Chapter 1,275, Dead and in Chaos

"If something happens to my second brother, just go and tell your father. Why say such words? It won't cause trouble." Chu Liuyue looked at Chu Liuzhou disapprovingly and said.

"Of course I have to tell my father. When the time comes..." Chu Liuzhou said proudly, consciously having the upper hand.

Chu Liuyue interrupted him rudely, "Second brother, please do as you please."

After saying that, he ignored him and sat down to rest with his eyes closed.

Chu Liuzhou was so angry that he had a toothache, and wanted to provoke Chu Liuyue again, but saw several courtiers looking over. He knew that saying anything at this time would make him feel inferior. Anyway, he would wait for his father to come and deal with Chu Liuyue later. that is.

The waiting time in the court room was quite long, probably because the two princes had quarreled before, and no one else spoke at this time, so the atmosphere in the court room was very quiet.

Chu Qing was also sitting there, secretly looking at Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou. His heart was not very peaceful, and his head hurt. The rumors outside had been spreading fiercely recently, and his life was also very difficult. Although there was no clear message from the emperor, She had asked him before, but that didn't mean she wouldn't ask. Thinking of what her mother and concubine had said before, Chu Qing felt very worried.

Finally, the emperor summoned these ministers and princes to go to the imperial study.

The emperor's face looked very bad, with a faint bluish white color, and his energy was also very low. He looked at them feebly and asked the eunuch to give them a seat.

"Father, something happened in the son's palace last night. A concubine had an affair with the eldest brother, and asked the concubine's brother to send news to the eldest brother." Chu Liuzhou took a step forward and knelt down.

Several courtiers who said this looked at each other. This meant cuckolding the King of Zhou, and it was the eldest brother, King Yue, who put it on the King of Zhou. Of course, it was not just a matter of cuckolding. It was a royal matter. How could it be done? After such a simple explanation, some people turned their attention to Zhang Xiang. The princess of King Yue was Zhang Xiang's daughter.

Zhang Xiang sat expressionless, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and listened quietly.

"King Yue, is this possible?" the emperor asked.

Chu Liuyue stepped forward and knelt down: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with my son. I was at my house last night and didn't see anyone. I don't know who my second brother's concubine is." Bit."

His expression was calm and unhurried, and he looked very convincing.

"You're talking nonsense. You and Qi Rongghi have been in secret for a long time. You asked Qi Rongghi to marry into Prince Zhou's palace, but you didn't have any good intentions. Qi Tianyu secretly met with Qi Rongghi at night, hoping that Qi Rongghi would report the recent news to the police. You." Chu Liuzhou said bitterly, "Brother, why did you send your woman to Prince Zhou's Mansion? What grudge do I have with you to make you keep an eye on my Prince's Mansion so closely?"

What kind of feud is, of course, over the fight for the throne, no one present can understand.

After hearing what Chu Liuzhou said angrily, everyone looked at Chu Liuyue.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Aren't all your concubines given by your father? The previous affairs of Princess Yuan'an have nothing to do with me? And even if your concubines have some problems, , you can’t blame the matter on me?”

Chu Liuyue didn't panic at all after being exposed. She just looked confused. She looked at Chu Liuzhou and then at the silent emperor above. Chu Liuyue suddenly realized: "Second brother, you can't really Do you think this matter has something to do with me? Since there is something wrong with your concubine, then you should investigate it carefully. If you can’t find it out at the moment, you can ask your father to investigate it. "

His attitude was very calm and calm.

Chu Liuzhou was choked and his eyes widened with anger. It sounded like the incident caused by Princess Yuanan had nothing to do with Chu Liuyue. The person chosen at that time was also the emperor's intention, just to stir up trouble. Princess Yuan'an is unwell.

The emperor looked at Chu Liuzhou silently, with a somewhat displeased look on his face. Could it be that Chu Liuzhou, whom Yuan An had chosen, wanted to do something else? Criticize the concubines and concubines he gave to you?

"Brother, it wasn't the Queen Father who gave it to me, it was the concubine who gave it to me during the previous draft." Chu Liuzhou said angrily.

"Then it has nothing to do with me. It was given by the Queen." Chu Liuyue shook her head, "I really don't know anything."

Chu Liuzhou choked again. It was really Qi Rongzhi given by the Queen. At that time, he told Chu Liuzhou that Qi Tianyu was a smart man and could help Chu Liuzhou in the future. He also said that Qi Rongzhi's background seemed weak, but in fact he was The best candidate for a concubine, his princess can be sure to take care of her in the future. Although she is inconspicuous now, when her two brothers get up in the future, they will be a big help with their literary and military skills.

"Second brother, there's that Qi Tianyu. He's my father's man. You won't arrest him just because you want to, right?" Chu Liuyue lectured Chu Liuzhou like a brother, without giving him a chance to speak. "My father's people are the officials in the court. Even if something happens, you have to report it to my father and let him deal with it!"

Chu Liuzhou originally wanted to suddenly attack and catch Chu Liuyue off guard, but he didn't expect that he would be overturned by Chu Liuyue. Seeing Chu Liuyue talking eloquently, he was so embarrassed that he raised his hand and gave him He punched Chu Liuyue and said, "You are still justified in having an affair with my king's concubine. Chu Liuyue, you are so shameless that you even dare to steal from your sister-in-law."

