Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

The third prince returned from the ancestral temple, and he lost a lot of weight. It was the most sacred and strict place in Dayan. The emperor asked him to kneel as a punishment. Those eunuchs and guards were stricter than each other, except for the few hours when he was sleeping. , He has never been asked to get up, and he was always carried back when he came back.

Mrs. Zhao burst into tears with distress. While telling the imperial physician who came to see the injury to be careful, she asked the third prince, "How do you feel?"

Although the third prince's face turned pale from the pain and his legs couldn't be straightened, he still smiled and said, "What is this pain? At least I'm back."

Mrs. Zhao understood what he meant. It has been two years since the third prince was punished to guard the imperial mausoleum. The emperor allowed him to come back, which means that his anger has subsided. This pain is nothing.

"You, later, go directly to your father and admit your mistake. Be more sincere and pitiful. Isn't Li Xu being pitied by the emperor because of being framed? Pity the parents of the world."

Speaking of Li Xu, the third prince had a sneer on his lips, "What's so pitiful about him? I thought he would be trapped in the shallows after driving him to the remote place in South Vietnam, but in the end, it gave him a platform to improve with peace of mind. , if you hadn't stopped him back then, his body would have melted now."

"It's that easy?" Mrs. Zhao glared at him. Fortunately, everyone in the palace is her own. Otherwise, if word spread, how could their mother and son survive?

"Okay, let's go after taking the medicine. Don't delay too long, and you don't need to change your clothes." Mrs. Zhao deliberately messed up the third prince's hair, and then asked someone to carry him to the emperor's Fengchen Hall.

The emperor was approving memorials in Fengchen Hall at this time, and his energy was not as good as before, so he could only select some important memorials to give instructions, and most of the memorials were handed over to Prime Minister Wei and several ministers for agreement.

After Li Xu returned to the court, he had an idea for him to take over these things slowly. He stood on top of the court and participated in the government affairs when he was young, so he was familiar with these things.

It's just that there is always a hurdle in his heart, and every time he sees Li Xu's young face and healthy body, he will inevitably feel a little short of breath. His great country is going to be handed over to others like this. No matter who this person is, he can't like it .

"Report to the emperor, the third prince is seeking an audience outside the palace." A young eunuch bowed his head and came in to report.

The emperor glanced over coldly, and said displeasedly: "What is he doing here? Tell him to get out of the palace, and don't come to shame in front of me recently."

The little eunuch didn't dare to have the slightest doubt, bowed his waist and exited the door, relaying the emperor's words to the third prince tactfully.

Everyone knows that the third prince was favored before, but he was fined to guard the imperial tomb for doing something stupid. Instead of repenting, he ate, drank, whored, gambled, and had fun in the imperial tomb. What do you think?Even if it's because of his face, the emperor will keep him cold for a while.

The third prince had nowhere to go to see him, so he had to go out of the palace first. On the way, he saw Li Xu and a strange young man walking together, he immediately felt compelled to ask someone to stop the sedan chair.

"Brother Prince... Oh, I forgot, you are not the prince now, so I should call you Second Brother." The third prince sat on the soft sedan chair and casually cupped his hands at Li Xu, "Brother Emperor, forgive me, brother, brother!" Inconvenient, unable to get off the sedan chair to salute."

The two looked at each other a few times, trying to see something from each other's expressions, but they both grew up in the palace, and no matter how big their thoughts were, they could hide them tightly.

Li Xu asked with concern: "I heard that the third brother was punished by his father to kneel, did he keep kneeling until today? Aren't your legs going to be crippled? It's a pity that you are going to be a cripple at such a young age. "After Li Xu finished speaking, he sighed pitifully, making the third prince dizzy with anger.

"Don't bother the emperor, my legs are very good."

"Really? It's okay after kneeling for a few days? It seems that the third emperor's kneeling is not sincere, or is someone secretly pouring water for you?" The law can abolish royal status.

The third prince didn't expect to see each other for a few years, Li Xu's mouth became even more poisonous, and the little bit of brotherhood in the past disappeared, so that people wanted to jump over and bite him to death.

"Brother Huang, don't be complacent. Do you think you can sit back and relax when you return to the capital? You don't know that the capital is turbulent, and you will lose everything if you are not careful. Brother Huang, you should be more careful."

Li Xu smiled slightly, straightened the collar of the third prince, leaned over and said in a low voice: "This is true, I will give back the words of the emperor, if you do many injustices, you will die yourself, and you will not live if you do evil. Do you think that no one really knows about those actions? Please pray for luck."

After Li Xu said this, he took Kou Xiao and left. Behind him, the third prince pulled his hands together fiercely, and it took a long time before he could not draw his sword to kill.

