"I have a home, why should I be displaced with you? I can enjoy the wealth of the world, why should I suffer from three meals? I could have been the mother of the world, why should I follow you to be intolerable to heaven and earth? ”

"Cheryl?" He looked at her in disbelief, why his confidante, who was so in tune with him and who was in tune with him, could say something he didn't understand at all. "You said that you hate worldly disputes, and you yearn for the life of 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan', why do you ......?"

"Hehehe, it is said that Chu Shizi is transparent, but he is also a fool. That kind of hard life, it's okay to experience it occasionally, how can you live it for a long time? Listen, what I want is glory and wealth, and what I want is to be a mother in the world, and use my talent to display my ambitions, not to be a peasant woman! Unless I'm crazy and stupid, how could I give up the prince and choose you, a proton who has nothing? ”

"Glory and wealth, motherhood and the world, is it really what you want?" He pressed again.

"Yes, not only that, but I will also assist the prince in sweeping the kingdoms, and I will become the most noble woman in the whole world." Her words struck at his heart word by word.

"Why? Cheryl, you lied to me, you're not such a person! ”

"yes, I've been lying to you. Because you are very stupid and easy to deceive, you even believed me when I lied to you that I wanted to be a village woman, hahahaha...... Wake up, Chu Fusheng, don't be stupid! I'm willing to play with you, that's because I think you're more fun, and it's different from those stupid melons, you even take it seriously! ”

Cheryl ......" He still didn't want to believe what he was seeing, and tried to wake her up, hoping that she would soon laugh again and say that it was just a joke. Only, once again, he was disappointed.

"You go, don't come to me from now on. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew what you did today, he would have killed me. Don't come to me again, I'm tired of it. ”

His lips trembled with anger: "Jiang Xuerou, I will only fall in love with you when I am blind." ”

He admits that at first it was true that he couldn't take his eyes off her beauty, but despite this, he didn't think anything wrong. But from chance encounters again and again, to later appointments, he found a spiritual belonging. She was more beautiful on the inside than on the outside, and gradually, he didn't dare to see her again, and he couldn't help but go to see her. He knew that in this life, he couldn't let go.

Even if he knew that it was a capital crime, he would give it a try, he wanted to take her away and live the life of a fairy couple. Even if he was unfortunately caught, he had thought of a way to get out for her, if he wanted to die, he would only be killed, and she could still be her crown princess. He thought that she would hesitate, he would explain to her slowly, and he would think of all the ways out. It's just that he couldn't have imagined that she would have such an attitude.

Watching him leave angrily, Jiang Xuerou had tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry, Fusheng." If I were alone, I would surely go with you. ”

After Chu Fusheng went back, he couldn't afford to be sick, and King Liang was worried that he was pretending to be sick, so he specially sent the prince to visit with a medical officer, and concluded that he was indeed infected with a stubborn disease, and there was no medicine for him.

Chu Fusheng wrote a letter to the king of Chu during his illness and handed it to Tingwei to send, which first fell into the hands of Prince Liang.

Wei Yuanhui sneered after seeing it: "I want to return to China at this time, I want to be beautiful!" Take it and burn it! ”

"Why is Your Highness angry?" Jiang Xuerou stepped forward with a smile.

"Chu Fusheng is that sick seedling, and he actually wants to ask the King of Chu to take him back to China, it's really a fool's dream!" Wei Yuanhui said disdainfully.

"Oh? Can you give Cheryl a look? ”

"Look, burn it after you're done."

"Your Highness, Xue Rou thinks it's a good thing that Chu Shizi can go back." Jiang Xuerou smiled and closed the letter.

Wei Yuanhui took her hand: "Then I want to listen to what Xue Rou has to say?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, sending the prince as a hostage is just a means of diplomatic relations, because with this proton, the two countries whitewash the peace, if the prince of Chu really dies of illness in Yicheng, no matter what the reason, my Liang will be charged with mistreating the proton."

"Then let him go back like that? It's too cheap for him! ”

"No, on this basis, His Royal Highness can repair a letter to the King of Chu, and ask him to send someone to bring Chu Fusheng back, and at the same time send another proton over."

"This ...... King Chu, will he agree? ”

"If he doesn't agree, he has to agree, although the state of Chu is now said to have no lining, but he still wants face, if the prince of the state of Chu really dies in Yicheng, the state of Chu will also have a reputation for cowardice, isn't he afraid that other countries will join forces to attack Chu? Unless he has enough strength, he must befriend the big beam on the bright side. ”

"Xue Rou has a point."

"Moreover, this Chu Fusheng is the most disdainful son of the King of Chu, and His Royal Highness can ask him to change to a favored son. Although I am a strong soldier and a strong horse, I will not be afraid of his small Chu country, but more things are better than less things, Chu Guo's security is divided, and His Royal Highness can also devote himself to building a great cause in the future. ”

"Okay, Cheryl, just do as you say."

When the king of Chu received Chu Fusheng's letter, he was also moved with a trace of compassion. In his letter, he mentioned that he was terminally ill and had a short life, and he was unable to honor his filial piety, and he was deeply ashamed and a son of man in vain. Although there is no mention of returning home, anyone who looks at it can feel the longing of a dying person for his homeland and loved ones. The king of Chu suddenly remembered that although this son was not favored, he was unusually obedient and sensible, fulfilled filial piety, and did not fight or rob.

It's just that when he saw Prince Liang's letter, he immediately became angry and clapped: "The vertical son deceives people too much!" ”

He immediately consulted with the ministers, and finally unanimously came to the conclusion that he would repair a letter to King Liang, proposing to take back the prince Chu Fusheng and send the prince Chu Zhongyu to Yicheng for exchange.

