"Father, although A Bao is naughty, everything he said makes sense. Now that Yiqing's identity has been revealed, Yiqing and I don't have to hide in front of our father. Well, if my father can By accepting the three of us, I guarantee that I will carry forward the Li Kingdom. If the emperor is still stubborn, don't blame me for not thinking about the love between father and son and the love between the people!" Li Huang said in a low voice.
Li Li's eyes turned cold and he asked in a cold voice: "What do you want to do? Do you want to do the opposite?"
"Father, if the child really wants the throne, why bother waiting for this moment! Without the child rebelling, I believe that the emperor's throne will not be preserved." Bendidi Tuhe said, taking out a document from his arms and stepping forward, handing it to Xiao Shu Ying said calmly: "This is a secret military map of the Li State. My people obtained it from the spies of the Luo State. Now my father knows why the official car transporting tributes was hijacked and the descendant of Bai Ci died tragically, right? After Emperor Luo got this picture, he naturally wanted to use an excuse to start a war again. What's more, our country had just reached a truce with Rao State and encountered a severe drought. The soldiers were exhausted and the people were displaced. I believe that once this war started, Li State did not need to fight. Half the battle is already lost!”
When Li Li saw the military secret map, his face turned pale. No wonder Emperor Luo came back again. It turned out that he got this, but this was a military secret. How did Emperor Luo get it?
Just when Li Li was hesitating, Li Huang spoke sincerely again, "Father, you are my father after all. Everything Yiqing and I have done is just to get you to wake up, not to let him wake up." The country! If I really have a choice, father, I would rather not be a member of the royal family, I would rather be with Yi Qing, A Bao, free and easy in the mountains and rivers!" [
Li Li raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him. He had seen Li Huang since he was a child. He knew that after so many years of training, Li Huang would be a good emperor, and Chu Yiqing was like a myth. He never knew how powerful this woman was. If the current situation was coupled with the rebellion of the Shura Kingdom...and Abao, even though he was just a six-year-old child, the wisdom in his eyes was... Be calm and you will become great in the future.
How to choose between his dignity, these children, and the inheritance he worked so hard to build?
"Actually, white porcelain has not been lost. I have more than a dozen people who know how to make white porcelain!" Chu Yiqing suddenly said calmly.
Li Li's eyes lit up.
"This drought can be overcome safely!" Chu Yiqing spoke slowly again, "I have a way to divert water for irrigation to solve the current drought. Not only that, I can also promote rice planting everywhere, which will definitely guarantee the fragrance produced. The quality of the rice is higher than that of Luo State. Within three years, I can guarantee that Li Guoguo will become the leader of the four countries and there will be no need to attack any country!"
"Three years?" Li Li asked intuitively, his eyes gleaming. Three years. In three years, Li Guo can become the leader of the four kingdoms. Can he no longer be bullied by Luo Guo?
"Yes!" Chu Yiqing answered with absolute certainty.
Li Li seemed to have finally made a decision and said: "In that case, I can recognize your marriage to Huang'er, and I don't care about your identity. I can make Li Huang the crown prince, you the crown prince's concubine, and A Bao How about becoming the county king?"
Li Huang frowned, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, the concubine, the concubine again!
Chu Yiqing couldn't help but sneer. To put it bluntly, didn't he want to use her to make the Li country a powerful country? She didn't care about the position of the crown prince's concubine who was giving alms!
"Father, the kid doesn't agree!" Before Chu Yiqing could say anything, Li Huang took the lead and said coldly, "Since the father can't agree to the kid's conditions, please ask the dad to leave. The kid won't be sent away!"
"You...what's your attitude? My father traveled all the way from the capital to Chu Han. He had already put down his dignity as the supreme emperor, but it was just a frontal position and a side position. Why are you so persistent?
?" Li Li said angrily.
"The child is not persistent, it's because this matter should have been a matter of course, but the father blocked it all the time! When the child left the palace that day, he made it very clear that if the father did not accept the child's wife and children, the child would have no choice but to fight with them.
Let’s leave together!”
After Li Huang finished speaking, he held Chu Yiqing's hand and Abao was about to leave.
