Chapter 63

Before dawn the next day, Zhao Yuge woke up.

He turned around slightly and looked at Su Fufu who was sleeping soundly on his stomach, feeling puzzled in his heart.

Why is he not uncomfortable when he is with her?Won't wake up in the middle of the night?Could this be the way Imperial Doctor Fang said that spending more time with the people you like can cure your heart disease?
Zhao Yuge stared at Su Fufu's face.

For half an hour, his throat was tight and tight, and he did not know how many times he swallowed.

After getting up, he was afraid of waking her up, so he went back to Duanwang Palace wearing yesterday's clothes.

Sure enough, just after Zhao Yuge had breakfast, the oral order from the palace came, and so did Xi Yuan.

"My lord, Li Shu, the eunuch next to the fourth prince, was blocked when he met with Na Su last night. Now he is also taken to Jingjing Temple."

When Xi Yuan said this, there was a smile on his face.

Zhao Yuge's stiff shoulders also sank, but he tightened his eyes and restrained his treachery, and said, "Let Chang Yushi go!"

Xi Yuan took the order, and Zhao Yuge took Chen Zhi straight to the Jingjing Temple in the eastern suburbs.

Walking under the green linden tree and going around the ring corridor, a flying swallow bird on the lotus tile was startled by the sound of footsteps, and flew to the higher roof of the hall with its wings fluttering.

Zhao Yuge's eyes were strong and his purple shirt fluttered as he paced into the heavily guarded backyard hall.

"My son, please meet my father."

In the palace, Zhao Heming was questioning the head of the third department. The case was covered with open files. Zhao Heming had been listening to the trial all morning. His face was already tired, but he looked at Zhao Yuge brightly and asked him to get up.

Then he said to everyone: "Go to Yushitai immediately and bring the fourth prince over, I want to interrogate myself."

Everyone responded, and the Habayashi army outside the door came to report, "Your Majesty, the imperial censor often has an audience outside the temple, and there is something urgent to report."

After a while, Chang Yushi let out a dark green uniform and entered the hall. After kowtowing, he held a book and a booklet.And sonorously said: "Your Excellency, impeach Yushi Tai Shangshu Che Sheng, Yu Shi Taizhong Cheng Zhao Chengzhe, and Jingdezhen Official Kiln Secretary Li Fengmo for using public affairs for personal gain, exporting official organs, and enriching private pockets. In just a few months, the number has exceeded 20. Your Majesty, please be careful."

Che Sheng's eyes in the hall were startled, and everyone saw a layer of sweat under his official cap, rolling down his temples, suddenly his eyes were red, and he raised his hand like crazy and slapped Chang Yushi's face superior.Before Zhao Heming could speak, the Habayashi Army in the hall detained Che Sheng who was furious.

Zhao Yuge accompanied Zhao Heming in the trial that day. Although Zhao Chengzhe denied it, he finally confessed before piles of witnesses and material evidence.But he didn't have the blessing of the former prince, Zhao Heming didn't give him a chance to live at all.

In Yushitai's prison, Zhao Yuge specially ordered someone to prepare a large table of sumptuous food and drink, and then sent everyone out.

"Fourth brother... You didn't come to drink the wine for my marriage once, so make up for it this time!"

As he spoke, he sat down at the square table first, and Zhao Chengzhe, who was neatly dressed on the bed, also came to the table in a muffled voice.

Zhao Yuge held the jug and filled his cup with wine, and Zhao Chengzhe said, "Don't be complacent, without me, you still wouldn't be able to sit on the dragon chair."

His tone didn't have the slightest hint of cowardice from someone who was going to die, he picked up a glass of strong wine and drank it on his back.

Zhao Yuge wouldn't care what a dying person would say. He only drank his wine and said calmly, "If I sit on it, I will go to your grave and tell you to make you happy."

