Wen Pei struggled to return to Prince Rui's Mansion, but Huai Yang blocked him on the path from the west courtyard to the east courtyard.

"Where did you go? The house is burned down like this, why can you still go out to play calmly? Do you know that my king's life is about to be taken away by Huaizhen!?"

Huai Yang questioned Wen Pei with resentment, completely unaware that Wen Pei's face was as pale as ashes.

He just vented his anger blindly, trying to make Wen Pei lower his body and coax him.

Wen Pei only looked at Huai Yang with those eyes as silent as stagnant water.

At first, Huai Yang was able to point fingers at the sky and scold the earth, but then Wen Pei saw his back getting hairy, and he suddenly faltered. However, he soon remembered his noble status, and remembered that the entire Prince Rui's mansion would be born next to him. Pei is just a princess who has long lost her novelty.

When he becomes the crown prince and takes the throne, he will have as many cold beauties as he wants.

The emperor was seriously ill, and there were not many days left visible to the naked eye. Huai Yang mistakenly thought that he was in sight of victory.

In addition, he was really aggrieved by the fire for the past two days, so he vented it on Wen Pei today.

"This king is talking to you, why don't you say a word?! You really think I'm afraid of you!?" He pushed Wen Pei, and Suo Qing behind him hurriedly supported the princess.

Wen Pei smiled bitterly and sadly.

King Rui didn't know why, so he was going to pull Wen Lubai over, but as soon as he tried hard, Wen Pei closed his eyes and fell down.

In the afternoon of the same day, news came out from Prince Rui's mansion that the fire that King Yu set off had scared Princess Rui into illness, and King Rui was taking care of her in confusion.

The people immediately criticized Yu Wang's mansion overwhelmingly, and praised His Highness Rui Wang's beloved wife, Gu Jia. Compared with Yu Yu, who only knows how to kill and kill, it is nothing short of a difference.

When Chu Shao went to the street, he heard this storytelling in the teahouse, and thought it was ridiculous, but the group of guests in the seat applauded.

He felt noisy, so he left the teahouse and went to the street, and in the corner, he heard some little beggars compose limericks and sang them. discussed:

"His Royal Highness King Rui is really a model of a husband-in-law in Beijing. If I can marry such a man who is rich, powerful and dotes on me, I will wake up laughing from my dreams."

"When the prince ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, maybe we will have a chance to choose a concubine."

"You forgot, His Royal Highness King Rui made a solemn oath that he will only love the princess in this life and never take concubines. Even if he becomes the emperor, the harem will probably be empty. The three thousand weak waters will only take the princess to drink. The princess is really Good luck."

Chu Shao: "......" This kind of blessing, I'm afraid Wen Pei is not uncommon.

No wonder King Rui's reputation in the capital is so good, the most broken tongues in the city have been bribed, one story spreads ten to one hundred, and over the years, everyone speaks for money, even trash can be said to be a treasure.

When Chu Shao returned to the mansion, he asked Si Yun to grind the pen and write it himself. After thinking for a while, he began to write.

In the evening, Huai Zhen came to look for him in the study, and saw Chu Qingxu sitting in front of the desk, with Lang Hao swaying in his hands, thinking that he was painting in high spirits, but when he walked over to look, it was a whole page of handwriting .

"This is?"

When he asked aloud, Chu Shao paused the tip of his pen, raised his head and said, "I'm writing a play."

"drama?"

"Your Highness, have you ever thought that even if Wen Pei agreed to expose King Rui's actions together, the people in the city, including the emperor, might not believe it? King Rui's virtuous image is deeply rooted in the capital, and even if the evidence is solid, it may not be able to really shake him Zhongqin's reputation."

Huaizhen understood, he glanced at Chu Shao's play, the words were full of wit and catchy, and the title of the play was even more bold and ironic:

The Prince of Color hides Yan Ruyu.

"Are you planning to repay it in the same way?"

Chu Shao said: "Before Wen Pei recovers from his illness, we have to help him pave the road first."

"Okay." Huai Zhen agreed, "Yang Ruoxue has reported the names of the other girls, and I have sent people to various states and counties to pick up their families."

Chu Shao said with a tacit understanding: "Use this drama again to build momentum, point the finger at King Rui, and finally incite the family members of the victim to write a blood letter to plead for life. As long as the emperor's trust in King Rui can be shaken smoothly, he will be lured to the golden house of King Rui's mansion." After finding out, are you still afraid that His Royal Highness King Rui will not fall?"

