Chaos in the Chu Palace

Chapter 89
Wan Hui smiled and said: "Look, ma'am, this little prince looks like the emperor, he looks like the emperor everywhere. No wonder the emperor likes it." She hugged the little prince after she finished speaking, in order not to make Ouyang Ruo tired after giving birth. Then, Wan Hui just let her hug her for a while, and then took it by herself.

Ouyang Ruo stared at the little prince in Wan Hui's arms with some reluctance, and said with a smile: "People say that a boy is like a mother, why is he more like the emperor."

Wan Hui joked: "Isn't it because the emperor often comes to see the empress, the empress sees the emperor's face more, naturally the little prince looks like the emperor."

As soon as she finished speaking, hearty laughter rang out from outside the room. When the curtain was lifted, Chu Huotian strode in in a bright yellow dragon robe.Ouyang Ruo was about to get up, but Chu Huotian hurriedly held her down, and asked the palace servants who were kneeling to pay respects to stand up, then sat beside Ouyang Ruo and smiled, "Do you feel better today?" He turned his head just after he finished asking Impatient with Wanhui, he said, "Hurry up, let me see my son."

Wan Hui hurriedly put the little prince into his arms, Chu Huotian liked him more and more, touched his little hand, and couldn't help kissing him.

Seeing him like this, Ouyang Ruo smiled and said, "So the emperor came to see the little prince, not the concubine." Chu Huotian laughed: "Why is Ruo Er jealous, of course he came to see you. By the way Look at the little prince."

He looked at it for a while, then smiled at Wanhui: "It's really like what my aunt said, it looks very much like me and Ruo'er a little bit, he must be a handsome man in the future!"

Ouyang Ruo pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.Seeing Chu Huo coming every day, Wan Hui was more than happy than anything else, so she agreed very much.The maids and nurses beside her also said a lot of auspicious words, which made Chu Huotian even more happy.

Ouyang Ruo watched him smile, and felt peaceful and peaceful in his heart, almost overflowing.

Chu Huotian looked at the little prince for a while, then handed him over to Wanhui, and ordered all the palace people to retreat before turning around and saying to Ouyang Ruo: "Now we have to give him a proper name, just take a look."

After he finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and when he was about to show it to Ouyang Ruo, he realized that it was a secret letter.With a gloomy complexion, he put the letter back into his pocket, and then pulled out a piece of paper with his name written on it from his sleeve.

Ouyang Ruo saw that his complexion was not good, so he didn't say anything, but took a closer look at the paper full of names.

After watching for a long time, he laughed and said: "The emperor should spare the concubine, the concubine can't make up her mind."

Chu Huotian laughed, pointed to two names, and said to her: "After much deliberation, these two names are better, one as the big name and the other as the nickname."

Ouyang Ruo looked, one was "Hanlin" and the other was "Yingzhou". She could understand the first one, but she didn't understand the second one: "Your Majesty, is Yingzhou really going to be the nickname of the little prince?"

Chu Huotian nodded, and stood with his hands behind his back: "Chu Yingzhou...My name is Chu Huotian, and his name is Chu Yingzhou, haha, my son and I are one heaven, one state, together they are the world!"

When he said this, his handsome face was full of pride, as if the world and the country were in his hands, and the skylight leaking from the window sills shone on him, shining a dazzling light. The golden dragon with claws is so majestic that it makes him look like a god.

Ouyang Ruo's heart skipped a beat, and he was so shocked by his words "the world" that he couldn't recover for a long time.

Ouyang Ruo hurriedly got out of bed and knelt down: "My concubine, thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Chu Huotian hurriedly helped her up, and said slightly annoyed: "You are still in the middle of the month, so you don't need to salute." Ouyang Ruo smiled slightly: "The emperor himself gave the little prince such a good name, the concubine is really scared."

Chu Huotian caressed her face, and there was a trace of love and affection in his usually cold eyes: "You deserve it. I still feel that I have given you less. Now the court and harem are chaotic, and I only see you and you every day. The little prince felt peaceful in his heart..."

He seemed to remember something, and sighed lightly.

Ouyang Ruo leaned into his arms and asked softly: "Concubines are useless, they can't share the emperor's worries, Mrs. Liu Guo..."

