163 Disengagement
It's not that the emperor doesn't think highly of King Chen, but that King Chen has been weak since he was a child and rarely attends various events. After his talent suddenly appeared, he was declared by the previous generation of King Saiyan that he would not be able to live past the age of twenty.
Looking at his talent and appearance, his son was the best in the world. After suffering from illness for more than ten years, he had to bear the blow of not being able to live until he was twenty years old.
Even though the emperor is a man who is used to strong winds and waves, he cannot bear to put another heavy burden on a sickly body like King Chen.
Only when something could not be solved would people invite King Chen to the imperial study for discussion.
This is also the difference between Emperor Beichen and the emperors of other countries. After all, Emperor Beichen was not an emperor who grew up in an emperor's family and received the education of the emperor's mind.
Otherwise, the emperor who had many children would first think of the talented King Chen who was doomed to die young, so that he would maximize his life in the next few years.
King Chen handed over most of his body weight to the emperor, leaned against the emperor gently, smiled lightly, and his smile was as charming as a blooming mandala. He said lightly: "I am afraid that my father will not be able to be with my son today."
I have been playing chess and enjoying tea. Ahem, didn’t the person who invited my father tell me what happened here?”
"Oh? I just heard that Xing'er is in Liuhua Palace, so I came here to look for you!" The emperor's face did not change when he heard this, and he glanced at the four concubines lightly. He was in a high position and his eyes were calm and powerful.
It immediately gave people an absolute pressure.
Concubine Li's delicate body trembled slightly, and her beautiful face turned pale. She no longer smiled coquettishly, but lowered her head timidly, not daring to look directly into the emperor's eyes.
"In that case, Xing'er will tell me, what happened in Liuhua Palace today?" The emperor just glanced at Concubine Li, then ignored her, and turned around to face Prince Chen with a pleasant look.
said.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that some people may be unhappy that a frail and sickly person like Xing'er can be engaged to a fairy-like person like Yue'er, so they use that method to frame him.
Yue'er stole the jade pendant given to Concubine Hui by his father and wanted to use it to frame Yue'er." King Chen said in a calm tone. When he said these words, King Chen kept his head down, so no one could
See his expression clearly.
Just hearing King Chen numbly say that he is a frail and sickly man, the emperor's face suddenly changed and he said angrily: "Who dares to talk nonsense like this? My Xing'er is extremely talented and talented.
King Chen, who is both a genius in appearance and beauty, there is no woman in the world who is not worthy of you!"
After saying this, the emperor looked towards Murong Yue, his gaze as sharp as a blade, as if he wanted to cut Murong Yue's stunning face into pieces.
In her heart, she secretly wondered whether Murong Yue was ignorant of good and bad. After regaining her appearance and sanity, she became dissatisfied with the marriage and made Xing'er suffer.
If so, even if someone framed the theft of the imperial jade pendant today, he would prove the crime and let Murong Yue know that even if she is the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, she is not a member of the royal family.
It can be underestimated. Even if Xing'er is frail and sick and destined to die young, being able to marry her is Murong Yue's blessing!
Murong Yue met the emperor's sharp gaze, her eyes were unwavering, her temperament was noble and graceful, Pingting stood on the spot, the breeze blew the hem of her moonlit lotus pond, her hair danced lightly, as if she had fallen into the mortal world.
Gods cannot be blasphemed.
"Father, Yue'er is very good to Xing'er!" King Chen raised his head and looked at the emperor's angry face with innocent eyes. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "During this period, Xing'er's health... ahem,
When she was sick, it was Yue'er who took care of Xing'er. She didn't dislike Xing'er's dilapidated body at all. But maybe, what those people said was right.
Xing'er is already a dying person, why bother dragging down a woman like Yue'er who is like a human being? She is so good, ahem, but because of Xing'er, she has to be framed by the Annihilator. How does this hurt her?
It’s unfair. Father, I have the audacity to ask you for a decree to dissolve the marriage between I and Yue’er! Otherwise, I will wrong Yue’er in vain!”
When King Chen said these words, he couldn't stop coughing. His peerless face became paler and more transparent, like the clearest crystal in the world. The water in his bright star eyes overflowed, as if filled with the strongest sadness in the world.
, Not only that, the jade palm held by the emperor was also so cold that there was no trace of warmth.
The emperor looked at his most beloved son and felt the overwhelming sadness in him. That sadness seemed to be embedded in the bone marrow and dissolved into the blood. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get rid of this sadness from himself.
The son's body was stripped.
