Everyone knew that General Iron Mask was dead, but at this moment no one asked, "Who dares to pretend to be a general!"
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but take a few steps forward and looked at General Iron Mask standing in front of the city gate.
In fact, he is obviously different from the Iron Masked General that everyone is familiar with. He is tall and tall, with jet black hair. At first glance, he looks like a young man. Apart from the armor, the horse, and the mask on his face, there is nothing else that looks like Iron Mask.
General face.
It's really irritating, Chu Yurong, this is too perfunctory, why don't you pretend to be more serious like before.
But what's even more annoying is that even though he knows who the Iron Masked General is under his skin, and even though he sees so many differences, Zhou Xuan still has to admit that when he looks at the man in front of him, he still wants to call him Iron Masked General.
What is familiar and similar is not the appearance, but the smell.
Yes, Chu Yurong, he is the real Iron-faced General. In the past few years, he has always been the Iron-faced General.
"Master Hou!" The general beside him was at a loss, "What should I do?"
Zhou Xuan glanced at him: "It doesn't matter whether he is a human or a ghost. If a ghost wants the imperial city, it needs the emperor's permission." He turned around and left, "You guys guard the city gate! I'll tell your majesty this - the good news."
Your Majesty, the old general you trust most has come back from the dead. Are you happy?
Zhou Xuan walked down the city wall, couldn't help laughing silently, smiled and looked calm again, and took off a dagger from his waist.
He looked down at the dagger. After so many years, this dagger should have gone to where it should have gone.
Zhou Xuan put the dagger into his sleeve and ran towards the majestic palace with large strides.
"Your Majesty - I want to see Your Majesty - something bad is going to happen -"
.....
.....
Many people in the emperor's palace felt bad at this moment.
It was obviously the fifth prince who entered the palace with private soldiers and wanted to kill Chu Xiurong in front of the emperor. It was a heinous crime. But the current scene and what the emperor said, how did it become that the emperor was questioning Chu Xiurong?
"I understand, you don't care about your own life." The emperor nodded, "Just like you don't care about my life, so you let me be murdered by the prince."
The emperor's words became more and more shocking, and the people in the palace stopped breathing.
The fifth prince who was half-kneeling on the ground had forgotten how to cry. He was holding his hand, ecstatic, shocked and confused - he said that Chu Xiurong harmed the prince, his mother, himself and so on. Of course, he just said it casually, to him
Generally speaking, Chu Xiurong's existence was already a harm to them, but I didn't expect that Chu Xiurong would actually hurt them!
Chu Jinrong looked at Chu Xiurong, but he was not overjoyed. The anger in his eyes was even stronger. So it turned out that he had been played by Chu Xiurong?
"You can't say that." Chu Xiurong shook his head, "It was Chu Jinrong's choice to endanger his father's life and it has nothing to do with me."
That's the problem!
"Ah Xiu!" the emperor shouted, "he did this because you were tempting him."
He lay on the bed, unable to move or open his eyes. He watched clearly how Chu Jinrong went from nervousness to relief to enjoyment, then to reluctance, and finally refused to let him wake up——
"That is imperial power." The emperor looked at Chu Xiurong, "No one can withstand this kind of temptation."
Chu Xiurong said softly: "So whether he harms me or you, in your eyes, there is nothing wrong?"
Concubine Xu couldn't help but grabbed Chu Xiurong's hand and stood up: "Your Majesty - you can't do this."
Tears fell from my eyes when I said this.
Concubine Xu often cried, but this time it was real tears.
The emperor closed his eyes on the throne: "I am not saying that he is not wrong, I am saying that you are also wrong! Ah Xiu -" He opened his eyes with a sad face, "How many things have you done? Before
——”
Chu Murong nodded before he could finish the question: "I was the one who brought the Shanghe Village case to light. Also, the reason why Chu Murong came to assassinate me and was caught was because I prepared the arrest in advance.
Live them, but it’s a pity——”
He looked at Chu Jinrong.