Chu Huotian was slightly annoyed when he heard the words: "Don't mention her, she did a good job! In the name of me, the expenses in the palace were reduced, but it was all given to her natal family to benefit the people! Three-point profit, profit rolling profit, profit begets profit …I don’t know how many poor people in the capital city have been forced to sell their sons and daughters by her Liu family! Ten times her death is not enough to relieve my hatred!”

The more he talked, the more angry he got up and walked back and forth in the room: "And her father, Liu Zhengsheng, used the name of my father-in-law to bribe officials everywhere, and bribed them privately! How could I allow him to live in this world!"

Ouyang Ruo was surprised: "How did the emperor deal with him?"

Chu Huotian smiled coldly: "How can I deal with it! One word, behead!"

cut? !

Mrs. Liu Guo, who was fidgeting in the Yanxi Palace, heard the report, and stood up in shock. With a "bang", the teacup on the table was also swept off by her long sleeves, and the porcelain shards on the floor were shattered.She sat down slumped, feeling that her eyes were darkened, and finally calmed down, she strode forward and grabbed the little servant who was kneeling on the ground, pinching her knuckles white.The gentle face in the past twisted ferociously, and asked viciously: "Say it again! How did the emperor convict my father?? If there is one thing to hide, I will stick you to death!"

The little servant was in distress, so he had to repeat what he had just said tremblingly: "I tell you, the emperor issued an order saying that Liu Guozhang hoarded rare goods to make huge profits... bribed the court officials, and privately sold the forbidden items... His heart is to be punished." It's a damnable crime..." He trembled, looking at Mrs. Liu Guo's ashen complexion from time to time.

"Scheduled to be killed after the fall!" The little servant finally finished speaking, cold sweat was already all over his forehead, and he finally finished the last sentence emphatically.

Mrs. Liu Guo shook a few times and almost fell to the ground.

The little servant took advantage of her distraction and quickly ran away. Mrs. Liu Guo was down, and the Liu family was down too. He should not work for her in the future, otherwise it would be very bad if he was implicated.

Mrs. Liu Guo only felt that her heart was extremely cold. The large palace where the maids and servants used to be was now empty and she was the only one left. Even the servant who was paid a lot of money to inquire about the news just now ran away.

Run away, run away!She wanted to laugh, but tears flowed down her cheeks.

cut! !How could he be so cruel and disregard the relationship between husband and wife!
Mrs. Liu Guo smiled and cried, suddenly she remembered something and rushed out the door.

As soon as she opened the palace gate, the guards with knives outside the palace stopped her: "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to leave the palace without the emperor's order."

Mrs. Liu Guo was furious, she slapped him twice, and said angrily, "I want to go out! Where is the emperor! I want to see the emperor! Where is the emperor!!!"

Shouting frantically, she rushed forward.

The guard with the knife didn't dare to stop her forcefully, so he had to ask the palace maid to come forward and pull her.Mrs. Liu Guo saw the crowd surrounding her, she pulled out the gold hairpin from her head and pressed it firmly against her delicate neck, maybe she used too much force, and a bloodstain was drawn.

"Take me to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor! If you come again, I will die in front of you!" Madam Liu Guo's hair was disheveled and she looked like a madman, shouting at them.

The commander of the guards rushed over early after receiving the report, and was dumbfounded when he saw it.Sure enough, no one can stop the woman from going crazy.

Mrs. Liu Guo took advantage of their distraction, separated from the crowd and ran forward.

She wants to find the emperor, she asks him to let her father go...he can't be so heartless.

She was thinking, but her footsteps led her towards Yunxiang Palace...

Chu Huotian was talking to Ouyang Ruo when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, mixed with the exclamation of the palace servants.Ouyang Ruo looked outside suspiciously, Chu Huotian also frowned and was about to call someone in for questioning.

Suddenly Xiang Ling ran in, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, empress, it's not good, Mrs. Liu Guo has gone crazy, if she really wants to break in, no one can stop her."

While she was talking, Mrs. Liu Guo broke in, and Ouyang Ruo trembled when she saw her appearance.Chu Huotian was also stunned, Mrs. Liu Guo has always been the most respectful of manners, and now she looks like a crazy woman on the street.

