As soon as the seven days of filial piety have passed, the new emperor will ascend the throne.

The emperor died too suddenly, leaving no edict at all, and Chu Xiuran, as the crown prince, ascended the throne naturally.

After the enthronement ceremony, Chu Xiuran held a funeral ceremony as the new emperor.

Seventy-two big men carried tens of thousands of catties of coffins carved with black dragon totems, all the way through Suzaku Street, bypassing the moat, and invited the first emperor into the imperial tomb.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the first emperor mourned, seeing that all this was going on in an orderly and logical manner.

However, the real undercurrents are only now beginning to surge......

Chu Xiuran had just come to the pro-government of the dynasty, and there were constantly concerts, and the content of this concert was unexpectedly the same.

Some ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee unanimously impeached Chu Xiuhan.

said that the death of the first emperor was inseparable from Chu Xiuhan, because Chu Xiuhan collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the first emperor was angry with Chu Xiuhan.

"It's just nonsense."

Xiao Ruoxi listened to the news brought by Su Ye, and was so angry that she jumped up directly from the couch.

She's never heard of a popular person, and she's really angry.

This is obviously Chu Xiuran privately instigated those ministers to deliberately impeach Chu Xiuhan, so they found such an unjustified reason.

"Not only that, they are also spreading rumors everywhere, and now they are spreading everywhere that it was the prince who made the first emperor angry to death."

Su Ye told Xiao Ruoxi the news he had inquired about one by one.

It was really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, and everyone knew that the prince and the king of Han were rivals.

Now that the first emperor has died, and the crown prince has ascended the throne naturally, these people have praised the high and stepped on the low, which is simply too deceitful.

"Then no one in the court stood up to speak for the prince?"

Xiao Ruoxi frowned, she didn't know the specific situation in the court, but if someone was holding Chu Xiuran, she didn't believe it, with Chu Xiuhan's ability, she would be isolated in the court.

However, Xiao Ruoxi really didn't know the direction of the court.

These people who have been in the officialdom for many years, if they want to maintain their status, they have always fallen wherever the wind blows.

When Chu Xiuran was still the crown prince before, they could also see that the first emperor had a certain preference for Chu Xiuhan, and this preference may come from the first emperor's guilt towards Concubine Li.

So they were still more optimistic about Chu Xiuhan at that time, thinking that if Chu Xiuhan was fighting, it would not be without a chance.

But now, the first emperor suddenly said that he would die, the crown prince successfully ascended the throne, and the pattern had been decided, at this time, they had to think about their future.

But among them, it is inevitable that there will be one or two righteous awe-inspiring ones.

I saw Su Ye shook his head and sighed: "Lord Chen, the head of the household department, just stood up and said that before the evidence is found in this matter, you can't draw such an arbitrary conclusion based on just a few words, and the old minister thinks that there is still something ......strange about this matter."

"As a result, the new emperor convicted him of being a fellow party on the spot on the grounds that Lord Chen intended to shield the treasonous prince who collaborated with the enemy, and pulled the person out and beheaded him on the spot.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoxi's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Has the prince been locking himself in the study all this time?"

Since the end of his filial piety, Chu Xiuhan has locked himself in the study all day long, and he doesn't know what he is doing.

Whoever goes, he will not be seen.

Su Ye shook his head: "Actually, the prince is quite pitiful......"

Xiao Ruoxi turned his head and stared at Su Ye motionlessly, not understanding why he suddenly said this.

Su Ye glanced at Xiao Ruoxi and said, "The prince's biological mother, Concubine Li, died when the prince was three years old......

"How did she die?"

Of course, Xiao Ruoxi understood what Su Ye meant, growing up in this deep palace, if he didn't have the protection of his mother since he was a child, he would suffer a lot of grievances, and there was no one who could support him when he was bullied.

Su Ye did not directly answer Xiao Ruoxi's question, but talked about another thing.

"Concubine Li Guifei was acquainted when the first emperor went out of the palace to secretly visit the people when he was young, and he was listening to a play in a theater garden in Kyoto."

"So, Concubine Li was born in an opera?" Xiao Ruoxi asked.

Su Ye nodded.

It's no wonder that Concubine Li's background is so low, but she sat in the position of concubine in the palace, and it can be seen that the emperor really cares about Concubine Li.

"Concubine Li Guifei was beautiful when she was young, comparable to Na Xi Shi, plus the first emperor was handsome and chic when he was young, and he loved beauty, everyone had it, and both of them were young people with strong blood, and soon, the two fell in love with each other and came together."

Xiao Ruoxi can't deny this, looking at Chu Xiuhan's appearance, he knows that his mother was definitely a beauty who overwhelmed all beings back then.

"Later, the first emperor's secret visit ended, and he was ready to return to the palace, but because he was reluctant to Li Guifei, he proposed to bring Li Guifei back to the palace, Li Guifei refused at that time, she felt that she was used to being happy outside, and she didn't like to stay in the deep palace all day."

"Then why did she enter the palace later?" Xiao Ruoxi was a little curious.

Hearing this, Su Ye shook the folding fan in his hand and said nonchalantly: "Because she is pregnant." ”

Xiao Ruoxi suddenly realized that Concubine Li was a drama in the opera garden, but she was indeed pregnant with a dragon son, at this time, even if she was unwilling, for the sake of her child's future, she could not let her child be born in the opera garden, and in the future, she would only be looked down upon by others.

Coupled with the continuous persuasion of the first emperor, Li Guifei finally chose to return to the palace with the first emperor.

"Since the first emperor doted on Concubine Li so much, how could Concubine Li suddenly die?" Xiao Ruoxi pulled the problem back to the original point.

Su Ye glanced at Xiao Ruoxi with the eyes of an idiot, and said:

"For a woman, being favored by the emperor can not only make you enjoy endless glory and wealth for a lifetime, but at the same time, it will also make you fall into the abyss by accident."

"The first emperor originally had three palaces and six courtyards, and there were many concubines, and suddenly he brought a woman back from outside, and it was a pregnant woman, what would you think of those harem concubines, especially those concubines who have been in the palace for a while, but their stomachs have not moved?"

"Then they definitely won't let Concubine Li go?" Xiao Ruoxi muttered, as if she understood what Su Ye meant.

"Not bad." Su Ye nodded: "Especially when they found out that Concubine Li was just from a drama, they disdained Concubine Li's background on the one hand, and were crazy with jealousy on the other, a woman from a drama was pregnant with a dragon, how could they not be jealous?" ”

"So those harem concubines began to make things difficult for Concubine Li?" Xiao Ruoxi continued.
