The two princes were confused by the scrambling expressions on their faces. They wondered, are He Lian Kuang and He Lian Heng crazy
Competing for the position of an envoy, just to take a little prince from another country to eat, drink and have fun? These two people? Are you sick
All the princes subconsciously believed that they were the supreme being. No one can lower their dignity, not even a foreign little prince! No way!
The old emperor frowned and looked at the two people. Unexpectedly, the two of them were scrambling for a seat. He looked at the princes gloating about their misfortune and sighed. He spoke.
"You all please step back. Heng'er, Xiaoqi, you two stay."
All the princes thought that the old emperor wanted to leave the two of them to decide alone, so they didn't stay any longer and immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
After everyone left, the old emperor's face suddenly turned cold. He looked at the two people kneeling in front of him and spoke in a deep voice.
"You two, let's talk. What happened to what you didn't finish just now?"
Before He Lianheng could speak, He Liankuang spoke first.
"Father, I only stopped the emperor to investigate the assassin. I have offended many things, so I can only ask the emperor to forgive me."
"He Lian Kuang, this is the first time I have heard that General Bai Chu and my father's orders are being used to suppress me. Brother Huang really understands this." After He Lian Heng said this, the sarcasm in his eyes became even stronger.
"I just have no choice. I would rather kill three thousand and leave no one behind. Any strange woman, it is better to prove her presence clearly. If the emperor brother was so happy that day, he would show us the woman and verify her identity. Emperor brother Naturally, I won't embarrass the Imperial Brother!" Helian Kuang was startled at first, then sneered, and retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
"You! Isn't my woman the one that everyone can see if they want to? Seventh brother, you have a good excuse to make my brother really knowledgeable."
"If my brother insists on blaming me today, after the emperor's brother leaves, I can go to the minister's room and get thirty pieces of paper to apologize to my brother. Is this okay?"
He Liankuang actually gave up arguing and accepted it directly.
The old emperor who had always stayed out of the matter saw a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes when Helian Kuang accepted the punishment so decisively, but it was quickly suppressed and he couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
This Helian Kuang is really a decisive and ruthless person. I think he must be too sharp when he becomes the emperor one day, and he is a decisive and decisive person. If such a person becomes the emperor, will it be a disaster or a blessing for the people?
Sighed. The old emperor waved his hand, looked at He Lianheng with a look of resentment, and said.
"In that case, just do what Xiao Qi said. If you are not satisfied, just go and have a look, so as not to let the servants in the service room engage in malpractice for personal gain." At this point, the old emperor snorted coldly, Ruo You glanced at He Lian Kuang indifferently, as if he was very unhappy with He Lian Kuang.
"But..." He Lianheng gritted his teeth, but still resisted the temptation to tell the story about He Lian Kuang's poisoning. He didn't say it because he was soft-hearted toward He Lian Kuang. But because of Du Suxi. If this matter is told, Du Suxi, as a witness, will definitely appear to testify. If he appears to testify, Du Suxi's identity will definitely be made public. The consequences of the crime of deceiving the emperor will be death!
He Lianheng's teeth were itching in the face of Helian's mad hatred, but he had to admit it in his heart. Helian Kuang's move was indeed beautiful.
He knew clearly that he would not tell Du Suxi, so he took everything on himself. This was just an ordinary brotherly dispute. In addition, he used his own words to punish himself and ruined the reputation of all virtuous people. He Liankuang did this, and it was indeed a beautiful, decisive and ruthless job! He pinched his throat accurately. If he was fussy again, it would appear that he was petty and had no tolerance for others.
In a short period of time, He Lianheng was so forced that he had to knock out his teeth and swallow it. For the first time, he got to know the true face of Helian Kuang, who had always been docile and humble. Even though he had some disdainful behaviors of He Lian Kuang, But from an onlooker's perspective, he had to admit it. Helian Kuang is really a sophisticated conspirator and politician. Such an opponent makes people feel more than just terrifying.
However, he had no way out, and he didn't want any way out.
