The emperor held Chu Yaocen's hand tightly, and said, "Yaocen, I don't care what you want to do in the Wu Kingdom in the future, can you promise me one thing?" ”

Chu Yaocen didn't agree directly, and asked: "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't hurt my child. Although the relationship between you and us is not very deep, they are still your relatives, and please be merciful. ”

Chu Yaocen lowered his eyes, and his slightly heterochromatic eyes were dyed with a luster of unknown meaning. The emperor may have really returned to the light at this time, I don't know if he came up with it himself, or if he really had a premonition, his words were obviously confessing his last words.

However, Chu Yaocen did not intend to hurt his princes and princesses, no matter how he said that they were his relatives, even if he approached him with the intention of taking advantage of him, he was not so vicious as to hurt them. He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of doing anything to them, and I will not do anything." ”

The emperor's cloudy eyes stared at him for a long time, and finally laughed, "With your words, I am relieved." ”

Chu Yaocen didn't say anything more, put the emperor's hand into the quilt, and muttered: "The disease of rocks is also the most helpless disease for me. Your Majesty, you have a good rest, at least don't die immediately now, the crown prince is gone, and you have to set up a new prince. ”

When the emperor heard the news of the prince's death again, he was not as devastated as before, but the sadness was still inevitable, and two lines of tears were left along his cheeks and fell on the pillow, and his eyes, which had lost tears, seemed clearer.

"You're right, if this matter is not resolved, I will not be able to turn a blind eye." The emperor sighed, thought for a long time, and said: "The second child is impulsive and reckless, belligerent and aggressive, he is not suitable, although the third child also has some shortcomings, but in comparison, he is more stable than the second child, and he is more thoughtful about things, what do you think?" ”

Chu Yaocen smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I can't interfere with the important matter of Lichu, and you still need to make your own decision." ”

The emperor sighed, and what Chu Yaocen said was also right. He waved his hand and let Chu Yaocen go down.

When Chu Yaocen went out, the cause of the prince's death had already been found out, and the minister who gave the prince an autopsy was reporting to Qingdi and them, saying that although he had received a lot of injuries before, most of them were skin injuries, and the real cause of death was suffocated alive.

At first, Totok also defended, saying that it was because Qingdi and they suddenly rebelled against him and did not cooperate with him, so he killed the prince in anger, and he was determined to pull Qingdi and Chu Yaocen into the water and die with him. Now that the cause of death has come out, the prince has been suffocated to death long before Qingdi went to negotiate with him, and this is none of their business.

Hearing the true cause of the prince's death, the royal family of Wu couldn't calm down anymore, and even the third prince, who had never advocated killing Totok, was now a little excited, and everyone went together to ask what the queen who had just woken up should do.

The empress didn't need to think about diplomacy all day long like the emperor, but now it was his son who died, and she couldn't watch her child die in vain. Her Qianqianyu hand seemed to contain a thousand powers, slapped the table, and said, "Kill Totok!" Cut him with a thousand cuts! ”

The second prince was the first to stand up and said that he would personally carry it out, and the third prince also said that he would go with him. But Zhang Xiuhe showed a different look in the back, he gently pulled Chu Yaocen's sleeve and asked, "Is it really appropriate to kill Totoku now?" ”

"Tokhtar killed the prince, if Wu Guo endures it all the time, it will be unreasonable. There's nothing wrong with killing him. Chu Yaocen said.

"It's just ......" Zhang Xiuhe was a little entangled. In fact, his relationship with Tokhtar is quite good, and if he is in power, he must unite with Tokhtar and jointly attack the state of Li...... By the way, you can also help Chu Yaocen by the way. He didn't have any helpers in Wu Country in the first place, if he could unite to get rid of it, wouldn't it be one more foreign aid.

Chu Yaocen looked at his expression, not that he didn't know what he was thinking. He patted Zhang Xiuhe's shoulder lightly and said: "Totoku is not a person worthy of cooperation, as the saying goes, Bo hatred is unkind, Totoku can make friends with you regardless of previous suspicions, and he may betray you to cross the river and tear down the bridge in the future." And you are already unpopular in Wu Country, if you forcibly try to get rid of you, others will hate you even more. ”

Zhang Xiuhe nodded, this is the truth.

"What's more, the people of Tokhtar will not let Tokhtar die so easily, his subordinates are all crazy like him, and Tokhtar threatened us before Tokhtar, saying that if we dare to mess around, his subordinates will attack the innocent people of Wu State, I don't think he can't do this kind of thing." Chu Yaocen added.

Facts have proved that Chu Yaocen was indeed right, and soon someone entered the palace to inform the queen that the people who took off really prepared a lot of gunpowder, wrote to them, and if they didn't let go of the takeoff, they would ignite the gunpowder and blow up Jianye.

