Chapter 220: This is the Emperor
Be quiet.
Death as quiet.
Obviously, the hall was full of people, but everyone waited with bated breath, for fear of making a little noise.
"Your Majesty, the matter should be clear by now, won't you say something?"
At last, someone spoke, and the voice was very soft and pleasant. It's just that it is like a magic sound in the emperor's ears.
Was she forcing him?
The Emperor unconsciously took a deep breath.
"Father." In the dead silence, another person spoke, and there was a faint urgency in his voice.
The Emperor slowly turned his face away.
Chu Yanzhi hurriedly raised his hand and saluted the emperor, his eyebrows were tightly twisted, and his face was extremely solemn, "Father, as soon as the incident happened, Erchen had already faintly felt that the person who planned to assassinate him this time was coming to Erchen!" And everything that just happened confirmed Erchen's conjecture! Father, the son-in-law implores you to return the son-in-law's innocence. Chu Yanzhi said, leaned over and made a big salute to the emperor.
"Prince, now it's just confirmed that Uncle Ping'an lied, and it has nothing to do with you, you can't wait to jump out and let the emperor return your innocence, isn't it...... Too anxious? Concubine Yan's eyes flashed and looked at Chu Yanzhi.
"If you follow what the concubine said, you really have to wait until you have something to do with the palace, I'm afraid it just happens to be your intention!" Chu Yanzhi raised his head, his dark eyes met Concubine Yan's gaze, and said coldly.
"Oh? Could it be that the crown prince knows what is most flattering to this palace? The corners of Yan Guifei's lips curled, and a shallow smile bloomed.
Seeing that Chu Yanzhi was being pressed by Concubine Yan step by step, and there was no way out, although Li Po knew that he was unable to protect himself at the moment, he still kowtowed after all, "Your Majesty, this matter is full of suspicions, although it seems to be related to the prince, but the prince has never said from beginning to end that this is instructed by the prince, and Lord Chang, my father also seems to be in the dark, and I ask Your Majesty to investigate." ”
At present, it is obviously impossible to push all this onto King Qin, so the only thing they can do is to take the crown prince out. As long as the prince does not fall, then there is still a glimmer of hope for the Li family!
Lipper's words woke up the dreamer.
Chang Lu, who was originally kneeling next to him and didn't dare to make a sound, suddenly came to his senses, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, even Weichen has been kept in the dark about this matter, let alone His Royal Highness the Prince?" Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate, investigate! Chang Lu said that, and hurriedly fell to the ground.
At this time, Ping Anbo, who had fainted, also woke up faintly.
He only heard the words of Li Po and Chang Lu, and he already knew that this fire had burned to the prince's head, and if he wanted to fight for the vitality of the Ping'an Mansion, he could only ...... The sacrifice is like a cypress.
Thinking of this, Ping An Bo only felt a throbbing pain in his heart one after another, but when things came to this point, it was up to him to choose.
"Evil animal, you...... You still don't tell the truth! Ping An Bo's eyes were red, and he raised his hand and patted Zhu Rubai's head heavily.
"Daddy......" Although Zhu Rubai is not as shrewd as Lu Haiyang, he is not stupid in the end, how can he not know that he is already in calamity at this moment, when he saw that Uncle Ping'an woke up, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes, crying and shouting while pulling, "Dad, you save me...... You save me, I don't want to die...... I don't want to die! ”
"Evil beasts! Evil beasts! Zhu Rubai looked at his son who fell to the ground and pulled him, and the muddy tears kept flowing out.
"Shizi, you planned the assassination with all your might, did the prince know about it?" Li Po couldn't care about Zhu Rupo's panic at the moment, he just wanted to hear the answer he wanted from his mouth.
But Zhu Rubai didn't seem to hear it, he kept pulling the hem of Ping'anbo's clothes, staring at people with a thirsty face, and kept repeating in his mouth, "Dad, help me...... Help me......"
"Bastard! You still don't say it! Why do you do such a rebellious thing? In this situation, although Ping'an Bo has the heart to lick the calf, but the current situation still allows him to do this, he had to harden his heart, slapped Zhu Rubai hard, and then forcefully broke his hand that was dragging the hem of his clothes.
Why didn't he want to save him? He just can't save it......
He really can't save ......
"Daddy...... Daddy ......" Looking at the empty palms, Zhu Rubai raised his head with difficulty to look at Uncle Ping'an, but he only saw full of despair in his eyes.
It's true......
Is it really not saved......
"Shizi! Your Majesty is still waiting for your answer. Li Po finally couldn't hold it back, and pulled Zhu Rubai's arm hard, forcing him to look at himself.
In his opinion, since Zhu Rubai did such a stupid thing, he was innocent, and what was even more hateful was that he also involved a lot of people, and even affected the prince! Such a person is superfluous to live! The only thing he can make up for now is to stand up and clear the suspicion for the prince!
There was a sharp pain in his arm, and the hidden anger in Li Po's eyes completely extinguished Zhu Rubai's last bit of hope for survival......
One by one, they wanted to cut him with a thousand knives, how could they save him.
No one will save him.
Even his own father had abandoned him, and he could count on anyone else to save him.
