The demon queen seduces the cold emperor

Chapter 285
"Father..." Chu Yunhe closed his eyes slightly, his big hands resting on the edge of the couch trembled faintly, and even his whole body couldn't help trembling slightly. Looking at Chu Muyuan for a long time, his eyes gradually turned red, The voice was slightly hoarse, "Father, if you say that my son is disloyal and unfilial, so be it. No matter what you think of my son now, I have nothing to say. I just beg you, please look at me with my mother." For the sake of my concubine's love, I will give the antidote to my son, and my son can swear that she will never collude with Tianying for the first time, and as long as she can live, I don't have to marry her, my father can rest assured, No matter how unfaithful or filial your subjects are, you will not ruin your own country by collaborating with the enemy!"

"You...cough cough..." Chu Muyuan caught his breath in his throat and coughed violently. Lu Kaiming hurriedly patted him on the back and reached for the teacup on the table. Chu Yunhe was one step ahead of him. Picking it up, pursing his lips and handing it over, Chu Muyuan drank a few sips and felt a little better, but with a flick of his hand, the tea bowl fell to the ground with a heavy "boom", the water splashed everywhere, and the tea bowl fell into pieces. That loud noise echoed in the warm pavilion for a long time...

"Lu Kaiming, bring a dagger!" Panting roughly, Chu Muyuan stared at Chu Yunhe and said every word. There was only coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Go get it!"

Raising all his strength and roaring these two words, Chu Muyuan leaned on the edge of the couch like a wounded leopard, his eyes fixed on Chu Yunhe, his face was so pale that he seemed to fall down at any moment. But stubbornly sticking there!

"...Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Kaiming hesitated, hesitated, clenched his fists and retreated to the inner hall, holding a golden dagger engraved with a golden dragon in his hands trembling slightly, and presented the things in his hands with both hands, his voice Li also trembled, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Before Chu Muyuan said a word, he pulled the knife out of its sheath with his own hands, looked at the blade that was gleaming with cold light, and smiled coldly, "Chu Yunhe, you secretly decided to spend your whole life with the daughter of the rebel, and killed you for the sake of that demon girl." Concubine Lan, set fire to the ceremonial room and kill Li Quanshui, the slave. I thought that you were the only son of Concubine Li, and I pampered you time and time again. Now that your wings are hardened, even if I want to eliminate the chaotic party, I have to rely on you, forcing me to force me , broke with me, everything was because of that demon girl, I gave birth to a good son, in front of women and fathers, women are bigger than heaven, then, I tell you, there is no antidote, unless you kill me with your own hands, let alone To draw blood for the medicine, even if you immediately change hands and marry the anti-thief girl as queen, I can't control it anymore, just happen to be reunited with your mother and concubine underground!"

"Father..." Chu Yunhe was startled, staggered back two steps, his handsome face turned pale in an instant, and stared blankly at the dagger in Chu Muyuan's hand that could cut iron as sharp as mud. For a long time, his mind went blank. !
"If you kill me, no one will be able to stop you from doing anything. Use your own father's blood to dye your throne and the red belts of you and the witch!" Chu Muyuan sneered. , raised the dagger high up, looked at Chu Yunhe mockingly, and the smile on his lips deepened, "I am a failed emperor, and even more a failed father, and I am also a thorn in my son's side, a thorn in my flesh, you Say, don't you?"

"Father!"

Chu Yunhe's legs softened, and he knelt down heavily, with hot tears slowly falling from the corners of his eyes, "You want my son to take your life with his own hands, do you want me to be struck by lightning? Father, my son is not filial, ruthless I can't let go of this heart, but I can't let go of Chu'er. I'm caught between my father and my lover, exhausted physically and mentally, and living is also a pain. It doesn't matter what country or great cause... It doesn't matter anymore... My son If you can't kill your father, and you can't save Chu'er, your minister resigns and never mentions the matter again. If Chu'er can live for a day, your minister will accompany her for a day. When she dies, your minister will also accompany her. Today is the last day of worship Royal father, farewell to the unfilial son Chu Yunhe!"

Yu Luo got up, regardless of the blood in the eyes behind him, and the coughing sound of the person behind him penetrating the hall, striding out of the Chaoyang Hall, the sunshine outside was beautiful, and it was very warm on the person, but, Chu Yun He shivered from the cold.She closed her eyes, slowly wiped her palm from her forehead, scooped up a handful of tears, and wet them between her five fingers.

Quietly leaving the palace, calmly returning to the mansion, the Xuanyi guards outside the Zhengyang Gate have all been transferred to the guards inside and outside the Eight Princes Mansion, Zhuge Xuanji was extremely anxious, and wanted to ask about Yao Yin, but saw Chu Yunhe's expression At that time, the words he wanted to say were stuck in his stomach, and he stood in the courtyard of Yuyuan in a daze, watching him enter the room, and closed the door.

In the room, there was no sound at all. Chu Yunhe lay flat on the bed, staring at the roof for a moment, letting the wet and slippery liquid roll down from the corner of his eyes, just watching without thinking about anything until exhausted. Come, eyes closed involuntarily, and the whole person was swept by darkness...

Outside Chaoyang Hall, Chu Luoying walked back and forth in small steps, looking in the direction of the hall door frequently, with an anxious and uneasy expression.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the palace door finally opened with a "squeak", and Lu Kaiming walked out from inside, followed by two imperial physicians.

"Road Manager!"

