Chu Li's day is very fulfilling, as he practices in the morning and works in the afternoon.
But remember Master’s teachings: One should not waste time.
Even at night, you should make good use of it.
"I'm going out now and will be back at night. Just leave the door open for me." Chu Li changed into a clean and refreshing set of clothes.
Chuyi hurriedly said:
"Miss, it's already night, aren't you going to sleep?"
Chu Li sighed:
"Master once taught me that there is no need to sleep for a long time when alive. After death, we will definitely sleep for a long time. Life is short. I don't need to sleep that long every day."
He patted her shoulder and said, "Let's go."
Chuyi looked at the young lady's back as she walked away and couldn't help but sigh: She is worthy of being the daughter of a wealthy family. Even her thoughts are different from those of ordinary people like them.
Yunyao Theater.
"good!"
"Wonderful!"
On the stage, sounds were heard, human figures were seen overlapping in the flickering candlelight, and the audience was clapping and cheering, one sound surpassing the other.
The best position on the second floor is directly facing the stage, and you can have a panoramic view of the scene on the stage.
However, since this very expensive VIP box has been booked, the boss will naturally provide the best service to this distinguished guest.
"A big boss has come to Yunyao Theater. Have you heard about it?"
"I heard that Master Lan Yuan's song "Gusu City" made the big boss very satisfied, and he was rewarded with a thousand taels overnight!"
"Wow, you're so generous?"
For an ordinary family, ten taels of silver is enough to cover expenses for a year.
Spending thousands of taels of silver in one night for an actor, isn't this the God of Wealth appearing in the world?
As soon as the news came out, many actors were moved and offered suggestions and used their best skills to try their best to please this distinguished guest.
In the box.
While drinking, Chu Li was dazzled by the sight of a group of fat and thin men trying their best to please her.
Singing, playing the piano, dancing, performing arts...
Dazzling.
No wonder men from ancient times to the present love to have three wives and four concubines, and to be fickle-minded. But then again, if such temptations were placed in front of her, she would not be able to keep her integrity as a woman for even a single day.
Questioning men.
Understand men.
Become a man.
Surpass men.
Young Master Lan Yuan frowned. How could he watch his distinguished guest being snatched away by others?
He thought deeply that no matter how much he played, sang and danced, it was just superficial work with a new soup but the essence remained the same. After seeing and hearing it too much, it was nothing more than that.
A light bulb went off in my head.
He took a step forward and lifted his robe, revealing his eight white and strong abdominal muscles.
"good!!"
Chu Li's eyes widened, and he jumped up and clapped: "Reward, big reward!"
-
The imperial capital city is hundreds of miles away.
Seven days have passed, and the princes who were arguing for the throne have calmed down and reacted:
The emperor's uncle did it on purpose!
He wants them to kill each other so that he can reap the benefits.
So, they stopped fighting among themselves, and the second prince gave a suggestion: "Why don't we work together to elect Prince Xian to the throne? Prince Xian is a man who is easy to control. If the imperial power is always in the hands of the regent, it will be the most disadvantageous to us. The regent is trying to delay time."
"What Second Brother said makes sense."
They reached a consensus.
The sixth prince Chu Yi finds Chu Aotian.
At that time, Chu Aotian had just come out of Prince Xian's Mansion, carrying a basket of gold and silver ingots, incense, candles and paper money. Today was the seventh day after Chu Li's death.
He planned to go to Qingyang Mountain to visit Chu Li.
"Eighth brother."
When Chu Aotian saw the Sixth Prince, he thought to himself:
What trouble have you made again?
commit a sin!
The Emperor's uncle drinks all day long, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and doesn't care about court affairs at all. The Sixth Emperor's coming to look for him must have bad intentions.
Chu Yi came over with a smile: "Where are you going, Eighth Brother?"
There was something wrong with the smile on his face.
Chu Aotian secretly asked, "Sixth Brother, is there anything wrong?"
Chu Yi said, "Look at what you said. If there is nothing wrong, I can't come. It's because my retainer came back from the North City yesterday and brought back a pot of good wine that can only be found in the North City. I brought it here specially to share with you."
"Come on, come on, let's sit down and have a couple of drinks, brothers."
Chu Aotian couldn't figure out what he meant for a moment.
Flatter?
To please?
Or a trap?
Although he was a prince, he had mediocre talent and no ambition, so almost no officials were willing to curry favor with him.
Could it be that Sixth Brother poisoned the wine?
Chu Yi poured two glasses of wine and said with a smile:
"What? You don't dare drink it? Are you afraid that I'll poison you?"
After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that he had drunk it, Chu Aotian immediately said, "Sixth brother, it's too polite to say that. Brothers like you and I shouldn't say such strange things."
After saying that, he also drank some wine.
After the two of them had a few drinks and talked for a while, Chu Yi let him go.
Chu Aotian brought incense and paper and went to visit Chu Li’s grave.
Chu Yi looked at the carriage going away, the smile on his face gradually solidified, he took out a pill from his arms and put it into his mouth.
There's poison in the wine.
However, it won't happen immediately.
Wait until they join hands to overthrow the regent and push Prince Xian to the throne. By then, Prince Xian's life will be in his hands. If he wants to survive, he will have to exchange the throne for it.
The throne is his!
The carriage slowly drove away.
Chu Aotian wiped his throat and guessed the purpose of the Sixth Prince's actions today, but he still couldn't figure it out. Walking through the busy streets, he heard a few unexpected voices:
"The Ninth Prince is suspected of being gay...really...when did it happen...did anyone see it?"
He immediately drew aside the curtains:
"parking."
Leaning over to take a look, I saw two men who looked like guards. Judging from their attire and accents, they didn't seem to be from the Imperial City.
Why would two outsiders ask about Ninth Brother?
Besides, the death of the ninth brother is a national mourning. Everyone in the Chu State knows about it. How could they not know about it?
Chu Aotian was suspicious and thought for a moment: "Uncle Zhang, wait here for a while, I'll go over and take a look."
