Chapter 310 Let’s Go Hiking

"Any news about the Emperor's uncle?"

In the villa, the fifth prince asked the spy who had returned.

The spy nodded: "The prince lives in Hua Street."

"Where is An Tai?" asked the Sixth Princess.

The fifth prince glanced at the sixth princess and said, "Are you still thinking about that pretty boy?"

The Sixth Princess snorted coldly: "You promised to protect him, what happened?"

She was very unhappy.

The fifth prince sneered: "Just a concubine..."

The Sixth Princess glanced at him, and he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and stopped talking.

"I am incompetent. Young Master An was taken away by the Emperor of Daxia. He should be in the palace now."

"The Great Xia Palace?" The Sixth Princess narrowed her eyes.

"I heard that An Tai's sister is very popular in the emperor's palace. It seems that the emperor loves her and her family." The fifth prince suddenly interrupted: "But the emperor doesn't seem to like women. I don't know if he likes men..."

The Sixth Princess did not speak.

The fifth prince thought about meeting with Prince Jin first, but before he went, Prince Ming and the eighth prince arrived.

"Your Highness Ming Wang, meeting you here makes me feel like meeting an old friend in a foreign land." The fifth prince smiled hypocritically.

Ming Wang also smiled: "Really? I didn't expect that you have become more polite after not seeing you for so many days."

"That's right. Things are different now." The Fifth Prince looked at the Eighth Prince beside King Ming and said, "This one is..."

"My eighth brother, you are a guest. The emperor asked us to take you two out for a walk."

The Fifth Prince glanced at the Eighth Prince and smiled at him: "Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness."

However, soon the fifth prince could no longer laugh.

He would never have imagined that a prince could be so bored as to take them hiking.

climb mountains! ! ! !

climb mountains! ! ! ! !

What did Chu have the most?

Of course it’s the mountains.

The fifth prince hates climbing mountains the most.

Moreover, the mountains of Da Xia are bare and there is nothing to see. However, the Eighth Prince was still introducing them enthusiastically. Seeing that he was very serious, he couldn't interrupt him and could only say yes, yes, yes. He loved climbing mountains the most.

Finally they went to Baohua Temple.

"This is the tree planted by my brother." The eighth prince was very proud: "When I planted the tree, my brother was still a little prince, and now he is the emperor."

The eighth prince was very, very, very seriously introducing a small tree that looked ordinary...

The fifth prince yawned out of boredom...

He didn't even want to look at the Eighth Prince. If it weren't for his serious expression, the Fifth Prince would have thought he did it on purpose.

When Ming Wang saw this, he also yawned.

The fifth prince quickly asked, "Are you sleepy, my lord?"

King Ming shook his head and said, "No, the scenery here is very beautiful. I have wanted to come here for a long time, and the trees planted by the emperor are really beautiful."

The Fifth Prince: "..."

Are you crazy? Daxia people are ***, I am *****.

The emperor was standing at the door with his men. King Jing saw him from afar and hurriedly took a few quick steps forward.

"Why did your majesty come out?"

The emperor smiled and said, "I will come out to greet my third brother."

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for many days, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.

An Jiu served them tea and then left.

The emperor first asked about things in the south.

King Jing said: "In addition to the surprise attack by General Zhenyuan, there is another very important reason why we were able to succeed so smoothly this time. There was a civil strife in Chu."

The emperor had read it in the letter before, but King Jing emphasized it again, which shows that the State of Chu was really in chaos.

King Jing said: "The Emperor of Chu has too many sons, but only a few hold power."

The emperor listened carefully.

According to King Jing, of the two sons the King of Chu valued the most, one was the eldest prince, who was very outstanding in both civil and military affairs, but his family background was not very high. It was the eldest prince who led the troops in the war with Daxia this time, so when the King of Chu was seriously ill, the eldest prince went back without hesitation. If he had not gone back, even if he won the war, it would have been just a favor to others.

The eldest prince's strongest competitor is the crown prince, who was born to the queen. He has very ordinary qualifications, but he has a good family background and has not made any major mistakes, so he has not been deposed until now.

The emperor took a sip of tea and asked, "What's the situation with these two people who came to the capital?"

King Jing's usually serious face suddenly showed a cunning smile.

"These two are twins, a boy and a girl. When they were born, the princes of Chu were all grown up. Logically, they had no chance to fight for power, but their mother was the famous Concubine Dong of Chu."

Concubine Dong was the most favored concubine in the harem, very famous in the State of Chu, and had a very strong hand.

and……

"He has great ambitions." King Jing whispered, "The Fifth Prince is not as good as the First Prince in terms of both military and literary skills, and his birth is not as good as the Crown Prince's, but he also wants to have a piece of the pie."

The emperor thought of it immediately.

The Chu State only had so much meat, so Concubine Dong and her companions had no choice but to seek external help.

Now in the entire Dongzhou continent, the strongest foreign aid is Daxia.

"So that's how it is." said the emperor.

King Jing felt that what he said was unnecessary. The emperor had many spies, and he had experienced this deeply during the war. It was impossible for the emperor not to know this news.

King Jing glanced at him and said teasingly, "The Sixth Princess is here for you."

The emperor nodded. He naturally understood that what foreign aid could be more powerful than marriage?

However, marriage is out of the question, but he is more than happy to muddy the waters of the State of Chu.

After saying this, King Jing's expression suddenly became serious.

"What's going on in the palace these days?"

He was planning to ask Prince Duan to accompany the Fifth Prince of Chu, but he found out that such a big thing had happened in Prince Duan's mansion and Prince Duan was imprisoned in the mansion.

King Jing certainly believed the emperor, but believing was one thing, he also wanted to know the whole story.

The emperor did not hide anything from him and told him everything.

King Jing slammed his fist on the table.

"You mean, my mother was framed by them..."

The emperor nodded: "My third brother's mother and my mother are both framed and used by Concubine Shu..."

King Jing's face turned ashen, and his chest heaved with anger.

"Damn Chu people!!!"

He had never hated the people of Chu so much before, and he wished he could pick up a knife and kill Concubine Shu right now.

The emperor patted his shoulder and said, "They are prisoners now and can't cause any big trouble. Besides, I have found out that the King of Jin of Chu has already arrived in Daxia. I will never let the instigator go. Don't worry, third brother. I will definitely take revenge."

King Jing still felt unsatisfied, so he asked, "What about Prince Duan? His mother did such a thing, how dare he say he didn't know?"

The emperor said nothing.

Does Prince Duan know?

He felt that he might not know it, but he must be able to sense something.

But he didn't say anything, he acquiesced and indulged his mother.

now……

King Jing slammed the table and stood up.

"I'll go ask him."

Among so many brothers, he has the best relationship with Prince Duan except the emperor.

He wanted to ask whether he should stand on the side of Daxia and his brothers, or on the side of the Chu people.
