Chen Palace

Chapter 187 Lin Kuang
"You...you're fine."

The queen mother sneered slightly, but her expression became more and more peaceful, "If I abolish my son's throne and make you emperor, such a thing has never happened!"

"In ancient times, there was no queen mother who wanted to kill her own children."

King Jing replied directly, looking at the queen mother's furious eyes, and said: "You are not a snake and a scorpion, but the imperial edict fell into the hands of the emperor's brother, and the consequences are unmanageable, so you made such a bad plan."

"I'm different from the emperor, I will be filial to my mother, and I will respect and care about everything—"

He emphasized the meaning of the last sentence, and said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, why don't I write down the 'will' of respectfully requesting the empress dowager's political training?!"

The wolf soaked the thick ink, and a letter was written by the pen. After the king of Jing wrote it himself, he stamped his personal seal, pointed to it and said with a smile: "This is a trick used to cheat in the imperial examinations. I still use one or two tricks today. ——The date written on it is the second day of the new yuan, if I can't become 'Zhen' at that time, you won't be able to train Zheng either!"

The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "You really thought carefully!"

Jing Wang is very self-restraint, deaf to the irony in the conversation, got up and still politely leave.

The palace returned to tranquility, only the sound of the Empress Dowager fiddled with the teacup with the porcelain lid.

"wishful thinking."

She said in a low voice, but when she thought of the lost imperial decree, the emperor's respectful and distant expression, and the continuous poisoning, she had a decision in her heart.

"If Yuan Zhi can be content with the throne, he can be regarded as the best candidate..."

She mentioned King Jing's name with some reluctance, and let out a long sigh, but she was not depressed.

***
On October [-]th, Chen Lu finally returned from Luancheng, and entered the courtyard in a hurry. She saw a sycamore leaf flying straight towards her. She reached out to catch it, but there was no murderous look.

"One leaf falls and the world knows autumn... For the emperor, this is really an eventful autumn!"

She held the yellow leaf in her hand and looked at it, and smiled at the figure under the tree.

For a while, the phoenix tree seemed to be frightened, and the leaves fell like rain. The emperor danced a beautiful sword flower, retracted the long sword, and strode forward, ignoring the eyes of other people, and shook her hand. For a long time refused to let go.

His eyes were as bright as the morning stars, and his expression of surprise and joy made his calm and handsome face suddenly come alive.

"You're back!"

Thousands of thoughts, only turned into this sentence, but it is engraved in the heart, and the love is full of love.

"I am back."

Chen Lu replied in a low voice, letting him clenched his hands, his eyes dark.

She slid her fingertips across his wrist, and her expression froze, "Are you poisoned?!"

"I discovered it at the first sip. The toxicity is still low, so it doesn't matter."

The emperor comforted him, and after telling what had happened, he still had lingering fears about the thrill of that day: "I have never eaten anything from Concubine Yun, so I didn't get too deeply poisoned, but the imperial doctor was really shocking—" ——If he hadn't remembered what you usually said, this life would have been ruined by his hands!"

"Where is Concubine Yun, what does the Emperor plan to do with her?"

The emperor frowned in embarrassment, "The evidence of her crime is solid, but she still cries all day long. The empress is involved, so she can only go back to Beijing for interrogation slowly."

Chen Lu pondered for a while, and said: "If the queen is pursued, it is groundless and groundless. If not, Yunluo will be guilty of regicide immediately. Once she is executed by Ling Chi, it will be even more impossible to find out."

She raised her head, looked straight at the emperor, and asked, "Does the emperor really believe that the empress is behind the scenes?"

"I don't believe it, because it is of no benefit to her—she is the queen when I am here. Concubine Mei's fetus has not yet landed. If King Jing ascends the throne, she will be the emperor's wife. The difference is a world of difference. .”

The emperor thought of the loving Zhonggong in the past, and said with deep pain and sarcasm.

"I thought so too... However, there were also a series of assassinations and 'accidents' in Luan City, which are similar to this matter!"

A sneer flashed in Chen Lu's clear eyes, and said: "Lin Kuang was in prison and on the road, several groups of people have been interested in him all the time, poisoning, robbing, and attacking, the tricks are endless!"

"He was also assassinated?!"

The emperor was a little puzzled and asked, "What are the characteristics?"

"The visitors are all well-trained. Although they cover up their traces, they seem to be in the palace."

The emperor's heart trembled, but he heard Chen Lu continue: "I also questioned Lin Kuang, but he was just vague, saying that he has something about someone, so someone must kill him and then hurry up."

She concealed the imperial decree of the first emperor and did not mention it, but vaguely stated the reason, which made the emperor more vigilant——

What Lin Kuang is familiar with is nothing more than...!
A graceful figure floated in front of the emperor's eyes, and a terrifying thought crossed his mind——

"Could it be the queen mother... No, no!"

He shook his head resolutely, but his heart was provoked by that secret and terrifying thought, and he got closer to it.

"emperor……?"

The voice of Chen Lu woke him up from his contemplation, and the emperor asked, "Where is Lin Kuang now?"

"He was hit by an assassin's poisonous sword and is unconscious!"

Chen Lu said bitterly, as if she was very angry at the assassin's bold provocation.

On the [-]th day of October, Yujia returned to the palace on a dragon boat, and was warmly cheered by the people along the way. They paid the most simple and deep respect to the emperor who returned in triumph.

Outside the capital, the Empress Dowager went against the usual practice and led all the courtiers to greet her at a place forty miles outside the suburbs.

The yellow curtains on both sides blocked her appearance, the queen mother looked at the red leaves not far away, and smiled.

"In the end it still failed..."

She murmured and sighed, thinking of the news she had received - Lin Kuang would enter Beijing with Yu Jia, and her heart was even more gloomy.

Casually picked off the twigs beside the road, looking at the green leaves on them that had not yet withered and turned yellow, the Empress Dowager bent her bare hands and pulled them away.
broken in two--

"Emperor, don't blame me, you forced me..."

Whispering almost silently, the innocent twigs that were abandoned in the dust seemed to indicate the coming storm and rain in Beijing.

"The emperor is really lucky to have picked up this ready-made bargain—but Empress Chen, if you do your best for him, aren't you afraid that one day you will lose all your money? Don't blame me for not reminding you, the late emperor's deeds in this regard are truly wonderful. what!"

Sitting leisurely in the car, speaking with sarcasm and gloating, it was actually Lin Kuang who was called "comatose"!

There was a sinister and vicious smile on the corner of his mouth. If his hands and feet were not bound by large shackles, he could hardly be seen as a prisoner.
