If I want to run away from the outer chamber, I will criticize the prince madly and take me into the

Chapter 226 The storm is coming
Cao Ye sighed deeply, his heart full of helplessness and emotion.

In fact, at this moment, no matter what he was asked to say, he could not express his true thoughts.

Perhaps we can only lament that in life, we often encounter many things that we have no control over.

When he slowly walked out of the East Palace, Ying Dong stood aside to protect him. At this time, Cao Ye took out an exquisite safety lock from his arms.

This safety lock was made of pure gold and carefully engraved with auspicious words. It was originally intended to be presented to His Highness to congratulate His Highness on the birth.

He himself was full of expectations for the upcoming child.

But now, he can only take her back.

"Just send it here, I know the way back."

Cao Ye smiled and said something to Ying Dong, and then carefully put the safety lock back into his arms.

Ying Dong nodded and watched quietly as Cao Ye boarded the carriage. Under the cover of night, the carriage gradually left the palace and headed towards Cao Ye's residence in Shangjing.

Early the next morning, as expected by the two of them, Chu Yi submitted a memorial to convict Chu Yao just as they expected.

The memorial clearly pointed out that Chu Yao chose to commit suicide because he was afraid of guilt. At the same time, he should also give a reasonable explanation to the displaced people in the eastern suburbs.

Chu Yan looked at the book with a sneer on his lips.

"He really can't wait."

After gently placing the fold on the table, Chu Yan slowly closed his eyes, frowning, obviously having a headache.

After a while, he opened his eyes again, picked up his pen and carefully wrote a line on the memorial: The Dongjiao Dam case is so foggy and clouded with doubts that it is difficult to make a conclusion.

In fact, what he did was just to force Chu Yi to show up, to force him to surface, and he even did not hesitate to use force to force him into the palace.

"He has been in the palace for too long."

There was no need to specify Dao's surname, Cheng Chong and Ying Dong knew exactly who the person he was referring to was.

"My subordinates will go to the palace to welcome His Majesty back to the palace."

Cheng Chong volunteered to take on this task. Chu Yan nodded slightly and agreed: "Go ahead."

This carefully choreographed play is coming to an end and is waiting for the protagonist to appear.

If he hadn't come in person, how could he have witnessed such a thrilling and wonderful show?
"Your Highness, I have brought the person you are looking for." Ying Dong reported to Chu Yan with a smile, and the person he was talking about was the key person who could make Concubine Shu terrified.

After Chu Yi received the memorial, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.

He was so angry that he threw the memorial to the ground without hesitation, and roared angrily: "I have no idea when his relationship with Chu Yao became so close! Could it be that he Do you really think that this king is blind? He is so blatantly protecting Chu Yao!"

At this time, the staff sitting aside looked at Chu Yi calmly and comforted softly: "My lord, please don't be impatient. Please be patient. According to my subordinates' opinion, on the surface, this document seems to be an excuse for King Rui. But actually he is protecting himself.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yi turned his head sharply, stared at the staff member sharply, and motioned for him to continue speaking.

The staff took a deep breath and continued: "Your Majesty, you should understand the principle of tripartite confrontation. Naturally, he also knows it well. If King Rui is convicted, then only you and him will be left in this fight. ." At this point, the staff paused for a moment, observing Chu Yi's reaction.

Chu Yi frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he nodded, expressing his agreement with his staff.

Seeing this, the staff continued to analyze: "Therefore, even if King Rui has become a dead man, this crime must not be pinned on his head. Because once King Rui is allowed to bear this responsibility, it means that he can no longer be held accountable. You have to make a big deal out of the collapse of the Dongjiao Dam. You know, the collapse of the Dongjiao Dam caused the death of many people. No matter who is involved in this matter, there will never be a good outcome. And how could the prince easily let go of such an excellent opportunity to counterattack?"

What the staff said was very true, and Chu Yi also felt that what he said was reasonable.

He couldn't help but fell into deep thought: "In your opinion, what should I do?"

Upon hearing this, the staff stood up slowly, stared at Chu Yi firmly, and responded: "This matter depends on what the prince wants. Is it just for fame or for real gain?"

After a brief pause, he continued: "If you want to become famous, you need to proceed step by step and make decisions before taking action; however, the night is long, the variables are unpredictable, and unexpected things may happen."

The topic changed: "But if you are aiming for utilitarianism, you don't need to worry too much. Everything outside the capital city is a bargaining chip in the hands of the prince. However, although this move can achieve the goal quickly, it will inevitably be criticized by others and bear eternal infamy."

No matter what Chu Yi decides in the end, the above two strategies are feasible.

Now that Chu Yao has passed away, Chu Yan's body is infected with a strange poison, "like a dream floating around", and his life is in danger. King Liang is really the best candidate to ascend the throne.

Chu Yi pursed his lips tightly and remained silent, but deep down he had already made up his mind secretly.

For him, time is of the essence. He would rather bear the infamy than wait any longer. Should he just sit back and watch Chu Yan find the antidote, regain his strength, and compete with him again?
"In that case, we will still act in accordance with the previous agreement. When the king sends troops to the capital, he should first set fire to Chu Yan's other courtyard."

Chu Yi's tone was firm, with no intention of backing down.

In the next few days, Emperor Qi was brought back to the palace. Chu Yan stopped his government affairs due to illness and rested in the East Palace. He was said to be seriously ill and had to stay in bed.

The weather in Beijing is getting better and better, but it makes people feel a bit oppressive for no reason. It's like a storm is coming and the wind is filling the building. It's gloomy and boring.

After all the people were arranged, Chu Yan arranged Cui Ying first. They all knew that she was his weakness, so how could they let her go?
As for Dongyi's chariots and horses, they had left Shangjing two days ago, and now they were really beating the dogs behind closed doors.

Chu Yi was full of confidence. After talking about the matter with Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu also felt that she should not delay it any longer to avoid another accident.

So on this day, when the capital city was still prosperous, Chai Guangfu came in a hurry to report in Zichen Hall that there were rebels outside the city.

Hearing this, Emperor Qi raised his eyes to look at Chu Yan, and then looked at Chu Yi who was standing aside.

"Let your soldiers retreat, and I can still pretend that nothing happened."

Although Emperor Qi's voice was a bit weak, it was very majestic. Although he didn't mention his name, Chu Yi also knew that he was speaking to him.

"Father, you are old and it is time to choose a suitable prince."

"Chu Yan is about to die, father."

Chu Yi, I think you are a good expert at slaying dragons, why don't you go?
