu took Emperor Zhou into Zhao Ling's house, only to see that the original bright and spacious room had now become extremely dark, with a smell of medicine and musty, which made people feel very comfortable.

"It's a good day outside, what are you doing with the windows closed?" Emperor Zhou said lightly.

The king of Chu hurriedly called someone to open the window, and a bright light came in from the window, and happened to find the bed, and Zhao Ling's angry voice came from the bed: "Who told you to open the window!" ”

"Son, Your Majesty is here, why don't you hurry up and take over!" King Chu scolded.

Zhao Ling's body stiffened for a moment, and two maids stepped forward to wait for him to get up.

"The criminal minister is inconvenient, and he can't ask His Majesty for peace, please atone for your sins!" Zhao Ling said with a cold face.

The original handsome prince is now pale, his cheeks are sunken, and he has a beard on his chin, and he looks decadent and weak, especially his eyes, which used to have a light in his eyes, but now this light is gone.

"No need to be polite!" Emperor Zhou walked to the chair opposite the bed and sat down, glanced at Zhao Ling, and asked, "How do you feel now?" ”

"Very good!" Zhao Ling smiled disdainfully, "It's time to eat, it's time to drink, it's time to sleep, it's been a long time since I've been so leisurely!" ”

"Really?" Emperor Zhou raised one eyebrow, "If you like this kind of day, it will be good to live like this every day in the future!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Zhao Ling said with a sneer.

"This is indeed my grace!" Emperor Zhou said lightly, "Your relationship with the second child is so good, I can let you go and have a companion with the second child, but your father is reluctant to let you intercede, and I have saved your life!" But for your father's sake, I can keep you, but that doesn't mean I'll bypass Jiang Xiaoyu! ”

Zhao Ling raised his eyes sharply and stared at Emperor Zhou motionlessly.

Emperor Zhou paused and said: "I might as well give you an explanation, I didn't find Jiang Xiaoyu's body, I estimated that her life was big and she was rescued, didn't her uncle escape from death back then?" But it doesn't matter, I'll catch her sooner or later, and you're still here, and she won't leave you alone! ”

He stared at Zhao Ling, sneered, and asked, "Are you dissatisfied in your heart?" Do you feel that you have done so many things for Da Zhou and for me, but you have ended up in this ending, and your heart is unbalanced? You are even more upset for the second child, and you feel that you are ruthless! It's just that you really think I'm arrogant, ruthless, and ruthless? Do you really feel like you're doing anything wrong? When you hid it from me and wanted to get the final word out of me, you were already betraying me! You can still say that this is done for the prince who has a deep relationship with you, but why don't you deceive the king? ”

His eyes narrowed, and he continued: "If you can't think of it, I can give you a wake-up call, Subei!" ”

Emperor Zhou said, waved his hand, and saw two seriously injured women being escorted in and kneeling on the ground.

Emperor Zhou glanced at the two of them, then looked at Zhao Ling and asked, "These two people, do you still have an impression?" ”

Zhao Ling frowned, his body stiffened, he didn't expect to see the two of them here, they were none other than Bai Shan and Bai Mei. After the collapse of the Cardinal Sect, they left and chose to retreat to the fields, thinking that they had lived a peaceful life, but they did not expect that after more than a year, they still could not escape this net.

"These two are remnants of the Cardinal Sect, right? Did you tell me to let them go? Emperor Zhou asked lightly.

"They are not only the people of the Cardinal Sect, but also the people of the Bai Family, they were just deceived at the beginning, and later to exterminate the Red-clothed Sect, they also contributed, and their merits and demerits offset each other, so there is no need to arrest them!" Zhao Ling argued.

"Okay, let go of the two of them, it can be said that Jiang Xiaoyu is looking at the face of the Bai family!" Emperor Zhou's voice became more and more cold, "Then let Xiahou Sheng go?" Xiahou Sheng is the leader of the Cardinal Sect, and you lie that he has died in Subei, but you let him go in private, isn't this a bully? Have you ever taken me into your eyes? ”

"It's not the most abominable thing!" Emperor Zhou took a breath and calmed himself down, "Gu Mingming is the so-called saintess of the Cardinal Sect, you just let her go, she is still returning to the capital in a grand manner, you know about this, but no one has told me!" It is a capital crime for you to deceive the king first, so why is it wrong for me to kill you? ”

"Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and he holds the power of life and death, so naturally he can kill whoever he wants!" Zhao Ling smiled faintly, "What's wrong?" ”

"The facts are in front of you, are you still not convinced? Naturally, you will not be convinced! Emperor Zhou said mockingly, "Once you are convinced, once you realize your mistake, then you will definitely go all the way to the second child, you and Jiang Xiaoyu and his wife killed him, not I killed him, it was your couple who killed him!" ”

Zhao Ling raised his eyes and glared fiercely at Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou didn't mind Zhao Ling's rudeness, the more angry he was, the more powerless he was now, and the more he blamed himself.

