Chapter Fifty-Six: Into the Heavenly Prison
Huo Zhao and Helian Chen looked at each other, since their father-in-law said so, it was not good for them to continue to ask like this, they would know for a while, why rush at this time.
Helian Chen walked into the imperial study, Helian Rongxu was reviewing the recital, and he didn't raise his head because of Helian Chen's arrival, Helian Chen was not annoyed, he kept standing and didn't speak, several times Huo Zhao wanted to question Helian Rongxu, but Helian Chen secretly stopped him.
After a long time, Helian Rongxu finally raised his head, sighed and said, "You are here, sit down." ”
Helian Chen glanced at Huo Zhao and motioned for him to go out first, although Huo Zhao was a little worried, but Helian Chen's martial arts were always above Helian Rongxu, and Helian Rongxu should not dare to do anything with him.
After Huo Zhao went out, Helian Rongxu put down the fold in his hand and said, "I'm sorry, this time I was reckless." ”
Helian Chen was slightly stunned, you know, how difficult it is to make the Son of Heaven bow his head and admit his mistakes, and to get an apology from the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid Helian Chen is the first person in the past.
"The minister is afraid, and please ask the emperor not to say it again." Helian Chen suddenly knelt down and said.
Helian Rongxu came to Helian Chen's face, slowly helped him up, looked at Helian Chen with a complicated expression, looked at it for a long time, and finally turned into a sigh: "I can't compare to you after all, I think too much, I think you will covet my throne, I think I am still narrow-minded, if you really have the heart for the throne, I am afraid that this Jin Anguo would have changed its master long ago." ”
Helian Chen didn't speak, he didn't have any idea about the throne all the time, he was only willing to be an idle prince, but before the death of the emperor, Helian Rongxu was handed over to him, and in desperation, Helian Chen began to assist Helian Rongxu and officially stepped into the officialdom.
"Uncle Huang······" Helian Rongxu called lightly, Helian Chen's body trembled, he hadn't heard Helian Rongxu call him that for a long time, and he didn't know when it started, maybe it started when he was suspicious of him.
"Rong Xu, you have grown up, there are some things you need to learn to judge, you not only have to see with your eyes, listen with your ears, but also feel with your heart, Uncle Huang can't teach you anything, from the beginning of your real power, Uncle Huang can only protect you silently on the side." Helian Chen said earnestly.
Helian Rongxu sat beside Helian Chen like a child, like when he was a child, listening to Helian Chen's teachings, since Chu Xiaoxiang's words, he has been thinking about whether Helian Chen is worth believing, and then he reflected on it, this man has been growing up with him, has been silently paying a lot for him, and paved a lot of roads for him, if this man can't believe it, then who can?
"Uncle Huang, I'm sorry, it's because I trust those traitors too much, so they have a chance." Helian Rong said guiltily.
Helian Chen shook his head, everything is over, he doesn't want to worry too much about the past, and he is not dead, the road to heaven is endless, isn't it?
"It's just that I still don't understand something, what does Uncle Huang want to do?" Helian asked puzzled.
Helian Chen smiled and said: "Now the situation in the court is turbulent, some ministers are relying on the emperor to be too young and do mischief, and almost all the officials and ministers promoted by the emperor are the prime minister's people, the prime minister's ambition is obvious, and the minister thinks that he must quickly cut through the chaos and get rid of the prime minister as soon as possible." ”
"But we don't have any evidence, so why do we have that?" Helian Rongxu had already seen the prime minister's ambitions, but he was embattled, and at that time he thought that Helian Chen was also a rebellious minister and thief, so he hadn't started to attack the prime minister yet.
In addition, Qin Ruo, the daughter of the prime minister, is in Helian Rongxu's harem, I heard that since Chu Zhiyun was beaten into the cold palace, Qin Ruo's methods have slowly been revealed, and the ruthlessness is no less than that of Chu Zhiyun before.
So it led to the murder of many daughters of loyal ministers in the harem, and there is no news that the emperor has no heir today, Helian Chen has already thought about it, if he wants to bring down the prime minister, he must cut off one of his arms, Qin Ruo, this woman, can't stay.
"Your Majesty, you must remember what the minister wants to say next, and you can't tell anyone, God knows that you know and I know, and the minister and the emperor will put on a big show for them." Helian Chen smiled and said.
Helian Rongxu nodded, put his ear to Helian Chen's mouth, and the two began to plan in a whisper, Helian Chen has been paying attention to the prime minister for a long time, and has thought of a way for a long time, the harem cannot be stable, and the previous dynasty must not be stable.
"Let's ······"
It was not early, Helian Chen walked out of Helian Rongxu's imperial study, feeling much better, their uncle and nephew could be regarded as solving the misunderstanding, and then they were waiting for the big drama to play, but they were going to wronged Chu Xiaoxiang.
On the morning of the second day, Helian Rongxu announced in the morning court that he had found the assassin's mastermind behind the scenes, and also pulled one of the assassins into the court on the spot, and the assassin identified Helian Chen as the mastermind behind the assassination, and Helian Chen knelt down on the spot and shouted that he was wronged.
