Chapter 400: A Complete Break
And this word fell into the ears of the empress, but it was angered by the empress, and there was a loud "bang" on the side, and the tea cup on the desk crackled with the empress's movements, and the empress looked at Xichu Luning in front of her with a pale face.
"Imperial sister, you are so bold!"
Xichu Lu Ning's body shook for no reason, and when he realized that he was also afraid of the empress, his face showed shame and indignation, "Yes...... Lord Gao Chen, when have I ever offended you to be so bloody? The princess said that the king wanted to rebel, but is there any evidence? ”
"The evidence is there." Seeing Xichu Lu Ning's annoyed look, Princess Gao Chen didn't have any previous concerns. I saw him take out a pile of paper from his cuff and present it to the queen, the queen frowned and looked at it for a while, her face changed and changed, and finally showed helplessness and sent the pile of paper to the empress.
The empress frowned and took it, and it was written by Lu Ning of Western Chu, and what was written on the paper was a record of sending a letter with another person, mostly discussing how to provoke a war between Da Liang and Western Chu, and the other party also actively replied to the letter, but it has never been implemented.
At this time, the empress could no longer have the intention of protection, she was furious and threw those letterheads on Xichu Luning's body, Xichu Luning looked stunned, and was raised by the letter, "This is the ending that I have left behind to protect you for so many years?" ”
The empress looked at Xichu Luning in disappointment, "Imperial sister, this really makes people's hearts cold." ”
Xichu Luning lowered his head and looked at the letter on the ground, his face was stunned, "How can you have ......?"
"How can I have letters between the prince and that 'lord'?" Princess Gao Chen sneered and said: "The prince has always avoided me, but he will not avoid my brother, and even send letters to my brother every once in a while, this is what my mother found from what my brother left behind, presumably the prince doesn't know, why is such a thoughtful person as my brother keeping these incriminating evidence, right?" ”
Princess Gao Chen paced close to Xichu Luning, he was already tall, half a head taller than Xichu Luning, this stall, looking down at Xichu Luning, who was already bowing his head, was more condescending, but there was a bit of inexplicable humility and loneliness in his eyes.
"Let me tell you, my brother is close to the prince for the so-called wealth, so he naturally wants to hold his hand in case the prince abandons him one day. Brother, from the very beginning, just used the prince's. ”
Speaking of the palace lord Gao Chen, the remaining trace of reason in Xichu Lu Ning immediately collapsed, and she looked at Princess Gao Chen who was close at hand, "This is impossible, this letter has been passed for so many years, don't say that it is impossible for him to keep it......"
"Ten years ago!" Princess Gao Chen suddenly raised her voice, "It's just before I married you ten years ago!" ”
"You want to figure out, from the beginning to the present, who is the best person for you? Is it a brother? ”
Xichu Lu Ning's face was dull, and Princess Gao Chen continued to press step by step, "Ten years ago, I saved you who fell into the water, it was me, and later, it was my brother who impersonated you, so that you were attached to your brother, I suffered from the fact that you and my brother were happy, and I didn't say a word about this matter......
"Later, when you were assassinated, I also rescued you from your injuries, and you woke up and thanked your brother repeatedly, but do you know who arranged those assassins?" Princess Gao Chen still had a sneer on her face, and at this time, she saw Xichu Lu Ning raise her head with a hideous face.
"No way, there's no reason for him to kill me."
"Oh, why not?" Princess Gao Chen turned her eyes to look at the empress, "It's true that you were one of the most promising people to compete for the throne back then, but you didn't win the favor of the first emperor, the one who is most likely to ascend the throne is still the current empress, what do you think you should do if you want to please the empress?" ”
As if anticipating what Princess Gao Chen was going to say next, Xichu Lu Ning almost pleaded, "Don't say it, don't say it anymore......"
"As a brother, I naturally want to give you a head!"
When these words fell, Xichu Luning suddenly collapsed, she squatted on the ground, holding her head, and couldn't believe everything.
The faces of the empress and the empress were complicated, and at this moment they didn't know whether they should blame the poor person in front of them, or pity the person in front of them who would take revenge.
Xi Chu Yue Ling on the side looked at everything in front of her silently, she had never heard of these things, including those letters in Princess Gao Chen's hands, she originally only knew that Princess Gao Chen must be holding the handle of Xi Chu Lu Ning in her hands, but she didn't expect that it would evolve into such a complicated situation now.
She was more interested, who was the Daliang official who exchanged information with Xi Chu Lu Ning ten years ago and tried to be in the same stream, and if he went out, he still had to inform Chu Nian of this matter.
The Empress muttered, "Ten years ago...... Imperial sister, why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong? ”
"You're the least qualified person to say that." Xichu Lu Ning slowly straightened up, and in his eyes, his resentment was no longer hidden, "It's because of you, why is it that you are the only one who can win the favor of the mother emperor from childhood to adulthood?" Why, no matter how much I do, the Mother's focused eyes are always on you? ”
"You are indecisive, hypocritical, and hypocritical, on what basis is the throne yours? Is it just because you're the eldest daughter? ”
The empress was stunned.
