Chapter 540: Things You Don't Understand
Mrs. Chu is gambling, betting that three people will become tigers.
Mrs. Chu said conclusively that this matter was planned by Bao Xi, and she believed that Xiuxiu would definitely say that this matter was instigated by Bao Hou. As for Empress Shen, she is not an ignorant person, if Empress Shen insists that it is Mrs. Chu's poison, then Shen and Chu will rebel, which will do no harm to the relationship between Shen Guo and Prince Yijiu, and she may also be sure that the poison is a compliment. The three of them pointed the finger at Bao Xi, Xiong Ning didn't believe that Ji Gongyan could still be so sure of his judgment.
Xiuxiu understands this truth, Shen Hou understands, and Xiong Ning also understands that only Bao Xi and Ji Gongyan can't see it thoroughly, just because they are thinking about Shen Hou with a frank heart, but they don't want Shen Hou Although he has already entered the cold palace, his heart is not indifferent to the world. Now that someone wants to kill his own son, how can he not do his best to protect his son? If you can also help Yijiu regain the crown prince, it will naturally be better.
That night, Mrs. Chu went to Empress Shen's palace with Ji Gongyan to detoxify Empress Shen, and as soon as this happened, it immediately spread everywhere, and even the East Palace quickly got the news. Xiren hurriedly broke in from outside the hall, and when he saw Bao Xi and Bofu who were eating, he quickly knelt on the ground and panted and said, "Forgive me after praise, forgive me after praise......
"What's wrong?" Bao Xi asked.
"There was news just now that the king and Mrs. Chu have gone to the cold palace of Queen Shen!" He said.
Bao Xi pursed her lips slightly, a kind of plausible smile, "What's all the fuss about, go down!" Empress Shen was poisoned, and Mrs. Chu was proficient in detoxification, so she naturally wanted to visit! ”
"Yes!" Xiren replied and retreated from the main hall of the East Palace.
"Doesn't the queen mother think it's strange?" Bofu looked at Bao Xi and asked, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, he didn't want to mention the matter of Ji Gongyan and Mrs. Chu in Youyang Palace in the afternoon at all, but now it is too much trouble for everyone in the harem, Bofu feels that this breath is difficult to swallow, "Empress Shen is poisoned and unconscious, and the imperial doctors in this poison palace are helpless, only Mrs. Chu can solve it, there is no doubt that the person who poisoned is Mrs. Chu, and the queen mother carried this black pot for no reason, and my father went over there to pamper Mrs. Chu, I also want the whole palace to know that they are you, me, Qingqing, and me! Doesn't the queen mother think that it is really not worth it for you to pay so much for your father? ”
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Bao Xi felt that Bofu was a little strange, "As a human king, some things are helpless after all, and several forces must be balanced, if this point is not grasped accurately and the balance is lost, it will definitely cause chaos in the world." He is the monarch of the Zhou Dynasty, the monarch of this world and Kyushu, he can't let this happen, everything must have been carefully thought out and thought twice before doing it! ”
"You speak for him like this, did he ever think of you when he was doing things?" Bofu patted the table dissatisfiedly and asked, "Mother...... I'll take you away, let's leave this harem! ”
"No way!" Bao Xi said very firmly, she wanted to explain to Bofu the reason behind Ji Gongyan's behavior, but she couldn't say this reason exactly, just like she could understand every move of Ji Gongyan, but she couldn't convert this understanding and understanding into the form of words to inform others, this is a tacit understanding of getting along for eight years and advancing and retreating together, but this tacit understanding cannot be humane for outsiders.
"Why not? Now that this is the case, what else is there to be attached to here? The queen mother was framed by someone, did your father come to you once to ask you about the cold and warmth, and ask you about the ups and downs of the whole thing? Bofu frowned and asked, "You only know that you continue to pay for him here, considering his hardships and hardships, but do you know that it is not easy and difficult enough for you to be in this harem...... When you are snubbed by him, what do the people in this palace think of you, do you know? ”
"I don't care!" Bao Xi shook her head.
"But I care!" Bofu stood up and patted his chest and said with a red face, "I care, I care that I can't even protect my mother, why can't I go?" Do they think I like this throne? I'm not rare, whoever loves to do it, who loves to give it to whom......"
"Slap ......" Bao Xi slapped Bofu on the cheek, and the words called Bofu stopped abruptly, and there was a burst of "buzzing" in his mind, looking at Bao Xi's eyes full of incredulity, not believing that his mother would treat him like this for a ruthless and cold-blooded father, Bofu took two steps back and shook his head to look at Bao Xi.
Bao Xi also looked at his hands, he didn't expect that he would do something to Bofu, and then he looked at Bofu but couldn't apologize to him, because he couldn't understand some truths, in the end, he was just a few years old, and he didn't see that his father was being coerced by the princes and was forced into a corner.
