Emperor Hongyuan smiled immediately, "As expected of Princess Li, she is so smart."
As he said this, he regretted: "Hey, why did I just guess at eggs and duck eggs? The only thing I don't like is my face!"
Yun Ruoyue thought to herself that this was a brain teaser she learned in modern times. She taught it to Xue Tianxiang specifically for this scene. Of course these ancients couldn't guess it.
Xue Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty, since Princess Li has won, shouldn't she be the first to order the show?"
Emperor Hongyuan smiled and said: "Okay, it's up to her to order it."
Xue Tianxiang took the script from Amina, handed it to Yun Ruoyue, and said: "This is the script. Princess Li, please order it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Yun Ruoyue took the playbook, she began to read it carefully.
After flipping through the pages for a while, she pointed to one of the playbooks and said: "I have seen most of the plays here, but I haven't seen this one called "The Legend of Chengjun". If not, I'll choose "The Legend of Chengjun"."
"Bar?"
Xue Tianxiang said: "Okay, Amina, go and ask the troupe to get ready."
"Yes, empress." Amina said and walked out of the hall.
Emperor Hongyuan was startled when he heard the name "The Legend of Chengjun".
Unexpectedly, Yun Ruoyue would order this play. When he heard the name Chengjun, he felt a little uncomfortable.
At this time, suddenly, various kinds of music sounded, and then all kinds of characters came on stage and began to perform this opera.
Seeing the characters on the stage, Emperor Hongyuan remembered Chengjun's story.
This Chengjun was a tyrant in ancient times.
Legend has it that he was cruel by nature, ignorant and arrogant.
In order to enjoy himself, he arbitrarily levied excessive taxes on the people, levied exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and also forced many corvees to build tombs and palaces for him, even women and children were not spared.
Chengjun's move made the people miserable, and the people were miserable, with sorrow and resentment everywhere.
Finally, the people couldn't bear it anymore and took up arms and declared an uprising.
They rushed into Chengjun's palace angrily, killed Chengjun on the spot, insulted his body, cut his body into five pieces, and finally fed it to the dogs.
The imperial mausoleum built by Chengjun at that time, which cost a huge amount of money, was also destroyed by the rebels, and his luxurious palace was burned down by the rebels.
It can be said that Chengjun was overthrown by the people. This is the fate of a tyrant.
At this time, the scene of Chengjun having his neck cut off by the rebels was being played on the stage.
This scene was so real that Emperor Hongyuan felt a chill on his neck and felt uneasy in his heart. He was very nervous.
Oh my gosh!
If he doesn't care about the people now, will he end up like Chengjun?
When he saw the rebels cutting Chengjun's body into five pieces and dragging Chengjun's body to feed the dogs, he was already trembling with fear and sweating coldly.
When he saw Chengjun's tomb being trampled and the palace burned to the ground, a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
As he watched, he became more and more panicked, and his head suddenly started to hurt violently.
"Ah!" Emperor Hongyuan held his head and suddenly groaned in pain.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Xue Tianxiang asked nervously upon seeing this.
As soon as this voice came out, the performance on the stage stopped abruptly, and the ministers in the hall also stood up and stared at Emperor Hongyuan nervously.
"My head hurts so much. Eunuch Xu, hurry up, go find Chen Changqing and get the longevity pill." Emperor Hongyuan said sadly.
"Yes, I will go right away." Eunuch Xu said and ran out quickly.
When Chu Xuanchen saw this, he winked at Mo Li who was standing next to him. Mo Li immediately secretly dodged out and followed Eunuch Xu.
At this time, Yun Ruoyue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, where are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want me to help you take a look?"
"I don't need you anymore. I just have the Longevity Pill. Concubine Xue, please help me go to the palace to rest. Concubine Wan, please stay here for me to accompany everyone." Emperor Hongyuan ordered.
Dong Shishi hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Xue Tianxiang hurriedly walked over to help Emperor Hongyuan, "Your Majesty, come, I, my concubine, will help you."
With that said, she quickly glanced at Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue, and helped Emperor Hongyuan away.
When everyone saw Emperor Hongyuan leaving, their expressions changed slightly.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongyuan would suddenly have a headache. He was in good health before. What happened recently?
Could it be caused by taking too much elixir?
Seeing Emperor Hongyuan leave, Chu Xuanchen also took Yun Ruoyue's hand and said, "Madam, it's too stuffy in here, let's go out and get some fresh air?"
"Okay, let's go!" Yun Ruoyue said.
Then, the two of them also walked out of the main hall and walked towards the imperial garden.
When he walked to a deserted garden, Chu Xuanchen said: "Yue'er, did you see the emperor's expression just now? When he saw the "Chengjun Biography" you ordered, his expression changed drastically, as if he was horrified.
It seems that he also associates himself with Chengjun."
Yun Ruoyue nodded, "Yes, he is a tyrant just like Chengjun. He is only a little better than Chengjun. If he continues like this, he will end up like Chengjun. That's why he is so afraid."
"The fact that he was frightened by this show shows that he is not hopeless." Chu Xuanchen said.
Yun Ruoyue said: "Xuan Chen, thanks to you coming up with some tricks and the cooperation of Concubine Xue, we can make this "The Legend of Chengjun" appear smoothly."
Chu Xuanchen stretched out his hand and rubbed Yun Ruoyue's head, and said with a smile: "The brain teaser you are thinking of is also great. It is as interesting as the eyebrows growing under the eyes last time. They didn't even guess it."
Yun Ruoyue smiled slyly and said: "Is this a mutual compliment in business? The emperor will definitely feel uneasy after watching this scene today. If we try to persuade him again, maybe he will relent. But now he
He insists on having his own way and doesn't listen to us at all. Even if we try to persuade him, we can't do anything."
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and said: "Yue'er, didn't you say last time that you could cure the emperor's headache? If you can give him pain relief, then his mood will get better. When he is in a better mood, we can persuade him
He might be able to do twice the result with half the effort."
Yun Ruoyue said worriedly: "I can give him pain relief. But you also saw that when I tried to treat him just now, he refused to let me go. He only trusted the longevity pill."
Chu Xuanchen curled his lips slightly and said, "Eunuch Xu went to get the longevity pill just now. Yue'er, if something happens to Eunuch Xu on the way and he can't get the longevity pill for the time being, do you think the emperor will come to beg you?"
When Yun Ruoyue heard this, she suddenly realized, "Xuanchen, did you just ask Moli to follow Eunuch Xu just to stop Eunuch Xu from getting the longevity pill? I said it was such a coincidence that Moli also followed. It turns out that you had already
It’s ready!”
Chu Xuanchen chuckled: "You actually saw me coming?"
Yun Ruoyue glared at Chu Xuanchen fiercely, "You guy, you were ready tomorrow morning, why didn't you tell me?"
