"What did you say just now? You want me to withdraw my troops?"
In a humble courtyard study in the capital, a deep and hoarse male voice rang out, breaking the silence in the snow.
There was only a pot of charcoal burning in the study. Because Chu Huaiyu fled in a hurry, he was unable to take many things out of the palace.
The capital has been in a state of panic these days. It seems that the emperor just dispatched the Imperial Guards to patrol the capital this morning, but in fact, someone from the palace had already come to his house to monitor his actions.
He had been away from the mansion for three or five days. It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Some people in the capital were already speculating that he had fled the capital with the Fifth Prince and Concubine Su. In fact, they had been hiding in the capital and had not gone anywhere.
Because he had lost his life earlier, Chu Huaiyu's emotions had been fluctuating greatly.
Now, instead of staying in her room to recuperate, Su Jinrou ran to the study and asked him to withdraw his troops.
Without that thing, Chu Huaiyu's originally sinister features now looked even more feminine.
Even the tone of his voice had a few more twists than before.
Su Jinrou raised her pale face slightly and saw that he was staring at her. His vicious eyes were like a poisonous snake, which made people shudder.
She pursed her lips slightly, remembering that her relationship with Chu Huaiyu was pretty good in the palace before, and something almost happened.
If Chu Huaiyu hadn't been useless, perhaps she wouldn't have borrowed Chu Huaifeng's body to get pregnant with a dragon son.
Shaking her head to dispel the thought in her mind, she nodded to the person in front of her, "Yes, it's not wise to take action now."
Chu Huaiyu sneered, put down the pen in his hand, walked up to her, stretched out his cold fingers to pinch her chin, and forced her to raise her head and look into his eyes.
"Then according to Your Majesty, if we don't take action now because it's not the right time, then when will be the right time?"
Li Shengyi never told her this.
Su Jinrou's expression froze, her face grim. "After all, you have to listen to me on this matter. I've served His Majesty for so many years, how could I possibly deceive you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on Chu Huaiyu's face became even brighter.
But the smile did not reach his eyes, which made Su Jinrou's soul tremble and she almost let go.
"Your Majesty? Su Jinrou, you don't really think this is the imperial palace and everyone has to obey your orders, do you?"
"If Chu Huaifeng hadn't been of some use, if he hadn't asked me to rescue you, do you think I would have taken such a big risk to save you?"
The tone of voice fell into my ears with a sneer.
After hearing what he said, Su Jinrou was so angry that her face turned pale.
Of course, what he said was true. If he hadn't sent someone to rescue her from the palace, she would have already died in the palace and wouldn't even be worthy of being in the imperial mausoleum...
Su Jinrou's whole body trembled slightly, and she didn't know why she was shaking. She looked up at Chu Huaiyu with a hint of tears in her eyes.
In the past, Chu Hong and Chu Huaifeng liked her this way the most. They said it could arouse their desire to conquer and love her.
When Chu Huaiyu saw this scene, instead of feeling pity, the sneer in his eyes deepened.
His calloused fingers gently stroked her delicate pale chin, and he bent down slightly. Just as their lips were about to touch, Su Jinrou subconsciously closed her eyes and opened her lips slightly.
Suddenly, a crisp slap was heard in the quiet study.
With a snap.
Su Jinrou turned her face to the side and opened her eyes wide with disbelief.
Raising her hand to cover her aching and swollen cheek, she turned around and glared at him, "Chu Huaiyu, you!"
This slap also made Chu Huaiyu's palm numb.
He shook his hands, and seeing the angry face in front of him, he grinned and chuckled, "Me? Concubine Su, you are no longer the Concubine Su you used to be."
"Excuse me, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with His Highness right now?"
I don't know when it started snowing outside the window, and the snow fell on the piles of snow, making a slight sound.
Su Jinrou's ears were buzzing and she couldn't hear the noise at all.
She pursed her lips, her eyes red, "If you mobilize troops now, you will only be surrounded and suppressed by the prince."
"Do you know that they are waiting for you to fall into their trap?!"
This was what Li Shengyi said to her.
After hearing this, Chu Huaiyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Seeing that he finally reacted, Su Jinrou suppressed her inner resentment and struck while the iron was hot, "Besides, Huaifeng said that General Zhao's men haven't arrived in the capital yet."
"You are now weak and alone. Raising an army to enter the palace is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree. How can you guarantee that you will be able to successfully fight for the throne?"
She did not reveal the contempt in her eyes. In Su Jinrou's view, Chu Huaiyu was no different from the eunuchs in the palace. The only difference was that he had the identity of a prince.
How can such a person be worthy of sitting on the throne?
And Chu Huaifeng is also...
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was a greater possibility that she would become the empress. Su Jinrou pursed her lips into a straight line to prevent herself from laughing.
Chu Huaiyu looked coldly at the slender figure in front of him. He returned to the desk and picked up the pen to continue copying the previous painting of winter plum blossoms.
"Did Li Shengyi teach you all these things? Did she ask you to persuade me?"
"Yes, General Zhao's troops haven't arrived yet, but how do you know that I can't defeat Chu Huaiyuan?"
"This prince has been no worse than him since childhood!"
The old things were brought up again, and Chu Huaiyu once again threw away the ink-stained pen in his hand.
The tip of the brush fell on the rice paper, staining the unfinished painting of winter plum blossoms.
Chu Huaiyu stood there stiffly, staring at Su Jinrou with his eyes fixed on her. It seemed as if his eyes were looking through her body at another scene.
Chu Huaiyu and Chu Huaiyuan were not much different in age. Because he was born to a concubine, and Chu Huaiyuan was born to the queen, Chu Huaiyuan was designated as the crown prince of the Great Chu from the moment he was born.
In order to compete with Chu Huaiyuan for the throne, over the years, no matter what Chu Huaiyuan did, he had to do better than Chu Huaiyuan.
Just because of that eunuch from my childhood, just because of that eunuch...
"If the Queen hadn't sent eunuchs to attack me... I would be the King of Great Chu, the Heaven of Great Chu!"
"And you, don't think that I don't know what you and Li Shengyi were secretly discussing in the room to harm me."
"Don't worry, since you like men so much, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"But now... someone, come! Carry Li Shengyi to my room!"
A stern shout came from the study.
The guards waiting outside the study responded immediately upon hearing the voice.
Soon, hurried footsteps were heard outside the study.
