Chapter 138 The tree is like this

In Jinxiang Palace, a large number of people walked through the long corridor and after turning a few palaces, they finally came outside the Fushou Hall.

The Palace of Fushou is not big. The place where this palace is located is surrounded by tall osmanthus trees. Every summer, it is covered by thick shade, which is very cool. However, when it is late autumn, the fragrance of osmanthus is everywhere, which makes people intoxicated by smelling it.

During his lifetime, King Chulie of Zhao, when he was free, he liked to stay in this hall and enjoy a rare tranquility alone. Now that he passed away, his coffin was temporarily parked here and was guarded by his closest people before being buried.

It is only early summer, and the weather is still very cool. In previous years, the thick shade of trees has not yet grown. Moreover, I don’t know why, the largest osmanthus tree in the courtyard in front of the hall gate was slashed in half due to the bombardment of thunder a few days ago due to the heavy rain, and even the trunk was burned. At this time, it looked bare, with a few white banners floating around, which made it look desolate.

The tree is still like this, how can people bear it? It is said that this old osmanthus tree that King Zhao often sat under the canopy to enjoy the cool air was followed by him. Along the way, it would block the king's head, shield him from the rain and cold, and avoid the suffering of wind and frost!

When Wang Shuchu Daxing heard this, he couldn't help but sneer. People like him never believed in the so-called "cause and effect". People die like a lamp extinguished! Any spiritual saint will disappear. Although King Zhao was alive, he was so majestic when he closed his eyes and lay in the coffin, he was no different from all ordinary people in the world. The reason why these stupid palace people wishfully made up some nonsense that they didn't even believe was just because they were afraid of their unknown fate.

In fact, in the eyes of Chu Daxing, not only the people in the palace had different ideas, but also the officials of all sizes in the royal court were like this? One day, the emperor and the other day! This is the case with the Great Zhou Dynasty in Luocheng, Zhongzhou. However, there is similarity within the vassal states, and there is no difference. Everyone is worried that they will suffer unexpected disasters in the upcoming change of royal power, and who doesn’t want to take this opportunity to open their eyes and earn greater wealth!

As soon as he thought that all this would be decided soon after, Chu Daxing was extremely excited. At this moment, before stepping onto the steps outside the gate of Fushou Hall, he glanced at Chu Qingyun who was walking on the left with confidence, and the cold smile in his eyes was like a poisonous snake spitting out the core.

"Second Young Master, don't blame me then! You choose the way yourself. Since you have joined this game without hesitation, you must be ready to be a chess piece... Humph! Let's let you sit on that throne for the time being today. You must have a good time before you fall down!"

Chu Qingyun naturally couldn't guess what he was thinking. His entire attention was at the door of the hall ahead. He stepped onto the steps one by one, and every step he took, he felt that the hatred in his heart became deeper.

"Father! This is the last time I call you Father. Even if you are so powerful, you will eventually lie here. Unfortunately, I can never ask in front of you why you watched my mother die under the sword of chaos! People in the world say that you are a heroic king, but how many people know that you are a cruel and ruthless father? You left everyone behind in favor of the woman in the harem. Thousands of love for so many years have been added to her... What's especially hateful is that you love the house and the ninth king, but for the sake of your own selfishness, you are actually here. Before you die, you hand over the power to an incompetent young man! Am I not your son? Well! Since you are so ruthless, don’t blame me for being unrighteous. I will take back what I deserve! Just today, if you really have spiritual knowledge, just watch it carefully. Watch me put on the crown, sit on a high position, and accept the congratulations of your ministers. Then, watch me kill the bitch and his son in front of you with my own hands... I want you to walk in the underworld in great pain! In this way, I can offset my hatred for years."

Thinking of the torture and the pain he had suffered over the years, Chu Qingyun's eyes turned bloody when he stepped on the highest stairs. Then, he raised his head and saw the closed hall gate and some figures blocking the front.

"What are you here for?"

Someone asked coldly, but it was a woman's voice. Chu Qingyun and several royal nobles who were walking in the front naturally recognized who she was. Someone answered.

"Princess Lingyun, we are all here to worship the former kings. Please order people to open the palace gate!"

Chu Lingyun, who was covered in white and had a little red and swollen eyes, had been waiting here for a long time with a group of palace maids and guards. She really wanted to see with her own eyes how this drama led by some people would start.

"The spiritual throne of the former king is in the front hall, you can just worship there. We are here to protect us, so there is no need for outsiders to worry about it."

