"Do you hate your father?"

Hate? Chu Jun asked himself, hating his ruthlessness to his mother, hating his indifference to himself, after so many years, he had long forgotten what it was like to hate. But he won't be grateful to him, he hasn't done anything worthy of his gratitude.

"Maybe it's a way he's protecting you."

Chu Junxi was shocked, and raised his head in a daze to look at the person who was sitting on the dragon bed and was the same as his father.

The harem is full of calculations and intrigues, and the slightest carelessness is a different place, and the mother lost the favor of her father when she gave birth to herself, so she has been living alone in a cold corner and no one cares about it, until this time she was married.

Is this how the father protects himself? Chu Junxi thought of those royal brothers and sisters who died early because of the battle between the women of the harem, and a trace of softness crossed his hard and cold heart.

"Does the emperor love his two sons?"

Maybe it was because he had just experienced a test of life and death, or maybe it was because the emperor at this time had lost his usual fierceness, and Chu Jun regretted to ask a big rebellious word.

At this time, in her eyes, the emperor is no longer the emperor, but an old father, a father who is annoyed by his son's unfilial piety. As soon as the words came out, Chu Junxi realized his recklessness and looked at the emperor cautiously.

Yuan Qingduo didn't care about her recklessness, "No one doesn't love their children. ”

Yuan Qingduo's gaze became deep and distant, as if he was recalling the past and thinking about the present.

"There is only one throne, which prince does the emperor plan to pass on?"

Yuan Qingduo no longer squinted but looked at Chu Junxi, and his eyes returned to his usual shrewdness and wisdom.

Chu Junxi was awakened by his eyes, knelt on the ground with a 'goo'dong', and kept kowtowing, "The emperor forgives the sin, the slave knows the mistake, the slave and the maid don't talk nonsense anymore, please forgive the emperor." ”

In the quiet inner room, only the firelight flickered in the gauze cover, and the shadow of Chu Junxi reflected on the ground was trembling.

"Get up."

Chu Jun raised his head tremblingly, seeing that the emperor was not angry, he put his mind at ease, annoyed by his recklessness, he was always cautious in his words and deeds, how could he forget to do it in front of the emperor today, fortunately, the emperor didn't care.

"Do you think any of them have the ability to inherit the throne, and who can bring peace to the people of Guyu?"

Chu Jun was sincerely afraid, "The slave and maid are a female stream, and they don't know how to govern the country. ”

"It's just you and me here, but it's okay, I won't treat you for offending."

Chu Junxi carefully considered his words, "When the slave maid first arrived in Guyu, she was not familiar with everything in Guyu, but the slave maid felt that those who could lead the army to fight must have their wisdom, and it was not a righteous gentleman to kill their father and seize the throne with ill intentions. ”

Hesitating, Chu Junxi added, "Parents are as kind to themselves as a mountain, how can people who don't treat their parents well treat the people well." ”

Yuan Qingduo didn't speak for a long time, but he didn't get angry either, as if he was reminiscing.

Chu Jun cherished his courage and whispered, "Did the slave say something wrong?" ”

"It's not early, let's rest."

Chu Junxi thought back to what he said to the emperor just now, did he make the emperor unhappy by saying something wrong? Secretly annoyed, I must control my mouth in the future, and I can't talk nonsense without knowing the sky.

There was a tingling pain in his left shoulder, and he unconsciously reached out to touch it, the tentacles were sticky, and it was bleeding, Chu Jun was sorry to find white medicine to heal the wound in the Eight Treasure Cabinet, the wound was not very deep, and it should be fine soon after applying the medicine.

In the fierce battle in the Wancheng Palace, when the sword stabbed with cold light in the bright light, he didn't think much about it, but fortunately, the guards were well-trained and quickly led the enemy away, otherwise his life would not be guaranteed.

At that time, I had been watching the fight with high tension, and I thought it was just a puncture of my clothes, but now that I relaxed, the pain swept through my body.