You want to fight! Then fight! He also
I have never been afraid of anyone coming. After figuring this out, He Lianheng also raised his head, looked at Helian Kuang, and forced a smile.
"In this case, I will accept the apology offered by the emperor. However, if the emperor insults the emperor indiscriminately next time, the emperor will not be polite." He Lianheng said, and added He emphasized the last half of the sentence. Looking at Helian Kuang, he said words that only the two of them could understand.
"Okay. Now that the argument between you two has come to an end, I'm relieved. However, why are you two competing to be the messenger again? Could it be that your little prince Guke Hanzha of Inner Mongolia, what is it? Isn’t he a great big shot?”
The old emperor didn't say it clearly, but he hinted that he was unhappy.
In the eyes of the old emperor, he was just a prince, and he was a prince from a barbarian country. He actually had his two most valued sons competing to be the welcoming messengers. If word of this spread, It’s really such a shame for Tiansheng Dynasty!
He is a heavenly saint and can never afford to lose that face!
He Liankuang raised his head and looked at the old emperor with a humble smile as he explained seriously.
"I didn't have any other intention. I just saw that none of the brothers were willing to do this hard work. I happened to have some free time, so I took the initiative to take it over to save them from embarrassment. I just don't know why the emperor is interested in doing such a job. Hard work? Is it possible that it is the same as my brother thinks?"
Facing He Lian Kuang's aggressive rhetorical question, He Lian Heng snorted coldly, frowned, stood up, and rolled his sleeves.
"Huh, since you want to be the messenger, I will let you do it. However, our Heavenly Saint is a country of etiquette. You must not play tricks and lose the face of our Heavenly Saint and let the four countries look at my Heavenly Saint. Holy joke!”
Helian Kuang heard what He Lianheng said, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes when he looked at He Lianheng, but it was hidden in an instant. It disappeared so fast that people didn't even see it clearly. He returned to his respectful and polite appearance.
"What the emperor taught me, my brother must bear in mind."
The old emperor had been watching the overt and covert fighting between the two, and he had guessed everything about them. Seeing that the two of them were at odds, they had no intention of talking anymore. He waved his hands and said.
"In that case, please ask Xiaoqi to entertain the little Mongolian prince nicely. By the way, we must find an opportunity to find out clearly what is the purpose of their visit to Tiansheng this time?"
"My son, I obey."
Helian Kuang nodded immediately after hearing the emperor's words, looking like a loyal minister and filial son. He Lianheng looked at He Liankuang's artificial eyebrows and felt that it was too much to look at. He snorted secretly, bowed to the old emperor, and said.
"Father, if nothing happens, I will retreat first."
The old emperor nodded, closed his eyes and gently rubbed his temples, and said casually.
"Well, Xiaoqi, please step aside. I'm a little tired too. It's time to take a good rest."
He Lianheng raised his head and glanced at the old emperor, lowered his head, said goodbye, and then followed He Lianheng's footsteps and left.
But what the two of them didn't know was that after they left, the old emperor suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes that should have been cloudy.
"Of my two sons, one is too tough and the other is too soft. No matter which one becomes the emperor, he will have to have some experience. I don't know if I can survive until that time. However, they There seems to be some irreconcilable conflict between them. In front of me, they both treat each other as enemies. In private, I'm afraid they are at loggerheads."
After saying that, the old emperor showed a hint of melancholy in his eyes. After all, the palms and backs of his hands were made of flesh. No matter who he hurt, he felt very distressed. After pondering for a while, the old emperor sighed, showed a wry smile, and closed his eyes again.
"That's all. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Didn't that generation come to the position of emperor in a bloody storm? I should have been used to it a long time ago, so why bother with this?"
"Why did the emperor leave in such a hurry? Did the emperor want to see the beautiful lady who pleases the emperor as soon as possible?"
He Liankuang took two steps and caught up with He Lianheng. He spoke intimately, as if they were still close and good brothers.
There was no gap between the two of them.