He not only wants to make Zhao Ling a waste person physically, but he also wants Zhao Ling to become a waste person psychologically, after all, if it weren't for him and Jiang Xiaoyu, maybe he wouldn't have killed the second child! He attributed his act of killing the second prince to helplessness, to being forced by Zhao Ling and Jiang Xiaoyu, maybe only in this way would he feel better in his heart!

He was a ruthless emperor, but he also had a part of being a mortal, and the part of him as a father, and the death of two sons in a year still affected him more or less in the depths of his heart.

Emperor Zhou is not so free to say these words to Zhao Ling, these days there are many people in the government and the opposition who intercede for the prince, and there are also many discussions about the death of the second prince, he just wants to tell the world, whether it is the prince or the second prince, everything they do is to blame, he just did what an emperor should do!

said what should be said, and by the way, it was also determined that Zhao Ling's martial arts were really abolished, and Emperor Zhou returned home, but he would not relax his surveillance of Zhao Ling.

The King of Chu looked at Zhao Ling's appearance, and also sighed, he didn't know how to persuade him, His Majesty's hand was really powerful, and he saved the life of the son, but he wanted to punish his heart! If Zhao Ling can't survive this hurdle himself, I'm afraid that this life will be really wasted!

After Emperor Zhou left and King Chu went to see him off, silence returned to the room again, and Zhao Ling watched as the guards dragged away the dying Bai Mei and Bai Shan, but he couldn't do anything.

Could it really be that he killed the second child?

If there was nothing to hide at the beginning, would Your Majesty really let the second child go?

"The prince ......" The maid looked at Zhao Ling's gloomy face and called cautiously.

"Get out!" Zhao Ling shouted, "All go out!" ”

Zhao Ling was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling helplessly, with only one question hovering in his mind, did he really kill the second child?

What should he do now? What should I do?

Emperor Zhou walked in front, and the King of Chu followed, Emperor Zhou suddenly stopped and said, "King Chu, what do you think of this child Zhao Qu?" ”

King Chu smiled and said: "Very smart, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to enter His Majesty's eyes, and I wouldn't be able to become Your Majesty's person!" ”

Emperor Zhou nodded and said: "He is indeed a very smart young man, this kind of intelligence is rare among the young people I have seen, and there are few people in this capital who can catch up with him!" How long has it been since he came to the capital to accept some business things? It's not just organized, it's exceptional! ”

He glanced at the weeping willows by the pool, and said: "Zhao Ling is already like this, and I think Zhao Qu is more suitable for the position of the son of this world!" ”

"Ling'er's current situation is indeed hard to say!" The King of Chu bent down and said, "Although Zhao Qu has outstanding ability, he is not a concubine after all, if Ling'er is not suitable, according to the rules, the position of the son of this world should also be given to Quan'er!" ”

"Zhao Quan?" Emperor Zhou rubbed his hands and thought about it, "This kid is really good, otherwise, let's leave it at that!" ”

"Yes!"

"Remember to tell the Queen Mother about this!" Emperor Zhou said, "You can go to the palace in the next two days, talk to the queen mother about this matter, and by the way, talk about Zhao Ling's injury, the queen mother is concerned about it!" ”

"Yes!"

"It's not too early, I'm going back to the palace!" Emperor Zhou said, he took two steps and then turned back and asked, "I remember that Zhao Ling has a very powerful person under him, named Yang Xing, right?" My people have not found him, and I also suspect that this person took the second princess out of the Great Zhou, I don't know where to hide, the second princess has royal blood in her belly, if she is out, it is inevitable that someone will not use it! If this person returns to the capital and contacts you, he must tell me that I must not let the royal blood flow outside! ”

"Brother Chen understands that if Yang Xing has any contact with the Chu Palace, Brother Chen must inform Your Majesty as soon as possible!" King Chu clenched his fists and said.

"I know that the King of Chu has never let me down!" Emperor Zhou said, turned around and left, and returned to the palace.

The king of Chu sighed, every time Emperor Zhou appeared, he would feel frightened, this imperial brother was no longer the imperial brother of the past, now he was moody, it was really terrifying, in addition to fear, it seemed that he could not find the admiration of the past.

He didn't know what the imperial brother would become in the future, he only knew that Ling Er could be regarded as a few more days now, as for the problem of this world, he really gave himself a problem!