"You are to blame for all this, do you still want everyone to bury you?" Li Po attached himself to Zhu Rubai's ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Yes...... It's me...... Everything is on my own. Zhu Rubai closed his eyes in despair, "I want to show my face in front of the prince, I want to press Haiyang...... That's why I'm confused for a while......"
Compared with Lu Haiyang and Gu Cheng, he is completely just a dispensable person next to the prince, but it is clear that his status is higher than all of them, but the prince trusts them more than him! If not, how could he have listened to the counsellor's provocation......
By now, it's too late.
"Just because you want to show your face in front of the prince, you dare to plan an assassination and rebellion? This reason seems to be insufficient...... Besides, that's just your words. Concubine Yan looked down at Zhu Rubai condescendingly and said coldly.
"Aren't these suspicions of the concubine Niangniang one-sided? Besides, in today's events, there are many suspicious points with all eyes, but the noble concubine doesn't seem to see these suspicious points at all, but she is bent on confirming that this assassination was planned by this palace? Is there any meaning in this? ”
Listening to Chu Yanzhi's words, Concubine Yan Guifei smiled lightly, "What can this palace have, this palace is just worried about the emperor's safety." As for the murderer who planned the assassination behind the scenes......" Yan Guifei said, suddenly turning around and blessing the emperor, "The concubine believes that Your Majesty has his own decision. ”
Chu Yanzhi looked at the emperor who had not spoken on the throne.
The emperor's temples on the throne have been dyed with a little frost at some point, and the corners of his eyes have quietly climbed into the lines of discord, all of which no longer remind everyone that this monarch above the ten thousand people is already dying, but the eyes that are no longer sharp and compelling have revealed a gloomy tone that makes people feel cold.
The second he touched the emperor's eyes, Chu Yanzhi's heart suddenly felt cold.
After all, he still underestimated Concubine Yan.
In fact, the most subtle thing about this game is not that she pulled him into the game, but the best thing is that she calculated the mind of the person on the throne.
An old man who is afraid of his son with plump wings.
Perhaps, he has already seen clearly that this is Yan Guifeibu's bureau, but so what, he needs this bureau, he needs to use this bureau to cut off his right-hand man and hit his prestige in the court, even more...... He may also be one of the people behind this chess.
Thinking of this, Chu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Touching Chu Yanzhi's cold gaze, the emperor's gloomy eyes narrowed, but this time, he did not back down.
"I ......"
"Father!" Suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded and interrupted the emperor's voice. Chu Yanzhi raised his eyes and stared at the emperor on the throne, his eyes were as cold as a frozen lake for ten thousand years, only to see him raise his right hand, and the cold voice sounded word by word in the empty hall, "Erchen swears in the name of his biological mother Li Guifei, this matter has nothing to do with Erchen, if Erchen's words are half-false, let Erchen's biological mother be restless day and night under the Yellow Spring!" ”
"Bastard!" As soon as Chu Yanzhi's words were finished, the green tendons on the emperor's head burst out, he slapped the table and stood up suddenly, his eyes quickly swelled with a crimson red, "You, you dare to curse your mother's concubine!" You rebel! The emperor stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Yanzhi, his voice sharp and harsh.
In the face of the emperor's anger, there was a depressed silence in the hall, and even the corners of Yan Guifei's eyes jumped unconsciously, but Chu Yanzhi, who was standing in the center of the hall, didn't seem to be affected at all, and even the curvature of the corners of his mouth didn't change.
"If the mother concubine really knows that someone has framed her son like this, even if I don't gamble, does my father think she can feel at ease?" Chu Yanzhi stared coldly at the emperor and said word by word.
The emperor was shocked, and his body couldn't help but feel staggered, "You...... You ......"
Chu Yanzhi silently retracted his gaze, raised his hand to lift the corner of his clothes, and knelt down, "Please ask my father to investigate this matter thoroughly, and give justice to his sons, so as to comfort the spirit of the mother and concubine in the sky!" ”
As if sensing that this was a turning point, Ping An Bo, Chang Lu, Gu An, Li Qingfeng, and Li Po were all busy following behind Chu Yan and said to the emperor in unison, "Please ask the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter and return the innocence of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
In fact, after the emperor established Chu Yanzhi as the crown prince, he immediately posthumously crowned the prince's biological mother, Concubine Li, as a concubine. Later, there were faint rumors in the capital, saying that the emperor had a deep love for the late Concubine Li, whether it was the former prince or the king of Yan, it was just a stepping stone to the crown prince's ascendancy. Therefore, as soon as Chu Yanzhi's words came out, the hall was instantly silent, and everyone waited with bated breath, secretly looking at the father and son facing each other in the hall. And Chu Muzhi, who knew the inside story of this, only felt that his chest was faintly hot, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Yan Guifei in the hall, but saw Yan Guifei standing quietly beside the emperor in a gorgeous dress, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, and he did not feel a trace of emotion because of Chu Yanzhi's words. Seeing that she was so calm, Chu Muzhi gradually calmed down.
After a long period of silence, the emperor's eyes on the throne lit up several times, and finally, he spoke.
Yan Guifei's phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth carried a bit of imperceptible sarcasm.
After all, for Chu Lian, the most important thing is only himself, and the power he holds in his hands that is not touchable, even the so-called woman he loves the most cannot be compared......
This is the emperor!
