cold hearted son-in-law

In China, it is extremely shameless for a man to use a woman's dowry. Naturally, Xiao Wei would not accept the eldest princess's dowry, and strongly demanded to return to Beijing with Chu Yunxi again.

Chu Yunxi, who made a big oolong, wanted to say that the dowry was taken from the warehouse. Although no one knew about it, it was considered theft at most, and it was stolen from his own house. Stealing is not considered stealing!Why did she recite a stolen name?

Touching the box in the back of the bag, I wanted to go to the pawnshop to sell it for cash and give it to Xiaowei, but the pawnshop owner not only gave the price of cabbage, but also threatened that Dongzhu was a tribute and belonged to the royal family with a certain status Clan members only have them, and Kefeng's jade comb is a royal item at first glance, even aristocrats and wealthy families are not allowed to use these ornaments indiscriminately, and Chu Yunxi and his party are dressed in good materials, but they are plain and low-key, and the current The royal aristocrats are not so low as to go to the pawn shop to exchange money. The shop owner suspected that they and his party were thieves who stole the palace. The things are indeed valuable, but they cannot be sold. If they are found out, they will be sent to the government. It is still a felony. This makes Chu Yunxi, who has been in China for nearly two years, dumbfounded. Hastily left and went straight to the capital.

Chu Yunxi recited that box from the capital and carried it back, and even carried the name of 'stolen' on it!

It was almost the end of the new year, the twelfth lunar month of winter, the wind and snow, the weather was freezing, and the dawn was not yet dawn. Chu Yunxi and his party stopped in front of the gate of the capital, waiting for the gate to open.

Looking at the word "Kyoto" on the city gate, Chu Yunxi was filled with emotion.The first time she came to Beijing was in the 11th year of Jianwen, she came here to avenge her grievances and became the number one scholar; the second time she came to Beijing was in the [-]th year of Jianwen, she has the two prominent identities of the eldest son-in-law and the Jiedushi of Zhaoyi , made a great contribution and came back triumphantly, named as Marquis of Tsing Yi, made a sensation in China, and left a name in history; now it is the third time to go to Beijing, only bringing Xiao Wei and entourage, no more than ten people, coming for his own antidote, without the queen mother as a bargaining chip With it in hand, I can only hope that this time it will be as lucky as the last two rounds.

Chu Yunxi sat on the horse and thought slowly. From the time when the Lantern Festival came to China inexplicably in the 11th year of Jianwen, until today, December 28, the 12th year of Jianwen, New Year’s Eve will be two days later. After the New Year’s Eve, it will be the [-]th year of Jianwen. One year is really fleeting, but too many things have happened. In less than two years, even the capital city has changed its owner.

When the city gate was opened, although there were few pedestrians in the city, there were no soldiers and generals looting indiscriminately, and no one disturbed the common people.In addition to the frequent inspections by soldiers and generals in the city, the people still have their own duties. As the New Year's Eve is approaching, every household is decorated with lanterns and festoons to celebrate the New Year with joy.Maybe who is the emperor is irrelevant to the people of the world. The people only care about whether the current emperor will reduce their taxes, whether they can eat enough, and live a better life.

"Chu Lang, please make me wait!" Mrs. Hua is wearing a vermilion brocade dress with wide sleeves. The collar, sleeves and edge of the skirt are all decorated with golden auspicious cloud patterns, embroidered with a picture of a phoenix wearing a peony, eight colorful phoenixes, and in the middle of the colorful phoenix. , interspersed with several pure and elegant peonies, gold threaded jade belt around the waist, topaz pendant, phoenix and phoenix bun, wearing red jade drop beads and phoenix head golden step, and the index finger of the left hand wears a golden engraving. The nail cover of the carved cloud flying dragon sits on the dragon chair in the Taiji Hall, with an imposing manner like a rainbow, wild and unruly.

Chu Yunxi came to see Madam Hua alone in the palace. Looking at Madam Hua, who was dressed in fine clothes, her attention was on the long and slightly curved finger guards. I remember that I only saw Madam Hua wearing finger guards in Huaxia. , Chu Yunxi carefully and tentatively asked: "I haven't seen you for two months, how is Mrs. Hua? What's wrong with your hand?"

"Does Chu Lang really care about me, or does he pretend to care about me?" Mrs. Hua said with a joke, ignoring the servant girl standing next to her, while Chu Yunxi was standing below the ninth step. The two looked at each other calmly, but The intimacy of the past is gone.

