"You!" The Emperor of Chu pointed at her with a trembling finger, "You! You!"
What a traitor!
He already had a hidden illness and had been recuperating for days. Now he was so angry that he spat out blood.
"I am old, but not dead. I can no longer discipline you. Come! Drag this rebellious son away and give him thirty lashes. When you are done, throw him to the palace in the suburbs!"
"Why are you so angry, brother?"
Outside the door, there was a steady sound of footsteps.
Chu Li turned his head, "Uncle?"
Why hasn't he left yet?
How could he be here?
Isn't he here to die?
When the King of Chu saw him, he became alert.
"Don't worry, my emperor. I'm alone." Chu Dichi raised his hands, his sleeves were empty, and he didn't even have a knife on him.
"Xiaojiu, you go out first."
Chu Li looked at him in astonishment: "Uncle..."
"obedient."
A few brief exchanges have already shown that the two of them have the same stance.
She was on his side, and he was naturally on her side.
They are on the same path.
Chu Li was very worried, but how could she butt in on the matter between two elders? She had no choice but to limp out of the bedroom. As she left, she heard Chu Dichi say:
"Xiaojiu is still young, why should I punish her, my brother? A child doesn't understand anything."
The door was closed.
Chu Li sat on the steps outside, with sore eyes.
She was almost beaten with a stick and thrown out of the palace.
The emperor's uncle is back again.
It's over.
I'm afraid it's all over.
In the sleeping hall.
When the door closed, Chu Dichi's pleading face disappeared. He brushed his sleeves and sat down on the armchair with a bold gesture. He looked so contented as if he had returned home.
The King of Chu looked at him, "Are you here to plead for Chu Li?"
"Um?"
Chu Dichi picked up the tribute orange on the table and peeled it a little, "No, I am here to warn my brother."
"?"
He peeled the orange slowly, "Over the years, when I was stationed in the southern border, I secretly raised 50,000 soldiers, as well as the Black Armor Guards. Although the military tokens were taken away by my brother, they are all brothers who have followed me through thick and thin. As long as I give an order, they will obey my command even without the military tokens."
The King of Chu was furious.
He actually raised troops privately!
"You want to rebel?"
"My royal brother is ill and confused, why should I rebel?" He ate a piece of tribute tangerine, which was sweet.
"When the late emperor passed away, he left behind a will. I'm afraid that will is a big worry for you, my brother. I'm afraid your nightmare will come true. I have found the lost will."
"If we make it public..."
Chu Di hesitated and spoke in a low voice, the ups and downs of his tone seemed to catch the breath of the Emperor Chu.
The will...
He found the will? !
The guilty conscience in the eyes of the Emperor Chu could not be hidden.
The late emperor was partial to his youngest son and even after his death, he left behind a will, the contents of which must have been related to Chu Dichi.
Over the years, he sent people to search for it everywhere, tried to destroy it, and turned the palace upside down, but still couldn't find it.
It is actually in Chu Dichi's hands!
If it were made public...
He didn't dare think about the consequences.
"Royal brother, Xiaojiu is my most beloved nephew. Please don't bully the child, understand?" Chu Dichi picked another orange slice and put it in his mouth.
Is this the tone of begging?
The corners of the Chu Emperor's lips twitched, and when he wanted to say something, he felt a little apprehensive...
A quarter of an hour later.
The door opened.
Chu Li turned around immediately and saw Chu Dichi holding on to the wall and staggering out.
"Uncle!"
"Xiao Jiu? It's okay." Chu Dichi stroked her face gently, looking dazed, "Don't worry, no one dares to hit you, and no one will throw you out of the palace. Go back to Zhaolan Palace. From now on, you will still be the emperor's most beloved ninth prince."
Chu Li's heart tightened:
"What did you do?"
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to beat her to death, but he actually changed his mind?
He said, "I beg him, Xiaojiu, I kneel down and beg him."
