Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 183

Chu Huang was so excited that he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his voice was completely hoarse: "Brother..."

King Qingyi held his hand: "Tiankuo, don't talk any more, take a good rest." He could understand everything, and he owed too many people in his life.

"Brother, hehe, I can't do it anymore." Chu Tiankuo's eyes were loose, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he could only know what he was talking about through the shape of his mouth, "Brother, can I see Bai Yuhuai before I die?" Hua, I am also satisfied... Tell me, when I die, can I catch that cloud in the sky? Have you seen it? She smiled at me on the cloud...Brother, I will accompany Yunqing , this time, don't follow me again..."

Finally, his hand was completely loosened...

King Qingyi closed his eyes, stood up, covered him with the quilt, and found a few bunches of white jade Sophora japonica flowers lying on the pillow on the inner side.He picked it up, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, frowning, this scent is not all the smell of white jade flower...

When Chu Mu was called in, the emperor of the ninety-five level had closed his eyes forever. He was dazed for a moment, and soon his expression returned to normal.

King Qingyi turned around, looked at Chu Mu, spread out the edict, read it again, and said: "Do according to the instructions of the Ming Dynasty, and don't make extra troubles."

Chu Mu said lightly: "Who is passed on to the throne in His Majesty's edict?" He didn't care about this matter at first, but because of her...

King Qingyi did not answer but asked instead: "Your Majesty's cause of death was poisoning, and besides Yuncheng in this huge state of Chu, only Prince Qingyi's Mansion has white jade locust trees. How did these white jade locust flowers come from?" look.

Seeing those white jade locust trees, Chu Mu's amber eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly understood, he smiled and said: "Father, how do you know that there are white jade locust trees planted in Qingyi Palace? If you investigate it, the whole Prince Qingyi's mansion is inseparable from everything, including you, father, and your unborn grandson."

After the death of a controversial emperor, the next step is the ownership of the throne.Except for the Qingyi Palace, no one knows what happened in the palace, and no one knows that the young and powerful Emperor Chu is no longer alive. Various forces are speculating, but no one knows what is going on better than that person——

"Grandpa, what do you mean...you poisoned him?" In the secret room, Chu Li's purple pupils were dark.

"It's a chronic poison. If you don't leave your body for 24 hours, it will be poisoned into the bone marrow and there is no cure." God."

Chu Li didn't speak, he was never ready for that person's death, for so many years, he was never ready.

"Li'er, stop hesitating, hesitation is useless! No matter what he thinks in his heart, whether he really wants to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones or just want to deceive others, now is the best time. You have the highest reputation, and everyone in the court knows that you must be the crown prince in the future. Anyway, the entire Ming army is under your control. Once he dies, you will mobilize the Ming army to surround the imperial city. Everything is logical, and there is no need to waste money What twists and turns." The old man smiled, and the little fox on his shoulder licked his paw, leisurely.

"I'll go into the palace to have a look." Chu Li raised his leg and left.

"Okay, now you can go and visit your father and king. It is also necessary to show filial piety." The old man didn't know whether he was laughing or mocking.

Chu Li no longer responded to him, and walked towards the secret room.If it was really as the old man just said, that person would not have much time to live. No matter how many heinous things he did, he was his father after all.When I was young, my mother was indirectly killed by my father, and now my father was poisoned by my grandfather. This is really a cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution is not good.But he really wanted to see how much true love existed in the past... If that person still had a little affection for him...

The sky was already slightly bright, and the road was covered with pure white ice and snow. Many ministers were rushing to go to the morning court, so there were many official sedan chairs parked outside Suzaku's gate.Just as Chu Li got off the sedan chair, he heard the ministers discussing that the emperor of Chu had caught some wind and cold. It was not early today, and everyone left after exchanging greetings with Chu Li. It was nothing more than saying that it was cold and be careful It sounds like he cares about the scene, but the essence is boring.

Chu Li entered the palace and walked straight to the Zichen Hall. As soon as he approached the Zichen Hall, he was stopped by the eunuch: "His Royal Highness Li, Your Majesty is resting because he is not feeling well. Please go back."

Chu Li stood still, Zitong stared at the closed door tightly: "Father is ill, and this king wants to go in and visit. Do you dare to stop this king?" His voice was low, with Inherent in majesty, the eunuch flinched in fright, and couldn't help taking a step back, bowing his body in an extremely embarrassed look.

Suddenly the door opened, and another eunuch came out, and respectfully saluted Chu Li: "Your Highness, please come in."

Chu Li was slightly surprised, but couldn't explain why.He didn't speak any more, and slowly stepped into the Zichen Palace.The door closes from the outside.

The veil in front of the dragon bed was lowered, and a figure could be vaguely seen standing inside with his hands behind his back. Chu Li just wanted to salute, but the man turned around and said, "You are Chu Li?"

