Chapter 541: Sacrifice
As soon as Lu Qingyi's words came out, Shen Xi knew that Fu Chuan had betrayed himself for those chicken legs, she glanced coldly at Fu Chuan, who was eating chicken legs not far away, and really wanted to snatch the chicken legs in his hand and throw them away, he was also a handsome person, how could he become a wall grass for a few chicken legs?
"I have no choice but to go to her today, otherwise my bookstore will always be so noisy, and I won't be able to make money." In the end, Shen Xi had to actively admit his mistake to Lu Qingyi.
"The first thing you do when you get into trouble is to find me, not to solve it yourself." Lu Qingyi's face was gloomy, which made Shen Xi feel scared for a while, and she could feel the cold air coming out of Lu Qingyi's body.
"You've been very busy these days, and I don't want to bother you, besides, it's not like I can't solve it myself." Shen Xi still risked being scolded by Lu Qingyi and told the truth.
"I feel sorry for you too." Shen Xi hurriedly said such a sentence before Lu Qingyi got angry.
As soon as Shen Xi's words came out, Lu Qingyi was speechless in an instant, after all, it was difficult for him to hear this kind of words, and he even looked at Shen Xi's eyes became much gentler.
After eating, Lu Qingyi rarely came back early today, so he rested very early, and early the next morning, Liu Congwen went to the temple to pick up the emperor, and Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi both entered the palace to help Chang Yi dispose of the corpses of the five princes.
Even though the fifth prince died at his own hands and committed a big crime, Chang Yi can be regarded as making him decent and getting him a good coffin.
Because the fifth prince died by suicide, he was not allowed to hold a funeral, let alone enter the imperial mausoleum, and his body now looked much more comfortable than yesterday on death row.
The coffin of the five princes was parked in the previous concubine Yun's bedroom, waiting for the emperor to come back from the temple, and after the queen heard that the five princes were going to pull out of the palace and bury them today, she directly led a group of people to whip the corpses of the five princes.
Chang Qian was stabbed by the five princes, so the queen naturally hated him very much.
"Queen Mother, the fifth prince is dead now, won't you even let go of a dead person?" Lu Qingyi stepped forward to the coffin of the fifth prince and wanted to stop the queen's behavior.
The queen stared at Lu Qingyi, with a cold look, and she said gloomily: "Lu Qingyi, don't think that you can stop the palace if you saved Gan'er that day."
"I don't want to stop you, I just have to be forgiving and forgiving, the queen mother, you do this, so that when the emperor comes back, he sees that the corpses of the five princes are full of whip marks, what do you make the emperor think?" Lu Qingyi's face was still cold, and he was not moved in the slightest.
The fifth prince did stab Chang Shu with a sword, and he really did something that couldn't be rebellious, but after all, he was also used.
"Queen Mother, do you also think that it was his intention for the fifth prince to kill the eldest prince? Or do you think the Five Princes will really have such strength? You have the heart to whip the corpse now, but you're afraid that someone will laugh behind your back. Lu Qingyi's words were to remind the queen that Chang Gan's injury had something to do with Chang Wen.
Although the fifth prince is not innocent, in this matter, he is indeed being manipulated, and he is a poor person in the end.
He also killed his mother who loved him with his own hands, which was already retribution for him.
The queen listened to Lu Qingyi's words, and frowned slightly, she glanced at Lu Qingyi, then looked at the coffin of the five princes, and left resentfully for a long time.
Chang Wen used the five princes to kill the queen and Chang Yi and others, but he himself did not expect that this incident would intensify the conflict between him and the queen.
Originally, the queen has been very low-key during this time, Chang Wen wants to kill herself, no matter how low-key the queen wants to be low-key, she will not let herself be bullied by others, and she will be led by the nose. 000 Literature
When the emperor returned to the palace, it was already noon, although there was occasionally a cool breeze blowing, but today's sun was very good, and the sun was so bright that it looked like winter in the capital.
As soon as the emperor came back, he came to see the corpses of the five princes directly, and the moment Chang Yi lifted the white cloth covering the corpses of the five princes, Shen Xi clearly saw that the emperor who had never cried had red eyes.
In just one year, he had lost two sons, and he knew in his heart that they were just victims.
But he can't stop this battle for succession, this royal battle can't be stopped if he says it, not to mention the four princes and five princes, his own life is very likely to be in danger, and as an emperor, he can't protect his son.
"You guys get out and find a good place to bury him!" The emperor's voice was a little hoarse and trembling, he stood in the sun, and no one knew whether he was sad or not, after all, the fifth prince made a big mistake.
"Father, you can rest well." Chang Yi covered the bodies of the five princes as he spoke, and then asked someone to close the pavilion and transport the five princes out of the palace through the back door of the palace.
The five princes could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum, but only in these wilderness.
After burying the five princes, Chang Yi and Lu Qingyi returned to Shen Xi Bookstore, and now that the emperor has returned to the palace, Chang Yi is naturally much more relaxed, after Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi's marriage was made public, he didn't have time to congratulate him.
And the emperor waited for Lu Qingyi and them to leave the palace before summoning Chang Wen.
"Father, I don't know if your name is Erchen, but what's the matter?" After all, Chang Wen is a person who has seen a lot of the world, so she did not make any big mess about the sudden summons of the emperor.
The emperor looked at the white Chang Wen in front of him, and finally snorted coldly, "Aren't you very smart?" Don't you know what I'm calling you? ”
Chang Wen bent down slightly, "Please also ask my father to make it clear." ”
"How did the fifth die? Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you? The emperor was still calm, he stared at Chang Wen coldly, and no one knew what he, the emperor, was thinking.
"Father, why did you suddenly talk about this? The fifth brother killed Concubine Yun with his own hands, and then tortured himself to commit suicide, how could this have anything to do with Erchen! Chang Wen whispered unhurriedly, and he replied easily.
The emperor looked at Chang Wen, who was stable in Mount Tai, and his thoughts were deep, and finally he only heard him sigh and his voice was low.
"You were originally the most courageous and most suitable person to sit on the throne among all the princes, but your heart is too ruthless, and it is right to be ruthless as an emperor, but if you are too violent, you are not suitable to be an emperor."
As soon as the emperor said this, Chang Wen's face changed after all, he could more or less feel the emperor's thoughts, but the more critical it was, the more he didn't understand what the emperor had in terms of inheritance.
At the beginning, although Chang Dry was the crown prince, he was a straw bag, and Chang Yi was a prince who did not fall in love with the court, so the emperor should love him the most, but he didn't feel the emperor's love at all.
Even now, the fifth prince forced the palace to die, and he questioned him for a prince who had never been favored, which was really unreasonable.
"Father, who have you trusted in this court?"
