There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 171 Whose fault is it?
"Why did you go there just now?" Chu Xiu got up and asked.

"Dinner!" Xiuwen said naturally, "The so-called emperor eats, and it's dinner time, so of course I'm going to eat."

Although he blamed himself for being too harsh on Xiuwen just now, it is not a normal person not to get mad when faced with Xiuwen's "unreasonable" behavior. "Did you make a mistake?! When Huangfulu's life was dying, you actually went to eat?" This Xiuwen couldn't be an alien, could he?

"Didn't I say that? Ah Li has a lot of experience in injuries, so he won't die so easily. Look, isn't he waking up?" Xiuwen waved his hand and said, "Besides, even if Ah Li really died Now, we have to eat too!"

Chu Xiu could almost hear the sound of his brain breaking.God, why is there such a creature named "Xiuwen" in this world? !Just when he was about to throw away things like "manners" and was about to scold Xiuwen the shrew, Xiuwen seemed to have discovered something, and ran out in a hurry. "What the hell?!" Chu Xiu cursed fiercely.

Zhao Beiyi never thought that seeing his old friend Zining again would be in such a situation and in such a place. "Drinking?" He handed the flagon he carried to General Zi Ning who was sitting next to Rou Niang's tombstone.

"Can Xunxian ask people to drink too?" Zi Ning raised his hand to take the jug and asked him with a smile.

"I didn't expect Rou Niang to have passed away for three years." Zhao Beiyi sat down on the ground, looked at the words engraved on the tombstone, and felt a little emotional, "Why did it become like this? Thinking about the king back then... Sigh! How could the king change now? Like this?"

"The king hasn't changed—it's because he hasn't changed that this kind of thing happened." He raised his head and took a sip of his wine, and said, "How have you been all these years?"

"Much better than you." Zhao Beiyi snorted, "How long do you want to pamper the king? If this continues, returning to the country will no longer exist. So how do you complete what you promised the first emperor?"

"Indulge..." He chewed these two words, "Perhaps you are right, I am indulging him, but what I promised the late emperor was not... Forget it, let's not talk about it."

"You are always like this, you keep everything in your heart and don't say it." Zhao Beiyi snorted and said.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not me who put everything in my heart, but the king. The king is still afraid even now."

"Your Majesty is in control now, what else is there to be afraid of?" Zhao Beiyi said.

"You don't understand." He smiled, "The things you have to face while sitting in that seat are not as simple as you imagined."

"I'm not a king, how can I understand?" Zhao Beiyi took the jug from him, took a sip, and said, "You speak as if you know it?"

"I do know something." He touched Rou Niang's tombstone, "The king is not a prince. His mother, Mrs. Jing Yuan, has another prince, Chen, besides the king."

"I know that it is the elder brother of the current king, the former prince, who was sent to prison for attempting to poison the late emperor. As a prince, the late emperor gave him a glass of poisoned wine and ordered him to commit suicide." Zhao Beiyi said, "However, I heard that the crown prince was wronged and claimed that he was framed by others, but the evidence is convincing. Mrs. Jingyuan was also implicated by him. She was thrown into the cold palace and finally died of madness. The current king was still a child at the time, so it was impossible Participated in that conspiracy, so they were not convicted together."

"Yes. But at that time, the king watched his relatives suffer torture and died. For the young king, it was an unforgettable nightmare."

"Then you should love the people like your son! How can you pass on what you have suffered to others!" Zhao Beiyi slammed the hammer to the ground.

"Don't your hands hurt?" He asked Zhao Beiyi, who was grinning in pain, amusedly.

"You can still laugh?" Zhao Beiyi scolded, "It's fun, isn't it?!"

He shook his head with a smile, and said, "The King is actually in great pain. Although he didn't say anything, I know he's not feeling well either."

"You actually speak for him!" Zhao Beiyi said incredulously, "If I hadn't known that you were not a member of the royal family, I would have thought you were some relative of the king."

"Dear ones?" He narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said, "The elder brother who died unjustly, and the mother who died of madness were all killed by his relatives."

Zhao Beiyi choked, "Uh...that's exactly what I said."

"But you're not completely wrong." He said with a slight smile.

"What?" Zhao Beiyi didn't hear his words clearly, so he asked again.

"It's nothing." He said, "You came back suddenly, did you want to tell me something?"

Zhao Beiyi, who was still noisy just now, immediately fell silent.

"Okay, go ahead. There's nothing in this world that can shock me, right?" he said.

Zhao Beiyi bit his lip fiercely, and said, "Zining, find a way to get out of here!"

"Reason?" It's not the first time Zhao Beiyi said this. At that time, he had already mentioned the reason why he couldn't leave here. Why did Zhao Beiyi bring it up again now?
"You will die!" Zhao Beiyi suddenly said excitedly.

