Chapter 252: Rain Curtain Imperial City

Hearing the sound, Chu Xizhi turned his face, but he didn't look at Concubine Shen, but his slender eyes looked at the emperor who was somewhat similar to himself, "Father, don't come unharmed." ”

Father's ......

Hearing this title, the emperor felt mixed feelings, joy, guilt, and discomfort...... At this moment, the emperor didn't know what face he should face this son who was abandoned by him.

"Doesn't my father have anything to say to his son?" Seeing that the emperor was silent, the corners of Chu Xizhi's mouth tugged, and his deep eyes were like a bottomless pool of water, which really made people unable to guess his thoughts.

"Sorry, I ...... I really can't stand you......" The emperor furrowed his brows, and only after a while did he spit out such a sentence from his mouth with difficulty.

The emperor is the emperor after all, even if he is like a lost dog now, but in the end he was the emperor of the emperor, and it is indeed not easy to let this apology come out of his mouth. However, when Chu Xizhi heard this, his face did not fluctuate for a moment, and even his expression was a little colder than just now.

"Father, what my son wants is not an innocuous apology from you."

The emperor didn't expect Chu Xizhi to refute his words without any face, for a while, his face became extremely ugly, but the situation at this time did not allow him to take out the majesty of the emperor, you must know that the prince is imminent to force the palace, and his only hope now is the son in front of him who was abandoned by him, in the final analysis, he was sorry for him first, and now he should accept a few cold words from him.

"What do you want me to do?" The emperor pursed the corners of his mouth vigorously, took a deep breath, and looked straight at Chu Xizhi with dark eyes.

"Father, isn't the son of the emperor asking you to do something? But at this moment, you have to make a choice! Chu Xizhi stared at the emperor word by word.

The emperor stared at Chu Xizhi, and suddenly, his eyebrows twitched suddenly, and a terrible thought crossed his mind......

"It's you!"

Today's change is sudden, how could he suddenly appear here? The only possibility is that he had already expected today's changes, and even he contributed to today's changes! If this is the case, then Concubine Xiang's death cannot be as simple as it seems, or ......

The prince didn't do anything in the pill at all! The one who really did it was him!

Thinking of this possibility, the emperor looked at Chu Xizhi's eyes and almost wanted to breathe fire, and the hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched into a fist.

"Yes, it's me." Chu Xizhi looked at the emperor, and the corners of his mouth pulled slightly.

Chu Xizhi never thought that he could hide this from the emperor, after all, his father, the emperor can sit firmly in the country for decades, and he is not a person who can be easily fooled, but at this moment, even if he knows all this, he can't change anything, so he admitted it without hesitation.

"You! You! The emperor stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Xizhi, his eyes widened, and he couldn't stop trembling.

It's him! It turned out to be him!

He really underestimated him! When did this son who was brought out by him have such a deep city! He couldn't believe it!

"Father, it doesn't matter whether the pill can kill people or not, the important thing is that His Royal Highness the Prince, who you did not hesitate to sacrifice everything to pave the way for it, did not hesitate to raise troops to force the palace the moment he learned that Concubine Xiang was dead! That's the most important thing, isn't it? Chu Xizhi looked at the emperor, still with a faint smile on his face, but the words he said were like a basin of ice water, which made the emperor's originally resentful heart cool down.

He's right, even if it's all secretly manipulated by him? After all, the son who was picked up by him wanted to force the palace to kill his father......

Thinking of this, the emperor fell back into his chair in a dejected manner.

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Shichang on the side called out worriedly.

The emperor closed his eyes tiredly, perhaps, he was really old......

After a long time, the Twilight Emperor who had fallen on his chair finally spoke faintly, "What else do you need me to do?" ”

Now, how can he have a choice?

In his life, he played with power and calculated people's hearts, but he didn't think that in the end he was planted in the hands of his two sons, could it be that this is the so-called retribution?

"Your Majesty still doesn't understand, in the eyes of the world, 'King Yan' is dead, if you want to quell this palace change, Your Majesty still needs to return King Yan a name!"

Hearing this, Concubine Shen already understood the reason why King Yan appeared here at this time.

No wonder Yan Guifei has been standing still, it turns out that she has been waiting, waiting for the emperor to come to the door by himself.

King Yan must have planned to die for so long, and his strength is only afraid that he has already overpowered the prince, but if he wants to return to the capital as King Yan and replace the prince, and be recognized by the world, then there must be an edict from the emperor himself.

Listening to Concubine Shen's words, the emperor's eyes gradually focused, and finally converged into a point and fell on Chu Xizhi's body.

Leaving Beijing, faking death, returning to Beijing, and appearing here at this moment, every move he made was extremely accurate, and the funny thing was that he thought that this son had never been under his control, but he didn't know that he had become a pawn on his chessboard, perhaps, he had never seen this son clearly.

"Could it be that Your Majesty is still hoping that the Prince's mercy will spare Your Majesty's life at this moment?" Seeing that the emperor didn't snort, Concubine Shen couldn't help but say sarcastically.

