Xia Wenxuan heard her father openly say the words asking for a heavier sentence for Chu Tiankuo, and stood up from her seat.

She called in a low voice, "Dad! She wanted to remind her father to raise his noble hand and let Chu Tiankuo go.

However, at this time, Xia Wenxuan's request, Xiangye will not pay attention to it.

At the beginning, Xiangye was a thought, a woman's kindness, let Chu Tiankuo go, and now he has raised tigers. At that time, he thought that Chu Tiankuo was not the crown prince, and his daughter was forced to die, so he reluctantly agreed, and did not kill Chu Tiankuo.

Now, Chu Tiankuo is the crown prince, there is a grudge and hatred between him and Chu Tiankuo, he wants to assassinate Chu Tiankuo, I'm afraid there is no chance to do it. He can only declare his personal vendetta and use this case to put Chu Tiankuo to death.

Although Chu Tiankuo was imprisoned for ten years, it was already a good result. Ten years of change, vicissitudes. However, if he could win a more severe punishment for Chu Tiankuo, why wouldn't he do it?

Xia Wenxuan saw her father turn his head and ignore her, she gritted her teeth, and had to go into battle in person: "Lord Duan, there are still many doubts in this case, and the case can't be closed too hastily!" ”

Isn't this a clear criticism of Duan Zisheng? She directly said that Duan Zisheng handled the case sloppily, which is a more serious accusation. It's just that Duan Zisheng is not angry but happy, looking at Xia Wenxuan without speaking.

I've seen a cheating daddy, I've never seen such a cheating daddy!

Hearing this, Xiangye's face turned green in an instant, like a bone eel in his throat, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy. However, in the face of his precious daughter, who openly contradicts him, he is helpless.

Chu Tiankuo threw a glance at Xia Wenxuan, just this glance, his gaze met Xia Wenxuan's gaze. He felt a strong love from Xia Wenxuan's eyes looking at him. That look was like the eyes of smoke looking at him, and it was discharged.

At that moment, Chu Tiankuo's mood was extremely complicated. Xia Wenxuan's words, to outsiders, are just a matter of facts. However, Chu Tiankuo knew in his heart that she was favoring him and helping him speak. Between her father and him, Xia Wenxuan chose to stand on his side.

Chu Tiankuo's heart was like a river encountering dead branches and fallen leaves, blocked its way, and it couldn't flow. He rejected Xia Wenxuan several times, but she never gave up and kept spending her mind on him. Even in court, she didn't hide her love for him. She openly opposed her father, and it was also for him.

He sighed in his heart, why was she so dedicated to him? He only has cigarettes in his heart, and he can't tolerate anyone else at all.

The smoke and water veins wanted to speak, but Xia Wenxuan took the lead in saying the words. Both of them were touched in their hearts. They originally came to see Xia Wenxuan and King Yong'an getting closer, thinking that the two of them had a show. Who knows, Xia Wenxuan still has a deep love for Chu Tiankuo.

Although both Yanxiang and Shui Wei knew Chu Tiankuo's mind and knew that he had no love for Xia Wenxuan, the woman's jealousy was still aroused.

Especially cigarette incense. When she saw the affectionate eyes of the senior brother and Xia Wenxuan, she felt a sour feeling in her heart. She strongly felt the uneasiness and guilt emanating from the senior brother's body, which could be seen from the fact that he lowered his head slightly.

Is he guilty of Xia Wenxuan? Or do you feel Xia Wenxuan's deep affection?

Yanxiang felt jealous in her heart, and in order to take revenge on her senior brother, she looked at Dongfang Hong. It just so happened that Dongfang Hong also met her gaze, and the eyes of the two were intertwined in the air.

Just looked at each other for a short time, the smoke couldn't bear it, and she quickly lowered her head, her heart was weak. obviously has no feelings for Dongfanghong, but she has to pretend to like it, but she can't do it.

However, Dongfang Hong was very affected by this feeling, and his eyes were still staring at the incense.

The small movements between Yanxiang and Dongfang Hong, why didn't Chu Tiankuo notice it? His sense of crisis is getting more and more serious, and he is faintly worried that if Yanxiang continues to develop with Dongfanghong, he will really abandon him.

I have to say that Yanxiang's revenge was very successful, and it really attracted Chu Tiankuo's attention.

As far as Yanxiang is concerned, she is not at all worried that this case will be unfavorable to the senior brother. It's only a matter of time before the truth is revealed, and that blood book is enough to explain everything. They are now proving the authenticity of the blood book, only temporarily. Because the time is too rushed, there is no time to investigate and collect evidence in detail, as long as it takes time, the truth will definitely be revealed.

She was more worried about her future with her senior brother. She has a faint crisis, if the senior brother is acquitted and returns to the palace to become the prince, is it possible for her to be with him?

In front of her, there is a woman like Xia Wenxuan and Shui Mai who are beautiful and have both virtue and ability, and who still loves her senior brother with all her heart. Unknown, I don't know how many more?

