Chapter 490: The Vase of Cannon Fodder in the Machiavellian Story (3)
At this time, there were more and more footsteps outside the door. Jiang Lai put on his clothes and shoes, fixed his bun, and looked at the window of the dormitory.
"Your Highness, I'll leave first."
Chu Yunci remained silent, watching Jiang Lai jump out of the window while holding up his skirt and dragging his slightly fat body.
That movement was a bit agile.
Just as Jiang Lai left, there was a knock on the door. Without waiting for Chu Yunci to answer, the door was knocked open from the outside. The leader, the third prince Chu Yunxiao, rushed in while shouting.
"Second brother, second brother, did something happen to you? Second brother, are you okay..."
After seeing Chu Yunci, who was neatly dressed and had a calm face, Chu Yunxiao's expression changed. He subconsciously looked around the dormitory and found that there was no flaw at all.
The bed was neat and clean, and Chu Yunci had a blanket on his legs and was reading quietly under the lamp.
He wasn't too surprised when someone came, he just looked up at the other person coldly.
"Third brother, could it be that you are bullying your second brother that I am a cripple, so you dare to barge in without restraint on my birthday?"
Chu Yunxiao was so frightened by this sentence that he denied it repeatedly.
"No, I, I saw that my second brother didn't answer the door for a long time. I was worried that my second brother was not feeling well, so I burst in through the door in a hurry. Second brother, don't think too much."
"Since you are worried about me, why don't you find an imperial doctor, but you only bring a group of...useless people?"
Behind Chu Yunxiao, the sons of several ministers looked ugly.
"Since my second brother is fine, why don't you go out and have a drink with everyone? My father hasn't returned to the palace yet. How can you, as the birthday boy, leave early?"
"I just drank too much and was a little sleepy. Now my sleepiness has subsided. Please help third brother push the wheelchair over."
A noble prince of his own was assigned to do such a thing, but he had just barged in without catching anything, and allowed Chu Yunci to take advantage of the opportunity.
Helpless, he pushed Chu Yunci in a wheelchair to Luanyun Hall and sat down.
The emperor liked his second son very much, so he took the initiative to ask when he saw that he had just left for a while.
"But you feel unwell?"
Chu Yunci said calmly.
"My son is in good health. Thank you very much for your concern, Father."
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Chu Yunxuan, who was drinking wine leisurely and contentedly, with a calm look on his face, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Jiang Lai also sat down, his face still flushed, it seemed that the effect of the medicine had not worn off.
As a lazy and greedy fat man, Jiang Lai adhered to his character and insisted on eating with poison. He didn't care about Chu Yunxuan's disgusted and disgusted eyes and focused on filling his stomach.
At this time, Concubine Duan beside the emperor suddenly asked.
"Xuan'er is not young anymore. Why don't you hurry up and give your Majesty some more grandchildren?"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Lai again.
"Eighth Princess, you are plump and plump. You look like you are fertile. Why is there no movement in your stomach?"
Concubine Duan, Chu Yunci's biological mother, was a femme fatale in the plot. She disowned her relatives for the sake of power, and even her biological son Chu Yunci was just a pawn in her hands.
He is also one of the villains of this article.
Being able to raise a son with a dark mind like Chu Yunci shows how difficult his mother is to be trifled with.
Jiang Lai knew that he was being used as a pawn against Chu Yunxuan again.
The emperor looked over. Jiang Lai silently put down the chicken drumstick in his hand, stood up slowly, and looked at Concubine Duan timidly.
"His Royal Highness is worried about the affairs of the government all day long, and works hard to solve His Majesty's worries, but cannot spare the energy to study the issue of heirs.
As a royal concubine, I naturally have to put the overall situation first and must not delay His Highness. ”
After saying this, Chu Yunxuan on the side couldn't calm down for an instant. Feeling the emperor's deep gaze, he stood up quickly.
"Father, your Majesty, Jiang Lai doesn't understand what is going on outside the house and his words are wrong. I am also very anxious about the heir, but this matter is not something that has to be done in a hurry. I hope that your Majesty will not embarrass me."
After speaking, he silently glanced sideways and gave Jiang Lai a cold glance, threatening her to stop talking nonsense.
Jiang Lai visibly shivered and trembled, looking very frightened, and quickly lowered his head and said.
"Yes, everything His Highness said is right. My wife is at fault. She is useless. She did not give birth to an heir for His Highness as soon as possible. Her Highness was in the prime of life but the heirs in the palace were sluggish. I will definitely work harder in the future so as not to worry the Queen."
Chu Yunxuan's eyes almost burst into flames.
I wish I could just block Jiang Lai's mouth that was getting darker and darker!
When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but whisper.
The eighth prince is in his prime, and there are many women in the backyard but he still has no children. What does this mean?
This means that the problem is not with the ground, but with the seeds!
If this is really the case, Chu Yunxuan will definitely have no chance of being crowned emperor in this life. Who can support a sterile emperor to rule the country?
The old emperor's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction. He waved his hand and frowned.
"Old man, you should really hold on tight. All the brothers after you have children, but you are the only one!"
Chu Yunxuan gritted his teeth to hold back his anger and said calmly.
"I know this, and I will not disappoint my father and mother-in-law."
After sitting down, Jiang Lai felt that he was about to be penetrated by Chu Yunxuan's angry eyes.
Fortunately, she had a big heart and continued to pretend to be timid and cautious, eating the chicken drumsticks and elbows in front of her sadly.
Well, the chef in Chu Yunci's palace is really good at cooking, so I have to grab him if I get the chance.
After the banquet was over, they headed back home. As soon as they got on the carriage, Chu Yunxuan grabbed Jiang Lai's arm and gritted his teeth.
"Who asked you to say this in front of His Majesty today!"
Jiang Lai pretended to be frightened, his eyes turned red, and he said with a look of grievance and horror.
"Your Highness, do you think what I said is wrong? Can't I change it?"
"Jiang Lai, do you still want to stay in the palace?"
Here it is again.
As long as Jiang Lai disobeys, Chu Yunxuan will threaten her with this.
As a male protagonist, he is good at grasping the hearts and minds of the weak, using a sweet date and a stick, first threatening and then comforting.
Seeing that Jiang Lai was scared, he softened his expression and said.
"I told you before I married you that I have no romantic feelings for you. What's wrong? Now you blame me again?"
"I know, I did it voluntarily."
"You are a good girl, sensible and obedient. With you in the backyard, I can fight in the court with peace of mind, but your performance today really disappointed me.
Jiang Lai, how can I trust you to leave the affairs of the backyard to you? ”
Having said that, Chu Yunxuan took advantage of Jiang Lai's soft temper, and she agreed to everything after showing a little disappointment to her.
But today is different.
Jiang Lai had been drowsy since he got on the carriage. After Chu Yunxuan talked, the other party started nodding and dozing off like a chicken pecking at rice!
What is the difference between sleeping after eating and livestock!
"Jiang Lai!"
"Well, Your Highness, you are right. Well, yes, I am listening."
"..."
The feeling of a punch hitting cotton made Chu Yunxuan want to crush the woman in front of him to death. (End of chapter)
