Chapter 95: People Go
In the Luoyuan Palace, what happened on the night of the mutiny, all those who knew about it disappeared for some reason.
After the turmoil, there is calm. In a blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the fact that Concubine Chen took the Order of the Son of Heaven to launch the Luoyuan Mutiny spread all over the world.
The historian dipped his ink and put pen to paper, and on top of the history, he added a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people and left her name for future generations to scold and vent their anger.
And the corpse of the demon concubine was burned to ashes in front of everyone and raised in the mass grave, and when the world mentioned it, they were all full of curses, looking forward to the day when this demon concubine would never be born.
In the palace, Chu Zikai has been locked up, and Emperor Yuan has covered up the news, but after a long time, it is impossible for the wind to leak in.
The sound of the wind came into his ears, but he saw that Chu Zikai was unexpectedly calm. When Feng Yun presented the burnt black bracelet, Chu Zikai didn't look at it, got out of bed directly, and walked towards the palace of Emperor Yuan.
During this time, both father and son were recuperating from their injuries, and the door of the Yuan Emperor's palace was closed, and no one wanted to see him. The last stab of Yu Cheng at him was not deep, and everyone didn't think so.
But everyone underestimated Yu Cheng's cunning, and after a few days, Emperor Yuan's wounds began to fester. The imperial doctor carefully diagnosed and treated, and was shocked, and found that Emperor Yuan had signs of poisoning, and followed the investigation, and sure enough, he found that the knife was quenched with slow poison.
was already old and frail, and after Emperor Yuan was stabbed by this, various stubborn diseases followed, and it was difficult to recover. However, all threats were cleared, and Chu Zikai's road to the throne was smooth, and there was nothing to worry about.
Emperor Yuan knew in his heart that Chu Zikai was not a stupid person, and the play had to be just right before he would believe it. Yu Cheng's knife has become a chip with a little confidence in his gambling game.
I had already estimated the time and waited, and after hearing the rumors, Emperor Yuan nodded and agreed. Chu Zikai hurriedly entered, knelt down, and said directly with a hint of luck: "She is not dead, and she is not a betrayal." The father arranged everything just to trick his retainers into letting her go, right? ”
Emperor Yuan didn't raise his head, and replied in a flat tone: "She deserves death!" It's been shattered! ”
Every word was like a sword, which made Chu Zikai's heart feel a sharp pain, and he clenched his hand covered with cold sweat. Gritting his teeth, he said: "She didn't die, you lied to me." ”
As if helpless, Emperor Yuan glanced up at him, sighed, nodded slightly, and reluctantly admitted: "It's true that she didn't die." ”
Hearing this, Chu Zikai's heart fell with a hanging stone, and then he heard Emperor Yuan say: "The rest is true." Your life was almost in her hands, and with so many lives, I would rather change my son and become a prince than spend such a big price to deceive you. ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't catch his breath, and Emperor Yuan began to cough again, blood gushing out of his mouth and nose, this time it was definitely not pretended.
Seeing this, Chu Zikai stood up in shock and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Emperor Yuan waving his hand.
After taking out a handkerchief and wiping the blood stains by himself, Emperor Yuan smiled helplessly: "It's a miscalculation, Yu Cheng's daughters are trying to use them for their own use, and they deserve this crime." ”
Although everyone said so, Chu Zikai still didn't believe it. But these days, he was locked up in the house, and he learned from the palace that Emperor Yuan's injury was not light, and he was also worried in his heart, and asked anxiously: "Is my father's injury okay?" ”
Emperor Yuan replied: "She didn't kill me and you, not her mercy, only God's mercy." Give me a glimmer of life, and leave some days for me to prepare for your accession to the throne. ”
Chu Zikai understood the meaning of these words, and he was instantly alert.
Emperor Yuan had already thought about it, Yu Cheng's knife could not be suffered in vain, and he made up his mind to press this charge on Yu Zhao's head, and he was unable to tell: "The imperial doctor said that the knife she stabbed me was mixed with poison, and the fastest was only one month, and my body was rotten." ”
It's not that there is nowhere to confirm it in words, how can the real pain be faked, Chu Zikai couldn't react for a while, and in addition to grief, his heart was like a mirror. If Emperor Yuan wants to make himself die, he can do anything, but he will not do it at the cost of hurting his own life, let alone such a painful method.
There is no way to admit another fact that is difficult to accept......
This incident is grief, and now it is clear that both father and son have fallen silent. In the past, in this situation, Chu Zikai spoke first to break the deadlock. But I don't know what to say at the moment.
