The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 216 Fresh Blood

The unwilling faces made the crowd even more emotional.

"Kill them! Kill them!"

Lei Zhen, who was wearing iron shackles, suddenly raised his head ferociously, and looked at the villagers who had been laughing at him and insulting him. They came here today to see that this domineering general's mansion is on the road to extinction.

"Kill them!"

Countless rotten vegetables and rotten eggs swept in again, and someone just hit Lei Zhen's eyes, and the rotten eggs immediately made Lei Zhen so painful that he couldn't open his eyes.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

Dongfang Xu raised his head to look at the warm sun in the sky, and then drew out the red card in front of the table, "It's time to execute."

At this time, Mrs. Weiyuan laughed wildly, "Hahaha... Liu Yunshu, do you think you have won? Do you think you have won? Hahaha... Liu Yunshu, you must die!"

Dongfang Xu's eyes were stained with anger. With one look, the guards were the first to pull up Mrs. Weiyuan, and the executioner was ready.

"...I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled—" Afterwards, everything stopped at the coldness of the knife.

Yun Shu watched all this quietly, then turned around calmly, "Let's go."

"Yes, ma'am."

Fortunately, everyone in the general's mansion deserved death, and there was no innocent person who made Yun Shu feel guilty. This was one of the reasons why Yun Shu had no scruples.

Ji Jin, who has been standing in the dark, has a panoramic view of everything just now. It's a blessing that she dared to look at such a scene, but this time, Ji Jin further understands that this woman is more cold-blooded and ruthless than he imagined.

Her simple three words "I won" can completely defeat Mrs. Weiyuan. It seems that she really understands the enemy's psychology and knows how to leave a fatal blow on the opponent's wound, so that she Get the thrill of victory.

However, Ji Jin also felt the horror of Yun Shu, and it was hard to imagine what would happen if he became an enemy of her.

Thinking of this, Ji Jin smiled lightly. Fortunately, he didn't offend her, but this time, the little girl really owed him a favor.

In the imperial study.

All the palace people were waiting outside, Emperor Chen didn't allow anyone to enter without his permission.

The air was filled with calming ambergris, and the curling smoke seemed to take his thoughts back many years.

Chen Huang's hands trembled slightly, and then, he placed a pair of calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and gently twisted the mechanism behind.

The calligraphy and painting slowly rose, and another one fell.

In the painting, there is a woman in white. Her hair is adorned with feathers and precious stones. Her ethereal and clear eyes seem to be able to pierce people's hearts. Her frail and boneless dancing posture is the most beautiful scenery in the world.

No matter how many times, Emperor Chen would look infatuated, but in the end, the infatuation in his eyes turned into a touch of helplessness and resentment.

Isn't what I gave her enough?Why are you so obsessed with the Queen's position?
"The Wu family...why are you always entangled with you?"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince seeks an audience." The Grand Duke's voice sounded outside the door.

Chenhuang glanced at the portrait with some nostalgia, and then pressed the switch, "Let him in."

Dongfang Xu came back from the Meridian Gate and went straight to the Imperial Study Room.

"Father."

"Well, are there many people watching?"

Dongfang Xu lowered his eyes, expressing his acquiescence.

Chen Huang took a deep breath and sat back in his seat, "If they can keep their own place, they won't end up in the current situation. This is the military power handed over by General Weiyuan."

Three tokens appeared on the jade plate, "Prince, is there anyone in your mind?"

"Father, now that General Weiyuan and General Lei have lost, it should be a warning to all generals, but we also need to promote new talents. My son wants to hand over the military power to Liu Yunfeng and Feng Yu."

Emperor Chen couldn't help frowning, "But they haven't inherited the position of marquis yet, it's hard to stop Youyou's mouth if they are given military power now."

"Father, they are people my minister can trust. Apart from this, I can't think of who I want to let take over the military power."

"Feng Yu is fine, but Liu Yunfeng..." After all, he is the grandson of General Weiyuan.

"Yunfeng has nothing to do with the Weiyuan clan, and father and son believe that he will put the overall situation first."

Seeing the prince's firm eyes, Emperor Chen took a deep breath, "Since you are so persistent, then, after they get married, the father will give them the throne, and then it is a matter of course to give them the military power."

"Thank you, Father!"

Back in the palace, the chief guard of the East Palace greeted him, "Your Highness, the second prince has been waiting for a long time." However, his expression let Dongfang Xu know what might have happened.

In the gazebo in the garden, Dongfang Rui looked at a game of chess in front of him.

This was the last time he had just returned to the palace and saw Dongfang Xu's unfinished chess game.However, at this moment, his state of mind is quite different.

"Emperor brother."

The voice made Dongfang Rui raise his eyes, and a familiar smile appeared in his eyes. He was slightly taken aback, and soon came back to his senses, "Brother Huang."

