Chapter 096: The Emperor's Heart

The air around them was a little silent.

Almost everyone understood what Shen Che meant by this. If abdicating to make way for Xian is to gain an inch, that is to say, Shen Che is unwilling to give up the supreme position that he has already obtained for the sake of Lu Yingquan and the eldest prince.

It was expected, but I don't know why, Yun Yao was still a little chilled when she heard this answer.

For Lu Yingquan's heart.

On the other hand, Lu Yingquan at this time was calm and unspeakable, and the smile on his face was even brighter than just now, as if Shen Che's decision was irrelevant to her.

"It is said that Lao Qi is a seed of infatuation, for the seventh brother and sister to dismiss the harem, the beauty of the three thousand left her alone, and even his own cousin did not hesitate to send her to Ning Palace as a hostage, and did not want the seventh brother and sister to be hurt at all. But when I saw it today, it shows that the rumors are not credible, if Lao Qi is really infatuated, how can he refuse to give up this thing for his wife and children?" Shen Chi seemed to have expected Shen Che's reaction, even when he said so.

Is the Supreme Emperor something outside the body?

Hearing this, everyone felt that this Shen Chi really had no brains, not to mention that Shen Che had been planning for the throne for so many years, just saying that he had firmly controlled the throne now, how could he give up because of Shen Chi's words?

"Fifth Brother really wants this throne?" Shen Che did not follow Shen Chi's words, but asked rhetorically, but the air pressure around him was getting lower and lower, showing his anger.

"The throne, who doesn't want it? Shen Chi was unimpressed by Shen Che's anger.

"Fifth brother, I gave you a chance. Shen Che's eyes lit up and he whispered.

The moment the words fell, he didn't know where Shen Che took out a bow and arrow and aimed it at Shen Chi and shot it directly.

Shen Chi's reaction was obviously not slow, and when he saw the arrows flying towards him, he immediately took a few steps back, stood behind a row of guards, and exposed Lu Yingquan and her hostage guards in front of the arrows with his backhand.

And Shen Che's movements were faster, and the second arrow was shot, which was faster than the first arrow, and he actually chased after the first arrow, hitting the arrow in front of him with skill, forcing the first arrow to change direction halfway and shoot towards the guards holding Lu Yingquan hostage.

With a snort, the arrow went into the flesh and hit the throat of the guard, and the blood flowed sideways, dripping on Lu Yingquan's body, shocking.

The second arrow, which was also blocked by the first arrow, lost its strength and fell to the ground with a clatter.

said that it was too late, and at the moment when this change happened, Gu Chen and Gu Yan acted separately, one of them pulled Lu Yingquan out of the hands of the dead guards to protect him, and the other turned around and attacked Princess Rui who was holding the child.

When Queen Rui retreated just now, he only thought about protecting himself, but he didn't think about protecting Princess Rui.

Because of this, his full battle was disrupted by Shen Che's sudden arrows, but the situation was reversed in an instant, Lu Yingquan and the eldest prince were rescued safely, and even Princess Rui fell into Shen Che's hands.

This was the first time Yun Yao had seen Shen Che make a move with her own eyes.

She vaguely remembered that Gu Qingming had mentioned that Shen Che's martial arts were not much worse than him, but she had never seen Shen Che take action in person, but now that she saw it, even if she was a person who didn't understand martial arts, she couldn't help but sigh, how precise the calculation of the two arrows just now, how accurate the strength, and what a tricky angle to be able to do this?

But no matter what, Lu Yingquan and the child are finally safe and sound.

As soon as Yun Yao put her mind at ease, she looked at Lu Yingquan beside Gu Chen, but just that glance made her stunned-

Lu Yingquan, who was wearing a cherry pink dress, stood there in a daze, and she didn't know if she was too frightened or what, her face was extremely pale, and her eyes became hollow, and she was no longer as bright as before.

The blood of the personally killed guard still fell on her neck and clothes in dots, but she seemed to be a puppet, unable to hear or see, and let Gu Chen pull her to the palace.

Yun Yao chuckled in her heart, but after a moment's effort, she already understood Lu Yingquan's thoughts.

It stands to reason that Lu Yingquan has just been promoted to a mother, and her child has been in the hands of the enemy for so long, and now she has to care about her child no matter how she escapes, but now she is stunned, I am afraid that she is really chilled by Shen Che's behavior.

If Shen Che was unwilling to exchange the throne for her and the child, she could still understand it, but later Shen Che's two arrows made all the expectations in Lu Yingquan's heart come to naught?

Don't...... Isn't he afraid that those two arrows will accidentally hurt her? Or, isn't he afraid that Shen Chigou will jump over the wall in a hurry and let the guards kill her directly?

How could he be sure that he would be foolproof, and why would he dare to take such a risk with her and the child?

Although everything was now going according to Shen Che and Gu Qingming's arrangements in advance, Lu Yingquan was indeed hurt by Shen Che's actions.

She knew that in his heart, he could remarry if his wife was gone, and he could regenerate if his son was gone, but the throne in his hands would not be handed over to anyone no matter what.

Seeing that Gu Chen brought Lu Yingquan and the eldest prince into the palace gate, Yun Yao didn't say much, turned around and hurriedly ran down the city tower, and met Lu Yingquan who had just come in at the palace gate.

