Chapter 1177 Punishment
The emperor was in a good mood after his captivity was broken, but when he thought of the Chu family's father and son being assassinated at the same time, his face darkened again.
The emperor asked the second prince, "Has the murderer been found out?"
It turned out that the emperor received the news on the night that the Chu family and his son were assassinated, and immediately sent people from Jin Linwei to investigate secretly.
However, the people on the other side were too cunning. After three or four days of investigation, Jin Linwei's people only caught a few dead soldiers. Before they could be interrogated, they bit the poisonous naan in their teeth and died.
All the work was in vain.
When the matter was brought up, the Second Prince's expression was not good-looking. He slapped Gao Ji angrily and said, "Those people are simply going to change the world. You were only sick for a few days, but they dared to make trouble on Tai Sui's head. It's so lawless."
Who are Chu Xuanyu and Chu Jingqi? They are the great heroes of the Dasheng Kingdom, the most famous people in front of the emperor, and the great heroes in the hearts of the people of the Dasheng Kingdom. The people can now live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing. This belongs to the Chu family and his son. credit.
Although he had gone to fight outside the customs and made a lot of efforts and lost a lot of soldiers and horses, it has to be said in all fairness that the Chu family's father and son made more contributions than he did.
And such a pair of great generals who were kind to the Sheng Kingdom and had great military exploits were besieged in broad daylight. These people did not take the emperor or the second prince seriously. .
The emperor sneered and raised his lips sarcastically, "Haha, maybe secretly, they are all looking forward to my early death so that they can support their favorite prince to ascend to power."
In the past two months, he was dying of illness and had not appeared in front of his ministers even once. The outside world may have spread that he was dying of illness.
As long as he dies and has no legitimate son, his several concubines will become the candidates to inherit the throne. At this time, as long as the ambitious ministers will place their bets again, the chessboard will be completely changed.
Everyone would want a share of the merit from the dragon, but such merit was hard to come by, and when they encountered it, they would naturally put all their efforts into it.
However, for the sake of ambition, they dared to send people to assassinate the Chu family father and son who were benevolent to everyone in Dasheng Kingdom. Then these people deserve to die regardless of their purpose.
"Hmph, they are a bunch of weaklings who can only play tricks in secret." The second prince sneered disdainfully, "If you have the ability, come and fight with me with both sword and gun. I promise to send them all to see their ancestors. .”
This feeling of knowing that someone is trying to kill you but not knowing who the other person is is really uncomfortable. The Second Prince truly sympathizes with Chu Xuanyu and his son, but is also very angry with the person who did it behind his back.
"Send two hundred more Jin Lin Guards to investigate this matter thoroughly." The emperor decreed slyly, "I want to see who dares to be so bold as to take away the lives of Aqi and the county prince. .”
As for Chu Jingqi's escape to the Rong family, the emperor only found out about it when Rong San secretly sent a letter to the emperor three days after Chu Jingqi disappeared.
Knowing that Chu Jingqi and his wife were both safe, the emperor's heart dropped after he had been worried for three days. Then, the second prince called Rong San to him and scolded her severely, saying that he had known about Chu Jingqi. The couple's whereabouts were not told to the emperor for a long time, and the emperor had to worry uneasily for three days before telling them. The second prince punished them by being left shirtless for three winter days and walked around the palace ten times before giving up.
Rong San saved Chu Jingqi and his wife, but the second prince not only did not reward him, but also punished him. This was because during those three days, the emperor was worried about the whereabouts of Chu Jingqi and his wife, which affected his mood. During the onset of the disease, he went into shock several times. . At that time, the guards in the small dark room thought that the emperor was dead, so they were so frightened that they opened the door and called Bai Shen to heal the second prince. That time, Chu Xiang almost had fetal force.
Therefore, the second prince was very angry with Rong San. Although he saved Chu Jingqi and Chu Yu, he did not report the news immediately.
Rong San had been running shirtless all day in the snow, and his whole body was so cold that he almost turned into popsicle sticks. When he got home, he went to Chu Jingqi to vent his anger.
He didn't want to take it out on Xia Zihan, so he took it out on Chu Jingqi.
"I saved you, it's just that there was no benefit, and I was punished. You... you are simply my bane. Every time I encounter you, I don't do well." Rong San angrily looked at Chu Jingqi's wooden frame. Stomping around the couch, "Chu Jing Qi, let me tell you, when you go out, you have to go to the emperor and say a few good words for me, and you have to let the emperor praise me no matter what, otherwise, I will never finish with you."
He actually asked him to go to the emperor to speak for him?
Isn't this Rong San stupid?
Chu Jingqi looked at him coldly with disdain, raising her lips slightly, thinking, such a weirdo wants to snatch Ayu from him, guess... Ayu is pure, gentle and virtuous. Even if she is reincarnated, she will not stop falling in love with such a weirdo. .
"You...what's that look in your eyes?" Rong San saw that Chu Jingqi dared to despise him. It was really unreasonable. "You wait."
Rong San pointed at him and left in a hurry.
The meals Rong San brought in in the evening had no soup or meat. They were all stir-fried vegetables, oily lettuce, cumin cabbage, steamed lotus root, stir-fried mushrooms, spinach and tofu soup... four dishes and one soup, all It is vegetarian and has no fishy taste at all. For Chu Jingqi, a carnivore, this is simply tasteless food and can't even take a single bite.
Xia Zihan liked it very much and ate with gusto. She drank two bowls of soup and a bowl of rice, and she also ate more than half of the food.
Chu Jingqi said with resentful eyes, "Ayu, my husband is not a rabbit or a sheep, so I can't just eat some vegetarian dishes. When Rong San comes in, tell him how about preparing three kilograms of braised beef?"
"Didn't you just eat four kilograms of braised beef for lunch?" Eat more light food, a combination of meat and vegetables, just right. If you eat all meat for lunch, eat all vegetarian food this evening.”
As he said that, Xia Zihan kindly picked up a few chopsticks and put them in his bowl, urging him to eat quickly, "If you don't eat, I will eat them all, and you will have nothing to eat."
This is a dark room, not Yuqiongyuan. If they are hungry at night, the maids will prepare food for them. Here, they have to endure being hungry at night.
Chu Jingqi's eyes became even more resentful, "Ayu, you actually protect Rong San and don't help your husband?"
"It doesn't matter whether I protect you or not, I'm only thinking about you." Xia Zihan angrily picked up a chopstick and brought it directly to Chu Jingqi's mouth.
Even if Chu Jingqi doesn't like it, she still has to open her mouth to eat it. Besides, the Rong family's cook is very good at cooking. Although these dishes are all vegetarian, they taste really good. This is something Xia Zihan often eats. reason.
