The Great Hero [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

The cold poison in Chu Xiao's body has always been the heart disease of Emperor Qing and the Queen Mother. This heart disease has troubled them for more than ten years, but they have never been able to find a way to resolve it.

The reason why the queen mother has no objection to the fact that Chu Xiao and Ye Gucheng are together has a lot to do with it.

Don't look at Chu Xiao as a normal person on weekdays, it seems that his body is relatively weak only when the cold poison attacks, but his actual situation is not optimistic. All the imperial doctors in the palace who treated him finally reported to the Queen Mother and the first emperor It's all the same sentence.

Life is sad to be thirty.

Even with internal strength suppression and medication relief, he may not be able to live beyond 30 years old.

Under such circumstances, as a mother, the Queen Mother's only expectation for Chu Xiao is to be carefree, safe and happy.

Not to mention just finding a male lover, even if Chu Xiao wants to tell the world to marry a same-sex princess, the queen mother will not object, on the contrary, she will do her best to remove all obstacles for Chu Xiao and suppress all opposition sound.

Is this doting?

Indeed it is.

May I ask how many mothers in this world would not spoil their children?

What's more, Chu Xiao has never become too arrogant because of this doting. He respects his parents, loves his elder brother, has a pure heart, and is never ambiguous in front of major events.

Although he also has many shortcomings, such as being mischievous and often doing some troublesome or dumbfounding things, he seems to be much worse than the calm and excellent Emperor Qing.

But the Queen Mother was still proud of him.

Well, her two sons are both very good. Whoever dares to say that they are not good will just make things difficult for her!

Only then did he find out that his little nephew had found a male lover, some couldn't accept it, subconsciously wanted to speak out against Taiping King: "..."

Do it well, I admit it, Queen Mother, can you stop threatening me with a knife?

Seeing that King Taiping didn't even say a word, he was blocked by his mother's "sharp" eyes, with an indescribably aggrieved expression on his face, Chu Xiao, who was sitting next to the queen mother, couldn't help turning his head and snickering.

Hehe, as witty as he is, how could he confess this matter to his old-fashioned Uncle Wang without the backing of the mountain?

King Taiping glanced at Chu Xiao expressionlessly, and decided not to bother with this spoiled brat.

He sat at the head of the Empress Dowager, straightened his back, and asked the Empress Dowager as if asking for advice: "Sister-in-law, how do you think about Yu'er's matter?"

King Taiping has always been grateful to the queen mother, a brother and sister-in-law who is much younger than himself.

So no matter how much he wanted to protect his son in private, as long as the Queen Mother showed any intention of punishing him, he would definitely obey.

After all, if the Queen Mother hadn't secretly helped him back then, not only would he have lost his position as a prince, but his concubine and son... I'm afraid they would have ended up in a tragic end.

"Just relax."

The Empress Dowager naturally understood what King Taiping was thinking, she smiled helplessly, and said lightly: "The son was still young when he ran away from home, and there was a reason for the incident, so there is no need to pursue it. His fault."

King Taiping breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then showed guilt on his face.

He knew in his heart that the matter was not as light as the empress dowager said, it was different from ordinary people, for the royal family, the behavior of the eldest son running away from home was considered very bad.

If you really want to pursue it, a whipping will be a lighter punishment.

Although he felt sorry for his son, King Taiping, who was rarely favoritism in major matters, decided to take the initiative to ask for punishment.

But before he could speak, the Empress Dowager changed the subject.

"Let's put other things aside for now. According to Ai's family, the most troublesome problem for you right now, Emperor Brother, should be how to solve the misunderstanding with the son."

King Taiping: "..."

This topic is a bit troubling.

Chu Xiao's habit of splashing cold water on people must not have been learned from the Queen Mother, right?

However, the heart was pierced, and King Taiping had to admit that this matter really gave him a headache.

Behind Prince Taiping running away from home, there is a very complicated story hidden.

It was so complicated that King Taiping once thought that he would face the danger of his wife and children being separated and his family ruined.

All of this starts with the life experience of the princess——

Twenty-five years ago, not long after the first emperor ascended the throne, there were frequent uprisings by small countries on the northern border, trying to take advantage of the emptiness of Daqing's national power and internal turmoil due to regime change, to cut off a piece of fat from this vast country.

At that time, the DPRK and China were facing the dilemma of not being able to meet the demand.

The older generals were old, and the younger ones were not capable enough. They led a lot more troops than the enemy, but they also retreated steadily, without winning a few battles.

Even treacherous ministers took the opportunity to embezzle military pay regardless of the country's crisis, causing the soldiers stationed at the border to weaken again due to shortage of supplies.

So he loved the art of war since he was a child, and King Taiping, who was determined to defend his home and country, took the initiative to ask Ying to take on this heavy burden.

King Taiping was indeed very talented in leading troops to fight. Under his leadership, the frontier soldiers regained their momentum, regained lost ground one after another, and finally beat the enemy country back to their hometown in one fell swoop.

The princess was saved by him from the fleeing people in the war.

The next development is like a story that often happens in story books. The girl secretly promises the hero who saved her, and the hero also bows down under the girl's skirt.

The two lovers finally successfully formed a husband and wife.

