Chu Aotian got off the carriage.
Over there, two men who looked like guards were still asking questions.
"Excuse me, are you asking about the Ninth Prince?"
The two turned their heads and looked over: "Yes, may I ask who you are..."
"I am the current Prince Xian, and I grew up with the Ninth Prince. If you want to know anything, feel free to ask me."
They were both surprised.
I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness Prince Xian on the street!
I heard that among all the princes, the Ninth Prince and Prince Xian have the best relationship.
The two of them bowed and said, "Your Highness, we are from the Wei Family Bank. A few days ago, a young man took the Ninth Prince's bank stub to withdraw money from our Jiangnan branch. Because the amount was huge, our shopkeeper was worried, so he asked us to come and investigate."
Chu Aotian was startled:
"How many days ago?"
How is this possible?
"The other party claimed that she was the concubine of the Ninth Prince."
"oh."
I see.
no.
etc!
His ninth brother actually kept a lover outside without his knowledge!
She also gave all her property to her lover without his knowledge!
Give it all to the pretty boy, leaving nothing for him? !
Chu Aotian's cheeks immediately turned red with anger, and he rushed to Qingyang Mountain, "You heartless man, we grew up together, but you secretly had an affair with a man and kept him as your lover, and you hid it so well without letting anyone know!"
That's fine.
Now, even after death, he leaves his property to outsiders.
This ungrateful person has his elbows turned outward!
"When you died, who came to your grave? Who burned incense for you? Wasn't it me? You left your family property to a gigolo, but did that gigolo ever come to your grave?"
Chu Aotian burned paper while cursing with red eyes:
"You idiot."
"Fool."
"How many gold bars must you have saved over the years? You didn't even leave any for me."
"Look at you, the grass on your grave has fallen over... Huh? Why did the grass on your grave fall over?" He grabbed a handful of sticky soil.
Did it rain last night?
"I'll help you straighten it."
He replanted the grass on the grave.
"Ninth brother, I am the only one in this world who cares about you the most. Sigh... You have fulfilled my wish when you were alive. Can you continue to bless me after you die?"
He waited a moment:
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent?"
He knelt down, clasped his hands together, and closed his eyes devoutly:
"Ninth brother, I want to be a prince, but I don't have to deal with state affairs anymore. I want a fiefdom of my own, preferably as big as five cities. I want to grow ten centimeters taller, and become as charming as my uncle. I also want..."
-
The Imperial Palace.
Linhua Palace.
The air was thick with the strong and pungent smell of alcohol. The palace, which had not been cleaned for seven days, was as messy as a doghouse. A dim figure huddled in a dark corner, like a dog that had lost its home.
Wine, poured in jugs.
He spit out blood mouthful by mouthful.
“Ahem… ahem!”
Drunk or dead?
Why does my heart still hurt so much?
“Ahem…”
The man's hand, as pale as a death, felt around, kicked over an empty wine jug, touched the wine, tilted his head back and drank it.
"Stop drinking!"
Bai Jinyi grabbed his wrist and said, "Don't you want to die?"
“Give it to me!”
The man snatched it away, took a few gulps, and coughed up some blood. The smell of blood mixed with the strong liquor poured into his throat, causing him to feel a tearing pain, making him feel like he was in the clouds, and then he was pulled back to reality.
Life is worse than death.
In my mind, some images become clearer:
"Uncle, uncle..."
Xiaojiu!
He huddled in a corner, buried his head in his elbows, and cried uncontrollably, "Xiaojiu!"
Bai Jinyi's breathing became tight.
In all the years we've known each other, have I ever seen him like this?
"Don't you hate her? Ah Chi, she was the one who killed Aunt Zhu..."
"I hate her, I hate her, but I love her even more!"
He wanted to kill her more than once to put an end to it all, but she was so resolute and optimistic every time, like a tenacious dodder growing in the dark and corrupt royal family.
She was always so cheerful and funny.
Even if the eldest prince framed her, the emperor used her, the third prince plotted against her, the queen instigated her... even if everyone used her, she could always get away cleverly.
Slowly, he wavered.
It was not until she collapsed in his arms, losing her life bit by bit, that he realized how much he couldn't live without her.
"She died... She died in my arms, and she bled a lot... My hands were covered in her blood, the hot blood was flowing out, just like her life, like quicksand between my fingers, I couldn't catch it no matter how hard I tried..."
She's dead!
Bai Jinyi squatted beside him:
"Look at what you look like now! You don't know whether to live or die. You have no wife or children anyway, so you might as well just die! Let Chu Li die in vain!"
"Don't even take revenge on her!"
"Give all the kingdom and land to Nanman, and give Da Chu to Nanman as well. You will die now and accompany her!"
At this time, another voice came from outside the door:
"Jinyi, what are you talking about?"
It’s Xiao Yexing.
He walked over quickly, apparently in some emergency.
Bai Jinyi said angrily, "He has been drunk for seven or eight days. It would be better for him to die!"
"If he dies, Great Chu will really become a possession of the Southern Barbarians."
Xiao Yexing took out a secret letter from his sleeve:
"Urgent report from below, the eldest princess of the Nanman has occupied the three states of Mo and Huai, and is secretly mobilizing troops. Within half a month, a hundred thousand troops will arrive in Mo and Huai."
Bai Jinyi grabbed the secret letter and asked, "What is she going to do?"
The two countries have signed a fifty-year peace treaty.
She was secretly gathering troops. Was she planning to break the agreement? To start a war?
"The Chu State is in turmoil. How can Ah Chi manage a country in his current state? The Southern Barbarians want to take advantage of the situation and attack our country. This is the best opportunity. How could they miss it?"
"hateful!"
Achi has already given the territories of the three states of Nanjiang, Mohuai to the Nanman. Unexpectedly, the Nanman had such evil ambitions that he wanted to annex the entire Chu State!
"Report!"
At this time, a young eunuch came running over:
"Your Highness, Prince Xian has something to report."
Xiao Yexing tilted his head and said, "We have important matters to discuss. Please let Prince Xian put the matter aside."
The young eunuch was suspicious: "But Prince Xian said that his matter is also very important..."
"No matter how big the matter is, it's not as important as the war! Why don't you retreat?"
"yes."
The young eunuch dared not say anything more.
Outside the Linhua Palace, Chu Aotian, who was waiting, felt his head buzzing.
The emperor’s uncle didn’t even want to see him?
All right.
He also planned to report his ninth brother's lover to his uncle and ask his uncle to recover the huge gold bar.
Since childhood, my father has always loved to reward me, my ninth brother, with small gold bars whenever he is happy.
Over the past ten years, he must have accumulated a box of small gold bars.
He felt bad because he gave everything to outsiders!
Gold!
Gold!
I can’t imagine how cheerful he would be if I gave him these little gold bars.
"Biejiu."
"The servant is here."
"Send someone to Jiangnan to check who this concubine of my ninth brother is and why he is so capable that he cheated my ninth brother out of all his inheritance."
