Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

Chu Yunyi looked like a concubine, he hurriedly wanted to grab the emperor's foot for help, but the emperor pushed his hand away indifferently.

"Father! Just based on the one-sided words of these people, how can we conclude that my son has committed such a crime?" Chu Yunyi said loudly, "Maybe someone deliberately tried to drive a wedge between our father and son?"

"Either Yan State! Or the Xiongnu!" Thinking of this, Chu Yunyi seemed to grasp the last straw, and said sharply, "It must be that the two countries are evil-minded! They used such means to separate you and my father and son. The relationship between them is to stir up internal disputes in our Chu country, so they can take advantage of it!"

There is indeed some truth in what Chu Yunyi said.

The eyes of some veterans were full of entanglement, while some had already got up to plead with the emperor.

Among them was Old General Pei.

Old General Pei said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what the crown prince said is not unreasonable. It is better to ground the crown prince first, and then investigate the matter thoroughly."

"If the prince really did it, then he committed such a crime of killing his father and should be hanged, but if it was really done by the Yan Kingdom and the Huns, then the root cause should be cleared up and those who colluded with the enemy country should be caught. !"

Old General Pei opened his mouth, and many people who were originally shaken began to think.

And Pei Anlin also stepped forward at this moment, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be investigated clearly, so it is really inappropriate to convict so hastily."

Seeing this, the emperor secretly squeezed the armrest tightly.

I didn't expect my plan to be disturbed by the people of the Pei family again. Did they do it on purpose, or did they really think about the stability of the Chu State?

Before the emperor could think for too long, half of the people in the hall had knelt down, asking the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Seeing such a situation, Chu Yunyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With these ministers around, at least he has saved his life now.

The emperor took a deep breath in his heart, and immediately agreed to everyone's request: "Everything you love said is very true. This assassination is full of weirdness. It is true that the prince should not be convicted for this."

"What's more..." The emperor glanced at Chu Yunyi with complicated eyes, "I don't want to believe that the prince is such a vicious person!"

"That's right!" Old General Pei quickly echoed, "Although the crown prince is a little moderate, his filial piety to the emperor is still sufficient. He must not be able to do such a thing as killing his father."

General Pei's words made the emperor's face turn cold.

But no one dared to face the emperor, the expression on his face was not seen by others after all.

The emperor coughed lightly, nodded and said: "In that case, then first imprison the prince in the East Palace, and make a decision after the truth of this matter is investigated."

"Emperor Shengming!"

Everyone saluted one after another, and the emperor felt uncomfortable.

He originally wanted to justifiably abolish Chu Yunyi's position as the crown prince, and then establish the crown prince for Concubine Chen's child. A prince who is still in his infancy is easier to manipulate than Chu Yunyi. Thinking of killing a Pei family halfway!

Thinking of this, the emperor felt a little worried, but the dissatisfied expression on his face was misunderstood by others as dissatisfaction with Chu Yunyi, and there was no doubt that today's assassination was directed and performed by the emperor himself.

Those assassins were already covered in bruises, the emperor said to Zheng Li: "Take these assassins down for interrogation, and we must find out their masters behind the scenes!"

"Yes!" Zheng Li replied immediately.

But the moment he raised his head, he saw the killing intent in the emperor's eyes.

Zheng Li understood the emperor's intention, he nodded slightly, and personally escorted these assassins out.

Seeing this, the emperor felt a little more relaxed.

With so many courtiers requesting a thorough investigation of this matter, including big families like the Pei family, Huang family, and Xu family, he must not keep these people.

The only way to let Zheng Li move his hands and feet is to let these people die without anyone noticing. In this way, there will be no proof of death.

And those forbidden soldiers...

The emperor's eyes darkened, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

After Chu Yunyi heard what he had done, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, if his suspicion is not cleared for a day, he will be trapped in the East Palace forever. In this way, what is the difference between him and a useless person?

Thinking of this, his heart became anxious. He tried to ask General Pei and others for help, but these people all lowered their heads, and none of them met his gaze.

The emperor seemed to have his eyes closed, but he saw Chu Yunyi's small movements clearly from above, and after seeing the actions of Old General Pei and others, he felt a little satisfied in his heart.

"Okay." The emperor waved his hand, "Today's birthday banquet can't go on. If you are free, you can all go back."

He walked in without interest, and the queen mother also walked outside with a cold face.

At this time, the Empress Dowager's heart was already filled with anger, she squeezed the handkerchief tightly, every wrinkle on her face contained anger.

She raised her foot and was about to walk in the direction of the East Palace, but at this moment Li Dehai appeared without anyone noticing.

"Empress Dowager, if you go to see His Highness the Crown Prince at this time, in case something happens again... Even if it's Old General Pei and the others interceding again, I'm afraid it won't work."

Li Dehai's gloomy reminder fell into the ears of the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother extremely annoyed.

She squeezed her hands tightly, and asked through gritted teeth: "Could it be that the Ai family can't even visit their grandson? What about the emperor? Let the emperor come out and talk to the Ai family!"

Hearing this, Li Dehai shook his head, and said slowly: "The empress dowager, it's not a slave who is making trouble with the emperor unreasonably, it's really... It's really the emperor who is thinking of you and His Royal Highness!"

"Now the suspicion of His Highness the Crown Prince has not been cleared away. If you go to see His Highness the Crown Prince, and a few assassins pop up at that time, wouldn't it make it difficult for the Emperor?"

"The emperor is unwilling to take the life of His Highness the Crown Prince, after all, it is his own child..."

