Smoke Xiang raised his chin, his momentum was high, and he looked directly at the emperor high above him with great pride.

Everyone in the hall was surprised, even the emperor was shocked. How so?

The two sleep in the same bed every day, why are they still naked? Could it be that Chu Tiankuo is not moving?

Many people cast scrutinizing glances at Chu Tiankuo, with contempt and ridicule, looking extremely strange.

Chu Tiankuo ignored the strange gaze and only secretly enjoyed in his heart. He felt that although his father acted in extreme ways, he also paid attention to honesty and fairness, at least he didn't let the female official tell lies.

When the cigarette incense was taken down just now, he was still a little worried, what should he do if his father was determined to slander the cigarette incense.

Now it's okay, everything is really ~ white.

"Father, I am willing to gamble and lose. Now that Yanxiang has proved her innocence, please keep her promise and crown her as the crown princess. ”

After a brief moment of shock, the Emperor grinned. When the inspection came to such a result, he was not angry but happy, not because he had changed his view of cigarettes, but because he was proud of the emperor. The emperor is really good!

His words and deeds were meant to belittle the incense, but they also damaged the reputation of the emperor. Fortunately, the emperor is self-conscious, knows how to respect himself, does not fall into the truth, and is an example for all the people. He was deeply gratified that the emperor had such determination and patience.

In the future, when the emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely be a good emperor who is forbearant and responsible.

However, this also indirectly shows that the emperor loves and cares for cigarettes. If it weren't for the deep love, he would never have restrained her feelings and desires so much.

If the emperor ascends the throne, the incense will definitely become his weakness. In any case, he was going to stop them from being together. Only a ruthless emperor can govern this great western kingdom well. For the sake of the people of the Great Western Kingdom, he can only sacrifice the happiness of the emperor.

In the future, when the emperor ascends the throne as the emperor, he will be able to appreciate his good intentions.

Between national righteousness and personal feelings, the emperor chose the former.

"It's because I misunderstood the cigarette. Smoke and the emperor's childhood sweetheart, like brothers, I decided to ......" The emperor was halfway through his words and suddenly stopped.

Chu Tiankuo and Yanxiang looked at each other and smiled, their mood was as bright as clearing the dark clouds and seeing a sunny day. Naturally, they thought that the emperor kept his promise and fulfilled them according to the gambling contract.

"I decided to seal the incense as Princess Changle, and reward 10,000 taels of gold and a mansion." The emperor's voice spread throughout the hall and lingered in everyone's ears.

At that moment, Yan Xiang stared at the emperor, revealing that he couldn't grasp the essentials.

Chu Tiankuo made a coax in his ears, as if he had been pricked by a sharp needle, and his whole body was a little numb.

Those civil and military officials looked amazed, and they all looked at the smoke with jealous eyes.

Lu Cai'er was named the county lord, which has attracted the envy and jealousy of countless courtiers. At this moment, as soon as the emperor Chrysostom opened, he actually sealed the cigarette as a princess, rewarded ten thousand taels of gold, and a mansion, which was really a great grace.

An orphan with no father and no mother can rely on the relationship of the prince to fly on the branches as a phoenix day and night.

Who knows what's going on in the hearts of cigarettes? She is not uncommon to be a princess. It is true that 10,000 taels of gold and a mansion, such a super rich reward is still tempting ~ full of temptation for her.

It's just that although she loves money, she loves her brother even more. Accepting the reward means that she is done playing with the senior brother.

Without waiting for the cigarette to speak, Chu Tiankuo could not suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and roared angrily: "Father, what does this mean?" Could it be that you want to backtrack? If the father insists on this, please forgive the son for being unfilial. “

"I have made up my mind, so I don't need to say more." The emperor's heart was as hard as iron, and his voice was so cold that there was no trace of warmth.

This move will definitely hurt the feelings of father and son, and the emperor knows it, but he has made up his mind and it is difficult to change it. If you say it, you can't take it back.

The emperor turned to look at the incense of smoke and gave an order: "Incense of incense, kneel down and listen to the seal." ”

Chu Tian was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Seeing that the senior brother couldn't figure it out, Yanxiang had to kneel down, and refused without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty, the people's daughter is just an orphan, ignorant, vulgar, and unworthy of a reward, begging the emperor to take back her life!" ”

Even if there is a lesson from Chi Le's refusal to marry, and the refusal of the reward for cigarettes and incense, the courtiers still bow their heads and whisper. This kind of pie falling from the sky, how can anyone refuse? Besides, resisting the will is not respectful, it is a matter of losing the head.

"I say you're worthy, you're worthy! Today, I will make you the princess of Changle, and another day I will choose Ruyi Langjun as a concubine for you. Kneel down. The emperor's attitude was very strong, and his tone could not be refused.

Yanxiang tried not to provoke the emperor, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what if the people don't obey?" ”

"To resist the will and disrespect is to deceive the king. Whether you want to be rewarded or killed, the choice is yours. The emperor's forehead was bruised, and the cold light in his eyes could make the snow fly in June.

Chu Tiankuo pursed his lips and said nothing. At this time, his mind was full of anger and dissatisfaction. was framed by Xiangye before, which didn't make him so annoyed.

He endured and endured it, so that he didn't say the cruel words. He understood his father's painstaking efforts, but he couldn't accept such a cruel arrangement.

