Chu Xuan misunderstood what his brother meant, nodded in agreement, and sighed: "If my mother also has the strength of a princess, she won't-"

will not be married off by King Xiang, and finally end up in such a fate.

But this sentence, Chu slowly hesitated for a moment, and still didn't say it in the end.

Chu Qi understood, but he didn't say anything, just silently lifted the wine jug on the table, poured a glass of wine for Chu Xuan, filled it for himself, and drank it all in one go.

The brothers were speechless and sat down to drink alcohol.

Before I knew it, I was drunk.

Chu Qizhi's house was strict, and the attendants did not dare to move the master without authorization, so they could only put on thick robes, raise the brazier, and keep guarding the side, not daring to let the charcoal fire go out.

By the time Chu Qi woke up groggy, it was already dark outside.

Seeing this, the attendant who had been guarding all night hurriedly ordered someone to serve decanting soup and fetch warm water to clean his face.

Chu Qi also woke up his younger brother, and the two were tidying up their appearance, and their henchmen went back and forth: "The eldest son, the second son, an hour ago, the king sent Lord Zheng out of the palace to convey the royal decree, and Yang Yuan was registered as a guest secretary, and he sent an envoy to the six countries with a festival, and gave Yang Yuan 3,000 gold. ”

In view of the fact that this matter was too sensational, the henchmen had already inquired clearly, and there were no details: "After passing the king's order, Lord Zheng stayed with Yang Yuan for a cup of tea in private, and retreated to the courtyard on the left and right, and no one could hear the content clearly. ”

Hearing that Zheng Gao was coming in person, the two brothers exchanged a look, and then listened to their henchman and said: "In addition, early this morning, Changxin Hou first ordered someone to load the heavy treasures into the car, but it didn't take long for these treasures to be unloaded one by one and reloaded back into the warehouse. ”

Chu Qi knew in his heart and waved his hand.

The confidant was interested, and immediately retreated, and by the way, took all the people who were waiting.

When there was no one around, Chu Xuan said with a little worry: "It sounds like the princess is afraid that she won't even be able to confiscate the thank you gift." Hey, why is the princess bent on being a lonely minister! ”

He didn't have any thoughts about Yin Xi, he just felt that Yin Xi's identity and personality were very similar to the gentle and kind mother-in-law in his memory, so he was a little partial to her.

Doesn't the princess know that she is so alone that she is equivalent to cutting herself off from everyone, and if something happens in the future, no one will speak for her?

Chu Qi threw the cloth towel that wiped his face into his younger brother's hand: "Sober up." ”

Chu Chu knew that his brother's voice was "wake up my brain", so he wiped his face a few times with a cloth towel, and after almost rubbing red, his brain, which was originally a little chaotic, finally turned around because of this hot pain.

He shouldn't have said that the princess was a minister.

Just like him and his brother, although the eldest and youngest, the main and the secondary, all have an order, and they are divided into high and low order. He honored his brother everywhere and put his brother's opinion first.

But who would think that he was subordinate to his brother and equal to his guests?

They are brothers who are connected by blood, relatives who depend on each other, and they are the most trusting beings in the world.

If there is only one person left in the world who will not harm him, it must be his own brother.

In the same way, if he can die in place of his brother, he is duty-bound.

The same is true of the relationship between the princess and the king.

Chu Xuan put himself in his shoes and thought about it, if he and his brother had a conflict, and they hadn't said anything, but others wanted to intervene, make reasonable comments, and point fingers, then he would definitely be very unhappy.

This is our own brother's business, what does it have to do with you outsiders?

To put it mildly, if one day, he still needs to bribe outsiders, find a way to pass the message to his brother, or beg the other party to intercede for him.

At that time, their brotherhood will definitely have long been wiped out, and they will no longer be a family.

"Finally understood?"

Why should the courtiers befriend the people around the king as much as possible, and even a single temple person can't be offended?

Quite simply, because they are outsiders.

Outsiders mean that when something happens, the king will often rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one, and they may not even have a chance to tell the difference, and they don't know how they died.

At this time, one more person to help you speak, one more chance to live.

Yin Ji is different, she is the king's "own family".

Chu Qi saw very clearly that in Yin Changying's heart, only the Empress Dowager Song and Yin Cheng were people.

The others, whether it was the harem Zhumei or the two queen mothers, were not taken to heart by him.

If you want to ask Yin Changying in his heart, which one is heavier, his mother or his sister......

Do you still need to think about it?

Ten Empress Dowagers of Song are tied together, and they may not be as good as Yin Ji!

The Empress Dowager Song committed such a big crime, and the king didn't let her "get sick", but she was imprisoned in the palace, and she was not allowed to see anyone, and she should be treated, or should she be supplied according to the specifications of the Empress Dowager, and try to do it as the Empress Dowager Shouyang or the Empress Dowager Xia?

When did Yin Changying become a person who cared about filial piety?

The person he wants to kill, let alone his own mother, even if he is his own father, doesn't he dare to do it?

Since the Empress Dowager Song can be saved from death, Yin Ji doesn't matter.

Many people just don't understand this truth, they always think that the princess will marry in the future, and now they treat her as an outsider, and use the same trick to deal with outsiders to deal with the princess, isn't this a self-defeating way?

If you tell Jiang Zhong that he wants to rebel, the king may be suspicious; Told the princess that she wanted to rebel, but the king didn't want to think about it, so he dragged you, the false accuser, out and cut it down.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the evidence is conclusive, the king may not necessarily take action, just like the Empress Dowager Song, when she really rebelled, the king really dealt with it.

Could it be that before this, didn't the king know that the Empress Dowager Song wanted to kill him?

Definitely not.

But people are like this, for their relatives, if they don't go to the most cruel and ruthless level, at most they will be a little vigilant, and they will not strike first and kill the other party directly.

With the status of the princess in the king's heart, even if she really rebelled, it would not be possible to punish her more severely than the Empress Dowager Song.

Under such circumstances, how virtuous are you courtiers, who dare to kiss each other?

Tired of being alive?

Chu Xuan also figured out this section.

After all, he can understand it by directly applying his relationship with his brother.

He didn't think he would do anything to be sorry for his brother, and likewise, he didn't think that his brother would be suspicious, suspicious, targeted, or even want to kill him.

Since Chu Chu didn't have this concern, why did Yin Ji have it?

Having said that, Chu Xuan couldn't help but say, "Brother is a humble gentleman—"

Your Majesty, it's ......

The two can't be compared in personality at all, but there is still a difference, right?

Chu Qi glanced at his younger brother and ordered: "It seems that you haven't woken up enough from the wine, so you will splash your face with cold water again." ”

He really wanted to knock Chu Xuan's head open and pour into the point.

Yin Changying is a tyrant, yes, but he is not a madman, let alone a murderous maniac.

As long as he doesn't suspect Yin Hui, Yin Xi will always be his "own person", much higher than their status as outsiders, why are you worried?