When he was about to reach the palace gate, the third prince was still very angry, he stopped shouting again, called the confidant eunuch at the side, and whispered a few words, then he showed a treacherous smile when he turned to enter the palace.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Li Xu and Kou Xiao came into the palace together to pick up the little princess. After entering the palace yesterday, the little princess suddenly developed a fever. Because the palace gate was locked and she couldn't be sent out of the palace, and the emperor also sent several imperial doctors to take care of her. Come together today.

Walking around the corner, Li Xu said in a low voice: "Just now I saw a jade plaque hanging around the third son's neck. Things, tell me, will that be what we are looking for?"

Kou Xiao was too far away to see it just now, so he nodded and said: "Whether it is or not, just go and take a look and you will know."

"He carries it with him, so it's not easy to steal it?"

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness is not an ascetic. If you can't hold back for a few days, you will definitely find someone to serve you. There will be a chance."

Li Xu saw that he was smiling so much that he knew that he was going to do something villainous, so he joked: "You don't want to watch their boudoir fun, do you?"

"The last general is not interested in this. The dirty picture hurts the eyes."

The two went to Fengchen Palace first, the emperor was not happy, but he heard that they still met. Compared with the third prince who was full of dandyism, King Shun was much better, this is something anyone with a discerning eye can see.

"Didn't you tell Shu'er to rest in the palace for a few days? Your palace is deserted, and there is not even a woman who takes care of her. How can she get good care when she goes back?" the emperor asked unhappily.

Li Xu accompanied him with a smile and said: "Father, you are too worried. Shu'er and Erchen have lived together for many years. Erchen will take care of her. Moreover, children are very delicate when they are sick. You need to be coaxed. Erchen is afraid that she will disturb you." rest."

"Shu'er is my own princess, so what's the point of being coquettish? The most important thing in this palace is to be able to coax people. I even ordered people to invite a theater troupe into the palace. When Shu'er gets better, let her have fun." Ah."

Li Xu felt a little helpless, after all he didn't dare to argue with the emperor, he just put his sick daughter in the palace, he was absolutely worried.

Kou Xiao stood up at this time and said: "Your majesty, you may not know that when he was in South Vietnam, the prince always took the little princess with him wherever he went. Maybe it was because the road to the south was too difficult and the little princess was stimulated. It's normal, once you get sick, you are very fragile, your majesty is busy with government affairs, and your servants are not relatives no matter how capable they are, I am afraid that the little princess will not tell you because of her suffering, why don't you let the little princess follow the prince?"

What happened to the little princess back then, only a few people knew. In order to silence her, Li Xu committed murder for the first time, and he didn't tell the emperor when he came back.

But the emperor knew about the disappearance of the little princess back then, and heard some news, but he didn't think much about it when she was found safe and sound. He glared at Li Xu, and angrily said: "What's going on? You Tell me."

Li Xu asked the emperor to retreat, and then told the events of that year, including the miserable appearance of the little princess when she was found, anyone who heard that a little baby suffered such pain would feel distressed.

"Crack!" The emperor smashed an inkstone in a rage, "Why didn't you report such an important matter? I... I want to destroy them!"

Li Xu lowered his head and smiled sarcastically, but when he raised his head, his face was moved, "Father, don't worry, I've taken care of everything. After all, it's about the reputation of a woman, so I have to be careful."

"Let's go and see Shu'er together." The emperor was indeed too busy and mentally weak, even if he heard that she was sick, he just sent someone to take care of her, and he hadn't visited her in person.

Anger flashed in Li Xu's eyes, and finally he walked out behind the emperor without saying anything.

On the way, Kou Xiao secretly squeezed Li Xu's palm, even standing next to Li Xu, he could feel the other party's tension, which showed that he was very angry.

Passing the imperial garden halfway, the three of them bypassed a clump of lilies, and further ahead there was a bush with tall people. The emperor traveled, and the formation was not small, but the group was quiet, and even the sound of footsteps was very faint.

"You are talking nonsense, His Royal Highness King Shun... how could he do such a thing back then?" A clear female voice came from behind the bushes.

When Li Xu heard his name, he subconsciously stopped, and then he heard a voice that was neither male nor female saying, "Believe it or not, anyway, I found out about it by accident. What's in my stomach, didn't I say it for you?"

"Hey, what does this have to do with me? What does it have to do with me whether King Shun is against you or not?"

"Didn't you admire him for many years? For this reason, you refused to be my opponent. I tell you this to let you see his true face. King Shun is not as beautiful as you think."