This is a good strategy, but Huaizhen has mixed feelings: one day the love gu will dissipate, will Chu Shao use the same means and scheming to deal with himself?

-

Within two days, the families of the missing brides in various prefectures and counties were secretly taken back to Kyoto by King Yu. At the same time, under the protection of King Yu's Mansion, the play "The Prince of Color Hides Yan Ruyu" was successfully performed on stages with huge crowds all over Kyoto.

Huaizhen even bought the theater troupe in the palace, and directly moved the play to the emperor.

Although the prince of color in the play did not name his name, but his good reputation among the people and his pretentious benevolence and righteousness make people with a discerning eye know that this play is insinuating the current king Rui, and the "Golden Academy" in the play is simply Come across the sign "Golden House".

Although the emperor was seriously ill, he was not so stupid that he couldn't even see this kind of insinuation. Seeing that the emperor was alarmed, Empress Zhao hurriedly sent people back to Prince Rui's mansion to deal with the woman in the golden house.

After the play was widely sung, the family members of the group of brides knelt outside the palace gate with their blood written on them, and they took turns beating the Dengwen drum day and night.

The emperor was overwhelmed by the disturbance, and finally went to Prince Rui's Mansion to check what happened.

King Rui had already hidden the woman in fear, and the golden house was whitewashed like an ordinary place for reading.

The emperor went around and found that it was not as absurd as written in the drama, nor did he see the grievances stated in the blood letters of the group of people.

Empress Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the night would be long and dreamy, so she urged the emperor to return to the palace.

"Father, please stay." Wen Lubai, who had been sick for a long time, walked in front of the emperor under King Rui's disbelieving gaze.

He knelt down and saluted.

This matter caused a lot of trouble in the city, the Duke of Zhen was afraid that his son would be wronged, so he hurried back from the border, and today he also came to the Rui Palace with the emperor.

Seeing that Lu Bai had lost a lot of weight and haggard, he gave King Rui a harsh look.

Duke Zhen Guo had been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and there was a murderous look in his eyes that couldn't go away. Huaiyang felt a chill down his back when he glanced at him, and he didn't dare to do anything wrong.

The emperor asked Wen Pei to get up to answer, but Wen Pei insisted on kneeling: "Prince Rui's mansion has committed a serious crime, and my son stands up shamelessly."

Queen Zhao panicked and said, "Silly boy, you, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Does the queen mother still want to cover up for Huai Yang again?" Wen Lubai met the emperor's gaze, and said, "Father, the emperor's lesson, the golden house that has been rumored in the city recently is definitely not a rumor, but a fact!"

"Wen Lubai, what nonsense are you talking about?!" King Rui was anxious to rush forward and cover Wen Pei's mouth.

"Kneel back to me!" Emperor Qin ordered, but Huai Yang dared not move.

He still had a little bit of luck, after all, the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion and the Rui Wang Mansion became in-laws, and both were prosperous, and both were hurt.

The emperor suppressed a cough and said, "Lu Bai, tell me what's going on!"

Wen Lubai lowered his eyes, couldn't bear to look at Duke Zhen's distressed eyes, and then said: "Huaiyang kidnaps innocent women from various places into the palace, hides them in the golden house, and uses the name of the school to proclaim adultery in the daytime. thing."

Huai Yang was shocked: "Wen Lubai!!"

"After the incident came to light, he made a false appearance to deceive the royal father. In fact, he hid all the girls in the underground secret room of the golden house. The royal father can send someone to investigate now!"

When the emperor was furious, he immediately asked the imperial guards around him to check the underground secret room of the golden house.

"Are you trying to destroy this king?!" Huai Yang rushed forward recklessly, wanting to make a move on Wen Pei, but Suo Qing quickly blocked him, blocked Wen Pei's kick, and then knelt down in front of the emperor, "His Royal Highness Rui Not only is Jinwu Zangjiao, but he beats and scolds the young master on weekdays, and there are bruises on the young master's waist, please have mercy on the young master."

At this time, the Imperial Forest Army hurried forward and said: "Report to the emperor, there are indeed twenty young women hidden in the golden house."

emperor:"......"

Huai Yang saw that he was doomed, and became angry from embarrassment. Before he had time to quibble, his face suddenly hurt. Zhen Guogong took the riding whip in his hand and slapped King Rui hard, knocking Huai Yang into a daze.

