"I said that the whole family of the man Aguna eloped with was killed by our Emperor. Even the baby in his arms was smashed into a pulp by rocks, and his body was eaten by dogs. It's so pitiful.
.”
Chu Yuanbai said lazily.
Shanna was startled, and then quickly clasped her hands together: "God of Gu, it must be those bad guys who seduced the saint, stole the God of Gu, and suffered retribution!"
Chu Yuanbai played with the jade ring, his eyes slightly cold: "Retribution? Maybe, our Emperor is really cruel and ruthless."
When the Tianming Dynasty was founded, there were five kings with different surnames, but more than a hundred years later, only the Jingnan Chu family is still alive and well.
The old man, my father, was quite smart at the time. He joined the team of His Majesty the current Emperor and thus saved the Jingnan Palace.
Although His Majesty the Emperor is now suspicious and ruthless, he has no intention of touching the Jingnan Palace for the time being.
But he saw that the old emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and he was afraid that he would not be able to survive for a few more years. Once the old emperor died, the new emperor would inherit the throne.
Therefore, now it is his turn, Chu Yuanbai, to choose a team to represent the Jingnan Palace.
The old emperor was lustful and gave birth to many sons, but only two direct princes——
The late Queen's prince, Shangguan Zhou, was the first to extend an olive branch.
The fifth prince, King Qin, was born as a general who led troops in wars. He relied on the generals who guarded the border in the northwest.
The three provinces in the southwest are not only adjacent to the sea, but also have many mountains. They rely on mountains and water, and are rich in products. For more than a hundred years, ethnic minorities have rarely caused trouble.
Even if there is a rebellion, it is difficult to reach a large scale, and it was basically suppressed by the Jingnan Palace and the chieftains in a short time.
but……
This also resulted in the three southwestern provinces having little sense of existence and being despised as - Southern Barbarians.
The King of Qin and others did not take them seriously either.
Before he came, Cang Lan once praised the prince in his letter for being humble, kind and wise. Once he succeeds to the throne, he will be a wise monarch.
If the Jingnan Palace supports the crown prince's ascension to the throne, it will definitely receive a good reward and will be able to maintain peace for another hundred years.
However, based on the information he had gathered along the way and his interactions with the prince today, he came to the conclusion that——
This prince has a lot of brains and a deep understanding of the city. In order to cure his illness, he is willing to salute him, a prince with a different surname from a remote southern barbarian land. This shows that he is a very tolerant person.
However, this prince has nothing to do with humility and benevolence. Instead, he is a ruthless and fierce person, much like the current Emperor Ming.
If such a person becomes emperor, it may not be a blessing to the country and the people.
But what does this have to do with him?
Regardless of whether the King of Qin or the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, it is not easy to influence the Jingnan Palace. They have to rely on the Jingnan Palace and the Baimiao Chieftain to control the three southwest provinces.
For Canglan's sake, he could help the prince with some trivial matters, but he would never take a clear stand.
Let’s take a look at the rest first, after all, the old emperor is not dead yet!
Chu Yuanbai closed his eyes and smiled lazily: "Okay, Shanna, it's getting very late, you should go back."
Shanna looked at her brother, hesitated for a moment, and said with a blushing face: "Brother, can I go see Brother Canglan tomorrow? I heard he is now in Dongchang?"
Chu Yuanbai suddenly raised his eyes coldly: "Xiang Na, don't forget that Cang Lan is a man who has a child!"
Under his sharp gaze, Shanna couldn't help but flinch and whispered.
If she is too close to this man, and Shangguan Hongye is not a fool, what if he finds out?
Cang Qiao thought of the fierce and naughty little baby, and her cold and hard heart softened, but she still snorted softly and squeezed her delicate hand: "My little lady always wants to give you the right words, you are the only one who dares to deal with me like this."
Already."
Just when Ming Lanruo was about to speak, she suddenly heard Shangguan Hongye's voice coming from outside: "Lan Ruo, the people who came to take us into the city have already arrived. Come to me, and I will take you into the city to meet your father!"
Ming Lanruo was startled and raised her hand to push Cang Qiao away, but she saw that Cang Qiao refused to let go. She even smiled maliciously and slowly, and held her a little tighter.
Ming Lanruo: "..."
She helplessly patted his waist and lowered her voice: "In a few days, there will be a family dinner at home, you come."
Cang Qiao slowly let go of her hand, even raised her eyebrows and smiled, with a romantic charm in the corners of her delicate eyes: "With your order, I will go back to the palace first. My dear lady, don't forget what I said today."
Then, he took the lead in opening the car curtain and supported Xiao Qizi's hand to get out of the car.
Ming Lanruo rubbed the center of his eyebrows, this man was really... very cunning.
And...saucy.
Ahem...
…
As soon as Cang Qiao got off the carriage, Shangguan Hongye looked at him and immediately took a step back, scrawling and casually cupping his hands: "See Qiansui Master, why do you get out of Lan Ruo's carriage again?"
Even if this person is a eunuch, he feels very uncomfortable now.
That night, when he was on the road until midnight, he brought some food and wine to seduce Ming Lanruo and see if he could convince her to become a real couple.
He really fell in love with her and wanted to be a real couple with her.
As a result, Ming Lanruo woman didn't let him in. She said she was very uncomfortable, and told him to get out with a voice full of forbearance and discomfort, but he vaguely seemed to hear Cang Qiao's cold snort?
He was full of things to say, but he couldn't hold them all.
He always felt that something was not right. Thinking about it carefully, could it be that the eunuch Cang Qiao was doing something to Ming Lanruo inside?
