Chapter 141: The Sword Goes Sideways
When Xiao Changge fainted, there was also a wave of unrest in the court.
At present, the most concerning thing is naturally the assassination of Emperor Chu by the five princes, who had already been put in prison to wait for the fate, but just yesterday the five princes in the prison were mysteriously poisoned!
This matter was the first to reach Xiao Yongde's ears, even though Chu Yong had become a prisoner, he was the prince after all.
No one can guess the emperor's heart, one second Emperor Chu wanted Chu Yong's life, but the next second it may not be, so when Xiao Yongde heard his subordinates tell him about this, he immediately found the imperial doctor to go to the prison to see the five princes.
Chu Yong's face was pale, his lips were purple, and he was foaming at the mouth, and he didn't look like he was pretending to be distressed, and after the imperial doctor determined that he was poisoned, he asked someone to tell Emperor Chu, and by the way, Chu Yong was transferred to the outside of the prison, and now he is guarded by the palace guards.
When Xiao Yongde went, the left prime minister Chen Ye, and the Emperor of Chu sat on the chaise longue, holding a delicate and charming woman in his left hand.
The last time I saw An Wu, she wore light makeup but did not lose her brilliance, but this time when she saw it, her ink hair was scattered, her tassels were swaying, her eyes were bright, her eyes seemed to hide the stars in the night sky, her bright red thin clothes were on her body, and her water snake-like waist was firmly imprisoned by a thick hand.
Her body is delicate but reveals a stubborn energy, and her appearance can also be suppressed in the harem, and the women in the harem seem to be supporting her.
Xiao Yongde couldn't help but be shocked when he saw An Wu in the imperial study, he heard that the most favored person by Emperor Chu in the harem was Princess An Wu, and now he really believed it when he saw it.
There has never been a precedent for a concubine to be present in this imperial study, and now An Wu is the first.
"Your Majesty has important matters to discuss with the two ministers, and the concubines will retire first."
Those starry eyes glanced at Xiao Yongde and Chen Ye, and then said to Emperor Chu quietly, she saw that the eyes of both of them fell on her and knew that the two of them had some affection for her here.
An Wuben wanted to get up but didn't move a step, the hand that imprisoned her waist tightened a little more, so that she couldn't escape, Emperor Chu held An Wu in his arms, pinched her chin with the other hand, and was gently reluctant to use a little force, for fear of hurting the person in front of him.
"Your Majesty."
A touch of red appeared on that tender white face, and she wanted to bow her head, but she was held by Emperor Chu with his hand and couldn't move, her eyes were facing each other.
Emperor Chu is only in his forties now, heroic, has the style of an emperor, capable, such a man has been with him for a long time, if he doesn't like it at all, then it's fake.
The most important thing is that the man in front of her seems to be able to see through others, knows what she wants, and handles every action and every sentence well.
Calling out delicately, An Wu stretched out his hand and grabbed Emperor Chu's hand.
"Concubine Hui is not an outsider, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Emperor Chu smiled, and then remembered that there was someone else standing in front of him, and he raised his head leisurely to look at Xiao Yongde and Chen Ye.
But the two of them were already shocked that Emperor Chu actually said such things to a woman who had just been accepted as a concubine, you must know that it is unprecedented for a harem woman to listen to politics!
"This ......"
Chen Ye was shocked, as if something was stuck in his throat, how could there be such a precedent since ancient times? From this incident, it can be seen that An Wu's position in the heart of Emperor Chu, even the concubine who was favored for a while at that time did not have this kind of treatment.
Speaking of the name of the concubine-in-law, what those people think of is a dance that moves in all directions, and the meaning is still unfinished, even the posture is above that group of women, the word "alluring the country and the city" is afraid that only the concubine is the most suitable, and those who don't know the concubine can imagine the appearance of the favored person at that time if they see Chu Yu.
"Does Prime Minister Zuo have any objections?"
Seeing Chen Ye's spitting appearance, Emperor Chu's sword eyebrows raised lightly, and even his tone changed.
"I have no objections."
Chen Ye bowed his head and bent over, and his head also reacted quickly.
There are some things that you just need to know in your heart, and it will not do him any good to say them.
When An Wuyi heard Emperor Chu's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, snuggled into Emperor Chu's arms, shyly beat Emperor Chu's chest, and shouted softly: "Your Majesty." ”
Crisp into the bone marrow, hearing this voice, Emperor Chu's hand wandered restlessly around An Wu's waist, only to see An Wu's face a little redder than Fang Cai, flushed like fire, scorching like the sun.
"Concubine, bear with me, I'll play with you when I'm done with this matter."
Emperor Chu lowered his head and deliberately approached An Wu's ear and whispered, only to hear An Wu laughing softly.
Chen Ye and Xiao Yongde glanced at each other, and Chen Ye said slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister received the news that Lord Wen hurriedly went out of the mansion, and according to the minister's subordinates, he went to the prince's mansion......"
When he said the last sentence, Chen Ye's voice was a little quieter, the matter was not to be joked, he was also stunned when he heard the advice of his spies, and he was thinking about whether he should tell Emperor Chu about it, and after thinking about it, he still decided to face Emperor Chu and let him decide the matter personally.
Wen Yi automatically pleaded guilty, and Emperor Chu spared his life, but before the matter was over, he hurriedly went to the prince's mansion in the middle of the night, which was inevitably suspicious.
