When Yan Bing went to the capital that had been away for two years, he realized that the once busy and bustling with traffic, the Chu Palace, now the doors are deserted, with dry grass connected to the walls, and a very lonely scene...
It's no wonder...
Now the little emperor also has his own "arsamir" and can create various advanced firearms that far exceed Europa. The existence of the King of Chu has naturally become worthless...
In other words, the King of Chu, who was once in ambition to rebel and was held by the little emperor, is still alive, which is a miracle. So it is inevitable to fall into this field today, and it is also a consequence of his own fault...
But Yan Bing...
Obviously, I don't know the details.
"Dong, dun."
"Princess Kaiyuan Yan Qihua! Come to visit His Highness the King of Chu, please send a message to you..."
After waiting for a long time, no one in the yard responded...
Yan Bing frowned, then stepped forward and knocked on the door again, and reported his identity, but no one answered...
In desperation, he tried to push it gently, and the door of the mansion actually creaked, and she pushed it away. Yan Bing raised his eyebrows, and without thinking too much, he walked in with his little hand on his back, but the more he walked in, the more his little heart... he jumped around...
In the courtyard, there are weeds, the palace and spider webs, and there is almost no trace of sunshine in the already claustrophobic attic. Wherever you see, it looks like a "ghost house", which is shocking...
"What's the matter... Could it be that the King of Chu has moved!?"
Yan Bing wanted to use her own words to make her brave, but it was very effective. After all, her tongue was almost knotted, and the ending sound was still slightly trembling, which only made her sure that she was really scared.
"Is anyone here?!! I am Princess Kaiyuan Yan Qihua!! Come to visit His Highness the King of Chu! If there is no one!! Then I will go back!!”
"Go back-!!"
"Go—!!"
"Oh—!!"
The empty courtyard and the dilapidated hall echoed, and Yan Bing's hair was almost blowing up. He quickly turned around, forced a smile, and walked back towards the mansion...
"No one, forget it if there is no one! I'm not afraid of ghosts, I just don't want to waste my time, who am I?? Princess Kaiyuan Yan Qihua! I'm not afraid of death! Can I be afraid of ghosts..."
"Princess, please stay!!"
"Oh, hahaha!!!!"
With a strange scream, Yan Bing lifted up his skirt and ran away. The person behind him was still chasing him desperately, looking very anxious, shouting loudly: "Don't run away with your princess!! The villain is here to welcome the princess on behalf of His Highness the King of Chu!! You can't get a job after you run away--!!"
"Click--!!"
With a series of sudden brakes, Yan Bing suddenly rubbed it out five or six feet away before he stopped, and the person behind him hurriedly rushed forward and bowed, saying loudly: "Your Highness Princess is so light-hearted! If you keep stopping, the villain will really not be able to catch up with the princess!"
Yan Bing looked closely and saw that this person was no one else, but one of the four guards of the King of Chu. However, Yan Bing could not call the other party's name. He could only smile awkwardly and replied softly: "Yan thought there was no one in the mansion. He was about to leave. Fortunately, you appeared in time, just..."
Yan Bing looked around the desolate scenes around him, and continued to ask with a wry smile: "But the decoration style of King Chu is very natural...it is easy to make people misunderstand..."
When Chiguo heard this, his face turned red and he quickly responded: "Your Highness the Princess is laughing. This is not my Lord intentionally, but... Is there a hidden secret that is hard to say..."
"Oh... it's hard to say? Then I won't ask more questions. Please lead the way forward and have a detailed discussion with Uncle Wang."
"Your Highness Xie is considerate, please please..." Chiguo bowed again while speaking, and compared the "please" posture, and led Yan Bing through the main hall and to the backyard. As the two of them got closer and closer to the backyard, the aura of living people around him gradually increased. Although they still seemed a little messy and a little withered, they were still neat and had no more spider webs and weeds.
It was not until Yan Bing was led into a small courtyard by Chiguo that he saw other living people, but the picture was very "beautiful"... so beautiful that it was ridiculous...
Three stout men who were once extremely glorious were washing dishes, one was holding a feather duster and sweeping away the ashes. Another was holding a wooden basin, with a man's clothes piled up next to him, and was sweating all over his head...
His Highness, sitting in the main room, stroked his messy hair and beards, a slightly dusty white dress, a pair of empty eyes, and a full of scars, looked so desolate...
Seeing this, Yan Bing hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and said loudly: "Niece Yan Qihua, I'm here to pay a visit to Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang has... not very good recently..."
Yan Bing originally wanted to ask about the good things that happened recently, but looking at the scene in front of him, asking this sentence again was like finding trouble and fighting, so he changed his words temporarily. The King of Chu just smiled bitterly and bowed and said, "Princess doesn't have to be polite. As you see, I...is really not good...haha..."