"Haha, it really is here! It's really here with you bastard! Your Majesty, you have been bewitched by her!" Madam Liu Guo laughed loudly and walked in step by step.

Chu Huotian saw that the gold hairpin had been halfway into her neck, his face sank, he stepped forward and twisted her hand, Madam Liu Guo suffered from pain, and the gold hairpin in her hand fell to the ground.

"Why are you crazy! Someone! Drag her down!" Chu Huotian shouted.

Mrs. Liu Guo burst into tears: "Your Majesty, you can't kill my father. Let the concubine die. The concubine would rather die. All this is caused by this bitch in Huadi. You can't trust her, yes She planted dirt and framed concubines...it was her!"

Chu Huotian saw that her words became more and more inappropriate, and said angrily: "Your father has recruited, who else will frame him? Could it be that I want him to die!"

Mrs. Liu Guo just cried loudly. Seeing her like this, Chu Huotian called someone to come and drag her down: "Go back and watch carefully, don't allow her to commit suicide!"

Several maids and maids hurried forward to hold her back. Seeing that the situation was over and the emperor could no longer change her mind, Mrs. Liu Guo shouted: "Ouyang Ruo! You will die! I will drag you to hell when I arrive at the Underworld. Die!..." Before she finished shouting, Chu Huotian strode forward and slammed back the rest of her vicious words with a "slap".

This slap made Ouyang Ruo tremble again in fright, and the whole hall fell silent immediately. Mrs. Liu Guo covered her face and looked at Chu Huotian in disbelief.

Chu Huotian looked at her coldly: "It turns out that you are so vicious, Ruo'er is in the palace well, how could you frame your father! Your father is corrupt and reckless, and careless about human life. His death is not enough to thank the world! I will not send you If you get implicated, it is already a great favor to you. You are still messing around here! Come, pass the decree, Mrs. Liu Guo has lost her virtue and has no deeds. If the imperial edict is not summoned again, the eldest prince will not be allowed to be educated by him from now on."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu Guo felt that there was no more hope, her eyes darkened and she passed out.

Chu Huotian glanced at her and ordered someone to carry her back.

Everything returned to silence.Ouyang Ruo stared blankly at the end of the farce, feeling a lot in his heart.Chu Huotian thought she was frightened, so he hugged her with a sigh and didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, will this be too cruel to Mrs. Liu Guo? She lost her father... and her child..." Ouyang Ruo hesitated.

Chu Huotian saw that her complexion was pale, and her postpartum weakness made her even more pitiful: "Her father has committed a heinous crime. If he doesn't die, how will I govern the country in the future? As for her, I think I have treated her with the utmost benevolence and righteousness after more than ten years of husband and wife. If you don't die, you will be sent to the cold palace."

After he finished speaking, he sighed slightly: "Ruoer's heart is just too kind..."

Kind? !
Ouyang Ruo smiled in a daze, and looked at his slender hands that were not in his palm. These hands were already stained with blood, and he hadn't known kindness for a long time...

Mrs. Liu Guo was imprisoned in the Palace of Yanxi Palace, and after a few days of silence, she issued an apology form, in which she said that she had lost her virtue and was a person by the emperor's side, and asked the emperor to imprison her in the cold palace to repent and make amends .I also ask the emperor to recite his merits in raising the prince in the past, and put the eldest prince under the empress' knees to raise him, in order to become a prince with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and serve the country...

As soon as this news came out, the entire harem was shocked.Like the most shocking earthquake, the entire harem was turned upside down.

Concubine Wan Lin didn't care that Ouyang Ruo was still in the middle of the moon, and flew to her palace, and hurriedly asked: "Sister Ouyang, tell me, what is this Liu family going to do? Is she really going to give her The child is raised by the queen?!"

Ouyang Ruo frowned with two beautiful eyebrows, thought for a while before smiling coldly: "Mr. Liu is an old treacherous and cunning person, and he is still trying to make the last move. It seems that we have all underestimated her. "

Lin sighed and frowned.Ouyang Ruo was about to say something.Suddenly Xiang Ye came in and reported: "I want to tell you, Miss Xu is here too." Ouyang Ruo nodded and ordered the palace servants to lead her in.

