I started a boy band in ancient times

The deterrent effect of the queen mother's words was still no less than all the previous ones, and Chu Qi felt a deep chill in his heart.

Even though King Jing had a bad record in the past, in terms of his private affairs, he was unanimously dedicated. He did not continue his relationship with prostitutes, and the prosperous gossip industry in the capital did not find out who he had an affair with. They all thought that his wife was deeply buried In his heart, he must love her extremely, but he didn't want...the truth is so cruel.

Chu Qi remembered that his and Liu Jiyue's birthdays were only more than half a month apart, that is to say, the general's wife was not even confinement, and the flesh and blood relatives were exchanged by King Jing, so it was no wonder that they would die in depression.

"He and his sister-in-law have always been on the same level, loving each other, and I am also envious, but for his big plan...he will sacrifice everything." Chu Jingxian tightly closed her eyes, "Sister, child, madam... All, and so is the Emperor."

"Queen Mother, keep silent." Liu Jiyue suddenly said coldly.

Chu Jingxian looked at him with a sneer: "Didn't the emperor ask me to say it? Why, you don't like to hear it? Since you dare to use Chengguo Jiye as a bargaining chip, Zhaohua and Chuqi will be sacrificed and used." How can it disturb your heart when you get up! It's just repeating the old trick, do you think I don't know how Luo and his son were deceived by you?"

"There is also the Queen, you have no affection for her, even Chu Jingzhong never forced you to accept her, she is just a display for you to promote and support Ming Qiansu, and the same is true for Concubine Shu..." The more she said, the more she spoke, like He wanted to complain about all the sins on Liu Jiyue, "It's all the same, for you, love is just the easiest existence to let go!"

She looked at Chu Qi faintly: "And you are friendly with him at this time, how can you have some kind of sincerity, or...in order to get something from him?"

Chu Qi took a step back subconsciously, pursed his lips and clenched his sleeves tightly, as if trying to avoid her aggressive gaze, but every word the queen mother said still stirred up waves in his heart.

"Have you said enough?" Liu Jiyue's voice sank, although his face still showed no landscape, but he also vaguely showed coldness, "The Queen Mother doesn't need to feel that the word love is no longer credible just because she has been lonely all her life. What's more Having said that, the Empress Dowager keeps saying that marrying into the palace is a sacrifice, but I don't know if the person the Empress Dowager yearns for is the person outside the palace who often exchanges tokens with you?"

Chu Qi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but Liu Jiyue also knew about it!But he quickly realized that since Mingyao pretended not to know about the relationship between Zhou Xuan, the Empress Dowager and Peng Yongyan, when he found out, he would definitely report back to the emperor immediately, but Liu Jiyue didn't make a sound.

Chu Jingxian's face lost all color in an instant, and although she quickly thought of that level, her original aura suddenly disappeared, and she only raised a vague voice: "You knew it a long time ago, it was Mingyao... or were you already in the palace?" Did you deploy people outside? What did you do to him!"

"Mingyao returned to Beijing five years ago, and began to travel frequently to and from the palace three years ago, and occasionally helped people deliver some news. If I really want to do something, I don't have to wait until today to find out." Liu Jiyue took a deep breath. Tone, "Peng Yongyan's wine party is booming, the harvest is good, and he has helped me a lot without knowing it. Besides, he has always been safe. He only asks for your recent situation and doesn't expect anything else. I don't have any need to touch him. ? The Queen Mother need not worry."

His tone returned to calm: "I don't know the past between the Queen Mother and him, but such affection is really admirable. I also hope that the Queen Mother will take care of her body and pay attention to her posture, so that Zhaohua will not get sick after she gets married. From then on, there will be no strangers." I can’t get any news from him.”

"--you!!"

Chu Jingxian was so speechless, she became angry from embarrassment, her face flushed instantly, she pointed at Liu Jiyue fiercely, but she couldn't speak anymore.She can accept Zhaohua's marriage, but it is definitely not Xiwan, and she can also accept that she has no contact with Peng Yongyan, but it should not be because of the emperor's threat.

And just when she was furious, Liu Jiyue suddenly fell into an old illness, he held his heart for a while and gasped for breath, then started to cough heavily again.

After he calmed down a bit, it seemed that the previous tit-for-tat confrontation could no longer be continued.

Liu Jiyue spat out the stagnation in her throat, looked at the blood on her sleeves, and calmly hid it, then looked at Chu Qi who was not coming forward.

In the past, every time he frowned, even if it was just a slight cough, Chu Qi would pay attention immediately, and asked softly "Is he all right", always alert to his illness, but this time he stopped, just pretending not to hear or see, as if To set boundaries with him.

Liu Jiyue's complexion was pale, and her eyes became darker and darker. When she looked straight at the person, she seemed to have endless things to say, but she never said much.

Chu Qi's heart ached, but his hands and feet seemed to be bound by another heavy and sad emotion. He clearly wanted to make a move, but he didn't have the courage to take a step forward.His head started to hurt again, but this time it wasn't because of system punishment, but because of the person in front of him.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "...it seems that he has learned many important things. Your Majesty, will my head be beheaded?"

Liu Jiyue lowered her eyes: "No."

"Then what about them?" Chu Xi said, besides him and the Queen Mother, Ling Feidu, Chun Ya'er, and a maid of the Queen Mother were clearly present with long ears.Eunuch Chun and the queen mother's maid have begun to cry and beg for mercy and swear, while Ling Feidu is kneeling on one knee in the posture of obeying orders, as if he can accept any result.