"Nonsense! Back then, His Highness King Shun blocked the arrow for His Majesty. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured. That arrow almost killed him. If he really participated in the conspiracy, how could he have blocked the arrow for His Majesty?"

This is also the reason why Li Xu was able to save his life back then. If Li Xu hadn't blocked that arrow, the emperor would have been seriously injured if he didn't die. Anyone can understand that Li Xu didn't know what he did. Otherwise, how could he explain him? behavior?

"Maybe he just knew that there was no hope for rebellion, or he repented temporarily when he saw his biological father in danger? In short, you should stop thinking about him, one day..."

"One day what?" A chaotic and hoarse voice shouted angrily. As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, the guards behind him rushed over, immediately held down the two of them, tied them up and threw them in front of the emperor.

Li Xu stood behind the emperor with nothing to do with himself, his expression was as usual, thinking that this is not the first time the emperor heard such words, right?

The two were suddenly thrown in front of the emperor, panicked, the maid fainted before she could speak, but unfortunately the guards at the side showed no mercy, and woke up some of those who pinched her hard.

The emperor waved his hands, and said in a disinterested manner, "Take them all down, and ask who is in charge."

Eunuch Zhao immediately asked several young eunuchs to escort him to the Punishment Division, "The emperor calms down, these two little things are nothing more than life and death, this old slave will order someone to interrogate them properly."

The emperor snorted coldly, strode forward, and when he walked out of the imperial garden, he suddenly stopped and turned around to ask Li Xu, "What do you think of today's incident?"

Li Xu couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but based on his understanding of the emperor, even if he knew in his heart that this was a situation, he would still feel uncomfortable. This thorn was deeply inserted in his heart, and it would take a long time for anyone to tease him.

"Father is clearly aware that my son dares to swear on his life. He absolutely does not know about that matter, otherwise he will be struck by lightning and his soul will be scattered!" Li Xu made a poisonous oath bluntly. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he has nothing to say It can be said.

"What nonsense! Do I still not know about you? I can tell from today's incident that someone deliberately framed you. I will definitely investigate and see who is separating our father and son."

Li Xu knew that this matter must have been done by the third prince, he was the only one who did such an impulsive and full of loopholes, he must have been pissed off just now.

After Mrs. Zhao heard the news, she angrily smashed all the porcelain in the room, her chest heaved, and she gritted her teeth and said in a hateful voice: "Just now I sympathized with his miserable legs, but now it seems that the punishment is too light. I really want to beat him to death with a stick! Why did Mrs. Ben give birth to such a mindless fool!"

"Madam, calm down. The Third Highness also did this kind of thing out of anger. Why don't you think about how to prevent those two from confessing the Third Prince."

"Oh, dizzy with anger? Hasn't he been angry with Li Xu since he was a child? If he is half as sensible as Li Xu, why should my wife plan everything for him? It's too stupid!" Madam Zhao dared not I believe this is a stupid thing done by my son.

They decided to tease the thorn in the emperor's heart from time to time, but what occasion and whoever opened the mouth had to be carefully considered, how could it be done casually?

Even if the emperor felt uncomfortable after hearing this, as long as he is not stupid, he will know that someone framed Li Xu. As long as he is rational, he will not punish Li Xu. This is not intentional to push the emperor's heart to Li Xu's side. ?

"Go, let the two of them never say anything, what should I do without Mrs. Ben teaching you?"

"Don't worry, the servant girl will do it seamlessly."

＊＊＊＊＊＊

The three emperors went to visit the little princess, and saw her lying on the bed weakly, with a veil on her forehead, several little eunuchs performing juggling for her, and maids telling her stories, but she was still sick, All the usual vivacity was gone.

Li Xu felt distressed, hugged her and asked, "How do you feel?"

Seeing Li Xu, the little princess burst into tears immediately, worried about the presence of the emperor, she didn't say that she wanted to go home, she just hugged Li Xu and cried.

Although what Kou Xiao said in the hall just now is a bit exaggerated, it is not a lie. The little princess is indeed very clingy when she is sick, and she always has nightmares. Fortunately, she has been healthy and rarely gets sick these few years.

The little princess felt better after crying, and apologized to the emperor shyly, and said that she just missed her father and wanted to eat the little wontons made by Aunt Xu in the house, not because she was uncomfortable living in the palace.

The emperor was already in pain. Seeing that her face was flushed and her eyes were dull, because her eyes were still a little swollen after crying, he immediately agreed to let her go out of the palace to recuperate, but still sent a group of maids and eunuchs to accompany her, even the imperial physician Both sent two.

After returning to the palace, Li Xu made arrangements for the little princess, fed her medicine himself, and watched her fall asleep before leaving.