"That's not necessarily true!" The Empress Dowager sneered, her eyes filled with anger, "The Ai family gave birth to the emperor, how can you not know what the emperor thinks?"

"Tell the emperor, don't think that the Ai family doesn't know that what he made today is to pave the way for the son of the demon concubine!" The queen mother gritted her teeth and left with the entourage behind her.

Li Dehai's expression remained the same, but when he went in to report to the emperor, a bit of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Looking at the empress dowager's meaning, it seems that you know that everything today was done by you." Li Dehai sighed, "What should I do?"

"The queen mother is a smart person, she knows what to do." Hearing this, the emperor's face was light.

Seeing this, Li Dehai secretly raised a heart in his heart, looking at the emperor's appearance, it seemed that he didn't even care about the empress dowager.

At this moment, a court lady ran in with a happy face and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is awake!"

Hearing this, the emperor immediately stood up.

It's not that he loves the child in Concubine Chen's womb, but because of what Zheng Tianshi did before, which left a deep impression on him.

A child with his immortal blood must be more useful than those previous children, right?

He has always been used to leaving a way out for himself. Although all the methods of Chen Daochang are very useful now, what if there is an accident?

It is precisely because of this that the emperor attached great importance to the child in the womb of Concubine Chen.

The emperor walked into the bedroom with a happy face, who knew that what he faced was not Concubine Chen's smiling face, but Concubine Chen's tear-stained face.

"Your majesty!" Concubine Chen threw herself into the emperor's arms when she saw the emperor, and said sadly, "The concubine is really... really scared!"

"Don't be afraid." When the emperor is in a good mood, he is always extra tolerant towards a beauty like Concubine Chen, especially Concubine Chen is pregnant with a child he values ​​most.

He patted Concubine Chen's shoulder lightly, and comforted him: "I'm here, no one dares to hurt you."

Speaking of this, the tears in Concubine Chen's eyes could no longer be held back, and she burst into tears, "I never thought that the Crown Princess would be such a vicious person!"

"The child in Chenqie's womb is less than three months old, and she is so impatient to get rid of the child in Chenqie's womb! Fortunately, Chenqie was lucky enough to keep the child, otherwise... Chenqie really doesn't know what to do. How did you explain to the emperor!"

Concubine Chen was crying while telling her grievances.

The emperor still had a fatherly and caring look just now, but suddenly it became cloudy: "Did the princess push you?"

"It's her!" Concubine Chen nodded quickly, "I don't know where the concubine offended her! She actually acted so cruelly! Fortunately, the county magistrate of Changning helped the concubine in time, otherwise...the concubine would...just... ..."

Concubine Chen was speechless, only choked up.

Her appearance made the emperor feel pity and anger at the same time.

"What a princess! Good!" The emperor laughed angrily, "So they came up with this idea!"

The expression on the emperor's face became completely gloomy, Concubine Chen swallowed secretly, her body was trembling slightly, but because of her expression at the moment, this trembling could only reflect the panic in her heart, the emperor had no doubts at all.

"Go and invite the eldest princess and Changning County Lord." The emperor said coldly to Li Dehai, "Don't forget that there is also the Crown Princess! Didn't she keep saying that she wanted to confront the Changning County Lord after Concubine Chen woke up? Let them all come over!"

Concubine Chen's face became even paler when she heard the words "Princess Concubine".

Her behavior will only make the emperor feel more pity.

"Don't worry." The emperor patted her on the shoulder and said, "With me here, no one can hurt you!"

Gu Qingqiu had been waiting in the side hall all this time, with the eldest princess present, she dared not speak sarcasticly, but her indifferent posture was enough to show that she had the chance to win.

At this time, Gu Qingqiu still didn't know what happened in the hall.

Gu Ning already knew about today's arrangement, and felt pity for Gu Qingqiu.

Gu Qingqiu's schemes were calculated, but he couldn't figure out that the emperor's heart was so vicious that he even wanted to eradicate his own son.

Gu Qingqiu has been waiting for Gu Ning to show a panicked look, but to her disappointment, Gu Ning still has that arrogant look, and even has the leisure to find fault with the tea made by the maid.

She endured and endured, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a ball by her.

Fortunately, at this time, she finally waited for the dawn.

"Eldest Princess Jin'an." Li Dehai stepped forward with a smile, and bowed respectfully to the eldest princess. After getting a slight nod from the eldest princess, he stood up and looked at Gu Qingqiu.

"Eldest princess, the emperor invites you to go over there." Li Dehai said something, and looked at Gu Qingqiu, "The concubine Chen is already awake."

When Gu Qingqiu heard the news, a little joy appeared on his face.

On the other hand, Gu Ning walked towards the outside with his head held high: "Grandmother! Let's go! The emperor will definitely restore my innocence!"

When speaking, Gu Ning's tone was full of admiration for the emperor.

The eldest princess suppressed the smile in her eyes, and nodded lightly: "Let's go."

Not to be outdone, Gu Qingqiu also strode out.

She was sure that Concubine Chen would definitely choose to stand on her side, so she was confident.

However, when she walked out of the side hall, she felt several strange eyes. Is it sympathy?

Gu Qingqiu was puzzled, and raised his eyelids to look at the palace servants who sprinkled water.

These people immediately lowered their heads, each of them looked flustered, Gu Qingqiu wanted to question, but thinking of what happened next, she had no choice but to suppress her anger.

Pick them up later!

Gu Qingqiu thought viciously in his heart.
