However, these shocking and painful discoveries came too late, because at that time the late emperor had already passed away in depression, and Jin Rui had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He had just arrived in Zhangzhou and his foundation was not stable, and there was no concrete evidence to accuse him. If he rashly announces the murder of his concubine's mother and brother, it will only give Yi Jinrui the opportunity to fabricate the facts, making him obsessed with the matter of seizing the legitimate son, and wanting to slander the king of a country!
By then, not only would he have to bear the curse, but he would also be in a dire situation. In that case, he would not be able to avenge Madam Jing and her son. Therefore, although he regretted not reporting the findings to the late emperor early in the morning, he could only Suppressing the grief and anger, holding back, keeping these things in mind, just waiting for the day when the injustice can be avenged for their mother and son.
More than 20 years have passed since he endured this. Although he has been unable to let go of this matter in these years, seeing that Jin Rui's governance is still clear and the Shang Dynasty is stable and prosperous, if the scandalous things he did back then are easily exposed, It will only shake up the court and endanger the country. It is easy to change the owner of the country, but it is even more difficult to alleviate the crisis. Therefore, in order for the Yin family to prosper forever, he made a difficult and painful decision. That is to bury that matter forever in the heart until it is carried into the coffin!
Soon after, he noticed that his health was deteriorating, and later he learned that he was already dead. Before his death, there was only one thing that he couldn't let go of, that was, he wanted to return to Beijing to pay homage to her, and to ask for her forgiveness and forgiveness. He made that secret decision with great helplessness and pain!
Who knows, Jin Rui didn't give him the chance to remember her in the end, which aroused the hatred that he had hidden in his heart for many years. Therefore, knowing that his fate was like this, he couldn't bear it any longer, so this happened. Incidents of cheating and hijacking...
He wanted to completely pull him off the throne, because he was not worthy of being the leader of a country. He also wanted to take advantage of his lifetime to avenge her and his brother who died young!
At this time, the King of Chu was obviously hysterical, with a look of anger on his face. He roared crazily and glared at the king with anger and hatred, but there was a deep sorrow in his eyes.
Seeing the surprise and confusion in Ge Shu Wuluan's eyes, if the sadness and pain he showed were for the third prince who died young, would this emotion be too much? After all, they were not of the same mother, and as a nobleman of the Tian family, family ties were thin. Why would he be so sad about the death of his half-brother
However, from the meaning of his words, she could vaguely sense that his rebellion was not just for his own selfish desires, but that he had some other hidden purpose, otherwise he would not have tolerated it for so many years, but he waited until Take action only when your destiny is almost over.
What are the hidden purposes? And why is he telling the truth about the death of Mrs. Jing and her son now? Could it be that it was just to expose the king's evil deeds of poisoning his concubine's mother and half-brother, and help him successfully seize the throne? !
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, shocking her heart. Could it be...
Just when the woman was secretly shocked and regretful, she heard the monarch sneer coldly. Although his expression was gloomy, he smiled instead of angry, "Oh? Since you have noticed it a long time ago, and since you have evidence, why didn't you stand up early in the morning? You came out to expose this matter, but you waited until now to say it? Could it be that you were deliberately using this to confuse the public and cover up your rebellious crime! Oh, while you are thinking about your blood brothers, you are using your own brother without permission Detaining people in jail and planning to do whatever you want, is this what you call 'brotherly love'?! This makes everyone feel chilled, but at the same time, they can't help but wonder, are you deploring the death of your third brother, or are you secretly hiding it? What 'others' are so shameless are people's thoughts!"
The monarch's eyes were so sharp and clear, as if he had already peeped out the secrets buried in King Chu's heart, and he was even more convinced that he had no definite evidence at all, so he calmly refuted his previous words with four ounces of force. After returning, the topic changed immediately, and those topics that were difficult for the King of Chu to talk about were pushed to him, easily reversing the current embarrassing situation for the king.
Instantly, the hidden thoughts that Shu Wuluan had roughly guessed before were deepened, and she was also secretly surprised. The monarch was indeed very secretive and restrained. He glanced at the concubine unconsciously, but Although the empress's expression is obvious, it is not difficult to see the sadness and dejection mixed in it.
Yes, with the wisdom of the empress, she may have noticed early on that the monarch has been disguising his character, hiding behind her for years to avoid the sharp edges, throwing all the sharp edges at her, while he himself is keeping a low profile. , silently forbearing, just to seize the power in the court once...
Just because he was her beloved pillow, she kept denying it, and she didn't dare to face it directly.
Until this moment, whether the monarch exposed his true nature accidentally or intentionally, the empress could completely see his true face, which made him look endlessly frustrated and sad!