"You came to me before, but... I'm sorry." He stretched out his hand and patted Dongfang Rui's shoulder, as usual.

His attitude didn't change in any way, but Dongfang Rui felt that the arm he touched was a little unnatural.

"Imperial Grandmother won't let you out of the palace, how can I blame you, but I can't help Brother Huang."

Dongfang Xu smiled, looked at the chess piece in his hand, "Do you want to finish this chess game?"

"……Um."

"Okay! It just so happens that I have finished dealing with today's affairs, sit down, and we will have dinner together after this game of chess!"

"Brother Emperor!"

There was a slight change in Dongfang Rui's tone, Dongfang Xu's lowered eyes flickered slightly, and then he raised his head as if nothing had happened, "Huh?"

"...Why not, let's exchange."

exchange?Dongfang Xu then understood what he meant. Dongfang Rui wanted to exchange chess pieces, and let him play his own side.

"Well, it's quite special." Even though he knew that he might have some deep meaning in doing this, Dongfang Xu agreed. The two exchanged positions. He had the illusion of changing vision.

This is the prince's side. I didn't expect to sit on the other side and watch the chess game with another feeling.

"I remember, it's your turn to play." Dongfang Xu picked up the sunspot, thought, and dropped it.

He just waited there, looking at the thoughtful look of the man opposite.

I don't know how long it took before Dongfang Rui made a move. He slowly dropped a son, "Brother Huang, do you remember the matter about my mother and concubine?"

Dongfang Xu only felt a thump in his heart, and then smiled, "We were all young at that time, so how could we remember?"

"The queen mother, have you ever mentioned it to the emperor?"

He came today to test himself.Dongfang Xu was thinking in his heart, but he was unwilling to destroy the friendship between their brothers.

"Didn't the queen say that Concubine Mei died of illness?"

"However, I heard recently that it's because my concubine made a mistake."

Did Concubine Mei not lie to him?Dongfang Xu saw the expression of the man opposite him, but felt that it was not real. "Emperor brother, it has been so many years, why bother to pursue it?"

What Dongfang Xu meant was to let him not be too obsessed with the past, and he didn't want him to have too much contact with Concubine Mei.But he knew that Dongfang Rui might not understand what he meant.

Sure enough, Dongfang Xu's understatement made Dongfang Rui feel that he seemed to be covering up the crimes the queen had committed.

If at this time, he was willing to say that everything was the queen's fault, then he would definitely be able to forgive him.Or, he said that he didn't know, and he would choose to believe him.But Dongfang Rui didn't believe it, he didn't believe that the empress hadn't mentioned this matter to the imperial brother, or that the imperial brother was also on guard against himself.

"Brother Huang, sometimes it's not that we refuse to let ourselves go, but that others are unwilling to give us a way out." Dongfang Rui made a move and looked at the chess game above, as if talking about black and white pieces, but Dongfang Rui A trace of uneasiness rose in Xu's heart.

"But if we look at it from another angle, maybe things are not what we see and hear?"

Dongfang Rui paused for a moment, then smiled, "Brother Huang is right, sometimes, what we see and hear may not be true."

He slowly raised his hand, and said, "Brother Huang, you lost."

Dongfang Xu looked at the chess game in front of him, yes, between words, he was gradually at a disadvantage, and now he really lost.

Dongfang Rui stood up, "However, I was just taking advantage of Brother Huang's momentum. In this round, Brother Huang should have won."

There was no emotion on his side face, Dongfang Xu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed that arm, for some reason, he always felt that once he turned around, he would never see his emperor brother again.

"Brother Emperor?"

Dongfang Xu fell into his own contemplation, grabbed Dongfang Rui's hand to prevent him from leaving, and the atmosphere between the two became extremely strange.

Dongfang Rui lowered his eyes slightly, as if looking forward to it.Whether Brother Huang wants to tell him the truth back then, no matter what he says, as long as he is willing to face it, then he will have the courage to forgive him.

Dongfang Xu raised his head slowly, showing a gentle smile, "You and I, brothers, don't need to talk about winning or losing."

"..."

His heart seemed to be hit hard, Dongfang Rui's memories floated back to his childhood, he often pestered his brother to play chess, at first it ended in failure, but later on, he found that his brother would deliberately lose to him.

After being discovered by myself, Brother Huang actually looked indifferent, and he obviously wanted to compete with him very seriously.Then, he ran away in a fit of anger, but caused the entire palace to mess up. Brother Huang led everyone to search everywhere, and finally found the awkward self on the attic.

At that time, he also said, you and I, brothers, don't care about winning or losing.

After a long time, Dongfang Rui returned a deep smile, "Brother Huang, do you know that this is what I hate the most about you."
