Chapter 553: The Abyss (1)

When the queen of the dynasty broke off the connection with the anti-ministers, the old relationship was revived, which made Zhou Youchen, who was the king of Northern Yan, the biggest joke in the world.

Nowadays, people in the capital are talking about the events of that day. Did the emperor break the adultery between the queen and Chu Jingchuan, or did the emperor and the queen practice their hands together with Chu Jingchuan, so that he completely admitted defeat!

These ready-made stories are much more interesting than the legendary classics in the mouth of the storyteller.

If the queen plots, unites with Chu Jingchuan to rebel, and returns to the emperor's arms, then she is a veritable demon queen, a complete femme fatale. If the queen carefully planned, just to cooperate with the emperor inside and outside and defeat Chu Jingchuan, then she is also ruthless and ruthless......

However, it is a well-known fact that the more vicious a woman is, the more terrible she is.

After Chu Jingchuan's death, the Chu family was convicted. Zhou Youchen originally said that as long as Chu Jingchuan was willing to surrender and confess, his family could be spared death. Jun didn't joke, he said that he would do it, so the Chu family, regardless of men, women, young and old, all had to be sent to the frontier to do labor.

The man is a slave, and the woman is a maid, and since then he has become an ant, and there is no chance to turn over.

This is the most cruel punishment, the frontier is bitterly cold, the labor is heavy, ordinary people can't get through, and many people are exhausted to death before they even reach the place.

Meng Xilan had expected that he would do this. He cornered the Chu family, so that he could wipe out the Chu family in the dark without any effort.

Meng Xilan rested for two days, and her spirit was almost recovered, but she still had the scars left by Zhou Youchen's violence on her body, and the bruises reminded her that her relationship with Zhou Youchen was not as good as before.

"Niangniang, the emperor sent someone to ask for Chu Ansheng, and the servants sent them away in the name of Niangniang. Can...... They'll come back. ”

Gao Fuli knew what was going on, he looked up at his master, but when he saw the murderous aura flashing in his master's eyes, he knew that she would not easily hand over Chu Ansheng to the emperor.

Chu Jingchuan only has such a son as him, and he is his only bloodline.

Meng Xilan instructed Gao Fuli: "You bring An Sheng here, the palace has something to say to him." ”

Now that he is immersed in the pain of losing his father, it is easy to make mistakes because of impulse. But he couldn't make any more mistakes.

When Chu Ansheng came to see Meng Xilan, in addition to hatred, there was also resentment in his heart.

He looked at her coldly and asked, "Where is my mother?" ”

Meng Xilan said lightly: "The prison of the Criminal Department." ”

The Chu family are all guilty people, and they are now being detained in the prison of the Criminal Department, waiting to be sent to the frontier for hard labor.

Chu Ansheng was full of anger, and his eyes were red.

Meng Xilan's dark eyes were as deep as a deep pool, hiding a sharp gaze.

"Your father is dead, your family is suffering, but you are still alive."

Chu Ansheng shook his head when he heard this: "The emperor will not let me go." ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows: "Why are you afraid?" ”

Chu Ansheng clenched his fists: "I'm not afraid!" ”

"You are back in Cining Palace for the time being." Meng Xilan said lightly.

Chu Ansheng looked up at her with a smile on his face: "Queen Mother, can you still protect me now?" I heard that your situation is just as embarrassing. ”

The people in the palace were all passing on the events of that day, consciously or unconsciously. Before his father died, the person who was by his side was her......

"You don't have to worry about this palace yet." Meng Xilan got up slowly, but saw a palace maid coming in a hurry outside.

"Niangniang, the emperor is here."

Since the unpleasantness of that night, Zhou Youchen has not shown up again.

Meng Xilan frowned slightly, glanced back at Chu Ansheng, and said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, just be silent." ”

Chu Ansheng took a deep breath, knowing very well what kind of test he was facing.

Except for Meng Xilan in this palace, everyone seems to be looking forward to his early death.

Zhou Youchen had a calm face, walked into the inner hall, and saw that Chu Ansheng was also here, and shouted sharply: "Come on, take him down to me." ”

He didn't make any eye contact with Meng Xilan, completely ignoring her.

Meng Xilan was about to kneel on her knees and salute him, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but raise her hand to stop her: "Slow! ”

The emperor's words are holy decrees, and no one in this palace dares not to listen to the words of the queen's mother.

The guards who stepped forward stopped one after another and looked at Zhou Youchen.

This simple move made Zhou Youchen angry.

"Take Chu Ansheng down!"

Chu Ansheng subconsciously took a step back and looked at Zhou Youchen, who was furious, only to feel that a knife seemed to be hanging from his neck, and the blade was close to life.

Meng Xilan stepped forward and blocked Chu Ansheng with half of her body.

"Your Majesty, you promised your concubines. The Chu family can't be ......"

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Youchen suddenly raised his hand and slapped her on the cheek.

"Bang", everyone in the hall was stunned.

Meng Xilan turned her head, and her left cheek hurt hotly.

