Chapter 355: Something about Chu

"Do you think I can still go back to Chu?" The fifth prince asked as he sat on the steps, looking at the moon above his head.

He no longer had the arrogance he had when he first came to Da Xia. He now looked listless and worried.

News from the State of Chu came one after another.

Gao Ping is now the King of Chu. He is a madman, a pervert, and a complete tyrant.

His mother was driven to the temple, so many of his brothers died, and his sister... her life or death is uncertain.

The fifth prince went from being full of expectations at the beginning to being completely disappointed now.

An Tai had no sympathy for him. He looked at the moon above his head and said, "For you, staying in Daxia is much better than in Chu."

An Tai is not well educated, but he always speaks the truth.

If the fifth prince returns to Chu now, death will be waiting for him.

The tyrant of Chu would not allow him to live.

Of course the Fifth Prince knew.

So he felt uncomfortable.

He was also very scared.

The State of Chu became his homeland to which he could never return.

He somewhat understood An Tai's feelings back then.

An Tai sneered. He understood nothing. How could a prince be compared to a male favorite?

How did the fifth prince bully him back then?

Now, he provides the Fifth Prince and these Chu people with good food and drink every day.

It’s unfair when you think about it.

Moreover, he was definitely in a much better situation than the Sixth Princess.

The wind is a little gentle.

It gently scratched An Tai's heart.

I don’t know what happened to the Sixth Princess.

It must be difficult.

I don't know how she stayed in Chu.

It really doesn't work...

An Tai felt that he could take her away if she wanted.

"You don't want to?"

The Sixth Princess wore a silver mask on half of her face. The other half of her face was cold and beautiful, but her eyes were filled with mockery.

"Brother, can't you see the situation clearly?" She gently stroked the eldest prince's face.

"Gao Ping has gone crazy. If he continues like this, the Chu State will be finished."

The person on the bed is the eldest prince of Chu.

He had been fighting with Gao Ping for decades, and when Gao Ping came to power, he certainly would not let him go.

Not only did he abuse his wife, he also cut the tendons in his hands and feet.

He has become a complete useless person, and he doesn't know when Gao Ping will kill him.

But he was unwilling to give up.

He looked at the Sixth Princess in front of him with resentment.

"Even if I am willing to hand over the things, you can't keep them." The eldest prince said through gritting his teeth.

The Sixth Princess smiled and said, "Whether I can protect it or not depends on my ability."

The eldest prince was silent.

Gao Ping's rise to power was not actually glorious.

Before this, the King of Chu pretended to be sick and tricked the eldest prince back in order to seize his military power.

He really made every possible effort for Gao Ping.

But he himself did not expect that his son Gao Ping, whom he had been protecting so much, and who he thought would outlive the Emperor of Chu, would ascend to the throne himself, but the Emperor of Chu actually pretended to be sick, and it seemed that it was unknown how long he would live.

This is so disappointing.

He has been pretending for so many years and doesn't want to pretend anymore.

So Gao Ping and others are not up to the mark.

He felt that the old man was ignorant of the times and died too late.

How can he take power if he doesn't die?

What are you doing occupying the throne?

When you get old you should die.

So I decided to do it thoroughly.

Gao Ping caused his father to die suddenly.

He ascended the throne himself.

Everything went smoothly.

Only...

The jade seal of Chu State disappeared.

Without the imperial seal, the throne would be unstable and illegitimate.

Rumors began to spread.

Gao Ping searched the entire palace but couldn't find the seal.

He couldn't have imagined that the imperial seal would be in the hands of the eldest prince.

This is the escape route the eldest prince left for himself.

But he is a useless person now.

He doesn't need it anymore.

only……

He looked at the Sixth Princess, not knowing whether he should believe her.

What if she was sent by Gao Ping?

The Sixth Princess saw through his thoughts, and he took off his mask in front of the First Prince.

The eldest prince's eyes widened.

"Le Yu..." The eldest prince felt a little uncomfortable: "How did you become like this?"

The Sixth Princess laughed: "Brother, our enemies are the same."

The eldest prince looked at her and smiled, then finally nodded.

Gao Ping must die.

…

It was already winter when there was news from Chu again.

The emperor leaned back on the couch, waiting for his servant to peel pine nuts for him.

An Jiu was speechless.

The emperor was particularly confident: "I didn't eat a single one from that bag."

An Jiu believed it and felt a little guilty, wondering if she had gone too far and was too partial to the little tyrant.

Then I heard...

[How strange, I actually have the memory of eating pine nuts. ]

[It really tastes good. Let Xiaojiu peel more for me. ]

【Hahaha. 】

So he lay on the couch with his mouth open, and An Jiu peeled one and he ate one...

An Jiu was speechless.

I didn't want to bother with him. I felt like I was back in first grade, meeting a mean boy classmate.

Lin San came. He glanced at the emperor and complained madly in his heart.

Your Majesty, do you still remember that you are the emperor?

What is he doing?

"What's the matter?" The emperor was dissatisfied with Lin San. This guy was a fool, okay, but why was he so stupid?

[Is it contagious? ]

An Jiu "..."

I really want to put the remaining pine nuts on this kid's head.

Lin San handed over a letter.

The emperor glanced at it and then stood up.

An Jiu looked at the emperor's expression and felt that something big was about to happen.

really……

The emperor turned around, smiled and said to her: "Gaoping is dead."

Gaoping?

An Jiu reacted.

Isn’t Gao Ping the new Emperor of Chu?

He died...

Is it related to the Sixth Princess?

The emperor's face was full of excitement: "The eldest prince is deposed, and the fifth prince is in our hands."

His chance has come.

The State of Chu was bound to be in chaos, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, severely damage the State of Chu, and then he would slowly deal with them.

You can't get fat in one bite, and it's not easy to annex a country.

The emperor understood this truth deeply.

Don't be in a hurry, he will take his time.

The emperor summoned many people and talked for a long time in his study.

Soon, King Jing led his men to surround the Chu State Villa and took the fifth prince into custody.

An Tai walked forward with the bucket and asked.

"what happens?"

King Jing knew that he was An Jiu's brother, so he patiently said, "Gao Ping is dead."

Antaeus' bucket fell to the ground.

Gao Ping...is dead...

what does that mean?

Who will be the next emperor? An Tai looked at the confused Fifth Prince in the crowd, and then glanced in the direction of the imperial city. He felt that the dog brother-in-law must be planning something.

Fifth Prince, oh, Fifth Prince, you are such a cheap and useful chess piece.

Chu State.

Gao Ping was found dead in his own bedroom, stabbed to death.

The Princess of Dai killed him in his sleep and then committed suicide...

There's something weird about it.

Logically speaking, it should be checked carefully.

But who will check?

The person is already dead.

Finally died.

Gao Ping's death made everyone feel relieved.

Whether you follow him or not.

Everyone wanted him dead.

The Sixth Princess's mask emitted a faint silver glow under the candlelight.

She was thinking, if her father knew that the son he had spent more than ten years cultivating had died just like that...

I don’t know what expression he had down there.

It must be very exciting.

The Sixth Princess laughed.

Her smile attracted a lot of people's attention.

Some people doubted her.

After all, when Gao Ping died, he had no offspring, so the next person to ascend the throne should be the fifth prince.

Because Gao Ping was a ruthless bastard, he was afraid that someone would usurp the throne, so he killed all the princes who might compete with him for the throne.

Only the fifth prince escaped the disaster because he stayed in Daxia as a hostage.

It's really God's will.
