This man is a top-notch master in the capital, and he can die just like that!

The guests did not dare to stay any longer to watch the show. Those who had guards hurriedly called for their guards, while those who did not have guards quickly asked for the guards of others and quickly left the Degao Palace.

Burning with anger and a series of failures, Prince Yuenan completely lost his mind.

The situation was originally going well, and he had clearly manipulated everyone into his hands. Soon he would be able to take care of his brother's beautiful wife and daughter, but it suddenly turned into such a mess.

The subsequent events of the demon clan and the princess were exposed, and he had to face too much pressure, and all of this was caused by Chu Bu She!

King Yuenan snatched the sword from a guard and strode towards Chu Bushe, intending to execute him on the spot.

"You wild boy from the Western Regions, do you really think that just because the imperial court gives you a title, you are truly a prince?

If I kill you, at most you will be punished, and no one will speak up for you, an outsider with no legitimate reason.

But you just touched me and hurt me, you give me -"

"I'll give you a knife!"

Chu Bushe grabbed the blade with his bare hands, and before King Yuenan could finish his words, he slashed him in front of him with his sword.

King Yuenan's life force quickly faded, his body fell down, and a pool of blood flowed out.

The word "Shou" (longevity) posted on the doors and windows was reflected in the red pool of blood.

Prince Fu was stunned, staring at the corpse on the ground in astonishment, and asked:

"Chu Bushe, do you know what you have done? You killed a prince! There is no way you can end this!"

Why didn't you say this when King Yuenan was about to take action just now?

Chu Bushe spread his hands innocently and said:

"I am familiar with the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. 'Those who collude with the demon tribe shall be executed immediately.' I report that King Yuenan is colluding with the demon tribe."

not to mention,

The Queen and the Imperial Concubine have left me alone for so long. Now that a prince has died, it’s time for them to meet me, right?

Chapter 8: Two Phoenixes in the Court

The current court of the Great Zhou Empire presents an abstract state.

Emperor Wenyuan ignored state affairs and focused on flowers, birds, insects and fish. He did not care about court affairs and allowed the harem to interfere in government affairs.

Moreover, whether because he was afraid of Queen Mi's monopoly of power or for some other reason, he even let Concubine Yin get involved to compete with her.

The last time Chu Bushe entered the court was when he just came back with the tiger talisman.

When I saw the situation in the court, I was confused for a long time and went back to inquire for some information.

Let’s just say that during the time of Empress Tianwu, the current emperor was still the crown prince. At that time, he asked his mother when she would return the throne to him, and was then punished by Empress Tianwu.

From then on, the prince never recovered, and he remained the same until the Empress Tianwu passed away and the throne fell on his head.

......

Court.

After being left out for a long time, Chu Bu She came here again.

In this Golden Palace, a long pearl curtain divides this luxurious place into two.

Behind the pearl curtain, the throne that symbolized the supreme ruler was empty. On the left sat Queen Mi, and on the right sat Concubine Yin.

The pearl curtain shrouds these two stunning beauties in a mysterious beauty.

If it were not for important festivals, ordinary officials would find it difficult to see the true beauty of the two women and could only vaguely see the outlines of their voluptuous and graceful figures.

The atmosphere of this impromptu court meeting was solemn.

Because a prince with a fiefdom died.

Not long after His Majesty ascended the throne and took over the empire, Empress Mi, who was known for her wisdom, issued a decree prohibiting disputes among the royal family.

Generally speaking, the more emphasis something has, the more serious the problem is.

However, no royal family would openly go against the law, and basically the struggle would be shifted to shady means.

The newly crowned king, Chu Bushe, beheaded a prince at King Degao's birthday banquet.

This is a serious matter, it is a provocation to Regal!

In front of the empress, the concubine, and all the officials, Prince Fu recounted everything he knew.

"The above is what I know. Prince Rong Chu is not involved. Do you have anything to say?"

Chu Bu She behaved very honestly. He stared at the two beautiful figures behind the pearl curtain, as if he wanted to see something.

He said:

"Empress, Imperial Concubine, Prince Fu missed one point. Prince Yuenan and Prince Degao are both suspected of colluding with the demon clan, and even colluding with the demon clan to murder Princess Jinse and me.

I didn't take the initiative to attack King Yuenan, and I didn't even chase him. I just fought back twice."

There was a eunuch on each side, who reported the intelligence they had obtained to the empress and the imperial concubine respectively.

"As far as the relationship is concerned, this matter should be left to Concubine Yin to decide and deal with."

The queen spoke calmly and gently, with generosity and composure without seeming weak and gullible.

Relationship...Chu Bushe remembered that Prince Yuenan and Prince Degao were both from Concubine Yin's faction.

Concubine Yin did not refuse. She asked in a clear voice:

"Where are Jinse and Princess Yu?"

Prince Fu said quickly, "Jinse and Princess Yu were found in the clinic where Prince Rong was recuperating, and they are now being escorted here."

The ministers in the court immediately focused their attention on Chu Bushe.

The princess and her daughter are in his clinic, so things are getting tricky.

But Chu Bushe remained calm and there was not a single ripple.

Soon, Princess Jinse and Princess Yu arrived at the court.

Princess Yu looked sad, as if she was still in shock. She paused to explain the situation she had encountered:

"Jinse and I were knocked unconscious by the tea brought by the maid in the morning. I vaguely remember a group of people taking us away.

After waking up, my mother and I were in the Jishi Medical Clinic. Guo Le, the guard of King Yuenan, was guarding us. Miss Baishe in the clinic discovered the situation and killed Guo Le in the fight. "

This statement was something Princess Yu came up with on the spur of the moment, intended to help exonerate Chu Bu She.