He Lianheng couldn't help but frowned when he heard He Lian Kuang's words trying to get him involved, and looked at He Lian Kuang in disgust as he spoke.
"Helian Kuang, put away your thoughts and tricks. You understand what you have done."
After saying that, He Lianheng seemed to never want to look at He Lian Kuang again and turned around to leave.
"Brother Huang is indeed handsome, but does he ever know who I am, Du Suxi?"
He Lianheng paused in his steps. He stayed in place, although he didn't look back, but his face showed hesitation. this moment. It was enough for Helian to catch up.
"It seems that you still care about Du Suxi in your heart. Unexpectedly, she has the ability to make the Third Highness, who has always been handsome and elegant, fall in love with everyone. But it's a pity that she is already my woman. I don't like her very much. , my woman was touched. Brother Emperor, do you understand?"
He Lianheng's back suddenly froze, his breathing was a little heavy, but he still didn't speak.
He Liankuang looked at He Lianheng's expression with satisfaction, showed a smile, looked at He Lianheng and said.
"Brother Huang may not know that Du Suxi and I have been married for a long time, so Brother Huang, it's better not to make any decisions. After all, although Brother Huang doesn't mind, I still feel a little regretful in my heart. .”
After He Liankuang finished speaking, he didn't care about the stunned He Lianheng at all. He jumped over He Lianheng in a good mood and left directly.
"Stop!" Looking at He Lian Kuang who had walked some distance away, He Lian Heng finally recovered, frowned and stared at He Lian Kuang, and said through gritted teeth.
"What you said is just to disturb my mind. I will not be fooled!"
Helian Kuang responded with an indifferent smile.
"Oh? Really? So does the Emperor think I am joking? Since the Emperor insists that I am joking, then just think that I am joking. But when the time comes, please don't blame me for not reminding you. .”
In terms of scheming, even with He Lianheng's skills, he still couldn't beat He Liankuang. Seeing He Lian Kuang's back walking away gracefully, He Lian Heng clenched his hands unwillingly, and immediately seemed to have thought of something again. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Looking at He Lian Kuang's back walking further and further away, he continued. shouted.
"You seem to have forgotten that you owe me something. If you don't remember, I can ask my father for you!"
He Lianheng's footsteps immediately stopped because of these words, and he stood there blankly, silently and silently. After a while, he turned his head calmly and looked at He Lianheng behind him, with a smile on his face. With a bloodthirsty and cruel smile, he looked at He Lianheng and said.
"Really? If the emperor doesn't say anything, I will almost forget it. Since the emperor wants it so much, what if I get another thirty hits?"
After Helian Kuang said this, he acted as if he didn't take it seriously, and walked towards the minister's room with a big smile.
He Lianheng stood there and looked at He Lian's back as he left in a carefree manner. He felt unspeakable anger in his heart, blocked in his heart. He couldn't get up or get down, which was especially uncomfortable.
However, he himself was not sure. Did what Helian Kuang said to him just now have any impact on him? Du Suxi has always avoided talking about the child's father. Is it really like what He Lian Kuang said? Thinking of the reason why Helian Kuang let them out of the palace inexplicably. He Lianheng couldn't help but feel a little more convinced in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, He Lianheng thought to himself. "No matter what, I shouldn't just take his word for it. It's better for me to judge for myself whether it's true or false!"
Thinking of this, He Lianheng called Fei Ying and asked him to supervise He Lian Kuang's thirty-stick punishment. After that, he hurried out of the palace and rushed to Moshang Xiangfang.
It's not that he doesn't trust Du Suxi in his heart, but that he has doubts in his heart. If there is no suitable explanation, he will probably remain in panic.
In this case, he might as well ask for a clear answer, lest it become a knot in his heart and be affected by him when he faces Helian Kuang in the future.
He Lianheng had already suffered a loss at the hands of Helian Kuang. Naturally, we have a preliminary understanding of Helian Kuang's deep scheming.
However, no one knew that He Lianheng was calm on the surface, but couldn't help but panic inside. What if it was really like that? What would he do
