Hearing the eldest princess's words, Gu Qingqiu, who was standing silently by the side, suddenly felt a little uneasy.
She subconsciously looked towards the Eldest Princess, but the Eldest Princess didn't even bother to give her a serious look, leaving only the back of her head.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingqiu became more and more sure of his guess.
She immediately said: "Father, my son is willing to stay with the Eldest Princess."
Hearing what the two said, the emperor felt extremely annoyed when he saw that the two were not forgiving, and said in an annoyed voice: "Okay! Don't you listen to my order? I said it, and you all back down!"
"If there are any more disobedient..." the emperor said coldly, "then don't blame me for being rude!"
The eldest princess snorted coldly and left with a flick of her sleeves.
Gu Qingqiu still wanted to say something, but she was stunned after meeting the emperor's sullen eyes. She quickly lowered her head, walked out without saying a word.
In the blink of an eye, only the emperor and Daoist Chen were left awake.
After a while, the emperor said in a deep voice, "Chen Daochang, please pay more attention."
Chen Daochang nodded naturally, but after looking at the emperor, he intentionally reminded: "The emperor is the real dragon emperor, and the dragon aura on his body can make all evil spirits retreat, and the soul of the concubine Chen may also..."
The emperor was not angry because of Chen Daochang's words. On the contrary, he felt that Chen Daochang, an envoy sent from heaven, said that he was the real dragon emperor, and he was complacent in his heart.
So, he nodded slowly: "In that case, then I will go to the front hall to deal with those assassins first."
Chen Daochang brushed the dust with his fingers and watched the emperor leave.
Li Dehai also left following the emperor's footsteps, and there were only Chen Daochang and Concubine Chen in the hall.
"Concubine Chen, everyone is gone, so you don't have to pretend anymore."
Chen Daochang spoke lightly, and the "comatose" concubine Chen squeezed her palms, and heard Chen Daochang say: "Poverty Daoist has a letter from Changning county magistrate in his hand."
Hearing this, Concubine Chen immediately opened her eyes.
She looked at Chen Daochang in surprise, but saw Chen Daochang stretched out a hand, and the letter was in his hand.
Concubine Chen hesitated, wondering if she should accept the letter.
And Chen Daochang said in a deep voice: "Time is short, if you hesitate any longer, I'm afraid you will miss the best opportunity."
"How did you meet Changning County Lord..." Concubine Chen was about to open her mouth to ask, but when she saw Daoist Chen's cold face, she immediately swallowed the question in her heart.
No matter what reason Daoist Chen is willing to help Gu Ning, it shouldn't be her business!
Concubine Chen has already understood this truth after being made difficult by Gu Qingqiu. In the harem and court, she and Zheng Li are no match for these scheming people!
So Concubine Chen immediately took the letter and read it at a glance.
However, after reading the contents of the letter, her face involuntarily became stiff, and her inner anxiety made her heart beat like thunder: "I really want to do this? But Gu Qingqiu will definitely expose me on the spot!"
"As long as you strike first, the emperor will definitely stand by your side." Daoist Chen said slowly, "Concubine Chen, success or failure depends on how you decide."
"Or, do you want to help Gu Qingqiu?"
Chen Daochang's words were calm, but it made Concubine Chen smell that dangerous breath.
She shuddered, and said without thinking: "Of course I will always stand by the county lord's side!"
After saying this, she said again: "The county lord asked me to do this, I have nothing to say!"
"In this case, then the poor Taoist will go and report to the emperor, saying that your soul has been summoned, empress." Daoist Chen glanced at Concubine Chen again, then turned and left.
Concubine Chen only felt that she had been seen through by Chen Daochang.
She flinched in her heart, and quickly stabilized her emotions.
And the letter in her hand was also thrown into the incense burner by her, and she didn't lie back on the bed until seeing the letter was burned to ashes.
At the same time, in the main hall outside, a few assassins were tied up, staring at the emperor with rebellious eyes, their faces were full of hatred.