Before getting married, the princess never mentioned her life experience to King Taiping, and King Taiping never pursued it. He thought that his wife was just a folk woman with a rough life experience.

But in fact, the princess is the princess of the enemy country.

Of course, there's no conspiracy involved.

Although she is a princess of a country, the princess is actually not favored. She is even regarded as a commodity that can be exchanged for benefits by her father. In order to gain the support of other forces, she is forced to marry a lustful woman who is already over the age only.

In order to escape this marriage, the princess simply took advantage of her father's defeat to avoid the eyes and ears of the servants, and stayed alone at the border.

Then, she met King Taiping in the chaos.

At that time, King Taiping was full of vigor and high spirits, and he was a very attractive man, who met any young girl's expectations for a good man. Coupled with the kindness of saving his life, it was only natural to fall in love with each other.

The princess really fell in love with King Taiping and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

But after all, she is the princess of the enemy country, and she is afraid that King Taiping will be jealous because of this, and she is also afraid that other people will take the opportunity to slander King Taiping and ruin his reputation.

As a result of selfishness, the princess simply concealed her identity, thinking that as long as she didn't meet people from the old country in the future, she could keep her identity hidden forever.

Until the seventh year of their marriage—

In that year, the border was finally completely stabilized, and King Taiping took his concubine and their six-year-old son back to Beijing to face the saint.

King Taiping made a great contribution, so in addition to rewards, the first emperor naturally had a big banquet to celebrate and reward him.

The concubine is not good at drinking, so she only showed her face briefly during the banquet, and took the son back to the mansion to rest first.

She never expected that this short-lived side exposed the secret she had kept for many years. Nan Wang had a military general who had been a leader at the border for a while before King Taiping invited Ying to station at the border.

He had met the princess' father and the princess herself.

When I went to talk to Wang Hao's father in private.

Although it was only in a hurry, a beautiful woman like the princess still left a deep impression on the general's mind.

After recognizing the identity of the concubine, the military commander did not dismantle it on the spot, but talked to Nan Wang first.

Nanwang has always regarded his siblings as competitors. He did not have the slightest love and care that should be in the family. Instead, he did everything possible to suppress and murder him. Of course, he would not miss this opportunity to make a big fuss.

Not long after, after forging the evidence of the concubine's collusion with the enemy, Nan Wang stabbed the matter to the late emperor.

Of course, if possible, Nanwang would like to directly frame King Taiping.

But he has too many previous convictions of murdering siblings. If one of them doesn't operate well, it's easy to trap himself.

So I can only take the second place and try to pull King Taiping down on the charge of 'covering the enemy's spies'.

Of course, the first emperor could not listen to his one-sided words, so he summoned King Taiping into the palace to confront him face to face. However, King Taiping lost control of his emotions after knowing the true identity of his concubine. , could not say any rebuttal words.

The situation is progressing smoothly in the direction Nan Wang expected.

After some painful struggle, King Taiping finally made a decision.

Of course he didn't want to doubt the person next to him, nor would he personally send his beloved woman to the guillotine, but for various reasons, he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once the matter is publicized, the consequences will be disastrous.

In fact, King Taiping didn't care about the punishment he would receive. He just wanted to instinctively try to save the only person he could keep before things became irreversible.

His child, the only bloodline between him and the princess.

At that time King Nan was present, although the late Emperor had other thoughts in his mind, he couldn't say it clearly, but ordered Taiping King to go back to the mansion to deal with the matter as soon as possible and give himself an explanation.

But turning around, after King Taiping left the palace in a daze, not long after he returned to the palace, the queen mother secretly sent someone to deliver a secret letter to him.

The content of this secret letter made King Taiping overjoyed, and it also gave the princess, who was panicked because of her identity exposure and planned to commit suicide to apologize for fear of implicating her son, a glimmer of life again.

It turned out that the first emperor knew the identity of the princess long ago, and also knew that the criminal evidence presented by Nanwang was false.

But the identity of the princess is too sensitive after all, even if he can protect her for a while, there is no guarantee that no one will continue to use this reason to frame King Taiping in the future.

This time, Nan Wang was not prepared enough, so he could easily find out the mistakes, but what about next time?What the late emperor meant was to let the concubine take this opportunity to feign death and escape, and when things calmed down, she would change her appearance and return to the palace with an innocent identity.

In the view of Taiping Wang and his wife, this is indeed a good way to get the best of both worlds.

After some discussion, the husband and wife quickly finalized the plan - to stage a scene in which King Taiping kills his relatives with a glass of poisoned wine and kills his own concubine in public.

The original intention of this play was to convince Nan Wang's eyes and ears, and to block Nan Wang's excuses before taking the opportunity to play.

result……

As a result, it is hard to say whether Nan Wangxin believed it or not.

King Taiping only knew that his stupid son must have believed it.

Anyway, after he finished his 'funeral' for his princess, he finally remembered that his son had been a little strange lately—that silly boy got out of the dog hole in the backyard and ran away from home while the servants were not paying attention. up!

The author has something to say: King Taiping has a vicissitudes of life: my son is really stupid.

Princess: The son follows the father.

Gong Jiu: ...
