Chapter 141: The Dark Tide is surging
The expression on the second prince's face changed and changed, and finally he hugged his fists with a sad face.
"If my brother is ill today, I won't bother. When the matter of the queen mother is understood, my brother will bring your imperial sister-in-law to visit you in person to apologize. β
"Oh! The royal brother can't afford to say this. What is the crime of the royal brother??? β
The prince sneered and teased the man in front of him, feeling resentful. Her queen mother has just fallen, and these people who have been dormant in the dark for many years can no longer bear it and are ready to move.
If it weren't for the 'Holy Maiden' accompanying her, she would have saved the coffin of her mother. The emperor must be responsible for the crime of transporting the coffin of the four princes. And if he saw the queen's coffin burned and her body destroyed that day, he would definitely have a conflict with the four emperor brothers in anger.
According to the past temperament of the Emperor of Southern Chu, he valued the joy of the family house the most, and his brothers, friends and brothers, so that the two princes would be rejected in front of the Emperor of Southern Chu.
In this deep palace, although it is always said that the mother is more expensive than the son, but when it is really time to establish the prince and share the dragon pet, it is the son who is expensive by the mother, and the higher the status of her own mother, or the more she is favored by the emperor, then naturally the prince she gave birth to is more like a fish in water, which is the law of survival that the harem does not become eternal in ancient times.
And he is the same root as Chu Zexi's mother family, and he should work together in front of the 'foreign enemy', otherwise even if their mother family, the He family, is a century-old family, if they lose the position of prince, they will eventually drown in the long river of history, and even worse, they may be wiped out in the battle for the throne.
Therefore, he can't afford to lose, he has no queen mother, and he can't even lose the relatives of the queen mother. Anyone who shows his 'fangs' or hides in the shadows and poses a danger to him, he will pull them out one by one!
The crown prince was immersed in his own thoughts, and the unpredictable expression on his face made the second prince feel frightened.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, today's royal brother in this hall did not understand the truth, so he rashly invited his father, is it indeed for his brother."
"You have a lot of adults, so don't worry about being a brother, being a brother is also a reputation for the queen mother."
"For the sake of the sisterhood that the brother's mother has known and accompanied the queen for many years, I will forgive my brother this time, okay?"
This should be the first time that the second prince has been on the ground in front of people, in the past, he was obscure in front of Emperor Nanchu, and he stayed away from the government under the pretense of being intoxicated with poetry, the purpose was to paralyze the hostility of other princes to him, after all, who would care about a nerd who soaked in a teahouse and chanted poems with people all day long!?
But now this time he has completely exposed his ambition in front of the princes, and I am afraid that no one will see him as a student who wanders in the wind and has no desires in the future.
Therefore, he has to convince the prince that he is just an unintentional mistake, as long as he can convince the prince to believe, then everything will have a chance to turn around.
The prince didn't hear about his 'heart', but just looked at him fixedly without saying a word.
In this way, the second prince is even more bottomlessγγγγγγ
"Prince, you have to believe that you are a brother, and the mother and queen of your sons are handkerchiefs in the old mansion, and there is a deep sisterhood that no one can match in this entire palace."
"You must not γγγγγγγ"
"Alright." The crown prince suddenly spoke to stop the chattering second prince. Looking at the other party's sincere and frightened appearance, there was finally a trace of happiness in his heart, no matter what, his imperial brother was still afraid of him in his heart, and that was enough.
As for the lesson, now is not the time, after he sits firmly on the dragon chair, it is not too late to settle the account after the autumn, it is better to go down the ladder now, thinking of this, the corners of his mouth immediately raised an arc.
"Since the two emperor brothers have talked about this, it is inevitable that the brothers are too narrow-minded, so wait for the second emperor brother to visit another day."
The two brothers both bowed goodbye, and a scene of deference and harmony inevitably made the princes and ministers who passed by them look sideways, and the-for-tat confrontation above the court was like a big dream in their hearts.
And all this also fell in Chu Zexi's eyes, until the second prince walked away, he slowly came to the side of His Royal Highness the Prince, and lightly called the other party's honorific name to show respect, and the prince also bowed slightly in response
In the eyes of everyone, the two still remain indifferent and alienated, only they know in each other's hearts that this short brotherly cooperation proves that there is never an eternal enemy in this world, only hostility and alliance under the influence of interestsγγγγγγ
γγγγγγ
Different from the treacherous situation of the previous dynasty, there is also a person in the 'Shoukang Palace' who is pacing back and forth, and his heart is heavy. The jade inlaid with the dress and the sewn bells make a 'jingling' sound under the occasional impact. But Ouyang Qingying, who was sneaking in the ear room to study the books, couldn't calm down, and rushed out with the book in one hand
"Little sister, what is upsetting about you, why don't you say it and let the little brother give you a detailed reference?"
"No, no. I, I'm not arguing with you. Wan Yan Yingge was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the figure, and her face was full of surprise and guilt.
"Oh, since the young lady doesn't want to say it, then when my sister comes back, you can just listen to her." Ouyang Qing Ying saw that the other party was resistant, and thought that the other party might be taboo that he was a man after all, and the little daughter's family was not easy to entrust, so he no longer forced it, and lifted his front placket with one hand and turned around to leave, but there was a sound of obstruction in his ears.
