Chapter 2: Regret
After walking far away, Chu Minghui could still hear irrepressible cries and shouts coming from the room.
It turns out that no matter how noble a person is, the fear he feels when facing death is the same as that of ordinary people, he stayed at the bottom of the corridor for a moment, and then left expressionlessly, and did not look back.
Walking out of King Lu's courtyard, Chu Minghui saw that his two younger brothers were waiting outside, with worries on their faces.
Unlike when he faced King Lu, facing his younger brothers, he showed a real smile on his face and walked towards them quickly: "Why are you here?" Didn't I say it, you don't have to worry about things here, I'll decide. ”
Chu Mingying is reticent by nature, and with a mother like Princess Lu, there are fewer and fewer words, and he will never speak unless necessary, and he is still just silent at this time.
Or Chu Mingsheng called out to his eldest brother, and hesitantly looked past him to the house, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, how is it?" ”
Still vaguely able to hear the voice coming from inside, Chu Minghui paused, and said: "Let's go, talk while walking, it's nothing, don't be too nervous." ”
In fact, how can you not be nervous? Chu Mingsheng was so frightened that his throat was dry and itchy, and he coughed before he said, "We just saw the honor guard of the imperial grandfather."
Emperor Yongchang came out and did not put up a guard of honor, after all, he gave his son to death, and he couldn't let people come to see it with great fanfare.
The honor guard they are talking about is actually the escort of Emperor Yongchang.
Chu Minghui knew that his younger brothers were nervous, so he didn't say much, but just pulled them out of the way for a while, and when they arrived at their courtyard, he nodded and motioned for them to sit down.
and sent away all those who were serving.
Then he said: "In the future, we don't have to be afraid, he can't make waves anymore." ”
Who he is referring to, the brothers know.
Chu Mingsheng clenched his fists nervously, as if he was a little dazed.
Chu Mingying, who had never spoken, looked at the wooden boat on the bookshelf, and then asked calmly, "Brother, will it implicate you?" Will this incident implicate you? ”
Chu Minghui shook his head affirmatively, he decided to inform Cui Minglou of King Lu's plan because he sensed the huge risk here.
King Lu, who has always been unscrupulous in doing things, is selfish to the extreme, after he did bad things, he wanted to take his chief guard and the group of guards directly to Jizhou without any burden, and he didn't consider how many sons he still had in the capital from beginning to end.
Of course, he quibbled that the more he didn't know anything, the more he was protecting them.
But if you use this to deceive people who don't know him, it's just perfunctory to use it to coax Chu Minghui.
He watched the smoke drift out of the incense burner little by little, came back to his senses, and said softly: "Anyway, we don't have to worry anymore from now on, the emperor's grandfather has made it clear that he will let me inherit the title and stay in the capital in the future." I haven't gotten married yet, and you're just children, so we'll all stay in the capital in the future, and we'll have a good life in the future. ”
Life could not have been much better than when King Lu, who had no idea when he was going to brush his beard.
Seeing him say this, Chu Mingying and Chu Mingsheng also breathed a sigh of relief, since his brother said so, he naturally had the confidence to say so.
They have not been close to King Lu since they were children, and when they grow up, they are ignored and used by Princess Lu or King Lu in turn, such parents, they don't have much affection.
It was this time that Chu Minghui betrayed King Lu, not because he wanted to avenge Princess Lu, but because King Lu was so stupid that he would assassinate Cui Minglou with a sword.
Once he succeeds, of course he can go away and go to Jizhou.
If Emperor Yongchang wants to move him, he will have to go through a while.
But what about their sons who stayed in the capital?
They have never been cared for by King Lu, so why should they bear these unwarranted disasters brought by King Lu?
The brothers got together, you look at me, I look at you, the expressions on their faces were a little cold, and they really couldn't raise any respect and emotion for this father.
If the elder brother is really in charge of the house in the future, it will be a great thing for them, the elder brother is much more reliable than the father, although he is small, but he thinks about them in everything.
Chu Minghui also saw that his younger brothers were in a bad mood, so he smiled and waved his hand: "That's it, you all go and rest, don't think too much, the emperor's grandfather is the holy lord who knows right from wrong, who is right and wrong, he knows better than anyone else." ”
As soon as they said this, the huge worry in Chu Mingsheng and Chu Mingying's hearts slowly relaxed, and both of them saluted their brother and retreated. Chu Minghui stood alone outside King Lu's courtyard, listening to the movement inside, from King Lu's shouting and crying at the beginning, and then gradually falling silent, he has always stood silent.
Until Gonggong Shi came out.
When Gonggong Shi saw Chu Minghui, his face was still a little embarrassed for a while, after all, he personally sent King Lu on the road, and Chu Minghui was also King Lu's biological son, although he himself ran to Emperor Yongchang to report King Lu, but blood and family affection are generally difficult to completely put aside, isn't it?
He coughed, "Shizi."
Chu Minghui understood Gonggong Shi's mood, so he smiled politely at him: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about things here for a while, Gonggong Shi can do it himself." ”
Gonggong Shi didn't know what he was thinking, but he gave King Lu to death, and he couldn't stay in King Lu's Mansion to wait for the reward of King Lu's Mansion, so he said with a smile: "It's not too early, the matter here, Jinyi Wei will deal with it, and the prince should go back and rest first." ”
Chu Minghui responded quietly, and this time he really left.
Gonggong Shi looked at his back and sighed lightly: "The son of the world is really young and old, it's a pity." ”
If King Lu does not die, he may not be able to maintain his wealth forever by relying on his sons, so why do he have to offend his wife and sons with great ambition?
But this matter is not his business, he coughed, turned to look at the people below: "It's all clean, Ming'er will hang the white lantern out and ring the death knell, you know?" ”
When the prince dies, the death knell is to be struck five times.
The next morning, when the death knell sounded, everyone was in shock.
In the mansion of the Marquis of Changyong, the third mother-in-law was originally talking and laughing with the girl, but when she heard this voice, she changed her face and asked, "What's the matter, what is it?"
Which prince is this death knell?!
Not only was she panicking, but most of the people in Beijing were panicking and didn't know what was going on.