Chu Lingyun has always been cold and arrogant, and he does not pretend to be rude to anyone. On weekdays, even the queen can compete with her in the palace. She has been guarding the spirit since the Xingyue Tower and entered the palace with Chu Jiangmian from Xingyue Tower, and her face looks very haggard. At this moment, facing these royal nobles, she is not polite at all.

The officials of the royal court who were waiting under the steps were silent. They looked at the situation in different moods and predicted what would happen next. Some of the royal nobles who had already taken the lead in front of the steps showed anger on their faces. Although the princess of the royal family was the legitimate sister of King Zhao, how could she bear such rude words in front of them, the elders of the royal family?

More than a dozen people looked at Chu Qingyun and Wang Shuchu Daxing, but they followed him. As the elder of the royal family, Chu Daxing took the initiative and took a step forward and lowered his face.

"Princess Lingyun, you are a woman, don't interfere in political affairs! Today, the royal nobles and the ministers have important things to deal with here. You should retreat quickly and don't delay major issues."

Chu Daxing was completely instructing. Chu Lingyun was not within his consideration. His targets today were Queen Jiang Xin and Chu Jiangmian. Although this Princess Lingyun had a stingy personality, she was a royal woman without any power after all. What's more, it was rumored that she had no harmonious relationship with the queen. So she showed her style as an elder and was about to drive her away directly.

However, Chu Daxing and the others were wrong. They didn't know that before they arrived, Chu Lingyun, who had already learned the news, stubbornly refused to listen to the dissuasion of the queen and others, did not stay in the palace and wait but blocked directly in front of the door, to give them all a good look!

King Zhao has a girl named Ling Yun, who is unparalleled and is not inferior to a man! Hearing Uncle Wang's disdainful words, her eyebrows raised, like a sharp sword unsheathed.

"Brother Wang passed away, and the country's major affairs have been explained. All military and political affairs will be represented by Prince Jiang Mian. As ministers, you just keep your duties well, take their own responsibilities, do your best to maintain the current situation. Without his personal instructions and arrangements, you don't have to worry too much about other matters! As royal families, do this today, is it to incite people's hearts to openly disobey the last orders of the previous kings?"

In front of so many people, she almost pointed at the noses of the royal nobles present and scolded loudly. How could this be endured? Many people's faces changed at that time. Chu Daxing's eyes showed fierce light, and he glared at his pair of triangular eyes and said gloomy.

"Princess Lingyun, you are too overestimating yourself! For your youth and ignorance, we will not be skeptical about you, so hurry up and go! Chu Jiangmian has no talent and virtue and cannot bear the heavy responsibility. We have long agreed to assist the second young master Qingyun as the new king. Now we must establish this matter in front of the former king Ling! Come on! Go open the palace gate, and we will take back the Fengyun Sword and Golden Feather Bow in Chu Jiangmian's hand!"

The few servants following them moved when they heard the sound and were about to walk forward and push open the heavy hall door. But when they heard a delicate shout, the sword light flashed, everyone retreated in surprise. What they saw in their eyes was standing among Chu Lingyun, white clothes were as white as snow, long sword was unsheathed, and the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were full of evil spirits.

"Whoever dares to come forward, no matter who it is, will be killed without mercy!"

Although this sentence was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly. Chu Daxing and others were angry and annoyed. They never expected that this princess of Zhao would forcefully stand up at this time. Her identity was special, so she couldn't really order someone to go up and kill her, right? She didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

"Go up! Don't worry about her, force the door to open the palace gate and get the sword and bow back."

After a little silence, someone gave a command in a low voice. When many people looked up in surprise, they saw the tough men who had been following Chu Qingyun suddenly pulled out their short swords from their bodies. Seeing that they were still a few steps away from power, he didn't care who was blocking the way! From now on, the gods blocked the gods! The demons blocked the demons!

The confidants who followed Liaodong County back to Longcheng had already sworn to be loyal to the second young master. They were all dead soldiers! They were short swords in their hands and strode forward. In a blink of an eye, they were about to meet Princess Lingyun face to face. Chu Lingyun's eyes were cold, and he was on the chest. Seeing someone reaching out to push the palace gate, she didn't even hesitate, and with one sword, she cut off one of the man's arm.

Blood splattered on the steps, but the burly man didn't say a word. He glanced at his arms that were chopped to the ground, and murderous aura rose on his face. Then, they heard Chu Qingyun's cold orders in their ears.

"Disaster, kill!"
