"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince has fainted from the pain."
Chu Dichi glanced at it coldly, "Carry it back."
Leave in anger.
Outside the Ministry of Punishment, the secret guard Chong Feng stepped forward quickly and said, "Master, you are still injured. Why bother coming to the Ministry of Punishment in person? What if the emperor catches you..."
During this triumphant return to the capital, the ambushes and assassinations encountered on the way were the best way to show their power.
The Emperor cannot tolerate a Regent.
The more achievements the regent made, the more fearful the emperor became.
If the regent has not made any achievements and only has an empty title, he will be impeached and suppressed by all officials and his power will be seized.
Chu Dichi's voice was as cold as ice:
"The emperor doesn't tolerate me, and he has used strange methods. I will use all of these methods to repay his most beloved youngest son!"
-
When I woke up, I was in Zhaolan Palace.
"The medicine is ready... get the candied fruit... someone... go quickly..."
Chu Li was in a daze when he heard the woman's gentle voice, which was as warm as a spring. He immediately opened his eyes wide:
"Mother!"
In front of the bed.
Concubine Wen, who was just in her early thirties, was dressed elegantly and luxuriously, and her every move was gentle and noble.
Chu Li's eyes became hot, and he threw himself into her arms and complained:
"Mother! The Emperor's uncle bullies me again!"
Concubine Wen anxiously supported her and scolded:
"You are still injured, kid! If your blood gets on my new clothes, I will not forgive you!"
"..."
Chu Li was silent for a while, and his sanity had recovered to a certain extent.
He covered his painful buttocks and lay back on the bed trembling, his eyes filled with tears. He bit his lower lip, feeling so aggrieved that he couldn't be more aggrieved.
"How many times have I told you not to provoke your uncle? Even your father doesn't dare to provoke him easily."
Concubine Wen took the medicine bowl from the palace maid.
"Fortunately, he was kind and didn't beat you to death."
"..."
The regent of the Great Chu State cannot be offended.
Chu Li has known this since childhood.
Eighteen years ago, the late emperor died suddenly without leaving any will. The next day, the current emperor ascended the throne as crown prince.
But over the years, disputes between the DPRK and China have continued:
Some court officials believed that it was reasonable for the emperor to succeed the eldest son according to the system of primogeniture.
Some court officials believed that the late emperor had always favored the youngest son, Chu Dichi, and that the youngest son had been intelligent and outstanding since childhood. In recent years, he had commanded his own troops, won many battles, and was very popular among the people. Therefore, he was the best successor.
The throne is disputed.
The Regent was suspected of having rebellious intentions.
Chu Li, who only wanted to be a parasite, touched his chest and swore:
From childhood to adulthood, she had never provoked the Regent.
It's him!
Every time, he deliberately picked on her!
"Mother, if my uncle has any intention of being disloyal, he can just fight for the throne. Does he want to kill me just because my father has favored me since I was a child... Ugh!"
Before she could finish her words, Concubine Wen covered her mouth.
This kid!
Walls have ears.
How dare you say such things in the deep palace? Aren't you afraid of being heard by others, caught and beheaded?
"From now on, don't say such treasonous words again!"
“Mmmmm!”
knew!
Concubine Wen released her mouth, and Chu Li said, "Mother, I don't want to dress as a man anymore."
Concubine Wen was so frightened that her butt slipped and she almost sat on the ground:
"Oh my God, you want to kill me!"
"If this matter is exposed, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. You, me, and even the entire Wen family will suffer."
"Li'er, although you are not my biological child, ask yourself, mother has treated you well since you were a child. Please let mother and her family go!"
"..."
Chu Li choked.
"I know that when my mother gave birth, she had to resort to this as a temporary measure, but I can't live like this forever..."
First, if she doesn’t get married and have children when she reaches that age, she will definitely be exposed.
Second, she was afraid that the Regent would kill her sooner or later.
Third, taking the initiative is better than being exposed passively. At least they have room to prepare and keep the consequences to the lowest minimum.
Didn't Concubine Wen understand her difficulties?
well.
Sighed:
"It's all because my mother was young and hot-tempered back then, and she was just gambling with that bitch Xinfei."
However, she quickly gave her daughter some advice:
"Princess, pretending to be a prince is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. Moreover, you are a foreigner adopted by me."
"But if you can accomplish a great deed that can offset the crime of deceiving the emperor, you may be forgiven by the emperor."
Chu Li looked up, his eyes full of expectation:
"Please teach me, mother."
Concubine Wen thought for a moment and said:
"Why don't you go and retake Southern Xinjiang?"
"?"
Southern Xinjiang is a vast territory with many barbarians and witchcraft. It is a mysterious and gloomy place. In recent years, the Regent has led four expeditions but has failed to retake Southern Xinjiang.
Let her, a little girl who has never left the house and is weak and powerless, recover the territory.
"Mother, do you think your son's life is too long?"
Concubine Wen added: "If not, you go and unify the continent."
"???"
Is she her daughter, or the turtle in the wishing well?
Just open your mouth and talk.
If she could unify the continent, would she still be lying here racking her brains?
"At worst, you can become the emperor and issue an edict to pardon yourself."
“???”
Oh my god!
I love you, mother!
She has eight older brothers and a regent who is eyeing her covetously.
"You asked me to fight for the throne and go against my uncle and brothers. Are you worried that my uncle will not be able to kill me?"
Concubine Wen clapped her hands loudly, feeling very disappointed with her:
"Look, it's not that mother doesn't want to help you, it's just that I've proposed so many ways, but you don't want to do them."
"My dear, I really can't help you."
Chu Li: “…”
Why did it suddenly go dark in front of me?
What covered her eyes?
oh.
It turned out to be a dark future with a fall to the bottom.
Knock knock——
Outside the door, Concubine Wen's trusted maid whispered, "Your Majesty, Master Chongfeng from the Regent's side has arrived. He is here to look for the Ninth Prince."
When Chu Li heard the three words "Regent", he felt a sharp pain in his buttocks.
"Son, don't talk back to your uncle. Just be patient and it will pass. Your uncle is such an arrogant person that he won't bully a loser."
Concubine Wen gave a few instructions and left first.
"?"
Who is the waste?
Soon, Zhong Feng, dressed in tight clothes and with an indifferent look, walked into the hall:
"Greetings, Ninth Prince."
When Chu Li saw him, he clenched his teeth secretly.
Why are you pretending to be polite?
She knows exactly what kind of person he is and what kind of person Chu Dichi is!
"What's the matter?"
Chong Feng bowed and said, "I am here on the orders of the Regent King to present a beauty to the Ninth Prince."
Bang!
After the applause died down, a beautiful lady with a slender figure and a waist as soft as a willow walked slowly outside the hall. She was neatly dressed in a light gauze dress that was slightly transparent, revealing her alluring charm.
"The Regent said that you, the Ninth Prince, have reached the age of tying your hair. If you have any needs in that regard, you can ask the Emperor for permission or tell him. But there is really no need to do such a shameful thing as peeping at someone bathing. You have the intention but not the courage to do it."
"!!"
Chu Li’s eyes almost popped out.
What did he say?
say what? !
She peeked at him taking a bath. Was she coveting his beauty?
If it weren't for the injury on her hip, she would have jumped three feet high on the spot in anger.
That damn Chu Dichi, she was lying on the bed unable to move, and he took the opportunity to ruin her reputation everywhere outside!
