Zhao Guifei turned around and looked up at Chu Jingshuo lovingly, Chu Jingshuo was still standing beside her, between the light and shadow, she couldn't really see Chu Jingshuo's expression.

"So the concubines have to plan for their children, and they have to plan for the future of our mother and son."

Zhao Guifei's voice softened a lot, and it could be seen from her eyes that she was really moved this time.

I really didn't expect Zhao Guifei to be arrogant for so many years, and now she is willing to bow her head for her son.

Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to open her eyes and stare at Chu Jingxuan's face.

Chu Jingxuan didn't have any expression on his face, it stands to reason that Zhao Guifei apologized for him, he should be moved.

Even if he didn't have these, he should have felt a little happy in his heart.

How to say that he is a cold-blooded and ruthless Eighth Prince!

But Chu Jingxuan didn't react at all now, he just stood beside Zhao Guifei blankly.

This sluggishness is different from just now, and now he is more numb and useless.

It was as if all this was nothingness in his eyes, and his looming eyes were full of confusion after being blocked by broken hair, and he seemed to be unable to distinguish whether it was reality or illusion.

Finally, Chu Jingshuo moved.

He fell to his knees stiffly and slowly.

"Father, son, wrong."

The voice was like dust, and it sounded hopeless.

As if he didn't think the sound was loud enough, he raised the volume slightly:

"Father! Son, wrong! ”

While speaking, he also kowtowed to Chu Hongzhen.

The sound just now was a head, and now it's the same again.

Seeing that Chu Jingxuan still wanted to knock the third, Chu Hongzhen finally spoke. He waved his hand, frowned and whispered to Chu Jingxuan:

"Enough! I know! ”

Hearing Chu Jingshuo admit his mistake, the only one who was happy in the hall was Zhao Guifei.

Her whole body leaned towards Chu Jingxuan, held Chu Jingxuan's hand little by little, and gently patted and comforted.

Chu Jingxuan's hand subconsciously wanted to withdraw, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally didn't move again.

Surprised by Chu Jingxuan's changes, Zhao Guifei hurriedly raised her eyes and looked at Chu Hongzhen:

'Your Majesty, Shuo'er admits her mistake, Shuo'er is willing to admit her mistake! Everything was done by the concubines, so you can spare Shuo'er this time! ’

Zhao Guifei's Danfeng eyes were filled with hope, and she had to rush over to answer 'yes' for Chu Hongzhen.

"I will answer you."

Chu Hongzhen finally opened his mouth under Zhao Guifei's eager gaze, and Zhao Guifei also burst into tears and laughed the moment she heard the answer.

"Shuo'er, did you hear that? Did you hear your father saying that he would spare you? ”

Zhao Guifei excitedly held Chu Jingxuan's hand, and the whole person was still trembling slightly, and even the hand with Chu Jingxuan was also affected.

"I heard it, I heard it, my mother."

Chu Jingshuo couldn't bear it after all, he reached out and grabbed Zhao Guifei's hand instead, trying to calm her down.

"The mother concubine knows that your father will not forgive you, he is not such a ruthless person."

Zhao Guifei choked up again, moved to tears: "You are also his beloved prince, the son of this palace, how can he not care at all." ”

Seeing that Zhao Guifei was about to cry and cry again, Chu Jingshuo was not as impatient as in the past, but stretched out his hand and gently patted Zhao Guifei's back, and deliberately softened his voice:

"The mother is right, the mother knows everything."

Chu Jingxuan comforted Zhao Guifei in his mouth, but there was something secretly flowing in his covered eyes.

He seemed to be thinking about something, and for a moment his expression became elusive.

Zhao Guifei was still talking to herself, as if she was whispering to Chu Jingxuan: "Don't worry, Shuo'er, with the mother concubine here, the mother concubine will not let anyone hurt you." ”

Chu Jingxuan responded carefully, and finally let go of the hand on Zhao Guifei's back.

"Mother, I want to talk to my father one last time."

Chu Jingxuan reminded Zhao Guifei in a low voice, maybe he deliberately downplayed the pronunciation of certain words, so for a while, no one heard what he said was the word 'last'.

Chu Hongzhen maintained the demeanor of a king, sitting on the throne, and the place where he was looked intimidating and out of reach.

Looking at the tall man in the hall, Chu Jingxuan opened his mouth in a hoarse voice:

"Father, my son wants to tell you something today, which is the kind of heart-wrenching words between fathers and sons of ordinary people."

Chu Hongzhen had never seen Chu Jingxuan like this, not only him, but no one in the hall, including Zhao Guifei, had ever seen such a scene.

Although there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes, Chu Hongzhen still did not refuse Chu Jingxuan.

Chu Jingxuan, who received the answer, smiled very kindly, just like the appearance he pretended to be in the past, and it seemed to be a little different.

"Does my father know how jealous his son is? The sons were jealous of him, and he was mad with jealousy. ”

Since Chu Jingxuan and Zhao Guifei were still kneeling on the ground, he could only raise his head and raise his face to speak.

Even if he was in such an embarrassed state, when he mentioned Chu Hongyi, he was still very arrogant, and his words were full of contempt for Chu Hongyi.

But this 'disdain' is so incompatible with the words that came out of Chu Jingxuan's mouth, and many people in the hall who don't know the truth are confused.

Cheng Xiaoxiao is one of them.

She only knew that Emperor Chu Hongzhen's least favorite was Chu Yunshen, and he treated the Seventh Prince more ordinarily.

