The emperor put his hand on his heart to block the tears.
When Chu Xiurong was killed, he had just noticed his son.
At that time, the princes were growing up, and for the first time, he noticed that other children besides Jin Rong had beautiful and agile looks, were good at reading, and were good at riding and shooting. Their eyebrows and eyes were even more handsome than the prince's.
Very calm.
He couldn't help but stay with Xiu Rong, but not long after, something happened.
When the accident first happened, he really didn't know that it was the Crown Prince Jinrong who did it, but he quickly found out that it was the Queen's hands and feet. The Queen was very stupid, and she was full of loopholes and unscrupulous in causing harm to others. At first, he wanted to punish the Queen, but he didn't do it again.
Upon further investigation, I found out that this was full of loopholes, and it was actually because the queen was covering up for the prince again——
Before he had time to think about how to face this matter, Jin Rong fell ill. He had a high fever and talked nonsense. He only said one sentence over and over again: Father, don't let me go. Father, don't abandon me. I'm afraid. I'm afraid.
His heart softened.
Jinrong was still a child and had always monopolized his father's love. Suddenly his father's attention was taken away by other brothers. It was normal for him to be afraid, especially since he was told about the disputes between the princes and the former emperor's brothers since he was a child. Those who had the same blood flow
The blood brothers are so terrible - it's not Jinrong's fault, it's his fault.
He comforted Jin Rong and loved Xiu Rong even more. He began to let Jin Rong have more contacts with other princes, letting Jin Rong know that in addition to being the prince, he was also an elder brother. He should not be afraid of these brothers and should be respectful to each other.
——
He really felt that he had done a good enough job, but he didn't expect that the hatred in Chu Xiurong's heart had been hiding and accumulating, and it turned into this.
"Father," Chu Xiurong said softly, "What I hate is not the prince or the queen, but actually you."
Therefore, today's scene is revenge against the emperor.
The emperor was angry and endlessly sad. He wanted to say something, such as I was wrong, but there was blood in his throat.
"Father is wrong about this matter." A voice sounded in the hall.
Everyone looked towards the door again. Chu Yurong was still wearing a mask, and no one could see his face and expression.
"But Chu Xiurong, you are even more wrong."
Chu Xiurong looked at him: "Yes, I know what I did was wrong."
"Isn't it wrong for you to do this?" Chu Yurong's voice was cold, "If you have a grudge, just go out and take revenge. Why hurt innocent people? Look at this scene today -"
Chu Xiurong wanted to scan the hall, but Chu Yurong spoke again.
"I didn't tell you to look here. There are seven or eight people in a big hall here. What's there to see! Look outside -" he shouted, "You know clearly that the old King Qi has different intentions, but you are still seeking skin from a tiger. For your own personal grudges, you made the emperor sick.
It destabilized the country, led to Xiliang's invasion, border crises, Jin Yao's adventures, and the death of civilian officials, military officers, soldiers and people!"
The gentle smile on Chu Yurong's face disappeared: "I'm not only sorry for the border soldiers and people, I'm also sorry for you, general. I even harmed you back then." He looked at Chu Yurong, "The reason why you suddenly died of illness at that time was because you knew that I
It was a plan, so I just went along with the situation and pretended to have died of illness."
Was there such a thing at that time? The emperor looked over.
Chu Yurong didn't talk about it at all, and just said: "No one can forgive me. You don't need to tell me this, and I don't care."
"You don't care, it's because you are generous." Chu Xiurong laughed at himself, "You are right, I was wrong, I am a ruthless person."
"Wrong." Chu Yurong said, "You are not heartless, you are wrong because you are too affectionate."
Passionate? People in the palace couldn't help but look around. Among the dead and wounded on the ground, is Chu Xiurong still a lover?
Even Chu Xiurong was a little surprised.
"You are too affectionate." Chu Yurong looked at him with a cold face, "You care too much about whether your father likes you or not, whether he loves you or not. All you have in mind is your father, and you long for him to love, cherish and protect you. Do you think you
Do you want your father to regret doting on Jin Rong today? No, you want him to regret not doting on you."
Chu Xiurong's face turned pale and her eyes were dull. Is that so? So that's it.