So what if he gave Bei Chenxing the most honorable title in the country with the character "Chen" as his title? So what if he gave Bei Chenxing the most comfortable life. In the end, his son was just a frail and sickly man who was destined to die young.
That’s it!
Even now, he is holding his son's hand tightly, but he cannot feel that he has grasped Bei Chenxing. Bei Chenxing is standing in front of him, but it seems that he will be blown away by the wind at any time.
He is the emperor! He owns a country and a high position that everyone in the world envies and longs for, but he cannot cure his son's illness and cannot save the fact that his son died young! Even after he was finally able to get his son to let go of the engagement, he still had to endure it.
The fact that his fiancée was framed because of him!
How could this not make him angry and heartbroken!
"Xing'er, don't be sad!" The emperor said coldly, with an irrepressible murderous intent in his tone, and a terrifying coercion permeating his body. "Yue'er treats you so wholeheartedly, how can you easily say to terminate the engagement?
What? Don’t say such childish words next time. If people hear it, they will think you dislike Yue’er. This is the real injustice done to Yue’er!”
After saying that, the emperor looked up at Murong Yue again and saw that she was standing dignified and generous. She did not lose her composure like other women when they heard that their engagement was to be annulled. Instead, she lowered her eyes slightly and had a gorgeous temperament. He felt even more satisfied in his heart.
extremely.
Who would have thought that this faceless fool who was famous in the capital would be so dignified now. Not to mention his unparalleled appearance, his calm, dignified and natural temperament is enough to match him.
An equally wonderful son!
"Yue'er, come here and tell me what happened. As long as I am here, I will never allow you to be wronged in the slightest. If I find out who is behind this, I will definitely give you an explanation.
." The emperor waved to Murong Yue cordially, and then walked into the Liuhua Palace of the Chen Dynasty on his arm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Murong Yue smiled slightly, indifferent to the envious looks from around her. She knew in her heart that the Emperor treated her so kindly not because of herself, but because of Bei Chenxing.
It seems that the emperor really loves Bei Chenxing very much, but I don't know why Bei Chenxing appears to be frail and sickly in front of the emperor.
There was some secret in this that she didn't know about.
A group of people returned to Liuhua Palace and took their seats one by one. The only difference this time was that the one sitting at the top was the emperor, and to his left and right were King Chen and Concubine De.
Concubine Hui, Concubine Shu and Concubine Li could only sit down below.
Murong Yue spoke clearly and explained everything that happened today to the emperor in detail, and then stood there with a calm expression, waiting for the emperor's reply.
"Concubine De, who do you think is responsible for this?" After the emperor heard that Xiao Min, the only palace maid who knew the truth, had died in the cold palace well, the emperor frowned and asked Concubine De beside him softly.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you, but I am ignorant, but I can't think of anyone who wants to harm Yue'er!" Concubine De also shook her head helplessly, and then after seeing Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu below, she paused and said
: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the person behind the scenes is probably not just trying to frame someone
Yue'er even had ulterior motives to turn everyone's attention to Sister Shufei. I wonder if this person also wants to provoke discord between Sister Shufei and Sister Huifei. Of course, this person
Yue'er is my concubine's niece, so naturally I should bear part of the responsibility..."
"What Concubine De said makes sense!" The emperor nodded slowly when he heard this, and then his enigmatic eyes fell on Concubine Li.
The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit!
There are currently only four concubines in the harem. If Concubine Hui, Concubine Shu and Concubine De are all at odds with each other because of the jade pendant, then it goes without saying that the person who will benefit is this Li.
Concubine!
However, although Concubine Li was unruly and arrogant, after three years of getting along with her, the emperor felt that she was not a scheming person. Therefore, the emperor would turn a blind eye to her sometimes unreasonable troubles, as long as they were not making trouble.
If it goes too far, just let it go.
Could it be that her unruly and arrogant behavior over the years was just a disguise?
"Concubine Li, can you tell me what you were doing when the incident happened?" The emperor asked in a deep voice. Now everything is just speculation and there is no substantial evidence. The emperor did not want to break Concubine Li's heart, so he said so
There is nothing unkind.
However, this obviously ulterior question made Concubine Li's face change, her eyes widened, she looked at the emperor in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you, are you doubting me?
Concubine? Why did I do this? I have no reason to frame Princess Xingyue?"
Hearing Concubine Li's ignorant question, the emperor frowned, and before he was about to say something, he heard Concubine De's faint voice: "Sister Concubine Li seems to have forgotten that I just arrived at Liuhua Palace.
