Chapter 45 One Mountain Can't Accommodate Two Tigers

When he came to the gate of the palace and looked at Yingyue, who was dozing in front of Chu Rong's carriage, Song Li remembered that since Yingyue was separated by the palace maid, she had disappeared.

"When did you leave the palace?"

She walked to the carriage and asked Yingyue curiously.

Yingyue woke up from her drowsiness in an instant and rubbed her somewhat hazy eyes, "Miss, you're out!" She looked at Song Li and yawned, and jumped down from the carriage, "Someone said earlier that you and the third princess drank too much, I was worried that you were going to look for you, and I met Shizi halfway, and he said that you are okay, let me not worry, there will be a big incident in the future, you don't have time to take care of me, let me go out of the palace first, so I rescued me and followed the Shang guards out." ”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the Xu family's carriage, leaned over to Song Li's side and asked in a low voice, "Miss, is something wrong?" Just now I saw General Xu enter the palace angrily, and then came out angrily with Miss Xu. ”

"Don't ask more questions if you shouldn't, go back and talk about it."

Song Li also saw the carriage of the Xu family, she glanced at it a few times, saw that the carriage had no intention of leaving, and was a little puzzled who Xu Ao was waiting for.

Just as she was about to get into the carriage, Xu Ao's attendant suddenly walked towards them.

"Chu Shizi, Miss Song, Gongzi Song, my general, has invited you to the carriage."

Xu Ao's attendant bowed to a few people and said respectfully.

Song Li and Song Huaijin looked at Chu Rong at the same time and asked for his opinion, Chu Rong nodded, looked at the carriage of the Xu family and said unhurriedly: "General Xu has an invitation, we shouldn't have refused, but Li'er's old injury has recurred, and we can't afford to delay more, so we will leave first." ”

"I have learned the truth about the matter in the palace today, and when Jiaojiao wakes up, I will definitely bring Jiaojiao to the door to thank you!"

Xu Ao's voice came from inside the carriage.

Chu Rong smiled, "Let's go first." ”

The words fell to Song Li and Song Huaijin with a look, and they took the lead in getting into the carriage.

The two followed.

It was already evening when I returned to King Jing's Mansion.

"Originally, the wound was going to heal...... Yingyue took off the gauze for Song Li, and looked at the wound that was torn out again, and felt a little distressed, "Miss, you should recuperate in the Jingwang Mansion during this time, and then go out when the injury is healed, otherwise it will be you who will hurt when you bump." She said worriedly, throwing the changed gauze into the basin.

Song Li leaned on the bed, her lips were a little pale, she had a light smile on her face, and she didn't care about the injury on her chest, "Okay, there was an accident just now and the wound was torn open, I will pay attention to it next time." ”

Yingyue glanced at her a few times, her face was displeased, and then she couldn't help but be a little curious when she thought of what happened in the palace in the afternoon.

"Miss, is something happening in the palace?"

She looked at Song Li and blinked.

Song Li smiled and briefly told Yingyue what happened in the palace, only to see Yingyue's face surprised.

"Third Prince......" she paused as she wrapped the gauze, a little incredulous, "He actually wants to cook raw rice with Miss Xu?" Hasn't the emperor always hated people engaging in such small actions, how dare he? ”

The corners of Song Li's mouth rose slightly, and a sarcastic smile bloomed, "Xu Ao has half of Tianxuan's military power in his hands, such a big piece of fat, how could Chu Tiancheng watch him fall into someone else's mouth." ”

Yingyue nodded as if she didn't understand, and continued the work at hand, "So the third prince wants to use Xu Jiaojiao to coerce Xu Ao to join his camp?" ”

Song Li shook his head, a hint of profundity flashed in his eyes, "It's not coercion, it's coercion, if Xu Jiaojiao really loses her life to him, there will only be two situations......"

"One, die, but Xu Ao held Xu Jiaojiao in the palm of his hand, how could he bear to see her die, but he couldn't guarantee Xu Jiaojiao's fierce temperament. Second, getting married, this is also Chu Tiancheng's sure that Xu Ao would not dare to do this because he would not see Xu Jiaojiao die. ”

"Whether it's death or marriage, it's not a loss for Chu Tiancheng anyway, if Xu Jiaojiao would rather die than give in, then it will be Xu Jiaojiao who dies, it has nothing to do with him, and it won't affect her, if it is married, it will just follow his wishes and tie the Xu family and him together."

"Xu Ao holds half of Tianxuan's military power, and with his help, even the crown prince may not be able to fight against him, but it's a pity that it's ......."

As she spoke, the smile on her face grew.

"It's a pity that I was stopped by Miss and Shizi!"

Yingyue knotted the gauze and smiled at the neat bow.

"No, no, no." Song Li shook his head with a smile and swore solemnly: "Even if we don't stop it, Chu Tiancheng won't be able to get his wish!" ”

Yingyue was a little stunned, "Why?" ”

"Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three princes are fighting each other, equally, and restraining each other, which is the situation that the emperor likes to see the most." She pointed to the teapot on the table, signaling that she was a little thirsty, and then continued: "The emperor is still young now, how can he let go of power and be an idle emperor now." ”

"One mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, the prince is another tiger for the emperor, there must be an injury when the two tigers fight, although the prince is benevolent, but there have been many cases in the previous dynasty where the prince forced the palace to usurp the throne, in order to avoid the performance in history, Emperor Tianxuan can only support one person to restrain the prince, looking at the harem, the most suitable is only the three princes."