"If you wish, I can spare their lives."

"Your Majesty is not afraid that this matter will be spread?"

Liu Jiyue said: "So what if it's spread? Someone needs to believe it, that's the first thing; the country is going to be in chaos, that's the second thing; except King Liang and you, there is no one who is a legitimate prince, but the two of you And they have no military power, this is the third. Besides... this is your hope."

Chu Qi's eyes were sore again. Even though so many things happened, and he heard so many words of admonition or disclosure, he still couldn't help but believe him, even though he didn't know that if he went on, the road ahead would lead to Where.

"Okay," he heard his own voice say, "as long as you don't break your promise to me."

……

On the [-]th night of the twelfth lunar month in the tenth year of Taimu, King Jing's body was secretly transported back to Kyoto, and the Northwest Army News also came in at the same time.The commander of Chengguo died in battle, the army was killed and injured [-], and they rested in the city. The Xiwan monster was also severely injured, and retreated into the mountains temporarily, handing over documents to seek peace. One of the regulations was to marry Princess Zhaohua.

In the evening, the news had been passed on to the various officials in Beijing, and the emperor temporarily summoned important officials to discuss countermeasures.On the next day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the palace did not see the joy of the new year, but was full of gloom, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.

Originally, King Jing had made outstanding achievements in the past. He repelled Xiwan in this battle, and his body was shrouded in horse leather. He deserved a grand burial and a reward.But everyone in the world knows that the emperor and King Jing are at odds, and no one dares to mention the behind-the-scenes of his conferment. If someone has the slightest sign of turning the topic away, the emperor will take it lightly, and then everyone knows what he means. up.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the emperor would be so impatient.On the third day of the first lunar month, only two days after King Jing's body was transported back to Beijing, several serious crimes were committed on him, such as confiscating his title, demoting him to a commoner, confiscating King Jing's mansion, and arresting all the people in the mansion.

——Poisoning the emperor, manipulating the court, forming a party for personal gain, conspiring to rebel, deceiving the emperor... a series of more than a dozen crimes that were punished according to the law, and Chu Jingzhong was tricked one after another as if he didn't want money, and they all said It works, someone believes it.

But some people believe it and others believe it, which does not prevent everyone from feeling that the handling of this matter was a little too hasty.Since King Jing died, most people liked to hear about it, but there are still many soldiers in the northwest border whose bones are not cold, and many soldiers are still desperately resisting. It is inevitable to be chilling to convict their former commander so quickly, so there are not many voices of persuasion. But the emperor still insisted on going his own way.

When the news came, Chu Qi was also shocked.These two days, he was still living in the Gouchen Hall of the Zhaixing Palace, but he did not meet Liu Jiyue directly, and only watched the courtiers in front of the Ziwei Hall from a distance through the window.The Ziwei Hall, which was in the water a month ago, has been repaired and refurbished. Liu Jiyue slept for less than three hours in two days, and was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. Chu Qi didn't want to disturb him for a short time, so he just stayed. In my room.

Ling Feidu still hadn't returned to follow him, and the rest of the men's team members were nowhere to be seen. Chu Qi could only confirm their safety from the system panel.He comforted himself that this was only temporary. After the death of King Jing, the restrictions of his family members should be greatly reduced. After dealing with these matters, they might be able to return to their original daily life.

But within two days, he waited for the news that Prince Jing's Mansion had been raided.

This matter is indeed reasonable, the only unexpected thing is the speed, he thought that he would at least do it after the incident on the northwest border was over, but the speed of the crime was swift and resolute, and when the news reached the palace in the afternoon, Jingwangfu All of them were arrested, and those who resisted King Jing's personal guards were killed on the spot.

There were no family members or heirs in King Jing's mansion, not even any collaterals, and all the people detained were Chu Jingzhong's guards and some servants who were implicated.And some of them had already drawn their swords and killed themselves when they heard the news of King Jing's death, and some of the core members were organized to evacuate from the capital, but the emperor's troops also tracked them down and followed closely behind.

Then the officials who were close to King Jing were dealt with.In fact, in terms of friendship, Chu Jingzhong and everyone in the court are not very friendly, but in his position, there are always many who want to cling to him, and when Chu Jingzhong needs manpower, he gradually forms a friendship. partisan.

It is impossible for so many officials in the temple to move overnight, otherwise there will be chaos.In the afternoon, the emperor picked out a few small and small party members who respected the king like a chicken, and put them in the prison together, waiting to be punished.

Such a fast processing speed was as fast as a race against something, so that Chu Qi was not surprised when he saw a group of black-armored soldiers lined up in front of the temple in the middle of the night.

"what's up?"

One of the leaders stepped forward politely, cupped his fists and said, "According to His Majesty's imperial decree, take all the members of Prince Jing's Mansion into the prison. My son... no, my son, please come with us."

Chu Qi looked at him quietly for a while, and then smiled: "Did His Majesty specify that even I have a share?"

The man continued to hang his head, avoiding talking: "The order I received is to arrest everyone and bring them to justice, and the young master is no exception."

There were hundreds of people standing in the dark of Yubayashi Wei, the Gochen Hall was brightly lit, Chu Qi looked at the Ziwei Hall in the middle of the Zhaixing Palace, the light that had been burning for the past few days was dim today, as if no one was there, Or fell asleep early, as if unconsciously.

Chu Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, and exhaled lightly: "Okay."
