Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 253
Originally holding the expectation of having the emperor's eldest grandson, the eldest prince and concubine looked at everyone with a smile a few days ago, and her eyes were high above the top, especially for those sisters-in-law who still had no movement in their stomachs.Unexpectedly, due to the sudden change that day, the child was not only lost, but someone even made a raft out of the stillborn child to verify that the child was not from the blood of the eldest prince.

At this moment, when he looked at the two kneeling in the center of the hall again, Chu Yu couldn't help thinking of a sentence Qu You once said, "The reason for a couple is to be married in the past three lives before being married to the couple in this life. Disagreements are more like enemies, so we are relative..."

It was clear that Chu Ming and Yuan Lin'er were not enemies in their usual relationship, and they had never complained to each other, but now that disaster is imminent, they are still separated!

"Your Highness..." After hearing Chu Ming's words, Hou Jinxiang seemed to be in disbelief, and his voice was full of tremors.

"This is the good daughter Master Hou taught!" There was a trace of resentment in Chu Ming's voice, and he played the role of being deceived to the essence.

Hearing this, the eldest concubine froze suddenly. Hearing the word "Hou Ye" come out of Chu Ming's mouth, for some reason, she felt a chill behind her back.

Seeing the cold look in his eyes, Yuan Lin'er suddenly felt that she had never really known her husband before.Yuan also knew that he was ruthless, but he didn't expect that he would be so ruthless!

Was he... warning and threatening her?

If she dared to tell the truth of the matter, would her surviving relatives also die because of it? !

Chu Ming...you really are so cruel!

"The crime of deceiving the emperor shall be punished with death!" Emperor Ming Hui's voice came faintly, but it shocked the entire hall!

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian, who was already horrified and unable to control herself, staggered off the phoenix seat when she heard Emperor Minghui's words. Just now the fact that the eldest prince concubine Hongxing had cheated on her was exposed in public. Can't stand it.Now she actually heard that His Majesty had executed her own son, how could she bear it!
"Father, think twice! This matter... the imperial brother must not know about this matter!" Seeing this, Chu Xian and Chu Lin also knelt down one after another, fearing that Emperor Ming Hui would really make a will and execute him immediately Chu Ming.

On the contrary, Chu Xu and Chu Yu sat there without any change in expression, as if no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with them.

With Marquis Jinxiang in his hands, Chu Ming was not afraid that Yuan Lin'er would betray him. What he was afraid of...was His Majesty's dislike for him.

"This matter... was done by the concubine alone, and it has nothing to do with His Highness!" Suddenly, when the First Prince and other ministers were explaining his plea to him, unexpectedly, the voice of the First Prince's Concubine sounded softly.

"Lin'er!" Hearing this, Jin Xianghou looked at his daughter in amazement as if he couldn't believe it no matter what.I don't understand how she could say such stupid things!
After all, Marquis Jinxiang is someone who has been in the officialdom for so many years, how could he easily believe the words of the eldest prince and concubine? He is very clear about the means of the eldest prince. How could Lin'er have such courage and ability? Do such a thing under his nose!

"Father! This matter... the son-in-law also has an unshirkable responsibility, but Lin'er must have been confused for a while, and she still hopes that the father will be merciful!" The voice of the eldest prince and concubine had just fallen, and the words of the eldest prince were almost the same as that of Jin Xianghou. while exporting.

But what was surprising was that he actually took the matter onto himself, and even pleaded for mercy for the eldest princess.As the saying goes, one day a husband and wife are a hundred days of kindness, and a hundred days a husband and wife are deeply in love. It seems that the eldest prince still has a heart for the prince and concubine.

Brother Chu Xu didn't believe the thoughts in everyone's hearts. For the eldest prince, such thoughts would never exist in his mind. The reason why he chose to intercede for the eldest princess was just to retreat !But thinking about it, he knew it in his heart, even if he pushed the matter to the eldest prince and concubine, but today's matter, the father had already remembered it in his heart.The crime of deceiving the emperor... how can a prince and concubine be able to be good by himself!

