Late at night.

Capital.

Emperor Chu Haotian was reviewing and reciting in the imperial study, this whole year has been a continuous war, coupled with the fact that he was killed and sick on the couch before, Chu Meiluo left a lot of messes to clean up during his forcible imprisonment, and one family and one state affairs were heavily pressed on his shoulders, so that he had almost no respite.

Sighed, it was a real headache.

Outside the study, the palace maid was coming back with the night, and when she saw the people waiting outside the courtyard, she immediately saluted. "The slave and maid see the prince."

Under the palace wall, the straight figure is none other than Chu Yunyi. "These are the nights for my father?"

"Back to the prince's words, yes, the emperor has recently made a batch of folds overnight, getting up early and greedy for darkness, it is inevitable that there will be some fire, so the imperial dining room has made a mung bean lotus seed soup for the emperor to clear the fire, and it is easy to sleep well with this urn of hot milk."

"Very good, the cook in the imperial dining room has a heart." Chu Yunyi stretched out his hand. "Bring it to this king, and this king will bring it in for you and give it to your father."

The palace maid lowered her head and exchanged glances, very embarrassed. "Lord, the emperor has ordered, but I don't see anyone."

Chu Yunyi frowned, of course he knew the emperor's orders, otherwise he would still be stopped outside the courtyard and could only glance at the roof of the imperial study?

"Bring it." Taking a step forward, Chu Yunyi's eyes burst with anger, and the breath that was as warm as jade in the past was long gone.

The days when he was hunted down by his own brother and hid in Sanqing Temple after nine deaths made him see through a lot, think a lot, and change his state of mind a lot.

He is no longer the fifth prince who believes in brotherhood and smiles gently, at this moment, in his eyes, there is only imperial power and dignity.

He must get that supreme position, and whoever dares to stop him will die!

"Lord Wang, don't embarrass us slaves." The palace maids retreated again and again, for fear that Chu Yunyi would come up directly to grab it.

"You minions, don't you even take this king seriously!"

"Yunyi!"

Suddenly, a cold drink restrained Chu Yunyi, who was becoming more and more demonic, and the palace people lowered their heads and their backs were full of cold sweat.

Since the fifth prince came back to life and returned to the palace, he seems to have changed as if he was a different person, he is not elegant and elegant, and he treats his subordinates a lot harshly, and even uses lynching, and the only one who can cure this lord at the moment is except for the emperor and the eldest princess, only the one in the harem.

"Mother." When Chu Yunyi saw Concubine Roujia, her red eyes eased slightly.

"Mother, why are you here this night with heavy frost and dew?" Chu Yunyi hurriedly caught up and held Roujia Guifei's arm.

At this time last year, he was being chased and killed by Chu Mello everywhere, and his mother was tortured in the palace, and when she was rescued from the water prison, she had several fractures on her body, and she also suffered from cold disease, and she was not as high-spirited as before.

Chu Yunyi felt all kinds of regrets in his heart every time he faced such a Roujia concubine.

If he hadn't been so naïve and didn't believe in brotherhood so easily, he wouldn't have ended up like this, and his mother wouldn't have endured that nightmarish humiliation!

"If I don't come, do I want to watch you make trouble in the imperial study and make the emperor angry?" Concubine Roujia looked at her son in front of her, frowned, and sighed. "Come back with me."

"You guys, you shouldn't have seen the prince tonight." The grandmother who was following the concubine stepped forward and commanded sharply. "If anyone dares to chew the root of their tongue, watch your heads, do you understand!"

"The slave knows, the slave hasn't seen anyone tonight!"

Where did they dare to disobey the meaning of Concubine Roujia?

Now that the queen and the three kings have fallen, the position of the middle palace is vacant, although the emperor has not yet raised the concubine Roujia to the back seat, but this is a matter of time, after all, even if the former queen is still there, the limelight will not be able to steal the concubine.

"Mother, I ......"

"Follow me back to the palace!" Concubine Roujia glared at Chu Yunyi with hatred, and turned around and left first.

Chu Yunyi unwillingly glanced at the light of the imperial study in the distance, it was like the only light in the darkness, shining on him, but he couldn't touch it.

He looked at the unreachable but tugging at the heartstrings, stretched out his hand, trying to get a trace of warmth, but what he got was as cold as ever.

Hanging his head, he followed the sedan chair of Roujia Guifei all the way back to Yichun Palace.

This is the palace newly rewarded by the emperor after Concubine Roujia was rescued from the water prison, which means that the past is forgotten, and the road to the future is as hopeful as spring.

Everyone inside and outside the palace treated the concubine Roujia more favorably, and they all felt that after this catastrophe, the emperor and the concubine could be regarded as sharing weal and hardship.

Ke Roujia herself knows that behind the emperor's heavy reward, there is invisible pressure and warning, warning her not to get carried away, asking her to remember her identity, and at the same time putting her in this high position to become the target of public criticism, blocking the eyes of those who have glimpsed the back position.

These days, she has been provoked and framed by big and small is the best example, everyone thinks that they are the biggest obstacle to their seizure of the throne, but everyone does not know, the emperor is the real mastermind behind the scenes, she is just a poor shield.

