Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Chapter 163 Asking for a Promise

But it turned out that after the fifth princess committed such a scandal, the emperor felt that the palace attendants around the fifth princess had not been brought up properly, so he simply kicked all the palace attendants around her out of the palace.

A new group of people were selected to serve carefully in the palace of the fifth princess.

Among these palace people, there was a woman with white and beautiful skin, outstanding appearance, and very fair and smooth skin.The fifth princess has become somewhat mentally disturbed because of her loss of power.

Seeing this woman's fair skin, the more he looked at her, the more jealous he became, and he insisted on disfiguring her with a gold hairpin.

The woman struggled and refused, so the fifth princess became violent and stabbed the woman's throat with a gold hairpin, stabbing the woman to death.

The new palace people had never seen this formation before, and they were so frightened that they ran out.Now that the queen is in charge of the palace, Concubine Ning is not the only one.

The queen soon learned of the matter from the palace people and reported it directly to the emperor.

The emperor originally thought that if something like this happened to the fifth princess, he would feel at ease and repent in the Buddhist hall in the palace.Unexpectedly, she killed innocent people indiscriminately and showed no mercy.

There is a madman in the palace, who is also extremely dangerous to all the nobles.Without any hesitation, the emperor ordered someone to secretly send the fifth princess out of the palace.

This time, it was actually sent to the royal nunnery.No matter how much Concubine Ning begged for mercy, the emperor did not hesitate at all.

Xia Keyu was speechless after hearing this. The fifth princess was so precious that she was always a little lawless.Now that we have reached this point, we have brought it upon ourselves.

In the imperial study room, the emperor was holding Old Man Dong to reminisce about old times.

As the conversation continued, the topic turned to the emperor's two current sons.The emperor knew that Old Man Dong had taken a fancy to him and supported him along the way, so he was naturally very discerning.I really wanted him to tell me who to appoint as the next crown prince.

Old Man Dong touched his few sparse and yellow beards, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is embarrassing this old minister. This is a crime of beheading. You should spare my life."

It was rare for the emperor to meet someone who was so honest and sincere, so he immediately ordered: "You can speak freely, but I will forgive you."

Old Man Dong is in the world, not an official in the court, he is alone, and he is happy to travel freely.Then he laughed and said:
"Your Majesty, as the old saying goes, a son is established to be noble but not to be promoted, and a direct descendant is established to be promoted rather than to be virtuous."

"Besides, a ruler who maintains success should put benevolence first."

These two short sentences did not clearly state who should be appointed, but the emperor was already very clear.The person that Old Man Dong likes is the prince.

The prince is the eldest son, and his temperament is famous for his benevolence and righteousness.

If the emperor had ever thought of abolishing the prince because of the outstanding abilities of the third prince.Now, as the third prince and his mother's family made mistakes again and again, the emperor began to feel dissatisfied with the third prince.

Now after listening to Old Man Dong's words, he has completely stopped thinking about it.The prince may not have any outstanding talents, but leaving the country and the country in the hands of such a person can ensure that the country is safe.

The two immediately changed the topic and began to talk about some of their experiences during the years of separation.

However, the emperor did not notice that the eunuch Gao Rang, who was standing aside to serve tea, listened to all this.

After the banquet was over and it was night, Gao Rang came out of the palace in person and told the third prince the news.

The third prince was furious when he heard this. He stood up and asked with wide eyes: "That person really said that?"

Gao Rang replied: "This is what I heard with my own ears. It is absolutely true."

"What did the emperor say?"

"His Majesty did not answer any more calls."

The emperor's reaction made the third prince feel a little relieved.His greatest support is his father.The emperor always believed that the third prince was the son who was most like him, so he was especially fond of the third prince.

The third prince turned to look out the window at the dark night, and sneered: "A humble villager from the mountains dares to discuss the matter of establishing a heir. After this person leaves the capital, send someone to kill him and bury him on the spot."

An old man who had been missing his whereabouts all year round died in the wilderness, and no one knew about it.After saying all this, the third prince turned back to Gao Rang and put on a good face again, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. It's been a long time, father-in-law, so go and see my wet nurse."

Gao Rang smiled flatteringly, then bowed his body and retreated.

It turned out that Gao Rang, the eunuch beside the emperor, and the wet nurse of the third prince had formed a couple for food a long time ago.With this additional relationship, Gao Rang became more and more loyal to the third prince.

A few days later, despite repeated attempts by the emperor to stay, Mr. Dong resolutely left the capital.

On this day, Xia Keyu was at home looking at the roster sent by his servants, preparing to find some suitable aunts for his biological father Xia Fengyuan.

Then I heard Feihong come to report that Chu Yuan was coming to visit with the prince.

Xia Keyu motioned to Qingya to put away the booklet, then slightly adjusted his clothes and appearance, and motioned for the two of them to come in.

Chu Yuan is always cold and cold, and his emotions and sorrows are often invisible.The prince, who was always gentle, now had a bit of uncontrollable anger on his face.

"What happened?" Xia Keyu asked calmly.

"As soon as Mr. Dong left the capital, Zheng Chi actually sent people to assassinate him. If my uncle's people hadn't been following behind to protect him, I'm afraid his people would have succeeded."

The prince said indignantly.He didn't expect that his half-brother would be so cruel.Just because Mr. Dong was the person he invited, the third prince actually killed him so painfully.

When Xia Keyu heard the sound, he just said: "As long as everything is fine."

It was probably because Chu Yuan and Xia Keyu's calmness infected the prince, and he calmed down, and then he explained the purpose of their visit:

"My aunt and uncle have helped me many times, and this time they gave me such an important favor for my father's birthday banquet. Rui'er is really grateful, but doesn't know how to repay, thinking that if Rui'er entertains my aunt and uncle, What do you think, auntie?"

Xia Keyu heard the sound and chuckled: "Is it possible that we still lack a meal from you?"

When Xia Keyu said this, the prince stood there awkwardly.Everything he can have is available in Duke Chu's mansion.

Xia Keyu said calmly: "I want a promise from His Highness the Crown Prince."

As soon as he said this, Chu Yuan glanced at Xia Keyu and said nothing.

The prince heard this, thought for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "What does aunt want Rui'er to promise?"

Xia Keyu shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I think about it. But don't worry, I'm definitely not asking you to kill people or set fires."

When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, then Rui'er will accept my aunt's promise."

After the prince left, Chu Yuan looked at Xia Keyu and said with a bit of affection: "You little naughty boy, you actually want a promise from the future king."

Xia Keyu took back the roster and said calmly: "Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, you have to be on guard. I'm just preparing for a rainy day."

When Chu Yuan heard the sound, he just remained silent.

Xia Keyu knew clearly that the prince was not as dull and incompetent as he appeared, otherwise he would not have been able to survive alone in the East Palace for many years without the protection of his mother.

The prince in his previous life failed simply because he was weak and weak.

Old Man Dong's retirement reminded Xia Keyu of the old saying: "The cunning rabbit dies, and the running dogs are cooked. When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden."

People like her have to plan ahead.