Let's not say that Shui Mai is willing to give everything for the sake of the senior brother, which makes her ashamed. Let's talk about Xia Wenxuan, it all makes her feel a sense of crisis.

No matter what the attitude of the senior brother is, Xia Wenxuan's feelings for him are unswerving, which still makes her quite entangled. Men in ordinary families can have three wives and four concubines, not to mention the status of a prince like a senior brother?

The elder brother will also marry a wife and take a concubine in the future, right? In this case, he may really marry Xia Wenxuan.

Moreover, the emperor will definitely choose famous ladies for the senior brother, the daughter of the prince, and the last time the official lady. Like Shui Wei and Xia Wenxuan, she got into the eyes of the emperor, but what about her? She is just an orphan girl with no father and no mother, no matter her identity, family background, talent and knowledge, she can't be compared with those famous ladies.

Hey, Yanxiang sighed slightly and fell into depression.

In the first year of Xingde, Hong Gaode proclaimed himself emperor, established the Great Western Kingdom, and set the capital of Fengcheng. In the early days of the establishment of the regime, the surrounding countries were eyeing the Great Western Kingdom and provoked wars for no reason. Before the expedition, Xu Guifei, the mother of Xigong, was 8 months pregnant. The emperor proposed an edict, if the prince was born, he would be named Hong Chengye, and the prince would be established, and if he was born a princess, he would be crowned Princess Changyu.

After Emperor Hong left the palace, Queen Xia made a plan to let Xu Guifei slip the fetus, who knows, the sky did not fulfill her wish, and the fetus in Xu Guifei's womb was born, and it actually survived.

"Your Majesty has already doted on Concubine Xu, and now, she has given birth to a prince again, and I see that our master and queen throne will not be able to be kept."

"Isn't it? Listening to the palace maid in the West Palace, the prince was born white and fat, very cute, his face resembled His Majesty, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, and he must be a good emperor when he grows up. ”

This is the little palace maid in the queen's palace whispering in private.

Even if they don't talk about it, the Empress Xia knows that if she doesn't try to get rid of the prince, I'm afraid that life won't be better in the future.

She immediately summoned her elder brother Xiangye and Chu Xiang, the head of the imperial guard, to discuss countermeasures. They plotted to burn down the West Palace, which was carried out by General Chu.

At the critical moment, General Chu gave up the idea of harming the prince and exchanged his own son for the prince's exit from the palace.

Xu Guifei cried and cried, turned her heart sideways, picked up the hairpin, and used the tip of the hairpin to tattoo the word "heaven" on the prince's left shoulder. The stab is in the child's body, the pain is in the mother's heart, and after the stabbing is finished, Xu Guifei's painful liver and intestines are broken. She trembled and hung a jade pendant on the crown prince, which was given by the emperor himself, and there is only one in the world today.

Concubine Xu Guifei kowtowed to Chu Xiang, and said with tears in her eyes, "General Chu, please accept my three bows, your great kindness and great virtue, this palace will repay it in the next life." ”

"Niangniang, you can't help it, please get up ...... quickly" As he spoke, he heard footsteps outside, General Chu picked up the prince and hurriedly fled through the side door.

Xu Guifei fainted.

The person who came was the imperial doctor Feng Nanyang. Legend has it that this person was originally a man in the rivers and lakes, and his nickname was the fortune teller. He can pinch and calculate, not only has excellent medical skills, but also has extraordinary martial arts. He took away General Chu's son, performed light skills, shuttled freely in the palace, easily got rid of the pursuit of the palace guards, and left the city safely.

After Xia, he ordered people to burn down the West Palace, and Xu Guifei and a cadre were buried in the fire. During the inventory of the body, it was found that the body of a baby was missing. Plus General Chu Xiang's whereabouts are unknown. Empress Xia and Xiangye concluded that the prince was most likely taken away by Chu Xiang. So, Empress Xia secretly sent people to hunt down and kill General Chu Xiang.

In the fourth year of Xingde, the emperor returned triumphantly.

Xia Hou was shrewd and capable, and kept this matter a secret. Emperor Hong didn't believe that Xu Guifei really died in an accident. He often dreamed of the crown prince, and he has been sending people to investigate the matter secretly, but he has not been able to find out the truth, Chu Xiang disappeared, and Feng Nanyang also disappeared.

In the fifth year of Xingde, the queen gave birth to a son, and Emperor Hong named him Hong Cheng'an. The queen thought to herself, the emperor obviously did not have high hopes for this son. Empress Xia thought to herself, even if the emperor delayed issuing an edict and appointing a new crown prince, Emperor Rihong would die, and the throne would be her son's sooner or later. However, she still had some concerns, twenty-four years ago, she sent someone to hunt down and kill Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang was seriously injured and died, but the prince did not know who rescued him.

For more than 20 years, there has been no news of the prince. If the crown prince is still alive, then he will be the biggest threat to Hong Chengan's succession to the throne. Besides, once this matter is revealed, she and Xiangye will definitely be in trouble.