The emperor didn't pay attention to Concubine Shen's sarcasm, he looked at the son in front of him who looked a little like himself, and for some reason suddenly thought of Chu Xizhi when he was a child, it turned out that in a blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and the little boy who was coquettish in front of his knees has grown into such a magnificent young man. The emperor lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips bloomed with a somewhat dejected smile, that's it, that's it, he is old after all, and it is unknown how long he can live, even if he is like this, he still cares about what to do, besides, take 10,000 steps back and say, he is still his son after all, it is his Chu Lian's blood and bones, that is, what is wrong with the country being handed over to him?

"Zhang Shichang, bring my jade seal." The Emperor suddenly spoke.

"Yes." Zhang Shichang responded, and then carefully took out the jade seal hidden in his sleeve.

The emperor raised his eyes to look at the jade seal that had been with him for decades, and after a moment, he withdrew his gaze and waved his hand at Zhang Shichang, "Give it to King Yan." ”

"The minions obey." Zhang Shichang saluted the emperor, then held the jade seal in both hands and handed it to Chu Xizhi, "His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

Chu Xizhi lightly hooked the corners of his lips, and then reached out to take the jade seal from Zhang Shichang's hand, and at the end, he raised his feet and walked up to the emperor and saluted him, saying, "Son-in-law Xie Father Emperor Chengcheng." ”

The emperor closed his eyes, he took a breath, and then he said to Chu again, "What are you going to do to him?" ”

"Him?" Chu Xizhi's sharp sword eyebrows were lightly raised, and the corners of his lips hooked up a meaningful smile, "What does my father want to let his sons suppress such a rebellion?" Still don't want to? ”

The emperor was stunned, "Regret it, I ...... it"

"Erchen knows that the crown prince is the son that his father values the most. Father and emperor rest assured, whatever the son says will not hurt him at all. The corners of Chu Xizhi's lips hooked coldly.

That's not what I meant......

Before he could say this, the emperor saw a purple sleeve in his eyes fly by, bringing a gust of cold wind, and when he came back to his senses, there was no longer that figure in the room.

The corners of Concubine Shen's mouth, who were betting on all this, hooked up a sneer, and her slender phoenix eyes crossed the emperor coldly, "Your Majesty is really kind to the prince, but I don't know if the prince will repay the same kindness to Your Majesty?" Speaking of this, Shen Guifei smiled again, she looked at Yan Guifei with side eyes, her eyes flowed, and said, "Sister, what did you say?" ”

Concubine Yan raised her eyes and only glanced at the emperor lightly, but this glance contained unprecedented disappointment......

Even at this time, he still had the woman's son in mind......

What is she, then her affection, in his eyes?

Actually, she should have understood a long time ago, but she was still unwilling in the end......

Concubine Shen looked at Concubine Yan's expression at this time, and knew that she must have been dead to the emperor at this moment, because many years ago, she also showed the same expression as her.

In this deep palace, even the deepest affection will eventually be wiped out by these conspiracies......

In the middle of the night, there were not a few lights in the imperial city, and it was pitch black all around, only the endless raindrops kept falling......

And at this moment, in front of the East Palace, Chu Xizhi was wearing armor, a long sword at his waist, and combat boots, riding on a half-human-high war horse, and his deep eyes did not know where to look through the rain curtain.

Just two hours after learning that Concubine Xiang was poisoned by taking pills and died, Chu Yanzhi quickly took control of the major gates of the capital, although the nearest Shence camp to the capital would not come to the rescue, but he was not guarding against the number of chapters but Chu Xizhi! Although most of the troops were consumed, as long as Xiang Mingxuan cooperated, it would be easy to control the imperial city with the remaining men and horses in his hands.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, everything has been deployed according to your orders."

"Good!" A smile suddenly appeared on Chu Yanzhi's solemn face, he raised his hand, and the long sword on his waist was unsheathed, drawing a sharp arc in the air, "Everyone, please follow the palace to attack the imperial city!" ”

"Yes!" The uniform sound broke the calm of the rainy night.

When Chu Yanzhi brought the men and horses to the north gate according to the agreement, he saw Xiang Mingxuan leading a team of royal forest soldiers to stand at the door to greet him, he stepped forward and said to Xiang Mingxuan, "How is it?" What was the reaction in the palace? ”

Xiang Mingxuan smiled, "Two hours ago, the emperor sent Gonggong Zhang out of the palace to find the lower official, but unfortunately the lower official had already gone to His Royal Highness's appointment at that time, and then, His Majesty went to Yan Guifei's Yikun Palace with Gonggong Zhang, and until now, he still has not come out." ”

"Yan Guifei!" Chu Yanzhi raised his head and smiled coldly, "Isn't it that he still thinks that Chu Xizhi can save him!" ”

Even if Chu Xizhi has great ability, now that the capital is under his control, even if he has the help of Zheng Lin and Xiao Xiyang's troops, so what? In the eyes of the world, 'King Yan' is dead, he is just a rebel who pretends to be 'King Yan'! When the time comes, he will use this reason to serve the Zheng family and the Xiao family in one pot, and see who else dares to go against him in this Dayue now!

"Mingxuan, you did a good job, after the matter is completed, I will definitely not treat you badly!" Thinking that he was about to board the coveted dragon chair, Chu Yanzhi's gloomy face rarely floated a hearty smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiang Mingxuan bowed to Chu Yanzhi, and then turned sideways to get out of the way.

Looking at the undulating palace in the rain curtain through the city gate, for the first time, Chu Yanzhi felt extremely hearty in his heart.

This world is finally going to become his Chu Yanzhi!
