Chapter 553: Pretending to be a prince
Several guards received the order, stepped forward vigilantly, and approached Chu Tiankuo with a hard head.
However, when they were a few steps away from Chu Tiankuo, they stopped and did not dare to step forward again. Even if Chu Tiankuo stood there motionless, they didn't have the courage to catch him. As soon as they saw the face that resembled the emperor, they panicked.
Initially, Chu Tiankuo heard the queen's order to arrest him, instinctively took two steps back, instantly lifted his mind, and made a precautionary appearance that no one should approach. It was as if whoever was close to him would have to fight with whomever he wanted.
He knew that the queen was going to deal with him, how could he be obediently arrested? He only hated himself for not putting on his wings and flying away from here. He tried to escape with a light skill, but in the face of the many archers, he had to give up the idea. No matter how good his light skills are, no matter how fast his reaction is, he can't compare to the arrow off the string.
With the formation of ten thousand arrows, he didn't want to see it again. He believed that if he did not run away, the queen had no good reason to shoot him on the spot. It was true that he broke into the palace without permission, but there were so many people present who saw his appearance clearly, and the queen ordered him to be shot, I am afraid it will be difficult to block Youyou's mouth.
At this time, he pinned his hopes on Liu Xin and those guards. Based on their previous bowing down to him, this show of reverence for the emperor. He felt that perhaps with their cooperation, he could compete with the queen.
He glanced at the minds who didn't dare to approach him, and frowned slightly, feeling sorry for their bodies.
Those people couldn't get down for a long time, and the queen stood there with an angry face, and the cold light swept a piercing glance at those guards, intensified the offensive, and coldly reiterated: "Don't do it yet!" ”
The guards, with their knees weakened, fell to their knees. One step forward is afraid of the emperor, one step back is afraid of the queen, and both sides cannot afford to offend.
It's really torturous for them. Those of them who worked on errands in the palace really tied their heads to the belts of their trousers. If you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe.
"The queen mother's life! The queen is gracious! They wiped their sweat and were terrified, and begged for mercy.
The queen glared at them coldly, and spat: "Useless things!" ”
Obviously, the assassins were standing there, but they just didn't dare to move. How doesn't this annoy her! If it weren't for the majesty of the queen, she would have wanted to do it herself.
She teleported her gaze, looked at the guards beside her, and casually pointed to a few: "You guys up!" ”
The guards who were targeted were as frightened as if disaster had struck, and their faces were immediately covered by gloomy mist, fearing that they would be reluctant but had to obey orders. They received the order and slowly approached Chu Tiankuo.
Liu Xin, the chief eunuch, had a very strong idea in his mind to save Chu Tiankuo. Although he knew that the queen would not listen to him, he still wanted to do his best.
"The queen is angry! Can you make a favor, maybe he has a last resort, can you let him defend himself? Liu Xin asked tentatively.
Hearing this, the guards in front of him stopped and glanced back at Liu Xin.
The queen didn't have time to think about it, and when she saw them pause, she shouted irritably: "Hurry up! ”
She didn't pay attention to Liu Xin. On weekdays, she gives people the impression that she is not smiling and extremely serious. It's not that he didn't hear Liu Xin's words, but he ignored him.
Liu Xin is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, but he can't win the queen's heart. The emperor and the empress are originally opposites, as long as they are the people the emperor likes, the empress is disgusted, except for her emperor. Perhaps, many guards and eunuchs in the palace want to act according to Liu Xin's face, but the queen does not take him seriously.
Liu Xin's words did not attract the attention of the queen, but they gave the other guards a start. Among those guards, there were many loyal supporters of the emperor, and when they saw Chu Tiankuo's face that resembled the emperor, they naturally wanted to stand on his side.
This group of people knelt down together and pleaded for Chu Tiankuo: "Queen Mother, this person's face looks like the emperor, maybe it is the emperor's blood." It's better to give him a chance to speak his way first. ”
It's good that they didn't say this, but when they said this, they hit the queen's sore spot. Just because he was a royal bloodline, she wanted to kill him. She has been planning hard for so many years, in order to let her own son ascend the throne as the emperor, how could she tolerate others to steal the country from her own son?
She glanced at them fiercely, and said in an unquestioning tone: "This palace will catch this person and interrogate him." You don't have to worry about it, you just have to do your part. ”
A pun intended. He rejected the pleas of the men and accused them of disobeying the command.
Those people looked at the queen with a complicated look on their faces, and they looked at the queen with sincere fear.
At this time, Chu Tiankuo took the initiative to admit for the first time: "There is no need for interrogation. I am Chu Tiankuo, the son of Huaifan, that is, Hong Chengye, the prince that my father is looking for. Because I heard that my father was seriously ill, I sneaked into the palace to meet him. I also hope that the queen can open up the net. ”
He saw that those people pleaded with him to no avail, and he did not want to embarrass them again. It had come to this point, and there was no need for him to hide it anymore. The prince's affairs are already well known. Be lenient in confession and strict in resisting. He thought that if he said this, the queen would let their father and son meet.
It was only right for him to visit his father, and how could the queen stop him.
How could the queen not know Chu Tiankuo's identity, just by his face, she could already guess who he was. However, she can't admit this kind of thing.
"Your father? Are you Hong Chengye? The queen laughed on her back, and her exaggerated laughter was full of arrogance and irony. She laughed unscrupulously and said: "Joke, you can't sneak into the palace to assassinate, say that you are the prince." There is only one emperor in the emperor, and that is Hong Chengan, the king of Yong'an. You say that you are the prince because you look a little like the emperor, which is really ridiculous. ”
The queen was right. There is only one emperor in the emperor. The assassin in front of him, who looked like the emperor, was not confirmed. They thought that the Assassin was the prince of the Lost Folk and was just guessing. Even if this is a good possibility, it can only be guessed until it is confirmed. People with the same face all over the world have existed since ancient times, and they abound. If you can recognize the emperor based on your appearance alone, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world?
Chu Tiankuo's reaction was also very fast, he ignored the queen's ridicule, and did not hide the arrogance in his heart to everyone: "Queen Mother, since I have recognized my identity, I have my own way to prove it." Pretending to be a royal family is a felony of the Nine Clans, who would joke about this? I just want to be able to meet my father after I have confirmed my identity. The rest is at the disposal of the queen. ”
He had only one central idea, and he wanted to see his father, the Emperor. Others, he can compromise.
Seeing Chu Tiankuo's categorical attitude, those people fell to him like this again.
"That's right! The queen mother, the minions agreed with this move. "Those who respect and love the emperor, Aiwu and Wu also support Chu Tiankuo and stand up for him.