Thinking of Su Guifei, Chu Junxi's fingers holding the celadon white bottle gradually turned white.

"What? Failed? Su Xueyao stared at the round and stood up, and the teacup on the table 'clanged', "A group of waste, even a sick seedling and a woman can't be killed, what does this palace want you to do." ”

"The emperor has guards around him to protect them, their martial arts are extremely high, their subordinates, their subordinates ......" The black-clothed man's voice trembled, it was useless to say more at this time, it was a fact that they did not complete the task assigned by the mother.

"Guards?" Su Xueyao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, they are all athletic, extremely strong in martial arts and tacit cooperation, they should have been ......"

"That's enough." Su Xueyao interrupted angrily, "This palace is not looking for you to listen to you praising others, don't blame others if your skills are not as good as others." ”

The man in black was stunned and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes." ”

"Go down, don't come out for the time being without a summons from the palace."

"Yes." The man in black stepped back, suddenly thought of something, and hesitated a little, "There is one more thing ......"

"Speak."

"In Wancheng Palace, we originally had a chance to kill the emperor, but it was Princess Ning He who blocked a sword for the emperor, and then his subordinates never had a chance to get close to the emperor."

"Princess Ninghe?" Su Xueyao gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to chew on this life.

Since you insist on going against this palace, then don't blame this palace for being ruthless, "Come on." ”

"Yes." Thousands of maids heard about it and sent it.

"Tell the eldest prince and Mrs. Su to come and see you."

"Yes."

The assassination and the poisoning slid like water, without attracting any discussion, as if it had never happened, and the maids and inner eunuchs looked as usual and kept to their own things, if they didn't know the inside story, Chu Junxi really thought that he had a mad disease.

The wound on his shoulder had healed a lot, leaving only a faint pink mark.

The situation in the palace is becoming more and more urgent, Chu Jun can't help but think of the second prince who is far away at the border, does he know all this that happened in the palace? There is also the man in black who has only met twice without knowing his identity, he knows everything about the wind and grass of the palace, but he has not moved, how does his master plan the next step?

The winter nights are cold and silent, and the biting cold wind fills every corner of the palace.

Chu Junxi sat in front of the window, the charcoal fire in the house was extremely prosperous, and the whole room was warm.

saved the emperor by herself, Concubine Su's character of revenge, she ruined her big things, she will not keep herself alive. The ribbon around her neck glowed with a soft light, Chu Jun unconsciously reached out and touched the jade pendant on her waist, the jade pendant was cold to the touch, and her heart slowly calmed down.

The cyan jade pendant and the bright red yarn reflect each other very beautifully, the jade pendant is delicately carved into the shape of a lotus leaf, implying that all wishes come true, and the jade pendant has a delicate texture and is beautifully carved.

Chu Junxi held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, this jade pendant was given to him by Su Ao when he returned to Hou Yan, saying that he could bring good luck to himself, how many dark nights in Gu, it was this jade pendant by his side, with it, as if Su Ao was by his side, he would not be afraid.

What are you doing now? Do you know that I am now on the cusp of the royal battle between the Gu family, and Concubine Su may kill me at any time.

Before the snow had melted a few days ago, the weather became gloomy again and the clouds were thick, and the cold and damp wind was seamless, as if it had frozen into people's hearts, and the residual leaves on the ground rolled into the air and swirled in the distance.

The night in winter is always very early, there is no light in the sky, Yueniang is covered by dark clouds, and there is not even a star in sight.

When it was time to fall asleep, the maid closed the carved window of the inner room and left, and in a short time she turned back, her face like ashes and her body trembling slightly.

Chu Junxi put down the curtain of the dragon bed and got up puzzled, "What happened?" ”

The maid continued to walk forward, and Chu Junxi saw the cold sword around her neck, glowing with a piercing cold light. The maid continued to walk forward, and the person behind her appeared in Chu Junxi's sight, and Chu Junxi's eyes couldn't help but widen.