"Li Huang, stop!" Li Huang sighed, as if he wanted to ease the atmosphere, and his voice softened a lot: "Although I am the king of a country, I still have difficulties. This crown princess is the main wife. After you ascend the throne,
The position of queen is to enter the ancestral temple, but Chu Yiqing's identity is the princess of Shura Kingdom. To put it harshly, she is the enemy of our royal family of Li Kingdom. If she becomes the concubine all of a sudden, the ministers and the royal family will all
It doesn’t make sense! Now I can only make the decision to let Chu Yiqing be the crown prince’s concubine. As for the position of the principal concubine, it will depend on Chu Yiqing’s contribution in the future. If he really makes a great contribution, I will naturally be able to convince the emperor and everyone else.
Minister!"
After Li Li finished speaking, he spoke in a low voice again: "Huang'er, my father admits that he lost. My father has been a man of power for his whole life, but he has to admit that he really lost this battle with you.
!Now that my father has abandoned his royal dignity and personally went to Chu Han to welcome you back to the palace, are you really so determined? No mercy at all?"
Li Huang was startled, his eyes trembled, his face finally softened a little, and he whispered: "Father, but..."
"My father is old. Although I don't want to admit it, it is a fact. Li is in trouble domestically and externally. My father really can't support it anymore! With Qing by your side, my father believes that he will definitely carry forward Li's country! It's just God's will.
There are always some obstacles between you and Chu Yiqing. It's not that my father doesn't want to help you, it's just that I still want to block the mouths of all sentient beings!" Li Li spoke in a low voice, his eyes were anxious, and at this moment he had completely unloaded his usual routine.
The person inside was cold and gloomy, as if he was just an old man hoping that his children could understand him.
Li Huang's eyes flickered, but when he thought of Chu Yiqing's situation, he couldn't let go.[
Seeing that he could not persuade Li Huang and Chu Yiqing, Li Li immediately turned to A Bao, waved towards A Bao affectionately and said: "A Bao, come, come to Grandpa Huang!"
Abao blinked but didn't take a step forward.
"Abao, now that Grandpa Huang has recognized your identity as a royal bloodline, why are you still unwilling to get close to Grandpa Huang?" Li Li whispered, looking sad.
Abao raised his eyes to look at Li Huang and Chu Yiqing, and suddenly said in a crisp voice: "Your Majesty, we are just discussing a business. The Emperor does not really like the business between the Emperor and his father and mother.
Bao, what’s more, it’s not certain whether this business can be concluded!”
Li Xin's face was full of embarrassment.
Chu Yiqing raised his eyebrows in appreciation, he was indeed her good son! She stepped forward, held A Bao's hand tightly, and said softly: "If the emperor has anything to say, just tell your husband, let's take our leave first!"
Chu Yiqing took Abao and retreated straight away.
She really didn't want to see Li Li's hypocritical face again.
"Mom, do we really want to go back to the palace with daddy? Huh, what kind of county prince, I don't care about you!" Standing outside the door, Abao raised his head and asked.
Chu Yiqing knelt down, straightened A Bao's clothes, and whispered: "A Bao, my mother doesn't care about you either, but in this life, you may have to take this path!"
Abao blinked: "Why?"
Chu Yiqing smiled slowly: "Because you have the blood of Li Kingdom and Shura Kingdom. If you want peace between the two countries, you must take this path! Everyone has the right to choose, but you have no right to choose!"
When Chu Yiqing said these words, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness.
A Bao paused, suddenly hugged Chu Yiqing and said coquettishly: "Mother, don't be sad, A Bao doesn't care about the position of the county king, but if mother wants A Bao to do it, A Bao will go
, but Abao will never allow mother to suffer any injustice!"
Chu Yiqing lowered his head and "touched" Abao's head, feeling warm in his heart.
Thank God for allowing her to meet Ah Bao. She must be tough for Ah Bao. She will never allow anyone to bully her Ah Bao, even if that person is the emperor!
Mrs. Huangfu, Jin Yu, and Mai Xiang stayed in front of the Chu Mansion for half a day. Seeing that the sky was getting dark and there was still no news, they immediately became uneasy. Is there any way to get in touch with the people inside? The three of them
I had to stay with Liu Cuigu first.
