After listening to my voice, the villain became addicted to the plot

Chu Chengye shook his head, with a smile on his face that he didn't even notice.

"She has a very bad temper. If you wake her up, you may not be able to have peace all day long."

When Wei An saw that Chu Chengye was not angry at pursuing Cheng Jin's wanton behavior, he actually seemed to be in a good mood.

This master's affairs were not something he could guess. Wei An nodded and continued to ask:
"Then, should the Emperor go to another palace to rest now, or should he wait for Concubine Rong to wake up?"

Chu Chengye shook his head and said, "Don't bother me. I'll go and rest after Concubine Rong wakes up."

"She went to bed early yesterday, and she will probably wake up later."

Wei An wanted to persuade him, but seeing Chu Chengye's firm attitude, he had to shut up.

Chu Chengye picked up a booklet and read it, and asked Wei An about the recent investigation of the case in Dali Temple.

"Li Shen still doesn't want to say anything?"

Wei An nodded, "Yes, Dali Temple has used all kinds of torture, but they can't pry General Li's mouth open."

"That's natural. This Li Shen came back from the vassal country with me. His endurance is even inferior to me."

"I really can't figure it out. I treat him so well. If it weren't for Li Shen, I might not be able to come back from the vassal state alone. How could he help others to assassinate me?"

Chu Chengye couldn't figure it out after so many days, so he rubbed his eyebrows.

"I can give him whatever he wants. He wants power. At worst, I will set a precedent for him to be crowned king with a different surname."

"But he shouldn't, he wants my life."

Wei An comforted him: "Why should the emperor worry about General Li? In this world, desire is the only gap that is difficult to fill."

"But I did find out something. Although it has nothing to do with who instigated it, I probably know why General Li assassinated the emperor."

Chu Chengye looked up at Wei An.

"When the emperor first ascended the throne, he dealt with several rebels in the court who were the same soldiers who fought with the emperor. I'm afraid General Li became suspicious at that time."

Chu Chengye said angrily: "Those people have limited abilities, insufficient greed, and deserve to die."

Wei An responded, "But everyone in this court says that General Li has great achievements. If General Li had become a general at that time, I am afraid that the Southern Qi Dynasty would have changed its surname."

"That's nonsense!" Chu Chengye lowered his voice and shouted, "Li Shen was also loyal to me in the beginning."

"Who spread such words? Let me kill this nagging person!"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Wei An calmed Chu Chengye's emotions and continued, "Although General Li is loyal, he cannot withstand the rumors in this court."

"In order to eliminate the rebels, the emperor changed the government policy. Rumors spread that the emperor was afraid that General Li would be too powerful and might have too much power. He was afraid that he would not have to kill General Li to establish his power. It was probably at this time that the traitor was allowed to take advantage of him. He took advantage of this opportunity to sow discord between the Emperor and General Li."

"If I were really afraid, how could I hand over the general power to him, how could I give him official titles and enjoy endless glory and wealth?"

Chu Chengye was furious after hearing these words.

Li Shen, Li Shen, you are smart for a while, but you are confused for the rest of your life.

If he really helped that person kill him, how could he survive alone.

Chu Chengye patted the table, and then thought that Cheng Jin was sleeping, so he suppressed his voice.

"madness!"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. The trial is still going on at Dali Temple."

"Master Zhen seems to have some clues about the death of Xiao Shunzi in prison last time."

"It seems we are the same, we are the same..." Wei An hesitated, but didn't know how to speak.

Chu Chengye gave Chu Chengye a hard look and said, "Say quickly."

"A few days ago, a prisoner died in the dungeon. He was a criminal of the former dynasty. He had good relations with Master Fu before. Master Fu also arranged for the jailer to take good care of him. He has been visiting him since then. However, Xiao Shunzi died after his death. , Master Fu has never been there again."

Wei An knelt on the ground.

"I know that Grand Master Fu is the emperor's teacher. These words are all made by my inquiring and guessing. I may be wrong. I hope the emperor will forgive me." Chu Chengye frowned and stared at the tea on the table, seeming to be thinking about something. His right hand kept stroking the ring in his hand.

Fu Taishi.

He probably should have doubted himself as a good teacher.

After listening to Cheng Jin's voice in court that day, he realized that Fu Hong, one of the few teachers in the world who treated him sincerely, would also be on the list.

Who would have thought that he was extremely ambitious and had planned so many things.

"Now go and send the Grand Master to the palace to see me."

Wei An explained: "Dali Temple has already informed us two days ago that Grand Master Fu said that he was ill and could not face the saint. He reported that he was ill when he went to court yesterday."

Can't face the saint?

How sick do you have to be to be afraid of seeing yourself in the palace?
I'm afraid it's not because he's physically ill, but because he's thinking about how to harm himself next, right?
Chu Chengye held the armrest of the couch with one hand, clenched his fists, and suddenly coughed twice out of breath.

Wei An quickly stepped forward and handed Chu Chengye water.

"Your Majesty, it's just groundless rumors now. Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry about this matter."

How could Chu Chengye not be angry.

The two people he trusted the most were the brothers who lived and died together, and the teacher he respected and admired the most.

One after another they wanted his life.

How could he not be angry?
Chu Chengye covered his mouth with his sleeves and coughed hard several times.

The anger seemed to rise up from the internal organs, rushing straight to Chu Chengye's throat.

He took a sip of tea before he could suppress the urge to cough.

Chu Chengye coughed muffledly.

Wei An advised Chu Chengye, "My anger will hurt my body. Your Majesty, I'd better call an imperial doctor to take a look."

Chu Chengye stopped Wei An who was about to go out, "There are so many pairs of eyes in this palace staring at me, wanting to see me die. I'm afraid most people in this hospital can't believe it and can't go."

What Chu Chengye said is indeed reasonable. People in this palace are unpredictable. If you want to kill Chu Chengye, it is best to start from the Taiyuan Hospital.

I'm afraid not everyone in the hospital wants to get first-hand news about Chu Chengye's poor health.

But now that he didn't ask the imperial doctor, Chu Chengye's cough became more and more severe and he couldn't suppress it.

Wei An stood beside him anxiously, and accidentally saw Cheng Jin still sleeping peacefully on the bed.

Concubine Rong's sleep was also very good.

The Emperor just said that Concubine Rong had gone to bed early yesterday and would wake up later. However, he and the Emperor had been talking here for so long and there was no sign of Concubine Rong turning over or waking up.

Chu Chengye noticed the way Wei An looked at Cheng Jin and called out to him.

"There's no need to call her. I know my body well. I just have a slight cough. It's nothing serious."

"I'll just rest nearby for a while. Don't wake her up."

Wei An had no choice but to agree.

Chu Chengye suppressed his voice and coughed in a low voice, as if he noticed something was wrong, and there was a smell of rust in his throat.

Chu Chengye guessed his bad thoughts, pretending to be relaxed, picked up the tea cup and held it in his hand to drink water to suppress the strange feeling in his throat.

But before the water reached his mouth, Chu Chengye could no longer control himself and coughed up a mouthful of blood in the water.

Purple-black blood spread in the tea.
