Chapter 55: A Royal Scandal

In autumn, the flowers of the hibiscus* bloom outside the gray round arches on the side of the wall, and the flowers and branches are beautiful and beautiful, adding a bit of color to the bare ground outside the hall.

There is a white stone table next to the flower tree, and a man in a green robe on the table holds a white chess piece with his long fingers as white as bamboo, and his robe is as green as fresh water with a handsome face.

Ah Rong shuttled over outside the arch, put the crisp cake sent to the hall on the table, sat opposite Yu Zice, and chuckled: "Zice, are you playing chess alone?" Shall I accompany you? ”

When Xiao was in the Mansion, under the big cyan tree, a game of chess, she and Zice could fight for half a day, it was a comfortable time in a difficult life.

"Rong'er, I haven't seen you for a few days," Yu Zice's eyes were like a clear spring, and he smiled gently, "Come, let's play the next game first." ”

Ah Rong held the sunspot, and she also fell quickly every time Yu Zice fell, half a cup of tea passed, but Ah Rong's hand trembled, and the more this chess was played, the more she fell into trouble!

"Zice, I admit defeat!" Throwing the chess pieces back into the chess box, Ah Rong was stunned, in the past, playing chess with Zice when he was a teenager was always smooth, but now this game of chess is getting more and more depressed.

Yu Zice looked up at Ah Rong's beautiful face, as if he was noticing her demeanor: "Why didn't Rong'er continue?" In the past, Rong'er always refused to admit defeat. ”

Jun Yan swept the chessboard, and Bai Zi was surrounded by Kuroko like a dragon, and a game of chess was not finished, which made people lose interest.

"I can't finish this game of chess, it's too depressed," Ah Rong looked at his face in confusion, chess was like a state of mind, and felt more and more that Zice had something on his mind, so he asked, "Zice, do you have anything to worry about?" ”

"Rong'er, these troubles can only be told to you," Zi Ce touched the cool chess pieces in his hand and sighed, "Although the prince has lost power, and the king of Chu is very disappointed in him, he still has the possibility of counterattacking, the queen, Princess Erguang's concubine Xu Xuan, and the remaining party of the prince who has not been cleared are uniting and trying their best to keep the prince. ”

Recently, there have been fighting everywhere at the entrance of the mansion of the capital officials, and the soldiers on the streets have patrolled, and the people of Southern Chu are so frightened that they dare not go out in the daytime.

There is a secret rumor in the palace, since Zhong Lixun, who has never heard of political affairs, played the king on the matter of crossing the river and salt transportation, the prince could not sit still, and failed to raise troops to rebel, and many evil things about the prince were revealed one by one, and the old king of Chu was disappointed and ordered Zhong Lixun to check the prince's remaining party.

Ah Rong heard Miaolan mention these things, and after Zhong Lixun arrested her that day, she learned that Zice, who had been missing, had taken refuge in Zhong Lixun, although she hated that cold and cruel man, but Zice did not take refuge in him, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape the killing!

Ah Rong pondered, Zice was worried about Zhong Liyong's unextinguished matter, Zhong Liyong's true life story she never mentioned to others, she would not tell Zhong Lixun, because Zhong Lixun would definitely kill this matter!

But now? The killing is not reduced, should she tell Zhong Liyong's secret?

Between the whispers, Yu Zice's eyes did not leave Ah Rong's face, he wanted to find out the secret that Ah Rong knew about Zhong Liyong, and when he worked hard for Zhong Liyong, he happened to hear Zhong Liyong privately scolding Zhong Licang for killing his brother and taking the throne.

But the reason is that I don't know, so I want to ask Rong'er, but if you ask directly, Rong'er must feel that he is scheming, bitter in his heart, since the Yu family was destroyed, he took Xiao Luo all the way to Nanchu to survive step by step, if he is as high as in the past, how can he be able to seek justice for his parents!? Relying on the strongest people in Nanchu, he has a chance to become strong.

In fact, Rong'er was captured by Zhong Lixun, and he also privately passed on Rong'er's whereabouts, which was the best bargaining chip for Zhong Lixun to accept his defection.

However, for Rong'er, he didn't want her to see his no longer pure side.

"......" Ah Rong suddenly flashed something in his mind, and blurted out, "Zice, actually...... Zhong Liyong is not the biological son of King Chu, but Queen Xiangyi and King Nie gave birth to an affair! ”

"Rong'er, do you have any evidence?" When Yu Zice heard this, his handsome eyes moved, both surprised and delighted, Rong'er really knew.

