Blood Eater

Chapter 118 The prince is too obedient

There is only Chu Ruoxi's father and daughter in the room. The best tea emits a faint tea fragrance, and Chu Yuanshan's expression is a little solemn.

"Ruoxi, the empress is the son and daughter of the Chu family. She is not as good as others. After learning about Cheng'er, she can't afford to get sick. Is it better for you to be the imperial concubine or to visit you in the palace to visit you with all your filial piety!"

"It's not that Ruoxi is unfilial, the prince can't tolerate me, and he wants to get rid of me. It doesn't matter if I die, but my brother's bones are not cold, and the revenge has not been revenged. I... I can't die!"

Chu Ruoxi's eyes turned red, and tears surged up again.

Speaking of his tragic son, Chu Yuanshan felt sad, but he could not lose his temper in front of his daughter. He advised: "The father will carefully investigate Cheng'er's affairs and will not let him die in vain. As for the prince, his father will not let him be presumptuous anymore."

Chu Ruoxi nodded obediently, "With the support of her father, Ruoxi will not be so worried."

She helped Chu Yuanshan add tea and was worried: "The Empress hates the mother and son of the King of Jin. He stayed in the Duke of Dingguo for many days and did not return to the palace. I'm afraid that the Empress's pass is not easy. Does her father have a way?"

Chu Yuanshan gently tapped the table with his fingers and thought for a moment. He was also worried: "The Chu family is not what it used to be. The heavenly family is afraid and difficult to walk. Although the Empress is my sister, she has never been able to kiss the prince and the emperor. On that day, she knew that the prince slandered you and did not blame the prince for admit his mistake. On the contrary, she left and indulged the prince to do whatever she wanted. In order to cause the innocent death of Cheng'er outside the palace..."

Chu Yuanshan said that Chu Zhicheng's voice was choked and then continued: "For my father, I planned to wait for you to enter the palace. The prince will look at the empress and your crown princess. Don't embarrass the Chu family too much, but his dislike of you is well known all over the world. The people have begun to rumored that the prince's deposed concubine is just around the corner, and they can't let him feel cold for his father. "Nah!"

Chu Ruoxi's eyebrows jumped slightly, picked up the cup, and quietly waited for Chu Yuanshan's next sentence: He actually took the initiative to talk about this. Has he decided to abolish Prince Yang Zheng?

"Ruoxi, father is sorry for you!"

The corners of Chu Yuanshan's eyes were a little moist. Looking at Chu Ruoxi, her petite body gave him a feeling of loneliness. He felt guilty: "I made you suffer so much, but I can't help you with this. I'm sorry for your brother and sister!"

"It's not like that, father, it's the prince who bullies people too much!" Chu Ruoxi was indignant, "The prince is unjust. I'm sorry for the Chu family. How can I say that it's my father's!"

"But he is the prince. The future monarch of a country, no matter how powerful the Chu family is, it can only be slaughtered by others!" Chu Yuanshan looked sad, "If the prince can treat you wholeheartedly, pity you, and endure some grievances for his father, alas..."

Chu Ruoxi was excited. The prince's actions made Chu Yuanshan feel a crisis. He had the intention to abandon the prince, but he didn't know whether he planned to re-elect a person as the prince or rebelled against Dazhou.

"It's all Ruoxi's incompetence. Not to mention the prince's favor, she let the fool be entangled around all day long and causing gossip..." She guessed that Chu Yuanshan might want to support Yang Yiping to take office, but it was not easy to turn the topic around for a while.

Chu Yuanshan coughed twice and sighed, "The King of Jin is infatuated with you. Unfortunately, he is a little stupid and finally embarrassed to take on a heavy responsibility. The emperor will not point out the position of prince to him. Alas... Hate Zheng'er, who has cultivated me for many years and supported me all the way. He actually crossed the river to tear down the bridge!"

"Father!" Chu Ruoxi's expression changed and his eyes were dissatisfied: "The king of Jin has a special status, but he does not pay attention to secular ethics. By doing so, he will only make Ruoxi sneer by the world and ruin his reputation."

Chu Yuanshan was stunned, frowned and asked for a long time, "If you dislike him and are worried that he will ruin your reputation, why did you stay in your Yilan for many days and you didn't invite him back to the palace?" Is it because your father is wrong and you hate him in your heart?

Chu Ruoxi's face turned red, and the purpose of leaving Yang Yiping in Yilanju was to pretend that they were in love in front of Chu Yuanshan. She did not dislike Yang Yiping's stupid appearance. Her previous words were just to retreat. At present, she didn't want Chu Yuanshan to change his mind and think differently.

"I...I...as early as the prince of Tianen Temple threw me to this fool, my reputation was gone. He is the prince and refuses to return to the palace. I can't forcibly tie him away."

Chu Ruoxi's shy and angry look deeply betrayed her mind. Her strong words made Chu Yuanshan smile indifferently, and his daughter could still use it for him.

Chu Ruoxi said angrily, "He is obsessed and annoys me all day long. Of course I hate him, but the prince bullied me like that and wants to put me into prison for other women. I hate that ungrateful hypocrite even more. Although this fool is annoying, it doesn't hurt my heart!"

"Well, it's just a casual word for the father. How can it damage your reputation? Don't worry, if the prince doesn't know what's good or evil, he is not the only son of the emperor, and there are many people who want to be emperor!"

Chu Yuanshan had also hinted before, but it was not as obvious this time. Chu Ruoxi was overjoyed and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Is it difficult for my father to ask Li Daitao to be stiff and change the prince?"

Chu Yuanshan did not reply and looked out of the window with his mind, but the sharp light in his eyes was not to be underestimated.

