Chapter 335 Alliance
"Kapok has come?"

Entering the door of Xuanyi Hall, Chu Yuan picked up Brother Ming who was rushing towards him, and turned to ask Fang Ruxuan.

Looking at him with raised eyebrows, Fang Ruxuan pretended to be fierce and asked, "How do you know?"

Chu Yuan said with a chuckle: "There is nothing in the palace, the only thing that can worry you is the things outside the palace. Besides kapok, who else can it be?"

With a pursed smile, Fang Ruxuan said frankly: "If there is any important news in the Tianji Building, Mu Mian will come into the palace and tell me. She said that she will be my eyes and ears outside the palace."

"So, you also know about King Rui's stay in Cangzhou?"

Chu Yuan put Brother Ming on the soft couch, and while taking off his shoes, he turned around and asked.

Fang Ruxuan nodded, "Tell me, what exactly is King Rui going to do?"

Seeing Fang Ruxuan sighed helplessly, Chu Yuan thought for a while, and decided to tell her, otherwise, she would always be so cranky.

"Now, whether it is King Yong or King Rui, most of them know that they can't fight against me alone. Therefore, the proposal made by the Fan years ago is actually the result of their negotiation. The purpose is to join forces to deal with me. Me. So, this is the reason why King Rui and King Xuan left the capital one after another, but King Yong did not take action for a long time."

As Chu Yuan said, he got up and walked to the bookshelf, and took out the Three Character Classic that he taught Brother Ming every day.

The little man obviously couldn't understand what his parents were saying, but when he saw the Three Character Classic, his smiling face suddenly wrinkled into a bitter gourd. He pushed the book aside impatiently, then looked up at Chu Yuan, and then at Fang Ruxuan. The appearance of the speech seems to be saying: You talk about your own, don't worry about me.

Chu Yuan smiled and patted Brother Ming's head, then turned around and asked Fang Ruxuan, "Now, do you understand?"

Fang Ruxuan lowered her head and pondered. In fact, she still had doubts in her heart: King Yong, King Xuan and King Rui joined forces, who would be the one who took the throne?

But in the next moment, she probably understood a little bit.

Now that King Yao is still alive, Chu Yuan is justifiable as the prince to supervise the country. No matter what changes are made by King Yong and others, once they start, it will be charged with usurping the throne and treason.

Therefore, for them, the most urgent task is to drive the prince Chu Yuan from the reserve position. At that time, their alliance will fall apart.

Therefore, they were originally on opposite sides, and they instantly became unified.

Although he lived in King Yao's Palace until he was seven years old before being sent to Da Yuan as a hostage, and he and King Yong and others are direct brothers, but they have been separated for more than ten years. To King Yong and the others, Chu Yuan is already a stranger. Like an outsider.

And this brother, who was an outsider to them, ascended to the reserve position as soon as he returned to Yao Kingdom, which was undoubtedly the biggest challenge to them. The outsider became an outside invasion By.

Thinking about it this way, Fang Ruxuan's alliance with the three of King Yong seems to be somewhat understandable.

"When did you discover these?"

Filled with admiration, Fang Ruxuan raised her eyes to look at Chu Yuan with an expression of admiration on her face. Even in her eyes, there seemed to be countless twinkling little stars.

Chu Yuan smiled heartily, "Guess?"

Putting on a look of serious thought, Fang Ruxuan replied: "When King Rui proposed to join the feudal clan?"

Chu Yuan shook his head.

"When King Yong and King Xuan also expressed that they were going to surrender?"

Chu Yuan shook his head again.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan's frowning and thoughtful expression, Chu Yuan smiled and said, "The night my father fainted after taking Wushisan, several of us guarded Qian'an Hall. Although we didn't say anything that night, , but looking at the eyes of the three of them, I guessed that they would have this day."

First work together to pull Chu Yuan from the reserve position. As long as Yao Kingdom has no crown prince, the competition between King Yong and others will be considered fair. Kou, the loser of the king, no matter who ascends to the throne in the end, the others will have nothing to be reconciled to.

Today's King Yong, King Xuan and King Rui probably have such an idea, right?
"I'm curious, who came up with the idea of ​​forming an alliance."

Speaking softly, Fang Ruxuan said as if talking to herself: "King Xuan is very thoughtful, I'm afraid he won't open his mouth like this. King Yong, he doesn't want to take the risk to entrust the land. Only King Rui, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he has that The spirit of 'putting to death and then reviving', I think, was brought up by him."

Chu Yuan nodded, and Fang Ruxuan continued: "If you really want to say this, I think that if their plan goes well, in the future, whether it is King Yong or King Xuan, they will all be stepping stones for King Rui."

"So, I never put King Yong seriously. If he had the ability, he would have been on the reserve position a few years ago, how could he wait until I come back from Dayuan?"

