Chapter 173: The Emperor's Transformation

She looked around, but she couldn't see the figure of King Chen, so her tone was not good, "The emperor just asked His Royal Highness to think about it in the palace, Xiao Yi, you are so bold, you have no edict to force the palace, I will definitely go to the palace to sue you fiercely." ”

A look of lust and guilt appeared on Princess Chen's face, and she didn't see King Chen, almost destroying her only reliance.

"Auntie, Uncle Chen has defected."

"What? No way! Princess Chen's eyes widened, "It's impossible for Your Highness to defect!" ”

Xiao Yue's face was also full of surprise, but obviously she knew more than Princess Chen, so her face was only stunned for a moment, and the next moment was panic.

But he was not surprised.

Seeing this, Xie Li raised his eyebrows slightly, opened his lips and said softly: "Not only His Royal Highness King Chen has defected, but Xiao Jing has also fled to Beiliang." ”

Princess Chen fell into an ice cellar, just subconsciously looked at Xie Li, and muttered, "Impossible, absolutely impossible......"

And Xie Li's gaze naturally stayed on Xiao Yue, and sure enough...... Xiao Yue is in the know.

But it's normal to think about it, even Xie Tian knows, how could Xiao Yue not know?

Only Princess Chen, who has been carefully protected, is the one who is frightened.

But...... What about Xie Tian?

"Where did Xie Tian go?" Thinking of this, Xie Li opened his mouth and asked.

Lan Yuwei, who went to the duckweed courtyard, hurriedly stepped forward, "There is no trace of Aunt Xie in the duckweed courtyard, only this baby is abandoned on the bed. ”

Xie Li looked at Lan Yuwei, the baby had been wrapped in a large coat, and at this time his eyebrows and eyes were closed, breathing weakly.

Although Xie Li felt that he was not a good person, and he didn't even pay attention to this baby who could die at any time when he was talking, he ...... at this moment But I was moved by some compassion.

"Take it to Jishitang, let the doctor take a good look at it, and take care of it." Xie Li sighed softly, and Lan Yuwei hugged him and turned to leave.

A majestic palace was annihilated in the history of Southern Chu in this fire, and the news of the rebellion of King Chen's father and son, like a bird with wings, spread all over the streets and alleys overnight.

In the palace hall, the emperor sat on the top, the queen stood on one side, and Princess Chen and Xiao Yue sat on the ground, their faces full of sadness.

Other than that, there is no one else.

The crown prince Xiao Ze and the crown princess Shen Meng, who had just asked each other, had already returned to the East Palace, and the noisy Chaowen Hall fell silent in an instant, which made Princess Chen's crying even more poignant, and the listeners wept.

"Sister-in-law, princess, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, don't freeze your body." The queen glanced at the emperor and said softly, and glanced at Xiao Yue at the same time.

Xiao Yue wiped away her tears, quickly helped her mother up, and knelt on the ground respectfully.

Although she has an impulsive temperament, she is also accustomed to observing words and feelings.

The emperor's expression juice... And there wasn't a lot of anger.

"Queen, let the sister-in-law and Yue'er live in the palace first, the matter of Brother Chen has not yet been decided." I don't know what the emperor thinks, but he didn't believe what Xiao Yi said wholeheartedly.

“…… Be. The queen hesitated for a moment before respectfully responding.

When the emperor's figure disappeared into the palace of Chaowen, the queen's eyes were a little dazed.

Since the last rebellion of the remnants of Qianliang, the emperor seems to have something wrong.

Domineering and irritable, he can't tolerate the slightest suspicion from others, even the prince...... It has also been repeatedly reprimanded.

That gentle emperor seems to have something wrong.

Not only did the queen notice that something was wrong with the emperor, but the crown prince who faced him every day felt even more incredible.

"Lin Feng, have you seen your father's expression today?"

Xiao Yi nodded, "Your Majesty, it seems that you don't really believe in the words of the minister, and even faintly ...... Smell a rat. ”

The crown prince sighed, and then said slowly: "These days, if my father is a little unsatisfactory, he will beat and scold the palace people. ”

"Killed?" Xiao Yi was a little surprised, "Your Majesty has a gentle temperament, did the chamberlain do something unforgivable wrong?" ”

The prince smiled bitterly, "Not only the inner servants, but even the palace and the queen mother, have been scolded more recently than in the past ten years." ”

The bitterness on the prince's face couldn't be faked, and Xiao Yi fell silent.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yicai said slowly: "Forgive the minister, Your Highness, have you noticed that since the last time the remnants of Qianliang were killed at the gate of the palace, the emperor was frightened, his style of acting has changed from before, and even ...... Worlds apart? ”

The crown prince nodded, "If it weren't for that, this palace wouldn't be so worried." ”

"Has anyone been slandered?"

The crown prince shook his head, "The people in the court have not changed much, and everyone in the harem knows everything about it. ”

"In this way, it is the emperor's own sake."

The two pondered for a long time, but they still didn't know what the reason for the emperor's changes.

When Xiao Yi returned to King Huan's mansion, he found King Huan sitting at the big stone table in Qingzhu Courtyard.

The lights and candles in the room had stopped, and the only lone lamp was on the stone table.

Seeing Xiao Yi, a smile quickly appeared on King Huan's face, and he called in a low voice: "Ah Yi, you're back." ”

Xiao Yi's expression was slightly cold, and he stood in place without moving, "What are you doing here?" ”

He thought that he had scolded King Huan so mercilessly last time, and he would never set foot in Qingzhu Courtyard again.

"I'm waiting for you." King Huan didn't care about Xiao Yi's attitude at all, and even took a step forward with a lamp, "I listened to the matter of King Chen's Mansion today." ”

"And then?" Thinking of the "high and powerful" person in front of him, Xiao Yi couldn't listen to King Huan's words.

"Ah Yi, it is impossible for King Chen to rebel, there must be an inside story in this......"

"In front of everyone's eyes, the old people of Qianliang poured out of his palace, and he fled under the siege of the palace guards and the blue feather guards, it is impossible for you to rebel?" Xiao Yi sneered, "His Royal Highness King Huan doesn't hear anything outside the window, I'm afraid I don't know your brother anymore, right?" ”

"No, Ah Yi, listen to me." King Huan hurriedly argued, "King Chen, this person, it is possible to do anything, but it is impossible to rebel." ”

"So what was their father and son forcing the palace before?"

King Huan was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Yi sneered, "If there is one, there are two, there are three, father, don't you also want to change your mind?" Why can't King Chen rebel? ”

He looked sarcastic, "What's more, Xiao Jing has already entered Beiliang, doesn't my father think that what you say is nonsense?" ”

Over, Xiao Yi strode into the room.

After a while, the healing candle was lit in the house, and King Huan's face was full of bitterness, and he stood in the cold night breeze for a long time, and after making sure that the people in the house could not let him in, he walked out lonely.