As everyone knows, although such a king can win over the supreme power, he will hurt and miss the queen's heart. At that time, who should be miserable? !
Brother Shu Wuluan couldn't help asking himself sadly in his heart. He inadvertently glanced at Yan Qisha's face, and saw that his charming face was slightly pale, and his long silver eyelashes were lightly drooped and then covered his eyes. I don’t know what I’m thinking about at the moment.
For this reason, she secretly frowned. From the day he first arrived at the palace, he had been inexplicably depressed and taciturn. Why
King Chu, who had just calmed down his emotions, suddenly changed his face when he heard the king's profound words. He was gloomy and slightly panicked. Even the words he spoke were so insane that he could not control himself, "Jin Rui, Just deny it and make excuses with twisted words! Whether you have done those things or not, you know and I know, and God is still watching! Sooner or later, you, a vicious and foolish king, will get the retribution he deserves, soon. He will be punished by God... Hahaha... "
That was his crazy laughter, and what flashed through his scarlet and bloodthirsty eyes was undisguised resentment towards the king, and some inexplicable sadness. The hatred was deep in the bones, and the pain was deep in the marrow!
Just as the hall was filled with his ferocious, demonic laughter, the sounds of fighting outside the hall gradually faded away, replaced by a solemn one.
Suddenly, a burst of noisy and steady footsteps was heard. Immediately afterwards, a group of sword guards stood proudly on both sides of the entrance to the palace. After that, a tall and strong figure hurriedly stepped into the door, taking advantage of the situation. There was a strong smell of blood.
But Xia Xuefenglei, whose clothes were stained with blood, took two steps and suddenly fell to the ground on one knee. He clasped his fists and said respectfully to the monarch in the iron cage: "Your Majesty, all the rebels have been killed by King Ruikang who came to the rescue of King Qin." Your Majesty's troops have captured and suppressed them, and the remaining rabble have all surrendered and are tied outside the palace, awaiting their fate. Your Majesty, please forgive me for the delay in coming to our aid!"
His voice was already loud, and with these inspiring words, Brother Shu Wuluan was shocked all over. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the concubine. It was rare to see a trace of relaxation on that elegant face. The slow color, however, is also vaguely mixed with a little loneliness.
Seeing it in her eyes made her understand.
For this reason, a layer of gloom gradually gathered in Ge Shu Wuluan's heart. Since the rebels had been captured, why was it Lei instead of Su'er who came to greet him? !
Glancing outside the palace in disappointment, I saw that the guards all had solemn and mysterious expressions. It was obvious at a glance that they were well-trained. It was obvious that they were not soldiers under King Ruikang. You could tell just from their clothes and makeup.
I can't help but wonder where these people came from? Since they came with Lei to greet him, could they be people brought by Lei from the capital
No wonder Lei came so late, it turned out to be to adjust... But, that's not right!
She knew that it was true that Lei Yuan was a guard in the inner palace guard camp, but he did not have that authority, and he had not received the monarch's instruction, so he could not mobilize these palace guards at will!
Then I thought, maybe, what other identity does Xia Xuefenglei have in private? ! And the rights of this status are no less than her authority as a first-class queen!
If this is the case, then he has been hiding it so well during these days that he has been with her, and he has not let her see through it at all!
So, who is he? The king's, or the empress's? What is the purpose of lurking around her? Monitor her
While Ge Shu Wuluan was secretly shocked and conjecturing, the monarch's eyes flashed with a dark light, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, which was so fast that it was hard to catch him. He raised his hand to signal him to stand up, and sneered. He raised his eyes to face the man who was slumped in the chair.
Xia Xuefenglei suddenly saw the gesture, and hurriedly stood up and stepped aside. From the beginning to the end, he never noticed the woman's searching eyes on him.
After saying these words, the hall suddenly became quiet. You could hear a needle drop, and the expressions and moods of the people present were different.
At this time, Yan Qisha, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and called out coldly: "Come here, take these two traitors in the palace into custody!"
His voice was cold and contained no emotion, and even his expression was neither happy nor angry, indifferent, calm, no, probably indifferent, which surprised Ge Shu Wuluan, and she couldn't figure out what he was thinking at the moment. What are you thinking about
With a shout, Duan saw two guards running in. They hurriedly dragged the two Chu King's personal guards who had been lying limply on the ground and carried them out of the palace.
The footsteps slowly stopped, and looking at King Chu's face, which was already pale and gray, the sickly face seemed to have become much older in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that he knew that the situation was over and there was no way to recover, and his unwilling heart was completely lost. rock bottom.