"Why is Uncle Wang like this? After all, he is the dignified His Highness of the King of Chu..."
"That's the old Huangsheng... Haha, please sit down, sit down and chat later." The King of Chu compared the chair beside him, and then shouted outside the door: "Look at the tea!"
"yes!"
Chi Guo responded and hurried to the kitchen and became busy. After a while, he brought two tea bowls, first handed the prince one, and then Yan Bing one, and then he gave it back...
It's all like this... Isn't it just a nonsense??
Yan Bing smiled bitterly and raised the tea bowl, lifting the lid, making him even more stunned...
What?
Highly broken!
What is high-crumbing? It is the tea leaves that are left in the tea shop and soaked in the water. None of them can sink. They all float on the water surface, and a bowl floats full...
So in the TV series, what is the emperor? When the prince drinks tea, he covers the tea with a bowl and turns it over. That's all fooling around! Whoever dares to give the emperor this kind of tea will be pushed to the Caishikou and beheaded. Only poor families will drink this kind of tea foam floating everywhere...
And the prince in front of him... is so lonely without any film and television drama processing... Why didn't Yan Bing sigh...
King Chu looked at Yan Bing holding a bowl and covering the water surface for a while before he could barely take a sip. He couldn't help but sigh and shook his head...
"The princess first came to the residence of Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang... but she could only be so lazy about the princess. It is really my fault, no face... no face..."
"Hey~~ What did Uncle Wang say? Although this tea tastes a little troublesome, the tea taste is far more intense than most good teas, and it is also unique!"
Yan Bing said it was indeed what he said. After all, you think, how can a piece of rock sugar be brewed with sweetness faster than a spoonful of white sugar? This is the same thing as tea leaves. Although it looks indecent and can only be brewed with a first drink, the tea smells so strong that it is better than better tea leaves because it is broken... so it tastes good...
I drank the tea and said compliments, and Yan Bing had to talk about the topic...
"Can Uncle Wang tell the truth about the reason in this? Qihua can know whether he can do his best to share the worries for Uncle Wang..."
Yan Bing had no major feud with the King of Chu. Moreover, even for the sake of Wen Miao and Wen Sheng, their uncles and aunts could not be allowed to fall into such a situation. Therefore, Yan Bing's words were purely from his original intention and had no intention of temptation. The King of Chu himself knew in his heart that he had fallen into this field and naturally he would not have any value in use, so he told him politely.
"Uncle Wang offended the new emperor... his property was confiscated and his salary was stopped. But this is not the emperor. It is only the blame for Uncle Wang himself... he was not strict and even crossed the thunder pool. It is a blessing to be able to live now... I have to thank the emperor for not killing..." The King of Chu smiled bitterly and bowed to the sky, not saying much, but just raised the tea bowl and covered his face with tea...
"Oh... That's it... If it's just a matter of money, it's easy to do!!" Yan Bing took out his purse from his arms as he spoke. He was about to stretch out two, but after thinking about it, he simply put the whole purse on the table and bowed and said loudly: "Qihua didn't bring too much when he went out this time. Only more than 30,000 taels should be with him. Uncle Wang should not be disgusted. After spending it, he can condemn someone to get it from a certain mansion. You and I are both relatives, so please don't be polite..."
"Thirty thousand taels!!!??"
I heard a scream outside the door, and then a riot came!
"Play!"
"Hiss!"
"Bang!"
The plate was also dropped, the coat was pulled, and the wide eyes that were sweeping dust fell off the ladder, but the expressions on the four people seemed to see the God of Wealth, and they couldn't stop smiling. Chi Guo rushed back to the kitchen first. After a while, two bowls of hot tea were brought up again, and he explained with a red face: "This tea... was originally reserved for the prince to drink on his birthday, not because he wanted to hide his own heart, but... there was really not much left in the house... I would like to ask His Royal Highness to punish him!"
"Same punishment! The young man just saw the princess but did not stand up to salute! The young man also has a guilty crime! He deserves punishment! He deserves punishment!"
"There are villains!"
"The young man is willing to receive the punishment! He just slacked off His Highness the Princess! The young man is also wrong!"
Yan Bing looked at the four tender iron men with big arms and round waists, laughed out loud, pointed at the four of them and said to the King of Chu: "Uncle Wang, the so-called true love is seen in times of distress. Although Uncle Wang has suffered, he can get four loyal servants. This is also a blessing in disguise! The niece should use tea instead of wine, and congratulate Uncle Wang on him!!"
"Ah??" The King of Chu was slightly stunned, then he quickly pulled his eyes away from his purse, looked up at the four guards, then waved his hand to Yan Bing and explained: "No, no, no, they are not servants, they are my king's 'family'..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the four great men immediately smiled happily, and their eyes were filled with tears...