Just when everyone was waiting for Emperor Minghui's will, they saw the First Princess Concubine standing up suddenly, her eyes were firm and determined, and she directly slammed into the pillars in the hall, her head was bleeding instantly!
When the imperial physician hurried forward to check the situation, he was already out of breath and was killed on the spot!
"Lin'er!" Looking at the big living person who was kneeling there quietly just a second ago, he suddenly lay on the ground without breathing. Jin Xianghou rolled and crawled to the side of the eldest princess, But I couldn't help the old tears.

Now... God is going to kill him!
On the other hand, Chu Ming stared deeply at the body of the eldest concubine, but his eyes... were faintly flickering with water!

The fifth concubine was imprisoned by His Majesty for murdering the future grandson of the emperor, and now she suddenly discovered that the fetus was an evil species. Right now... the eldest concubine was directly bumped to death!

Today's confrontation can be said to be full of twists and turns, and the accidents happened one after another, making everyone overwhelmed to watch.

So right now... the First Prince and Concubine is dead, but I don't know how His Majesty will make a decision, will the First Prince be held accountable?

However, at this moment, Chu Ming didn't think about whether Emperor Minghui would blame him for this. Instead, he kept staring at the corpse of the first princess with a slightly concentrated gaze.

He never thought...she would die in such a form.

If she cried and begged himself to save her, or confessed herself, then even if she was bestowed to death by her father, he would not soften her heart in the slightest.But right now... She didn't say a word and just died, which rarely moved him to feel compassion.

Originally...the relationship between them was not like this. Although he married her for his own purpose from the very beginning, after so long, he has feelings for her, but this feeling is no match for his yearning for power !

So... Lin'er, don't blame me for being cruel and cold-hearted, everything... is due to fate!
Chu Yu looked at the scene in front of him with a cool expression. The road to succession is extremely dangerous, wind, knife, frost and sword cannot be avoided, but everyone who is in charge of the game is living in peace, or dies or dies. Those who were hurt... were all those who were slightly involved in this.

The tragedy of the eldest princess Yuan Liner was doomed from the moment the fifth emperor brother decided to take action, and how the eldest prince's party would respond in the end, he had only guessed a little at first, but he was not completely sure.

But the ending of the eldest princess... More or less, they expected it!

Even if it's not today, then one day in the future, Chu Ming will definitely do it!Maybe there will be a trace of guilt or intolerance in his heart, but what is certain is that even if there is, it is still no match for his yearning and pursuit of that dragon chair!
Therefore, he would rather give up his wife than protect himself, because only if he is alive can he have the opportunity to continue to fight.

In his heart, Yuan Lin'er was never his wife. The position she was in was the eldest concubine of the royal family of the Great Chu Kingdom, not Chu Ming's married wife!

This is the end of the matter, the youth is gone, and it is useless to talk too much.

The eldest prince and concubine died, and there was no need for others to explain the twists and turns. Hou Jinxiang should understand it in his heart. From now on... I am afraid that it will be difficult to be at peace with the eldest prince.

But thinking about it, Chu Ming didn't care about it, after all...the only thing that the Marquis of Jinxiang can rely on now is incense, disappearance, jade, and death!

All the people in the leaning forward hall looked at the scene in front of them with an air of breathlessness. No matter how they expected it, they did not guess that it would end like this.

The dead eldest concubine, the fainted concubine Xian, and... that young corpse on the ground!

Up to now, it is up to His Majesty how to make a decision, whether to order people to investigate the matter strictly, or to follow the words of the eldest prince and concubine and pass this matter on vaguely.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Emperor Ming Hui with deep thought in their eyes.

Your Majesty... how will he decide?
"The great prince and concubine deceived the emperor, and Hong Xing went out of the wall. Her crime is unforgivable. I think she died in fear of crime, so I won't let my family sit together!" Emperor Minghui looked at the woman who fell on the ground and Jinxiang beside him After a while, he continued, "The eldest prince is not good in marrying a wife, and the prince's mansion is full of twists and turns. Let's take a good rest in the mansion in the near future!"

