Chapter 107: Murderous Intent
The night in the Three Kings' Mansion is so quiet that the silence makes people frightened.
Chao Yishen sat in front of the window, looking at the night outside, his brows furrowed, and he refused to let go of his hand for a long time. His lips opened slightly and closed quickly, and he swallowed something he wanted to say. He'd been sitting there since he woke up at noon today, staring out the window like a lost soul. All kinds of chaotic emotions came to his heart, and he thought about many possibilities and tried to convince himself.
Why doesn't she love him? Is it because I am not good enough for her? He put his whole heart on her, why did he want to leave? Why should she abandon this love of hers? Why?
In the morning, Ruofeng came to the house to deliver medicine to him, and when he saw his decadence, he sighed, "Lord Wang, it's time to take medicine." ”
"Ruofeng, why is she?" The tone was very cold.
"Huh? Three princesses? Ruofeng deliberately asked, "I don't know if you ask me." ”
"Doesn't she just think I dare not do anything to her?"
"Lord Wang, actually, ......" Ruofeng was just about to say something, but Chao Yishen suddenly stood up.
"I'm going to the court!"
"Lord Wang! You haven't drunk the medicine yet! Ruofeng shook his head helplessly, "Alas~How to set a set~"
In the court
"Father, my son-in-law has heard that there have been many changes in the Southern Regions recently, and I am afraid that if it is allowed to continue, its power will affect the safety of my Chaoyudu, do you need to send troops to exterminate the Southern Regions clan?" Chao Yishen bowed his head and bowed to the emperor, with a little murderous aura in his eyes.
Chao Yicen was a little surprised to hear him say this, and hurriedly stood up and retorted: "Father, don't be in a hurry, the Southern Regions and I have always been good friends, and we will pay tribute every year, if you rush to send troops, I am afraid that it will cause great harm to both sides." I don't know what the third brother means by saying this? ”
"Father, the son is for the sake of the safety of Chaoyudu, looking at the world, only the power of the Southern Regions is the strongest, especially in the past three years, it has developed rapidly. If you ignore it, one day it will bring hidden dangers to our side, father, we still have to be prepared for danger in times of peace and extinguish this flame as soon as possible. ”
"Father, don't ......."
"That's it! Don't talk about it....... Ahem...... cough cough ......." The emperor hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed violently, and a red mark caught his eye, and he immediately put it away, "I will consider this matter, is there anything else?" Nothing to retreat from! ”
Outside the temple
"Third brother, why do you want to mention the matter of exterminating the Southern Regions?" Chao Yicen looked at him puzzled.
"Big brother doesn't have to ask, even if my father doesn't agree now, one day I will destroy that place!" Chao Yishen looked to the side with disdain, and continued to say indifferently: "Big brother, but there is one thing I want to ask you." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Did Ruan Bingbing's departure have anything to do with you?" Chao Yishen has always been worried about Shi Wenxuan's knowledge of Chao Yicen, although Shi Wenxuan did not tell the truth, but it must have nothing to do with Chao Yicen.
"I ......" Chao Yicen hesitated, not knowing whether to say it or not.
"Does it matter what you look like?" Chao Yishen's eyes suddenly became fierce, "What happened back then?" How could Ruan Bingbing suddenly disappear?! ”
Chao Yicen silently closed his eyes and sighed: "This matter has been in my heart for a long time, and this time I can finally say it." ”
......
Chao Yishen was furious and grabbed Chao Yicen's collar, "You actually did such a thing?!" Let her be a hostage alone, and you still have the face to come back and ask for credit! Then he punched Chao Yicen hard in the face.
"Third brother, I'm sorry for you!" Chao Yicen lowered his head guiltily and let Chao Yishen vent.
"Are you sorry for me? What you really should atone for is Bingbing! He angrily raised his fist and prepared to swing it again.
"Big brother!" Seeing this, Chao Yijing immediately ran over in a hurry, pushed Chao Yicen away, and was punched to the ground by Chao Yishen.
"Humph! You guys really have a deep friendship, join forces to do this kind of thing! Chao Yishen also looked at Chao Yijing with red eyes, eager to pluck his skin now.
"What are you ......" Chao Yijing just wanted to get up and refute, but was stopped by Chao Yicen.
"Yijing! I've already told him. ”
"Big brother, you ......"
"Enough! Chao Yijing, you are the culprit in Ruan Bingbing's matter, why did you take her over? What qualifications do you have to take her away? Chao Yishen grabbed Chao Yijing and pressed him against the wall, and swung his fist at him.
"Third brother! That's enough! Chao Yicen blocked his arm and pushed it out with force.
