On the way back to the house after leaving the Yi Prince's Mansion, Xia Yanwu leaned in the car sedan and frowned deeply. Thinking about his journey to the peak of power of the Great Chu Empire step by step, he couldn't help but lose his mind and was a little confused! He, who had always been neutral in the court, was actually tied to the ship of the Yi Prince, or rather, he was obviously standing opposite to the second prince Chu Yidao. This was not the result he wanted for him, or the Xia family!

The Xia clan's roots originated from Lu, and can be regarded as a family of officials. His ancestors have been mingling in the officialdom for generations, but there are basically few people who can reach his level! During the Yanlu Rebellion, Chu Liyuan, the emperor of the imperial rebellion, was naturally extremely angry. Although the Yanlu Rebellion was finally quelled, Chu Liyuan almost completely cracked down on all the families of officials in Lu. Even as the left prime minister of the Great Chu Empire, he still failed to avoid the Xia clan's

The tribesmen who served in Lu were suffering this disaster, and the officialdom was always full of intrigue. Although he was the left prime minister, he was still jealous and impeached. In order to avoid causing trouble to ruin his future, Xia Yanwu destroyed his relatives for justice and took the initiative to draw a clear line with the tribesmen of Lu. Even Xia Zixi, who lost her family's protection and support at that time, was forced to agree to bring her to the imperial capital under Xia Ziyue's pleading!

Many times, being in a high position is worthy of envy and admiration for many people, but they do not know that behind this glamorousness, what they do that are difficult to speak of or even unwilling to think of! Xia Yanwu can always be steadily beneficial to the imperial capital, and those actions that went against his will. Perhaps he was not wrong from his position. At least, the Xia clan's lineage has stood at a height that countless people can't reach in their lifetime!

As the position of the left prime minister, you can see what ordinary people cannot see. In fact, he has always had his own plans for the dispute over the throne. He knew that although Chu Liyuan had many princes, the ones who truly had the qualifications and strength to compete for the throne were the eldest prince Chu Yixin and the second prince Chu Yidao. Although Chu Yidao seemed to have a good geographical advantage and people, Chu Yixin, as the eldest prince, could never be ignored this day, not to mention that Chu Yixin has a strong foundation and huge strength in the Northern Region! Therefore, in order to avoid being settled by Qiu Hou, he decided to adopt a neutral attitude to observe the wall and wait for the most appropriate time to express his attitude. Because of his identity, status and influence, he can be regarded as a rare product, and no matter which side, he cannot be ignored!

Now, because of the so-called "posture" of King Yi, although it seems to be on the opposite side of Chu Yidao, it was his own order after all. Even if Chu Liyuan may not be able to prove this fact personally, Chu Yidao will definitely not investigate in order to win over him. In addition, the subtle relationship between King Yi and his daughter is understandable! Moreover, Chu Yidao still does not know the true identity of the false King Yi, so there is still room for maneuver at present, but the premise of this room is that he cannot continue to participate in it in depth. Otherwise, once Chu Yixin's identity is revealed, he will be unable to argue...!

"Master, we are here!" The butler's voice interrupted Xia Yanwu's contemplation, came out of the car sedan chair, and looked at the slender figure that had been wandering and paced in the door, Xia Yanwu couldn't help feeling a loud head!

When Xia Ziyue saw Xia Yan return home, she hurried out to greet her: "Dad!"

"Um!"

"Dad is back so late, surely

You're hungry, I'll go and ask the kitchen to prepare some midnight snacks for you now." Without waiting for Xia Yanwu to reply, Xia Ziyue was busy making arrangements. Looking at Xia Ziyue who was leaving in a hurry, Xia Yanwu knew that Xia Ziyue was afraid that he would refuse her because she was tired and wanted to rest early. It seemed that the real King of Yi appeared at the wedding scene today and had been arrested by Chu Yidao in the heavenly prison, so she must have known it too! "Ah!" She sighed deeply, and Xia Yanwu felt helpless and went to the insider of the mansion!

Perhaps because she was getting older and lost her good appetite as she used to be, or she was not hungry, Xia Yanwu simply moved her chopsticks and put it down. Although Xia Ziyue, who was sitting opposite, kept watching Xia Yanwu for dinner, Xia Yanwu could also see the erratic and thoughtful look in her eyes, and asked helplessly: "Ziyue, if you have anything to say, just say it to your father!"

"Dad, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the King of Yi who lives in the Yi Palace has always been pretending to be someone else?"

"Well, at that time, everyone, including me and Lord Huang Yu, and even His Majesty, thought King Yi was dead, but for the sake of the safety of the Great Chu Empire, we finally adopted the strategy left by King Yi!"

Xia Ziyue couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this, "Is this the plan left by King Yi?"

"Yes!" Xia Yanwu sighed and continued: "Originally, he set a delaying plan for the vacuum period after he left, but so many things happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival night!"