Liu Cuigu is now married to Guo Changsheng, and the two houses have been merged into one. Together with Aunt Guo, she is responsible for the food and water issues of the clerks in the two vegetable shops. Now she suddenly sees the three people of Mrs. Huangfu coming to the door. Liu Cuigu and
The Changsheng Niang was startled and quickly welcomed the three people in.
"Old madam, why are you here in the town at this time? Your Majesty has arrived in Wuming Town today!" When Changsheng Niang saw Madam Huangfu and others, she quickly let them in, then stuck her head out and looked around, and saw that no one was following her.
, then closed the door, took Mrs. Huangfu's hand and said, "There is a commotion in the town these days. I am also panicked. I don't even dare to go out of the door. Now I don't know what the situation is. I just heard that the emperor
Come to Wuming Town!"
Mrs. Huangfu nodded and said: "I'm here. I entered Yiqing's house. It's been a long time now and no news has come out. In my heart..."
"Miss Chu is a good person. God will bless her. Madam, don't worry. It's so late today. I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet? Cui Gu, hurry up and make something to eat!" Changsheng
Mother quickly told Liu Cuigu.
Liu Cuigu quickly responded and went to the kitchen.[
"I haven't eaten since I came out in the morning. I'm so worried that I can't eat anything!" Mrs. Huangfu said, looking back at Mai Xiang, and asked: "Are you hungry?"
Mai Xiang shook her head, stood up and said, "Grandma, mother, I want to go to the Yamen to look for Brother Tieshuan. Maybe I can get some news. It's not a good idea for us to just guess!"
Jin Yu quickly stood up and said: "I'll go with you. Now it's no better than before. You have to be careful when you come in and out. Let's go together!"
Mai Xiang nodded and asked Mrs. Huangfu to rest in the room while she and Jin Yu went to the Yamen.
In a secluded courtyard in Wuming Town, Liu Yi stood under the peach blossom tree with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes dark.
Ah Xuan floated down from the wall and whispered something in Liu Yi's ear. Liu Yi looked happy and asked in a low voice: "Is it true?"
"It's absolutely true, my subordinates can hear it clearly on the roof!" Ah Xuan said quickly.
"So, this accident is not a disaster but a great joy for Aunt Chu?" Liu Yi said happily.
"At least Emperor Li is willing to admit that Miss Chu, as his daughter-in-law, is now just a dispute between the main concubine and the side concubine! Your Majesty, you can rest assured. However, Your Majesty, you have repeatedly disobeyed the Emperor's orders. I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it when you go back!" Ah Xuan said in a low voice. .
Liu Yi didn't listen to Ah Xuan's words. At this moment, he felt a sigh in his heart. If Aunt Chu really returned to the palace with the fifth prince, then the eldest brother's affection for her... seemed to be thinking of Liu Qian's infatuation with Chu Yiqing. Liu Yi faintly Sighed.
"Your Majesty, it's actually not too late for us to go back now, why not..." Thinking that Liu Yi had really come to his senses this time, Ah Xuan quickly said happily.
"Who said I want to go back?" Liu Yi glared, "Now the matter is not over yet, I will not leave, not to mention, now Aunt Chu has no time to take care of the safety of the house, I want to protect the house for Aunt Chu!"
Ah Xuan was stunned.
In the yamen, it was getting late, but no one had the intention to go home. They all craned their necks to wait. Is this an arrest or something? There must be some news, right?
Shitou came over with two jars of wine and some side dishes, and called to the officials: "Come, come, come, don't wait around, eat some!"
Liang Yi stepped forward, sat down at the main table, looked at the exquisite side dishes, and sighed: "Although these side dishes are inconspicuous, they were very sensational when they were first launched. This red bean skin, peanuts Rice celery and pickled tofu were not seen in Chu Han back then, let alone in the capital. To be honest, our Chu Han is very lucky to have Miss Chu. Without Miss Chu, Chu Han would still be a place of exile. Well, all these murderers and arsonists have flown here, and our job will not be peaceful!"
Shi Shi wiped the two jars of wine and said: "These two jars of wine were given to me by Miss Chu. I'm not willing to drink them. Now that I'm in a mood, it's better to take them out and drink them. It's better to say Miss Chu's words!"
Another yamen official was new to the post following Ma Yunfei. He didn't know about the friendship between Liang Yi, Shitou and Chu Yiqing, so he couldn't help but ask: "From what you say, this Miss Chu is not a bad person?"
