The villain becomes a heartthrob after being reborn

Because of the injury, Zhao Yueyao was ordered not to leave the palace, and could only stay and recuperate.

Gu Yun is different from his elder brother, he is slightly fat, always smiling, and his words and actions are not sharp, Zhao Yueyao actually quite likes his personality.

At the time of the exam, Gu Yun was pretty poor in the other two subjects, but he got full marks in civil customs.

He even drew various improvement tools designed by himself on the examination papers. Others didn't understand and felt that he was really not doing his job properly.But Zhao Yueyao knew that this was a rare scientific research talent.

With hands-on ability and valuable innovation ability, it is really suitable for him to improve farm tools.

Zhao Yueyao: "Gu Yun, do you know what I ordered you to do?"

Gu Yun got the official position, and got Zhao Yueyao's respect, and his words were louder than before: "Yes, my little prince. I will soon make the tool you mentioned that is put on the horse."

What Zhao Yueyao asked Gu Yun to make was an agricultural tool for plowing the ground, which is now Nanyue's.The tools used by commoners are too crude, Zhao Yueyao wants to make Gu Yun change.

Gu Yun led the mission and left. Zhao Yueyao was just about to take a rest when a desperate news came: the tribute sent to Shangjing was robbed.When the news reached the emperor's ears, the emperor was furious and sent someone to investigate the matter thoroughly.

What was unexpected was that the aristocratic families jointly signed a letter to resign. When the emperor asked about it, he blamed Nanyue for all the reasons.

Zhao Yueyao was furious: "A group of bastards who only know how to threaten people, if they have the ability, they will report their old age and return home. Am I missing these people?"

The old prince: "Speak carefully, if there are too many people resigning in the capital, then the entire imperial court will be in chaos. Yao Er, don't be impulsive. We will see how the emperor handles it."

This wait lasted for ten days, and Zhao Yueyao was restless. He asked Zhou Qishi: "What do you think the emperor will do? Will you tell us not to continue the scientific examination and let those who passed the scientific examination leave?"

Zhou Qishi was in a heavy heart, and he didn't want to weave any good things for Zhao Yueyao: "The situation may be worse than this, Yaoyao, you must be prepared. No matter what happens to the palace, you have to be patient, and you can't go head-to-head .”

Zhao Yueyao was crying, and hugged Zhou Qishi: "It's all my fault, I'm too headstrong, I'm always hotheaded in everything I do. Now that I've got my father involved, what should I do?"

Zhou Qishi pursed his lips, it was the first time he felt so powerless, he could only say to Zhao Yueyao: "I'm sorry, I will try my best to protect you."

Zhao Yueyao didn't want any substantive help, he just felt weak in his heart and just wanted a comfort.

The two hugged each other tenderly.The sun slanted westward outside the window, shining golden light on all the flowers in the flower beds.

On the third day, Zhao Yueyao was notified by the old prince that he could no longer continue to be in charge of the affairs in hand.Zhao Yueyao asked at a loss: "Then what should I do, Daddy?"

The old prince looked a little tired, with complex emotions that Zhao Yueyao couldn't understand in his eyes: "There is no need to do anything, and you don't need to talk back to your mother in the future, do you understand?"

Zhao Yueyao was very unhappy: "Father, are you just sacrificing all my efforts like this? Just because the tribute was robbed, you are afraid of the emperor's anger? I am not afraid. Now the power of the family is entangled. If you don't suppress it as soon as possible, what is the emperor? He will die sooner or later!"

The old prince usually can't hear Zhao Yueyao's words, but today he didn't scold anyone, but admired in his tone: "That's right, Yao'er, you are right. You have to be right. Father never thought you It was wrong. It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and we have to keep a low profile."

Zhao Yueyao reluctantly accepted this reason, and his nature was a little low: "Father, I'm leaving."

The old prince asked to stay: "Stay here and play a game of chess with Dad. Dad hasn't played chess with you for a long time."

Zhao Yueyao doesn't like playing chess at all: "No, Dad, you never give in to me. It's boring to lose all the time."

The old prince smiled slightly: "Whoever told you to do things is always frizzy, 3 minutes of heat, dad really polished your mood. Okay, you go back and have a good rest."

Zhao Yueyao nodded and returned to his yard, he asked Liu Zhi: "Where is Zhou Qishi, why didn't I see him all day today?"

Liu Zhi saluted: "Little prince, Mr. Zhou left early this morning, and he asked me to tell you that he may not come back until a few days later."

Zhao Yueyao was inexplicably irritable, picked up the teacup, and threw it on the ground: "Just go, don't come back. I'm in such a bad mood now, he doesn't even know how to be considerate!"

Liu Zhi and the little girl in the room quickly knelt down on the ground in fear: "My lord, please calm down."

Zhao Yueyao suddenly felt very wronged, his beautiful face wrinkled, he ran to the bed, pulled up the quilt and hid.

After an unknown amount of time, someone softly comforted him: "Yaoyao, you can't breathe like this, you will suffocate yourself."

Zhao Yueyao didn't want to come out at all, and Zhou Qishi half forced and half comforted him to pull him out. His warm and pleasant smell wrapped Zhao Yueyao tightly: "I'm going to see my eldest sister today, and Zhou Shaoqing has gone."

As soon as the name came out, Zhao Yueyao's radar was erected: "Why are you still looking for her?!"

Zhou Qishi replied with some hesitation: "She said that she has a way to help you."