But when it comes to treating Chu Hongyi and Chu Jingxuan, they are simply equal, and it seems that Chu Jingxuan has received more preference.

She didn't understand what Chu Jingxuan's brain-dead behavior was for, and she didn't understand what Chu Jingxuan's sudden verbal attack was for.

Even the rebellion, in her opinion, is just that Chu Jingxuan wants to be the emperor too much, and he is too suspicious of the future.

Whenever there is a little wind and grass, the grass and trees will be obscene for a long time, so this will speed up the pace to stabilize the monarch's heart, and plan to take the throne in one fell swoop.

Now that Chu Jingxuan said this, it seemed that he still had some grievances.

Say, say, I'll see what you can say.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Jingshuo with more interest than Chu Hongzhen, just waiting to listen to Chu Jingxuan's next 'nonsense'.

At the same time, she didn't forget to secretly reach out and grab Chu Hongyi's collar, and just right to block Chu Hongyi with her body, so that Su Guifei and the others would not see her 'criminal' left hand.

In order to control her younger brother who has been 'mentally retarded' for a long time, Cheng Xiaoxiao can be regarded as painstaking.

not only has to resist the injustice of public opinion, but also resists the incomprehension of the man you like.

If it weren't for Chu Jingxuan's movement, she was afraid that she would be killed by Chu Yunshen's frozen eyes.

Cheng Xiaoxiao flattered Chu Yunshen to look at Chu Jingxuan, and she also pretended to watch the play seriously.

Chu Jingshuo in the center of the hall smiled dejectedly, and asked again at Chu Hongzhen, who was still indifferent:

"Father doesn't believe in his son? The father thought that his son didn't know anything for so many years? ”

Everyone waited for a long time and couldn't wait for Chu Hongzhen's answer.

Only Chu Jingxuan was not surprised at all, as if all this was expected by him.

He probably didn't care what answer Chu Hongzhen would give him, he just fell into his own memories:

"The time when the fourteen hands were broken, Erchen was outside the door of the imperial study and heard the conversation between his father and Su Guifei with his own ears. Of course, the father can be said to be a young and ignorant son, and he remembers it wrongly. ”

Chu Jingxuan shook his arm absently, stretched out his hand from the wide sleeve, and slowly opened his shirt.

What are you doing! What are you doing?

Cheng Xiaoxiao was stunned by this sudden 'passionate stripping', she covered her eyes while secretly peeking at Chu Jingshuo through her fingers.

The end of her doing this naturally brought Chu Yunshen's more serious eyes.

But how thick-skinned Cheng Xiaoxiao is, no, how she is not afraid of power, she must face difficulties.

Fortunately, Chu Jingxuan only opened his shirt slightly, revealing his chest and collarbone, otherwise Chu Yunshen was afraid that he would really rush over to block Cheng Xiaoxiao's sight.

Chu Jingxuan pointed to his chest and raised his eyes to look at Chu Hongzhen, who didn't know why:

"Father, do you know where the arrow wound in my chest came from?"

He stretched the placket of his shirt a little bigger as he spoke: "This arrow wound was injured by the assassins who entered the palace at night on the day when my father first gave the emperor to his son Qing Wangfu and let him manage the household department. ”

The arrow wound did look like it was some years old, and the location of the wound seemed to be very close to the heart, and it was estimated that Chu Jingxuan would die if he was a few points closer.

Chu Hongzhen's expression was a little touched, his fingers moved on his knees, and he muttered for a moment and asked:

"Did the assassin catch it?"

Chu Jingxuan laughed happily again, his smile was dazzling, as if he was sarcastic.

"What if you catch it? It's just one of the wounds over the years. As serious as it is, there are many more on Erchen's body. ”

Chu Jingxuan pulled the placket and tidied up his collar, and replied to Chu Hongzhen's words nonchalantly.

Zhao Guifei looked at Chu Jingxuan's pretended chic movements, and her face was full of pain.

Others may have just been amazed, and she had apparently known about it all along.

Chu Jingxuan is her son, she can be willing to take the blame for Chu Jingxuan, and naturally feels sorry for these scars on Chu Jingxuan's body.

"I don't know any of this, I don't know ......"

Chu Hongzhen, who was sitting tall, had a somewhat ugly face, his eyes were complicated, like guilt, and more should be puzzled:

"You never tell me, but if you tell me ......"

"I've told you, it's going to be the same, or worse." Chu Jingxuan interrupted Chu Hongzhen's words with words, and he took a step ahead of Chu Hongzhen and said a conclusion again:

"If you tell your father, your father will think that he is deliberately trying to attract your attention. Besides, Father," Chu Jingxuan's voice paused, and he looked at Chu Hongzhen and finished his words calmly: "Father is more concerned about Fourteen's feelings, isn't it?" ”

"I ......"

Chu Hongzhen wanted to argue, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be very distressed, whether to explain Chu Hongyi's matter first, or to tell Chu Jingshuo something else.

"Father doesn't need to explain, these things are in the past. The sons know what to do. Chu Jingshuo raised his hand to stop Chu Hongzhen's words: "Besides, it is impossible for my father to tell the world because of these things, in fact, my father's favorite thing in my heart is fourteen." ”

From just now to now, Chu Jingxuan has been emphasizing one sentence, that is, Chu Hongzhen is partial to Chu Hongyi.

As the saying goes, if you catch a thief, you have to take the stolen goods, and you must have evidence to speak.