Even knowing that this was deliberately pretended by them, the emperor couldn't help but feel stagnant.
"Say!" The emperor slammed the teacup on the table and made a loud noise, just like his momentum at this time, "Who sent you here?"
These "assassins" who were caught were all heinous death row prisoners found in the sky prison. It was Zheng Li who promised to take care of their families, so they were willing to cooperate with Zheng Li to perform such an act, and the real assassin He had already changed into the clothes of the imperial army and returned to his normal position.
Several death row prisoners twisted their necks, and their eyes were quite disdainful: "You dog emperor is fatuous and unreasonable. We have long disliked you for wasting people and money for those palaces! You are no different from the last emperor of the previous dynasty! It's just us The brothers were unlucky and failed to kill you completely!"
"Foolish Lord! Bah!"
They acted so vividly that the spit of saliva almost splashed on the emperor's face.
The emperor was so angry that his face turned blue. This was not acting, but he was really angry.
"Come here!" the emperor gritted his teeth, "Execution!"
Zheng Li stepped forward immediately, a pair of torture instruments were all ready, and all the [-] moves in the prison were listed here, just waiting for them.
The ministers, wives and other female relatives sitting on both sides all turned pale.
They all knew that the emperor made such a move on purpose to warn them and tell them what would happen if they betrayed him!Some ministers who had secretly defected to the younger crown prince detected a trace of abnormality through their keen political sense.
Chu Yunyi frowned, he was still thinking about Gu Qingqiu, for some reason, when he was connected with the emperor's actions today, great fear emerged in his heart.
At this time, the imperial army had already handcuffed the torture tools to several assassins.
The iron tongs had already turned red from the fire, and the imperial guards directly scalded an assassin with the hot charcoal between them.
With a sound of "Zi La", the sound of meat being roasted sounded in the hall, making one's scalp tingle and one's hair stand on end.
Some timid people were so frightened that their eyes turned black, but they didn't dare to lose their composure in front of the emperor, so they could only stare forward.
As torture tools were used on the assassins one after another, some timid civil servants and wives finally couldn't help but fainted.
At this moment, a thin assassin said in an erratic voice: "I'll do it! I'll do it!"
"Third! You..."
"what!"
The boss, who originally wanted to stop the third child from revealing the person behind the scenes, was burned by the hot charcoal again, and the severe pain made him speechless for a while.
It was at this time that the third child's weak voice sounded: "I say! I say everything!"
The third child trembled, and said in a low voice: "It's the prince! It was His Royal Highness who asked us to assassinate the emperor!"
Chu Yunyi, who was suddenly called, was stunned, and then a chill rose behind his back, he said sharply: "You are talking nonsense! I am loyal to my father, how can I do such a thing?"
The third child trembled in fright when Chu Yunyi glared at him angrily.
But soon, a look of anger appeared in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Why do we brothers work so hard, and you still want to be that shrinking turtle?"
"You enjoy the glory and wealth behind your back, and you don't even bat an eye when you watch our brothers suffer and suffer! Big brother! He is so cruel, why do we have to work for him?"
The third child's voice full of indignation resounded in the hall.
"Your majesty, if you don't believe me, our brothers still have a letter from the prince! It was the prince who arranged for us to come here!"
As he spoke, he crawled towards the emperor.
The emperor's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Chu Yunyi coldly.
As the emperor saw it, the sweat on Chu Yunyi's back had already soaked his clothes.
He didn't have time to think about it, and quickly knelt down on the ground: "Father! You must not listen to the nonsense of these people! Why did I assassinate you? I am the prince, and you have given me all the honor and favor you deserve. , I don't want to draw anything!"
"You guys talk nonsense!" Chu Yunyi said, kicking the third child.
The third child had already been punished, and his body was already at the end of his strength. After being kicked by Chu Yunyi, he flew several feet away, and finally spat out a glaring mouthful of blood with a "wow", and passed out.