Xia Ziyue looked at Xia Yanwu and said a little apologetically: "No wonder my father has been preventing me from visiting Yi Wang these days!" Facing the apology in Xia Ziyue's eyes, Xia Yanwu did not feel anything. Although she was telling the truth, just like when he learned Qu Xinchi's plan, he had a completely opposite attitude towards Xia Ziyue and Yi Wang. He didn't want him and her to have a result! Because, he had deeper plans and plans for Xia Ziyue's future marriage!

"It's good if you can understand Dad's hard work!"

"Dad, then, how is the King of Yi now?"

Xia Yanwu said expressionlessly: "It's hard to say, I think there is so much danger!"

Xia Ziyue was a little excited when she heard this, "Why, as you said, King Yi is not only innocent, but also has good fortune in the Great Chu!"

Xia Yanwu shook his head and said, "You must know that King Yi was willing to be taken to the Heavenly Prison. This was witnessed by all the civil and military officials present at that time. In their eyes, King Yi's crime was accustomed! As for whether King Yi was guilty, no one except His Majesty dared to excuse him!"

Xia Ziyue collapsed weakly on the seat. Although she didn't know the true situation of Chu Liyuan, she knew that for more than a month when Chu Liyuan couldn't afford to get sick, the court meeting was presided over by her father and other civil and military ministers. Chu Liyuan had never shown up for this period of time. From this, we can see that Chu Liyuan's illness must be bad this time. The current situation of the Yi King is so urgent. If you hope Chu Liyuan can testify for him, it would probably be too late! Thinking of this, Xia Ziyue almost begged to Xia Yanwu, "Father, can you help him?"

After all, this question was mentioned. Xia Yanwu asked back, "Ziyue, you still can't forget him, right?" Xia Ziyue lowered her head and said nothing. Thinking of the kind of hurt she gave him, she couldn't help feeling like a knife. Xia Yanwu also saw this and said, "Ziyue, in fact, you and the King of Righteousness have not opposed it from the beginning.

However, King Yi was seriously ill and his life was in danger. The three-year agreement may pass in the blink of an eye, but who could have expected the final result? I don’t want to do it, and I dare not take your life’s happiness as a bet!”

Xia Ziyueyan swallowed even more with tears in her eyes: "Dad, my daughter understands, but..."

"Daughter! It's not selfish for your father. The matter of King Yi is of great importance. Even if the father helps him with all his strength, he is powerless!"

Xia Ziyue suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground and said, "Dad, my daughter has nothing to ask for. Can you let me see him?"

"Oh!" Xia Yanwu stood up helplessly, looked at the pitiful Xia Ziyue, and said at the moment when he turned around: "For your father, do your best!" At this moment, Xia Ziyue suddenly missed Xia Zixi very much. She could jump off the cliff and die for him without hesitation. She could leave alone and find his traces... And she could only beg her father pitifully here, and she didn't even have the courage to persevere in love with him!

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Candle Eclipse lying on the bed toss and turns and couldn't fall asleep. She couldn't help but put on a dress and planned to go to the courtyard for some breath. When he walked into the courtyard, he saw from a distance that there was already someone in the stone pavilion. After getting closer, he couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

"Master Ge, you can't sleep either!"

"When people get old, they really can't sleep!"

"Yes! My heart is so big, which means we are indeed old!"

Although the two of them laughed at each other, they all couldn't fall asleep because they were worried about Qu Xinchi. The two sat down and said, "Mr. Zhujie, I have thought a lot. Now, for Xinchi's safety, we must act quickly!"

Zhu Jie certainly understood the anxiety in the Ge Lao's heart, because he was the same. However, when he thought that he had to sacrifice Chu Liyuan's life, he couldn't help but feel sad. His life was very simple. When he was a child, he lived on the streets and fortunately met his sister Qu Wanxin and recognized him as his brother. However, the good times did not last long. His sister had only been the queen for a year. He thought he could show his grand ambitions in Great Chu, but he did not want to encounter such a tragedy. From then on, he fell into a desolate and focused on pursuing the murderer who was assassinated that night. Until the establishment of the Military Affairs Office, he had just spent a few years of stable life in the Military Affairs Office under the instruction of Chu Liyuan. In these years, the only person he could speak was Chu Liyuan! But now, he was going to take action against him. Even if Zhu Jie, who had always been as heartbroken as stone, could not help but not give up...

Master Ge knew what Zhu Jie was thinking and explained: "If anyone had the choice, it would be difficult to make a choice. For the sake of heartbrokenness, we had to do it. Just imagine how would he choose if he left this matter to His Holiness to decide?"

"Yes!" Zhu Jie couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "If Your Majesty can choose, he will be like me!"

The old master nodded and said, "Sir Zhuge, I want to go and see Your Majesty tomorrow!"

"Why is tomorrow?" Master Ge suddenly asked this, and Zhuge subconsciously felt that he was a little too anxious.

The old master explained: "I just want to see Your Majesty's illness first so that I can prescribe the right medicine!"

Zhujie nodded and said, "I will make arrangements tomorrow. Master, please wait for my news at that time! It's not too late, so let's take a break!"
