Prince Rui said sinisterly: "Prince Li, you can't just consider Yun Ruoyue, you also have to consider your children. If you leave, who will take care of Chu Nanfeng and Chu Tianxing? Are you doing this for a woman from another country? , don’t even care about your own blood?”
Upon hearing Prince Rui's threat, Chu Xuanchen glared at him angrily and clenched his fists tightly.
"Ruoyue is not a woman from another country, she is my wife. She has saved countless people of Chu State. Wouldn't it be heartbreaking if we didn't even save her?" Chu Xuanchen said sternly.
Seeing that Chu Xuanchen was angry, Emperor Hongyuan weighed the pros and cons and comforted him: "King Li, I don't want you to rescue Yun Ruoyue, but you must not leave the capital now. In this case, I will send someone to Xueyue Kingdom to find her , get her back to you. In the meantime, you should go back to the palace first and wait for news from me."
Seeing that Emperor Hongyuan refused to give in, Chu Xuanchen thought of Nanfeng and Xing'er and had to say: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Having said this, he suddenly raised his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with the sneak attack on Deputy General Shen by Prince Rui's men?"
Prince Rui's eyes flashed, and he said with a guilty conscience: "Your Majesty, it was Vice General Shen who had a quarrel with Wang De, and Wang De accidentally killed him. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will deal with Wang De and others severely."
Chu Xuanchen's eyes were filled with fire and he said angrily: "Prince Rui, you are talking nonsense! Vice General Shen did not have a quarrel with Wang De. He just went to break up the fight. He was killed by a sneak attack by Wang De. You can't even think of confusing right and wrong."
Having said this, he looked at Emperor Hongyuan and said sternly: "Your Majesty, Vice General Shen has made great achievements in battle and made great contributions to the country, but he died at the hands of a sinister villain like Wang De. I really feel unworthy for him. This matter has caused trouble The whole army was enraged and their morale was weakened. They killed people to pay for their lives. I ask the emperor to punish Wang De severely to calm the morale of the army."
Prince Rui wanted to describe the murder of Vice General Shen as a quarrel between the two parties, so that everyone would think that Vice General Shen was also at fault, but of course Chu Xuanchen refused.
Prince Rui said sinisterly, "Prince Li, Deputy General Shen left his post without permission and went to the border with you. He has already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. It is not a pity for such a person to die!"
Chu Xuanchen said sternly: "Vice General Shen is just following orders. Even if he goes to the border with me, his contribution to the country cannot be erased!"
"Your Majesty, Lieutenant General Shen has spent his whole life as a soldier and devoted himself to the country, but he has ended up like this. If Wang De is not killed, the common people may not be angry!"
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he rolled his eyes sinisterly and said in a deep voice: "King Li, I am also deeply saddened by the death of Vice-General Shen. That Wang De, a small soldier, dared to sneak attack Vice-General Shen, you deserve to die!"
"Li Jinzhong, send the order to send Wang De and his accomplices to prison. Wang De will be executed and the others will be exiled outside the Great Wall!" Emperor Hongyuan said solemnly.
Lieutenant General Shen was very popular with the army. This incident caused such a big fuss. If he didn't kill Wang De, it might really cause a mutiny.
It's just a small virtue. As long as it can calm the anger of the people, I will kill him. Death is not a pity!
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Jinzhong said.
After hearing the results of Emperor Hongyuan's treatment, Chu Xuanchen finally felt better.
He finally avenged Vice General Shen and hoped that Wang De's death would comfort Vice General Shen's soul in heaven and also allow Shen Yulian to relieve her hatred.
"Your Majesty is wise." Chu Xuanchen said, and then said: "Your Majesty, I heard that when I was not in the palace, the Emperor specially sent two nuns to take care of Nanfeng and Xing'er. The Emperor cares about them so much, and I am deeply touched by it. I am so moved that I thank the Emperor on behalf of the children."
As he spoke, he gave Emperor Hongyuan a meaningful look.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Emperor Hongyuan's face. He smiled stiffly and said, "You and Ruoyue are not at home. As the elder of the children, of course I have to take good care of them for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. If nothing happens, I will go back to the palace first." Chu Xuanchen said.
"Well, you go! Go and see the children! Don't worry, I will send people to search for Ruoyue!" Emperor Hongyuan comforted him.
"Yes." Chu Xuanchen nodded and exited the imperial study.
After Chu Xuanchen left, Prince Rui hurriedly looked at Emperor Hongyuan and said, "Father, this time Chu Xuanchen committed such a serious crime, why don't you take the opportunity to dismiss him from his post and take back his military power?"
Emperor Hongyuan said sternly: "Chu Xuanchen is a military genius and must not be tampered with. I will keep him, he will be of great use."
Keep Chu Xuanchen, if there is another enemy attack, he will have someone available.
Although Prince Rui was very unconvinced, he could only say: "Father is right."
"And now his military power is divided into three, Su Ming controls one part, Yun Qing controls another, and he only has one-third. With this little military power, he can't make any trouble, so I will keep him here for the time being.
One life." At this point, Emperor Hongyuan raised his eyes, "By the way, Ruochen, do you know who kidnapped Yun Ruoyue? This thing is really strange."
Prince Rui said: "I don't know either, but I guess that Xueyue Kingdom must be divided into several factions, and each faction has its own agenda. Once Yun Ruoyue returns to the country, it will definitely destroy the interests of some people, so these people will
Take her abducted."
"Okay, the more internal strife these Xueyue people have, the more beneficial it will be to Chu State. No matter how they make trouble, remember, you must not let Prince Li go to Xueyue State!" Emperor Hongyuan said.
Prince Rui nodded firmly, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes, "Yes, Father."
-
Soon, Chu Xuanchen and his people rushed back to Prince Li's Mansion.
When he returned to Prince Li's Mansion, he hurried to Feiyue Pavilion to visit the children.
When he reached the entrance of Feiyue Pavilion, he saw two unfamiliar nuns standing in the yard.
At this time, in the courtyard, Nan Feng and Xing'er were standing there crying, while Su Qishao and the eldest princess each held one in their hands and were coaxing the child there.
Hearing the cries of the children, Chu Xuanchen's heart was broken!
"Hey, look, the prince is back!" At this time, Feng'er's sharp eyes saw Chu Xuanchen at a glance, and she immediately shouted happily.
When Su Qishao and the eldest princess heard this, they quickly turned around and saw Chu Xuanchen.
As soon as they saw him, the two people hurriedly walked towards him. The eldest princess said excitedly: "Xuanchen, you are finally back! Where is Yue'er? Have you found her?"
"Yes, brother-in-law, where is Xiao Yue'er? Why didn't she come back with you? Didn't you find her?" Su Qishao also asked anxiously.
Seeing the worried expressions of the two people, Chu Xuanchen shook his head uncomfortably, "No, she was kidnapped to Xueyue Kingdom and disappeared. I was going to lead the army to find her in Xueyue Kingdom, but Prince Rui said to Nan Feng
He threatened Xing'er, so I came back!"
"What? This abominable Prince Rui!" The eldest princess gritted her teeth angrily. She glared at the two nuns next to her with an angry look on her face.
What is Prince Rui? Prince Rui is just a chess piece. The one who really gives orders is that old guy, Emperor Hongyuan!
But this Prince Rui is not innocent, he and this old guy are in the same group!