Zhou Youchen's gloomy face was cold, and he pointed at Meng Xilan and said, "You are my queen, I don't want your identity!" I have pardoned the capital crimes of the Chu family, sent them to the frontier, and will be slaves for life, this is my greatest mercy to them! ”

Meng Xilan slowly turned her head and looked at Zhou Youchen in front of her, with no hatred or anger in her heart, and her voice was as calm as water: "What the concubine wants to do, she will definitely do it." The concubine wants to protect the person who will definitely keep it! If the emperor thinks that the concubine is acting presumptuously, he can directly write a letter of resignation and remove the concubine from the position of queen. ”

If you don't have power in your hands, no matter how high your position is, it's a false name.

What Meng Xilan wants is the right to say the same, not in front of Zhou Youchen, who is losing ground and losing her dignity.

"You! How dare you threaten me? Zhou Youchen sneered at her absurdity.

"As the concubine said before, the concubine will keep Chu Ansheng at all costs."

She lowered her voice.

Zhou Youchen looked at her coldly: "Okay, you have to keep him in the palace, don't you?" ”

"Yes." A categorical tone, with a resolute determination at all costs.

"Good! That's for my queen, my most beloved queen. I have perfected you! Zhou Youchen said with a cold face.

Meng Xilan was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't know what his purpose was?

Zhou Youchen glanced at Chu Ansheng, a sneer flashed on his face, and then said: "The men in this palace are either eunuchs or guards. Chu Ansheng is a guilty body, so he naturally can't take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the palace. Since the queen thinks that he is a usable talent, let him follow Gao Fu and serve you together. ”

As soon as these words came out, Meng Xilan's face was bloody.

Is he going to let Chu Ansheng be a eunuch?

Chu Ansheng obviously understood the chill in these words, his hands and feet were cold and stiff, his legs couldn't move, and his brain was buzzing.

Zhou Youchen looked at Meng Xilan, who was terrified, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled coldly: "It's all for you." You want Chu Ansheng to live, okay, I promise you! ”

Meng Xilan's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and she stared at Zhou Youchen in a daze: "Your Majesty, Chu Jingchuan's rebellion was done by him alone. The Chu family followed their ancestors to fight everywhere and made great contributions, which offset each other, and his descendants should not be reduced to eunuchs! ”

Zhou Youchen swept Meng Xilan with cold eyes, and looked at Chu Ansheng, who was already gritting his teeth with hatred behind him.

"Your father is dead, and it is a mercy that I spared your life. Either die happily or live humblely, the choice is yours! ”

Chu Ansheng's fists, shoulders, and even his whole body trembled, not because of fear, but because of anger.

This damn dog emperor!

Power, just because he has power in his hands, he can decide the life and death of others at will. The guilty, the innocent, as long as it is the person he wants to get rid of, no one is spared.

Zhou Youchen saw that he was reluctant to answer, so he looked at Meng Xilan again and said, "I give him the right to choose, see how he chooses?" ”

Meng Xilan said in a deep voice: "You are so cruel! ”

Anger and shame have distorted his whole person, and he is no longer the Zhou Youchen he used to be.

"It's you who is cruel! It's all because of you that I want to keep the Chu family dusty! ”

Meng Xilan took a deep breath, didn't look away, and stopped looking at his face.

Gao Fuli looked at the two masters with apprehension in his heart, hesitated a little, and then quietly went to Chu Ansheng's side and said, "Life is more important than anything else. If you live, your family will be saved...... If you die, they will die when they leave the capital. ”

This was his last piece of advice to him, as a "man who came over".

Although he was stabbed in the body, he was still a man, strategizing, and found a place for himself in this deep palace.

His words made Chu Ansheng come back to his senses from his anger, he gritted his teeth deeply, and made a desperate and bold decision: "Your Majesty...... An Sheng is willing to enter the palace cleanly, serve the mother, and repay the emperor's grace of not killing. ”

Meng Xilan was deeply shocked when she heard this, looked back at him, opened her mouth, and was completely speechless.

Does he know what he's talking about?

Zhou Youchen stared at him fiercely when he heard this, and suddenly burst into laughter, laughing very happily.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Those who know the times are Junjie! You're so much smarter than your father! ”

His laughter was piercing, Meng Xilan looked at Chu Ansheng and asked, "You want to be a eunuch?" ”

Chu Ansheng lowered his head, his face turned crimson with anger, "I want to live!" ”

Zhou Youchen looked at Meng Xilan when he heard this, and said: "This is Chu Jingchuan's evil seed, weak and incompetent, greedy for life and afraid of death!" After that, he threw off his sleeve robe and ordered someone to take Chu Ansheng down to cleanse himself.

High benefits silently keep up so that things don't happen again.

Meng Xilan stood in place, watching Chu Ansheng being taken away, and her heart tingled unbearably.

She clutched her chest and took a few steps back, only to see Zhou Youchen looking at her with a gloomy smile.

"I said that I want to cut off the Chu family! Lan'er, don't test my patience again, don't provoke me, question me, and oppose me! Otherwise, maybe one day, I will kill you with my own hands. It's like this......" He raised his hands as he spoke, gently pinched Meng Xilan's neck, and secretly forced: "I don't want to lose you, so you have to be obedient......"
