Emperor Chu disposed of Zhao Chen lightly before turning to Meng Yong.

"Mr. is a capable person, and he was favored by the Queen Mother and invited into Beijing, so he should know the etiquette and etiquette, and keep himself clean." Chu Huang's voice was cold, "The most important thing is to know the word duty." ”

Meng Yong regained his expressionless face again, and knocked on the ground: "The grass people obey the holy commandment." ”

Until the end, Emperor Chu didn't pay attention to the three princes, so he directly waved his hand to signal them to retreat.

——

After leaving the inner hall, Zhao Chen walked out with his head bored.

"Mr. Meng, the stage on this king's mansion has been set up, you might as well go all the way with this king to have a look!" The third prince, who had a blue nose and swollen face, became more and more angry in his eyes, but his voice was smiling.

Meng Yong looked at her back and said softly, "No, I'm tired of singing today." ”

The third prince did not give up, and smirked, "According to this king, don't borrow the Wuwang Mansion, this king has a foreign mansion, quiet and elegant, you can move there-"

Zhao Chen in front of him stopped suddenly.

"The third." Her voice was faint and her emotions were unclear, "That's what this king has played, and you don't feel dirty." ”

The smirk on the third prince's face shattered, but before he could figure out how to fight back, Zhao Chen strode away.

However, before Zhao Chen walked down the jade steps, he saw Lin Xuanchao walking with a calm face below.

For a moment, or two, she couldn't help blinking her eyes a few times, and then she remembered something terrible.

She's a guy with a fiancée...

Calculated and calculated, how did you forget this stubble-

"Go with the old man." Lin Xuanchao stopped beside her, and she didn't look at Meng Yong and the three princes who had just come out.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Chenqiang squeezed out a smile, "If you face the saint Chen Juan, the kid is still waiting for you here..."

Lin Xuanchao said: "Prince Wu, don't pretend to be confused with the old man, and the old man doesn't want to talk to you." ”

Hearing this, the third prince instantly gloated with more schadenfreude on his face, and couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't this His Royal Highness King Ji?" Lin Xuanchao glanced at him disdainfully, "Congratulations on holding the beauty, you have to watch it well in the future, don't let it out to attract bees and butterflies." ”

After speaking, he pulled Zhao Chen and entered the Qianqing Palace.

——

Emperor Chu had to report the time, and Zhao Chen's reaction was exactly the same, and after thinking about it, he summoned the two people in.

"Your Majesty." Lin Xuanchao took the lead and bowed down.

Zhao Chen, who was behind him, was silent and knelt down.

"Hurry up, I'm thinking that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't even have a person to say anything considerate..."Emperor Chu said with a smile and ordered: "Quickly give the King of Zhongshan a seat!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is here for Prince Wu." The chair was brought over, but Lin Xuanchao had no intention of getting up, "The minister has the courage to ask His Majesty to cancel this marriage, and I hope Your Majesty will allow it." ”

Emperor Chu's smile gradually retracted, and he said softly: "Today's matter, I have already dealt with it, but it is just a misunderstanding between children, King Zhongshan should not be careful." ”

Lin Xuanchao straightened up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is not a person who can go around the bend, and if there is any minister, he will say it directly." "One meal," Prince Wu is young and romantic, and he loves beauty, this minister can understand. ”

"The rumors in Beijing are not groundless, and the ministers know it." He said lightly, "When the ministers were in charge of their relatives, they also talked to Prince Wu that they would do everything in the past, as long as they don't get involved in the future..."

He Mu Ran continued: "But Prince Wu is jealous of this competition today, but it really makes the minister and the Lin family laugh and be generous, and the minister does not dare to ask you to investigate, I only hope that you can let the minister retire his relatives, so that he can keep this old face to relieve his armor and return to the field." ”

Seeing that Lin Xuanchao couldn't knock on the ground after speaking, there was a cold color in Emperor Chu's eyes.

Loot while the fire is burning –

These are the four words that appeared in his and Zhao Chen's minds at the same time at this time.

After this family affair was decided, the Chu Emperor also made concessions on the matter of military power, implying that only six-tenths would be charged.

But Lin Xuanchao not only handed over less than two points, but also delayed the rest of the handover for various reasons.

Until recently, the dark tide suddenly rose, and Emperor Chu was not only powerless to put pressure on him anymore, but he waited for him to have a chance to turn over...

Emperor Chu rubbed the armrest of the wooden couch with one hand, the cold light in his eyes flashed for a moment, and he said slowly: "You go back first!" I'll think about it. ”

Lin Xuanchao also simply kowtowed again, got up and left after saying goodbye.

The cold dead silence -

Zhao Chen knelt on the ground motionless, but he couldn't help but slander in his heart.

These old foxes are really hard to guard against...

Recently, she and Emperor Chu have been thinking about the third person, and they didn't think that Lin Xuanchao would jump out to pick up the leak.

"You hear it all." Emperor Chu's voice was faint, "He's going to bargain with me about your family affairs." ”

Zhao Chen couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore, and said in a muffled voice: "It's the minister who caused trouble for you." ”

After the silence, Emperor Chu slowly walked to the chair in front of Zhao Chen and sat down, and waved Zhou He back.

"Chen'er, you and I are not outsiders, I will give you a solid account today."

After a moment, he leaned over slightly and said in a low voice: "The emperor who is not in power is just a puppet and a puppet in the final analysis, and can only be manipulated by these powerful ministers in the name of loyalty..."

"I have succeeded to the throne for twenty-three years, but there are few things in the court that I can self-determine, I have to look at their faces, I have to listen to their advice, I am not the emperor, I am just their mouth."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes." Emperor Chu's voice was faint, "In the past twenty-three years, I have even restrained myself from dreaming. ”

Zhao Chen suddenly felt a tightness in his spine.

It's not anyone's heart, you can listen to it casually.

Seeing that Zhao Chen was silent, he smiled: "But since I dare to break the situation, I am fully prepared, and recovering the military power is only the first step, and the wind has just blown..."

"Chen'er, I've said everything I need to say, and I only ask you—" he laughed, "Would you like to go with me?" ”

Zhao Chen slowly straightened up, looking at the white hair on his temples and his dark eyes.

After a moment, she smiled and called softly: "Uncle." ”

Emperor Chu laughed out loud in satisfaction, reached out to her with one hand, and pulled her up from the ground—

………

When I returned to King Wu's Mansion, it was already an hour later.

Zhao Chen lowered his head and walked towards the main courtyard step by step.

The matter of Lin Xuanchao was handed over to her by Emperor Chu, and this was also the first test that Emperor Chu gave her after she clearly stood in line.

How can we not only keep the marriage, but also keep the bottom line of the Chu Emperor in recovering the military power.

She frowned slightly.

Lin Xuanchao, that old bandit, is not an easy to take care of-

Just thinking about it, the figure standing quietly in front of the east chamber made her pause, and her face sank.

Meng Yong also looked at her quietly, but after a while, he was defeated first, and he couldn't help but look away.

Her eyes were so clean and bright that he couldn't say a word.

Zhao Chen refused to give up, walked a few steps, pushed him into the house, followed him in, and closed the door.

"Am I spoiling your good deeds?" She was full of sarcasm, "Did you miss your beautiful scenery?" I'm being sentimental, am I? ”
