Empress Chu

"I understand the good and evil in the world, the truth, but Ah Yu was born at such a time, and I met Ah Yu in such a situation." He said, "Time is also fate."

Fate, Chu Zhao sighed lightly: "Then it is fate for me to meet the third young master."

It was Xiao Xun and Deng Yi's fate to meet Xie Yanfang in that life, and it was her fate to meet Xiao Xun. In this life, she changed Xiao Xun's fate, so she could only face Xie Yanfang by herself.

Hearing this sentence, Xie Yanfang smiled.

"I know that although I have repeatedly said that I did this for you, the pain caused by these things is borne by Miss Azhao." He paused here and shook his head, "And I can't say it's for you, This is just my business, these things, even if I explain the truth to Ms. Azhao and analyze the pros and cons, Ms. Azhao will never do this."

Chu Zhao looked at him and laughed: "The third son knows everything, understands everything."

"It's up to me to say everything, right?" Xie Yanfang answered with a smile.

Chu Zhao didn't speak.

Xie Yanfang said: "Speaking so much, I am not defending myself, and I don't need to defend myself."

He looked at Chu Zhao.

"I just hope to clear up a puzzle for Miss Azhao. You and Ayu are the emperor and queen I want to protect. There is no doubt about that."

Chu Zhao fixed his gaze on him, as if he wanted to see through his flesh and blood, and said, "I believe it."

After finishing speaking, he drank up the tea that Xie Yanfang handed over just now, and poured another two cups of tea.

"Thank you, sir, for using it," she said.

Xie Yanfang reached out to pick up the teacup, looked at Yingying's tea, and said, "But the queen still wants to give me a cup of poisoned tea."

Chapter 90 persuasion

Poison tea.

Hearing these words, Chu Zhao picked up his teacup and took a sip gently.

"Third Young Master doesn't believe me?" She laughed.

Xie Yanfang also laughed.

"It's not a matter of believing it or not. Even if it's a father-son couple, in this case, you have to be a little bit on guard." He looked at the teapot and said, "The tea in the same teapot may not necessarily be the same."

Chu Zhao drank the tea slowly, looked at the teapot, and said to himself, "I didn't know that at the time."

In that life, she and Xiao Xun shared food and lodging, she never thought about being on guard against Xiao Xun until she drank the poisonous tea poured by him again and again, became weak and lost her child, until the last cup of poisonous wine was sent on the road .

She also didn't expect that she would find this kind of thing from the palace in this life and use it for others.

"It's not poison." She said, looking at Xie Yanfang, "it's a kind of medicine that makes people sleep temporarily."

Xie Yanfang said, "So it's this."

Standing behind Chu Zhao, Xiaoman felt her palms were sweating, but she felt a little dazed. Ever since Xie Yanfang said that she was going to kill Zhong Changrong, she was ready to attack, but until now the two pointed out that you are I poisoned my tea, and the other explained what kind of poison it was, and the atmosphere was still so peaceful——

Fighting in the capital is indeed different from that on the battlefield.

Xiaoman felt that this place was even more terrifying.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to do this. Tell me directly what you want." Xie Yanfang said frankly.

Chu Zhao also said frankly: "I asked you before, for the stability of the court, is it necessary for the relatives not to be officials, and you answered yes."

Xie Yanfang nodded: "Of course, not only will I not be an official, but I can also guarantee that no one in the Xie family will be an official."

Chu Zhao looked at him for a moment, then shook his head: "I now know that Mrs. Xie doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter whether you are an official or not. The most important person is you, so I hope you disappear."

disappear?Xie Yanfang asked with great interest, "How did it disappear?"

"I will not let you go freely, nor will I let you be an official in the court." Chu Zhao also said frankly, "I will lock you up and isolate you from the world."

Xie Yanfang looked at her and said with a smile: "Is it isolated from the world?" Then said, "The best way to make a person disappear is to kill him."

Chu Zhao shook his head: "Third Young Master, I will not kill you, I will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, I will be ungrateful, you are very kind to me and Ayu, but you are too dangerous, I can't let you influence Daxia's affairs and people again So, I'm going to lock you up, at least you can't show up again until Ah Yu becomes a real emperor."