With a cold smile, Roujia took the hot tea offered by the palace maid, blew the hot air, and squinted at her son who was sitting in the deputy. "Although you are in a high position now, but the mother concubine does not have a reliable mother's family, the more grace she receives, the more she walks on thin ice in the harem, and you must know the powerful relationship in your heart."

"If you really forcibly break into the imperial study today, it will make the concubine's patience these days in vain!" Roujia's eyes flashed fiercely.

"But mother, since the seventh brother set out on the expedition, my father has hardly summoned me again, and I am worried that he has favored the seventh brother!"

"What about bias? You don't know what kind of character your father is? Roujia put the teacup on the table. What can you do when you see your father and queen, do you say that you can force him to ask him or can you make out his words? ”

"I-"

"Do you think your father's temperament will tolerate you being so presumptuous?" Rou Jia's words are sharp, like a sharp knife piercing Chu Yunyi's heart. "Don't forget, it was because of his arrogance that Chu Melo ended up where he is now!"

Chu Yunyi choked, his brows were a thick fog that could not be dissolved.

His whole being is confused now.

Rou Jia saw that her son was now in a maze and didn't know anything, so he could only slowly enlighten and at the same time, in the imperial study.

"The fifth is gone?" Chu Haotian lifted the pen, lifted his eyelids and looked at the old man in front of him.

"If you go back to the emperor, the fifth prince will wander outside for a while, and then he will be taken away by the concubine." The old man said slowly.

"Roujia?" Chu Haotian paused. "She didn't want to come in?"

"Yes, the noble concubine Niangniang knows your temperament very well, and she has no intention of coming in to disturb, and she also trained the fifth prince sharply before taking it away."

Chu Haotian's eyes flashed with a dark light and smiled. "This Roujia will make a show."

The old man smiled in agreement and did not speak.

The emperor is like a mirror in his heart, who is acting clearly!

"This old fifth is also used to being comfortable in the past, and he can't hold his breath when he sees a little wind and waves, so he should hone and hone his temper." Chu Haotian waved his hand, and his husband immediately stepped forward to study the ink.

"Your Majesty, the fifth prince is also a father and son, you haven't summoned him for the past two months, the prince is worried about you, so naturally he misses him tightly."

"Heh, missing? I'm afraid that what he thinks about day and night is just the dragon chair I sit on! Chu Haotian opened the next book, which was good news from the border.

After looking at it carefully, he squinted his eyes, "Dusk Yu, this kid is good, 20,000 soldiers and horses repelled 35,000 people from Lingyun Country, and killed 10,000 elites of Lingyun Country, it seems that the past two years in the north have not suffered in vain!" ”

The old man bowed his head and studied the ink, knowing in his heart that the emperor's education method for children has always been to suppress first and then promote, if he survives, it will be bitter first and then sweet, if he does not survive, then he can only settle down to be an obedient prince and be subservient.

At the moment, the Seventh Prince can be regarded as surviving.

"Hmph, this old seven, with superb martial arts, has fallen behind all the books he used to read! You see, there are still typos, did this kid write good news to me with his toes? Chu Haotian said this, but there was a smile on his face.

The old man nodded in agreement. "The old slave looked at the handwriting of the Seventh Prince, which became more and more graceful, quite the style of the emperor, presumably he was too happy after breaking the enemy army, and he wrote the wrong word in a hurry."

"Hmph, old thing, you're going to talk to this bastard!" Chu Haotian pointed to his husband, and read the good news twice before going to Zhu for approval.

"Twilight Yu, this kid used to be naughty, I often punished him, I never gave him a good face, and I was a little guilty, now that he is fighting on the front line to kill the enemy for the country, I have to reward him something, so as not to make people think that I am too strict with my son, and say that I don't understand the hardships of the frontier soldiers." Chu Haotian thought about it, reported a string of gift lists, and the old husband responded one by one, and was stunned when he heard one of them, but he quickly reacted, and only left the imperial study to prepare after the emperor's instructions.

The next day, the news that the emperor rewarded the Seventh Prince quickly spread.

Chu Yunyi immediately set off to enter the palace, originally asking to see the emperor, but when he thought of Roujia's advice last night, he still endured the grievances in his heart and turned to Yichun Palace.

"Mother! Have you heard? The father rewarded the seventh brother! Chu Yunyi entered the palace gate all the way, and regardless of the obstruction of the grandmother and the palace maid, he went straight to the main hall.

As a result, when I looked up, I was stunned.

"Father!"

Chu Haotian was having lunch with Rou Jia and smiled, "What, don't you seem to be happy that I am here?" ”

Rou Jia has one head and two big, and constantly gives Chu Yunyi a look.

I just persuaded this kid last night, how can he still be so frivolous today! This is good, and it is good to have a bad impression directly in front of the emperor!

"Son, son, don't dare!" Chu Yunyi immediately saluted.

Chu Haotian put down his chopsticks, but his gentle movements pulled every nerve of Concubine Roujia.

Your Majesty is not happy!