The war between the Great Zhou and the State of Chu is inevitable, but it will never be now, the so-called distant and close attack, the sudden turn of the spear of the State of Chu is discussed with the King of Zhou early in the morning, and the matter of attacking the State of Shen has been taken by the Marquis of Shen that day, so it is better to simply plan it...... In this way, the purpose of the Chu State is not to Shen State, but to the Qin State behind Shen State, for which the King of Zhou did not hesitate to sacrifice several small states near Shen and Chu to satisfy the ambitions of Chu State, and at the same time made Chu's actions anger the princes of the Central Plains of the entire Kyushu.
The invasion of the State of Chu will definitely arouse the vigilance of the State of Qin, and then unite the two sides of the dog Rong, the State of Qin is almost in his own bag, as long as the Great Zhou soldiers and horses are reorganized at that time to send troops to the State of Qin to fight against the State of Dogs, and then there are Zheng State and Qi State pretend to clamp down on the State of Chu, the State of Qin is undoubtedly the bag of Ji Gongyan, but at this time, someone made a clever incident after killing Shen, which made Ji Gongyan cry and laugh...... He didn't want to kill Yongzhi originally, but now he can't kill him, and the matter of attacking Qin has to be put aside for the time being, and he will first concentrate on dealing with Yu Shifu's comrades and others.
You have to do one thing first, and you can't let this opportunity go away for no reason.
Bao Xi trembled and looked at the bofu covering his cheek, "What time do you think it is?" Do you think that this position of prince is something you can do if you want to do it, and you won't do it if you don't want to? Why do you think you are sitting on this throne? You can sit on the throne of this prince, not because you can, but because Yijiu can't, you were born in the royal family, and you are destined to bear the burden of the world, do you think that you can let go if you want to, and you can give up if you want to? Running away is always a coward's behavior, and if I leave, then the entire harem will poke me in the back, saying that I am a murderer, and I will be charged with killing Empress Shen for the rest of my life. ”
"Not really!" Bofu looked at Bao Xi and said, he didn't refute or oppose these big truths, but he just didn't agree, he didn't agree with what Bao Xi said from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to admit all this emotionally, "Father has already taken Mrs. Chu to detoxify Empress Shen, and he will wake up after Shen in a few days, what does it matter if you are the murderer?" The important thing is that my father doesn't believe you at all, otherwise why wouldn't he even come to see you? Do you know that this poison was given by Mrs. Chu; Do you know this, but the father knows about it? Do you know that Mrs. Chu pushed this matter on you, and she insisted that you instructed her to go! How about you stay? What if even if Shen Hou wakes up? As long as Mrs. Chu bites her to death because you tell her to poison her, there will be suspicion and suspicion between you and your father, is this the future that the queen mother wants? ”
"How do you know these things?" Bao Xi's brows tightened, and he looked at Bofu and asked.
"Why wouldn't I know?" Bofu asked rhetorically, he flicked his sleeve, "If the queen mother thinks that she is doing the right thing, and the child also thinks that she is doing the right thing, we can use our own methods to try who is right!" After he finished speaking, he walked towards his room angrily, and Bao Xi was still in the main hall of the East Palace, Bao Xi's brows were deeply furrowed, I don't know how Bofu knew so many things, his one-sided understanding of things and a half-understood understanding of things were likely to make him make a wrong judgment.
"Praise the queen, you can't blame the prince for this matter!" Rong Qian stood aside and said to Bao Xi.
Bao Xi turned her face to look at Rong Qian, "You already know what the prince is doing?" ”
"It's not that I know, but I always feel that the prince is a little wrong these days, and he is in a trance, he should care about you, right?" Rong Qian said, "Even the slave maid thinks that the king has gone too far, you go to invite, but he doesn't come, but he goes to Mrs. Chu, and he is anxious to save Queen Shen." Shen Hou has suffered a lot, but you were poked in the backbone and said that you were a murderer, I am afraid that your heart is the most uncomfortable one, and the day before was very honorable, and on this day you were thrown in the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also cares about you. ”
Bao Xi shook her head, "You only see him as a man, why do you never understand his situation as a king?" After she said this, she also felt a little funny, and she didn't understand why she had to explain to Rong Qian, in fact, there were some things that didn't matter if they knew it at all, "You go and inquire, when will Empress Shen wake up?" ”
"Yes!" Rong Qian didn't say anything more, nodded and went out to inquire about Empress Shen. At this moment, there were also a few palace people who were also inquiring about the news of Empress Shen, and the matter also reached the ears of Huachen Hall soon after, Concubine Cai heard that she walked towards Xiuxiu, and said in a strange manner, "I used to think that the king had no feelings for Empress Shen, but now I don't hesitate to throw away the praise of the East Palace, and go to Youyang Palace to beg Mrs. Chu to wake up Empress Shen, but it is really a deep love between the couple!" ”
Xiuxiu frowned slightly and looked at Concubine Cai.
"It's strange to say, why didn't the king stop coming to Huachen Hall after this happened? Although I was also pampered before, I would always come to see Mrs. Zheng from time to time, but I haven't been here for the past two days, and I haven't even had a messenger! Concubine Cai said this with a smug smile on her face, but Xiuxiu's brows were locked deeper.