"Oh? Is it family?? Well, it's so good! Tea is no longer happy, it's like a white day! Let's go! Tongshun Mingyue Tower! Niece treats you!! Let them call Wen Miao and Wen Sheng too, let's have a good meal!" After Yan Bing said that, he went forward and grabbed the King of Chu's arm, but her real intention... was waiting for the other party's next sentence...
"This...is good! Uncle Wang has received your favor! How can he disturb the interest? But... there are still two people in the family who have not returned. Let Uncle Wang keep a letter at home to avoid worrying about her for nothing..."
"There are two more?" Yan Bing blinked, then said with a sudden enlightenment, "Are they the two uncles of Uncle Wang? Why not wait for them to come back and have been together? It just so happened that I had never met these two uncles, so I will meet them at the banquet today!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on King Chu's face. After looking over and over again, he slowly spoke: "Uncle Wang's two younger brothers... are now living in the palace... I'm afraid... it's difficult to come back and have a drink with Qihua..."
Yan Bing originally intended to point the topic to Su Qing, but unexpectedly he involved another shocking secret! He was stunned for a moment...
The younger brother of the King of Chu... lives in the palace!??
This is clearly a hostage!??
King Chu, King Chu, how much mistake did you make? You were threatened by the little emperor as hostages!??
The King of Chu also saw the doubts on Yan Bing's face at this time, and then smiled bitterly and explained: "Actually, this is good. There are food and clothing in the palace, at least it is better than suffering from my useless brother..."
It would be fine if the King of Chu didn't say this. Once he said this, it would be like to make Yan Bing's guess firm...
Yan Bing slowly let go of the sleeves of King Chu, and the expression on his face changed from the smile just now to a solemn face...
"Uncle Wang... did you have anything to say... I didn't tell Qi Hua the truth..."
The King of Chu then fell into silence...
Seeing this, Yan Bing was not in a hurry to leave. He lifted his skirt and slowly sat down. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sad King of Chu, and his tone became very cold: "The death of the late emperor... it is not related to you..."
"Ah!??" The King of Chu was shocked when he heard this! He waved his hand and said, "How is this possible! Qihua, you can guess something else randomly! This is the only thing! It has nothing to do with Uncle Wang!!"
"Really..."
"I can swear to the heavens!! If the emperor's death has nothing to do with me, I will call me Wu Lei Hongding! I won't die well! If you don't believe it!! I can even swear my sister and brother's life!! Even if I don't make any other things, I have to worry about the relationship between Wensheng and Wen Miao!! Although I am determined to seek the throne, I have no intention after the matter is exposed! As for killing my relatives! My father has not done it! How dare I do it!! You must believe me... I really have to do this..."
When the King of Chu saw Yan Bing's slowly raised his right hand, he stopped the silence in his mouth and looked at her with a worried look. After all, Princess Kaiyuan in front of him was his last life-saving straw. How could he be willing to fill the rift for a false charge...
"So... you have had the intention of rebellion, have rebellion, and were caught by the little emperor and then fell to this point. This...it makes sense."
When the King of Chu heard this, he nodded desperately!
"But the little emperor did not kill you... it can be seen that he... still has some mercy..."
The King of Chu frowned again and nodded gently...
"Then it... I'll go and have a relationship with the little emperor, how about letting him let your two younger brothers come out?"
The King of Chu instantly widened his eyes, grabbed Yan Bing's hands, and his whole body trembled...
"But you... and them... all have to follow me! I heard from Wensheng that you know a lot of words and know very well about Europa. And I... are missing such a helper now, how about it?"
"That's great!! Our prince has many connections in Europa! We will definitely help His Highness the Princess..."
Seeing that his prince could get out of trouble, he hurriedly stepped forward to talk about peace, but the King of Chu raised his hand and stopped his words...
"You... are quite sure..."
The King of Chu looked at Yan Bing's eyes and asked word by word, but his trembling hands and extremely expectant expressions on his face could not hide his excitement at this moment.
"It depends on whether Uncle Wang is anxious. When Qihua left Beijing, the little emperor had come to our mansion twice. If Uncle Wang is anxious, I will beg him. Success should be 70%..."
"What if I'm not in a hurry!"
Although the King of Chu was asking questions without any rush, the anxiety on his face was almost overflowing. How could he not be anxious...
But Yan Bing just smiled, but did not point it out...
"If there is no hurry, when the emperor comes again for the third time, I just need to just lift it up, and it will be successful... it should be 90%..."
"really!!??"
Yan Bing curled his lips, looked at the sky, re-estimated it and replied: "I just said it wrong, it should be...99%..."
