Chapter 477: Emperor Zhou's Shadow

"What the hell is going on?" Qi Guifei asked.

Today's words are enough to make people tremble, with Your Majesty's suspicion and ruthlessness, if you are suspicious of the King of Chu, I am afraid that after the Queen Mother goes, she will attack the King of Chu, even if the concubine who has always been indifferent, she is also shocked into a cold sweat.

"I'm not lying!" Concubine Yun sighed and said, "It was the King of Chu who let me enter the palace, and the King of Chu was kind to me, but other than that, there was no connection between us, he let me enter the palace, but he didn't give me any instructions, he just hoped that I could accompany Your Majesty, there was nothing else!" ”

"Maybe the King of Chu is planning for the prince, he may know that sooner or later His Majesty will have murderous intent towards the prince, so he will find a person who is somewhat similar to his sister to enter the palace, if this woman can break into His Majesty's heart, then if His Majesty really wants to kill the prince in the future, this woman can also speak!" Qi Guifei sighed softly, "King Chu is smart, he actually made a mistake in this matter, there is no paper in the world to wrap the fire, if this matter is known to His Majesty, with his temper, how can he tolerate it?" It will only be more suspicious of King Chu! ”

"So what should we do now?" Concubine Yun asked worriedly.

"We are in this deep palace, and we are confined here, what news can be passed on? This is why His Majesty is willing to tell us the matter, because we have no way to have any contact with the outside world, everything can only be left to fate! Qi Guifei sighed, "However, as long as the Queen Mother is still in the day, the King of Chu should be fine for the time being!" ”

Concubine Yun opened by the tree, stretched out her palm, caught a golden fallen leaf, and said leisurely: "When I first entered the palace, he spoiled me alone, at that time he looked at me, I thought he loved me, but I gradually felt that when he looked at me, it seemed that he saw another person through me, his gaze was so affectionate, it almost made me fall down, but sometimes, I can feel that his gaze is so ruthless, or rather, his affection is never for me!" I knew at that time that he was such a sane person that it was impossible for him to really fall in love with a stand-in! ”

She lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that at that time I still had illusions in my heart, and then I was pregnant, and he would sacrifice my child in order to abolish the queen's throne, and I was completely dead at that time, he never pretended to be me in his heart, even if he had me, as long as he needed to sacrifice me in exchange for what he needed, he would not hesitate at all!" Sister Guifei, what a terrifying person he is! ”

"He loves his sister, I know, he really loved!" Qi Guifei said, "It's just that this love didn't defeat his suspicion after all, didn't overcome his desire and fascination with power, in order to consolidate power, he could kill the son of the most beloved woman without hesitation, and he could give death to his most beloved person without any memory!" ”

Qi Guifei often wonders, why is a person cold-blooded to such a point, why does a person not trust anyone? Maybe the stronger he is, the more vulnerable he becomes. For a long time after the death of the first prince, he could not sleep peacefully, and killed three personal eunuchs within a month.

At that time, she didn't know that his suspicions were not only eliminated by the death of the first prince, but became more and more serious, she just felt that he was pitiful, and the scars of his childhood had already doomed his character and fate.

When His Majesty had not yet become the crown prince, he competed for the throne with several other princes, but although he was not the one with the most limelight, he was still a thorn in the side that others wanted to get rid of. One night, when he was sleeping peacefully, he asked the eunuch and eunuch to cover his head with a pillow, if he hadn't struggled desperately, he was afraid that he would have died in the hands of that eunuch, and the eunuch who killed him was a person who grew up with him and had deep feelings.

After he finally became the emperor, because of his young age, those ministers often talked privately about abolishing him, which made him panic all day, and among those ministers who wanted to abolish him and establish a new king, there were also those who guaranteed him to ascend the throne as emperor in the first place, and he was most grateful to in his heart.

These two things had a very great impact on Emperor Zhou, making him no longer easily trust anyone, making him unable to tolerate anyone who was too powerful for him to control, and if a person lost control, then he would rather get rid of him.

Concubine Qi could understand Emperor Zhou's approach to certain things, but she couldn't agree with it.

This person who holds the power of life and death in the world will eventually make himself a loner because of his suspicion and ruthlessness!

After smelling the charming fragrance of power, people who are addicted to it will also embark on a road of no turning back because of their obsession with power.