"In the end, he will only be a slave. He made great contributions to the ancestors of the Chu family. In troubled times, he tried to protect the emperor's accession to the throne and stabilize the Zhou Dynasty. In the end, the Chu family ended up being suspected by the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and his head was unpreserving at any time. His brother died tragically, and he could only swallow his anger and dare not aggrieved. On the other hand, the second brother holds a heavy army in his hand, and there are many people who admire his father in the court. Why didn't his father simply replace the Yang family and become the supreme in the world?

Chu Ruoxi's bold saying, this time Chu Yuanshan was no longer as frightened as last time, but he never dared to have this thought. He shook his head slightly and said nothing about her words.

Chu Ruoxi asked, "Is your father still worried about the power of hiding to protect the royal family in the dark?"

"Ruoxi, who told you about the 'Dragon Shadow'?"

Chu Ruoxi was shocked. It turned out that this was what Chu Yuanshan really was afraid of.

She turned her eyebrows and pushed everything to Chu Zhicheng, "My brother and Ruoxi mentioned it, but they didn't say anything. Ruoxi didn't know much about it."

Chu Yuanshan stood up, walked to the window, and said, "This is a long story. The former dynasty was subjugated, but the seventh son of Emperor Shunyi once established a Jianghu force serving the royal family. For this reason, Taizu was very brain-wracking. Finally, Qin Muhan, a student of Sui, approached the nine princesses who had deep feelings with the seven princes and cheated her trust. , successfully figured out the context of this group of people. What's more, one of the very important leaders turned against the water and cut off the resistance of this force to Taizu's army. Taizu had no scruples and finally seized the world and created the prosperous Zhou Dynasty!"

"Puff..."

Chu Ruoxi seemed to be pricked by a sharp knife on her chest, and a mouthful of blood spewed out. Her feet were soft, and her body collapsed on the table. The teacup fell to the ground. She barely stood still.

"Puff..." spit out another mouthful of blood. Qin Muhan was really the eternal pain in her heart. Even a hundred years later, everything on that day was vivid, all of which made her heartbroken.

Chu Yuanshan was so shocked that he quickly turned around and rushed up: "What's wrong, Ruoxi? How could this happen!"

Chu Ruoxi's heartache was like ajiaoling. In his previous life, he was stupid and didn't see the essence of Qin Muhan until the moment of his death. He only knew that he finally defected to the traitor Yang Zicheng. Today, he finally learned that he was just a pawn arranged by Yang Zicheng to him early, which was tantamount to giving her another blow.

"Ruoxi, don't scare your father. Come on, your father will help you to the bed first, which will let people pass on to the doctor in the house."

Chu Ruoxi shook her head, swallowed the blood in her mouth, and said with a smile, "I'm fine. I just heard my brother talk about this ninth princess. Thinking that she is so stupid, she won't know others and mislead the country. It's really stupid."

She sat down gently and looked at Chu Yuanshan and laughed at herself: "Turning around, Ruoxi has a deep affection for the prince. What's the difference between the prince and Qin Muhan in those years? He also used the power of our Chu family to sit firmly in the position of prince, but in the end, he abandoned Ruoxi and regarded the Chu family as a thorn in his eyes. Ruoxi was just sad.

Chu Yuanshan's eyes were cold and he persuaded her, "Silly child, the emperor of the previous dynasty was dizzy and harmed a pair of good children. If you have a father, your father will not let you become like that."

He turned the topic back to 'Dragon Shadow'. "Taizu used the power of Qin Muhan to secretly clear the remnants of the previous dynasty and let him form this power to protect the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it has always been hidden in the dark. Unless the Emperor of the Great Zhou is in trouble, they will not appear. Even the vassal king only came out at the most critical time. Now, after killing the leader of the treacherous minister and the traitor, he quietly disappeared.

Thinking that Qin Muhan formed the Dragon Shadow, which was so powerful, but failed to get rid of the Phoenix Feather created by the Seventh Brother, she couldn't help sneering in her heart. Perhaps the so-called 'Dragon Shadow' was not so powerful, but it was mysterious and mysterious, which made people panic.

"So that's it. Fortunately, my father is thoughtful and steady. Otherwise, Ruoxi will make another big mistake and involve the Chu family."

Chu Yuanshan was a little helpless: "You don't know and can't blame you. Therefore, at present, you still can't turn against the royal family. You have to rely on the queen to stabilize the prince, not to shock the 'dragon shadow', and let them return to the world and deal with the Chu family."

Chu Ruoxi agreed, but thought in her heart that the 'Long Ying' would keep an eye on the Chu family. Liang Ziyang could approach him, perhaps to facilitate the monitoring of the Chu family's every move.

โ€”โ€”

Chu Zhicheng died tragically. Chu Yuanshan was devastated and could not go to court, but the prince did not know how to restrain him. He replaced several court ministers for an excuse, and these people were all Chu Yuanshan's confidants.

The prince did this and failed to take back the power. Instead, many ministers secretly competed with him. He wanted to remove obstacles, but the deep-rooted Chu family was so easy to shake. Even if Chu Yuanshan did not go to court, his influence on the court did not diminish at all.

Eight hundred miles rushed to the Qianyuan Hall, and the barbarians in southern Xinjiang invaded the territory, captured 13 cities with one spirit, and the border gate was urgent.

The honest nomads in the north attacked and harassed the south one after another. The people of the Zhou Dynasty suffered unspeakably. The generals repeatedly asked for troops to be rescued, but no Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty came out to share their worries, and no general took the initiative to lead the army to calm down the chaos!

The people of Chu Yuanshan fell down, and the prince's man was also helpless and couldn't help him share his worries. It really chilled him!

However, the queen issued an order to summon Chu Yuanshan to the palace. Chu Yuanshan actually agreed, and the prince's heart suddenly hung up again.