Zhao Yueyao reacted greatly: "No, you can't see her anymore!"

Zhou Qishi hugged Zhao Yueyao: "Okay, I will listen to you, and we will take care of things together. If you are in a bad mood, we will go out to play."

Zhao Yueyao nodded: "Yes."

A servant came in from outside: "Little prince, he doesn't answer any knocks on the door of the prince's study. He drinks tea every day at noon, and we don't dare to disturb him too much."

Zhao Yueyao felt a little impatient: "Father definitely doesn't want to see you, why don't you knock on the door later?"

Liu Zhi felt that it was very abnormal: "Little prince, you should go and have a look, the prince is always gentle with his servants and will not embarrass others."

Zhao Yueyao frowned slightly, and a few bad thoughts came to his mind: "Let's go!"

They rushed to the door of the study as quickly as possible. Zhao Yueyao pushed the door hard and found that the door was locked. He lowered his voice: "Push it open for me!"

The servants around were a little hesitant, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhao Yueyao directly pulled out the sword of the guard next to him and slashed at it.

Zhou Qishi could see that his hands were trembling, and he took the long sword from Zhao Yueyao's hand forcefully but gently: "I'll do it."

His strength was stronger than Zhao Yueyao's, and he knocked open the door in two strokes.The smell of blood wafted out from inside, Zhao Yueyao pursed his lips tightly: "Go in and have a look first."

The servant walked in first, the servant girl screamed, her face paled with fright, she sat down on the ground: "Ah, my lord, my lord killed himself!"

Zhao Yueyao felt that he might be dreaming, he saw viscous red blood gradually flowing out of the room.He took two steps back and hit Zhou Qishi's chest with his back.

Zhou Qishi covered Zhao Yueyao's eyes: "Yaoyao, don't look."

Zhao Yueyao couldn't help shivering all over his body, as if he was walking naked in the ice and snow, his whole body was freezing cold.

"No, I want to see."

He forcefully broke away Zhou Qishi's hands covering his eyes one by one.Walking behind the screen, I saw my father who was still talking to him just now lying in a pool of blood, with his eyes closed, and a bloody wound on his neck.

Zhao Yueyao knelt on the ground, his eyes were red, regardless of the blood stains on his clothes: "Father, wake up."

"Someone must have harmed him, Chu Nian, Chu Nian has always wanted us Nanyue, it must be him!"

Sadness appeared in Zhou Qishi's eyes, he could not soothe the pain in Zhao Yueyao's heart at the moment: "Yaoyao, the most important thing now is to stabilize the palace."

Zhao Si was wearing armor and came from the outside with the rain under his arms. Behind him was a group of people in silk.

They looked fierce and held yellow imperial edicts in their hands.

"The imperial decree arrived, but Nanyue's tribute was lost but he did not plead guilty. The emperor ordered him to withdraw from Nanyue's land and change the fiefdom to Hedong for the sake of the Nanyue king's blood relatives."

The east side is equivalent to the fringe area of ​​Zhao State, the fiefdom is only one-third the size of Nanyue, and the people there are more stubborn and unyielding.This is obviously to cut off the position of the old prince.

Zhao Yueyao's expression was indifferent and bright, standing there neither accepting orders nor begging for mercy.

The servant who came to issue the decree was a little angry at this moment: "Why doesn't the king of Nanyue come to receive the decree?"

Zhao Yueyao raised his outer robe and knelt on the ground: "The minister accepts the order."

The servant didn't understand: "My lord, this decree is for the King of Nanyue."

There were congealed blood on Zhao Yueyao's moon-white robe, and he said with a blank face: "What happened, my father felt ashamed of his majesty, and he committed suicide and apologized. His body is inside, you can go in and see."

The servant turned pale with shock, and he said to the people around him, "Rush back to the capital immediately and inform the Holy Majesty about this."

"Little prince, the matter of the prince committing suicide is no small matter. We need to block the news and wait for the ruling of the Holy One. The matter of your going to Hedong will be postponed for the time being."

Zhao Yueyao's face was pale, and he nodded falteringly: "Thank you, my lord, this matter is up to you."

With a little sympathy in the eyes of the servant, he said to Zhao Yueyao: "Please mourn the little prince."

Zhao Yueyao forced a smile, his eyelashes were long and curled up, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, delicate and delicate, arousing pity.

After the servants left, Zhao Yueyao watched quietly as the servants put the old prince on the bed and changed into clean clothes.

He told Zhao Si: "Spread the story of my father's guilt and suicide, not to say it's because of the tribute, but because the aristocratic family is dissatisfied with the various reforms I made in Nanyue. They don't want to let civilians become officials. Your Majesty, and my father committed suicide to apologise, in order to appease the family's anger."

"I'm going to let this matter spread, and it will spread wildly."

"The civilians who passed the exam by themselves before, you can ask them if they would like to accompany me to Hedong."

Zhao Si knelt down on one knee, nodded and accepted the order. When he left, he was very worried: "Little prince, don't be too sad, this subordinate will protect you even if they die."

Facing Zhao Si, who grew up with him and was regarded as his childhood sweetheart, Zhao Yueyao finally showed a trace of real weakness and sadness: "I think I'm so unfilial. When I left the study this morning, Dad asked me to play a game of chess with him. I But I didn't agree to him because of my willfulness, if I can be more sensitive, can I stop this matter?"

"I don't know, why should I live!"