"Miss, you drink saliva first."

Seeing that what Song Li said was reasonable, Yingyue nodded in agreement and poured water for her.

She took the teacup, took a sip and moistened her throat and continued: "Behind the three princes is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and behind the crown prince is the Guogong Mansion, which is just on par with each other, Xu Ao will break the balance no matter which side he joins, once the balance is lost, the most dangerous is the emperor." ”

"The heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, the prince is gentle, courteous, frugal and benevolent, even if he has Xu Ao's support, with his character, he can't do anything to force the emperor to abdicate, but it's hard to say about the third prince."

Yingyue was a little puzzled when she heard this, "The prince is actually benevolent, so why does the emperor still guard against him?" ”

"The emperor is not the crown prince." Song Li smiled, his expression was a little cold, "It's the Defense Mansion!" ”

"Huh?!"

Yingyue obviously didn't understand the relationship.

Song Li didn't explain, it wasn't a day and a half for Emperor Tianxuan to want to eradicate the Guogong Mansion, otherwise the Guogong Mansion would not have stood in the prince's team early.

Now that the Guogong Mansion is still useful, Emperor Tianxuan will not do anything, but it will not make the Guogong Mansion too peaceful.

History has not been less than a dominantly powerful person, unwilling to rebel under others or cultivate a puppet emperor to control the world, and the century-old prosperity of the Guogong Mansion has made Emperor Tianxuan jealous.

In order to keep the throne of the Chu family, she would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of a hundred, even if she were her, she might do the same, after all, people's hearts are the most difficult to satisfy.

And in the same way, why is Chu Tianfeng the crown prince, not Chu Tiancheng.

In addition to the difference between the concubines, there is also a big reason.

The queen's maiden family has been in the army for generations, and no one has set foot in the court, even if the crown prince ascends the throne, the queen's mother family will not rise because of the prince's status.

And the prime minister is already half of the sky in the middle of the court now, if the third prince becomes the emperor, it may not be possible to say whether the surname Chu or the surname Bai will be in the future.

"Ahh

She patted Yingyue's face and changed the topic, she didn't want Yingyue to get involved in these troubles, as long as she was by her side and served her.

After Song Li's reminder, Yingyue remembered that she had forgotten about Song Li's medicine, she patted her head in annoyance, and hurriedly picked up the basin containing blood gauze and hurriedly left the bedroom.

Song Li looked at Yingyue's appearance, smiled, and thought of the injured Chu Rong.

Since returning to King Jing's Mansion, Chu Rong and Song Huaijin have gone into the study.

Even the matter of bandaging the wound medicine was handed over to Yingyue.

"Merchants?"

She thought about it for a while, and was about to call out Shang Zhi to inquire about Chu Rong's injury.

After not responding for a long time, she frowned slightly, got down from the bed and sorted out her clothes, put on her shoes and prepared to go to the study to see Chu Rong's injuries.

As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, Yingyue cautiously followed with a bowl of medicine.

"Miss, where are you going?"

She took the medicine and drank it dry, wiped the medicine on the side of her mouth, and her brows twisted into a Sichuan character.

"I'll go see Chu Rong."

As he spoke, he stuffed the bowl into Yingyue's arms and turned to leave.

"Qi Yu, you're too impulsive......"

As soon as he came to the study, Song Li heard Song Huaijin's complaints.

The door of the study was closed, and she couldn't see the situation inside, so she hesitated and knocked on the door, and whispered, "I'm in." ”

After speaking, he pushed the door and entered, behind the closed door, Chu Rong sat cross-legged on the tuanpu with his eyes closed, while Song Huaijin held his hands in front of his chest with a worried expression.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing her come in, Song Huaijin's eyes swept over her face and fell to the place where she was injured.

"I'll come over and see Chu Rong."

She smiled, walked to Song Huaijin's side, and looked at Chu Rong who was pranayama motionlessly.

The afterglow of the sunset through the window spread on Chu Rong's body, putting a thin veil on his heavenly heroism.

There was not a trace of blood on his lips, and there was a faint force hovering around him.

After a long time, the sky was dyed with a layer of gray, and Chu Rong stopped breathing and opened his eyes.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing him open his eyes, Song Huaijin hurriedly stepped forward to hold his shoulder, his face full of worry.

"It's okay, if General Xu's palm hits me, I don't think I can bear it......" The corners of his mouth raised a beautiful arc, shook his head, and his voice was a little weak.

Song Li looked sideways slightly.

Even Chu Rong couldn't resist Xu Ao's full blow? How deep is Xu Ao's internal strength......

"Shang Zhi, let's set the table."

Chu Rong coughed in a muffled voice, stood up with Song Huaijin's support, and commanded externally.

"Yes, Shizi!"

Shang Zhi was quick to respond.

The three of them came to the table and sat down.

"I didn't expect the emperor to be so angry with the actions of the third prince, and beat him to the top thirty boards, not to mention, and grounded him ......"

Song Huaijin was silent for a moment, a little puzzled by Emperor Tianxuan's actions.