"All the prince's people have run away."
This time Chu Jinrong was no longer silent. He looked at Chu Xiurong and shouted angrily: "Axiu, you have been——"
"What have I been doing? Harming you?" Chu Xiurong interrupted him, his voice still gentle, with a smile on his lips, "Your Highness, I have been standing motionless. It's because you can't tolerate me that you've harmed me. It's because you can't tolerate my father.
existence to harm him."
Chu Jinrong said: "I didn't. That Doctor Hu and that eunuch were all bribed by you to frame me!"
It doesn't matter if you overturn what you originally admitted. It's all Chu Xiurong's fault anyway.
The emperor shouted: "Shut up." He looked at Chu Xiurong again, a little tired, "I have figured out the others, but there is one thing that I can't figure out. What's going on with Zhang Yuanjian?"
The emperor pressed his heart. Although he felt that the pain could no longer be hurt, it still hurt every time.
Following his words, the secret guards standing on both sides escorted out another person.
It was Zhang Yuanjing.
Judge Zhang looked calm.
The emperor called Judge Zhang's name: "You are also lying to me. Without you, Asiu would not have been able to do this."
Whether the emperor is sick or not is in the hands of the imperial physician.
Especially Zhang Yuanpan, who has been accompanying the emperor for decades.
Magistrate Zhang nodded: "Yes, His Majesty's illness is caused by the guilty minister."
The emperor looked at him with sad eyes: "Why?"
Judge Zhang kowtowed: "There is no reason. It is my crime that deserves death."
He still refused to say anything. When the emperor wanted to ask again, Chu Xiurong spoke first: "Father, do you still remember Mr. Zhang?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and of course he remembered that Zhang Yuanpian's eldest son was about the same age as the prince. He also grew up in front of him and kept company with the prince. Unfortunately, he fell into the water one year and died of typhoid fever.
"The eldest son fell into the water that time because of the prince." Chu Xiurong glanced at Chu Jinrong.
It must have happened more than twenty years ago, and the emperor couldn't even remember it for a moment.
Chu Jinrong had already shouted angrily: "Gu Ye fell into the water. It was Zhang Lu who suggested playing in the water. He jumped out by himself. Gu Ke didn't pull him. Gu Ye almost drowned. Gu Ye is sick!"
His memory was very clear, and he even claimed to be alone as he was accustomed to at that time.
Chu Xiurong looked at him: "Because you avoided people playing in the water. After you fell into the water, Zhang Lu pushed you to climb to the shore and soaked you in the water so that you could step on it and grab the branches. You are sick."
It was because he was frightened and he contracted typhoid fever."
Chu Jinrong wanted to say something, but the emperor stopped him. He also remembered the matter and the child.
The emperor looked at Judge Zhang: "I am also very sad about Alu's matter. So you have been blaming me for this? Blame me, blame the prince, and let Alu fall into the water?"
Magistrate Zhang still shook his head: "The guilty minister did not blame the Crown Prince or His Majesty. This was all because of Alu's own naughty——"
Then why! Anger appeared on the emperor's face.
"Zhang Yuan did not blame the Crown Prince and his father, but the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince probably blamed A Lu at that time." Chu Xiurong said softly from the side, "I still remember that the Crown Prince was just frightened, and the imperial doctors all diagnosed him.
He just needed a good sleep, but his father and the prince refused to let Dr. Zhang leave. When news came one after another that Alu was sick and seriously ill, they insisted on keeping Dr. Zhang in the palace.
Five days later, Imperial Physician Zhang returned home and met Alu for the last time——"
Hearing what he said, Zhang Yuanpuan, who was originally calm, couldn't help but tremble. Even though many years have passed, he can still think of that moment, his Alu——
The emperor's eyes were a little dazed. Is that to blame? It's been so long that he really can't remember his mood at that time.
Maybe - at that time, if Jinrong was even slightly injured, he would feel like the sky was about to fall.