As he said with a sneer, a complex look burst out in Chu Yuan's eyes, "King Rui, you really have some real skills. Behind you are Empress Dowager Lou and Concubine Jing. If you are a few years older, it may not be impossible .only……"

After a long sigh, Chu Yuan didn't say anything, but Fang Ruxuan knew what his long sigh meant.

It was born from the same root, so why is it too anxious.

Perhaps, being born in the royal family and becoming brothers is a cruel thing, because their fate has been decided as early as the moment they were born.

It is really wise and wise to choose to be silent like King Ping, but how many people can see through this and resist the temptation of the supreme position?

"Okay, don't think about it anymore..."

There was some reproach in his eyes, Chu Yuan patted Fang Ruxuan's hand, and turned to talk about the midwife, "This time, nothing will go wrong, so don't worry."

"What worries me? It's you, who seems more nervous than me..."

Fang Ruxuan snickered.

Chu Yuan was speechless for a moment.

As soon as Chu Yuan thought about what happened last time, he was full of fear. In the past few days, seeing Fang Ruxuan's labor day approaching day by day, Fang Ruxuan was eating and drinking freely every day, and went to the courtyard for a walk in the sun when she was free. Chu Yuan, instructing Ding Xiang and the others in every detail, beat and beat the two midwives from time to time, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"The last time was my first delivery. You were not by my side. Didn't I come here? It is often said that a woman's first childbirth is like stepping into the gate of hell, and the second time it will be much smoother. So you Don't worry too much, I'm not afraid of anything when you're by my side."

Fang Ruxuan said softly, and snuggled into Chu Yuan's arms.

Taking a few deep breaths, Chu Yuan nodded, while reaching out to caress Fang Ruxuan's back.

Behind him, Brother Ming grinned, and the Three Character Classic in his hand had been torn into pieces.

Accompanied by another "hissing" sound, he looked up again, and saw his father's original gentle expression change. Brother Ming stared blankly, and handed over the three-character scripture with several pages missing in his hand.

Chu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, while Fang Ruxuan smiled beyond control.

Waking up early the next day, Fang Ruxuan went to Fengming Palace to pay her respects again. Queen Zhou asked a few words with concern, and then gently and considerately said: "According to the days, there is still about one month to go into labor. These days, you don't have to come to pay your respects again. Now, rest well in the Eastern Palace, and give birth to a child safely, more than anything else."

Finally this day came, Fang Ruxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but she stood up gratefully and thanked her.

Seeing Fang Ruxuan's back going away, Queen Zhou's face darkened a little bit.

"Will Princess Yong enter the palace today?"

Turning around and asking, Queen Zhou got up and walked slowly towards the inner hall, Fang Shanggong followed beside her and replied softly: "Yesterday I handed over the sign, saying that I will enter the palace this afternoon to greet my empress."

Responding noncommittally, Queen Zhou sighed: "Although King Yong's son has been decided, but she is now Princess Yong, and she should make plans for the future."

Fang Shanggong naturally understands the meaning of Queen Zhou's words. However, the matter of heirs has always been something that cannot be forced. The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Planning for Concubine Yong, she must know about it. However, she is probably more anxious about this matter than the empress, so the empress can wait and see. A smart person like Concubine Yong may not be long before the good news comes out .”

"I hope so..."

Sighing, Queen Zhou stepped forward and sat down in front of the dressing table.

The woman in the bronze mirror is graceful and luxurious, but there are already a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes, although she doesn't pay attention to it, it is not very noticeable, but only she knows when these wrinkles appeared.

The long years in the palace ruined her best youth.

"I want to report to your empress, Lu Rufei asks to see you..."

A palace maid came to communicate, interrupting Queen Zhou's exclamation, she went back and forth, Queen Zhou knew exactly what she came for.

"Xuan..."

Responding briefly, Queen Zhou got up and went back to the main hall.

In Xuanyi Hall, Fang Ruxuan picked up a pen and wrote something randomly on the paper in front of her.

King Yong was in charge of the Ministry of War, and behind him was the Queen of Zhou and the Houfu of Zhongshan. Presumably, some other civil and military officials supported him.

And King Rui has now gone to Lizhou, and there are 5 soldiers from the Lizhou military camp behind him. In the riot after the year, most of the [-] people must have become people that King Rui can use.And behind King Rui, there are Empress Dowager Lou, Concubine Jing and the Marquis of Lin'an behind them.

In this way, it is true that King Rui has a better chance of winning.

and many more……

The hand holding the pen paused, and Fang Ruxuan suddenly thought of something again.

The young lady of the Marquis of Chang'an married King Xuan and became Princess Xuan. Ordinarily, the Marquis of Chang'an should be a supporter of King Xuan, but Queen Zhou agreed to betroth the nine princesses to the Marquis of Chang'an. Does this mean that the Marquis of Chang'an In fact, he secretly supported and supported King Yong?

King Xuan...

Looking at the densely packed words on the paper, Fang Ruxuan suddenly discovered that everything seemed not as optimistic as Chu Yuan said.