Chu Li's body was startled, it was not the voice of Emperor Chu, his purple pupils flickered slightly, and his thin lips tightened: "Who are you?"

The man didn't move at all, his voice was extremely cold, without any emotion: "If you are considered a member of the Great Chu royal family, you should have heard of the royal ancestral hall."

Chu Li didn't answer, the royal family's ancestral hall only existed in legends, and the Emperor Chu never mentioned it directly.

"This old man is the Great Elder of the ancestral hall. He is responsible for supporting the new monarch after the monarch passes away. Now that His Majesty has passed away, you can kneel down and obey His Majesty's will." The man in the tent continued.

Chu Li couldn't see his face clearly, but his non-emotional attitude made Chu Li unconsciously believe his words. He really knelt down and listened carefully.

The man didn't take the imperial decree, but he read it without any pause, very fluently:
"Following the fate of the heavens, the Emperor Chu said: Our Great Chu Kingdom has followed the ancestral system since ancient times, and abides by the order of elders and younger generations. Therefore, after my death, the crown prince Chu Xiao was appointed as the successor of the Emperor Chu. And to prevent the disaster of the prince seizing the throne and the danger of the prime minister's exclusive power After the prince succeeds to the throne, he can abolish the prince and the prime minister, so as to revitalize our great Chu community. This is my honor."

After listening to it, Chu Li's mind was numb, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although he knew that his father might not like him, maybe he was just using him as a cover, but he never thought that his father would be so unfeeling The situation - the throne is not his, nor is the prince's seat, so all the credit he has made in the past, all the painstaking efforts he has made for the Great Chu Kingdom, are all in vain...

After doing so much, in the end, there is nothing left.

Chu Li's smile got deeper and deeper, and his purple pupils became darker and darker. He knelt down to the position of the dragon bed, as if he was smiling or crying: "Thank you for your kindness."

Then, don't blame him for being merciless in everything that follows.

It is not easy to change the dynasty, especially after the sudden death of the emperor, if the government is handed over to a prince who has no real power to take care of it, no one will be convinced.Prince Li's Mansion and the princelings must be staring at each other at this moment, and they will not let down their vigilance for a moment.

King Qingyi ordered Chu Mu to go back to the palace first, and the Daming Order will be sent by him to the successor monarch selected in the will. He will handle all matters in the palace, and Chu Mu only needs to go back and wait for dispatch.

Although Chu Mu didn't express his gratitude, he was in a daze for a moment. If he didn't understand his father's cold personality and hatred for him all the time, he would almost think that King Qingyi wanted him to have less twists and turns and not have to fight for the throne. And racked my brains.

Chu Mu didn't want to get involved in these disputes, and stopped talking nonsense and asking him a lot, and went back to the palace first. He had to explain some things to her clearly.

When I returned to Prince Qingyi's Mansion, it was almost dawn, and I opened the door of Sheying Building, and saw her curled up on the couch, covered with a thin quilt, and when she heard the door opening, she woke up almost immediately, and lifted the thin quilt , ran towards him: "Chu Mu, you are back? How is it? What happened?"

He hurriedly caught her body, his heart was raised in his throat, and his eyes widened: "Why don't you go to sleep? What are you doing lying on the couch? Didn't you say it was cold? Why are you so disobedient?" mostly.

"I can't sleep." Qiao Ye lowered her head, bit her lip, and said honestly, "Chu Mu, tell me, what happened? What happened in the palace? I want to know."

Chu Mu grabbed the thin quilt on the couch and wrapped her tightly. He picked her up and walked to the big bed. He didn't keep her secret, and said softly, "The Emperor Chu is dead." Her amber eyes were focused Looking at Qiao Ye anxiously, he said again, "It's poisoned." However, he still didn't mention those white jade flowers, and he didn't care whether she knew it or not.

"What?!" Qiao Ye was shocked, tugging at Chu Mu's sleeve and asked, "What about the throne? Who is Chu Huangli? Is it the Seventh Brother?! It's the Seventh Brother, right? No, Chu Xiao, thank you!" Heart..." She was suddenly confused.

Chu Mu put her on the bed, wrapped her in another layer of quilt, pressed her restless body, paused, and sighed silently: "It is said in the imperial edict that according to the ancestral system of the Great Chu Kingdom, the throne is passed on to the eldest son, Chu Xiao. And from then on, the prince will be abolished to curb the expansion of the prince's power..."

"..." Qiao Ye was dumbfounded, "You mean, the Emperor Chu has been playing tricks for so long? He arranged the best position for Brother Seven, making everyone think that he would be the crown prince, and now Are you going to take it back? Then Brother Seven has nothing now?! How could Emperor Chu do this?!"