Ah Rong continued: "I was imprisoned by Zhong Liyong in a secret room, and I found it when I escaped from the secret passage. ”

She looked at Yu Zice and said word by word, perhaps, only when Zhong Liyong completely fell, the killing of the Lidu royal court could be stopped.

Southern Chu Palace, Fenghuan Palace.

Princess Erguang was welcomed in by the palace maids, and when she saw Queen Xiangyi, her demeanor was like seeing a savior.

Queen Xiangyi sat in the hall in a phoenix robe, her eyes glazed: "Erguang, are you here?"

"The Queen Mother! What are we going to do! Princess Erguang cried loudly, such a big thing has long been out of proportion.

"Hahaha...... It's okay...... Zhong Lixun, that evil seed, still doesn't dare to kill us! ”

"The queen mother, the king is invited." At this time, the chief eunuch Zhang Gonggong beside Zhong Licang suddenly walked into the Fenghuan Palace.

Queen Xiangyi smiled angrily: "Okay, the king has finally found the palace!" The main palace is as you go. ”

Princess Erguang looked at the queen mother's hateful gaze and froze: "The queen mother ......"

She gritted her teeth, how could she let them go?

There was a resolute fierce look in his eyes, since he didn't give their mother, daughter, sister and brother a way out, she would also take away his most precious thing!

The king of the Chu Dynasty was furious, because today the left minister suddenly tried his best to play, and the matter of the civet cat replacing the prince with the queen was made public, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

There are all human and material evidence, and after dripping blood and recognizing his relatives, the old King of Chu, who once doted on this son again and didn't want to believe the facts, finally believed it.

The elders of the dynasty persuaded the king to calm his anger to no avail, and the king of Chu, Zhong Licang, angrily accused the queen of confusing the royal bloodline, committing adultery with outsiders, and vomiting blood when he was extremely angry and was bedridden.

He issued an edict to abolish the queen, the crown prince and the king, reprimanded Princess Erguang and the concubine, sent His Royal Highness to behead the rebels, and Princess Leling sent them back to the Middle Jin Dynasty.

The king was sick in bed at this time, and His Royal Highness won the hearts of the people.

In the main hall, a woman in gorgeous clothes wearing a phoenix crown jewel knelt on the ground and laughed wildly.

"Yong'er, who did you fornicate with?" Zhong Licang coughed heavily, his aging face was full of exhaustion, Xiangyi had hidden it for all these years, and now he was chilled when he thought about it.

"Hahaha, it's King Nie! Your own brother! Your Majesty, are you distressed? You killed him back then, you killed your own brother! Xiangyi also gives you a taste of being slapped in the face! Queen Xiangyi shouted, like a corpse sitting on the ground, without the slightest demeanor of the dignified Queen of Southern Chu.

"Many years ago, you had a personal affair with King Nie, and you were suspicious of it, but later you broke through his rebellious army, and I felt that I was wrong to blame you, so I forgot what happened...... Unexpectedly, you actually secretly married him...... Xiangyi, you are not lonely, but you betray Lonely! Zhong Licang coughed violently again, his face turned pale, and roared at the unrepentant woman below.

"My good king, you treat me well?" Queen Xiangyi smiled contemptuously, "You just used me to ascend to the throne back then!" Later, I hurriedly married Concubine Liu's slut, and doted on her mother and son, if she hadn't died early, would you have wanted to abolish me! Although Yong'er is not your own flesh and blood, but all these years of fighting in armor, fortunately sharing state affairs for you, can't you see it? Now you Yong'er are abolished, but the son of that slut is on the throne! But this son of a slut is also the same king, maybe he will also do something to kill his relatives and ascend to the throne! ”

"You ......" Zhong Licang covered his mouth and coughed up a ball of blood, panting and pointing at her, "Xiangyi, I never thought that you were so angry, you are Lone's wife, Lone has never thought of abolishing you, as long as you abide by the queen's duty, and ...... Lone will not kill your son, nor will he kill you, but he does not want to see you again. ”

The old King of Chu fell into deep memories, his face was old, and the taste of memories seemed to be more bitter than illness.

"Don't, don't! Your Majesty! Queen Xiangyi cried loudly, "I don't want to leave you, you are my beloved kingβ€”kingβ€”"

Love and hate, she is crazy, for decades, she loves him very much, and he loves another person.

The people thought that the heavenly family was worry-free, but they didn't know that as a queen, she only wished that her husband would be wholeheartedly devoted to her......

Zhong Licang shook his head and sighed: "What a problem! Oh no! Ryu'er ......"

Many years ago, everyone in the palace of Chu knew who Liu'er was, Liu'er was Concubine Liu's nickname, and Concubine Liu'er was the mother of His Royal Highness.
