Jia Tong's exit from the palace was not smooth, and he was stopped before he arrived at the palace gate, saying that it was the queen's funeral, and no one was allowed to enter and leave at will.

Jia Tong is simply funny, he is not the only one who leaves the palace, why don't you stop others, but stop him? He handed the waist card to the forbidden army: "You open your eyes and take a good look, I am the first-class guard next to the King of Chu." ”

Those people obviously wanted to embarrass him, they didn't look at the waist card at all, and looked fierce: "It doesn't matter who you are, you are not allowed to come out, if you mess around again, you will not be polite." ”

Jia Tong had no choice but to go back to find Murong Mian.

Ning Jiu heard it on the side and glared at him, "If they don't let you out, you won't find a way to get out by yourself?" ”

Jia Tong was not angry, "What can I do, in broad daylight, without covering, I can fly over their heads?" ”

Ning Jiu also wanted to say, but was stopped by Murong Mian raising his hand, "Trap me here and don't let me out, will the emperor be the idea of playing pearls?" Ning Mei thought for a moment, "No, I'll go find the emperor." ”

He raised his feet and left, and Jia Tong muttered in a low voice behind him: "It's good to take it away." "If you take it, the little princess will be able to come back.

In the Chengde Palace, Prime Minister Bai was urging the emperor, "Your Majesty, you can't miss the opportunity, you can't hesitate anymore." ”

The emperor only felt a headache and rubbed his temples vigorously: "Right now, it's the queen's funeral, I'm afraid it's not good to do it at this time?" ”

"It is precisely because it is the queen's funeral, and the king of Chu supervises the overall situation, let's take a little bit of his shortcomings at will, and we can use the topic to play a role in curing his crimes, the people in the palace have been arranged, this time, he is difficult to fly."

The emperor still hesitated: "Although he has handed over the military power, he has a very high prestige in the army, and I am afraid of ...... move him at this time."

"The emperor forgot, in the past two years, we have been secretly pulling forces in the army, the king of Chu has military power in hand, we have been able to compete with him, and now he has lost his military power, and the phoenix that has lost his hair is not as good as a chicken, without relying on him, the emperor can still create a prosperous generation."

The emperor still had a headache, pressed hard, and was about to speak, when Gao Shenghai hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the King of Chu is here." ”

"What is he going to do," said the Emperor impatiently, "I said that I would not see anyone, and told him to leave." ”

"The servant said that the emperor wanted to stay quietly, and no one would see him, but the king of Chu said that if the emperor didn't see him, he would definitely regret it."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, he knew Murong Mian's character, he was easy not to threaten people, if he said so, there must be something important to say to him.

"Call him in." The emperor turned his head and said to Prime Minister Bai, "You go in and take avoidance." ”

Prime Minister Bai was not very happy, but the emperor opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but obey, so he had to go inside.

Soon Murong Mian came in, made the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and when he raised his head, two eyes slowly swept over the emperor's face, for the emperor, it was a scrutinizing or insightful gaze, he was very unhappy and a little apprehensive.

"Sit down," the Emperor said indifferently, "you came to me at this time, but is there something wrong?" ”

Murong Mian looked at him, compared to the appearance of losing his soul in Fengming Palace that night, the emperor at this moment looked very normal, wearing a jade crown on his head, wearing a dragon robe, his face was calm, but the green shadow under his eyes was obvious, as if he hadn't slept well for a few days.

"The courtier brother came to the imperial brother to ask for a favor, the courtier brother has been in the palace for three days, Ming'er is the Chinese New Year's Eve, although the empress is mourned, the year is not an adult, but there are still some things in the palace that need to be taken care of by the courtier brother personally, now the queen has installed the coffin, and can enter the soil only after the law is done, so the courtier brother wants to take a leave of absence with the imperial brother, go back today, and arrange the affairs in the palace again."

The emperor took a sip of the teacup, and said slowly: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, I handed over such a big matter to you, it's not good to leave a stall halfway, I trust you, don't let me down." ”

"The younger brother will definitely live up to the love of the royal brother, but the matter that the younger brother wants to go back to deal with is extraordinary, if the younger brother does not go back, I am afraid that it will cause some unnecessary trouble."

The emperor disagreed, "What's the matter, you have to go back?" ”

Although there was no one in the hall, Murong Mian still approached the emperor and lowered his voice, "Brother Chen's return this time is because of ......."

Prime Minister Bai stood in the dark and pricked up his ears to listen, but at the critical moment, he only heard the sound of buzzing talking, but he couldn't hear what Murong Mian said in the end?

Then there was a period of silence, neither of them spoke, and Prime Minister Bai felt a different atmosphere, and he was very anxious, for fear that the emperor would be moved by the king of Chu, and agreed to let him out of the palace.

was secretly anxious, and the emperor's voice finally sounded, "That is the case, you will go back, and come back when you have done something, the queen's affairs here still need you to take care of." ”

"Yes, my brother knows, and he will come back as soon as he finishes his work."

Prime Minister Bai was dumbfounded, and sure enough, he guessed it, and hurriedly turned out from behind, but he only saw the king of Chu's robe flashing, and the person had disappeared at the door.

"Your Majesty, you are confused," Prime Minister Bai shouted anxiously, "Let him go back, it is to let the tiger return to the mountain, the emperor ......"

The emperor ignored him, called Gao Shenghai in, asked him to convey the message, and let the king of Chu out of the palace.

Prime Minister Bai was chattering on the side, "Your Majesty, it's still too late, block the palace gate and simply behead the king of Chu ......"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor was so annoyed that he finally reprimanded him, "How can I regret my golden words?" ”

"But the emperor, the ministers have arranged it for so long, all for the emperor, the king of Chu is so meritorious that he doesn't take the emperor in his eyes at all, and the people say that they only know the king of Chu and don't know the king......"

"I know what you said," the emperor sighed, feeling that his head hurt again, and he pressed it for a long time as if he didn't care about anything, and called the little eunuch to invite Bai Guifei, "It's still the concubine's fingering is good, let her press it, and my head won't hurt." ”

If it was usual, Prime Minister Bai would naturally praise his daughter one after another, but now, his mind is all about the king of Chu going out of the palace, and he still pulls the topic back, "Your Majesty, what is the king of Chu going back to the palace to do, why did you agree?" ”

The emperor's face changed slightly, rubbed his forehead and was silent, and only after a long time did he say, "Prime Minister, at this time, I can't kill the King of Chu." ”

"Why?" Prime Minister Bai was puzzled, "Isn't the emperor bearable?" Although it is a sibling, but you look at the past dynasties, for the sake of imperial power, in order to consolidate the country, this is nothing, the emperor, you are a person who does great things, but you can't let your house heart be benevolent to bind your hands and feet. ”

The emperor didn't seem to hear his words, stared at the door blankly, and suddenly said, "Prime Minister, you say, will this day change?" ”

Prime Minister Bai was a little inexplicable, looking up, it was sunny outside, and he said, "The minister will not change when he looks at it." ”

The Emperor smiled bitterly, "I hope it won't change. ”
