Chapter 84: Chu Yuan's Careful Eyes (Second Update)
What happened that night was special if it was ordinary, and it contained a special meaning.
The next day, Chu Yuan's side had adjusted himself since last night, and everything was going as normal as before, without the slightest impact.
Xiao Chengmo here, the news of Concubine Zhen's pregnancy also spread throughout the palace, and although the other concubines in the harem were jealous, they were also happy for their own king, so no matter how sincere they were, they all brought gifts to visit and congratulate.
At this time, Han Feng was in one of the many strongholds of the Cloud Pavilion and when he came to his own territory, he was not afraid of Chu Yuan's follow-up. Cloud Pavilion is mysterious, and it will not be easy for those people to find him here.
That day, when Han Feng left from the next country, he firmly thought in his heart, he wanted the country of Chu, and Xiao Chengmo was what he wanted. Therefore, the ultimate goal of everything he did in the future was to kill Chu Yuan and get Xiao Chengmo.
The last assassination failed, Han Feng found the reason, it was not that he leaked secrets internally, but that Chu Yuan was too cautious and actually laid down so many secret soldiers in secret.
"Chu Yuan, are you scared just once, such a pity! But I won't let you go!" Han Feng smiled coldly, his eyes flashed with a faint light, revealing a cold glow full of evil, and the expression on his face was full of conspiracy.
After leaving the next country, Han Feng went directly to the desert, the purpose of which was to discuss some things with Ming Song again. Judging from the current situation, Chu Yuan and the next country have friendly relations, but there is no real friendly relationship between countries, they are mutually beneficial, if one party infringes on the rights and interests of the other, then disputes will inevitably arise.
Chu Yuan had already planned it, and now the spies he had planted in the imperial city also came with news that Chu Yuan had returned to the palace. Now, he only needs to wait for a few days to pass, wait for Chu Yuan to relax, and then find him some excitement.
……
What kind of plan Han Feng has, Chu Yuan didn't know, the people of the secret guard were still looking for Han Feng's whereabouts, but his attention was now more focused on Prince An.
However, there is one month to go before the third anniversary of the death of the emperor, and Chu Yuan attaches great importance to this day, and he must do it in accordance with the rules that should be done.
The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites have already begun to prepare, and from this day on, Chu Yuan ordered the whole country to wear vegetarian clothes for a month, and the palace followed simplicity everywhere, and because of this, Chu Yuan had to clean himself for a month, temporarily avoiding the trouble of flopping and sleeping.
On this day, Chu Yuan was shooting arrows on a grass in the garden, and just as he was engrossed in aiming at his heart, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind him. Chu Yuan was not distracted, and waited for the arrow in his hand to shoot steadily in his heart before handing the bow and arrow to the eunuch on the side, and turned to look at the person who came.
"We're looking at the emperor, I'm enlightening the emperor, and the minister has something to play!"
"What's the matter?" The person who came was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Chu Yuan glanced at him lightly, and sat down on the carved wooden chair on the side, "Your Majesty, Weichen was ordered to organize the ceremony of the emperor's death, but just before, the Ministry of Rites received an excerpt from Prince An, and the ministers did not dare to judge the above-mentioned matters, so I specially ask the emperor to make it clear!" With that, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu handed the fold in his hand to Chu Yuan, and then stepped aside.
Chu Yuan took the fold, and felt a little inexplicable in his heart, Prince An lived in the desert all the year round, except for the congratulatory gifts sent every year, there was always silence at other times. Now, something like that happened before, Chu Yuan was interested in Prince An, and now before Chu Yuan could find out, Prince An actually took the initiative to hand over the fold.
Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his demeanor was indescribably interesting, and when he opened the fold, Chu Yuan read it word by word. Soon, Chu Yuan's face became condensed, and his brows were also locked, as if he was very angry and confused.
"Prince An has written to Chen Chen, hoping to come to the imperial city to worship the ancestral emperor's spiritual seat?" Chu Yuan sighed in a deep voice and spit out this sentence coldly from between his lips.
"Exactly, seeing this minister, I also don't understand, when the emperor was in power, he clearly said that the desert would be the fief of Prince An, and he would be asked to guard a piece of land for the country there, and he would not be allowed to enter the imperial city without a call. For so many years, Prince An has never left the desert, and the first emperor did not say that he would come to the imperial city when he died, how could he ask to come to worship the emperor at this time? The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also couldn't understand, he sensitively noticed that this thing seemed to be a little unusual, so he hurriedly came to report to Chu Yuan.
"I'll think about this again, you go down first!" After the Ministry of Rites Shangshu left, Chu Yuan stood up with the fold in his hand, and when he left, he ordered: "Pass Lin Moxuan into the palace!" ”
Lin Moxuan came to the palace, and Lin An took him directly to the imperial study, and Chu Yuan was already waiting for him in the imperial study. Seeing Chu Yuan, Lin Moxuan saluted first, then looked at Chu Yuan's solemn face, and said with a slight question: "Your Majesty, what happened when Xuanchen came over?" ”
"Look at the fold on the table!" Chu Yuan was sitting on the couch on the side at this time, and after saying this, he picked up the tea cup on the desk, took a sip, and carefully observed Lin Moxuan's expression.