Xie Yanfang said: "I think I have made it clear just now, I will not endanger you and Ah Yu—"

"No, you will." Chu Zhao interrupted him, "Third Young Master, your greatest danger is to turn me and Ayu into what you want."

Xie Yanfang looked at her, silent for a moment.

"What you do is for the emperor and empress you want, not for me and Ayu." Chu Zhao said, "Ayu and I only want to be ourselves, and we can only be ourselves."

Xie Yanfang said: "I didn't tell you not to be yourself, it's just that there are some things that are inconvenient for you to do by yourself, so I do it."

Chu Zhao shook his head: "As long as it is our own business, there is no inconvenience, and we don't need others to do it for us, and no one can do it for us."

Xie Yanfang was silent.

His silence caused a stagnation here, and Xiaoman felt that his breathing had stopped.

"it is good."

While suffocating, Xie Yanfang nodded and said.

"I am willing to make way for the queen."

Chu Zhao looked at him and said, "Thank you, Third Young Master."

Xie Yanfang looked at the teacup in her hand again, and asked with a sudden smile, "Then do I still need to drink this tea?"

Chu Zhao also laughed, and said, "No need, everything has been said."

"What if I didn't find out that I drank it before?" Xie Yanfang asked again with a smile, "The empress doesn't need to waste my time talking."

If it was said by others, these words would be questioning and ridicule, but Xie Yanfang's words would only make people feel like ridicule.

"After drinking, I will wait for the third son to wake up before saying these words." Chu Zhao said seriously without any embarrassment, "It's just that the order is different."

Xie Yanfang smiled and put down the teacup.

……

……

"What is she going to do?"

Hearing Xie Yanfang's words, Du Qi who was waiting in the tent glared.

"Want to arrest you, son?"

Xie Yanfang corrected: "Shut it up."

The young master was still in the mood to joke, but Du Qi said with a serious face, "I knew she was hiding something. Cai Bo said that since she dared to investigate the Wei family, she wanted to do something to the young master." Then he sneered, "I'd like to see Let's see how she arrests the young master."

"The entire hunting ground is surrounded by layers of soldiers and horses." Xie Yanfang said, "The inner palace guards are on the first floor, the guards are on the first floor, and the outermost is the Beijing camp soldiers and horses. I was escorted back. At this moment, our camp has been locked up. Surrounded so tightly that no one can approach."

Du Qi said lightly: "So what?"

"I know it's not good." Xie Yanfang said, waving her hands, "Don't worry, she is angry now, and she is wary of me, so let her do whatever she wants."

Du Qi said: "Young Master, what do you mean she can do whatever she wants? She has murderous intentions towards us. This is crossing the river, tearing down bridges, dismantling mills and killing donkeys."

Xie Yanfang said: "Of course the queen can kill anyone. I have been waiting for her to find me, and I have been wondering what she will do." He nodded at this point, "Not bad, not bad, you did a good job."

Du Qi shrugged at the side: "My lord, you are still praising her. Could it be that she was happy to kill you?" He couldn't help muttering, "If Cai Bo was here, he would definitely be nagging again."

But there is no rush, Cai Bo will know right away.

After hearing what he said, Xie Yanfang didn't laugh anymore, but was thoughtful: "It's still not like me."

If it was him, tea would not poison people to death, but would poison them to death, and it would not imprison the living, but only bury the dead.

"Queen, you really don't want to kill me."

But this is also like him, because he is also reluctant to kill her.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing.

They really are the same.

……

……

"Is this what you mean by persuasion?"

In the queen's camp, Xiaoman pulled Chu Zhao uncharacteristically, and asked with an angry expression.

"First he poisoned him, and then directly said that he was going to lock him up."

Is this kind of thing convincing?

Have you ever thought about how she felt when she was there?

Chu Zhao smiled and said, "It's persuasion. Look, isn't this persuasion?"

Xiaoman stared at her.

"Mr. Xie is a smart man, so you have to be straightforward when talking to him." Chu Zhao said softly while holding her hand.

Xiaoman questioned: "He is so smart and powerful, so he can be persuaded by you and locked up obediently?"