Smoke Xiang pulled out a smile with difficulty, and there was no fear between his eyebrows: "Don't give a reward, let alone lose your life." The people persuaded the emperor not to kill me. If the emperor kills me, the prince will hate the emperor for the rest of his life. What's more, the emperor promised my master to ensure that my life would be safe. ”

At the mention of Master, the smoke incense was full of excitement, and when Master said that the emperor was very likely to make her a princess, she didn't take it to heart. Now, Master's words have become a prophecy.

The emperor noticed the smell of smoke at this moment, as if he had changed as a person, not only no longer messing around, but also knowing how to retreat as advance. It's a pity that the emperor loves her too much, and he really can't tolerate her.

Smoke understands her intention to make her a princess. If she is named a princess, then she and Chu Tiankuo are brother and sister, and they cannot get married, which is contrary to morality. This is clearly forcing her and her senior brother to a dead end.

"What a clever tongue!" The emperor applauded, and the cold light swept the cigarette incense: "I hate being threatened the most. How dare you threaten me? ”

"Tobacco incense is disrespectful, criminals deceive the king, they should be beheaded, and they will be sent to heaven immediately!" The emperor waved his hand: "Someone!" He put her in a prison to await execution. ”

The air pressure of the entire Heart Cultivation Hall dropped suddenly, and almost all the people in the hall held their breath and stared, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

The cigarette was not noisy or noisy, so she knelt there quietly, waiting for the palace people to come up and get her.

Several female officers with superb martial arts were ordered to step forward and take away the cigarettes.

"Wait!" Chu Tiankuo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly let out a low snort, shocking the people around him.

The female officers froze.

When the emperor saw that things had taken a turn for the better, he waved his hand and motioned for the palace maid to step aside first. He had no intention of executing Yanxiang, but he just wanted to inform the emperor that Yanxiang's life was pinched in his hand and make the emperor obedient.

"Father, the son regards the incense of smoke as his life, if she dies, the son will not survive!" Chu Tiankuo's deep voice contained ~ loss and panic.

"You!" It's really unproductive! The emperor almost burst into foul language, and this time he was really angry.

In front of so many courtiers, the prince said such a depressing thing!

There was an uproar in the hall, and the courtiers broke out into a commotion~ commotion. Such a prince who only loves beauty and does not love the country is really disappointing. How to inherit the future throne in the future?

"Father, the emperor, the sons and daughters grew up in the people since childhood, and they are used to living an unrestrained life, and they return to the palace with strict gates, and there are many discomforts. Erchen begged his father to remove the crown prince and let Erchen stay in the people and be an ordinary man. ”

Chu Tiankuo's words were not impulsive, but carefully considered.

This prince, he doesn't want to be anymore. With his soft-hearted personality and compassion for others, I am afraid that he will not be qualified to be the king of any country. I'm afraid that the Great West Kingdom will be destroyed in his hands.

He can't be a ruthless emperor and let her lose her cigarettes, so what's the fun in his life?

After a few words, the image of the crown prince collapsed in the hearts of those courtiers. Such a prince has no fighting spirit, how can he govern the country?

The emperor didn't know that the emperor's words were from the bottom of his heart. It's just that the emperor is negotiating with him. For the sake of cigarettes, the emperor really did everything.

The emperor was deeply distressed: "You! For the sake of a woman, you want to abandon me and the people of the Great Western Kingdom? ”

Yanxiang was moved by the simple words of the senior brother. Unexpectedly, the senior brother was willing to give up the throne for her. In order to avoid conflict between father and son, Smoke had to make sacrifices.

"Your Majesty, the folk girl doesn't want to be a princess, she just wants to be a commoner. The folk girl can swear to the sky and no longer pester the prince. Yan Xiang said, pointed three fingers to the sky, and made an oath: "The folk girl voluntarily separates from the prince, and she will never enter the palace in this life." If you disobey, you will not die well! ”

The emperor should be satisfied with such a guarantee, right?

Sure enough, the emperor was satisfied. "Good! Very good! Emperor, did you hear that? ”

Chu Tiankuo nodded lightly.

Lu Cai'er felt that Chu Tiankuo's attitude was very strange, neither angry nor dissatisfied, but a kind of detached indifference.

Finally got rid of the heart disease, and the emperor exhaled with relief.

"Your Majesty, the people's daughter is retiring." There is no place to stay here. The words have been spoken, and Yan Xiang doesn't want to stay in this palace for a moment.

"The day after tomorrow, King Yong'an gets married, and you will stay and drink the wedding wine before leaving the palace." The emperor's mood improved greatly, and he continued: "I have summoned you Aiqing here today because there is a happy event to announce. ”

As he spoke, the emperor glanced at Liu Xin, who immediately took out a holy decree and read it out in public.

I didn't want to hear the cigarette, but after all, I couldn't get rid of my strong curiosity. The more she listened to it, the more uncomfortable she felt in her heart, and the holy decree was to the effect that the emperor had selected the crown princess and the two side concubines for the senior brother.

She had already made up her mind to accompany her senior brother to live in the palace, learn the rules, and restrain her heart, but the emperor still did not allow her to marry into the royal family.

She is not sad but happy, just so she can roam the rivers and lakes and live a free life.

To the emperor's surprise, the emperor's son Chu Tiankuo had no opinion at all on the matter of giving marriage, and he was surprisingly docile, which made him feel a little uneasy in his heart.

After reading the decree, the emperor withdrew from the halls.

The incense of smoke left the Heart Cultivation Hall with the crowd.
