Chu Li said with a smile, "After the death of the late emperor, the emperor's uncle originally lived in the Jiangnan fiefdom. At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne and had too many things to do. After he stabilized the government, the emperor's uncle had become the local emperor of Jiangnan.
Already."
"……"you do not say.
Chu Yutian didn't look like a straw bag. The emperor could subdue all the ministers in the court. Of course, he could also take advantage of those few years to take Jiangnan into his pocket.
"Jiangnan is rich and full of business people. Originally, almost one-third of Tiansheng's taxes came from Jiangnan. The emperor's uncle is not stupid and will not wait for others to deal with him. He also has money, so he recruits troops privately.
,accumulate strength.”
"When the emperor turned around to deal with him, he realized that the emperor's uncle was no longer a being that he could easily shake. In the end, he had no choice but to send an imperial edict to the emperor's uncle in the capital, where he established a good reputation for him.
The palace is both surveillance and house arrest in disguise."
"What can King Yu do?"
Chu Li chuckled, "Otherwise, why do you think he has been so domineering and cruel these years?"
"..." Got it! King Yu is cruel to the point of being cruel, and the things he did probably also had the element of venting his emotions.
Little Xingxing noticed how Chu Li addressed the two people. He called the emperor, not the father, but Chu Yutian, but the emperor's uncle. She recalled that when she saw Chu Yutian for the first time in Cining Palace, Chu Li
Also with him.
She blinked, "You have a good relationship with Prince Yu?"
Chu Li slowly ate all the noodles in the bowl, "I can only say that he and I have no conflict of interest."
"……"Too.
It is estimated that no one takes this "sick young man" Chu Li seriously.
During the time that Little Xingxing was in the palace, she had already briefly understood the situation of the royal family. She knew that there were only four adult princes in the royal family now. Perhaps she had learned the lesson from the previous emperor who did not establish a heir early, but the current emperor had already
He established his eldest son as the crown prince.
It's just that the prince Chu Xuanye has suffered from asthma since he was a child and is weak, so now the court is divided into two factions, one is the supporters of the prince, and the other is the supporters of King Jiang Chu Yichen.
Chu Mohan and the prince are brothers, and their interests are tied together.
Only Chu Li struggled to survive in the cracks between the two forces.
My mother died young, my father didn't care about me, and at such an old age, I didn't even have a wife, and there was no one around me who knew how to be warm and cold... It sounds very pitiful.
He probably didn't want to join in the fight for the legitimate son, so he kept pretending to be sick and weak.
Little Xingxing looked at him with eyes filled with love and affection.
Chu Li couldn't laugh or cry.
"Sympathize with me?"
Little Xingxing was very honest, "A little bit."
"..." Little Xingxing gave him a piece of meat, "I still have a question. Rumors say that you are a wife-suppressant. Are you really a wife-suppressant, or is it because someone doesn't want you to marry a wife, so you are a wife-suppressant?"
Chu Li's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled, "What do you think?"
"The latter."
"How can I see it?"
Little Xingxing glanced at him sideways, "If it weren't for the latter, how could you explain so many poisons on your body?
It’s impossible to just take poison and eat it like candy.”
Chu Li chuckled.
When he saw Little Xingxing for the first time, he knew that she was different from him. Her eyes were as clean and clear as spring water. She seemed kind and harmless. Kindness was really kind, but harmless but not really harmless.
She is very smart, and sometimes she can deduce the general situation of the matter from some fragmentary clues without being reminded.
She is the kind of woman who knows the world but is not worldly. She does not overestimate the human heart, but she does not underestimate human nature either.
He has always been curious.
I don’t know what kind of parents can raise a child with her temperament.
"The prince vomited blood today."
"..." Little Xingxing was stunned for a moment. She thought a few times and understood what Chu Li meant. "I will be careful."
Chu Li chuckled.
Talking to smart people saves trouble.
When the prince vomits blood, the most anxious people are the princelings. Once the prince dies, King Jiang Chu Yichen will be the biggest beneficiary.
But the princelings are not completely helpless.
Chu Mohan was also his legitimate son, and he had made military exploits and was highly regarded by the Holy Emperor.
If the prince dies, the princelings will definitely support Chu Mohan. Of course, the problems she can think of can also be thought of by King Jiang.
so.
In the next period of time, Prince Jing's Mansion will probably be very uneasy.
King Jiang will definitely find a way to deal with Chu Mohan, either by finding his faults and making him fall out of favor in front of the emperor, or by finding ways to cause trouble for him and make enemies for him, or... he may directly kill him.
And she.
As Chu Mohan's princess, maybe King Jiang would have his mind set on her.
Little Star sighed.
"A princess is also a high-risk profession."
If I had known if I had been more firm in the palace last time, maybe the reconciliation would have been successful now, and there would have been no such troubles.
"I have some people..." "No need."
Little Xingxing didn't even think about it, she interrupted him directly and refused his kindness, "There's no need to find someone to protect me. I won't involve you when the time comes."
After thinking about it, she asked Chu Li, "How is Chu Mohan's martial arts?"
"Very impressive."
"Compared with you?"
"I haven't fought before, so I'm not sure."
Chu Li thought for a while, "I am better than him in Qinggong, so I should be faster than him, but he has been honed on the battlefield, so his strength should be better than mine."
Little Xingxing asked more bluntly, "Let's put it this way, are masters like you and Chu Mohan everywhere in your place, or should we say that you are also masters among masters."
"Everywhere?"
Chu Li raised his brows, "Do you think you're just a cabbage?
In a single fight, there are no more than five people in the entire martial arts world who can defeat me or Chu Mohan."
"..." Little Xingxing instantly felt comfortable.
So she couldn't beat Chu Mohan not because she was too weak, but because her opponent was too strong.
She instantly had a rough understanding of the combat power of this era. She waved her hand and said confidently, "As long as I don't encounter a pervert who can kill me with one move, I should have no problem protecting myself."
Even for masters like Chu Li and Chu Mohan, as long as they don't know her details and are not prepared for her, she is still confident that they can subdue each other through crooked ways.
While speaking, Chu Li suddenly glanced in the direction of the hanging flower door. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Someone is coming, I'll leave first."
"Um."
Chu Li patted the wheelchair, and it flew into the air. After a few bounces, it disappeared from sight.
As soon as he left, Little Xingxing heard Lu'er's deliberately raised voice in front of Chuihua Gate, "I'm here to see you, Your Majesty."
"Where's the princess?"
"The princess is having dinner in the courtyard."
"Um."
Immediately afterwards, Little Xingxing heard Chu Mohan's footsteps entering the yard. She quickly hid the dishes and chopsticks used by Chu Li. As soon as she hid them, Chu Mohan entered the yard.
"..." Little Xingxing was speechless.
What's his situation now? Why does he have to come to her every day?