It wasn't until she saw Yun Yao that a glimmer of light flashed in Lu Yingquan's eyes, she broke free of Gu Chen, took a few steps forward, and regardless of her image, she threw herself directly on Yun Yao's body, and cried bitterly.

"Yun Yao...... I thought I'd never see you again......"

"Wow-"

Before Yun Yao could speak, she was interrupted by a loud baby cry. Perhaps because of the heart-to-heart relationship between mother and son, as soon as Lu Yingquan cried, the originally well-behaved and sensible prince also cried in Gu Yan's arms.

Gu Yan's handsome face suddenly turned blue, he had never held a child, just now he had to act in order to save His Royal Highness, he didn't know where to put his hand at this time, but now that His Royal Highness was crying, Gu Yan was even more in a hurry.

The baby's cry also woke up Lu Yingquan's senses, she thought of her child, so she hurried over to hug her, but maybe because the smell of blood on her body made the baby uncomfortable, the eldest prince's cry was even louder than before.

"Let me do it. Yun Yao sighed, took the eldest prince from Gu Yan's hand, held the child's little buttocks with the other hand, and gently coaxed it.

Perhaps the coaxing posture was in place, the eldest prince's crying gradually became smaller, and he slowly stopped crying, only sobbing and shrinking into Yun Yao's arms, looking at the stranger in front of him with a pair of moist eyes.

"Bamboo branches, chrysanthemum leaves, you hold the mother. Yun Yao turned her head to the two girls behind her and commanded.

When the two heard this, they immediately stepped forward, helped Lu Yingquan left and right, and walked cautiously towards the Hehuan Palace. They just followed Yun Yao to greet the queen before, but they didn't expect to see such a thrilling scene, and the two girls still have palpitations.

After entering the palace, there was no danger, but Gu Chen and Gu Yan still dutifully escorted Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao, until the two of them took the palace maid through the triple palace gate, walked through the imperial garden, entered the inner palace from the outer palace, and arrived at the gate of the Hehuan Palace, they breathed a sigh of relief, left tacitly, and went to return to Gu Qingming.

After all, His Royal Highness King Rui also brought more than 200 personal soldiers, which is also a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

And after Yun Yao returned to the Hehuan Hall with Lu Yingquan, he directly ordered: "Ju Ye, you go and ask the kitchen to bring the boiled water, Niangniang wants to bathe, by the way, let the people in the small kitchen make some food, and use it when Niangniang finishes bathing." Zhuzhi, you take the eldest prince to the inner room, let the nurse feed and then put to sleep, and you will take care of it there. ”

"Yes, Miss Cloud. The two girls answered, and immediately went to work.

"How can there be a nurse in the Hehuan Palace?" Although Lu Yingquan was shocked, he also heard that something was wrong with Yun Yao's words, so he asked.

"I'll tell you when you're in the shower. Yun Yao said, with a hint of uneasiness in her heart.

Ju Ye's movements were very fast, the bath bucket in the clean room had already been prepared, and even the clothes that Lu Yingquan was wearing were put aside, these were prepared by Shen Che a few days ago, and it seemed that Lu Yingquan would move in soon.

The Hehuan Hall was originally the residence of the queens of Daning dynasties, Lu Yingquan was the queen of Yi, and after Shen Che ascended the throne, she became the queen, and it was understandable to live in the Hehuan Palace, so Shen Che prepared in advance, which can be regarded as a heart.

If it weren't for today's Chaoyangmen incident, I'm afraid that Yingquan would be moved to tears now.

Under Yun Yao's service, Lu Yingquan took off his blood-stained clothes, stepped into the bathtub with one foot, and squatted down, as if he wanted to isolate the dust and dust from the water.

"Yun Yao, I see that your face is a little gloomy, what happened? Just tell me the truth. Lu Yingquan soaked in the bucket, although his back was facing Yun Yao, but the back of his head seemed to have eyes, and he could see Yun Yao's expression clearly.

"Yingquan, I wanted you to have a good rest before I told you. Yun Yao looked at him left and right.

"I know you're worried about me, but you also saw what happened in Chaoyangmen today, Your Highness...... No, it's time to call Your Majesty. Your Majesty, he has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in his heart, and I don't understand the root cause, and I have even experienced such a life-and-death thing, and now what is so terrible? Just say it, I can stand it. ”

In the face of Lu Yingquan's repeated insistence, Yun Yao was defeated, she no longer concealed it, and told everything about the second prince in this palace.

"Don't you want to know why there is a nurse in the Hehuan Palace? That's because the second prince needs to be fed, and when he recruited a nurse, the emperor also chose one for the eldest prince who didn't come back. Yun Yao wanted to try her best to untie Lu Yingquan's heart knot, so she followed Shen Che's kind words and said, "The reason why Your Majesty asked me to live in the Hehuan Hall in advance is to decorate the Hehuan Hall to your liking. The things used by Empress Rong in the past have been changed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and even the clothes that Juye found for you were personally instructed by His Majesty to let me keep an eye on the people of the Shangyi Bureau......"

"You don't have to say nice things for him, really. Lu Yingquan interrupted Yun Yao's words, "Maybe when I was in Yiguo in the past, I still had some illusions, thinking that he was so good to me, even if he ascended the throne in the future, it would be nothing to me." But today I can really understand how unfathomable the emperor's mind is. ”