"Really?" Compared to Zhao Beiyi's excitement, he seemed too plain, as if he had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Beiyi rushed forward and grabbed his lapel, shouting: "Can't you react a bit? Don't you care that you will die?!"

"As long as it is human, it will die." He smiled helplessly, "The only difference is whether it is sooner or later."

"Why are you always like this? Even if you don't care about your own life or death, you still have to think about the people around you!" Zhao Beiyi said angrily.

"Rou Niang is no longer here." He said lightly.

"But you still have my good friend, and tens of thousands of soldiers following you!" Zhao Beiyi roared.

He smiled and sighed, and said, "I said, didn't your master teach you to be calm when you encounter problems? How can you be so excited without the two armies?"

"Bah! If it weren't for your undead look, would I need to get angry here?" Zhao Beiyi spat vigorously.

He got up and patted Zhao Beiyi on the shoulder, and said, "I know you are worried about me, otherwise, with your temperament, how could you come back from all the way to catch up with me?" After a pause, he spoke again, "And I can't leave you behind Your Majesty."

"Zining, are you crazy?" Zhao Beiyi said with wide-eyed eyes.

He shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not. You just said that the king is cruel. Since you have experienced such pain yourself, you should treat others better, right?"

"Is there something wrong?" Zhao Beiyi asked strangely.

"Of course it makes sense, but if it were you, would you really be able to do it?" He asked seriously.

"Of course I..." Zhao Beiyi was filled with indignation and was about to say that he could do it, but after thinking about it, he sighed again and said, "I don't know."

"Yes, you don't know, because you haven't experienced such a thing, so naturally you can't understand the state of mind of the king." He said indifferently, "He was only nine years old at the time, and he was at the time when he half understood the world. But at that time, the second prince Jane, who framed the prince, took him into prison forcibly in order to warn the king, let him witness the prince being given poisoned wine, and let him watch his elder brother struggling in pain after drinking the poisoned wine. The process of Qikong bleeding to death. The king, who was still a child at that time, was so frightened that he didn't even notice that the second prince and his entourage had left. He just stayed in the prison with the corpse. When the palace people found out that he was gone, come Tell me, when I found him in the prison, it was already the third day of Xushi, and two days had passed since the king was taken away and the prince was killed until I found him."

Zhao Beiyi could only open his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. After finally recovering his voice, he asked dryly, "Didn't the jailers in the prison find out?"

He sighed, and said: "The second prince killed the prince, although he was ordered by the first emperor, but he was able to kill the prince by framing the prince. How could he keep more people in the prison to listen to the prince's dying words? He He has to show off the poisonous tricks he used in front of the prince and the current king, but how can these be heard by others? He naturally ignored the king, and left the prison after poisoning the prince. And as far as I know, Only the prince is locked up in that big prison, as long as the prince doesn't come out, who would meddle in other people's affairs and think that there is a child inside?"

"This is too much!" Zhao Beiyi spat, "Aren't those people human?!"

He lowered his eyebrows and said, "I don't know if they are human beings or not. At least when I found the king, he was no longer a human being. He was shaking all the time, but he couldn't speak, and he couldn't even cry."

Zhao Beiyi couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Gui Wanglai. "However, Your Majesty can't use this as an excuse for him to do those wrong things! Since he knows that hatred will continue, he should change..." Thinking of something, Zhao Beiyi suddenly shut up, looked at him, not sure Said: "Because the king knows that if we don't kill the grass, maybe there will be an avenger like him, so he will do everything...?"

He nodded silently.

"Even so, Your Majesty..." Zhao Beiyi anxiously wanted to say something, but the words seemed to be tied in a knot, and he just couldn't speak.

"Your Majesty is an innocent and lovely child. How can you not change your temperament when you encounter such a thing?" Although his expression was calm, there was a touch of sadness in his eyes. Me, but he also didn't seem to trust anyone - including me, of course. No matter what I did, he couldn't trust me."

Zhao Beiyi clasped his hands behind his back. He knew that he couldn't understand what the king was thinking, and he didn't know why his good friend Zining was suffering. Finally, he reached out and took the wine pot, took a few big gulps, and used his sleeve She wiped her mouth and said, "Anyway, as long as you open your mouth, I will definitely help you!"

He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."

General Zining returned to the house where he was alone, and saw someone sitting at the door from afar. "Your Majesty..." He almost cried out, why did Your Majesty leave the palace alone again?He hurried over, "My lord, why are you here alone?" He tried not to make his volume too loud.

"Where have you been?" Gui Wang frowned and asked him, "You have been waiting here for so long?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. If you have something to do, wouldn't it be good to send someone to send an edict into the palace?" He smiled lightly, "Come on, go in and sit inside for a while, and then I will send you back to the palace."

"Hmph." Gui Wang straightened up a little angrily, his face turned serious, and asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Knowing that the king doesn't like Rou Niang, he doesn't want to mention his whereabouts.