Since the death of Concubine Shu, it was Emperor Yuan who single-handedly blocked the pressure of the former courtiers to protect himself. At this moment, he suddenly learned that this thunderbolt on a sunny day, Chu Zikai couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, as a prince, he had to take responsibility and had to be calm.
Seeing that Chu Zikai was stunned, Emperor Yuan felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said with relief: "Don't be sad about anything, after I die, everything will be simple, and the superior will reach the top of ten thousand people, and the first thing is to stabilize the overall situation." Only then can you stand firm and not fall down. There is not so much time to grieve for those who have passed, and it does not help. ”
Chu Zikai was sad in his heart and did not express his opinion on his teachings. Emperor Yuan said again: "It's just that ruthless woman, don't think about it again in this life." ”
These days, Chu Zikai is restrained and can't move, but the people under him are not idle. The information that was probed back was presented in front of Chu Zikai one by one, and no flaws could be found.
remembered the knife she gave herself mercilessly on the day of the incident, plus the fatal blow left to Emperor Yuan. Chu Zikai gradually accepted the fact that Yu Zhao betrayed. Lost asked, "Where is she at the moment?" ”
"Don't think about it, I won't see it." After Emperor Yuan finished speaking, he didn't give Chu Zikai a chance to speak, took out a secret letter, and threw it heavily in front of him. Snorted coldly and said: "She is clever, not only will she fascinate you, just look at the secret letter sent to me by Yageqi, the crown prince of Zephani, as mentioned above, to protect her at all costs." He knew everything before, if I didn't allow it, he would know the world, and I and you, who will be the new king in the future, would lose their prestige. ”
When he said this, Emperor Yuan was full of confidence, because this letter was indeed true, and as soon as the news was announced to the world, Ye Geqi handed over the secret letter to Da Chu. However, at that time, Emperor Yuan had already arranged for Yu Zhao to leave, so he could only tell the truth, and at this moment, this letter had also become evidence that made Chu Zikai die.
Looking at the seal of the Western Fan Kingdom on the secret letter, Chu Zikai thought of the hurtful words that Yu Zhao said, and his teeth itched with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Is she willing to go with Ye Geqi?" ”
"If she can live, she is naturally willing to go." Emperor Yuan secretly looked at Chu Zikai's expression as he spoke, he didn't see any excessive emotions, he was a little relieved, and sighed lightly and persuaded: "No matter what, she has indeed helped you over the years, and has helped me come up with a lot of ideas, and raising Ziyi also has hard work, this time the merits and demerits are worth it, so you don't have to worry too much." ”
The merits and demerits offset each other, and the fluttering words made Chu Zikai's mood extremely heavy. So this is the reason why she can be allowed to erase everything before and throw herself into the arms of Yageqi?
Thinking of this, Chu Zikai clenched his fist in his sleeve, which proved that all the previous oaths were hypocritical words with a purpose. She's just trying to survive, no matter who can give her peace of mind. Chu Zikai is unwilling, it has nothing to do with love and hatred, it is the kind of unwillingness after frustration.
Knowing that Ye Geqi was interested in Yu Zhao, the two of them were competing with each other openly and secretly, Chu Zikai thought that he had a good chance of winning and was sure that she belonged to her.
But as soon as this incident came out, she knew that her heart could actually be shaken, and no one knew who the love in her heart really belonged to. But Yu Zhao's people left in the end, and tore through the disguise to reveal that ruthless side.
People and sincerity are empty, no one can tell who wins, Chu Zikai only knows that he may not have lost, if he wins, he is also deceiving himself and talking nonsense with his eyes open.
Suddenly understood what came over, Chu Zikai was sure that Yu Zhao had absolutely no intention of remembering the position of power in the palace before. Maybe it was the incident in the border city palace, and Emperor Yuan's warnings frightened her, or maybe it was anything after that that made her sense the threat. So I started caring about power.
Power is indeed tempting, a little contamination is addictive, Yu Zhao is also a human being, Chu Zikai can't guarantee that she won't be like this.
But she did everything to deceive at all costs, and she didn't care about the feelings of others! Emperor Yuan let her go, but Chu Zikai didn't want to let her go easily, and wanted to arrest her back and share the pain with him in the future.
The thoughts in his heart were turbulent, Chu Zikai hid his emotions, his eyes darkened, and he responded to Emperor Yuan's words in a low voice: "Father and emperor don't worry, sons and daughters know what to do." ”