"Wait, what's in your hands?"
Xiao Nizi's sharp eyes fell on the faintly visible cover inscription of the book, and she immediately had a plan. But his face was silent.
"It's just a book, just read it at will to relieve boredom." As he spoke, he unconsciously hid the book behind him.
"Script? But I clearly looked at the word Gu God written on itγγγγγγ Are you lying to me that I can't read? β
βemmmmγγγγγγβ Ouyang Qingying didn't expect the other party to give the title of the book in such a short period of time, and then remembered that this ancient book was very important to his sister, and he took care of him several times and could not leak it, he instantly lost his mind in his heart, and his mouth was blocked for a while.
Wan Yan Yingge guessed from his overwhelmed appearance.
"I know that you are jealous that I am a Phantom Gu Clan, seeing that you look so nervous, if I expected it to be correct, your original is the Gu God Compendium?"
As soon as the words fell, I only heard a "pop", and the book fell to the ground. It was the boy who lost his mind for a moment after being guessed, and the ancient book in his hand slipped down.
This time, although the boy picked up the ancient book as fast as he could, he could no longer hide that the book he was reading was the one in the woman's mouth.
"Little sister, I didn't mean to expire with you, it's just that this book is too valuable, and it is not my own."
"I'm only entrusted with finding out the mysteries that lie within. Don't annoy me, young lady!? β
Ouyang Qing Ying saw that the lie was exposed, and he was embarrassed to continue to hide it, so he admitted it calmly.
Unexpectedly, the other party turned his back and replied without caring at all.
"I won't annoy you, not only will I not annoy you, but please tell your sister, if she wants to know all the secrets of the compendium, she can come and ask me directly."
"What a secret, sister, it's better to tell Sister Yu now."
The woman's crisp voice suddenly broke into her ears, looking for prestige and looking for the entrance of the main hall, it was Xia Qingyi and Gong Yaoyuan who had returned from morning exercise, the two of them walked leisurely, one left and one right.
"Okay, please also ask my sister to retire from the idle people." Wan Yan Yingge's eyes lit up, and she just wanted to speak, but when she looked at the man next to her, she hesitated again.
Miscellaneous people!?
Gong Yaoyuan stared at the innocent big eyes and ignored them.
"Let's go, idle man, how can you be so blind?"
Ouyang Qingying would let a man play a scoundrel, stepped forward in three or two steps, and forcibly dragged Gong Yaoyuan to the outside of the hall.
"No, what kind of miscellaneous people, it's all a family, don't pull me, this son's clothes are precious."
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, my son will go by himself, what do you eat and how can you have so much strengthγγγγγ"
"Hey! Feed! Hey, do you hear me, stinky boy, you tap, tapγγγγγγ β
One big and one small were so noisy that they could still be heard from afar, and the two girls in the hall looked at each other and smiled, both of them laughing at each other.
"It's all gone, can you speak, you girl!"
"Sister, do you know that the Phantom Gu is the source of ten thousand Gu?" Wan Yan Yingge restrained her smile and asked very solemnly.
Xia Qingyi pondered for a moment before speaking.
"I've heard of it a little, but what does this have to do with the Gu God Compendium?"
"So, although you have taken the 'Lip Flower' liquid and read the first few pages, if you want to know the contents of these last pages."
"We can only go to the territory of our Phantom Gu's Valley of Forgotten Worries and find a 'Cloud Dream Stone', and only on the day of the full moon."
"This last mystery can only be revealed through the moonlight shining on the Yunmeng Stone."
Xiao Nizi had no reservations, and told everything she had heard and known in one breath, but in that sincere expression, somehow Xia Qingyi always had a sense of indescribability.
"My sister told my sister like this, and she didn't hide her secrets, but what else did she want?"
"My sister is really a cheerful person, my sister is asking for something, but my sister is not afraid, everything my sister thinks and thinks is for my sister's good."
Xia Qingyi looked at Yan Yingge deeply, and then spoke.
"My sister has talked about this, and my sister still has something to worry about, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Okay, there is only one thing my sister wants, if my sister decides to go to the Valley of Forgotten Worries to find the 'Cloud Dream Stone' to solve the last mystery."
"You must not go with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, my sister only has this one wish, and there is no other request, and I asked my sister to allow my sister."
"That's it!?" Xia Qingyi asked in disbelief.
"That's !!"
"Okay, I promise you!"
"I will go to the 'Valley of Forgotten Worries' for at least seven or eight days, the terrain in the valley is complicated, and I still need to find it for a few days, why don't my sister set off tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Need to be in such a hurry? β
"Yes, it's safer to leave early, if you miss it, you have to wait another month, it's a pity."
"But the queen hasn't been buried yet, and the emperor γγγγγγ!?"
"Over there in the saint, the sacrifice is needed, my sister will take care of it for my sister, everything is with me, my sister is at ease, go and clean it up!"
With the assurance that Yan Yingge was finished, Xia Qingyi bowed, turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
It's just that somehow I always have a bad premonition in my heartγγγγγγ