Chu Yunxi was stunned, then lowered his head slightly and asked with a smile: "Why did Mrs. Hua say that? Do you suspect that I, Chu Yunxi, came here with ulterior motives?"

"Hmph, isn't it? Then what do you think you want to go to Longhua Temple?" Mrs. Hua stood up and walked slowly in front of Chu Yunxi. The long and sharp finger guard of her left hand lifted Chu Yunxi's chin to force Chu Yunxi Looking up, eyes met, and asked in a cold voice.

"Enjoy the scenery!" Chu Yunxi answered crisply, tilting his head to avoid the sharp fingertips with some displeasure.

"The scenery there is indeed beautiful, and I have stayed there for several years, but why is Chu Lang running around with the strange poison in his body? If he came directly to Ben Gong, maybe Ben Gong has already got the other medicine." Mrs. Hua sneered Shaking his head, he waved his hand to send everyone else in the hall back out.

"Maybe!" Chu Yunxi looked at her and smiled back.When she was blind, Mrs. Hua visited, but never said when she would be given another pill.And if the medicine was so easy to get, she wouldn't go to Longhua Temple to find the Queen Mother.

"Chu Lang doesn't believe in me?" Mrs. Hua looked at Chu Yunxi sharply and asked.

Chu Yunxi didn't speak, nor did he make any attitude, which was regarded as tacit consent.

Mrs. Hua sat back on the dragon chair, neither annoyed nor angry, and said faintly with a proud look: "Well, the king has no jokes, and I don't want to kill you, so I will give you another chance, as long as you order Tell the world that you have surrendered to this palace and are willing to serve this palace, then the medicine will be given to you immediately, and this palace will also add a phase, and set up two prime ministers on the left and right to be in power, and reward you with phase."

Chu Yunxi remains unmoved, what is the use of fame and fortune to her now?Chu Yunxi shook his head and said: "Mrs. Hua is fighting with each other, isn't she afraid that people in the world will laugh at her?"

Mrs. Hua was taken aback, looked at Chu Yunxi arrogantly and disdainfully, and said, "Chu Yunxi, are you like that ordinary person? Whoever is strong in this world wins. In front of the throne, there are no parents, relatives, friends or siblings. Fools Ridiculous? This palace kills so that no one dares to laugh! The descendants of thousands of years will only read the history books written by the victors, and will remember that there was a female emperor and a female prime minister in China, which created a peaceful and prosperous world. "

"If I don't act like a girl, will you give me the antidote?" Chu Yunxi asked again.

Mrs. Hua did not answer Chu Yunxi's words, but said: "Even if I give you the antidote, where can you go in the future? The south? Once your identity is revealed, the emperor will not endure being fooled by others, let alone let his daughter To be ridiculed by the world, besides, you forgot how Xiao Yichen died?"

When Chu Yunxi heard Xiao Yichen's name, the smile on his face faded, and his expression became gloomy.Xiao Yichen, every time this name was mentioned, she felt as if a needle had been pricked in her heart, and her hatred for the prince and Qin Jue deepened in her heart.She has hundreds of ways to put these two people to death, but she can't do anything in the current situation. Once the crown prince dies, she and the eldest princess will never die. Once Qin Jue dies, Prime Minister Qin's party will break with the eldest princess. It’s okay to choose to support other princes, but I’m afraid that the faction of Prime Minister Qin will rebel again, and the disputes in Huaxia’s country will not be just one more person. The country Xi, the Nanzhao country in the south, it would be difficult for Huaxia to support whichever side invaded. Maybe the rise and fall of China has nothing to do with her. She can just walk away and ignore it. What about the innocent people?If the ruined Huaxia was caused by her, Chu Yunxi and even Chu Yuyan couldn't bear the sin.

Madam Hua saw Chu Yunxi's gloomy face, and said, "Chu Yunxi, although the world is big, where can you go? Do you really want to live in seclusion in the mountains? You are still young, can you bear the endless loneliness?"

Chu Yunxi did not speak, but stubbornly looked at the person in front of him.

Mrs. Hua sighed, lowered her voice helplessly, and said, "You stay in the capital first, think about it carefully, at the time of the Lantern Festival in the next year, I will proclaim the emperor, and it will not be too late."

