Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 616 Corruption (3)
Chuxiu couldn't help but smiled comfortably and said, "Axi, you are still smart at the critical moment!" After finishing speaking, Chuxiu took the waist card in one hand, looked carefully, and suddenly felt a little cold in his heart.

"Your Highness, who is it?" The curious Axi saw that Chuxiu's expression was different, so he hurried over to take a look. Chuxiu snatched his waist card, and just smiled and said: "Axiu, it's okay, it's Concubine Ge's palace." Guards who didn’t escape, let’s go, go to my house, I’ll calm you down!”

Axi's dimples turned red immediately, and she whispered coquettishly: "Your Highness, forget it this time, our little master is still waiting for me to go back, but Your Highness, thank you so much today, this is Axi's own ancestral jade pendant , and the pattern I embroidered by myself!" As he spoke, Axi shyly handed the things in his bosom to Chuxiu's hands.

"Axi, you are willing to give me something!" The touched Chuxiu looked at Axi affectionately, with tears in his eyes.

In the middle of the night, when I returned to Prince Lu's mansion, after listening to Chuxiu's story, Deputy General Wu Gong couldn't help asking Chuxiu strangely: "My lord, who is the man behind the scenes who instigated the guards to spread rumors? Why did the lord want to hide it for him?"

Chu Xiu smiled faintly at Wu Gong, and let go of his hands that were clenched tightly on his waist badge. Wu Gong took a closer look, and was immediately stunned.

"Prince Song? Didn't expect it to be him? Isn't he the queen's most beloved adoptive son? Why did you plot against the queen?" Wu Gong asked in surprise.

"Well, under the temptation of power and the throne, no one has any unreasonable thoughts, but this time I am really surprised that the always loyal King Song would be so unkind and unrighteous in order to fight for the throne!" Chu Xiu said Wu Gong frowned tightly.

"Then, lord, what should we do? Shall we tell the empress to take precautions?" Wu Gong watched Chu Xiu cautiously.

Chuxiu leaned on the railing and looked up at Haoyue, without answering for a long time.

One month later, the Shuilong Shuren Hall in Chaoyang Palace was renovated. Empress Baosi summoned the princes and ministers to go to the court to discuss the succession of the emperor. The ministers lined up to enter the Shuilong Shuren Hall and paid homage to Baosi. Excitedly digging, he was the first to come out with his wat, and said in a loud voice: "I report to the empress empress that my minister believes that my son of the Great Zhou Dynasty must succeed It's fair to say that the empress's wife is more precious than her mother, so it's most appropriate for her to be succeeded by the legitimate son in the empress's womb!"

Que Tu's voice lingered in the hall for a long time, but unexpectedly no one responded after a while.

"Why don't you talk?" Digging looked back at the officials in amazement and asked loudly.

"Ju Tu, Lord Ben Hou has something unclear, and I would like to ask your lord to make it clear!" At this time, Qi Hou, who was full of gloom, stood up boldly, and lectured Qu Tu in a rude manner.

"I would like to hear the details!" Jue Tu knew that his father-in-law Qihou had always disliked him, so he quickly cupped his hands.

"Ju Tu, in the past few days, Lord Ben has heard some rumors that the child in the Empress's womb is not the flesh and blood of the late emperor at all. May I ask you, Qu Tu, what qualifications does this child have to inherit the throne of emperor?" Qi Hou sneered aggressively.

"Qihou, you have to be careful when you speak, the empress is pure and pure, how can you say something rude based on a few rumors?" Cheng Rong, who was filled with righteous indignation, immediately came out to retort.

"Master Cheng, I'm not the only one who heard about this, and now it's spread throughout the entire city of Haojing!" Qi Hou said with a cold glance at Cheng Rong.

"Father-in-law, please be careful with your words. This is the Shuilong Shuren Palace, a place where officials go to court. How can you take rumors and rumors seriously?" Die Tu, who was so angry that his face was livid, replied angrily.

Qihou smiled disdainfully and said: "Jutu, you are really a good son-in-law of my lord, my lord is just saying that this rumor is spreading in the capital, you are so nervous, you must be protecting the queen intentionally, this is full More than half of the old ministers in the court know why the late emperor suddenly punished you and demoted you to Hulaoguan, do you really want me to reveal your scandal?"

"Father-in-law, you're going too far!" Que Tu trembled with anger.
