Chu Li felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The eighth brother's eyes bulged out from hunger. He couldn't bear to think about the suffering he had endured over the past few days, but at least he was still alive.
At least I'm still alive.
"Don't worry about whether it's a human or a ghost," Xiao Yexing strode in from outside the door.
"Take this in your hand first."
Bang!
A bright yellow scroll slapped into Chu Aotian's hand.
Chu Aotian was confused: "?"
Before he had time to look down, Chu Li had already supported his shoulders, "You get up first."
Xiao Yexing threw aside a luxurious brocade robe and put it on Chu Aotian.
Chu Li took out a belt inlaid with rubies and tied it around his waist.
Xiao Yexing took out the dragon totem jade pendant and hung it on his belt.
Chu Li picked up the crown made of South China Sea luminous pearls inlaid with agate, put it on his head, and tied the belt for him.
The two of them went back and forth, one on the left and one on the right, and quickly cleaned up Chu Aotian.
Chu Aotian must have been hungry for too long. His eyes were blurry and his mind was not working well. He felt that he was pushed and turned around by the two of them. He felt dizzy.
"?"
Before he could even react, Chu Li led him out.
What a big sun!
So dazzling!
Chu Aotian had been locked in the house without a drop of water. When he suddenly saw such a strong light, he almost got blinded by it.
Subconsciously reaching out to block it, he stumbled a few steps, and in a daze he heard a voice that shot straight into the sky:
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
The butt sank.
Being forced to sit on a cold chair.
Chu Aotian's eyes shuddered, and he saw a sea of people kneeling in the square outside the Dacheng Hall.
Civil and military officials, palace maids, eunuchs, guards, imperial guards...there were so many of them, as densely packed as ants.
Wha-what’s happening?
Did he really starve to death?
Did he ascend to heaven?
Dreaming about the months when you were emperor?
Chu Li looked at the black-robed man standing next to the dragon throne and said, "Uncle, it's done."
Everyone is here.
"Yeah." Chu Dichi glanced at Chu Aotian before raising his eyes to look at the people below.
They are the people of Great Chu and the country of Great Chu.
"Everyone, since the King of Chu was paralyzed, the internal affairs of the country have been unstable. Until today, there have been several ups and downs. Regardless of prosperity or decline, the people are the ones who suffer the most."
"Now, today, I will pass on my order that Great Chu will rest and recuperate, exempt the people from taxes for three years, vigorously develop the economy, and enhance national strength..."
The man's steady and powerful voice, supported by his inner strength, spread out and reached everyone's ears clearly.
Everyone listened carefully.
Who wouldn’t want to rest and recuperate, and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous life?
Who doesn’t want stability!
Now, following the order from the Regent, all civil and military officials have become motivated and are ready to work together to build a better future!
After a full half hour, Chu Dichi finished speaking and said "dismiss the court", ending everything.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Xiao Yexing patted Chu Aotian's shoulder.
"Congratulations."
Bai Jinyi walked up to him and shook his hand in congratulations.
"Ah?" Chu Aotian was confused. "Congratulations, congratulations?"
"Congratulations, Eighth Brother." Chu Li shook his hand. "From now on, Great Chu will count on you. You must work hard."
"Congratulations..."
"Congratulations……"
The sounds of congratulations were like a tide and a torrent, almost overwhelming Chu Aotian.
However, Chu Li remembered something important.
That’s right!
Almost forgot!
She stretched out her hands, untied the tie around Chu Aotian's chin, and took off the extremely luxurious crown.
"The throne is yours, Eighth Brother, and you give this to me."
This is what she promised to give to the Eight Vajra.
Along the way, the Eight Vajra were very reliable and helped her a lot. One should be honest and must give what one promised to others.
Chu Aotian only felt his forehead become bald and his head felt light.
My head feels cold.
There is an illusion that the top of the head has been blown off.
"?" He subconsciously hugged his bald head and touched it to make sure his scalp was still there.
Who can tell him what happened?
Wasn’t he captured by Chu Yeli and a pitiful prisoner?
Concubine Xin stood not far away, watching this scene, covering her mouth, trying hard not to let the tears flow out.
"My son."
Successful.
This is really a breakthrough.
"My ancestors were not lying to me. Foolish people do have good fortune."
So far.
The outcome has been decided.
"Madam, Master Guiyi has woken up." Chongfeng came to report.
Chu Li's eyes turned cold, and he placed the luxurious crown into Chong Feng's hand, "Take me there."
Sky prison.
It was dark and dirty, the air was filled with the smell of blood, the walls were covered with torture instruments, and bonfires were burning, making it look particularly gloomy and terrifying.
In a cell, Master Guiyi, still wearing the blood-stained cassock, was lying on the ground in a mess.
The wrists and ankles have been bandaged, but the broken tendons cannot be reconnected and the limbs are disabled.
The abdominal wound was treated and was not life-threatening.
With Bai Jinyi around, even if Master Guiyi is about to die, he will be pulled back from the gates of hell.
Besides, dying like this would be a good thing for him.
"Chu Li..."
He heard footsteps and crawled on the ground like a dirty and disgusting rat, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"Tanuki... Tanuki, you're here. Are you here to let me out?"
"My dear daughter, I know you are filial. After all, we are father and daughter connected by blood. You sent someone to treat me and save my life. You certainly won't bear to kill me."
Chu Li looked at the strong desire to survive in his eyes and chuckled.
Oh.
This struggle reminded her of the poor women in the cellar.
"Chongfeng, open the cell door."
Master Guiyi was very happy: "She is indeed my good daughter! She is the most promising child of mine!"
Chong Feng took out the key and opened the lock coldly.
Don't be happy so early!
He pushed open the door, grabbed Master Guiyi, and took him out of the prison.
Seeing the sun again, although Master Guiyi's wounds were painful, he was full of energy and hope:
"Li'er, you have defeated Chu Yeli, right? Have you obtained the imperial power?"
"Logically speaking, your father is still alive. As a junior, you should hand over the imperial power to him. Besides, you are a woman and will get married sooner or later. You have no right of inheritance."
He said happily:
"How about this, you give me the throne, and your father will prepare a generous dowry for you, make you the only princess of the royal family, and marry you off in a grand ceremony, okay?"
Chu Li walked in front without even turning his head, as if he didn't hear a word.
Chongfeng grabbed Master Guiyi and couldn't bear to listen to a single word.
Do you have the nerve to address the mistress and her father as your daughter?
Is he worthy?
You don't even consider your own status and are still dreaming of a great future!
Master Guiyi spoke a lot with joy, but as he spoke, he realized that the direction he was taking was not right.
"This...are we leaving the palace? Aren't we going to ascend the throne in the palace?"