"In the end, you have everything I want, but you still have to pretend to pity me?" Xichu Lu Ning stared at the empress in front of him, like a sword with thousands of hearts, "Heh, until now, you still have to ask me why?" ”
"Not really." Lord Gao Chen looked at Xichu Lu Ning, "The prince's words are too narrow. ”
"You know what! You old thing! Shut up! ”
"Presumptuous!" The empress looked at Xi Chu Lu Ning, who was about to catch Lord Gao Chen's wrist, with annoyance, "Xi Chu Lu Ning, in your eyes, I am such a selfish person?" ”
Taking advantage of this stall, Xichu Yueling had already protected Lord Gao Chen and Princess Gao Chen behind him, while the empress walked out from behind the table and looked at the angry Xichu Lu Ning, "I will tell you the truth today!" Xichu Luning, you are the most unqualified person in the world to sit on the throne! ”
"Why!"
"Just because you're not the Western Chu royal family!"
When these words fell, the room fell into silence for a moment, and Xi Chu Lu Ning looked slightly stunned, and a little girl walked out from behind the bookshelf.
This little girl is the Five Princesses, at this moment, the Five Princesses looked at Xichu Luning who was standing not far away with hatred, "You and I, the same!" ”
Xichu Lu Ning looked at the five princesses with wide eyes. I saw the five princesses take a few steps forward, and a pair of beautiful big eyes looked at Xichu Luning in front of me fixedly, "It's not exactly the same, you were brought back from outside the palace, and I was sent in by my biological mother." ”
Looking at the disappointed eyes of the five princesses, Xichu Luning lowered his head and couldn't see his expression. Princess Gao Chen on the side had mixed tastes, he raised his eyes to look at Xichu Lu Ning, "Who is the fifth princess?" ”
Xichu Lu Ning lowered his head and didn't speak, at this time, the empress was looking at Xichu Yueling meaningfully, Xichu Yueling pretended not to understand his mother's expression, and turned his eyes to look away.
Seeing that Xichu Luning was silent for a long time, Princess Gao Chen became more and more annoyed, he stepped forward, and his subordinates grabbed Xichu Luning's wrist fiercely: "You tell me, whose seed is she!" ”
"Yours!" Xichu Lu Ning didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it anymore, and now she didn't bother to hide it anymore. "I'm tired."
Princess Gao Chen was stunned, and lowered her eyes to see the reddened eyes of Xichu Lu Ning.
Xichu Lu Ning turned his head to look at the empress, and there seemed to be the last bit of hope in his eyes, "I, am I really not born to the mother emperor?" ”
The empress pursed her lips with a complicated face, but did not speak after all. For a long time, Xichu Lu Ning sneered, half-lowered his head, and looked at the little face of the fifth princess who was close at hand, that little face was three points similar to herself, and her eyes were like Princess Gao Chen, but no matter how she looked, she looked like another person.
She sighed: "Xiao Yu'er, I'm for your good." ”
The five princesses pursed their lips and took a step back, Princess Gao Chen stepped forward and hugged the five princesses into her arms to protect her, "My daughter, you have already harmed one, do you still want to harm the second?" ”
As if a broken jar was broken, Xichu Luning looked at Princess Gao Chen with his head raised, and there seemed to be a bit of arrogance in his eyes, "So what, do you know where Qing'er is now?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, Lord Gao Chen and Princess Gao Chen glanced at each other, and looked at Xichu Lu Ning vigilantly, "You take Qing'er...... What's going on? ”
"No way, what can I do." Xichu Lu Ning looked at the empress a little madly, "Lord Gao Chen is your important minister, right?" ”
The empress pursed her lips and didn't speak, and at this time, she saw Xichu Luning turn her head to look at Lord Gao Chen, "Do you still want to see Qing'er?" ”
As if thinking of something, Lord Gao Chen's originally pale face was iron-blue, but Xichu Lu Ning smiled more and more heartily, "You know what kind of person I am, let me tell you, if the empress doesn't ask me to leave today, you will never want to see Qing'er again in the future." ”
When these words fell, everyone in the room suddenly turned pale, and the empress said angrily: "Xichu Luning! When you are dying, you still have to do such inhumane things? Don't you want to make a good impression on future generations? ”
"What else can I be impressed?" Xichu Lu Ning looked at the empress with a gloomy gaze, "I just want to live now!" ”
When these words fell, I saw that she glanced at Lord Gao Chen and Princess Gao Chen meaningfully, turned around and rushed out of the imperial study, everyone did not stop her, Princess Gao Chen turned her head and looked at Xi Chu Yueling inexplicably, "Didn't Chu Nian say that she had a way!" ”
Xichu Yueling's face was serious, "Mother, I'll go out and come back soon, you should quickly ask Aunt Yao to lead the troops, and you must not let Xichu Luning run away!" ”
After saying that, she saw Xichu Yue Ling get out of the imperial study, and the empress was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Quick, you can do what Ling'er said!" ”
For a moment, the entire imperial study was in a panic.
At the same time, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu, who were waiting outside the door, saw Xi Chu Lu Ning who hurriedly walked out, glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.
Seeing that Xichu Lu Ning had walked half the way towards the Four Princes' Mansion, but suddenly changed direction, the two of them looked puzzled.
"If she went to Xichu Lu Qing to threaten Lord Gao Chen, why did she turn around? Isn't Xichu Lu Qing in the Four Kings' Mansion? This direction is ......" Chu Nian frowned slightly, and Ming Xiu's eyes on the side flashed slightly.
"You'll find out if you catch up."
