Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 355

Eunuch Gui naturally knew what the emperor was talking about.General Song is an old minister, but he is good at leading troops to fight, and he is familiar with the art of war. He has been defending his family and the country at the border for a long time. When he came back some time ago, he died for no reason.The emperor was furious about the death of General Song, but in the end he secretly found out that it was the second prince who did it, so he didn't say anything and just let it go.He was only secretly angry in his heart, but on the surface he just buried General Song generously, and did not ask the second prince to ask him to explain.

In fact, there is no need to find the second prince, the emperor must understand it in his heart.General Song enjoys prestige in the court of Qi State, and the second prince must have tried to win over the old general secretly, but General Song is upright and upright, so he probably did not agree, so the second prince became angry, so Song The general died.

In today's huge Qi country, there is not even a single soldier who sent troops to fight.If the emperor mentioned this matter in the court tomorrow, those princes would rush to submit their own people to the court, but most of those people were just talking on paper, but very few were able to fight.

Eunuch Gui looked at the emperor, there were many more wrinkles on the emperor's forehead, and there were several white strands in his hair.

"Your Majesty, your dragon body is the only consideration." Eunuch Gui couldn't help persuading.

"If something really happened to me, those wolf-hearted people would probably be happier." The emperor snorted coldly.

"Okay, I'd better finish approving these memorials first." The emperor looked at the memorials on the table, sighed, waved his hands, and Eunuch Gui stepped aside and waited quietly.

When Chen Zhi stepped out of the door of the imperial study, his eyes sank.The emperor seemed to realize that he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but he didn't ask anything, and he didn't say anything, maybe he just thought too much.Chen Zhi shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and prepared to go back to his palace.

When passing by the imperial garden, Chen Zhi didn't intend to stay, and the servants behind him followed him closely, but he didn't pay attention.

"Fifth brother!"

Chen Zhi's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he looked towards the source of the sound, and found that it was the third prince whom he happened to meet yesterday, the corners of his eyes twitched, how could he always meet these people who he didn't want to see these two days.

Now that the third prince stopped him, Chen Zhi couldn't continue to leave as if he hadn't seen it, so he stood there and watched the third prince approaching with a smile.

Although it is spring now, there is still a breeze, but the third prince is holding a fan. Chen Zhi knew that the third prince was not simple, so he was careful not to connect him with those scholars.

"Fifth brother, why are you in the imperial garden? Are you here to enjoy the flowers?" The third prince looked at Chen Zhi with a smile and asked.

"Third brother, just now my father asked me to care about me, and asked me if I lacked anything." Chen Zhi said with a smile.The news that the emperor was looking for him must have reached the ears of all the princes. After all, I was surrounded by their eyeliners, so I simply did not hide it.

The third prince's eyes flickered, "Really? Father seems to be very concerned about you, fifth brother. You have been in Zhao country for a long time, and the palace you live in has been abandoned for a long time. It was only recently that it was cleaned again for you to live in." , will inevitably feel wronged."

"I'm not wronged." Chen Zhi smiled.

Chen Zhi said a few words to the third prince, and then he wanted to find an excuse to leave, but the third prince suddenly pointed to a gazebo in front of him, "Fifth brother, the third brother hasn't been with you since you came back." Have a good chat, the second brother was there yesterday, today we two brothers will have a good chat."

Chen Zhi's smile froze for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but his heart became vigilant. Could it be that the third prince saw something yesterday?He looked up and saw the third prince smiling at him, with a smile on his face, "Okay." He said.

Chen Zhi and the third prince entered the pavilion, and Chen Zhi saw a scattered chessboard on the table in the pavilion.

The third prince also saw it, and said with a smile: "Which careless person left this behind." After finishing speaking, he said to Chen Zhi: "Fifth brother, can you play chess? Why don't we play chess?"

Chen Zhi quickly waved his hand, "Well, I don't know how to play chess very much, third brother, aren't you trying to make me look ugly in front of you?"

The third prince sat down, picked up the white and black pieces scattered on the chessboard and put them into a box beside him. "It's just for fun, Fifth Brother, go ahead and give it a try, why make a fool of yourself."

Chen Zhi saw that the third prince's tone was firm, so he didn't say much, and quietly watched the third prince put away the chess pieces.

"Please." The third prince said.

Chen Zhi subconsciously pursed his lips, picked up a black chess piece and put it down.

Chen Zhi raised his head and glanced at the third prince who was staring at the chessboard. He felt that the behavior of the third prince was extremely strange today.He said he was here to reminisce about the past and talk about brotherhood, but he didn't feel like it. Instead, he seemed to be testing himself further.But looking at his attitude towards him yesterday, he was no longer suspicious.

Chen Zhi focused on the chess game while concentrating on it.I can't intentionally show that I'm weak, but I also have to show that I really can't play chess.

So when it took a little brainstorming to determine where the chess pieces would fall, Chen Zhi would think carefully for a while, and then put down the chess pieces hesitantly, so that he could show that he really didn't understand very well, but he wasn't hiding it on purpose.

The third prince wanted to let the water go, and he just used this game of chess to see how stupid Chen Zhi was.Playing chess can best reveal a person's character and intelligence.Just like the second prince, every time I play chess with him, he is in a hurry, even if it is a trap, he will step into it without hesitation, and occasionally use some tricks, but they are not very precise.

But even if the third prince deliberately let the water go, he still won quickly.When he won, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the fifth younger brother's way of playing chess, he was indeed not as stupid as he appeared, and he still had a little understanding, but in the eyes of them, this little understanding was not on the table. .

The third prince has always been a very cautious person. Even though he felt that Chen Zhi was as good as he appeared yesterday, he was still a little worried. Knowing that the emperor had summoned Chen Zhi, he guarded in the imperial garden, waiting for Chen Zhi.But there was nothing wrong with Chen Zhi's words.

"Third brother, you are so smart." Chen Zhi admired.

The third prince smiled absent-mindedly. He looked at Chen Zhi with an innocent smile in front of him. The devilish face was an extremely innocent smile. The third prince couldn't help but think back to Chen Zhi when he was a child. He also looked like this, smiling every day. Wearing red clothes, he followed the second brother and him.After such a long time, he hasn't changed at all.

The third prince suddenly made a decision in his heart, if, if he finally ascended to that position, he will definitely arrange Chen Zhi's life for the rest of his life, let him stay away from this extremely dark palace, and spend himself in peace the rest of my life.