The real situation at that time was that when Bai She was taking them away, Guo Le accidentally saw them. He knew that his master wanted to take Jin Se away and would never let a stranger take her away.

Therefore, Guo Le took the initiative to step forward to snatch the person, but was killed by Bai She.

Upon hearing this, Prince Fu guessed:

"So that's how Guo Le died. Doesn't that mean that the princess and Princess Jinse had already been transferred to the clinic, and Prince Yuenan wanted to put the blame on Prince Rong, making the world think that he was hiding the princess and her daughter?"

Prince Fu instinctively felt that something was wrong, as if there was some discrepancy between this and the information he knew.

But Princess Yu and Prince Rong had never even met each other, so they would not speak up for Chu Bushe.

Jinse looked embarrassed and said sadly:

"Jinse also has something to mention. When Prince Rong and I were trapped in the demon tribe's residence, I unexpectedly heard the demon tribe discussing that this was instigated by someone in the capital, aiming to frame Prince Rong."

She did not say explicitly that she had heard her father's discussion, otherwise people would easily suspect that she and Chu Bu She were collaborating on this matter.

Not long after, combined with Tianyu's severe interrogation of the maid Huang Yao and the strategist Biden, it was confirmed that there was no new information, and everyone came to a conclusion on the matter.

It’s too much!

The ingredients are so complex!

Collusion with demon clan, beauty trap, honey trap, internal spy, using wife and daughter as bait, brothers fighting, coveting brother's sister-in-law.

"It's all because of the dispute over the fiefdom of Liangzhou!"

"Prince Degao plotted to get rid of Prince Rong and Prince Yuenan. But Prince Yuenan knew everything and fanned the flames, wanting to get rid of Prince Rong and Prince Degao."

"In the end, the two people who schemed the most, Prince Yuenan and Prince Degao, both died, but Prince Rong survived!"

"Moreover, colluding with the demon clan is a serious crime. Even if Prince Rong did kill Prince Yuenan, judging from this situation, he is unharmed."

There is one more thing that some people dare not say.

King Yuenan is dead, and King Degao is still alive, but he colluded with the demon clan and according to the law he should be stripped of his title. Doesn't that mean Liangzhou will return to Chu Bushe's hands?

When he returned to Beijing before, many people speculated whether he was going to take back Chuliangzhou.

Behind the pearl curtain, Concubine Yin suddenly snorted coldly. The court fell silent for a moment, and the ministers bowed their heads and held their breath.

"So, Prince Rong is pure and innocent in this matter?"

Chu Bushe responded:

“Reporting to the Imperial Concubine, I know that I was able to escape from so many traps thanks to the blessing of God.

Perhaps it is because, unlike King Degao and King Yuenan, I really have no desire for Liangzhou. "

Concubine Yin chuckled twice, and it was hard to tell whether she was satisfied or joking. She said:

"Well, since you have no interest in the fiefdom, the vacancy in Liangzhou will be filled by Princess Yu.

As for the matter of Prince Degao colluding with the demon clan, Prince Fu will deal with it according to the laws of the Zongzheng Temple.

Queen, what do you think of this treatment?"

Compared to Concubine Yin, Empress Mi was much calmer, and her emotions could not be sensed from her tone. She said:

"Prince Rong finally killed Prince Degao. Although there are reasons for the internal strife, he still needs to be punished. Consider the circumstances and confine him to the capital for half a year."

The corners of Chu Bu She's mouth twitched slightly.

Last time, right after he was crowned king, he was immediately left alone for half a year. He was not even allowed to enter the palace. Now he is under house arrest for another half a year?

Concubine Yin added:

"If it's only six months, the princes will inevitably have objections, so let's extend it to a year."

Chu Bushe glanced at the beautiful figure of the imperial concubine, secretly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and said:

"Empress, Noble Concubine, I have a favor to ask. I want to see the Emperor!"

After these words were spoken, the ministers all felt worried for Chu Bushe.

After all, he is a young and ignorant barbarian who grew up in the Western Regions. No, the land of Chuliang was originally a land of barbarians. It doesn’t matter where he grew up.

Now the Queen and the Imperial Concubine are sitting in the court. You, Chu Bushe, want to bypass them and meet the Emperor directly. Isn't that openly expressing your dissatisfaction with them?

These are offensive words!

Concubine Yin was about to explode, but Empress Mi took the initiative to speak, her tone still calm and peaceful:

"Prince Rong wants to report something to the Emperor. I can convey it on his behalf. But are you dissatisfied with the punishment just given?"

"That is not the case. I would like to ask the emperor about an old story about the Western Expedition."

The old story of the Western Expedition?

This was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone thought he was talking about the issue of fiefdom, or the issue of punishment mentioned by the Queen and the Imperial Concubine.

"Please speak, Prince Rong."

The queen's phoenix eyes seemed to be looking at him.

Chu Bushe was no longer half-bowed at this time. He straightened his back, and his bearing and majesty were revealed.

As the descendant of the commander of the Western Expedition Army, he looked directly at the woman behind the pearl curtain and asked in a sonorous voice:

“The Western Expedition Army was formed during the Jing’an period to expand the territory of the Great Zhou Empire. Today’s Liaoyu Protectorate is the result of the Western Expedition Army.

Why did the imperial court cut off the logistics and communication of the Western Expedition Army back then? Was there a hidden reason?"

Chapter 9: The Princess's Tooth for Tooth

In the harem garden.

Emperor Wenyuan stood by the pond feeding the fishes, while Empress Mi stood behind him, narrating in a gentle voice what had happened in the court today.