Lin Moxuan raised his eyes and saw a book of folds thrown on the desk, and when he took it and saw the handwriting on it, he immediately understood why Chu Yuan looked solemn, and after reading the contents inside, he even understood why Chu Yuan was unhappy and threw the fold here.
"Prince An wants to come to the imperial city to worship the emperor?" Lin Moxuan frowned and said in a condensed voice.
"Do you think he's just here to worship the emperor?" Chu Yuan snorted coldly, and said meaningfully, "If it is really as he said, he is extremely sad about the death of the first emperor immortal, and wants to worship in front of the first emperor's mausoleum in his lifetime, then what did he do three years ago, why did he have to come at this time!" ”
"Your Majesty, why didn't Prince An come to the imperial city in the year of the death of the first emperor, you must know best in your heart." Lin Moxuan is right about this, if Prince An came when the first emperor died, then he would be a thief's ambition, and it would be obvious that Chu Yuan would not care if he was purely here to worship the first emperor, he would only let Prince An come and go.
"Prince An is smart and steady, he understands the direction of the situation, and he will not do something reckless! However, why Prince An asked for a letter at this time, the minister is really a little hard to say! Lin Moxuan was a little distressed, things were originally a little complicated, but now that Prince An is in such a mix, this matter is not only complicated, but also a little sensitive, and it seems to be on the verge of breaking out.
"No matter what the reason is, I can feel that there must be something inside in this, and if Prince An wants to come to worship the emperor, it can only be thought. Back then, the emperor said that Prince An could not enter the imperial city without a summons, and if I didn't agree to it, he would have to wait! Chu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, full of arrogance.
Chu Yuan said this, Lin Moxuan didn't say anything, just as Chu Yuan said, no matter why Prince An wanted to come to the imperial city, without the emperor's permission, he couldn't step into the imperial city, otherwise he would be immediately beheaded under the city.
In this way, Prince An's excerpt was shelved there for the time being, Chu Yuan didn't take the initiative to speak, and the Ministry of Rites didn't dare to ask more, anyway, the excerpt had been handed over to the emperor, and if the emperor didn't make a statement, they just didn't receive it.
This month, the most important thing is to prepare for the death day of the emperor, Xiao Chengmo knew about it, and Chen Shuyi went over to talk about it. At the same time, Xiao Chengmo also gave Chu Yuan a letter in private, in which he said some warm words that were not love words, as if he was chattering, and also informed Chu Yuan that Concubine Zhen was pregnant.
Concubine Zhen is pregnant, which means that Xiao Chengmo is going to have her own child, it stands to reason that Chu Yuan is naturally happy for him, and he is also the king of the same country, so he naturally knows the importance of heirs. However, looking at the letter written by Xiao Chengmo himself, imagining his joyful expression when he wrote this paragraph, he felt a little mindful in his heart.
His child, the child he had with a woman! Moreover, the news that Concubine Zhen is pregnant has only now come out, and it can be seen that Xiao Chengmo has only recently spoiled the woman.
Chu Yuan calculated in his heart that it had been two months since he first went to the next country. Two months ago, he saw Su Ziche and forced him, and then he knew that Su Ziche was Xiao Chengmo.
At that time, Chu Yuan's mood was complicated, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to those things anymore. But who knows, after knowing Xiao Chengmo's identity, the two of them can still be entangled, so that they have developed to the point where they are today.
Men are domineering, especially Chu Yuan is not only domineering but also domineering, although he knows that he is not qualified to ask Xiao Chengmo for anything, but now when he hears the news that his woman is pregnant, it is something that happened after he asked him, and there will be a sour feeling in his heart, mixed with a trace of inexplicable anger.
Chu Yuan knew that he was jealous, or that he had subconsciously regarded Xiao Chengmo as his person, he wanted to control and let him only be loyal to himself, but he felt ridiculous when he thought about it.
Don't say whether Xiao Chengmo will feel like this, that is, when he favored the queen before, he obviously felt strange and obviously minded, but in the end, didn't he still suppress the little thought in his heart and go on with everything as usual? How dare he ask Xiao Chengmo to guard him like this?
This is something that must exist between them, and no one can change it, even if his heart is a little uncomfortable, and the bitterness he gives birth to, he can only swallow it silently, and at the same time he should congratulate him in the reply.
Of course, in the end, Chu Yuan's cautious eyes made trouble, and when he replied to Xiao Chengmo, he didn't mention that he said that Concubine Zhen was pregnant, but just expressed his thoughts to Xiao Chengmo, and said a few more deliberate love words, half-truths and half-truths asked Xiao Chengmo to worry more about him, don't be hooked by the beauties in the harem, so I gave up!
After sending this letter out, Chu Yuan couldn't sleep, so he took the fold sent by Prince An again, and read it word by word, first to find out if there was any clue hidden in this handwriting, or a conspiracy!
The second watch, this is Yangyang's explosive update, which has been sent!