Queen Zhao said angrily: "How dare you beat the prince in front of the Holy Majesty?!"

"Such a shameless person, he will be beaten as soon as he wants! The emperor will punish him as soon as he wants, and I will beat him to pieces today."

The emperor had no face to punish the Duke of Zhen. After all, apart from the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, Huai Yang was considered the Duke of Zhen's son-in-law.

In the end, Wen Pei got up, stopped his father, and said to the emperor: "This is the end of the matter, King Rui has not been as loyal as he said when he got married that day. If that is the case, please allow your majesty to allow the minister to separate from King Rui, otherwise The minister must die to show his will."

The emperor closed his eyes and said with difficulty: "... I... agree."

Wen Pei spread out the documents he had prepared early in the morning in front of Huai Yang, saying it was a divorce, but it was a letter of divorce.

"Huaiyang, the one thing I regret most in this life is when I was 9 years old, I jumped off the ice lake to save you. I saved your life, but you ruined my life. Today, I, Wen Lubai, divorced you."

He let go of his hand, the divorce letter obscured Huai Yang's vision, and when he took down the divorce letter, he could only see Wen Pei's leaving figure.

"King Rui's behavior is ridiculous and outrageous. From now on, he will be banned from the palace for three years!"

Following the emperor's oral order, the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion was locked and closed.

But in one afternoon, the entire capital knew that King Rui's beloved wife was a fake, and that his lust was real. Duke Zhen broke up with Prince Rui's mansion, and they would no longer communicate in this life. King Rui, who had been banned for three years, had no plans to seize The prince's hope.

As soon as this gust of wind blew into the court and the public, the grass on the wall of the civil and military factions began to sway again.

The original civil servants from King Rui's camp hurriedly sought a way out and put aside their relationship with Prince Rui's mansion, while the military generals, together with Lord Zhen Guo, stood on the opposite side of Queen Zhao. Everyone's position changed a round, only Taifu Wen remained steadfast. move.

From the very beginning, he put all his bets on Wu Neng'an's northern border, Wen Nengzhi's Yu Wang, who ruled the dead city of Qizhou.

In the Taifu's mansion, Wen Rongyu is facing the mirror with her eyebrows in a bun. The woman in the mirror has a gentle and pleasant face, but there is sadness in her eyebrows and eyes.

She went to Prince Yu's Mansion yesterday, and wanted to congratulate Huai Zhen, but was stopped by his close Eunuch Wen from the inner courtyard.

Wen Rongyu looked at the two intimate people in the courtyard from a distance.

Huai Zhen smiled gently at Chu Shao, raised his hand to touch Chu Qingxu's earlobe from time to time, as if he liked his cinnabar, and then they kissed like no one else.

Wen Rongyu left sadly.

She looked at the beautiful face in the mirror, she was a grand official, and her status and prestige among the ladies in the capital was also one of the best. Many people praised her for her natural beauty. Before meeting Chu Qingxu, she had never had any doubts about her appearance. low self-esteem.

"Tell me, who is better-looking between me and that Qizhou native surnamed Chu?"

she asked the maid beside her.

The maid said: "Miss is overwhelmed by the country and the city, how can ordinary people compare?"

"Yes, he is just the son of a magistrate." Wen Rongyu said to himself, "In terms of family background, he is no match for me, let alone a man, the emperor should not allow Wen Lubai to make trouble anymore The prince marries a man as his wife."

She asked the maid: "Dad, did you say when will we hear back about the marriage?"

"Miss, don't worry, the emperor seems to be getting sicker because of King Rui's matter. The Tai Tuo hasn't found the time to mention it, but it's just a matter of time. Miss will definitely marry His Royal Highness Yu Wang as she wishes."

"Naturally, I'm not in a hurry. As long as Daddy is here, whether it's Princess Yu or the Empress, they're all in my pocket."

When Wen Rongyu picked up a pair of pearl earrings and hung them on the earlobe, he recalled the scene of King Yu playing with Chu Qingxu's earlobe, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

With a heavy hand, the earlobe was scratched by the hook of the earring, and a red drop of blood came out.

The maid rushed over with a handkerchief, but Wen Rongyu admired the blood bead hanging on his earlobe.

"Compared to Chu Qingxu, I am more qualified to be the red cinnabar in His Highness's heart."