Emperor Chu was originally with An Wuqing, but when he heard Chen Ye's advice, he raised his sword eyebrows, looked at Chen Ye sharply, and couldn't smile anymore on his face.
"Really?"
Even if you say a word, you can feel the majesty coming from him, which makes people dare not resist.
"Yes, the spy said that Lord Wen went to the prince's mansion for a while and left, and the minister felt that there was something strange about it, so he rushed to tell His Majesty overnight."
"Wen Yi went to find the prince? How long Wen Yi stayed in the Prince's Mansion. ”
Emperor Chu frowned and repeated, and finally looked at Chen Yedao.
"According to the spies, half an hour."
Chen Ye replied honestly, there was a touch of essence and solemnity in those sharp eyes, and the air seemed to be frozen, and the people sitting on the mink chair did not speak, and the people below did not dare to say a word first.
The more silent it is, the more frightening it becomes.
"Your Majesty, the minister also has something to tell you."
Xiao Yongde glanced at Chen Ye, and knew that he was nervous when he saw the cold sweat sliding down his forehead, Xiao Yongde's announcement at this time undoubtedly eased the tension in Chen Ye's heart, and Chen Ye cast a grateful look at Xiao Yongde.
When the oblique moon is in the sky, the water in the distance is vast, the branches are swaying, and the cicadas are chirping.
If it weren't for something important, Xiao Yongde wouldn't be here.
Only then did Emperor Chu realize that something might be wrong, and even Xiao Yongde came to meet the saint in the middle of the night.
"The five princes were poisoned in prison, and the ministers have transferred the five princes to other places, and then guarded by the imperial doctor, and they have also arrested the jailers on duty today and interrogated them strictly, and two jailers bit their tongues and committed suicide......"
Xiao Yongde didn't have the confidence he had before, and someone dared to do such a thing under his nose, and he was also responsible.
"If the minister is not careful, I hope Your Majesty will punish you!"
After Xiao Yongde finished speaking, he knelt on the ground with a bang and kowtowed.
He bowed, his face facing the ground and did not dare to get up.
"Is there a big problem with Chu Yong's stinky boy?"
Emperor Chu asked anxiously, not first about the assassins, but first about the safety of the five princes.
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor has relieved the poison on the five princes in time, and the five princes are fine, but someone secretly poisoned the matter, I'm afraid that someone wants to harm the five princes."
Xiao Yongde reminded that An Wu squinted and looked up at Emperor Chu's face, and secretly remembered Chu Yong in his heart.
When she came to Chu State, she had heard about several princes, these five princes Chu Yong was a gambler, and he had Concubine Li's support behind him, but Emperor Chu didn't value him, I thought that this time Emperor Chu ordered the five princes to be taken into prison must be because he had no feelings for Chu Yong, but from the situation of Fang Cai, these five princes were not as unloved by Emperor Chu as said outside.
"There is such a thing!"
Emperor Chu said in a deep voice, slapped the table with his hand, and with a bang, even the teacup was shaken, and there were ripples in the cup.
"Prince, this courage is really not small!"
Inside the palace of the Four Princes
It's been a long time since the house was full of vigor in this quiet and deserted house, but today you can hear the laughter coming from afar.
"Can the fourth brother be convinced?"
"The third brother has superb chess skills, how can the fourth brother be unconvinced?"
Chu Yu sighed and picked up the sunspots back into the bowl one by one.
"Haha, fourth brother, you still need to hone more, this chessboard is like a battlefield, if this is not properly commanded, the whole army will be wiped out."
Chu Mo laughed heartily, he had been worried about Chu Yu's situation, and it was rare for him to have time to take a look today, and when he saw her refreshed appearance, he knew that his injuries were so good.
No, you can still dance and drink at this time! It's much better than the pale look at the time.
"Third brother, you're here to abuse me today, right? Hey, I had some confidence in playing chess, but today I was disturbed by you, third brother, how can I dare to say that I can play chess? ”
Chu Yu said, mentioning the bamboo leaf green that Chu Mo called easily, he was already drunk just by smelling this smell.
"Good wine, good wine, this wine is the best in Chu China."
Chu Yu reluctantly hugged the wine jar, for fear of being taken away.
"The third brother came today to see how your injury is, and today I see that it is almost good, and the third brother will be relieved, I should leave before it gets early, so as not to disturb your rest."
Chu Mo laughed, he got up and patted his clothes.
"If the third brother doesn't dislike it, why don't you stay in my four princes' mansion for one night? Our brothers haven't talked about things for a long time, and you have been in the Northern Desert for several years! ”
Chu Yu said coquettishly like a child, and in Chu Mo's impression, this was the Chu Yu he knew.
"Haha, it's too late for the third brother to be happy, how can you dislike it, but I'm afraid that you have a beautiful girl hidden in this house, and it won't be good if you disturb you."
A trace of vigilance flashed in the phoenix's eyes and then disappeared, and he also laughed when he saw Chu Mo laughing.
"It's not too early, the third brother will leave first, you should drink less delicate if you drink too much wine and hurt your body."
After Chu Mo finished speaking, his back disappeared into the house.
Chu Yu held the sunspot with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
Gently landed the sunspot in his hand in the corner of the chessboard, if Chu Mo took a step later, if he could see this move, he would not say those words.
If the command is not right, the whole army will be annihilated, but the place where his black son fell is the most critical step for the sword to go sideways and turn defeat into victory! The slightest mistake will follow the trap he has set.
Now, that's it, everything is under his control, the only thing he doesn't have is ......
"Four Highnesses......