Chu Yunxi was noncommittal, looked at Mrs. Hua, and wanted to ask whether Mrs. Hua would give her the antidote in Yuanxiao, but Mrs. Hua suddenly smiled and said, "I have prepared a surprise for Chu Lang."

"Surprise?" Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua, unable to guess what surprise was there besides the other medicine.

"When I asked people to rush to make the dragon robe for the enthronement ceremony, I specially made another prime minister's official uniform based on Chu Lang's figure. You must like it, why don't you try it?" Mrs. Hua said with a bit of joy, and immediately called out Get it from the clothing store.

Chu Yunxi didn't have time to refuse, but she didn't mean to be happy either. She was still wearing a narrow-sleeved tight-fitting Hu suit, and the fireplace in the hall was very warm. low.

The servant led two older maids, but respectfully presented two pieces of clothes, one golden and one lavender, one was a python robe with four claws, and the other was a dragon robe with five claws.

"Why did you present both of them?" Mrs. Hua asked plainly, and there was no sign of displeasure.

"Your Majesty, Steward Wu of the Clothing Department has been changed according to His Majesty's instructions. I have sent it here to His Majesty for instructions to see if it can be done this time? The enthronement ceremony is just around the corner. Don't dare to delay. Your Majesty, if you don't make up your mind, Steward Wu may take years to come." It's all bad." The eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice, with flattering tone, made Chu Yunxi cover his head, and stood aside without saying a word.

"Okay then, Chu Lang, let's see if this dress fits you well?" Mrs. Hua called Chu Yunxi kindly, and Chu Yunxi walked over slowly.

The two maids opened their clothes in front of Chu Yunxi, and encircled the magnificent nine-python four-clawed python with golden velvet embroidery, with flowing water patterns, and the robe was decorated with beads and jade, gorgeous and delicate.

"What is the meaning of Mrs. Hua always giving me clothes?" Chu Yunxi looked at the clothes in front of her. She had also been given clothes by Mrs. Hua before. They were brightly colored or as gorgeous as this one, but she never knew what the meaning was, nor did she. I like this too gorgeous and eye-catching clothes, so I asked puzzled.

Mrs. Hua glanced at Chu Yunxi, but didn't answer her. She recruited four more personal maids, and the waiters put on the nine five-clawed flying dragons embroidered in flat gold and flat silver, and also wore crowns. There are 12 pieces of multicolored jade, arranged in the order of Zhu, Bai, Cang, Huang, and Xuan, covering Mrs. Hua's hibiscus jade face, lined with a lustrous and majestic dragon robe, the king's spirit is fully displayed, generous and elegant. And style.

Chu Yunxi looked at the person in front of her seriously, but suddenly felt that the person standing in front of her was so strange, so strange that she felt afraid of this person in her heart, as if she had just realized that this person used to be the powerful Hua Hua. Princess Chao, who is now forcing the emperor to flee south by force, seized the throne and dared to be the No. , Where does the worship come from?This feeling is not like herself, maybe to be precise, it is not like her before.

Mrs. Hua was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and looked at Chu Yunxi with pursed lips, intending to ask her opinion.

Chu Yunxi looked a little pale, looked at Mrs. Hua, couldn't say a word, saluted hastily, then stumbled away from the palace.

It wasn't until outside the palace gate that I saw Xiao Wei and a few attendants waiting for me, and then I calmed down a bit, but my mind was still thinking about Mrs. Hua's appearance in a dragon robe over and over again, and my heart jumped wildly. The person in the robe blurred into the appearance of another person, a person who was equally familiar and yet unfamiliar.

Seeing Chu Yunxi's pale face, Xiao Wei hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Yunxi shook his head slowly, wanting to say something to comfort the nervous Xiao Wei, but only two words came out of his mouth: "Empress!"

Xiao Wei was puzzled, Mrs. Hua wanted to proclaim herself emperor, and now it was known all over the world, why did Chu Yunxi react so strongly to this matter?When he wanted to ask again, one of the entourages hurriedly handed over a secret letter of wax paint, and reported in a low voice: "My lord, Deputy Envoy Li has an urgent message. He has assembled a total of 15 soldiers and horses from Youzhou, Qingzhou, and is marching south urgently, but the war in the south is urgent. The defeat is obvious, and there is a suspected plague, the deputy envoy asked, will it still be carried out according to the original plan?"