"Is it necessary to care so much about people who don't like you? Is it so important if your efforts are not rewarded?" Chu Yurong's voice came next, "Is it necessary to care about whether those who don't like you are happy or miserable?
, is it necessary to work hard and blood for them? Are you born to live for someone? Especially those who don't like you, do you live for them? "
Those who don't like you - Chu Xiurong stood there, looking at the fifth prince in the pool of blood at his feet, looking at Chu Jinrong who was still glued to the screen, and finally looked at the emperor.
For some reason, Chu Xiurong felt that his father's face was a little strange. Maybe after so many years, what he saw in his eyes was still the same father who smiled at him and stretched out his hand, picked him up and put him on the horse.
"Axiu, don't be afraid. Father is watching you. You won't fall off your horse."
He thought that his father liked him at that time and would always like him, so he refused to accept the fact that his father did not like him.
Chu Xiurong smiled sadly and covered his face with his hands.
Concubine Xu, who had been silent all this time, cried out, stretched out her arms and hugged him, "Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu."
"Chu Yurong." The emperor's voice was deep, "You are so majestic and majestic here to point out and judge others - why don't you talk about yourself! You can see clearly and understand people's hearts, so what did you do?
?”
Chu Yurong didn't hesitate at all and said: "I didn't do anything. I am an iron-faced general. You have already agreed with my father that I am no longer a son, but just a minister. As a minister, I regard you as your Majesty."
Seriously, I won’t do anything you don’t allow if you don’t speak up, and I won’t harm the people you want to protect. As for what Prince Chu Xiurong and others are doing, that’s His Majesty’s family matter.
As long as they do not endanger the stability of the country, I will look on with cold eyes."
The emperor sneered: "Okay, okay, you Chu Yurong." With these words, the dull pain in his heart turned into a mouthful of blood.
The hall was filled with exclamations of surprise for a moment.
"Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Jin Zhong supported the emperor, and Zhou Xuan also squeezed away the secret guards and stood beside the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I will take him down for you——"
The emperor waved them away, pointed at Chu Yurong and shouted: "You said you didn't do anything, then I ask you, what are you doing here today? Don't say that you can't see the danger at the border, or to protect the country,
If you were here to protect and control chaos, why wait until today!"
Chu Yurong said calmly: "Of course I am here today for the sake of the throne."
The throne!
The emperor laughed loudly: "Okay, you should just do it. The prince harmed me, not because of the throne, but because he blamed me for forcing him. As Xiu harmed me, because he said he was passionate about me and made me regret it, or you were upright and honest,
That's right, isn't it just for the throne? Talking such a lot of nonsense!"
"So what if it's for the throne?" Chu Yurong said, gently turning the heavy bow in his hand, "Today's princes in Daxia, the prince is ruthless and stupid, Chu Murong is dead, and King Yan——"
As he spoke, his iron-faced gaze looked at King Yan.
King Yan was so frightened that he almost crawled under the body of the secret guard again. King Lu didn't need to point to himself, so he shouted: "I don't want to, I don't want to."
Chu Yurong let out a laugh, dropped his heavy bow, and stopped mentioning King Yan and King Lu.
"Except for me, no one can take on this country." He said, looking at the emperor, "Including you, Your Majesty."
These words were so outrageous and unprecedented that the emperor's eyes widened and he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, okay." He pointed at Chu Yurong, "We are all mediocre people, and we are all ridiculous in your eyes. You are ruthless and loveless. Since you are here for the throne, what about other people and things?
I don’t even care anymore—Mo Lin!”
With this shout, Mo Lin swung the knife in his hand and slashed at the screen behind the throne. With a bang, the exquisite and wide screen was broken, and Chu Jinrong who was nailed to it also fell down. Behind the cracked screen
A woman is revealed.
She was tied and sitting on her knees, with a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth. Her face was white and her almond-shaped eyes were wide as she looked at the man in armor and mask standing at the door.
Mo Lin's knife cut off the screen, then fell on her shoulder, and the blade was aimed at her slender and smooth neck.
"Of course I know that Mo Lin is no match for you." The emperor's voice was cold, "I asked Mo Lin to come out not to deal with you, Chu Yurong, Mo Lin can't defeat you, but he can still kill someone in front of you.