Wei Yuanhui took Jiang Xuerou to the Jingxi Pavilion where Proton lived, and sneered at Chu Fusheng in the name of visiting the patient. This Chu Fusheng, who doesn't know what to do, admires Jiang Xuerou, he knows a little bit, it's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and he dares to rob him of the beauty of Prince Liang.

The envoys of the state of Chu arrived in Yicheng not long after, and in the name of friendship between the two countries, Wei Yuanhui personally received them, greeted Chu Zhongyu, and sent Chu Fusheng off. When Chu Fusheng stepped over the door of Jingxi Pavilion, he tripped under his feet, and immediately fell forward and rolled out of the threshold.

Wei Yuanhui laughed: "The prince has returned to the Chu State, but he really has to recuperate, and he can't even walk steadily, tsk." Then he turned to the officer who was escorting the prince and said, "Zhao Tingwei has to protect the prince all the way, and the prince has weak bones, so don't make any mistakes on the road." ”

"Thank you for the prince's care, and the last general will take the prince to say goodbye."

"No."

Chu Fusheng turned his head to look at Jiang Xuerou who was standing beside Wei Yuanhui, Wei Yuanhui was in trouble everywhere, but she didn't say a word, which was in stark contrast to the day when the garden helped him out of the siege. He got into the carriage, lowered the curtains, and never looked at her again. His eyes looked in the direction of Chu State, and there was a hint of fierceness.

Back in the state of Chu, Chu Fusheng ignored the fatigue of the journey, supported his sick body to meet the king of Chu, the king of Chu saw that he was almost not human, no matter how hard his heart was, he softened a little, and ordered him to take good care of the floating son.

During Chu Fusheng's recuperation, he would go to see the king of Chu every day, rain or shine, in his words, his dying people, to be able to fulfill one more day of filial piety is a blessing from God, which cannot be avoided. King Chu was moved and couldn't help but re-examine this son.

One side of the water and soil supports the other side, or maybe the conditions of the Chu Palace are better than those of the Jingxi Pavilion, and a month later, Chu Fusheng miraculously recovered. During this month, his relationship with the king of Chu also improved.

The king of Chu found that this son was not only knowledgeable, but also modest and cautious, not fighting or grabbing, and being a brother and brother. Although he was born by the woman he hated, he was also his own clock, and this was the son who was most like him, and he was more angry than the other sons, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Gradually, the king of Chu will also entrust some things to him, and he will hand over an answer sheet that exceeds expectations, and the king of Chu is more and more satisfied with this son. Those people in the court were all elites, and they naturally understood the direction of the wind in the palace of the king of Chu, and began to have people take refuge in him, but he refused them one by one, saying that he was from a humble background and was not worthy of being on the throne, as long as he could make contributions to the great Chu, he would be satisfied.

It's not that he really doesn't lack people, it's that he doesn't want these people and doesn't dare to ask for them. First, the grass on the wall is not what he needs, what he is trying to do, he needs absolute loyalty. Second, I don't know if these are the traps of his father or his brother, and how dare he step into them easily. What he is trying to do now is playing with fire, and if he is not careful, he will set himself on fire. Singing and dancing on the surface, secretly sabre-rattling, in this Chu capital, he is more cautious than in Yicheng.

What kind of person does he want? Shi Qi is one. This person is tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he is extremely brave in killing enemies on the battlefield, just because he is the second prince's person, so he was impeached by the princelings, saying that this person is cruel and murderous, and he is more than Bai Qi. When the king of Chu saw that the evidence was conclusive, he was immediately dismissed, and the second prince did not dare to commit crimes against the wind and was no longer confined to him, so he had to work as an iron-struck business.

Chu Fusheng looked at the blacksmith three times before inviting him back to the mansion (at this time he already had his own mansion), but he just raised him and didn't let him do anything. Shi Qi is a rough person, so if you don't understand, you ask.

He smiled and said: "If you open an iron shop, you should know that good steel should be used on the blade, you are my strange soldier, I have to hide it so that I can be surprised." ”

"But if Childe doesn't give me something to do, I always feel idle."

"Who said you don't have anything to do, if you are bored, just pick some eye-catching guards in my mansion and let them accompany you through the tricks."

Shi Qi is a rough man, but he is not stupid, he immediately understood, and the prince asked him to pick some loyal and potential guards in the mansion to train and form a team of strange soldiers.

"Sheng'er, I heard that you invited Shi Qi back to the house, but is there such a thing?"

"It is true." He replied unhurriedly, from the moment he invited Shi Qi back, he thought that he might be discovered, and he had already thought of his words, but he had to be more cautious in doing things after that, and some things could not be explained.

"Father, please listen to the words of Fusheng. Although this Shi Qi is tyrannical, his ability to kill the enemy on the field should not be underestimated. He was already impatient, and because he couldn't reuse it, he made a living by striking iron, and he complained. In this situation, if an enemy country takes him away, he will become a strong enemy of my Great Chu. It is better for the child to take him under the door, eat and drink and wait, first, he is grateful to the child for knowing the grace of the encounter will not be treason to the enemy, and secondly, the child will not let him do anything, so that he will gradually indulge in gentleness, and then he will be powerless even if he wants to resist. ”

"If Sheng'er is worried that he will commit treason and join the enemy, he will kill him directly, why bother?"

"Father, Shi Qi is extremely cruel to prisoners of war, but he is notoriously protective of the people and his own people. When he was deposed, there was already some discussion, and if he died mysteriously, I was afraid that it would attract more suspicion and be unfavorable to my father. ”

"What the child said is very true!"