Mrs. Xu was wearing a light smoky long dress, and she came in very angry: "This temptress! She is acting like this! I am so angry!"

Ouyang Ruo said with a smile: "Sister Xu, please speak in a low voice, don't let the palace people listen to you."

Mrs. Xu glanced at Mrs. Lin, and snorted: "Are you afraid that the palace people will talk too much? The whole harem has spread the word and scolded Mrs. Liu, saying that Mrs. Liu is a centipede who dies but not stiff. By the way, Sister Lin is here too. Among the three of us, you are the most anxious. Hurry up and discuss with your father, who is the Minister of Rites, to see how to prevent the emperor from granting her request. Otherwise, you will win the prince with the queen's temper. Be the first to deal with your son."

Lin shivered with fright, almost crying.He only took Ouyang Ruo's hand and cried mournfully: "Sister Ouyang, the heavens can learn from you. I didn't want the second prince to fight for anything. What if the queen..."

Ouyang Ruo glanced at Xu Shi, motioned her not to say any more, and then comforted her in a loud voice: "Sister Lin is naturally not thinking that way, the emperor has not allowed it."

Xu couldn't help it, and sneered: "Sister Ouyang, don't deceive yourself. How many eyeliners does the queen have in the palace? I think it will be a day before she gets the letter. She is completely barren now. , got a child for nothing, tell me, can she do it?"

Lin Shi just sobbed, Xu Shi's face was cold, and Ouyang Ruo was also silent.

Liu's move was too powerful, a strong man broke his wrist, he was willing to part with his own child, first threw himself into the cold palace, obtained the emperor's sympathy and forgiveness, and then found a way out for his eldest prince.Her scheming and forbearance skills are really unmatched by ordinary women.

The three of them faced each other, unable to speak a single word.

After hesitating for a day, Chu Huotian finally agreed to Liu's request, but instead of imprisoning her in the cold palace, he ordered him to move out of Yanxi Palace and live in a remote courtyard in the palace, but he was not allowed to come in and out at will.

When Ouyang Ruo got the news, he smiled slightly and drank the thick red dates and wolfberry soup in his mouth.

good very good!Sure enough, the Liu family succeeded. She smoothly sent her son to the Queen's name, only waiting for a day in the future when the Queen will make her son the crown prince...

Seeing that Ouyang Ruo was calm and calm, Wan Hui sighed: "Mrs. Liu Guo is really amazing. I can figure it out. The emperor looks cold-hearted, but in fact he is soft-hearted. Otherwise, he wouldn't respond." her request."

Ouyang Ruo said with a smile: "She has been married to the emperor for more than ten years, even if it is a piece of iron, it has been softened, let alone a person. It's just a good thing, the emperor doesn't have much affection for the eldest prince. A lord, I'm not afraid that the Liu family will turn over like a salted fish."

After hearing this, Wan Hui said: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate the Liu family and the Empress. If the two join forces, you are not afraid of turning the harem upside down in the future. Punishment and adultery have always resulted in bad results. Your Majesty has to be careful. "

Ouyang Ruo was stunned for a moment, took a deep look at Wan Hui, and then said solemnly: "My aunt's teachings, I understand."

Wan Hui sighed, saluted briefly and then retreated.

At Chu Huotian's order, the queen who was far away at the Summer Resort immediately responded, and sent someone back to Jingdao, saying that the queen was in good health and planned to leave for the palace in a month.

The queen is going back to the palace.The queen who has been recuperating in the summer resort is finally coming back.

Ouyang Ruo looked at Xiao Yingzhou in his arms, and there was a huge wave in his heart.The outside of the house is already full of autumn colors, and the leaves of the tall sycamore tree outside the house have turned yellow one by one, falling to the ground. From a distance, the ground is golden, with the demure and beauty of the last autumn.

Xiao Yingzhou seemed to feel his mother's grief, and burst into tears.Ouyang Ruo laughed and coaxed: "Why are you crying, after all, the mother and concubine can't let you starve or freeze, our mother and I have to go to the end step by step."