"Hmph... You still haven't seen it clearly. Except for Zhao Tuo, we princes, no matter what we do, we won't be able to please the emperor." He subconsciously touched the scar on his little finger.He remembered that when he was seven years old, his father was going to come to the study to test their homework, but Zhao Tuo was so nervous that he accidentally broke the brush on the table. He was afraid that his father would see and punish him, so he quickly picked up the pieces , Zhao Chengzhe, who was behind him, followed to help.After a while, the father came, and he went around to coax Zhao Tuo without seeing him. Because his father's clothes swept him away, he tilted his body and pierced his hand.He remembered that his father said at that time, why are you so careless?
Thinking of this, Zhao Chengzhe shook his head, held the silver chopsticks and said, "Don't look down on me, you are just like me, even if he orders you to do a lot of things now, it seems that he values ​​you...but it's not. We Don't even think about it, you are just like me, just a pawn, but a little more important than me. If you really want that piece, you have to grab it..."

As he said that, he leaned forward, "If you spare my life, I will help you win the throne."

If Zhao Chengzhe only said the first few sentences, Zhao Yuge thought that the words of a dying person were good, and he might put his words in his mouth and smash them carefully, but what he said immediately after him made him At the moment, I thought that Zhao Chengzhe was just fanning the flames to save his life.

He raised the corners of his lips and drank slowly, watching Zhao Chengzhe eat and drink.

"Tell me, how do you want to die? Rope or life-threatening medicine or..."

Zhao Chengzhe mentioned it in his ear, and heard that he didn't have the slightest intention of wanting to live, so he turned to laugh provocatively and said, "How about drinking a bottle of dove wine like your mother and concubine?" The corners of his sarcastic lips have not yet parted , There was a "swoosh" in his ear, and his usually high neck was like a punctured water bag, and blood spattered like a punctured water bag.

Zhao Yuge watched him retract the dagger with blank eyes.

Stand up and smile softly.

Zhao Chengzhe didn't go to protect the wound, but looked up at him for a moment, then snorted, lowered his eyes, picked up a piece of his favorite purple rice cake with the blood-stained chopsticks like a normal person, and put it in In the mouth, chewing carefully.

Zhao Chengzhe died at the dinner table.

It was dusk when Zhao Yuge returned to the mansion after he had settled his mind. He bathed and changed his clothes, then took Tanshui and brought a few jars of good wine to Su Guogong's mansion.

Knowing that he will definitely come, the banquet in the hall has not started for a long time, and Su Fufu is waiting for him to deliver the letter, feeling very anxious in her heart.

"The prince is here."

Zhao Yuge went to the hall to say hello to everyone, and Li Xiaoli quickly ordered the back chef to serve the dishes.Fang Ji pushes Rong'er and Zhu'er to go up to say hello, but the two little guys are not close to him, they respectfully ask the prince how he is, and then alienate him.

Su Yibang was the most enthusiastic. He knew that his daughter liked Zhao Chengyan, but apart from these, he admired Zhao Yuge.The reason is also very simple, just because last year he cleaned up the matter of the Southern King, and his way of using troops made him very admirable.So during the dinner, the two talked more about this matter, and they had a great time chatting over cups and cups.

It's just that Su Fufu was in a hurry, and looked at Zhao Yuge from time to time, but he pretended he didn't see it and ignored it, and Su Fufu couldn't ask him directly in front of everyone.Fortunately, after drinking for three rounds, the emperor's oral order came, released Su Yibang's restraint, and even rewarded him generously.

Taking advantage of this gap, Su Fufu moved to Zhao Yuge's side, and asked anxiously in a low voice, "Where is Zhao Chengyan? How is he?"

Zhao Yuge didn't look at her, but said coldly: "It's all right, I've returned to the palace."

"He's finally safe and sound."

Su Fufu muttered and caressed her excited heart, as if it was just a nightmare, now that the nightmare is gone, her sweetheart is still the noble fifth prince in the palace, Zhao Chengyan who loves to laugh.

She was cautiously happy, and Ash saw everything, and couldn't help lowering his eyes and sighing.

The Su couple sent Wang Rusheng away, and went back to the hall to toast with Zhao Yuge, but the servants outside the hall looked at the direction of Duan Wang's mansion and started a commotion. Tanshui exited the hall for a look, and hurried He rushed to Zhao Yuge and said anxiously: "My lord, there is water in Prince Duan's mansion."

Everyone poured their glasses and rushed out, only to see a mass of orange-red flames scuttling violently in the night in Prince Duan's mansion.