After the words fell, Chu Ming accepted the order directly and thanked him without hesitation.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help feeling that His Majesty still had doubts, otherwise, Duan might not have grounded the eldest prince in disguise.

But in fact, this was already the lightest punishment for Chu Ming. After all, if it was the crime of deceiving the emperor, he might not have a place in the palace in the future.

It seemed that everything had come to an end here, but no one cared about that young corpse.In the end, it was Huang Tu who ordered the little eunuch to carry him out under Chu Xu's hint, without asking for Emperor Minghui's order in advance.

Looking at Emperor Ming Hui's extremely gloomy face, Chu Yu felt that Chu Ming's move was actually right. If Brother Wu Huang hadn't arranged for him to intervene in the middle, then the person being punished now would be It's Chu Qin!

Emperor Ming Hui's expectations for the eldest grandson of the emperor should be somewhat sincere, if not, he would not be so angry today.As an emperor, he will not be absolutely heartless.So now he tries to treat every prince as equal as possible. Only in this way can the power in the court be finally balanced.

Just like today, he could have directly questioned Chu Ming, but once Chu Ming collapsed, it meant that no one in the court could stand up to Chu Qin.Such a result was not what he wanted to see.

It would have been fine if Chu Ming could remain stable as the prince all the time, but his heart is not strong enough. Without a competitor, he would want to climb up, become the prince, and then...aspire to the throne!Therefore, Emperor Ming Hui would not come to this point. Before he had the intention to abdicate, such a situation must not be allowed to happen.Thinking about it, he couldn't help looking down at Brother Chu Xu.

"Your Majesty is tired, why don't you go back and rest earlier!" Suddenly, a soft voice sounded, making everyone look over subconsciously.

Concubine Lotus!

Hearing this, the emperor's face seemed to soften a little, and he slightly suppressed the anger around him before turning his head to look at the woman beside him.

"I am indeed a little tired, and all the nobles have dispersed!" After speaking, Emperor Minghui stretched out his hand and pinched his brows unconsciously. Looking at his sad face, it made people feel that he was really tired for a while. .

Thinking about it, it is true, but so many things happened in a short period of time, it would be exhausting for anyone.

Concubine Xian had already been sent back to the Qianqing Palace because of her fainting, but at this moment when everyone saw Emperor Minghui leaving with Concubine Lian, they were about to disperse.

Perhaps because he had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, when Chu Ming got up, he couldn't help shaking his body. Fortunately, Chu Xian stood beside him and helped him, so he finally stood up.

Seeing the people in the palace gradually disperse, Chu Ming just walked to Chu Qin's side, his eyes were full of resentment, "The eighth emperor's wish can be regarded as fulfilled now."

"Brother Emperor, my brother was wronged."

"Now that things have happened, you still dare to call for injustice in court."

"Since the big emperor doesn't believe me, I have nothing to say." Chu Qin smiled coldly, and walked away with the eighth princess.

Chu Ming looked at Chu Qin coldly from the bottom of his eyes. He didn't turn his head to look at Brother Chu Xu until the figures of the Eighth Prince and his wife disappeared.The corners of his mouth curled up, and he said in an increasingly gloomy voice, "Fifth Brother, Brother Dahuang is very fond of you."

Even though he said so, anyone could hear the sarcasm in his tone.

"That's it, thank you, big brother!" After saying that, Chu Xu and Chu Yu were ready to leave, but when the latter passed by Chu Ming, he said in a cool voice, "If big brother has Kong and my ministers are chatting here, why don't we take care of the body of the first princess..."

After finishing speaking, he smiled coldly, turned around and went straight out of the Qianqing Palace. At this time, it was already dark outside the palace, and the moon in the sky was just round, and the silver moonlight was sprinkled, reflecting the coldness of the place.