Wu Qian sometimes looks at the clouds floating in the sky of Chen Guo, and he can't help but feel at a loss, is he walking with his own heart, with a clear goal and wanting to get what he needs, or is he already driven by desire now?

"Senior brother, what do you want?" Jiang Xiaoyu sat down next to Wu Qian and asked, "What are you doing in a daze?" ”

"We are receiving countless messages every day, every decision we make is not necessarily from our sincerity, but only by the situation, the key is that we can't quickly recognize the difference, so sometimes, we also need a person to think quietly, whether things will gradually deviate from their original intention in the process of development!" Wu Qian said lightly.

"Oh? So what did you come up with? Jiang Xiaoyu asked, holding his head.

"Just as I was about to think, didn't you come?" Wu Qian said with a smile.

"Really?" Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, "That's me bothering you, then I'll go first!" ”

"Come sit with me!" Wu Qian said, "Do you remember when you were young, every time I came to see you, what did you like to do the most? ”

"Accompany me to practice martial arts?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.

"In addition to practicing martial arts?"

"I'll let you take it to the tree, and then sit on the tree and blow the wind, like an outsider, watching the people of Jiangfu come and go!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "At that time, I regarded Jiang Fu as everything, thinking that I had seen through all of them, and regarded myself as a sober person, proud, thinking that I was more powerful than all of them, and the more I grew up, the more I knew that everyone was a person in the game, no one could jump out, and he was just one of the living beings!"

Wu Qian raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Xiaoyu's head, and said with a light smile: "However, for a certain person, you are still his world!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu lowered his eyes, and a soft smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Maybe, maybe I am Zhao Ling's world!" ”

While the two were talking, news came that Emperor Chen had died.

Of course, for Wu Qian and Jiang Xiaoyu, this news is not necessarily so surprising, or rather, this is the news they have been waiting for, sooner or later, it will happen.

In the palace of Chen Guo, among thousands of palaces, the white flags summoned, and there was a wailing voice, full of poignant.

In front of Emperor Chen's bed, there were Princess Jingyun and Prince Li Changqing kneeling, and behind them were the royal family and hundreds of civil and military officials.

Emperor Chen entrusted the country to the crown prince, and instructed the officials to do their best to assist the new emperor and then died, of course, accompanied by infinite worries and regrets, in terms of his own physical condition, he has no way to eradicate Li Chengqian, and he can't predict whether his son will be his opponent, and can't know whose hands the country of Chen will fall into, but now, the next thing is completely out of his control.

He once thought that his brother was not suitable to be the emperor, so he forced the palace and became the emperor himself, but in the past ten years, Chen Guo has not become better under his governance, and the disaster of Hu Yanting almost ruined the Li family, but at this critical moment, the brother's son stood up and got rid of this scourge, is all this doomed?

In the midst of regret and self-blame, Emperor Chen passed away, and the people in front of the bed cried.

"You are still pregnant with a child, don't be too sad, it's not good for your health!" Li Changqing patted his sister's back and comforted.

"I'm fine!" Princess Jingyun lowered her eyes and said lightly, "Big brother, don't worry about me!" No matter what others say about my father, for me, he is a kind father, and as a daughter, I have not been able to fulfill my filial piety by his side, which makes me feel extremely guilty! ”

"You've done enough!" Li Changqing said, "You are a good boy, you don't have to be too yourself!" ”

"Brother Prince, what are you going to do next? Do you want to ascend the throne? Princess Jingyun asked.

"I once talked to Li Chengqian, for the sake of the lives of Chen Guo's soldiers, I plan to return the throne to him." Li Changqing said, "I don't like to fight again because of this throne, this is exactly the wish of entering the Great Zhou, if Chen is in civil turmoil, the Great Zhou will attack it, and what awaits the Chen State may be the death of the country!" They are all surnamed Li, everyone in this country sits the same, perhaps, with his strategy, he is more suitable to be the emperor than me, and under the threat of the Great Zhou, he may be able to do better! ”

"But it's not an easy thing to do!" Princess Jingyun was silent for a while and said, at this time, she agreed with the prince's brother's idea, maybe this is fate, maybe this is the best arrangement, but this is not something that the two brothers and sisters can decide, this contains too many variables, and a big factor is that those people from the royal family will agree?