"Your Highness! It was you who said it back then!" The boss who had suffered more than a dozen punishments and remained silent, with red eyes, said loudly, "Say it! The prince is a prince after all! There is still a mountain on his head! Only Only by overturning this mountain can you become a real master!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall.
The emperor laughed softly: "Prince, so in your heart, Zhen is the mountain you can't wait to eradicate?"
"No!" Chu Yunyi sternly said, "Royal Father, I have never thought of that! I only respect and love you! I never thought of replacing you!"
Of course he had thought about it, but now that he was in danger of protecting himself, how could he attack the emperor?
Seeing the suspicion in the emperor's eyes, Chu Yunyi was even more anxious, desperately trying to explain something, trying to make the emperor believe in him again.
However, when these assassins turned their backs one after another, all their testimony pointed to Chu Yunyi, and the current Chu Yunyi really couldn't argue with it.
His eyes were red, like a mad beast: "Father! You have to trust me, Father! I really have never done these things! I don't know any of these assassins!"
Chu Yunyi, who couldn't argue with one hundred words, was talking in a confused manner, and his expression was extremely frightened.
However, except for those who knew the truth, no one believed his words.
Although the emperor is old, he doesn't know what good things he got from Chen Daochang, and he has rejuvenated overnight. Chu Yunyi has a child, so why is he willing to wait forever?Besides, the physical fitness of the emperor is enough to allow the concubines to conceive dragon fetuses, and maybe Chu Yunyi will give birth to many emperor brothers.
It is reasonable for Chu Yunyi to be anxious, and it is quite normal to try to assassinate the emperor.
Everyone's eyes showed that they believed the words of these assassins, and Chu Yunyi's expression became even more flustered. He didn't even know where these assassins came from!
But what these assassins said almost made him think that he really did such a thing!Could it be Gu Qingqiu?
A name popped up in Chu Yunyi's mind, and his face became much paler for a while.
It's not like Gu Qingqiu can't do such a crazy thing!
Thinking of this, Chu Yunyi didn't dare to look up at the emperor for a while.
In this way, his crime of sending people to assassinate the emperor was further confirmed!
Chu Yunyi couldn't argue with his words, the emperor sneered a few times in his heart when he saw his appearance.
He knew that his son had something wrong in his heart, otherwise, why would he feel guilty after the panic?I'm afraid it's not the first time he has thought of doing this in his heart!
The emperor was very dissatisfied with Chu Yunyi in his heart, but when he looked at Chu Yunyi, his eyes were quite regretful, and the expression on his face was full of disappointment.
"Yun Yi, so in your eyes, I am such a..."
When the emperor said this, he sighed deeply.
It was as if he devoted himself to cultivating Chu Yunyi, but in the end he found Chu Yunyi disappointed like a wolf's ambition.
Seeing this, Chu Yunyi felt that there was still a glimmer of hope.
He climbed to the emperor's feet and said in a trembling voice, "Father! Father, you have to trust your son!"
Chu Yunyi tried to say something to soften the emperor's heart, but over and over again, he could only say this sentence.
The emperor shook his head in disappointment: "You let me down so much!"
"Pull the crown prince down first!" the emperor said coldly, "Let's go down later!"
She subconsciously looked towards the Eldest Princess, but the Eldest Princess didn't even bother to give her a serious look, leaving only the back of her head.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingqiu became more and more sure of his guess.
She immediately said: "Father, my son is willing to stay with the Eldest Princess."
Hearing what the two said, the emperor felt extremely annoyed when he saw that the two were not forgiving, and said in an annoyed voice: "Okay! Don't you listen to my order? I said it, and you all back down!"
"If there are any more disobedient..." the emperor said coldly, "then don't blame me for being rude!"
The eldest princess snorted coldly and left with a flick of her sleeves.
Gu Qingqiu still wanted to say something, but she was stunned after meeting the emperor's sullen eyes. She quickly lowered her head, walked out without saying a word.
