On the second day, an imperial edict was passed into the imperial mausoleum.
The death of the seventeenth prince caused an uproar in the palace for some reason. Then Concubine Li attempted to commit suicide, and the Emperor of Chu had to send people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
But this investigation, for some reason, involved not only the eldest prince and the second prince, but also the ninth prince, who had always been a gamer in the world.
When the three men were forcibly brought into the palace for questioning, almost the entire imperial mausoleum was shocked.
Chu Luchen sat in the carriage, frowned as he looked at the guards guarding him.
The seventeenth prince was timid and suspicious, so he would not be a candidate to compete for the crown prince's position at all. Moreover, his death should be caused by being unable to endure the silence of the imperial mausoleum and the instigation of the vicious people around him, so he climbed to the top of the imperial mausoleum and jumped
And down.
After all, the imperial mausoleum was heavily guarded, and in order for them to live a normal life, there were still many ventilation holes.
However, it was strange to be able to climb to the top of the imperial mausoleum without alerting heavy troops. It was just that I didn't think too much about it at the time.
Now, I am afraid that this is just a game that has just begun, and the main targets should be myself and the eldest prince. And the ninth prince is probably a chess piece to deceive others. Or, it is a chess piece to deceive people.
Let those who are still hesitating about where to stand have one more choice. A choice that is absolutely impossible to succeed.
Chu Luchen tried to breathe air while thinking about countermeasures.
I haven't been out of the imperial mausoleum for almost half a month, and I feel really uncomfortable. Take this opportunity to have a good rest.
After arriving at the palace, the three of them went for a walk as usual to the study where Emperor Chu was. However, for some unknown reason, they turned a corner and headed towards the harem.
"Father is not in the Council Hall?" Ninth Prince Chu Yun asked, but was pushed forward by the soldiers behind him.
They were still a little afraid of Chu Lurong and Chu Luchen, after all, they were very likely to ascend the throne, but he was bolder when it came to Chu Yun.
Chu Lurong smiled evilly and played with his chin, "You, be careful. That person didn't harm others, but he harmed the three of us. Why do you think he did it?"
The soldier was shocked when he heard Chu Lurong's cool words and stopped embarrassing Chu Yun.
Chu Yun walked slowly against the wall, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes. He had wanted to escape from this palace for a long time, but he couldn't escape.
From the names of several princes, we can see who Chu Emperor's preference was.
Chu Lurong's generation is the generation with the word "lv". According to the rules, all the princes should have the name Chu Lürong plus a meaningful word. But when it comes to his own generation, he has chosen to avoid the word "lv" to make it sound more pleasant.
The name is catchy, and to be more straightforward, it means that Emperor Chu doesn't like him.
This has been destined since he was born.
Even though he was older than Chu Lurong, he hid his identity as a prince for three years. That's why he became the ninth prince.
And this identity was obtained by my mother who forced her to die.
"We're here, let's go in." The soldier led the three people to the entrance of the Snow Appreciation Hall, then retreated, and someone led them in.
The courtyard where the Snow Appreciation Hall is located always looks like April on earth.
It is said to be a place for snow viewing, but there are flowers to enjoy in all seasons, but since they are all white flowers, it is still suitable for the occasion.
Along the way, there are beauties warming their tents, looking like spring.
Chu Lurong and Chu Lvchen were both shocked.
The Snow Appreciation Hall must be the hall where Sun Yexue is, but Emperor Chu summoned them to the Snow Appreciation Hall and refused to move to the Political Affairs Hall, so there must be something fishy about it.
Presumably the gauze beauty in this courtyard was just a reason for him to linger over it. The three of them walked very slowly, and the woman leading them did not get annoyed or hurry, showing her most beautiful side.
There is fragrance in the wind, the beauty is smiling, people are drinking wine and whispering softly.
This was the only thought the three of them had when they walked into the main hall.
Sun Yexue, with her breasts half exposed, leaned charmingly in Emperor Chu's arms, feeding her while saying something, which made Emperor Chu smile from ear to ear.
The three of them stood in the hall as if they were being ignored.
The half-drunk Emperor Chu seemed to have seen them. He squinted his eyes to see who was coming, then leaned forward and said, "Come on, come on, Rong'er, Chen'er, sit down and eat together. This is fruit brought from the border. It's extremely delicious." It’s unpalatable.”
Chu Lurong was not polite, sat on one side of the table, and started eating.
Chu Luchen took some, walked to Chu Yun, gestured to eat together, then sat down on the floor and ate bit by bit.
"Hey, Chen'er, why are you so far away from me? Come here!" Emperor Chu pushed Sun Yexue slightly, as if he was about to get up and pull Chu Luchen, but Sun Yexue made a sound like a lazy cat, which immediately made his bones go numb. Gone, no more thoughts.
Emperor Chu...is no longer what he used to be.
The Emperor of Chu who worked hard to bring Chu to a prosperous age and let the people live and work in peace and contentment is no longer there.
Chu Luchen sighed secretly. He couldn't choose to be born into the royal family, but since he was sensible, he was trained as a prince.
I still remember that Emperor Chu once taught me not to indulge in women, otherwise the country would be destroyed.
But now, it is on this path.
Watching the light pink gauze winding around the beam and hanging down, gently drifting in the wind, creating a charming scene, it made his chest feel tight.
He ate it like chewing wax, but was stopped by Chu Yun.
"Second Prince, can I ask you something?" Chu Yun looked around at the disgusting sight, smiled bitterly three times, and was absolutely desperate.
Chu Luchen raised his eyes and looked at him, neither agreeing nor rejecting.
Chu Yun took a deep breath, "I'm afraid this matter was planned by Sun Quan. It was designed to make Emperor Chu doubt you and the eldest prince. There is no doubt about this. That day, I saw the seventeenth brother, led by heavy soldiers. When you go to the cave entrance at the top of the imperial mausoleum, you are pushed down..."
"Then?" Chu Yun didn't seem to want to tell the truth, so Chu Luchen was a little confused.
"The Emperor of Chu is too stupid to listen to any sophistry. Therefore, I am willing to take on this matter. I just ask that... the second prince will bury my ashes in my mother's tomb for the sake of saving my life." "Besides." Chu Yun kowtowed to Chu Luchen three times and stopped talking. With a gray face, he waited for Emperor Chu to make an attack after he woke up.
Sun Yexue couldn't hear it clearly, so she didn't pay attention to them. After all, this was just part of the plan, and getting rid of one was the same. They were not that naive if they wanted to eliminate the eldest prince and the second prince in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Sun Yexue touched his abdomen, but it was still flat and showed no improvement.
Even though I used the best medicinal materials, I didn't know why, but I couldn't conceive a dragon seed.
But...she doesn't need dragon seeds anymore. She just needs dragon seeds...
Looking at Emperor Chu's increasingly prosperous face, her patience was about to run out.
The change of dynasty seems to be getting closer...