Helian Rongxu wanted to get rid of Helian Chen's heart, and many ministers saw it in their eyes, and they didn't dare to step forward to speak for Helian Chen, because the human and material evidence was there, and Helian Chen was sent to the prison for the crime of rebellion, and he was waiting to be released.
"What! You said that Helian Chen was beaten into the prison by Helian Rongxu? Chu Xiaoxiang stood up from the chair and asked incredulously, she had only slept for a day, what happened?
"Yes, princess, I heard that the prince was sent to heaven by the emperor for the crime of rebellion, and there are all human and material evidence, and no one in the court dares to intercede for the prince." Tao Yao cried and said.
The crime of rebellion, that is a big sin that will even involve the nine clans, and none of them will be able to escape at that time, how can it be like this? Chu Xiaoxiang also felt incredible, why was he suddenly thrown into prison? Her figure was in a trance for a while, but fortunately she was held up by Zhuohua and did not fall.
"Zhuohua, where is Huo Zhao? Call him here! Chu Xiaoxiang said with a pale face.
Zhuo Hua lowered his head, and suddenly began to cry, and replied while sobbing: "Back to the princess, Huo Zhao was also arrested and put in the heavenly prison by those people. ”
Chu Xiaoxiang's anger rushed to her head all of a sudden, she spit out a mouthful of blood, and clenched her hands into fists, Very good, Helian Rongxu, you successfully angered me, dare to touch her bottom line, it seems that he, the emperor, does not want to live.
Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly vomited blood and frightened Zhuohua and Tao Yao, they hurriedly brought handkerchiefs and wiped them clean for Chu Xiaoxiang: "Princess, don't make your body angry, let's hurry up and find a way to save the prince." ”
The top priority is to ask Helian Rongxu clearly, what is going on, he didn't listen to what she said that day, and he still insisted that Helian Chen just had thoughts about his throne.
Chu Xiaoxiang pushed Zhuohua and Tao Yao away, and walked towards the palace despite their obstacles, who knew that when she just approached the palace, a group of people ran out and surrounded her.
It turned out that Helian Rongxu had long expected that she would come to him, so he set up an ambush on the way to enter the palace, just waiting for her to throw herself into the net, Chu Xiaoxiang, Chu Xiaoxiang, you are really living more and more, and you don't have any brains at all!
"Princess, please don't embarrass your subordinates, your subordinates are also acting on orders, and please ask the princess to go with us." One of the soldiers said.
Chu Xiaoxiang narrowed his eyes, took out a dagger from his sleeve and threw it at the soldier, the dagger stabbed into the soldier's throat fiercely, and he fell to the ground when he saw blood.
The soldiers looked at each other, and they all attacked Chu Xiaoxiang, Chu Xiaoxiang threw all the daggers in his hands at the soldiers, and one turned around and dodged their attack, which was really a group of people who were beyond their strength.
When she touched her sleeve again, she suddenly found that there was no dagger anymore, it was too anxious to go out, and she didn't have time to fill it, which is terrible.
Seeing that Chu Xiaoxiang no longer threw the dagger, the soldiers also began to be bold, holding the swords and guns in their hands, and attacked her, Chu Xiaoxiang, who had no weapons, was a little defeated by them, after all, there were too many of them, and in the end they were caught by the soldiers who kept coming to support.
They took Chu Xiaoxiang into the prison, locked her up, and didn't say anything else, no matter how Chu Xiaoxiang asked, they just didn't say a word.
"Hey, don't go! Tell me where Helian Chen is, hey! Chu Xiaoxiang shouted angrily, but the soldiers had already gone away, and the only thing that responded to her was the echo from the prison.
Chu Xiaoxiang sat on the ground a little dejected, now it's okay, no one saw it, but was beaten into the prison, but it was a little strange, although these soldiers attacked her, but they didn't hurt her, although Chu Xiaoxiang's clothes were a little messy, but there were no scars.
But no matter what, she still came to give Helian Rongxu a head, since she came here, she has become a little vulnerable, and sure enough, she can't defeat a group of people alone.
In the past few days, there is no Helian Chen in the court, and the fox tails of those traitorous ministers are gradually revealed, without the regent's pressure on them, King Tai'an has not come to the court since Chu Zhiyun was put into the prison, and these traitors feel that the entire court is their world.
And the prime minister gradually released his ambition little by little, unabashedly, although Helian Rongxu has been talking to them with a smile in the past few days, his heart is cold.
"What? You say the princess regent is being held in prison? Really? Qin Ruo, who had been staying in the harem, suddenly heard his personal maid say.
Qin Ruo's personal maid nodded, and whispered in front of Qin Ruo: "Returning to the queen's mother, it is true, the slave maid has a cousin who is on an errand in prison, and he saw the princess regent in the prison with his own eyes. ”
Qin Ruo sneered, God really helped me, now that the regent has fallen, as the regent princess, she will naturally be arrested, but she will never allow Chu Xiaoxiang to live in this world, Helian Rongxu's mind he has already seen through.
"You, go and bring the crane top red in the room of the main palace, and the palace will go to meet our princess regent in person!" Qin Ruo narrowed his eyes, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
