Chapter 249: Supplication

When Cen Muning opened her eyes, she was lying on a slightly hard bed, and she only felt a sore back.

"Who?" Through the slightly heavy curtains, she couldn't see at a glance who was sitting in the room, and she couldn't help but be shocked.

Zhuang Chenchen sighed, got up and walked to the side of the bed and lifted the curtain.

"Your Majesty." Cen Muning's expression was too natural from nervousness to joy, and she opened her arms and threw herself into his arms. She just didn't understand, who was the person who attacked her last night? Why was it close at hand, but it didn't kill her, but instead attracted Zhuang Chenchen to save her.

"Why did you leave the palace?" Zhuang Chenchen frowned and asked, his face a little bad.

"I haven't seen the emperor return to the palace for a long time, and the concubines are always unsteady in their hearts." Cen Muning's little bird drilled into his arms like a human: "The concubine is afraid that the situation will change, and she is afraid that her uncle will be confused and ruin such a good plan of the emperor." What's more, everything is safe in the palace, and no one will know about the concubines sneaking out of the palace. ”

"Is there really no one knowing?" Zhuang pinched her jaw, forcing her to look up into her eyes. "Last night, if I had come a little late, you would have died, did you?"

Cen Mooning subconsciously touched the wound on her neck, although it still hurt a little, it was definitely fine. "It's the concubine who is not good, which makes the emperor worried. It's just that the concubine decided to leave the palace temporarily, and last night's rain always felt that the emperor was close at hand, but I didn't expect to open my eyes at this time and really see the emperor in front of me. ”

Although she didn't know if the person who attacked her was the instigator of Cang Pian, but by saying this, she was already suspicious.

"The man who stabbed you, can you see it clearly?" Zhuang Chenchen asked while holding her face.

"Not really. The night was dark, and the concubine just remembered that he was covering his face......" Cen Muning touched the position where he was injured, and suddenly remembered something: "That person seems to be holding a sword in his left hand, yes, it is his left hand." ”

Zhuang Chen's eyes tightened, and he didn't make a sound.

"Your Majesty, is my uncle still unwilling to withdraw from the army?" Cen Muning's tone was full of pleading: "The concubine is willing to be a lobbyist to persuade my uncle to surrender and hand over the military power." ”

"I have my own decisions on the battlefield." Zhuang Chenchen was slightly displeased. "Wait a minute, I will let Yin Li send you back to the palace first."

"Your Majesty, the concubines have figured it out, and the living people are more important." Cen Muning held his hand and strained slightly: "Your previous conditions, the concubine agreed." It's not just a promise, the concubine will do a good job. I just ask you to give the concubine a chance, so that the concubine can try to save the Chu family, without endangering the imperial court. ”

"I said, let Yin Li send you back to the palace first." Zhuang Chen's tone was very resolute.

This made Cen Muning sensitively aware that he might have to go against his previous decision. "Concubine, don't go back to the palace."

She raised her chin slightly, met his eyes, and frowned slightly: "There are some things that the concubine can't do well if she tries her best." But there are some things, the concubine did not do her best, and she did not believe that there was no turnaround. If the emperor cares about his concubines, he won't be willing to let his concubines regret today's retreat, right? I'm afraid this will become a regret for the concubine in this life. ”

"I say it again, the things on the battlefield ......" Before Zhuang Chenchen's words fell, her lips were pasted by her soft lips.

She just closed her eyes and blocked what he was about to say with her lips. For a long time, she didn't go to hug him until she was hugged by him.

"Are you trying to use a beauty trick?" Zhuang Chenchen turned his face away dissatisfied. Although dissatisfied, he still hugged her.

"It's not." Cen Muning's tone was a little sad: "The concubine wants to say goodbye to the emperor." ”

"What did you say?" Zhuang Chenchen couldn't help but be angry.

"If the emperor refuses to let the concubine go to see his uncle, the concubine can only go by herself." Cen Muning said in a resolute tone: "The emperor knows, the concubines have never practiced martial arts, let alone know about warfare. After going here, there may be no return, so the concubines bid farewell to the emperor first. Of course, even if the concubine really persuades her uncle, the emperor will inevitably blame the concubine for disobeying the holy decree, and it is unknown whether she can return to the palace again. Please take care of the emperor. ”

She broke free of his hand, got out of bed with a straight brow and saluted him: "In the past few years, thanks to the emperor's protection, the concubines have been able to live in peace and enjoy all the glory. Although the emperor's heart is not entirely in the concubine, the concubine's ability to survive to this day is all dependent on the emperor's blessing and protection. It is a blessing for a concubine to be able to do one more thing for you in the end. The concubines blessed the emperor and the concubine to grow old together and never be separated. ”

She put on her clothes, put on her embroidered shoes, and walked past him with grace.

Zhuang Chenchen's face was very bad because of her, but she didn't seem to be able to see it.

"Yin Li." He snorted.

Outside the door, Yin Li hurriedly chased after him. "Queen Mother, you can't take any chances. was assassinated before leaving the palace, which shows that someone is already targeting you. If your subordinates say something that shouldn't be said, I'm afraid you'll already be in a different place before you see General Chu. Why should you be angry with the emperor? Let your subordinates send you back to the palace. ”

"Your Majesty." Cen Mooning didn't turn around, just looked into the distance calmly: "You know, if you decide something, no one may be able to change it." Concubines are just like you. Even if you stop the concubine and forcibly send her back to the palace today, you can stop this time, but you may not be able to stop the next time. If you lose your words to your concubines and hurt hundreds of lives in the Chu family, the concubines can't watch them die in order to covet their own fine clothes and food. ”

Zhuang Chenchen chased after her and grabbed her wrist. "I said, you are not allowed to interfere in this matter."