Emperor Hong Gaode reigned for 24 years, he worked hard, knew people well, the country was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Hong grew old and missed his lost prince more and more, and finally fell ill.

Knowing that Emperor Hong was ill, Feng Nanyang sneaked into the palace to see the emperor.

"Bold Feng Nanyang, you are guilty, you have been hiding for more than 20 years, and I have been sending people to look for you and General Chu for more than 20 years. Do you know about Concubine Xu? Emperor Hong cried with joy when he saw him.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. When the queen wanted to burn down the West Palace, the minister arrived after learning about it, and the minister came one step late, and the prince had been taken away by General Chu. In a panic, Zhongchen rescued General Chu's son and handed him over to a foreign master to raise. For the past 24 years, I have been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the prince, but I have never found it. The ministers have the great trust of the emperor. Feng Nanyang was full of guilt.

"What a queen. Over the years, I have seen her keep to herself and teach the emperor carefully, but I never thought that she would be so vicious. I'm going to send her to the cold! Emperor Hong gritted his teeth angrily and slapped the imperial case.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. There is no evidence, if the emperor does this, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court and panic among the people. Feng Nanyang persuaded.

"I can not pursue the queen's guilt first, but the prince can't be left behind, and I must find him back." The emperor was resolute, calmed down for a while and sat on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, look for the prince openly, and the prince will inevitably be framed. It's better to visit secretly. Feng Nanyang suggested.

Emperor Hong painted a portrait of a twenty-four-year-old man according to his own appearance, handed it over to Feng Nanyang, appointed Feng Nanyang as the minister of the Qin Mission, and gave Shang Fang a sword.

"Emperor, where are you?" Emperor Hong sighed.

In the twenty-fifth year of Xingde, the country of the Great West was peaceful and peaceful, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Wunan Mountain in the northwest of Fengcheng, the imperial capital, after the heavy rain, the sky is exceptionally clear, the sun has tilted westward, and the clear blue sky has disappeared. In the afterglow of the sunset, the mountains still maintain the freshness and coolness after the rain, just like "after the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn." The realm.

Wunan Mountain, a mountain full of bamboo, a boundless sea of bamboo. At the highest place on the top of the mountain, there is a secluded and elegant dwelling, all made of bamboo, divided into two layers up and down, hanging a plaque, with four big characters "Wunan Villa" written on it. There is a large yard in front of the bamboo house, and the yard is planted with exotic grasses. When the breeze blows, you can smell the aroma of flowers and plants.

"Senior brother, you have to stay a few more days when you come back this time, we haven't seen each other for two years. I heard that everyone in the rivers and lakes calls you the son of a fan. A delicate-faced girl stood in the courtyard, wearing a white dress, no fat powder, but it was fresh and refined, like a budding white lotus, only to hear the girl's voice was extremely sweet: "Your martial arts are so powerful, I have your protection, and I am no longer afraid of encountering thieves and gangsters." ”

"I don't like to listen to flattery. I usually tell you to practice martial arts diligently, but you don't practice seriously. Senior brother Chu Tiankuo gently patted the head of the cigarette with the fan in his hand, put on a straight face, and pretended to be serious: "If you meet a bad person in the future, I don't care about you." ”

"Hmph, you don't care about the little junior sister." Yan Xiang pursed his lips, glared at Chu Tiankuo, turned his face away, and pretended to be angry.

"Heh, you are my only junior sister, how could I not care about you. During the time I was away, I walked the rivers and lakes thinking about you and Master in my heart. Chu Tiankuo looked at her with a look of annoyance, and said with a smile: "I can't protect you for the rest of my life, you will always marry in the future." ”

"Senior brother, if I marry you in the future, you can protect me for the rest of my life." Yanxiang buried his head in Chu Tiankuo's arms and said coquettishly.

"Nonsense. Senior brother will help you find a wishful husband in the future. Chu Tiankuo patted her head dotingly. This little junior sister, who hasn't seen her for two years, has grown taller again. He affectionately scraped his nose and said, "Have you practiced in the past two years?" ”

I don't care about the past at all, but there is a faint surge in the depths of my eyes

sighed lowly, and looked at her helplessly, but the depths of his eyes were full of thick complexity, as if two intertwined threads, cut and untied

A sharp pain stabbed through his chest like a knife, causing every tiny nerve to tremble.

He looked at me sincerely, regardless of the stares cast around him, and I felt that the big eyes under his thick eyebrows were insincerely attractive. He delivered me a friendly message, and I looked up

Thinking of Mu Lu's shallow expressionless face, and the eyes that were as black as jewels,

Yu Zhen said the most, Gao Xuan occasionally interjected, and a little surprisingly, Gao Xuan had the impression that Cheng Yang was a person who liked to talk very much, but he didn't speak much today, he looked absent-minded, and looked at the door from time to time.

coughed helplessly, stepped forward and hugged her shoulders and joked: "Yi'er's vinegar is so strong, my husband is about to drown in that sour vinegar."