"Hahaha, third brother, what qualifications do you have to be angry with Ruan Bingbing here? I'm afraid you don't know, she actually came there voluntarily. At that time, I told her to change her eldest brother out, and I agreed without much persuasion, and said that I didn't want to see you again, so it would be fine. You think she really wants to stay with you? Think about it! ”
"You don't need to tell me!" Chao Yishen turned around angrily, "I will always remember this incident, sooner or later you will have to pay the price!" ”
"Yijing, why are you saying this?!" Chao Yicen glared at him.
"Big brother, I really don't understand, why do you all like Ruan Bingbing, what's so good about her?"
"Don't worry about her business in the future!"
"Good~"
The moonlight shone through the window on Emperor Chaoyu's pale and godless face, and his eyes were slightly open, looking at the people below with an indifferent expression.
"Shen'er, why did you mention the extermination of the Southern Regions today?"
"Father, the Southern Regions Kingdom has grown stronger and stronger in the past two years, and it is no longer a small subordinate country of the former Chaoyu Capital, if you raise a snake and let it go, when its wings are full, it will be equal to Chaoyu's strength, and divide the world equally, and then it will not be something we can control."
"Humph! Divide the world equally?! Chaoyu has ruled the countries for generations, and whoever wants to shake this position must be eradicated! Emperor Chaoyu changed color, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"
"Father, my son-in-law found out that you have been suffering from asthma recently, is there anything wrong with your body?" Chao Yi asked worriedly.
The emperor raised his head slightly, and his voice was extremely cold: "Someone has already secretly attacked me. ”
"Father!" Chao Yishen hurriedly knelt down, "Father, the son has no disagreement with you!" ”
"Shen'er doesn't have to worry, my father knows it's not you." The emperor motioned for Chao Yishen to get up.
"Father Xie trusts! Did the father notice it? ”
"That's right, I privately asked the imperial doctor to check the pulse, but I couldn't find the root cause. I suspect that someone has used some exotic drug, and that person is someone close to me. ”
"The person that the father suspects is ......" Chao Yishen looked serious, observing the emperor's micro-expression at all times, and did not dare to guess.
"It's the person you think in your heart, Concubine Xi."
Chao Yi paused slightly, and continued: "Since my father has already guessed that it is her, why don't you just deal with it?" ”
"I always feel that there is someone behind her......" The emperor's eyes became serious again, "I hate intrigue and intrigue the most in my life, and I will operate in the dark, if I find out, I will definitely eradicate it cleanly!" Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"
"Father, rest assured, the sons will definitely help you find out who is behind the scenes, and please take care of your health!"
"Recently, I will be careful of Concubine Xi, and the matter of this Southern Regions country will be decided as soon as possible, and they must not be allowed to threaten the safety of Chaoyu Capital!"
"Yes, Father!"
In the dormitory, Concubine Xi's face was ruddy, her eyes were ambiguous, and she snuggled tightly in the emperor's arms, "Your Majesty, how do you feel about your body lately?" Still coughing? ”
"I've been feeling much more comfortable lately, so don't worry about it." The emperor hugged her tightly, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Then the concubine will rest assured, by the way, I will serve porridge to the emperor." Concubine Xi smiled and got up to get dressed, but was pulled back from the emperor.
"Eh, concubine, no need, lie down with me for a while, I won't drink today~"
Concubine Xi's heart trembled suddenly, and then she smiled bitterly and lay down obediently, leaned to the side, and complained in a complaining tone: "If the emperor doesn't want to drink, he won't drink, and the concubine will not do it in the future~."
Seeing that she was a little unhappy, the emperor immediately put his arms around Concubine Xi's waist, put his face in her hair, and comforted her softly, "Ai Concubine~ I don't mean that~ I just want to stay with you a little longer~"
"The emperor will say some good things to coax his concubines, but in fact, there are no concubines in his heart at all~"
The emperor instantly softened his heart when he saw her pitiful appearance, "Don't be angry, concubine, why don't I really like you?" You look at this harem, but I come to see you every day, and the other women don't even want to look at you. From the first time I saw you, I was fascinated by you. At that time, I remember that there seemed to be a little melancholy and sadness in your eyes, but you still smiled at me, and I swore that I would never let you have that kind of look in the future, and I wanted you to be happy every day by my side. ”
"Your Majesty......" Concubine Xi's heart trembled again, but this time it was a little warmer, and her eyes gradually turned red.
"Why is Concubine Ai crying?" The emperor quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Concubine Ai, don't worry, as long as I am in one day, I will not let you be wronged." I suddenly want to drink porridge again, can I help my concubine bring it? ”
Concubine Xi looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, and there was a softness in her eyes, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