"Concubines can't do it." Cen Mu Ning looked at his eyes, and his tone was a little crying: "Zhongnan, if the concubine is not miscalculated, my uncle's troops are all there now." As long as he is willing to turn the gun and solve the hidden dangers in Zhongnan for the emperor, when the time comes, the emperor will drive in person and clean up the mess, just as if it is my dynasty and the monarch and ministers to join forces and do a good show. No one will investigate what means were used, and no one will doubt the loyalty of the Chu family. Your Majesty, even if you try to take back the Chu family's military power afterwards, you don't even allow the descendants of the Chu family to step into the court as officials again. The concubines just want them to live, they want them to live! ”

Yin Li had to admire the queen, this was indeed an excellent way. But it depends on whether the master will nod his head. "Master, what the queen mother said is very true. You can't go home empty-handed. The subordinates also feel that the disaster in Central and South China is the most important thing to clean up. ”

"Please." Cen Mu looked at his cold eyes with tears in her eyes: "Let the concubine try...... Let the concubines try ......"

Zhuang Chenchen let go of her hand, and his eyes were still sharp: "If Chu Rongzhi refuses, and he doesn't send troops to Zhongnan within three days, I will abolish you and punish the Chu family together, do you still insist on going?" ”

"Thank you for the Emperor's grace." Cen Mu knelt in front of him. She is not a queen, but she doesn't want to watch her relatives leave anymore and can't do anything about it.

"Send her there." Zhuang Chen's chest tightened. He never understood whether the Chu family was more important to her, or whether it was his affection for him.

"Yes." Yin Li respectfully received the order: "Queen Mother, please change your clothes, and your subordinates will send you to see General Chu." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cen Mooning wiped away her tears, turned around and returned to the inner room to change clothes.

Zhuang Chenchen kept her face stiff and silent, trampling on his majesty like this, she was the first, and hopefully the last.

In the rebel camp, an uninvited guest came.

This person broke through and touched the inner room and came directly to Chu Rongzhi.

Chu Rongzhi looked at him vigilantly, but the moment he uncovered the black cloth, the whole person was stunned. "Get out, get out. Get out of here! ”

Chu Rongzhi roared at the soldiers who came in to escort him: "Get out! ”

Everyone was frightened by his posture and hurriedly retreated.

Chu Rongzhi stepped forward tremblingly and grabbed his arms: "You are not dead, you are not dead......

"It's the child's unfilial piety, tired of the father to do such a disobedient thing. In the coming day, even if the child went down to the Yellow Spring, he would not have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors. Father, all this is the child's fault, the child is greedy for beauty, does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, does not listen to dissuasion, and makes a big mistake, father, all these mistakes should be borne by the child himself, please, collect the troops, surrender to the emperor. Chu Peiyuan's tears rolled out of his eyes, and he knelt down in pain, full of guilt. Father, surrender. ”

Chu Rongzhi hammered a few fists at his shoulder, his hand hurt, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "It's useless, the emperor will not forgive his father, and he will not forgive the Chu family." If you drive in person, you will return triumphantly. It doesn't matter if my father dies, but it's a pity that the reputation of my ancestors for many years has been ruined in the hands of our father and son. ”

"Nope." Chu Peiyuan shook his head again and again: "There must be a turnaround, father, the queen is out of the palace." She will definitely try to dissuade the emperor, as long as you are willing to surrender, as long as the Chu family hands over the military power, there is still a glimmer of life. ”

"Why didn't you stop the Queen?" Chu Rongzhi was hated and annoyed, and punched him again, knocking him to the ground. "My sister died young, at the hands of the gangsters. She only has one daughter. It was not easy to escape from Cen Yun's fingers, you are the mother of a country, your father is wrong, you are wrong, what is wrong with her? The emperor has always been ruthless and ruthless, if she intercedes for you and my father and son against the holy will, even if the current crisis is resolved, her future will be ruined. The emperor will not forgive her. What are we doing here......

"It's all the child's fault." Chu Peiyuan didn't understand why he fell in love with someone and wanted to promise to be good to her for the rest of his life, which would make him restless, and all the relatives around him would be affected. Is it wrong for him to love this person, or is it wrong for this person he loves? "The child will definitely try to remedy it, father, hurry up and think about it, is there any way to make the emperor not anger the Chu family and not hurt the queen......"

"Only ......" Chu Rongzhi thought for a long time before he said: "Only give the emperor what he wants most at the moment." ”

"Father is saying...... Central South? Chu Peiyuan's heart tightened: "Zhongnan is dangerous, and it has been a big trouble for the imperial court all these years. The father and son are willing to go incognito, change their faces, and just want to be a soldier and go to Central and South with their father. The right should be to compensate for one-ten-thousandth of the son's fault, and ask the father to fulfill it. ”

"It's fine." Chu Rongzhi nodded: "That's all there is to it now." ”

"When will the troops start?" Chu Peiyuan frowned and asked.

"Just wait for the queen mother to come, and then leave." Chu Rongzhi gasped: "There is always something coming out of the palace, saying that the emperor loves the queen and is very close to the mother." When the emperor was abolished, the queen tried every possible way to plan for the emperor regardless of her safety. I don't know if this is true or not. I hope that this incident will not implicate Niangniang. Otherwise, as you say, what face will I have to go to my sister in the future? ”