When the queen heard the news, she hurriedly sent someone to call back the second prince and the third prince who were rushing to kill Totokh to discuss countermeasures together.

For Bei Di's shamelessness, they really don't know how to describe it. What they have done has also made them realize that even if they can really cooperate with such a country, nothing will end well.

Thinking of this, Qingdi's eyes lit up, and he said to the queen: "Niangniang, the people of Bei Zhai dare to behave so recklessly in Wu State, we know best about their inferiority in personality, but other countries that cooperate with Bei Zhai may not know it." However, as long as they knew, Bei Di would not want to cooperate with any country again. ”

"I have also discovered now that when talking about things with such a shameless person, if you take one step back, he will take two steps forward, we can't be at a disadvantage at any time, all the requirements they make, we have to prepare countermeasures for him, and the anti-guest is the main thing." Qingdi glanced at the people present, and then said: "Niangniang, you can also order someone to reply, if they do this, they will inform several other countries of what they Bei Zhai has done in Wu Kingdom, especially what they plan to harm innocent people." In the whole world, even if it is a war between countries, no one wants to see innocent people hurt, and cooperating with such a country will surely lose the hearts and minds of the people in their own country. ”

After listening to Qingdi's words, the queen nodded and said: "You are right, and Nanban, Xishu, Guyu, Neon and other countries have envoys here in us, if they really want to hurt the innocent people of Wu Kingdom, they don't need me to say more, they will go back and say it themselves." ”

Qingdi chuckled and said, "Moreover, when it comes to other countries' opinions, I think we can do it more seamlessly." If we kill Tokhtar now, what others say in the future will probably be out of our control. But if we spread the news that Tokhtar had killed the prince first, we would be able to do anything about Tokhtar as a matter of course. And we can also make some high-sounding excuses, such as that Tokhtar was not killed by us, but that he himself couldn't stand the climate or food of Wu and died. ”

Several princes silently listened to Qingdi say these words, and then realized that Qingdi seemed to be really not simple. She always thinks more than others, not only more, but also almost without flaws.

The queen also realized that Qingdi was not a simple character, and she began to have some thoughts in her heart, and she began to feel scared...... But fortunately, Qingdi still helped them at this time.

The queen didn't say anything, and immediately asked people to reply to Toto's subordinates, if they insisted on endangering the people of Wu State, what would happen in the future, and what impact it would bring to Bei Zhai, they would be responsible for themselves. Tokhtar's subordinates didn't immediately reply whether they wanted to hurt the people, but they must still understand these truths, and they also thought that once the problem was elevated to a national matter, they would not dare to do anything wrong, and they might not even be able to do it.

The queen will not give them any chance to save Totok, and immediately let the second prince and the third prince kill Totok.

Xiaohu also took Qingdi with her, Qingdi didn't want to see this excitement, but Xiaohu asked her to accompany her, so she had to follow.

When he arrived at the prison where Tokhtar was being held, he saw that Tokhtar was tied up by five flowers, but he didn't have any scared expression on his face, glanced at a few people who came, and chuckled: "What, are you guys coming together to avenge the prince?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Xiaohu rushed up and kicked him first, and said, "Ten of you are not worth the life of your eldest brother, I will avenge my eldest brother and kill you now!" ”

Totoku still had an expression of disdain, he glanced at Qingdi, and said, "Princess Xiaohu, you shouldn't kill me, you should have killed your cousin, if she hadn't provoked me, how could I have killed the prince by mistake?" It's all her to blame for lying to me. ”

Qingdi smiled coldly and said, "It's been so long since we found the prince's body, do you think we still can't find out the true cause and time of the prince's death during this time?" The prince was obviously brutally killed by you before I negotiated with you, and you still played tricks on me with the prince's life for a long time. Do you still want to stir up trouble between me and the Wu royal family? ”

When Totoh heard Qingdi say this, he didn't continue to pretend, chuckled, and said, "Then you will kill me, as long as you dare to touch me, I can't control what my subordinates will do." ”

Qingdi smiled faintly, pitiful detachment, and really felt that they had no way to do it.

The second prince obviously didn't want to continue to talk nonsense with him, so he took out the red-hot iron that he was lying in front of Toto, and pasted it against Toto's chest, there was no sign at all before Toto, and he was still thinking that Wu Guo, who was always concerned about the overall situation, would never do anything to him, but now he was tortured.

Qingdi felt that this scene was really not good to look at again, so he closed his eyes and covered Xiaohu's eyes, and heard a miserable scream from Toto, and then he couldn't stop scolding.

Xiaohu took Qingdi's hand, there was no fear in her eyes, she picked up the red-hot knife, held it with both hands, and stepped forward to cut off the detached arm.