Chu Luoying hurriedly called out, walked over with her skirt up, waved her hand first, and asked the three of them, "How is your father?"

"Back to Princess Nine, the emperor's body is slightly ill, and he has already fallen asleep after taking the medicine." Lu Kaiming bowed his head and replied.

Chu Luoying nodded, "Oh, the road manager, I still have something to say to you."

"Ninth Princess, I will take my leave first!" The two imperial physicians immediately cupped their hands.

"Ah."

The imperial physician left, Chu Luoying looked around, lowered her voice and asked, "Mr. Lu, I heard that myna is back, is it?"

"Back to the Ninth Princess, yes, the Eighth Prince is probably out of the palace now!" Lu Kaiming said.

"Then, that starling is Mu Tianqing, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, then I also heard that the starling betrothed me to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Back to Princess Nine, yes."

Shy joy floated in Chu Luoying's eyes, and she lowered her head slightly, "Then the road manager told Father that I left the palace and went to the starling's mansion!"

"Princess Ninth can't do it now!" Lu Kaiming immediately raised his head, glanced at Chu Luoying, then lowered his head, "The emperor and the Eighth Prince got angry and fell ill just now, and they don't want to hear a word about the Eighth Prince, the slave dare not report back."

"Ah? What's the reason for that? The starling is so powerful, does the emperor still want to be angry with the starling?" Chu Luoying was astonished.

"Princess Nine, why don't you persuade the Eighth Prince, it's all because of Xiao Chuzi, the emperor wants to kill Xiao Chuzi, and forbid the Eighth Prince to marry Xiao Chuzi, the Eighth Prince refuses, the father and son are completely at loggerheads, if this goes on, we can only If it is easy to disrupt the party, the country is in danger!" Lu Kaiming said solemnly.

Chu Luoying was stunned, blinked her eyes for a while, and then sighed: "Brother has a deep affection for Xiao Chuzi, so how is it possible for him to marry Miss Xu Xiangfu regardless of Xiao Chuzi? But the emperor is also stubborn, and now this This is the juncture... If it really doesn't work, I might as well marry Miss Xu as my father, and save Xiao Chuzi's life first, then I will talk about it later, there is still hope in life, but once I die, there is no hope at all..."

With a sudden flash in his mind, Lu Kaiming suddenly raised his head, looked at Chu Luoying with a slight smile on his face, "Thank you Princess Jiu for reminding me, this slave will leave!"

Seeing Lu Kaiming enter Chaoyang Hall, Chu Luoying grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, wondering, "Did I say something? Why is Lu Kaiming so happy?"

At dusk, Chu Muyuan woke up, and Lu Kaiming stood at the head of the bed, "Your Majesty, you're awake!" He helped Chu Muyuan sit up and leaned against the cushion behind him.

A eunuch brought hot tea and waited on Chu Muyuan to drink it. Lu Kaiming dismissed the other palace people and stood alone, saying softly, "Your Majesty, let's eat!"

"I...cough cough, how can I have an appetite to eat?" Chu Muyuan coughed lightly and shook his head feebly.

"Your Majesty, can you allow me to say a few words?" Lu Kaiming asked tentatively.

Chu Muyuan said: "Let's talk, I don't have many close people around me. You have been by my side for many years, so I can trust you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Kaiming nodded, carefully choosing his words and said: "The matter of your Majesty bothering the Eighth Prince, in fact, I think that the Eighth Prince is a loyal and filial person, so today he would rather not save Xiao Chuzi than accept that. It can be seen from the dagger that it is just that the Eighth Prince is too emotional, and the emperor is right to worry. If the Eighth Prince marries a rebel girl, he will lose the trust of the people and the hearts of the three armies. It is difficult to get rid of, so the Eighth Prince cannot be allowed to marry Xiao Chuzi, but the Eighth Prince is very stubborn, if it is as it is now, he will no longer care about the affairs of the court, but only fall into the love of his children, and the result will be the death of Xiao Chuzi , he is also dead, the emperor lost his beloved son, and my Tiansu is also in danger, it is equivalent to the emperor and the eighth prince both suffering, it is better..."

"Go on!"

"Yes." Lu Kaiming lowered his head, and continued: "Your Majesty, why don't you come up with a strategy to slow down the army. The Emperor asked the Eighth Prince to marry Miss Xu first on the condition of an antidote, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people and the courtiers. After the eighth prince gets married, he will give the eighth prince the antidote. Once Xiao Chuzi is cured of the poison, the eighth prince will be happy, and then he will dispatch the Xiliangguan army to go out to fight. After the chaos is eradicated and the world is stable, the emperor will have no worries. Then make a decision whether to kill Xiao Chuzi, then at least I will be able to keep my court, and the emperor will be worthy of the ancestor emperor!"

"Yes, what you said makes sense. Otherwise, the big wedding planned by the Ministry of Rituals will be laughed at if the eighth child doesn't show up in three days. Such a slowdown is a good strategy. It wouldn't be a good idea to assassinate Xiao Chuzi after I have saved the country. It's hard, maybe Lao Ba said that the same death is just a threat to me, Xiao Chuzi is really dead, and with Qianli by his side, he will be sad for a while!" Chu Muyuan's face was full of joy, and he nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty, let the slaves stay for a while to visit the Eighth Prince's Mansion and talk to the Eighth Prince, what do you think?" Lu Kaiming's flat face showed no emotion, but when he heard the praise, he lowered his head again One point.

"Okay, I have dinner, you go out of the palace immediately to do it!"

"Yes!"