Chu Zhaodao: "He was not persuaded by me, he was persuaded by himself. He is too smart and confident. The only one who can convince him is himself. In fact, he doesn't take me seriously at all."

Not quite understanding, Xiaoman couldn't help rubbing his forehead: "Then what should we do next? If he doesn't want to be locked up, he can go back on his word at any time."

Chu Zhao looked at the twilight that was gradually falling, and said, "I want to prevent him from regretting before he regrets it."

……

……

In the capital at dusk, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed in, and the city gate was closed. Fortunately, the soldiers and horses galloped on the street announcing "capture the Xiliang spies, and the idlers stay away", which relieved the tension of the people a little.

Capture the Xiliang spies, the people can't help but talk, who are the Xiliang spies?

The soldiers and horses scattered in the city and gathered in two houses.

The lights in Xie's inner house had just been lit up, and they were shining brightly, but at this time, the people inside did not sing and dance, but looked shocked.

"Xiliang spies? Our Xie family?" Xie Qiye stood under the eaves, and after being astonished, he laughed, "The queen's reason is too perfunctory, we are relatives, the emperor's only relatives, even if you use a corrupt The charges are more convincing to the public."

At the same time, in Liang's house, apart from being shocked, he was in panic. This was the second time Liang had experienced it. How could it appear again so soon?People in the family were running around and shouting, "What's going on?" "How could we be spies?" "Our Liang family has made a contribution." "This is the Queen's private revenge."

In the panic, Liang Qiang looked calm, but his lowered hands were clenched together.

So, even though he didn't say it, the queen actually knew about it.

Can the queen win this time?

Chapter 91 Nightfall

The capital is noisy at night, but the hunting grounds are not bustling during the day.

This time the emperor and empress did not invite officials and family members for the summer vacation, so there was no banquet at night. In the bright bonfire, only Chu Zhao and Xiao Yu sat together to eat.

The staple food tonight was Xiao Yu's prey, which was carefully prepared by the imperial chef, but the empress was not focused on eating or drinking.

Chu Zhao told Xiao Yu about Xie Yanfang and the decision she made.

The fire light jumped on Xiao Yu's face, his expression flickered on and off.

"I didn't expect the third uncle to do this." He said, shaking his head again, "But it's not surprising that the third uncle does anything. I knew from a young age that he is very smart and powerful. My mother said that he can do everything he wants .”

"He has no disobedience to His Majesty, and wholeheartedly supports you to be emperor." Chu Zhao said, "But, Ah Yu, you are required to be the emperor yourself, and you cannot become someone else's emperor."

Xiao Yu nodded: "I listen to my sister." After saying that, he realized that sister Chu just said that he didn't want him to be someone else's emperor, and my sister is also someone else. Come on, I'll be myself."

Chu Zhao laughed, stretched out his hand to caress Xiao Yu's shoulder, if you say he is smart, this kid is also very smart.

"You will be in charge soon. Although you are young, and although the late emperor and the crown prince are absent, no one will guide you, you have experienced life and death sufferings, and these experiences will guide you, and you will learn how to be an emperor," Chu Zhao said. "No, you can learn. As long as you learn and don't give up when you fail, there is nothing you can't learn. Ah Yu, the emperor will spend his whole life learning, so don't be afraid and don't be in a hurry."

Xiao Yu smiled and nodded: "Sister, don't worry, I'm not afraid." He hugged Chu Zhao's arm, "With my sister here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Chu Zhao withdrew his arm, told him to sit upright, and said, "You don't have to be afraid if your sister is not here. You have to remember that you can be an emperor if you leave anyone."

Xiao Yu snorted, sat up straight as he said, saw the plate in front of him, and cut off a piece of meat with great interest: "Sister, hurry up and taste it, this is the venison I beat with my own hands."

He carefully put the meat on Chu Zhao's plate, looked up at Chu Zhao, and regained consciousness, the topic changed too quickly.

"Sister." He asked awkwardly, "It won't taste good when it's cold."

For such a big matter, he only thought about whether the meat was cold or not?Chu Zhao was annoyed and funny, and said, "I not only want to lock up Xie Yanfang, but also convict Mrs. Xie."

If you are convicted, you can justifiably cut down the big tree of Xie family.