"Presumptuous!" the emperor said sternly.

"Father, he really has something to do with that bitch Qi Ronzhi. That bitch admitted it himself." Chu Liuzhou felt aggrieved.

"Second brother, your concubine actually has a problem. You must ask her carefully. At this time, in order to protect the real person behind the scenes, he may deliberately frame me and destroy our brotherhood." Chu Liuyue advised with "sincerity" , not angry because he had been punched by Chu Liuyi just now.

In terms of magnanimity, he was more than a step ahead of Chu Liuzhou.

"Other than you, who else would plot against me?" Chu Liuzhou was furious and roared. The veins on his forehead bulged out from anger, and he was extremely angry.

"Why is there no one?" Chu Liuyue's eyes swept around, and finally landed on Chu Qing, who was huddled aside for fear of others discovering him. "There has been a group of people in the capital who have been active recently. They are secretly moving and deliberately letting people find out. It is also normal to blame the matter on our brothers, deliberately attracting people to watch our brothers' good show."

The most talked about thing in the capital recently is Chu Qing’s identity. He may have the blood of the previous dynasty’s family. Does that mean Chu Qing also has the blood of the previous royal family? If we think more deeply, does Chu Qing still have the blood of the previous emperor? Not necessarily anymore.

Several ministers looked at Chu Qing with a little more suspicion.

This means that maybe someone from Chu Qing was stirring up trouble behind the scenes, intentionally confusing...

Chu Liuzhou pursed his lips. He followed Chu Liuyue's gaze and looked at Chu Qing gloomily. He also had some hesitation in his heart. Could it be that Qi Rongzhi and Qi Tianyu were really not Chu Liuyue's people but Chu Qing's?

"Second brother, think about it, I just stayed at home and didn't do anything. I'm the concubine in your house."

They all accuse me of something, and you will definitely get angry when you hear it, and come to Father. No matter which one of us Father reprimands, or both of us are reprimanded at the same time, you may fall into someone else's trick and make the real trouble come to light. Let the person go. "

Chu Liuyue analyzed, her eyes still falling on Chu Qing.

Chu Liuzhou pursed his lips tightly, feeling inexplicably justified. He looked at Chu Qing and then at Chu Liuyue: "Father, please be clear, no matter who did this to harm my son." , this person must have evil thoughts, and he has already planned it. The concubine of my son is indeed left behind by my mother during the talent show."

The Queen is the biological mother of King Zhou. Of course, it is impossible to plot against King Zhou. That means someone has plotted against the Queen. There must be another agenda for sending a person like Qi Rongzhi into Prince Zhou's palace.

"Where are the people?" The emperor finally spoke.

"Still in Erchen's house, Qi Tianyu and Erchen didn't move. He only scared Qi Rongzhi." Chu Liuzhou said with a gloomy face.

"Second brother, you didn't bring me here? Since you already have a concubine in your mansion who is someone else's spy, how can you keep her in your mansion and not deliver her to your father?" Chu Liuyue was surprised. road.

Chu Liu was stunned on Monday, his face changed, and he said anxiously: "Father, please send someone to take them away quickly. I want my father to find out about this matter."

The words he said were the same as those of Chu Liuyue before, indicating that he was selfless and not afraid of investigation.

The emperor waved his hand, and some guards hurriedly went to Prince Zhou's mansion to pick up someone. This matter involved the two princes, so it was no small matter.

Chu Liuchen also entered the Imperial Study Room at this time. Although his health had improved, he had always been said to be in poor health before. Normally, he could come or go to court at will. However, it was not necessary to come to the Emperor's Imperial Study Room at this time. It was the last one. After entering the door, he looked at his two brothers kneeling there and sat down in the emperor's seat without saying anything else.

Lying on the back of a large chair, he glanced at the two people casually, lazily listening to several ministers and prime ministers reporting daily affairs to the emperor, and then glanced at Chu Qing, who had an ugly face, and his slender eyes His eyes slowly closed, and he closed his eyes to rest.

The guards came quickly, but the Qi Rongzhi they brought back had already died.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qi is dead!" The guard came in to report.

Chu Liuzhou suddenly sat up straight, "How could she die? I was still alive when I left. Who poisoned her? Father, you see, as soon as something happened to my son, this woman lost her life. This time It’s this woman, will it be my turn next time? Father, please make the decision for me!”

Chu Liuzhou was not just arrogant. He felt aggrieved and his eyes were red.

"How did he die?" The emperor glanced at his son and asked in a deep voice.

"She hanged herself. I heard from the servants in the mansion that Concubine Qi lost her voice after being imprisoned. I thought she had fainted, but she couldn't think about it for a moment, so she took off her belt and hung it on the beam. ." the guard said.

Chu Liuzhou stared at the guard: "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do anything to her! How could she hang herself?"

It was just a few moves. He originally wanted to keep this woman to confront Chu Liuyue, but there was no way he could really kill her.

The guard glanced at him and reported fairly: "He did hang himself to death. There are many traces of injuries on his body, as if he had been beaten."
