Chapter 72: Benefits

"Why aren't you surprised to see me?" The white-robed young man's fingers stroked the strings and asked with some surprise, originally wanting to see her panicked, but to her surprise, she just looked at him calmly, unmoved by it.

"Because before I came in, I knew that the person who played the qin was not Yang Xu!" Chen Qingxuan smiled lightly, "However, I'm still a little strange, Your Majesty actually knows the rhythm of music?" ”

The white-robed young man was not Yang Xu, but Yang Xi, the dignified Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"To people like us, you have to know a thing or two about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right?" Yang Xi got up and said with a smile, "However, since I ascended the throne, I may not be able to play the qin for a long time!" ”

Chen Qingxuan hung the white paper lantern in his hand aside, sat down on a chair, and stopped talking, this atmosphere was a little weird, ethical - Yang Xi should be angry, and even should give an order, revoke her title, put her in the cold palace, and wait for execution.

However, he didn't say anything, just slowly stroked the strings with his fingers, and the sound of the piano was in the dark, but there was a bit of killing in the elegance.

"Where did I show a flaw?" Yang Xi raised his head and asked.

"Your Majesty shouldn't have anyone to clean Luofeng Pavilion!" Chen Qingxuan said lightly, "A death row prisoner who is equivalent to being executed, does he not have such treatment?" ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have not felt sorry for him!" Yang Xi said.

"Oh?" Chen Qingxuan sneered, "Should I still believe that Your Majesty has a brotherhood?" ”

"Nope!" Yang Xi shook his head categorically and said, "There is no brotherhood between me and him - once you do it, it will naturally be your life and death." But I will not kill someone who no longer poses the slightest threat to me. ”

"Really?" Chen Qingxuan asked rhetorically.

"In fact, it has been proven that this is the case, otherwise, if I want to kill him, it will be as easy as a hand, and you will not see him, I will naturally dare to let you see him, and I am not afraid that he will be able to go out of the sky." When Yang Xi said the last sentence, his fingers slashed the strings, and the sound of the piano was high-pitched, and the sound cracked the golden stone.

"In that case, it's not early, so I'll go back to sleep!" Chen Qingxuan said, making it easy to get up.

"Wait!" Yang Xi suddenly shouted, "I want to ask Qing a word!" ”

"Excuse me!" Chen Qingxuan continued to sit down on the chair, she knew in her heart that at this time, Yang Xi must have already arranged people outside, waiting for her to go out, without his promise, she would not want to walk out of Luofeng Pavilion tonight.

"Why did you enter the palace?" Yang Xi asked.

"Your Majesty knows!" Chen Qingxuan raised her eyebrows.

"What I don't understand is - how did you do that?" Yang Xi asked, "I know that you are not dead, and I have always known that. ”

"Why?" Chen Qingxuan raised her eyebrows.

"I don't know, but I know you're not dead!" Yang Xi slowly shook his head and said, "I know what you want, but I don't know either." He does not use this emperor's exclusive self-title, but calls himself "I" like ordinary people.

Chen Qingxuan pondered for a moment, and then asked: "You are the biggest profiteer of the incident three years ago, you don't know, who else knows?" ”

"I'm just taking advantage of it!" Yang Xi said in a low voice, "In fact, you have also seen this mess, or, those people need a puppet that can be controlled, and I am unfortunately this unlucky one!" ”

"You don't even know?" Chen Qingxuan asked in a low voice.

Yang Xi nodded, he really didn't know, if he knew, he would have planned early, and he wouldn't have taken over such a messy situation in the end.

"Since you don't know, you still kill the prince?" Chen Qingxuan clenched his fists hard, he didn't know the truth, he actually dared to kill the prince and plot to seize the world?

"The meaning of killing his father!" Yang Xi shook his head and said, "I just made the executioner who came forward!" Without the nod of my father, how could I depose the first empress, kill the crown prince, and imprison Yang Xu? ”

"You're right!" Chen Qingxuan nodded, the situation back then was too chaotic, and if it was not handled well, it was simply a major event that shook the society of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and many people were eyeing it, so the first emperor needed to find a substitute for the dead ghost, and the poor prince became the damn substitute for the dead ghost.

No, in fact, it was not the prince's fault, but the fault of the first queen - who gave the first queen the surname Lu?

"Plus, there's one thing you might not know!" Yang Xi frowned and said, "The fourth child is not dead, and his whereabouts are still unknown!" ”

Even if Chen Qingxuan had been very calm, he changed color slightly and asked, "This is true!" ”

Yang Xi nodded and said, "Of course!" After all, we are brothers, we grew up together since childhood, I personally examined him after his death, that person is not him, although the appearance is very similar, I think he has been prepared early in the morning, otherwise, where to find such a similar stand-in temporarily? ”

"Even so, the Second Highness is still alive, how did you ascend to the throne?" Chen Qingxuan asked, although she asked so, it was really a bit rebellious.

Yang Xi didn't care at all, and said in a low voice: "It's the Queen Mother's meaning!" ”

Chen Qingxuan understood that the queen mother in his mouth was the concubine of the first emperor, the biological mother of the second highness, Yang Xi's biological mother had died of illness a few years ago, but the biological mother of the other four highnesses was still alive and was not involved in the rebellion case between the fourth highness and the prince.

The queen mother's meaning is really a bit incredible, at that time, the prince rebelled, and Yang Xu, another concubine of the first emperor, was also put in prison and awaiting execution, and the second highness should be the logical one to ascend the throne, but the queen mother actually supported Yang Xi, who was not her own flesh and blood, and ascended to the throne?

"I want to meet Yang Xu!" Chen Qingxuan said.

"I heard that you two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood?" When Yang Xi heard this, he was unhappy, his fingers crossed the strings again, and he said in a low voice, "Don't force me to really kill him, in fact, I am really reluctant to be a person like him." ”

"I've long forgotten what happened when I was a child!" Chen Qingxuan said coldly, "Whether you kill him or not, it has nothing to do with me, you don't have to use him to blackmail me!" ”

"What do you want from him?" Yang Xi looked up at her, "Actually, we can discuss and discuss, why don't we cooperate?" ”

"Is it good?" Chen Qingxuan asked, in fact, her entry into the palace already means cooperating with him, although he, the emperor, has done enough, but if many things do not go through him, the emperor, it is too difficult to do, and once it passes through his hands, it will be easy and above board.

For example, those in the south of the Yangtze River, thinking of this, Chen Qingxuan couldn't help but smile.

"Benefits?" Yang Xi smiled, "I have nothing, how about giving you people?" ”