Shitou looked at the man and said: "You are new here, so of course you don't know. Even though our rates are low, we get a lot of spare money every month. All of this money comes from merchants in the town, 80% of which are from Miss Chu." In fact, before the emperor came, based on Miss Chu’s identity and status, we didn’t dare to say no to the money and kept covering it as usual. However, Miss Chu is benevolent and righteous, and the brothers have never been short of money. !One of my brothers in Yuncheng used to get more than ten times more than me, but now it’s not enough for me! So, if you follow Miss Chu, your life will definitely get better and better, but now... the headhunter , do you think the emperor will really kill Miss Chu? Why, Miss Chu is now married to the fifth prince, and I heard that Young Master Chu is indeed the prince, this..."
Shitou turned to look at Liang Yi and asked.
Liang Yi took two sips of wine and frowned: "Boys, now I, my elder brother, will teach you a trick. If you want to make a fortune or get promoted, then quickly seize this opportunity. I watched the emperor meet Na Chu today."
Girl, we didn’t directly order the arrest, fearing that there might be an opportunity, we’d better be smart and leave a way out for ourselves!”
The new officer was stunned and said in a low voice: "Miss Chu is the princess of Shura Kingdom. Who doesn't know it now? Which emperor is not afraid of the previous royal family? Will he really let Miss Chu go?"
Liang Yi and Shitou glanced at the new yamen officer and said displeasedly: "Who can guess the emperor's thoughts accurately? Anyway, you don't have anything to do, just do your own thing well!"
The new yamen official responded quickly, took the opportunity to say "pee", and left the yamen through the back door. After turning two streets, he arrived in front of a dilapidated house. After imitating a cat's meow twice, the door of the house opened.
, the people inside quickly pulled the new yamen servant in.
"Brother Lei, why are you here? Is there any news?" Standing in the small hall were the two brothers Dahu and Erhu. Their faces were tense at this moment and they asked in a low voice: "How about it, the emperor takes action?"
Yet?"
The new yamen officer is Lei Huming, the eldest son of Lei Huming in Laohu Tun Leihu. He had often heard from Dahu and Erhu that there was a lot of money in the house, but he had always been afraid of the power of Chu Yiqing and the Zhao family and did not dare to take action. This time he finally
Seizing the opportunity, they joined forces with the two tigers and got 10,000 taels of silver at once. However, Chu Yiqing was not caught by the emperor. They did not dare to spend this money. They kept waiting for the opportunity. Finally, the emperor arrived at Wuming Town, but there was no chance.
After hearing the news, the two tigers finally couldn't stand it anymore and came to discuss with Lei Huming. Lei Huming was asking around in the yamen. Now after hearing what Liang Yi and Shitou said, he felt even more uneasy and hurriedly said:
"In short, don't 'show' your face, hide for now. When I say you can 'show' your face, you can come out again!"
The two tigers looked at the dilapidated courtyard in embarrassment and whispered: "Brother Lei, there is no wine, no meat and no women here. It's very uncomfortable!"
"Just be patient, maybe there will be news tomorrow! When Chu Yiqing dies, the Zhao family will not matter. Those lands will belong to my Lei family sooner or later, and your benefits will be indispensable by then!" Lei Huming said, seeing Shi Chen
It's late, come out of the house quickly.
The two tigers could only sigh. After sending Lei Huming away, they were about to wash up and go to sleep. They were attacked behind them. Although the two of them had skills, they were simply unable to reach the level of elegance compared to that person, and they could not speak harshly.
He fainted without shouting.
It was said that Jinyu and Maixiang arrived in front of the Yamen and were about to go to inquire about it, when they saw a black shadow coming out of the corner, which startled them both.
"Madam, Miss, you are a slave, Ah Xuan!" Ah Xuan clasped his fists, "Our prince has the latest news about Miss Chu. Please move over for an interview!"
When Mai Xiang saw that it was Ah Xuan, she immediately felt relieved and said anxiously: "Your prince really has news about Aunt Chu? Where is it? Take us there quickly!"
Although Jin Yu felt a little reluctant at the moment, finding out the news about Chu Yiqing was a big deal, so she had no choice but to reluctantly follow Ah Xuan towards the end of the town with Mai Xiang.
